This topic ended with Mu Suxing's repeated assurances that there would definitely not be a next episode.
Most of the time, Qin Sheng looked like a gentle, good man. Although he was nearly ten years older than Muxuxing, he was always negotiable and never overly forceful or overstepping the line. Now that Muxuxing had admitted his mistake, he didn't continue to dwell on the topic.
But Mu Suxing knew in his heart that this matter was not over yet - when Qin Sheng caught him red-handed again one day, it would not be as simple as today.
For this reason, Muxuxing decided to change his minimum sleeping time to 1am. It wasn't because he was really afraid of being scolded. First of all, staying up late for a long time would cause adverse harm to his health. As for the other reason...
He stole a glance at the man opposite him.
Although he is engaged in game production, a profession that seems to be exclusive to otakus to outsiders, Qin Sheng does not look weak at all, just like living in a small office. On the contrary, he is tall and strong, and his whole body exudes the natural calmness and clarity that comes from a long-term regular schedule and regular exercise.
Perhaps the longer one is in society, the more one can feel how precious this kind of care without any purpose is. Besides, Mu Suxing knows very well that there is no point in fooling Qin Sheng with this - after all, one's body is one's own business.
Lunch was spent in simple conversation.
During the conversation, Qin Sheng asked about his recent situation. Mu Suxing recalled his almost forgotten memories of his past life and reluctantly picked out a few points to talk about. He looked very well-behaved and obedient, like a student in front of his head teacher.
After dinner, it was almost seven or eight o'clock. Muxuxing slowed down and finished the dessert on the plate while thinking about the next plan -
He will definitely not give up the school's original animation support plan this time.
Many people thought that the so-called support from the school was only 100,000 faith points, but Mu Suxing, who had memories of his previous life, knew that it was far more than that. In order to cooperate with the government's support policy for animation, to gain enough favorability in front of the relevant departments, and to follow the trend of the times so as to recruit more new students next year, Xingning Art University invested a lot of money in this support plan.
In addition to 100,000 credit points, the school will also provide the corresponding equipment and venues. Considering the tedious and complicated process of animation production, the school will also encourage students majoring in animation to participate in it in the form of innovative practice credits. In the middle of the animation production, the school even invited well-known animation producers in the industry to come and provide guidance.
For Mu Suxing, who holds the original shares of Tengkong Entertainment, 100,000 credit points is only a small number. The key point is the invisible benefits that the school has not clearly stated: animation production materials, tools, venues, manpower, and the invisible connections represented by well-known animation producers!
These are far more important than the simple and crude production amount.
only…
Perhaps considering the specific time for the implementation of government policies, the official launch time of this plan at Xingning University of the Arts is also at the end of the year. In other words, he can only officially start trying animation production at the end of the year.
But opportunity waits for no one.
Although the government has not issued a clear notice yet, many people in the industry have already heard about it. In addition, the animation production cycle itself is long, so many people have already started preparing for the new policy at the end of the year.
Thinking of this, Mu Suxing also became a little distressed.
Compared with these people, he is just a student now. It can be said that he has no connections, no team, and no works. He really has no advantages.
While he was thinking, he had just put the last piece of cake into his mouth when Qin Sheng, who was standing opposite him, handed a piece of newspaper to him.
"… What's wrong?" Mu Suxing took the newspaper and glanced at it casually. When his eyes fell on one of the small sections, his eyes lit up slightly.
The headlines in the newspapers were extremely simple, and even the kind that Muxuxing would not pay attention to at all -
The title reads "Xingning City Metro Line is Fully Completed". After simply congratulating Xingning City on the completion of the construction of the Metro Line, the text, on behalf of the Xingning Municipal Government Propaganda Department, launched an invitation to the entire Xingning City to collect short video works. Once selected, the works will be played on television in the subway and subway stations in the following year.
Yes, how could he forget this!
Since it is a short video, it means that whether it is a live-action video or a short animation, it meets the standards. What's more, its broadcast location is a subway station which is a public place!
For Mu Xiuxing, who is just starting out in this life, what he needs most at this moment is a substantial representative work, so that when he is looking for investors, suitable CVs, original artists, storyboard artists and other partners in the future, he will not be unable to produce convincing works.
Ding, the side quest is now released.
Side quest: As a newcomer in the animation industry, you now need to create an outstanding short animation as your masterpiece to officially open the door to the industry.
Mission objective: Make a short animation and successfully board the Xingning City subway station.
Mission reward: 1,000 achievement points.
Muxuxing completed this side quest quickly.
This mission is difficult and easy at the same time, but one thing that cannot be denied is that this is indeed the most suitable opportunity for him at the moment -
There are a total of seven subway lines within the entire transportation range of Xingning City. If every subway line plays exactly the same short video, it would obviously be a waste. For this reason, the relevant departments of Xingning City did not say that only one short video would be selected when announcing this solicitation activity.
In other words, there are a total of seven admission places for this recruitment activity.
Mu Suxing clearly remembered that in order to make the organizers give their best and not be careless about this solicitation activity, the superiors specially arranged seven persons in charge, each of whom was responsible for the screening of works for a subway line, so that the subordinates could do their best during the review.
Not only that…
Mu Xuxing turned his gaze back to the newspaper.
For this solicitation activity, the official final rewards are also very generous: anyone whose work is accepted will receive a bonus of 10,000 credit points after tax, will enjoy the title of Honorary Citizen of Xingning City for life, and will have the right to ride the subway for free for three years.
Apart from the bonus and free use of the subway, what Muxuxing is interested in is the title of honorary citizen.
This title seems useless, but it actually represents a certain degree of friendliness and favorability from the relevant departments of Xingning City. This favorability may not be very high, but it is very likely to become an unexpected help to Muxuxing at certain critical moments.
Thinking of this, Muxuxing's fingertips unconsciously stroked the paper, and his black and white eyes became brighter and brighter.
If he can seize this opportunity, he will definitely be able to lay a good foundation for his next plans. With this stepping stone, even if he wants to try feature-length animation production next time, everything will go much more smoothly!
The young man lowered his eyes slightly, as if in deep thought. The bright sunlight outside the window fell on him, bringing an indescribable warmth. Perhaps he was thinking of something, his already clear eyes now had a faint luster like the morning star, and his whole person showed a vigorous vitality like the rising sun.
Taking in the boy's reaction, Qin Sheng recalled the fabricated rumors about Xingning University of the Arts that had caused the boy to become depressed. He curled the corners of his lips and smiled slightly.
