Chapter 1312: Chapter 1095 I Am the Shadow_2

Sighing.

Jin Mu said while holding the script: “Anyway, let it be for now. I need to meet with the heads of the various departments to set the investment budget.”

Lin Yuan blurted out without thinking: “One billion.”

Jin Mu shuddered at these words, almost choking on his own saliva: “Even if we are rich, that’s not the way to spend money. After all, we are making an animated movie for the first time. Being cautious is better. I think three to five hundred million is the limit, considering it’s a trial. A major production of one billion is something usually only the top five animation film companies would dare to undertake!”

Lin Yuan shook his head: “Quality requires technical support, and technology requires large sums of money!”

Lin Yuan already knew roughly how much money would be needed to achieve the effect he wanted when he chose this film.

Crazy!

Jin Mu felt that Lin Yuan, in his pursuit to catch up with Chu Kuang and Xian Yu, had gone a bit mad. It was a symptom of obsession:

“I’ll go to the meeting first!”

Jin Mu feared he couldn’t take much more for his heart to handle.

Lin Yuan nodded in agreement: “Remember to find me an assistant director.”

The head director is in charge of the general direction, and Lin Yuan needed a professional assistant director to become his handyman.

…

Afternoon.

Chase Shadow Dream Factory.

Jin Mu called for a meeting with the heads of the departments.

The meeting had barely started for two minutes when intense discussions broke out in the room!

“Are you kidding me?”

“Shadow as the head director?”

“Does he understand film animation technology?”

“Does he have even the slightest bit of experience?”

“This is too reckless!”

“This isn’t something to joke about.”

“Drawing comics and directing animated movies are completely different things!”

“Even if he is the God of Comics, something we all acknowledge, shouldn’t the God of Comics just stick to screenwriting?”

“I disagree!”

Almost all department leaders were opposing.

Many of these people were recently lured by Jin Mu from other animation film companies with hefty sums, and they had some expectations for the Chase Shadow Dream Factory.

However.

Before the first animation film project was even established, they learned about Shadow’s intended role as the head director, and they were instantly stupefied.

There was even suspicion:

If Shadow really did become the head director, perhaps the day the work is released would be the day the company goes bankrupt.

Should I start looking for a new job in advance?

This thought involuntarily popped up in some people’s minds.

Jin Mu was sweating bullets.

Truth be told, he also didn’t believe Lin Yuan could be an animation director, but he couldn’t defy his own boss.

However.

Feeling the distrust from the leadership, Jin Mu suddenly became angry!

His gaze swept around the room:

“Do you know how Shadow single-handedly overturned the entire Tribe Comics back in the day?”

“Do you know how many doubts Shadow broke through and how many hurdles he overcame before becoming the universally recognized God of Comics?”

“Do you even know what a genius is?”

“Geniuses, you see, are different from ordinary people. You cannot speculate on a genius’s limits from an ordinary person’s perspective.”

“At the Bluelympics, who could have thought Xian Yu could win against Abigail?”

“Recently, who could have imagined that Chu Kuang would win the Galaxy Award?”

“And Shadow, being a genius on par with Chu Kuang and Xian Yu, definitely possesses some abilities that we haven’t yet seen!”

Jin Mu grew more and more impassioned as he spoke.

By the end, he even convinced himself.

Shadow can be this animation director!

No special reasons are needed, just because he is Lin Yuan!

Just because anything Lin Yuan wants to do, there is nothing he cannot achieve!

For a moment.

All department heads were somewhat silent.

What Jin Mu said couldn’t really piece together a persuasive logical argument; he based everything on the premise that Shadow was a genius, yet everyone was somewhat swayed, even starting to think:

Perhaps he really can do it?

Of course, the statement that ultimately settled the matter was the one Jin Mu said next: “Don’t forget, Shadow is our boss.”

This Dream Factory belongs to Shadow!

Shadow can do whatever he wants with it!

Not happy with that?

Then resign!

This provocative tone was too strong, of course, Jin Mu would not speak these words aloud.

While everyone had a serious expression on their faces, Jin Mu suddenly smiled and said: “What the boss meant is, he wants to give it a try, but it’s up to you to make him realize the difficulty and retreat. If he truly can’t do it, I will convince him to give up the idea.”

Jin Mu successfully soothed everyone’s emotions.

The heads of departments stood up one after another: “We will start preparing the project establishment.”

No need for further words.

They were going to make Shadow realize the difficulty and step back!

…

Of course, Lin Yuan had no idea about the stormy discussions at the afternoon meeting.

After talking with Jin Mu, Lin Yuan began his own preparations.

And when the time came the next day.

The department heads suddenly contacted Jin Mu together: “We need to meet Teacher Shadow, as there are many matters that need to be decided by the head director.”

Jin Mu was helpless.

A new problem had arisen.

Since Lin Yuan wanted to be the head director, he couldn’t always remain unseen. But once Lin Yuan appeared, everyone would immediately know that the so-called Shadow was Xian Yu!

After all, Xian Yu’s face is almost universally recognized.

After stabilizing these people, Jin Mu contacted Lin Yuan first thing: “Maybe we should just drop it, as being the head director Shadow would have to interact with others. The moment you interact, the identity of Shadow will be immediately exposed, and they insist on seeing you now.”
