Chapter 1315: Chapter 1097: It’s Definitely a Publicity Stunt

The speed is extremely fast because Shadow has completed most of the work. Think about it, what is the production process of an animated film?

Script.

Modeling.

Animation.

Scenes.

Special effects.

Color.

Music.

Shadow has already finished the storyboard scripts and character model design, as well as the script, scenes, lighting, color, and music all by himself. What’s left are the difficult parts—animation and special effects!

This is technical stuff.

Although Shadow can’t bypass this technical hurdle, this is not Earth after all. What Blue Star doesn’t lack is technology; it’s all about whether you’re willing to invest the cost.

Shadow is wealthy.

So the technology issue is resolved.

But the actual implementation will inevitably accompany various problems. However, Shadow, the chief director, firmly holds the steering wheel of production!

In the following days.

Heads of each department would come to meet with Shadow wearing a mask, with every department methodically responsible for their own processes.

“This is a draft.”

“This color is too dark.”

“The curvature of Eva’s lips needs to be smaller.”

“The scenes with the spaceship still aren’t majestic enough, zoom out the camera further to bring out that strong sense of technology!”

“Can it be done this way?”

“Just follow this direction.”

“Has Teacher Admirable Fish finished the music score?”

“It’s all done. I’ll send it to you later to listen. The voice acting can be done at Starlight; their equipment is very good. The voice director just needs to go there to handle the coordination.”

“Sorrow.”

“Wally’s eyes still aren’t sad enough, at this moment he has lost Eva, so he is very sad. Wally can only express emotions with these eyes. Let me show you the feeling I’m looking for.”

“Understood!”

Shadow doesn’t need to communicate with the staff; just the heads of each department need to contact him. Now he is the commander, and no one will question his decisions, as no one can find a reason to oppose. It seems as if the animated film should be exactly as he envisions, and everyone just needs to blindly charge forward with him to finish!

At this time.

Jin Mu appeared: “The progress of the animated film is unbelievably fast. I’ve created an official account for Dream Factory to make the promotion more convenient. Help me share and spread the word.”

“Okay.”

Lin Yuan immediately logged onto Shadow’s account and reposted the message about the establishment of Dream Factory’s account.

…

Now is the age of information.

Hot topics on the internet change rapidly.

A month ago, the news that comic artist Shadow intended to become a peer of Admirable Fish and Chu Kuang by transitioning into animated film production sparked discussions all over the net. A month later, hardly anyone mentioned this topic anymore.

Of course.

The lack of ongoing discussions was mainly because everyone understood that for Shadow to produce an animated film, it would take at least a year or a half.

This is how long it takes to produce an animated movie.

And at this moment.

Shadow suddenly retweeted the official account created by Dream Factory, which reignited people’s interest in the matter!

After all, “Doraemon” is still popular!

The more popular “Doraemon”, the more interesting the topic of Shadow becomes, especially since this time Shadow is vying with Chu Kuang and Admirable Fish!

“Chase Shadow?”

“Isn’t that the animation company Shadow is with?”

“I’ve been thinking recently; although many people aren’t optimistic about Shadow, I feel that Shadow God’s talent will surprise many, after all, making animated films is difficult but he doesn’t have to do it personally, just providing the script would suffice.”

“Yes.”

“Shadow’s ability to write stories is indeed very strong; it’s just that he has never created short comics before, which is why people have doubts.”

“I wonder if his animated film has started production?”

“It must have been initiated by now.”

“Just follow this account.”

“If there’s any movement with Shadow’s animated film, this account will definitely update the progress.”

“I’m actually kind of looking forward to Shadow screwing this up, so he can come back and focus on drawing comics. Even Doraemon would be fine!”

“The chances of messing up aren’t high.”

“Maybe the final product will be lukewarm at best, but at least the core audience should be guaranteed.”

…

The account creation for Dream Factory stirred up discussions once again.

Many people curious about Shadow’s first animated movie started following the account.

Netizens rehashed old topics and the discussion was lively.

Just then.

The account suddenly posted an update:

[We are delighted to receive so much attention from netizens and fans. We are excited to announce that our first animated movie, “WALL-E,” produced by Dream Factory, after a lengthy one-month production, has now entered the post-production stage. The soundtrack and voice cast for this animated movie are incredibly impressive. Teacher Shadow has specially invited Teacher Admirable Fish and members of Yu Dynasty to assist. If you’re a fan of theirs too, welcome to join us at the cinemas in October to watch our movie!]

With a swoosh.

The whole comment section went silent.

Some wondered if they had read it wrong.

“What the hell?”

“What kind of international joke is this?”

“It’s already in the post-production stage?”

“And it freaking took a long ‘lengthy’ month?”

“Does your family have some way to fast-forward production to the post-production stage within a month?”

“So this work is called ‘WALL-E’.”

“The music and voice acting are to be done by Admirable Fish and Yu Dynasty?!”

“Is that even the point here?”

“The point is the speed; this is freaking faster than a plane!”

“And it’s set to be released in October?”

“If it’s released in October, doesn’t that mean the thing was only made in two months?”

“Shadow isn’t just making a ten-minute animated short film, is he?”

“Animated shorts can’t be screened in cinemas!”

“This is outrageous!”

“In such a short time, no way do I believe you can make a proper animated movie!”

There are indeed many laymen among the netizens.

However, even the most clueless know that the production cycle for animated films can’t be this short!

There have been shorter ones though.

Over at Zhong Continent, a Master Level animated movie director once made an animated film in half a year.

That’s the fastest-produced animated film in the history of Blue Star!

And that Zhong Continent’s Animation Master was affectionately referred to by Blue Star’s audience as “Marksman.”

The industry unanimously believes:

That’s the limit speed for Blue Star’s animated movie production!

Now looking at Shadow’s side.

Done in two months?!?

In such a short time, how is that even possible!

Woosh!

This news spread like wildfire across the entire internet, stunning everyone!

Industry insiders from various continents who understood the animated movie production process were especially shocked, their eyes wide with disbelief!

It’s a joke, right?

So many processes to go through, so many departments to coordinate, so many details to fine-tune, two months of production cycle?

Even if all the staff worked non-stop, without eating or sleeping, it couldn’t be at this speed, could it?

On a plane?

More like on a rocket!

Hype, it’s definitely hype!
