Chapter 492: Animated Film

"How many of those shipments were shipped?"

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Meng Shu asked the secretary about the delivery situation around him after the meeting.

"Thanks to those students, another group of people will be arranged to work overtime in the evening, and all the orders will be sent out before dawn tomorrow."

The secretary replied with a smile, Han Xuan and Liu Yi are now studying in Suhua University City, and they have established a comic club with the help of Phoenix Company.

"Those college students are very capable!"

Hearing the secretary's answer, Meng Shu breathed a sigh of relief, the surrounding area was sent in one day, which was very good and could be accepted by buyers.

However, this is not all the credit of this group of students, Meng Huo notified the manufacturer last night, and specially sent them the list of buyers who bought a single periphery during the day today, so that they could help deliver the goods. The orders made at Phoenix are all mixed orders, and individual manufacturers cannot be combined.

The surrounding delivery problem was solved, and Meng Shu then found Zhou Qian.

"Here's the plan, and I'll give it to you after that."

He handed Zhou Qian a very thick plan, which was the result of his day, and Meng Shu asked the person in charge of promotion and marketing to stay up late to make some plans. He then met early in the morning to discuss the feasibility of these plans, then coordinated with various departments, and finally had to fax Xu Jing to Ninghai to make sure that there were no loopholes, and the matter was settled.

Just such a thing, Meng Shu was busy all day, and he didn't even have time to meet those four friends. However, his speed is already very amazing to outsiders, and it takes ten days and half a month for other companies to formulate a plan. He completed all the previous formalities in one day. It's almost implemented.

Meng is not responsible for the specific implementation. He handed over the plan to Zhou Qian, and Zhou Qian just did what was above.

"Okay, no problem, I'll make it work!"

Zhou Qian said with red eyes, her eyes were bloodshot, not because she had cried, but because she stayed up late. Yesterday's sales around her shocked her too much, and the development of the past six months was not as strong as yesterday's day. Zhou Qian couldn't sleep excitedly, she stayed up all night and worked all night last night, and now her eyes are red, but her face is still not very tired.

gave the plan and explained Zhou Qian some things that needed attention, Meng Shu turned around and left, before Zhou Qian encountered unsolvable trouble, he could temporarily put down the surrounding business. This dragged him on for a day, and he had other things to do - such as a celebration party for the members of the animation production department.

The success of "Madoka Magical Girl" is inseparable from the hard work of the employees of the animation department, and the animation is over. Although there are still some bits and pieces of follow-up paintings to be done, there is no need to rush so much. Meng was going to give the employees a holiday.

"You can rest for a few days, go home, have fun, take paid leave, and come back to work next Monday - but don't rush to leave tonight, you have to attend the celebration banquet tomorrow at noon, and there will be a bonus." After Meng Huo's announcement in the animation department, the employees who had been busy for several months cheered excitedly.

"Great, get out of it!"

"What's the pity, teacher, how much is the bonus?"

"Different jobs are different, and the core artists are the highest, with 8,000 each, but don't worry...... The lowest also has 4000. ”

Meng Shu did not hide it, and this sentence caused the excitement of the employees again. The bonus of 4000 to 8000 is too much, and this bonus will not conflict with the salary and the year-end bonus, it is only the bonus for the work at the end of "Madoka Magical Girl", and the employees of other animation departments do not have this benefit.

However, some people are surprised and some people are worried, although it is a good thing to get the bonus, but as soon as "Madoka Magical Girl" ends, according to the previous plan of Phoenix Company, the personnel here will have to be reorganized.

'Island' is the code name of this animation department, and its positioning was finalized during the production of "Madoka Magi", and several other animation departments are mainly responsible for the development and broadcast of feature-length animations. After 'Island', he was responsible for the production of short animations and animated films, and the requirements of the members were the highest.

He is personally the head of this department, and plans to release at least three works a year, and they are all super-first-class works, and the members here enjoy nearly twice the salary of other members of the animation department, and it is also the most glorious department in the entire Phoenix company, of course...... The competition is also brutal.

Although "Madoka Magical Girl" has given the current members a great advantage in staying behind, there are also a lot of powerful factions in the other two animation departments, and I don't know how many old people will be replaced after the end of this animation.

This system ensures that the 'island' will grow stronger over time, and it is not a place for ordinary employees to stay, but Meng Shu cannot have any extra sympathy. If he wants to launch more and better animations, then he must improve the level of the animation production team, and now his animation team is not as strong as the angels of Zhongxia Company.

If it were the same script, 'Island' would definitely be abused by angels.

Everyone has gone so far, of course Meng Huo can't rest on his laurels, and even if he changes employees, they won't be swept away. The employees who were replaced by the "island" will be placed in the other two animation departments, "Pokemon" and "Detective Conan" are both bare-handed long-form animations, and the employees are treated no worse than other places.

It is precisely because of this that some employees know that they may be replaced, but they still do not come out to complain - although the "island" is good, it is also stressful, and maybe it is more comfortable to go to the other two animation departments.

After a few words, Meng Shu walked out of the animation department, and Qin Ya was with him.

"What's a pity, teacher, has the next animation been decided?"

When it was far away from the animation department, Qin Ya couldn't wait to ask.

"I haven't decided yet, but I'd like to try making an animated film first."

Meng Shu replied with a smile that this time "Madoka Magical Girl" was a great success, but he did not give up the idea of making his own animated film. TV and cinema, this is something similar on the surface but completely different, he wants to watch animation in the cinema, that kind of visual enjoyment must be better than TV, and now there are not many competitors in animated films, there is a lot of room for it.

"Animated films? What animated movie? ”

Qin Ya was pleasantly surprised, she had never made zuò animation, this time she participated in the production of zuò "Madoka Magical Girl", at first it was just to deal with angels, but the purpose of doing it changed, she liked the feeling of making zuò animation, especially seeing that the paintings she drew were sought after by so many viewers on TV, she felt very satisfied.

If you make an animated movie, wouldn't it be cooler to be able to see your own paintings displayed in the cinema?

"I said I wasn't decided...... Well, it's just ......" Meng Yu stopped, turned his head and asked Qin Ya: "What do you think is the time to launch the theatrical version of "Madoka Magical Girl" now?" ”

Qin Ya's eyes immediately widened, like a gong: "What a pity teacher, "Madoka Magical Girl" has ended, and it is such a perfect ending, how can you still launch a theatrical version, and this story can be continued?" …… You didn't plan the theatrical version in the first place, did you? ”

Meng Shu nodded: "I think this story can be written, although the ending is good, don't you think we can have another divine turn?" The character of Homura can have a better performance in the theatrical version......"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Qin Ya shaking his hand.

"Stop, stop, stop! What a pity, teacher, don't give me spoilers! Qin Ya waved her hand, then patted her head, and sighed: "There is still a divine turn, it's really hard to imagine what kind of development the theater version will be...... But even so, I think it's better for you not to worry, teacher. ”

"Why?" Meng was surprised.

"Madoka Magical Girl" has just ended, the replay rights have not been sold, and it still has audience potential, so you better wait for it to ferment and mature......"

Qin Ya explained that although the current "Madoka Magical Girl" looks very popular, the number of viewers is not saturated. After the animation is finished, the extremely high evaluation will attract more people to be interested in this anime, and after it is replayed a few times, the number of viewers will be larger, and if you really want to make a theatrical version, wait just a year.

"In a year, the number of people who have seen the anime will be several times as many as it is now, and if the theatrical version is released by then, the popularity will definitely be high!"

After listening to Qin Ya's explanation, Meng Huo thought that what she said was very reasonable, and there was no need to be in such a hurry to launch the theater version.

"Forget it, I'll still think about something else...... Meng Shu smiled: "Rest for a few days first, now everyone is tired." ”

"By the way, why don't you pity the teacher...... I have a building yì. Qin Ya's heart suddenly moved, and said: "Your "Five Centimeters per Second" has been launched for several years, isn't it just right to be adapted into an animated movie now?" I can't think of a better comic book than a movie adaptation. ”

"It's not that I haven't thought about this ......" Meng Shu smiled, then shook his head and said: "But I always feel that the picture requirements for this work are too high, and the current members of the animation department are not good at it." ”

"If you can't do it, you can change it!" Qin Ya raised her eyebrows: "This is a good opportunity to improve the level of the animation department, reorganize it again, and then recruit a few powerful painters, and it will be able to make this movie." This is a movie, not an animation - animation we need to be serialized in a hurry, not movies. It's not hard for us to spend a few months making a movie with a beautiful style, right? ”

Meng Shu was stunned, that's right, they spent a few months making more than a dozen episodes of animation, if it took the same amount of time to make an animated movie that was less than 100 minutes long, then "Five Centimeters per Second" could be completely crafted.

He was a little moved, but didn't make a decision right away.

"You have a point, I'll take it into account." (To be continued......)
