The Strongest Animator [Rebirth]

Less than an hour after the end of the Eleanor Awards Ceremony, all relevant media received the notice of the press conference held by Huaying Animation.

As soon as the news was sent out, it immediately set off a thousand layers of waves in the media.

Let’s not talk about whether there is a tradition of holding a press conference in the current animation industry. It has been the third year since Huaying Animation was founded. What kind of animation is it that makes Huaying, who has always been low-key, suddenly mobilize the crowd?

"Will it be the animation of the Sherlock Holmes series? Or is there going to be a big animation movie in the Sherlock Holmes series?" A reporter speculated.

"It's not certain, it may be a brand new animation project. However, since Huaying Animation has made such a big battle, it can be seen that the importance is attached to it. It seems that there is no need to worry about the news during this period."

Not only the various media who received the invitation, but also many netizens and fans, as well as Huaying's previous partners in various industries, also cast curious eyes.The last time Huaying Animation held an animation preview meeting was "My Hero Academia". What is the press conference held alone this time, and what do you want to announce?

As everyone waited curiously and expectantly, this day will come soon.

Xingning City, Qinyue Grand Theater.

The organizers hadn't arrived yet, and the invited media people had already filled the venue densely.Sitting in the background, Shepherd Xing finally checked the upcoming animation PV.

"The animation PV liver came out in a week, are you really human?" Fang Lian couldn't help complaining.

It has to be said that until now, he has found it difficult to adapt to the speed of the Shepherd Star, which is far beyond ordinary people - when he felt that the Shepherd Star could finish "Magi's Gift" independently in a very short period of time, it was fast enough Sometimes, his friend's unexpected efficiency in animation production will always refresh his cognition.

Shepherd Xing covered half of his face with his hands, not wanting to answer this question.

... He can't tell the other party that the reason for his frighteningly high efficiency is purely because he has been relatively unreasonable recently. The things drawn from the card pool of the system mall are basically one-time use efficiency potions, right?

He doesn't want to be so non-official either!

Pretending not to hear Fang Lian's words, Shepherd Xing naturally turned the topic back to the focus of the current work: "Okay, since we are almost ready, let's get ready to go out."

Without wasting too much words on the opening ceremony or pleasantries, Shepherd Xing entered the main stage from the backstage, and after simply expressing his welcome to everyone present, he directly cut to the point:

"I believe that everyone should also know the general purpose of Huaying's press conference, so without further ado, let's get straight to the point, let's take a look at the upcoming animation PV of Huaying."

As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the theater were also turned off, and the big screen in front of him sounded instantly, accompanied by a series of brisk BGM, and the animation picture quickly entered the field of vision of everyone present.

The first thing to come out is naturally the information about the work.

Shen Tongfang saw at a glance the name of the animation that had been kept secret by the entire table before——

Working cells?

The name seems quite novel, at least he has been watching movies for so many years, no matter what form of entertainment, this is the first time he has seen a subject related to cells.

I just don't know the specific content of this animation.

As if understanding the confusion in his heart, the animation PV on the big screen also told the general plot of "Working Cells" straight to the point:

The camera starts from the perspective view of the human body commonly seen in medicine, passes through a series of industrial buildings, and finally arrives at the interior of an "industrial town". above.The narration is interspersed with it, giving a simple explanation of this so-called "small town".

"In the human body, there are about 32 trillion and 2000 billion cells, and they are still working vigorously today!"

Shen Tongfang's eyes lit up!

This is the first time he watched the PV of a certain animation, and he felt almost amazed.

Without him, the setting of this animation is too interesting!

Over the years, animations have come and gone, and there are only a few themes. Although animations with good plots and old themes are equally interesting, for demanding professional film critics like them, there are some shortcomings.

But Cells at Work is different.

First of all, this animation gives people a bright feeling from the setting-cells, this is something that everyone has. In other words, it is difficult for the audience to be wrong the first time they see this animation. The main characters in the animation have a good impression, and whether the audience loves an animation or not, and whether they will continue to be attracted by it depends largely on whether they will empathize with the protagonist.

Among other things, as an audience, no matter what, they will almost instinctively hope that the protagonists in the animation will be well, right?

Especially from the animation PV given so far, "Working Cells" obviously tells the story of the cells working hard and fighting the virus desperately for the health of the "town", that is, the owner of the body.

Thinking of the orderly and hard work of the various cells in the animation, it is to ensure the health of the owner, which makes it easy for the audience to develop a good impression of the characters in the animation.

At least Shen Tongfang now has a feeling that he can't restrain himself——

Oh my god, WBC is so handsome, so it turns out that he is the one who has been helping me resist foreign viruses all this time!Oh oh, this Miss Macrophage is so pretty too!Contrast Meng Dafa is good!Wait, let go of that platelet!she is mine!

... No, it seems that there is no need to grab this one, right?Shen Tongfang thought belatedly.Isn't it just cells? Who doesn't have a cell in their body?

In less than 2 minutes, the PV of "Working Cells" has been played.

The content of the PV is relatively simple. In the final analysis, it is just a brief introduction to the background setting and characters. However, this is enough to amaze the animation media present. This is a novel and bold idea, not to mention judging from the PV, this animation is obviously not just as simple as selling dog meat.

There was silence.

The notebooks brought by many people are still blank. During the time when the PV is playing, they have no time to focus on it, let alone take notes. I wrote the evaluation.

Seeing the reactions of everyone in the audience, Shepherd smiled and introduced: "As you can see, "Working Cells" will be one of Huaying's next-stage animation projects. The animation is adapted from Akane Shimizu's comic "Working Cells" of the same name, and it tells a story that takes place inside the human body."

"In addition, in order to ensure the professionalism of the medical issues involved in the animation, "Working Cells" has specially hired Professor Li from Xingning Medical College. During the production of the animation, Professor Li will serve as a professional consultant to ensure that "Cells at Work" The professionalism of Cells at Work, so as not to cause unnecessary misleading to the audience."

Shen Tongfang's heart moved slightly, and when he looked at the Shepherd Star on the stage, it seemed to become complicated.

Although Mu Su Xing didn't say it clearly, the theme and particularity of this animation are already there, and any fool can see that "Working Cells" is by no means as simple as a commercial animation just to please the audience. In other words, now that there are medical authorities in Xingning City, and with the plot of the animation itself, this is a serious popular science animation!

But then again, general science-oriented animation, can it be as attractive as "Working Cells"?

Just when everyone thought that the purpose of Huaying's press conference was to promote this "Working Cell", the lights in the venue suddenly dimmed again.

Shen Tongfang raised his head subconsciously and looked at the big screen directly in front of him.

The first thing that sounded was a weeping flute sound.

Accompanied by the flute sound, the picture on the big screen also changed instantly: the water on the river was rippling, the breeze was blowing slowly, the bright moon rose from behind the rolling mountains, and as the camera fell into the endless starry sky above, the white In the mist, the people on the boat were drinking, knocking on the side of the boat and singing slowly.

Wait, this picture...

Shen Tongfang stared at the big screen in front of him in amazement—different from the previous "Working Cells", this animation is obviously an ink painting, and the whole picture is full of the unique lightness and Zen of ink landscape painting. The style of writing seems to be full of some kind of romantic poetry.

poetry?

As if realizing something, he and the reporter who came with him looked at each other and said in unison: ""Red Cliff Fu"!"

That's right, the actual plot of this ink painting, which seems to have no plot, seems to be the "Red Cliff Fu" that everyone here is very familiar with, and I don't know how many times I have recited it in the early years!

What does it mean?

"After many discussions, Huaying has decided to cooperate with Xingning Academy of Fine Arts and Xingning Academy of Arts to produce a series of art films based on historical masterpieces in the next three years. The forms of expression include but are not limited to Ink painting, puppetry, paper-cutting, etc. In addition, we specially hired Mr. Zhang Hongyuan, a famous master of traditional Chinese painting, and Mr. Wu Chun, a master of oil painting..."

Shen Tongfang felt that his skin was getting goosebumps.

The schools and names mentioned in Musu Star Talk are all well-known names in the industry in Xingning City. Every single one of them has an artistic attainment that is recognized as a master level!

There is no doubt that this animation series is obviously a purely artistic animation... No, there are so many masters joining, for this sake, it is not an exaggeration to say that Huaying intends to create a work of art!

And this is why Shen Tongfang was shocked.

Because of Huaying's leading role over the years, the environment for commercial animation has improved a lot, but art animation has always been in a cold winter.

The reason is simple—if commercial animation has any hope of making money back, then artistic animation is purely based on the love of the producer.

Not only that, but the production cost of artistic animation is also frighteningly high.This high cost is different from commercial animation, which spends most of its money on special effects. The high cost of artistic animation is mainly due to the high scarcity and low efficiency of master producers.

This truth is actually easy to understand. The top masters in the field of painting have been in a state of scarcity all year round. Naturally, these masters cannot draw original paintings at the same speed as commercial animation. Obviously, they are at the other extreme that is completely opposite to the commercial animation of the assembly line.

In other words, it is not profitable for Huaying to invest in these animations!
