Peach Blossom
Chapter 609 Peach Blossom
"You want to make animation?" Li Xiuyu raised his eyebrows, "You have quite a bit of money!"
"Hehe, how can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan?" Li Zhuangsheng boasted a little.
The spring nights in Nanjing are very beautiful, with street lights shining lightly on the road, the breeze carrying the fragrance of flowers, and neon lights reflecting the shadows of the sycamore trees on both sides of the road. Pedestrians strolled leisurely, laughing and talking, and vehicles drove slowly, with light and darkness interweaving.
Li Xiuyu was silent the whole time, and did not interrupt the conversation. She has always been like this, never really disturbing Li Zhuangsheng, and never embarrassing Li Zhuangsheng in front of outsiders. When there are many people around, her personality has always been "Li Zhuangsheng's beautiful and sensible sister."
Although she disagreed with the "grand blueprint" described by Li Zhuangsheng.
"Are you really going to make an animation?" Li Xiuyu clicked his tongue.
"Yes, I'll give you half of the money when I make it!" Li Zhuangsheng made a grand promise to Li Xiuyu.
“Can it really make money?”
"Ahem, I think it's uncertain..." Li Zhuangsheng coughed twice and confessed in a low voice.
According to his understanding of the development of animation, 3D feature-length animation will be the mainstream in China in the future. Although there are some excellent works in 2D animation, short animations without a storyline may be difficult to make back. Moreover, the poetry animation he wants to make has another disadvantage, which is that it is difficult to create a fixed IP with great commercial value.
There were no successful cases before and after to refer to, so although Li Zhuangsheng talked eloquently in front of Bai and Qian, he was prepared for all losses.
"Then what are you talking about?" Li Xiuyu said angrily.
"Don't be so cheesy, we are doing something very meaningful!"
"What's the point? Only an idiot like you would do such a thing." Li Xiuyu snorted, "Just do it. You'll regret it when you lose all your money!"
Although she complained like this, Li Xiuyu did not stop Li Zhuangsheng's idea. Seeing Li Zhuangsheng's beaming face, she knew that this was what he really wanted. Poetry animation was very much in line with Li Zhuangsheng's personal preferences.
If he wants to do it, why stop him?
It's a loss, so be it. Anyway, she studied computer science, and the income will be enough to support one more person in the future.
"The country is advocating mass innovation and entrepreneurship! I am responding to the country's call that college students should start their own businesses!" Li Zhuangsheng said righteously.
"You are too conscientious. You are not suitable for starting a business."
"It's okay, I'll ask you to be the second boss then!"
Li Xiuyu's eyes narrowed and he kicked him: "Are you saying that I have no conscience?"
Li Zhuangsheng laughed out loud: "I didn't say that, you said that yourself!"
The two of them were strolling and laughing on the street, and Li Zhuangsheng recalled that in his previous life, he and Li Xiuyu often appeared on the streets of Nanjing like this. At that time, his monthly royalties were only a few thousand yuan, but he was quite happy.
After returning home, Li Zhuangsheng washed up. He and Qian Feishu had already made an appointment to visit his major teacher together the next day.
Although he was prepared for losses, he had at least read the Art of War and had to do the preliminary calculations.
He was a little worried, wondering if a few college students and an inexperienced time traveler like him could make an animation without any successful cases. But then he thought, weren't the three giants of MiHoYo also college students at the beginning? Besides, if there were really successful cases of poetry animation, there would be no need for him to do it.
If you are going to do something, do something that no one has done before.
Li Xiuyu finished taking a shower and returned to the room.
"You don't have to go tomorrow, I can go alone." Li Zhuangsheng said.
"Yeah." Li Xiuyu nodded, "I still have things to do tomorrow, so you should go to bed early tonight."
Li Zhuangsheng would not be polite to her, and would definitely speak up if he needed her.
"I'll fall asleep soon." Li Zhuangsheng was looking up information related to animation production.
Li Xiuyu lay down on the bed and got into his own bed. I don't know when Li Zhuangsheng started to resist sleeping in the same bed with Qian Feishu. He said he couldn't stretch out. But they both knew the reason. The next day, Li Zhuangsheng rode his electric bike to meet Qian Feishu and bought some souvenirs on the way.
He felt more and more like he was being forced into something, even though he hadn't made up his mind to do it right away. But it didn't matter, it was better to do it sooner rather than later. He was going to do it anyway, and Hu Mengdie had been running around for him, so he couldn't just turn down her kindness.
Li Zhuangsheng and Qian Feishu met up, and Hu Mengdie was there too. Li Zhuangsheng didn't think much about it, because with Hu Mengdie as the middleman, he and Qian Feishu could get along more naturally.
The teacher they were going to visit was named Lu. Since Qian Feishu had been in contact with Teacher Lu before, the three of them met each other smoothly.
After hearing about Li Zhuangsheng's purpose and "financial resources", Teacher Lu became very kind and answered many of Li Zhuangsheng's questions. He also took the initiative to remind Li Zhuangsheng what preparations he needed to make, what equipment he needed, and what pitfalls to avoid.
Finally, Teacher Lu also provided Li Zhuangsheng with the contact information of several former students, and gave a brief introduction to their specialties and work experience. He also said that two of them were interested in returning to Nanjing for development.
After parting with Teacher Lu, Li Zhuangsheng felt that he had gained a lot and was grateful profusely. He thought that he must prepare more gifts for the next visit.
"I'll go rent a house, buy equipment, and go through the paperwork in the next few days. Once everything is done, you can come back and think about it."
Li Zhuangsheng smiled and said to Qian Feishu that he understood the other party's concerns and did not want to make things difficult for him.
"Okay, let me know when the house is rented, and feel free to come find me if you need any help!"
Qian Feishu nodded heavily. He had already accepted Li Zhuangsheng's invitation. As long as Li Zhuangsheng could really set up a studio, he would be happy to join.
After inviting Qian Feishu to have lunch, Qian Feishu returned to school, but Hu Mengdie did not follow him.
"Thank you so much for this!"
Li Zhuangsheng sincerely thanked Hu Mengdie. Hu Mengdie really helped him so much, which made him extremely puzzled and moved.
"It's okay, we're just friends, just a small favor." Hu Mengdie smiled and waved her hand.
Friends? Just friends? Li Zhuangsheng sighed inwardly, not daring to expose it.
"It's not just a small favor, I don't know how to repay you!"
"If you really want to repay me, then I have something to ask of you."
"No problem, as long as I can do it, I will complete it!"
"The weather is so nice today, I want to go out for a walk." Hu Mengdie put her hands behind her back and smiled sweetly, revealing a little playfulness. "I heard that the peach blossoms in Xiaotaoyuan are blooming. I want to go and see them, but I'm still short of a photographer. I wonder if classmate Li Zhuangsheng is free this afternoon?"
"You mean the one in Shimonoseki?"
"Yes..." Hu Mengdie nodded slightly, and suddenly remembered something, and smiled and changed the subject, "Oh, you are from the second dimension, so you should like cherry blossoms more, right? Then how about we go to Jiming Temple?"
"We can go to Xiaotaoyuan..." Li Zhuangsheng shook his head quickly, and suddenly remembered that he told Hu Mengdie that he wanted to go to Jiming Temple to see the cherry blossoms.
Could it be that Hu Mengdie made such a suggestion because of his "two-dimensional" identity?
Although Li Zhuangsheng did talk about the "cherry" dispute, he did not reveal how much he liked peach blossoms, but just said that he did not like the current situation of cherry blossoms being rampant. In fact, Li Zhuangsheng was a homebody and a layman, and he really had no feelings about things like spring outings to enjoy flowers.
Li Zhuangsheng was slightly stunned and fell into self-doubt.
Of course not, I was just trying to make up for it. Hu Mengdie looked at Li Zhuangsheng's changing eyes and smiled.
She always knew that Li Zhuangsheng liked peach blossoms more. After all, Li Zhuangsheng was so unhappy about the current situation in China where cherry blossoms overwhelmed peach blossoms. He looked so heartbroken, like a child sulking.
It's just that she thinks cherry blossoms are more beautiful and romantic, and wants to go with Li Zhuangsheng. Of course, with Li Zhuangsheng's narrow-mindedness, he must have kept this in mind, and I don't know how many times he has secretly brought up the old account.
"Then let's go to the Little Peach Garden!" Hu Mengdie smiled, "I actually like peach blossoms very much, especially Tang Bohu's "Song of Peach Blossom Cottage."
