The Strongest Animator [Rebirth]

"I would like to know, as an animation director, what does Mr. Mu think of the animation films directed by Ji Xinrong?" Guan Junda asked while clenching the pen in his hand, waiting to hear Mu Suxing's sarcasm. In this way, it won the heavy recommendation of Tomorrow Magazine.

"Personally, I appreciate this animated film."

That's right, that's it, it's best to taunt Ji Xinrong severely, readers like to watch this kind of drama the most.It just so happens that the other party is an animation director who has recently become popular because of the "Harry Potter" series... Wait, what is he talking about?

Guan Junda raised his head in amazement, and stared blankly at the naturally calm Musu Xing in front of him.After a long time, he found his voice, and said unwillingly: "But I found in the questionnaire survey that the audience is generally not satisfied with "Grass and Trees", and they are very disappointed with Director Ji Xinrong. Is this the director Ji Xinrong? Proof of failure?"

The young man looked up at him.

Although it was just a very ordinary exchange of glances, Guan Junda felt inexplicably that all his thoughts had been seen through by the other party, which made him always feel that the other party's eyes seemed to have an unprecedented coldness. For a second, Mu Su Xing said gently but firmly: "No, I don't think this can be used as a proof of Teacher Ji Xinrong's failure."

Guan Junda noticed that Mu Su Xing used the word "teacher" when addressing Ji Xinrong.

"Mr. Ji Xinrong has proved his extraordinary talent in animation production with five excellent animation films. What's more, I don't think "Grass and Trees" is a failure." Mu Suxing said, his expression was calm and natural , the tone can even be said to be solemn:

"In my opinion, the animated film "Grass and Trees" is actually an extraordinary attempt by Mr. Ji Xinrong as an artistic animation director to face the mass market, and it has a considerable reference value for other animators. Only one animation It is obviously biased to judge the success of a movie based on its box office."

Guan Junda was dumbfounded for a moment.

Guan Junda was naturally not happy to let him give up the big news in front of him like this.

Does Shepherd really have no complaints against Ji Xinrong?Guan Junda didn't believe it.The matter at the beginning was neither big nor small, but it is a fact that the two sides had an unpleasant quarrel. Because of this, Mu Suxing lost the subsidy from Xingning University of the Arts, and even has a mediocre relationship with his alma mater.

Thinking of this, Guan Junda didn't bother to hide it anymore, he said bluntly: "I heard that Mr. Mu and Director Ji Xinrong had a bad quarrel over the script of "IS". Does Mr. Mu respect Director Ji Xinrong so much? Does it mean that Mr. Mu agrees with director Ji Xinrong's original opinion?"

The malice in the other party's words was too obvious, and she couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to.But if he had a really cold face at the moment, most of the reports the next day would be made up in other directions and duplicity.

Thinking of this, Mu Suxing finally suppressed his anger, and said calmly: "The incompatibility of ideas will not affect my fair judgment on director Ji Xinrong's works, just like the original Eleanor Award, Ji Xinrong The director did not refuse to vote for "The Gift of the Magi" because of our personal conflicts."

He paused, and said coldly: "I'm sorry, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you from now on."

After saying this, Mu Su Xing didn't bother to talk to the reporter who deliberately found fault, and got into the car without looking back.

Here, Guan Junda went back to the editorial department sullenly, facing the interview draft that was completely different from the drama he had planned, but the more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became.

Not getting the interview I wanted was partly because of the attitude of Shepherd Xing.

Most of the capable interviewees are individuals, and Guan Junda is no exception.In his opinion, although the Shepherd Xing didn't say anything clearly, the indifference and deepness in his eyes seemed to despise the behavior of the villain he stomped on and exalted.

Pretend to be a good old man, he doesn't believe that Shepherd Xing doesn't have any resentment in his heart.

The more Guan Junda thought about it, the more angry he became, but there was nothing he could do.Unlike Ji Xinrong, who is popular with everyone nowadays, Huaying and Musuxing are the treasures in the hearts of the audience. If he really makes any unfavorable remarks according to his own temperament, fans of Guanghuaying will all hate him, let alone The Shepherd Star itself is not a simple background.

and many more……

Got it!

His heart moved slightly, and when he looked at the interview manuscript on the table again, his gloomy face suddenly turned into a thoughtful smile.The white light reflected on his malicious face, making it look even colder and colder.

He knows what to do.

Naturally, Shepherd Xing knew nothing about the resentment caused by the accidental interview.Even if he knew, he probably wouldn't take it to heart.

Having said that, after that day, the Shepherd star found out the magazine and found the other party's report.

Mu Suxing originally thought that the reporter's personality would be explained in the direction of making things worse, but he didn't want to add fuel to the magazine that day, and instead posted his answer honestly, and the author did not smear in the slightest Meaning, on the contrary, he greatly appreciates his behavior:

"I am used to the tit-for-tat and down-to-earth struggles of directors in the film industry, and they fight for the box office. Director Mu Suxing is undoubtedly a clear stream. Reminiscent of the recent "Harry Potter" movie that topped the global box office, I have to It can be said that director Mu Su Xing is worthy of his status as Blue Star's top animation director, no matter in terms of actual performance or demeanor!"

After scribbling, Mu Suxing almost thought he had read it wrong, but after he read the whole article carefully, he didn't find any insinuations in it, as if he was speaking for him sincerely.

Mu Su Xing raised his eyebrows when he remembered the scene during the interview that day.

Judging from the interview that day, that reporter doesn't seem like a broad-minded person...

He thought about it, read the article in his hand again, and found that there was indeed no hidden mystery in it, so he didn't take it to heart.

It is worth mentioning that when most of the articles were aimed at criticizing Ji Xinrong, this article, which blatantly exaggerated and secretly excused Ji Xinrong, still successfully diverted the attention of some people and reversed the original one-sided public opinion. a little.

"I think what Xing Xing said is very reasonable. In the final analysis, Ji Xinrong is just a failure of commercial animation, and this is only the first one. It's too early to ignore his previous works and say bad things to the end, isn't it?"

"The third-rate animation director said that "Grass and Trees" is really not as useless as those people say. Although the script is not very good, director Ji Xinrong's storyboards and colors are still worth mentioning. Anyway, I can't learn it in my whole life. [Lie flat ]”

"To be honest, if you didn't brag so hard before, passers-by who were deceived wouldn't react so much. Don't say whether Ji Xinrong is worthy of animation No. 1. If you really want to say, No. 1 should also be Shepherd Star That's right? His previous work is still at the TOP.1 box office in the world."

"Being a fan of Musu Star Road, this is the No. 1 attitude!"

……

With the previous opening, the rest of the comments also deviated from the focus, and instead praised Huaying and him, Ji Xinrong, who was the party involved, was thrown aside instead.

Shepherding Xing looked more and more exaggerated, and could even be said to be blowing up the direction of public opinion, and frowned slightly.

"Could this be the black as a powder in the legend?" Wen Feihang was puzzled.

"No." Throwing the magazine back on the table casually, Mu Xingxue said sharply, "This is flattery."

Mu Xingxue said: "The success of "Harry Potter" lies there. Nowadays, blowing up pictures is tantamount to political correctness for netizens, and it will attract a lot of resonance on any forum platform. In this way, he thinks If you don't agree with you, then the only way left is to flatter and kill."

When he said this, Fang Lian also reacted: "That is to say, once A Mu makes a mistake, Ji Xinrong will be a lesson for us? Fuck, isn't it just an interview, isn't this guy too narrow-minded?!"

"More than that," Wen Feihang added, his expression was also a bit ugly: "This guy blows too much, if it's just this time, it's okay, it's been a long time..."

If the title of "Animation No.1" can be determined purely based on the box office, that would be easy, but the problem is that there is no such thing in the industry!In a short period of time, one or two articles like this are nothing. After a long time, what do these words make those real bosses in the animation industry think?

At the same time, in the suburbs of Xingning City, on one floor of an office building.

"Mr. Xu, unfortunately, according to the analysis report of our company's investment department, we think that it may be difficult for your animation film to make a profit in the current film market, so we decided to withdraw the originally scheduled investment of 500 million yuan."

A sweet but emotionless female voice rang from the other end of the phone, and fell into Xu An's heart, but it was cold.Thinking of the three years of hard work and less than half of the production progress, he gritted his teeth and said, "Can I talk to the manager of your investment department? This movie is really..."

He still wanted to say something, but the person on the other end of the phone had no interest in listening.The woman's voice was still gentle, but as if she didn't hear what he said, she interrupted him in the middle of what he was saying: "I hope we will have a chance to cooperate in the future." Then there was a "beep".

The phone was hung up.

Xu An took a deep breath, turned his head and rummaged through his files. After searching randomly for a while, he called a series of phone numbers: "Manager Chen, I have an animation movie..."

"Sorry, Tianning Group has no idea of ​​investing in animated films for the time being."

The movement of the man's hands paused, and then he made another call: "Manager Ye..."

He was answered with a long sigh.

"Old Xu, why are you bothering?"

Xu An's mouth felt astringent, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"It's not that I don't want to help you. You know the market for animation. If it's 3D animation, it would be better. Taking advantage of the tail of "Harry Potter", there may be a possibility of profit. But 2D... you know I don’t know what’s being said outside now?”

Without waiting for Xu An to answer, Manager Ye continued: "I know, it's silly to sentence a 2D animation movie to death because of its success or failure, but the problem is that if you have money to invest, those who can decide whether to invest are just such a bunch of fools. You know the original situation of the animated film, let alone at this threshold?"

Xu An didn't say anything.

He kept his original posture all the time. When Manager Ye was speaking, he silently looked at the sky outside the window, with an almost trance-like expression on his face.

"You sold the house, you don't want the car, and you quit your job—I heard that you were an old employee of Huaying when you were working on "IS"?" Manager Ye asked: "You can forget it yourself, you have to Take your family's quality of life into consideration, right? Do you really think it's worth the trouble for a movie?"

Xu An didn't speak.

The phone was disconnected at some point, and the sky outside was gradually getting dark.The lights in the room were not turned on, and the man's face was hidden in the shadow of the evening, and the expression on his face could not be distinguished.

He hung his head and slowly stood up from the chair.

The documents on the table collapsed with his actions, and pieces of paper, large and small, scattered all over the floor.After he stayed for a while, he remembered to clean up the house.Just when he was bending over, following his movements, a business card that he had packed up at some time slipped down from it, and landed lightly in front of him.

He blinked slowly.

The orange light of the sunset fell on the card in front of him, creating a layer of warm soft light on the slightly immature black handwriting. It said...

——The Shepherd Star.
