Qin Sheng understood: "So, Huaying's next animation will be about tennis?"
Mu Xingxing smiled and nodded.
This so-called tennis animation naturally refers to "The Prince of Tennis".
As early as when "Cardcaptor Sakura" was first produced, Muju Xing had considered Huaying's second TV animation.
In Musuxing’s opinion, Huaying’s TV animation should meet two requirements. One is that its quality is excellent, and the plot performance is exciting enough. The other is that the audience of the animation is not limited to children. It should be like “Cardcaptor Sakura”, To achieve the effect of taking all ages.
On these two points, "Prince of Tennis" is undoubtedly the most suitable.
Sports-themed comics are on the rise right now, and the appearance of "The Prince of Tennis" can just fill the gap in sports animation on the market. On the other hand, Mu Xingxing does not intend to adapt all the comics of the "Prince of Tennis" series - "Killing Tennis" can certainly deepen the audience's impression, but overall, it is too exaggerated in the middle and later stages. It is said that playing tennis is more For example, the setting of beating people, regardless of whether it will have a negative impact on Huaying, whether it can pass the review of relevant departments is a problem.
After all, ignorant children are the basis of TV animation.
The special thing about "The Prince of Tennis" is that its overall plot is simple and easy to understand, and the various tennis special moves look cool and handsome, making it easy to win the favor of children. Not only that, there are many characters appearing in comics, and almost every character has a distinctive personality, cute and interesting. No matter how demanding people are, they will always be poked by one of them.
What the Shepherd Star wants to do is to use this "The Prince of Tennis" to leave a deep imprint on the hearts of children and audiences.
Small audiences don’t have to remember Huaying, and it’s impossible to pay attention to an animation production company now, but what about when they grow up?
When the smallest group of viewers grow up, when they unexpectedly discover that the animations they loved the most when they were young, and even the dramas they are still chasing now, are all from the same animation production company. Movie animation will inevitably become the most special existence in the hearts of children of this generation.
This "Prince of Tennis" that countless people will never forget is just the beginning of a new stage of picture animation.
Qin Sheng didn't mean to ask more questions. Shepherd Xing's intuition in animation has always been terribly keen. Since he said that he wanted to use this as the initial capital to start the school, he naturally had his reasons, and now he is just exhorting One sentence: "If you have time, I suggest you visit Professor Li. The older generation of artists are somewhat prejudiced against commercial animation. It will be much smoother if they are introduced by familiar seniors."
"As for how to convince Professor Li Lianggong, you, as his student, should know better than me, but..." Qin Sheng thought for a while, and then made a suggestion: "With your current level, I think you can go to an animation company. Try taking professional university courses, most of the older generation are doers, and actual actions are more effective than any verbal persuasion."
That's not a bad idea.
Speaking of which, he actually received invitations to teach from several universities a few days ago, hoping that he could go there and give lectures to students every month. At that time, he was worried that once he was busy with Huaying's work, the sky would be dark, so he put aside several emails. Now it seems that it would be good to go to other universities to give lectures and learn about it by the way.
Thinking of this, Shepherd Xing nodded in agreement and wrote it down.
After the weekend break, soon came the busy working day. With the goal of running a school, while feeling the pressure, Mu Suxing also felt the long-lost motivation. Early on Monday morning, he brought several project team leaders to hold a meeting based on "The Prince of Tennis". A temporary meeting as the subject.
"The plans related to "Prince of Tennis" are all here. You can take a look. If you think there are any problems, you can point them out now."
Needless to say, the people below are interested in the project that Muxiuxing is focused on. The few employees who were mainly responsible for script review moved the fastest and finished the entire project in a short time, with some unfinished expressions on their faces.
"This is just right. I don't think there is any need to modify it."
"It's much more complete than I imagined," someone commented: "Although there is no real sports fan on the market, in my opinion, this "The Prince of Tennis" can be said to take all the elements that sports animation should have into consideration. It’s here. There are a wide variety of characters with distinctive personalities, cool and interesting skills, games and daily arrangements are just right, and the plot seems to be relaxed. As long as the painting and script don’t collapse, it will definitely be another hit.”
Mu Xingxing nodded slightly and said: "Very good, now let's discuss the issue of advertising placement."
"ah?"
Everyone looked at each other.
There is nothing wrong with the planning of "The Prince of Tennis", but their boss is too aggressive, right? The plan has just been confirmed, and the animation has not yet been put into production, so start looking for advertisement placement?
Some of the old people in Huaying took it for granted, as if they didn't think there was anything wrong with finding an advertisement so early. As for whether this speed will be too fast...then there is no way, who made their priests so efficient once they entered the state of workaholics?
The head of the advertising department is Ruan Wei. She was an old man when Huaying was established. Seeing Mu Suxing speak now, she raised her hand without hesitation, and waited for Mu Suxing to nod to her. , this female minister who has always been able to act quickly stood up and said calmly:
“Currently, Blue Star has three sports brands that are the largest, have the widest influence, and are also the most famous, namely Qingtao, Lux and Quanxing. Among them, Qingtao mainly focuses on basketball and football, and its many sports shoes have been occupying the leading position for many years. 30% of the market share; the company Lux is a comprehensive sporting goods company..."
The old employees were calm, but the newcomers who had the opportunity to participate in this kind of meeting because of their promotion were inevitably stunned, with mixed feelings in their hearts for a while, surprised, but more proud.
Huaying is probably the only animation company that can determine the placement of advertisements early on before the start of the animation project, and directly target Bluestar's largest brand.
If they were in other companies, they might think that this would be too arrogant, but if they were in Huaying, they would be a little surprised, but after the accident, it was taken for granted. Arrogant? It seems to be a bit arrogant, but as the boss, isn't it natural for Huaying to be so arrogant?
"To sum up, I personally suggest that the company should focus on Lux Sports." After introducing the three brands, Ruan Wei concluded: "As a comprehensive sports goods company, although Lux's products are the most comprehensive, But they are inferior to Qingta and Quanxing in all aspects, and for this reason, Lux should not let go of any chance to catch up with Qingta and Quanxing."
"Then the cooperation with Lux will be left to you. Is that okay?" Mu Xingxing asked.
"No problem," Ruan Wei nodded bluntly, "I will discuss the most suitable brand before Friday."
…
Until the end of the whole meeting, Chang Guanghua was ignorant.
That's it?
This is the end?
Calculating carefully, plus everyone's time to look at the plan, this impromptu meeting only lasted less than half an hour. However, within this half hour, Muxiuxing arranged everyone's work efficiently. At the end, the person who was called quickly introduced several countermeasures, and gave the most suitable choice and detailed analysis he thought.
As a cartoonist myself, I only need to draw according to the above arrangement.
"Brother Fang, that..." Chang Guanghua couldn't help but asked, "Director Mu, has he always been this fast?"
Fang Lian glanced at him reproachfully: "It's broad daylight, and this person is here, what's the matter, please talk carefully."
The two of them didn't deliberately lower their volume when they were talking, so as soon as Fang Lian uttered this joke, the nearest people all looked over at once. Chang Guanghua nervously looked for Shepherd Xing in the crowd to confirm After his boss was far enough away from him and unlikely to hear his words, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He touched his heart and said feebly: "Brother Fang, please stop making fun of me. I'm almost scared to death by you..."
Fang Lian became interested instead: "Hearing what you said, why do you seem to be afraid of him? Why, is the image of the pastor in your hearts like a big devil?" He said furtively : "It's okay, tell me the truth, and I promise not to tell the pastor."
Chang Guanghua gave him a contemptuous look, and the other party didn't even believe a word of his words.
"Actually, it's not that I'm afraid," Chang Guanghua thought for a while and answered seriously: "It's just that I have been in other project teams before and have never worked under Director Mu. This is the first time. I saw Director Mu again. It seems that he attaches great importance to this project, and he is just a little nervous."
He paused, but still couldn't hold back his curiosity: "Brother Fang, since you have worked with Director Mu on so many projects, you should know his style of doing projects, right?"
Fang Lian recalled the experience of being scolded countless times by Shepherd Xing with all sorts of flimsy reasons over the years, and the experience of changing the camera so many times that he felt nauseous just looking at the pictures, and fell into deep thought.
Then when he looked up, he saw the nervous and expectant face of the little newcomer.
Fang Lian thought.
Forget it, everyone has such a pure and cute new period, it's better not to break the other party's delusion.
So he waved his hand and said casually: "It's okay. Your pastoral director has a good temper. As long as it's not a stupid mistake, he won't really be angry with you." He will just point out the problem unceremoniously and say Let you change it until it collapses.
"And there is nothing to say about your pastoral director's talent. His abilities in all aspects are first-rate. If you follow him well, you will definitely benefit more than you would in other groups. You know, those who worked with the project team back then were... The newcomers he has mentored are now the bosses of various project teams in the company." It would be strange to revise their studies under the high-pressure guidance of a certain tyrant and not make any big progress.
Of course Chang Guanghua didn't know what he was complaining about in his heart. Hearing this, he immediately said with high spirits: "It doesn't matter. If the pastor is not satisfied, I will change it until he is satisfied. I will definitely not let him down!"
Fang Lian looked at him a little, and immediately felt a little awe.
Chang Guanghua felt uncomfortable when he looked at him, and asked in puzzlement, "What, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing," Fang Lian coughed lightly: "Just looking at you young people, I suddenly feel full of hope for Huaying's future."
What a familiar scene. Is this the reincarnation of history?
Fang Lian thought to himself.
Others might just think that Mu Xiu Xing has always been like this, but Fang Lian knew that although Mu Xiu Xing was always serious about his work, this time, it was indeed different.
Those seemingly innocuous but incomparably precious blood made him feel as if he had returned to many years ago, when the picture was still unknown, and everyone was crowded in a small studio, making an animation that the school teachers didn't think much of. Days of hard work.
Although I don’t know what happened and what will happen in the future, looking at the appearance of the Pleiades, I think something good is going to happen, right?
Thinking of this, Fang Lian's long-lost fighting spirit was also aroused, and he immediately added a sentence: "For the future of Bluestar Animation Industry, go for it!"
"Isn't it the future of Huaying? Brother Fang, you are too second-rate..."
"Rounding up is one thing, don't worry about these details." Fang Lian said, he didn't feel it before, but now that he really said it, he felt a little ashamed, so he quickly changed the subject: "Okay, okay, talk less and do more. You have time to think about this and that, why not think about a project."
"oh……"
One day later, the Huaying Animation office building, the "Prince of Tennis" project team.
Fang Lian looked at the lens in his hand that had been changed no less than ten times, and then looked at Mu Xing who was sitting not far away from him and staring at him, and fell into deep thought.
... Didn’t he say that this reincarnation of history is a bit too real?
