Don't let him do animation

Transformers is going to make a movie?

And it’s a real-life movie!

Reporter Wang didn't dare to think about it any further, the news was too explosive.

You know, Transformers is the story of a group of Autobots. If it were made into a movie, how big a project would it have to be?

"This is really a pleasant surprise." Reporter Wang laughed dryly.

Then, he thought of Linlang Studio's exclusive director, and his expression immediately became strange. If it was shot by Qi Zhensong. After all, this guy had vowed in front of the media cameras that the new movie would be a hot seller, but in the end, something unexpected happened that caught everyone off guard.

"Yes, Transformers has always been very popular, so I have wanted to make a Transformers movie for a long time."

Chen Ji responded with a smile.

Afterwards, Chen Ji and reporter Wang talked for a long time about Transformers. Until the end of the interview, the two talents ended the interview with reluctance.

The photographer has turned off his camera.

Reporter Wang: "Mr. Chen, this interview is over. Thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule."

"It's okay, it's okay." Chen Ji waved his hands repeatedly.

After seeing off reporter Wang and his group, Han Hongda stood at the door of the building and asked in a low voice: "Boss, is everything you said during the interview true?"

"It could be true, or it could be false. I haven't said anything definite." Chen Ji did not explain further.

A few days later, CCTV Children released a preview in advance after organizing the content of the interview with Chen Ji.

[The program crew was invited to Linlang Studios to face the inside story of animation and its future development, involving Dragon Ball, Transformers and other content. The program will be broadcast this Friday]

When the trailer was broadcast, countless young people were stunned.

I went to Linlang Studio for an interview and found out a lot of information.

Suddenly, these young people's attention to the program increased significantly, and they all took note of this important day, Friday.

If we were interviewing other people, they might not necessarily take it seriously, or even have the interest to watch it, but Linlang Studio is different. It involves a lot of content that they want to know, and the trailer also says that there is Dragon Ball.

Dragon Ball just came to an end recently, and Linlang Studio has released news about Dragon Ball again. How can one not want to watch it?

"Damn, this wave must be watched."

“Just don’t let me down with the content.”

"."

Many people remember this day and want to get first-hand information. This news even became a hot topic at one point.

It can be seen that Linlang Studio has a special place in the hearts of young people.

Time quickly came to Friday.

The content of reporter Wang’s previous interview also officially appeared on the screen and was seen by a large number of young people who were thinking about today early on.

The first topic of the interview was about Dragon Ball.

When facing the interview with reporter Wang, Chen Ji spoke frankly and revealed that Dragon Ball may have two sequels in the future, one that is similar to the extra content and does not continue the story of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, and the other that continues the development of the Dragon Ball plot.

As to whether it will be done or not, it is still unknown, and Chen Ji only has a general idea about these contents about Dragon Ball.

The young people were surprised and delighted after hearing the news.

The good news is that there may be a sequel to Dragon Ball in the future, but the bad news is that there may not be one.

"." After they came to their senses, they didn't know what way to complain to express their current thoughts.

What follows is the content about Ultraman.

When he heard about Ultraman such as Leo, Taro, Ace, and Zero, he could no longer control his emotions.

"Oh my god, how much does this guy Chen Ji believe in light?"

"It's over. He has become obsessed with Ultraman and cannot extricate himself."

"Look at Jiko's attitude, it's a bit like playing with the world."

“Do all people with mental illness have similar symptoms?”

"I'm convinced too. Chen Ji disgusted the audience with his animation before, and now he keeps messing with Ultraman. Could it be that he has found a new way to mess with people's mentality? If that's the case, I admit that he wins."

People were complaining crazily about the screens in front of them.

When I heard those many creepy Ultraman names, my head felt like it was exploding, and my scalp went numb just thinking about it.

Chen Ji is so naive that he is hopelessly pathological.

However, after listening to this, many primary school students' beards began to growl and their blood boiled. If there really were a large group of Ultraman, they would be full of expectations for their future days.

Some primary school students even made all kinds of exaggerated poses in front of their TVs, imagining themselves as Ultraman fighting monsters.

Soon, the new content of the interview came to Saint Seiya.

"What, a new animation that incorporates Western elements?"

"Then what's there to see?"

"Chen Ji is just trash and unpatriotic. Report him. He must be a spy."

"Whoever wants to watch it can watch it. I won't watch it anyway. I urge everyone to boycott Linlang Studios."

"."

The animation Saint Seiya contains constellation elements, which is not our culture at all. Therefore, it was boycotted by a large number of netizens before it was even aired.

Why are the Western zodiac elements?
Only after the final news about Transformers was announced did the audience in front of the screen calm down.

Transformers is going to make a big movie!
Pillar and Optimus Prime are going to have a big fight in the real world!
How exciting would that be, and how cool would the special effects be?
But netizens who have calmed down don't have too high expectations, simply because it's hard to complain about the great director Qi Zhensong from Linlang Studio. After all, the movie he shot before made many people in the entertainment industry laugh their heads off.

After the show ended, many people had two opposing attitudes towards the big movie that Linlang Studio was about to shoot. Some people supported Linlang Studio, while others were not optimistic about it.

That day, the Internet was abuzz.

"Don't be silly. Qi Zhensong is just a special effects drama director. How can he make a good movie?"

"If Qi Zhensong directed a Transformers movie, I bet it would ruin the IP."

"The film industry is rotten to the core, so Linlang Studio should stop messing with it."

"Linlang Studio has always been adhering to the concept of creating happiness with heart, and will definitely attach great importance to the filming of the movie."

"As for the Transformers content, I don't think it can be filmed. There are so many Autobots and Decepticons, and the special effects can't be synthesized at all."

The news spread wider and wider.

Even many entertainment companies and famous directors generally expressed their pessimism about Linlang Studios' ability to film Transformers.

Because it's too difficult.

For robots like Transformers that are dozens of meters long, not to mention the budget, the question of how to shoot them is a problem. It is impossible to use miniature shooting techniques to complete it.

In addition, when those Cybertron creatures fight, they can easily destroy a large area of ​​land.

There are still many problems. If you want to make a movie and don't care about the quality, it's definitely okay to make money by relying on emotions and IP, but if you really want to make a blockbuster, it's impossible to accomplish.

Many bigwigs in the entertainment industry have expressed their opinions on their Weibo accounts. They are generally not optimistic about Linlang Studio's plan to shoot a movie. Even if it can be shot, the investment will certainly be an astronomical figure, and whether it will be a hot seller at the box office is still unknown.

What normal person would do something crazy like this?

Linlang Studio is at the center of the storm.

Chen Ji remained unmoved. He read all the content published by the entertainment industry and all the rules and regulations listed. He completely sneered at them.

"It's hilarious."

After reading the opinions of entertainment companies and many directors, Chen Ji felt contemptuous.

The film industry is rotten to the core. It has been feeding fans pig food to reap box office revenue. Now that Linlang Studio has started to make a movie, those unenterprising directors and companies have immediately jumped out to express their disapproval.

Chen Ji took out his mobile phone and posted a Weibo to express his importance to Transformers.

[Linlang Studios will spend a huge amount of money to shoot Transformers. Don't worry, it will definitely be a real blockbuster]

Don’t say anything else.

How cool Pacific Rim was in his memory.

It is not a question of whether the film can be made or not, but that when making a movie, one only thinks about making the minimum investment, adding publicity to reap the box office and getting fans to pay for it. This approach will never produce a true blockbuster movie.

Take a certain movie for example, with just a few simple backgrounds, they started massive publicity to promote this blockbuster production with hundreds of millions of dollars of investment. There are countless examples of this.

Since it was a system reward, Chen Ji had no intention of burying it, especially since it was a Transformers with a big IP backing it.

As for the online reviews of the yet-to-be-produced Saint Seiya, he didn't even bother to look at them. Some things are made and only after you've finished reading them will you realize how wrong you were before.

After that, he stopped looking at the news on the Internet, but instead modified the content of Saint Seiya and waited for Qi Zhensong to come.

He waited for two days, but there was still no news from Qi Zhensong.

"Didn't this guy see it?"

Chen Ji called Qi Zhensong and asked him to come over.

Two hours later, Qi Zhensong appeared in front of Chen Ji, his face full of confusion and complexity. He sat in the chair without saying a word.

Chen Ji found it funny and asked, "Why do you have that expression?"

"Nothing, nothing." The moment Qi Zhensong received Chen Ji's call, he knew he couldn't escape this time.

He had also seen news about Transformers before.

If it were in the past, he would definitely appear in Chen Ji's field of vision at the first moment and excitedly ask about relevant matters, but ever since the movie he directed became a laughing stock, he began to feel scared from the bottom of his heart.

On the one hand, he was not good at filming, and on the other hand, he never thought of using himself to film Transformers.

After all, it is a blockbuster movie, so we must use top directors instead of special effects directors who can only direct house movies.

Chen Ji said: "You should also know that we are going to shoot Transformers, so this task will be handed over to you."

Qi Zhensong shook his head: "Boss, I can't do it."

"You can't say no,"

"But I have no experience in this area, and you know that since the last movie incident, I have given up on my dream of making movies."

Chen Ji knew what Qi Zhensong was worried about, but this time was different from the last movie he directed.

"Don't worry, the script, funding, and everything else are ready for you. Even the special effects will be done by the studio, and I'll come over often to check on it, so you don't have to worry about anything."

"Is the boss doing this out of consideration for money? It's so hasty. I think it's crazy."

Qi Zhensong felt that the funds needed to shoot Transformers would be at least hundreds of millions, which was too crazy. If it were someone else, it would definitely take a year or two to find out all kinds of hidden problems.

"If you're not crazy, you're still young!"

"."

"."

Finally, Chen Ji finally convinced Qi Zhensong after much persuasion.

It's not that he must have Qi Zhensong to direct, but other directors are really hard to describe, and none of them are as easy to use and reliable as Qi Zhensong.

At least, he wouldn't do anything to harm the studio for his own benefit.

Chen Ji sat there for a moment, then continued, "Try to select people based on their character and good reputation."

Qi Zhensong asked: "What about acting?"

Chen Ji said disdainfully: "Do you believe that if I randomly pick two ordinary people on the street, their acting skills can beat many talented actors?"

"I believe!"

"That's it, just go ahead and do it."

Chen Ji waved his hand.

It is both an acknowledgement of the Transformers script and an optimism about Qi Zhensong.

As long as the filming is done carefully, it can be a high-quality film, even if it's not a blockbuster. After all, this IP has a natural 'attribute' bonus.

Qi Zhensong went to make a movie, and the first thing he had to do was to select the actors and crew.

During this period, Chen Ji was always there to help, just as he had promised before, especially with props. Adhering to the principle of having a lot of money, he was able to easily solve any problem.

"Boss, I always feel like you're crazy."

I had just finished talking with local authorities about traffic issues that might be affected during the filming of the movie, and when I returned to the office, the deer followed me in.

"I'm not crazy."

"Yeah, that's what those psychopaths say, too."

"What brings you here?"

"What could I possibly want to do here? Am I asking you to watch my cat do a backflip? Of course it's about the new animation."

The fawn grumbled.

At the end of Dragon Ball, the team returned from vacation, but the animation script that was promised before was nowhere to be seen. The reason turned out to be that Chen Ji went to make a movie.

What is going on? Could it be that when a company becomes big, it will open up popular cross-industry businesses? The company that makes mobile phones makes cars, the company that makes instant noodles makes mobile phones, the company that makes cars sells snail noodles, and now the company that makes animations is making movies.

Is it true that if your business does not cross industries, it will become unchallenging and you will start to feel uncomfortable?
"Oh, it was my negligence, it was my negligence." Chen Ji slapped his forehead. If Xiaolu had reminded him, he would have almost forgotten that his main business was making animations.

"Wait another three days, and I will definitely be able to give you a script for a new animation."

Chen Ji continued to speak, if they hurried to modify some elements of Saint Seiya, it would not be too difficult and there would be enough time.

Xiaolu nodded and asked, "Do you know what the Internet says about the new animation we are about to shoot?"

"I don't know. I guess a lot of people don't watch it. I'm used to it. When the animation airs, it will definitely shock a lot of people."

"I hope your confidence can be as good as the animation's script." Xiaolu curled his lips, saying one thing and thinking another. But when he saw the other person's confident look, he stopped worrying.

She just began to wonder what the animation of this constellation would be about, how good it would be, or how attractive it would be? (End of this chapter)
