There indeed were some things about "Love, Death and Robots" that Ding Yue needed to discuss with Xu Jiuge.

Fortunately, Xu Jiuge brought it up.

"Principal Ding, if these eighteen stories are being adapted and produced into eighteen separate animated episodes, are we using the same production method? I mean, the style, the tone, and so on."

Unsure of how to make decisions in this area, Xu Jiuge could only ask Principal Ding.

Hearing Xu Jiuge’s question, Ding Yue laughed and said, "Wouldn’t it be too dull if we produced all eighteen stories in the same style?"

On their previous Earth, "Love, Death and Robots" had used different production techniques for almost every animated episode.

This even included 2D, 3D, CG, and various artistic styles like realism, absurd, and cartoon.

Topped with the richness of themes, such as sci-fi, fantasy, horror, comedy, and mystery, the fusion, coupled with quality storytelling, naturally made for a highly acclaimed masterpiece.

In this parallel world, the animation technology within Xia Country was more than sufficient for these needs.

So, Ding Yue wanted Xu Jiuge and her team to give their utmost creativity in producing these eighteen story sets.

Be it the techniques, the artistic style, 3D, 2D, or realism-- everything was possible.

As long as they can portray the unique style of "Love, Death and Robots" and tell the stories well, it would essentially be considered a success at the production level.

"Principal Ding, I was thinking along those lines as well." Xu Jiuge revealed a touch of a smile, "These eighteen stories are independent of each other. So, why not express them using different technologies, methodologies, and artistic styles? It would provide more visual impact and a sense of surprise."

Xu Jiuge’s words and thoughts were almost a perfect match with Ding Yue’s considerations.

Ding Yue couldn’t help but glance at Xu Jiuge. This lively, youthful, attractive woman was indeed full of great ideas.

"A variety of animation styles should be employed, but they must be in line with the story’s theme. Just don’t go over the top," Ding Yue nodded and said.

"Principal Ding, rest assured, my partners and I will make utmost efforts to keep things under control. After we finalize the style and production approach, we’ll report back to you at once. Ultimately, the final decision lies with you, right?" Xu Jiuge said earnestly.

When Xu Jiuge became serious, she gave off a trustworthy, reliable vibe.

"Very well."

Then, Ding Yue went on to suggest, "Since these eighteen independent animation episodes are using different styles and methods, can we give Feiyue Animation Studio, or even those competent students from the Animation Major, opportunities to showcase their talents?"

Ding Yue felt this was indeed an opportunity for the Animation students to hone their skills.

Suppose these eighteen animation episodes differed in style, techniques, and methodologies. In that case, they would require many ideas and specialists in various areas for production.

This would be a golden opportunity for the students from Mist City Arts and Science University’s Animation program.

This would give them a chance to learn while participating in the production and to learn from their progress.

"That’s a good point, Principal Ding."

Xu Jiuge instantly agreed with Ding Yue’s suggestion, "Although Feiyue Animation Studio has expanded its team quite significantly, for these eighteen story episodes, we may not be able to think of eighteen distinct artistic and production styles. Incorporating the Animation students into this project does seem like an excellent idea."

"Well, you’ll have to work hard then. Keep it up!" Ding Yue encouraged Xu Jiuge.

Feiyue Animation Studio’s major project for the year was "Love, Death and Robots."

Just like "Super Combat Team" from the previous year, Ding Yue hoped that Xu Jiuge and her team could successfully produce it and garner substantial profits.

Then, these profits could be invested in the construction and development of Mist City Arts and Science University.

"Principal Ding, it’s our job after all. Should I start preparing then?" Today’s discussion had come to an end, Xu Jiuge now knew about Feiyue Animation Studio’s new project, "Love, Death and Robots."

Since that was the case, it wasn’t quite appropriate to remain at Principal Ding’s home any longer. She needed to go back, thoroughly go through "Love, Death and Robots" stories to lay a foundation and prepare for the production ahead.

"Sure."

Ding Yue nodded, stood up and escorted Xu Jiuge to the door. Since it was rather cold outside, and he didn’t feel like changing, Ding Yue didn’t accompany her any further.

"Goodbye, Principal Ding."

"Goodbye."

After Xu Jiuge departed, the secretary, Wen Ruohan, was the only one left with Ding Yue.

"Xiao Wen?"

"Hehe, Principal Ding, your house is so cozy that I don’t feel like leaving," Wen Ruohan lifted her head, chuckling.

"Then don’t."

"Ah? Principal Ding, you..." Upon hearing this, Wen Ruohan became instantly nervous.

What was Principal Ding thinking?!?!!

"Get Luo Peng, Su Beilin, Tong Yihang, and Liu Tiefei over here." Ding Yue then instructed.

Upon hearing this, Wen Ruohan breathed a sigh of relief. Those unaware might have thought that Principal Ding asked her not to leave because he wanted something from her, but it turned out he just needed her to do something.
