The Strongest Animator [Rebirth]

At eight o'clock sharp, the short video section of Yunsu Video opened on time.

It was a rare unannounced holiday, Bai Chengxuan did not choose other ways of recreation, but sat in front of the computer early in the morning, waiting for "Maggie's Gift" to appear.

As one of Eleanor's best actor candidates a month ago, it is of course impossible to say that Bai Chengxuan has no feeling for the person in charge's statement that "acting skills are not even comparable to paper people".

He knows that his acting skills are not good. In fact, many netizens complained about his embarrassing acting skills more than once, but Bai Chengxuan never took these remarks to heart, and he was paid according to his influence. Besides, the whole industry is like this now. Is it necessary to work hard to hone the acting skills to get the money you can get by acting?

He had enough announcements in his daily life.

but……

Recalling the scene at the gate of Quanming Grand Theater that day, when the person in charge had a black face and sarcasm, Bai Chengxuan felt very angry.

You can say that I am not as good as other actors, but say that I am not as good as a paper man, or in that case, what is the difference between putting his face on the ground and stepping on it?

"You'd better pray that I don't find anything wrong with you!" With this in mind, Bai Chengxuan sneered and clicked on the video directly.

He thought very clearly.

With the temper of the person in charge, he will definitely not smash his own signboard. In other words, even though he doesn't want to admit it, the performances of the male and female protagonists in this video may really be better than him. In this regard, compared with acting skills, he definitely has no chance of winning.

But for this era of traffic supremacy, many times, many things do not need to be divided too carefully.

Like "The Gift of the Magi".

So what if it does a good job?As long as he finds the flaws in it and magnifies the flaws infinitely on the Internet, and then arranges for trolls to speculate, who else will believe in the saying "acting skills are better than stars"?

The duration of the entire video is extremely short.

When Bai Chengxuan came to his senses, the video had already finished playing and fell into a black screen.

But in less than 5 minutes after watching the video, he was completely attracted by the performance and plot in the video, and even forgot his purpose of making troubles!

Bai Chengxuan is not a person who understands movies - for him, admitting this fact to himself is not something that cannot be tolerated.He is not an animation fan, and he has not seen many classic movies in private. As for the so-called acting skills, plot twists, etc., he has a little understanding.

And what about The Gift of the Magi?

He remembered the words of the head of the organizing committee, dragged the mouse, and played the entire video again.

This time, he no longer paid attention to the plot of the animation, after all, he already knew these plots.He began to focus entirely on the expressions and movements of the male and female protagonists in the animation, when shopping for groceries, when bargaining, when exchanging hair for money and going to the commercial street to pick out gifts...

It was obviously an ordinary, even boring plot, but Bai Chengxuan broke out in a cold sweat as he watched it.

He hadn't had such an encounter for a long time.

The last time I felt this way was two years ago when I played a role in a big-budget movie. In that movie, he had a one-sided confrontation with the leading actor of the movie, and a look from the other side made him breathless. Out of breath, his three-legged cat acting skills are nowhere to be hidden.

The embarrassment and embarrassment are still fresh in his memory.

But now, when he was watching a short animated film, he once again felt the pressure from "real".

"Brother Xuan, look at the navy..."

Probably out of fear of offending him, the assistant's voice was lowered very softly, appearing extra cautious. To his surprise, his employer, who has always been grumpy, did not intend to lose his temper this time. Bai Chengxuan leaned back and softened Sitting on the sofa chair, his eyes were fixed on the computer screen for a moment, but he felt a chill in his heart.

You know, the actor who made him feel scared from the bottom of his heart back then is a real veteran actor in the film and television industry!

But how old is the maker of this animation video this year?

"Brother Xuan?"

Waking up from the memory by the assistant's voice, Bai Chengxuan closed his eyes: "There's no need to prepare those."

what?

The assistant froze for a moment, unable to react for a while.As an assistant, he has witnessed how incompetent and furious the other party has been this month.

But now, this lord with a temper that surpassed the heavens actually said it was okay?

Bai Chengxuan didn't intend to explain to his assistant.

Although his acting skills are not good, it does not mean that he is a fool. Since the night of the Eleanor Awards, the entertainment industry has changed rapidly. Traffic stars without acting skills have not had a good time recently. After they proved to the market, traffic stars without acting skills are still Before they have the ability to make profits, many big productions may not act rashly.

As for "The Gift of the Magi", let alone.

The gap is too big.

Even he can see the difference in acting skills, how can fans and other people in the industry not see it?With the current general trend of the entire entertainment industry, if "Maggie's Gift" really had any major flaws, he could find the navy to blackmail him, but the problem was, just like what the head of the organizing committee said.

Compared with the acting skills in "The Gift of the Magi", the actors in this year are far, far behind.

With such a huge disparity, even if he seeks out "The Gift of the Magi" from Shui Junhei, it will be a waste of money.

Not only that... I am afraid that the era when traffic is the first, and relying on rubbish scripts and rubbish acting skills to make money will be gone forever.

-

Once "The Gift of the Magi" was launched, some people were happy while others were worried.

When a small number of people are still depressed because "The Gift of the Magi" is too good and die down, more people simply enjoy the fun of watching a work of art.

Many film review magazines that also pay attention to this animated short film, it is rare to have a separate page dedicated to talking about "Maggie's Gift".

"If there were still people who suspected that the organizing committee was trying to make excuses for the vacancy of the award until yesterday, then with the premiere of "Magi's Gift" on the Internet today, no one should have any doubts about the acting skills of the paper man Yes, in fact, the opposite is true. After watching this short animation, I began to feel that the organizing committee was too light. How can this be inferior to the paper man? This is simply one-tenth of the paper man. Not as good!"

"This is a good sign," a professional film critic wrote in "Film Weekly": "Thanks to the appearance of "Maggie's Gift", it made the organizing committee make a decision, and also gave the Blue Star film and television circle Upward potential."

……

The film and television circles watch "The Gift of the Magi" and watch the wonderful performances in the animated short film, that is, the "acting skills" of the male and female protagonists.While watching "Maggie's Gift" in the animation circle, it is considered and evaluated based on the standards of independent animation.

At the same time, Tianjiu, the leader of the black fan who always likes to "know" the black pastor star, also left a rare comment on related issues——

Let me start with the conclusion, well deserved.

Very interesting animated short.

Let me talk about the plot first. The script of this animation itself is very good. The desperation and sincere and tender emotions of the impoverished couple are immediately highlighted.

As for the production, I agree with Mr. Xia Yongyuan's saying that the production of this animation deserves its script.

Many people fall into "The Little Prince" because the plot moves people's hearts. Of course, it is undeniable that this is indeed a very important part of this animation, but there is no doubt about the director's talent shown by Mu Suxing in "The Little Prince", which is why I think it is a pity for him to do commercial animation.

To my surprise, the directorial talent of Shepherd Star has continued again in "The Gift of the Magi". If we say that "The Little Prince" is a fairy tale-style animated short film, it shows the extraordinary imagination of Shepherd Star. , then "Magi's Gift" embodies the powerful observation ability of the shepherd star and the ability to extract details from reality.

……

All in all, "The Gift of the Magi" really deserves the praise it has received so far. Even if you are as biased as I am about the pastor star, this animated short film is also worth watching. You put down a short clip of prejudice.

Related interests: Shepherd star black fan.

"Looking at the answerer's boasting so smoothly and well-founded, I thought he was a senior fan, but at the end... are all the black fans of Musu star so awesome?"

"??? Damn? Am I dazzled? Tianjiu actually turned around and played "Maggie"? Brother Jiu, you can't be a fan of Shepherd Xinghei, right?"

"When I was reading this answer, I kept wondering if there would be a reversal, but the boss didn't write 'but', and just blown it to the end. I can't believe it, the boss didn't say "but" Did you steal your account?"

And actually-

Sweet Wine: You are overthinking, I am just a principled black fan.When the pastor star makes some bad movies with hot eyes, I will definitely shoot them!

It has to be said that people follow suit.

As countless film critics and cartoon critics stood up and analyzed "Maggie's Gift", even those who were not very interested in it, over time formed in their minds "Although I haven't seen it, it should be a very powerful and very good movie." Animated short film with depth" impression, so that...

A month later.

Blue Star TV Culture Bureau.

"I said, how do you all do things? You have to ask me this and you have to ask me, so what's the use of you?" Director Lin held the phone in one hand and reprimanded sharply: "How many times have I said that, like the teacher If such a sensitive plot happens, if you can’t pass it, you can’t pass it, why are there so many?”

The person on the other end of the phone was obviously scared by the yelling, so he asked cautiously: "Then I'll call back right away and ask Huaying to edit it again?"

"...Wait," Director Lin was about to nod, but a certain key word in the employee's words made him feel moved again: "Huying? You mean, the one who produced "Maggie's Gift"?"

"Yes."

Director Lin hesitated for a while.

He thought of the changes that "Magi's Gift" had brought to the film and television industry during this period of time, and how touched he was after watching "Magi's Gift". He hesitated for a while and said, "Send me the animation, and I will watch it look."

The subordinate complied.

If it is someone else's work, maybe he doesn't have the qualification to be personally reviewed by him. It is reasonable to say that there is no such thing as Huaying animation. Appreciation, in the end, he opened the animation with rare patience, and watched it roughly.

Two days later.

"You tell Huaying that there is no need to edit, this animation has passed the review."

"Ah? But isn't there a teacher-student plot in it?"

The subordinate didn't know, so he was at a loss for a while, but he heard the boss on the other side say seriously: "I probably watched it once, and then analyzed it carefully. The theme of this animation is love and tenderness. If the plot of teachers and students is edited out, The expression of the theme is one layer less, and it also hinders the presentation of the theme of the animation, so it is better to keep it as it is to express this emotion.”

subordinate:……

Although, why does he always have the illusion that his boss is doing reading comprehension?

Does this work too?
