It was the first time that Chang Guanghua worked on a project with his top boss, so it would be a lie if he said he wasn’t nervous.
It's just that he is a person who, to put it nicely, works seriously and concentrates on his work, but to put it bluntly, he is an autistic painter who doesn't care about anything else once he gets into the working state. It is also because of this that after the initial nervousness and confusion, Chang Guanghua, who got the tools he was familiar with, quickly got into the meticulous work.
He looked at the storyboard script that was distributed to him, corresponding to the shots he was responsible for.
The storyboard script in front of him corresponds to the shots in the first episode of "The Prince of Tennis". When Chang Guanghua first got the script, he was surprised at the seemingly simple design of the script, but in fact every human element was portrayed just right in the animation performance, until he saw the three words "Mu Suxing" in the signature.
No wonder.
Our boss originally made an art short film, and the animation performance even overwhelmed the acting skills of real-life stars. Now it's just a TV animation. It's normal for him to achieve this level.
The whole morning was spent in boring hand-drawing.
As a cartoonist who had to hand-draw every shot, Chang Guanghua did not feel bored. He found that Fang Lian, who always loved to fool people, did not fool him this time.
Mu Suxing's design, which was also an animation storyboard design, gave him a refreshing feeling that he had never experienced before. Whether it was the camera movement direction that the other party had casually marked in the picture, or the various photography requirements in the processing column, these knowledge he had learned in college, formed another special landscape under Mu Suxing's pen.
"So that's how it is..."
While Chang Guanghua was pondering the reasons behind Mu Xuxing's design, he looked eagerly at Mu Xuxing who was sitting next to Fang Lian and instructing him on the revisions.
In Chang Guanghua's opinion, he had gained so much from studying the storyboards drawn by his own bss. If he had the opportunity to let bss guide him, even if it was just to point out a few of his problems, it would probably be enough for him.
Isn't it said that Director Mu would frequently go around when he was busy with a project? Why didn't he come to see him
Chang Guanghua was very disappointed.
Until the morning work was over and everyone went to the cafeteria for lunch, Chang Guanghua was a little depressed. Seeing this, his colleagues couldn't help but comfort him: "It's okay. It's like this for the first time with Director Mu's project team. Director Mu's requirements are quite strict, and the atmosphere in the group is inevitably tense. But you don't have to be too stressed. Director Mu is a very nice person. As long as you do your best to complete the work, there will be no problem."
"Today's result is pretty good. In the past..." A colleague shook his head and said, "You don't know how terrible it is to edit the image under the pressure of Director Mu."
At the end, he clasped his hands together and made a prayer gesture: "Thanks to Brother Fang for his self-sacrifice and benefiting the whole team, I must treat him to a meal after get off work today!"
Chang Guanghua looked at him in confusion: "Scary? Why is it scary? Isn't it a very lucky thing to be able to be guided by Director Mu to modify the picture?"
colleague:
Chang Guanghua didn't notice his colleagues looking at him like a monster. He was a little envious when he thought of this. "No wonder everyone says that Brother Fang and Director Mu have a good relationship. Hey, I also want to communicate with Director Mu. If I go to Director Mu privately to ask for advice, will he pay attention to me?"
colleague:…
I thought he was just a fool, but I never expected that he was such a die-hard fan.
These behind-the-scenes stories that happened during the production cycle of "The Prince of Tennis" are naturally unknown to outsiders. It is worth mentioning that among the dozens of fans who visited Huaying's headquarters, three of them recorded videos of their visit to Huaying that day and later posted them online. While everyone in Huaying was concentrating on their work, the video of Mu Suxing and Wen Feihang playing tennis became popular on the Internet!
The first people who paid attention to the video were only Huaying’s fans and colleagues who were interested in Huaying’s headquarters.
Since they are in the same industry, the focus naturally falls on the environment of Huaying’s headquarters.
It would have been better if they hadn't seen it, but after seeing it, they were really shocked by the generous benefits and excellent working environment of Huaying. Look at this professional tennis court, there are employees picnicking on the lawn, and the food on the tablecloth is all the best-selling products of Xingping Hotel. Isn't the treatment of Huaying employees too good
It’s the same team building, why is there such a big difference
When looking at the design drawings of the Huaying headquarters before, most people only felt that it was magnificent and beautiful, but not very realistic. Now looking at the photos and videos taken by fans, they feel shocked.
There are companies with such an environment. Not to mention those far away, there are Tengkong Entertainment, which is relatively close to Huaying's headquarters, and Mingguang Entertainment, the boss of Blue Star Entertainment. Although the layout of their headquarters is completely different from that of Huaying, their leisure facilities are almost the same.
But Huaying is an animation company.
It turns out that even people working in the animation industry can have this level of working environment
Not to mention the students who were majoring in animation, even some experienced animators from animation companies were eager to join the action after seeing the Huaying headquarters in the video. At the same time, the attention of Huaying fans and bystanders was focused on the overwhelming tennis match.
"Fuck, this bastard is pretty cool... Can anyone explain to me if this bastard is too strong or the opponent is too weak?"
"Maybe the opponent is too weak? After all, Xingxing is a workaholic. I've never seen him go to the gym to exercise on weekdays. He has no time to play tennis at all."
"This is hard to judge just by watching the video. What is certain is that Xingxing's ability is much higher than the opponent's, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hit an ace like drinking water. Judging from the video, his ability should be at least above amateur level. So is there any sister who can ask a big guy to come and make an assessment?"
This was of course just a joke - but even the fans who made the joke didn't expect that a big shot would actually show up under the video -
Xie Ge v: It is really hard to judge just by watching the video. If I estimate, one of them is probably at a good amateur level, and the other is probably at an ordinary professional level. If you have not received professional tennis training, it can be said to be quite amazing to be able to achieve this level.
Fans:!!!
Are they seeing things
The great devil Sheger, who never plays polite games in tennis, actually seriously praised a non-professional player
As the only Grand Slam player in Blue Star tennis, Sheger's tennis skills are naturally unquestionable. Although he looks like a shy, docile and bashful big boy on weekdays, once he is involved in tennis-related topics or stands on the tennis court, he will become a completely different person, so fierce and brutal that he can drive people into autism in minutes.
"My mom is shocked. I only knew that Star Tennis looked awesome, but I never thought it could be this awesome... So can anyone explain to me what the average professional level is in the Big Devil standard?"
"Shege's old fan answers you: Actually, it's nothing great. He can just play the whole game normally and not be beaten into autism by the big devil. P.S. The last ATP who was beaten into autism by him was ranked second in the world. You can feel it for yourself."
"So it turns out that Gouzei is not only an actor who was delayed by animation, but also a sports star who was delayed by animation?"
…
As the world's number one devil ranked by ATP, Xie Ge's popularity is self-evident. If the original video was only circulated in animation-related circles, then when Xie Ge reposted the Weibo and commented seriously, the entire video seemed to have a tendency to go viral.
Seeing that the topic of tennis on Weibo was getting hotter and hotter, Huaying's official Weibo also took advantage of the situation and blatantly advertised the upcoming "Prince of Tennis" -
Huaying Animation v: Want to know how to hit the coolest ace? The first tennis-themed animation in history, "The Prince of Tennis", will be broadcast on Xingning TV on May 15th. See you there~
The reactions of Huaying fans to this clear advertisement were surprisingly consistent.
"When I first saw this Weibo post, I was very happy. After so many years, my son finally learned marketing. But when I searched the entire Internet and suddenly found that Huaying had only posted this one advertisement, I was really dumbfounded. No, which company's advertisement can be completed by posting a Weibo post?"
"Here it comes, here it comes, self-congratulatory production, self-enchanting marketing, suicidal PR, you are worthy of it, Huaying."
"Am I the only one who discovered the collaboration between Huaying and Lux? I'm so angry. The placement has been agreed upon, but you still can't afford to buy the ads? If you really can't, you can ask a few up-loaders to help promote it."
No wonder fans are nervous and worried.
After "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" broke the box office record, it is no exaggeration to say that today's Huaying Animation is far more than just the focus of the animation circle - in other words, when Huaying Animation's works firmly occupy the top position in the historical box office list, Huaying's next work naturally becomes the focus of everyone's attention.
Is the success of Harry Potter inevitable or accidental? Will the next work of Huaying Animation be able to show the style that Huaying should have
After Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, will Picasso, which has made historical progress at the global box office, stop there and run out of ideas, or will it always maintain its usual high quality and continue its original glory
God knows how many people outside are hoping that Huaying will fail. Their fans are extremely worried about this, fearing that Huaying will make a mistake and the honors they have worked so hard to win over the years will be brought back to square one. What is the result? Huaying himself is still as if nothing happened. It's rare that he is so careless in advertising!
Although they were angry, the fans still honestly advertised for Huaying. Those who could make videos made videos, and those who couldn't write some plot speculations, popularized the rules of tennis, etc. For a while, it actually attracted a lot of passers-by fans.
Time flies and it is already May.
Lux, a company that signed a cooperation contract with Huaying and is responsible for producing the same tennis balls, tennis rackets, and sportswear as "The Prince of Tennis," began to count its already produced product inventory one by one.
Several film and television companies that lost to Huaying in the box office war before the New Year have also begun to pay attention to animation channels that they had never paid attention to in the past.
Under such public attention, no one would have thought that Mu Xuxing, who should have been under the most pressure and nervous, had already begun secretly thinking about the location of the school.
that's all-
On May 15th, at 8 o'clock in the evening, "The Prince of Tennis" was officially launched on Xingning Children's TV Station.
