Chapter 237
The script has finally been saved, and the next step is the image design of the characters, which Mu Bai is relatively good at.

It's just that Mu Bai's time is limited now. Although it is a short film, the workload of image design is not small. Mu Bai needs the help of Ji Yuanjie and Liu Zhe.

He first inquired about Xiao Ai's next arrangement, and then squeezed out the whole afternoon two days later.

Mu Bai then asked Fang Jiao to inform Ji Yuanjie and other group leaders to hold a meeting the day after tomorrow afternoon to discuss the issue of film and television singles and short films.

Once everything was arranged, it was time to board the plane.

Sitting next to Mu Bai was a very active little girl and a somewhat aloof mother.

He only looked at the mother and daughter, and continued to plan the production process of the short film in his mind. Thinking about it, he suddenly realized that if an animated short film is so difficult, wouldn't the film production of "My Neighbor Totoro" be more difficult?
Before I become familiar with the directing profession, I wonder if I can get more help from the system?
Mu Bai directly took this question to ask the system.

The system replied: [The system will provide assistance with the production of the "My Neighbor Totoro" movie at the next system reward, and the specific form of assistance cannot be disclosed to the host. 】

Mu Bai didn't expect the system to agree so happily, and at the same time, the more humane feeling of the previous system was even stronger.

When he received the system rewards last time, he felt that the system rewards seemed to be tailor-made for him, unlike the rewards issued at the beginning, which were aimless.

Mu Bai guessed: "It may be because when the system distributes rewards, the number of total appreciation points has increased."

Then Mu Bai went to the main page of the system to take a look at the current total appreciation value. Thanks to the two releases of "Xiangwang Fengyunlu", Mu Bai's [Painting Appreciation Value] increased by more than 100 million!
The "appreciation value" of other projects has not increased much, and the limelight of the second release of "Xiang Wang Feng Yun Lu" seems to have passed, which makes the "total appreciation value" stuck at around 920 million.

If Mu Bai has no new works, the 80 will be a huge gap.

Mu Bai was a little worried, the only work he released recently was "That Summer", and [Music Appreciation Value] has not risen anymore, and the "Appreciation Value" of a new song can increase by 30 at most.

The overall slow growth of "appreciation value" was only recently discovered by Mu Bai. He realized that the "appreciation value" of about ten million may be the ceiling in the country.

After all, Zhou Guo has a population of just over 1 million people. After reading or listening to his works, more than 1000 million people expressed their appreciation, which is already very impressive.

"The plan to open up foreign markets should be put on the agenda." Mu Bai said silently in his heart.

However, before this plan is released, the immediate dilemma must be resolved.

Mu Bai pondered for a while and didn't have a clue, so he first sketched the characters of the film and television single in his sketchbook.

He first drew the image of the monkey monster based on the image of Monkey King in "The Return of the Great Sage".

Compared with the image of Sun Wukong, the monkey monster described by Mu Bai looks more handsome and more humane.

"Wow, is this a monkey?" A child's voice asked childishly.

Mu Bai glanced at the four or five-year-old girl sitting next to him, and smiled slightly: "Yes, kid, this is a character that uncle just designed."

"Is this a character you just designed?" It was the child's mother who asked.

She was wearing a mask, so Mu Bai couldn't see her face, but the other party had a pair of beautiful eyes, and the child was also very beautiful, so it is estimated that she would not be ugly.

Mu Bai said smoothly: "Yeah, this image suddenly got into my mind, so I quickly drew him."

The young woman was very interested in the monkey monster's imagination: "Can I have a look at your sketchbook?"

"Of course." Mu Bai generously handed the sketchbook to the young woman.

The young woman started from the beginning. When she saw the character design of "Inuyasha", she was a little surprised and asked: "You are Mu Bai!"

Mu Bai smiled and said, "Have you watched "Inuyasha"?"

"Of course I've read it!" The young woman smiled and said, "It stands to reason that "Inuyasha" will be released soon, and I plan to buy a single volume!"

The young woman seemed to show respect by taking off her mask. As Mu Bai expected, behind the mask was a beautiful melon-seeded face, which was about 27 or [-] years old, and she smiled very nicely.

Mu Bai sized up the young woman for a second or two: "I'm sorry, I don't know if I mistook the person, but you look familiar."

The young woman smiled and handed Mu Bai a business card, and Mu Bai suddenly realized when he saw the name on the business card.

It turned out that this was Ding Xiyan, a scholar in the painting field of Hongwenguan. Mu Bai had made up information about national scholars and bachelors in Hongwenguan before, so he felt a little familiar when he saw her.

For Ding Xiyan, Mu Bai's impression is mainly that this young lady has been married twice, and the second marriage was divorced last year.

At that time, Mu Bai still lamented that he couldn't understand the world of strong women.

Another thing that impresses Mu Bai deeply is that Ding Xiyan's father is Ding Chuanhai, a national scholar of the current dynasty, who is only in his 50s now, the youngest national scholar, and also a master of painting.

Mu Bai solemnly put away the business card: "No wonder, no wonder, no respect, no respect."

He thought that Ding Xiyan had been wearing a mask just now, probably because he didn't want to reveal his identity, so he didn't call out his name.

Ding Xiyan was very satisfied with Mu Bai's thoughtfulness, he smiled at Mu Bai and put on his mask again, then concentrated on reading Mu Bai's sketchbook.

Ding Xiyan's daughter asked Mu Bai curiously: "Do you know my mother too?"

"Of course I know, your mother is very good at drawing!" Mu Bai laughed, although Mu Bai had never seen any of her works.

"Then do you also want to pursue my mother?" the little girl asked innocently.

Mu Bai almost choked on his own saliva, is single female bachelor so sought after?You can meet suitors everywhere, so Ding Xiyan wears a mask?
Ding Xiyan smiled and taught his daughter: "Baby, this is very rude. Please apologize to your uncle."

"I don't need to apologize." Mu Bai smiled and said to the little girl: "Little sister, since my uncle has a girlfriend, he can no longer pursue your mother, right?"

The little girl thought for a while but said: "It's not impossible, I can see that Mom likes you very much."

These words made everyone around laugh. Ding Xiyan also knocked his daughter on the head and said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense! Uncle will be angry!"

"I'm not talking nonsense!" The little girl said seriously: "Didn't you promise me to find me a father as soon as possible? This uncle is young, beautiful, and draws beautifully, and he seems to be easy to get along with."

Mu Bai smiled helplessly, what does "beautiful" mean?Girl, don't use adjectives indiscriminately!
However, Mu Bai still has some ways to deal with this kind of little girl. He asked the little girl, "What are you doing in Weicheng Mansion?"

"Go and play!"

"Where are you going to play?"

After two questions, the little girl was distracted by Mu Bai's topic, and began to chat about interesting places in Weicheng Mansion.

Ding Xiyan looked at Mu Bai's sketchbook: "Your level is higher than I imagined, are you graduating soon? I can recommend you to use the special enrollment channel to enter the Hongwen Museum."

Mu Bai smiled and said, "I'm dissatisfied with you, I've already got the special enrollment quota."

Ding Xiyan nodded and began to chat with Mu Bai about some painting skills, which benefited Mu Bai a lot. When he got off the plane, he must treat the mother and daughter to dinner.

Ding Xiyan was kind and did not refuse.

Xiao Ai was secretly anxious, their time was very tight, and the lunch time was only half an hour.

However, after Mu Bai revealed Ding Xiyan's bachelor status to Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai stopped urging her. After all, the bachelors of the Hongwen Museum are not seen every day. Mu Bai's treat.

Mu Bai found a restaurant with the characteristics of Weicheng Mansion, ordered a more distinctive roast duck and roast chicken, and ordered some special dishes of Weicheng Mansion.

The little girl likes roast chicken very much, and her mouth is full of oil.

After the meal, Fang Jiao, whom Mu Bai contacted as soon as he got off the plane, also arrived. He introduced to Ding Xiyan, "This is Fang Jiao, my assistant and secretary. You are not very familiar with Weicheng Mansion when you first came. Let her take you Go around Weicheng Mansion."

If Mu Bai had nothing to do, he would be willing to be the guide. This is a good opportunity to make friends with bachelors.

Ding Xiyan did not refuse Mu Bai's arrangement, and said politely to Fang Jiao, "Please take care of me these few days".

The little girl looked at Fang Jiao, then at Mu Bai, and asked Fang Jiao in a childish voice, "Are you this uncle's girlfriend?"

Fang Jiao blushed: "No, the director's girlfriend is pretty!"

"Then is she as beautiful as my mother?" The little girl casually threw out a proposition.

Just as Mu Bai was about to help Fang Jiao, he heard Fang Jiao say: "Little sister, this dress is so beautiful, where did you buy it?"

The little girl smiled and said: "My grandfather bought it for me from the mall!"

Mu Bai gave Fang Jiao a look of "doing well". Since Fang Jiao joined the studio, she has made great progress and is now a qualified assistant.

After bidding farewell to Ding Xiyan, Mu Bai continued to catch up on the announcement.

Entertaining Ding Xiyan was originally something that Mu Bai took care of, but he didn't take it to heart.

After another two days of notice, Mu Bai returned to the studio for a meeting in the afternoon of the seventh day.

Yang Wenjun and the others had already made preparations, and the meeting started as soon as Mu Bai came back.

"First of all, we need to set up a director team!" Mu Bai said, "I will be the director of the film and television single, and Ji Yuanjie's team and Liu Zhe's team will be responsible for the original painting.

"You need to mobilize the best from each group to participate and practice for our next film production.

"The plot is in charge of Xiaoqi's literary group, so be careful to express that sense of fate."

Mu Bai has already thought about these issues, and now it is just arranging and clarifying responsibilities.

Then he continued: "Now there are still two issues to be resolved. The first is whether the film and television single should be a three-dimensional animation or a two-dimensional animation? The second is the candidate for the executive director."
