Nanxianyu, Beichukuang, the shadow is in the center, there is no problem with this sentence!

And when the news swiped the screen.

Countless professionals in the animation film industry in various continents couldn't help but cast their attention.

"Shadow is going to be an animated movie?"

"Isn't this man a cartoonist?"

"Don't he think that animated movies and comics are the same thing?"

"Have you ever heard of a cartoonist who changed his career to make an animated film, and it was a great success?"

"Does Old Pi count?"

"Old Pi doesn't count. Although he is an animation director and can also draw manga, his manga is entirely for animation."

"Cartoonists making animated movies are similar to TV directors making movies, but the difficulty is undoubtedly more exaggerated."

"These are not the key points. The point is that animated films have been in a recession for the past few years."

"With the improvement of special effects technology, audiences are less and less fond of going to the cinema to watch animated films. Only those top animation film companies can still attract audiences. After all, the animated films of those few companies are real. It’s good-looking, better than a live-action movie.”

"Can he do better than those animation companies?"

"At a time like this, he should be the god of his own manga, and he's earning a lot of money, so why take the risk of wading into this muddy water?"

……

Yes.

Animation films have become more and more sluggish in recent years, and many practitioners have begun to switch to other jobs.

Mainly the impact of those blockbuster special effects:

When there is a choice, those blockbusters with gorgeous and explosive special effects are far more attractive to audiences than animated movies.

Even in the cognition of many people:

Animated movies are like cartoons.

Since they are all cartoons, wouldn't it be nice to watch "Doraemon" at home?

Even if someone goes to watch it, it must be to make the children happy. After all, children have a natural enthusiasm for animation.

The driving force supporting the development of this industry is mainly the surrounding area.

If the peripherals sell well, even the animation box office losses can be made up from the peripheral revenue.

Yes.

In the past few years, animated films have basically been directed at the surrounding areas.

Under such circumstances, if Shadow just wants to make money, there is no need to make any animated movies at all.

……

As for the voices from the outside world, Lin Yuan didn't pay much attention to them.

joke.

The animated movies I exchanged with the system are all classic masterpieces that are popular on earth.

Who says animated movies are inferior to live-action movies?

Although the market cake is indeed relatively small, but the small cake means that there are not many people sharing the cake.

It boils down to just because:

Most animation film practitioners can't make enough wonderful works.

In fact.

Even on Earth, the live-action movie market crushes the animation market.

This Lin Yuan admitted.

However, animated movies always exist, and every now and then, there will be a blockbuster, the kind that is so popular.

In the West there is Disney and the like.

There are Neon Miyazaki Makoto Shinkai and others in the East.

Even in China, there are works like "The Return of the Great Sage".

Again.

The production of animated films is difficult and risky, but isn't there still a few animation film companies in Blue Star who are crazy about occupying this market?

Lin Yuan already understood.

Blue Star has a total of five top animation film companies that can be called very powerful. Their status in the animation film circle is hardly weaker than Disney on Earth!

The animation film market has been divided up by these five companies.

People in the animation film industry would never have imagined that Lin Yuan's biggest goal in making animation films is to make Ying Ying and Xian Yu Chukuang famous, and these five companies are the biggest goals!

Lin Yuan wants to grab the cake from these five animation film companies!

Since these five companies can make animated films that the whole world likes, then Lin Yuan is sure to do it too!

of course.

Before this.

First of all, Lin Yuan wanted to figure out what to do for Chasing Shadow's first animated film.

this one?

Or that one?

Or just this!

Lin Yuan scanned the works purchased in his system warehouse, and finally chose the first target of Chasing Shadow.

Robot, Wall-E!

Chapter 95 I am the shadow

Lin Yuan chose the robot WALL-E. The movie with the robot WALL-E as the protagonist is called "Robot Story".

Why choose this one?

The ubiquitous sci-fi elements in the first reason movies!

This year, Weizhou joined the merger, and the science fiction novels that had a great market in Weizhou began to attract the attention of all continents.

Coupled with Lin Yuan's own help.

Science fiction has become one of the most popular buzzwords at the moment.

Making sci-fi movies at this time is considered to be in line with the current trend.

And compared to this.

The second reason is more critical:

Because the public reputation of this movie is very explosive!

It is the first time for Shadow to make an animated film, and first of all, he must fight a beautiful word-of-mouth battle!

Once my word-of-mouth has improved, the road ahead will be easier.

In terms of word-of-mouth, which animation movie on earth has a word-of-mouth reputation, and how many of them are better than "Robot Story"?

This is a masterpiece rated by 1150130 people on Douban, and finally scored 9.3 points!

Although some users of Douban are sometimes quite annoying, but overall it is still of great reference value, not to mention that this animated film has also won Oscars, Golden Globes, Annie Awards and Saturn Awards. International awards.

Science fiction + word of mouth!

This combination of punches will be Shadow's first shot into the animation film industry.

Of course word of mouth is not enough.

The box office of this movie is also very good.

I just don't know how much box office Wall-E can get in Blue Star.

After all, the box office performance of Earth's movies can only be used as a reference for Blue Star. There are too many factors that affect the box office performance. It is not too strange to be higher or lower than Earth's.

Leave that alone.

Now that the goal is set, it must be done well.

Lin Yuan officially started writing the script.

With the explosive hand speed, the script was basically completed without delaying Lin Yuan's time.

noon that day.

Lin Yuan handed the script to Jin Mu:

"Let's make a project."

"Is the script finished?"

"Ah."

"How do you do everything so fast?"

"Wasting time is wasting life."

"But we haven't hired a director yet!"

After the acquisition of this animation film company, although Kaneki managed to keep the technical staff, all the directors left!

Who knew Lin Yuan was so fast?

He had just recruited a group of new department leaders, and before he even had time to find a new director, he wrote the script and urged himself to start the project quickly.

Lin Yuan: "How long will it take to find a director?"

Kaneki: "If we just want to find an animation director with average ability, it may take a few days, but for the first time we make an animation film, we must find a first-rate animation director, but most of the first-rate animation film directors are in the hands of In the hands of the five major animation film companies, we need time to find, how about you wait for me for a month?"

Lin Yuan: "If you can't wait that long, just find an ordinary director."

Kaneki's expression turned serious: "I strongly don't recommend the boss to do this. Ordinary directors have very limited abilities, and animated films test the ability of directors. Do we need to be in such a hurry?"

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said:

"It's okay, just don't let him be the chief director. If the ability is not as good as a first-class director, it will be no problem for the other party to be an assistant director."

"Then who will be the chief director?"

"What do you think about me?"

Lin Yuan made a proposal that stunned Jin Mu.

……

It took Jin Mu a long time to recover, and said quietly: "It's more reliable for me to find an ordinary director outside, at least I can guarantee that the other party is a professional."

"I want to try."

Lin Yuan just came up with such an idea, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he could do it!

To know.

Lin Yuan has taught himself many majors with the help of energy potions, most of which are related to the career direction of the three vests. Among them is a lot of theoretical knowledge of animation directors, and he does not know how many books he has read for this on weekdays.

"I object."

Jin Mu would not easily question Lin Yuan's ability, but when the other party proposed to be an animation director, he still decisively chose to shake his head.

Are you kidding me?

Are you coming to be an animation director?

Why don't you say you want to participate in the Blue Games?

Is this the same thing as drawing comics, writing novels and making music?

"That's it!"

Lin Yuan insisted: "I understand better than any director how this movie should be shot, and what kind of images this movie needs. I have already simulated it in my mind. For me, there is no such thing as making animated movies or drawing comics. essential difference."
