Chapter 318 Those things about the rabbit that year
The video of "Jingwu Little Hero" was played in front of Zhou Yang.
This animation has three episodes in total, and each episode lasts about eight minutes.
The advantages are obvious. The artwork and dubbing are both good, not much worse than the currently popular Japanese comic "Fire Demon".
However, the shortcomings are also obvious. There is no plot at all in the three episodes of animation. The story is told in a mess and the main plot is very confusing. After watching the three episodes, Zhou Yang has no idea what kind of story it is about.
In the fast-paced environment of the Internet age, many viewers are slowly becoming impetuous.
After watching two episodes, I couldn’t see the main point, and there was no attractive main plot gimmick. The animation itself was produced by an unknown office, and there was not enough investment support...
There was no competitiveness, and it didn’t seem to be an accident that it was cut off in just three episodes.
The food was served quickly in the private room.
"Is your studio going to close down?"
"Yes, I'm going to have my last meal today."
"What's the follow-up plot of "Fist of Heroes"?"
"The subsequent plot will involve fighting foreigners, Japanese, and aliens..."
"What about the main plot?"
"What is the main line? Is the main line necessary for animation?"
"You...you probably haven't investigated the market, right?"
"No, but I have watched a lot of anime."
"Then your studio should have a plan, right?"
"Yes, yes..."
Xue Ning, the head of Baofeng Studio, felt a little nervous after facing Zhou Yang's inquiry, but he didn't dare to look at Zhou Yang.
But when she heard Zhou Yang ask about her plan, she suddenly became a little inexplicably excited.
She began to tell Zhou Yang that after "Fist of Heroes" became popular, she wanted to make a hot-blooded Chinese comic similar to "The Demon of Fire".
Even the plot has been outlined, completely copying the framework of "The Demon of Fire"...
She spoke so happily that she seemed to have forgotten that the company that was about to close down seemed to be immersed in the joy of success.
It's not so much a plan as it is the enjoyment after success...
Zhou Yang was stunned by this.
These people dare to open a studio and make movies without any preparation?
"What...did you major in college?"
"3D animation design..."
"oh."
Zhou Yang nodded and fell into a long silence.
Zhang Xiaoya looked at this former junior high school classmate.
In this world, there is an idiom called "reborn".
She could no longer see any trace of the past in Zhou Yang.
In her impression, Zhou Yang was a man sitting in the back row, wearing plain clothes, always taciturn, seemingly unsocial, as ordinary as a grain of dust that no one cared about.
But now Zhou Yang is calm, wise, and his eyes are so deep that people can't see what he is thinking at all. He vaguely exudes a mysterious temperament that makes people want to explore.
This temperament was so charming that she couldn't help but be stunned.
At this moment, she noticed an inexplicable chill.
She instinctively looked around, but she didn't find where the chill came from. Finally, her eyes were fixed on the noble-tempered and cold-eyed woman opposite.
This woman is so beautiful!
who is she?
The moment she saw that woman, she couldn't help but froze. Even though she was also a woman, she couldn't help but let out a hint of admiration from deep in her heart.
"Let's do this. Let's play with the animation "Jingwu Little Heroes" for a while. I will invest 300,000 yuan for your studio. You first make an animation episode according to my requirements... After it is completed, I will watch it first.
If it doesn't work, you have to tear it down and start over again, what do you think, Mr. Xue?" In the box, Zhou Yang, who had been silent for a long time, finally looked at Xue Ning, with a smile on his face.
"Really?" When Xue Ning heard this number, he was stunned for a moment.
"Yeah." Zhou Yang nodded: "Is your company's rent due?"
"Yes, Zhou Shuai, no, Mr. Zhou..." Xue Ning almost stood up in excitement.
"The fifth floor of my new company is almost fully decorated. It is made of environmentally friendly materials and there is not much formaldehyde. You can move there without paying a cent for rent. If the results of the first episode of animation satisfy me, I will continue to work there."
You can think about other things when you get down..." Zhou Yang just smiled after looking at Xue Ning's excited expression.
"Okay, okay! I will do whatever you ask us to do, and I will immediately replace you as the legal representative of the studio..." Xue Ning kept nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Let's take a look at the effect of the first episode of animation first..." After Zhou Yang finished saying this, he looked at Zhang Xiaoya again: "Old classmate, did you draw all the drawings for the animation "Fist of Heroes"?
?”
"Well, more than 60% of the paintings were drawn by me."
"I seem to remember that you studied media, right? Can you tell me about your experience over the years?" Zhou Yang looked at Zhang Xiaoya with a smile on his face.
The "interview incident" in the past was actually quite impressive to Zhou Yang.
Zhao Sicheng's weak point was exposed, and he sneered at a novice host, and even used this opportunity to slander himself.
Somehow, Zhou Yang's normally serious eyes glanced at a less polite place unconsciously, and then looked at Zhang Xiaoya's slightly nervous face.
However, an artist from the original world appeared in his mind.
His junior high school classmates seemed to have similar experiences to that artist, and they were similar in some places...
It's just that the artist behind him was not banned, but his junior high school classmate was. That artist is still in the industry, while Zhang Xiaoya changed his industry.
"good!"
One after another special dishes were served quickly.
Zhang Xiaoya talked about her experiences over the years. After graduation, she came to Yanjing alone to make a living, and then experienced some things...
Zhou Yang listened and nodded from time to time, but his eyes narrowed deeper and deeper, showing a bit of appreciation.
An Xiao ate the food and remained indifferent the whole time, as if she were an isolated island.
only……
These dishes are not to her liking.
Guan Tong sat next to An Xiao, looking at An Xiao and Zhou Yang from time to time, with an intriguing arc at the corner of his mouth.
More than ten minutes later, after Zhou Yang listened carefully to Zhang Xiaoya's experience, he nodded silently.
"Let's add a Q dog friend. If there is anything, we can keep in touch online at any time."
"Okay! Mr. Zhou, let's go out and prepare first? We have a lot of information in the studio..." Zhang Xiaoya nodded.
It was originally an occasion for old classmates to meet, and it should have been filled with emotion, but she keenly felt that today was not the time.
"okay."
"By the way, please wait a moment! This is the outline of the first episode of the animation I wrote... and the effect I want to present. When you go back to pack your things, think about how to make it. At noon tomorrow, I think
When I heard about the production plan..." Zhou Yang, under the confusion of everyone, took out an outline paper from his arms and handed it to Xue Ning.
"Ah, okay!"
Maybe the food was not to your liking. When Zhou Yang exchanged contact information with the two girls, An Xiao stood up and said, "I'll go out and ask the manager to change the order."
"Mr. An, I'll go with you." Guan Tong then stood up.
"Okay, by the way..." An Xiao, who was about to go out, stopped and looked at Zhou Yang with questioning eyes: "If it is convenient, let the students in the studio come in to eat together. After all, they have been hungry for a long time?"
"Ah, really? That's too..." Xue Ning was stunned for a moment, and then became even more surprised. Just when he was about to say something, he saw that he was pulled away.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xiaoya stood up: "No, no, no, it can't be done. We have a lot of things to do, so I won't disturb you all. Mr. Xue, the rent is due tomorrow. How can we have the time to eat..."
"Ah, yes!" After seeing Zhang Xiaoya's expression, Xue Ning nodded immediately, "Let's wait another day... We are actually not hungry either."
……………………
Everyone except Zhou Yang left the box.
The box became quiet again.
The rising piano music made Zhou Yang play the piano version of the song "The Sound of Silence" from the original world.
Of course, the beautiful melody is mixed with bursts of cheers.
It seemed that the people from the Baofeng Animation team had received an investment of 300,000 yuan, and they shouted excitedly.
Zhou Yang felt happy for them, but not excited.
At this moment, he lowered his head and was writing the production framework and main line of the first episode of "That Year of the Rabbit", and trying to recall the painful but touching plot.
An Xiao and Guan Tong came in from the house.
An Xiao glanced at Zhou Yang who was immersed in his own world and kept writing...
It felt like I was witnessing the scene when I met Zhou Yang for the first time and saw Zhou Yang repairing the camera.
She suddenly felt something.
Time can change many things.
This person who once had low self-esteem to the core of his being has been completely transformed, but he still maintains that trace of persistence and seriousness.
only……
After finishing his feelings, he looked out the window again, with a bit of indifference as usual. After looking for a while, he started to eat dinner.
Guan Tong naturally did not disturb Zhou Yang, but had dinner with An Xiao.
When he spoke, he was quite quiet.
About half an hour later, after Zhou Yang finished writing "Those Things About That Rabbit That Year", he had a smile on his face and even thought about the Chinese comic plan in his heart.
certainly……
He suppressed his plans, knowing that he would bite off more than he could chew.
Later, when he saw Guan Tong and An Xiao, he realized that this was a private room, not an office.
"Sorry, Mr. An, Director Guan, I just... I'll treat you to this meal."
He suddenly realized that this was Guan Tong's game.
But in Guan Tong's situation, he really took the spotlight.
His expression suddenly became very embarrassed.
"It's okay." Guan Tong smiled and didn't care.
"Take your time." An Xiao remained calm without smiling: "Are you done?"
"Well, we're almost done." Zhou Yang nodded: "Mr. An, I actually had a plan to make an animation before. The name of the animation is "Those Things About That Rabbit That Year"..."
Zhou Yang followed An Xiao and told him about his plan.
"Oh, thank you for your hard work." After listening, An Xiao just nodded, but did not delve into this topic further. Instead, she looked at Zhou Yang: "So, you know how to use Q Dog?"
"Ah, Q-dog will naturally use it."
"Oh, that's good."
"Yeah, right." An Xiao's incomprehensible words made Monk Zhou Yang confused. Is it good to know how to use Q Dog?
Although Zhou Yang’s family used to be poor, he had low self-esteem and was isolated, but he didn’t know how to use Q Dog, right?
"Director Guan, how about I read the script again? I haven't finished reading the script yet..." Zhou Yang, who couldn't figure it out, naturally didn't think about other things, but looked at Guan Tong.
"No rush, no rush... let's not talk about the script today. Let's have a good meal, chat, and keep in touch with each other." Guan Tong laughed, and did not let Zhou Yang read the script, but kept talking to Zhou Yang.
Wink.
"Oh!" Zhou Yang nodded, keenly feeling that Guan Tong was hinting at something, but for a moment it felt as if his thinking had slipped and reached a dead end.
The chat between An Xiao and Guan Tong continued, with the two talking about the company's past and future development.
Zhou Yang couldn't get a word in, and for some reason, he always felt like he was being ignored.
He was keenly aware that besides what he had done in calling people in just now, he seemed to have done something wrong.
He recalled the conversation he just had over and over again!
Immediately afterwards, he was suddenly startled!
Although he has been using his email, it seems that he has not added An Xiao as a Q dog friend!
Will this make An Xiao feel that she is not a friend enough, or even worse than a stranger she just met?
