Robinov actually didn't agree with the use of Mark Osborne as the director of "The Great Protector" from the beginning.

Having been in Hollywood for so long, he always knew a lot of things that others didn't know.

For example, Director Mark's stinky temper and arrogant character.

In recent years, Mark Osborne's treatment at Paramount is a direct result of his personality.

But this time Mark Osborne was personally introduced by Spielberg, and Robinov no longer objected to Mark entering the Chinese animation studio.

In the past few months, Peng Yichen has stayed in Huaxia, so he doesn't know.

But Robinov and Mark Osborne were directly connected, and he had long known that this Mark's request for Peng Yichen was contrary to him, and he didn't take what Peng Yichen said two times before to heart.

In the face of Peng Yichen's request this time, of course, he was even more complaining.

But who Peng Yichen is, Robinov knows better.

This young man is only 30 years old, but he has never compromised anyone with his strict requirements in film shooting.

Seeing that the contradiction between the two people was about to erupt, Robinov hurriedly diverted the topic and said: "Peng, we understand your thoughts, but this is a film that needs to be balanced between art and business." And the balance between this is very difficult to master. You have to understand Mark Osborne, he just wants to make the movie a little more realistic. ”

"Realism? Realism is a deeper requirement on the basis of a beautiful picture!" Peng Yichen sighed and said his last request:

The audience loves the real, but it's beautifully real. I don't want our animated movies to scare people away. Even though it was a movie that was likely to be rated p_17, I still needed a cute, beautiful, and aura character. In this way, the audience can love it, and it is possible to further accept the ideas in our films. Art for art's sake is something I have never been able to accept. ”

After speaking, Peng Yichen took out a few copies of Yu Jing's manuscript and put them in front of Mark Osborne and a few of his subordinates.

This is a few character drawings drawn by Yu Jing when he read the script after he wrote the script of "The Great Protector".

Yu Jing is worthy of being Peng Yichen's wife, and she knows exactly what he wants.

The characters in her pen in the Great Dharma Protector made Peng Yichen very satisfied.

The reason why I didn't bring out these paintings when I met and communicated with Mark Osborne the first two times was to show respect for Mark Osborne, otherwise Mark Osborne thought they were coming to them, but they didn't believe them.

But now, seeing that Mark Osborne is so stubborn, he has no choice but to take out these paintings and make a sample for them.

If he can't copy it, Peng Yichen can only consider letting Mark Osborne go.

Mark Osborne and the others didn't know what was drawn on these papers, but after reading them, they were all shocked.

The characters of these "Great Protectors" are indeed very beautifully drawn, and the characters on them all have distinct personalities, and they all have a cute and cute feeling, which is indeed the same as Peng Yichen's requirements.

"Okay. Mr. Peng, we will draw new characters according to this style. Zikes Wade, assistant director of animation, saw that Mark Osborne was about to speak, and nodded in agreement.

He is very familiar with his old partner, and knows that his personal ability and talent are strong, but he just doesn't know how to be soft.

This is also the reason why Mark Osborne and his team have not received support and funds to shoot animated feature films at Paramount, so they can only do some animation special effects for other crews.

Mark Osborne, of course, knew that his assistant director Zixes was doing it for his own good, and finally held back.

At this time, Robinov was relieved to see that Peng Yichen and Mark Osborne had finally "reconciled" temporarily, and he was ready to stand up and end this time.

At this time, Zixi suddenly smiled and said, "Director Peng, I didn't expect your painting skills to be so exquisite, these pictures are very good." ”

Peng Yichen is not a person who can afford to take it or let it go, and said with a smile: "Haha, it's over." Where do I have such a painter, this is all painted by my wife Yu Jing. She is a graduate of the Central Academy of Arts. ”

Unexpectedly, this sentence angered Mark Osborne, he originally thought that these people had drawn the pictures by Peng Yichen himself, and for the sake of Peng Yichen's current status and reputation in Hollywood, he could still endure it.

But now I know that these drawings were all drawn by a young woman.

But Peng Yichen also asked him to learn from this woman and adjust his character plan according to her character map, which made a proud person like Mark Osborne acceptable.

I saw this old man, like a wounded lion, slapping the table and saying loudly: "I won't change it, I will definitely not change this character plan, we are wasting time, you are humiliating our entire team!"

Peng Yichen is not a young man who just debuted now, he has seen too many big names in the Chinese film industry and Hollywood film industry, and these big names dare not be so presumptuous in front of him.

What's more, his request this time is related to the success or failure of the entire movie "The Great Protector", so he will not accommodate Mark Osborne again, even if he was introduced by Spielberg.

Peng Yichen solemnly said his final bottom line: "The character must be changed according to these pictures I gave you, which cannot be questioned." ”

"Then I'll quit!"

Mark Osborne took off his reading glasses and excitedly announced his decision.

He then looked at his assistant director, Zix, and the art director, Fenice.

"As for you, if we come together, let's go together. This young boy is playing with us!"

Unfortunately, neither of them had any intention of following him.

The treatment of Chinese animation studios is the highest among animation studios in the world.

And the key is that they all believe that the movie "The Great Protector" will definitely be able to become an immortal classic animated film.

With a good salary and a huge career success in the future, these two people can't give up easily.

Even if they were brought by Mark Osborne, now they are employees of China Animation, and they are not employees hired by Mark Osborne, so there is no need to advance and retreat with him.

The old man saw that the two of them were unwilling to go with him, so he walked out of the conference room in a huff, slammed the door hard, and then left the headquarters building of Chen Jing Film Company.

For a while, the atmosphere in the conference room became a little awkward, Peng Yichen shook his head and smiled: "Okay, since Mark Osborne doesn't want to work in China Animation Studio anymore, the director of "The Great Protector" needs to be replaced." I don't know, what do you think of these character drawings?"

Assistant director Zikes and art director Fenicey glanced at each other and decided to tell the truth: "The painters of these paintings are very good, and what is even more powerful is that the painters have a very deep grasp of the script of "The Great Protector", so the character design is very suitable for the needs of the story." It is a top-notch character painting. ”

Peng Yichen didn't look like the two of them were flattering themselves and telling lies, so he smiled and said, "OK, I think I've found someone to take over Mark Osborne's position." Friends, my wife, Yu Jing, has always been very fond of animated movies for many years. She is also a very good painter herself. In another three months, after her film is finished, there will be a lot of time, so it is better to let her be the director, and Zix, you will help her. Fenice, in the past three months, you have prepared all the character designs and background drawings required for the movie according to these characters. Who's for it, who's against?"

He said this in a very warm tone, but the momentum on his body was terrifying.

Everyone at the scene nodded subconsciously, not daring to have any more objections.

Yu Jing's resolution to serve as the director of the animated film "The Great Protector" is completely passed.
