Chapter 237 Too Two-dimensional

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun is slightly slanting, but it is not too harsh.

Chuhe and Xu Dong arrived at Shenzhen Airport and returned to the south.

The car from Penguin Comic Company came early to pick up Chu He and Xu Dong.

"Mr. Chu, you go to the hotel to stay and rest for a night, and tomorrow we will study the issue of animation." Xu Dong arranged the itinerary in the car.

Chuhe shook his head: "What time is it? Don't need to rest, just go and watch the animation."

Chuhe is not tired, he still wants to finish his work and go home to raise pigs.

Xu Dong was naturally eager for this. He is an animation supervisor and has a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders. He is looking forward to solving the problem quickly. It is rare that Mr. Chu is so easy-going, so let's do it.

"Okay, go to the company building and call all relevant personnel for a meeting." Xu Dong made a phone call and asked the staff of Penguin Comics to get ready.

After a while, the car arrived at the Penguin Comics Building.

This building is very imposing, and it stands out from the crowd in the city center full of high-rise buildings. It can be seen that Penguin Comics is powerful and high-grade.

Xu Dong took Chu He up to the eighth floor, which was the whole floor of Penguin Comics.

At the elevator entrance, a young lady has already come to greet you. It's like welcoming guests, which is a bit funny.

"Supervisor Xu, Mr. Chu, this way please."

"I'll just take Mr. Chu there." Xu Dong simply took Chu He to the meeting room on the eighth floor.

The meeting room is also huge, the door is open, some people are walking around, and several staff members are moving equipment—equipment for showing animation.

"Is everyone here?" Xu Dong shouted as soon as he entered, rather impatiently.

"Xu Dong, what are you yelling about? Let Mr. Chu watch the animation first." In the first seat of the meeting room, sat a fat man in his fifties. He wore thick glasses and his forehead was a little bright. It was Xu Dong. Cai Mingsheng, his boss, is also the producer of Penguin Comics, and holds great power.

In addition, there were nearly [-] people sitting in the conference room, and besides the staff of Penguin Comics itself, most of them belonged to other companies.

Outsourcing, voice actors, scenes, etc., there are professionals here to cooperate with Penguin Comics.

As soon as Chuhe came in, everyone looked at him, and some took the lead to shake hands with him, which was considered polite.

But everyone doesn't seem to think that Chuhe can make any contribution. Although he is the original creator, he knows nothing about animation. If Xu Dong and Cai Mingsheng hadn't proposed to find Chuhe, everyone would not have specially invited Chuhe.

"Mr. Chu, please sit down. We won't talk too much. Here is a 5-minute animation clip, which is the opening scene of the first episode. Let's see how it goes." Cai Mingsheng was straightforward and asked the staff to play the animation.

The animation was projected directly, and everyone looked up at the screen.

Chu He sat at the side of the conference table and watched seriously.

The content of the first episode of "Poetry and the Sea" is very simple. The heroine Pei Yuening picked up an alien baby who was accidentally washed ashore at the beach. As for the rest of the foreshadowing, they are not the key things.

It was the first time for Chuhe to watch anime seriously. He had occasionally watched young cartoons like bald strong Pleasant Goat on TV before, so he could watch them when he was bored.

The positioning of "Poetry and the Sea" is not young, and it can even be said to be quite serious. The heaviness, despair and hope like a spark in the book are described wonderfully.

It's hard to show it in anime.

Chuhe also understands the difficulties of animation, so he doesn't ask too much, but he still frowns after watching the 5-minute clip.

It's too inconsistent. Even though the trailer was not bad, the main film was completely ruined, revealing its true colors.

It's against harmony since the heroine came out, this character is too strange.

For example, in a war movie, Xiao Xianrou was invited to go to war, and after a night of battle, Xiao Xianrou was actually clean at dawn.

This is the first impression that the cartoon "Poetry and the Sea" gave Chuhe.

The audience is not a fool, even if they don't know the animation industry, they can tell whether it is good or not.

"What do you think of Mr. Chu?" Xu Dong asked, not expecting it, he himself thought it was not good-looking.

Chu He shook his head: "I'm not interested in watching it at all. I don't have the feeling of "Poetry and the Sea" at all. It's like a group of people performing a puppet show. The characters follow the plot and keep walking in vain."

This evaluation is quite low, and Chu He is merciless.

Several people present became embarrassed. They were in charge of producing the film and put in a lot of effort, but they were demoted to nothing by Chuhe.

But more people still agree with Chuhe's statement.

A gentleman in his thirties said: "I think the production department has made a mistake and made "Poetry and the Sea" as an idol drama. The characters are very good-looking, and it can be seen that they have put their heart into it. The wind is too Japanese."

"Yeah, I'm just saying that it feels weird, it's too Japanese-like, and it's the kind of youthful anime, the protagonist is a high school student who has nothing but gentleness." Another person also interjected.

The meeting room immediately became hot, and everyone said that the style of painting was not good, and it was too imitative of Japanese comics.

In fact, many Chinese comics now have traces of imitating Japanese comics, taking the essence and applying them, but "Poetry and the Sea" cannot imitate Japanese comics, and it is not a brain wave at all.

Chuhe's sense of disobedience also comes from this.

In fact, his sense of disobedience is not only the painting style, but also the dubbing.

"The dubbing is also weird, it doesn't fit the style of the book, so we have to ask for a new dubbing." Chu He made another comment.

The dubbing of animation is an extremely critical part. If the dubbing is not good, the audience can play every minute.

"We have already invited the top two-dimensional voice actors in China. This time the dubbing is in charge of the Magic City Qingquan Studio. Their voice actors are quite famous in the domestic animation industry. The protagonist, Ke Er, is a popular voice actor, and has acted in many well-known Chinese comics." A man in a suit who had been silent all this time said that he was in charge of the dubbing part.

"I don't think the two-dimensional style of dubbing is suitable for "Poetry and the Sea". I'm not prejudiced, I just don't think it's suitable." To those who rush to the street.

"Mr. Chu doesn't understand the animation industry, so it's too arbitrary to look at the problem from outsiders' eyes." The man in the suit was obviously straight-minded, and he pissed off Chuhe.

Xu Dong hurriedly said: "Deng Hong, discuss it carefully."

Deng Hong remained silent again.

The atmosphere is a bit stiff, many people admit that there are problems with the animation, but it seems that they don't want Chuhe to point out the country here, he is always an outsider.

Chuhe is not a fool, so he naturally felt some people's rejection of him.

He finally said: "Most of my fans are girls in their 20s, and the readers of China Literature are generally over 20 years old. I think Japanese manga style may not attract them. You put the "Poetry and the Sea" The positioning is made into Two-dimensional, probably to attract fans of Two-dimensional animation, I think it is picking sesame seeds and losing watermelons.”
