The first person to feel that Chu Shun was not joking was the employee of the second building block animation company.

Since the meeting a few days ago, the employees have known about the change of boss, but the employees are still a little apprehensive in their hearts, not worried about how the boss who does not know how to come and how the company will develop, it is too long-term.

The very straightforward new boss did not release a statement on the existing salary, whether to maintain, or to raise or reduce, and he felt very hung in his heart.

Today is the new work project meeting, and the large conference room is full.

As a relatively large animation company in China, there are two groups A and B, most of the time one group is outsourced, and one group produces its own animation, and the company needs to operate just right.

There is a more interesting phenomenon, many investors in Huaxia who have just stepped into this industry go to the island country is an animation company to do original painting and animation, they feel that the domestic technology is not enough, and then the island country's animation company changes hands and outsources to Huaxia animation company.

After the investor gets the finished product, it is estimated that he will sigh two sentences: "Not bad, it is more refined than the domestic ......"

This time, both Groups A and B are there.

Presiding over the planning meeting was the company's director Mao Dian, who said: "I believe you have also read the script layout of "Tokyo Godfather" in the past few days, so let me talk about the art design, character design, color design, and item design of this animation, which are the prerequisites ......."

The people below listened with their ears pricked up, and they were about to explain the task.

Mao Dian said: "We don't need us, Mr. Chu will complete all the prerequisites by himself." ”

As soon as these words came out, almost all the animators and original artists listening below had similar expressions, first confused, and then even more confused, as if they had heard something that violated human ethics and common sense.

"I'll go directly to the information, this is the character design of the animation Mei Yuki sent by Chu Dao. "Mao Dian understands the group of people under him very well, because he received a call from Chu Shun the day before yesterday, and his reaction was not much better than that of everyone else.

After turning off the lights, Miyuki's character appeared on the big screen in front of the conference room, and as I said before, the "character design" is a stick figure of the character, but it's not just a face.

It also includes sideways, running, squatting, special movements, etc., and only the expression should also have a series of sadness, happiness, sighs, etc., the clearer the original painting, the better it is to imitate.

After the imitation of the original painting, the animator makes the character "move", and no matter which step of the character design, original painting, and animation is flawed, the final effect will be problematic, whether it is the collapse of the face, or the exaggerated proportion of head and feet.

Miyuki's character design is very perfect, joy, anger, sorrow, sorrow, sorrow, panic, walking, standing, crouching, running, lying and jumping, everything, the original artist feels that happiness came too suddenly.

"Characters, as well as art and clothing, all have them. Mao Dian played.

Miyuki's clothes are off-white on the inside, and because they are old and close to a pale yellow knit sweater, and a matte red coat that is obviously much wider on the outside, it is very ill-fitting, and the dark pants are tied with white warmth.

It's very complete, the role of a homeless little girl jumps on the screen, the small details also include the green scarf around the neck, two hats on the head, a beanie hat on the inside, and a wide-brimmed felt hat on the outside, and the uniform dress can show that the winter in Tokyo is very cold, and the homeless should be as warm as possible.

"Isn't the character and clothing too clear? Er Liang couldn't help muttering.

Not only that, Mao Dian also continued to play concept art, which is also a kind of atmosphere map, basically supervising the imagination of the main tone of the whole film, such as what a certain picture looks like, Miyazaki likes to draw concept art very much.

The concept map has a concept map of Miyuki, Ah Hua, and Jin discovering an abandoned baby, and this picture is obviously the composition of "Three Wise Men Come to the Dynasty".

There are more than 50 current concept drawings, including Miyuki's character design, art design drawings, and some later back designs.

The back design is a background design drawing, which belongs to the pre-production in the production of animation, and Makoto Shinkai's back design is a mess.

Anyway, Chu Shun, who was a film critic in his previous life, sprayed Makoto Shinkai a lot, but he also had to admit that the back setting was really beautiful.

But the back design also includes composition, color, and symbolism, and on the whole, Osamu Tezuka is really strong.

Shinjuku Central Park, Akabane Bridge, Coikatsu Bridge, Tokyo Tower and other places painted by Chu Shun will definitely feel familiar if Miura Moyu sees it.

There are more than 230 pictures on display this time, and the expressions of the painters present at this time are all the same: Where did Chu Shun come from?

After a few seconds, there was a commotion in the room.

"Before, I had a big question, what Chu Shun came to shoot animated movies for, and his profession was not right - I'm sorry I'm not professional. ”

"It was all painted by the Liver Emperor alone, how long did it take to start painting?"

"I must have gone to Tokyo to start painting, and before Chu Shun was still lecturing in Chinese opera, that is, for a maximum of two weeks. ”

"I want to ask for a tentacle of the same style as a big guy, I always thought that Director Chu had a person on the liver, but now I know that I was wrong, this thing is an octopus. ”

Erliang didn't speak, he felt that he had learned in vain, he studied at the School of Software of Tianjin University, he was an animation major, and it was quite good, but he couldn't do Chu Shun's drawing speed at all.

You must know that although the character design is simple, it is also a little difficult, and the background picture and clothing design, concept map is difficult to draw, and it is incredible to complete more than 200 pictures in half a month.

As a good friend, at least Zhao Xi considers himself a good friend, he understands Erliang's thoughts, so he comforted in a low voice: "Don't compare yourself with Chu Shun, you are disrespectful to yourself, do you imagine what Chu Shun does is what people do?"

Erliang suddenly realized, and thought of the previous interview with Lao Liang, the counselor of the crew, and couldn't help nodding, it is true that no one will do these things.

"I just didn't expect Director Chu's drawings and such an understanding of the animation industry. "Erliang's mentality is leveled.

"If you draw a picture, in fact, the Liver Emperor has always been very strong. Zhao Xi flipped through it on his mobile phone, and then turned to a paper by Professor Zhao Liang.

"There are more than 30 storyboards about "Kill Bill" in this paper, and it is said that they are only a part. Zhao Xi said: "If you look at making a movie, the Liver Emperor can draw so many storyboards." ”

Judging from the storyboard of "Kill Bill", the drawing skills are quite solid.

"Then I don't have much more to say. "Erliang Dao, since Chu Shun has not been a person since the second work, what else is there to say?

In the domestic entertainment industry, because the news of Chu Shun's new film does not stop, whether it is the media, film practitioners or audiences.

It is very appropriate to use a sentence of dog head sigh to describe "There are two kinds of big guys in the real circle, the first is the person who can subvert the industry with all his might, and the other is that any piece of news can make the industry cough, and Director Chu is obviously the second."

You must know that many island people who can speak Chinese work in China, and they also play Weibo, so this news was posted on Japanese Twitter, and it also set off a lot of movement.

Not long after, Chu Shun, who was at the Aman Hotel in Tokyo, had his mobile phone ringing.

"Good afternoon Chu Jun. ”

"Good afternoon, Mr. Sakamoto.

"Did you sleep well yesterday?"

"It's good, I don't pick a bed. ”

"I heard that Chu Jun is going to shoot an animated film with the theme of Tokyo?" After a short greeting, he asked the key, although Sakamoto had received the news on the Internet, he still wanted to hear Chu Shun admit it himself.

"That's right, the tentative title is "Tokyo Godfather", a very heartwarming story. Chu Shun, who answered the phone, rubbed the corners of his eyes, and got up to stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Chu Shun, who lived on the 27th floor, had a bird's-eye view of the entire imperial palace.

The Imperial Palace is the residence of the Emperor of the island nation, and only a small part of it is open for visitors to enter, and now the Emperor and Empress live in it.

"I heard Chu Jun playing in the streets of Tokyo in a car, but I didn't expect Chu Jun to really have inspiration. "Mr. Sakamoto feels that his efforts have not been in vain, and although he is not "The Godfather of Fukuoka", he is also very good.

"Chu Jun needs help, people in animation, I know a lot of people, such as soundtracks. Section Chief Sakamoto asked enthusiastically.

As the deputy editor-in-chief of the "Shun Pao", Section Chief Sakamoto must know a lot of people.

"No, I write my own soundtracks. Chu Shun replied: "I feel that Ode to Joy is very good." ”

"Ode to Joy, is it the fourth chapter of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony?" asked Sakamoto after a moment's thought.

Chu Shun nodded: "That's right." ”

Section Chief Sakamoto paused for two or three seconds on the other side of the phone, and then said, "Chu Jun's shooting ideas are really very few people who can keep up. ”

"Chu Jun called me for something. Sakamoto said.

"After entering the late stage, Mr. Sakamoto was needed for the dubbing and theme song singing. Chu Shun also knows how to find relationships, and he is not familiar with the Japanese animation circle.

"It's an honor to be able to help. Section Chief Sakamoto replied, and then said very consciously: "Then don't disturb Chu Jun." ”

Hanging up the phone over there, Chu Shun looked out the window for a while, and then began to continue fighting.

Halfway through, Chu Shun took the time to go to Arima to soak in the hot springs, because he was a little tired.

As one of the three major hot springs in the island country, Arima Onsen is really comfortable, but unfortunately Arima is not very convenient.

In China, the employees of the second block are a little confused.

"Isn't Director Chu's painting style a little strange......" Animator Er Liang said to Zhao Xi next to him, and wanted to give his opinion several times, but he couldn't say it, Jin and Mei Yuki are okay, Ah Hua really feels so hideous, the key is that Ah Hua is basically the same.

First of all, the name "Tokyo Godfather", many people will not click on it, and secondly, when you click in to see the style of painting, there are a lot of people who give up.

Zhao Xi said: "Don't be surprised, Director Chu Shun must have his own arrangements." ”

In fact, the island country manga said that it had a huge influence all over the world, such as Dragon Ball and Doraemon, but in the previous life, the earth was average at the box office in the United States, and its influence is declining year by year.

"Tokyo Godfather" grossed $120,000 at the box office, and ranked 24th on the all-time list, while the first and second runners-up were Pokemon, with more than $80 million and more than $40 million.

But the popularity of Pokemon was accumulated in the eighties and nineties with games.

In the island country, the box office of "Tokyo Godfather" can only be said to be profitable, but it did not enter the top 20 of the year, largely because of the painting style.

Chu Shun knew that the character painting style was not good, and even sometimes the character was emotional, but ...... If you look ordinary, even ugly, can't you be a good person?

It is even said that how many real homeless people are good-looking, anyway, Chu Shun only knows a sharp brother who is idle and has nothing to do with the media.

The choice is a performance shown by the director first, and the audience's choice not to watch it is also a choice, and there is nothing wrong with either.

Chu Shun felt that there was no problem.
