My Animation Era

  Chapter 127 Animators of the older generation (for subscription)

  The animation Dragon Fighter continues to be popular.

  In the subsequent episodes, Xiaodu takes Master Shibalagu as his teacher and studies swordsmanship seriously. The twenty-five-year-old birdman "Heijian" driving the Kongshen appeared on the stage, constantly causing troubles for Xiaodu and others...

  Xiaodu also experienced a lot of hardships, and finally came to the city of the sky, defeated all kinds of powerful enemies, blew the flute of the gods, and restored the first layer of Chuangjieshan to its original state.

  Just as Xiaodu was heading towards the Second Realm, there was an episode in the animation.

  Flute of God!

  In the animation, the soundtrack of Xiaodu blowing the flute of the gods is actually the music played by the animation director, Gu Miao himself.

   It turned out to be embarrassing!

  After the animation was broadcast, this soundtrack became the focus of complaints from countless viewers and netizens. I think the soundtrack is really spicy, it sounds like noise.

  Gu Miao couldn't hold back at that time.

  He drove the trumpet to argue with netizens. This was not the problem of the performer, but the "recording equipment" at that time was not good, so the sound of the flute sounded a little noisy.

   It's all about the equipment!

   But his explanation was not recognized. Everyone agreed that this soundtrack seriously lowered the animation quality.

   "Awkward, right?!"

  Gu Miao cursed and stopped playing the trumpet. She logged into her own trumpet on the spot and said, "I didn't think about this link at the time, and no one in the production team knew how to play the flute. Is there a problem if I do it myself?"

  Can you blame him too?

  He said that he was tone deaf, but no one in the production team knew how to play the flute at the time, anyway, so he just found someone to make do with it.

  How do you know, this can also be hacked?

  Actually, to be honest, the sound of the flute that Gu Miao played was really not that irritating to the ears. It was just that the recording equipment at that time was not good enough and it was a bit noisy.

   "Re-record it!"

   It was hard for Gu Miao to accept being harshly criticized by so many people.

  Since everyone doesn't like it, let's record a new version and replace the original file. It happened to be a change of recording equipment, so that the audience could appreciate Gu Miao's beautiful flute sound.

  He didn't believe it.

  Singing is really not good, but how difficult can it be to play the flute? As long as the equipment is in place, one million tuners will come, how can this be complained about?

   There is one thing I have to say.

  Wanbao Animation has released all the animation works so far, the opening and ending songs are actually quite popular.

  Especially the theme songs such as "Don't Look I'm Just a Sheep", "Lightning Crossing the Line" and "Pigman", almost everyone can sing a few lines.

   But in the "Interlude Soundtrack" section...

   To be honest, Wanbao is really not good at it!

  The theme song and the ending song can be outsourced, and the quality is relatively guaranteed, but the soundtrack for the episode is usually done by the animation company itself, and the standard is relatively low.

  This time it's a problem with the equipment, and it has nothing to do with Mr. Gu.

   But next time?

  The next time the soundtrack is complained about, can you continue to blame the equipment?

  Gu Miao attaches great importance to this issue.

  After the "Flute of the Gods" happened, he asked Ma Kui to contact a local animation soundtrack master in Jiangchuan, hoping to invite him to join Wanbao to make up for this shortcoming.

   But this master has a weird temper!

  Although I am unemployed at home, I don’t have any formal job. But he is not a man short of money, he takes care of flowers and plants every day, goes fishing and plays cards from time to time, and dismisses Wanbao's invitation.

   Ma Kui paid a visit.

   As a result, he didn't even enter the door. He only found out after asking the neighbors. The master probably guessed that Ma Kui was coming to harass him, so he ran back to his hometown in the countryside for vacation.

   "It's too difficult to ask!"

  After Ma Kui returned to the company, he said with a displeased face: "Calling him shows that the phone is turned off. Go and find him. He is avoiding me on purpose."

  He got a little angry when he did this.

   There are still quite a few talented people in China when it comes to film and television animation soundtracks. Does this old guy really think of himself as an indispensable big shot?

   If it really doesn’t work, then change someone!

  Ma Kui thought so, thinking that this person was too difficult to hire, so he simply changed his goal and hired another suitable soundtrack master.

   "Let me try it."

  Gu Miao still didn't want to give up.

  Wanbao really needs to strengthen the soundtrack, and it just so happens that Jiangchuan has such a soundtrack master who is "unemployed at home", how can he miss it?

   Don't value money?

   Then use attitude to influence!

   As a native of Jiangchuan, Gu Miao felt that she could use her identity as a "villager" to communicate with him and make a picture of him.

  What cake to draw?

  Of course he was invited to create the myth of "Jiangchuan Animation" and create a world-class animation company that is the strongest in the industry.

  Of course, slogans alone are definitely not enough!

  Gu Miao is still very sincere, at least willing to give a salary that is considered a "high salary" in the industry, as well as the trust to build a professional soundtrack team.

simply put.

  As long as the master is willing to join Wanbao, Gu Miao can give him permission to form a professional soundtrack and interlude team according to his needs.

   It's a big stage!

  Ordinary animation companies, such as Feiyang Animation, would never be able to spend so much money on soundtrack episodes.

  Wanbao is willing to pay the money...

   I have to say, this is a very tempting proposition. When Gu Miao repeatedly stated that Wanbao wanted to become a "world-class" animation company, the master surnamed Cao was moved.

   "You really think so?"

   "It's true!"

  Gu Miao nodded and said: "Wanbao is already a top-notch animation company in China, but the animation industry in our country is really too weak."

   Be world-class if you want to do it!

   You can only be the king in the country, which is of no avail. Since you choose to devote yourself to the animation industry, Gu Miao definitely wants to be on top of the world.

   "Good! Young people have ambition!"

  Master Cao said gratifiedly: "Since you don't want to show off, you want to go abroad and hit the top of the world, and you don't dislike me, an old man, then why should I refuse?"

Great!

   Gu Miao, who had finally settled a matter of concern, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Alright, since you have always agreed, let's talk about the specific treatment..."

   "There's no need to talk about it."

  Master Cao waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. It's useless to have so much money at my age. Give me a salary of one yuan, and save the rest to make animations!"

Uh?

  Gu Miao was stunned at that moment.

  Frankly, he was ready to bleed. After all, Master Cao has a high status in the industry, how could he be invited without a high salary?

   As a result... a dollar salary?

   "Don't rush to be happy!"

  Master Cao took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "If you disappoint me, I will run away at any time!"

  Mom, isn't this great?

   It was the first time that Gu Miao felt the noble sentiments of the older generation of animators. Gu Miao had to admit that he was indeed moved.

   Originally, I drew a cake casually.

   But when he said this, Gu Miao suddenly felt that even if she tried her best, she had to make the cake.

   Otherwise, how disappointed Master Cao is?

   The older generation of animators is really awe-inspiring. If you are interested, you can go and learn about the early animation stories of Shanghai Meiying Factory
