Chapter 7 A Cat That Astonishes the World(1/2)

"What I am saying is not in line with the core values ​​of socialism. I don't think the cat I drew is cute enough. The story is very pessimistic and not suitable for teenagers. It cannot bring profits to the animation company. It is a group of blood-sucking capitalists." Liangliang

After saying that, he angrily scribbled on the drawing paper, completely erasing the originally three-legged cat.

"Then you should cater to the animation company and school and make this cat more cute." Jiang Bei didn't take it seriously and consoled him.

In fact, it is not surprising that schools and animation companies would have this idea, because the audience for animation is originally a younger group, and children and women account for the majority of them.

Since it is intended for these two groups, the story and images should naturally be a little cute and distinctive, so that children can like it.

In addition, animation also has a major feature, that is, it can derive some cartoon peripherals, such as figures, dolls, pillows, teacups, bracelets, blankets, etc.

You definitely can't print an ugly cartoon image on something like this, otherwise it will feel out of place.

Although the cat drawn by Liangliang is different from the ordinary ones, it still cannot be called "special", so it is reasonable for the animation company to be dissatisfied.

"I would like to draw something more cute, but isn't a cat just a cat? No matter how cute it is, they will think it has no characteristics." Liang Liang replied with a shrug.

"Then what do you want me to help you with?" Jiang Bei was a little confused.

Liangliang smiled when he heard this and said, "Brother, you are the most talented. Can you help me think of a way to make this cat unique? It's best to make it something that will amaze everyone."

Amazing everyone?

Jiang Bei touched his chin and fell into thought.

Seeing this, Liangliang hurriedly came over to help squeeze her shoulders, and started to build a relationship: "Brother, you see, I have been with you all these years, giving advice, and working hard to get my sister-in-law to quit the entertainment industry. There is no credit, but there is hard work. It should be worth it.

I’m here to help you for a while; and to take a step back, you don’t want me to be expelled from the school just like this, do you?”

"That makes sense." Jiang Bei nodded.

Liangliang looked surprised: "You agreed?"

"Try it, I don't know if it will work."

He agreed, but he still didn't insist on his words. After all, this is the Blue Star, and taking many things does not mean that he will definitely succeed.

"Brother, your talent is as unfathomable as my gambling skills. There must be no problem." How could Liangliang think that her brother couldn't do it? She quickly put the drawing paper away and handed over a pen and paper and urged: "Come on, come on, come on, come on.

Please start your performance."

"My painting skills are not very good, so you can paint and I will draw for you."

"That's okay, I'm ready. Brother, you can do the math."

"Well... you first sketch a standing cartoon fat man. Pay attention that no matter where you look, it must be round."

"Brother... what I drew is a cat, what are you doing here, you fat guy?"

"This cat is just a fat man, just draw it."

"Is the cat fat?"

"oh……"

Although she couldn't understand it, Liangliang still followed her brother's instructions and started creating seriously.

Of course, drawing a complete cartoon animation image cannot be completed in a short time, it takes a while.

In the evening, Li Youqing also learned about drawing cats after returning from Erjing Film and Television, but she was not very interested in this matter because she had more important things to be busy with.

"The company has agreed for me to endorse our hot pot brand, but the company will not help me formulate an endorsement plan, so we need to complete everything ourselves." Li Youqing sat on the sofa and turned his pen to analyze.

It's a pity that no one paid attention to it.

Liangliang is drawing cats in the study.

Jiangbei is cooking in the kitchen.

She was the only one sitting in the living room thinking.

A little lonely.

So she got up, took a small mazaar, walked to the kitchen door, sat down, and narrated the problem again.

Jiang Bei, who was carefully preparing dinner, heard this and casually replied: "Then let's go find an advertising company."

Erjing Film and Television agreed that Li Youqing's "Yiyuan" would endorse its own hot pot brand. It was his decision, so he was not surprised after hearing this.

The reason for not allowing the Erjing Film and Television team to help was to consume more of Li Youqing's time and continue to perform marginal tasks.

After hearing this, Li Youqing shook his head and said: "Hiring an advertising company may not be able to achieve the effect I want. In addition, we are in the early stages of starting a business, so we have to save a lot of money, so I plan to do it myself."

Go into battle in person.

This is a good idea, it can consume more time and energy and reduce dependence on the entertainment industry.

"What you said makes sense, I support you, just do it!"

"Then help me think of advertising slogans. After all, you are so talented."

Jiang Bei's hand holding the spatula was stunned, with a wry smile on his face.

Why did it always end up coming to him after all the detours?

But then again, as long as Xiao Nizi does not go into the entertainment industry, I am still very willing to help with advice.

After all, the hot pot brand chain is the career he strives for in this world, so he must do his best and cannot be vague.

But this way, he couldn't take any time off. In addition to helping Liangliang draw distinctive cats, he also had to consider the advertising slogans for the hot pot brand. He was so busy that he felt dizzy.

Fortunately, Liangliang has good comprehension skills, and finally drew this cat with Jiangbei's gestures. He also briefly told the basic information about the cat to avoid Liangliang having to negotiate with the school and animation company.

I didn’t know how to explain it when explaining it.

Jiangbei himself is relatively confident about this newly born cat. After all, this was once a cat that became popular all over the world, and it is also the childhood memory of countless people.

Liangliang also likes this cat very much and thinks that it will definitely satisfy the school leaders and the animation company.

"Brother, you are indeed the most talented person in the world. Your gambling skills are the same as mine. You seek defeat alone."

It's a compliment, but it sounds a bit wrong.

"It doesn't matter whether you have talent or not. I just hope you won't be persuaded to quit and just don't worry about us anymore." Jiang Bei said earnestly.

This little sister I picked up from under the overpass is really heartbreaking.

"Don't worry, brother, I will never regret it after this time... Bah! I'll start a new life and try not to cause you any trouble."

Liangliang patted her chest in assurance, and then carried "this cat" back to school with full expectation and confidence and handed it over to the leader.

But she didn't expect that the effect of this cat was far more exaggerated than she imagined.



In the leadership office of Meilin University, school director Guo Cheng is communicating with Nozawa Kana, the head of Jingdu Studio, about the animation original painting manuscript.

"Ms. Nozawa, these are works carefully painted by students with their creative brains. You can take a look."

"Thank you, Mr. Guo." Nozawa Kana politely thanked her and started watching carefully.

Guo Cheng smiled slightly when he saw this, and quietly sat back on his chair to deal with school affairs, while waiting for Nozawa Kana to read the works submitted by the students.

The office was quiet except for the sound of flipping cartoons.

About twenty minutes later, Nozawa Kana stopped flipping through the cartoons, with a look of sadness on her face.

"Ms. Nozawa, haven't you found any work that satisfies you yet?" Guo Cheng, who had been paying close attention to this area, asked quickly.

Nozawa Kana smiled and shook her head when she heard this, and replied: "Mr. Guo, there is no work that dazzles me in these manuscripts."

After hearing this, Guo Cheng's heart felt cold. He didn't care about his work. He stood up and walked to Nozawa Kana and asked: "Ms. Nozawa, how about I ask the students to draw some more works and submit them?"

The representative behind Kana Nozawa is Kyoto Animation, a well-known animation company in the island country. As a world-renowned animation company, it is very important for Meilin University to establish a cooperative relationship with it.

Because once a cooperative relationship can be established, it will equal to an additional employment opportunity for the students of Merrill Lynch University.

If the students' works can be favored by Kyoto Animation, then it will be like having half a foot on the road to fame.

If the students become famous, then the school will definitely benefit from it.

Therefore, the school leaders attach great importance to Kyoto Animation's visit to the school to find excellent works, and require the students of Meilin University to work hard and draw works that satisfy Kyoto Animation.

But the result didn't seem very satisfactory. None of the works carefully prepared by thousands of students within a week satisfied Kyoto Animation.

What to do if you are not satisfied?

It must be that the students are not paying attention.

No problem if you specify it again.

Cooperation must be achieved anyway.

"Mr. Guo, the company is pressing hard, so we can't give you more time. I'm sorry." Nozawa Kana said apologetically.

"Ah? Is Miss Nozawa going to give up animation production?" Guo Cheng asked in surprise.

Obviously, he is still trying to find an opportunity.

"Mr. Guo, you should know that we at Kyoto Animation also have a comic business. The company has issued an order. If we can't find original animated characters with unique characteristics, we will consider turning the comic works into animation."

Animation of comic works is different from original animation. It has comics as the basis, and only needs to animate the plot of the comic characters, which is far less difficult than original animation.

After hearing this, Guo Cheng was about to speak when there was a knock on the door.
