Chapter 15: The Ten Brothers

Shen Chang's solution of "eating one more meal" made Song Mu suddenly have black lines on his head.

She thinks the food here is good, but she can't accept eating two months' salary for two days in a row!

simply stopped pulling with Shen Chang for money, she led him out of the Rongling Hotel and visited the department store in the name of consumption.

It wasn't until he fell in love with a good men's dress and bought it for Shen Chang that Song Mu nodded with satisfaction.

"No, no, no! No returns! This is the joy I want to share with you, if you dare to ignore you, I will ignore you again! Song Mu said half-statedly and half-threateningly.

Shen Chang hesitated for a moment, but finally happily put it away, which made Song Mu nod with satisfaction again.

After buying the return gift, Song Mu naturally had no intention of "eating", and the two symbolically walked around for another three or five minutes, and then chose to end the date and go home.

Song Mu didn't sleep and rest immediately when she got home, she still had a job that needed to work overtime, that is, to complete the script of "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother".

Since the last time she wrote a part in the office and was watched by everyone, she was embarrassed to write in the factory. Now the only way to finish the script is to go home in the evening.

Mother Yao Xiuying is also accustomed to her daughter going home to work overtime, and when she saw her daughter come back, she started working again, not only did she not nag, but also brought her daughter a cup of warm tea silently......

The days are moving forward in this unhurried state.

The division of labor in the studio has gradually completely replaced the previous segmentation method, and things like animation specification boxes have become a necessity, and the studio has almost achieved one for everyone.

After the elite group taught the division of labor in the whole factory, they were arranged to make several important short films, all of which were mainly in ink style. Several people in the elite group are already considered "master" in this regard, so they are also hand-to-hand.

With the passage of time, several people in the group no longer formed gangs with their original departments, but gradually merged into a real and independent "elite group".

Song Mu, the core of the elite group, lives a repetitive life day after day: leading the elite group to do animation during the day, going home to polish the script at night, and occasionally asking Shen Chang to have dinner or go to Boss Zhao's video hall to watch movies when he has time.

The studio as a whole seems to be gradually improving, and Song Mu believes that as long as time passes, the studio will definitely soar again!

However, the good times did not last long, and the studios that had just embarked on the track of revival ushered in another huge difficulty......

The office was smoky like a fairyland, Mao Yongyi was smoking cigarettes one after another, and none of the three people sitting under him opened his mouth.

These three people are Song Mu's old leader, Huang Peiqin, director of the painting department, Jiao Pengxing, director of the production department, and Song Mu, the leader of the elite group.

Song Mu frowned and looked at the . Red. Head. Wen. For a moment, she wondered if she was wrong.

The content of this document is very long, but the summary is very simple: "Now foreign countries do animated series, and short films are no longer popular!" As a big country, we can't afford to lag behind! Therefore, the organization decided that we should also make a serial! In order to reduce your burden, the script is ready for you! It's the folklore "Ten Brothers"! ”

If you only talk about this, I believe that several of you will rejoice. But there is still content later, that is: "Just give 30,000 funds, but you must do it!" ”

I want to make a series with a budget of 30,000 yuan, it's just a joke! Which leader came up with this in the head? He doesn't know anything about animation, does he?

Mao Yongyi smoked a cigarette to the end again, he snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray fiercely, looked around at the few people sitting in the room, and said, "Lao Huang, let's talk about it first." ”

Huang Peiqin has been used to being named for many years, and she didn't shirk it, and spit out three words directly: "I can't do it." ”

Mao Yongyi gently tapped the table with his fingers, and after a moment of silence, he said: "During this time, we saved more than 30,000 yuan because of the change to the division of labor. Plus the 30,000 allocated above, a total of 60,000 words......"

"Still can't do it." Huang Peiqin directly interrupted him, "A total of 60,000 yuan wants to make a long story, even if the factory has changed to the division of labor method now, but after all kinds of expenses are spread, I'm afraid that one grid will not even be three cents!" What's even more excessive is that there are ten protagonists in this script! Isn't that what a strong man does? ”

Jiao Pengxing said with a rare opening: "Forget about three or four brothers, ten protagonists with different styles are really a bit embarrassing." ”

Mao Yongyi nodded, he looked at Song Mudao, who had been silent: "Xiao Song, is there a way to optimize the division of labor and press it to within three cents per grid?" ”

"This ......" Song Mu scratched his head in embarrassment, and tried hard to think of ways to reduce costs before crossing over.

Mao Yongyi thought that she was speechless because she had no choice, so he no longer forced her, but cleared his throat and said: "If there is no way, I will propose a plan, and you can hear if it can be done......

Mao Yongyi's plan is actually very simple, that is, to use his best shadow puppetry! He made the details very clear, and after making sure that several people understood, he threw the question back to several people and asked them to share their opinions.

"The implementation can be implemented, and if you do this, you can't even use the budget of 30,000 yuan." It was still Huang Peiqin who spoke first: "If it's just like this, won't it be too unlike a cartoon?" ”

Everyone here knows that although their factory is called Haishi Fine Arts Film Studio, shadow puppetry is also a form of art film, and even the director Mao Yongyi was best at shadow puppetry!

But it has to be said that shadow puppetry is not a cartoon in the eyes of many people at the moment. And the above document makes it clear, that is, they have to do "animated series"!

Mao Yongyi nodded and agreed with Huang Peiqin's statement, "I'm also worried about this, so I haven't said it." But if there is really no way to do it in the end, I'm afraid it can only be like this......"

"I know!" Song Mu suddenly said excitedly, "We can shoot the shadow puppet in a different way!" Switch to paper cutouts! ”

Seeing that everyone's eyes fell on her, she swallowed nervously and sorted out her thoughts before continuing: "Shadow puppetry is still too realistic after all, but paper-cutting is different. We can use paper to make shadow puppet characters, and then color the paper figures, and then put them on the background to shoot, so that the texture of the animation will be produced. ”

"What's the use of having a sense of value in animation?" Jiao Pengxing snorted disdainfully: "As long as there is still a sense of control on the paper figure, it will make people feel that it is not a cartoon!" ”

Hearing Jiao Pengxing's words, Song Mu couldn't help but grin at the corner of his mouth.
