While Zhou Yang was hard at work filming "Under the Mine", the Hangzhou Children's Channel aired a cartoon called "Sheep vs. Big Big Wolf".
There is no human character in this work, and all the stories are about animals laughing and playing.
At first, Hangzhou TV Station didn’t pay too much attention to this animation, thinking it was a simple cartoon. But no one expected that once it was broadcast, this animation became popular all over the country, occupying the prime time slot of major children’s channels, with the highest
The ratings even exceeded an astonishing 13%...
In these years when Chinese animation has been eroded by Japanese comics and American comics, "Sheep and Sheep vs. Big Big Wolf" can simply be called a miracle of Chinese animation.
This animation has been on the Chinese animation list for the whole year of 2006. Not only do many children like to watch this animation, but even some adults will watch two episodes with their children in their spare time. On TV, Sheep and Big Big Wolf
While chasing and playing, I miss my childhood.
The producers were naturally very happy.
The continuous attention and ratings gave them new ambitions for this animation.
Production of the movie "Yang Yang vs. Big Big Wolf" began in mid-2006, and is planned to be broadcast together with other movies during the Spring Festival in 2007.
However, after the review was approved, when the schedule was set, I was suddenly told that this animation had received too many reports and could not be released for the time being, so it would have to be postponed a little.
Although the producers are disappointed, they are not discouraged. It doesn't matter if the Spring Festival movie is not released. There is still a summer movie, and thanks to the ratings, the animation "Yang Yang vs. Big Big Wolf" received many requests in March 2007.
For the peripheral customization contract, the producer and the peripheral parties worked together to formulate a perfect IP strategic plan, preparing to launch "Yang Yang vs. Big Wolf" during the summer release, and ruthlessly kill the majesty of Japanese comics and American comic peripherals...
However, I don’t know whether good things come in many ways or misfortunes come singly.
When everything was ready, the movie schedule was set again, and when it was even planned to try "Pandaman", it was suddenly reported by countless parents.
June.
It happened to be the time for the election to change, and the relevant review departments received more than 3,000 reports about "Yang Yang vs. Big Big Wolf". Among these reports, there were fifty real-name reports...
[So far, this animation has aired more than a hundred episodes, fifty of which promote violence, puppy love, dangerous actions, destruction of nature and other plots. I hope the relevant departments can take this animation seriously and not let this animation
Animation affects the next generation!] This is a real-name report letter from the parent of a child named Zhang Peipei.
[In March this year, after watching "Yangyang vs. Big Big Wolf", our children learned the plot of the animation and injured our husky with a kitchen knife. They also said that they would chop the Big Big Wolf to death. He is only eight years old this year.
Well, I watched this animation and I found that this animation subverts people's outlook on life. Can this kind of animation pass the review?] This is an anonymous report letter.
[This cartoon seriously affects children's physical and mental health, distorts values, and is not in line with the balance of the ecological chain. At the same time, this cartoon contains too many violent tools, such as kitchen knives, boiling water... and even insulting names appear many times.
, for example: "You little fat guy", "You little dwarf", which seriously deviates from the educational significance of animation and will cause indelible psychological trauma to underage children. It is simply a cancer in the animation industry. I strongly condemn this animation.
, and hope that the relevant departments will remove it from the shelves!] The famous children's education column expert "Sister Ju Xiang" reported it with her real name.
【……】
In the office.
An Xiao carefully opened each report letter and looked at the content of the report.
She was silent for a long time, then turned on the computer and watched the cartoon "Yang Yang vs. Big Big Wolf" and the movie "Yang Yang vs. Big Big Wolf" that was ripped off again.
She focused on the episodes in the report letter.
After reading it, she didn't know what to say for a while.
From her visual point of view, there is nothing wrong with these animations, and the animations themselves are specially marked with the words "This animation is a fictional plot, please do not imitate", and it lasts for two or three seconds at the beginning of the animation, and there are also
It has a certain warning effect.
However……
[It only shows text, but there is no voice prompt. How many children who can watch cartoons know the alphabet? What is the difference between this and deceiving others? 】
When An Xiao thought about the content of one of the reports, she didn't know what to say.
It doesn't matter who is right or wrong about this kind of thing. After all, it is understandable for parents to love their children very much, but...
As if thinking of something, An Xiao searched for "Yangyang and Big Big Wolf".
This animation has a lot of controversy and criticism on the Internet, but there are also many people who defend and speak for it. It seems to have formed two factions. But when she really analyzed it in depth, she suddenly discovered something very interesting...
Most of those who defend "Yang Yang and Big Big Wolf" are ordinary netizens, while those who criticize and strongly demand its removal are mostly "public intellectuals"...
Why do these things all explode together in June?
And the time happened to be before the release of "Pandaman", when the relevant departments were changing their positions?
Isn't the timing a bit too coincidental?
An Xiao frowned slightly.
Of course, this matter is just her personal speculation, and the world itself has many coincidences...
After finishing the work, it was almost evening.
An Xiao moved her body, then took out her mobile phone and dialed Zhou Yang's number out of habit.
For more than a month, we talked about work and life...
She has gradually gotten used to it.
After getting on the phone with Zhou Yang, I heard a slight nasal sound on Zhou Yang's phone.
He seems to have a cold.
………………………………
"Infernal Affairs" is very low-key.
After the filming was completed, the media was not invited, and Zhou Yang did not appear in public. Except for a small number of people, no fans even knew that the film was completed.
Finishing is only the first step. "Infernal Affairs" will then require editing, post-production soundtrack dubbing, rectification and special effects processing...
It seems very simple, just one sentence, but in fact it is extremely complicated.
As for the publicity plan...
June and July this year were really embarrassing.
Huaxia Film released two so-called blockbusters, but both of them were canceled.
The resources and direction of the entire Chinese film industry have been occupied by "Sevier" and "Pandaman". Movie fans are immersed in the visual experience and kung fu confidence brought by the West. The popularity is simply amazing, and they really can't tell the difference.
Watch other movies.
Even the movie "Night Walker" can't get any good publicity at this time, let alone Zhou Yang, who focuses on his works.
In a world that focuses on entertainment, everyone is impetuous.
Zhou Yang is not willing to hype up personal scandals, he is not willing to make gossipy news, and he is not willing to spend a lot of money to buy traffic and various popularity. There are no gimmicks, and he does not cooperate with the hype. At first, he can look at you eagerly when your popularity is high.
They came to your door and asked for all kinds of news, but after seeing that you were ignoring you, their thoughts became very light.
It is true that a hot face can be pressed against a cold butt, but if it is applied for a long time, the face will gradually become cold.
They are not mean...
Zhou Yang returned to the mainland.
After returning to the mainland, I wanted to devote myself to the later stage of "Infernal Affairs", but I didn't expect that I would have a high fever on the first day I returned to the company.
I had a high fever approaching 40 degrees Celsius. I went to the hospital dizzy and got a few injections, and then I felt a little better.
Just when I thought I would feel better after lying down for a while, my throat started to get inflamed, my voice became extremely hoarse, my temperature that had subsided rose again, and I couldn't raise any strength in my body. I couldn't wait for a day.
Lying in bed for twenty-four hours.
Zhou Yang is in good health.
But no matter how good your body is, you are still an ordinary person.
The exhaustion and work of the past few days had really crushed his body.
"My body is overdrawn."
The morning of July 5th.
Zhou Yang saw An Xiao coming over with breakfast and took Zhou Yang's temperature. After seeing that the temperature had gone down, she nodded.
Looking at An Xiao's appearance, Zhou Yang felt warm in his heart and felt even more flattered.
"Mr. An, aren't you going to work today?"
"At work, I stopped by to see you..."
"Oh oh oh."
"Eat it. You will have strength after eating it. Don't do anything in the next period of time. Have a good rest. If you have time, go for a walk. Don't be bored. Put your medicine on the table and vitamins.
Remember to eat..."
"Oh...Mr. An, why does it feel like you are coaxing a child?" After taking the medicine, Zhou Yang looked at An Xiao, who had talked a lot, and his eyes flashed with confusion.
"I'm going to work." An Xiao looked at Zhou Yang's haggard appearance and shook her head, then picked up her bag and turned around to leave.
At this moment, Zhou Yang seemed to have thought of something and scratched his head.
"Mr. An, congratulations on your promotion..." Zhou Yang held it in for a while and finally said this.
"There is nothing to congratulate. It's just that the burden is heavier than before, the things to be dealt with are more complicated, and the responsibilities are heavier." An Xiao's face did not show the joy of promotion, but calmness.
With the replacement of old and new, many stalls and many problems were left in front of her. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is difficult to deal with it, no matter how capable it is, it is quite troublesome to deal with it.
"I don't understand this, but I will try my best..."
"You should try to take care of yourself. It's a strange thing to catch a cold in the summer." An Xiao looked at Zhou Yang with a somewhat speechless expression.
"Oh, by the way! Mr. An, do you need to review the animation "That Year of the Rabbit" when it is broadcast on the Internet?"
"what type is it?"
"It's just an animated short film..."
"Well, you can say I'm the one reviewing it."
"Oh, then I will send you the information. Wait, please wait a moment. I have prepared the information."
"..."
Under An Xiao's stunned gaze, Zhou Yang dragged his weak body out of the drawer and handed a folder and a USB flash drive to An Xiao.
……………………
After returning to the office, An Xiao clicked on the animation sample of "That Rabbit That Year"...
Recently, there have been more and more reports about animations, and An Xiao’s nerves have become indescribably sensitive to animations.
After clicking on this animation and watching the title, An Xiao's expression gradually became serious.
