Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness-Chapter 739 - 736 Sample

After exchanging simple pleasantries, Bi Fang asked, "Are you going out now?"

Bran nodded, "Yes, Morgan will take care of you, while I'm going to receive Étienne."

"Étienne? He's coming too?"

"We sent him an invitation as well, after all, it's a dual lead movie. They should be getting off the plane soon, if you don't mind, Morgan can take you on a tour of our studio first, and we'll take a look at the sample reel when everyone has arrived."

"There's already a sample reel?" Bi Fang was surprised, he had thought they were just here to take a simple look at character designs and the plot, but to his surprise, Disney worked so fast?

"Of course, we are professionals in animated movies."

Knowing that an old friend was on his way made the journey seem much more relaxed.

Morgan also introduced most aspects of the studio, giving Bi Fang and Yao Jun an eye-opening experience, deeply understanding the inner workings of the world's number one animation production company.

The production of an animated movie is generally divided into five stages; the first stage is project initiation.

From finalizing the script, attracting investment, selecting the team, to obtaining permissions, these are the contents of the first stage.

As it's adapted from a real case and is quite adaptable, it's not difficult to adjust the script with just some changes to the backgrounds and characters.

As for investment and team selection, there's no need to worry. With world-leading quality, there are plenty of people willing to throw their money at the company, rather the investors must consider if they are themselves qualified, so things progress swiftly.

The second phase is the early creative stage, mainly divided into four parts: creative decision, art design, recording, and storyboarding. This is approximately creating what each person looks like and some fixed actions, which is what Morgan and his team have been doing recently.

The next step is the main body of movie production, also known as the third stage, which involves creating the animation.

The fourth stage comprises coloring, subtitles, and dubbing, which can be completed in just a month or two.

The fifth stage, quite evidently, is the final marketing and distribution.

"So the production process of this movie is very fast, already in the later stage of the mid-production phase, most of the movie scenes can now be presented, and there is even a sample reel available. Of course, we need to sign a confidentiality agreement before watching it."

Morgan handed over two contracts, which were only one page each, with very simple content, stating that the two of them could not spoil or record anything about the movie sample reel after watching it.

In short, they could not let others know about the content.

This kind of confidentiality agreement appears in many places. After signing it routinely, Morgan led them into a small screening room, but they didn't start the screening immediately, instead waiting together for Étienne's arrival.

About fifteen minutes later, a familiar figure appeared in front of everyone, it was Elvan and his son Étienne, following behind Bran!

"Professor Elvan, long time no see."

"Bi! It's been a long time, I saw your Arctic trip, it's amazing how it reflects the human survival instinct. What's your next destination? I feel there is no environment on Earth that can challenge you anymore, is it the Mariana Trench?"

"I haven't decided yet. One hundred days is too long, I want to rest for a while now, maybe it will be the Mariana Trench?"

Étienne patted Bi Fang on the shoulder, "Hey, what about me! Bi! Are you pretending not to see me?"

Only then did Bi Fang shift his gaze, sizing him up and down, he raised an eyebrow, "Étienne, have you grown taller again?"

The journey of Goose had just begun when Étienne was about one meter seventy, perhaps even slightly less, still retaining some youthful features; but now, he definitely appeared to have surpassed one meter seventy-five, his youthfulness transitioning towards a more mature demeanor.

He just seemed a bit thinner.

Last year, when he visited inside the Arctic Circle to see the Goose, I had seen him, but the changes weren't too noticeable, and I hadn't paid much attention. Now, after half a year has passed, the changes have become quite obvious.

Étienne laughed heartily, clearly very pleased with his growth. He had also started working out recently, aiming to sculpt his body to be like that of Bi Fang's, a sight that would surely make the girls in school scream.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started!"

Morgan saw that the exchange between the two sides was just about done and proceeded to operate the equipment in the screening room.

Everyone was seated in the mini-theater, the surrounding lights all turned off. Soon, the screen lit up, a familiar logo appeared, capturing everyone's attention.

Since it was only a hastily assembled rough cut, the entire movie wasn't complete, lasting only sixty minutes and lacking both subtitles and voiceovers. It resembled a silent film, and even the storyline wasn't very clear. Nonetheless, many elements could still be discerned, such as the transformation of identities.

To turn it into a complete story, it was evident that the identities of the characters needed some alteration.

Thoughts paused as the film finally began to unfold on the screen.

A clump of tall grass appeared on the screen, the image seemingly still, but soon a massive hoof came crashing down, creating a deep depression in the ground.

The camera panned upwards, revealing a gigantic stag with antlers, as well as... the Hunter behind it.

"Hey, it's Bi Fang!"

Étienne lowered his voice, but since there was no sound in the movie, and the small theater was very quiet, everyone still heard him. Just from that image alone, everyone knew who the Hunter was.

Aside from the striking resemblance, the attire of the Hunter also looked the part of a wilderness expert, donned in a camouflage adventure suit, with sturdy dark green boots on his feet, his sleeves rolled up to reveal his robust forearms and a spear in hand.

Everyone knew what was about to happen next.

This was a Hunt.

Bi Fang felt that if this were the final cut, there would definitely be an exhilarating soundtrack at this point.

"Bi Fang" on the screen leapt up and charged at the stag. After an intense struggle, the stag was eventually downed.

The camerawork was very smooth; the whole Hunt, clearly tense and dangerous, was executed effortlessly by the one hunting, denoting incredible strength and skill, a Hunter of superior capability.

Next, the scene changed to Bi Fang shouldering the stag, selling it to a pub owner, surrounded by patrons all erupting in admiration.

Clearly, the Bi Fang in the movie was no longer a broadcaster primarily focused on adventure but a Hunter, one who makes a living by Hunting.

These were two disjointed mini-stories, indicating something seemed missing in-between.

After a brief blackout, a new character appeared: a middle-aged man, wearing a little red cap, draped with a torn rag, his face exaggerated, showing a worn-down look but at the same time exuding a sense of earnestness.

This time, everyone chuckled softly, only Elvan's face slightly fell, but he did not take his somewhat comical image on the screen too seriously.
