Chapter 1098 I Am the Shadow

Chapter 1098 I am the shadow

Lin Yuan chose the robot WALL-E. The movie with the robot WALL-E as the protagonist is called "Robot Story".

Why choose this one?

The ubiquitous sci-fi elements in the first reason movies!

This year, Weizhou joined the merger, and the science fiction novels that had a great market in Weizhou began to attract the attention of all continents.

Coupled with Lin Yuan's own help.

Science fiction has become one of the most popular buzzwords at the moment.

Making sci-fi movies at this time is considered to be in line with the current trend.

And compared to this.

The second reason is more critical:

Because the public reputation of this movie is very explosive!

It is the first time for Shadow to make an animated film, and first of all, he must fight a beautiful word-of-mouth battle!

Once my word-of-mouth has improved, the road ahead will be easier.

In terms of word-of-mouth, which animation movie on earth has a word-of-mouth reputation, and how many of them are better than "Robot Story"?

This is a masterpiece rated by 1,150,130 people on Douban, and finally scored 9.3 points!

Although some users of Douban are sometimes quite annoying, but overall it is still of great reference value, not to mention that this animated film has also won Oscars, Golden Globes, Annie Awards and Saturn Awards. International awards.

Science fiction + word of mouth!

This combination of punches will be Shadow's first shot into the animation film industry.

Of course word of mouth is not enough.

The box office of this movie is also very good.

I just don't know how much box office Wall-E can get in Blue Star.

After all, the box office performance of Earth's movies can only be used as a reference for Blue Star. There are too many factors that affect the box office performance. It is not too strange to be higher or lower than Earth's.

Leave that alone.

Now that the goal is set, it must be done well.

Lin Yuan officially started writing the script.

With the explosive hand speed, the script was basically completed without delaying Lin Yuan's time.

It was noon that day.

Lin Yuan handed the script to Jin Mu:

"Let's make a project."

"Is the script finished?"

"Um."

"How do you do everything so fast?"

"Wasting time is wasting life."

"But we haven't hired a director yet!"

After the acquisition of this animation film company, although Kaneki managed to keep the technical staff, all the directors left!

Who knew Lin Yuan was so fast?

He had just recruited a group of new department leaders, and before he even had time to find a new director, he wrote the script and urged himself to start the project quickly.

Lin Yuan: "How long will it take to find a director?"

Kaneki: "If we only want to find an animation director with average ability, it may take a few days, but for the first time we make an animation film, we must find a first-rate animation director, but most of the first-rate animation film directors are in the hands of In the hands of the five major animation film companies, we need time to find, how about you wait for me for a month?"

Lin Yuan: "If you can't wait that long, just find an ordinary director."

Kaneki's expression became serious: "I strongly don't recommend the boss to do this. The ability of ordinary directors is very limited, and animated films are a test of the director's ability. Do we need to be in such a hurry?"

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said:

"It's okay, just don't let him be the chief director. If the ability is not as good as a first-class director, it will be no problem for the other party to be an assistant director."

"Then who will be the chief director?"

"What do you think about me?"

Lin Yuan made a proposal that stunned Jin Mu.

...

It took Jin Mu a long time to recover, and said quietly: "It's more reliable for me to find an ordinary director outside, at least I can guarantee that the other party is a professional."

"I want to try."

Lin Yuan just came up with such an idea, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he could do it!

To know.

Lin Yuan has taught himself many majors with the help of energy potions, most of which are related to the career direction of the three vests. Among them, there is a lot of theoretical knowledge of animation directors. I don’t know how many books I have read for this on weekdays.

"I object."

Jin Mu would not easily question Lin Yuan's ability, but when the other party proposed to be an animation director, he still decisively chose to shake his head.

What are you kidding?

Are you coming to be an animation director?

Why don't you say you want to participate in the Blue Games?

Is this the same thing as drawing comics, writing novels and making music?

"That's the decision!"

Lin Yuan insisted: "I understand better than any director how to shoot this movie, and what kind of picture this movie needs. I have already simulated it in my mind. For me, there is no such thing as making animated movies and drawing comics. essential difference."

Drawing manga is copying homework.

Animated films are also homework.

The only difference is that an animated film needs to be supported by technical theory, and laymen cannot direct experts. However, Lin Yuan is not worried about this.

Because his theory of knowledge is very rich.

As for the actual operation, such as the indispensable character modeling in animated films, there will naturally be employees to complete it, and these people only need to do what Lin Yuan said.

It's just that Lin Yuan has no way to explain these things to Jin Mu, so he can only forcefully make a decision.

"We can try."

Jin Mu knew that he couldn't change what Lin Yuan decided, so he could only soften his attitude: "If you can't do it, don't force it, professional things should be left to professional people."

Just try it.

Lin Yuan will retreat in spite of difficulties.

Kaneki thought optimistically.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Don't forget that it's not my first time making a movie."

Kaneki Fue: "Of course I know that you are the core screenwriter of a live-action movie, and it is no problem to be the director of a live-action movie, but what we are going to shoot is an animated movie, and there are no actors, so it is completely different from a live-action movie. "

Sighed.

Jin Mu took the script and said: "Anyway, let's do this first, I have to go to a meeting with the heads of various departments to determine the investment budget first."

Lin Yuan opened his mouth and said, "One billion."

Jin Mu trembled when he heard the words, and almost choked on his own saliva: "No matter how rich you are, this is not the way to play, after all, this is the first time we are making an animated film, it is better to be more stable, I think three to five billion is the sky, After all, it’s a test of the waters, a billion-dollar production, generally only the top five animation film companies dare to do it!”

Lin Yuan shook his head: "The effect needs technical support, and technology needs a lot of money!"

When choosing this movie, Lin Yuan already knew how much money he would need to make the effect he wanted.

crazy!

Jin Mu feels that Lin Yuan has gone a little crazy in order to let the shadow catch up with Chu Kuang and Xian Yu, which is a symptom of madness:

"I'll go to a meeting first!"

Jin Mu was afraid that his heart would not be able to bear it if he stayed any longer.

Lin Yuan nodded in agreement: "Remember to find me an assistant director as an assistant."

The chief director is in charge of the general direction, and Lin Yuan needs a professional assistant director to be his tool.

...

afternoon.

Chasing DreamWorks.

Jin Mu took the heads of various departments to a meeting.

Just two minutes after the meeting started, heated discussions erupted in the room!

"Are you kidding me?"

"Shadow as the chief director?"

"Does he understand film animation technology?"

"Has he had the slightest experience?"

"It's too messy!"

"This is not something that can be fooled around."

"Drawing manga and directing an animated film are not the same thing at all!"

"Even if he is the god of comics, we all admit this, but isn't it enough for the god of comics to be a screenwriter?"

"I disagree!"

Almost all department heads are against it.

Many of these people were recruited by Kaneki from other animation film companies after spending a lot of money recently, and they have some expectations for this DreamWorks.

However.

Before the project of the first animated film was approved, they heard the news that Shadow was going to be the chief director, and they were all numb.

Some people even suspect:

If Shadow is really allowed to be the chief director, I am afraid that the day this work is released will be the day the company goes bankrupt.

Should I start looking for a home in advance?

In someone's mind, this idea couldn't help popping up.

Jinmu is covered with black lines.

In fact, he didn't believe that Lin Yuan could be an animation director, but he couldn't beat his own boss either.

but.

Sensing the distrust of the leaders, Kaneki suddenly became angry!

He glanced around:

"Do you know how Shadow single-handedly overthrew the entire tribal manga by himself?"

"Do you know how many people's doubts and difficulties Shadow has overcome before becoming the recognized god of manga in every continent?"

"Do you know what a genius is?"

"These geniuses are different from ordinary people. You can't guess the upper limit of a genius' ability from the perspective of ordinary people."

"At the Blue Concert, who would have thought that Xianyu could beat Abigail?"

"Some time ago, who would have thought that Chu Kuang would win the Galaxy Award?"

"And as a genius who is as famous as Chu Kuangxianyu, Yingying certainly has some abilities that we haven't seen yet!"

The more Jin Mu talked, the more excited he became.

In the end he believed it himself.

Shadow can be the animation director!

There is no particular reason, just because he is Lin Yuan!

Whatever Lin Yuan wanted to do, there was nothing he couldn't do!

for a while.

The heads of various departments were a little silent.

In fact, Jin Mu’s words can’t be strung together into a very convincing thinking logic. He based everything on the fact that Shadow is a genius, but everyone was a little shaken, and even began to think:

Maybe he really can do it?

Of course, what made the final decision was actually Kaneki's next words: "Don't forget, the shadow is our boss."

This DreamWorks belongs to Shadow!

Shadow can do whatever he likes!

Dissatisfied?

Then resign!

This sentence is too provocative, of course it is impossible for Kaneki to say it out loud.

When everyone looked serious, Jin Mu suddenly smiled and said: "The boss means that he wants to try, and it's up to you whether you can make him quit. If he really can't do it, I will give it a try." Talk him out of the idea."

Jin Mu successfully calmed everyone's emotions.

The people in charge at the scene got up one after another: "We are going to prepare for the establishment of the project."

Don't waste your time talking.

They want to make the shadow retreat!

...

Of course, Lin Yuan didn't know about the swords and swords in the meeting in the afternoon.

After chatting with Jin Mu, Lin Yuan began to make his own preparations.

And when the time came the next day.

The heads of various departments suddenly contacted Jin Mu together: "We need to see Teacher Ying, and there are many things that need to be decided by the chief director."

Kaneki was helpless.

New problems arise.

Since Lin Yuan wants to be the chief director, he can't keep his face away, but once Lin Yuan shows up, everyone will know immediately that the so-called shadow is Xianyu!

After all, the face of Xianyu is recognized by almost the whole world.

After securing these people, Jin Mu contacted Lin Yuan as soon as possible: "Why don't we just forget about it, as the chief director, Ying Ying needs to contact people, as long as you contact people, Ying Ying's identity will be exposed immediately, but they are very special now. I can't see you."

"I've anticipated this problem."

Lin Yuan didn't panic at all: "Just arrange for them to come and see me."

Jin Mu frowned: "See you directly?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Do you remember King Lanling?"

King Lanling?

Jin Mu was stunned.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly came back to his senses: "You want to wear a mask to communicate with them?"

Lin Yuan said: "This is the only way."

Jin Mu smiled wryly: "Although the painting style is a bit strange, it seems to be okay, but your voice seems to be a flaw, after all, Xianyu's voice may be recognized by others, who made you so famous."

Lin Yuan said, "I can change it."

Thinking of Lin Yuan's indistinguishable voice, Jin Mu let go of the last bit of worry: "Then you should prepare first, Shadow's first offline meeting."

"Um."

five minutes later.

Lin Yuan entered the company wearing a black mask.

This black mask was designed by Lin Yuan. It perfectly covers the cheeks and looks very cool. The only problem is that wearing a mask to communicate with people in reality feels inexplicably inconsistent.

But as Lin Yuan said:

This is the only solution.

the other side.

Jin Mu has brought people to the door of the company.

The heads of various departments have expressions full of curiosity.

Despite his reputation, Shadow has never been seen in public.

And next, they will see the true face of Lushan Mountain in the shadow.

It would be a lie to say that I am not curious.

After all, Shadow is a legend in the comic circle!

Even people in the animation circle are familiar with his name!

"boss."

Kaneki knocked on the door nervously.

There was a voice from inside that made Kaneki a little strange:

"come in."

Jin Mu paused slightly.

This voice can be heard to be a man, but the exact age cannot be discerned. In short, it is very magnetic, with a trace of indescribable laziness and casualness.

Get along with these years.

Jin Mu had never been in Lin Yuan's place before, and he had heard similar voices before. He even wondered if it was Lin Yuan sitting inside?

Click.

The door was pushed open.

In front of the table in the room is a casually dressed figure, who is lazily sitting on a chair, playing with a pen in his hand, leaning back, with a dark black mask on his face.

Depend on!

The corner of Jin Mu's mouth twitched. Seeing this masked face, he still couldn't confirm whether the person in front of him was Lin Yuan.

The other party seems to have changed his temperament.

That lazy and casual feeling and temperament are completely different from Lin Yuan in Jin Mu's impression, as if the fictional "shadow" really ran into reality!

anyway.

If the shadow has a real image, it must be the image in front of him, Kaneki inexplicably had such an idea.

And behind Jin Mu.

The heads of various departments, who were curious about the shadow, were all stunned when they saw this masked figure.

What is this?

wear a mask?

Performance Art?

Someone tentatively asked, "Teacher Shadow?"

Shadow sat up straight, raised his head slightly, and twirled the pen frantically between his fingers:

"Good morning everyone, I am Shadow."

The entire office fell into an eerie silence.

In this eerie silence, under Lin Yuan's seemingly indifferent mask, the corners of Lin Yuan's eyebrows suddenly began to twitch wildly.

Is this social death?

It's a bit of a shame indeed.

When I participated in King of Masked Singer, I didn't think there was any problem with wearing a mask. Could it be that my acting skills are too exaggerated?

It shouldn't be.

At this moment, I have entered the role of the shadow with all my heart and soul, and even my character and habits are strictly in accordance with the method of acting.

I am a shadow!

I am a shadow!

I am a shadow!

Lin Yuan kept reminding himself that his hands had crossed naturally without knowing when they got up, as if waiting for everyone to speak.
