Don't let him do animation

Chapter 211 The Mysterious Eastern Youth

The day of the Bali Television Festival.

With the arrival of many celebrities, as well as TV station executives and film and television producers, the TV Festival was officially held.

There were two hosts, a male and a female, who livened up the scene on stage: "hello"

The handsome men and beautiful women on the stage gave eloquent speeches, and when they got excited they would interact with the guests in the audience.

Chen Jize was so fascinated by the talk that he felt sleepy, but in fact he felt overwhelmed. He could only hear the host chattering on and on, which made him lose all interest.

In contrast, the foreigners at the scene were all in high spirits. As many film and television works were shown, people applauded enthusiastically from time to time.

"." This was the most speechless moment for Chen Ji so far.

He didn't even know how he got through this boring time. Just when he was about to lose consciousness and his shoulder tilted to one side, Robert shook him hard to wake him up.

"Hey, Chen, don't sleep any more, it will be our turn soon."

"Ok?"

Chen Ji immediately came to his senses from his dazed state.

I rubbed my eyes and looked forward, and saw someone on the stage talking about animation.

not much time.

The hostess on stage smiled and said, "Next, please welcome the relevant personnel from Leno Animation Company to the stage."

Robert and other Leno members came forward one after another, leaving Chen Ji alone to stand guard.

The empty seats around him made him very unhappy. Without the obstruction of the surrounding sight, he found that many people here were looking at him.

Is it because he’s handsome?
Probably, maybe.

But Chen Ji always felt that those looks were very similar to the ones he saw when he went to the zoo.

"I should have brought someone with me."

At this critical juncture, he should adopt a calm and composed attitude.

Chen Ji took a deep breath, forced down the discomfort brought by the scene, and leaned back on the red chair in a non-casual manner, resting his wrist on the armrest.

This is a sign of confidence!
Someone once said that money is not everything, but it can solve 99% of the problems in life and can also bring peace of mind to people.

There is no shortage of successful people at the scene, but most of them are already in their twilight years. Young people like Chen Ji, especially young people from the East,
It is no exaggeration to say that many people were surprised.

Chen Ji looked forward with a surprisingly calm state of mind, and from time to time he would glance at the female host's long legs.

Soon after the staff of Lino Animation Company came on stage, they began to promote and introduce Kung Fu Panda in front of the camera of the reporter.

“It is no exaggeration to say that our animated film produced by Leno will be a global hit, because it is the first one to draw on the advantages of both the East and the West, and it is also filled with a lot of mysterious elements from the East.”

The top executives of Lino Animation Company boasted about the mystery of the East without shying away from racial ideas.

For a moment, Chen Ji thought that Leno’s people might be underground workers from the East.

On the stage, the remarks made by Leno's senior management caused quite a bit of complaints from the guests.

"Do we still need to learn from the East? Are you kidding me?"

"It's unimaginable. We have the best technology and the best animation practitioners, but we have to cooperate with Dongfang?"

"Leno must have received money from the East."

"I want to see what will come out of the crystallization of the East and the West."

"."

Due to language barriers and limited contact, the prejudices between the two sides have always been very deep.

After hearing Leno's praise for Touhou again, many guests wanted to see what the content of the animated film that Leno praised so highly was like.

After a brief introduction by Leno Animation, the promotional video was immediately played.

【kungfu Panda】

This is an animation that is completely anthropomorphic to small animals, and the protagonist is a silly, cute, lazy and gluttonous giant panda.

The story takes place in the Valley of Peace and revolves around the Dragon Warrior.

It not only features the appearances of five kung fu masters, but also the counterattack of the protagonist, the giant panda Po.

As soon as the trailer was played, the Bali Animation Festival became quiet and everyone put away their contempt.

It is a 3D animated film.

The content looks very novel, both in terms of setting and elements.

Besides, the story seems to be hilarious.

Noodle family?

"God, I bet noodles would be a rare and precious delicacy!"

Behind Chen Ji, there was a sound of surprise.

They couldn't understand how two wooden sticks could be used instead of a knife and fork to eat.

Chen Ji wanted to laugh when he heard this. There must be different opinions on the strength of the East and the West, but when it comes to food,
Oriental food culture is undoubtedly No. 1
After all, a bowl of tofu pudding can conquer Robert's stomach, let alone the eight major cuisines.
Afterwards, a large number of promotional videos with strong martial arts elements began to appear.

After about 15 minutes, all the guests opened their eyes wide, looking as if they were still not satisfied. Some TV station representatives even had shining eyes.

They really couldn't imagine that there would be such an anticipated animated film trailer!
“Is this the animation of East and West combined?”

"No wonder Leno suddenly claimed with great fanfare that the best animation in the world is in the East."

"Humph~ It's just a combination of the advantages of the East and the West. It's an exaggeration to say that the East has the best animation in the world."

"Obviously, Kung Fu Panda is a Western animation. There is no way that there will be a work in the East that can surpass Kung Fu Panda."

"Leno Animation must have stepped in dog shit to get lucky."

The guests in the audience were whispering and talking among themselves.

The image of the East has changed greatly.

Since we have the successful example of Leno Animation,
well.

We also need to look to the East for inspiration.

Since Leno made Kung Fu Panda, we will make Kung Fu Lion and Kung Fu Pirate!
The promotional video also includes a list of production staff.

Screenwriter: Chen Ji.

Instructor: Chen Ji.

Director: Robert.

Special thanks to: Linlang Studio.

For a time, Chen Ji and Linlang Studio became a mysterious existence. Could it be that they were the Oriental animation company that cooperated with Leno?
Time was running out, and as the core person involved in the entire production, Robert was asked by the host about the interesting stories and process of making Kung Fu Panda.

“Excuse me, Mr. Robert.” “Of course.” As for Kung Fu Panda, it all started with my trip to the East, and it’s a long story.”

Robert talks about the beginning of the creation of Kung Fu Panda, the mysterious journey to the East.

When talking about the unfamiliar East, many guests pricked up their ears. This was an opportunity to learn about the East in advance, or to draw reference from Robert's experience.

"At first I just traveled to the East to relax, but later"

Robert's eyes were deep as if he was lost in memories.

At that time, I watched a martial arts performance and giant pandas, and I had the inspiration to combine the two into one, but I couldn't figure it out no matter how much I thought.

By chance, he discovered a unique company.

The animation company, which is hated by everyone but also sought after by countless people, has always claimed that it is creating happiness with heart, but in reality it is doing dirty and filthy things.

Simply put, anyone can question the character of Linlang Studio, raise the middle finger and spit at them, but they must never question their work.

It was during this curiosity that Robert had the opportunity to meet a young man who seemed to be a gentleman, but in fact he was quite dark inside, with severe dual personality, schizophrenia, and antisocial cognition.
Robert thought of every symptom he could think of.

When mentioning this mysterious young man, many guests frowned, as if they were thinking of his previous tweet.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Robert, are you saying that you had the honor of meeting a young man?"

"Yes, he is lucky. He must be a person blessed by God. He has a magical mind and extraordinary imagination. He will be the Van Gogh and Picasso of the animation industry, and also the screenwriter of Kung Fu Panda, Mr. Chen Ji."

It was this young man blessed by God who single-handedly facilitated the founding of Kung Fu Panda!
Robert has always been very optimistic about everything about Chen Ji except his character. If he had to make a metaphor, he thought that if the East lost Chen, it would be like the West losing Jerusalem!

Robert told many interesting anecdotes about Kung Fu Panda.

But many guests were still surprised. Robert himself has a very high reputation in the animation industry, and how amazing is Chen Ji, whom he praised so highly?

Could it be that it looks different from us Westerners and has three eyes?

"The mysterious East, it's a pity that Mr. Chen Ji didn't come to the scene in person, otherwise he would definitely introduce us to more interesting things about the East."

The blonde female host felt a little regretful that she was unable to interview the mysterious young man from the East.

Leno and other senior executives had already basically said everything that needed to be said about Kung Fu Panda, and were now worrying about how to introduce the cool-looking black-haired young man in the audience to everyone.

When the female host mentioned this with a little regret, a senior Leno executive tugged at Robert's clothes, and the latter understood and immediately said: "He was invited and is there."

The photographer on the scene moved the camera equipment following Robert's finger.

A black-haired young man appeared on the screen, sitting on a chair in a paralyzed and comfortable posture.

“???” Chen Ji was stunned.

The guests at the scene were also stunned.

Everything happened too suddenly.

Is that the young man that Robert boasted about so much?
He looks very oriental, with black hair and a kind face, but he always seems a little too dreamy and unrealistic.

According to Robert, the best animation in the world is in the East, the best animation in the East is in Linlang, and this Chen Ji is the big boss behind Linlang.

The beautiful hostess on the stage's eyes lit up, and she quickly spoke in a fluent Western accent with her self-taught broken Chinese: "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry to ruin a little Chinese. May I ask if you are good enough?"

"." Chen Ji.

Robert and others waved again, signaling Chen Ji to go on stage.

At this time, an on-site staff member urgently confirmed and immediately found out that Chen Ji, who was invited by Leno, was also coming with his works and would have a certain amount of time to perform on stage.

Chen Ji had a microphone in his hand: "I can speak Spanish, thank you."

The beautiful host smiled and said, "In that case, please come on stage, Mr. Chen. I was negligent and didn't see that you also came with your work."

Chen Ji took the stage and attracted everyone's attention.

It should be noted that this TV festival is broadcast live. Not only are there guests on site, but there are also many audiences watching the live broadcast.

The Western TV Festival welcomes an oriental face!
Although it is neither fish nor fowl, it is at least plausible. After all, he is from Leno Bao and he is also the founder of Kung Fu Panda.

Leno and other senior executives tactfully stepped down, but Robert chose to stay to avoid embarrassment for Chen Ji, and was a transparent person throughout the process.

The host started asking: "Mr. Chen"

Chen Ji answered questions fluently, expressing the difficulties of participating in the Western Television Festival and his relationship with Lino Animation Company. He repeatedly stated that he came to participate in the Western Television Festival just to present wonderful animations to young people in the West.

“So Mr. Chen’s desire to cross the ocean is just to bring wonderful animation to Westerners?”

Chen Ji knew that this was an opportunity to gain favor with Westerners.

They are all potential customers!
He immediately said righteously: "Of course, because creating happiness with heart! It has always been the philosophy of our Linlang Studio!"

"hiss"

There was a sound of someone sucking in air.

Even the audience who were watching the live broadcast were shocked by Chen Ji's remarks.

Regardless of whether what he said was true or false, Chen Ji won the favor of a wave of young Westerners.

attitude decides everything.

The male host on the side asked a tricky question: "Mr. Chen Ji, what are your expectations for the Western market or profits?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere inside and outside the TV festival suddenly changed.

Even the male host realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly thought of ways to remedy the situation, because no matter what Chen Ji said next, no matter how well he said it, his real purpose was to make money.

All this talk of creating happiness with all your heart is a lie.

Among the audience watching the live broadcast, someone shouted to lead the rhythm: "Damn, the evil Orientals are here to cheat us in the West!"

The goodwill just won seems to be collapsing in an instant, which may affect the impact of Linlang Animation in the West.

Chen Ji glanced at the male host and saw that he was not targeting him intentionally, so he did not take it to heart and his face was very calm.

"Linlang Animation never makes animations for the purpose of profit, and it is impossible to make good animations with the purpose of profit!"

He paints a light picture of his vision for animation.

Making animation is not for profit. In fact, Linlang’s profit-making method is not animation itself, but relying on IP peripherals to make money.

When these words were spoken, they won the respect of many people, and the realm was completely different.

These artists only think about how to make money from their works, and then use the money to create new works. However, those on the other side of the ocean, thousands of miles away, do not create for the purpose of profit.

Is it just a lie?
Maybe, maybe not.

But at least they said it, if they don’t make a profit, where will they get the money to continue creating?
For a moment, Chen Ji was filled with the mystery of oriental charm, making it impossible to see clearly.

Chen Ji didn't want to waste any more words here, so he got down to business: "Okay, having said so much, can you let me give you a brief introduction and promotion of Linlang's work? After all, I came all the way here just to be able to broadcast it smoothly on Western TV stations."

"of course."

Soon, the animation brought by the young man from the East was finally unveiled on the screen.
