This celebrity is overly enthusiastic!

Chapter 9 The Client's Pressure

"I'm sorry, Director Chang, I'm sorry everyone, I got excited."

Although Chen Yuan was apologizing, everyone could see the anger on his face.

"Guys, what is our project? It's a movie, a movie, a fucking animated movie! Not an animated film, OK?"
Every shot and every frame edited in the film has a specific purpose; it's not for you to showcase your talents!

He picked up the remote, rewound the projector image, paused it, and pointed at the screen, saying:

"I know that the comrades at the Shanghai Fine Arts Factory are all highly accomplished in art, and their landscape paintings are very artistic, but could you please not be so artistic!"

Here, Po and Master are rolling down the slope. If this were a movie shot, the focus would be on them, and the background would be blurred.

And could you tell me which planet they're on? The moon? Why are they rolling down so slowly, so 'lightly'? It doesn't defy the laws of physics at all!

The fight between the two was so weak, I couldn't feel any strength at all. The stick hitting A Bao was like hitting cotton!
At least add some jitter, add a white flash!

"You guys were supposed to be learning from Disney, right? What have you actually learned?!"

Chen Yuan watched the short film produced by Shanghai Animation Film Studio from beginning to end several times and criticized it as utterly worthless!
At first, Director Chang felt very ashamed and indignant. How could he not have any dignity after being scolded like this by such a young upstart?
But as I listened with a forced smile, I realized that the differences between Chen Yuan and himself, and between him and the Shanghai Animation Film Studio, in terms of creative concepts were not ordinary!
Chen Yuan imagined himself making a movie, with the camera setup and direction completely mimicking real filmmaking, while he and others were still using the traditional animation conception and composition.

Although I'm still a little unconvinced, they're the client now, and what they said does make some sense.

He held down the hand of Xiao Xu, the project manager of "Kung Fu Panda," who was so agitated he looked like he was about to explode, and listened intently to Chen Yuan's analysis and creative philosophy, despite the burning sensation on his face.

He sprayed for a full half hour, until Chen Yuan's mouth was parched, before he stopped and drank a large glass of water in one gulp.

"I'm sorry, factory manager, I got agitated just now. We had a lot of disagreements before, and it was my fault for not communicating well."

He was angry, but he didn't actually show it. He mainly wanted to take this opportunity to put pressure on Shangmei Factory and let them know that the client who paid him was not someone to be fooled.

Chang Guangxi didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.

"Director, the old art style is really no longer suitable for the present. If we continue to be complacent and stagnant, no one can save the art factory."

Chang Guangxi bowed his head deeply and apologized to Chen Yuan, saying, "I am truly sorry for your high regard, Mr. Chen. The factory is indeed rather conservative in its thinking."

However, please rest assured, Mr. Chen, we will definitely listen carefully to your opinions and strictly follow your requirements to complete the task.

Chen Yuan's expression finally softened somewhat, and he comforted Director Chang, whose forehead was covered in sweat:
"You should watch more MGM animated films first, and see how they use exaggeration to convey information."

Also, watch more Japanese anime, learn from their paneling techniques, and carefully observe how they convey a sense of power in their fight scenes.

I'll be going to Shanghai soon to work with my colleagues at the Shanghai Art Museum to resolve any existing conflicts and disagreements!

After the meeting, which started off lightly but ended heavily, ended, Chen Yuan's mood did not recover for a long time.

Fan Binbin made him a cup of coffee, brought it over and handed it to him: "I don't think I've ever seen you get this angry before. Don't be upset, or you'll get a sore throat."

"Kung Fu Panda involves the future development of the metaverse, and I can't let anyone ruin my plans!"

"Yes, yes, yes, my Chen Yuan is the best!"

Chen Yuan looked at Binbin, who was comforting him, and was somewhat speechless. He took a sip of coffee and sighed, "Don't you think this project is promising either?"

"No, it's just that you seem to be working non-stop lately. Be careful not to overwork yourself."

Binbin wrapped herself around Chen Yuan's chair and massaged his shoulders.

Chen Yuan rested his head on Binbin's chest. Although her pectoral muscles weren't as big as his, they were gentle enough to soothe his fatigue.

I picked up the steaming cup of coffee, just about to take a sip, when I looked up and saw a new task appear above Binbin's head. I got so excited that I choked!
"Cough cough cough!" "Be careful, let me pat your back."

Chen Yuan coughed and waved his hand to tell Binbin not to pat his back, while his eyes were fixed on the top of Binbin's head.

[Mission Introduction: Chen Yuan is so handsome, it's a waste for him to be an animated film director. I really want to collaborate with him on a TV series!]

[Mission Objective: The host must collaborate with the target on a television series and satisfy their needs.]

[Task Reward: Flute Playing Mastery]

The task itself wasn't difficult, but it wasn't the right time, and Chen Yuan didn't really need the flute playing skill.

That night, Chen Yuan quickly contacted Binbin and started the lottery.

[System: You have greatly satisfied Fan Binbin. Reward: Wirework Master]

Damn, that's a huge loss!
A wire stunt expert? Haha, I was on wires for over ten years in my past life, even when I died!

Just as Chen Yuan was muttering to himself, his body had already received the system reward, and then he fell silent.

The experts defined by the system were quite different from what Chen Yuan had imagined.

This is not just about the experience that allows Chen Yuan to perform various difficult maneuvers while suspended by wires.
It was also his superb ability to design various feasible wire-work schemes for flying and escaping.

I'm sorry, System Daddy, I misunderstood you!

With his eyes fixed intently on his now limp and powerless goddess of fortune, Chen Yuan had dozens of plans in his mind to tie her up and hang her up!

Unaware of her dangerous situation, Fan Binbin struggled to turn over and leaned against Chen Yuan's chest, continuing their previous conversation.

"Chen Yuan, why did you recommend me to film 'Journey to the West: The Sequel'? I inquired a little, and it seems that their production team doesn't have a lot of money."

Chen Yuan gently patted her back, "You've just made some money and you're already getting greedy, aren't you?"

"You're the one who's obsessed with money. I'm not concerned about the pay, but I'm worried about the quality of the final product if something goes wrong with the production team."

Binbin, you really weren't worried for nothing. Wasn't it precisely because of insufficient funding that "Journey to the West: The Sequel" resorted to bizarrely edited fight scenes to drag out the runtime, which is why it's still talked about by audiences in later generations?

However, the plot was truly bold and creative, and even after ten or twenty years, it is still fresh in the minds of many people. This is why Chen Yuan recommended Binbin to take on the role of the female lead, Bai Lianhua, offered by the production team.

Screenwriter Qian Yanqiu is also a great talent. The "Detective Dee" trilogy and the "Yan Shuangying Universe" were all completed under his pen. I must collaborate with him in the future.

"Director Yang Jie is currently filming 'Journey to the West Sequel,' which should be broadcast next year."

I won't go into how classic "Journey to the West" is. It's obvious that Hong Kong filmmaker Cao Rong's "Journey to the West: The Sequel" is just trying to ride on the popularity of "Journey to the West: The Sequel".

Even if the quality is poor, it's bound to make a splash. You have enough fame now, but that's superficial. You need some widely recognized works to solidify your foundation.

"Alright, you're the boss, so you call the shots. Boss, are you still planning to make your own live-action drama?"

"Don't rush me, Binbin. I promise I'll make you act in movies until you're sick of them."

Fan Binbin smiled and pinched Chen Yuan's nose. "You're just bragging!"

She wasn't in a hurry; she simply wanted to act in a drama with Chen Yuan, preferably a sweet and youthful drama like the Dove commercial they filmed before.
