Chapter 374, "Boonie Bears," is complete.
Chapter 374, "Boonie Bears," is complete.
When Guo Zhenni pushed the door open and came in, Fu Yibai had just hung up the phone with Wang Changtian.
She carried a freshly brewed cup of tea, placed it on the table, and casually removed the cup in front of Fu Yibai, which had already gone cold.
"Mr. Fu, Mr. Li from Xingmeng Animation just called to say that the movie 'Boonie Bears: The Big Adventure' has been completed. Please come down and take a look when you have time."
Fu Yibai paused for a moment as he picked up his teacup.
"Finally finished."
He stood up, took his suit jacket off the hanger, draped it over his arm, and walked towards the door.
Guo Zhenni followed behind him and closed the office door behind her.
Star Dream Animation occupies the entire fourteenth floor.
The elevator doors opened, and Li Mo was already waiting at the door.
"Mr. Fu."
"Mr. Li, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard work, it's not hard work."
Li Mo led Fu Yibai toward the playback room.
The screening room was dimly lit, with a 200-inch projection screen hanging on the wall.
The production team of "Boonie Bears" was already waiting here. When they saw Fu Yibai come in, they stood up to greet him.
"Sit down, everyone sit down."
Fu Yibai sat down in the middle chair, and Li Mo sat next to him, nodding to the technician next to the control panel.
The projection screen lit up, the Star Dream Animation logo flashed by, and the screen switched to the main feature.
The entire 100-minute film was shown in one go.
"The overall completion rate exceeded my expectations."
The humor was well-paced, and the interactions between Xiong Da, Xiong Er, and Bald Qiang had both familiar charm and fresh ideas.
The tension on Li Mo's face finally eased, and he grinned.
"Submit it for review."
Fu Yibai stood up and patted Li Mo on the shoulder.
"I asked Wu Zhen to find a good release date during the summer season."
With the quality of this film, the box office won't be bad.
Li Mo stood up and began to report as he walked.
"We used the original voice cast from the TV series, so the audience already recognizes them."
The theme song was produced with Chen Mo's help; the melody is very catchy.
"We'll have General Manager Zhao coordinate the publicity and distribution."
Fu Yibai walked out of the editing room, stopped in the corridor, and glanced at the posters on the wall.
What projects does Star Dream Animation currently have in store?
Li Mo led him toward the production area.
The open-plan office was full of people. Storyboards were drawn on digital tablets, and model outlines scrolled on computer screens. Several young concept artists were gathered around a table discussing color schemes for the characters.
Li Mo pushed open the door to a small conference room next door, picked up a bound project schedule from the table, and handed it to Fu Yibai.
"The fifth season of 'Boonie Bears' is currently in production, 60% complete, and is expected to be finished this October."
Fu Yibai turned a page.
The table is filled with project names, progress, estimated completion time, and responsible persons.
His gaze lingered on a line of text in the middle of the table.
The second season of "Super Beast Force" is 85% complete and is expected to be finished by the end of April.
"Is 'Super Beast Force' a work of our company?"
Li Mo was stunned for a moment, his expression turning somewhat helpless.
"Mr. Fu, the first season was launched simultaneously on Nebula Video and the Children's Channel last August, and the total number of views across the internet has now exceeded 500 million."
I did submit the report.
Fu Yibai recalled for a moment, and it seemed to be the case.
However, he had too much work to do, and he had to review a lot of documents every day. He couldn't remember when he had reviewed them.
"Well done, keep it up."
Let me see what other projects are available.
Fu Yibai coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment.
He continued reading.
The second half of the table lists projects from the early planning stage, most of which only have provisional names and brief concept descriptions.
His gaze swept over one of the lines and then stopped again.
"Super God Academy" is in the early planning stage and is expected to launch in mid-May.
"This is..."
Li Mo leaned over and took a look.
"This project was not initiated by Star Dream Animation."
"It was General Manager Liu who took the initiative to contact us."
Fu Yibai raised his head.
Li Mo continued, "President Liu came to us with the outline of the world view and character settings of 'League of Legends,' hoping that Xingmeng Animation could make an animated film based on these materials."
He believes that the game's world view can be expanded into a more complete storyline, which would benefit player engagement and the game's cultural export.
I reviewed his outline, and it certainly had potential, so I approved it.
"When did this happen?"
"In early January of this year, you were in Northern Europe filming 'Divas Hit the Road'."
Fu Yibai closed the folder and handed it back to Li Mo.
The office area outside the conference room was still bustling with activity. Several young storyboard artists were discussing a camera chase rhythm with the director, and the whiteboard was covered with stick figures.
In a more distant corner, someone was slumped over a table catching up on sleep, with a half-cold cup of coffee beside them.
"You've worked hard all these years."
Li Mo paused for a moment, then scratched the back of his head and laughed.
"It's all thanks to everyone."
My main project right now is "Boonie Bears"; the other projects are handled by my subordinates.
My job is simply to report on work progress.
Fu Yibai patted him on the shoulder and turned to walk towards the elevator.
Back in the elevator, he didn't press the 28th floor, but pressed the 15th floor directly.
