Jiang Yuan sat at his desk and stared at the computer screen for a while.
After letting it go for a few minutes, I turned on the computer and started typing on the keyboard.
The remastering of "Murder on the Orient Express" is still far from being completed in English.
As the words were typed out one by one, Jiang Yuan's English level also improved to a certain extent.
An hour passed unknowingly like this. The alarm clock that had been set in advance rang, and Jiang Yuan stopped what he was doing.
After picking up the cold coffee and taking a few sips, there was a knock on the studio door, and Zhang Qing walked in with a man in his early thirties wearing glasses.
"Hello." Jiang Yuan walked forward and took the initiative to say hello.
After Fang Yiliang shook hands with Jiang Yuan, he sat down nervously.
He is an animation director. He previously served as the director of a well-known film at Sakura Country Company. After that, he returned to China to establish his own studio and released other works, but failed to make much of a splash.
So it was hard not to be surprised when I suddenly received a contact from Jiang Yuan.
The reason why Jiang Yuan met Fang Yiliang here today was because he had to go back in time to the movie he had watched with Ye Xuanqi before.
Because the painting style was very beautiful, Jiang Yuan asked Jiang Yuan to write down the names of the creative team.
Later, when discussing the production of "The Return of the Great Sage" with Jiang Caihua, Fang Yiliang's name was mentioned, and Jiang Caihua said that he knew him and recommended him.
After the assistant brought the tea, only Jiang Yuan and three others were left in the office.
"I saw the movie you made when you were in Sakura before, and I want to collaborate with you on a movie." Jiang Yuan said straight to the point.
When Fang Yiliang heard this, he was so excited that he couldn't help but ask, "Can I write the script myself?"
Jiang Yuan was stuck for two seconds, which was not too surprising.
According to Jiang Caihua's introduction, Fang Yiliang's skills are definitely among the best in the industry.
But after returning to China for many years, it did not cause any waves, for two reasons.
First, he was not accustomed to the local environment. Before returning to China, Fang Yiliang produced anime from Sakura Kingdom, and his style was somewhat affected.
The second is that Fang Yiliang is extremely persistent in creating his own scripts, which results in most of his films being made with exquisite paintings and sparse stories.
"I will write the script." Jiang Yuan replied directly without giving Fang Yiliang a chance.
"Then can I read the script in advance and make a decision?" Fang Yiliang did not insist any further.
It's not that they don't want to persevere, it's just that the investors were scared away as soon as they heard that Fang Yiliang wrote the script himself, and the studio really couldn't hold on any longer.
"The script is not completely completed yet, there is only a rough outline of the story." Jiang Yuan said, and then clicked a few times on the tablet to find the document.
The script that Jiang Yuan just exchanged not long ago has not yet been officially reprinted.
Fang Yiliang took the tablet from Jiang Yuan and began to read it attentively. If the story did not suit his liking, he would still have to reluctantly refuse.
"Is this the background setting of Sakura Country?" Fang Yiliang was a little surprised when he saw it for the first time.
"Yes." Jiang Yuan nodded.
In Jiang Yuan's view, if you want to speed up the progress of system tasks, you must open up the global market in all aspects.
Combined with Fang Yiliang's style, Jiang Yuan immediately thought of Xin Haicheng's masterpiece "Your Name" in his mind.
It can be said that this film achieved great results when it was released, setting a lot of records. It is definitely a landmark work of Makoto Shinkai, and its influence is phenomenal.
After Fang Yiliang was surprised, he continued to lower his head and watch carefully.
At this time, Jiang Yuan was scrolling through his cell phone, feeling that Fang Yiliang's normal aesthetic would not reject such a script.
Jiang Yuan only gave a simple outline with not many words, but Fang Yiliang still read it for a long time.
After only looking at the background and character settings, Fang Yiliang's idea became that this film could be made.
After reading Jiang Yuan's general summary of the plot, Fang Yiliang raised his head, his eyes as bright as his name.
"How's it going?" Jiang Yuanyou asked, impressed by the other party's eyes.
The words lingered in Fang Yiliang's mouth for a few seconds. The few thousand words given by Jiang Yuan had completely touched his heart, and he felt that he must film this story.
"What's the name of this story?" Fang Yiliang asked after chewing the words several times.
""Your Name"" Jiang Yuan blurted out subconsciously.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan felt something was wrong.
Sure enough, Fang Yiliang was stunned for a moment, and then replied hesitantly, "Fang Yiliang?"
"No, this story calls your name." Jiang Yuan waved his hand quickly.
"Ah?" Fang Yiliang was a little surprised.
Jiang Yuan felt tired and secretly lamented that this prosperous age was as Wei Yimin wished.
Then, after pulling back and forth, Jiang Yuan explained it clearly to Fang Yiliang.
After Fang Yiliang figured it out, he breathed a sigh of relief, "I almost thought you were joking when you said the movie was named after me."
"It's not your name, it's your..." Jiang Yuan sighed tiredly in the middle of his sentence, "Forget it, just clarify it."
Fortunately, the Wei Yimin effect did not last, and Fang Yiliang did his own abnormality, "I want to shoot this."
Fang Yiliang's reaction was unexpected by Jiang Yuan, and he and Zhang Qing then discussed some more detailed cooperation aspects with the other party.
Basically, Fang Yiliang's team is responsible for the production of the film, and Jiang Yuan is responsible for the investment.
Jiang Yuan is still very confident about this movie.
After sending Fang Yiliang away, Jiang Yuan held two more meetings, one about Xinhuo Label's album release plan and his own schedule for the future.
The morning is basically spent in meetings.
After lunch and lunch break, Ye Xuanqi came to Xingyuan Entertainment.
This is not the first time I have come here to record, and Ye Xuanqi seems to be quite familiar with it.
There was no need for Jiang Yuan to go downstairs to pick him up, and he came to the recording studio by himself.
"Do you need to practice first?" Deng Ge asked, already accustomed to seeing Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi in the same frame.
"Let's practice it first." Jiang Yuan thought for a while and said.
There are two songs to be recorded today, one is "Elope to the Moon" and the other is a chorus composed by Ye Xuanqi.
Jiang Yuan was only familiar with "Elope to the Moon" which had already been performed, so the two of them practiced and opened their voices, and successfully completed the recording of this song.
The remaining song took a relatively long time to review before Jiang Yuan found the right feeling to complete the recording of the song.
After the recording ended, Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi went to a restaurant near the company for dinner.
The recording took a little longer than expected, and the mv meeting had to be postponed until the evening.
"So, do you plan to put our song in the third ep?" After the waiter finished serving the food, Ye Xuanqi took off her mask and asked curiously.
After the release of "love:o", Jiang Yuan's abacus resounded throughout the Internet.
Many people have expressed their expectations for Jiang Yuan's ep concept, and Ye Xuanqi naturally understands it.
Jiang Yuan nodded naturally, "Yes, it's the third one."
"Who do you plan to collaborate with on the fourth ep?" Ye Xuanqi asked curiously.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan's action of picking up vegetables was stuck.
Oops, I got stuck.
"It can't be Shang Yan'er, right? Many people on the Internet guess it's her." Ye Xuanqi continued.
Jiang Yuan paused and replied, "Probably not."
Just when Jiang Yuan was about to answer directly that it was Lu Qingge, Ye Xuanqi waved her hand again, indicating that she would not ask, and started the normal chat mode.
"I discussed cooperation with Fang Yiliang's team today to prepare an animation movie," Jiang Yuan shared.
"Who is Fang Yiliang?" Ye Xuanqi asked doubtfully.
"He's the director of the movie we watched before." Jiang Yuan replied.
"Wow, did you write the script? What's its name?" Ye Xuanqi was suddenly surprised.
"It's called..." Jiang Yuan just wanted to answer, but after thinking for a while he stopped, "I'll take you to watch the movie when it comes out."
"It's your treat." Ye Xuanqi nodded nonchalantly, took the soup Jiang Yuan had just served and drank it, temporarily putting her figure management aside.
"I'll take you to watch the premiere then." Jiang Yuan promised.
Ye Xuanqi shook her head, "There are too many people at the premiere. Let's go watch it together later."
Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."
"But "Fortress" starring Tang Lan will be released in two days. Do you want to watch it?" Ye Xuanqi asked with a smile after finishing the soup.
Jiang Yuan: "..."
"Are you coming with me?" Jiang Yuan asked.
"It's not impossible, you don't like this work very much, and you gave me a book before." Ye Xuanqi smiled brightly.
In Jiang Yuan's opinion, Ye Xuanqi's smile was really a bit nasty, so he simply said, "Okay, let's go together the day after tomorrow!"
"Look back at the itinerary. If I have time, I will definitely go with you." Ye Xuanqi looked at Jiang Yuan's reaction and thought it was a bit funny, so she agreed.
At the same time, I felt a little strange. If I really went to watch it, it would be like watching a movie with my ex-boyfriend starring his ex-boyfriend's ex-girlfriend.
Something is weird.
After dinner, Jiang Yuan and the two returned to the company and started the first discussion of the MV meeting.
Jiang Yuan only had the script of the original MV for "Elope to the Moon" on hand, but it was obviously not in line with the kind of MV that Ye Xuanqi wanted.
What Ye Xuanqi wants is an MV with a complete plot structure like "Wish Notes".
Fortunately, when the two of them were chatting before, Ye Xuanqi came up with a lot of ideas.
In the end, Jiang Yuan and I pieced it together and came up with a relatively complete story.
The story fits Ye Xuanqi's style very well, with a romantic and literary feel.
After the mv meeting was discussed, a rough script was drawn up, which will be directed by He Jing.
It will take some time to continue to refine the script and prepare for filming, and filming has not started immediately.
In the next two days, "Fortress" was released as scheduled. In the end, Ye Xuanqi was delayed by her schedule and was unable to watch the movie with Jiang Yuan.
Ye Xuanqi didn't even go, so naturally Jiang Yuan wouldn't go there alone.
After all, in its original time and space, this movie has a great reputation as the creator of Chinese science fiction movies.
Even though it was a different production team and lineup, Jiang Yuan was still a little scared and didn't have the courage to take the gamble.
I only dare to go online and read the reviews on the day the movie is released.
The reputation is much better than Jiang Yuan expected.
Although in the eyes of the public, it is still not a good movie, the platform gave it a rating of 5.6.
From a certain perspective, it can be regarded as a marginal piece of bad film.
However, in Jiang Yuan's opinion, even though he has not seen the finished film, the rating has nearly doubled compared to the original time and space, so why does he need a bicycle?
At the same time, I breathed a sigh of relief. Such a reputation should not make the author lie.
I searched the Internet for discussions about the original work, and found that the impact was indeed not too great.
[If it were shot according to the original work, I think it would still be readable, and it would have to be altered blindly.]
[This special effect is indeed a bit careless, but it is said that the copyright was only purchased and the author did not participate in the production. 】
[The purpose of the album is to write about reasoning. Even if you participate in the production, it is understandable that the writing is bad. 】
[I laughed out loud when I saw a negative review, saying that Jiang Yuan would probably give it one star after reading it.]
[Hahahahaha, Jiang Yuan shouldn’t go and see it, right? 】
[It’s hard to say, Jiang Yuan has read this book in various ways before, maybe he will read it secretly. 】
[Everyone can pay attention. If you see someone who waits for the lights to be turned off before entering the cinema, wears a hat and a mask, and leaves early, it might be Jiang Yuan.]
[You guys said this, and I suddenly became very curious about whether Jiang Yuan has watched @江元]
Jiang Yuan was browsing some comments on the Internet and was speechless.
I never thought I would be cueed repeatedly in this way.
"Fortress" was released for two days and started the street rush mode. Jiang Yuan didn't pay much attention to it. After all, he didn't have much expectations.
However, Yang Chao also sent a special message to Jiang Yuan, apologizing in various ways, saying that he didn't check it properly and the first IP adaptation turned out to be a bad movie.
However, Jiang Yuan's backhand was a Chinese version of "Murder on the Orient Express", which stunned Yang Chao.
The time in the second half of November flies by very quickly.
The promotion and marketing of "Want to See You" was carried out vigorously and with great enthusiasm according to the original plan.
Jiang Yuan also maintains a relatively fixed schedule.
On November 15th, recording and reprinting of the English version of "Murder on the Orient Express".
On November 16, I recorded with Lu Qingge and re-produced the script.
On November 17th, it was ruined.
On November 20th, it was ruined.
November 21st, promotion and advertising shooting.
November 22nd to 27th, writing scripts and recording.
Time has come to the last day of November unknowingly.
In half a month, even though he messed up for a few days, Jiang Yuan felt that his work efficiency was still quite high.
Not only did he type out the English version of "Murder on the Orient Express", he also completed two scripts.
The recording work for the love series ep has been completed, only the MV has not been filmed.
On this last day of November, the topic of "Want to See You" which will be aired tomorrow has also become a hot search topic.
Penguin TV has also updated its drama calendar. "Want to See You" will be broadcast in a three-episode weekly format starting tomorrow.
While the discussion was heated on the Internet, Jiang Yuan, Wang Xicun, He Jing and other creative members also gathered in the same studio again.
In the studio, the live broadcast of the global press conference of "Want to See You" is about to begin.
