"I don't understand your new animation very much..."
In the morning, at Phoenix Building, Xu Jing rubbed his eyebrows and said to Meng Huo: "Isn't it too complicated?"
The first thing he did when he returned to Ninghai was that Meng Huo did not go to the animation department, but visited Xu Jing's office. During the chat, he handed over the new animation script that he had prepared to be produced by the animation department to Xu Jing for inspection, but after watching it for a long time, Xu Jing was still confused.
"No, this animation is really too complicated, don't you think about it again." He showed a headache. This is the most complicated script that Xu Jing has ever seen since he remembers. Even he couldn't figure out the plot for a while, and ordinary audiences felt even more confused.
However, Xu Jing's performance was expected by Meng Huo, and he explained: "This animation looks complicated because there is no obvious protagonist, the camera turns many times, and the relationship between the characters looks messy - but the story is actually quite simple."
"Simple?" Xu Jing put down the animation script written by "Wine of Eternal Life" and smiled bitterly: "I don't think this animation is simple at all. After reading it for a while, I feel that it is even more complicated than "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan"."
“This animation is definitely not going to be popular…”
Since the incident of "The Elf", Xu Jing rarely has objections to the animation works that Meng Huo wants to release, but this time, he really can't see the popularity of "The Wine of Immortality".
Even his words were quite conservative. If someone else saw these scripts, he would probably refuse immediately.
"Wine of Eternal Life" is not as simple as whether it will be popular. Its plot, characters, and time arrangement are fragmented, giving people a feeling of changing and incomprehensibleness. This level of complexity can be said to be "abstract". After reading the scripts of the previous few episodes, Xu Jing still doesn't understand what the animation is about.
Moreover, the atmosphere of "Wine of Life" is also dark and bloody. This will not be popular with the audience. It would be good if one out of ten people can watch it patiently - of course it is more inhuman than "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan".
"Are he too close to those directors? How come he started such a complicated animation..." Xu Jing couldn't help but think in his heart, and Meng Huo also knew Xu Jing's psychology very well. He suddenly said: "I don't expect this animation to be popular."
This sentence surprised Xu Jing. If he didn’t sell the market... wouldn’t he be selling reputation?
"Now we have so many popular animations in our hands, it is not necessary to launch another money-making animation." Meng Huo continued: "I want to take this opportunity to change the impression of mainstream media on animation. "Wine of Immortality" is a good choice."
"Mobile Suit Gundam 00", "Rebellious Lelouch", "Clannad" plus "The Magician of the Early Century", Meng Huo examined the effects of these works and determined that they could bring huge economic benefits to Phoenix in the first half of 2019 - so the benefits are no longer so important to Phoenix.
On the premise that the profit is guaranteed, Meng Huo certainly wanted to launch some animations with greater "influence" than "reward", and "Wine of Immortality" appeared in his hands.
First of all, "Wine of Eternal Life" is just the same length and can be broadcast in four months, and its quality itself is very high. Meng Huo knew "Wine of Eternal Life" in his previous life, but among a small number of adaptive groups, it was regarded as a masterpiece.
Of course, this is not Meng Huo's main purpose. His main purpose is to change the mainstream media's view of animation. Although animation has been told for many years, the media is still full of concepts that belittle animations are useless and have no technical content.
These concepts have blocked the further development of animation, and what Meng Huo wanted to do was to slowly break these concepts. So he had to launch some works that were jaw-dropping and had to admit animation technology, and Wine of Immortality is one of them.
"You actually think so much..." After hearing Meng Huo's explanation, Xu Jing was stunned: "Are you doing a big deal? Things have not developed to that level yet?"
"It has not developed yet, but who guarantees whether it will suddenly appear tomorrow..." Meng Huo shook his head. Animation is developing too fast. An industry that is rising rapidly will inevitably be rebounded by other industries. The main media and television industries are the first to bear the brunt of animation.
There are already many critical animation voices in mainstream media. Although they have not yet formed a scale, Meng Huo must be mentally prepared - he expects Phoenix's business to surpass Zhongxia this year, and once it surpasses Zhongxia, there will be more trouble.
In fact, society is under little pressure on animation now, mainly because the nominal ranking of animation is Zhongxia. Zhongxia has a heavy background and not many people dare to target them. But assuming that Phoenix is the first in animation, they can represent this industry, and the risks and criticism that come immediately will be terrible.
Meng Huo has no mistake in preparing for this. He has improved the depth and breadth of the animation and launched some more ‘technical’ and ‘ideological’ animations, so that they can stand firmer in the future and ding all doubts.
"..." Although I still felt a little too cautious, after hearing Meng Huo's words, Xu Jing nodded: "Okay, what you said is right. We can't always watch money. If we can launch an animation that will make others admire, it will also enhance the reputation of our company... But can "Wine of Immortality" do this?"
He recognized Meng Huo's idea, but Xu Jing still had questions about "Wine of Eternal Life".
"I have confidence, you will know after reading the script." Meng Huo laughed and said, "You don't understand the plot before you finish reading it. It's useless for me to tell you. I'll leave this script for you to read. I have printed a lot of copies."
He looked at the time, stood up and said goodbye to Xu Jing, "I have been chatting for a long time. I am going to the animation department now. If you are still not satisfied with "Wine of Immortality" after reading the script, I will consider changing the animation."
"Okay, I'll finish him seriously."
Xu Jing nodded with relief. At least Meng Huo didn't say anything to death, so there was still room for maneuver in this matter.
After watching Meng Huo leave the office, Xu Jing looked down at the script and turned two pages. His head became a little bigger again - "Did this kid make the clues of the script so messy? It's a test after reading it."
If you want to know why Meng Huo was optimistic, Xu Jing had to finish reading the script and sort out the story of "Wine of Eternal Life", but the feeling in this process reminded Xu Jing of the pain of being forced to take Chinese medicine by his mother when he was a child.
Although it is not easy to eat at all, he still has to patiently absorb it. (To be continued...)r1292
