Chapter 58: Suffocating Creativity
Even if he watched several other excellent works later, even if there were many strong contenders for the Youth Innovation Award, Guan Li could not forget the shock brought to him by "Dog Eggs".
The other works are good animations, but this one is different!
It literally pioneered a new genre of animation!
"I'm going to vote for it. Guan Li said so, and did so.
The system looked at the rapid rise in votes and super high praise of "Dog Eggs", and for a moment this game was hopeless.
Fortunately, it still knows the selection rules of the Youth Innovation Award-
Although the audience voting element accounts for a large proportion, it is the score of the official judges of the competition that really plays a decisive role.
"Even if you put it first, it's useless, manager, it's up to the judges to see what you do. The system reminded Guan Li of his useless work.
Guan Li has a completely different opinion, "With such an excellent work, the judges will definitely support it." ”
"......" supports individual ...... Wait a minute!
The system remembered the judges' speech he had just seen, the official comment that used ellipsis to express his feelings.
- You won't really give this "masterpiece" a high score, right?!
"What's wrong with the high scores? "Dog's Egg" deserves full marks! This kind of work that needs to be seen with heart is destined to become a legend in itself!"
The system was helpless, "Administrator, don't blow it...... We all know what that is. ”
God "needs to watch with your heart", this so-called "animation" can only be watched with "heart"!
Because it doesn't have any pictures at all!
For more than 10 minutes, it was all thanks to text descriptions and sound effects!
The creator is very precise and uses the shortest possible language, through the appropriate text arrangement and font movement, to vividly describe the scene of each picture.
Just by looking at these words, you can complete the whole picture and scene in your mind.
In other words, this is an "animation" that requires human brain supplementation throughout the process.
What each audience sees is a picture made up by their own brains according to the text description, which is naturally high-end and extremely amazing.
And out of a certain psychology that everyone understands, these audiences, who have also been deceived in nature, will also trumpet the otherworldliness of the picture, in order to attract more people into the water and experience the same happiness as themselves.
This is a memetic effect.
"Clearly, I just think that this graphics card is not enough to display the setting that automatically converts to text when the screen is displayed, which is amazing!" Guan Li sincerely thought that this animation was super awesome and sincere, "Don't you feel the creativity in it?"
“...... I felt it. ”
What a wrenching creativity!
If you don't have any ideas, you really don't dare to play like this; if you don't have the guts, you can't do it with this idea; if you don't have any luck, it's difficult to form such a perfect chain of "cheating, abduction, and deception" in the process of dissemination......
Although the system is very disgusted with this practice of drawing a big pie and letting people eat paint, it also has to admit that the creator of "Dog Eggs" is really a talent!
"I just appreciate this kind of playfulness, what's the point of adding so many rules and regulations to the art form?" Guan Li said in one sentence the root cause of his high opinion of it.
The system couldn't refute it, so it had to grab another point, "But we are the one who is playing......"
"Why do you care so much, just be happy. ”
In many ways, Guan Li's mentality is extremely free-spirited.
It's so free and easy that it makes people wonder if he is missing a string in his brain.
- Survival in the world is a continuous miracle, so why bother too much about the details?
- Freedom of choice and fight as you wish.
"Don't worry about that, let's go and see the "Heart Like the Ocean" that overwhelms the audience. Guan Li greeted the system.
"Heart Like the Ocean", the winning work of last year's Youth Innovation Award, is a ...... from the hands of a team of non-animation students PPT animation.
Yes, they did make an animation with PPT, and they also did all the professional animation works of the same year.
In the comments section of the contest, it is easy to find remarks comparing this year's work to "Heart Like the Ocean".
To date, Kwan has not seen anything that is considered comparable to it.
- Except for "Dog's Ball", which was forcibly blown up.
Such a high praise made Guan Li very curious.
What kind of work can be presented to so many people on the altar?
The graphics are unparalleled?
Music touches the soul?
The plot is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people?
Both, or neither.
The film is only three minutes long, which may not even tell a complete story.
But it doesn't need to be clear.
Because there is no plot at all.
The title of the film "Heart is Like the Ocean", the full name should be "Darkness and Unbounded, Heart Like the Ocean", or is it not "Heart" but "Star"?
The stars are turned into oceans, so it has the most universal and grandiose artistic conception.
Because it is a PPT production, with the animation effect of the software, the production team frantically used the method of dot painting to compose the whole picture.
All the characters and scenes are made up of countless drifting points of light.
- It's like looking up at the starlight in the dark realm.
And those bright star tracks paint a disorganized story.
One of the brightest stars fell from the dark dome of heaven, through the earth, over the underground, and into the ocean.
The silver moon faded away with the golden sun, and the dazzling light gradually faded out at the bottom of the deep sea.
The stars drifted deeper, following a fish.
The fish swam over the heads of many people who couldn't see each other, and suddenly scattered into a cloud of light chips.
A pair of hands held the stars from the light dust, and it was also a person who couldn't see his face clearly, with very gentle eyebrows and eyes.
He stepped up the staircase into the starry sky, put the star back in its place, and melted into light with a chuckle.
The Milky Way continued to spin slowly, and another fish swam past it, submerging into the sea of stars.
In the fading night, a line of text emerged: "At this moment in the darkness of the night, close your eyes and the universe." ”
“......”
To be honest, Guan Li didn't understand.
It's not just that I don't understand the story, but I can't even guess what this work wants to say.
But......
It's beautiful.
Unparalleled beauty.
You don't need to watch any plot, you just need to feel the light.
- What do you see?
- "Later, many people asked me how I felt when I hesitated on the road at night, but I remembered not loneliness and long roads, but the magnificent sea and the shining stars in the sky. ”
"Administrator, what are you talking about?" the system listened to his muttering, looking confused.
Answer. ”
The answer to this work is also an answer to oneself.
Probably what everyone sees is a reflection of their own heart.
And Guan Li once again remembered the not-so-distant past......
It's only been a little bit of time, and it seems to be a long way away.
He felt lost, walked through struggles, crawled out of fear, felt life like mud.
Chancely, a seed fell on him and took root.
The last thing left in the world is to see it meet the light and then devour itself.
