Chapter 263 The End of Game of Thrones

The [Painting Appreciation Value] column has not changed much, only the "lifelike" before the [skill] column has become "lifelike ultimate".

And the notes on the back are gone, only the bare [Skill: Lifelike Ultimate Edition. 】The words.

The upgrade of painting skills is what makes Mu Bai the happiest. After all, this is the field he is most familiar with, and it is also the field he originally specialized in.

Other abilities such as music and poetry were given to him by the system.

After Mu Bai drew the last key storyboard, he began to preside over the binding and finishing.

At the same time, he called to invite Xiao Minghui to come over, and then invited Hao Wenzhong and Bai Peishan to come over and take a look at the storyboard first.

In fact, the storyboard is a simplified version of the movie. You can find relevant information about the entire plot of the movie, the trajectory of the characters, the meaning you want to express, etc.

At the same time, this is the outline of a movie, and future original paintings must be produced with full reference to the storyboards.

Mu Bai invited Xiao Minghui and others to come over, firstly, to respect them, and secondly, to ask them to have a look at the work results during this period.

After five o'clock in the afternoon, the storyboard was completed according to the plan.

Mu Bai stood on the chair and shouted: "Everyone has worked hard during this time! Tomorrow is a day off, so everyone can relax. Just like last time, everything you eat, play, and drink is considered part of the studio!"

"Oh!" Everyone cheered and was about to go out.

Mu Bai quickly added: "Pay attention to safety! You can't stay up late at night! Especially girls, they have to work in groups of three."

Amidst the chorus of "I know!" "The director is so annoying!" "We will protect ourselves!" everyone left the studio talking and laughing like herding sheep.

In the end, there were only Mu Bai, Ji Yuanjie, and Liu Zhe left in the studio. They hadn't relaxed for a long time. The three of them moved three chairs and chatted face to face.

Hao Wenzhong and Bai Peishan who were in the resort soon came over, and Qu Xiesheng also came with him. After all, he is an expert in film.

Liu Zhe poured tea for the three of them, and Mu Bai watched the storyboard with them.

For the sake of confidentiality, the storyboards were not copied, so all three were looking at the originals.

Hao Wenzhong and Bai Peishan didn't understand much, only Qu Xiesheng read it carefully, and it took him more than half an hour to finish it.

After closing the storyboard, Qu Xisheng breathed a long sigh of relief: "I didn't expect that you would complete such a high-quality storyboard in such a short period of time!
"Which assistant director is leading the work of the storyboard? It's hard to imagine that he is still a student, but his level is almost the same as that of a senior director."

Generally speaking, a certain assistant director is responsible for the storyboards in the animation film crew.

And most of the time it is done by the assistant director alone, or the crew members who have a good understanding with him, so it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Sometimes the storyboard of a movie may take a month or two. .

Hearing Qu Xiesheng's question, Ji Yuanjie and Liu Zhe looked at Mu Bai together.

Mu Bai raised his hand slightly: "Well, I have always been leading the creation of the storyboard."

After being slightly surprised, Qu Xiesheng was relieved. If Mu Bai didn't have this level, it is estimated that Mu Bai would not compete for the director.

It's just that he is a little unwilling, why he has worked so hard to hone his director skills, while Mu Bai was writing songs and making movies when he was a student.

The most irritating thing is that Mu Bai did everything well.

Not reconciled, but Qu Xiesheng, who should be asking, also asked: "How did you adjust more than 20 people to one channel?"

Qu Xiesheng understands the difficulty of storyboarding too well.

Because it is a programmatic thing and has high requirements for completeness, it is usually written by one or a few people, and when there are too many people, ideas tend to be scattered.

The key is that this is the first step in creation. Even the main creative staff only has a general direction. Too many ideas will disrupt the main creative staff's thoughts and ideas.

It is very likely that even the main creators will lose their creative direction in the end.

Mu Bai didn't even hide it: "I first made an outline, divided the story into small sections, and distributed them one by one.

"The drawing work is supervised by Yuan Jie and Liu Zhe. I am basically responsible for instructing the students on how to modify it after the drawing is finished, so as to ensure the integrity of the storyboard."

Qu Xiesheng has never even heard of this method: "It sounds like you have a mature movie in your mind, and then break it down into mirror pictures."

This time it was Mu Bai's turn to be shocked. Just as Qu Xiesheng said, "My Neighbor Totoro" was already in Mu Bai's mind, and the system thoughtfully provided a complete storyboard.

After the students finished drawing, Mu Bai just took it over and compared it with the storyboard in his mind, to know if they drew properly.

After a brief surprise, Mu Bai smiled and said: "I said before that when the images of Totoro appeared in my mind, his story also jumped out, so I am the one who knows Totoro best."

Qu Xiesheng nodded, he regretted that he had competed with Mu Bai for the director's position, because even if he did it, he might not be at a higher level than Mu Bai, but it must have taken more time than Mu Bai.

Hao Wenzhong and Bai Peishan had heard from their conversation that Mu Bai's storyboards were of good quality, so they were relieved.

Another half an hour later, Xiao Minghui came to the resort in person. He was a little dazed when he entered the studio yard: "What? Is the yard going to be renovated again?"

Mu Bai stood at the door and said with a smile: "That's right, it's just to create a decoration atmosphere."

Xiao Minghui smiled and nodded Mu Bai with his finger: "You are the only one who is clever!"

He didn't come alone, he also brought Zhou Guo's well-known director Fan Ning.

Fan Ning and Xiao Minghui are old friends, and they also participated in the promotion of Pinghaifu Resort Village.

It happened that he was filming in the urban area of ​​Pinghai Mansion, and Xiao Minghui invited him to take a look at the storyboard.

Originally, Fan Ning heard that he was here to "guidance" a new director, so he walked in with a figure-of-eight step and his big mouth curled up.

When I arrived at the studio, I first saw Qu Xiesheng: "Hey, Director Qu is here too! Hey, isn't this Mr. Hao Wenzhong! And Ms. Bai!"

He thought that the studio would be his biggest situation, but he didn't expect to become his younger brother all of a sudden.

Looking at the storyboards again, Fan Ning glanced at Xiao Minghui with some sadness. Is this the work of a novice?I don't know if I have this level!

After getting Fan Ning's affirmation, Xiao Minghui was completely relieved.

For a long time, he has been under a lot of pressure to let Mu Bai lead the film. If Mu Bai hadn't dragged the Holy Huay Academy into the water, the governor would have said nothing to approve the appropriation.

Having read the script of "My Neighbor Totoro" before, he can only be regarded as a little sigh of relief. Now that he has seen the storyboard, he completely believes in the ability of Mu Bai's team.

In the evening, Mu Bai took the time to send Tao Daixi and the others away. Xiao Minghui would send a car to send them off on their way home, so Mu Bai didn't have to worry about it.

Afterwards, the heads of the film crew had a meal together, and Hao Wenzhong suggested to set the tone. At tomorrow's meeting, Mu Bai's future leadership will be determined.

In the past, Mu Bai didn't have any results, so they didn't want to force it. Now that the storyboards are out, Mu Bai is enough to convince the crowd.

This night, Mu Bai had a good rest. In order to avoid fighting alone, he brought Liu Zhe to the meeting the next day.

As soon as they left the hospital, the two ran into Secretary Hou's family members.

They came to say goodbye, and at the same time thank Mu Bai for taking care of him during this time.

As soon as the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were sent away, Secretary Hou called to express his gratitude. During this period, Mu Bai tutored his daughter twice, put forward some high-level suggestions, and even sent someone to entertain her for so long.

Mu Bai said a few polite words to Secretary Hou, he naturally knew in his heart that what he did was just returning favors.

He hung up the phone and called Fang Jiao up for a meeting.

When we arrived at the conference room, most of the teachers were already there.

Many people looked at Mu Bai with some doubts, because yesterday a student said that the storyboard of the movie had been completed.

Naturally, they didn't believe it, but it was true that there were so many studio students celebrating outside.

This made them all murmur in their hearts, feeling that today's meeting would not be as simple as imagined.

Hao Wenzhong, Xiao Minghui and others also came one after another, and the meeting officially started.

The female teacher who questioned Mu Bai at the last meeting started to challenge Mu Bai: "Why haven't you announced the progress of your work during this time? What are you doing hiding from us?"

"Can we hide it from the teachers?" Mu Bai smiled and said, he didn't intend to talk nonsense to everyone: "The storyboard of the movie has been completed, and it has been approved by the investor.

"Next, teachers, please prepare and organize students to create original paintings."

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused quite a stir in the conference room. Although some people were prepared, they were still a little surprised when they heard Mu Bai say this.

It was too fast. The background design and storyboards were completed in about half a month. Even a senior crew with a tacit understanding may not have this speed, let alone a "rabble" composed of students.

The female teacher's voice trembled somewhat: "I want to check the storyboard!"

If Mu Bai really completes the storyboard, then he will gain complete control over the next work, and the teachers who want to get involved in the film production all understand this truth.

Mu Bai took out the storyboard: "Yes." After saying this, he pushed the storyboard in front of the female teacher.

The female teacher read two pages, she was a little unbelievable at first, then she pointed to one of the pages and said: "You made a very low-level mistake here, the plot progress is too slow! Sure enough, the speed is too fast, and the quality must not keep up. "

Mu Bai said with a smile: "The style of the whole movie is a leisurely country life, and the plot should of course be soothing!"

The female teacher took a look at Mu Bai: "Don't question my professionalism, your storyboard needs to be completely revised..."

"Okay!" Hao Wenzhong said suddenly: "You are an art student, do you know what a storyboard is?"

"Before I came..." the female teacher quickly argued.

The old man waved his hand and said, "You can leave the crew. We don't need unreasonable people here."

Hao Wenzhong's words here are absolutely authoritative: "Mu Bai's storyboard has been approved by us, and future film productions must be carried out according to this storyboard!"
