The Creator of the Second Dimension

Before Xu Rui had gone far, he was stopped by two classmates. Before he could explain clearly, he saw a man in a Tomato Video T-shirt walking towards him.

"You are Xu Rui?"

He asked, looking Xu Rui up and down.

"Yes, what's the matter?"

Xu Rui probably heard a few words from his classmate and knew that the other party was an employee of Tomato Video Network.

"My name is Liu Xueyan, and I'm the person in charge of the animation section of Tomato Video Network. This is my business card."

Liu Xueyan was not in a hurry when he saw Xu Rui, and he felt quite stable. He handed over his business card and repeated what he had said before.

"So, your animation section is also responsible for recruiting people from the production department?"

Xu Rui is also a person who has lived two lifetimes, so naturally he was not so nervous, but started to tease.

"Uh, this is an order from our boss. He is in charge of video and animation production. I was the first to discover the video of Voice of the Stars."

Liu Xueyan thought that this little classmate was really different. Ordinary graduates saw him, not to mention being respectful, but at least trembling. From a point of view, Liu Xueyan also thinks that he will be someone in the future.

"What do you think of Voice of the Stars?"

Xu Rui nodded, and then added.

"Since you are the editor of the animation section, it's best to give some professional advice."

"Well, I think it's very well done. The art style is more realistic. It attracts the audience's attention with very beautiful scenery and erases the defects of too many still pictures. Although the storyboard is simple, it has a strong focus, especially the last paragraph. , the monologues of the male and female protagonists are independent but blended together, and the details of the relationship between the two are outlined in a few strokes."

Liu Xueyan thought for a moment, then replied.

"The overall story is the biggest highlight. To be honest, stories of this cosmic scale are rarely seen. Most of the animations with the universe as the stage are in the form of space operas. In fact, they put the story of the earth in the starry sky."

Thinking of some mecha animations before, Liu Xueyan continued.

"But the voice of the stars is different. This is a story that really applies the background of the universe. Whether it is the communication delay caused by the distance of light years or the effect of relativity, it has an obvious sci-fi color. This is the most valuable and rational framework. Underneath, there are delicate and perceptual thinking in it, the impact brought by the two is unprecedented, this is a reinterpretation of traditional science fiction thinking in a new genre."

Hearing Liu Xueyan's answer, Xu Rui nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad, as expected of a professional animation editor."

"Well"

Liu Xueyan twitched the corner of her mouth, obviously she was the applicant, why did it feel like Xu Rui was testing herself, who was interviewing whom?

".So, Rainbow Media intends to sign a contract with you in advance. This is a great opportunity."

"Okay, I'll think about it."

Xu Rui's seemingly thoughtless answer made Liu Xueyan choke again.

This person really likes to chat to death!

Liu Xueyan secretly sighed, if it were someone else, even Zhang Ran, who was favored by Professor Zhou just now, was so moved by Rainbow Media's offer that he nearly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank him. It is said that it was already the best result in this year I'm already a student, but this Xu Rui actually said "consider it"?

No, shouldn't you agree directly and excitedly?

Liu Xueyan soon realized that Xu Rui might be pretending to be calm in order to maintain a confident personality. I've seen a lot in interviews.

"Our invitation has a time limit. If you are sure, we can sign the tripartite agreement today. If you miss it, Rainbow Media will not be so easy to get in."

So Liu Xueyan emphasized one sentence, lest Xu Rui pretend to be too aggressive.

"Well, then I won't sign it."

Xu Rui said that he really didn't seem to value Rainbow Media's invitation very much.

"Okay, let's hurry up then. Wait, what did you say?"

Liu Xueyan originally thought that Xu Rui let go of his reserve and nodded in agreement, but he heard a completely different answer.

"I won't sign Rainbow Media anymore, edited by Liu Xueyan."

Xu Rui repeated it to convince Liu Xueyan that he was not hallucinating.

But at the same time, Liu Xueyan began to doubt life.

A little-known undergraduate graduate turned down an offer from Rainbow Media, one of the strongest animation production companies in the industry, so nonchalantly, no one would believe it!

"Are you serious?"

Liu Xueyan confirmed, and Xu Rui gave him a look, as if caring for a hearing-impaired person.

"Or let's put it this way, editor, I joined Rainbow Media this year, can I be the director directly?"

Xu Rui thought for a while and asked.

"This is definitely not possible. You should start from the most basic animator when you enter Rainbow Media, and then come to the original painting and performance. As for the director, you must have at least five to seven years of experience in the industry. This is only for episode directors. If you want to take charge of a work independently, don’t even think about it if you don’t have ten years of experience and outstanding achievements.”

Liu Xueyan had a general understanding of Rainbow Media's situation, so he said.

"I know what you think. Do you feel that you can get hundreds of thousands of hits for a random video, and a bunch of people praise it? You feel that you don't want to start from the bottom of the original painting, and you want to go to the sky. This is in animation It’s impossible in the industry, just look at the simplest qualifications, are you confident that you can suppress those old fritters who have been in the industry for more than ten years?”

"I have confidence."

Xu Rui's words made Liu Xueyan almost out of breath, but before Liu Xueyan could reply, Xu Rui spoke again.

"But I think Rainbow Media has no confidence. If the quality of the work is really used to discuss the right to speak, then even newcomers in the industry may create miracles, but Rainbow Media is a big company, and it is impossible for a big company to perform such a miracle."

Thinking of the experience of his previous life, Xu Rui let out a faint sigh.

This sigh made Liu Xueyan a little apprehensive, because what Xu Rui said was exactly the status quo of the animation industry.

Big companies can produce a large number of animations every year, but these animations are almost all industrial products processed according to the program. There have been no refreshing animations for several years. The focus of the audience's attention has also shifted from the story characters to the paintings. It is precisely because of this that "Voice of the Stars" can trigger such extensive discussions, because this animation is extremely unique and makes people see something different.

But at the same time, Liu Xueyan also understands that no matter how talented Xu Rui is in front of him, he is just an insignificant chess piece in Rainbow Media. It is impossible to make it out in five or six years. people have been smoothed the edges and corners.

Xu Rui has strength now, but whether he can make full use of it depends on luck.

"Well, I see what you mean."

Liu Xueyan shook his head, thought about it and said again.

"If you have any thoughts, or change your mind, you can call me directly."

"OK."

Xu Rui smiled, waved his hand, and was about to turn around and leave when Liu Xueyan stopped him again.

"I'm a little curious, what kind of animation do you want to make, so that you don't want to wait for a few years of polishing in Rainbow Media."

Facing Liu Xueyan's question, Xu Rui stopped, turned around, and said with a casual smile.

"I just want to make animations that people find interesting, that's all."

Then he left quickly, leaving only Liu Xueyan in a daze, wanting to say something, but couldn't say anything.
