Muxuxing’s idea is actually very simple.
He was not good at persuading others, and his eloquence was only average. In the early days, it was difficult for him to handle business negotiations. Now that Huaying Animation is on the right track, all these tasks have been handed over to special people. If he really had to persuade a group of old artists who were three times his age, not to mention Qin Sheng, Mu Xuxing himself would not be sure.
He was indeed confident enough in his plan, but the power of language was weak after all. Mu Xuxing did not think that he could get those old seniors to join in with just a few words.
But it doesn't matter.
If you can't express it with words, prove it with actions.
Thinking of this, Mu Suxing no longer hesitated. He was a man who did whatever he thought of. He drank the milk in the cup quickly and neatly. He stood up and walked towards the study room, saying, "I think I have some ideas. I'll think about it now. Good night, Brother Sheng!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the study was opened by him, and then closed with a click the next second.
Qin Sheng laughed.
As a workaholic, he was used to Mu Suxing's behavior. Seeing him go into the study without looking back, he knew that he would not come out until he had figured out something. He did not mean to disturb him at the moment, so he put away the cups on the coffee table and went back to his room to deal with his work.
At the same time, in the study.
Mu Suxing looked a bit anxious when he was in the living room, but now that he was back in the study, he was not in a hurry. He did not immediately go to the desk to think, but stood in front of two rows of solid wood bookcases.
He walked slowly between the bookshelves filled with information books, and occasionally his eyes would fall on one of the books, but his gaze was so empty that it didn't seem like he was reading, but rather thinking about something.
The system asked: Are you going to make an animation to convince them
Mu Suxing did not answer this question immediately.
Because he was concentrating on thinking, his brain was somewhat empty at the moment. Even when he heard the system's question, he did not immediately try to understand the meaning of the words. Instead, he was distracted and thought: the frequency of the system's appearance during this period seemed to be much higher than before.
It’s not that he thinks the system talks too much, but since his rebirth, the system has rarely interrupted him to say anything except in the early days when he was gradually getting better at drawing shadows.
Recently, I feel like I'm back to the initial stage.
Mu Suxing thought about it but didn't say it out loud. After all, this was not the topic they were discussing at the moment, nor was it a point worth exploring in depth. Therefore, Mu Suxing quickly collected his thoughts and replied seriously, "Yes, but not completely."
As he spoke, he pulled out a chair and sat down next to the desk.
For Mu Xuxing, the process of explaining to the system is actually the process of sorting out his own thoughts.
At this moment, he was thinking and said, "If I want to convince these seniors, I think the most important thing should be to show my sincerity and the feasibility of running a school."
Of course, he could repeat what he said to Qin Sheng that day, but that actually didn't make any sense. This industry was not short of idealists, nor was it short of idealists who had to bow their heads to reality. Some words sounded good, but in the eyes of the older generation, they were nothing more than the youthful ambitions of young people and should not be taken seriously.
Instead of talking about life ideals in a dry way, it is better to express his ideas through animation.
The system understood: So, you plan to make an animation to express your sincerity, and then demonstrate the feasibility of your plan through specific trial lecture content
"I am indeed planning to make an animation, but I won't be doing it alone," Mu Suxing pondered, "For me, this animation is very special. If possible, I would actually prefer to work with other animators to complete it."
"As for the trial lecture..." Perhaps because he had a plan in mind, Mu Xuxing was not as stressed as before when talking about the trial lecture: "It's too unrealistic to expect a trial lecture to change the older generation's ideas. After all, running a school is a long-term goal, and the trial lecture is just a beginning. It's enough to leave a good impression in their minds."
Since it is a long-term goal, there is of course a gradual process. For something like running a school, rushing for success will only backfire, so it is better to be down-to-earth and take it step by step.
…
Is this what you mean by taking your time
The next day, in an office in the Huaying Office Building, the system took a look at Li Lianggong's expression, which was definitely not good at the moment, and after thinking for a while, it couldn't help but ask: You really didn't deliberately put the school plan on the table for him to see
As the work on "The Prince of Tennis" came to an end, the project team of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", which was originally scheduled to be released during the Lunar New Year holiday next year, also officially announced the start of work.
Unlike the first Harry Potter film, in the sequel, Mu Suxing only served as the animation director, and the position of chief director was given to his own mentor after much persuasion. After all, the directors within the company were too young, and the Harry Potter series was too important, so Mu Suxing was not very confident in handing it over to others.
Li Lianggong came to Muxuxing's office to look for someone because of the Harry Potter project team.
When he came over, Mu Suxing happened to be having a meeting in the comics department next door. As there was still some time before the meeting ended, Mu Suxing did not want to make his mentor wait any longer, so he asked Li Lianggong to go in and sit down, and he would be there soon.
For no reason, Li Lianggong certainly wouldn't be so idle as to look through Muxuxing's documents without any discretion. However, the school plan was too obvious. It could be said that it was placed directly on the table in a careless manner, as if he was afraid that the visitor would not see it.
Li Lianggong had not originally planned to read Muxuxing's stuff, but the word "running a school" on the cover was too fanciful, and he couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to. In the end, he couldn't help but casually opened it and took a look.
This is how the scene at the beginning came about.
Li Lianggong's face was not looking good at the moment. He looked at Mu Suxing and said, "You did it on purpose." This was a statement.
He thought Muxuxing would try to hide something, but he admitted it frankly: "Yes."
He seemed so confident that Li Lianggong didn't know what to say. Seeing the young man looking at him with a clear and honest look, Li Lianggong couldn't help but ask, "No, do you think Huaying is not challenging enough for you, or do you think life is not challenging enough so you find some challenges for yourself? Do you know what these two words mean?"
As he spoke, he was ready to listen to a bunch of twisted theories from the other party, but Muxuxing said, "So this is just a plan."
…are you giving up just like that
Li Lianggong looked up in doubt. After all, he had taught Mu Suxing for four years. He thought he knew this student's personality quite well. He seemed to be a man of his words, but in fact, he would carry out every plan he wrote to the end unswervingly, no matter how unrealistic and incredible it seemed to many people at the time.
Would such a bastard who doesn't even know how to write the word "retreat" give up easily just because he criticized him
Li Lianggong didn't believe it.
The suspicion in his expression was too obvious, and Muxuxing couldn't pretend not to see it. He laughed a little, but still said seriously: "I know that what I say now is just a momentary impulse of a young man to you, so I don't have much to explain - if I really have that awareness and the ability to turn it into reality, you will see it step by step."
"Real actions speak louder than any words, don't they?"
Li Lianggong looked up at him.
The young man's eyes were calm and bright. Li Lianggong wanted to refute him, but he couldn't say anything and just felt a headache.
If Muxuxing really spoke a long and eloquent speech, it would be nothing. What young people are not full of youthful vigor and vitality? When they talk about their ideals, it seems that their whole body is glowing. But that is meaningless. Idealism without worldly experience will only be just idealism in the end.
But Muxuxing said nothing.
He did not talk about why he did this, nor did he intend to give any explanation for his behavior, but it was precisely this kind of reaction that was the most terrifying.
This means that he has a plan and is ready to implement it immediately, rather than just staying in theory. In this case, nothing he says will be of any use.
Li Lianggong thought about the trial lecture he had prepared these days, and what he said yesterday about wanting to invite him and a few senior colleagues to attend and if possible, give some pointers. Is there anything else he doesn't understand
What university trial lectures are waiting for you
As if seeing his annoyance, Mu Suxing blinked and added seriously: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. If my trial lecture fails, the school will naturally come to nothing. There is no need to get angry about this."
"Nonsense!" Li Lianggong scolded, "What do you mean by screwed up? This is your first trial lecture, in front of more than a hundred students and many veteran artists. Do you know how to speak?"
Thinking of this, he didn't bother to delve into the matter of running a school. Anyway, he couldn't persuade Mu Suxing, and he was too lazy to persuade him. If he wanted to do it, let him do it. Just like Mu Suxing himself said, when he hits a wall, he will naturally turn back.
But before that—
"How are your lesson preparations going?" Li Lianggong said. He was somewhat worried and couldn't help but pace around the office. The three words "messed up" that Mu Suxing had just said seemed to have an echo and were still lingering in his mind.
"No, show me your lesson plan and I'll go over it for you again."
... He just said that if the trial lecture went wrong, the plan to run a school would naturally come to nothing, right
Mu Suxing raised an eyebrow, but did not expose his professor's duplicity. Instead, he cooperated and handed over the lesson plan: "It's all here."
Li Lianggong quickly went over the lesson plan.
After confirming that this teaching plan was not only flawless but also quite brilliant, he finally relaxed his frown: "It's OK, not too embarrassing. Just follow this teaching plan when the time comes, there will be no problem." He thought about it, and seemed to be worried, and immediately added: "If there are any old men among those old men I brought who really doubt you, you don't have to take it to heart. It's normal for old guys to not keep up with the times when they are old."
Muxiuxing:
He was a senior before, how come he is now an old guy who can't keep up with the times
