The diva and I cross each other

Chapter 295: Open up a new future for China Animation
"Rong Mu, when will Wen Wan's show be finished?" Lin Shuwen asked, changing the subject.

"This Saturday's Wen Wan program should be the last one. It's a good time. I'm just in time to participate in the recording of the fourth blind audition of "The Voice of China"." Rong Mu replied.

"It shouldn't be a problem for Wen Wan's singing skills to pass the blind audition stage, right?"

"It's definitely possible under normal circumstances, but this show is not normal. I spent money to buy an insurance policy for Wen Wan, and there will definitely be a mentor who will change her."

"Does it cost money to start the blind audition?" Lin Shuwen asked with a surprised look on her face.

"This is what the program team said. If you are strong enough, you will definitely be able to advance. But if you are not strong enough, you can buy peace of mind."

"Well, there are too many shady stories in this show! Luo Ming, why do you think this show can be popular?" Lin Shuwen turned around and asked.

"You can find out by searching on YouTube." Luo Ming said while wiping his mouth.

"Youtube? Is this show very popular abroad?"

"It's very popular, and the ratings are so high that people can't believe it." Before Luo Ming could say anything, Rong Mu said first, "As long as the local people don't adapt to the local environment, I don't think the ratings of this show will be lower than that of "Singer"."

"Boss, can I show this script to my teacher? She is also interested in our project."

Lin Shuwen nodded.

Su Qing had no doubt that it was impossible to come up with an animated movie script in one afternoon.

"Just a little bit?"

"on Monday."

"Well, take a look at your quick book. I've sent you the script of "The Return of the Great Sage"."

Before leaving get off work in the evening, Luo Ming called Su Qing over.

"Of course, it's a good thing for us that your teacher is willing to join."

Luo Ming nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"The starting singers are me, Qi Suling, Zhang Songzhi, and Shen Qing. After the breakout competition last week, Li Wei, Yin Jun, and Jia Jingyun advanced."

Chen Junmiao, Sister Shan's half-disciple, is at the helm of the entertainment company. Lin Shuwen can do whatever she wants, as long as Chen Junmiao controls the overall direction.

"So fast!"

"That's really unlucky. By the way, when will Gao Lan's teammate come over?"

"By the way, speaking of "Singer", who will be in Wenwen's final singing competition?" Luo Ming asked, changing the subject.

"Sister Lan is fourth."

"The script has been prepared a long time ago. I took the time in the afternoon to check for typos and so on." Luo Ming lied casually.

Luo Ming also knew something about Zhou Lu. For China's animation and film market, Zhou Lu was really a boss-level existence.

After lunch, Luo Ming returned to the office and started writing the script for "The Return of the Great Sage".

"Did Gao Lan not advance?"

Lin Shuwen went to Zhuoguang Entertainment and said she wanted to help Wen Wan prepare the song she would sing during the blind audition of "The Voice of China".

"Boss, are you looking for me?"

Several of China's more famous animated films are inseparable from Zhou Lu's help in character design.

Zhou Lu is a great pioneer for the Chinese film market.

These animated movies can be said to be the childhood of the post-90s generation, and even many post-00s generations grew up watching the cartoon characters she drew.

The reason why a classic is a classic is that it lasts forever and can influence several generations.

No matter how many years pass, as long as it is released for people to see, it will be enjoyable to watch.

After returning home in the evening, Su Qing read the script of "The Return of the Great Sage" overnight.

After reading it, Su Qing felt that Luo Ming's script was not very good. It just told a complete story, and she was a little unsure.

"Forget it! Send it to the teacher to see!"

Su Qing only received a reply from her teacher the next day, and Zhou Lu said she would chat with her after reading the script.

After Su Qing came to the company, she went directly to Luo Ming's office.

"Mr. Luo, I've finished reading the script of "The Return of the Great Sage"."

"how do you feel?"

"It's a bit ordinary, it just tells a complete story."

Luo Ming smiled slightly when he heard this and said: "Isn't this enough? Is it possible that you also want to provide value to the audience? Don't forget that this is just an animated film. At this stage, the Chinese animated film market cannot accept animated films that are too flashy. , simple is the best.”

After listening to Luo Ming's words, Su Qing suddenly realized that no wonder the plot of this movie is so simple. It turned out that Luo always wrote the script with this idea in mind.

It seems that it is not wrong to think so. "Su Qing, there is no need to discuss the issue of the script. I think this script is quite good. The key lies in the production of the animation. For example, the villain "Chaos" in the movie, who do you think is better to dub?"

Luo Ming mentioned this specifically because the voice of "Chaos" in his previous life was Mr. Tong Zirong.

It is no exaggeration to say that Mr. Tong Zirong's voice role has been throughout Luo Ming's childhood. He is Sheriff Woody in "Toy Story", Lei Lingyun in "Go Boy", and Ao Jue in "Wind and Cloud". .
His dubbing of "Chaos" was immediately praised. Although he didn't have many lines, he was dubbed by many netizens and industry insiders in eight words: "feminine, aloof, gorgeous and evil."

Luo Ming immediately told Su Qing these eight words and asked her to find a dubbing voice for "Chaos" according to this request.

Su Qing naturally tried her best to meet the boss's requirements.

In the afternoon, Zhou Lu called Su Qing.

"Xiao Su, I've finished reading the script of this animated movie." Zhou Lu said straight to the point.

Su Qing heard this and asked quickly: "What do you think of the script of this animated movie?"

"I think it's good!"

"Teacher, don't you think the plot of "The Return of the Great Sage" is a bit too simple?" Su Qing asked tentatively.

Zhou Lu did not answer Su Qing's question directly, but changed the topic and asked: "Xiao Su! What do you want to make this animated movie look like?"

"What should we make? It should be suitable for all ages! After all, if we want to make a breakthrough at the box office, it's definitely not enough to just count on children."

"Then there is nothing wrong with the script of this movie. If it is shot according to the script, it will be a movie suitable for all ages."

"But teacher, if it's for an adult audience, shouldn't it add some depth?"

"You are wrong. For many adult viewers, they will choose animated movies just to have fun watching them. As long as the production is excellent and the fighting is exciting, that's fine. As for the plot being thin, it doesn't matter. It can be logically self-consistent and complete. Telling a story is enough.

Moreover, the mainstream group of our animated films is still young audiences. For this audience, too profound content is not conducive to their understanding of the plot. "

Luo Ming's idea coincided with what Zhou Lu said, so when preparing the script for "The Return of the Great Sage", Luo Ming did not make any major changes, but just filled in some details to make the whole story more rounded. Can achieve logical self-consistency.

The overall plot is not particularly complicated.

Zhou Lu agreed with Luo Ming's idea. When she followed her teachers and elders to produce the 52-episode cartoon "Journey to the West" and the subsequent animated film "Three Strikes of Bone Demons", she wanted to make the cartoon An art suitable for all ages.

Zhou Lu felt that "The Return of the Great Sage" was just right, whether it was the character's growth arc or the completeness of the entire story.

The only thing I have some doubts about is the setting of the little monk Jiang Liuer. Zhou Lu is not disgusted with this character. She even thinks the setting of the little monk is quite cute.

Zhou Lu felt bad about letting this little monk become the core driving force for the great sage to break through the shackles of the soul.

But these are all innocuous little details that can be discussed later.

In short, she is still very satisfied with this script, and is willing to join the cast of "The Return of the Great Sage". While she can still draw, she wants to break the upper limit of Chinese animated films that have been locked for a long time, and give Chinese animated films Create a new future.

Zhou Lu then chatted with Su Qing for a while, telling her that she was willing to join the production of the "Return of the Great Sage" animated film, and explained her reasons.

Su Qing was so excited when she heard that her teacher was willing to join. After she put down the phone, she immediately ran to Luo Ming's office.

"Mr. Luo! It's done!"

"What happened?" Luo Ming asked, stunned.

"After my teacher read the script, she briefly discussed it with me. She is very optimistic about your script and is willing to join our project."

Luo Ming smiled when he heard this: "Did Teacher Zhou tell you why you are willing to join?"

"The teacher said you gave me too much, and she also wanted to earn some pension."

"That's no problem. Teacher Zhou's treatment should be of the highest standard."

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Luo on behalf of the teacher. By the way, Mr. Luo, my teacher asked me to tell you something. She really likes a line in your script collection: The Monkey King will never die."

Luo Ming smiled and nodded. With these words, he knew why Zhou Lu agreed to join.

With Zhou Lu's status in the industry, she is not short of money at all. She will come because she most likely values ​​the significance of "The Return of the Great Sage" to the Chinese animation industry. At the same time, she is also afraid that Luo Ming will lose all his money and lose one person. Businessmen who are willing to invest in animation.

The current box office record of domestic animation movies has not exceeded 2 million.

Luo Ming dared to invest more than 100 million, the risk was too great!
It is precisely because of the high risk that Zhou Lu came.

Although Zhou Lu has not done animation for many years, her works have accompanied countless people through their childhood.

Zhou Lu chose to join in order to give Luo Ming reassurance and allow him to invest with confidence.

Even if Zhou Lu is here, even if he loses money, he will not lose everything. Not to mention anything else, as long as he mentions the image design of "The Return of the Great Sage" and is responsible for the 52 episodes of "Journey to the West" animation and "Three Strikes of Bone Demons" when promoting the movie. It's the same person who can bring in at least million in box office.

Just like many people on earth once shouted "I owe Mr. Xing a movie ticket", the animations produced by Zhou Lu have accompanied countless people as they grow up, and can have a similar effect.

In addition, animation masters like Zhou Lu are willing to help and can be of great help technically.

As the saying goes: An old man in a family is like a treasure.

Zhou Lu is such a treasure. At the same time, Zhou Lu also believes that China's animation industry, just like the Monkey King, will never die!
