The animation plan of "My Hero Academia" was soon officially approved at a meeting, but the real trouble had just begun.
The first thing to be addressed is the issue of establishing an animation production team.
"… Jian Mingzhi is also in the production team of "is" next door?" Mu Suxing held his forehead with one hand, and suddenly felt a headache. He waved his hand: "Forget it, just tell me directly how many people are available."
Du Yutang nodded. Without any information, the newly recruited assistant from Muxuxing immediately and clearly read out a long list of employees' names: "... These are the ones who can spare some time at the moment. The others are all in the production team of "IS" and may not be able to spare any time in the short term."
Mu Xuxing pressed his temple and suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.
There are still not enough people...
My Hero Academia is a long-running anime. Although he has only scheduled the first season, it is only a matter of time before he finishes the rest. Most importantly, he does not plan to finish the first season and then broadcast it, but will continue to produce it while it is being broadcasted. In other words, the number of people required for the production team will be two orders of magnitude greater than that of Is.
Mu Suxing quickly thought of Mu Xingxue.
Judging from the foundation of Huaying Animation's predecessor, Mu Xingxue may not be good at other things, but his vision and methods of recruiting people are quite good.
With the idea that it would be a waste if he didn't exploit her, Mu Suxing said without hesitation: "Go tell Mu Xingxue that I don't care what method he uses, whether it's recruiting people from the talent market or poaching people from other companies, I want to see the talent I want by the end of this month at the latest."
"Okay, Director Mu," Du Yutang opened his notebook and asked, "Are there any other specific requirements for recruiting people?"
Muxuxing pondered for a while.
Animation production teams are generally divided into two departments. One is the creative department, which is usually composed of the director, art director, technical director and department heads. The characters, props, backgrounds and color styles are all decided at this stage. The other is the production department, which is responsible for the formal animation production.
What has been giving him the most headache lately is the script adaptation of "My Hero Academia".
On the surface, with the original manga in hand, he should be able to quickly finish the text script and animation storyboard script for "My Hero Academia" - but in fact, the opposite is true. Revising a text is often more difficult than writing it.
"I need a few animation screenwriters." Mu Suxing said. The original comic was so long that it was a headache for him to organize it alone, not to mention making modifications to suit the Blue Star market. If he had a few animation screenwriters to discuss it together, the final script would be more in line with the market.
As for the rest…
"As for the production department, please hire as many background artists, original artists, animators, and the like as you can." Mu Suxing said, "That's all for now."
Du Yutang's right hand, which was writing on the notebook, paused. He was a little surprised, but he didn't ask anything. He simply nodded and wrote down Mu Suxing's request truthfully: "Okay." Then he turned around and went out to inform Mu Xingxue.
Mu Suxing nodded slightly, and was quite satisfied with the new assistant.
Now Huaying is on the right track and is no longer the small workshop that produced "IS". If everyone has questions and needs him to explain them clearly, then should he continue to make animations
Du Yutang is still very efficient in doing things—
In less than three minutes, Mu Xingxue called and said, "I can understand the animation scriptwriter, but if there are too many people in the production department, will it cause a waste of resources? The second season of "IS" will be over in half a month, and by then there will be a group of original artists and animators who will be idle. Are you sure you want as many people as you can recruit?"
Muxuxing: “Yes.”
In fact, he had this idea a long time ago.
Judging from the comics that can be animated provided in the system mall, a considerable number of comics, even if animated, will be super long series with extremely long serialization time, such as "Naruto" and "One Piece". Once they are produced, they will be serialized for at least ten years.
But as for Mu Suxing himself, it is impossible for him to spend ten years of his life to devote entirely to "Naruto" or "One Piece".
In this case, the best option is that Mu Suxing will be responsible for the early stages of super-long animations such as "Naruto" and the production of some core plots, and the rest will be left to others. During this time in between, he will also be able to free up his hands to produce other animations.
In this case, isn't it true that Huaying needs as many staff as possible
Mu Xingxue did not refute or question Mu Suxing's meaning - just as the two had agreed before, he would not interfere in any matters related to animation production, and would leave it entirely to Mu Suxing to decide.
Since Muxuxing insisted, Mu Xingxue took note of it. He continued to ask, "Is that all? What about the BGM? Do we need to ask a composer to be responsible for the soundtrack?"
Mu Xuxing thought about it and shook his head.
"No, I have other plans for the background music, so you don't have to worry about it. The most urgent thing now is to find an animation screenwriter. I will solve the problem of the soundtrack."
"OK."
For "My Hero Academia", after much deliberation, Makusuki decided to use the soundtrack of the original animation.
Although it will consume more achievement points, if you find another composer to compose the music, it will be a question whether it will be compatible with "My Hero Academia" at that time. In comparison, it is better to directly use the original version.
The achievement points required for the full soundtrack of "My Hero Academia" are 500. Would the host like to redeem them
"yes."
The full soundtrack of "My Hero Academia" has been redeemed, please check it out.
Needless to say, 013 is very efficient. Mu Suxing heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the music that showed successful purchase in the system mall - at least this way, he wouldn't have to worry about the music issue anymore.
As for the language issues of the theme song, interlude and ending song, we cannot help but mention the differences and similarities between Blue Star and the alternate dimension.
Unlike the unified Blue Planet, the Earth in the other dimension is a planet with many countries. Although one is unified and the other is independent, they are essentially the same.
Simply put, for the alien Earth, the Island Country, the Chinese Country, and the Eagle Country are separate countries, but on the Blue Star, these countries are just one of the many provinces of the Blue Star. This is why the audience of the Blue Star will not feel strange about the naming style of the characters in "IS", because this naming style is part of the Blue Star.
The same is true with language.
On Blue Star, the language of the island country is equivalent to the dialect of its corresponding region. For this reason, Muxu Star can completely use the original songs without translating them into the common language of Blue Star. As long as the language used in the animation itself is the common language of Blue Star, there is actually no special regulation on the language of the song.
Host, regarding the use of music...
"I know," Muxuxing nodded in understanding before 013 explained, "The opening of an animation must indicate the original composer, lyricist, and singer, right?"
In fact, from "The Little Prince" to "IS", every animation produced by Huaying will have the original work marked at the very beginning of the opening song. Even Huaying's employees and the audience watching the animation can clearly see the markings on the animation. Many viewers will also comment on the original work. For example, many viewers have discussed the thickness of the skin of the author of the original light novel of "IS"...
But just like the system said—everyone knows who the original author is, and they will even happily discuss or complain about the original author, but because of the existence of the system, they will not get to the bottom of it.
Obviously, the soundtrack and the songs are similar in this respect.
After solving the problems with the soundtrack and songs, Mu Suxing turned his attention back to the word in front of him and continued to think about issues related to the adaptation of "My Hero Academia".
The office was quiet, with only the rhythmic sound of typing being heard.
Until Mu Suxing's cell phone suddenly rang.
If an employee of the company wanted to contact him, they would usually either tell Du Yutang and have the assistant notify him, or they would directly use the landline provided by the company. As for the calls to his cell phone at this time...
His eyes fell on the name that lit up on the phone screen, and Mu Suxing raised his eyebrows.
Oh, it’s an acquaintance.
"How are you, Director Mu?" As soon as the call was connected, a hearty laugh rang out from the other end, with obvious enthusiasm in the voice: "I wonder if Director Mu still remembers me?"
"Minister Xiao, you're joking," Mu Suxing smiled slightly, "Huaying's current success is not due to Minister Xiao's insight. I can't express my gratitude enough, how could I forget it?"
The person who called specially at this moment was none other than Xiao Zhengwen, who was responsible for the review of Yueqi Video and advocated buying the exclusive broadcasting authorization of "is".
In general, the initial cooperation between the two was relatively smooth. Although Yue Qi did not allocate too much recommendation space to "is" due to Huaying's identity as a small workshop, Xiao Zhengwen still completed the tasks within his duties quite well, and he also met all the requirements raised by Mu Suxing that could be met.
Mu Suxing had a good impression of Minister Xiao.
Xiao Zhengwen smiled but did not respond. He knew very well that his help to Huaying was just within his duty and was beyond reproach, but he did not receive any special treatment and had neither merit nor fault. Mu Suxing said this just out of courtesy, and if he took it seriously, he would be stupid.
This was not the first time the two had met, and they had a certain understanding of each other's temperament. At this moment, Xiao Zhengwen asked directly: "I heard that Huaying's new animation project has been decided?"
"That's right."
"In that case, Director Mu, when you are considering the broadcasting platform, if Yueqi Video offers the same conditions as other video websites, can you please give priority to our Yueqi Video?" Xiao Zhengwen added: "In addition, Yueqi Video will also vacate the best recommendation position and reserve it for Huaying."
Mu Suxing was a little surprised. He smiled and said, "Minister Xiao has so much confidence in us Huaying?"
"Yes, but no," he just asked casually, but Xiao Zhengwen's voice on the other end became more serious: "I have confidence in Huaying, but this confidence does not come from Huaying herself, but from you, Director Mu. I have confidence in you."
