Chapter 7 A Cat That Amazes the World
"What you say is not in line with the core concept of socialist values, it's not that I don't think my cat is cute enough, the story is very pessimistic, not suitable for teenagers, and there is no way to bring income to the animation company, a group of blood-sucking capitalists. After Liang Liang finished speaking, he scribbled on the drawing paper angrily, and wiped the original three-legged cat directly.
"Then you cater to the animation company and the school and draw this cat a little cute. Jiang Bei didn't care and comforted.
In fact, it is not surprising that schools and animation companies would think this way, because the audience of animation is originally a younger group, and children and women make up more of them.
Since it is for these two types of groups, the story and image should naturally be a little cute and distinctive, so that children can like it.
In addition, the animation also has a major feature, that is, it can derive some cartoon peripherals, such as figures, dolls, pillows, teacups, bracelets, blankets and so on.
You definitely can't print an ugly cartoon image on these things, or you'll feel out of place.
Although the cat painted by Liang Liang is different from ordinary, it still can't be called a 'specialty', so it is reasonable for the animation company to be dissatisfied.
"I want to draw cute, but cats are cats, no matter how cute they are, they will feel that they don't have any characteristics. Liang Liang shrugged and replied.
"Then what do you want me to help you?" Jiang Bei was a little puzzled.
Liang Liang smiled when he heard this, and said, "Brother, you are the most talented, can you help me find a way to make this cat a little special? ”
Wow everyone?
Jiang Bei touched his chin and fell into thought.
Seeing this, Liang Liang hurriedly came up to help pinch his shoulders, and began to pull the relationship: "Brother, you see that I have been by your side all these years to make suggestions, in order to make my sister-in-law quit the entertainment industry and work hard, this has no merit and hard work, how much should be worth helping;
There is a reason for that. Jiang Bei nodded.
Liang Liang looked surprised: "You agreed?"
"Let's try, I don't know if it's going to work. ”
Agreed, but he still didn't say anything to death, after all, this is the Azure Star, and taking a lot of things doesn't mean that he will definitely be able to succeed.
"Brother, your talent is as unfathomable as my gambling skills, it must be no problem. Where would Liang Liang think that his brother couldn't do it, so he hurriedly put the drawing paper away and handed over the pen and paper to urge: "Come on, come on, please start your performance." ”
"I'm not very good at drawing, you can paint, I'll give you a comparison. ”
"It's okay, I'm ready, brother, you can compare. ”
"Hmm...... You start by sketching a standing cartoon fat man, making sure that it looks round everywhere. ”
"Brother...... I'm drawing cats, what are you doing all fat out there?"
"This cat is just a fat man, you can just draw it. ”
"A cat is just a fat man?"
"Oh......"
Although he couldn't understand it, Liang Liang still did what his brother told him and started to create seriously.
Of course, it doesn't take a short time to draw a well-formed cartoon character, it takes a little time.
In the evening, Li Youqing also learned about painting cats after returning from Erjing Film and Television, but she was not very interested in this matter, because she had more important things to do.
"The company has agreed to endorse our hot pot brand, but the company will not help me formulate an endorsement plan, so everything needs to be done by ourselves. Li Youqing sat on the sofa and turned his pen to analyze.
It's a pity that no one cares.
Liang Liang draws cats in the study.
Jiangbei cooks in the kitchen.
She was the only one sitting in the living room thinking.
It's a bit lonely.
So she got up, took a little maza, went to the kitchen door, sat down, and recounted the problem.
Jiang Bei, who was carefully preparing dinner, replied casually when he heard this: "Then let's go find an advertising agency." ”
Erjing Film and Television agreed that Li Youqing's 'one yuan' endorsement of his own hot pot brand was decided by him, so he was not surprised after listening to it.
The reason for not letting Erjing Film and Television's team participate in helping is to be able to consume more of Li Youqing's time and continue to carry out marginalized tasks.
Li Youqing shook his head after hearing this, and said: "Asking an advertising company may not be able to achieve the effect I want, and we are now in the early stage of entrepreneurship, and a lot of money should be saved, so I plan to go into battle myself." ”
Personally in battle.
It's a good idea, it consumes more time and energy, and reduces dependence on the entertainment industry.
"What you say makes sense, I support you, just do it!"
"Then you can help me think of advertising words, after all, you are so talented. ”
Jiang Bei's hand holding the spatula was stunned for a moment, and he smiled bitterly.
Why did you end up coming to him when you went around and around?
But then again, as long as Xiao Nizi doesn't develop in the entertainment industry, she is still very willing to help with advice.
After all, the hot pot brand chain is the cause he is striving for in this world, and he should do his best, and he can't be ambiguous.
It's just that in this way, he can't be idle, in addition to helping Liang Liang draw a cat with characteristics, he also has to think about the advertising words of the hot pot brand, and he is busy with dizziness.
Fortunately, Liangliang's comprehension ability is good, and he finally drew this cat under the comparison of Jiangbei. And he also briefly talked about the basic information of the cat, so as to avoid being cool and not knowing how to explain it when explaining to the school and animation company.
For this cat that has just come out, Jiangbei himself is still relatively confident. After all, this was once a cat that was popular all over the world, and it was also a childhood memory for countless people.
Liang Liang also likes this cat, thinking that it will be able to satisfy the school leaders and the animation company.
"Brother, you are really the most talented person in the world, and like my gambling skills, you are alone and seek defeat. ”
Compliments are compliments, but they just sound a little wrong.
"It doesn't matter if you have talent or not, I just hope you don't get dissuaded and let us worry less. Jiang Bei instructed earnestly.
This sister who picked up from under the overpass is really heartbreaking.
"Don't worry, brother, I will not regret it after this time...... Phew, be a new person, try not to cause you trouble. ”
Liang Liang patted his chest and promised, and then returned to school with anticipation and confidence to hand over the leader to 'this cat'.
But she didn't expect that the effect of this cat was far more exaggerated than she imagined.
……
In the Office of the Leaders of Merrill Lynch University, Guo Cheng, the director of school affairs, is communicating with Kana Nozawa, the head of Jingdu Studio, about the original animation manuscript.
"Miss Nozawa, these are all carefully drawn by the students with their creative brains, so you can take a look. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Guo. Nozawa Kana politely thanked her and watched it carefully.
Seeing this, Guo Cheng smiled slightly, and sat back in his chair to deal with the school's affairs, while waiting for Nozawa Kana to finish reading the works handed in by the students.
The office was silent, except for the sound of flipping paper.
After about twenty minutes, Nozawa Kana stopped flipping through the paper, her face showing a little sadness.
"Miss Nozawa, don't you have any works that you are satisfied with?" Guo Cheng, who had been paying attention to this side, hurriedly asked.
Nozawa Coriander shook her head with a smile when she heard this, and replied, "Mr. Guo, there are no works in these manuscripts that make my eyes shine. ”
Guo Cheng felt half cold in his heart after hearing this, and he didn't care about his office, so he got up and walked to Nozawa Coriander and asked, "Miss Nozawa, why don't I let the students draw some more works and hand them in?"
The company behind Kana Nozawa is Kyoto Animation, a well-known animation company in the island country, and as a world-renowned animation company, it is very important for Merrishi University to establish a partnership with it.
Because once the cooperative relationship can be established, it is equivalent to adding an employment opportunity to the students of Merrill Lynch University.
If the students' works can be favored by Kyoto Animation, then it is equivalent to half a foot on the road to fame.
When the students become famous, the school must also be polished.
Therefore, the school leaders attached great importance to Kyoto Animation's visit to the school to find excellent works, and asked the students of Merrill Lynch University to work hard to draw works that satisfy Kyoto Animation.
However, the results did not seem to be satisfactory, and none of the works carefully prepared by thousands of students in a week satisfied Kyoto Animation.
What if you are not satisfied?
It must be that the students are not careful.
Again, it's no problem to specify.
Anyway, the cooperation must be achieved.
"Mr. Guo, the company is in a hurry, so we can't give any more time, I'm sorry. Nozawa said apologetically.
"Ah, is Nozawa going to give up the production of animation?" asked Guo Cheng in surprise.
Apparently, he was still trying to find an opportunity.
"Mr. Guo, you should know that we at Kyoto Animation also have a manga business, and the company has issued an order that if we can't find original anime characters with great characteristics, then we will consider animating manga works instead. ”
Animation of manga works is different from original animation, it has manga as the foundation, and it only needs to animate the plot of the manga characters, which is far less difficult than original animation.
Guo Cheng was about to speak after listening, but there was a knock on the door.
"Who?"
was busy when he was interrupted Guo Cheng naturally did not speak very well, frowning and saying in a deep voice.
'Squeak~'
The door was pushed open a small crack, and a small head poked out of it, and said with a grin: "Director, I'm here to deliver the manuscript." ”
Seeing this headache face, Guo Cheng, who just wanted to reprimand Guo Cheng, who opened the door without permission, patted his head and said helplessly: "Come in." ”
"Hey......
Hearing this, Liang Liang immediately pushed open the door and walked in, and handed over the painting in his hand: "Director, this is a work that I have been meticulously painted day and night, forgetting to sleep and eat for a whole week, and it will definitely amaze your eyes." ”
"Take it back, you don't need it. Guo Cheng waved his hand, didn't even look at it, and urged him to leave.
In fact, he already wants to give up, and it doesn't matter if he looks at Liangliang's painting or not. Of course, he also didn't think that the painting would be approved by Kana Nozawa.
"Ahh I don't need it, then I ...... credits."
Liang Liang was a little surprised, looking at the sketch in his hand and pouting.
She didn't care about painting, but she didn't care if the school would dissuade her.
"Let's talk about that matter, you go back first, I still have something to do. Guo Cheng quietly glanced at him, with a helpless expression.
"Oh...... Goodbye, Director. ”
Liang Liang glanced at Nozawa Coriander who was sitting on the sofa, and it happened that the other party was also looking at her, out of politeness, the gambling king grinned......
"Guest, look at my cat, you're going to love it. ”
"Zhang Jiuliang!"
Guo Cheng saw that Liang Liang actually sat next to Nozawa Coriander and began to promote his works, and immediately became angry in his heart and scolded.
"I'm sorry Director, I'll leave now. Liang Liang hurriedly got up and apologized, grabbed the sketch and was about to leave.
"Wait. ”
A slightly surprised voice suddenly appeared, and Nozawa Kana clutched the sketch tightly: "Can you let me see it?"
Liang Liang tilted his head and thought about it, shook his head and refused: "That may not work, the director asked me to leave with this painting." ”
"I didn't!" Guo Cheng was about to jump on the edge of the cool air, and ran over without any image and lowered his voice and said, "My little ancestor, can you give Lao Tzu a bite to eat?"
After speaking, he shrugged his shoulders regardless of Liangliang, turned his head to meet the smiling face and said, "Miss Nozawa, you take your time, look slowly." ”
"Thank you. Miss Nozawa took the sketch and looked at it carefully.
Guo Cheng's whole talent relaxed, gasping and sitting on another sofa to take a break.
But he wanted to rest, and some people didn't want him to rest.
"Director, what do you think of me,......" Liang Liang leaned over and asked.
"I'll wait until Miss Nozawa finishes the painting, so there's no hurry. "Guo Cheng is also a human spirit, how can he not know that Liang Liang is playing a trick on him and using delaying tactics.
thought that Liang Liang would try his best to continue pestering, but Guo Cheng found that there was no sound around him, and then he saw that Liang Liang had already run to the water dispenser to pour water and drink.
Get!
I'm quite confident.
Guo Cheng shook his head and put his eyes back on Nozawa Coriander, as for this student who was a headache for the entire school, he would deal with it after the results.
The atmosphere in the office this time was not quiet, because of the presence of Zhang Jiuliang, there was some movement inside from time to time.
Guo Cheng's brows had already wrinkled into inverted figures, but he had no choice but to endure it.
Nozawa Kana is exceptionally focused, unaffected by outside voices, and her professional attitude is amazing.
After a long time, she raised her head to look at Liang Liang, who was sitting on the sofa on the other side, and asked, "Did you draw it yourself? Do you own the copyright to it?"
Hearing this, Liang Liang silently put away the mobile phone that was fighting the landlord, nodded and replied: "I drew it, and the copyright is in my hands." ”
Nozawa Coriander was overjoyed, and excitedly grabbed Liangliang's hand and said, "This is the cat I want, I really like it so much!"
"Hey...... It's good to like it, it's good to like it. Liang Liang smiled innocently, but his eyes kept glancing at Director Guo Cheng.
The meaning in his eyes was obvious, but it was a pity that Guo Cheng had time to take care of her now, seeing Nozawa Coriander's appearance, he immediately felt that there was a play, and hurriedly asked: "Miss Nozawa, since you like it, then this cooperation matter ......"
Nozawa Kana agreed: "No problem, this is the animation image that our Kyodoi Animation Company wants, no matter how much it costs, we will buy it!"
It's done!
Guo Cheng clenched his fists excitedly and snickered alone.
And Nozawa Coriander didn't pay any attention to him, pointing to the sketch in his hand and asking Xiang Liangliang: "Does it have a name?"
"Yes. Liang Liang nodded honestly and replied.
"What's it called?"
"Doraemon. ”
