The Strongest Animator [Rebirth]

fish?

what fish

Everyone was in a daze, but Mu Su Xing didn't intend to explain much. He thought for a while and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, you are now the management of Huaying, and you can only do animation. How about that?" , If someone can do a completed project analysis for this animation plan, I will prepare a brand new animation plan for him alone."

Fang Lian raised his hand: "Is there any requirement for this project analysis?"

"Of course," Mu Suxing said: "The project analysis requires detailed analysis of all the important nodes in the whole process of animation planning and operation. Question?"

It just so happened that these people had learned a lot, and it was time to be completely independent from his project team.

The people here in Huaying are smug and ready to do a big job, but those who are secretly looking forward to Huaying's bad luck are doomed to be disappointed this time.

Leaving aside Qiming Animation, which secretly hired sailors to lead the rhythm, but was discovered because of accidentally switching the wrong number—because of the bold statement in the screenshot that "this audience is not good", this animation company can be said to know almost everyone about this incident. The audience has been offended many times, and even the popularity of a TV series recently launched by its main company, Qiming Film and Television, has plummeted to freezing point.

After all, what the suspected Qiming employee said was "this year's audience is not good", not "this year's animation audience is not good". The production company has been so sarcastic. It is the audience who really likes Qiming TV series. Yes.

In contrast, "The Prince of Tennis", which is getting hotter day by day with the update of the animation series.

After the initial run-in period and the rough daily interactions, Echizen Ryoma quickly integrated into Seigaku.With the start of the regional preliminaries of the national competition, the plot of "The Prince of Tennis" is getting better.

Although the whole animation takes Echizen Ryoma as the protagonist, it doesn’t favor one over another. Whether it’s a player from Qinggaku’s tennis club or a competitor from other school’s tennis club, almost every character has its distinctive and unique charm. Everyone has their own beliefs and dreams, and because of this, even audiences who are indifferent to the protagonist group can often find their favorite characters in the animation.

Not only that, but the audience of "The Prince of Tennis" is not limited to a specific gender or age group.The younger audience watched it with gusto, and the audience who had read countless films also watched it with great interest.

Even in the days when "The Prince of Tennis" is not updated, fans are still happily discussing animation-related topics.Male fans are busy studying the ranking of characters in the animation, guessing who will face whom in the next game; female fans prefer to analyze the character of the characters, and discuss which CP is more interesting. For a while, it is also fun .

At the same time, the real world away from Two-dimensional has undergone some subtle changes along with the popularity of "The Prince of Tennis":

The tennis packages of Wang Wang in major sports stores are selling well, even children aged [-] and [-] start playing tennis against the wall. Tennis uniforms of colleges and universities were also sold out.

In fact, in the initial stage, these team uniforms were not as crazy as they were sold. However, I don’t know which fan took pictures of the team uniforms and uploaded them to the Internet after buying the team uniforms. :

"There is nothing to say about the quality of the clothes. I thought that the peripheral clothes like this should be superficial, but it turned out to be really comfortable to wear, and it is also very convenient to play tennis. Like this kind of cosplay, the ability to retreat You must buy the clothes you wear as normal clothes! Rounding off the figures, you can count yourself as wearing the clothes of a male god, wouldn’t you be happy?"

Passerby:?There is such a saying?

fan:! !Makes sense! !Go, go, go!

As a result, major chain stores sold out in one day, and many parents asked Lux ​​if they would consider releasing a children's clothing version.

It seems that tennis has become the most popular sport nowadays.

As a tennis fan before Prince of Tennis, Lin Chuchu is undoubtedly the one who feels the most.

That day, when she visited Huaying headquarters, she accidentally saw Huaying’s tennis team building activities. Tennis animation has never been seen before, and it has achieved such brilliant results despite being slandered by the navy.

and……

Thinking of this, she raised her head and looked at the people in the classroom who were chatting enthusiastically.

This is a lounge on the second floor of the Xingning University gymnasium. Usually, whenever there is an official game in the school, this classroom will be used as a temporary locker room for the participating departments.In the past, this was exclusive to the football and basketball clubs. The tennis team usually didn't even have the list of entries, let alone the right to use the locker room.

However, with the popularity of "The Prince of Tennis", many students who were originally indifferent to tennis have also become interested in tennis. This year, as many as 20 newcomers were selected after their tennis club passed the test. Compared with the deserted before, It can be said that it is in full swing.

"Captain, you really don't want me to play? It's not me. I practiced hard for a long time yesterday and finally learned to spin the serve. I'm so handsome..."

"What a handsome fart, captain, don't listen to him, what kind of outspin serve is he, it's just a random hit, watch my giant bear fight back! This is called tennis, okay?"

Then she saw the minister who was worried about not making enough lists last year rolled his eyes, and said angrily, "Both of you, get out of here!"

Seeing that Lin Chuchu almost didn't laugh out loud.

Walking out of the locker room, at this moment, the tennis court, which has never been very popular, is equally lively. The auditorium that used to be sporadic in the past is already full of spectators. Prepare to be photographed for next week's school magazine.

Before "The Prince of Tennis", all of this was almost unimaginable to her.

When the players from both sides entered the arena, before the game started, there was a burst of laughter from the audience, and Lin Chuchu couldn't help laughing. Coincidentally, almost all the players in their tennis club wore Qing Xue's team uniforms, while the opponent's tennis club They chose Bingdi's team uniform as the uniform, which is really ridiculous when viewed from a distance.

Who would have thought that it was this tennis animation that was once considered to mislead the audience, but now it has pushed this rather unpopular sport to the public?

At the same time, in Xicheng District, Xingning City, the provincial team tennis training center.

As the first stage of training came to an end, the players walked off the court in twos and threes, chatting casually while taking advantage of the rest time to replenish water.

At this moment, one of the teammates who was familiar with Xie Ge said enthusiastically: "By the way, Xie Ge, when you were training just now, your last counterattack was the giant bear counterattack of the second Zhouzhu, right? I thought that in reality It's impossible to have such a skill, how did you do it?"

Xie Ge thought for a while: "You mean the chipper behind me?"

He shook his head with a smile, and said seriously: "Actually, strictly speaking, I didn't really realize the giant bear's counterattack. Cut the ball, I can't do that."

The teammate retorted: "It's inevitable that the animation will be a little more exaggerated than the reality. If I really want to say it, I think your last slice is the three-dimensional version of the giant bear's counterattack—"

When he said this, he didn't deliberately lower the volume, and attracted many players around to look at him, as if they were very interested in this topic, and at this moment they said in a hurry: "The bear strikes back? Which one?"

"Is there really a giant bear fighting back?"

"I saw it just now. It's the lob shot by Ji Tengchang, right? It's so handsome!"

Probably did not expect so many people to watch "The Prince of Tennis", the few people who spoke couldn't help being stunned for a moment, subconsciously said in unison: "Hey, you also watch the king of the net?"

"Such a popular animation is about tennis, of course you should watch it."

"Don't tell me, although many tennis tricks in this animation are a bit exaggerated, the plot is still very good-looking. I even tried the tricks in it secretly. If I'm lucky, some tricks can actually be copied. It can only be used for playing in private training, and it is not very practical for normal competitions.”

With such a beginning, a group of professional players who have watched "The Prince of Tennis" simply took this as a topic and discussed the feasibility of tennis tricks in animation.

"Strictly speaking, it is really difficult to achieve a giant bear counterattack, but I also think that Xie Ge just now can be said to be a three-dimensional version of a giant bear counterattack. It is not impossible to purely cut the ball with the back, but it depends too much on luck. Can only rely on Meng."

"That's not necessarily true, maybe the Shepherd Star can do it?" Someone joked: "Didn't he hit a three-dimensional version of an outspin serve before? Why don't you invite one of you, and we will play in private." Have fun."

……

Taking the animation they like together as the topic, the players naturally talked and laughed.

Except Yao Libei.

It's not that his teammates deliberately isolated him. Although many people thought his remarks on Weibo that day were too sensitive, they didn't have any opinion on him because of this. It's just that Yao Libei himself said that Wang Wang was misleading. The audience, calling on the netizens to boycott, now seeing his teammates all praise Wang Wang, needless to say his inner embarrassment.

Not to mention joining their "Internet King Kua Kua Group".

No one answered, Yao Libei had no choice but to take out his mobile phone, pretending to be concentrating on playing with his mobile phone, but just now he unlocked the lock screen, a push about the excellent cosplay of "The Prince of Tennis" popped up. With a flick, I almost dropped my phone.

What the hell, why is it haunting?

Yao Libei was so angry that he wanted to smash his phone, when the coach just happened to walk in.

He actually didn't like this coach very much, but it was rare to breathe a sigh of relief at this moment. It was the break time, and the coach obviously had other important things to come over. At least the others could stop that damn topic.

However, I don't know if it was his illusion. Although the coach had a smile on his face, he glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally.But soon, the coach looked away, turned to the players and said with a smile:

"A good news, a bad news, which one do you want to hear?"

Xie Ge thought for a while: "Then the bad news."

"The bad news is that your training tomorrow will be cancelled."

"Isn't this good...cough cough cough, this is really the worst news I've heard today," a player said solemnly: "What about the good news?"

"The good news is that there is a top sports brand interested in signing a sponsorship contract with our provincial team, and the negotiation is almost done. Tomorrow will be spent shooting a promotional video." The coach said with a smile.

Some players were surprised: "I remember those top sports brands have always only signed football's rich clubs and big-name stars?"

It should be said that before this, there were not no tennis players who received sponsorship from big brands—but Sheeger was the only one.This is because Xie Ge's strength, appearance and popularity coexist.

Ordinary professional players like them, these big brands would never take a second look, let alone pay for sponsorship.

"Tennis wasn't so attractive before, but now," the coach smiled, looking in a good mood: "Tennis is no longer the unpopular sport it used to be. I heard from my friend who runs a club. , In the past two weeks, there have been countless customers who have taken the initiative to sign up for tennis lessons, and the number of customers is almost the total of last year."

Everyone looked at each other.

As professional tennis players, they don't say they know everything about what happened in Blue Star's tennis circle, and there is no problem understanding most of it. Last year was the same, and there is no possibility of raising public attention out of thin air.

Then, there is only one reason left.

"Damn it!" Teng Chang was shocked: "I used to always call Huaying's father, but I never thought that now Huaying has really become a father..."

Xie Ge also looked surprised.

In fact, when he was watching the premiere of "The Prince of Tennis" that day, he didn't think about the possibility of the king of tennis driving the development of tennis, but he also knew how ridiculous it is to put the hope of spreading tennis culture on an animation. At that time, it was just a thought that flashed through his mind.

But that delusion that even he hadn't considered the possibility has become a reality within reach.

After the initial surprise, everyone soon cheered up again.

No one would think that money is low, not to mention that it is difficult for professional tennis players to get sponsorship from sports brands, let alone top sports brands.

In the past, it is not that no one envied the attention of sports such as basketball and football in Blue Star, but they can only envy it. Now, although tennis is still not comparable to world sports such as football, it can be compared with football. As it is now, being valued by more people is enough to make them happy.

"By the way, coach, you said it's a top sports brand, which brand is it? Spring Star? Light Step? Or Lux?"

Soon, Yao Libei understood that the coach's seemingly casual glance just now was not his illusion.

Because the coach didn't answer the question immediately, but turned his head slightly and looked at Yao Libei: "It's Lux."

Yao Libei's heart sank.

"That's right, it's the recently popular animation, the sponsor of "The Prince of Tennis". They plan to launch a series of sportswear based on the plot of the animation. Considering that the king of the net is about tennis, they decided to find a professional tennis player to cooperate with."

Speaking of this, the coach paused for a moment, and then continued: "Because the new series is equivalent to the sportswear around "The Prince of Tennis", considering your previous inappropriate remarks on the Internet, Lux needs to take into account the feelings of animation fans, so You are not on the list this time."

His tone was very gentle, and did not mean to blame, it was more like simply stating a fact, but just that was enough to make Yao Libei's face burn with pain.

The provincial team has not received such a big-name sponsor as Lux for a long time.

If Xie Ge was the one who was asked to be eliminated today, the high-level executives might dismiss it on the grounds that "the provincial team is a whole" seems to be reasonable, but in fact, the object is that the strength and popularity can only be ranked in the middle of the provincial team. If the old Yao Libei said, the higher-ups would naturally not care about his feelings.

Isn't he just an ordinary player?If Party A wants to get rid of it, then get rid of it, what a big deal.

There was silence in the living room.

Everyone's eyes subconsciously fell on Yao Libei, but no one said anything. In the final analysis, this matter was all caused by Yao Libei himself. The risk of disgust speaks for him.

Facing everyone's mocking gazes, Yao Libei gritted his teeth and said stiffly: "...I see."

"Okay, that's about it. The director will discuss the specific shooting matters with you tomorrow. Continue training now!"

No one knew what mood Yao Libei was in when he was rejected by Lux, but Lux Company, which resolutely said "No Yao Libei", was undoubtedly the happiest at this time.

Without him, in the past five years, although Lux Company has become the three major sports brands that can be as famous as Qingta and Quanxing in name, but in terms of actual sales, it has always been inferior to Qingta and Quanxing.However, in the two months since "The Prince of Tennis" was broadcast, the company's sportswear has overtaken for the first time!

It's not the kind of overtaking between brothers, but with an indisputable huge advantage, it won the monthly sales champion for two consecutive months for the first time!

This is why Lux additionally asked to eliminate Yao Libei when discussing cooperation with the provincial team.

They still want to continue to cooperate with Huaying. Although Huaying didn't take Yao Libei seriously, Yao Libei's remarks that day were seen by all fans, whether it was for not to To offend fans, or to express their sincerity of cooperation to Huaying, this person is not acceptable.

As for Yao Libei's feelings?

Who cares.

In fact, as the department manager who decided to cooperate with Huaying from the very beginning, Wang Gang can be said to be so complacent and high-spirited at the moment, why would he pay attention to an unknown tennis player?

"Congratulations, congratulations, brother Wang. After all, this is the second time Lux has won the sales championship, right?" Are you going to be promoted?"

Wang Gang said modestly: "If you don't dare to act, our Lux is just lucky for a while. If you really want to compare the background, of course it can't compare with the famous Quanxing and Qingta. In the final analysis, Huaying's products are still outstanding. Our Lux is nothing but the light of the painting, it’s nothing.”

"You can't say that," the man said with a smile: "There are so many sports brands, why did Huaying choose Lux instead of other companies? It can be seen that the conditions given by Brother Wang are the most sincere. At that time No one knows whether Huaying can succeed, but Brother Wang agreed to Huaying's conditions without hesitation knowing that there was a risk, after all, isn't Brother Wang good-looking?"

Wang Gang then laughed: "I really can't say that. For this matter, Huaying really hasn't found any other company."

"Oh?"

Wang Gang bent his lips, as if trying to hide his complacency, but this action obviously made him look even more complacent: "It is said that after Huaying established the project, it approached us Lux immediately, and it was done from beginning to end. There is nothing wrong with other companies."

……

The two of them chattered about their business with each other, but it was not so pleasing to the eyes of "other companies".

As the head of Quanxing's sales department, Ye Yongrui even rolled his eyes secretly, and it took a lot of effort to hold back the desire to leave early.He didn't want to hear the person in charge of Lux bragging, so he could only hide away from the side, not listening to their conversation.However, even so, the depression in my heart is not less.

Ye Yongrui has no preference for watching animation.

Only this time, when the dinner party was over, when he returned home from the hotel, he uncharacteristically searched for the animation of "The Prince of Tennis" on the Internet.

It's just an animation.

But it is such an animation that makes Lux, who is the third child of ten thousand years, turn over and become the boss twice in a row. It may not be a big sales champion for a month or two, but if Quan Xing turns a blind eye to the reasons for Lux's success, then this Occasionally, I am afraid that sooner or later it will become the norm.

With this in mind, Ye Yongrui quickly clicked on "The Prince of Tennis", and watched the first episode with an attitude like a research paper.

When Echizen Ryoma took out his tennis racket and was about to teach the villain high school student how to play tennis, Ye Yongrui's eyes were fixed on... the tennis racket in Echizen Ryoma's hand.

Real audiences watch the plot, while fake audiences like Ye Yongrui naturally watch commodities.

It is also because of this that when ordinary viewers are addicted to the plot of the animation, Ye Yongrui can see the "hands and feet" made by Mu Suxing on the tennis balls, tennis rackets and team uniforms in the animation at a glance.

It may be a bit exaggerated to say that it is "hands and feet". Ye Yongrui does not understand animation production, but the fact before him at this moment is that almost all the items that appear in the animation and correspond to the products on the shelves of Lux Company are unusually delicate. .

It’s not that the animation itself isn’t refined—it’s like a top model shooting an advertisement. Although the model itself is enough to attract everyone’s attention, it doesn’t make itself stand out. Instead, it uses its own temperament to set off Party A. The products look more and more beautiful and eye-catching, arousing the desire of viewers to buy.

This is the case with the "careful machine" designed by the pastor in "The Prince of Tennis".

The exquisite graphics and excellent plot make the team uniforms look more handsome, and the exquisite and unique clothing designs make the characters look more imposing during the game.

The two are not in conflict—or rather, it is the complementarity of the two that has contributed to the skyrocketing sales of Lux!

Is this shadow boss a monster?

After understanding Mu Suxing's intentions, Ye Yongrui watched "The Prince of Tennis" again, and the more he watched, the more heartbroken he became.

What kind of mind does this guy have?This painting, this game plot, and this effect... this is too handsome!It looks even more impressive than the advertisements that their company used to pay a lot of money to shoot!

Not to mention the audience, he, who is from the opposite company, was so excited when he saw this set of equipment, he wished he could go back to two months ago, tear up the contract between Huaying and Lux, and let them go to Quanxing!

Because of such a discovery, until Ye Yongrui returned to work in the company the next day, he couldn't get out of the depression of missing opportunities.

Seeing that the general manager of his family was absent-minded and preoccupied all day, the assistant who came to deliver the materials couldn't help asking: "General Manager Ye, is there something on your mind?" Or did something major happen to the company?

Ye Yongrui said deeply: "Do you know about the cooperation between Lux and Huaying?"

The assistant was slightly taken aback, wondering if it was because General Manager Ye was scolded by his superiors because he was overtaken by Lux this time, and he felt unhappy?

She was thinking about her words and was about to comfort her manager when Ye Yongrui said with a serious face: "I heard that when Huaying was considering cooperation partners, it didn't invite several companies at the same time, but went to the company first. Lux, because Lux agreed to their request immediately, so I didn’t look for other companies.”

Assistant: "Uh, that's right..."

Ye Yongrui confirmed with her: "Until two months ago, our Quanxing was the most powerful sports brand of Blue Star, right?"

The assistant didn't know why, but he still nodded and tried to comfort him: "General manager, actually... until now, our Quanxing is the best sports brand of Blue Star, although Lux surpassed it because of "The Prince of Tennis". We are on one side, but only on the tennis side."

Ye Yongrui's face was deep, serious and serious: "Tell me, don't they like us? Otherwise, why did Huaying not want such an awesome brand like ours, but went to find that Lux instead?"

assistant:?

No, it's about whether you like it or not?

Does the general manager of her family have a lot of drama today?

Of course Ye Yongrui didn't know if the assistant was already thinking about the dinner he went to last night, and whether his brain had been broken.As a person in charge with a far-sighted vision, he couldn't think much more right now, and when he slapped the table, he stood up from his seat: "No, I have to talk to the person in charge of Huaying!"

How could they simply ignore them just because their Quan Xing was so awesome?Shouldn't this business cooperation be the cooperation between the most powerful company and the most powerful company?

He doesn't agree!
