Chapter 846: Drunkenness
However, it was not just Xu Jing, but after seeing the information about "Wine of Eternal Life", the animation department also caused an uproar.
"How could it be such an animation?", "This is not OK, teacher, this animation is not very interesting!", "And this animation is too difficult for us, and it is difficult to grasp the style!"
Without anyone figuring out the plot, the employees of the animation department were very embarrassed just by seeing some of the original paintings provided by Meng Huo. They were unhappy with the animation, and many people even began to complain that Meng Huo was deliberately making things difficult for them.
"Make it difficult for you?" Meng Huo was unhappy with their complaints: "How could it be difficult? If you want to be embarrassed, what is the director's planning ability in "The Wine of Eternal Life" is also the director's planning ability. What has to do with you painters?"
"But Teacher He Xi..." The painter refused to give in: "The gap between "Wine of Eternal Life" and "The Elf" is too big. It has suddenly changed from a cartoon style to a dark and bloody style. It is difficult for us to change it. Over the years, we have been accustomed to the style of "The Elf"!"
The painting of "Wine of Immortality" does not seem difficult, but the style change is too big. From "The Elf" to "Wine of Immortality" it is simply a transition between two completely opposite extreme styles, which really makes Ning Hai's painters very uncomfortable.
When Meng Huo heard this, his voice became cold: "What do you mean is that I hope I will come up with a new animation like "The Elf"?"
The noise among the painters suddenly became smaller, and one of the female painters whispered: "I think this is better. Anyway, this is just a transitional animation. In the future, we still have to draw back "The Elf". Of course, it is better for works with similar styles..."
Meng Huo looked at the other painters. The painters stopped their voices. Although they did not speak, the expressions they showed were obviously consistent with the female painter.
"..." A spark appeared in Meng Huo's heart: "I didn't say I wanted to hand over "Chong Yi Elf" to you for production."
His words were astonishing as he kept the painters blinded, but it was not over yet. Meng Huo continued: "Don't take it for granted that "Chong Elf" will always be created in your hands. The company has so many animation departments, and other departments are not inferior to you at all."
In fact, Meng Huo had never considered removing "Chong Yi Elf" from Ninghai before. Although other animation departments can also create "Chong Yi Elf", it is obvious that it is not as convenient as Ning Hai's original group, but his current idea has changed a little.
He found that Ninghai's painters began to become arrogant. It was obvious that "The Elf" could bring them glory. As the most popular long animation in China, every creator of "The Elf" will be envied by everyone in the same industry.
But because of this, the atmosphere of this animation part has changed, and I took "Chong Elf" in my hand for granted and rejected other animations. This situation is something that Meng Huo could not accept.
He had to warn. "The Wine of Eternal Life" is bound to be won. If the painters don't want to make this animation well, they won't even think about bringing "The Elf" back in the future. I wonder how many people want to rush to produce "The Elf". Meng Huo is not worried that the animation will be ruined if it leaves Ninghai.
In his warning, the painters were like a basin of ice water, and their heads were immediately awake and could no longer be sober. No one complained about the bad things of "Wine of Eternal Life".
In the evening, after finishing the first day of "Wine of Eternal Life", Meng Huo took the car to pick him up Alice and prepared to attend a mysterious dinner together.
"Is the new animation going well?" Alice asked in the car. She was busy dealing with negotiations with Zhongxia Company during the day, but was also very curious about Meng Huo's new animation.
"It's okay." Meng Huo nodded: "It was a bit unsuccessful at first, but it got much better later. I have kept the information and explained the detailed character design. They will practice it themselves in the next few days..."
Although Ninghai's painters once made Meng Huo angry, they were all experienced painters. In addition, the information prepared by Meng Huo was also very detailed. After a day of guidance, he was able to let go.
"Then you will return to Su Hua tomorrow?" Alice asked again.
"Well." Meng Huo nodded. He didn't need to care too much about the preparation of "Wine of Immortality". The necessary work was done during the annual leave: "I will come back in early March and let them officially start making animations."
"The Magician of the Early Century is not in a hurry for the time being. Have I asked you to do what I did?" Meng Huo turned his head and looked at Alice.
Alice smiled: "Do you talk about those two people from Teacher Tomato? I have already ordered that someone will pick them up to Yanjing tomorrow. When you are not here, they will fulfill your responsibilities... But those directors seem a little dissatisfied."
Meng Huo handed over the preparation of the movie to Tomato, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the four directors. However, Meng Huo had no intention of avoiding it. The production cycle of the movie was very long, and he did not have much need to pass it at this stage and there was a more urgent "Wine of Immortality", so he chose this.
"I will explain to them." He said to Alice. The directors' dissatisfaction is very simple to solve. In fact, Meng Huo did not intend to just let the directors participate in the production of the movie. He would also bring them together to make "Wine of Immortality".
"Wine of Immortality" is very different from ordinary animations in terms of production. It should be said that its technical requirements are very high, which is enough to attract those directors. Although the directors only hold shares in the film company, they still have to help Meng Huo produce animations in the contract.
The current film company cannot accommodate four directors. Meng Huo plans to take half a year to help these directors through "Wine of Immortality" and "The Magician of the Early Century", and even include "Clannad" and other animations, taking turns to let the directors help him to achieve the transformation of these directors.
The four directors are all big-name directors, and there is no need to question their strength or wisdom. It is more than half a year.
"How is your negotiations with Zhongxia?" Meng Huo asked Alice again: "When will the adaptation company be established?"
"It will be established soon...we've already agreed..." Alice smiled and said, "Otherwise, what do you think the dinner tonight is because of?"
Meng Huo was stunned. He was originally planning to go home for dinner tonight, but Alice said that the angel sent an invitation, which changed the itinerary: "Are you saying that they invited me to celebrate the successful negotiations of the new company?"
Meng Huo smiled bitterly: "This is too fast, I thought it would take a few more days."
"I thought it wouldn't be so fast at first, but they seemed to know about you building a new film company." Alice smiled and said, "They are more anxious than you now. "Clannad" is more important to Zhongxia than us, and Zhongxia company doesn't want to miss this opportunity."
During the Chinese New Year, the first batch of adaptations of "Clannad" were successfully completed. In this adaptation, Meng Huo and Angels almost did not decide the outcome. Even after half a month, the media is now full of praise for this animation.
All four lines are very popular, and the effect after the broadcast is even more amazing. The four TV stations have now started broadcasting for the second time, and each line miraculously maintains a rating that is almost the same as when it was premiered.
The reason for this phenomenon is that the audience of each branch line began to watch the plots of different lines. Before that, each line was quite popular. After the conversion, the ratings did not drop much. Instead, it attracted many newcomers because of the praise after the first batch of broadcasts.
The charm of "Clannad" is terrifying. Even by Meng Huo's side, Li Qin, after watching the plot of "Qinmei Line", has now followed the animation of other routes. Meng Huo estimated that she can follow "Clannad" this year and will not play it anymore.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhongxia Company is anxious. The success of "Clannad" is beyond imagination. The adapted animation of text adventure games shows a great ability to attract money. It would be strange if they are not in a hurry to set up a new company to share more game resources.
"But the angel is a little dissatisfied with the new company." Alice smiled again, "Be careful that they will give you wine later. I won't help with so many of them."
Meng Huo was puzzled: "What are their dissatisfactions?"
"It's not a big deal, you'll know when you go." Alice smiled, but did not give a specific answer.
After arriving at the hotel, Meng Huo met all the members of the angels. Zhongxia Company did not send anyone to participate. This dinner was more like a private party, and he was indeed besieged by the angels.
The reason is very simple because the location of the new company is located in Suhua, and the angels are quite unhappy.
"Teacher He Xi, you are only one person, we are all a group of people. Why should we place the new company in Suhua? Isn't this cheating us?"
In the new company, except for the management, the most core ones are Meng Huo and Angel. Their identity positioning is the same, but the address of the new company still gives Meng Huo convenience. In the future, when making animations, angels have to run from Ninghai and Su Hua often because of distance.
More than a dozen of them have to run in two places every week, and Meng Huo can reach the new company by just walking around Suhua City. Of course, it will make the angels feel unfair. They all want to vent their angers, but they can't do bad things, so it's okay to drink wine!
But Meng Huo did not admit defeat at all in this matter. He was not afraid of drinking. Meng Huo saw another situation. He had been running around for so many years and had been burying his hard work in his heart. Now, there was finally someone who could enjoy the same pain as him, but he was gloating.
However, if one person fights against a group of people, these people have a very good alcohol tolerance. Even Meng Huo, who can cheat, can't bear it after getting half of the angel drunk. (To be continued...)
