Chapter 324
Having finalized the cooperation agenda with Gu Boying, Mu Bai really wanted to see Gu Changxing's face now.

Originally, this uncle wanted to completely break away from the struggles of the national scholars, but the sky didn't go his way, and She Sheng couldn't even hope to achieve any good results on the "New List" in November.

If he can reach a cooperation with Gu Boying, then he will not even think about being safe in the last month of the month.

The weather in November is already a bit cold, especially since a burst of cold air has just arrived, which can make you feel air-conditioned as soon as you get off the plane.

Even so, there are still many people who come to pick up the plane
Back in the car of Guofeng Studio, Mu Bai asked Zheng Huan who came to pick him up: "Is there any follow-up about Huo Pingwan?"

"She said in an exclusive interview yesterday that some media interpreted her words excessively," Zheng Huanhui reported.

Mu Baixin said that it was fortunate that he did not clarify immediately at that time, and it was also fortunate that Miao Xiaole was the messenger.

He pinched his chin and said in thought: "It's really strange, how could such an international superstar make such a low-level mistake?"

"Perhaps they really have their eyes on you." Zheng Huan said with a smile.

Mu Bai curled his lips: "It doesn't matter, the current result is the best result."

Returning to the studio this time, Mu Bai finally had a few days to relax. He did not plan to attend the movie's premiere in other countries, so he could just let Qi Heng and the others go.

Taking advantage of the time these few days, Mu Bai started to draw the storyboard after "Inuyasha" and the outline of the story.

When recording "Sunshine Room", Mu Bai used his free time at noon and night to draw a lot, and there will be no problem in using it until next year.

But Mu Bai plans to put "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" on the big screen next year. He doesn't plan to make a live-action version, but wants to continue making an animated movie.

It would be best if it were a 3D animated movie. Firstly, it would make more money at the box office, and secondly, it would be another wave of publicity for Fu Fengmao's team.

For this plan, we will start to make plans this year, such as expanding the animation team again and expanding the stereoscopic imaging team.

For the expansion of personnel, Mu Bai first discussed with Yang Wenjun and Bi Zeyang. Bi Zeyang has no problems here. With the current popularity of the studio, it is enough to recruit some experienced painters and original painting assistants who have just graduated.

But Yang Wenjun said: "The studio has no money now, and the remaining money is only enough to pay wages this month."

Mu Bai scratched his head: "I will inject another 300 million into the studio. In any case, only by maintaining the normal development of the studio can we have more funds to support the development of Guoyun."

His income from the "New List" in October had just arrived in the account, and Gu Changxing, an old fritter, waited for him to successfully complete his itinerary for Weiguo before he sent the money.

Originally, Mu Bai didn't plan to use the money, because he estimated that Ma Jingping would ask him for money again in the near future.

The box office revenue of "My Neighbor Totoro" may not be credited until the twelfth lunar month. Before that, there will be a large amount of funds to fill such a bottomless pit.

Mu Bai pondered for a while and said: "In the future, 300 million working capital will be set as the minimum threshold for the studio's funds. After the cash is less than 300 million, no more capital injections into Guoyun."

In this way, any investment in the studio can be turned around.

Yang Wenjun nodded: "OK."

After finalizing the work plan for the end of the year, Mu Bai had to prepare to go to Qin to shoot commercials.

It was agreed when Qin State opened a new company. Mu Bai had nothing serious to do in November, so he planned to earn back the five-year rent of the Qin State branch as promised, so as to save a little bit.

At the same time, "My Neighbor Totoro" was finally released.

Because of the previous publicity and the enthusiasm of film critics, the box office in the first two days was not bad.

……

Bai Kun's family went to watch "My Neighbor Totoro" with the fans club from Zhengyang Prefecture. In order to support Mu Bai, fan clubs from all over the country reserved the venue to varying degrees.

Zhengyang Mansion has booked ten fan meetings, and it is said that there will be ten more tomorrow.

Thanks to the fan platform of Guofeng.com, it is easy to crowdfund and arrange movie viewing times.

Bai Kun bought a bucket of popcorn, chatted with other fans about Guofeng.com's new comics, and entered the theater full of expectations.

At the beginning of the film, it is the scene of the protagonist's family moving.

The blue sky and white clouds, the wind and the sun are beautiful, and there are clumps of tall trees in the distance, which seem to be enjoying the sunshine.There is a thatched hut hiding in the shade of trees, which has a rare coolness in this summer.

There is also a picture of passing by the seaside, the sea water gently slaps the shore, birds are flying in the sky, and the ship is moving slowly in the distance.

This depiction of the fields has a kind of intimacy with nature, and a beautiful scene of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. The picture itself has enough leisure and comfort.

Bai Kun and others followed the movie and gradually calmed down.

With the sister and brother discovering acorns and dust elves in their new home, the main storyline of Totoro begins, and a wonderful world opens up to the audience.

When Totoro appeared, everyone couldn't help cheering together. They were basically Mu Bai's fans and knew the image of Totoro.

But what everyone is used to seeing is the stick figure of Totoro, and the image after simple coloring.

Such a vivid image moved many fans to tears.

As the story continues to unfold, the audience is gradually wrapped in warm and clean.

It was a heavy rainy night, because my father didn't bring an umbrella, so my sister took my brother to the bus station to deliver the umbrella.

But my father missed the usual bus, and as night fell, my younger brother gradually became so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. My elder sister had to carry Mei on her back and let her sleep on her back first.

It was still raining, and there was no quiet car on the road, only my sister and brother under the lonely street lamp.

At this time, Totoro appeared, standing next to her sister with a cute look on her face. The rain was hitting it, but it only put a leaf on top of its head as an umbrella.

My sister lent the umbrella prepared for my father to Totoro. The Totoro was attracted by the sound of water droplets falling on the umbrella, and even played with water wholeheartedly. It jumped high and then fell heavily, throwing the water on the leaves. After the shock, it splashed all over the umbrella.

Chinchilla is obviously having a good time, as to whether the umbrella can cover the rain or not, it doesn't seem to be that important in its eyes.

When the Totoro bus appeared, the audience cheered again.

The appearance of the Totoro bus, coupled with just the right music, made this clip even more exciting.

When Chinchilla was about to board the car, he gave his sister and younger brother a pack of acorns as a thank you gift for the umbrella.

So the siblings planted the seeds in the yard, looking forward to the germination of the seeds all the time.

Until one night, with the help of Totoro, these seeds quickly grew into a towering tree.

This clip full of childishness and imagination fascinated the audience, as if recalling their curiosity about seed germination when they were young.

Just when it was full of warmth and fun, the plot of the movie took a sharp turn. The sister and brother quarreled because of their mother's illness.

The atmosphere in the entire screening room became solemn, and the audience was also very worried about the loss of their brother.

This kind of contrast seems to magnify the unhappiness of the audience in childhood, and the loss of the younger brother, everyone searched everywhere to no avail, it seems to remind people of the helplessness of childhood.

Everyone seems to recall some questions that lingered in their minds when they were children: Why is there helplessness in this world?
Isn't it good to just be happy?
Why does such helplessness come to me?
Why can't I achieve the desired result after trying my best?

Fortunately, with the help of Totoro, after learning of her sister's helplessness and worry, Totoro asked her to take the Totoro bus, and soon found her lost brother.

After getting lost and searching, the sister and brother got back together, and then the Totoro bus took them to the hospital where their mother was staying.

Seeing that their mother was fine, the two siblings were completely relieved. The younger brother presented the corn picked for their mother by himself, and the two left quietly.

Seeing this scene, many viewers with low tears were moved to cry by the power of this family affection.

My Neighbor Totoro is like a magical helper in childhood, helping my sister and younger brother to "drive away" helplessness and end quarrels.

When they were children, everyone looked forward to having such a helper who could easily resolve their worries.

By the end of the film, My Neighbor Totoro becomes an expectation.

After watching the movie, Bai Kun was infected by the childishness and innocence shown in a clever way, as well as the return of the childish innocence and pure heart.

After coming out of the screening room, Bai and Kun were speechless for a long time.

They didn't recover from the aftertaste until they got back to their car.

Bai Kun sighed: "It's really a rare and good movie!"

……

After "My Neighbor Totoro" was released, it immediately aroused widespread heated discussions. Many people said that this is the most warm and childlike movie this year.

As the box office skyrocketed, "My Neighbor Totoro" was scheduled for more and more shows.

Then everyone was full of yearning for the beautiful scenery in the film. After learning that it was a resort in Pinghai Mansion, there was an endless stream of people traveling to Pinghai Mansion.

Mu Bai learned from Xiao Minghui that even in the colder November, the resort was full.

Thanks to the good feedback, Pinghai Prefecture immediately started the construction of the second phase of the resort.

Of course, the weather is getting colder, and there is no way to build it now, but the work of raising funds and preparing drawings has been fully launched.

Xiao Minghui also handed over the design work of the second phase to the separated "National Rhythm Architectural Design Studio" according to his previous promise.

Just as the good news came one after another, Mu Bai boarded the flight to Qin.

……

Gu Changxing didn't expect that "My Neighbor Totoro" would be so popular. Not only was Mu Bai not wiped out by Ming Guoshi's team, but he became stronger and stronger.

He wondered why Ming Guoshi didn't think of a way to prevent the release of "My Neighbor Totoro"?

But after inquiring about Gu Changxing, I heard that Ming Guoshi didn't stop him, but Ding Chuanhai himself ended up accusing him of destroying domestic art films.

Until now, the two national scholars are still fighting over this topic.

However, as "My Neighbor Totoro" became more and more popular, Ding Chuanhai gradually gained the upper hand. This is indeed a wonderful animated film, and Ming Guoshi's obstruction became somewhat intriguing.

This incident spread rapidly on the Internet, and many people speculated that Ming Guoshi was the big man Mu Bai had offended.

Ming Guoshi's reputation is very high, so no netizens launched a denunciation, but many netizens began to intercede for Mu Bai, hoping that Ming Guoshi would not continue to embarrass Mu Bai.

In Gu Changxing's opinion, someone must be manipulating public opinion behind the scenes, otherwise public opinion would not be so favorable to Mu Bai.

Of course, what upset Gu Changxing the most was that the two background music tracks of "My Neighbor Totoro" both entered the top ten of the "New List".

Although Mu Bai has not cooperated with music publishers, "My Neighbor Totoro" is the best promotion for these background music.

The release timing of "My Neighbor Totoro" is obviously the result of many discussions between Xiao Minghui and Mu Bai. Generally, there will be no blockbuster releases in November, and many movies are waiting for the "New Year's Eve".

This makes it easy for "My Neighbor Totoro" to dominate in November, and also makes "My Neighbor Totoro"'s background music more prominent.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the high quality of Totoro's films. After all, there are several movies released in November, and only "My Neighbor Totoro" stands out.

In the top ten of this month's "new list", there is only one song by Shesheng. This is the result of Shesheng mobilizing all the resources for publicity.

In Gu Changxing's eyes, the top ten on the "new list" had already changed beyond recognition, as if nothing had happened.

If the twelfth lunar month is still like this, Tangtang Shesheng will fall into a second-rate music company.

After thinking about it again and again, Gu Changxing dialed the phone number of the representative of Ming Guoshi who had contacted him: "Hey, didn't you say that you will no longer participate in the 'New List' in November? Why are you still posting so many songs?"

"I just promised that I will not release songs through the channel of news in the future. Who said that I will no longer participate in the 'new list'?" The other party smiled lightly.

Gu Changxing was so angry that he gritted his teeth. The other party said that he was going to renege on his debt: "Is this the Ming Dynasty's credit?"

"Director Gu's credibility is also impressive! He has already driven Mu Bai away, but he still wants to use his international reputation to advertise for himself! How can there be the best of both worlds?"

Gu Changxing said angrily: "Our agreement did not say that I cannot cooperate with Mu Bai internationally. I only admit to terminating domestic cooperation with Mu Bai!"

"Director Gu's sophistry is really ridiculous." The other party said: "In our agreement, I once clearly stated that as long as there is a song by Mu Bai on the 'New Chart', I will 'intervene'.

"Is Director Gu blind? Doesn't Mu Bai's new song appear on November's 'New List'?"

Gu Changxing was furious, who would have thought that after Mu Bai left the Shesheng platform, his songs would still be on the "new list"?
He threw the phone directly on the opposite wall, and the phone was immediately shattered.

Just when he was gritting his teeth in anger, Vice President Hou came in in a hurry: "Director! Boying is quitting Shesheng and setting up her own studio!"

Gu Changxing patted his forehead: "What mess is she making?"

……

Mu Bai first rested in the hotel for a day after arriving in Chengdu, Qin State. He just went to contact the advertising company when he heard the system prompt sound:
【Ding!Congratulations to the host for reaching the reward criteria! 】

Mu Bai was overjoyed that he could receive the award again!

　Thanks to [Ai Ze's], [My group of friends go diving for stocks based on their strength], and [Book Friends 854***585] for their recommendation votes.
