Cloud Peak Scenery
Chapter 358 Lu Xuan's Hand-Drawn Manuscript
Lu Xuan spent nearly two weeks crafting the screenplay and related storyboards for *Your Name*.
This was considered fast compared to the production of a typical film script.
For an anime screenplay, it was exceptionally fast.
Because anime primarily focuses on the emotions between characters.
Presenting a good anime work to the audience within two hours undoubtedly requires a brilliant script.
This script must be meticulously polished to be considered good.
Because any small detail can cause various problems during character development.
An ordinary anime director would probably only be able to sketch out a rough outline of the animation in two weeks.
But Lu Xuan was different.
He had completely drawn out the anime's screenplay and the film's storyboards.
With this screenplay, even a recent film school graduate could produce an anime film.
When Chen Feiyu set this condition for Lu Xuan, he only wanted Lu Xuan to come up with a general framework for the anime.
After all, he knew that the initial idea of a creator might completely deviate from its original form after multiple stages of production.
All he wanted was for Lu Xuan to show an attitude.
So, when Lu Xuan approached Chen Feiyu, Chen Feiyu was particularly surprised.
Because only two weeks had passed, he couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.
"Could it be that the goal I set was too difficult?"
"Lu Xuan has already given up."
"Alas, what a pity for those good equipment."
"If it were in my hands, and I had a few more years, I could definitely polish a world-class anime film."
Thinking of the equipment Lu Xuan had shown him before, Chen Feiyu's mood became a little low.
But he still suppressed the regret in his heart and asked Lu Xuan with a smile on his face.
"Director Lu, are you planning to give up?"
Lu Xuan said with some surprise.
"Why do you say that?"
"Didn't you ask me to send you the film script within a month?"
"I've already finished the screenplay for this anime film, so isn't that why I'm bringing it to you?"
Looking at Lu Xuan's puzzled look, Chen Feiyu was also a little stunned, and reconfirmed the date.
He discovered that only two weeks had passed.
He said strangely.
"Director Lu, do you mean you finished the screenplay in just two weeks?"
Lu Xuan nodded and said.
"Yes, it's done."
"I'm here to show it to you to see if it meets your standards."
"I think this work should generate a lot of buzz after its release."
"If it's well-produced, breaking the current box office record shouldn't be a problem."
Chen Feiyu pursed his lips and didn't speak.
He felt a little regret in his heart.
Now, according to Lu Xuan's meaning, Lu Xuan had created a film that he believed was perfect in just two weeks.
Then he needed to reassess Lu Xuan's attitude towards making anime films.
But Chen Feiyu was also a little doubtful, because even a layman knew that the production cycle of a film script was very long.
Two weeks would only produce some rough and shoddy films.
Although there were big differences between anime and normal films, Chen Feiyu didn't believe that Lu Xuan didn't know the connection between them.
Lu Xuan looked at Chen Feiyu's somewhat conflicted expression and said with a smile.
"I know what you're struggling with."
"How about this, you can take a look at the film script I gave you."
"Anyway, we've already met here, so you can take a look first, there's no rush."
Chen Feiyu was a little dazed, because Lu Xuan had said these words to him before.
That was their first meeting, and Lu Xuan asked him to take a look at the equipment in Xuan Yao Company before making a decision.
"Could there be a twist?"
When this thought appeared in Chen Feiyu's mind, Chen Feiyu was amused by his own thoughts.
How could anyone create an anime film script in two weeks?
Even a god couldn't create a good script!
But like Lu Xuan said, since he was already here, he might as well take a good look at the film script.
He opened Lu Xuan's computer and began to read it carefully.
After skimming through the plot outline of the entire anime film, Chen Feiyu became a little surprised.
Then he started to read it slowly from the beginning again.
Chen Feiyu thought the story had potential.
After roughly reading it through once, Chen Feiyu still had some doubts in his mind.
But after reading it through completely now, he felt that Lu Xuan's success in film had a reason.
Just relying on this anime film script, he should be able to produce a relatively good anime.
Chen Feiyu clicked on the next page.
The first picture was actually a purely hand-drawn storyboard for the anime film.
Seeing this storyboard, Chen Feiyu's mouth opened wide, and he didn't know what to say.
"This..."
This storyboard was the scene described in the script, where the meteors crossed paths in the sky.
Coupled with the beautiful colors.
Chen Feiyu felt that he had seen a world-class masterpiece.
Leaving aside the time-space encounter in this anime script that made Chen Feiyu's heart flutter.
Just relying on the power displayed by this film storyboard was enough to push an anime film to a very high level.
Chen Feiyu looked up at Lu Xuan in surprise and said.
"Director Lu, did you draw this?"
Lu Xuan calmly took a sip of water and said.
"It took me more than two weeks, which is a bit long."
"Just make do with it for now."
"But I think this story should be very exciting, when you're making the anime, you can consider keeping the whole story."
"If there are any modifications, we can communicate again."
Lu Xuan's words were extremely arrogant.
The implication was that Chen Feiyu had better not make any changes to the anime script he wrote.
But Chen Feiyu didn't find anything wrong with it.
It didn't cause any emotional fluctuations in him, and even produced a feeling of worship.
Now, looking at the anime film storyboard drawn by Lu Xuan, he felt that he could learn some skills in drawing these things from Lu Xuan.
