Chapter 181
Li Lianggong frowned, but said nothing.
Gro-Hill's hostility is obvious, but it's also justifiable. Faced with such a generous request for advice, even if others have the heart, they can't intervene in this occasion, and can only be resolved by the Shepherd himself.
Of course, he wouldn't worry that his students wouldn't be able to handle it because of one person's question - of course there wouldn't be just one person in the question and answer session of an academic lecture like this, who would come with the mentality of making things difficult like Gro-Hill. Some people really want to discuss knowledge with Mu Xiu Xing, and of course there are also those who want to test Mu Xiu Xing, the most outstanding animator among the younger generation, how much he weighs.
The Gro-Hill in front of him is just one of them.
Li Lianggong thought of the day he made the final check for Mu Xing.
What did he say at that time?
"This lesson preparation is very good. As long as you perform normally and make no mistakes, there will definitely be no problems," Li Lianggong analyzed: "If there is anything to worry about, it is the question and answer session after the lecture. A big tree attracts the wind, and with Huaying's current reputation, there will definitely be people who deliberately ask tricky questions to keep you from getting off the stage."
"In addition, those old men also need to pay attention. For my sake, they won't make things difficult for you, but they will certainly conduct corresponding inspections."
He was worried about analyzing it for him. Mu Xiuxing was good. Not only did he not look worried at all, but he blinked his eyes and said naturally: "Since I have decided to hold this lecture, I am naturally prepared to fight with the scholars. , Teacher, don’t worry, I won’t embarrass you.”
Thinking of this, Li Lianggong raised his head again and glanced at Gro-Hill who was standing in the crowd. He and several other people who were sitting in their seats at the moment, but quite eager to try, felt helpless. He shook his head in amusement again.
As a student, he really dared to say anything.
Didn't you say that you want to fight with the Confucian scholars? He wanted to see how he was going to quarrel with the scholars today!
...
Compared to Gro-Ciel's aggressiveness, the Pleiades look much more relaxed.
He was wearing a simple white shirt and his tie was tied loosely around his chest. He looked casual and relaxed, which made him look no different from the students in the audience. After listening to the other party's question, Mu Xingxing was not in a hurry to answer. He curled his eyes and his tone sounded quite amiable:
"That's a very good question."
Gro-Hill was slightly startled.
For a moment, he just felt that this didn't sound right, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. However, a few students sitting in the middle area came over first and almost laughed out loud.
"That's a very good question" - that's a nice thing to say, but why is it like a high school teacher praising students who take the initiative to ask questions?
Gro-Hill asked him to teach him. This was obviously a humble statement, and Puxiuxing was not polite. He really regarded himself as a teacher who came to teach students knowledge.
He dialed back the other party's provocation without saltiness, and Mu Xiuxing did not deliberately mean to be yin and yang in his words. After all, he is here to give a lecture, not to argue with others. Since someone wants to discuss academics with him, let's do it.
Therefore, after replying to the other party at the beginning, Mu Xingxing quickly returned to normal and seriously talked about VR animation interaction point design.
"Although Mr. Hill raised many problems, in my opinion, these can be avoided through the design of VR animation interaction points."
"For example, the problem of distracted audiences when they first enter an animated film can be completely solved by designing light and shadow interaction points. In VR animation, this design is like a spotlight on a stage play. We can focus the light on the story. In the main scene that takes place, the darkness of the remaining sub-scenes is reduced, so that no matter how curious the audience is, they will instinctively be attracted to the brightly lit place for the first time.”
"In addition, objects, sounds, and even the expressions of characters and viewers can be set as interaction points for VR animations..."
What he said was easy to understand, but also thought-provoking. Even Gro-Hill, who initially came with the mentality of looking for trouble, couldn't help but show a pensive expression.
As Mu Xiuxing said, VR technology is the general trend. Many directors have studied related issues in private and had similar questions, but they all left them alone. What Mu Xiu Xing said today, however, He directly pointed out the solution without any secret, making everyone present's eyes brighten, and then lowered their heads to think.
The huge lecture hall was silent for less than two seconds due to the fluent lectures of the Puxiuxing, and soon someone stood up again. If Gro Hill, who was the first to stand up, was aggressive, the middle-aged man who spoke now was not much better:
"Does the pastor mean to use light and shadow as the point of interaction?"
"Light and shadow are only part of it. Since it is animation, all designs should be based on the plot. There is no guarantee, only more suitable."
"With all due respect," the man frowned, with a hint of displeasure between his brows and eyes: "VR technology has just begun, does the pastor think of everything too simply? Shading, polygon simplification, texture mapping... These techniques for rendering complex visual scenes sound simple, but actually implementing them is more than just a matter of words."
If the students present could barely understand the interaction design just now, the following topic made them a little confused.
Shading, polygon simplification, texture mapping... what are these?
Xue Jia looked at the Southern District boss who asked the question, and then looked at the Muxiu star on the stage.
This...if she understood correctly, this has already entered the technical field, right?
Although VR technology is also a part of VR animation, animation directors and developers who actually engage in VR technology are two different things. VR technology has just begun. As an animation director, no matter how versatile Mu Xingxing is, how can he even use this technology? Everything on the level is clear?
Isn't that what technicians do?
Shepherd star turned his head slightly and looked at each other.
He can probably understand why the other party is dissatisfied - if the director wants the work to achieve certain effects, he only needs to issue an order. However, the technicians have to rack their brains and try many times to achieve this effect. I am afraid that the other party will He treats it as a director who only knows how to draw and divide shots, and is prepared to give him a blow from a technical level!
However--
Mu Xiuxing only glanced at the other party and then withdrew his gaze. The person who is going to ask questions next probably still has questions. He is not going to waste too much time on this person, so he might as well solve it quickly.
Thinking of this, Shepherd Star didn't say much else, but simply said: "There are actually many techniques that can ensure high frame rates for drawing complex visual scenes, including texture mapping, view clipping, level of detail clipping, and atmospheric effects. Its essence is actually developed through the field of flight simulation and visualization. In fact, the related hardware animation is already under preparation and development, and you are welcome to come and experience it.”
After he finished speaking, he didn't look at the other person's expression, but waved his hand casually and said naturally: "Next."
“For film and television animation, does the pursuit of VR technology mean the loss of the original traditional art?”
"On the contrary, virtual reality art is the inevitable result of the development of traditional art. The current society as a whole belongs to the digital trend, but the aesthetics of traditional art is out of touch with the high rhythm of this era. Traditional art requires the audience to have a high Only aesthetic and intellectual literacy can be experienced, but virtual reality can directly bring the audience into a simulated panoramic environment to experience it personally.”
"Next."
One, two, three...
The following scene looked like a quick question and answer. People kept standing up from their positions, but the person who was being made things difficult in every possible way was calm, his face didn't change, and he could do it easily without thinking. can't give a better answer.
When another person sat back in his seat resentfully, and Mu Suxing signaled the next person without raising his eyelids, maybe he was overwhelmed by the other person's aura, or simply chose to retreat, the whole lecture hall was suddenly silent.
There will never be another one.
Most of those who can be invited to sit in the Southern District are those who have achieved something in their own field. Even if these people did have some prejudices against the Shepherd Star for one reason or another at the beginning, after such a round, Now I was really convinced.
After a brief silence, Gro-Hill took the lead in applauding.
Before that, he was indeed not convinced by Mu Su Xing, but since Mu Su Xing had proved his strength in the most direct way, then of course he would not even lack this bit of demeanor.
As if being reminded by his applause, the people in the entire lecture hall also reacted. Suddenly, the applause was like thunder in the huge lecture hall.
"Although I have said this before, I still want to say it again today." Tan Qingyi applauded, envious and admiring at the same time: "Old Li, you really have accepted a good student."
Even though Li Lianggong was a usually expressionless person, he couldn't help but show a smug smile at this moment.
is not that right?
For a teacher, the highest achievement is to have students all over the world. Although he can't do this, he has a student who can't be smarter and more sensible. Whether it's animation production, company management, or even public lectures on such occasions, he can talk to everyone, and he can't be overwhelmed.
How could he be dissatisfied with such a student?
The lecture ended here, but the troubles of Shepherd Xing did not end here. As soon as he stepped off the stage, a large group of students from the central area surrounded him in unison. After finally getting rid of the reluctant students, there were many people in the South District who were still unfinished and couldn't wait to continue communicating with him.
Seeing that the other party is so enthusiastic, it is not easy for Mu Su Xing to refuse. In addition, these people in the southern district are leaders in various industries. Since both parties have a good relationship, they naturally exchanged their respective contact information smoothly, and agreed to continue at another day .
When Mu Xingxing left under the arrangement of the school, Li Lianggong was already waiting for him in the restaurant box.
In fact, not only Li Lianggong, but also many seniors in the animation industry who were familiar to Mu Xiu Xing were also gathered in the box at this moment. The fourth child in his family wanted to introduce him, and of course, Shepherd Xing had no reason to refuse. Under the guidance of the teacher, he greeted these old seniors, whether familiar or unfamiliar, one by one, and sat in his seat.
Because of the "Maggie's Gift" he produced in the early years, and Li Lianggong's status as a student, many seniors here still have a good impression of Shepherd Star.
On the one hand, they are willing to appreciate each other, and on the other hand, they are willing to get acquainted. The two parties hit it off immediately, and the host and guest enjoyed each other thoroughly.
At the end of the lunch, everyone chatted wildly. Just as the show was over, Li Lianggong and his old friends said a few last words and were about to leave, but they saw the Shepherd Star who was still sitting in his seat suddenly stood up body.
This is obviously the posture to say something.
Li Lianggong was slightly startled, and what triggered his condition was the thought of his school plan. Of course he knew the real purpose of his students inviting them to attend classes, but it would be too abrupt to talk about it now, and I'm afraid no one present would agree!
He was slightly anxious, and was about to find a way to cut off the words of Mu Su Xing, but Mu Su Xing said seriously: "To be honest, I invited a few seniors to come over this time. In fact, I have a special animation project. Invite all seniors to complete together.”
...Animation planning?
What animation project?
Li Lianggong felt his heart relax for less than half a second, and then he was immediately lifted up uncontrollably.
If others don't know about these old friends of his, doesn't he himself know them?
The most recognized animation master in the Blue Star animation circle, the experience and level of Tan Qingyi and others, needless to say, are all top-notch by Blue Star. However, every master will inevitably have different preferences of one kind or another. If Mu Xiu Xing invites a certain senior to help become a consultant director or the like, it may not be a problem, but inviting so many people at the same time...
How good does this animation script have to be to make these old guys who have not left the mountain for many years willing to come out and stretch their muscles?
Chapter 182
As soon as Mu Xiuxing finished speaking, everyone on the other end was also stunned.
Animation planning? invite them?
Tan Qingyi raised her eyebrows in surprise, and glanced calmly at Li Lianggong opposite. The latter also had a blank expression at the moment, and was obviously also unaware of Mu Xing's sudden invitation.
As Mu Xiu Xing's judge in "The Gift of the Magi", Tan Qingyi knew that Mu Xiu Xing was by no means the kind of person who was too ambitious and liked to talk big words. Since he made this invitation now, he obviously had enough respect for his work. Confidence. Based on Tan Qingyi's understanding of him, the work he talked about next should not be much worse.
but--
Tan Qingyi raised her eyes, looked around her again, and shook her head gently in her heart.
Old guys like them, long past the age of adventure, not really shocking, good enough to make them can't help it, seeing the script of hunting heart, not enough to impress them at all.
In the past twenty or thirty years, let's not talk about others, just talk about herself. As a judge of countless animation art festivals alone, she has reviewed thousands of art animation short films, if not tens of thousands, what kind of styles and plots has she not seen? Among them, there are quite a few masters who have been sharpening their swords for ten years. Under the influence of such excellent works, the aesthetics of animation has already reached a high level.
Ordinary excellent works can't even catch their eyes, let alone end in person.
She thought so, but she had no intention of rejecting Mu Xing on the spot.
Young people have a bit of youthful spirit, not to mention that Mu Xiuxing has just finished a perfect trial lecture. When they are high-spirited, it is inevitable to make such impulsive actions. Old guys like them are still I won’t pour cold water on it at this time.
"Did you bring the script?" Tan Qingyi asked with a gentle tone: "Did you encounter any difficulties in the middle? Why don't you tell me, we can also give you some suggestions."
Mu Suxing took out the script that had been prepared in advance from the file bag, handed it to Tan Qingyi, and said in a sincere tone: "If I want to talk about this work, I really encountered a lot of difficulties."
"oh?"
When he said this, Tan Qingyi became surprised. Frankly speaking, so far, she has never seen Mu Xingxing when he was worried about something. This was the first time that he spoke out about difficulties like this.
Mu Xiuxing considered it in his mind, and then said: "That's it, the theme of this script is quite special. After all, I am still too young, and many of my feelings may not be accurately expressed through animation. I am alone If it comes, it will inevitably be more than enough, and it will seem like a young man forcing himself to express his sorrow."
This means that the theme of the script is relatively deep.
Tan Qingyi didn't take these words too seriously.
She considers herself to be someone who has experienced it, and there have been times when young people thought they were geniuses. Whether it was out of admiration for the Shepherd Star or protection, she was unwilling to embarrass him on the spot, so she smiled and said: "It's just that I am in this period of time." There's no job, if you don't mind, I'll help you take a look."
With Tan Qingyi's start, several other people also expressed that they would help him provide advice.
No one mentioned Mu Suxing's invitation just now, and of course Mu Suxing didn't mean to ask now without knowing it. He just pretended that he didn't understand the silent refusal, and just smiled at the moment: "Then trouble the teachers."
…
As the lunch ended, everyone chatted a few words for the last time, and then dispersed. Here, Xin Zongyi returned home and threw the script on the coffee table in the living room.
"Didn't you say to listen to Lao Li's student's trial lecture today?" Mrs. Xin greeted her with a smile: "How did it turn out?"
Xin Zongyi nodded dispensably: "It's not bad, you can be regarded as the best among young people." He said, inadvertently recalling the scene of the young man standing in the lecture hall, confronting everyone without giving in , frowned unconsciously: "I still have the ability, but I am a bit too arrogant."
He told his wife what happened in the lecture hall, and at the end he mentioned the invitation to the dinner later, and he didn't take it seriously: "If it wasn't for Lao Li's face, I would have rejected him on the spot with my temper." Just remember it for me, and I will push it with Lao Li in two days, I think this is entirely his student's own idea, and he won't say anything."
Mrs. Xin is not as extreme as him, maybe because of her age, she admires such young people, and said: "Since you are said to be the best among young people, why don't you help Lao Li by the way?" The students look at the script and give me some pointers?" She joked, "Maybe you are moved after reading the script?"
Xin Zongyi didn't think he would be so easily moved, but since he said before that he would help others to see it, he naturally wouldn't go back on his word. He has nothing to do with him now, so he simply went to the kitchen to make himself a cup of tea, and sat on the edge of the sofa to relax Turn over the script.
When you open the script, the first thing that catches your eye is the name and author of the script.
"Adapted from Hemingway's novella, "The Old Man and the Sea"?" Xin Zongyi said to himself: "Strange name... Forget it, let's continue reading."
The plot of the script is very simple: an elderly fisherman has not caught fish for more than 80 days, the young fisherman jokes about the old man’s failure to catch fish, and the other part of the elderly fisherman sympathizes with him , In this context, in order to survive, the old fisherman went to sea again.
The plot is simple, but the whole script is extremely cumbersome. From the chat between the old man and the child, to the mentality of the old man on the boat fishing alone, it looks like an old lady's foot wrap, which is smelly and long, especially for Xin Zongyi. People who prefer a slow pace are a little impatient.
What the hell is going on with the writer of this story? Don't you pay attention to a little bit of detail?
Not only is the description cumbersome, but the plot of the whole story is surprisingly simple. At present, it only tells the story of an old fisherman fishing. What deep meaning can be found in such a plot?
He was disdainful in his heart, and his face became more and more impatient. Taking advantage of the effort to drink from the teacup, he stopped and pressed his forehead, and then he suppressed his boredom and continued to look down.
The next plot also continued the usual boredom from the early stage.
After a long wait, the old man finally waited until the fish took the bait. However, no matter how hard the old man tried, he could not pull the fish up. Instead, he was pulled along with the boat by the fish.
He was dragged like this by the invisible big fish for more than ten hours, from day to night to day, and his hands were as stiff as dead bodies due to cramps. The big fish dragged his boat on the sea for three full days before he was exhausted. The old man finally killed the big fish and tied it to the other side of the boat.
Well, the old man finally caught the fish. Xin Zongyi thought. Is it time for this boring story to end?
But no.
On the way back, this ill-fated old man encountered bad news again - his boat was attacked by a shark, and the big fish tied to the bow of the boat was also bitten by the shark with dozens of pounds of meat. The old man is about to face a strong and ferocious shark, but he doesn't even have a decent weapon in his hand.
Even if Xin Zongyi doesn't like this story, he can't help but feel a little unbearable at this moment.
The old man's fate was too tragic.
But--
"People are not born for failure." He said: "A person can be destroyed, but not defeated."
Xin Zongyi was stunned.
Mrs. Xin on the side came over. She originally planned to add a cup of tea to her husband, but when her eyes glanced at him inadvertently, she was surprised to find that the pair had been pressing on her forehead a few minutes ago because of the impatience of the owner. His hand was trembling uncontrollably at this moment.
Looking at Xin Zongyi again, the latter now changed his initial lack of interest and stared at the script in his hand, as if he didn't see anyone else beside him.
In fact, Xin Zongyi really couldn't care about that at this moment.
His mind was completely attracted by the script in front of him!
Of course, the old man did not give up the big fish he finally caught.
He stood up again.
Without a weapon, he tied a knife to the handle of an oar and used this unseemly weapon to fight the sharks that came up to him. His hands were bleeding from the cuts, and he was so painful that he could no longer control them. , but still must stick the knife into the shark's eye.
Xin Zongyi's mood suddenly became heavy.
He suddenly understood why this script was so complicated.
For people who have never suffered any decent setbacks and live in happiness, this script is undoubtedly boring. But if you have had some difficult years when you hit a wall everywhere, then you will definitely understand that those seemingly tedious and uninteresting descriptions reflect a real and hopeless state.
It reminded him of his past self.
When seeking investment in animation, I encountered obstacles again and again, and the projects I invested came to nothing. He finally got an interview opportunity, so he recited the draft he made before departure over and over again in his heart, and even practiced smiling in front of the mirror, but no matter how much effort he put in, how many days and nights he spent preparing, he was finally defeated by the sentence "I'm sorry , we have no plans to invest in animation projects.”
It's hard, it's cruel, but this is reality.
On the coffee table, the tea that was thrown aside by the host at some point had completely cooled down.
Xin Zongyi put down the script, but tears were streaming down his face before he knew it.
He closed his eyes and leaned quietly on the sofa like that. He thought about himself and the old man in the story. Finally, those familiar moods merged into one in his mind, and turned into colorful pictures, which flashed through his mind like books -
As if getting an electric shock, he stood up from his seat almost immediately!
"Where's my mobile phone?" Xin Zongyi said, his voice was rarely hoarse, and he even showed a hint of undisguised panic: "You tell Lao Li, I accept this invitation—no, you tell him, as long as he can make this I’m willing to pay any price I can to make an animation!”
Chapter 183
At the same time, after reading the animation script, there was also Li Lianggong who was still in the box.
Originally, he was going to leave with everyone, but the sudden animation invitation from Mu Su Xing really shocked him. Because he was worried about the specific quality of the script, Li Lianggong didn't even bother to go home and watch it again, and waited for everyone to follow suit. After leaving, he hurriedly opened the script.
It's okay not to read it. After reading it like this, Li Lianggong was immediately shocked.
He claims to have seen countless animation scripts, but even if he abandons the limitation of animation scripts and expands the scope to literary novels and movies, Li Lianggong dares to say that he has never seen a more shocking script than the one in front of him. Works!
Is the plot of this script interesting?
No, or on the contrary, if it were purely based on the plot, "The Old Man and the Sea" could be said to be the most boring novel he had ever read, but this boredom was relative to different people.
For ordinary people who are spoiled by fast food novels and videos, this work can be said to be verbose, smelly and long. But for these old men who are also old and have gone through many hardships, this work is like depicting their difficult first half of life!
All kinds of thoughts floated in his mind like bubbles. He subconsciously touched his pocket, ready to smoke a cigarette to sober up, but found nothing. Only then did he remember that since his life gradually stabilized, he was at his wife's house. Prompted to quit smoking.
"I'm getting old..." Li Lianggong said to himself.
He thought that he would never be moved by anything again, but the animation script called "The Old Man and the Sea" in front of him was like a small but sharp dagger, precisely poking at the softest part of his heart.
An unprecedented creative desire arose uncontrollably from the bottom of his heart, prompting him to join this project - even if he could only paint one of the pictures, he was willing to do so.
He glanced at Mu Xingxing opposite him with complicated emotions.
To put it bluntly, the script in front of me is more than just a high-quality animation script - for excellent animators, this is a film that can be immortalized and made by animation. A top-notch script for a person to grow into an animation master!
In Li Lianggong's view, even if Mu Xiuxing did not come up with this script and chose to produce it independently, it would not be incomprehensible. A classic produced by one person independently, and a classic produced in cooperation with many people are two different things. If you can become the unique one, who would like to be one of several people?
But the Pleiades took it out.
As if thinking of something, Li Lianggong asked: "You don't intend to use this work to lure them to teach in your school, do you?"
In fact, Li Lianggong thought about this possibility just when Mu Su Xing expressed his hope to invite them to join the animation project, but considering that none of the people present here would be easily captured by a certain script, he finally decided to invite them to join the animation project. The thought was thrown to the back of my mind.
However, at this moment, after watching "The Old Man and the Sea", Li Lianggong began to doubt this possibility.
He even felt that if Mu Xiu Xing really stated this condition, given the quality of this animation, many people would be willing to give it to him.
Mu Xingxing laughed: "How is that possible?" He smiled and shook his head. It seemed that he had not considered the possibility of the other party's words at all. He was even in the mood to joke in turn: "In the teacher's heart, am I the kind of person who ignores the wishes of others and induces them?" person?"
Li Lianggong said nothing.
The students he teaches are more or less confident. Of course, they don't doubt the character of the other party, but they feel a little weird instinctively.
Is it really like what Mu Xingxing said, because he is too young and has insufficient experience, and he is worried that he will become a teenager and talk about his sorrows, so he invited senior artists in the industry to join the production team?
He thought about the plot of "The Old Man and the Sea".
For commercial animation, the producer's goal may be more about profit. But when an animator decides to make an artistic animation, it must be the theme of the animation, which hides his certain feelings or mood about life.
But looking at Mu Xingxing's half life so far, although he and Huaying have encountered various blows, overall, it can be said that it has been smooth sailing. He will not, and cannot, have the same character as in "The Old Man and the Sea" Similar moods or feelings to the fisherman.
So why did he make this animated short film?
If not alluding to the past, what about the future?
Without warning, Li Lianggong suddenly remembered what the other party said that day in the office when he unceremoniously reprimanded Mu Su Xing's school plan——
"I know that what I say now is just the impulse of a young man to you, so I have nothing to explain - if I really have that consciousness and the ability to turn it into reality, you will always take a step forward Bu saw it."
"True actions speak louder than words, don't they?"
In my memory, the young man's tone when he said this was so magnanimous. The afternoon sun reflected on his calm face, giving off a layer of warm light. However, Li Lianggong, who looked directly into those eyes, vaguely noticed something inexplicable. Calm and sharp.
... Is this your enlightenment?
Thinking of this, Li Lianggong raised his head and took a deep look at him.
The shepherd star is unknown, so: "Teacher?"
Li Lianggong thought about it, and finally pressed this guess into his heart. Li Lianggong is no longer so pessimistic about Mu Xiu Xing's school running plan. As long as "The Old Man and the Sea" can be successfully produced, by then, even if Mu Xiu Xing does not take the initiative to invite them to teach, based on his respect for those old guys If you don’t understand, most of the time you’ll still speak up on your own.
Not to mention the relevant departments. Running a school is a good thing, and Puxiu has enough funds, so they have no reason to refuse.
Enlightenment or something, it must be just his illusion, right?
With Huaying’s capital reserves and profitability, it’s unlikely that it will ever run out of gas.
Thinking of this, Li Lianggong didn't think too much, instead he raised his hand and raised the phone in his hand to Mu Su Xing: "Isn't it your script? My phone is about to be blown up by those old guys." The tone It sounds like he is complaining, but considering the content, he looks very proud of himself.
Shepherd Xing didn't expose his teacher, and obediently waited for him to say more.
Probably because the call was not connected and he was too anxious, Li Lianggong also received dozens of text messages at the same time. He took a cursory glance, turned to Mu Xing and smiled: "It seems that these old guys are really anxious." Well, they said, as long as you allow them to join the production team, you can ask for anything."
Muxiuxing was not surprised to receive such a response.
No matter which world it is in, "The Old Man and the Sea" is undoubtedly a classic. Whether it is its own quality or the reputation it can bring to people, it is enough to make any animation producer tempted, let alone these animation masters who are already obsessed with artistic animation?
Even though he said that, Mu Xiuxing did not mean to open his mouth. He just smiled and said: "It was originally an invitation from me. The seniors are willing to accept my invitation. Of course it is the best." He never mentioned any conditions. things.
Li Lianggong nodded and said nothing more.
As long as he's here, those old men won't have the nerve to take advantage of his students. It doesn't matter if Patriarch doesn't ask for it, he will always get it back for him if he turns around.
Mass-sending Mu Xiu Xing's response to everyone, Li Lianggong quickly received it. They hoped to discuss the animation planning with Mu Xiu Xing now. He saw that several old guys who could not be more calm on weekdays were in a hurry now. Like young people, Li Lianggong only thought it was funny, and at the same time conveyed their meaning to Musu Xing.
So everyone who separated at noon reunited in the box again less than ten minutes later.
Because Mu Suxing said that he voluntarily invited them to join the production team, and there was no need to thank him deliberately, everyone stopped talking about this topic, and just remembered this favor in their hearts.
At their age, money and status are secondary, but "The Old Man and the Sea" can make them forever remembered by future generations.
For them, this is more important than anything else.
After the simple polite greetings, they quickly got to the point:
"How are you going to draw it?"
Mu Xiuxing mused: "'The Old Man and the Sea' will involve a lot of shots of the sea. If possible, I plan to use oil painting to make it into a finished product."
As soon as he finished speaking, before he elaborated, Tan Qingyi's eyes lit up. All of the people present here are experts in the animation industry. At this moment, Mu Xingxing only started to speak, and everyone understood what he meant.
"Good idea!" Tan Qingyi clapped her hands high and said with great interest: "The oil painting is rich in color, and the three-dimensional texture is very strong after the paint is overlapped many times. It is suitable to reflect the majestic and magnificent sea!"
"It's not just an oil painting," Mu Juxing said with a smile: "I think we can use our fingertips to paint on the surface of a glass plate for animation production. The background is made on top of the picture, so that the performance of the picture will be more shocking!"
Animating on glass?
This is really... an unprecedented production method.
Several people looked at each other, there was both surprise and surprise in their eyes, but they didn't question Shepherd Xing. Xin Zongyi even closed his eyes immediately, imagining in his mind the picture presented according to Mu Su Xing's method.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, but the more he felt that it was not enough, he only hated that there was no glass plate and oil painting tools in front of him, allowing him to try it out on the spot.
Not only Xin Zongyi.
After a brief thought, Tan Qingyi also reacted. She has a background in art and is a well-known oil painter in Blue Star. When Muxuexing said this, she quickly understood what the other party meant: "Yes! That's right, that's it!"
Animation is inherently cumbersome, let alone animating on glass.
But for these old artists who love art like their lives, time and energy are not a problem, or, on the contrary, in their view, these production methods that seem troublesome to outsiders, as long as they can achieve the best results , is not a problem at all.
A pure work of art like "The Old Man and the Sea" should be completed in the same way as a work of art!
If we could perfectly integrate traditional oil painting art and animation art...
Thinking of this, everyone suddenly became excited.
This symposium themed on the animation production of "The Old Man and the Sea" lasted until ten o'clock in the evening.
Facing the urging of their families to go home, everyone still had some unfinished business, but seeing that the time was indeed too late, they reluctantly stood up from their seats and prepared to leave.
Tan Qingyi reminisces about the raging discussions all night, and feels that the turmoil in her heart is really hard to calm down. In a good mood, she rarely jokes: "Speaking of which, haven't we done animation in person for a long time? Wait a minute later. When the news is exposed, the entire animation industry will probably be shaken, right?"
"That's probably more than that," Li Lianggong said with a smile: "Don't forget, although we have known each other for so long, this is the first time that we have truly cooperated."
Not to mention the earthquake in the animation industry, Blue Star has supported animation in the past few years. Commercial animation has the benchmark of Huaying, but art animation is still half dead. The department is also going crazy.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiuxing suddenly began to look forward to the public's reaction after hearing the news.
