soon!
The news spread across continents!
"Shadow's first animated film is finished?"
"Complete an animated film in two months?"
"Shadow as the chief director of an animated film?"
"Cartoonist Shadow Forcefully Directs Animated Film!"
"Are we crazy or is it the shadows?"
"A new director's first animated film was completed in just two months. Is such a work meaningful?"
"Why is the Dream Factory so unreliable?"
…
On the blog.
Countless people were dumbfounded!
"How come Shadow himself became the chief director of the first animated film?"
“Will he make an animated film?”
"Anyway, he has never tried this before. Although many of his works have been adapted into animations, he is only the original author and does not participate in the actual production."
"Will this work?"
"It's impossible!"
"Look at how long it took to make this animated film. What good stuff can be produced in two months?"
"Shadow, this is too unreliable!"
"Maybe Chu Kuang and Xian Yu put too much pressure on him."
"As an outsider to animation films, it only took me two months to make an animation film. I really can't imagine what the quality of the work will be like."
"Is Shadow God anxious?"
"Wouldn't that be damaging your own reputation?"
…
tribe.
Someone is setting the pace here!
"In order to catch up with Chu Kuang and Xian Yu, Shadow has completely fallen into madness!"
“He actually became an animated film director!”
"I know he wants to transform, but the problem is that transformation also requires a technical foundation. Does he understand what the job of a chief director is?"
"Do you dare to watch this movie?"
"To be honest, I don't want to waste my time watching it."
"Upstairs plus one."
"It feels like Shadow was stimulated this time."
“Once people are stimulated, they will do irrational things.”
“Hey.”
"Shadow God, you should just come back to drawing comics. If you're really interested in production, you can become a director of Doraemon, which might be a lot easier."
…
Animation film circle.
Many people were speechless.
"What's going on with this shadow?"
"I see."
"Understand what?"
“I understand why the film was declared finished after only two months of work.”
"Because Shadow is the chief director and also the boss of this animation film company."
"Who could be against him?"
"Everyone can only let him do whatever he wants."
"Perhaps he mistook the filming of an animated film for the filming of a serialized cartoon. Is the quality of what he produced in the past two months acceptable?"
…
at last.
Even people from the five major animation film companies on Blue Star learned about this.
"Hahaha!"
"Strange things happen every year, but this year there are especially many."
“I didn’t expect that a master in the comics world would be so ridiculous when he came to our animation film industry.”
"Perhaps you think that animation is just like comics and is easy to conquer?"
"I paid some attention to this person before. After all, he has a huge influence in the comics circle."
"It's me."
"I thought he would be a threat to us before, but now it seems that he is not worth worrying about."
"You just worry too much."
"There are so many companies on Blue Star that make animated films. Apart from the five of us, the other companies are all losers."
…
Chasing the dream factory.
The entire team behind the animated film was outraged.
"Depend on!"
"These people know nothing!"
"Some people haven't even watched our movies properly, so why are they criticizing us so much?"
“Is there a problem with Shadow Teacher being a director?”
"Shadow is the best animated film director in the world!"
“Is there a problem with producing a finished product in two months?”
"We spent so much money to hire so many people and buy so much cutting-edge technology from Blue Star, plus Teacher Shadow's finished products. Two months is too slow!"
"Hurry up and show it!"
"Only after it's released can we slap them in the face!"
"We can still give them a slap in the face even if it's not released. We've made a few promotional videos. Let them see our promotional videos and know the quality of this movie!"
Everyone is very angry!
They forgot that they once questioned Shadow, but now they will not allow anyone to question Shadow God!
…
That night.
It is a hot topic on the entire Internet.
Amid countless doubts.
DreamWorks suddenly released several promotional videos for "WALL-E", each of which is about two to three minutes long.
Unlike the crude and shoddy products people imagine:
The promotional video for this animated film is very beautiful!
First, the picture.
Every frame of the pictures shown in the promotional video is worthy of scrutiny!
Then there’s the soundtrack.
The overall artistic level is very high, and the music makes people feel grand when listening to it!
This time.
The number of doubts was reduced by half, and many people were shocked!
“I’ll go!”
"What's going on?"
"The images in this promotional video are so beautiful, the quality is really amazing!"
“How did DreamWorks manage to produce such good images in just two months?”
"Isn't this a bit perverted?"
"I thought the picture would be very exciting, but I didn't expect it to be such a beautiful 3D animation!"
"The scenes in the trailer can be used directly as screen savers."
"Is this really directed by Shadow?"
“Although I don’t know the quality of the plot, judging from this trailer, I think this animated film is much more carefully made than people think!”
"At least I didn't slack off on the technical side!"
"But I think that the release of this promotional video just shows Shadow's guilty conscience."
"What do you mean?"
"You still don't understand the movie promotion routine."
"For 80% of bad movies, the best parts are in the trailers. The trailers look good, but when you are tricked into going to the cinema, you will find that the content of the main film is so lazy that you might as well just watch the trailers."
"you mean?"
"Shadow may be using this trick, editing all the most exciting scenes into the promotional video. In fact, the scenes in the main film are not as good as those in the promotional video."
"I believe in shadows!"
"Then you should be prepared to be a loser. I've seen this kind of trick many times. Promotional video?"
"hehe."
The doubt is half gone, but there is still half left.
The remaining half of the people thought that the promotional video was a routine trap set by the producers, but this was not a problem that Lin Yuan could solve. He couldn't release all the content now.
Fortunately, the theater has already negotiated it.
A few hours after the promo aired.
The Shadow Chaser Studio has updated the news again:
The movie will be officially released on October 1st. Please support Shadow’s first animated film!
For a while.
All parties were somewhat confused and uncertain.
Even the people from the five major animation film companies began to struggle:
Something is wrong!
This movie was clearly made in two months, and it was directed by a new director named Yingzi. Why is this company so high-profile, acting as if our movie is so great
Why are you so confident
…
Qizhou.
Hu Yan is the director of Firefly Animation, one of the five major animation film companies on Blue Star.
The most legendary thing about Hu Yan is:
He once spent half a year to shoot an animated film of very good quality.
From then on, Hu Yan was hailed as the first "quick shooter" in the animation film industry.
Ever since Yingzi was going to make an animated film, Hu Yan has been paying close attention to him.
Because Hu Yan admired the other party's comic works very much, and even thought about having a chance to collaborate with him.
result.
Things that shocked Hu Yan happened one after another.
First, Shadow’s animated film called “Wall-E” was produced in just two months.
Then there is Shadow himself who directed the film!
A new director made an animated film in two months
It's easy to tell that what this new director spent two months making must be horrible.
Hu Yan also thought this was ridiculous.
But.
Just when everyone was thinking so.
This new director came up with a promotional video that surprised everyone!
Although the few minutes of the trailer cannot reveal the quality of the plot, and even make people unable to fully understand what the movie is trying to express, the pictures and music don’t lie!
The picture quality is very high!
The soundtrack in the promotional video is also quite good!
These things are so good that there is no way they could have been made in just two months!
Even if, as some people speculate, the essence of the movie is all in the trailer...
Hu Yan was still very curious about this movie.
"Two months is theoretically achievable."
Hu Yan analyzed the situation carefully and decided that as long as the preliminary preparations were done in advance, Wei Zhou's latest intelligent super brain technology could be adopted.
But that thing seems ridiculously expensive.
Don’t even think about getting involved without a huge investment of several hundred million.
The effect of the promotional video "Look at the Shadow" is probably due to the use of this technology.
And on the premise that there are no problems in all links, an animated film can indeed be completed in two months.
But this is only in theory.
Is there really anyone in the world who can make all the preparations in advance
Isn’t this brain’s construction ability too strong
This means that the director has already had an idea of what the movie should look like in his mind, so all aspects can be executed accurately!
Hu Yan completed an animated film in half a year.
He always thought that this was the speed limit of Blue Planet.
At least no one can be faster than you until you break your own record.
But then the shadow appeared.
It only takes two months to complete.
Hu Yan thought that if he wanted to break through his limits again, it would take at least five months to complete the task, but Yingzi actually reduced the limit to two months: "Maybe he sacrificed something in exchange for time, but if the final quality of the work is not well controlled, what is the point of simply pursuing production speed?"
How can there be box office without quality
I can't understand the nonsense.
Don't think about things you can't figure out.
Hu Yan decided to buy a ticket and go see it in person.
…
Hu Yan turned on his phone and prepared to book a ticket.
suddenly.
He saw that in a group he was in, many colleagues from the Big Five companies were chatting.
"I just got the news that Shadow's movie used Wei Zhou's technology."
"The one that claims to be the intelligent super brain technology?"
"But even so, two months is still too much."
"Don't you want to prepare?"
"Script writing, storyboarding, character design, scene design, color design, dubbing and music..."
“These things take time.”
“Some of them can be done simultaneously.”
"In general, with the current technology of our Blue Planet, it is theoretically possible to make a proper animated film in two months. However, the reason why theories are only theories is because there are too many variables to consider in reality. I don't know what the shadow is doing, but what is certain is that his movie is a mess. Even if the graphics can keep up, other aspects will definitely be dragged down."
"There's no need to watch a movie like this."
"Haha, only a very bored person would go to watch this movie."
"I'm not going anyway."
"Maybe only Shadow's poor fans are going to be chopped off like leeks."
Hu Yan laughed.
Are you a fan of Shadow
Maybe it can be considered as such, as I have indeed followed a lot of his comics, otherwise I wouldn't have been so curious as to buy movie tickets even though I knew that his movie was likely to be a rip-off.
…
that's all.
A few days passed.
October 1st.
Hu Yan arrived at the cinema early.
Although he is a big director of the five major animation film companies, he is after all a behind-the-scenes staff.
At this time, he had an untidy beard and greasy hair, and no one could recognize him...
"Old Hu?"
Just as Hu Yan was thinking this, a voice suddenly came from the side.
"Old Zhang?"
Hu Yan turned around, thinking that a fan recognized him, but he didn't expect that the other person was also a director of one of the five major companies.
"Why are you here?"
"I came here to take a look out of curiosity."
After Hu Yan finished speaking, he looked a little strange and said, "Didn't you madly criticize Shadow in the group yesterday, saying that you would never watch this movie no matter what?"
"Ah, you were spying on the screen!"
"Yeah, I saw you guys were having a blast so I didn't say anything. After all, you know, I still really like Shadow's comics."
"Then don't tell anyone about this."
Old Zhang was so embarrassed that such a thing could happen to him!
Hu Yan suppressed his laughter and said, "I won't tell anyone, and you don't have to be embarrassed by yourself. Look at the one in the east, is he Lao Wang?"
"Huh?"
Old Zhang looked back and was stunned.
Depend on!
This old Wang!
Yesterday, I echoed the same tune as myself in the group, complaining about Yingzi spending two months making an animated film, saying things like "all those who watch this movie are leeks" and "only idiots will watch this movie."
How come we met in the cinema today
Fate is wonderful beyond words.
Lao Zhang wanted to go over and say hello to Lao Wang, but was suddenly stopped by Hu Yan.
"What's wrong?"
"Look in the group."
Lao Zhang was stunned for a moment, then opened the group chat and saw Lao Wang sent another message:
Why is the group so quiet? No one is really going to watch Shadow's animated movie? No way, no way
Lao Zhang: “…”
This guy really owes money!
If I take a photo of the other person sending a message in the cinema and post it in the group, I wonder what the effect will be
Social death on the spot
Actually, to put it bluntly:
Whether people in the industry or outside the industry, although they said "impossible" with their mouths, their bodies were still honest and came to the cinema.
Because they all had a certain degree of curiosity in their hearts, as well as a certain degree of caution towards Shadow, the "God of Comics".
Yes.
Many people in the animation circle don’t want to admit that they are a little nervous about the God of Comics coming to make animations.

ps: Two-in-one is over. Some people say that Wubai has to extract teeth every day. In fact, Wubai often complains about toothache and shouts that he wants to have teeth extracted. He has only had teeth extracted twice, one last time and one yesterday. He has four wisdom teeth in total. He has extracted two so far. There are two more left. I am considering whether to finish the book and then solve the remaining two. (To be continued)
