Chapter 334: Drive Away the Original Work (Please Subscribe)
The time has come for August.
After finishing her family work, Gu Miao is preparing to return to the project team of the movie "Snake Comes Around" and continues to hold back her big move.
As a result, something happened to Director Wang on the first day he returned to the company.
Wanbao Animation, Wolfsburg Studio.
Within the project team of the animation "The Little Master of China", director Wang and the screenwriter had a quarrel due to some disagreements and disputes over plot arrangements.
The two sides were very unhappy.
Because of their status within the production team, it was not easy for everyone to break up the fight, so they could only call people and ask higher-level leaders of the company to persuade them to make peace.
So, Gu Miao came.
"What's going on? Someone come and explain to me. If you don't work hard, why are you being so petty?"
After arriving at the scene, Gu Miao was confused and said: "Who quarreled with whom? Why the quarrel? Why is no one talking?"
"Mr. Gu, it's like this..."
Director Wang, as a client, complained immediately when he saw Mr. Gu arrive: "I told him that his plot was very unreasonable. I asked him to change it according to my request, but he said I was not qualified."
"You are not qualified in the first place!"
The screenwriter of this work and the original author of the comic frowned and said: "You don't respect my work, let alone me as the original author. What qualifications do you have to point your fingers at me?"
Fine!
Even though Gu Miao came, the two of them still quarreled regardless.
Listening to the quarrel between the two, combined with the discussions of the surrounding employees, Gu Miao finally understood the course and development of the matter.
What's the problem?
The fault lies with the screenwriter, who is the original author of the comic "Master Chef Liu Pleiades", the guy who was eventually warned by Gu Miao for "repeatedly jumping sideways".
Director Wang is an animation director.
He was ordered to adapt the work "Master Chef Liu Pleiades" and transform it into a qualified commercial animation.
In this process, he will definitely cut and adapt the original comic according to his own ideas, and it is impossible to completely restore the original plot of the comic.
This is completely understandable.
After all, adaptation and adaptation, as the name suggests, have to be "changed". If not, what does it mean? A moving comic, right?
However, the original author of the comic was very unpopular at Wanbao Animation because of his previous "repeated jumps". Director Wang also looked down on him. He probably heard some "rumours".
Probably because I feel unhappy.
Therefore, he refused to cooperate with Director Wang at work, and even deliberately made things difficult for him. Director Wang initially gave him the honor of being the "original author," but later he simply started criticizing him.
"That's it..."
After understanding the cause of the incident, Gu Miao frowned and called the two of them to the office nearby.
"I already understand the matter."
Gu Miao took a sip of tea, glanced at the guilty original author, and asked calmly: "I don't want to mention the dirty things before, after all, it will be unseemly to settle old scores."
"I just want to know, do you have any resentment in your heart? Do you think we, Wanbao Animation, have treated you badly?"
"No no."
Being stared at by Gu Miao, the original cartoonist quickly waved his hand and denied, "I never thought about it that way. I just have some differences of opinion with Director Wang."
"It better be this way."
Gu Miao didn't care whether the guy's answer was true or false. He patted the table lightly and said, "You are an expert at drawing comics, but you are not a professional animation director."
"I heard that "Master Chef Liu Pleiades" has been discontinued for a long time? Are readers urging you to update it?"
"Well……"
"Let's do this. The readers' calls cannot be ignored. You hurry back and update the comics. As for the animation production team, you can just put your name on it. You don't have to come to work every day."
After deciding where this person should go, Gu Miao didn't care what he thought. She looked at Director Wang and asked, "Do you think this arrangement is appropriate, Director Wang?"
"I have no opinion."
Director Wang breathed a sigh of relief and finally drove this disgusting guy out of the production team.
Although he is still a member of the animation production team, he is only in name only. As we all know, the original author's name is just a means to appease fans of the original work.
Director Wang felt that this arrangement was very reasonable by letting him keep his name and not cause trouble for himself or even interfere with the normal production progress of the animation.
If this guy is not the original author of the comic, let alone his name, Director Wang will lose even if he takes one look at him.
"Mr. Gu, it's rare for you to come here. Why don't you let me show you the progress of our work during this period?"
"Can!"
The two talked to themselves, completely ignoring the original author beside them.
Seeing Director Wang and Gu Miao walk out of the office without even mentioning him, the original author of the "Master Chef Liu Pleiades" comic couldn't help but clench his hands and show a look of resentment.
"Is nothing going to happen?"
"Won't!"
Hearing this, Gu Miao shook her head and said, "If he is a smart person, he should keep this kind of thing in his heart."
"Speaking out will only make my reputation worse, and even offend Wanbao. No matter how you look at it, it's not worth it."
"What if he really tells it?"
"Let him say it!"
Gu Miao said indifferently: "Original author of the comic? Haha! The copyright has been sold. What qualifications does he, the original author, have to point fingers at us?"
Does anyone really think that the original author of the comic has a strong say and can even influence the animation production team?
Absolutely hilarious!
You don’t understand the principle of handing over the money and delivering the goods, right? Whoever owns the copyright has the right to speak!
Original author?
These three words can only prove that this work was once yours, once! But it's not yours now!
Gu Miao is not a mean person.
If it were anyone else, he probably wouldn't be so ruthless.
But let alone this hanging man jumping sideways repeatedly, he still stumbles the animation production team and plays off the authority of the original author. Who can bear this?
Do you really take yourself seriously?
If he had the ability, he would break the news and let everyone criticize Gu Sanshui, an unscrupulous capitalist!
The question is, does he dare?
Gu Miao didn't think that this shameless person dared to tell what happened today and throw dirty water on him and Director Wang.
Because if they speak out, Wanbao and Gu Miao will have basically no impact other than receiving insults from some fans of the original work. On the other hand, he himself would probably have a hard time making a living in the future.
Is Gu Miao afraid of being scolded?
Wanbao's four maggot brothers, which one has not fully developed his ability to withstand stress? How much fighting power can a mere fan of the original novel have?
That's the end of the matter.
After driving the culprit out of the animation production team, Gu Miao, under the leadership of Director Wang, briefly visited the animation production of "The Little Master of China".
All I can say is, it’s okay!
Director Wang is indeed very motivated after returning to his position as "animation director". The animation is not only highly completed, but the production progress is also very gratifying.
Not surprisingly.
In September and October of this year, the animation "The Little Master of China" was completed and submitted for review and ready for broadcast.
Watching food animations during the back-to-school season?
Well!
Gu Miao scratched her head and suddenly felt that these two words seemed to have a "weird" feeling when paired together?
Is summer the peak season for electricity consumption? Why does our power supply have problems every now and then...
