Chapter 126
The animated Dragon Warrior continues to be popular.
In subsequent episodes, Xiaodu became a disciple of Master Shibalagu and studied swordsmanship seriously. The twenty-five-year-old birdman "Black Room" who piloted the Sky God appeared on the scene, constantly causing trouble for Xiaodu and others...
Xiaodu also went through a lot of hardships, and finally came to the Sky City, defeated all kinds of powerful enemies, blew the flute of God, and restored the first level of Chuangjie Mountain to its original state.
Just as Xiaodu was heading towards the second realm, a small episode appeared in the animation.
The Flute of Kambe!
In the animation, the soundtrack for Xiaodu playing the Flute of Kambe was actually played by the animation director, Gu Miao himself.
The result was embarrassing!
After the animation aired, this soundtrack became the focus of complaints from countless viewers and netizens. They thought the soundtrack was really harsh and sounded like noise.
Gu Miao couldn't hold back at that time.
He drove the trumpet to argue with netizens that this was not a problem with the performer, but rather that the "recording equipment" at the time was not good, so the flute sounded a bit noisy.
It's all a matter of equipment!
However, his explanation was not recognized. Everyone agreed that this soundtrack seriously lowered the quality of the animation.
"Awkward, right?!"
Gu Miao cursed and stopped playing the trumpet. She logged into her tuba on the spot and said, "I didn't consider this step at the time. No one on the production team knows how to play the flute. Is there any problem if I play the role myself?"
Can you blame him?
He already said that he was tone-deaf, but no one on the production team knew how to play the flute at the time, so they couldn't play the flute anyway, so they just found someone to do it.
Who knew this could be hacked?
In fact, to be honest, the flute sound played by Gu Miao was not that jarring to the ears. It was just that the recording equipment at the time was not good enough and it was a bit noisy.
"Record it again!"
It was a bit hard for Gu Miao to accept being criticized harshly by so many people.
Since everyone doesn’t like it, let’s record a new version and replace the original file. It’s time to change the recording equipment so that the audience can appreciate the beautiful flute played by Gu Miao.
He didn't believe it.
It's true that I'm not very good at singing, but how difficult can it be to play the flute? As long as the equipment is in place and there are millions of tuners, how can I complain about it?
One thing has to be said.
All the animation works released by Wanbao Animation so far, including the opening and ending songs, are actually quite popular.
Especially the theme songs such as "Don't Look I'm Just a Sheep", "Lightning Crossing the Line" and "Pig Man", almost everyone can sing a few lines.
But as for the "Interlude Soundtrack"...
To be honest, Wanbao is not very good!
The theme songs and ending songs can be outsourced, and the quality is relatively guaranteed, but the soundtrack for the interludes is usually done by the animation company itself, and the quality is relatively poor.
This time it was an equipment problem and had nothing to do with Mr. Gu.
But what about next time?
Next time someone complains about the soundtrack, can you continue to blame the equipment?
Gu Miao attaches great importance to this issue.
After the "Flute of Kambe" incident happened, he asked Ma Kui to contact a local animation soundtrack master in Jiangchuan, hoping to invite him to join Wanbao to make up for this shortcoming.
But this master has a very strange temper!
Although he is idle at home and does not have any formal job, he is not a man short of money. He takes care of flowers and plants every day, and goes fishing and playing cards from time to time. He dismisses Wanbao's invitation.
Ma Kui went to visit.
As a result, he didn't even enter the door. After asking the neighbors, he found out that the master probably guessed that Ma Kui was coming to harass him and went directly back to his hometown in the countryside for vacation.
"It's too hard to ask for!"
After Ma Kui returned to the company, he said with a displeased face: "When you call him, it says his phone is turned off. Come and find him. He is deliberately avoiding me again."
This made him a little angry.
Gu Qie
There are quite a few experts in the country when it comes to film and television animation soundtracks. Does this old guy really think of himself as an indispensable big shot?
If it doesn’t work, then find someone else!
Ma Kui thought so. He thought this person was too difficult to hire, so he simply changed the goal and hired a suitable music master.
"Let me give it a try."
Gu Miao still didn't want to give up.
Wanbao really needs to strengthen its soundtrack, and Jiangchuan happens to have such a soundtrack master who is "at home". How could he miss it?
Don't care about money?
Then use your attitude to influence!
As a Jiangchuan native, Gu Miao felt that she could use her status as a "fellow fellow" to communicate with him and give him a good picture.
What cake to draw?
Of course, I invite him to join us in creating the myth of "Jiangchuan Animation" and building a world-class animation company that is the strongest in the industry.
Of course, slogans alone are definitely not enough!
Gu Miao is still very sincere, at least willing to give a salary that is considered "high" in the industry, and have the trust to form a professional soundtrack team.
simply put.
As long as the master is willing to join Wanbao, Gu Miao can give him permission to form a professional soundtrack and interlude team according to his needs.
This is a big stage!
Ordinary animation companies, such as Feiyang Animation, would never be able to spend so much money on soundtracks and interludes.
And Wanbao is willing to pay this money...
I have to say that this is a very tempting proposal. When Gu Miao repeatedly stated that Wanbao wanted to become a "world-class" animation company, the master surnamed Cao was moved.
"You really think so?"
"Absolutely true!"
Gu Miao nodded and said: "Although Wanbao is already a top-notch animation company in the country, our country's animation industry is really too weak."
If you want to do it, be world-class!
There is no future if you can only dominate the country. Since you have chosen to join the animation industry, Gu Miao definitely wants to reach the top of the world.
"Good! Young people are ambitious!"
Master Cao said happily: "Since you don't want to mess up, want to go abroad and hit the top of the world, and don't dislike me, an old man, then what reason do I have to refuse?"
Great!
Gu Miao, who finally settled something on her mind, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, since you agreed, let's talk about the specific treatment..."
"No need to talk about it."
Master Cao waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. It's useless to get so much money at my age. Give me a dollar as salary and keep the rest for animation!"
Well?
Gu Miao was stunned at that time.
Frankly speaking, he was ready to hemorrhage a lot of money. After all, Master Cao has a high status in the industry. How could he hire him without paying a high salary?
The result...a dollar salary?
"Don't rush to be happy yet!"
Master Cao took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "If you disappoint me, I will run away at any time!"
Oh my god, isn't this great?
For the first time, he felt the noble sentiments of the older generation of animators. Gu Miao had to admit that he was indeed moved.
Originally I was just drawing a pie randomly.
But when he said this, Gu Miao suddenly felt that even if she tried her best, she still had to make the cake.
Chapter completed!
