Chapter Seventy-Eight: Beating is kissing, scolding is love
It was still early to come out after applying for the passport, and Song Mu was not in a hurry to go home.
Li Xuelin came by car today, and the five of them happened to be in a car, although it was a little crowded, Li Xuelin drove them back to the studio.
The money for "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother" has not been settled, but he still stopped the car at a distance of one mile from the studio according to Song Mu's request, and several people walked back to the studio.
When I saw Song Mu for the third time this morning, the doorman was so bad that he forgot to call him in his daily greetings......
Since the elite group has not started the production of new animations, the design drafts of the trendy toys related to "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother" are enough, and it can be said that the members of the elite group basically have no other work except for drawing a few ultra-limited edition trendy toys every day.
The office of the elite group is now more like a toy coloring workshop or a board room than an animation studio.
That's right, it's a chess and card room.
At present, the foreign market has not been opened, although the domestic market has expanded from the sea market to the whole country, but the number of consumers who buy high-priced ultra-limited edition dolls is relatively small, and Lianhua has also limited purchases, so its production is actually temporarily oversupplied.
The people in the elite group don't have to rush to make paintings, and they have more and more free time.
Regardless of whether there is a job or not, going to work is definitely a must, and now there are no computers, mobile phones and other things to kill time, so Song Mu brought poker and mahjong so that everyone can play when they are fishing.
At first the elite group of people was very interested in working hours. There was still some resistance to the guide taking the lead in fishing, but after Song Mu organized it a few times, everyone slowly got used to it.
Gradually, Li Xuelin brought chess, Wang Xue brought Go, and Han Yangqiu brought Dungeons and Dragons......
Slowly, the elite group office became an elite group chess and card room, and everyone began to adapt to the rhythm of work when they were tired of painting.
Yesterday I finished painting all the inventory, and today the people of Lianhua have not sent a new batch of dolls over, and everyone has no way to paint them, and they are staring at them when they return to the office.
Song Mu was almost not in the office yesterday, and she only learned about this situation now.
A group of people had nothing to do, and Song Mu didn't want to play poker, so Wang Xue proposed: "Otherwise, let's start planning the next script, right?" ”
This proposal was echoed by Liu Xiaoping: "Collar. Director,I also think it's time for us to start planning the next animation.,While you're here today.,Why don't we set a general direction first.。 ”
Yesterday, Mao Yongyi had already said that he was going to urge the income of "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother", and the first batch of shares related to tide toys was about to be in place, and Song Mu felt that it was almost time to start preparing for the second animation.
So she nodded, got up and called everyone to come to a conference table and sit down, she stood in front of the blackboard and picked up the chalk, and looked around at the crowd: "This is a meeting, everyone doesn't have to be restrained, you can say whatever you think, let's sum up how to go next." ”
As soon as her words fell, Liu Xiaoping was the first to get up and say, "Lead. Director, I think the model of "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother" is good, adhering to the customs of Haishi Art Film Studio, and making bold innovations, our next film can continue this practice, find prototypes from Chinese myths and stories, and then carry out secondary processing, and create the next animation that is suitable for all ages. ”
Song Mu nodded, raised his hand and wrote the words "Continuation of Practice" on the blackboard.
"Who's next?"
Li Xuelin got up from his seat: "Although continuation is an insurance practice, I think that with Zhuyu of "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother" in front, it will be difficult to surpass it no matter what we do." As an elite group, we should do better and better, right, if we can't surpass the previous work, why are we called the elite group? ”
Li Xuelin's words were loud, but Song Mu's brows couldn't help jumping, she felt that this kind of thinking was very dangerous, because as long as it was a movie that sold at the box office, there was a certain amount of uncertainty. If you don't see a movie that is popular or not on the market, you have to have 800 if you don't say 1,000, right? This is something that the producer has no control over at all.
However, Liu Xiaoping didn't think there was a problem with what Li Xuelin said, she seemed to have already made a draft: "Of course, we have to do better and better, but it is not impossible to continue to develop on the original basis." "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother" is not perfect, I will give a way that can surpass it under the same quality - change the protagonist.
"Liu Shenxiang, the protagonist of "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother", is actually not so famous, as long as we are a more famous protagonist than him in the next film, I believe we can surpass "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother"."
"Why aren't you famous? Don't you know that you're not famous? Wang Xuelin and Liu Xiaoping entered the bar-raising mode again, "I think Liu Agarwood is very famous!" According to your requirements, apart from "Journey to the West", how can there be a more famous myth? But I'm sorry, our studio has done "Havoc in Heaven"! ”
Song Mu liked the argument between the two people, although she wanted to say, "I can do it if I have done it, I have a book called "The Return of Monkey King", do you want to know about it?" But in order not to hinder the argument between the two, she still chose to shut up.
Li Xuelin's words may have not been considered by Liu Xiaoping before, she did not immediately hit back at Li Xuelin, and after thinking for a while, she said: "There is only Sun Wukong in "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", and we can also shoot Zhu Bajie, Sha Monk and even Bailongma!" ”
"White Dragon Horse? Joke, how to shoot the white dragon horse? Did he be ridden by Tang Seng? Li Xuelin sneered very straightly.
Liu Xiaoping couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Bailongma met a love change on his wedding night, why did his partner betray him?" Why did he set the fire? Did he have a first love? Why did the Jade Emperor punish him? These points are just my temporary thoughts.,It's easy to expand into a romantic book, okay?! ”
Li Xuelin had obviously entered the state, and he immediately countered without thinking about it: "Isn't that a film that engages in objects?" What else do the children think? What should I do if I teach a bad child? ”
Song Mu: "......"
Seeing that this topic was about to go off the rails, Song Mu was about to speak out to stop it, but he heard Han Yangqiu say: "It's okay to do animation with adults as the audience." ”
Because his speech was very abrupt, Liu Xiaoping and Li Xuelin were both stunned, and then they both looked at him.
Han Yangqiu said unhurriedly: ""Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother" is indeed a success at the box office, but aside from the group viewing of the school organized by the above, we will find that only adults have repurchased movie tickets many times. Children basically don't come to the second consumption after watching it once.
"As a family-friendly animated film, "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother" has attracted many adults to watch, but in the eyes of adults without children, many of its plots are relatively young. Then we could have come up with an animated movie for adults only.
From this point of view, Liu Xiaoping's proposal to make a love movie about Bailongma is not completely impossible. However, this aspect needs to be discussed in detail, after all, for some gay men, romance films may be even more ugly than young age films.
"In addition, the main consumer groups of our trendy toys are basically adults. Person. Tablets may also be a good idea. The box office may not be as good as "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother", but the sales of trendy toys will definitely go to the next level. ”
After Han Qiuyang finished speaking, there was still silence in the office.
Although what he said was very reasonable, the reason why everyone was in a daze was not because of what he said.
What really silenced everyone was because from the time he met Han Yangqiu to the present, this was the first time he said hundreds of words in one breath except when he was drinking!
"Good ......" Li Xuelin couldn't help muttering: "Aren't you quite able to speak?" Why don't I usually see you talking like that......"
Han Yangqiu didn't respond to his thoughts, he had already returned to the state of a domineering president who didn't talk much.
Song Mu also gradually recovered from the shock, she coughed dryly, attracted everyone's attention, and slowly wrote on the blackboard with chalk, "Focus on adult-oriented animation".
