The Strongest Animator [Rebirth]

The next day.

After several hours of flight, the three arrived in Zijing Town, Huaijiang Province on time.

Shepherd Star plans to stay here for three days. The first day is used to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment. At the same time, he compares the original text in "Maggie's Gift" to determine the appropriate location for the location, and try not to affect the local people. , Shoot the entire town from multiple angles.

On the second day, you can try to construct the characters of the two main characters based on the information at hand.

"Speaking of which, Amu, where did you find this remote place?" Fang Lian wondered, "If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't even know there is such a place in Huaijiang Province."

It is said that it is a remote area, but it is not always the case.

Zijing Town is a small town. It occupies a small area, but it has all kinds of internal organs. Grocery stores, vegetable markets, barber shops... There are all kinds of stores, but compared to the modern city with row upon row of high-rise buildings, it is full of low-rise buildings. Bauhinia Township of bungalows looks like a crowded countryside.

Standing in front of the only solid wooden table in the hotel room, Mu Suxing took stock of the tools needed to collect materials, and said absently: "I watched a movie before, and this is where the materials were collected. I thought it was suitable, so I came over to have a look." .”

There is no official hotel in Bauhinia Town, and the interior decoration of the hotel they are staying at can only be described as shabby.Shepherd is quite satisfied with this, looking out of the window of their room, one can see the gray fence in the backyard at a glance-it just coincides with the backyard of the hero and heroine's apartment in the original novel.

With the help of two people, the work progressed quickly on the first day.

Facing the high-definition photos on the phone and the neatly arranged static sketches on the table, Mu Suxing began to try to do the character modeling design, while sighing to the system: "I always thought it was tasteless before, but now I realize that, In the end, this acting skill card is the most practical."

The acting skill card he was talking about was referring to the SSR skill card he had drawn back then.

At first, I always felt that this skill card was optional, and it would be a waste of money to give it to an animation director. It wasn't until he came into contact with themes that involved blind spots in knowledge and experience that Shepherd Xing discovered the beauty of it.

If it was the original, he would have to stay in this small town for at least a month before he could fully understand the two main characters. Now that he has the actor-level acting skills, he can completely use the information in hand and the environment of Bauhinia Town Let’s try to get into the play by myself—in this way, we can not only ensure that the animation picture can withstand scrutiny, but also save time to the greatest extent.

On the third day, Shepherd Xing changed into a local-style clothes and began to try to "enter the drama".

"...The general situation is like this, it should be easy to understand, right?"

Then Shepherd Xing met two blank faces.

"No, what you meant just now," Fang Lian shook his head, trying to sort out his friend's thoughts: "You plan to play the protagonist in the animation by yourself to figure out all the details of the character, while Hangzi and I It is responsible for shooting the scenes you acted into a complete video... Is this what you mean, right?"

Shepherd star nodded in affirmation: "That's right, that's what I mean."

Wen Feihang was a little confused.

If it must be said, the behavior of the shepherd star is not incomprehensible.

Under normal circumstances, what an animation director needs to do is to exaggerate the details of real life on the basis of reality, but the short animation that Mu Su Xing will do this time, the original novel is more realistic, The overall style is also close to the realistic style. It makes sense to complete the shaping and construction of characters in this way.

The issue is……

Fang Lian was at a loss: "Can you act?" This method is not impossible, but the premise is that Mu Suxing himself can "act" the correct effect, otherwise the final video will not only be useless, but will drag the entire short animation To the fork.

Mu Suxing thought for a while, but didn't talk too much, he said vaguely: "Let's just record a short video to see the effect, and then we'll see if it fits."

Fang Lian still wanted to say something, but Wen Feihang over there readily gave the final word: "Then let's try it first."

Probably, anyone who was born as a director will inevitably have some strange and stubborn tempers. It is useless for the two of them to persuade him to make a decision about the matter that Mu Suxing has decided. It is better to follow his heart. No, they don't need to say much when the time comes, the Shepherd will naturally give up.

not to mention……

Recalling that when they were working on "The Little Prince", the shepherd star was in charge of all the roles, and a bizarre idea suddenly popped up in his mind——

What if the other party can do it?

Fang Lian obviously also thought of this, and no longer entangled in whether it is feasible: "That's it." After finishing speaking, he took out his mobile phone, switched it to the camera page, and was eager to try it.

Shepherd Xing touched the gold watch in his pocket that he used as a prop.

In "The Gift of the Magi", the hero Jim has a luxurious and high-end gold watch, which is a treasure handed down from three generations of the family. However, because there is no matching bracelet for this gold watch, he can only use an old belt to tie it casually. So much so that every time Jim looked at the time, he looked secretive, only sneaking a glance occasionally.

Jim is a "quiet and worthy" man.

He has an inferiority complex in his heart - this can be seen from the way he looks at the time, but in daily life, this inferiority complex does not occupy much space, which comes from his own self-cultivation, this quiet man does not Don't show too many negative emotions on your face.

He should be restrained.

Fang Lian turned on the video recording mode on his phone and looked at Shepherd Xing.

It looks like it's no different than usual.Fang Lian was a little puzzled. The "acting" the other party mentioned shouldn't be the expressionless style of TV drama stars, right?

But in the next second, Fang Lian was stunned.

The young man in front of the camera stood there like this, his expression was indifferent and serious, but there was a faint trace of fatigue in his brows and eyes, a kind of faint numbness of an office worker on his way home, then he lowered his head slightly, and quickly He glanced at the gold watch half out of his pocket.

It seems that if you slow down for a second, you will be seen by others.

I don't know what I thought of, but the serious face suddenly showed a little relaxed mood.

Fang Lian couldn't hold back, and cursed in a low voice: "...Damn it!"

Wen Feihang touched his arm uncomfortably, only to realize that he had unknowingly developed goose bumps.

"I'm not dreaming, am I?" he said to himself.

After all, Shepherd's age is there, and his facial features are too delicate, which leads to the fact that he and Jim are not the same kind of people in appearance. If ordinary people act, they will make the audience feel serious.

But the shepherd star did it.

With the body of a young man in his early 20s, the performance of a 30-year-old man under the pressure of life is well concealed, his subtle exhaustion, and the just right tenderness when he recalls his family and his wife.

Fang Lian opened his mouth wide, but before he could open his mouth, he saw a strange middle-aged man suddenly stop in front of Mu Su Xing. There was undisguised excitement in his eyes, and he was quite excited right now. Said: "Little brother, are you interested in acting?"

As he spoke, he took out a neat and beautiful business card from his pocket, and looked at him eagerly.

-

Ye Changlin has been having a headache for a whole month about choosing the leading actor for his new movie.

As a well-known literary film director of Blue Star, Ye Changlin has never had to worry about no actors willing to act in his films. The reason is very simple-although his films rarely hit the box office, all of them are recognized classics in the circle. , can win many awards at various film festivals every year, so that over time, the actors have reached a consensus:

Want to win a prize?Want to be an actor/actress?Then go to Ye Changlin!

It's just that there are very few people who can meet Ye Changlin's standard and become the protagonist of his movie.

Not to mention this time, the actor who was originally scheduled to play the leading role was temporarily busy, and the schedule could not be matched. In desperation, Ye Changlin had no choice but to use the method of audition to solve the problem of the leading role, but the audition for the male lead lasted two It's been a week, and he still can't find a candidate he is satisfied with.

With an attitude of relieving boredom, Ye Changlin came to Bauhinia Town, which he initially set as the shooting location.

At this time, Ye Changlin actually gave up hope of finding a suitable actor. It has been two weeks since the audition, but all actors who are worthy of the title and confident in their acting skills have basically auditioned with him. Now If you wait any longer, you will just wait.

The more he thought about it, the more depressed Ye Changlin simply didn't notify anyone, and went back to Zijing Town alone, thinking about which scenes were suitable for shooting, while relaxing.

Unexpectedly, at this time when he had no hope, God sent his muse to him!

With the pile of crooked melons and dates in front of him as a backdrop, how did Ye Changlin look at the young man in front of him at this moment, and how satisfied he was.

The movie he is going to make is called "Duckweed", which tells the story of a male protagonist who was born at the bottom of society, struggling to move forward in the 50 years of rapid development and change of the times.

There are many actors who come to audition, but there are few actors who can play the hero in his heart.

Under such circumstances, when he suddenly met a local on the street who happened to match the temperament of the protagonist, Ye Changlin was preoccupied with how to persuade him to join his crew.

however--

"Sorry, I have no intention of acting." Mu Suxing was stunned for a while by the non-stop invitation from the other party, and quickly realized that he has not finished his graduation project yet, so where is the time and energy? , to manage other people's movies?
