Chapter 205 "My Neighbor Totoro"

Xiao Minghui inspected the image of Inuyasha, and then asked: "Is that comic good?"

Xiao Zhao said with certainty: "It's one of Zhou Guo's best cartoons!"

Xiao Minghui looked at Xiao Zhao and smiled.

"It's true!" Xiao Zhao explained: "I was just a fan of Mu Bai at first, but I fell in love with manga because of "Inuyasha". "

Xiao Minghui nodded slightly, and re-examined the anime character in the red robe.

There are other images that are also very eye-catching, such as the capsule-shaped yellow man with small arms and legs wearing work clothes. Some have one eye, some have two eyes, and they look very mobile.

There is also an animal that can't tell whether it is a cat or something. Its tail is folded and folded, and it looks very cute.

On the second floor of the mural, different scenes were designed for the characters on the first floor.

On the third floor, many young men are hanging safety ropes and standing on the scaffolding to draw new murals. The images on this floor are quite different. There are monsters with big faces and some abstract paintings. In short, the imagination here Force colorful.

Xiao Minghui said with emotion: "Guofeng Studio will create a different kind of landscape for Weicheng Mansion."

Today is Saturday, Liu Zhe and others are painting murals on the outer wall.The arrival of Xiao Minghui and others quickly attracted the attention of Liu Zhe and others.

After receiving Liu Zhe's call, Mu Bai warmly greeted him.

Several people exchanged a few simple greetings, and Mu Bai took Liu Zhe to visit the studio.

All the employees of the studio arrived today. When they entered the office, they first saw two neat rows of computers. According to visual inspection, there were more than 30 computers, and almost all of them were absent.

The two rows of computers are divided into two areas. One is the copywriting area composed of seven people. Everyone also uses computers to work, but only four people came today.

Mu Bai explained: "We are currently negotiating with Teacher Jiang Zixuan to publish "The Transcendence of Life" in the form of an e-book on 'Guofeng.com'. The head of the copywriting team has gone to Teacher Jiang."

Xiao Minghui smiled: "The business you are involved in is quite extensive."

Finally, Mu Bai led them to the work area of ​​the painting group. From the drawing board, it seemed that there were two groups. One group was empty in front of the drawing board, while the other group was full of people. Several computers, electronic drawing boards and other equipment.

Mu Bai introduced: "There are two painting groups, one is the mural painting group, they are all painting murals outside, and they will come back to design new murals after ten o'clock when the weather starts to get hot.

"The main work of another group is to draw the manga "Inuyasha"."

Xiao Minghui walked around in front of the drawing board, and felt that the imagination of the studio employees was good, and most of them had solid basic skills.

Moreover, although the layout of the studio is simple, it is neat and looks brand new, leaving a good impression on Xiao Minghui.

Xiao Zhao who followed was very excited. Being able to watch the creation of "Inuyasha" up close would give him enough talk in the forum.

If he hadn't followed the leader to visit, he would have taken pictures with his camera long ago.

Suddenly, he saw a very beautiful and temperamental girl among the employees in this group.

This girl did not appear in any of the live broadcasts of "Guofengwang". When Xiao Zhao learned that she was the general person in charge of drawing "Inuyasha", he said to himself: "No wonder the manga is so good. It turns out that the drawing staff is beautiful. reason."

As for being beautiful, Xiao Zhao didn't think about why he was good at drawing manga.

But Xiao Minghui felt that the temperament team leader looked familiar, but after thinking about it, he forgot where he met him.

Finally, Mu Bai took everyone to the reception room, drank tea and chatted for a while.

Xiao Minghui spoke first: "During the previous phone call, I have already stated my intention to come. There are no large-scale cultural enterprises in Pinghai Prefecture, and the pillar industries are too backward.

"After conducting extensive research, the Governor's Mansion has decided to vigorously develop the tourism industry, hoping to get the support of every person in Pinghai Mansion."

Mu Bai has heard a little about this policy. During Chinese New Year, he seems to have seen mascot advertisements on TV.

But at that time, he didn't take it too seriously. Now that Xiao Minghui contacted him, he called Yang Wenjun's father, Yang Jingming, to inquire about it.

Mu Bai learned from Yang Jingming that the planning department seems to have a lot of authority, but Xiao Minghui didn't talk about it, so Mu Bai pretended not to know.

After listening to Xiao Minghui's words, Mu Bai smiled and said: "This is natural. Vice President Yang and I are both from Pinghai Mansion. We are very happy to hear that we can contribute to the development of our hometown.

"I'm even willing to donate the image of Totoro to Pinghai Prefecture."

Hearing this, Xiao Minghui was slightly taken aback. Originally, he wanted to use the development of his hometown as an excuse to ask Mu Bai not to offer too high a price.

As a result, Mu Bai actually agreed to donate this image, which made him overjoyed.

But after all, he is a person who has experienced some storms, with a sincere smile on his face, he shook hands with Mu Bai enthusiastically and said: "On behalf of the governor's office, I thank you for your generosity."

Mu Bai said politely: "Yes, yes. Do I need to provide a three-dimensional image of Totoro and a detailed disassembly design?"

"It's best to have these."

Mu Bai nodded: "Then when I finish drawing here, I will send it to you."

"Okay, okay." Xiao Minghui rubbed his hands, always feeling that he got such a big advantage, and should take practical actions to thank Mu Bai.

But he didn't know what Mu Bai needed most now.

After talking about Totoro in a few words, Mu Bai started chatting with Xiao Minghui again: "I don't know how Director Xiao plans to use Totoro to create momentum for Pinghai Mansion?"

This is not a secret, Xiao Minghui said: "On the one hand, we need to advertise more, so that the concept of Totoro coming from Pinghai Mansion will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and then the enthusiasm attracted by Totoro will be directed to the scenic spots on the coastline.

"On the other hand, it is to publicize some 'interesting things' about Totoro, so that the image of Totoro will become fuller and more acceptable to people."

Mu Bai nodded as if he was being taught, and seemed to be very interested in this matter.

Speaking of this, Xiao Minghui sighed: "It's a pity that Totoro doesn't have too beautiful legends, otherwise the publicity would definitely be more effective."

Seeing that the opportunity came, Mu Bai said: "There is no legend, you can design a legend for him!"

Xiao Minghui was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly felt that his previous ideas were a bit "dark under the lights", yes, there is no legend that he can design by himself!
Then he took a deep look at Mu Bai. The people who can reach this position are all good people. He immediately realized that Mu Bai had his purpose in saying this.

At first Xiao Minghui was almost dizzy with joy because of Mu Bai's donation.But now that he has calmed down, to be able to set up a studio at this age, and still have such high achievements, he is definitely not an ordinary person.

At that moment, Xiao Minghui smiled and said, "What does Teacher Mu think?"

"The idea is too far to talk about." Mu Bai didn't hide it: "You probably haven't seen the image of a chinchilla in Pinghai Mansion, have you?"

This is true, Xiao Minghui nodded.

"Actually, the image of Totoro comes from a dream of mine." Mu Bai smiled and said, "So only I know the legend of Totoro."

Xiao Minghui, Xiao Zhao and others suddenly realized, and then they immediately realized that this should be a good story to promote Totoro.

Mu Bai continued: "I actually have a wonderful story about Totoro in my mind, that story can reflect innocence, scenery, and wonder.

"Furthermore, I have the idea of ​​making the story of Totoro into an animated film, but the timing was not ripe before, and now Totoro will become the image ambassador of Pinghai Mansion, I think this is an opportunity.

"Both Pinghai Mansion and our studio will benefit from filming the story of Totoro, and we can consider cooperation."

Xiao Minghui nodded. This is indeed a win-win cooperation. If the movie about Totoro is wonderful, it will not only accumulate a certain number of fans for "My Neighbor Totoro", but also present the scenic spot of Pinghai Mansion through the animated film.

He asked, "How does Teacher Mu plan to cooperate?"

"We provide people and ideas, Director Xiao provides money, contacts distributors and theaters, and we will be producers together." Mu Bai has already had a cooperation plan in mind: "At that time, I will be the director and screenwriter, and the "Dragon The story of "Cats" is perfectly presented."

Xiao Minghui thought about it: "Can your studio support this shelf?"

The crew of an animated film is not the drawing team of a comic. It needs many departments and its operation is also very complicated.

Mu Bai introduced: "Our studio has previously produced a game from the Age of Princes, which will be released in the near future. That game was completed by ourselves, from the original painting design to action design, programming, etc.

"Through this game, we basically have the foundation for making animated films. However, in order to make the film even better, I will ask Professor Zhou Yazhe from the Fine Arts Department of Holy White College to be our guide."

A movie is different from a small game, without a big shot, Mu Bai really dare not start working blindly.

Xiao Minghui had heard of Zhou Yazhe's name: "I believe in your abilities." Instead of believing in the ability of Guofeng Studio, it is better to believe in Zhou Yazhe's "signature".

But Xiao Minghui did not rush to agree: "We need to go back and discuss the details of the cooperation."

"Okay, wait for the good news." Mu Bai said with a smile, his plan just now was actually drawing cakes, and he would go to the academy to discuss with Zhou Yazhe first if he had time.

Yang Wenjun brought the "Agreement on the Donation of Totoro" that he had prepared long ago, and Xiao Minghui briefly looked at it. Although the planning department can use the image of Totoro at will, the copyright of Totoro is jointly owned by Mu Bai and the planning department. Both parties do not interfere with each other's right to use Chinchilla.

This is acceptable, after all, the image of Totoro was created by Mu Bai, and there was a promise of "non-interference with each other's use rights", which made Xiao Minghui dispel his doubts and signed the "Agreement" happily.
