Quadrangle, within the studio.

And they sat there in silence.

At this moment, He Yun was sitting there secretly silent with a cup of tea.

Across from him, there was an old man with a pair of reading glasses, who stood in front of the drawing board, pointing to a few drawings pasted on it, and was talking about something.

"Everyone, please look at this sketch, there is obviously a problem with this sketch, who is this sketch drawing? Fahai, but looking at the dress on Hai's body, can you see the appearance of a monk? Although he was wearing a robe and holding a bronze bowl, he looked too young....... At least it's an old man, but this sketch is designed to be a middle-aged man, which is obviously not right! ”

"There is also this drawing, this is a design drawing of an official in the late Tang Dynasty, the overall costume of the official robe is not wrong, but the fault is on the official boots......."

The old man commented on the characters designed for each of the drawings pasted on the drawing board.

Although there are some elements of the bar for the sake of the bar, I have to say that he is quite right.

It can also be seen from another level that his pursuit of excellence in animation has reached a very high level.

Whether it's demeanor, expression, or clothing, he will analyze it with you little by little.

If you put it in the 80s, he would have been a very serious animation designer.

However, it is now the nineties.

The different times have created a different understanding of animation for animators.

In this age of money, time is money.

What's more, the animated film "The Origin of the White Snake" is roughly scheduled to be released around the Spring Festival next year.

In other words, this is a "Spring Festival file".

If you can't make it within the scheduled time, you will miss the release time.

In order to be released during the "Spring Festival", the entire Yunyi Animation has made sufficient preparations, and if it is delayed, it is very likely to lose part of the box office.

In the end, it is the interests of the Modu Art Film Studio that are lost.

But for Wang Ruoxu's point of view, the predecessor surnamed Cai did not agree.

In the eyes of their generation of animators, animation is art, which needs to be carefully cared for, and there can be no mistakes, otherwise it will not be perfect.

As for the box office of the release, that's not something that an animator should consider.

Indeed, for this senior, their thinking is still stuck in the era of planned economy, and the state has a unified acquisition standard for cartoons, or art films, no matter how they are filmed, the price is the same.

Therefore, in that vulgar era, the quality of cartoons was generally high, and they paid attention to excellence, pursuing art and quality, rather than creative speed.

In contrast, the concept of Yunyi Animation is different.

Although under the influence of He Yun, quality will also be pursued, but if the time is in a hurry, some quality will still be abandoned.

After all, Yunyi Animation is a private enterprise, and what it pursues is monetary interests, otherwise the entire enterprise will go bankrupt.

There is still a certain difference between this and the Modu Art Film Studio.

Of course, then again, there are still many animators and leaders in the Modu Art Film Studio, who are also pursuing change.

In fact, it was already being explored in the early eighties.

It's a pity that for various reasons, this exploration was not very successful, resulting in a large number of excellent animation talents "leaving" in the late eighties.

I won't mention this matter for the time being.

Besides, when this animation veteran surnamed Cai finished narrating his opinion, everyone look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say.

It was Wang Ruoxu who was the first to stand up and break the embarrassment: "Ahem...... Mr. Cai, we all know what you said, and we promise to revise your comments, but can you consider the production time of our animated film? Now there are only four and a half months left until the final release. ”

"But these are all problems in animation, right? If we don't correct it seriously, it will affect the quality of this animation! ”

Regarding Wang Ruoxu's words, this senior surnamed Cai still insisted on his opinion.

Seeing this, He Yun also stood up at this time: "Let me say a few words!" Cai Lao, I know, you are a senior in the Modu Art Film Studio, and you have been engaged in animation design for almost 20 years, your attitude towards animation design, it must be right, and we fully understand, but now the times are different, time is a very important factor affecting the creation of Dao animation, since the time we plan to release is set during the Spring Festival, then this time cannot be later than that time, so it's better to do this......"

When He Yun said this, he paused deliberately, then glanced at everyone again, and then said: "Let's stop arguing about these useless things, or modify them according to Cai Lao, but Cai Lao, we have to say that it is okay, it can be modified, but some of the work after that must be completed by you and the people of your unit, and we will strictly abide by the contract to complete our own work." ”

"Uh....... This one..... Comrade He Yun, I'm afraid I can't do anything about this, because a few days ago, several people from our unit were transferred back, and it is a key animation project of the state, so ......."

The senior surnamed Cai was stunned for a moment, but said.

However, to He Yun's ears, this was just an excuse.

"That's all we have to do! Otherwise, we won't be able to release it during the Spring Festival, which is already stipulated in our contract, and I don't think you want your unit to violate the contract! ”

As soon as He Yun said this, the senior surnamed Cai's face changed instantly, and he immediately frowned, and his face also fell.

He looked at He Yun and set his eyes on Wang Ruoxu, but in the end he could only sigh deeply and choose to compromise.

"Oh well! Considering our actual situation, let's only modify part of it! ”

"That's right! Cai Lao, it's not that we don't cooperate, your thinking needs to be changed, for this animated film, we both want to make it better, but the conditions don't allow, we can only complete it with limited human resources and physical resources, so please forgive me! ”

"But don't worry, we will also consider some of your opinions!"

He Yun said that he finally persuaded this "stubborn" old man.

But to be honest, what he said is still worth revising if there is enough time.

But now, that's only a partial change.

After all, they don't have that much time.

Of course, quality must also be pursued, this is a matter of principle.

...........

After successfully convincing the other party, He Yun and Wang Ruoxu once again had an exchange on the animation release time of "The Origin of the White Snake".

In the end, the two unanimously decided to choose to release it on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Regarding this time, He Yun felt that it was neither early nor too late, whether it was in the south or the north.

And preferably on the same day, it will be released in major cinemas across the country.

In the early stage, a certain amount of money must be spent to promote this animated film.

You can even start warming up a month in advance.

Fortunately, this animated movie already has the cartoon "The Origin of the White Snake" in front, especially with the hit of CCTV, this cartoon has already resounded all over the country, and in the hearts of many children, this is a very good-looking movie.

By last Sunday, after the finale of this animation was broadcast, the ratings reached a new high, which made the leaders of the CCTV animation department very happy, not only visited Yunyi Animation in person, but also specially found He Yun, the screenwriter and the original author, and had a brief exchange on the next cooperation between the two sides.

According to the meaning of the leaders of the CCTV animation department, they want He Yun to continue to serve as an animation screenwriter and tailor a cartoon for them CCTV, whether it is the producer or the producer, they CCTV will complete it.

In this regard, He Yun thought about it for a while and finally agreed.

However, what he didn't expect was that when a certain leader of the CCTV animation department came to the door in the afternoon, he couldn't cry or laugh.

Looking at the manuscript in his hand, he smiled and muttered: "Let me be the screenwriter of the animated version of "Journey to the West"? This one....... I really think so highly of me! ”

To be honest, He Yun doesn't know when the CCTV version of the "Journey to the West" cartoon began to be prepared, but he knows the release time, and it was actually released in the late nineties.

And during the production period, it can be described as twists and turns, and the production company alone changed several times.

I heard that there are two versions of the first ten episodes, and the production time is as long as four or five years.

With such a large animation project, you can imagine how difficult it is.

As its screenwriter, what you have to consider is how to adapt the original work, which is the most worth considering.

But there are too many characters in Journey to the West, and the plot is also very long, he is really powerless.

"Forget it, I'll think about it for two days, and then tell them that I don't have the time, and I'm not suitable for this screenwriter!"

............

Regarding the matter of making He Yun the animation screenwriter of "Journey to the West", in fact, there is also a lot of controversy within CCTV, but in the end, the leaders unanimously made a decision, judging from He Yun's first two animation works, he has proven his ability.

However, even so, the opposition is still very strong, and most of the opponents have only one reason, that is, He Yun is too young to be able to convince the public.

Of course, this is actually just a superficial reason, in fact, the reason why everyone opposes it is because He Yun is a "layman".

As a writer, he came to serve as a "screenwriter", which is somewhat embarrassing.

Also, you say that a writer can do the job of a "screenwriter" so well, but these old-timers who were originally screenwriters want to be a foil, can you not respond to people?

For this reason, although many leaders are extremely optimistic about He Yun's talent, in the end, this matter has not been completely decided.

A few days later, when the leader of CCTV's animation department came to the door again, He Yun made it clear that he could not serve as a "screenwriter" for various reasons.

At the same time, he also said that he would be happy to help if needed, but the position of "screenwriter" has a lot of responsibilities, and he feels that he is not competent.

Regarding He Yun's answer, the leader of the CCTV Animation Department said with some pity: "Comrade He Yun, it's really a pity!" Then it's better like this, what about us, don't force it, we will arrange you to be one of the screenwriters of this cartoon, as for the chief screenwriter, we will choose a suitable candidate, you see this arrangement, is it okay? ”

"Forehead........ Wouldn't that be ........?"

"Then it's decided!" Without waiting for He Yun to finish speaking, the other party said directly to He Yun.

Seeing this scene, He Yun was directly dumbfounded.

I haven't agreed yet, have I?

Why are you going to let me call the shots?

"Forget it! One of the screenwriters is one of the screenwriters! It's better than me being a screenwriter by myself, or being the chief screenwriter. ”

He Yun shook his head slightly, and finally nodded in agreement.

In this way, after the matter was decided, within a few days, the other party called and informed He Yun to go to the meeting.

He Yun had just returned from Bayi Film Studio at this time, and he communicated with Liu Lao and others about some problems in the filming of the "Sharp Knife" TV series, and after successfully solving the shooting problems, he rushed to CCTV non-stop.

A huge conference room was full of people at the moment.

When He Yun walked in, many people's eyes turned to him.

In this regard, He Yun nodded slightly at them, and then sat down beside one person.

"Comrade He Yun, Comrade He Yun, your position is here, you should sit here!"

At this moment, a voice came, and He Yun took a look and found that it was an acquaintance.

That Director Yu.

Director Yu is the leader of the animation department, and his words naturally make most people look sideways.

He Yun was naturally extremely embarrassed, because the position he said was relatively forward, and the leaders usually sat there.

If he sits down, he will surely become "the target of the public."

"What should I do?" He Yun also hesitated for a while.

But after thinking about it, he finally sat down.

Seeing He Yun sitting beside him, Director Yu smiled at him and said, "Don't be nervous! This time, we are just doing a simple survey of the animation shooting of "Journey to the West", and the reason why I invited you here is to listen to the opinions of you screenwriters. ”

With that, he nodded to the other leader.

Seeing that He Yun had already sat in his place, the leader glanced at He Yun and the five people, and then said, "Today, we will have a meeting, and I will announce one thing first!" About the five screenwriters of our cartoon. ”

Comrade Zhang Songlin and Comrade Ling Shu 、....... and Comrade He Yun served as the screenwriter and script coordinator, and Comrade Zhang Songlin was responsible for the specific work. ”

As soon as this decision was announced, everyone immediately whispered.

But at this moment, a middle-aged man sitting on the other side of He Yun stretched out his hand towards He Yun and said with a smile: "Hello! Comrade He Yun, I have admired your name for a long time, my name is Ling Shu, a native of Hunan Province! ”

"Oh...... Hello! Hello! Comrade Ling Shu, I didn't expect that we are still half fellow countrymen! ”
