Pang Wenhua is very excited. He is the producer and director of the Beiyu Studio, which was opened by him and his good brother Fang Zhou. They are not newcomers. Classmates, a club, and joined an animation company after graduation.

Pang Wenhua’s dream is to become a professional producer, while Fang Zhou wants to become a famous animation supervisor in the world. The two are full of expectations, and the animation industry has been working hard. Originally, they thought that as long as they could get through it, they would definitely show their talents. opportunity for talent.

But the reality is often cruel. Outsourcing, continuous outsourcing, has been trapped in bottomless oppression. In the past five years, I have not been able to obtain works that I am responsible for alone. A few days ago, the two resigned together and joined several partners. Together, they set up the Beiyu Studio.

I want to realize my dream, but it is not as smooth as I imagined. I have been in the industry for five years, but there are not as many contacts as I imagined. It has been a month since Beiyu Studio was established. In addition to outsourcing, a real Plans are not available.

I don’t have enough connections, and the studio didn’t have a shot at the beginning. Not to mention TV animation, there are very few outsourced projects that can be received, and it has fallen into a vicious circle. He believes that it is so difficult to receive plans now because of his own lack Since I can’t wait, it is better to take the initiative to attack, at least, it is far better than waiting here aimlessly.

In fact, he found a lot of magazines to buy animation adaptation rights, but all of them were rejected, and no one was willing to adapt his works to a small studio that had never heard of it.

Not even asking to meet the original author.

And just a few days ago, Pang Wenhua accidentally bought a book of Zijin Magazine, and happened to see “The Forest of Firefly” drawn by Chen Zijun. The warm and slightly sad plot made him very happy. It was introduced to Fang Zhou, and he liked it very much.

Therefore, with the idea of ​​giving it a try, he went to Zijin Magazine. Originally, he already had the idea of ​​failure, but he learned that the original author of the comic, Mr. April Breeze, agreed with him. , This was the first time for him, and hope was rekindled in his heart, which naturally made Pang Wenhua very excited.

The next day, the two of them came to Qiufeng Cafe early. The place was not big, but it was clean, and they were waiting silently.

……

“You want to ask for leave? Is it because of something?” Jiang Ruyu looked curiously at Chen Zijun who came to ask for her leave.

During this period of time, she no longer hated Chen Zijun before, and she also knew his character. Besides, her cousin Jiang Aixue said good things about him all day long.

“I have something to deal with this afternoon.” Chen Zijun said inconveniently.

“Okay.” Jiang Ruyu readily agreed.

After eating in the cafeteria at noon, Chen Zijun set off for the place, accompanied by Su Jing. The two were still half an hour away from the agreed time. Chen Zijun felt that he was early enough, but he didn’t expect the other party to arrive. What time is this? just come?

Before coming, Su Jing had roughly told Chen Zijun their identities. The strong one in black was the producer Pang Wenhua, and the thin one was the supervisor Fang Zhou.

As for Pang Wenhua and Fang Zhou, they also observed Chen Zijun as soon as they entered the door. They only saw editor Su Jing standing with an overly young man, and they didn’t think this was the “April Breeze” teacher they were looking forward to.

“Let me introduce to you, this is Teacher April Breeze, Zijun, this is Pang Wenhua’s producer, and the other is Fang Zhou’s supervisor.”

“Hello.”

“Hello, hello, Teacher April, nice to meet you, please take a seat.”

Chen Zijun and Su Jing sat opposite them, and Pang Wenhua called the waiter over and ordered four cups of coffee.

After the coffee was served, Pang Wenhua said straight to the point: “That’s right, Teacher April, that’s right, we intend to buy the animation adaptation rights of your book “Forest of Fireflies”, and we are willing to pay 50,000 yuan for the price. It will be animated by my Beiyu studio, I will be the producer, and Fang Zhou will be the animation supervisor, I don’t know what you think.”

50,000 yuan is not a lot for a short comic. After all, the cost of animation adaptation is generally not outrageous. This price can be said to be within Chen Zijun’s expectations, but Chen Zijun wants to know more than the price. their strength.

Chen Zijun said: “Pang Wenhua’s production, I have nothing to be dissatisfied with at this price, but we don’t know much about your production capabilities. There are many shoddy animations on the market. I personally don’t want this to appear in me. on the work.”

“Don’t worry about this.” Pang Wenhua said: “Although our Beiyu studio has just been established, the people in our studio have been in the industry for many years. This is our resume. Supervisor Fang Zhou once worked as a single episode in Fenggu Animation Studio. Supervision, the original painting, this is the finished product we were responsible for, you may wish to take a look.”

It can be seen that they are well prepared. Chen Zijun took a look. The above are all single episodes made by them~www.mtlnovel.com~ There are also some original painting fragments, and the signs are very detailed.

Chen Zijun pondered for a moment, and said, “Supervisor Fang Zhou, can you tell me how you would adapt the animation of “Forest of Fireflies” if you gave it to you?”

Hearing this, Fang Zhou was stunned for a moment, but he turned on the computer he carried with him: “I already have a plan for this, Teacher “Forest of Fireflies”, you have already created the story very well, but the time is still too short, we just If I want to make a short animation of about 30 minutes, I have already drawn even the storyboard, you may as well have a look at it, teacher.”

Chen Zijun took a closer look. They didn’t change the story of the theme too much. They just expanded some details and added some inner monologues, and they were not too bloated.

“However. Director Fang Zhou, don’t you think your storyboards tend to be a little slow? Because it’s a short comic, it’s convenient for me to draw in a short and concise direction.”

Fang Zhou talked about the professional knowledge he was good at, and he couldn’t help but speak a lot more, and he talked eloquently: “I have watched Firefly Forest many times, and I feel that I use a sentence on the Internet very well. This is a summer dream. , it will be broken if you touch it lightly, so I don’t plan to focus on the last tearjerker, but let the flow take its course. It is normal for the rhythm to be slow. After all, manga and animation are different. If we use the teacher’s story, I will It is estimated that it will be over in less than 20 minutes, which is too short.”

Then Chen Zijun asked a lot of questions one by one, and they quickly answered them.

“Zijun, how do you feel?” Su Jing whispered in Chen Zijun’s ear.

“I don’t feel any problem. I can leave it to them.”

Through the conversation, Chen Zijun felt that they didn’t just buy a shoddy studio, otherwise they wouldn’t have prepared such detailed animation storyboards and settings.
