My Animation Era

  Chapter 917 If you can't beat it, then join!

  Facts have proved that Gu Miao was overthinking.

   Ma Kui's reputation has not yet reached the height of a foreigner's intentional defection. He came to look for Ma Kui, but he didn't know Ma Kui.

Precisely…

  The three neon animators in front of me are actually relying on the relationship of CCTV, so they beat around the bush to find the real master Ma Kui.

What?

  Why are they looking for Ma Kui?

good question!

   When he learned that the three people in front of him asked people everywhere, and finally found out the location of Ma Kui's company from CCTV, and hurried over by high-speed train, Ma Kui asked this question.

  Then, the three of them gave a reply that surprised everyone present.

  Things are actually very simple.

  About a year ago, a well-known neon animation supervisor named Koizumi was fired by the company for messing up a Warring States-themed animation.

   Koizumi, who was in a depressed mood, got drunk in a tavern every day, and happened to meet a former classmate, and the two chatted until the Three Kingdoms era.

   "If it was the Three Kingdoms, it would be interesting, right?"

  A word from a classmate brightened Koizumi's eyes, as if he saw the hope of standing up again.

yes!

   If it is the Three Kingdoms era, then it must be possible, right?

  The popularity and audience of the history of the Three Kingdoms in Neon is absolutely exaggerated. Koizumi, who decided to make a Three Kingdoms animation turnaround, quickly attracted two friends and started the preparatory work.

  The three of them came to Huaguo, visited various places of interest and historical sites, looked for creative inspiration, and collected various materials.

   As a result, the three of them were in high spirits, arguing whether the animation with the theme of the Three Kingdoms should be called "The Strongest General" or "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" following the original work, and Koizumi got a piece of news.

  A friend told him.

  CCTV intends to adapt all four of Huaguo's famous novels into animation broadcasts, and the first confirmed project is "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". It is said that a director and production company have been found.

   Ah this?

   This news can be said to have poured cold water on Koizumi, because the Romance of the Three Kingdoms came from Huaguo, and now the people of Huaguo want to make their own animations, so will anyone pay attention to the animations of the Three Kingdoms he made?

   This is not a copyright issue.

   "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has long passed the so-called copyright protection period. Anyone who wants to adapt it can adapt it, and foreigners are the same.

   It’s just that Koizumi is facing a problem now. If he wants to do Three Kingdoms Animation, he will inevitably collide with CCTV’s Three Kingdoms Animation.

  Although they belong to Huaguo and Neon respectively, they do not constitute a so-called competitive relationship, but the production time of these two animations is so close, they will definitely be pulled out for comparison...

   The comparison is not terrible, whoever is worse is embarrassed!

   It’s okay if he is confident that he can do better and better than the CCTV version, but the problem is, since Koizumi doesn’t have company support now, how can he have the confidence to do better than the CCTV version?

   If you can't beat it, then join!

  Koizumi figured it out quickly, and asked about the production company and director of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" animation, and then found Wanbao.

"so…"

  After listening to Koizumi's narration, Gu Miao grinned and said, "What you mean by cooperation, do you mean letting the three of you join the production team of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?"

"Yes!"

   Koizumi blushed a little, and said bravely: "We have done a lot of preparatory work for the Three Kingdoms Animation, and I believe that your company will definitely use these materials and experience."

   This is true.

  Koizumi and his two companions did not fish for fish in the past year, but actually visited many places and collected a lot of useful information.

   Give a simple example.

   What kind of armor did generals in the Three Kingdoms period generally wear? What is the dress of the soldiers under him? Is the Qinglong Yanyue Knife of the legendary Guan Erye worth eighty-two catties?

   These things can really help the production team of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" a lot, and can also save Ma Kui a lot of time and energy.

   After all, the production of Romance of the Three Kingdoms animation is a arduous and huge project, and the preparatory work alone takes a long time.

  If the three of Koizumi join in, it will undoubtedly save a lot of time. After all, these three people have almost done the preparatory work after a year of visits and research.

   But the problem is...

  Koizumi and his companions are Neon people.

  If these three people were from Huaguo, Gu Miao and Ma Kui would definitely raise their hands and feet to welcome them without saying a word.

  The embarrassment lies in the neon identities of these three people.

  The animation adaptation of the four major classics is a major event that people all over the country are staring at. There are three neon people in the production team, and they are still in high positions, so they will inevitably be gossiped.

  Gu Miao was hesitating.

   Ma Kui didn't think too much about it. According to his thinking, it's okay to give Koizumi the position of assistant director. As long as he is still the project leader, nothing will happen.

   "You can't say that..."

  After arranging Koizumi and the others to rest in the reception room, Gu Miao said to Ma Kui, "This is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, an animation adaptation of the four major classics, which is of great significance."

   "To put it bluntly, if you ask a foreigner to adapt the four classics, many people can't accept it emotionally."

   "This... this is true!"

  Ma Kui scratched his head and said, "Then send Koizumi and the others away. It just takes a little more time. We can do well without them."

"Need not!"

   "I have a solution."

  Gu Miao pondered: "Isn't Koizumi not affiliated with the company? Then let him join the Nihong branch. When we publicize it, we will say that he was transferred from the branch."

  The head office has transferred staff from the branch office, so you can't gossip, right?

certainly!

  By doing this, Gu Miao didn't expect to be able to shut everyone's mouths up, as long as they could shut up some people's mouths.

   Said that someone will definitely say it.

  But as long as Koizumi first takes up the position of the Neon branch, and then joins the production team of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", many criticisms will be untenable.

  After all, Gu Miao and Ma Kui can explain that the headquarters is short of manpower. In order to ensure that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" will not be affected, they specially dispatched manpower from the branch to support...

   Reasonable and reasonable, okay!

  Everyone is from the same company, so internal job transfer is not enough?

  This method is very good, but it also has a shortcoming, which is Koizumi's own opinion. If he refuses to accept it, no matter how good the method is, it will be useless.

   Fortunately!

With popular animations such as "Sailor Moon", "Dragon Ball", "Pretty Cure" and "Dragon Ball Z", Wanbao Neon Division is very attractive in the industry. Koizumi nodded and agreed without much hesitation when receiving the invitation .

  Being fired by the former employer, and being able to jump ship to join another giant-level company to do the animation you like, this is already a very good salary.

   As for more conditions?

Come on!

  Gu Miao and Ma Kui's attitudes were written all over their faces. If he was shameless again, he would have no chance to get in the car.

   The title of the last chapter seems to have been misunderstood as the first part of the ending...Ugh! Just to clarify, pure misunderstanding...
