Chapter 258. Two theatrical versions

Of course, Xu Rui and Yi Qianqian went to Jingping not only for the newlyweds, they went to the palace in Jingping to investigate, and according to Xu Rui's ideas, they took a walk around the famous attractions of this historic city.

After the long holiday in October, after returning to Ningjiang, Xu Rui saw martial arts.

He completed the entry procedures at this time, and the location of the desk was on the second floor, near Xu Rui.

As for the old subordinates of Wuyi, they are also joining one after another.

Before he could figure out what he should do, Wuyi received Xu Rui's invitation to make it.

"Theatrical animation?"

Wu Yi touched his chin and thought about the plan Xu Rui had just told him.

Although Xu Rui said that Wuyi will become the second production team of Phantom Electric Animation, with the right to independently produce animation, but on the one hand, Wuyi is short of manpower, and there are many old employees who are willing to leave with him to come to Phantom Electric Animation, but it is still a bit too ideal to want to take the whole group to jump ship together, and animation production is not something that can be completed by a dozen people, and the new team of Wuyi is in the run-in period, and there is no way to animate for a while.

On the other hand, Xu Rui's theatrical animated film does need manpower, unlike the theatrical version of "Madoka Magica", this one is a completely newly produced original animation, which needs to start from the character design, preliminary preparation, and the joining of martial arts, which can undoubtedly make the quality of the work to a higher level.

Xu Rui's last consideration is that the cooperation between the two well-known directors can have a strong publicity effect and attract more people to the cinema to watch the movie.

For these reasons, he invited Wu Yi to participate in the year-long animated film production program, allowing him to build his own team while participating in the production.

Wu Yi has never directed animated films, he has only been responsible for the production of some animated films when he was the original artist and performer, and Xu Rui invited him to become an assistant director to coordinate a certain amount of performance and storyboard design.

In China, animated movies are not popular genre films, mainly for two reasons, one is that most of the animated films released in cinemas are sequels of TV animation, which are naturally exclusive, and almost all of them are fan-oriented movies.

The second is the problem of the scale of screening, which has a certain relationship with theaters, film and television companies, and distributors, in short, in addition to companies like Suoren Mutual Entertainment that have their own film and television distributors, animated films of old animation companies such as Rainbow Media and Mushroom Pictures can only be scheduled in small-scale theaters, and the final box office is naturally not high, forming a cycle.

The movie "Madoka Magical Girl" is a work that perfectly meets these two points, as a sequel to the TV version, and at the same time, it is only screened in some big cities above the third tier, even if the word of mouth explodes, the final box office is slightly more miserable than those popcorn blockbusters.

And Xu Rui's new plan is to challenge this situation.

"Two works......"

In the hands of Wu Yi is the plan given by Xu Rui, which contains two works, one of which is about 50 minutes long, not in theaters, only broadcast exclusively on the Chuyin Video Network network, this work, Xu Rui in addition to providing the initial script of the story, will be mainly responsible for Wu Yi.

The second work is a movie officially released in theaters, with a duration of 100 minutes, and this one is mainly responsible for Xu Rui, and Wu Yi is the supervisor.

The production of the two works is carried out at the same time,The short story in charge of Wu Yi is expected to be broadcast in June next year,Xu Rui's work will be in late August of the following year,The two works are released one year apart,Considering the length and production period,If you add the second season of "Music Girl", then in the first half of next year, the phantom animation is equivalent to three opens.

Wu Yi opened the script of the work he was responsible for, which is a quite realistic story.

The male protagonist is a student, every rainy season, he will habitually skip class, come to the lake in the middle of the city, the hero's dream is to become a shoe designer, when skipping class, he will be by the lake, with his sketchbook to design.

But one day, when he came to the pavilion that belonged to him, he found an elderly woman sitting there, eating chocolate and drinking beer, looking idle.

Over time, the two who met by chance from time to time began to communicate, and the male protagonist gradually developed a hazy adolescent impression of this woman who was much older than him, and even wanted to help each other make a pair of shoes to secretly express his heart.

But later, the male protagonist found out that the woman turned out to be a teacher at his school, he felt that he had been deceived, and the teacher also politely rejected the male protagonist's wishes, and in the end, the male protagonist left alone.

But at this time, the heroine suddenly figured out her mood, she chased after her, and the two finally hugged each other.

At the end of the story, the heroine goes to a distant place to continue teaching because of work, while the male protagonist continues to move forward towards his dream, and both of them work hard to be better when they meet next time, and the story ends abruptly.

After reading Wuyi, there is almost no line description, no detailed plot, just a story idea of the script, and the first thing that comes to mind is "The Voice of the Star", a work in which Xu Rui became famous.

Although this story does not have any science fiction elements, the core of the story is similar to "The Voice of the Stars", with a certain "distance" emotion.

In "The Voice of the Stars", two like-minded people are separated by a distance of several light years, and even the radio waves of confession are blown away by the universe.

In this work, although the two people have the same heart, the gap between identity and age makes them far away, and at the end of the story, the two are not together, but only give an open ending.

Wuyi is a little curious, why Xu Rui likes this theme so much, but in terms of the overall story, Wuyi thinks it's not bad.

Of course, martial arts is best at imaginative themes of different worlds, whether it is "Iron Magician" or "City of Giants", they are stories that are very different from modern life, and the "Innocent Teacher and Pretty Student" he is responsible for also has an exaggerated imaginative style, this kind of deeper, delicate, and restrained modern story, martial arts have not tried too much.

But it is precisely like this, Wuyi feels that it is a challenge, if a director can only shoot in the other world, then he is not a qualified excellent director, Wuyi itself is not very rich in emotional life, and his wife is a classmate in college, so for this delicate emotional story, he is not much sure at the same time, but also eager to try.

It's like a master who has achieved fame and suddenly comes to a completely new field, and even reminds Wu Yi of the throbbing mood when he was in charge of directing his first work.

Therefore, after receiving Xu Rui's invitation, Wu Yi thought twice and finally decided to take over the directorship of this work.

On October 12th, the official Weibo of Phantom Electric Animation issued an announcement, announcing that Wuyi officially joined Phantom Electric Animation, and also announced his first work in Phantom Animation, the director and main performance of this work is martial arts, and the script and performance overhaul are Xu Rui, which is a theatrical animated film that will be screened on the first sound video network.

The title of the work is "The Garden of Words".
