The Strongest Animator [Rebirth]

What can I say?

Prior to this, Mu Suxing didn’t think about this question. He even spared some time a few days ago to write a speech: the past and present of the ACG industry, and several important aspects of the future development of the animation industry. Directions and possibilities...Finally, encourage freshmen to study hard so as to realize their childhood animation dreams.

It may sound like a cliché, but many of the analysis and predictions about the animation industry are the crystallization of Mu Suxing's two-life experience, which is more than enough as a speech at the opening ceremony of the School of Painting and Film.

but--

Shepherd star raised his head, looking through countless pairs of bright eyes under the rostrum, in a trance, he felt as if he saw a dozen years ago in his previous life, that? I am a new self in this industry.

It shouldn't be like this.

God gave him a chance to start again, but it shouldn't be for him to experience this kind of reincarnation again with another identity.

He looked at all the teachers and students in the audience who were looking forward to it.

"Sorry." He said?

……What's the meaning?

Shen Nian fiddled with the camera paused.

Although I didn't think about the possibility of the shepherd star making some special remarks at the opening ceremony, but I have to say that this is too special? The beginning still made everyone present stop. He realized the movement of his hands, and looked up the rostrum in astonishment.

The professors waiting on the other side couldn't help but feel a little bit of a sigh.

Wait a minute, isn't that the speech I showed them earlier?

"According to the general practice of university opening ceremonies, what I should do now is to draw big cakes for you as freshmen, pour chicken soup, and talk about Huaying animation in recent years? In the next year? How terrible is the profit? What achievements have you made in the animation field? How glorious it is, and how promising you will be in the future—" Speaking of this, the Shepherd star shook the speech in his hand.

"This speech I prepared in advance was originally written in this way."

Sensing the turning point in his words, the reporters in the audience sat up sharply.

"But I know it's not like that."

The lingering words lingering in my heart just came out like this, but the expression on Musu Xingmian became more and more calm: "Huaying animation is gaining momentum now, but this is my career and my grand plan. It has nothing to do with you or this industry, maybe after four years, some of you will be lucky enough to enter Huaying, but that will only be a minority among the few."

"Wow—"

The originally quiet auditorium suddenly became turbulent. The students looked at me and I looked at you.

Shen Nian almost choked on these words.

Although to some extent, what the Shepherd star said is also true.But you don't need to just say it like this!On the first day of school, you made such naked/naked/naked realistic remarks to the freshmen, isn't this? Dissuading the freshmen?Is there anyone like you who presides over the opening ceremony?

More reporters immediately picked up their cameras.

Who wants to watch that kind of serious school opening ceremony?Isn't what they most expect and want to see the most? This scene in front of them?

Facing everyone's bewildered expressions, Shepherd sounded calmly to the point of being almost icy in the auditorium again: "But more people, after you graduate—"

"You'll find out that this industry doesn't bring you a salary that's enough to support your family, and it doesn't bring you glamor or attention. Maybe some of you will become independent producers, but financially This dilemma will force your works to die prematurely or be published hastily, and you will get nothing but the support and encouragement of a small number of fans."

"Or, like most animation students, they become employees of an animation company after graduation, repeating heavy mechanical work every day, but the salary they get in the end is far behind that of friends and classmates from other majors in the same period. Ten years ? 20 years? Even after? No audience will remember your names."

Shen Nian sighed deeply.

She looked around, and it was no surprise that she saw large swaths of blankness on the faces of the freshmen around her.

This? It is indeed true.

Most of the time, perhaps even their practitioners are evading this point vaguely, but a certain corner of their hearts is telling them, yes, yes, this is the truth.

This is the dilemma and pain that the animation industry has faced for so many years.

It is not glamorous, nor is it as dreamy and magnificent as the world in the animation. It is almost completely opposite to the Two-dimensional that boys and girls yearn for.But I have to say, to point out unceremoniously at the opening ceremony like this - the other party is still the person most admired by everyone here... It is a bit too cruel.

Shen Nian withdrew his gaze, almost couldn't bear to look any longer.

But the Shepherd Star doesn't seem to think so.

The young man's calm and sober eyes slowly looked at everyone's confused faces one by one, without any wavering, and without any emotion, he sent out the final question:

"Are you ready to accept this kind of future?"

There was silence in the auditorium.

It stands to reason that after such a heavy blow, how can I say it? There should be a turning point to comfort the students.That's what Shen Nian thought.But soon she found out that she was wrong - after lightly saying such a persuasive speech, the Shepherd star turned around and walked under the rostrum.

This is the meaning of the end of the speech.

Realizing this, Shen Nian opened his mouth, intending to say something, but under such a cold and realistic future theory of Shepherd Star, it seems that any kind of relief is superfluous. It was a bewildered expression, seeing that Mu Su Xing was about to walk out of the auditorium, and among the students who were at a loss, someone suddenly stood up.

"Shepherd star!"

That? It was a girl who seemed rather shy. In fact, doing such an act in public was enough to make her blush.But even so, she didn't mean to back down in the slightest.The girl's eyes were a little red, but her eyes were firm. She asked:

"If the future of the Blue Star animation industry is destined to be the future you mentioned, then? Why did you establish the School of Painting and Film?"

A very simple sentence, but it made the students here wake up like a dream.

Yes, if the future of Blue Star Animation is destined to be like this, then why does Huaying Animation spend so much money on the school?The extinguished flame in their hearts faintly rekindled. With indescribable hopes and expectations, everyone raised their heads together and looked at the figure standing at the entrance of the auditorium.

But Shepherd Star said: "The answer to this question is up to you to find out by yourself."

After saying these words, he ignored the messy questions of the reporters who had reacted, and left the school auditorium straight away.However, Shen Nian on the side noticed with sharp eyes that for a moment, the other party seemed to smile.

She froze for a moment, and unconsciously turned her eyes to the students who were still in the auditorium.

Obviously it can be said that the answer was "I didn't say anything", but Shen Nian unexpectedly discovered that the dust surrounding most of the students slowly dissipated at this moment, and more students sat In the same place? There was a thoughtful look on his still dazed face.

This is the end of the speech of the Shepherd Star, but the sensation it brought has only just begun.

This time, the opening ceremony of the School of Painting and Film had just ended, and at that moment, some troublemaker posted the video of Mu Suxing's speech on the Internet. Less than half an hour later, this video, which was only a few minutes long, was posted on the Internet. Sent a hit.By the way, the Q&A between the Shepherd and the students was also included.

What do you think of the remarks made by the pastor star in the speech at the opening ceremony?

There is no need for trolls to push hands, within a day, questions like this will be directly airborne on every news website and social forum hot search list, and the number of people participating in the discussion will explode in an almost geometric manner!

Someone agrees.

"It's cruel, but it's the reality."

"Children who come to this industry with unnecessary fantasies, please be sober. Two-dimensional is beautiful, but if you want to create such a beautiful, it will bear several times the reality and pain. , no matter what choice you make in the end, it is not a bad thing to be able to realize this as soon as possible."

Someone questioned.

"What the hell is he talking about..."

"Are you sick? On the first day of school? Put it aside? Dissuade freshmen? This kind of tone is really annoying. People like you who have almost smooth sailing all the way, really Do you understand the situation of ordinary people in this industry? Because of their successful careers, can they speak freely?"

The ups and downs of public opinion from the outside world, Shepherd Xing didn't take it to heart.

As a matter of fact, in the eyes of the public, Shepherd Xing disappeared the day after the opening ceremony, and neither Huaying Animation nor other departments of Huaying could see him.It wasn't until unbelieving reporters searched Xingning City over and over again that they finally captured the scene of Mu Suxing haunting the experimental building of the School of Painting and Film.

What is he doing in the lab building?

Could it be? Is there any new project for Huaying Animation?

The outside world is talking about it, and even the controversy at the opening ceremony? Gradually subsided.But everyone knows that this is only temporary.

Since it is a school, the object of inspection is naturally not the works, but the students.Now that the School of Painting and Film has only started for a short time, it is too early to say anything. If the performance of this year's students is really unsatisfactory, then it is time for reporters and the media to criticize the School of Painting and Film.

Under the seemingly calm surface of the lake, there was already an undercurrent surging.

Of course the Shepherd Star doesn't know? What the media are thinking, even if they knew, they wouldn't take it to heart.In the half a year after the opening ceremony, his energy had already been concentrated on another project.

School of Painting and Film, inside the laboratory.

After finishing the last test, Shepherd Xing let out a breath, and his voice was as low as a sigh: "Finally waited for this day."

He was sighing from side to side, while Li Lianggong and other professors at the other end stared at him with monster eyes: "Finally? What finally, like this? This kind of invention that crosses the era and is enough to change the entire Blue Star ACG circle , It’s not surprising that it will be polished for another ten years! It only took ten months to complete the development and testing, which is simply a miracle!”

"Don't tell me," Tan Qingyi said, "If it wasn't for the timing, with the cross-generational benefits of this software, maybe we can really win the Best Invention Award."

"Forget about this software or that software. Speaking of which, we have been researching here for more than half a year, and now the finished products are out, and we don't even have a name yet." Li Lianggong said, looking at the Musu star. At the same time, he said naturally, "Have you decided what name to give it?"

Everyone looked at the Shepherd Star.

No one raised any objection to this—it was said that it was developed by a group, and many professionals were invited, but no one could deny that from the development of this software to its launch, whether it is financial or technical support, Shepherd Star It is the one with the largest investment.To put it bluntly, without the participation of Shepherd Star, this software would not have appeared at all.

Shepherd star did not refuse.

Rather, he actually thought of the name of this software a long time ago.Facing everyone's expectant eyes, Shepherding Star smiled: "Then? Let's call it... the dream maker."

"Dreammaker?" Li Lianggong chewed a few times: "Good name."

"Since the final test of the software has passed, shouldn't it be time to consider what's coming out?" someone suggested.So once again, everyone's eyes fell on Shepherd Xing. The difference was that this time, apart from pure anticipation, there was also a little worry mixed in...even apprehension.

Shepherd star did not ignore this gaze.

But he didn't intend to explain immediately, but said: "I'm going to contact several familiar media to hold an official press conference, and the release of the dream maker will also be announced at the press conference. And announced that when the time comes, I will trouble all seniors to join us for a show."

"no problem."

Xin Zongyi also jokingly said: "Of course, such a big event, even if you don't invite us, we old fellows will come here with a thick skin."

In this way, under Huaying's intense preparations, the time soon came to the day of the press conference.

There is no need to follow any hints, just reporting the names of a few attendees is enough to make all the media reporters squeeze their heads for the number of press conferences.You know, the last time Huaying took the initiative to hold a press conference was the time of "The Old Man and the Sea", accompanied by several industry leaders, and the sensation caused by that press conference, Everyone also knows it.

Then, after half a year of mystery, the Shepherd Star that finally came out of the laboratory, what kind of earthquake will it bring to Blue Star?

Shen Nian touched the video camera and recording pen in his arms, already impatient.
