Chapter 1311: Chapter 1095: I Am the Shadow

Lin Yuan chose the robot Wally, and the movie starring the robot Wally is called “WALL-E”.

Why choose this one?

The first reason is the ubiquitous science fiction elements in the movie!

This year, with Wei Continent joining the merger, sci-fi novels, which already had a huge market in Wei Continent, began to attract attention from all continents.

Plus Lin Yuan’s own encouragement.

Science fiction has become one of the hottest buzzwords of the moment.

Making a sci-fi movie at this time is in line with the current trend.

Compared to this point.

The second reason is even more crucial:

Because the public’s acclaim for this movie is incredibly explosive!

Shadow’s first foray into animated films must start with an impressive reputation battle!

Once our own reputation is established, the road ahead will become smoother.

If we are talking about acclaim, how many animated films on Earth can match the reputation of “WALL-E”?

This is a masterpiece with a score of 9.3 from 1,150,130 reviewers on Douban!

Although some users on Douban are sometimes rather ‘that’, generally speaking, the platform is still very reference-worthy, not to mention this animated film has also won multiple international awards including the Oscars, Golden Globes, Annie Awards, and Saturn Awards.

Science Fiction + Reputation!

This combination will become Shadow’s opening salvo as it steps into the animation film industry.

Of course, reputation alone is not enough.

The box office performance of this movie is also very strong.

It’s just unknown how much box office Wally can achieve on Blue Star.

After all, Earth’s box office performance can only serve as a reference for Blue Star; the factors affecting box office performance are too numerous, and it wouldn’t be too strange if it were higher or lower than on Earth.

Let’s not worry about these for now.

Since we have set a target, we must do it well.

Lin Yuan officially started writing the script.

With his full concentration on writing, the script was completed without much delay.

That afternoon.

Lin Yuan handed over the script to Jin Mu:

“Start the project.”

“Is the script finished?”

“Yes.”

“How come you do everything so quickly?”

“Wasting time is wasting life.”

“But we haven’t found a director yet on our side!”

After acquiring the animation film company, Jin Mu successfully retained the technical staff, but all the directors left!

Who knew Lin Yuan would be so quick?

He had just recruited a batch of new department leaders and hadn’t even had the chance to find a new director when Lin Yuan finished the script and was urging him to start the project right away.

Lin Yuan: “How long will it take to find a director?”

Jin Mu: “If we only want an average animation director, it might take a few days, but since it’s our first attempt at an animated film, we definitely need a top-notch animation director. However, most top animated film directors are in the hands of the five major animation companies, we need time to scout. How about you wait for a month?”

Lin Yuan: “I can’t wait that long, just find an ordinary director.”

Jin Mu’s expression became serious: “I strongly advise against it, boss. An ordinary director’s capabilities are very limited, and animated films are a real test of a director’s skills. Do we need to rush this much?”

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yuan said:

“No problem, he doesn’t have to be the chief director. Even if his skills are not up to those of a top director, being an assistant director shouldn’t be an issue, right?”

“Then who will be the chief director?”

“What do you think about me?”

Lin Yuan made a suggestion that left Jin Mu astonished.

…

It took Jin Mu a good while to regain his composure and he said in a low voice: “I would rather randomly find an ordinary director from outside, at least to ensure professionalism.”

“I want to give it a try.”

Lin Yuan had just come up with the idea, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt capable!

You should know.

Lin Yuan once self-studied many books with the help of Energy Potion, mostly related to the professions under his three aliases, which included plenty of theoretical knowledge about animation directors.

“I object.”

Jin Mu would not easily doubt Lin Yuan’s abilities, but when it was suggested that he become an animation director, Jin Mu decisively shook his head.

Are you kidding?

You want to be an animation director?

Why not say you’re going to compete in the Bluelympics?

Is this the same as drawing comics, writing novels, or making music?

“That’s the decision!”

Lin Yuan insisted: “I understand better than any director how this film should be shot; what kind of visuals are needed for this film is already simulated in my mind. To me, making an animated film and drawing comics don’t have an essential difference.”

Drawing comics is copying homework.

Animated films are also copying homework.

The only difference is that animated films require technical and theoretical support, and amateurs cannot be in charge of professionals. However, Lin Yuan isn’t worried about this aspect either.

Because he has a wealth of theoretical knowledge.

As for practical operations, like the indispensable character modeling in animated films, naturally, the staff will complete these tasks. They only need to do as Lin Yuan says.

These are things Lin Yuan can’t explain to Jin Mu; he can only forcefully make the decision.

“We can give it a try.”

Jin Mu knew he couldn’t change what Lin Yuan decided, so he softened his stance: “If it doesn’t work out, please don’t force it. Professional work should be left to professionals.”

It’s just a try.

Lin Yuan knows when to back down.

Jin Mu thought optimistically.

Lin Yuan laughed: “Don’t forget, this isn’t my first time making a movie.”

Jin Mu held his forehead: “Of course, I know you are the core screenwriter for live-action films, and being a director for a live-action film isn’t a stretch, but what we’re making is an animated film. There aren’t even actors, it’s a completely different ballgame.”
