"Warmth heals? Are you sure it doesn't cause depression?"
"I was not panicking at first, but after hearing what Xingxing said, I am now panicking. Can any of you provide me with the address of Huaying so I can calm down? Xingxing works so hard on animation, I want to visit him in person to express my condolences!"
"Everyone, go away, go away. Now that the bastard has said so, All Might is probably done for."
These are fans who see through the essence of things and remain unmoved.
The amazing thing is that among the comments under the Weibo post, there are actually quite a few people who stand on Mu Suxing's side. Considering Mu Suxing's past experience, these young people seem to be convinced by Mu Suxing's statement and agree with it one after another:
"I think there's nothing wrong with this statement. Is it that The Little Prince isn't healing enough, or that Love Is Magic isn't healing enough? Although My Hero Academia is a little sad at the beginning, the overall tone is very positive. It's fine to say that Star is taking a warm and healing route."
"Am I the only one who sincerely feels that Stars is warm and healing? When I first watched The Little Prince, I felt that anyone who could create such a scene must be a very gentle person. The same was true for the previous harem dismemberment manga. Maybe because I'm a girl, I think this ending is also very healing. The male protagonist's fate is entirely his own fault."
One of the innocent and lovely girls even vowed: "I will always support Xingxing!"
These fans would never have thought that the "gentle" Muxuxing they called would make several cruel and inhumane animations in the future, which would open the door to their new world and lead them to transform from cute newbies to cold old drivers...
Of course, this is all a story for later.
Right now.
Mu Suxing looked at the many people who tried to speak up for him under his Weibo and felt very relieved: "It seems that not everyone is so short-sighted."
Since his fans support him so much, how could he disappoint his fans
With that in mind, Mu Suxing pondered for a while, then happily pulled out the second plan separately: "Well... Let's wait until the market is full of magical girl-themed animations and fans are tired of this type of theme before taking out "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" to give them a brand new surprise!"
Nowadays, there aren’t many animation directors who consider the audience as much as he does, right
At 2:30 p.m., senior executives from various departments gathered in the Huaying Animation conference room.
The person in charge of distributing the animation plan of "Cardcaptor Sakura" is Makusuxing's assistant Du Yutang. The animation plan is divided into two versions, one is based on the main plot of "Cardcaptor Sakura", in addition to the overall style and main selling points of the animation; the other is a profit plan distributed to the department responsible for peripheral development.
Several screenwriters were concentrating on the animation script part of the project.
Ruan Wei, who is in charge of derivative product development, tapped the paper rhythmically with her fingertips, a thoughtful look on her face.
"marvelous!"
The sudden voice immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the conference room. Seeing that almost everyone's eyes were on him, the young screenwriter woke up from his dream and hurriedly stood up and bowed to apologize: "I'm sorry, this comic script is too good, I couldn't help it..."
Mu Suxing waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "The plan was originally brought out for discussion. If you have any ideas, you can also say them now and we can discuss them together."
"I also think this comic script is excellent," another animation screenwriter took over the conversation, she commented: "The plot is simple and clear, and it creates a very pure and gentle world. It couldn't be more suitable as a TV animation—"
“Although it is for children, it actually teaches us a lot of things subtly. The plot is not childish at all. It is not only for the younger market, I believe that even the former fans of Huaying will be attracted by this animation!”
“I feel like everyone in the animation is so kind!”
"I like this heroine, she's very cute, she can put herself in her father's shoes and not shirk her responsibilities. If it's made into an animation, it will have a subtle educational influence on children, I think it's great!"
For a while, the discussion about "Cardcaptor Sakura" was endless in the conference room.
Obviously, everyone is looking forward to "Cardcaptor Sakura".
"The plot of this animation is relatively simple, but I believe you can see that the relationships between the characters are actually a bit complicated," Mu Suxing said, and several employees below smiled knowingly: "How to simplify the relationships between the characters while ensuring that the progress of each episode is simple and easy to understand? This is the focus of your script team's next work."
…
With the successful approval of the animation project of "Cardcaptor Sakura", "The Gift of the Magi" was basically completed. After sending the final product to Professor Li, Mu Suxing returned to the script group of Huaying Animation with the original manga of "Cardcaptor Sakura".
Just as Mu Suxing said in the conference room, the main plot of this comic is actually very simple. It tells the story of the heroine Sakura Kinomoto recovering the Clow Cards one by one.
In comparison, the emotional line of the story appears a little complicated. How to ensure the overall quality and excitement of the animation without causing obstacles to the audience's understanding is the top priority that needs to be solved in the text script stage.
In addition, there is the problem of production speed.
Unlike online animations that air one episode per week, TV animations are broadcast once a day, and some even have two episodes a day. Not only that, because animations need to pass assessments from relevant departments before officially appearing on TV stations, "Cardcaptor Sakura" cannot be produced and broadcast at the same time as "My Hero Academia".
As a result, the company's overall progress was delayed.
He originally planned to start working on Puella Magi Madoka Magica during the broadcast of Cardcaptor Sakura, but in order to maximize the final effect of the animation, Makusuki decided to postpone the release of Puella Magi Madoka Magica. So during this period, he had to consider producing another animation.
What should I do
While Mu Suxing was looking for a suitable animation script during his free time, Li Lianggong also received a video attachment titled "The Gift of the Magi" in his mailbox in the professor's office at Xingning University of the Arts.
"The level of this year's graduates is still not good enough," Ji Xinrong shook his head in disappointment. "The scripts are passable, but the performances are either too monotonous or lack innovation. There are a few who seem to have good skills, but unfortunately their minds are full of showmanship, and the plot is as empty as their brains—"
Professor Li smiled gently.
They all say that he is the most demanding professor in the animation department of Xingning University of the Arts, but if Li Lianggong is to be honest, his old friend is really demanding and stubborn. Hearing his blunt comments, Li Lianggong just smiled and said, "For animation producers of this age, they have actually done quite well."
Ji Xinrong blew his beard and glared: "With this level, you can call it good? In my opinion, it's not as good as that..." He opened his mouth and almost blurted out a name, but when it was about to come to his lips, he suddenly reacted and stopped talking. He could only snort vaguely and said nothing.
There was no change on Li Lianggong's face, but he felt a little funny in his heart.
He also knew about the things between Ji Xinrong and Mu Suxing. It can only be said that Ji Xinrong is used to being strong and is too stubborn. He has always looked down on those animations that cater to the market and have exaggerated styles. Naturally, he also looks down on Mu Suxing, the director.
His disdain for "is" is genuine, and his love for "The Little Prince" is also from the heart.
Li Lianggong knew this very well, but he did not point it out - according to his old friend's character, if he really said it out loud, Ji Xinrong would be afraid of trouble and would immediately turn around and leave.
He shook his head and turned his gaze to the next animation attachment in his mailbox.
"The Gift of the Magi" - Pleiades.
Ji Xinrong certainly did not miss this work from an "acquaintance".
Li Lianggong's mouse was already on the video. It hadn't even started playing yet, but Ji Xinrong had already started adding to his own story: "After making so many commercial animations in succession, I want to see how far he has regressed now." While he was speaking, he glanced at his friend, as if explaining why he was staying here and refusing to move on.
Li Lianggong: …
Li Lianggong was too lazy to pay attention to him. "The Gift of the Magi" had already started playing on the computer. Ji Xinrong's attention was immediately attracted by the short animation in front of him, and he subconsciously immersed himself in it.
The total duration of the entire video is no more than five minutes.
Five minutes later, the video ended and suddenly fell into darkness. Li Lianggong looked at the animation in front of him, but what emerged in his mind was the scene he had just seen. He was still a little unsatisfied. On the other side, Ji Xinrong suddenly reached out his hand and clicked the mouse on the video. The originally dark screen was once again replaced by the beginning of "The Gift of the Magi".
once.
Five times.
Ten times.
Ji Xinrong's eyes were fixed on the computer screen in front of him. There was no expression on his face. He seemed to be possessed. He watched "The Gift of the Magi" over and over again ten times.
He didn't speak.
Neither did Li Lianggong.
When he first mentioned the participation in the competition to Mu Suxing, he was actually just saying it casually. After all, the Eleanor Best Animated Short Film Award is not some fake award. No matter how talented Mu Suxing is, the one-month deadline is still there. How can he compete with other animation producers who have been preparing for years
But…
Li Lianggong took a deep breath and looked back at the animation in front of him. Even though he was usually calm, his heart couldn't help but beat wildly at this moment.
Winning an award may be unlikely, but judging by the quality of this animated short, perhaps it can at least get a nomination
As the animation on the computer screen ended for the twelfth time, Ji Xinrong snorted coldly, his face looking as sour as if someone owed him millions: "You are self-degrading!" After saying this, he turned around and left.
One minute later.
Ji Xinrong pushed the door open again and walked in aggressively, saying vaguely, "Send me a copy of the video."
Li Lianggong: “?”
Ji Xinrong remained calm and said, "Twelve times is not enough. I need to go back and watch it a few more times so that I can better analyze where he has regressed."
The author has something to say: I haven't felt well all day today. My brain seems to have lost the ability to think. I haven't been able to write for a long time.
I will adjust it and will resume updating at normal time starting tomorrow =3=
