Chapter 147 Final Draft
Zhang Songnian's idea is that if the time is right, it would be best to have Li Xingruo release an album at about the same time as Xia Yunzhi.
Although Xia Yunzhi is a first-line singer and is very popular, Zhang Songnian is not panic at all.
As a singer, in the end, your work will speak for itself.
Even a diva cannot make every song or album a hit.
But Li Xingruo is different, who can let himself cheat.
Zhang Songnian can pat his chest and say, "I guarantee that Li Xingruo's next album will definitely be a hit. He is so confident."
In terms of talent, Li Xingruo is no worse than Xia Yunzhi.
In terms of his works, Zhang Songnian is not sure of success, but he relies on so many classic songs in his mind.
If the songs he puts out cannot beat a first-line singer, then he will be ashamed of his status as a time traveler.
Of course, just in case, Zhang Songnian decided to be more cautious and choose a few classic works to make sure nothing went wrong.
The production of the new album cannot be done right away, everything must be done slowly.
After separating from Li Xingruo, Zhang Songnian returned to the animation office area as usual.
But as soon as he stepped into the office, a colleague came up to him, pulled Zhang Songnian, and said excitedly: "Mr. Zhang, it's done!"
Zhang Songnian looked at the latter confused and asked in confusion: "What happened?"
"That's it, Mr. Zhang, that animation effect you mentioned before." The colleague said anxiously.
Zhang Songnian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then came to his senses and asked, "Go and have a look."
Zhang Songnian originally thought that the animation department's "Little Master of China" project could be completed quickly, but as a result, the progress was delayed again and again.
The main problem is that the animation style has never achieved the effect that Zhang Songnian is most satisfied with.
This was the third time that Zhang Songnian had returned the manuscript.
Zhang Songnian has previously proven his ability through the final results of two animations.
So even if everyone retains a certain degree of skepticism towards this anime, they still have to implement Zhang Songnian’s ideas.
Since Zhang Songnian said that the effect could be better, it only means that there is still room for optimization in this animation.
Zhang Songnian believes that the reason for dissatisfaction with the manuscript is also very simple, that is, the visual quality that he has always emphasized before still does not meet his needs.
Maybe it’s because there are no food animations in this world, so everyone in the animation department can’t find a suitable reference direction.
Therefore, the animation style produced is a bit more realistic, without the exaggeration that Zhang Songnian had in "The Little Master of China".
Half an hour later, Zhang Songnian finished watching the revised first episode and nodded with satisfaction. This is the style the original version should have.
The metaphorical image of the glowing egg fried rice, which makes people feel like they are flying into the sky when eaten, perfectly fits the impression in my mind of the anime "The Little Master of China".
Even because of the times, the visual effects produced by Jin Yu are obviously much better than those of the original version.
Regarding the plot, Zhang Songnian also made some minor adjustments and changes, but overall the plot remains unchanged.
….
Because the original plot was produced by Xiao Ni, many parts were guessed by the author himself who has never been to China.
In fact, there are many things that are inconsistent with the national conditions or illogical. Zhang Songnian also made some slight changes in these plot details in order to be more in line with the aesthetics of the audience of this era and the closed loop of the plot logic.
"Mr. Zhang's idea is really brilliant. I have to say that the animation produced by this method is indeed very interesting."
"This is the first time I've discovered that the direction of a food anime is so exciting. Not to mention the audience, I want to know the next plot."
"Although the anime looks ridiculous, what it says in it seems to make sense. After reading it, I even doubt that there is really any truth in this world.
The glowing egg fried rice is outrageous."
After watching the first episode, everyone gathered in the conference room, discussing and expressing their emotions.
Although everyone didn't say anything before, they are interested in the food-oriented anime that Zhang Songnian mentioned at the beginning.
Everyone feels to some extent that there is no future direction.
What can be done about cooking anime?
As a result, when "The Little Master of China" was finally finalized, everyone was surprised to find that this thing seemed to be really interesting.
And it’s huge!
Zhang Songnian tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, then nodded and said, "Okay, the rest of the plot can be based on this style. We have to hurry up on the progress. The release date of this project has been delayed a bit."
The person in charge of this project quickly stood up and said: "Mr. Zhang, don't worry. The main problem before was that the painting style was not determined. Now that this problem is solved, the progress can be accelerated a lot."
Zhang Songnian nodded with a smile on his face. Jin Yu's corporate culture is to do what he says and do. Since the person in charge of the project dares to promise with confidence, it must be a sure thing.
This means that he will hardly have to worry about the progress of this project in the future. Zhang Songnian sighed.
As long as the people under you are capable, it will be more convenient to fish by yourself.
As long as these three current projects are done well, the animation department will not have to worry about it for a long time and can bring enough revenue to the company.
At least there will definitely be no problem in meeting the department's KPI standards this year.
After settling the matters within the department, Zhang Songnian will think carefully about how to choose songs for Li Xingruo's new album.
But having too many choices in my mind is also a worry. Zhang Songnian thought about it for a whole day and still couldn't decide on a song.
Finally, after thinking about it, Zhang Songnian decided that it might be better to make a decision by understanding Li Xingruo's thoughts first.
On the way home together in the evening, Zhang Songnian asked Li Xingruo: "Among the songs I wrote for you, which one is your favorite?"
Li Xingruo glanced at Zhang Songnian in confusion. Although he didn't know why Zhang Songnian asked such a question, Li Xingruo still held his chin and replied: "Actually, I like every song you wrote for me. I really want to say My favorite songs should be "When You Get Old" and "Courage"."
Zhang Songnian was a little surprised by Li Xingruo's choice. Zhang Songnian would not be surprised by the song "Courage", but Li Xingruo also chose a slightly less popular song "When You Get Old", which made Zhang Songnian a little curious.
As if he could see Zhang Songnian's inner doubts, Li Xingruo explained: "Although I didn't sing the song "When You Get Old" very well on the stage, every time I sing this song once, it always comes to my mind. I like how it can bring out the picture described in the lyrics, it looks very romantic."
After listening to Li Xingruo's explanation, Zhang Songnian nodded thoughtfully.
Chapter completed!
