Chapter 294 Effort and Talent

Huang Yuze's father couldn't listen anymore. Sometimes he really wondered if he raised a fool: "Don't talk nonsense, listen to Brother Mu's arrangement."

"Oh." Huang Yuze also realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing when he got excited just now.

Mu Bai smiled helplessly, called Wu Jun over, and introduced to Huang Yuze: "This is your immediate leader, Wu Jun!"

Mu Bai had already told about Huang Yuze's coming, Wu Jun nodded to Huang Yuze, and Huang Yuze also quickly nodded to Wu Jun, which seemed to be reciprocity.

Mu Bai told Wu Jun: "Take extra time to stare at him. His basic skills are still solid, but the camera sense is not very strong, and the transitions are relatively blunt. You should explain to him some knowledge in this area."

Wu Jun nodded: "OK."

Dad Huang quickly thanked him: "Thank you, thank you for your trouble."

Wu Jun hurriedly said politely: "No, no."

"Let him practice first," Mu Bai said to Wu Jun again: "When you think it's almost done, let him draw five or six pages first, and if he gets better, then let him draw the last page."

The fifth or sixth page is the middle part of the animation, and generally the requirements are not very high.

However, the requirements for the last page are very high, and enough gimmicks and suspense should be left so that readers will look forward to the next chapter.

Wu Jun was somewhat surprised by Mu Bai's arrangement. He originally thought that Huang Yuze was a comic student, but now it seems that Mu Bai seems to have great expectations for him.

After explaining to Wu Jun, Mu Bai said to Huang Yuze again: "I hope you remember what you said before, and have enough patience to learn from the beginning. Only when your painting skills are recognized by Wu Jun will you be qualified to paint what you want to paint .”

Huang Yuze nodded immediately: "I understand."

"Arrange a drawing board for him, and come to work officially tomorrow." Mu Bai suddenly remembered: "Oh, yes, Director Bi, come here."

Taking advantage of Director Bi's arrival, Huang Yuze said, "I can start painting today!"

"Don't worry about this moment." Mu Bai said to Bi Zeyang who came trotting over: "This is a manga assistant who just arrived, you take him to the finance department to pay ten days' salary in advance.

"In the evening, I will book a hotel for the two of them, and it will be charged to the account of the studio. Oh, yes, he still needs to rent a house. You can give him some information about renting a house and let him go and have a look. If he needs help If so, send someone to help."

"Okay." Bi Zeyang agreed straight away: "This way, please."

The father and son followed Bi Zeyang to leave, just after walking a few steps, Huang Yuze's father suddenly turned around and bowed deeply to Mu Bai.

Huang Yuze was taken aback for a moment, and followed his father to bow.

Mu Bai quickly went to support Huang Yuze's father: "It's getting late, go quickly, maybe you can help Huang Yuze settle down."

But he didn't help Huang Yuze, and accepted his bow calmly.

After seeing off the father and son, Mu Bai went to check the coloring work of "My Neighbor Totoro".

In fact, this job is not very difficult. Mu Bai has already drawn a model for the coloring of the characters, so it's better for everyone to draw.

What you need to do is to fill the background color. There is not much to design in this program, but the whole work is rather cumbersome.

In addition, everyone can only attend classes for half a day from Monday to Friday, and there are only a dozen seniors who can guarantee full attendance for more than 20 days in these [-] days.

Mu Bai estimated that this work would not be completed until the beginning of September, so Mu Bai asked Zhang Hui to form a special programming team. As long as there was a coherent picture, it would be digitized immediately.

And use relevant animation software to enhance the coherence of the picture.

For several days, Mu Bai stayed in the studio. Whenever he had time, he started drawing the storyboards of "Inuyasha". After everyone started working, he went to focus on the coloring work.

Without this friend or that friend who needs him to accompany him, and without the necessary entertainment, Mu Bai enjoys the feeling of being immersed in the ocean of work.

In a few days, he drew more than 20 episode storyboards in one breath, and he couldn't use them all in a while.

The coloring work was smoother than expected, or in other words, after the experience of the previous storyboards and original paintings, the more than 20 original artists have already possessed a very high level, and work such as coloring is nothing to them challenge.

Zhang Hui's work has also begun. As long as there is a coherent animation, it will be scanned immediately and displayed on the computer.

After all the original paintings have been scanned, it is time to edit the film.

However, there should not be much editing for this movie. After all, the storyboard Mu Bai created based on the original "My Neighbor Totoro" storyboard, so there shouldn't be too many extra shots.

The first week of school has passed quickly, the weekend is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the school has two days off, and on Sundays and Sundays, everyone can rest together for four days.

Before the holiday, Mu Bai gave repeated orders to everyone, be sure to keep the drawings well, and don't put them everywhere, so as not to find a clue when you come back from the holiday.

While supervising everyone to pack up the sketches, Bai Xiaoqi came over suddenly: "Student Mu Bai, I have something to ask for your help."

The title "Mu Bai classmate" should be Bai Xiaoqi's patent. She has been called this since she first met. Although it sounds a bit out of place, but now both of them are used to it.

"What's the matter?" Mu Bai asked.Bai Xiaoqi has a temperament that likes to be bored in her heart, and she rarely asks herself for help.

Everyone around looked over, especially Ji Yuanjie's gaze, which made Bai Xiaoqi a little embarrassed: "That, that..."

"Let's go outside and talk." Mu Bai brought Bai Xiaoqi to the courtyard.

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening. There was no moon today, and there were only stars in the sky. A gust of breeze blew past, and it was already somewhat cool.

When they came to the courtyard, Bai Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, at the welcome party, can I ask you to write a poem, shall we recite it to the freshmen?"

"this one?"

"Ah." Bai Xiaoqi nodded innocently, this is the task that Hao Wenzhong just gave her today.

Mu Baixin said: "I thought I was going to do something unspeakable, and I would have to explain to Yuan Jie later."

Looking at Bai Xiaoqi who was a little nervous, Mu Bai sighed and said, "Yes, I can also compose a song for the poems, when the time comes, you all have a chorus!"

"Really?" Bai Xiaoqi looked excited, she overfulfilled the task!

Mu Bai smiled and said: "Why are you lying to me? When the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday is over, I will go to the Ancient Literature Department to help you rehearse."

"Okay!" Bai Xiaoqi said happily.

Back in the room, Mu Bai saw Ji Yuanjie's questioning gaze, and he quickly explained.

Ji Yuanjie pondered for a few seconds and said, "Why don't you make a show for us too."

In group activities such as the welcome party, the art department is at a disadvantage. You can't make a painting for everyone to see on the spot, right?
They are willing to draw, and the students may not necessarily have the patience to watch.

Therefore, the performances of the art department still have to move closer to programs such as singing and dancing.

It's just that they have been painting and drawing since they were young, and they are not good at singing and dancing, so the performance of the art department in previous evenings was not satisfactory.

"I..." Mu Bai was a little embarrassed: "Let me think about it, let me show you a boulder in the chest!"

Ji Yuanjie was taken aback: "What program is that?"

Mu Bai coughed twice: "Just kidding, why don't we draw something in advance and show it at the party?"

"Some brothers have used this method before, and the effect on the scene is very poor. The brothers and sisters have concluded that it is better to sing an out-of-key song!"

Mu Bai sighed, why did he feel an inexplicable sense of tragedy from Ji Yuanjie's words?
Seeing that Mu Bai was in trouble, Ji Yuanjie said, "Actually, I know how to play the piano. Although I can't play it well, I can do it well!"

She has to go on stage to play a song at any party, there is no way, the art department is too short of programs, usually just catch a sheep and squeeze it to death!
Mu Bai clapped his hands: "That's easy, I'll write you a piano piece, you can play it."

Ji Yuanjie nodded: "But don't make it too difficult, otherwise I might not be able to learn it."

"No problem!" Mu Bai smiled and said, "I'll find a piano room outside the school next week, and let's get familiar with the music first."

Mu Bai didn't take these two things too seriously. After the release of the four new songs in August, except for "Chengdu" which has been hovering in the top three, the other three songs have entered the top fifteen.

Release four songs of decent quality in a row, which is quite a feat on the "new chart".

Correspondingly, the downloads of the four songs have increased sharply, and Mu Bai estimates that this month's [Music Appreciation Value] can rise again.

So he didn't have any pressure on the two new songs he promised.

After the piano piece was finalized, Mu Bai called Fang Jiao and Zheng Huan over again: "How is your handover going?"

Since Fang Jiao decided to go to Qin, Mu Bai asked Zheng Huan to take over Fang Jiao's work.

Fang Jiao said, "It's almost time for the handover."

Mu Bai nodded: "That's good, next Monday you will come back first, and start making preparations to go to Qin."

Fang Jiao smiled and said, "Good!"

At this time, everyone has almost packed up and is ready to leave the studio and end today's work.

Mu Bai smiled at Fang Jiao: "Go and do your work! Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"

Fang Jiao also replied with a smile: "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

Zheng Huan stayed consciously and followed Mu Bai all the way to the courtyard.

There were no street lights in the yard, and the light coming from the studio illuminated the path in the woods quite brightly.

The two were strolling on the path in the forest, Mu Bai said: "I asked you before if you would like to be my full-time assistant. I didn't expect you to agree so happily. Do you know what it means to be a professional assistant?"

Zheng Huan smiled and said: "Of course I know, it's almost the same as committing yourself to it."

"Uh, although this statement is a bit nasty, it probably means this." Mu Bai then explained: "What I mean is that you and I will be tied together in the future, and you have to put yourself in my shoes, not to let You really promised yourself!"

"I understand." Zheng Huan said suddenly and seriously: "I know the director's concerns. Do you think the Zheng family has some reputation in Zhengyang Mansion. After graduation, will I return to work in the family business?"

Mu Bai said "hmm", he did have such concerns, that's why he wanted to talk to Zheng Huan, if he really had to leave the studio after graduation, then some jobs were not suitable for him to do.

Zheng Huan sighed: "There are many children in the family, even if it is my property back home, it may not be reused."

It was the first time for him to talk about the bad things at home with outsiders: "That's why I want to be a singer so much, and try not to return to the one-acre land in Zhengyang Mansion.

"But you have also seen that at my level, I can only be a resident singer in a bar, and it is very unlikely that I will become popular.

"So being the director's full-time assistant is also an opportunity for me."

Mu Bai patted him on the shoulder: "Study more with Vice President Yang and Director Bi. The studio will make big moves at the end of the year. We must seize the opportunity then."

Zheng Huan's eyes immediately lit up: "Definitely!"

This kind of thing is always close to the water. As long as you are always by the director's side, even if you just get some information from him, you will have more opportunities than others.

Early the next morning, Mu Bai originally planned to send Ji Yuanjie back, but unexpectedly, the palace sent a car to pick him up.

Mu Bai went to the studio again and continued to draw storyboards.

There are not many people in the studio today, only Huang Yuze and Wu Jun are here in the comic group, and now Huang Yuze has adapted to the schedule of the comic group.

According to Wu Jun, Huang Yuze is very hardworking. He comes at eight in the morning and leaves at ten at night. He has been painting except for eating.

Wu Jun persuaded him not to work so hard.

As a result, Huang Yuze said that he used to draw like this every day.

At first, everyone still had some opinions on Huang Yuze because this guy was not very good at talking.

But when everyone saw that Huang Yuze worked so hard and his painting skills improved obviously, everyone gradually began to admire him and were willing to communicate with him.

Mu Bai is relieved that Huang Yuze can work so hard. In the painting industry, too many people are ruined by their own talents. Mu Bai is afraid that he will not work hard after he comes.

Ma Jingping is also here today. During this time, he has fully understood the studio's business.

The more he knew, the more frightened he was. He didn't expect the studio's business to be so extensive. He knew about movies, comics, murals, and games a long time ago.

What he didn't expect was that the studio actually had a dedicated [-]D imaging team, such a professional team was the only one in the entire Zhou Kingdom.

Ma Jingping has always been curious about why Mu Bai spent so much energy on setting up such a group?The key is that they are not used often, and it is better to outsource some tasks to save worry and money.

He also asked Mu Bai about this, but Mu Bai said that it would be useful in the future, and he also wanted to expand the [-]D imaging team according to Mu Bai.

As for the software group and the architectural design group, Ma Jingping was even more surprised by the professionalism of the two group leaders. They are definitely the first-class software designers and architectural designers in China. I don’t know where Mu Bai poached these top professionals. talent?

When Mu Bai came to the studio, Ma Jingping was chatting with Du Ning in the program team. Du Ning had already decided to go to Qin State with him. He first got to know his technical manager.

When Ma Jingping saw Mu Bai, he ended his conversation with Du Ning, and said to Mu Bai, "Director, I want to bring Bi Zeyang to Qin to serve as the HR manager of the branch."

Mu Bai was stunned: "You really know how to choose!"
