Chapter 46 The Power of Public Opinion
"Yes, my only requirement is to set up an animation studio here and participate in the production of either of the two cartoons."
Meng Zhe nodded and said that what he said about participating in the production was actually to participate in the bottom-level work of animation - coloring the original painting, drawing the background, and painting in the middle.
The background and coloring are easy to understand, and the middle painting is a little more profound. How to say this...
Well, for example, if you want to draw an action of the Monkey King's hot hand destroying the flower stick and hitting the white bone essence, if it is a cartoon, you only need to draw two original paintings such as the Monkey King raising the golden hoop stick and the golden hoop stick hitting the white bone essence. The middle movement changes how much the reader can 'brain make up'.
However, when doing animation, you must draw the picture of the middle part with a slight change in the action. This is the so-called middle painting. Its synonymous word is 'animation' - a moving painting.
Normally speaking, for an animated short film of about ten minutes, the number of pictures in the middle will be between 4,000 and 6,000.
If there are enough pictures in the middle, the actions of the characters will appear natural. On the contrary, it will make people feel that the actions of the characters are stiff and weird. This is the main reason why people feel that the characters are strange when watching some domestic animations. In order to save costs, the middle paintings of these animations are basically not enough. .
If the animator who draws the middle painting is good at painting, then he can be upgraded to the original painter who painted the original painting in the past year or two years, and if he does well, he will be promoted to the original painting guidance... If he has always performed well, he will eventually be upgraded to the animation director step by step.
Meng Zhe established an animation production studio not to earn the hard money for the middle painting, but to make his own cartoons to make technical reserves. He doesn't want to meet the second Zhu Jianqiang again.
......
On the second day after signing the authorized animation contract, the Shueisha came from the follow-up creation outline of Meng Zhe's Chess Soul and Light Voice Girl, and hurried back to the country.
And Meng Zhe turned to start to help Kong Lan, and made suggestions for prosecuting Zhu Jianqiang's plagiarism and infringement lawsuit--
At Meng Zhe's proposal, from the day he hired a lawyer to submit the indictment, Kong Lan found more than a dozen news media to report on the suspected plagiarism.
Kong Lan privately stuffed money to reporters and magazines Meng Zhe doesn't know. Anyway, the news and comments written by those reporters are all one-sidedly supporting Tianjiao Club, fighting for Meng Zhe, a 'genius comic teenager'.
Among them, Xia Xiaoxuan, a reporter of the Xijing Daily, was particularly fierce. She described Meng Zhe as pitiful and her image was comparable to 'Yang Bailao', while the corresponding Zhu Qiangqiang completely turned into an abominable 'Huang Shiren' with an abomination and means...
Public opinion supports Tianjiao Society because of the 'objective' reports of reporters, which can be seen from the support and support from the letters of many readers of animation teenagers.
After the formation of public opinion, newspapers and magazines that followed the trend also appeared. With the deepening of the report, Meng Zhe's two comics have signed contracts with the Japanese side, and the upcoming animation news has also been discovered, and the whole country is full of amazement!
If in the 1950s and 1960s, Chinese people were extremely confident; then in the 1980s and 1990s, when China opened its doors and Chinese people were surprised to find that many places were decades behind compared with foreign countries, the national mentality immediately changed from self-confidence to Extreme inferiority-esteem worships foreign countries.
In this era, the mentality of many elites is that no matter how good things are in China, if they are not recognized by foreigners, they are all dross! The dross must be swept into the historical garbage heap!
Not only do they worship Europe and the United States, but also the feud countries such as the mud bombardment of the country have become the object of worship... The social mentality of inferiority, the news that makes any Chinese people win or be recognized internationally, will cause overwhelming public opinion in the country.
Although Meng Zhe's "international" reputation this time is just a cartoon for children that is not worth mentioning in the eyes of many people, but under the amplification of this social climate, it has also become a great event!
So for a while, many expert professors came out to write articles, analyzing the reasons why Meng Zhe's "Ches Soul" and "Light Voice Girl" won international reputation.
Most of the experts and scholars who jumped out are actually talking about cars, and the purpose is nothing more than to make soy sauce to earn manuscript fees.
But there are also many high-quality works in the writings - the first director of the Shanghai Art Film Studio, the first director of the "Proud General", "The Little Tadpole Looking for a Mother", "The Flute", "Landscape" and so on, and so on, also published a signed article.
In the signed article, Tewei clearly sorted out the situation of the animation industry in Japan. The long industrial chain and the annual output value of trillion yuan are people's hearts are fascinated and excited.
Of course, as a director of the Chinese school, Tewei did not praise Meng Zhe in the article, but also pointed out the shortcomings of Meng Zhe's cartoon style, which was too heavily influenced by Japanese comics. But the old man Tewei also tolerantly said that Meng Zhe is still young now, so it is understandable to be influenced by the Japanese comics, and there will be enough time to sharpen and change in the future... It is good to be young. If you perform well, it is easy to be promoted by the elders!
Xia Xiaoxuan wrote earlier that the article "The Boy Here" that praised Meng Zhe's praise for the characters in the sky and the earth has also been reprinted by various newspapers and magazines, not to mention those who are not famous. The famous reprinted publications are "Readers" and "Bosom friend".
To put it bluntly, Meng Zhe has now become the most famous talented teenager in China. People who are at the forefront of the times. If they don't know who Meng Jiji won the grand prize in Japan and the comic is about to be adapted into an animation, he will be despised by others in the circle.
Under such a social trend, CCTV announced that it would introduce the cartoons of Chess Soul and Light Voice Girl as soon as possible, and decided to acquire the animation copyright of Meng Zhe's Go Boy!
Two-thirds of "Young Chess Saint" has been broadcast on the Windmill program, but it has been quietly replaced by another cartoon.
Then, radio and television also said that Meng Zhe's two cartoons are rare domestic high-quality children's books with healthy content in recent years, so there will be no trouble for introduction and approval. Regarding CCTV's decision to acquire the animation copyright of Go Youth, Radio and Television also expressed its support and appreciation...
Under the triple influence of facts, public opinion pressure and 'the foreign moon is rounder than China', how can this first domestic cartoon copyright lawsuit lose?!
In the end, Zhu Jianqiang lost the lawsuit in the first instance. Zhu Jianqiang needed to compensate Meng Zhe and Tianjiao Club for 20,000 yuan, and published an apology.
When he saw the judgment, Meng Zhe went to school with a pencil box in his pleasure... Hey, being young is not all good. The better his performance is, the more he will be forced to take the final exam!
