Zhou Fengying couldn't help but be stunned.

Twelve-episode cartoons, if they were placed in the eighties, they must be feature-length cartoons.

But now Coco is different, although cartoons are not as good as in later generations, with dozens of episodes at every turn, but many animation bases have already begun to start the production of cartoons with more than 20 episodes.

For example, CCTV, which has produced "Children of the Sun" on its own, as well as Modu Art Film Studio and Kyoto TV, all have such plans.

It can be seen that for long-form cartoons, many animation production units have consciously tended to resource manpower.

Overall, though, short animations are still mainstream.

Not only Zhou Fengying knows this, but even Wang Ruoyun and He Yun also know this.

The reason why He Yun only plans to make twelve episodes is because his script only has twelve episodes.

And there is no moisture at all in it, the plot is coherent, the main line is clear, the layers are reversed, and the meaning is far-reaching.

"That's right! Only twelve episodes! He Yun nodded at Zhou Fengying, and then explained: "Because I can only create twelve episodes of this script, there are only twelve episodes of the entire animation, and there is no other reason." ”

He Yun's words made Wang Ruoyun echo and said: "Mr. Zhou, what He Yun means is that because of the limitation of the entire script, the number of cartoon episodes can no longer be edited to increase the number of episodes, if it is edited again, I am afraid that it will affect the look and feel of all cartoons!" ”

"I understand! I understand! Zhou Fengying naturally understood the meaning of He Yun's words.

However, she still has some pity, after all, judging from this script, there are indeed signs of fire.

It's a pity......

"Forget it! Twelve episodes are twelve episodes! Zhou Fengying sighed secretly, then raised her head to look at He Yun, and asked again: "Comrade He Yun, I am very optimistic about this cartoon, I hope to be able to carry it out with you, I don't know what the two of you think?" ”

"Mr. Zhou, let's be honest, in fact, before you came, we had already reached a cooperation with Jade Animation Design Company, so ......"

"It's okay, can the three of us work together?"

"Since Mr. Zhou said so, what else can we say? Let's go! We can cooperate, as for the specific cooperation plan, you see? ”

"In two days, I will send someone to discuss this with the two of you, what do you think?" Zhou Fengying didn't wait for Wang Ruoyun to finish speaking, and immediately said.

"No problem, let's settle it!" He Yun replied directly.

In the next time, Zhou Fengying discussed with He Yun and the others on some general directions of cooperation, and after half an hour, the two sides basically reached an agreement.

Soon after, Zhou Fengying left.

Wang Ruoyun and He Yun continued to chat for a while, and then left the courtyard.

…………

At the beginning of June, the weather in Kyoto is already very hot.

A newsstand near Kyoto University.

Zheng Zhiwen is a student in the Department of Chinese at Kyoto University.

In the same way, he is also a lover of literature and a writer.

Of course, he said that he was a writer, but in fact, he only contributed to newspapers and magazines.

Although a few articles were occasionally published, this was far from his goal.

In his heart, among young writers, there is only one idol he admires the most, and that is "Man Jianghong".

For "Man Jianghong", he has been silently liking it since a few years ago.

In particular, the realistic work "Love of Lakes and Mountains" made him extremely impressed.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that he began to consciously collect the works of "Man Jianghong".

No matter what kind of work it is, he spares no effort to collect it.

And every time I read it carefully, after reading it, I will write my feelings after reading.

Later, he learned that "Man Jianghong's real name was He Yun", who taught at Kyoto Normal University and also opened a public elective course on literature.

When he learned the news, he deliberately took time out to go to Kyoto Normal University to skip classes.

It was precisely because of this class that he had an overall impression of He Yun's profound literary knowledge.

After that, he also learned that He Yun is not only a writer, he is also one of the famous scholars in the field of Chinese classical literature, not only participating in a national research project, but also publishing many related papers.

This made him even more adorable.

About two months ago, he accidentally learned that a very special reading club had been formed in the Chinese Department in Kyoto.

What is special about this reading club is that it requires that the participants must be people who "admire" the young writer "Man Jianghong", and they are also very familiar with his works.

Even this reading club has a very interesting name, called "Manjianghong Reading Club".

The meaning is self-evident.

After joining this reading club, everyone's enthusiasm was high, some people liked He Yun's science fiction works, some people liked He Yun's realistic works, and even some people specially asked someone to go to Xiangjiang to bring back the traditional version of the works after learning that He Yun's works were only published in Xiangjiang and other places.

For example, He Yun's "Fantasy Trilogy".

It can be said that the worship of He Yun has become a part of their lives.

And if you put this phenomenon in the future, you will find that this is completely the prototype of the "fan group".

It's just that one worships young writers, and the other worships one's own "idols".

"Young man! What do you think? You've been reading this magazine for a long time, do you want to buy it? The owner of the newsstand glanced at Zheng Zhiwen and couldn't help urging.

"Uh...... Boss! I'm so sorry, I don't buy it! Don't buy it! After Zheng Zhiwen heard the boss's reminder, he couldn't help but come back to his senses, he smiled awkwardly, and searched the newsstand.

Suddenly, he pointed to one of the books and said, "Boss! You still have this kind of book for sale? ”

"You said this! It's not for sale, it's for me to go to the bookstore and buy it myself! The boss smiled and tucked the book in his hand into the back.

However, Zheng Zhiwen obviously didn't want to give up, and he immediately said: "Boss, do you also like to watch Man Jianghong's "Archaeological Series"? ”

"Hahaha...... That's nature! This writer is really good! I used to read the first few in magazines, and this sequel is not in magazines now, and I also went to the bookstore to find it, you see, it has just been published. The boss looked proud at the moment, and couldn't help but say to Zheng Zhiwen.

"Oh...... Looks like we're like-minded! I also like Man Jianghong's "Archaeological Series" very much, especially the knowledge of various rare tombs introduced in it, as well as all kinds of historical unpopular knowledge, which impressed me very deeply. ”

Zheng Zhiwen talked about the "Archaeology Series", which is the first and the first.

And the same is true of the boss, who also likes to read this book very much.

It's just that this time it wasn't serialized in "Story Club", and he had to pay for a copy in the bookstore.

At that time, when he bought it, there were only three copies left, and after he bought one, it was quickly out of stock.

"Young man, if you really want to buy it, I suggest you go to Xinhua Bookstore, I'm afraid that other bookstores will be out of stock!"

Zheng Zhiwen's words made Zheng Zhiwen stunned, and immediately nodded: "Boss!" Thank you so much, I'll go to Xinhua Bookstore right away. ”

After saying this, he immediately rode his bicycle to the nearby Xinhua bookstore.

After a while, he finally came to the nearest Xinhua bookstore.

To his obvious surprise, there was a strange phenomenon in the bookstore, he found that many people were gathered in front of a bookcase, as if they were looking at some books.

So, he immediately walked over.

After asking someone, he realized that everyone who dared to love was coming for the latest masterpiece of the "Archaeological Series", "The Tomb of the Archaeological Nuwa".

Many people chose to squat in Xinhua Bookstore to watch because they were shy, and some people gritted their teeth and directly bought a new copy and planned to go back to read it.

But either way, it can be seen how popular "Archaeological Nuwa Tomb" is.

Not only young people like to watch it, but even many people in their thirties and forties like to watch it.

There are also a few elderly people among them, who also bought a copy and are going to take it home.

Seeing this, Zheng Zhiwen hurriedly prepared to take a copy on the shelf.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, he found that the one he was holding was read by another person.

And this person, he just happened to know.

"Professor He, ...... are you?"

"Are you ......?" He Wenbin looked at the young man in front of him, but he was puzzled.

"Professor He, I am your student Zheng Zhiwen, from the Department of Chinese, and I have listened to your class!" Zheng Zhiwen hurriedly introduced himself.

"Oh...... Chinese? Do you also like to read this one? Then are you also from the Manjianghong Reading Club? He Wenbin couldn't help asking.

"Hmm...... Professor Ho, do you like to see this too? Zheng Zhiwen's face was full of surprise.

He didn't expect the professor to like to watch this kind of thing.

"What? Can't I just like to watch this? Don't underestimate this one, from an ornamental point of view, this one captures the curiosity of all ages, and from a literary point of view, this one is not inferior to those so-called mainstream literature. ”

"The knowledge involved in this, such as archaeology, folk culture, history, psychology, medicine, biology, and even physics and chemistry, can be said to integrate professional knowledge in many fields, and it can be seen that the author of this book is very knowledgeable."

"And from the level of values discussed by itself, there are also some positive things, of course, this is naturally not as good as those mainstream literature, but in terms of circulation, it is indeed a very successful book."

He Wenbin, worthy of being a professor in the Department of Chinese, analyzed this book from all levels.

And after Zheng Zhiwen heard these remarks, he was also very impressed.

He not only admired the professional analysis of Professor He in front of him, but also admired the author "Man Jianghong" even more.

However, while he was admiring, He Wenbin's next words made him stunned again.

"Actually, I have met Comrade He Yun, the author of this book, and his achievements in the field of ancient Chinese literature do not belong to his literary achievements at all."

"Uh......" Zheng Zhiwen smiled awkwardly and said again: "Professor He, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." ”

At this moment, he really didn't know what to say.

Compared with He Yunlai, he, the author, can only be regarded as a literature lover.

This made him a little embarrassed.

At the same time, it also made him more determined to visit He Yun in person.

In fact, he had such an idea for a long time, but for various reasons (he didn't put it into practice.

Now when he heard such a high evaluation from Professor He, he decided to give it a try.

…………

Kyoto, in front of the Construction Bank.

He Yun walked out slowly.

Just now, he deposited the 100,000 royalties he recently received into his new China Construction Bank account.

This manuscript fee is the simplified royalty of "The Tomb of Nuwa God", and I called him yesterday.

As for the traditional version, it was called very early.

Now He Yun has more than one million on several accounts.

He Yun naturally won't spend this money indiscriminately, and he plans to invest most of it in the newly registered film and television company.

An hour later, he drove back to the courtyard.

As soon as I got off the bus, I saw a person standing at the door.

As soon as He Yun asked, he dared to be the person sent by the Shao boss.

The other party came from Xiangjiang.

After He Yun welcomed him into the courtyard, the other party directly told He Yun about the various terms of cooperation between the two parties.

He Yun naturally wouldn't sign it so easily, he had to find a professional lawyer to read the contract.

He had already thought about this.

So, he said directly to the person in front of him: "I'm sorry, I need to show this contract to my company's lawyer, you wait a while." ”

After saying this, He Yun immediately made a phone call.

Half an hour later, a man came to his courtyard.

The person who came is called Wu Zhe, a lawyer at a law firm in Kyoto, because he has cooperated with Yunyi Animation several times, He Yun naturally knows him.

"Lawyer Wu! I'm sorry for you! ”

"It's okay! We're all old friends, so let's take a look at the contract first! Wu Zhe smiled slightly, and then went straight to the point.

"Okay! That's the contract. He Yun said, and immediately handed him the contract in his hand.

He Yun waited for almost forty minutes, and then Wu Zhe handed him the contract, "No problem!" Comrade He Yun! It is possible to sign. ”

"Okay! Then trouble Lawyer Wu! ”

"It's fine!"

After Wu Zhe helped He Yun read the contract, he left quickly.

And He Yun also signed his name on the contract.

After chatting with the other party for a while, He Yun sent him to the door.

It was just when he was ready to turn around.

A young man who looked like a student stood in front of him.

"Teacher He! Hello! My name is Zheng Zhiwen and I am a student in the Department of Chinese at Kyoto University. ”

"Kyoto University?"

"Come in with me!" He Yun glanced at the other party, nodded at him, and led him into the courtyard.

"Say it! Is there anything you want me to do? After He Yun led him into the study, he couldn't help asking.

"Teacher He, can I worship you as a teacher?"

"Worship me as a teacher? I'm sorry, but I don't have any intention of taking apprentices, and I never do! He Yun shook his head directly and refused.

Even if it was Li Yan, He Yun did not officially accept her as an apprentice, let alone a stranger.

Besides, which apprentice does he accept!

It's all a new society now, and apprentices and whatnots are long outdated.
