Wen Ruohan was dumbfounded.
Mist City Arts and Science University, Feiyue Animation Studio.
This was Ding Yue’s second visit to Feiyue Animation Studio, and the atmosphere here was much livelier than the previous time.
That is to say, there were noticeably more people than the last time he visited.
"Principal Ding, what brings you here?"
Xu Jiuge, who was busily engaged in work, asked in surprise upon seeing Principal Ding.
Due to the fact that Xu Jiuge and her team had been working on "Super Combat Team" intensely, she had hardly had a chance to meet with Principal Ding.
The last time they met...
It seems it was the day that Big White was created, right?
"I came to have a look and also to bring you something good. You didn’t tell me, why does our Feiyue Animation Studio seem to have expanded considerably since the last time I visited?"
Ding Yue asked with a smile.
"Hehe, Principal Ding, we have many promising students studying Animation Design and Production at Mist City Arts and Science University. I selected some of them for internships to get hands-on experience. Furthermore, a while ago, there were some issues at Penguin Animation, and many animators left Penguin, some of whom have joined our Feiyue Animation Studio."
So, it turns out that even Penguin Animation, which seems omnipotent domestically, may encounter troubles as well.
Since Penguin Animation entered the scene, the domestic animation industry, which was steadily growing, has been on the brink of extinction.
This company, Penguin...
They’ve disrupted the animation industry, and also want to squash the novel industry. Ding Yue thought, "Penguin, go ahead and screw your business. When Feiyue Animation rises, the animation industry in our country will officially have a new dominant force."
"Okay, just manage Feiyue Animation as you see fit. I’m looking forward to seeing your productions. How’s the progress so far? "
Ding Yue fully trusted Xu Jiuge.
At the very least, she was a girl dedicated to serious animation work and she was a professional.
"Principal Ding, the animation film "Super Combat Team" is currently at about 20% completion. We had many preparatory works to do in the early stage which slowed us down, but we’ve made much progress since then. We’re able to move forward 1-2% every day."
Xu Jiuge immediately reported the production status of the animation film "Super Combat Team" to Principal Ding.
The project "Super Combat Team" had been underway for some time.
Apart from the initial preparation, reaching a progress of 20% reflects the daily diligence of the Feiyue Animation Studio team.
"That’s not bad. So, in little over a month or perhaps two, it should be finished?"
If that’s the case, with an additional month for advertising, they could potentially premiere during this year’s National Holiday Period.
They might not catch the summer release window, but making it for the National Holiday Period would be quite good too.
If they unfortunately miss the National Holiday Period, then it’s either New Year’s Day or the Spring Festival Period.
If it comes to that, Ding Yue will definitely choose the Spring Festival Period.
After all, the movie box office during the Spring Festival Period is substantial.
"Yes, Principal Ding, while producing "Super Combat Team," we can also turn it into a model for our Animation Design and Production students to learn from."
Xu Jiuge said with a smile.
As Xu Jiuge and her team were not only members of the Feiyue Animation Studio but also teachers at the Mist City Arts and Science University’s Animation Design and Production program, they had perfectly combined these roles to facilitate film production and student education simultaneously.
Ding Yue nodded in satisfaction, "Big White has been very popular recently, if the production of the movie goes well, Big White should still be trending during the National Holiday Period. By then, with concurrent advertising efforts, I believe it should achieve pretty good results."
"Yes, it will definitely succeed!"
Xu Jiuge wasn’t very clear about slotting and advertising and such, but she knew this for certain: her team at Feiyue Animation had to make a success of "Super Combat Team."
Ding Yue had Xu Jiuge show him the 20% of the work that had been completed, which was indeed based on the script provided by Ding Yue.
Overall, Ding Yue was quite satisfied with the texture and everything that gave him a strong sense of familiarity, the only difference was the scenario. Ding Yue had set the city model of the story as Mist City, which was different from the original film. Therefore, the city scene and so on differed a bit from the original film, but this was not a problem at all.
"By the way, Principal Ding, you mentioned that you brought us something good, what is it?"
Xu Jiuge suddenly remembered Principal Ding mentioning a gift.
"Yes, I do have something good."
Only then did Ding Yue remembered what he had in hand: "Look, I had a friend who creates original music compose this: the theme song for the animated movie "Super Combat Team". It can be used for promotional purposes or as an inserted song!"
Ding Yue took out what he was holding and handed it to Xu Jiuge.
"Wow, a theme song! We were just wondering what to do about the theme song a few days ago. After all, a theme song requires a professional musician... "
