The Strongest Animator [Rebirth]

It is of course impossible to say that Shepherd Star is not interested in this new function.

It's not that it's not good to adapt an excellent manga or novel, but any animation director, of course, has the idea of ​​putting his own story on the screen after adapting.

But it is undeniable that even if he clearly understands the development trend of the animation style in the next 20 years, he has no idea whether his original script can achieve good results after all, but the "Script Analysis Room" can give predictions in advance , let him know what he knows.

but……

Thinking of the 8000 achievement points needed to open the new function, and the next animation project he has yet to decide, Mu Su Xing reluctantly refused: "Forget it, let's not open it for now."

It is now an important period for the development of Huaying animation. In this urgent situation, the adaptation of animation is obviously much simpler than the original animation. Even if I open a new function at this moment, it will not be useful for a while. It's better to put it aside for the time being and think about what to do in the next animation.

He comforted himself in his heart for a while, and when the depression in his heart gradually dissipated, he lowered his head and continued to study "The Bird of Fire" in the system's reading interface.

One week is enough time for him to read a full-length manga, close the "Fire Bird" on the system page, Mu Suxing shook his head slightly: "...It's a pity that Mr. Tezuka passed away, and I can't see "Fire Bird" I always feel that it is a kind of regret."

[Do you want to adapt "Fire Bird"? 】013 asked.

"..." Shepherd Xing was shocked: "Why do you have such a terrible idea?"

013: [? 】

"This "Fire Bird" is not an exaggeration to be called the view of Japanese manga. Let alone whether I can adapt this manga with my current ability. The previous "IS" is also too different, which is not good for the development of Huaying Animation."

Speaking of this, Mu Suxing shook his head: "The company's development is a gradual process, and we do animation too. Because "The Little Prince" is a short animation, it doesn't matter if the style is too different from "IS", but we The next animation to be done is a feature-length animation, so naturally it will not be too far away from "IS". As a new animation company, the most important thing for Huaying now is to be stable. Instead of relying on a little achievement to mess around."

"As for the new animation..." Speaking of this topic, Mu Suxing himself hesitated: "I'm not in a hurry, I'll think about it later."

I don't want to hesitate like this, it's a whole day.

013 tried to give him advice: [How about "Working Cells"?Didn't you really want to do this from the beginning? 】

Mu Suxing closed the page of the system mall, and absent-mindedly tapped the desktop again and again: ""Working Cells" is not in a hurry. Its scientific value is very high, but its commercial nature is very limited. Let me think about it."

There is no animation project that requires him to do it himself. In addition to self-retreat and self-cultivation, he has recently dealt with some internal management, investment decisions, and peripheral cooperation matters.Shepherd star is not ignorant of this, but from the bottom of his heart, he really likes the feeling of doing animation wholeheartedly.

Instead of being constrained by Huaying's daily management matters and wasting unnecessary energy.

Perhaps, he should try to hire a real CEO for Huaying Animation.

It is said that there is a sequence of hearing, and there is a specialization in the art industry. There is a professional CEO who sits in the film and handles a series of official duties, so he can let go of his hands and feet and focus on animation wholeheartedly.

Do it when you think of it.

He looked up at the clock on the wall, and made sure that the other party was also taking a lunch break at this time. Then he opened the address book on the phone, found one of the names, and dialed it.

In less than three seconds, the call was connected, and Qin Sheng's quiet voice came from the other end of the phone smoothly: "Xing Xing? What's wrong?"

Mu Su Xing is not polite to him either—the position of CEO is no different than others. Instead of recruiting someone who is not sure about the details, it is better to ask Qin Sheng directly if there is a suitable candidate. The other party has been running Tengkong Entertainment for many years, and there should be a suitable one. The candidate is right.

"...You mean the CEO?" Qin Sheng pondered, "If it's just about the company's daily management, I really have a suitable candidate—you should know this person."

The shepherd star came to the spirit: "Who is it?"

"Mu Xingxue," he said with a smile in his voice, "Although this person looks unreliable, he was trained by Mu as his heir since he was a child. If it wasn't for Rose Animation, he wouldn't be able to produce high-quality or high-selling animations. , with his ability, he will not be able to transfer the Rose animation to others."

Shepherd thought about it for a while, and felt that this was a good choice.

The reason why Rose Animation went bankrupt in the previous life was not because the employees were incompetent, nor because the company was not well managed. It was purely because Rose Animation had neither a good script nor a good screenwriter. Mu Xingxue could not see the future of Rose Animation. That's why he chose to change hands and leave.

As for other aspects, since Qin Sheng recommended it to him, at least there is no problem with his character.

The only problem is...

"I remember, does Mu Xingxue still have a rose film and television company?" Mu Suxing asked doubtfully, "Will he give up his film and television company to come to Huaying?" Or give him a part-time job.

Qin Sheng said calmly: "Closed." I don't know if it was Mu Su Xing's illusion, but he always felt that he seemed to hear some gloating in Qin Sheng's words.

"what?"

"The director he hired heavily made a sci-fi animation film, which cost more than 1 million credits, and the total box office was less than 1000 million. He didn't have any underwear left. His family felt that he might not be suitable for entertainment. Let him go back, Mu Xingxue himself couldn't bear it anymore, and sold Rose Film and Television the next day."

Shepherd Star: "...the world of rich people is really hard to understand."

Qin Sheng reminded: "You are also an evil rich man - you are also the largest shareholder of Tengkong Entertainment." When he said this, he suddenly smiled and asked: "I am idle, I don't know if our major shareholder is interested in coming Take a look around the company?"

Shepherd Xing thought about his itinerary: "Okay."

Speaking of which, he did not go to Tengkong for quite a while to have a look. When the negotiation with Mu Xingxue is settled tomorrow morning, when the time comes to hand over the work of the CEO to the other party, his own private time will naturally be free. , taking this opportunity to learn about the production standards of Tengkong Entertainment's animation CG department is also good.

The next day, Qian'an Avenue, Black Fungus Cafe.

Shepherd Xing came with Ruan Wei.

With the experience of negotiating peripheral cooperation last time, he is quite convinced of Ruan Wei's business ability in this area. Shepherd Star is not interested in training himself to be an all-rounder, professional things, let professional people do it Enough.

When the two of them opened the door one after the other and came in, Mu Xingxue was already sitting there.

Compared with the last time we met, Mu Xingxue, who had experienced two consecutive entrepreneurial failures, was obviously not energetic. At this moment, he was sitting near the floor-to-ceiling window, stirring the coffee in the white porcelain cup with a spoon. Until the Shepherd star pulled out the chair and sat down in front of him:

"Mr. Mu, long time no see."

Mu Xingxue looked up at him.

Compared with myself, who has not been going well recently and is bloody in everything he does, the young man in front of him seems to be a different kind——

Also at a young age, he established and operated his own company. Musuxing’s Huaying animation has been going smoothly. The first animation produced was a big hit, and the second season can be released at any time to continue to make money. Now it is The most potential animation company recognized by the industry.

And what about him?

It's fine that Rose Animation is on the verge of bankruptcy, but even the Rose Movie he worked so hard on didn't end well, and he lost all his underwear, and was almost scolded to death by his father.

Thinking of this, Mu Xingxue felt even worse. He twitched the corners of his mouth and forced a smile: "It's been a long time since I saw you."

Not to mention that when the two meet again now, it will be in such an embarrassing situation.

Shepherd Xing didn't miss the embarrassment in the other party's eyes, but he chose not to talk about it—sometimes, pretending not to see it is the most considerate way to deal with it.

Mu Suxing took over the contract from Ruan Wei, and did not push it to Mu Xingxue in a hurry. He put one hand on the contract that had been drawn up, and said straight to the point: "Before signing this contract officially, I want to make sure A few questions, okay?"

"You said."

"Huaying Animation has just started, and now is a critical period of development. What the company needs is a long-term CEO. I'm afraid it will be difficult to cooperate."

As Mu Suxing got straight to the topic, Mu Xingxue's expression also became serious: "You can rest assured about this." Having said that, Mu Xingxue paused, with a wry smile on his face: "I know that in my capacity Background, whatever you do is easy to be misunderstood as just playing casually, but please believe me, my idea of ​​joining Huaying Animation is serious, if you don’t believe it, you can change the liquidated damages to an astronomical figure.”

Mu Suxing's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly remembered the treatment he had received at Xingning Art University.

This made Mu Suxing laugh suddenly, and he tapped his index finger on the table lightly: "Hearing what you said, I seem to be really soft-hearted." He raised his eyebrows, and praised sincerely: "Negotiation skills are good. ,go on."

Mu Xingxue: "..."

In fact, what he just said is really half-truth.

As the young master of the Mu family, the Mu family has a big business, and some of the capital gave him a fortune. Because of this, most of the people around him have a joking attitude towards his investment, and they always feel that he is joking. It's really miserable, but that's really not the case. Anyway, someone like Mu Xingxue who is entitled to spend freely like Mu Xingxue really doesn't need other people's sympathy.

The reason why he said this was purely because he knew a little bit about the other party's experience in school, so he deliberately said this to win the sympathy of the pastor star.

however--

Mu Xingxue silently looked at Mu Xing, who had a smile in his eyes, and waited with great interest for him to continue talking.

I really saw a ghost, didn't it mean that this person only has animation production in his heart, and nothing else?He thought that the entry point he had chosen was very ingenious. Logically speaking, it should be able to arouse the emotional resonance of the other party. Why did this person see it at a glance?

The rumors are indeed false!

"You've finished talking, what else do I have to say?" Mu Xingxue said depressedly, knowing that he had been seen through, he didn't play the emotional card anymore, and simply said straightforwardly: "What else do you have, just say it. "

Mu Suxing smiled slightly, and continued: "Second, you can't interfere with the company's animation planning, and I will be solely responsible for this."

Mu Xingxue was also very straightforward: "It's okay--I don't plan to intervene if you don't tell me." When it came to this topic, he became even more depressed: "I think it's open. In terms of material selection, I'm not the one. , It’s good for us to cooperate and perform our duties.”

Apparently, after successive failures of Rose Animation and Rose Film and Television, he has completely had a psychological shadow on choosing or reviewing animations and movies in person.

Mu Suxing is quite satisfied with this. After all, what he needs is a CEO who keeps himself safe and doesn't meddle indiscriminately. Mu Xingxue is not interested in himself, so naturally it couldn't be better.

With Mu Xingxue's guarantee, the next negotiation went very smoothly.

Regarding the details related to the specific work and remuneration, Mu Suxing handed over the control of the conversation to Ruan Wei in a timely manner. You come and I exchange words with each other.

"...If you are sure that there is no problem with the above, then please ask Mr. Mu to sign it." Ruan Wei smiled and took away the contract that was placed on the table earlier, and took out another contract from her carry-on document bag—obviously, She had already prepared for the terms that Mu Xingxue strongly requested to add during the negotiations just now.

Mu Xingxue: "..." So what was he trying so hard to fight for his own welfare just now?

Probably because his expression was too sad and indignant, Shepherd Xing rarely showed kindness and comforted him: "It's okay, as long as you work hard, it is not impossible to get the company's share in the future."

Mu Xingxue also complained that he was a little happy about becoming the CEO of Huaying Animation. After all, he also wanted to know why Musuxing was able to go smoothly while he started a company. One family loses one family.

"Let's do it like this." Things have come to this step, and Mu Xingxue no longer hesitates. He readily writes his name on the signature: "A happy cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

Putting the empty coffee cup back on the table, Shepherd looked down at the watch on his wrist, it was ten thirty.

At present, there are not many files and files inside Huaying Animation. If it is handed over to Mu Xingxue, it can be done in less than half an hour at most. The remaining time is enough for him to have lunch, and then go to Tengkong entertainment in the afternoon.

As he was thinking this way, there was a sudden noisy sound from the street with only a floor-to-ceiling window beside him.

"Why so noisy?" Mu Xingxue also stood up and looked out of the window curiously.

At this moment, the street is already full of people watching the excitement, and the noisy discussions are coming from the direction of this group of people. When Shepherd star looked over, there were still people trying to squeeze in to watch the excitement Some people frowned, as if they saw something they couldn't avoid, and walked away without looking back.

Putting the contract into a file bag and putting it in a small bag, Ruan Wei stood up, grabbed a waiter who came in from outside in a hurry, and said curiously: "Hello, may I ask, what happened outside? What are they looking at?"

The waitress touched her chest, obviously still a little terrified: "I heard from the people next to me, it seems that a man suddenly went crazy, holding a kitchen knife, chasing a girl and trying to kill her, scaring me to death I didn’t dare to look any further, so I ran back after taking a look.”

Ruan Wei hurriedly said: "Then what happened afterwards? Did you call the police? How is that girl doing now?"

"I called the police, but..." The waitress shook her head: "Hang, it's too hot. When I ran back just now, that pervert was still chasing her and hacking. I don't know how long she can last. I really don't know." You know what the police do, why don’t you come over?”

Shepherd star: "..."

Rao Mu Suxing believed that he had experienced a lot in his two lifetimes, so he was a little dumbfounded at the moment. He rubbed his slightly swollen temples, a little unbelievable: "There are so many people in the street, just watching a little girl being raped like this." People chasing and chopping?"

When he said this, the waiter was also a little embarrassed, she hesitated and said: "That can't be helped, that man is fierce, and he still has a knife in his hand, how can we ordinary people dare to be tough with him? ?”

Not to mention Mu Su Xing, Mu Xingxue couldn't help frowning.

This is too outrageous, right?The big circle of people around Ganqing are all eating melons?

Shepherd Xing frowned, raised his foot and walked out.

Mu Xingxue: "...No, don't be impulsive—" Before he could finish speaking, Ruan Wei who was on the side hesitated for less than a second, picked up her backpack, and trotted after her.

Shepherd Xing pushed through the crowd and squeezed in as hard as he could.

As the waitress said, the scene in front of me can only be described as chaos.

Probably because they were worried that they would be affected, the people who used to buy and sell vegetables in the vegetable market all retreated now and stood watching from afar.The burly man held a kitchen knife in his hand, and while cursing, he chased after the girl who was trying to escape not far away.

Mu Xingxue also rushed up out of breath at this moment: "Hey! Shepherd Star! Don't tell me that you plan to be brave, although I also think it seems a bit..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shepherd Star: "Do you have strength?"

Mu Xingxue replied subconsciously: "Of course..."

"The man will pass by the third booth in a while." Shepherd star raised his chin, nodded to the aluminum alloy chair not far away, and said in a flat tone as if he was stating a fact: "I want you to smash it with that one." He—don't use too much force, I don't want to pay the medical expenses for the scum, in short, you are responsible for hitting him, and I will do the rest, can you do it?"

Mu Xingxue nodded subconsciously, and then realized what he promised: "No, don't be impulsive, that person still has a knife in his hand, what do you use to subdue him?"

Mu Suxing glanced down at the watch on his wrist: "You will know when the time comes."

-

"Oh my God, what the hell is this going to do? Why are there still people chasing and killing people with kitchen knives?"

"The one being chased is still a young girl. She couldn't have been found stealing a man outside, and she became angry from embarrassment, right? Hey, hey, let's stand far away, and be careful not to be affected."

"How long have you been chasing this? Why haven't the police come over yet?"

……

The voice next to her ear was soft and calm, Sun Jing'an listened to it in her heart, and felt a bucket of ice water falling from the sky, cooling down from the top of her head to the bottom of her heart.

I'm so tired, I can't run anymore...

Didn't she just reject a persistent suitor?Why are you being treated like this?

Sun Jing'an bit the corner of her lips, dragged her limp legs, and barely continued to run forward. She knew that she shouldn't be so demanding, and no one had the obligation to stand up to save her at the risk of being cut, but when While she shouted "Help", she ran from the corner of the street to the vegetable market in fear, and when no one answered her plea for help, a little resentment and despair still inevitably appeared in her heart.

Why are so many people just watching from the sidelines, and no one is willing to stand up and help her?

Women's physical strength is not as strong as men's. She leaned against the shelter on the street and dodged left and right, barely avoiding the murder weapon in the man's hand. Exhausted, seeing another corner in front of her, she stumbled, and suddenly lost strength and fell to the ground——

Finished!

The girl closed her eyes instinctively, almost desperately waiting for death to come. However, at this moment, accompanied by the exclamation of the crowd not far away, and a dull knock, a clear voice quietly rang in her ears. Edge rings:

"Are you OK?"

She opened her eyes.

The first thing that caught her eyes was a hand with distinct bones. She raised her head in a daze, and looked in the direction of its owner along the arm——

The high nose bridge, thin lips, and a pair of black and bright eyes are as calm as water, without any caring or tenderness, but it made her fearful and uneasy mood calm down suddenly. She put on those white and clean right hands , the warmth from her palm made her finally loosen her tense emotions, and she burst into tears!

"...?" He probably didn't expect to encounter such a situation before him, and she was a little at a loss for a while—God knows he has no experience in comforting others!

Seeing the girl in front of him crying more and more fiercely, he had no choice but to turn his head and look at Mu Xingxue, who was out of anger and stepped on the man with the kitchen knife several times, and sincerely asked for help: "...What should I do now?"

Before Mu Xingxue could speak, someone in the crowd over there yelled, "The police are here!"

"...we already understand the general situation," the leading policeman was a man in his early 30s, and he said to the two with an embarrassed expression: "Can you bother me to come with us? We still need to do a specific investigation record."

"no problem."

While Mu Suxing and Mu Xingxue were taking notes at the police station, the news about this case was quickly pushed to countless people in the form of hot spots following the recommendations of various news websites——

"A grown man went crazy and chased a young girl in the street, and nearly a hundred people watched indifferently"

Xiang Nuan originally came in with the idea of ​​scolding the unscrupulous media.

According to her usual understanding of those unscrupulous media, this title is intended to attract readers to click on it, and it is deliberately exaggerated to stimulate people's attention.

But this time—

"... At 20:10 noon today (20th), a cry for help came from Qian'an Street, Xingning City. A young man about [-] years old was holding a kitchen knife and was chasing a girl along the street. It was shocking. Surprisingly, hundreds of people on the street chose to watch the man attack from a distance, but no one came forward to stop him. Some store owners even chose to close the door. It was not until the woman ran into a nearby vegetable market that she was killed by two young men. The man saved..."

Xiang Nuan looked at the pictures on the news in astonishment.

The key groups of people on the screen are all mosaiced, but even so, it is enough for people to clearly see the general situation at that time. The helpless girl, the fierce young man, and the indifferent crowd not far away are combined together. Immediately brought a great visual impact!

This……

Before seeing the specific content, she thought it was the media's alarmist talk, but now when she saw the text explanation and pictures in the news, she felt a chill permeating her heart.

Why is there so many people on the street, but no one is willing to stand up and help her, just watching an innocent girl being chased like that?If it wasn't for the girl who didn't struggle to run to the vegetable market and met the two people who helped her later, would she have been hacked to death in the street?

What happened to this world?
