"A very charismatic young man, with a promising future."
Throughout the journey, Guan Feng kept praising Li Zhaoyang, which was quite a pleasant experience.
To achieve such success in one's twenties, it's hard to imagine what kind of honors one would receive in their thirties or early forties.
"Mr. Guan, you've been praising me the whole way." Li Gui was embarrassed. Although Teacher Zhaoyang was very talented, was it really necessary to keep praising him?
Guan Feng even exaggeratedly said, "Alas, I want to adopt Teacher Li Zhaoyang as my godson. Do you have any suggestions?"
Li Guining was speechless: "Are you sure?"
Yang Kai interjected, "I have a plan."
Guan Feng: "Xiao Yang, tell me."
Yang Kai: "Mr. Guan, don't you have a 19-year-old daughter?"
Guan Feng stroked his chin thoughtfully, then said, "My daughter is picky. Teacher Zhaoyang's looks and talent perfectly match her criteria for a partner. I just don't know if Teacher Zhaoyang has a girlfriend. After all, he's been so popular lately. Who knows if someone might be pursuing him? We need to find an opportunity to find out."
Li Gui: "President Guan, leave this to me. I'll find an opportunity to ask about it later."
Guan Feng: "Xiao Li, please take care of this matter."
"good."
"Alright, let's get down to business." Guan Feng returned to the main topic and began to speak seriously: "Our Starlight is now officially expanding into animation and film production. The animation department has been established, and we need to get a good script or find someone to write one within a month."
In recent years, the audience for animation-related films and television programs has become increasingly wider, unlike in the past when the technology was limited and the audience was small.
Especially in the last two years, anime and film/television series have become incredibly popular.
This type of film and television has given most otaku a virtual "wife".
Starlight doesn't want to miss out on this market segment.
Therefore, the most important thing in establishing a new animation and film department is to quickly produce results and deliver performance that can convince senior management.
The higher-ups don't have a high opinion of animation and film, and are only giving this department a year to prove itself.
The main issue isn't a lack of confidence in the audience; the audience is there for all to see.
The key issues are technology and script.
The production difficulty of animation is even greater than that of live-action filmmaking.
The script also needs to be top-notch, even more important than the script for a live-action film.
If the script for a live-action movie isn't good, at least the cast can still attract viewers.
If the plot of an anime is bad, the audience won't buy it.
Li Gui nodded: "I'm already taking charge personally."
Guan Feng instructed: "If the script is completed, the music order should be given directly to Wanxia. If they can't handle it, then it should be given to other partner companies."
"Understand."
...
The next day at noon.
In a studio apartment.
Hua Nongying was completely bewildered when she learned that Li Zhaoyang's movie had been re-released and that the Raven Group was even helping with its promotion.
ah?
What's going on here?
Didn't they want to mess with Li Zhaoyang yesterday? Why are they acting like they've made up today?
Does that mean her plan yesterday failed?
Originally, seeing these groups getting involved, Hua Nongying was afraid of being implicated and wanted to avoid them for a while. That's why she was planning to invite Li Zhaoyang out for a walk the day after tomorrow.
And then the problem was solved?
That's not all.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Hua Nongying saw Bian Ling'er's "The Wind Rises" break into the top ten on various music charts.
The company even plans to invest heavily in making Ling'er the most popular female singer in the Chinese music scene in the United States.
Hua Nongying grew increasingly jealous.
A few months ago, Bian Ling'er was still an unknown singer, and even with her father, who was in charge of her management, it was difficult for her to rise to fame.
Why did it become so popular all of a sudden?
How much money must they make!
"That bitch must have slept with Li Zhaoyang behind his back, but she's pretending to be so innocent on the surface."
Hua Nongying believed there must be some kind of deal involved, otherwise why would Li Zhaoyang give Bian Ling'er so many song resources?
Just because her father is the manager?
How could that be?
That bitch is disgusting.
Hua Nongying was jealous for a moment, then realized she should think of other ways.
...
Another day has passed.
When Li Zhaoyang went to work, he heard from his supervisor, Zhang Xincheng, that the singers transferred by the company had arrived at the branch office today, and the signing department had already started tidying up the office.
Li Zhaoyang didn't pay much attention to this; he was thinking about the new movie.
He's been thinking about how to make "Your Name" these past few days.
Should we hire a group of professional animators?
And which type?
Is it 3D or 2D?
Making 3D animation is the cheapest option, but the resulting 3D animation will look very unnatural unless you have top-notch technology.
In 2D, there's no need to worry about unnatural or uncoordinated movements, because that's not a problem at all. However, there is one drawback: higher production costs.
This isn't like live-action filming, where having actors is enough.
The system rewarded him with his most professional skills related to "Your Name," but he knew he couldn't handle it all by himself and would need a team to work with him.
A film that is nearly two hours long, from character design to set design, could be completed by Li Zhaoyang alone if he had the technology, but it would take years.
"I'll mention it to the director once she's finished with the contract department's business."
As for music, Li Zhaoyang doesn't need to worry.
He makes his own films and also handles the music himself.
They don't let anyone else make a single penny; their main selling point is cost-effectiveness.
With a plan in mind, Li Zhaoyang turned on his computer and began to write out the script.
The format of animated film scripts is different from that of live-action film scripts.
He changed his writing style.
I didn't write out the complete story, but I did write out the general outline and what kind of subject matter it was.
Then open the system panel to check your reputation balance.
Name: Li Zhaoyang
Age: 22

"I'm about 20,000 reputation points short, that should be enough."
Li Zhaoyang waited in his office for a long time before making his move once his reputation had accumulated to 3.6 million.
"Custom-made four tracks that capture the soul and essence of 'Your Name.'"
