Chapter 555: A New Book Sets Sail!
Quadrangle.
Inside the hospital.
There were several people sitting at the moment.
He Yun walked over from the kitchen with tea.
"Let's have some tea!" After He Yun brought the teacup to everyone, he immediately glanced at Wang Ruoyun.
Wang Ruoyun immediately said to everyone: "Everyone sit down first, I'll go get something and come over." β
With that, he got up and left.
At this moment, He Yun smiled at everyone: "Mr. Liu, Mr. Xu, you have come from afar, and you are really embarrassed to be inconsiderate." β
"Mr. He is polite, it's good here, I think let's talk about business!" At this time, a man who looked to be in his forties said to He Yundao.
This person's name is Liu Ming, and he is the boss of Hairi Animation in the Special Administrative Region.
Speaking of Hairi Animation, this company can even be traced back to the mid-to-late 80s, at that time, the Modu Art Film Studio caused a large number of outstanding animation designers to leave the South Special Economic Zone because of internal contradictions.
Or rather, it's more appropriate to call it an animation studio.
They continue to receive orders from overseas, or cooperate with Jade Animation on the other side of Xiangjiang, and therefore, a very special phenomenon has been created in China, that is, state-owned animation is becoming more and more downhill, and foundries are becoming more and more popular, so that many state-owned units have begun to cooperate with them.
The most typical is the later CCTV version of the animation "Journey to the West", due to various reasons, the initial production of "Journey to the West" was participated by private animation companies.
Later, due to quality and other reasons, CCTV chose to give up and restarted production by its own animation production company, coupled with the support of Modu Art Film Studio, there was a CCTV version of the animation "Journey to the West".
At present, CCTV is also doing this, but it is still slightly different from the original time and space.
For example, Yunyi Animation also participated in the production, although it did not account for a large proportion, but it was still involved.
Of course, all of this is far away, but let's go back to the present.
The reason why Hairi Animation and Guangling Animation, another OEM animation company in the Special Economic Zone, visited today is actually for one purpose, that is, to reach further cooperation with Yunyi Animation.
Also, at present, the domestic animation share, Modu Art Film Studio still occupies a large share of production, followed by CCTV animation, and Kyoto animation.
In addition, private animation in Kyoto and the magic capital also occupies a certain proportion.
However, among the private animations, Yunyi Animation's status is very special.
Compared with other private animation companies, almost all of its internal employees have nothing to do with the Modu Art Film Studio, and it can be said that they are "self-made".
Other private animation production companies have more or less a background in the Magic City Art Film Studio.
In other words, most of the bosses or people behind the scenes of these private animation companies are from the Modu Art Film Studio.
Even if it's not, it's from the animation department of the Kyoto Film Academy, or the cradle of animation in the magic capital, the animation training college of the 60s.
It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a real professional birth.
I can't think about it, Yunyi animation is not so "professional".
After all, whether it is Wang Ruoyun or He Yun, the two core figures of the company, they have not done animation before, and even He Yun has nothing to do with it.
However, Yunyi Animation's current status in the domestic animation industry is unquestionable.
It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a "star of hope" in the animation industry.
It is precisely because of this that many animation companies are eager to cooperate with them at a deeper level.
And this is also the fundamental reason why the CEOs of their two production companies came to visit.
"Mr. Liu, I have no opinion on the cooperation you just proposed, in principle, but I still want to put forward a small precondition, that is, it must be when both parties are available, and I hope that Mr. Liu can understand our difficulties."
Indeed, He Yun does not want to cooperate, but once they cooperate, it is difficult for the two sides to achieve unity in thought, followed by the production time, often because of the company's plan, resulting in insufficient manpower, if there is an intention to cooperate at this time, it is embarrassing.
Just like the last cooperation with the Modu Art Film Studio, there was a disagreement between the two sides on the issue of supporting manpower, which led to an unpleasant quarrel.
Although Chang Guangxi didn't say anything, He Yun still couldn't help it.
Therefore, this cooperation, He Yun felt that it had to be explained in advance.
"It should be! You're welcome! Mr. He, Mr. Wang, I think this condition must be written into our cooperation agreement. β
"Mr. Liu is right, and I think so too." At this time, Xu Tiancheng of Light Spirit Animation also echoed him.
In his opinion, this is very necessary, after all, there is no guarantee that the situation He Yun said will not happen.
"Well, since the two CEOs agree, then we will discuss the other most important part of the tripartite cooperation, the distribution of benefits." He Yun didn't beat around the bush with the two, and directly confronted the two.
"I think it's divided equally or according to the amount of work! Specific animation projects are divided into specific divisions! The first to speak was Liu Ming of Hairi Animation.
In his opinion, this is very necessary, because for an animation project, it is possible that Hairi Animation only needs your assistance in production, and the workload is very small, just like outsourcing, I only need to subcontract a part of the production.
This kind of operation is still relatively common at the moment, and it is acceptable to both parties.
Of course, the premise is that the relevant cooperation agreement must be negotiated, otherwise after the production is completed, it will be impossible to deal with the distribution of interests between the two parties.
"I agree," Xu Tiancheng nodded at this time.
"I also agree with Mr. Liu and Mr. Xu!" Wang Ruoyun said at this time.
He Yun glanced at him, thought secretly for a moment, and felt that this proposal made some sense, so he nodded and did not object again.
In the following time, He Yun also negotiated with the two again on the relevant cooperation agreement.
Soon more than an hour passed.
When the three rounds of tea were drunk, Liu Ming suddenly said to He Yun: "I have another proposal, should we establish an animation association?" β
"Uh......"
Hearing this, He Yun was a little confused.
This proposal seemed good, but after thinking about it carefully, He Yun couldn't understand the benefits of doing so.
He didn't know Liu Ming's purpose in doing so.
Animation Association, this may be useful in the future, but at present, it is still an era dominated by state-run animation, and it is not very useful at all.
The second is that once this is done, is it necessary to pull the Modu Art Film Studio into this association?
What if they don't bother to get involved?
"I don't think there's a need for this, Mr. He, you said it!" Regarding Liu Ming's proposal, Xu Tiancheng shook his head slightly and directly denied it.
At this time, Wang Ruoyun also opened her mouth to say: "I also don't think it's necessary, at least not for now." β
Now that two people have raised clear objections, the next thing is to look at He Yun.
At this moment, He Yun thought for a while, but shook his head: "I also don't agree with the establishment of an animation association, now is not the best time." β
This three to one, Liu Ming was silent for a moment, couldn't help but sigh secretly, and didn't say anything more.
At this time, Xu Tiancheng said again: "Mr. He, Mr. Wang, in fact, we came here today, in addition to discussing cooperation, I also hope that you can serve as the screenwriter of an animation for us." β
"Oh...... Mr. Xu, please say, but I can't guarantee that I will have this creative time, and I will tell you two in my heart, I am preparing to write a new book recently, and I may not have time. β
That's right, He Yun is preparing a new book at the same time as he prepares a new paper.
I had a general idea of the general direction of the new book last year.
Now that I've been preparing for so long, it's time to restart the new book.
The subject of this new book is not science fiction or anything else, but realist literature.
To be precise, it is realist literature with a little scar literary nature.
It's okay to use non-mainstream literature to describe it.
After all, at present, this style and subject matter are not similar to mainstream literature.
"Oh...... All right! In that case, then I'll talk to Mr. He on the phone another day! I also have to go back to the SAR to discuss with the people in the company, but as for the general direction of the animation project, I can talk to Mr. He! β
"Here's the thing, it's not like the company has been doing OEM for a long time, and I want to make an original animation, not long ago, an employee of our company submitted an animation project production plan to me, or the script is more appropriate, but after I read the script, I think his script is still a little worse, but the idea is very good, therefore, I want Mr. He to personally help change this script, I have brought this script, Mr. He, you can take a look first......"
As he spoke, Xu Tiancheng took out a manuscript from the black leather bag he was carrying and handed it to He Yun.
After He Yun took it, he looked at it carefully.
He found out that this was actually a Chinese-like superman animation based on Ultraman.
In a way, it's not new at all.
On the contrary, it is a bit of an imitation of the anime style of Wakoku.
However, at the moment, this is the mainstream trend in the animation world.
It is undeniable that the animation of this neighboring country is indeed very good, and there are a lot of domestic imports, which will inevitably affect the change of the creative style of the domestic animation industry.
This includes the creation of the plot of the story.
However,Although the effect will be good,But it has had a huge impact on Guomanγ
This kind of influence is good and bad, but judging from the trend of Guoman in later generations, it is indeed very unfavorable.
At least in terms of world animation, Guoman has since disappeared from the world stage.
Chinese-style animation has lost its former glory.
Back then, ink animation, behind-the-scenes animation, stop-motion animation, etc., all kinds of classic works emerged one after another, and even became world-renowned.
But in later generations, no matter which animation it is, it is based on 3D, which has lost the charm of the original animation and the unique animation creation method of Huaxia.
Although some people may say that such a loss is worth it, some people even say that the original Chinese animation has long been unable to keep up with the trend of the times.
But can't you really keep up?
"Ahem......"
When Xu Tiancheng finished talking about the general story of the animation project, He Yun didn't know what to say, but said: "Mr. Xu, this is ...... You asked me to answer you now, I'm really difficult, or wait for me for a few days, I'll think about it! β
He Yun's words fell, but Wang Ruoyun continued He Yun's words and said: "Mr. Xu, the story you said, I think it's still very good, but I think it's still not advisable to blindly imitate the animation of the Japanese Kingdom, we must have our own things, whether it is the style of painting or the storyline, we must have the cultural connotation of our country." β
Speaking of this, he immediately set his eyes on He Yun: "He Yun, you said it!" β
"Hmm......" He Yun just mumbled and didn't say any more.
Obviously, his attitude is the same as Wang Ruoyun's.
And Liu Ming on the side also wanted to stop talking, and it was difficult to speak again.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the end, Xu Tiancheng still did not have a clear answer to this matter.
And He Yun did not agree to Xu Tiancheng's request for screenwriting.
A few days later.
Xu Tiancheng called He Yun again, this time he did not plan to ask He Yun to be the screenwriter, but to ask Wang Ruoyun to be the director.
In this regard, He Yun naturally has no opinion.
He discussed it with Wang Ruoyun and immediately responded to the matter.
And he began to write a new book.
So, in the following week, he began the creation of a preliminary outline.
The background of the new book is roughly set in the Republic of China period.
The main character is set as a postman.
The main line is set to the development and change of the postal industry.
It describes the various changes that the postman has experienced from the Republic of China to the present, including various turns in his life, as well as the changes in the postal industry in the context of the times, and even the changes in the living standards of the people in China under various eras.
In a simple sentence, it is to perform the microcosm of life in each era through the life experience of this postman.
As for the name, he didn't quite think of it right now, but he had three alternative names.
One of them is the use of wild geese as a metaphor
, called "Hong Yan".
The second is the name of the place where the protagonist lives - "Gaolinba"
As for the third, he directly named "Three Generations", implying three generations of postmen, the three most special eras, that is, the Republic of China period, the special period of the sixties, and the period of reform and opening up.
For these three alternative names, He Yun didn't think it was very suitable, but he couldn't think of a better one for a while.
Perhaps it would be more appropriate to use "The Postman" directly.
After all, in this new work, what runs through the whole text is the life experience of three generations of postmen, and the protagonist, as a grandfather, likes others to call him the postman the most, and the mantra is "the postman, the postman's soul, the postman's bridge connecting the two places." β
Moreover, in the last moments of his life, his favorite clothes were also the postman's uniform, and he was proud of it.
"Why don't I try to name The Postman first?" He Yun pondered for a while and couldn't help but say.
