Chapter 382: The Great Road
When the project of "Plan D" was established, because the character design could not be decided for a while, a voting activity for the elite animation club was held, and what Wang Xue said was that event.
Song Mu's eyes couldn't help but light up when she heard this proposal, in her opinion, this was a good proposal. The rest of the elite group also felt that this was a good way to do it, and it might be the best way to leave the choice to the audience representatives.
However, without waiting for Song Mu to say anything, Boss Zhao slapped the table and said: "It's the New Year's Eve, I just cleaned here with a person, it's a pleasure for you to bring those young people over, I can't clean it again after they leave?!" ”
Everyone looked at each other, they were really embarrassed to find this kind of trouble for Boss Zhao.
Li Xuelin wanted to go to Rongling Hotel if he couldn't say no, but he heard Boss Zhao say again: "Isn't it just to choose a person, can you have such a struggle?" Let me see...... Well...... Just pick this one. ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a character design map, which was the one made by Wang Xue.
Her character is good, it is called the mean, or the director of the Bo family, and if it is ugly, it is called unremarkable. Of course, the so-called no feature is also compared to the other three.
Her character design can be said to be true~ faithfully restores Song Mu's concept, and perfectly expresses all the things that Song Mu wants to show, and at the same time makes her unique features in some details.
Boss Zhao pointed to Wang Xue's setting map and said: "I think the little girl's setting picture is the most suitable for the script, before the seal is unlocked, the state between cynicism and decadence is very natural; The setting after unlocking the seal, in addition to domineering, also reveals an indescribable elegance.
"The other people are not bad at drawing, but they are not so much the Sun Dasheng of "Monkey King", but the Sun Dasheng in your respective minds. Their interpretation of "Monkey King" is not thorough enough, so I think this one is the best. ”
In Boss Zhao's comment, Song Mu couldn't help nodding again and again after hearing it, she looked at it again and again according to Boss Zhao's thoughts, and found that it was really what he said. The rest of the people lowered their heads embarrassedly after listening to Boss Zhao's words.
Seeing this, Song Mu knew that they had also seen it, so he simply clapped his hands and said, "Since everyone doesn't deny it, then according to what Boss Zhao said, let's use Xiaoxue, the character of Sun Dasheng." ”
After ordering Sun Dasheng, the rest of the roles will be selected quickly.
Although the protagonist should be Xiao Jiang Liuer, only Liu Xiaoping and Wang Xue drew a character for him. The choice is also very simple, Liu Xiaoping is better at painting cute things, and the Jiang Liuer she painted was unanimously approved, including Wang Xue.
As for the choice of Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, the old monk, and the last Bao Death, it was also very smooth, and there was no competition like Sun Dasheng.
It took about half an hour or so for all the characters to be decided.
Looking at all the character settings on the table, Song Mu nodded with satisfaction: "I thought that I would only set up a character after I got a break from the New Year and started working again." I didn't expect this to be back to work yet, so let's finish the character design. ”
"Or say that the efficiency of your young people is too slow," Boss Zhao pouted: "If it were in our time, there was such a big plan, except for the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, we would definitely not rest for a minute." ”
"How can we compare with the old-timers, we are far behind." Song Mu scratched his head in embarrassment, and then said to Boss Zhao: "Master Zhao, we have also satisfied your curiosity, and we have given the character set today, if there is nothing to do, can we disperse?" ”
As soon as Song Mu said this, the eyes of everyone in the elite group lit up, although they were very concerned about the production of "Monkey King", they didn't want to take up all the time for the New Year. The reason why Boss Zhao came over as soon as he called was because Boss Zhao's face was big enough, and on the other hand, Boss Zhao said that Song Mu was here.
However, Boss Zhao didn't think so, his eyes widened, and he said to the elite group hatefully: "Where is this?" If the Red Army's Long March had been abandoned at the beginning, would it have had a good life today? You're too careless! ”
"Master Zhao, it's holiday time...... Song Mu coaxed angrily: "After the New Year, we will definitely devote ourselves to the production!" ”
"Yes, after the New Year, we will definitely devote ourselves wholeheartedly!" Li Xuelin firmly followed Song Mu's call.
"Alas......" Boss Zhao inexplicably had a feeling that the mud couldn't support the wall, and he couldn't help but shake his head: "We ...... at that time"
"You didn't rest at that time except for the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve!" Song Mu replied, "You just said it again." ”
Boss Zhao: "!! ”
Song Mu saw that he seemed to be angry, so he hurriedly continued: "Boss Zhao, it's not advisable to work blindly, we have to combine work and rest." Besides, it's not the same now as you were then, is it? We are all paperless now, and all the factories have annual leave, and we can't do it just by a few of us. ”
Although the fact is that the number of people required to use a computer is far less than that of traditional paper work, Boss Zhao does not know this. Song Mu took advantage of this information gap to tell this innocuous lie.
Boss Zhao didn't suspect that this was a lie, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, and said with some interest: "The young people nowadays are really not good, that's it, let's do it first." ”
Although Song Mu's lie was harmless, she felt a little sorry when she saw Boss Zhao's lost appearance. Liu Xiaoping and the others also looked at each other, not knowing for a moment whether to leave or say something.
Seeing that Song Mu and the others didn't leave, Boss Zhao wanted to wave them away, but he didn't know what he remembered, so he sighed to them again: "When I was doing "Havoc in Heaven", not long after I entered the factory, under the leadership of the two directors, I was fortunate to participate in the production of "Havoc in Heaven".
"At that time, the staff who participated in the creation of the original work, including the original painting and animation, a total of twenty or thirty people, were divided into five groups. Each team consists of an original art, an assistant, and several animations.
"Don't look at just a few people, in order to pursue the effect, we didn't reduce too many intermediate frames, and it took two years for the first and second episodes of "Havoc in Heaven".
"When the next episode was filmed, due to policy changes, the whole film of "Havoc in Heaven" was not released. It wasn't until more than ten years later that it had the opportunity to be released and promoted to the world.
"Foreigners praise it, and Midi even said that the advent of "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", especially the birth of Sun Dasheng's classic image, is destined to bring far-reaching impact on the economy and culture to the studio and Chinese animation in the future."
After retelling Emperor Mi's evaluation of "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", Boss Zhao seemed to fall into memory, he didn't speak for a long time, Song Mu and the others didn't bother him, but waited quietly for the following.
After a while, Boss Zhao came back to his senses, he looked into the distance, and continued: "We were so excited at the time, although "Havoc in Heaven" has been buried for more than ten years, but it can be recognized by the whole world, and it gives so much expectation, I feel that it is all worth it."
"I thought that Huaguo's animation would gradually embark on a road as predicted by Midi, bringing far-reaching impact on our Huaguo's animation in terms of economy, questioning, and other aspects. However, the truth is brutal. Huaguo Animation has not only embarked on a broad road, but has become more and more tortuous. ”
After saying this, his gaze fell on Song Mu's face, and then he looked at the people in the elite group one by one: "Fortunately, fortunately, you young people appeared." If it weren't for you, the road to Huaguo Animation might not only be tortuous, but would have to go down a steep downhill road......"
"No, no." Song Mu waved her hand again and again, she knew a truth, if she was praised too high, the responsibility behind her would definitely be greater, so when Boss Zhao almost said that the elite group was the savior of Huaguo Animation, Song Mu denied it again and again.
Boss Zhao didn't seem to hear Song Mu's words, he continued to himself: "Back then, "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" was regarded by the whole world as a symbol of the take-off of our Chinese animation, but for various reasons, Chinese animation did not take off smoothly. Today, I hope that your "Monkey King" can become a new take-off symbol and truly make Huaguo Animation take off! ”
"That's it? …… Some? "Song Mu never thought that after Boss Zhao laid the groundwork, it would be such a simple request." That's it? After blurting out that she couldn't help but feel that something was wrong, she added another sentence and became, "Is that all?" ”
In fact, the requirement to really make Huaguo animation take off is not ordinarily big. If you want to be honest, this is probably the most difficult problem in the animation industry.
However, Song Mu has an animation production concept that is decades ahead of his time, countless classic scripts that can be magically changed, coupled with the blessing of GSI graphics workstation, two successful animated films, two successful animated series halos, and the take-off of Huaguo Animation, which does not seem to be a particularly difficult requirement for the current elite group.
After Boss Zhao heard Song Mu's words, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "What?" Isn't that hard enough? ”
"Difficult! Of course it's hard! A smile appeared on Song Mu's face, "But we have confidence!" ”
"Oh?" Boss Zhao looked at Song Mu playfully: "The little girl can't be so ambitious." ”
"It's not too ambitious." Song Mu shook his head, and then said to Boss Zhao: "Old Zhao, I like what you said before Kangzhuang Dalu compared to the take-off in the back. I don't dare to say that we have brought Huaguo Animation to the road, but I think we are working hard to take Huaguo Animation to this road! ”
