How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 251 Mr. Liu is going to show his skills

Director Yu was also slightly stunned when he heard Jiang Yu's words.

Any other anime scripts?
This surprised Director Yu. He had originally thought that when Jiang Yu mentioned that CEO Yang from Penguin wanted to discuss a new project with him, specifically an animation project, he was looking for an animation adaptation of his popular IP, The Lost Tomb.

But no one expected that Jiang Yu and Mr. Yang would carry out the animation project, but Jiang Yu actually had to prepare a brand new script for filming.

This surprised even Director Yu. He had always thought Jiang Yu was quite impressive for being able to write novels, scripts, and songs. But who would have thought he could now write anime too?

Director Yu felt that Jiang Yu must have spent a long time conceiving the novel "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" before writing it. However, Jiang Yu revealed that he was just taking time out these past few days to write a few episodes of the script and send them to Mr. Yang.

Writing a brand new anime script in just a few days, although not all of it, just a few episodes, is a bit astonishing, as is the workload and the difficulty of the creation.

Director Yu looked at Jiang Yu as if he were a monster. He was silent for a long time before he spoke with emotion.

"You're really a freak, kid. Not only can you write songs, but now you can write novels and scripts, and you can act. I don't know what else you can't do."

Since meeting Jiang Yu, Director Yu has been astonished by him time and time again. Every time, Jiang Yu was able to surprise him, and the key point was that every surprise and what he brought was always so unexpected.

It's normal for a singer to be able to compose and write songs, and they all understood that. But Director Yu was astonished that he could act, and his subsequent novels and screenplays were more astonishing each time.

When Jiang Yu heard Director Yu's words, he smiled slightly and said, "Hey, I only know a little bit."

Director Yu rolled his eyes at the guy. This kid really isn't humble at all.

……

At this moment, Mr. Yang put down his phone with relief after seeing Jiang Yu's reply.

"Since Xiao Jiang said so, he must be confident."

Having known Jiang Yu for so long, Mr. Yang had a good understanding of his personality. Basically, if Jiang Yu said something, he would probably be able to accomplish it. Now that Jiang Yu had said it, he could just write a few episodes for him in the next few days, which meant it would basically be accomplished.

Thinking back to Xiao Jiang's talent and his viral hit novel "Grave Robbers' Chronicles," Mr. Yang felt that writing a new anime script shouldn't be a problem. After all, if he could write a novel, he'd have no problem crafting a good story.

The main question now was the quality of Jiang Yu's new anime script. Mr. Yang didn't doubt Jiang Yu's ability to write a script, but he felt it was a bit difficult to produce a decent script in such a short time. If Jiang Yu had been given more time, it might have been possible, but the timeline was too short, and he admitted he wasn't in a rush. However, Xiao Jiang's promise to give it to him within the week did worry Mr. Yang. Could Jiang Yu, driven by the tight deadline, have neglected the quality of the anime script?
……

In the office of Mr. Liu from Jiang Yu’s former agency, Fengtian Entertainment.

After losing Jiang Yu, a cash cow and a pillar of the company, Mr. Liu felt that the company's development was not going well and the economic benefits were not as good as before. Although they immediately promoted other artists in the company, they still could not reach the level of Jiang Yu.

Furthermore, in the past two years, many domestic entertainment companies have encountered bottlenecks in their development and are all transforming themselves, moving towards diversified business models, including music, film, television, and variety shows.

Mr. Liu has also been transforming over the past two years, evolving from an artist agency to a multi-faceted company. Previously, they specialized in developing artists, operating as a simple agency. However, in the past two years, the company has expanded beyond artist development to include music, variety shows, and film and television.

However, in the past two years, many projects invested by Fengtian Entertainment Company have not had good economic returns, especially in the film and television sector, and many have failed.

Now, Mr. Liu has turned his attention to domestic animation.

He believes that the domestic animation industry has experienced rapid growth over the past two years, experiencing a period of rapid growth. The market has enormous potential, but the investment pool is limited. After all, in the animation field, animation from Japan is considered the best worldwide. Many domestic viewers believe that domestic animation is inferior to that from Japan, and this is indeed true.

However, the development momentum of domestic animation is very strong and the prospects are very good. Mr. Liu feels that in a few years, the field of domestic animation will definitely be a hot commodity and a big cake.

and so……

He also included the animation project in the company's key development projects this year. Now, he is looking at an animation project submitted by the head of the company's newly established animation department.

"Mr. Liu, I think if we make anime, we can actually purchase popular classic novel IPs from major online literature platforms and adapt them. That way, we'll have ready-made scripts and a huge fan base to support the original novels."

The head of the animation department expressed his views.

"Look, Mr. Liu, novel IP adaptations have been very popular in the past two years. Warner Bros. has used IP adaptations to launch many popular film and television dramas in the past two years. Although some of them have not received good reviews, they have achieved great results thanks to the foundation of the original works and the support of popular artists. Look at the back here, which are classic and popular IPs in male-oriented novels on Yuedian. Some of the copyrights have already been sold, and many of them are still unsold. I have bought two fantasy novels and want to turn them into animations. The production will be simple when the time comes. With the support of the huge number of fans of the original works, I think the success in the animation field should be guaranteed."

Mr. Liu listened to the words of the head of the animation department, looked at the plan in his hand, and nodded. He also thought so.

"Indeed, let's do this, Lao Zhang. This animation will be handed over to you. Work hard and make achievements. I'll give you a big red envelope."

Director Zhang also smiled and said, "Okay, then, Mr. Liu, I will continue with the anime adaptation of Fights of the Heavens. I will try to finish the first season as soon as possible and see how it goes. If it's okay, we will continue with the second season."

Mr. Liu had no objection to this. He suggested that they make the first part first to see the market feedback. If it was good, they could continue to invest in the second part.

Moreover, the novel they are animating this time, "Fighting the Sky," is a fantasy novel that was a huge hit on Yuedian a few years ago. The author also became a legend with this book, and has countless fans of the original novel. When Mr. Liu was planning to make an animation, when purchasing the original IP, he chose this novel that was a huge hit on the entire Internet at that time. It can be said that the novel "Fighting the Sky" was a huge hit on the entire Internet a few years ago, and it created many genres. The author also climbed into the ranks of top writers with this novel. Even after many years, the popularity of this novel is still enduring, and it has always been at the top of the website rankings.

Mr. Liu is very optimistic about this novel. It's widely circulated, highly popular, and has many fans of the original work. However, anime has never been developed, partly because the conditions and market weren't there back then. IP adaptations have only become popular in the past two years. Furthermore, the high copyright fees have made people less optimistic about the anime sector, preferring instead to produce television series and live-action movies.

Many classic novel IPs have been released as film and television dramas, but simpler, less expensive animations have not been released. Many people are pessimistic about animation, and the domestic animation industry hasn't been very successful before. Only in the last one or two years has it gradually gained momentum and people have started to pay attention to the animation market.

Mr. Liu sat in his office chair. Director Zhang had already left, but the planning proposal was still on his desk. Mr. Liu picked it up and flipped through it again, then finally leaned back in his office chair with a sense of anticipation.

"Many companies in the industry haven't yet entered the animation sector. They are all focusing on high-end movies and TV series. Few companies are involved in animation, but this market has huge potential and is a piece of fat meat. If our company can do well in the animation sector this time, we can plan ahead and take a big piece of the pie."

Mr. Liu is very clear that he is one of the earliest companies in the industry to enter the animation sector. If he can succeed, he will definitely make a lot of money and even become the leader of the domestic animation industry.

They weren't like the Big Four studios. Warner Bros. essentially controlled the film and television industry, and many of their previous investments had failed. Warner Bros. looked down on the animation industry, and so did many other major companies. While there were many companies entering the market, Mr. Liu felt his side was stronger than those others.

In order to enter the animation sector, he went abroad to buy a lot of high-quality equipment and hired an excellent special effects team. He felt that the probability of success was very high.

After all, the original novel has a massive fan base, providing a natural source of traffic. Crucially, unlike film and television, which face strict censorship, anime doesn't have as many restrictions. If they can attract fans of the original novel and a few casual fans, Mr. Liu believes the results will be strong, if not even better.

Mr. Liu was still confident. Ever since the loss of Jiang Yu, the company's mainstay, none of its artists had been able to step up. While they had promoted many, few could reach Jiang Yu's level. And every time Mr. Liu heard about Jiang Yu and saw him progressing, he felt a pang of frustration.

In addition, many of the film and television projects invested by the company recently have failed, and the economic benefits have been declining. This time, Mr. Liu is well prepared for the animation sector and he is still very confident.

He is ready to show his talents in animation, as well as other fields. If film and television dramas are not his forte, he can go for variety shows.

"I'm looking forward to it..."

……

These days, Jiang Yu has been filming on the set, and occasionally takes leave to participate in the recording of "Star of Tomorrow". Although there is no elimination round, Jiang Yu will also take time to record some daily content.

Jiang Yu also found time to finish the script for the anime he had mentioned to Mr. Yang. Although it wasn't finished, only the first few episodes were written. But Jiang Yu felt that it should be fine to show it to Mr. Yang now.

After finishing writing, Jiang Yu sent it directly to Mr. Yang’s email.

"Mr. Yang, this is the script for the animation I wrote. Take a look at it first."

Mr. Yang had just finished dinner and was watching TV with his daughter at home. He was a little surprised to see Jiang Yu's message. He'd thought it would take another week, but only four days had passed, and Jiang Yu had already finished writing it?
The process is quite fast, but I don’t know the quality of the script that will be produced.

Mr. Yang was a little curious, so he gave his wife a look and asked her to stay with their daughter while he went to take care of some work.

"Beibei, you and mommy watch TV here. Daddy has some work to take care of, so he'll be out with you later."

Mr. Yang, who is so serious that his employees are afraid of him in the company, now appears so gentle and kind in front of his precious daughter.

Beibei was very obedient. She knew that her father had work to deal with, so she didn't bother him.

When Mr. Yang came to the study, turned on the computer, logged into his email, clicked on the script sent by Jiang Yu, and sat down to take a good look at it.

"Super Beast Armor..."

When Mr. Yang saw the name of this anime, he was also a little curious and confused.

Judging from the name, it seems a bit like a mecha-themed anime.

Patiently, Mr. Yang began to read the script. At first, he was rather careless, swiping the mouse around. But as he read, he straightened up, leaning slightly forward over his computer desk, his glasses reflecting light. But his eyes were filled with intense concentration and awe. There were only six episodes in the script, yet Mr. Yang read it over and over again.

After a while, Mr. Yang leaned back in his chair, feeling somewhat shocked, but with an excited smile on his face.

"This guy Xiao Jiang... is really talented!"

“This script is so well written!”

Initially, Mr. Yang thought that with such a short timeframe, Jiang Yu wouldn't be able to produce a new script of the highest quality. If he had more time, Mr. Yang wouldn't have doubted Jiang Yu's creative abilities, but the timeframe was only four days.

But, in such a short time, Jiang Yu had written such an excellent anime script. And it wasn't an adaptation of his "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", it was a brand new anime script, and the quality was so high!
This really shocked Mr. Yang again!

"This kid is really amazing!"
