Huaying's movements were not hidden from the outside world.
Of course, it's not necessary.
Because of this, as Huaying's senior management announced the upcoming animation plans to various departments, Huaying's big moves soon appeared in front of everyone.
"Anime Online" editorial department.
"hiss--"
As Blue Star's well-known animation information magazine, the editorial department of "Animation Online" was undoubtedly the first to get the animation planning list of Huiying. Rao had already been mentally prepared for Huiying to make a big move. After receiving a long list of names from Huaying, Shen Yun couldn't help but take a breath of air.
Huaying is trying to rebel?
Oh, you said that the current local emperor in the Blue Star animation circle is Huaying, so that’s okay.
After the initial shock, the editorial office quickly regained its composure. Shen Yun put down the list of animations and said with emotion: "If it were other animation companies, I might still wonder if they were planning to make up for it, but Huaying..."
Today's Huaying Animation can be said to have countless talents and studios of various sizes. Needless to say, Huaying's animation projects have always had quality assurance, and now there are no problems with production capacity. Huaying, which doesn't even have this last shortcoming, wants to create a dynasty, right?
"Sure."
"It seems that the next year will be another bloody year."
"There is another question," the deputy editor said, with a smile in his eyes: "Huaying Animation has established so many animation projects at once, Mu Xiu Xing will not really be a hands-off shopkeeper throughout the whole process, and put these Isn’t it right that all the projects will be handed over to the other production teams of Huaying Animation?”
"Our question now is, with so many animation projects, which one will Shepherd Star choose to do it himself?"
Luo Feng animation.
He Hongfeng put down the list in his hand.
The drama of those days seems like yesterday. As a rival of Huaying Animation and an old friend of Mu Xiu Xing, Ho Hongfeng is naturally happy to see Mu Xiu Xing's return. At this moment, he sighed to the assistant beside him: "It seems that our Blue Star animation industry will not be peaceful again."
As he said this, his face was filled with an unabashed smile.
As for the fans-
"Ah, ah, ah! It's Chinese New Year! It's Chinese New Year!"
"Does so much food really exist? [Tears] Although I doubt whether this healing system is really a healing system, no matter what I did first, I just want to fast forward to the follow-up chapter half a year later and release it in one breath. So many and so happy, is this the legendary flourishing age of painting and shadow?"
"I wonder which one the stars will choose? [Rubbing hands in anticipation]"
"I bet on "Unknown Flower" as a great healing movie. If you look at the title alone, you will be greeted by the sea of knives. The dog thief must have done it himself!"
"It's so real to do it myself, but I'm still looking forward to it."
…
Huaying Headquarters.
The shepherd star doesn't know about the outside world's speculation and expectations, and of course, even if he knows, he won't take it to heart. Today, his thoughts and wishes are no longer subject to any interference from the outside world. After assigning other projects to the various departments of Huaying Animation, Mu Suxing's attention has been completely focused on "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng".
This is a novel that Mu Xingxing likes very much.
In fact, Mu Xiuxing had the idea of making "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" into an animation a long time ago. Perhaps every adult who grew up in such an era has in his heart a youthful spirit, a world of pleasure and hatred. The Pleiades are certainly no exception.
What made him hesitate was the animation production method.
Although the 3D animation is beautiful and atmospheric, it still lacks some of the unique ancient charm of martial arts. 2D animation may be able to retain such a flavor, but the overall choice of style is difficult. So the inner world about "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" was repeatedly shelved in Mu Xiuxing's heart.
Until my recent trip around the world.
The colorful and unique puppetry performed by the old man gave him new inspiration.
Yes, why not try a puppet show?
Shepherd Xing didn't think too far - such as revitalizing martial arts culture, promoting cultural heritage and so on. For him, what attracted him was "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" and the puppet show itself. The former is a romantic atmosphere of traditional martial arts and the exuberant artistic conception of classical poetry, while the latter is the production method itself that is completely different from ordinary animation when making puppet shows, but it can also be called "fun".
For Mujiuxing, who has produced countless animations, the completely unfamiliar puppet show is like a colorful, yet magnificent and fun new world.
As for more things, such as reviving martial arts culture and promoting the cultural heritage of puppetry, it is of course better to be able to take care of both. If it cannot be done, Muxiuxing will not force it. As an animator, all he can do is to use his best efforts to show his animated world. Picking up a pile of information on the table, Mu Xingxing turned around and walked into his own animation studio.
In the huge office hall and the dazzling array of equipment, employees who also belong to the animation production team of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" are already waiting there in advance.
Looking at the familiar faces in front of him without exception, Shepherd Xing was a little surprised.
"Why are you all here?"
Indeed, they all came.
If it wasn't for the wall clock on the wall, which pointed to ten o'clock in the morning, she would almost think that he was in a dream, or that he had returned to Huaying Animation's first commercial work, which was established by the "IS" animation production team. that day. But now, when they should be leading independent projects, all the old acquaintances from back then are gathered here without exception.
"What are you doing," Fang Lian yelled, "You are only allowed to start a new project by yourself, but we are not allowed to join in the fun?"
"That's right," Wen Feihang nodded in agreement, and with lightning speed, he rushed to the platform that was going to be used as a puppet show set. He picked up the puppets on it and looked at them, while complaining: "You are such a person. It’s outrageous that such fun things don’t even come with us!”
Dai Yuyan didn't dance as much as the two of them. The girl nodded slightly, showing her respect and seriousness back then.
"I came to see if I could help with anything."
"Me too."
"Anyway, I have nothing to do. I've been a little tired of doing ordinary animation recently, so I just want to try something I haven't done before. Speaking of how to make this puppet move... Wow! It's moving! This little guy is so good It's beautiful. How will we shoot this kind of animation? Is it like a live-action TV series?"
“What about the weather effects?”
"Would you like to borrow some rain-making props from the live-action crew next door? Do you want one for the snow?"
Looking at the involuntary talk in front of him, he yelled at the equipment on the workbench directly. The excited crowd, Shepherd Xing also couldn't laugh or cry: "Okay, okay, I understand, if you are really interested, then let's go together Bar."
After getting permission from Mu Xingxing, everyone felt relieved.
"Then what are you waiting for, let's assign tasks!"
"GOGOGO, I can't wait to start the new world!"
"Can I be in charge of Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng's Forbidden Top? After reading the script, my mind is completely occupied by the sword god. I didn't know it at the beginning, but now I realize that puppetry and martial arts are really real. It’s a perfect match, traditional martial arts and classical drama, it’s fun just thinking about it!”
Everyone started discussing one sentence at a time. While discussing, they started their respective preparations for the script in their hands. The scene in front of him seemed to be a reenactment of the production team of "IS" many years ago, to the point that Star Shepherd looked at it, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly, evoking a smile with a little nostalgia.
Dai Yuyan put down the script and sat down next to Shepherd Xing.
She seemed to be just drawing the storyboard of the text script, staring at the picture under the brush without flickering from the beginning to the end, her voice was so low that it seemed to be talking to herself, but it was just enough for the shepherd star to hear clearly.
"Senior...are you really planning to retire slowly?" she asked.
Mu Suxing was slightly taken aback, a little surprised, but it didn't seem to be a surprise. Are all girls this sensitive? He thought, but asked back: "Why do you ask such a question?"
There was no retort.
Hearing the implication in Mu Su Xing's words, Dai Yuyan's heart sank, and she couldn't tell what was going on in her heart for a moment, her hands also paused, and her whole body became a little depressed: "I just feel, The senior seems to be slowly losing motivation."
It's like this "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" is actually his last work.
The pastors did not say yes, nor did they deny it.
He raised his head and looked at the old employees, or old friends, scattered in every corner, concentrating on the work at hand. I was a little confused at first, but suddenly I got the answer unexpectedly. Because he had a gut feeling that this would be his last work, so he gave up the opportunity of his own independent animation project. Do you want to come and see him off for the last time?
Mu Xingxing wanted to laugh, but a corner of his heart felt slightly sour unconsciously.
"Don't think too much." Closing the laptop in his hand, Mu Suxing picked up his mobile phone and began to search for experts and masters related to puppetry that he had contacted before, telling Dai Yuyan: "Let's talk about the future things later. .At least for now, in my heart, there is still "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" which cannot be let go."
one year later.
This is a veritable painting and shadow dynasty.
January.
Zi Gongxiang's animation "Doraemon" is launched on the Children's Channel of Xingning TV Station, and is scheduled to be aired every Friday at 8 o'clock. The fat blue and white boy named "Doraemon" has since entered the dreams of countless children. The related peripherals have been sold out the same day they were put on the shelves. Countless toy companies and stationery companies have begun to fight openly and covertly for the copyright of Doraemon.
February.
"Naruto" Sarutobi Asma sacrificed.
A member of Class 8, he was always afraid of trouble and his combat prowess was not as good as expected. At that time, the young Shikamaru, who was not yet known as a "wise general", overturned a table full of chess boards and rushed to the battlefield in the dark night without looking back. .
This world is not fair.
Some people are born superior to others, with unparalleled blood inheritance limits; some people are burdened with tailed beasts, and they can destroy the world and change the color of mountains and rivers with their hands and feet.
But the world is also fair——
Nara Shikamaru lightly raised his hand, threw a gray-brown wooden chess piece, and turned around calmly amidst the explosions and screams of the devil.
Just do the math.
——It’s not impossible to kill demons.
"The most exciting battle of the year!"
"I have seen too many battle scenes in shounen manga. The intellectual battles in "Naruto" are really eye-catching. This part of the plot is so well done. Asuma-sensei's sacrifice and Shikamaru's growth are really impressive. It made me cry, the action of throwing the chess pieces in the final revenge battle was really cool!"
"This is a battle of wits!"
March.
"Slam Dunk" started broadcasting.
"I was slapped in the face by Huaying again..."
"Ahhhh, it looks good! I just said that "Slam Dunk" can't copy the routines of "Prince of Tennis". I don't mean to say that "Prince of Tennis" is bad, but as far as sports animations are concerned, "Slam Dunk" It's really more like what I, a basketball lover, ideally want to be."
"Stop talking, I'll let the coach teach me how to play basketball!"
April.
Coming at the same time as another April without Miyazono Kaoru, there is also a big animation movie produced by Huaying, which is simply called "Unheard Flower Name". The sunlight of dawn passes through the gaps in the leaves, and falls on the girl's fair face with hazy eyes, and also falls on the bodies of her former friends who finally found her.
"Mianma, I found you!"
A simple sentence made the audience of countless theaters break their defenses in an instant. The box office of movies keeps rising again and again, and the sales volume of related audio-visual products soars.
"Really. A great healing movie."
"Is this the April of Huaying, wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
May.
"Danganlunpa" was launched at the same time as the game of the same name, and Bluestar Games has expanded into a brand new game type since then.
In June of the same year, the first episode of "Natsume's Book of Friends" was broadcast, and fans who were used to the knife were flattered: "Ju, it's really a healing system..."
"Is this kind of heartwarming plot real? I started to panic. Huaying didn't have a back-up plan, right? He first used the warm and healing plot to trick people into coming in, and then killed everyone instantly when they relaxed their vigilance. , Grass, I beg the dog thief to be a person, isn't pure healing fragrant?"
July.
"Dragon Ball" starts airing.
August.
The theatrical version of "Detective Conan", known as "Dream Link" with the Sherlock Holmes series, "The Dead on Baker Street" was screened in various theaters of Blue Star.
September.
Huaying fans who did not wait for the knife in "Natsume's Book of Friends" swallowed two big swords in "Naruto" on the other side.
One of the three ninjas who went deep into Ukage Village to spy on information, as Naruto's teacher, Jiraiya, after sending out valuable information, he has since been buried in the bottom of the water. The audience here had not yet recovered from Jiraiya's sword. On the other end, Uchiha Itachi closed his eyes forever after saying those familiar and gentle words.
"Forgive me, Sasuke, this is the last time."
October.
"One Piece", which was serialized at the same time as "Naruto", finally came to the climax of the top war.
In order to protect his younger brother Luffy, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the magma of Admiral Akainu pierced Ace's heart, and the rescue operation of the pirates has since failed. Luffy, who was seriously injured and fainted, was led by the Red Heart Pirates Walk. The most powerful man in the world and the leader of the Whitebeard Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, made a statement that influenced the entire era of great pirates——
"One Piece is real!"
November.
There is still one hour left before the animation of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" starts airing.
Mu Xingxing sat in the movie screening room, quietly watching the final product.
This is completely new territory.
Can the plot of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" stimulate the martial arts craze that has ceased? Will the audience accept animated expressions such as puppetry? Will people like Lu Xiaofeng, Ximen Chuixue, Huamanlou, Ye Gucheng and others be the shadows of the young Jianghu in the hearts of martial arts lovers?
The Shepherd Star doesn't know.
Mu Xing closed the huge display screen in front of him and turned around to walk out of the screening room. Unexpectedly, what Dai Yuyan said that day came to mind.
Are you tired of animation production?
Mu Suxing couldn't answer this question, and he wasn't in a hurry to answer it. Maybe one day, he would really get tired of animation production, but that was all after "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng". Right now, "Naruto" and "One Piece", which are regarded as the twins, have not yet ended, and "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", produced by him himself, is about to broadcast the first episode.
anyway--
A new journey has begun.
