Chapter 285: Finding His Home Ground Again
In the corridor of Pujiang Meiying Studio, although the lights along the way are dim, they are better than nothing.
You can see the whole leopard at a glance, and you can see from the wattage of the bulb above your head that behind the excellent work does not represent the generous benefit of the unit.
"The performance is good, both commercials are very well designed,"
Before going out, Director Xu specially called Jiang Shan out.
Faced with an art form that he has not seen in half his life, he must boast:
"Do a good job, the bureau currently attaches great importance to talents like you!"
"It's all your guidance!" At present, the comrades only dare to take money, not to take credit.
"There will be no outsiders here, so don't detain me."
"It's good for you to be uninhibited."
"Heh," Xu Muchun smiled slightly, and looked into the distance.
After getting along for a while, I still like the little comrade next to me who doesn't like to his tail:
"I'm going to work hard for you again tonight, I'm going to go to Aimin Food Factory to see later, tonight is the day when the second batch of new packaging will be shipped."
"What else do you care?"
"This time it's a lot of people, but it's a bit uneasy to take a look."
"I also talked to Manager Huang about this last night," in fact, Jiang Shan had long wanted to inquire: "I don't know if the comrades in Xiangjiang like the new packaging of our White Rabbit." ”
As soon as he mentioned this, Xu Ju was overjoyed: "Don't worry, it's better than expected." ”
Open the door, get in the car, and then close the door for Director Xu.
After Section Chief Han finished executing a set of smooth actions, he turned his head and handed a note to Jiang Shan: "Comrade Jiang Shan, this is your phone number." ”
"Huh? My home phone number? ”
He was confused when he said this, and outsiders knew the things he didn't know: "Where did the number come from?" I don't have a phone at all! ”
"I'm so busy today that I forgot to mention this to you,"
Section Chief Han, who had never found a chance, ran to the co-pilot as he spoke: "The matter of installing a phone for your home was specially explained by the Xu Bureau." ”
After speaking, before Jiang Shan could react, the black car slipped away.
……
looked at the factory door closed again, and looked down at the note in his hand.
Section Chief Han's last two sentences made him suddenly understand that the phone he had never been willing to pretend to have entered the door in this way. ”
A light breeze blew, and the trembling Jiangshan turned around and ran to the studio.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Liu Xiaoqing holding a lunch box: "Why have you been there for so long?" ”
Pan Hong's posture is similar: "If it's too late, don't think about eating anything." ”
"Let's eat," Zhu Fengbo didn't leave, raised his hand and beckoned to Jiangshan: "Keep it for you!" ”
In fact, there was no need for her to remind him, Jiang Shan's hand had already rushed to a meal on the table:
"How's it taste?"
"Don't say it," Chen Peisi was so reluctant to even raise her head after eating: "The food in the canteen of the municipal organ tastes really good." ”
A few of the people sitting in the table nodded their heads in agreement as they ate.
Earlier, just when everyone was shouting for the success of Jiangshan, Section Chief Han walked into the house with a few boxes of supper prepared by the canteen of the Light Industry Bureau.
Jiang Shan was really hungry this time, and he ate so fragrantly: "It seems that we have to come tomorrow." ”
In terms of editing, the two backbones of the American film studio are still very experienced.
Professional film cutting machine, there are also two in the factory.
But these just shot films had to be sent to Pujiang Film Technology Factory to develop the negatives first.
After that, after waiting for the sample to be sent back to the factory, you can watch the sample on the editing machine and mark the editing.
"I'll shoot the video of you drawing with your hands in a moment,"
It's all a pre-assigned task, so Duan Xiaoxuan also made a shooting plan early: "Wait until tomorrow morning, let's cut it together." ”
"You'll see the dailies tomorrow morning?" Jiangshan felt faster than he expected.
"The current technology factory is all automatically rinsed and dried, like the one just filmed, you don't even need to consider the sound, and the technology factory will soon be able to produce a film."
"That relationship is good, what Xu Ju is pursuing now is a fast."
"That's right, Xiao Jiang,"
As soon as it came to the sound, the arranger of the American Film Studio, Mr. Jin Fuzai, became interested: "Have you considered what kind of background music to use for your two commercials?" ”
"Teacher Jin," Jiang Shan asked him with a smile, "Do you have any good suggestions?" ”
"It depends on what you're asking for,"
Just now, after looking at the set of digital chains in Jiangshan, Jin Fuzai felt that his inspiration appeared again.
"We're all laymen here,"
Jiang Shan and Huang Hua smiled at each other: "You are an expert in this area, I listen to you." ”
"Hey," Zhu Fengbo's eyes lit up and said, "Xiao Jiang, why don't you ask Mr. Jin to help make up two soundtracks?" ”
"I think I'm afraid that Mr. Jin won't be able to spare his hand!"
"That's not true," Kim Fu-jae was not pretentious at all: "After helping the music for the film "Snow Child", I happen to have some time. ”
"So you said yes!"
"Okay, let's try to make up two paragraphs for you."
"Great," Jiang Shan clapped his hands happily:
"There's your soundtrack, plus the footage of two photography teachers." The two advertisements of "Chinese pencils" are difficult to succeed in! ”
As a composer who graduated from Pujiang Music, Mr. Kim Fujae's name is often hung on the titles of many well-known cartoons.
"Nezha in the Sea", "Three Monks", "Avanti", "Baolian Lantern", "Shuke and Beta", ...... and the series "The Merry Story of Crotch Lane" and "Jigong".
Each one of them is a work that can be screamed.
Among them, Jiangshan's favorite has to be "Landscape Love" cooperated by Jin Fuzai and Gong Yi.
In 1988, when the United States Film Studio decided to shoot the ink animation "Landscape Love", it entrusted the important task of arranging the music to Kim Fuzai.
The first thing that came to Jin Fuzai's mind was Gong Yi, his classmate when he was in the middle school attached to the Conservatory of Music.
Because, only his guqin level can support the pinnacle of this ink animation.
Like the expression of "The Pastoral Flute", there is no dialogue in the whole film "Landscape Love", which completely relies on the artistic conception of the ink painting and the sound of the piano throughout the film.
Gong Yi, a guqin master, directly interpreted a "Landscape Love" into a classic that cannot be surpassed so far with a guqin "Zhengyin" left by Li Qingzhao.
The score of this "Landscape Love" has also become a must-play score for the guqin examination in the future.
Coincidentally, "Landscape Love", like the current "Snow Child", is an animated film with the participation of Jin Fuzai and Duan Xiaoxuan.
"When the sample comes out, I'll help you compose the music," Jin Fuzai said with a smile, "It shouldn't take much effort." ”
Jiang Shan nodded vigorously, looking forward to it.
"Xiao Jiang," Duan Xiaoxuan also came over and asked, "What are your requirements for editing?" ”
"Requirements......" For such a small advertisement, the emphasis is on a fast forward: "You have to be willing to cut it, and you can show the audience a lively look." ”
"Understood," Duan Xiaoxuan nodded: "It's similar to our factory's films, no matter how meticulous the preparation of the process is, only the most exciting part can be left." ”
Jiang Shan nodded: "That's right, just leave the best part."
"Advertising," Qu Jianfang said he could understand: "It just wants to grow, but it can't grow,"
"Hehe," Jiang Shan was a little embarrassed in the face of the support of several teachers: "It's just too much to delay your work." ”
With that, he glanced at Avanti on the prop rack.
"Where are you delayed," Qu Jianfang also looked at the prop rack: "The movies of "Avanti" have already been released, and there is no need for those things. ”
"Stopped shooting?" Jiang Shan remembers that there are still many episodes in the future: "Didn't you say that there are still a lot of wonderful stories unfinished?" ”
"......" The chopsticks in Qu Jianfang's hand stopped, and he looked at Jiang Shan in surprise: "How did you know about this?" ”
"I ...... That's not ...... It's not what you said before! ”
"Am I right to you?" Qu Jianfang himself doesn't remember, so he guessed that he missed a sentence.
"Your teacher Qu really wants to make another one," Duan Xiaoxuan felt that there was nothing he couldn't say: "But, let him modify Avanti's image before filming!" ”
"Why change?"
Chen Peisi, who was finally willing to drop the rice bowl, was the first to say that she hadn't figured it out: "How interesting Avanti's appearance is!" ”
"I feel that every character in this movie is very well designed." As soon as she entered the door, Pan Hong picked it up and played for a while.
"Besides," Liu Xiaoqing felt, "we're all used to it, and this change will definitely be awkward." ”
"The above wants to be changed?" Jiang Shan was surprised: "Is it the request of the special factory director?" ”
"I didn't say that,"
As the door of the studio was pushed open, Tewei and Yan Ding walked in one after the other.
"Old factory director," Qu Jianfang quickly stood up: "Why are you here?" ”
Yan Dingxian raised a net of oranges in his hand: "The factory director is worried that you are working too hard, so he will send you oranges." ”
So soon, a few people who had just finished supper began to gather around the table to eat fruit again.
"Avanti's image problem, it's really not what I said," Tewei, who was chewing a petal of orange in his mouth, had to explain it to himself.
"The old factory director really didn't say this," Qu Jianfang said, "It's the other leaders in the factory who criticize Avanti's bad image." ”
"I wondered, isn't the reaction of the masses very good."
"Anyway, we all think it's good," Chen Peisi turned her face and looked around: "I'm not wrong, right?" ”
Uh-huh, a few people in the room immediately responded.
"Speaking of which," Qu Jianfang said of Avanti in detail:
"The characters in this puppet film can really stand the test of the people. Every film in our unit has to go to the field to collect style. ”
"Well," said Tewei, who was also very sure of the other party's work: "They brought back a lot of local stories, all of which were very interesting, and one of them was a story about buying shade, which was also very exciting." ”
Yan Dingxian: "There is also the treasure donkey." ”
Qu Jianfang: "It's a lot more fun!" ”
"Since it's so fun," Jiang Shan simply suggested, "Then shoot it all!" ”
"Shoot them all?" Tewei waved his hand: "You can discuss a sequel, if you shoot it, it will become an animated series." ”
Before the appearance of the series "Avanti", there had not been a single animated series in the country.
"Avanti", which only has 13 episodes, was filmed for eight years, which shows how much resistance Qu Jianfang encountered at that time.
"Isn't it very good to make a series, Disney's series of cartoons makes more money," Jiang Shan strongly suggested: "Speaking of which, there are no cartoon series in our country yet, right?" ”
Hearing this, Tewei and Qu Jianfang's eyes lit up at the same time, but they soon darkened again.
"The idea is very good, but the above will not agree," Tewei was not afraid to give a few people sitting there, shaking the family background:
"First of all, the cost can't be approved, cartoons and short films are not as good as movies, and they can't be sold separately."
"Xiao Jiang," Yan Dingxian is an old acquaintance of Jiangshan: "At present, there are many films in our factory that can't apply for filming funds, let alone serials." ”
Tewei: "I know that we are so late, why are you here in the factory?" ”
Jiang Shan: "Didn't you send us oranges?" ”
"That's just one of them," Tewei smiled.
"Tomorrow, the British BBC TV station will come to our factory to discuss the cooperation of an animated film, they will contribute the funds, and we will contribute the technology."
"Really? And this kind of good thing? ”
"I heard that the script is ready!"
You don't have to guess to know that "Strange Tales from the Book of Heaven" is coming.
After watching China's "Havoc in Heaven", the British BBC was shocked.
So he decided to co-produce a similar animated film with Pujiang Meiying Studio.
But when everything was ready for the studio, the British side announced that it would not do it.
The American Film Studio decided to do it itself in a fit of anger, and it was constantly fried by later generations of "Book from Heaven".
"The Film Bureau attaches great importance to it, so that the factory must do a good job of reception," Yan Dingxian looked at Jiang Shan and said: "I'll come over with the director to meet and see if there is anything else that I haven't prepared to go to." ”
Cold night, warm house.
The domestic association upholds a highly welcoming attitude towards any foreign investment.
"Outsiders are outsiders after all," Jiang Shan inconveniently revealed too much: "The one who can really rely on us has to be ourselves." ”
Tewei felt that there was something in Jiangshan's words, and he also knew that this kid had a lot of tricks.
So he asked: "Xiao Jiang, there are no outsiders here, you can tell me, how should we rely on ourselves?" ”
Yan Dingxian had already guessed: "Comrade Xiao Jiang, you don't want to suggest that the factory set up an animation advertising department, right?" ”
"It's a good idea, and it's a good idea to set up an animation advertising department." Jiangshan wanted to applaud Deputy Director Yan.
"We should have one in Pujiang," Huang Hua revealed a message to the studio: "Two years ago, an advertising company in Xiangjiang filmed an animated advertisement for White Rabbit Milk Candy, and the production cost alone cost 100,000 yuan. ”
"How much?"
All the employees of the American Film Studio in the audience shouted: "Our unit can't spend so much on a movie?" ”
"Foolish," Qu Jianfang couldn't imagine: "When filming "Avanti", they all can be saved, all the rags bought in the fabric store, and the stockings on the puppet's face, they are all bought cheapest. ”
"That's why I said," Jiang Shan emphasized again: "It is still necessary to set up an animation advertising department, and the other is ......"
"What's the other one?"
"Since the establishment of our American Film Studio, we have also made a lot of cartoons, why not develop the periphery of cartoons?"
"What is ......?"
Before Yan Ding could speak first, Tewei asked directly: "What are the peripherals of the cartoon?" ”
"Disney and Japan in the United States - Ben Astro Boy, every once in a while will launch a batch of cartoons of the same toy,"
Jiang Shan decided to help the American Film Studio first bring up the preview: "Including your factory's comic strips, these are called animation peripherals." ”
"I think of it," Yan Dingxian immediately thought of one: "For a period of time last year, the plastic toys in "Havoc in the Sky" appeared on the market. ”
"Yes, yes," Jiang Shan never mentioned that he did it himself: "But it's so simple, it's not interesting, we have so many art technicians in our factory, it's definitely no problem to design a few toys." ”
"If you want to say that......" Tewei thought about it for a while: "This matter will definitely not be able to rely on our factory alone, we have to cooperate with the toy factory, but I don't know how much profit there is." ”
"Don't underestimate the profits of these peripherals," Jiang Shan said truthfully: "If you do it well, you can make more money than making movies." ”
"Can you make so much?"
"You can go to Japan-Ben to inquire about the rag dolls, drinking glasses, stickers, school bags, and pencil cases of Astro Boy...... For more than 10 years, it has been a bestseller every year. ”
"Can you make a water cup?"
In 1950, a young man in Japan opened a doll factory using waste cloth from a relative's factory.
Although the factory is small, the name is not sloppy.
After flipping through the book for a long time, I finally saw China's "Liutao".
One of the sentences, "Forever is not easy", made the boss deeply satisfied, which just met his wish for thousands of generations and the original intention.
As a result, this rag head factory has a well-known name "Bandai".
From the small model of the "Toyota" car in 1956 to the "Astro Boy" in 1963......
Bandai's products have always revolved around the concept of "periphery".
But if it's a little famous, it has to rub it off.
In the end, it became a full-day affair involving entertainment, the Internet, and anime...... The largest comprehensive company in peripheral products.
"It's like "Nezha in the Sea", which was just released last year, we can launch a Nezha gacha."
"What's a gacha?"
"Didn't the third prince come from the beaten eggs," Jiang Shan drew on the paper on the spot: "Let's make a plastic egg, and after unscrewing it, a Nezha will pop out of it." ”
"Hey, this is interesting," Yan Dingxian was also interested: "I can also design it as a lotus." ”
Qu Jianfang directly started the painting: "It has to be the kind of lotus that is closed first, and then the clockwork is tightened." ”
Jiang Shan and Chen Peisi raised their hands together and gestured: "It's blooming directly." ”
Together, the whole studio immediately came alive again.
"As for the "Snow Child" that will be released in your factory soon," Zhu Fengbo helped to find a way:
"I like it when I look at it, and if I can have a rag doll like that, I'm definitely willing to pay for it."
In 2021, a promotional film designed by the United States Film Studio for the Winter Olympics made all the post-70s and 80s generations shout "Ye Qing Hui".
Monkey King said "My old grandson is here", and put Snow Child, Hulu Baby, Nezha, Dansheng, Nine-colored Deer, Black Cat Sheriff, Avanti ...... I took them all back.
Many netizens were moved by the reappearance of the "Snow Child".
They all said: "I cried for you back then, but I didn't think that after many years, I would still cry for you." ”
"So you've been alive all along!"
"I'm too old to see this kind of scene."
"This is the romance that belongs to Chinese children."
"Seventy-two changes, three heads and six arms are back together."
"My childhood, my national comics."
"U.S. Studio YYDS."
This time, not only was the cold rice copied by the American Film Studio not scolded again, but it also made the American Film Studio, which had been frustrated for a long time, find its home field again.
