"Absolutely."

Xu Rui originally thought that Zhou Hongyu would interview Wuyi as soon as possible, but he soon found that the martial arts director, who had already won the fourth annual animation in his life at a young age, had long been surrounded by reporters, and Zhou Hongyu was afraid that it would be difficult for him to do an interview as a reporter from Ningjiang TV Station like last year, so he found Xu Rui.

The two of them went to the bar in the corner of the ballroom, where there were many private seats, which seemed to be for private meetings with guests.

Finding two opposite positions to sit down, Zhou Hongyu took out a voice recorder, and then asked.

"Director Xu Rui, we all know that this time "Soul Eater: Zero" was also nominated for Animation of the Year, but it missed out, what do you think of this result, do you feel unwilling or regretful?"

Her first question was a little sharp, Xu Rui smiled and replied.

"It's impossible to say that there are no regrets at all, after all, this is the highest award in the Chinese animation industry, but for a rookie animator, being able to be shortlisted is already a compliment, and it can only be said that the martial arts director's "Iron Magician" is indeed impeccable, and he deserves this award."

Hearing Xu Rui's answer, Zhou Hongyu nodded slightly, through this question, she roughly determined the direction of the next inquiry, if Xu Rui himself is an arrogant person, then Zhou Hongyu will start to ask questions about Xu Rui himself, trying to dig out some explosive points, but if Xu Rui is as his words say, relatively calm, then Zhou Hongyu will start from the aspect of works.

The two also talked about Xu Rui's creative experience, the creation of "Soul Eater: Zero" and other popular content.

Xu Rui and Zhou Hongyu talked and laughed happily, and his natural and steady attitude impressed Zhou Hongyu deeply.

Originally, Zhou Hongyu thought that as a rookie director who had made such a big move in the animation industry just one year after graduation, Xu Rui should either be as uninhibited and arrogant as a martial arts director, or he would be as timid as an ordinary newcomer in the workplace.

Unexpectedly, Xu Rui is like an industry veteran who has been trained for many years, and it is not difficult to communicate with him at all, Xu Rui understands the key points of the reporter's questions and gives satisfactory answers, Zhou Hongyu even has a feeling that he and Xu Rui have already rehearsed the interview.

"Speaking of which, I've also watched the recent "Unnatural Death" of Phantom Animation, and the plot is very moving, and this animation also touches on a special profession like forensic medicine that has not been mentioned in the animation industry in the past, I don't know what your idea is for creating this animation?"

Zhou Hongyu flipped through his interview notes and asked.

"Well, first of all, this is an animation about the work of forensic doctors, so naturally we have to start with the cases that forensic doctors encounter every day, and secondly, I want the audience to feel the emotions that forensic doctors usually feel rather than suspenseful stories, and people always have to think about life and death, so I think it is more valuable to explore the story behind death than to discuss death itself."

Xu Rui paused, took a sip of hot coffee, and then replied.

"Compared with the pain and hatred caused by death, I want the audience to feel the warmth contained in it, just like at the end of "Soul Eater: Zero", Huangfu Xun's feelings for Li Leshen are not hatred and jealousy, but love."

"From this point of view, Director Xu Rui, your current three works, it seems that the endings are all moving, is this your creative concept?"

Zhou Hongyu asked.

"Yes, I've always wanted to make heart-warming animations, some people want others to laugh when they see their work, some people want the audience to think, and some people try to make people's blood boil, my idea is very simple, I hope that the audience who has seen my work can feel warmth, love and hope."

Xu Rui smiled and continued.

"To be honest, I think the title of Warrior of Love is more suitable for me than any animation master, a rising star director."

"Warrior of Love?"

Zhou Hongyu was slightly confused and tilted his head.

......

It was already ten o'clock after the dinner ended, Xu Rui drove Guo Weiren and Su Liyu home first, and then came to the place where Yi Qianqian and his friends had a tea party, and waited for a while before driving Yi Qianqian back to his home in Ningjiang New District.

Attending the dinner and dealing with the reporters after Xu Rui was very tired, and he was glad that he chose to fill his stomach first.

After washing, the two of them rested separately, and there was still one day of comic con tomorrow, Xu Rui decided to go to the booths of major video websites to see the situation.

In the middle of the night, news about the annual animation awards ceremony was quickly written by returning reporters in major media outlets, among which the articles published on Ningjiang TV's Weibo were unique.

Compared with many similar news interviews with martial arts directors, this Weibo published an interview with Xu Rui.

The title is "From the Sea of Stars to the Delicate Daily, Xu Rui: I Want to Make Heart-Warming Animation".

This article is basically the interview between Zhou Hongyu and Xu Rui after a certain amount of collation, with some background introduction, there is no artistic processing in the whole article, it is a very simple Q&A.

Among them, Xu Rui's passages about his own creative ideas have aroused discussions among netizens.

On the A2 forum, there were dozens of replies to the post that reprinted the article.

[yaoniming300]: The heart-warming animation is okay, these animations are clearly cold and sadistic.

[Firepower Superman]: I think he is right, from "Voice of the Stars" to "Unnatural Death", although the process is a bit abusive, but in the end it can still be touching, and this kind of moving is not simply relying on the dead to abuse the audience, but using family affection, love, which are easy to resonate with the elements to move, after reading these works, I will not feel desperate sadness, but a touch of warmth, it is indeed a work that warms people's hearts and heals the soul.

[Warm and cold at first]: Having said so much, is "Madoka Magical Girl" also a healing work, although this theme is just like that, but I don't want to see the silly and sweet daily life of a few little girls, or a more exciting plot is suitable for me.

[Dawn]: No, you see that Hollow who designed the "Unknown Nightmare" series still thinks this animation will be very innocent and cute in the production team? I'm afraid that Xu Rui is going to shoot a magical girl with a heavy taste.

[Squirrel Eats Jelly]: Alas,The recent animations are all fighting and killing.,I just want to watch some heart-warming works.,Now I'm waiting for October's "Madoka Magica" to heal my wounded heart.,Anyway, do you know which website this animation is broadcast on?

Xu Rui didn't see these comments, because he had received several calls, calls from several different video sites, although the tone and words were different, but they basically all mean the same thing, that is, the price of the broadcast rights of "Madoka Magical Girl" is too high, and if the phantom TV does not lower the offer, it may consider not purchasing, or delaying the purchase of this animation.

Xu Rui knew that this was just a faint thunder before the storm.
