The Strongest Animator [Rebirth]

Neither of them has a careful and gentle temperament. Li Lianggong has always been used to a cold and serious face. Even if he is in front of his favorite student, it is difficult to say something caring and caring. So the topic naturally shifted to the current situation of the animation industry. Huaying's recent actions.

"You've done a good job." Speaking of "Harry Potter", which was just released not long ago, Li Lianggong, who has always been strict and high-spirited, was also full of praise: "I was worried about your first film. Animated movies are not suitable for 3D. Animation performance is your strong point, but with the existing 3D technology, it is not easy to achieve the realistic and detailed description you did in "The Gift of the Magi". It's too easy, I didn't expect you to even take care of this."

Shepherd Xing said: "After all, Huaying has a sufficient budget."

Li Lianggong was noncommittal.

If as long as you have money, you can forcibly produce an animated film like "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", the top position of the Blue Star box office has long been taken by other companies that are not short of money , Where is Huaying's turn?

"Speaking of it, the cost of animation production is indeed a problem now." Knowing that the other party is modest, Li Lianggong didn't stay on this topic, and instead talked about the industry: "Although the national policy supports the development of animation, the animation is broadcasting now. The fee still only accounts for one-tenth of the cost, if the animation itself is not good enough to become an independent excellent IP, whether the production company can recover the cost is a problem."

"The state intends to support it, and will also provide some subsidies for TV animation, but it's a pity..."

The Shepherd star remained silent.

With the memory of his previous life, he certainly understood the unfinished meaning of Li Lianggong's words.It is true that animation production companies enjoy subsidies, but precisely because this subsidy is usually linked to the duration of the animation itself, some small production companies do everything possible to increase the duration, reduce costs, and profit by subsidizing the surplus after deducting costs.

To put it bluntly, it is to defraud subsidy in the name of animation production.

Real animators are forced to sell cars and houses to generate electricity for love, and businessmen who use this as a profit-making tool instead take advantage of this hard-won opportunity to make a lot of money.

Thinking of this, Shepherd Xing felt a little heavy.

The atmosphere was a little gloomy for a while.

"You have done a good job." Li Lianggong said slowly: "With Huaying and the success of the "Harry Potter" series ahead, life for other production companies will be much easier. If you want to attract investment, how many It will be easier than before.”

It seemed that this topic was too heavy, and without waiting for Mu Su Xing to reply, Li Lianggong changed the subject again, saying: "It's unlucky for you to come today, the old guys I know have been taken by the family to celebrate the New Year, please change the name again." Make an appointment, and I'll take you to meet them again."

Those who can live in this community are mostly artists of the older generation.These people may not be as well-known as star directors, but when it comes to their respective talents and energy in the industry, they are not comparable to the superficial traffic in the film and television circles and music circles.

When Li Lianggong said this, he obviously intended to introduce him to the Musu star.

Shepherd star is not polite.With the master-student relationship between the two, there is no need to make superficial excuses.He said frankly: "Then trouble the teacher."

The two discussed and set a specific date for discussing the script. Before leaving, Mu Su Xing asked for a few more recent graduates from his teacher——

For his teacher's vision, Shepherd Xing is still very convinced.Li Lianggong has always been strict and serious, and most of the good students he can get are those with a serious attitude and excellent professional knowledge. The interns are recommended by the other party, and she can rest assured when using this.

After bidding farewell to Li Lianggong, Mu Suxing returned directly to Huaying's original office building, preparing for Huaying's first and probably last "moving".

Speaking of Huaying's move, the ones who moved me most were the few people who came to this Huaying office building with Mu Suxing three years ago.Fang Lian sighed while packing up his usual tools: "Thinking about it, it's incredible. Three years ago, we were still worrying about the first online animation, and in a blink of an eye, we became a leading company in the animation industry."

"It's still one step away," Wen Feihang said happily: "When we move into the new five-star base, we will be worthy of the name TOP.1!"

Mu Xingxue, who had been packed by the secretary early on, was sitting on a single chair beside him, looking at the new headquarters in the photo: "Since the company's site has expanded, shouldn't our staff expand as well?"

"This can be possible," Cui Hongyi raised his hand in agreement: "I can't tell you about the comics department and the game department, but our animation department really needs to recruit people. CG animation is too laborious to do. This year we can't just focus on it like last year. To make a "Harry Potter", ordinary length TV animation or web animation should also be considered."

Mu Suxing nodded in agreement: "The animation department really needs fresh blood now. This year we will probably fight on multiple fronts again. The more talents the better."

"Is the new headquarters closed to the public?" Dai Yuyan asked.

Shepherd star nodded: "In the future we will only grow bigger and bigger. If we open to the outside world, there will be more people coming and going, and no one knows if any accidents will happen. It is better to not open to the outside world once and for all."

"I see that the fans on Weibo seem to be very curious about our headquarters," Dai Yuyan suggested: "Since it is not open to the public, should we invite some fans to visit the headquarters? First, to satisfy the curiosity of the fans, Secondly, it is also a kind of publicity to the outside world, which is more beneficial to our recruitment.”

A few people discussed the company's follow-up plans and matters in a few words, and then dispersed to do their own work.

The shepherd star has nothing to do, so he relaxes.He turned on the computer and looked at the fan game competition held by Huaying before. Not surprisingly, he saw a few familiar names in it—they are all well-known producers in the game field in the future.

Relying on his memory and entries, Mu Su Xing wrote down the name and threw it to Thorn Huyu. By the way, he asked the personnel department to pay more attention to the situation of the competition.After all, his memory can't represent everything. Who knows if there will be folk masters that he didn't remember in his previous life in this competition?

After finishing these, Shepherd Star is going to review the original novel of "Harry Potter's Chamber of Secrets". Before that, the release of another animated film has attracted the attention of the entire animation industry——

Ji Xinrong's first commercial animation film is about to be released.

Seeing this familiar name again, Shepherd Xing was a little distracted for a while.Back then, the two had a very unpleasant quarrel because of an "IS", but Ji Xinrong hated him, but he also admired his artistic animation. Tan Qingyi even told him that the "Magi's Gift" back then Being able to win the Eleanor Award as a newcomer has nothing to do with the support of the other party.

It's just that, after that, the two of them had no contact with each other anymore, and it's meaningless to talk about the past now.

What should be let go, he already let go.

On his side, he was frank and calm, and on the other side, Fang Lian and Wen Feihang, who knew nothing about the Eleanor Awards, were not as indifferent as he was. Wen Feihang stared at the magazine full of flattering remarks, Confused face: "It's him..."

Although the two of them still hold grudges against Ji Xinrong until now, it is impossible to say that there is no pimple in their hearts. After all, it is true that they were ridiculed by the other party in full view.

"Hey, this magazine is blowing a bit too much." Fang Lian held up the magazine, facing Wen Feihang and Mu Suxing, and said indignantly: "Blowing movies is blowing movies, this'animation No.1 'What do you mean? Doesn't this put us thieves in the eyes too much?"

Shepherd Star glanced at the words in the magazine, and said pertinently: "It's right."

"What's wrong?" Wen Feihang was not happy to hear these words: "Now the world's top movie box office is our "Harry Potter", and the viewing records and subscription records of TV animation and online animation are also ours. What kind of animation No.1 is that?"

Fang Lian rolled up the magazine and tapped on the table: "Student Musu Xing, it's okay to be modest, but if you're too modest, you don't deserve a beating, let me tell you."

"I'm just stating the facts," Mu Juxing said matter-of-factly: "The box office and revenue cannot represent the quality of a work, but the fact is that the animation films directed by Ji Xinrong have won animation awards several times, and were even invited to be an animation award winner. The judges, and I have nothing but an animated short film award and box office."

Wen Feihang was silent for a while.

Indeed, so far, the recognition of Huaying has come more from audience fans than professionals in the animation industry. The only exception is "Maggie's Gift", which is also an animated short film. In recent years, Huaying's works have also been more commercially oriented. Sex, on an artistic level, is also true.

but……

Wen Feihang: "Is it my illusion? Although what you said is true, why do I feel that the phrase 'nothing but the box office' sounds so embarrassing?"

"It's not your illusion," Fang Lian said sincerely, "Because I also think this sentence is quite shameless."

Shepherd Xing is also very sincere: "I originally wanted to take advantage of the company's relocation and raise everyone's salary by the way. Now it seems that the two of you have reached the point where money is like dirt. I still don't want to take dirty money." Is it better to insult you with money?"

"I'm telling the truth," Fang Lian pointed to one of the open sides of the magazine, and said righteously: "Look at what this magazine wrote, what is the salvation of the animation industry, I didn't say it, this What kind of enmity is there between Jia Magazine and Ji Xinrong, and why is he so poisonous?"

"That's right," Wen Feihang nodded again and again: "Saving the average connotation of animated movies, what I'm saying is that all other animated movies on the market are all bad movies with no brains and no connotations. Who can bear it? "
