The Strongest Animator [Rebirth]

After deciding to prepare lessons, the first thing to determine is, of course, the subject of public lectures.

However, before officially starting the preparations——

Shepherd Xing raised his head, and his gaze swept across the invitation letters for the public trial lectures of the three universities displayed on the computer screen at this moment.

Coincidentally, it may be because the three schools are looking forward to the arrival of the Shepherd Star and are worried about being rejected. The specific dates proposed by the three schools are completely staggered. In other words, as long as the Shepherd Star wants, he It is completely possible to go to each of the three universities.

As soon as this idea came to his mind, it was rejected by Shepherd himself.

Huaying's next work will focus on the production of the animated film "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", which is expected to be released next year in Lunar New Year.In addition, in order to change most people's view that 2D animation movies are equal to losing money, and to further expand the route of painting and filming to satisfy his personal preferences, Musu Xing is also planning to release a 2D animation movie in April next year .

Calculating carefully, the release dates of these two animated films are only two short months apart.

Not only that……

Needless to say, the two-line battle in the animation film, the specific project design of the Huaying theme park also needs to be handled by him personally. In addition, there are also issues in terms of school location and school teachers.After all, he is not a real teacher, he is a complete layman in teaching, and he really doesn't have so much free time if he wants to go to three universities to give lectures on the premise of ensuring quality.

Thinking of this, Shepherd Xing no longer hesitated, and began to seriously consider the choice of the three schools.

"If you want to observe the teaching model of similar universities, I personally recommend that you choose Xingning Film Academy." Qin Sheng said.

When they said this, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, which was the usual time for the two of them to chat after dinner.Regarding Qin Sheng's suggestion, Mu Su Xing did not resist, but nodded in agreement.

As the most prestigious film and television academy in Xingning Province, Xingning Film Academy can be said to have contracted most of the entertainment industry in Xingning Province. Almost all the actors and directors with a little reputation are graduates of Xingning Film and Television Academy.

Compared with the popular acting and directing departments, the animation department is a bit unpopular in Xingning Film Academy. It is just that the country has issued relevant policies to support the animation industry, and even after it has begun to pay attention to the animation majors of various universities, the freshmen in the past two years The number has increased.

However, this is the case, the animation school of Xingning Film Academy can also be said to be the number one animation academy in Xingning Province.

Shepherd Star's idea is actually very simple: left and right he also wants to run a school. Since he wants to run a school, he naturally needs to observe and study the teaching plans of other colleges at close range before his plan officially starts. It is justifiable to examine the specific situation of similar institutions.

Since you want to observe, of course you should choose the best one.

On this point, he and Qin Sheng coincided with each other.

After confirming the trial school, Shepherd Xing quickly wrote a reply letter and also sent it to Xingning Film Academy in the form of email.As for the other two universities, Shepherd Xing didn't say anything, but said that he was busy with work and could not respond to the other's invitations for the time being, so he declined them one by one.

After finishing these, Shepherd's attention quickly returned to the lesson preparation itself.

What are you talking about?

Film and television animation performance?Animation storyboard design?Or is it an application on animation, film and television post-editing software?

The shepherd star hesitated.

As an animation director who has basically completed his animation skills and has nearly 15 years of actual animation work experience, it is hard to say about other aspects, but Mu Suxing thinks he can still explain a thing or two about performances, shots and software applications.

Needless to say about the performance, as early as two years ago, he had obtained the actor-level acting skills, and animation performances have long been at his fingertips.As for the sub-camera and software application, the former is what he is good at. Over the years, he has never stopped analyzing and researching the excellent works in the system mall. He dare not say that he is a master. questionable.

Not to mention the latter, after all, he has the experience of his previous life, some of the future software that has not yet been released, the Shepherd Star can operate proficiently, and the application of the current software is of course not a problem.

"In that case, what are you still struggling with?" Qin Sheng asked.

Originally, it was Qin Sheng who suggested that he try to teach at the Academy of Animation, so, seeing that Qin Sheng asked at this moment, and Mu Suxing didn't hide the intention of the other party, he nodded his forehead distressedly: "It's not impossible to talk about this." , It’s just that I always feel that something is missing, but if you want me to say what it is, I can’t tell.”

"Because these three themes are too standard?"

"That's not true," Mu Suxing shook his head: "These three points are indeed relatively standard, but for animators, they are the foundation of the foundation. If you really want to talk about it in depth, it's actually quite interesting, but it's far from me. The ideal standard is a little far away."

The microwave oven in the kitchen made a "ding" sound at the right time. Qin Sheng got up and fetched a cup of warm milk, and handed it to Mu Su Xing: "Your ideal standard? Can you tell me more about it?"

Shepherd Xing took the milk, but felt a little worried.

It's really hard to be specific.

Why does he want to run a school?

One is to solve the problem of lack of animation talent - this is exactly the reason he gave Qin Sheng in the last conversation, but in fact, Mu Suxing also knows that as long as the high cost of animation and the low salary of cartoonists are not solved The nature of the cold winter facing the animation industry will not change in any way.

He really wants to cultivate more talents for the animation industry, but it's not just about cultivating talents.

The core of the cold winter in the animation industry lies in the high production cost, so if you want to solve this problem, you must also start with the animation production cost.

The answer is simple—as long as we develop production software that can reduce animation production costs and improve labor efficiency.

However, this is easy to say, but difficult to implement in practice.

Regardless of whether it belongs to the animation industry or not, in fact, most of the projects related to "R&D" in various industries are related to burning money. Now that the animation industry is generally in a downturn, how can any company pay for it regardless of the consequences? Research and development of animation production tools that can reduce costs?

But the shepherd star does not have this trouble.

In recent years, Huaying has produced a lot of popular animations. While these animations have brought actual profits to Huaying itself, they have also brought a lot of achievement points to Musuxing. After deducting the achievement points required for purchasing animation copyrights, The achievement points he has are only 5000 away from the achievement points of the corresponding software.

In other words, as long as "The Chamber of Secrets of Harry Potter" is released normally, he can redeem this animation production tool that is enough to trigger changes in the entire industry.

Originally, the pastor star was still a little troubled, how to take out this production tool in a legitimate way.Although he has produced a lot of animations, he doesn't know anything about software development. In this case, he suddenly came up with a new technology, and it was hard not to be suspected by others.

It was at this time that he thought of running a school.

When the school is completed, he can use the name of the school to invite those R&D personnel who he knows and later to come to the school to give lectures. First, he can train more R&D personnel. Second, he can also teach in the school. Set up a dedicated lab and R&D program for them, and let the software emerge as a matter of course.

On the other hand, Musu Xing really wants to cultivate some brand new talents for the animation industry.But in terms of teaching plan, although he will inspect other schools, he will never follow the set of other colleges.

The books in the system mall include not only comics from different worlds, software tools from the future world, but also brand-new concepts related to animation production. Some of these concepts are similar to current university textbooks, and some are contrary to them.

If it is in other universities, even if he is a university lecturer, it may be difficult for him to spread these new ideas, but it is different in running his own school. These are the key to admissions!

The concept may be easy to explain, but the existence of the software involves the system itself, which he really couldn't explain to Qin Sheng in detail.

Seeing that Mu Su Xing was silent, Qin Sheng didn't think much about it, he just thought he couldn't explain why, so he didn't ask any more questions, and instead said: "Speaking of it, some time ago, our company's R&D department A very interesting project proposal was proposed, and I wonder if you are interested."

Project proposals that can make Qin Sheng evaluate as "very interesting" are rare, and Musu immediately became interested: "What is it?"

Qin Sheng: "Do you know VR?"

Star Shepherd's heart skipped a beat.

VR stands for Virtual Reality.The so-called VR technology, in simple terms, is virtual reality technology.

The concept of this technology originated in the 20th century, and it was not until recent years that there was a breakthrough. In the memory of Shepherd Star, VR technology also began to mature during this period. Simultaneously, there are VR games and VR animation.

It's an appropriate subject.

First of all, he did have an in-depth understanding of this aspect in his previous life, and as a lecture topic, he would not have nothing to say.Second, the current VR animation is not yet mature. It will not only attract students and teachers as a cutting-edge major, but also make animation software research and development projects no longer special.

Using VR as a cover can be said to be perfect.

Seeing Mu Suxing's thoughtful look, Qin Sheng knew that he knew what he was thinking, so he didn't say any more, and only reminded him at the end: "By the way, go back to Xingning Film Academy to confirm the specific time and classrooms. Remember to send me a copy of the time and place."

"Ah?" Shepherd Xing was caught off guard: "Are you coming too?"

"It's not just me," Qin Sheng corrected: "Didn't I say before that I would contact some old artists who have business contacts with Tengkong for you? You know, the older an artist is, the more he cherishes his feathers, you If you want to invite them to become professors in your school in the future, you'd better prove to them the feasibility of your plan first."

He thought for a while, and then added: "If possible, I suggest that you also send an invitation to your tutor. If you don't want to succeed once, at least use this lecture to leave a deep impression on the hearts of many seniors." impression."

Shepherd star hesitated: "Is this formation... a bit too big?"

Although Qin Sheng didn't specifically say which old seniors he was, he knew he had a lot of background just by hearing the title "old artist", plus the industry leaders on his mentor's side...

Many bigwigs gathered just to watch him give a trial lecture?

Rao is always confident in Mu Su Xing, so it is rare to feel a little stressed at the moment.

"Is this also called great power?" Qin Sheng smiled: "Then you'd better get used to it as soon as possible. You know, these old artists are the professors of your future school. As the principal, what if you don't get used to it?"

Qin Sheng seemed to be joking casually, but Mu Suxing knew that although he was successful as an animator, he still focused on business, and the older generation of artists might not pay much attention to it. It is not an easy task to come to a lecture given by a young man.

It's just that with the relationship between the two of you, if you really want to say thank you, it would be more polite.He kept the matter in his heart, and said: "Don't, don't, it's too early to say this, let alone these old seniors, I don't even know how to convince my own mentor."

"Don't be nervous." Seeing his nervousness, Qin Sheng smiled and comforted him: "Use your best method to persuade them, there will be no problem."

... the best way?

The speaker had no intention, but the listener had intentions, Qin Sheng might just subconsciously encourage him, Mu Su Xing pondered for a while, but his eyes lit up.

He knows what to do!
