Chapter 044. Xu Rui's own opinion
"Huh?"
Xu Rui was suddenly called, a little confused.
He looked at these people, they obviously didn't expect to see Xu Rui, let alone that this guy who seemed to be familiar with him would ask such a question.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Shen Fugui, from Sichuan and Shu, you must have watched "The Little Master of the Kitchen", that is made by my company."
The man who called himself Shen Fugui smiled heartily, revealing a pair of good teeth.
"Uh, hello."
Of course, Xu Rui didn't mention that he hadn't watched the animation "Little Master Chef" at all, and he responded to the road.
"Compared with big companies like Rainbow Media and Mushroom Pictures, we small animation companies should unite and not let the annual animation awards be monopolized by these big companies."
Shen Fugui said with emotion.
"But behind this award is the sponsorship of Tomato Video Network and Mushroom Video Network......"
Xu Rui muttered in a low voice, but Shen Fugui didn't hear it clearly.
"You are the focus of our discussion, relying on your personal animation to become famous, and opening your own animation company, it is really a legendary experience, similar to me."
Shen Fugui didn't seem to think too much, he patted Xu Rui's shoulder and said with appreciation.
"Which one do you think should be the anime of the year this year?"
"I think ......"
Xu Rui glanced at the others, and they all seemed to have nothing to do with Shen Fugui, so they had to pretend to think for a while, and then spoke.
"I think this year's animation of the year should be "Innocent Teacher and Pretty Student".
"yes, I also think that this year's animation of the year must be "My Hero Home...... What are you talking about? ”
Shen Fugui originally nodded in agreement, but it wasn't until he heard Xu Rui's words clearly that he was a little caught off guard and asked with wide eyes, and subconsciously ran out of his hometown.
"Although "My Family of Heroes" is also very good, we should see that its excellence is based on originality, not animation."
Xu Rui paused and explained.
"Usually we think that original animation is more difficult to do than adapted animation, which is a reasonable cognition, because original animation has to build a story from scratch, and there are too many things to consider, but we should also think the other way around, the plot of original animation is only known to the production team, and for the audience, there is a natural sense of expectation accumulation, especially the original animation with plot twists and turns, and the audience's expectations for this work will be higher and higher."
When several animators heard what Xu Rui said, they couldn't help but fall into thought.
"As long as it can be self-consistent, then the possibilities of original animation are unlimited, and several original works directed by Lee so-ming have such high ratings by raising the audience's sense of expectation and satisfying them in unexpected ways."
Xu Rui continued, he saw that Shen Fugui's expression was a little dull, and he didn't seem to have rounded the bend yet.
"Compared with adapted animation, original animation is more like a wonderful book that no one has read yet, fascinating, and it is easy for people to ignore some flaws, but adapted animation is like a masterpiece imitation that has been placed in the hands of a professional appraiser, and any flaws will be magnified. From the audience's point of view, of course, it is difficult to make an original work, but from the perspective of an animator, it is very difficult to make an adaptation well. ”
"Does that make sense?"
A man touched his chin and said.
"Back to the work, "Innocent Teacher and Pretty Student" not only perfectly restores the original comics, but also adds a lot of details, cleverly depicting many scenes and narratives that are difficult to express in animation, such as using a large number of words to float over for psychological description, such as letting the two parties have some interesting and character-appropriate interactions when the two have a long conversation, which are not in the original work, but the animation production team uses these to make the animation more beautiful, and at the same time, these skills are universal and can be imitated in other animations."
Xu Rui said while recalling the animations he had studied before.
"Although the story of "My Hero Family" is fascinating, it is actually very problematic, the gimmick at the beginning of the story is that the protagonist does not have any superpowers and relies on intelligence to defeat the enemy, but in the later part of the story, such a protagonist is obviously unable to fight against more and more powerful enemies, so the production team introduced the protagonist's grandfather and somehow transmitted the superpower to the protagonist, of course, this is already the end of the story, using various foreshadowing to create a huge climax, and the audience will subconsciously ignore this, But this is always a setting contradiction in animation production, and it is also a change in the core idea of the story, and the deduction point of "My Hero Family" is here. ”
Spreading out his hand, Xu Rui said again.
"If there is a second season of "My Family of Heroes", then this problem will become more and more obvious, in the royal road battle animation where the combat power is constantly escalating to meet the expectations of readers, it is quite difficult to depict the protagonist who is weak but relies on intelligence to defeat the enemy, and I can only wish them good luck."
Xu Rui's analysis was long, which made those people stunned.
"Listening to you say that, "My Hero Family" does seem to be a bit out of place, no wonder I have a strange feeling when I watch the last plot."
Shen Fugui clapped his palms and said as if he suddenly realized.
"Then according to what you say, wouldn't the original animation suffer a lot in this kind of selection, and I want to make the next animation original."
"Actually, according to my analysis of past works, the Animation of the Year Award will not add points for original animation, nor will it be subtracted for adapted animation, and there is only one selection criterion from beginning to end."
Xu Rui shrugged.
"What is it?"
Several people asked in unison, looking at Xu Rui.
"As long as it's funny animation."
Xu Rui looked at the stage in front of the banquet hall, at this time, the hosts had already come to the stage, ready to carry out the award ceremony.
"Oh, oh no, I forgot, everyone, I'll miss first."
Xu Rui then remembered that Yi Qianqian was still eating, and he hurriedly returned to the dining table, only to find that Yi Qianqian was still eating a large meal elegantly and reliably, and next to her, a man in a casual suit was eating chicken legs in embarrassment.
"Sister Qianqian, this is ...... Martial arts director? ”
Xu Rui recognized the other party, it was the head director of Rainbow Media, Wu Yi.
The young man was like a prisoner who had been hungry for more than ten days, tearing off the meat from the chicken leg and pouring red wine at the same time, completely ignoring his own image.
"Ah, isn't this Xu Rui, what a coincidence, we met again, do you want to come and eat, I will eat this hotel's roast chicken leg every year."
He picked one up and handed it to Xu Rui, and after being politely refused, he put it in his mouth.
"Is that really okay?"
Xu Rui looked around, and many people's eyes had already looked over, but there was no one from Rainbow Media to hold the martial arts, so he just let him eat and drink.
At this time, the host and invited guests on the stage just announced the winning works of the year's animation.
