Chapter 46: The Power of Public Opinion
"Yes, my only request is to set up an animation studio here and work on either of the two cartoons."
Meng Zhe nodded and said, what he said about participating in the production is actually participating in the lowest level of animation - coloring the original painting, painting the background, and painting the middle.
The background and coloring are easy to understand, and the middle painting is a little more esoteric, how can you say this......
Well, for example: if you want to draw a Monkey King spicy hand to destroy the flower stick and beat the white bone essence, if it is a comic, you only need to draw the Monkey King raising the golden hoop stick, and the golden hoop stick hitting the white bone spirit These two original paintings can be, and the action changes in the middle How much can the reader 'make up for his brain'.
However, when you animate, you have to draw a picture of the middle part of the picture that changes the movement a little bit, which is called an intermediate painting, and its synonym is "animation" - a picture that moves when connected.
Normally, a ten-minute animated short film will have between 4,000 and 6,000 pictures in the middle.
If there are enough pictures in the middle, the movements of the characters will appear natural, and on the contrary, it will make people feel very stiff and weird, and this is why everyone thinks the characters are very strange when watching some domestic animations - in order to save costs, the middle paintings of these animations are basically not enough.
And if the animator who draws the middle painting is good and has the surname of enlightenment, then if he has been doing it for a year or two, he can be promoted to the original artist who paints the original painting, and if he does a good job, he will be promoted to the original painting director...... If you keep performing well, you will eventually be promoted to an animation director.
Meng Zhe established an animation production studio, not to earn the hard-earned money of painting in the middle of the painting, but to make technical reserves for the production of his own cartoons, and he didn't want to meet the second Zhu Jianqiang.
……
The day after signing the contract for authorized animation, Shueisha, who got the follow-up creation outline of Meng Zhe's "Chess Soul" and "Light Girl", hurried back to the country of mud bombing.
And Meng Zhe turned to help Kong Lan intently, and made plans for suing Zhu Jianqiang for plagiarism and infringement lawsuit-
At Meng Zhe's suggestion, from the day the lawyer was hired to hand in the indictment, Kong Lan found more than a dozen news media to report on the suspected plagiarism.
Kong Lan didn't stuff money into reporters and magazines in private, Meng Zhe didn't know, anyway, the news and comments written by those reporters were all one-sided in support of Tianjiao Society, and they were upset for Meng Zhe, a 'genius comic boy'.
Among them, Xia Xiaoxuan, a reporter from the West Kyoto City Daily, spoke particularly fiercely, she described Meng Zhe as pitiful, and her image was comparable to 'Yang Bailao', while the corresponding Zhu Jianqiang completely became a 'Huang Shiren' with a hateful face and incomparable means......
Because of the reporters' 'objective' reports, public opinion is overwhelmingly supporting Tianjiao Society, which can be seen from the letters of support from many readers of anime teenagers.
When public opinion was formed, newspapers and magazines that followed the trend also appeared, and with the deepening of the report, Meng Zhe's two cartoons have signed a contract with Yueben, and the news that is about to be animated has also been discovered, and suddenly the whole country is amazed!
If we say that in the fifties and sixties, the Chinese were self-confident to the extreme; In the 10th century, after China opened its doors and the Chinese people were surprised to find that many places at home and abroad were lagging behind for decades, the national mentality immediately changed from self-confidence to extreme inferiority complex.
In this era, the mentality of many elites is: no matter how good things are in China, if they are not recognized by foreigners, they will all be dross! The dross that must be swept into the dustbin of history!
Not only does it worship Europe and the United States, but even a country with a feud like the mud bomb country has become an object of worship...... The social mentality of inferiority complex makes the news that any Chinese person wins or is recognized internationally will cause overwhelming public opinion in China.
Although Meng Zhe's 'international' reputation this time is just a cartoon for children that is not worth mentioning in the eyes of many people, it has also become a great event under the amplification of this social climate!
So all of a sudden, many experts and professors came out to write articles, analyzing the reasons why Meng Zhe's two works, "Chess Soul" and "Light Girl", gained international fame.
Most of the experts and scholars who jumped out were actually talking nonsense, and the purpose was nothing more than to make soy sauce and earn manuscript fees.
But there are also many excellent articles in the writing - the first director of Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio, filmed "The Proud General", "Little Tadpole Looking for Mother", "Shepherd Flute", "Landscape Love", ...... And so on and so on, the pinnacle of the 'Chinese School' animation The old man Tewei also published a signed article.
In the signed article, Tewei clearly sorted out the situation of the animation and animation industry in this book, the long industrial chain, and the annual output value of trillions of yuan.
Of course, as a director of the Chinese school, Tewei did not praise Meng Zhe in the article, but also pointed out Meng Zhe's comic painting style, which was too heavily influenced by this comic. But the old man Tewei also said tolerantly that Meng Zhe is still young now, so it is understandable that he is greatly influenced by this comic, and there will be enough time to sharpen and change in the future...... There are advantages to being young, and if you perform well, you will be easily carried by your elders!
Xia Xiaoxuan's earlier writing, the report "The Youth Here", which praised Meng Zhe's characters in the sky and on the earth, has also been reprinted by various newspapers and magazines, not to mention the famous ones, the famous reprinted publications are "Reader" and "Bosom Friend".
To put it mildly, Meng Zhe has now become the most famous genius boy in China, and people who are at the forefront of the times, if they don't know who Meng Jiji is who won the award in the book and the comic is about to be adapted into an animation, then he will be despised by others in the circle.
Under such a social trend, CCTV announced that it would introduce the cartoons of "Chess Soul" and "Light Girl" as soon as possible, and decided to acquire the animation copyright of Meng Zhe's "Go Boy"!
has been on the big windmill show, two-thirds of the "Young Chess Saint", which has been broadcast, has been quietly replaced with another cartoon.
Then, a leader of radio and television also said that Meng Zhe's two comics are rare in recent years, and the content is healthy and uplifting, so there will definitely be no trouble in introducing and approving them at that time. Regarding CCTV's decision to acquire the animation copyright of "Go Boy", radio and television also expressed support and appreciation......
Under the triple influence of facts, public opinion pressure and 'the foreign moon is rounder than China', how can this domestic first cartoon copyright lawsuit still lose?!
In the end, the first-instance judgment ruled that Zhu Jianqiang lost the lawsuit, and Zhu Jianqiang needed to compensate Meng Zhe and Tianjiao Society 20,000 yuan, and publish an apology in the newspaper.
When he saw the verdict, Meng Zhe went to school with a stationery box very coolly...... Hey, being young isn't all about the benefits, the better you perform, the more you'll be forced to take the final exam!
