Chapter 80
Su Muyan returned to the company.
She happened to meet Chen Ying who also came back from outside.
Although the two were colleagues, Group 1 and Group 2 were competitors after all. As the leaders of the two groups, the relationship between the two was naturally not very good.
In the past, Group 2, where Su Muyan was, relied on two dramas in the top ten of the anime list to suppress Chen Ying's Group 1, and the other side was relatively restrained.
But this year, the overall situation of Group 2 was not very good, so Chen Ying started to jump again.
"This smell, it seems that Director Su is in good condition, and is in the mood to go to the cafe downstairs for a cup of coffee?" Chen Ying said with a sarcastic tone.
"Damn, are you born in the Year of the Dog? You can smell this?" Su Muyan was three parts surprised and seven parts teasing.
There is a very unique aromatherapy in the coffee shop downstairs. If you stay in it for a long time, you will naturally get some of it on your body.
"You!" Chen Ying was speechless after being rebuked by her. She knew that she couldn't win the argument with Su Muyan, so she didn't argue with her."Su Muyan, you have been so proud for so long. This year it's our turn."
"I just signed a book with 10,000 subscriptions, and you look so proud of yourself." Su Muyan shook her head in disdain.
"Haha, it's better than some people who can't even sign 10,000 orders and rely on their past performance to make ends meet." Chen Ying said with sarcasm in her tone.
"It's only July this year, how do you know I can't create a good IP?"Su Muyan looked at her with a smile.
Chen Ying was stunned at first, then sneered:"This year's best-selling books are all taken by the three major animation companies. Do you really think you can fool me?"
She knows the market very well. The big IPs that are popular this year are all taken by the three major animation companies. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so difficult for a medium-sized animation company like them.
The three major companies are competing for the market, but it's hard for companies like them that are neither up nor down. It can be said that it's a fight between gods and mortals.
At this time.
The elevator has reached the company's floor.
Su Muyan glanced at her and said lightly:"Can't we create original works without the big IP?"
After that, she walked away in high heels.
Chen Ying was left standing there in a daze.
Original?
Just relying on Su Muyan's second group?
"Haha, you can even say such things. It seems that you really have no other options. Wait until our new drama comes out and we win the project of the annual big movie, and then we'll see if you can still be stubborn."
She hummed a little tune, and her heart suddenly felt refreshed. She walked towards her office humming a little tune.
There is a saying in the animation industry that originality is a life or death struggle.
Because the production cost of animation is much higher than that of a novel, the novel IP adaptation not only has the popularity of the original fans, but the plot has also been screened by the market and has a basic guarantee.
However, if the original plot is not recognized by the market, it will be a huge loss, so few animation companies dare to use original scripts.
……
Su Muyan returned to the office.
She rubbed her sore brows.
What she said just now was just talk. After all, she couldn't show her weakness in front of her opponent, especially her old opponent.
In fact, what Chen Ying said was right. This year, the three major animation companies competed for the leading position in the industry and bought all the big IPs, which made it very difficult for mid- and upper-stream companies like Fantasy Animation.
They looked down on small IPs and couldn't get big IPs, so they were in a dilemma.
This is why Chen Ying was so proud to get the copyright of an animation book from Wan Dingshu.
It was indeed not good enough in the past, but now the copyright of Wan Dingshu is the best resource they can get.
Su Muyan, with a sad face, began to organize the files brought by the assistant on the desk.
After she finished processing those files, it was time to get off work.
Just as she was about to turn off the computer and go home, she thought of Li Jiang's script.
Although she was not optimistic about the original script, she wanted to take a look at it because of the relationship between Li Jiang and Su He.
Send the file to the computer via WeChat.
Then click on the file
《The screenwriter of"Song of Youth"
: Liu Guang
After Su He and Fatty discussed, they both agreed that Xinghe's vest would not be hidden for long. After it became popular, no matter how well it was hidden, it would be exposed. Therefore, it would be better to create a new vest in the film, television and animation fields.
In this way, even if Warner knew that Su He was Xing He, they would definitely not think that Su He was Liu Guang.
One was in the open, and the other was in the dark.
When both vests successfully reached the top, even Warner would not be able to affect anything.
"Liuguang, it seems that I have never heard of this name in online articles or editors.……"
Su Muyan is very professional in her work. She has known all online writers and famous screenwriters.
If she has never heard of someone, then they are either a famous writer or a newcomer. Just like music producers, many famous writers and screenwriters who work behind the scenes choose to open a new account because they want to make extra money after signing a contract or because they want to try new themes but are afraid of failure.
"Li Jiangjin is from the mixed circle, so it is impossible for him to know any great masters, but he also asked for a share of the copyright. Who else but a platinum master would dare to make such a request?"
It is the same in every industry. If you want copyright, you need to have a corresponding reputation and status. The middle and lower levels of the industry should not even think about copyright.
"Golden Coffin, Hanshui Temple……"
Although she didn't believe that Li Jiang knew any great god, she had promised him to read the script carefully, so even if she was not very interested, she would still read it carefully.
The plot of the first episode was not complicated.
It laid the groundwork for the golden coffin and this plot. The master Wangyou of Hanshui Temple passed away, and the golden coffin caused a stir in the martial arts world.
"Prince Yong'an, Xiao Chuhe……"
"Snow fell on the mountain, bleak……"
"Lei Wujie……"
"A once powerful character is suddenly abandoned, and then endures and develops. This setting is quite interesting."
After reading part of the plot, Su Muyan immediately became interested.
It must be said that this screenwriter is very professional. Not only did he give the script, but he also provided sample pictures of the character portraits and some pictures of the storyboards.
Even some of the finished scripts of their team were not so detailed.
If they were produced according to these portraits and storyboards, it would probably shorten the team's construction period by more than half, and those portraits were very consistent with the images she imagined when she read the script!
Su Muyan flipped through the script, and her pretty face changed from time to time.
Unconsciously, she felt the urge to urinate.
She looked at the time
"Oh my god! It's already ten o'clock? ?"
I actually worked overtime until ten o'clock in the evening!
You know, Su Muyan is a person who never works overtime. Even when there are big projects, she always leaves work on time.
When I came out of the office to use the bathroom, my colleague from Group 2 saw Su Muyan and was immediately shocked. He even forgot to say hello. When she came out of the bathroom, he hesitated and said,"Let's finish reading it first!"
Finally, she returned to the office.
"Damn, Director Su is actually working overtime!"
"It seems that Director Su was irritated. She hasn't gone home yet so late!"
"Sigh...Our second group has not received any good scripts, and Director Su is also anxious."
"She is under no less pressure than us. When I went to a group today, I was mocked by them."
"We have suppressed a group for several years, and they finally made a comeback, so they naturally want to be proud of themselves."
Everyone immediately started talking about it.
However, because of the poor performance and being ridiculed by competitors, the office area was shrouded in a heavy atmosphere.
