Chen Mubai naturally saw the hot topic among netizens, so he answered netizens’ questions about animation on WeChat.
"We don't do children's animation, we specialize in adult animation, and we will try our best to do our best. I hope to give Chinese comics some soil for development. However, the investment in animation is relatively large, so the production speed and cycle are not that fast. Everyone just wait patiently.
good."
"In addition, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, I hope everyone will give you a lot of support. After all, the production of every animation is not easy. It takes a lot of energy and effort from the production team. We all hope to do a good job. When the time comes, I hope everyone will say
Show mercy!"
"The first animated movie will probably be released in the summer. We have spent half a year working on it. Thanks to the Starlight team for their contribution. They did not have a holiday during the Chinese New Year. I hope everyone will give you more encouragement."
Chen Mubai publicly responded to what level of animation they were making, and promised to make it seriously and not just for fun.
This is an anime that will go to theaters, and it is also the first work of Mubai Films after its establishment. It will definitely not fool everyone.
If it were anyone else, everyone might not believe it. No one has ever said similar things to Chen Mubai before. They are all falsehoods and are actually money-stealing.
There are always people using the banners of "The Rise of Chinese Comics" and "The Light of Chinese Comics"...but when everyone was looking forward to it with great interest, they discovered that it was actually a deceptive anime, just to make money.
It was said that it was a big-investment production, but the result was only RMB 50 special effects. A group of netizens who had been deceived began to angrily curse the producer, threatening that if the other party was not deliberately deceiving the audience, it was money laundering. How can you use such crappy special effects and say it was a big investment?
Emotions are a good thing. It is precisely because everyone grew up watching anime and has a deep understanding of anime plots as adults. Therefore, I hope that Chinese comics can also rise and some good works can appear, just like Japanese works.
You don’t need to be outstanding, but you just want to see some sincere works? Let everyone see the hope of development.
However, some producers deliberately consume these sentiments, which makes domestic audiences give up on the domestic animation industry. They once did not believe in domestic animation. This puts national comics into an endless loop.
Chen Mubai's character is very good in front of the public, and he has earned it all by himself.
From the very beginning, the quality of the musical works was very good, and his professional attitude was very admirable. He was conscientious and conscientious.
The following TV series or movies? They are all cross-border entries. Even if everyone was not optimistic at the beginning, only his die-hard fans supported him, but then he proved his ability and works with his strength.
Excellent works have won him more fans? And everyone believes in his abilities more.
When he first crossed over from music to television? Almost no one was optimistic about it, and the outside world generally looked down on him. Then he succeeded.
After he achieved success in the television field, he crossed over to the film field. Although most people were not optimistic about it, there were still a small number of netizens who believed that he could do it. This was due to their trust in him!
Although there is a big gap between movies and TV, the methods and core of storytelling are very different. It is not an easy task to tell a story in two hours.
Countless TV directors have failed when trying to cross over, which proves that the difficulty is not as simple as they thought!
But the crossover from music to television is wider than the crossover from television to movies!
Since Chen Mubai can do it? Why can’t he do it this time?
Is this the view of people who believe in him? In fact? Chen Mubai did succeed. Chen Mubai once again won the respect and praise of netizens with his strength.
Since then, Chen Mubai's film career has been smooth sailing and his career has been on the rise again. However, he has not forgotten his original intention and has been seriously producing excellent works. He has not become complacent because of success and made some bad movies to fool the audience and fans.
After many people become famous and their net worth rises, they will more or less take pictures of bad things to make money. Who can have trouble with money?
Chen Mubai is the only one who has not done this!
His character has been highly praised by everyone!
Therefore, Chen Mubai's voice this time still won everyone's trust, as usual.
Even if the prospects and development of Chinese comics are not good, everyone still believes that Chen Mubai can do it and produce a conscientious animation!
Even if the animation is a little worse, everyone will understand. This is the reputation Chen Mubai has accumulated through his previous works!
In fact, the public also has a bit of a double standard. For a person who has been making bad movies, if he makes a bad movie next time, he will definitely criticize him.
But if a person who has always made excellent works makes a bad movie, everyone will mainly comfort him. This is the case for Chen Mubai currently.
Even if the animated movie fails, he will still not be ridiculed (by the general public), but will gain respect.
Of course, this path is also caused by individuals. No wonder the public. After all, every film a director (actor) makes is a test. Making a bad film will consume part of the reputation. No matter how good the reputation is, there will be a day when it is used up.
Even Chen Mubai, if he makes several bad movies in a row, his reputation will deteriorate.
Just like this anime, although everyone trusts him, if after the work comes out, everyone finds out that the special effects are just for making money, they still won't let him go.
It's just based on the trust in his previous works that everyone believes in him now.
Once the work is released, quality must speak for itself.
It is allowed that the quality does not meet everyone's expectations, but we cannot fool everyone and treat everyone as fools. This is an essential difference.
...
"Mr. Chen, you're here!" Fu Chunlai greeted him excitedly.
Starlight Animation has moved to Mubai Entertainment, which has acquired a commercial building large enough to house all the company's departments.
Fu Chunlai was really happy. After Chen Mubai acquired their company, he was really working on animation seriously.
After they made all the character models, Chen Mubai took one look at them and immediately handed him the script and background of the story, asking him to make the animated movie.
In terms of funds, we are not stingy at all. You don’t need to worry about money at all, just build!
Chen Mubai also sent a lot of people to help, just to make it happen as soon as possible.
Everyone is very confident about this movie.
This is the animation they have always wanted to make. They are not afraid of spending money. They have enough financial support for big scenes and special effects. The story is not naive. The background is based on Chinese mythology and is completely full of local culture.
!
Fu Chunlai believes that once this movie is released, it will definitely cause a sensation!
It even made many people who support Chinese comics have confidence in the Chinese comic industry!
"Thank you very much for your support to us." Fu Chunlai expressed his thanks.
He saw Chen Mubai's remarks on the Internet and specifically thanked their team. In order to reduce their pressure, Chen Mubai also asked the public not to put too much pressure on them in terms of public opinion and asked netizens to support them. He was very moved.
Scholars die for their confidants. Fu Chunlai was really touched when the industry they loved was supported and given full trust.
He increasingly feels that selling the company to Chen Mubai is the right decision. Maybe it can really arouse the rise of Chinese comics?
"How's the progress?" Chen Mubai asked with a smile.
"Soon, if we follow the normal schedule, there will be no problem with the summer release!" Fu Chunlai reported the progress.
"Try to cut out a trailer around May and use it for promotion then."
Chen Mubai said: "After all, it is our first animation, so we still need to leave enough time for promotion."
"no problem!"
"The grand special effects scenes must be cut in so that everyone can see our special effects and they will know what they are doing."
Whether an anime is good or not depends not only on the story but also on the special effects of the fights.
They don't skimp on the investment in special effects, and the special effects are naturally very good. As long as everyone sees this special effects, they will know the quality of the animation.
Why did everyone madly complain about Chinese comics before? It was nothing more than 50-cent special effects and a ridiculous plot. Although everyone didn't know their plot, they could see the special effects and their conscience.
Even if the plot is not good, it is not a worthwhile trip to see the special effects, and it should be regarded as supporting the development of national comics.
"When the film is completed, you and your team will receive bonuses. Thank you for your overtime work during the Spring Festival."
Fu Chunlai said in surprise: "Thank you, Mr. Chen!"
He himself may not need this bonus, but his subordinates do!
This is also a kind of recognition, Chen Mubai's recognition of their work.
"Let's work hard together."
Fu Chunlai's team has been working the hardest since the Spring Festival, and they returned to work on the third day of junior high school. Chen Mubai saw how hard they worked for this animation, so he would naturally reward them.
In fact, when he saw the completion progress of the animation, he was still very happy. The speed was somewhat beyond his expectation, and everything was done well, which is enough to show their hard work and dedication.
...
After reading the progress, Chen Mubai found Lu Fang.
"Brother Lu, a lot of people have come to the company recently!" Chen Mubai said with a smile.
He really didn't know that Starway Entertainment employees had resigned, and he didn't do anything about it.
But later, he saw some familiar faces, and coupled with the news on the Internet about the resignation of Starway employees, he guessed that it was Lu Fang who did it.
"Well, the company is growing too fast and there is not enough manpower, so I hired some people." Lu Fang replied.
The rapid development of Mubai Entertainment has led to manpower vacancies. Grassroots employees are easy to recruit, but it is difficult for management to train them in a short period of time.
Therefore, he found his former colleagues from Starway, some of whom were capable and good-hearted. Their relationship was okay at the time, and he tried to persuade them to change jobs.
Starway Entertainment has poached their people before, and now they are just reciprocating with tooth, which is not too much.
They thought about it briefly and came over. After all, the prospects of Starway Entertainment were worrying, while the prospects of Mubai Entertainment were good. Do they still have to choose?
They were also very disappointed with the senior management of Starway Entertainment. Although Zhang Yaohui was responsible for banning Chen Mubai, the shareholders also acquiesced to this behavior because he was nothing in the eyes of the senior management at that time.
This is true for the employees of his own company, and the indifference of senior management makes many people feel cold.
Now that there is a chance to go to a better place, almost no one wants to stay.
They didn't expect that their resignation would have a chain reaction on Starway, triggering more people to leave...
"It's too much trouble for you to run the company. I'm too lazy to take care of it. It's too energy-consuming." Chen Mubai laughed.
Lu Fang sighed: "Who asked me to meet a hands-off shopkeeper?"
The two of them chatted easily and happily. It was rare for them to have time to calm down and talk since they were very busy on weekdays.
One is busy managing the company's affairs, and the other is flying around the country.
Chen Mubai rarely makes announcements now. He basically follows the crew, but there are also some announcements that need to be made, such as endorsement brand launches, new product promotions...
