My Animation Era

Facts have proved that Gu Miao was overly worried.

Ma Kui's reputation has not yet reached the level of foreigners coming here to seek refuge. They came to see Ma Kui, but they didn't know Ma Kui.

Precisely……

The three neon animation producers in front of them actually relied on CCTV to find the real owner Ma Kui in a roundabout way.

What?

Why are they looking for Ma Kui?

good question!

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

Then, the three men gave an answer that surprised everyone present.

The thing is actually very simple.

About a year ago, a well-known Neon animation supervisor named Koizumi was fired from the company because he messed up a Warring States-themed animation.

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

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

The classmate's words made the confused Koizumi's eyes light up, as if he saw hope of standing up again.

yes!

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

The popularity and audience size of this period of Three Kingdoms history in Neon is definitely exaggerated. Koizumi decided to make a Three Kingdoms animation to make a comeback, so he quickly roped in two friends and started the preliminary preparations.

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

As a result, when the three of them were excitedly debating whether this Three Kingdoms-themed animation should be called "The Strongest Generals" or whether it should be called "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" following the original work, Koizumi learned a piece of news.

his friend told him.

CCTV plans to adapt all four of China's great classics into animations for broadcast. 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 pour cold water on Koizumi, because the Romance of the Three Kingdoms came from China, and now the Chinese want to make their own animations, will anyone still pay attention to the Three Kingdoms animations he made?

This is not a copyright issue.

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has long expired the so-called copyright protection period. Anyone who wants to adapt it can adapt it, including foreigners.

But now Koizumi faces a problem. If he wants to create Three Kingdoms animation, it will definitely collide with CCTV’s Three Kingdoms animation.

Although they belong to Huaguo and Neon respectively and do not constitute a so-called competitive relationship, the two animations were produced so close together that they will definitely be drawn out for comparison...

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

It would be fine if we were sure that it would be better and more outstanding than the CCTV version. But the problem is, Koizumi doesn’t have company support now, so how can he be confident that he can do better than the CCTV version?

If you can’t beat it, then join!

Koizumi figured it out quickly. He went around asking about the production company and director of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" animation, and then he found Wanbao.

"so……"

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

"Yes!"

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

This is quite true.

Koizumi and his two companions did not fish for fish in the past year. Instead, they 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 are the attires of his soldiers? Does the legendary Qinglong Yanyue Sword of Master Guan actually weigh 82 kilograms?

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

After all, the production of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms animation is a arduous and vast project, and the preliminary preparations alone take a long time.

If the three Koizumis join, it will undoubtedly save a lot of time. After all, these three people have almost completed the preparatory work through a year of visits and research.

But the problem is...

Koizumi and his companions are Neon People.

If these three people were Chinese, Gu Miao and Ma Kui would definitely welcome them with their hands and feet raised without saying a word. After all, why not take advantage of what they got for free?

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

The animation adaptation of four major classics is a major event that people all over the country are watching. With three neon people on the production team, and they are also in high positions, it is inevitable that people will gossip about it.

Gu Miao hesitated.

Ma Kui didn't think too much about it. According to his idea, giving Koizumi the position of assistant director was fine. As long as he was still the project leader, it wouldn't make a big difference.

"You can't say that..."

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

"To put it harshly, if you ask a foreigner to adapt the four major classics, many people will not be able to accept it emotionally."

"This...this is true!"

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

"Need not!"

"I have a solution."

Gu Miao pondered: "Isn't Xiaoquan not affiliated with the company? Then let him join the Neon Branch. When we publicize it to the outside world, we will say that he is a manpower transferred from the branch."

The head office transfers manpower from the branch, so we can't just talk about it, right?

certainly!

Gu Miao didn't expect to block everyone's mouths by doing this, but only wanted to block some people's mouths.

Someone will definitely say it.

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

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

It's reasonable!

We are all from the same company, so internal job transfers are not enough?

This method is very good, but it also has a minor shortcoming, and that is Koizumi's own opinion. If he is unwilling 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", the Wanbao Neon Division is very attractive in the industry, and Koizumi accepted the invitation without much hesitation. .

After being fired by his former employer, he could still switch jobs and join another giant-level company to make the animation he likes. This salary is already very good.

As for putting more conditions?

Come on!

The attitudes of Gu Miao and Ma Kui were written on their faces. If he continued to be shameless, he would have no chance to get in the car.

The title of the previous chapter seems to have been misunderstood as the previous chapter to the ending... Ugh! Let me clarify, this is purely a misunderstanding...
