Experience the God of Life

Chapter 198 [The vest was stripped for no reason]

The two took a car and walked around the nearby coast together.

Then Jiang Ji sent Yin Yinyin back to Yingge Hotel.

In the following time, Yin Yinyin still stayed in the magic city for convenience, and continued to practice singing and study every day.

Jiang Ji, on the other hand, returned to the Demon City and continued to monitor his new film intensively.

According to the current shooting speed, if there is no accident, it can be completed before November.

After that is editing and post-production, sound effects, special effects.

After finishing everything, it is estimated that it will premiere on New Year's Day.

But before the premiere, there was a problem that Jiang Ji had to face.That's the movie premiered on New Year's Day, and it's basically a gathering of big names.

For these movies, a few months before their release, various trailers were released to fill up the audience's expectations.

And Jiang Ji has not done any promotion for the new movie until now.

It is obviously impossible and unscientific to break out of the encirclement with this lineup and win by the quality of the script.

No matter what kind of movie, it is inseparable from publicity.

The senior executives of the group attached great importance to this new movie, so they were a little worried. They held a meeting and called the senior executives over.

As the chairman of the board, Jiang Ji is also the general director of the film, so naturally he also has to participate.

The proposal of the executives is to first cut a trailer based on the existing material and promote it first.

Jiang Ji agreed.

The movie has already been filmed in sevens and eighties, and it's time to make it public.

Although Jiang Ji knew that the effect of this trailer was probably not great.

At most, it is to use the celebrity effect of the stars to attract a wave of fans' attention.

After all, this kind of police and gangster film itself does not have a large audience, unlike superhero movies and anime movies, which allow the audience to have a strong interest just by watching the trailer.

But Jiang Ji is not worried about the box office, he never thought of using "Infernal Affairs" to compete with other blockbuster films for the box office title on New Year's Day.

I just want to open a good reputation for Yunji culture.

For a movie to become the box office champion of the same period, it does not have to have the quality of the script.

It has too many factors in it, even luck.

So Jiangji's idea is to compare Buddhism.

At the beginning, Jiang Ji's idea was just to make a good movie, show it to the audience, and make money by the way.

But with the passage of time, Jiang Ji's vision gradually expanded, and his ideas were no longer as pure as they were at the beginning, and he even only wanted to use "Infernal Affairs" as a springboard.

His eyes were set on the Spring Festival stalls four months later.

The Spring Festival file is the stage for Jiangji to hit the box office champion.

The difficulty is undoubtedly much, much more difficult than the New Year's Day file.

Spring Festival movies can be said to be a stage for heroes to compete for hegemony.

The major film companies spend money, just like flowing water, investing more, just to get more returns.

Jiang Ji also had the idea of ​​spending money.

However, when others spend money, they spend money on special effects, and invite big stars.

Moreover, the cost of inviting a big star is almost half of the other investment in the entire movie.

But what Jiang Ji was about to release on the Spring Festival was an animated movie!
Hearing that Jiangji was going to release an animated film on the Spring Festival, the senior executives of the group nodded at first.

Because the recent domestic animation film market is indeed in a good situation.

Huaguo's animation industry, due to some special reasons, has been silent for many years, and has been making animations for younger ages.

And as the country becomes stronger and stronger, people can come into contact with more and more entertainment works, and more and more animation works are imported from abroad. Young people who are influenced by these animation works have better domestic animation works. The craving became more and more intense.

Basically, as long as the title of Guoman is used, the quality of animation works and scripts are good, and no obvious shortcomings can be found.

It will be promoted by fans of ACG culture.

Get blown up.

Under this general trend, more and more companies have begun to invest in the animation film market.

Jiang Ji can have this idea, and everyone agrees.

Until they realized that the "Spring Festival stalls" mentioned by Jiang Ji did not refer to the Spring Festival stalls in 2022.

It's the Spring Festival file in 2021!
"The Spring Festival file in 2021? Isn't that 4 months later?"

"Ah, this? Director Jiang, this, this is almost impossible to complete."

The person in charge of Yunji Animation stood up directly and said with a wry smile: "Director Jiang, what you said is too difficult and almost impossible to realize. Our company has also produced many animation works over the years, and there is a process. "

"From the planning, to the script, to the determination of the character design, and the determination of the style. Then the animation production starts. The process before the official production alone takes a month or two, sometimes even longer."

"And the animation production process is even longer. Finishing an 80-minute animated film in one year is already a rush. It is impossible to complete and release it within four months!"

The person in charge patiently explained all this to Jiang Ji.

Of course Jiang Ji knew the procedures he was talking about.

"Manager Kang, I know what you mean. Actually, what I mean is, suspend all animation projects in our company and concentrate on this one."

"what?"

Manager Kang, the person in charge of Yunji Animation, was stunned.

Suspend existing projects, what the hell?

Many of these projects are already being serialized cartoons, and have a considerable part of the audience on the Internet.It is also the painstaking effort of the staff of the entire animation company who have worked together countless days and nights.

In the end, Jiang Ji actually said that he would suspend it?

Manager Kang naturally disagreed, but he could only say nicely: "Director Jiang, how can this work? These projects have devoted a lot of effort to the company, and they have always been profitable over the years. I don't Understood, why the pause."

"Ok, I know."

Jiang Ji nodded and said, "I know about it, that's why I said it's a pause, not a stop."

Manager Kang was at a loss for words, and said again: "But, even if we start a new project with the strength of the company, it is not easy to complete a work within 4 months. There are many parts that cannot be rushed. For example, the script, For example, character design, such as storyboarding, voice actor decision, etc., etc., the preliminary work is quite time-consuming."

Hearing this, everyone else in the meeting room nodded. They all know the process of making animation very well, and there is really no rush for preparations.

"You don't have to worry about this, Manager Kang. Mingyu, send the plan and script to everyone."

On the side, Jiang Ji's assistant, Xie Mingyu, nodded upon hearing the words.

Then he picked up the materials that had been prepared on the side, and placed them on the desks of the group's senior management.

Everyone was a little surprised.

Impressively written on it is "Spirited Away Planning Book", as well as the script of Spirited Away, and the storyboard.

Jiang Ji signaled that everyone can watch it first, and then continue talking after watching it.

Everyone started to read it.

The more you read it, the more surprised you are.

Because, Jiang Ji has almost prepared all the pre-animation work.And it's done pretty well.

Shareholders at the scene, even those who know nothing about animation storyboards, can understand Jiangji's storyboards like reading comics.

Thanks to mastering the skills of painting, Jiang Ji began to paint the storyboard, which does not require too many details, and the speed is very fast, and the brushwork is also very accurate.

As for this "Spirited Away", it is only a tentative name.

Jiang Ji hasn't decided what name to use yet, so he tentatively uses the name of the original film.

This is also an animated film with a super high score that Jiang Ji saw in "Ordinary MP4".

The original film is the work of a director named Hayao Miyazaki in Neon Country.

It's well thought out and the plot is simple and easy to understand.

Even if it is watched by four generations, old, middle-aged, young and young, they can find what they like to watch from it, and keep watching it patiently.

After Jiang Ji watched it, he knew that this animation, in another world, is definitely a palace-level work.

It's really a lot of effort to be able to achieve such a common appreciation.

However, if you want to remake it in this world, you can't copy the plot and characters' locations exactly like "Infernal Affairs".

The original film was set in the Neon Kingdom, but Jiang Ji did his best to adapt it into the background of China.

Most of the mythological elements of the original film are taken from the local mythological system of the Neon Kingdom.

Jiang Ji was directly changed to the Shan Hai Jing myth system most familiar to Chinese people.

As long as the core concept and plot of this anime remain unchanged, the final film will not have much impact.

This kind of film, in the hands of the conscientious production team, is the strongest weapon to earn word of mouth.

And in the hands of black-hearted capitalists, it is a money leek harvester.

Jiangji is right in the middle of the two, not only want word of mouth, but also earn money.

in the conference room.

Looking at the script and storyboard of the plan given by Jiang Ji, his firm heart was shaken.

This is an excellent script, infinitely better than the sub-supplied animation they are currently doing.

It tells the story of a girl named Chihiro. After experiencing many adventures, her parents were turned into masters by magic, and she was deprived of her name and changed to Xiaoqian.Later, she found her real name, Chihiro, and helped her parents find themselves, contacted the pig-changing magic, and returned to the real story.

This is where the title "Spirited Away" comes from.

On the surface it is an adventure plot, but it contains a lot of life philosophy. It not only tells about a girl who loses herself and finds herself again, but also satirizes many phenomena in reality through the film.

Moreover, the value conveyed is to attract people to be kind.

This is a truly excellent, soulful work!
"Director Jiang, I understand. If it's this script, I believe the complaints in the company will be much less."

"Okay, then I will leave it to you. I will hold another meeting with everyone in the animation company tomorrow."

"Okay Director Jiang, don't worry, I will do my best to finish it with the best quality in the fastest time!"

Manager Kang looked at the script, and a look of heat flashed in his eyes.

He dare not promise to finish it within four months, because after the meeting, the most experienced production team will predict the completion time.

But at least it's a really good piece of work.

A work that makes people really want to put their heart and soul into it.

In the following time, live-action and animated film projects were put on the agenda.

Jiang Ji did not completely entrust the task to the original production team of Yunji Animation.

The original production team was originally engaged in children-oriented animation. It is almost impossible to complete such a long work.

So Jiang Ji invited two of the most professional domestic studios with successful [-]D animation cases to help.

The staff size of the entire production team directly reached thousands of people.

This kind of money burning speed is no less than a large investment.

Of course, it was impossible for Jiang Ji himself to pay so much money, nor could he afford it.

But most of the people he knew around him were people who could afford the money. Li made a wave of investment in the upper circles of the demon city, and almost everyone responded. In a few days, he got enough start-up funds.

At the same time, the trailer of "Infernal Affairs" was put into public view.

The news that Fang Zegang was sent to prison because of Jiang Ji's brave actions before.

The public has paid a certain amount of attention to Yunji Culture, seeing that Yunji Culture released a movie about police and robbers.

Immediately awakened the memory of the melon they ate a few days ago.

For a while, it attracted a lot of attention.

The response to the trailer of "Infernal Affairs" exceeded Jiang Ji's expectations.

And during this time.

Yin Yinyin's fans also made some moves, and this move was aimed at Jiang Ji.

After listening to all of Yin Yinyin's original songs, Yin Yinyin's fans realized that most of Yin Yinyin's original songs, especially the good ones, were composed by a man called "Midnight Pig Butcher".

This magical stage name casts a veil of mystery on Jiang Ji.

Fans are infinitely curious about who the lyrics and composer of this Midnight Pig Slaughter Man are.

In the beginning, the voice of this kind of discussion was still very small, but as the day of the second issue of "The Voice" approached.People's voices are getting louder and louder.

In Yin Yinyin's daily microblog, there are always people begging Yin Yinyin to talk about this "Midnight Pig Slaughter Man".

And every time this kind of comment is the one with the most likes and the most heated discussions.

Yin Yinyin saw these comments, but did not give any response.

Because Jiang Ji said that he wanted to keep a low profile and didn't want to be a figure in the public eye.

Yin Yinyin also tacitly avoided talking about it.

But Yin Yinyin didn't say anything, it doesn't mean the fans just gave up.

Soon, the smart and persistent fans began to check Yin Yinyin's followers one by one on Weibo.

In the end, the fans locked in a user called "eating, eating, eating, eating, eating, eating, eating, eating, eating, eating, eating, eating, eating, eating, eating, eating, eating, eating, eating, eating, eating, eating, eating, eating, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat".

The reason is that this user once reposted a Weibo eight years ago.

This is a Weibo spoof video from several years ago. The title of the video is "My roommate sings late at night, even a pig can't make such a tragic sound!".

The content of the video is a boy holding a broom in a university dormitory, singing with emotion.

I don't know what the song was, but the boy sang with great devotion, his heart-piercing voice was simply mentally polluted, and after listening to it for a long time, it became a bit magical.

This kind of video, with the title, does have an effect that makes people laugh.

But if you look at it from the perspective of 2020, this kind of video is not really funny.

However, the time when this Weibo was forwarded was in 2012, 8 years ago.

At that time, the laughing points of netizens were generally not that high, and Jiang Ji was only ten years old at the time. Watching this kind of video, he laughed so hard that he couldn't help but laugh.

So I chose my screen name as "Midnight Pig Slaughter Man".

Yin Yinyin's fans used the method of elimination to finally determine that the user of Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi was the Midnight Pig Butcher himself.

Jiang Ji didn't know what happened on Weibo.

He didn't open Weibo until the trailer of "Infernal Affairs" was promoted on Weibo, wanting to check the situation.

It turns out that my Weibo has somehow gained thousands of followers.
