233 Afterglow
Hua Jianguo's first call was his old comrade-in-arms. He transferred to Songjiang Art Film Studio together. Ge Xingguo, who has always served as deputy director, has been the deputy director. Although Hua Jianguo knew that Ge Xingguo was the real core of animation, and he was just a name.
Unfortunately, he was disheartened and chose to retire after the reorganization in 2004. Ten years have passed. I wonder if the old guy has lost his skills. Back then, he was an all-round director, proficient in storyboards, compositions, original paintings, and animations.
"Old Ge, what are you here?"
"Lao Hua, why do you have time to call me? Is your son going to get married? Hahaha."
"Go to you, you are so unfair, where did I get my son?"
"It's not me that Xiuqin has been there for so many years, so it's time to find a partner to spend the rest of her life with her."
"I am at this age and I am used to it alone. I feel uncomfortable finding a partner, and I can't compare to your family."
"You don't know how much trouble your descendants are. For a house, the eldest and the youngest started arguing with each other. I beat him with a stick. Now no one dares to say anything."
"It seems that the guy in your hand has not yet fallen behind, and the two strong guys will fight if they say it."
"Hey, you still have a strong guy? One is like a pig, you don't have the strength, you will only gain weight. If you fight like this, you won't blink if you go together."
"That's right, we were both called artillery companies in the army back then."
"Just blow, just your two tricks will scare the layman. I've been beaten to eat shit."
Hua Jianguo was a little embarrassed. This old guy exposed his shortcomings. Why did he talk about so many messes with him? Or did he talk about the serious matter: "Old guy, have you ever thought about coming out again?"
Hearing Hua Jianguo's serious voice across the phone, Mr. Ge knew that his old comrade was not joking. He also put away his laughter and asked, "Go out again? What to do? Is there anyone else in your Songpainting Company?"
"I met someone who said he could help us solve the problem of funding and market publicity, just gather you old guys together."
"Is there such a good thing? Don't be fooled,"
"Lao Wan and Lao Li said the same thing, but this person is really not a liar. He is Xu Xing, the boss of Xingtian Company, now the number one in the animation industry, came to work with us to dubbing."
"Xing Tian? All animation companies have named this kind of name these days? It's really turtle."
"You care whether someone's name is pure or not, and the name is there. Their last animation was directly a island country, and it was very popular there."
"Wow, I have retired for ten years. Is the Chinese comic now so strong? Is it all exported overseas?"
"I promised me that there is no limit on funds or subject matter. We will come as we are happy. We will give it a check of ten million as soon as we say, and it is generous."
"Really?" Ge Xingguo questioned: "It's not that you have hallucinations with Alzheimer's disease, right?"
"Go to your Alzheimer's disease, I'm cured, just say you're here or not."
"Come on, of course I want to join. I watch TV, play cards and brag all day long at home. I'm almost demented with Alzheimer's. I'll just talk to my home and go over." After that, I hung up the phone without waiting for Hua Jianguo to react.
"This old guy is still so impatient." Hua Jianguo smiled and shook his head, and began to broadcast the next person's phone call.
The phone number was called until the evening. One hundred and three people were contacted, some had already gone, and some were sick, but as long as they were still healthy, none of them refused.
Finally, seventy-five people were gathered, the youngest of whom were sixty, and the oldest of whom Wan was almost eighty.
In the 1980s, there were hundreds of painters at Song Film Studio alone, but now, there are only 75 of them left in the Chinese comics industry in the last century.
These people were elites who appeared in the short period of the glorious periods of the Chinese animation in the 1960s and 1980s. They created classics that shocked China and the world like a big fuss, a picturesque country, a tadpole looking for a mother, a strange story about the heavenly books, and other classics that shocked China and the world. Even if the five kings of the King Island Kingdom in the animation industry today have to respectfully call them teacher when they see them.
They are the afterglow of the old era, but they will emit their own light in this new era.
March 18th, this is a very ordinary day, but today's Songjiang looks particularly different. There is a press conference focusing on the world's attention at Songjiang Stadium.
Countless island countries, Europa, and senior practitioners of Big Nuts began to rush to Songjiang, the porcelain country.
"Moses Moses, this is Murakami, what? Toriyama teacher, are you going to take a leave? Why is that?"
"Go to Songjiang? Attend a press conference? If it is not a very important press conference, I hope that teacher, you can consider the islanders who have not seen your comic series, and they will launch a riot."
"What? Do you have to go? If you don't go, you will regret your whole life. Are you so determined? I understand. If the teacher must go, please bring me with me."
The same thing happened more than once. Four of the five heavenly kings of the island country asked for leave, and the remaining one used the manuscript to save it. For authors of this level, the editor could only say good things and flatter them and not dare to say heavy words.
Just as the island audience was wailing, another extremely important figure was exposed and secretly went to Songjiang, the porcelain country.
The island people were shocked to find that they were the gods in the comics world and Cordyceps philosophers who are eighty years old this year.
What exactly happened in the China Kingdom? How did it trigger the journey of so many celebrities?
Some viewers only found the new animation press conference of Xingtian Company. Although Xingtian is amazing, he is still far from the Five Heavenly Kings, let alone the island comic god Cordyceps philosopher.
In addition, Europa and Big Nuts have also rushed to the porcelain country, but their side is still mainly film games, and their status is not the same as that of the island country.
The media in China and the people are also confused. What is the situation?
It turned out that the promotional method that Xu Xing and Jiao Jizhou discussed was an animation conference on the surface of Changgexing. This is also the first animation conference in China. In this conference, there is also an old-age animation conference nested, which is only circulated within the industry.
So the only news that the outside world knows is Xing Tian’s new animation to hold a press conference, and only dozens of reporters have been released. The news media are competing for opportunities to participate. Of course, a small number of media also sneer at it. An animation company is also learning to hold a press conference, which is simply overestimating one's ability.
The people who really participated entered the venue only to find that a group of grandfathers were already sitting in full swing.
"Old Zhang, I'm not dazzled. That Toriyama World teacher is a war-crazy man. How could he be here?"
"You may be more than just dazzled. I actually saw the Cordyceps Philosopher Teacher."
