The Creator of the Second Dimension

"Um?"

Xu Rui was suddenly called, a little confused.

He looked at these people, they obviously didn't expect to see Xu Rui, let alone this guy who seemed to be familiar with him would just ask such a question.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Shen Fugui, and I'm from Sichuan. You must have watched "The Master of Cooking". That's made by our company."

The man who called himself Shen Fugui smiled heartily, showing his good teeth.

"Uh, hello."

Of course Xu Rui didn't mention that he hadn't watched the animation "Kitchen Master" at all, so he agreed.

"Compared to big companies like Rainbow Media and Mushroom Pictures, we small animation companies should unite more and not allow the annual animation awards to be monopolized by these big companies."

Shen Fugui said with emotion.

"But this award is sponsored by Tomato Video Network and Mushroom Video Network."

Xu Rui muttered something in a low voice, but Shen Fugui didn't hear clearly.

"You are the focus of our discussion. It is a legendary experience to become famous by relying on personal animation and start an animation company by yourself. It is almost the same as mine."

Shen Fugui really didn't think much of it, he patted Xu Rui's shoulder and said admiringly.

"Which one do you think should be the animation of the year this year?"

"I think"

Xu Rui glanced at the others, they seemed to have nothing to do with Shen Fugui, so they had to pretend to think for a while, and then spoke.

"I think this year's animation of the year should be "Innocent Teacher and Pretty Student"."

"Right, I also think that this year's animation of the year must be "My Hero What Do You Say?"

Shen Fugui originally nodded in agreement, but when he heard Xu Rui's words clearly, he asked back with his eyes wide open by surprise, and subconsciously ran out of his hometown dialect.

"Although "My Family of Heroes" is also very good, we should see that its excellence is based on originality, not animation."

Xu Rui paused and explained.

"Usually we think that original animation is more difficult than adapted animation. This is a reasonable perception, because original animation needs to build a story from scratch, and there are too many things to consider, but we should also think about it in reverse. Only the production team knows the plot, and for the audience, with a natural sense of expectation, especially the original animation with twists and turns in the plot, the audience's expectations for this work will be higher and higher."

When several animators heard what Xu Rui said, they couldn't help thinking.

"As long as it can be self-consistent, the possibilities of original animation are infinite. Director Li Xiuming's several original works have such a high evaluation just by raising the audience's expectations and satisfying them in unexpected ways."

Xu Rui went on to say that he saw that Shen Fugui's expression was a little dull, as if he hadn't turned around yet.

"Compared to the adapted animation, the original animation is more like a wonderful book that has not been read by anyone. It is fascinating, and it is easy for people to overlook some flaws, but the adapted animation is like an imitation of a masterpiece in the hands of a professional appraiser. It will be magnified. From the audience’s point of view, it is of course difficult to make original works, but from the perspective of animators, it is very difficult to do well in adapted works.”

"That said, does it seem to make sense?"

One said while touching his chin.

"Returning to the work, "Innocent Teacher and Pretty Student" not only perfectly restores the original manga, but also adds many details, cleverly depicting many scenes and narratives that are difficult to express in animation, such as using a lot of text to float over for psychological description, such as When the two have a long conversation, let the two sides have some interesting and in-character interactions. These are not in the original work, but the animation production team uses these to make the animation look better. At the same time, these techniques are universal and can be used. Imitate it in other animations."

Xu Rui said while recalling the animations he had studied before.

"Although the story of "My Family of Heroes" is fascinating, there are actually big problems. The gimmick at the beginning of the story is that the protagonist does not have any superpowers and relies on intelligence to defeat the enemy. The enemy is becoming more and more powerful, so the production team introduced the protagonist's grandfather, and in some way transmitted superpowers to the protagonist. Of course, this is the end of the story. The audience will subconsciously create a huge climax with various foreshadowings. Ignore this point, but this is always a setting contradiction that appears in animation production, and it is also a change in the core idea of ​​the story, and the point of deduction for "My Family of Heroes" is here."

Spreading his hands, Xu Rui said again.

"If there is a second season of "My Hero Family", then this problem will become more and more obvious. In the kingly battle animation where the combat power is constantly upgraded to meet readers' expectations, it is quite difficult for the protagonist who is weak but relies on intelligence to defeat the enemy. I can only wish them luck."

Xu Rui's analysis was so long that those few people were taken aback for a while.

"Listen to you, "My Family of Heroes" does seem to be a bit inconsistent, no wonder I had a strange feeling when I watched the last episode."

Shen Fugui clapped his hands and said suddenly.

"According to what you said, wouldn't the original animation be at a disadvantage in this kind of selection? I still want to make the next animation original."

"Actually, according to my analysis of the works over the years, the Annual Animation Award will not add points to original animations, nor will it subtract points from adapted animations. There is only one selection criterion from beginning to end."

Xu Rui shrugged.

"What is it?"

Several people asked in unison, looking at Xu Rui.

"As long as it's an interesting animation."

Xu Rui looked at the stage in front of the banquet hall. At this time, the hosts had already arrived on the stage, preparing for the awards ceremony.

"Oh, bad, I forgot, everyone, I'll excuse you first."

It was only then that Xu Rui remembered that Yi Qianqian was still eating. He hurried back to the dining table, only to find that Yi Qianqian was still eating a big meal elegantly and surely. Beside her, a man in a casual suit The eater gnawed on the chicken leg in embarrassment.

"Miss Qianqian, is this the martial art director?"

Xu Rui recognized the other party. It was Wu Yi, the head director of Rainbow Media.

This young man is like a prisoner who has been starving for more than ten days. While tearing off the meat from the chicken leg, he drank red wine, completely disregarding his own image.

"Ah, isn't this Xu Rui? What a coincidence, we met again. Do you want to eat something? I only eat the roasted chicken drumsticks from this hotel every year."

He picked up one and handed it to Xu Rui, and after being declined, he put it in his mouth.

"Is this really all right?"

Xu Rui looked around, and there were many people who had already looked over, but no one from Rainbow Media came to stop Wu Yi, and just let him eat and drink.

At this time, the host and invited guests on the stage just announced the award-winning works of the annual animation.
