Chapter 348 Recording and finalization(1/2)
Jiang Caihua is about the same age as Jiang Yuan this year.
After graduating from college, I founded a color painting studio. In the first two years of the studio's development, I basically took on small orders and tried to grow.
It wasn't until this year that I signed a contract with Jiang Yuan Studio and completed the production of the "Big Fish" MV, becoming somewhat famous in the industry.
After the music video, Jiang Caihua did not expect that the second cooperation project would directly reach the level of theatrical movies.
Supplemented by Jiang Yuan's explanation at the meeting in the afternoon, Jiang Caihua ran to his workbench barefoot without even wearing shoes and received the documents sent by Jiang Yuan.
"Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage." Jiang Caihua repeated the name twice.
If nothing else, this should be a very important work in my career.
Just being titled Journey to the West made Jiang Caihua a little worried.
In recent years, there have been many animation works based on Journey to the West on Blue Star.
But not to mention all of them, at least 70% of them fought vigorously.
So, with the mentality of opening a blind box, Jiang Caihua began to read the script.
The script structure of "The Return of the Great Sage" is actually not complicated. Ignoring the core and spirit of the story, based on the plot alone, it is roughly a story about Jiang Liu'er unlocking the seal of the Great Sage and finally defeating the boss demon king.
The script is not the most amazing thing about this movie.
However, after reading the script, Jiang Caihua couldn't help but be amazed.
Reading the script with the mentality of opening a blind box, Jiang Caihua originally thought that even if Jiang Yuan's writing was bad, she would write a new version of the script for this investment.
As a result, the quality of this script is not only not bad, it even definitely exceeds the average level of Journey to the West IP works.
What really surprised Jiang Caihua was that this script could be described in one word.
thin!
It's so detailed, just the text content gives Jiang Cai's paintings a very real sense of picture.
She even read the lens language from these words. Following the words, she had already constructed the storyboard in her mind, naturally and without much thinking.
It even gave Jiang Caihua an impulse to start work right away.
She has already imagined how grand the movie scenes will be through words, converting various large scenes into animation form.
Just thinking about it made her ignite.
After exiting the script, Jiang Caihua saw the setting album sent by Jiang Yuan.
After clicking it casually, Jiang Caihua was shocked again. She never thought that Jiang Yuan had already designed the character.
It even includes the design of some scenes.
The character drawing was drawn by Jiang Yuan himself using a tablet. He did not have drawing skills from the system, so Jiang Yuan only relied on the memory in his mind and the drawing skills he mastered in art class in elementary school.
Although it is rough, the character characteristics are restored as much as possible.
In Jiang Caihua's eyes, this roughness actually seemed a bit cute.
But Jiang Caihua took a closer look and found that there were dense annotations on the edges of these pictures.
Although Jiang Yuan's own painting is not good enough, he knows what a good painting looks like.
So I marked all the details that I didn't draw.
Based on these revisions, Jiang Caihua subconsciously picked up the pen and started drawing on his tablet.
Not long after, a picture of the Great Sage, which was not very good-looking but lifelike, appeared on the paper.
Jiang Caihua was inexplicably shocked, as if a perfect character picture was born.
After looking through the various attachments sent by Jiang Yuan, Jiang Caihua was silent for a few seconds.
It's so complete. The last time I saw such a complete script was the music video for "Big Fish".
But it is just a music video after all, not the same size as a movie.
After hesitating for a short while, Jiang Caihua dialed Jiang Yuan's phone number.
At Jiang Yuan's home, after sending the script to Jiang Caihua, he spent the night eating dinner and building models.
When she was undressing and about to fall asleep, she thought of nothingness and found joy in it. It happened that Ye Xuanqi was not asleep yet, so she made a video call for a while before going to bed and practiced a chorus.
Not long after the video ended, Jiang Yuan received a call from Jiang Caihua.
"Have you finished reading the script?" Jiang Yuan asked in surprise when he answered the phone.
I originally thought that I would have to finish reading it the next day, but when I glanced at the time, I saw that the next day was only a few minutes away.
"I've finished reading!" Jiang Caihua said excitedly, then hesitated, "How about you become the director of this movie!"
"Eh?" Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, not expecting Jiang Caihua to make such a suggestion.
"It's better to say goodbye. I may not have much time." Jiang Yuan thought for two seconds and decisively refused.
If the main line of the system had not been fully opened before, Jiang Yuan might have considered agreeing.
However, now that all the main tasks have been completed, Jiang Yuan is naturally no longer prepared to do the director's job.
After all, it is not your own field of expertise, and even with system support, people's energy is limited.
What's more, for Jiang Yuan, his current life is fulfilling enough.
After hearing Jiang Yuan's answer, Jiang Caihua was not too surprised.
I just felt that the script given by Jiang Yuan was so complete that I had already conceived the entire film in my mind, so I couldn't help but ask this question.
In the end, Jiang Caihua promised during the call that he would complete the work well and live up to expectations before hanging up the phone.
After the call ended, Jiang Yuan was very satisfied with Jiang Caihua's attitude.
With this drive and outstanding professional ability, Jiang Yuan is also looking forward to the birth of "The Return of the Great Sage" on Blue Star.
I don’t know how much task progress it will provide for myself.
Thinking about it, Jiang Yuan lay on the bed and fell asleep.
A dreamless night.
Early the next morning, after Jiang Yuan had breakfast, he got into the nanny car and headed to Xingyuan Entertainment.
Today is a day where I have an appointment with Wang Xicun to record together and discuss the MV shooting.
"This is this week's itinerary. Please roughly confirm it." Zhang Qing handed the tablet to Jiang Yuan in the nanny's car.
Jiang Yuan took a look and saw that this week's work would become busier starting tomorrow.
From the commercial shooting to the singing schedule, everything was well arranged.
"Understood." After a brief glance, Jiang Yuan returned the tablet.
Then he lowered his head and began to reply to Wang Xicun's message on his mobile phone, "I'm already on the way and I'll pick you up downstairs in the company later."
After replying, he switched to another chat box and replied to Ye Xuanqi's good morning greeting, "Good morning, I have a schedule today and I want to record it."
On the way to the company, Zhang Qing glanced over inadvertently and suddenly felt worried when she saw Jiang Yuan operating on both lines.
Why does it feel like a house that originally felt like it couldn't be collapsed suddenly has more space that can be collapsed?
Time always passed quickly while chatting. Jiang Yuan felt that the vehicle had already arrived downstairs of the company in a short while.
The car door opened and Jiang Yuan walked into the company building.
In the coffee shop opposite the company, there were also several reporters stationed there and took photos of Jiang Yuan.
These are all reporters who heard that Jiang Yuan came to the company yesterday and happened to have no information to track.
I just wanted to try my luck at Xingyuan. If Jiang Yuan is photographed showing up at the company, it will be news to everyone.
After entering the company, Jiang Yuan sat down in the bakery on the first floor of the company, waiting for Wang Xicun's arrival.
Several reporters stationed at the door relaxed their tense state after taking photos of Jiang Yuan.
Today’s news is already there, let’s get straight to it.
It wasn't until another black business car stopped in front of the company that one or two of them regained their spirits.
When they saw Wang Xicun getting out of the car, even though they didn't recognize who it was, when they saw Jiang Yuan coming out of the company again to greet him, they all quickly clicked the camera shutter.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the recording studio first." Jiang Yuan said with a smile after seeing Wang Xicun.
The two of them were chatting along the way just now.
"Okay." Wang Xicun ignored Xia Chunhua's wary eyes and smiled brightly.
The reporter accurately captured this moment and couldn't help but sigh, "It's so beautiful!"
I don’t know if I am sighing at the picture, my performance today, or both.
Jiang Yuan led Wang Xicun into the company, which originally felt good, but Xia Chunhua's sharp eyes kept giving Jiang Yuan a feeling like thorns piercing his back.
It wasn't until I came to the recording studio and left Xia Chunhua's sight that this feeling subsided.
"Hello, I am Deng Ge, Jiang Yuan's royal producer!" Deng Ge introduced himself.
I don’t know from which day, when Deng Ge introduced himself, he added the words Jiang Yuanqiang.
