Chapter 244 Officially Become Director Mu

Although there were several teachers' faces, because Mu Bai's words were obviously not good-looking, but Mu Bai didn't intend to be polite to them.

Before Mu Bai regretted not establishing a good relationship with the school, when the studio gradually expanded, Mu Bai's mind also changed.

Because of the mediocre relationship with the school, he and Yang Wenjun did not get any help from the school at the beginning of their business.

However, the studio is still slowly developing, and the current results of the studio are Mu Bai's greatest confidence.

He was fortunate that he didn't get help from the school at the beginning, otherwise he owed the favor to the school at that time, and it would be really hard to repay it now, and he could easily be "morally kidnapped" by the school.

Just like the current "My Neighbor Totoro" project, Mu Bai now has the confidence, and would rather the project fall apart than insist on his own leadership.

If he had received help from the school before, Mu Bai knew that he had always been soft and not hard. When the time came, the teacher who had helped the studio would come to him and explain it to him. Maybe he would not be able to stick to his principles. .

"You may not know," Mu Bai told everyone, "While everyone is still having a meeting to discuss, the studio has completed the design of the script and characters for "My Neighbor Totoro".

"Director Xiao from Pinghai Mansion expressed his satisfaction. The day after tomorrow, the backbone of our animation team will leave for the resort in Pinghai Mansion to shoot scenes.

"I also brought the script and character design. After a while, everyone can reach an agreement, and I'll show it to the teachers. If we can't agree, I'm sorry for the commercial confidentiality."

Mu Bai's words made more teachers blush, but they were still a bit of a shock. They didn't expect that Guofeng Studio had already completed part of the work, and it had also been recognized by the producer.

Of course, only Mu Bai and Yang Wenjun knew that the script was just sent to Pinghai Mansion yesterday, and Xiao Minghui had to say if he didn't see it today.

However, Mu Bai is very confident in the script and character design. The script is thanks to Mr. Hayao Miyazaki. He almost copied the plot of "My Neighbor Totoro", and the character design is his forte.

Mu Bai said: "I would like to remind everyone that My Neighbor Totoro was designed by me. I became the co-producer of the "My Neighbor Totoro" movie with Ping Haifu based on the image and creativity of My Neighbor Totoro, so please don't ignore my presence in the movie. The voice in this movie.

"Let me introduce our studio again. Guofeng Studio has only been established for half a year, but we have already been involved in many industries, and our total assets have reached more than 1000 million!"

Many teachers exclaimed softly. In their eyes, Guofeng Studio is just a small studio in the suburbs.

Even teachers who have been to the Guofeng studio would never have imagined that such a remote studio with an ordinary-looking decoration would have so many assets.

Of course, many teachers think that Mu Bai is bluffing.

Believe it or not, everyone knows that if Guofeng Studio really had so much money, they might leave the school and find another production team to work with.

Mu Bai suddenly asked Zhou Yazhe: "Professor Zhou, has the professional quality of the students working in the studio improved?"

Zhou Yazhe definitely wants to cheer at this time: "To be honest, I have made great progress. Taking the works of this final exam as an example, the works of the students who participated in the studio work are obviously much more mature than those of the students who did not participate in the studio work."

Mu Bai nodded: "Everyone has heard that it is precisely because it can help students make obvious progress in their experience that I took the initiative to contact the college, hoping to create room for more students to improve.

"It's that simple, please don't think too complicated."

The teachers and department heads looked at each other, Mu Bai's meaning was very clear, he didn't come to the academy for help, but he wanted to give the students of the academy a chance to practice.

The dean sitting at the top nodded secretly in his heart. Mu Bai had changed his relationship with the teachers in a few words. The dean was quite satisfied with Mu Bai's method of seizing the moral high ground.

Leading the entire crew is not just about being talented, but also having certain means, otherwise it will be difficult to concentrate the strength of the entire crew.

Qu Xiesheng sneered and said, "Then why do we have a meeting? Why don't we just take a break!"

Mu Bai spread his hands: "This is my first time participating in the meeting, and I only found out about this meeting yesterday. If everyone had called me earlier, the misunderstanding between us would not have been so deep."

Then he changed the topic: "Of course, it would be great if the teachers could provide more valuable advice during the film production process.

"And the students who are willing to participate in this production activity are already actively signing up. I believe that with the guidance of teachers, their enthusiasm for work will be higher."

As soon as this remark came out, the meeting room was immediately in chaos. How could they not understand that they had no right to speak when they participated in the film production, and they had to urge the students to work hard.

This is unacceptable to most of them, after all they are teachers and Mu Bai is just a student.

Several teachers were ready to leave the venue angrily, but the dean hadn't expressed his opinion for a long time, so it was hard for them to leave.

Mu Bai said loudly again: "Which teacher participates in this project will be the producer of this film!"

The teachers immediately quieted down again. The producer has more authority than the director. They originally thought that the producer would be sent by Pinghai Mansion.

Seeing everyone quiet down, Mu Bai finally showed a long-lost smile: "This film will set up a 'supervisory team', as long as it is a teacher who participates in this project, it will be a member of the supervisory team."

He spread his hands: "Who told me to be a student of Sheng Huai College? If there is such a good thing, it is natural to think of the teachers."

Teachers, you looked at me and I looked at you, and for a moment I had no idea.

Fan Ze was the first to react. He asked, "Who do you plan to let be the director?"

"Me." Mu Bai pointed to himself: "After the image of Totoro appeared in my mind, a complete story also appeared along the way.

"No one knows Totoro better than me, and no one knows how to express the character of Totoro better than me, who else but me?"

Everyone was somewhat resistant to Mu Bai's words, but thinking that they would become the producer and could influence Mu Bai as a director at any time in the future, they also felt that this was acceptable.

The dean who sat at the top saw that the mess was almost cleared up, and finally said: "Okay, let's settle this matter first, Mu Bai will be the director of the movie.

"Everyone, as his teacher, should cooperate with his work, and let our students have enough opportunities to practice!

"Now let's discuss some details. When will each group organize people to enter the crew?"

Yang Wenjun took out his notebook: "I have some suggestions on this point. The first step in film production is to go to Pinghai Mansion to shoot scenes with more than 20 creative staff mainly working in the studio.

"Around July [-]th, we should be able to basically complete the background design and storyboards. At that time, we will ask teachers from the art department to follow up and bring students to join the crew to create original paintings.

"Around the tenth day of August, teachers from the acting department were invited to follow up and lead students majoring in directing and voice actors into the group for editing and dubbing.

"This is a rough timetable, and adjustments will be made based on actual conditions during implementation."

Qu Qisheng questioned: "It is impossible for you to complete the storyboards in about 20 days. It will take at least a month to complete it."

Mu Bai didn't bother to argue with them: "This is just an approximate timetable, not a serious work plan. If you don't have enough time, you can postpone it later."

"You guys are too careless." Qu Xiesheng seemed to be on the fence with Mu Bai: "You don't even have an accurate work plan."

"There will be." Mu Bai said perfunctorily. Most of the teachers have been stabilized by him, and it is not suitable for him to stir up disputes now.

After the teachers joined the group, Mu Bai talked to them again, they only have the right to make suggestions, as to whether he listens to their suggestions as the director, that is another matter.

After discussing the time for everyone to join the team, Mu Bai asked Yang Wenjun to be the general liaison between the project team and the school, and the framework for cooperation with the school was basically finalized.

After the meeting, the head of the music department, Bai Peishan, stopped Mu Bai: "I will let your head teacher, Li Yang, be responsible for the film music work."

Mu Bai smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'm afraid our department will send a teacher I don't know well."

At this time, everyone basically dispersed, and there were only two people in the corridor, Bai Peishan and Mu Bai. Bai Peishan suddenly asked in a low voice: "Tell me the truth, do you have success in becoming this director?"

Mu Bai smiled and said, "Even the dean ordered me to be the director?"

"The dean is the dean, how can he have time to examine your ability?" Bai Peishan said: "You offended so many people in the meeting just now, if something goes wrong with the movie, it will have an impact on your future career !”

Mu Bai didn't expect Bai Peishan to say that, he thought he had offended his department head too.Mu Bai smiled and said, "Don't worry, Director Bai, I have a plan in mind."

He paused and said: "Director Li Bo can bring his family to the resort in Pinghai Mansion during the holidays, I'm treating you!"

"I'm definitely going to see you!" Bai Peishan said as he walked forward: "In the future, the job opportunities in the studio should be more inclined to our department, not to mention the fine arts department and the performance department."

Mu Bai smiled bitterly and said: "Director Bai, I will definitely prefer students from our department, but Guofeng Studio is originally a studio mainly focused on painting business, and there is not much work on music.

"Like Fang Jiao and Zheng Huan, the soundtrack work has long since ended, so I still left them in the studio."

Bai Peishan pointed Mu Bai with his finger: "Let me say one sentence, you have ten sentences waiting for me!"

Mu Bai grinned and smiled.

……

Qu brought Sheng back to the office. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Mu Bai was too arrogant. He wanted to search the Internet to see what was good about the animated short film just produced by Guofeng Studio.

　Thanks to [Young Master Wenbing] for the recommendation vote. This name seems to be the name I want to use, and it has been taken by someone else. (o)
