Chapter 159: "Transformers" runs for the Oscars
The animation production here is on the right track, but Liu Wei is still worried about the lack of popularity, and Liu Wei knows through various news that the Oscars of the Double-headed Eagle Empire are being selected. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Liu Wei knew that he might be able to participate in this award, even if he couldn't win the final gold award, even if he entered the ranking, it would also increase the popularity of "Transformers" a lot, and it would also help him to go abroad and make some preliminary preparations for going abroad and going to the world in the future.
There was nothing to say, so Liu Wei began to look up information about the Academy Awards.
Through understanding, Liu Wei knew that the official name of the Academy Awards should be the Double-headed Eagle Empire Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards.
It has a long history and is the most influential film award in the world.
However, after Liu Wei checked, he was a little confused, this is a film award, is it okay for him to run for this animated series?
However, Liu Wei turned his head and thought again, if not, how did the crew of CCTV's "Smart Rest" be selected?
If you don't understand, you can ask, so you picked up the phone and dialed the phone number of CCTV's original "Smart Rest" crew's own office.
The phone was dialed, and a voice came from the other side, "Hello, this is the CCTV Animation Program Production Preparation Center, who are you?"
When Liu Wei heard this, he was stunned again, what the hell is this "CCTV Animation Program Preparation Center", I haven't heard of it at all!
However, when Liu Wei heard it, yes, it was Liu Zhijiang's voice.
Liu Wei cautiously asked tentatively, "May I ask if you are Teacher Liu Zhijiang Liu?"
"Yes, that's right, I'm Liu Zhijiang, the director of the preparation center for this show. You are, oh, I can tell that you are Director Xiao Liu! Oops, oops, look at me, I'm old, I almost didn't hear it!"
Liu Zhijiang first said it very politely on the phone, and then realized that it was Liu Wei's phone, and quickly realized that it was cordial and said.
Liu Wei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and teased Liu Zhijiang on the other end of the phone: "Mr. Liu, you have been promoted, when did our crew become a program preparation center?"
Over there, Liu Zhijiang laughed and said: "This has to start with the end of our "Smart Rest", the station thinks that although our "Clever Rest" is over, it has cultivated a large number of animation talents, so we are the main ones, and the original children's channel animation production of those people have integrated, and made such an animation program preparation center. ”
Liu Wei said with a smile: "Yes, I thought at the time, it would be good if our crew didn't disband, but I didn't expect there to be such a good thing." ”
"That's right, I also became the production director of the program team by the way, but I didn't expect that the title of retirement could be raised to the next level. What are you talking about?" Liu Zhijiang was obviously in a good mood and asked Liu Wei.
"That's the case, I just want to ask you how we participated in the Oscar awards last time for "Smart Rest", how did I check the information, what people want is a movie?"
"I thought that the best animated film award didn't have to be a movie, but the animated series had to be a single episode for selection, and at that time we also reported the last episode of "Smart Rest", although it didn't win the award, but it was shortlisted. Liu Zhijiang explained to Liu Wei's camera.
Liu Wei suddenly realized after listening to it, and said to Liu Zhijiang: "I said, okay, thank you Mr. Liu, I also want to select the animation I made, I didn't know before, I know when you say that! Thank you, I'll hang up first if there's nothing to do, I'll look for you next time I'm free!"
"Oh, no, don't, don't. I have something else to ask you?" Over there, Liu Zhijiang heard that Liu Wei was going to hang up the phone, and hurriedly said to Liu Wei.
Liu Wei was a little puzzled and asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Liu?"
Liu Zhijiang said: "Director Liu is amazing, I'll ask you where did you get the inspiration for "Transformers", this form is the first time in the world!"
When Liu Wei heard this, he felt a little proud in his heart, but then he felt a little guilty, after all, his side was not original, but the crystallization of the wisdom of the previous world, Liu Wei said modestly: "It's just to absorb the essence of the predecessors, don't praise me, tell me something." ”
"Well, that's the case, after your film came out, our station felt that the kind of theme you produced would be popular for a while in the future, and the leaders of the station held a meeting to decide, and we also followed the trend to make a mechanical animation, I don't know what advice you can give over there?"
Liu Wei nodded and pondered for a while, he knew that following the trend was inevitable, just like after "Smart Yixiu" came out, many TV stations and program production centers also followed suit and produced a batch, what animations such as "Clever Wang Erxiao" and "Wise Sandezi", although the ratings did not reach the level of "Smart Yixiu", the situation was not bad.
Therefore, it is expected that CCTV will follow the trend of Liu Wei's production, but what Liu Wei didn't expect was that Liu Zhijiang asked for his opinion.
The problem is that Liu Wei himself is a plagiarist, except for the understanding of originality when making it, what other good opinions are there!
But since people asked, Liu Wei can't say that he is plagiarizing.
Liu Wei could only stubbornly talk nonsense to Liu Zhijiang: "I think if it is this kind of mechanical style combat animation, if you want to do a good job, you have to really go to the machinery factory to collect wind and understand, it is best to have the participation of mechanical engineers! ”
Liu Zhijiang nodded over there and said, "You're right, I haven't had an idea before, so I've found a little direction for you to say that!" Okay, I know, there's nothing else to do, you can get busy first." I'll hang up first!
"Goodbye, goodbye!"
After hanging up a little, Liu Wei looked at the phone a little incredulous, so Liu Zhijiang believed it, is he talking nonsense?
However, Liu Wei didn't bother, shook his head, and prepared to send his film to the Oscar jury to try to participate in the Oscar's Best Animation Award.
Before it was delivered, Liu Wei carefully watched the cartoon he shot again, and after selection, Liu Wei decided to send the first episode to the jury for review, but Liu Wei was also going to attach the other episodes as reference materials.
When everyone heard that Liu Wei was about to send "Transformers" to the Oscars, everyone was also extremely excited, and they were all looking forward to what it would be like to stand on the top podium of the Oscars if they could win the award.
After that, "Transformers" continued to be broadcast on CCTV, and Lin Jiaying also went to Yanjing to discuss with Liu Wei about toy making.
This time Liu Wei went to pick up the plane in person, Lin Jiaying got off the plane and saw Liu Wei greeting him, the chubby face showed a smile, opened his arms to greet Liu Wei, and walked this way, saying in his mouth: "Liu Xiansen, I don't see you for a while!"
Liu Wei and Lin Jiaying hugged and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, how about it, have you gained anything from meeting Hong Kong Island this time?"
"What's the gain, but the department has been reprimanded by the old man a few times! Oh, oops, let's not talk about this, let's talk about the relationship about the "Transformers" toys that Lei said before!" Lin Jiaying frowned when he heard Liu Wei say this, and said to Liu Wei.
When Liu Wei saw this, he knew that Lin Jiaying must not be living so comfortably on Hong Kong Island, so he changed the topic and said to Lin Jiaying: "This is a plan I made before, you can take a look at it first." ”
As he spoke, Liu Wei handed Lin Jiaying a document that had been formulated in advance.
Lin Jiaying took it, flipped through it, looked up and said to Liu Wei: "Let's go to the company first, and then go back first." ”
Liu Wei nodded and Lin Jiaying got out of the airport, got in the car, and headed towards the company.
In other words, although Lin Jiaying is a shareholder, it is the first time to go to the company!
At first, Lin Jiaying was a little puzzled when he saw the driver looking at the suburbs, but after seeing the appearance of an abandoned factory, he frowned, thinking about whether to go to the company and discuss with Liu Wei and choose the company's address again.
However, when Lin Jiaying actually entered the company, he was stunned by the company's decoration.
How can Lin Jiaying be considered a rich man, what kind of luxurious decoration have you never seen?
But even so, it was still shocking to the company's environment.
The main tone of the faint sky blue, coupled with the warm Miyasui Sanye and Tachibana Taki's affectionate look, makes the whole room look so beautiful, plus the starry lights are fixed on the wall like little stars, and the whole room is decorated like a dream kingdom.
Liu Wei saw Lin Jiaying looking at the surrounding environment blankly, and said with a smile: "How about it, our company is well decorated!"
Lin Jiaying came back to his senses at this time, and said to Liu Wei excitedly: "Isn't it not just good, it's just amazing! This is designed by Lei himself?"
Liu Wei nodded and smiled proudly.
Lin Jiaying's chubby face was eager, and he said to Liu Wei: "Great, Lei Ke must design a set for the puppet! The puppet is also preparing to decorate the house here! It's best to wear this style!"
Now Liu Wei can be regarded as adapting to Lin Jiaying's Hong Kong Island-flavored Mandarin, but he still feels a little awkward.
Hearing Lin Jiaying say this, Liu Wei smiled bitterly and said: "I'm really sorry, look at me, how can I have time to do these things now, the production of "Transformers" is currently at a critical juncture, and there are still so many things to do in the copyright development in the future, it is really not enough time!
"Ah, that's it, it's okay, that even won't bother you! But even decided to move here to work in the future!"
As he spoke, he walked to the wall with the two portraits of Tachibana Taki and Miyasui Sanye and looked at it carefully.
