Chapter 26: The Night of Fate Animation

  (It's summer now, and many things have become fresh. It's three more days until the deadline for collection recommendations and rewards. Thank you all for your continued support! So today I'll try to save the world...)

  The incident occurred on the third day after the school's sports competition in the afternoon after school was dismissed.

  Just as youth is full of lies and deception, life is also full of all sorts of unexpected things.

  Before telling this story, no, before telling about this experience, Sosuke thought of a question.

  Has anyone heard of the theoretical aspect of logic - Occam's Razor, proposed by William of Ockham, a 14th-century logician and Franciscan friar.

  This principle is called 'Entities should not be multiplied beyond necessity', or the 'Principle of Parsimony'. As he said in his commentary on Proverbs 2:15, "It is wholly unnecessary to do with more things what can be done with fewer."

  In fact, it is just sixteen words:

  Avoid the heavy and seek the light; avoid complexity and pursue simplicity; use simplicity to control complexity; avoid emptiness and focus on reality.

  Why should we make the complex simple? Because complexity can easily lead people astray, and only by simplifying it can people understand and operate it better. If there are two different hypotheses for the same phenomenon, we should adopt the simpler one.

  However, many people often tend to complicate things when facing them, making them more complex and diverse, causing themselves to lose direction in their own theories.

  For example, if a girl says "I hate you" to you, what kind of thoughts will the person who is being told think?

  Go find out why the girl dislikes herself? Go think about what you did wrong? Go recall the time spent with her? Go think of a way to change the status quo?

  No, none of these are correct. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. All the above methods have complicated simple things. The original straight road to the destination has been twisted and bent, which actually prolongs the time it takes to reach the destination.

  The truly correct answer is not to do those meaningless things, but to solve the girl's disgust towards herself in the simplest way.

  Then go and discuss what she likes, this is the simplest answer.

  This question is wrong. The principle is just like a brain teaser: if 1=2, 2=4, 3=6, then what does 4 equal?

  People who are good at math will definitely say 'According to this theory, 4 is definitely equal to 8.'

  The answer is 8 but it's not wrong, however, whoever got this answer must have overcomplicated the problem.

  They will definitely think that the front is a natural number, and the back is twice that natural number. In fact, this problem has a simpler solution. Since 2 = 4, then 4 must be equal to 2.

  This is not a math problem, nor can it be considered a brain teaser, but the answer to whether 8 or 2 is correct can confirm whether a person's thinking tends towards complexity or simplicity.

  It must be declared here that simplicity does not refer to being simple-minded, but rather refers to simplifying thinking.

  In summary, just like the theory that youth is a lie, Sosuke tends to simplify things rather than complicating them.

  He's not some delicate girl who doesn't speak her mind, always mumbling and pretending to be in a beautiful girl manga world.

  So Sōsuke can express his emotions so well through his direct surprise, opposition, anger and unexpectedness.

  "Based on what you just told me, I'm really surprised and delighted, to be honest. But can it really happen that quickly?"

  "This is the most important place we've been preparing for, striking while the iron is hot. You're not unfamiliar with this idiom, are you? When the game is extremely popular, further development and innovation are carried out, relying on the current popularity to bring in more players and spectators, of course, profits are indispensable."

  "This I understand, but if it's too fast, won't it cause dissatisfaction? And what route will the animation production take then? If it's too far-fetched, it might even have a counterproductive effect."

  According to Urobuchi's own memory, the anime storyline of Fate/stay night is mainly based on the Fate route but also incorporates parts of other routes. However, most of it follows the Fate route, and if changes were made to produce another route, it would be too far-fetched.

  After all, the FATE route is the orthodox ending for many people.

  When it comes to this point, Sosuke finds himself liking the word "Orthodox" perhaps because of its correctness.

  This is natural.

  On the other end of the phone, Nasu Kinoko, the head of TYPE-MOON, agreed with Saku's statement.

  On this side, Sosuke believed that the other party must have made thorough preparations, but still had some worries.

  Delightful things are delightful, and simple thinking gave Sosuke a very straightforward and correct explanation.

  "Can your company really do a good job?"

  "Your suspicion is quite normal, but there's no need to worry about this, we have enough talent and you won't just let go either. I just hope everyone will cooperate well."

  "If there's a need for help, I'll provide it here. As for the programming of images, Hai Cheng will take care of it. As for dubbing, even if it's not the main character, I hope Lin Xuan can get some practice."

  "I always feel that Mr. Sosuke is very humble, despite achieving such excellent results, he doesn't have any sense of pride or arrogance."

  Sosuke couldn't help but smile wryly as he heard this and realized that point.

  Aren't you being arrogant?

  Although it is something created based on others' achievements, standing on the shoulders of giants and gazing at miracles, in this world, all these things belong to oneself.

  Borrowing, plagiarizing, imitating, no matter what, from the result, Sosuke is the 'Creator'.

  This statement may be a bit extreme, but in fact there is nothing wrong with it ——

  It's just like a Xianxia story, the protagonist obtains the power of a failed Xianxia cultivator and rises from being a minor character to becoming a top-tier expert, gaining the highest honor. Shouldn't this be something to be excited about?

  So, Sosuke respects those originals and at the same time wants to draw their brilliance again in this world with his own hands.

  "So, the anime adaptation of 'Fate/Stay Night' has been approved, I'll send out a notice on the official website, and at that time we'll need you and others to work on the script."

  "No problem, from when will it be implemented?"

  "The specific time is still pending, after all, some scriptwriters have received other jobs and can't take care of this side, well, just like busy voice actors."

  So many voice actors will record alone in a recording studio after receiving the job, and finally hand it over to software programmers and post-production personnel for dubbing synthesis.

  Everyone has their own life and their own way of working, and Satoru is no exception.

  When it comes to creating something, he likes to stay alone in his room and create with soft music.

  The system is not absolute, and the help it provides is only a part of it. The remaining part needs to be done by oneself.

  To put it simply, unlike those golden fingers that are like nannies, our system can make you need your own 'assistants'.

  "I'll find an opportunity to go and take a look at the scene, so I'll trouble Mr. Naozane then."

  "No, no, it's this way, I'll be in touch if there are any developments."

  "Alright."

  Hanging up the phone, gazing at the streets stretching out from underfoot in the twilight.

  "Will 'Fate/Stay Night' be animated?"

  Besides this, there's another competition this month, I'll be busy.
