Chapter 70 of the main text volume, the Great Era

Next chapter

On June 25, 1991, Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan came to Shanghai.

They chose the first stop of their tour in Shanghai because Lin Zixuan wanted to see the cartoon "Hulu Brothers".

Hucheng Fine Arts Film Studio invited him to come several times, but he never had the opportunity, so he came to visit by the way.

Since this fairy tale was published in "Literary Boy", it has been praised by many fairy tale writers, but children's stories are niche after all, and most of the readers are children, and the influence is not great.

Perhaps it will only be until the cartoon is broadcast on TV that it will attract widespread attention.

Lin Zixuan called the United States Film Studio in advance and told them that he would come today, but he did not ask the United States Film Studio to send someone to pick it up, he didn't want to trouble others, so he just found it himself.

The two got off the train, got out of the train station, and found a star-rated hotel to stay in first.

Choosing a star-rated hotel is not a luxury, but because of Mu Shanshan's identity, many TV viewers know her, and it is more reassuring to live in a regular hotel, they are here to travel, and they don't want to be watched.

Besides, honeymoon travel should naturally be enjoyed, only once in a lifetime, and not too economical.

The two took a bath in the hotel, rested, and went to the Fine Arts Film Studio in the afternoon.

The Meiying studio was in Jing'an District, and they came to the door, took out their work permits, and asked the people guarding the door to call the leaders of the factory.

After a while, the director in charge of the production of "Hulu Brothers" came out to greet them and brought the two to the production room.

The director's name is Hu Jinqing, in his fifties, is a veteran animation director, and he is very prestigious in the field of Chinese animation.

At this time, Huaguo's cartoon production was mainly based on paper-cut animation, because there was no computer, so it could only be made into paper puppets by paper-cutting, and the experience of drawing on shadow puppetry joints to manipulate the movements of the characters made the paper puppets move.

The ambient space is made up of painted pieces of paper and a foreground and foreground pasted on glass, with glass panels spaced at a certain distance to allow for layered lighting.

When shooting, the puppets are placed flat on the glass plate and shot frame by frame, so that the puppets and the environment are integrated.

Obviously, it takes time and effort to make zuò in this way, and it takes more than half a year to complete "Hulu Brothers" to make zuò, and at present, the American Film Studio has produced part of it, but there is no dubbing yet.

Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan watched a paragraph and thought it was very good, and the characters were lifelike.

Especially for Lin Zixuan, there is a sense of nostalgia, Mu Shanshan also feels novel, she is the first reader of "Hulu Brothers", watching fairy tales become cartoons, there is a sense of intimacy.

However, at this time, the animation market was not sluggish, with a large turnover of personnel, low production, lack of funds, and strict losses.

A 10-minute cartoon can only be broadcast on a TV station for 100 yuan at a time, and the cost of making zuò is as high as 300,000 yuan, and it is not easy to recover the cost.

Moreover, not all the cartoons produced are of guaranteed quality and are all welcomed.

The TV station does not have a special animation channel, nor does it stipulate how many minutes of cartoons must be shown each day.

Hucheng Fine Arts Film Studio hopes to create a high-quality animation film that is loved by children, and they have great expectations for "Hulu Brothers" and want to make a comeback.

As long as "Hulu Brothers" is popular, the TV station will continue to rebroadcast it, so as to get revenue.

As the author, Lin Zixuan expressed his approval of the animation produced by the American Film Studio, which basically coincided with the images in his memory.

In the evening, they had a meal in the cafeteria of the American Film Studio and the production team, and they hoped that Lin Zixuan would create more children's stories that could be adapted into cartoons, and the current fairy tales are not innovative enough.

Lin Zixuan thought about it, and had time to write "Sheriff Black Cat", which is also a classic cartoon.

Back at the hotel, the two of them lay on the bed and watched TV, tonight is the day when Huaguo TV broadcasts "Alien Girl".

As Zhang Yingying's singing voice sounded, the opening of "Alien Girl" appeared, Chen Changle and Lin Zixuan were in the producer column, Lin Zixuan was still in the screenwriter column, and the songwriter of the theme song was still Lin Zixuan.

Although the appearance rate of the name Lin Zixuan is very high, the audience still doesn't care.

They think this song is very good, and they see that Chen Xiaoyi is very handsome, Tang Zhenzong is very handsome, and no audience will pay attention to the people behind the scenes.

At the same time, Chen Changle, who was in Huacheng, was watching, Zhang Yingying was also watching, Chen Xiaoyi in the capital was watching, Li Hong was also watching, and even Tang Zhenzong was also watching.

This TV series contains many people's expectations, and whether it can succeed depends on the next few days.

Viewers who just watched this drama would not have imagined that in the following days, this TV series would trigger a nationwide discussion about reform and opening up.

This is the first time that Chinese audiences have seen the Huacheng model up close and understand what is happening in Huacheng.

After watching this TV series, the number of young men and women in the rural areas of the mainland who went to work in Huacheng increased dramatically, which is the demonstration effect.

Because of this TV series, Huaguo has entered a new period of farmers going south to work.

The song "I Don't Want to Say" spread all over the streets and alleys of China, and Zhang Yingying tasted the taste of popularity.

"Xiao Chen's performance is good. After watching an episode of the TV series, Mu Shanshan commented.

"She is from a professional class, of course she acted well, wait for it, after this play is over, she will become a wrist. Lin Zixuan affirmed.

"Do you have a special sense of achievement?" Mu Shanshan said curiously, """Desire" has made Zhang Kaili popular, and "Alien Girl" has made Xiao Chen popular again, and you will be regarded as a signboard in the TV circle in the future." ”

"Where is this going, after the broadcast of "The Story of the Editorial Department", you will know that it is amazing. Lin Zixuan said smugly, "Don't dare to say anything else, Brother You must be remembered by the people of the whole country, and at least 600 million of the 1.2 billion people in China know him." ”

"I believe this, it will wilt when you look at it, and the audience will definitely not forget it. Mu Shanshan nodded and said, "You guys really gather like things, a group of people who don't know how to get together, and you can figure things out." ”

"What is out of tune, you don't understand, this shows that we all have the heart of a literary and artistic youth. Lin Zixuan argued.

"Come on, I think you're just playing poor. Mu Shanshan debunked.

The next day, the two of them came to the Bund in Shanghai, looked at the Huangpu River, strolled the snack street, and were leisurely.

At this time, the influence of "Alien Girl" had already been revealed, and a large number of opinion articles appeared in the newspaper.

Huaguo TV undoubtedly released a signal, combined with the current trend of public opinion, so that many people see a general trend, and the pace of reform is about to move forward in great strides.

A turbulent era is coming
