Chapter 122: Chapter 121: The Secretary Can Actually be Used This Way? (7)_1

"Is Principal Ding suggesting our film academy to make a food documentary?"

Zhu Youzhao scratched his head again, asking.

Why does this guy always like to scratch his head?

Actually, Zhu Youzhao was thinking that since Principal Ding was providing the funding, whatever type of documentary Principal Ding suggested to make, they would make it. They’d take Principal Ding’s advice.

Who else could make decisions for the entire school besides Principal Ding?

"There are too many historical documentaries, and it’s hard to bring any novelties. Animal documentaries, can your film academy really make them better than ’Animal World’?"

Ding Yue analyzed to Zhu Youzhao: "As for food documentaries, I checked and there’s basically no good food documentary works in the domestic market. I have a suggestion, Director Zhu, what do you think?"

"Please go ahead, Principal Ding."

Zhu Youzhao wouldn’t dare to not take advice.

Whatever you say, Principal Ding, we will film it the way you want it.

"Look, our Xia Country has a five-thousand-year history, and its cuisine culture is very rich. The cuisine culture in different regions is even stronger. What if we make a food documentary covering the whole country, from south to north, from east to west, to share the cuisine of Xia Country with the audience? What do you think, Director Zhu?"

Hearing Principal Ding’s words, Zhu Youzhao suddenly felt it made a lot of sense.

Indeed, there is no outstanding food documentary in the domestic market. This might be a good direction to explore.

"I think your direction, Principal Ding, is quite good. We currently don’t have any decent documentary programs in the food area, so we might as well give it a try."

Zhu Youzhao quickly nodded and responded.

Seeing Zhu Youzhao seems to agree with his suggestion, Ding Yue is now looking forward to seeing what kind of ’A Bite of Xia Country’ their film academy of Mist City Arts and Science University can make.

"Very well, I’ve even come up with a name for the documentary, it’s called ’A Bite of Xia Country’. You can consider it. What do you think?"

Ding Yue lifted his head, looking at Zhu Youzhao.

"Brilliant~"

Zhu Youzhao didn’t even think before he responded.

Coming back to his senses, Zhu Youzhao thought about the name again.

’A Bite of Xia Country’.

It feels really good. The tip of the tongue is used to taste food, ’A Bite of Xia Country’ means tasting the delicious food from all regions of this vast country.

On point!

Zhu Youzhao, following this name, even figured out the filming direction.

Divide by region, like the Southwest region, Northeast region, Central Area, Northwest border area, Jiangnan Water Town Area, etc.

Just like what Principal Ding just said.

From south to north.

From east to west.

You can also delve into the latitudinal area.

The food in each region definitely has its own taste and characteristics, even the corresponding food culture.

"Principal Ding, thank you for giving our film academy this excellent suggestion," Zhu Youzhao said with immense gratitude.

"Oh, you’re too polite. I’m just an amateur making casual suggestions. You guys should go back and decide on a theme. When it’s done, submit the form to me, and then ask for funding from Director Qi in the Academic Affairs Office," Ding Yue shrugged, said in a relaxing tone.

Verbally, he told Zhu Youzhao to go back and discuss a theme with the students and teachers of the film academy.

But Ding Yue bet that Director Zhu Youzhao has decided on a theme in his heart, and even the name of the documentary has been determined.

"Alright, Principal Ding, I’ll get to it."

Zhu Youzhao was about to leave when

Ding Yue suddenly remembered something else, added the sentence: "If you’re going to make a food documentary, you can collaborate with the Catering and Food Department, their department has an abundance of talents proficient in cooking and evaluating culinary."

Zhu Youzhao felt enlightened by all the tips of Principal Ding,

It’s like an outburst of inspiration.

"I understood, Principal Ding. I’ll go back and start preparing." Zhu Youzhao was already eager to go back, prepare the shooting plan, select iexcellent students and professors, forming a shoot crew.

Then he would contact the Catering and Food Department to collaborate.

As soon as the school approved for the funding, the film academy could take action!

"Hold on, Director Zhu."

Seeing Zhu Youzhao was about to leave the office, Ding Yue realized he hadn’t said what he intended to Zhu Youzhao.

"Ah, Principal Ding, do you have any other instructions?" Zhu Youzhao turned around, asking curiously and expectantly.

"No, not really. I just want to ask, do students of your animation majors in the film academy have the ability to independently produce an animated film?"

Ding Yue asked.

If the animation students of the Film Academy of Mist City Arts and Science University have the ability to independently produce animated films.

Then Ding Yue would allow them to create an animated film for Big White, ’Super Combat Team’.

"Er, that might be difficult. Most of the animation students are still in the early stages of mastering animation production techniques," Zhu Youzhao shook his head helplessly.

After all, it’s only the second semester, the animation major only has two or three students with exceptional talent, and the level of their mastering animation production techniques somewhat falls behind a mature animation studio.

"I see."

Ding Yue frowned slightly, thought a bit and asked: "Are there any particularly talented students?"

"Well, the animation major has more than fifty students. It’s a popular major in our film academy, there are indeed two or three outstanding ones."

Zhu Youzhao thought for a moment and replied.

At Mist City Arts and Science University, the animation major is called "Animation Design and Production".

"Alright, call over these standout students, and also gather the teachers from the animation major."

"Okay Principal Ding, I’ll go now."

"Go ahead."

If Ding Yue were to make an animated film about Big White from "Super Combat Team," he wouldn’t want an external animation studio to handle it.

Because they might disappoint.

For example, you might give them 0.1 billion Xiao Country Yuan as a production budget, and yet they might deliver an animation that looks like it costs only ten million. The domestic animation production environment is just not that great.

In that case, Ding Yue might as well establish his own animation studio, backed by his school and company.

He has even thought of a name.

It will be called Feiyue Animation, under the umbrella of Feiyue Group.

However.

To set up his own animation studio, relying solely on the excellent students and teachers of the Animation Design and Production major won’t cut it.

Therefore, Ding Yue needs to recruit and acquire an animation studio as well.

"Wen Ruohan."

Ding Yue turned to look at his secretary Wen Ruohan.

"Principal Ding, are you thinking of setting up an animation studio?" Wen Ruohan blinked, asking curiously.

"You noticed?"

That Wen Ruohan was clever.

"Principal Ding, that food documentary you were just talking to Director Zhu about, ’A Bite of Xia Country’, I think it’s really good too."

"Don’t sidetrack the conversation. I’m giving you a task. Look for an animation studio that has potential but is facing financial difficulties."

Ding Yue glared at Wen Ruohan, giving his instructions.

"Hahaha, what a coincidence." Wen Ruohan suddenly started laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"

Ding Yue was dumbfounded. Had this girl gone mad?

Or could it be.

She had a lead?

"Principal Ding, I believe I can be of help." Wen Ruohan giggled, covering her mouth.

"Go on."

"Well, the thing is, I have a cousin who’s very talented at hand drawing. She has been has a long-term collaboration with a certain animation studio."

"Oh? Continue."

"That animation studio is actually quite famous, established by a group of youngsters who are fond of animation. They lack funds and don’t want to be bought over by Penguin Animation, so they can’t expand. Producing animations is costly, right? They won’t last this year. Principal Ding, you may want to consider buying it over."

Wen Ruohan said seriously.

"Here, give me your cousin’s Whatsapp account."

Ding Yue picked up his phone, opened Whatsapp, and handed it to Wen Ruohan.

Wen Ruohan was startled for a moment before she burst into laughter, typing her cousin’s Whatsapp account into Ding Yue’s phone.

After inputting the Whatsapp account, Wen Ruohan frowned, muttering: "Why take the trouble? I could send my cousin’s Whatsapp to Principal Ding directly..."

The office atmosphere was instantly awkward.

The air seemed to have frozen.

In less than a minute, Wen Ruohan had added her cousin on Whatsapp.

On her own phone, Wen Ruohan quickly messaged her cousin: "Cousin, did someone just add you on Whatsapp?"

Su Xiaoqing: Yes? Ruohan, what are you up to?

"No, no. That’s our school’s principal, Principal Ding."

Su Xiaoqing: Your school? You mean the Principal Ding of Mist City Arts and Science University that was trending yesterday? Oh my god, why would your school’s principal add me on Whatsapp? Could it be!!! (shocked!)

"Ah, cousin, you’re really overthinking it. Principal Ding wants to get in touch with the animation studio you’re working with. If possible, he may acquire that animation studio."

Wen Ruohan explained to her cousin why Principal Ding added her.

Su Xiaoqing: Oh, I see. Well, then let me chat with Principal Ding first.

"Sure."

After sending a reply to her cousin, Wen Ruohan turned to Principal Ding and said: "Principal Ding, I’ve informed my cousin. You can chat with her now. Oh, by the way, my cousin’s name is Su Xiaoqing."

"Alright."

Ding Yue nodded, ready to greet Wen Ruohan’s cousin.

Then, the other party sent a message first.

Su Xiaoqing: Hello Principal Ding (greeting sticker)

"Hello, I was wondering if you could connect me with the person in charge of the animation studio you’re working with?"

"If the acquisition goes through, you can continue to work with us on hand-drawn animations, with a better remuneration."

Ding Yue promptly added.

Su Xiaoqing: Of course, Principal Ding. Hold on, I’ll send Jiuge, the person in charge of Tianqi Animation Studio, a request and share his contact with you.
