Chapter 240
In the past few days, whenever Mu Bai has time, he calls Ji Yuanjie and Liu Zhe to discuss with them the problems encountered in the creation.

Although the production of the animated short film was not as fast as planned, under Mu Bai's repeated emphasis, the preparation work was done solidly.

The main background in charge of Liu Zhe has been designed, and the storyboards in charge of Ji Yuanjie have also completed the first minute of the short film.

Mu Bai has seen all these, and it can be used only by modifying some details.

For the first time, Mu Bai really felt the depth of the studio. Although it was the first time to make an animated short film, everyone was a bit like a headless fly.

However, the quality shown by the backbone of the studio is beyond Mu Bai's expectation, and their design concepts have basically kept up with Mu Bai's pace.

There was no situation where Mu Bai had to teach everything in the game design work.

After Mu Bai had a concluding talk with Ji Yuanjie and Liu Zhe, Mu Bai felt that he didn't pay enough attention to the storyboard.

It should be said that the storyboard is the outline of an animation work. After completing the script, characters, and background design, the storyboard must be completed before it can be fully rolled out to draw the original painting.

Mu Bai kept this lesson in mind, first he asked most of the animation team's employees to temporarily return to the original team, and he, Ji Yuanjie and Liu Zhe drew up the storyboard as soon as possible.

Then Mu Bai found that it was still a bit slow for only the three of them to draw.

Moreover, Liu Zhe seems to be a bit "professional inappropriate". He has little contact with the production of "Inuyasha", and he doesn't have a good grasp of the camera sense.

For this reason, Mu Bai transferred several backbones from the comic group to participate in the production of the storyboard.

After working day and night on the storyboards, Cao Baosen came to report. Mu Bai briefly introduced the key members of the animation team, and then asked Cao Baosen to start working on his own.

Cao Baosen was not in a hurry to fulfill the duties of "executive director", but wandered around the studio while chatting with everyone.

This made Mu Bai very satisfied, and he also trusted the recommendation of the chubby executive director in Mao Ning's group.

During lunch, Cao Baosen responded to Mu Bai: "Director Mu, let me make a small suggestion."

"Say it!" Mu Bai looked at Cao Baosen while eating.

"Since director Mu is the director, we can't just draw storyboards on the painting team, but we must carefully sort out the work of the entire crew!"

Mu Bai smiled and said: "I agree with your suggestion, but I still have to continue to draw the storyboard.

"First of all, I didn't pay enough attention to the storyboard before. It was a mistake of mine. After realizing my mistake, instead of saying a few words of apology and everything will be fine, I should try my best to make up for this mistake.

"Furthermore, from the perspective of the studio, the first batch of funds for animation films from Pinghai Prefecture will arrive in early June.

"However, due to some reasons, it has to be delayed until tomorrow. When the funds arrive, the work related to the animated film will start to operate. Now the studio needs to prove its ability, so the sooner this animated short film comes out, the better!"

Cao Baosen nodded, did not continue this topic, but put forward a request of his own: "I hope Director Mu can complete the appointment of me at the studio meeting.

"At that time, I will talk about my priorities and the resources I need to call in detail."

Regarding Cao Baosen's reaction, Mu Bai expressed more satisfaction, the director must have absolute authority in the crew.The executive director can put forward his own suggestion, but if the director does not adopt it, the executive director cannot continue to insist.

This may seem unreasonable, but it is better than internal mutual constraints.

"That's no problem." Mu Bai thought for a while and said, "After the Pinghai Mansion's funds arrive tomorrow, we will have a small meeting, and I will announce your appointment at the meeting."

"Okay." Cao Baosen agreed and ate with a muffled head.

Mu Bai and others continued to draw until after ten o'clock in the evening, and finally completed the storyboard of the animation short film.

Under Mu Bai's strict requirements, the quality of this storyboard is still good.

The drawing of the original painting will start tomorrow, and Mu Bai has made a promise in advance that if he works in the studio all day these days and accepts the studio's overtime, Mu Bai will pay overtime pay and double salary.

So on the second day, more than 20 members of the painting group all asked for leave from the school, as if they wanted to eat and live here.

Before the work started, Mu Bai also mobilized. He announced that the first tranche of funds for the animated film, 1000 million, had been received. As long as everyone completed the original painting work conscientiously, they would be the backbone of the production of animated films in the future.

Amidst the loud applause from everyone, the work on the original painting started like a fire.

Cao Baosen also managed several crews, and it was the first time he saw such a vigorous crew.

Then Mu Bai called the main staff of the studio to go to the conference room to start. As soon as the meeting started, Mu Bai said: "The money from Pinghai Mansion has been called, and we have to express it.

"Show the script and character design to Xiao Minghui before we go to Pinghai Mansion to shoot the scene!"

In the previous negotiation with Xiao Minghui, a week after the exam, Mu Bai and a group of creative personnel will rush to Pinghai Mansion to take pictures.

Bai Xiaoqi was a little nervous: "This, this is too fast!"

She probably knew the time to go to Pinghai Mansion. The final exam would be in two days, and she would go to Pinghai Mansion in about ten days. Up to now, she hadn't received the task of writing a script.

"I'm already writing the script." Mu Bai said, "These two preliminary tasks are mainly completed by me. When I need help, I will let you participate."

Bai Xiaoqi was relieved at first, and then worried about Mu Bai. Mu Bai is really busy these days, drawing day and night, and now he has to write day and night.

What she didn't know was that Mu Bai enjoyed the process of fully firing, which made him full of energy, as if he always had endless energy.

Mu Bai said again: "Wen Jun needs to start contacting Dean Lin of the college, and start to do preliminary preparations, mainly manpower preparations. After the main design work is completed, we need a large number of original painting staff! "

Yang Wenjun nodded: "Good!"

Then Mu Bai introduced Cao Baosen, the executive director of the animation film, and formally completed his appointment.

Cao Baosen, as he said yesterday, briefly introduced his work, hoping that everyone can cooperate more in the future.

Then the meeting was over, Cao Baosen was still a little dazed while sitting on the stool, he said to himself: "The meeting is over now? Your ass is not even warm!"

However, he was quite excited about the high efficiency of the studio. This is where young people should stay.

After drawing the storyboard, Mu Bai handed over the original painting work to Ji Yuanjie and Liu Zhe, and handed over the subsequent preparation work to Cao Baosen.

He focused his main energy on the script of "My Neighbor Totoro". In his previous life, he had watched "My Neighbor Totoro" more than once. Although his literary skills were limited, it was still not enough to describe the whole story. questionable.

It's just that the place where the story takes place has changed from the Japanese countryside to the seaside of Zhou Guoping's Haifu, and some adjustments need to be made in some places.

As for the character design, Mu Bai originally wanted to copy the characters from "My Neighbor Totoro", but when he was doing the character design, he suddenly thought of a few old photos at home.

Mu Bai hurriedly asked his sister to take some old photos of his family, among them were Mu Bai, Yang Wenjun, and Qi Heng, three friends, Mu Bai and his old sister, Mu Bai's father, and Yang Wenjun hugging his younger brother when he was young. Put him to sleep.

After much consideration, Mu Bai decided to use these characters as prototypes for character design.

He had just started drawing, but Yuan Rui came over suddenly: "Director, the design drawings submitted to Gyeonggi Province have been answered, and my drawings have not passed the review of the Ministry of Industry."

After speaking, Yuan Rui sighed, looking a little depressed.

Mu Bai asked Yuan Rui to sit down: "Has Section Chief Qian ever mentioned the reason for rejection?"

"No, just say it's a pity this time, so don't let me be depressed." Yuan Rui said with a mournful face.

"It's a pity?" Mu Bai pondered in his heart: "The last time I received the job of modifying the design drawings, Wen Jun remitted [-] "introduction fees" to Section Chief Qian. Does this old boy think it's too little?"

Then Mu Bai stood up abruptly and said, "Come on, let's go to the Design Section and talk to Section Chief Qian."

Yuan Rui was a little dazed about Mu Bai's decision, but still followed Mu Bai's footsteps.

Mu Bai took the pair of vases that Yang Wenjun bought and came to Section Chief Qian's office.

Section Chief Qian didn't seem too surprised by the arrival of Mu Bai and Yuan Rui, and asked his secretary to serve tea.

Mu Bai didn't mention a word about the blueprints, he just said that he got a pair of vases by chance, and he didn't know much about porcelain, so he thought Section Chief Qian might like it, so he borrowed flowers to offer Buddha to Section Chief Qian.

Section Chief Qian shirked it for a while, then accepted it.

Then Mu Bai chatted about Gyeonggi Province: "I am a friend of Da Zhou News reporter Dao Da, and I just painted a mural for her some time ago, which was praised by many celebrities in Gyeonggi Province.

"A classmate of mine in Gyeonggi Province said that she also wanted to paint such a mural in her home, but her idea had to be approved by the king, so she had to give up in the end."

Section Chief Qian's hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly: "The king's consent?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce, my classmate lives in the palace." Mu Bai smiled harmlessly, as if he forgot some trivial matter just now.

Yuan Rui on the side was a little surprised, wondering where did the director come from such a good classmate?I don't quite understand what he meant by saying this.

Section Chief Qian put out his cigarette and said with a smile, "If that's the case, the blueprint you provided may turn a corner."

Of course, an old bureaucrat like Section Chief Qian can hear the "muscle show" in and out of Mu's vernacular.

He said in his heart: "I just said, Mu Bai has such a big property at such a young age, so it turns out that he has the royal family behind him!"

Section Chief Qian sighed and said: "I submitted three plans, and Lao Yuan's drawing was the most creative, but it was rejected. I don't know what the situation is, or you let your classmates go to work on it. Do you want to ask?"
