Chapter 004. "Voice of the Stars"
A high-end community in Ningjiang, in a 20-story building.
Bai Haoran stopped the brush in his hand, and in the display screen connected to the pen tablet was Lu Ming, the protagonist of the hottest animation "One Piece", which is an unfinished original painting, and the plot of it is about the animation content that should be broadcast in three weeks.
He is a freelance concept artist and is not affiliated with a production company, and this part of the original art is an order he receives.
The video on the side played last night's "One Piece", which is an episode with a fairly high quality painting, and Bai Haoran also appreciates it very much.
Tired of painting, he decided to rest for half an hour, so he clicked on the chat group.
As the saying goes, it's cool to touch the fish for a while, and it's always cool to touch the fish all the time.
Touching fish is the basic need of the most people, and he is no exception, Bai Haoran looked at a few groups that are usually only active during work hours, but found that they were all discussing a video.
"Ningda's biography display?"
Bai Haoran quickly reacted, and it was time for him.
Looking at the various praises of the group friends who forwarded it, Bai Haoran subconsciously resisted.
What kind of decent thing can a senior make in his or her year?
Not to mention anything else, Bai Haoran himself was a student of Ningbo University back then, and won the Outstanding Completion Award that year with a dynamic drag racing drama short film, and entered the industry by the trend.
Although there are some subjective first impressions in psychology, Bai Haoran still clicked on the video.
- There is a word called the world.
In the computer, a clear and innocent female voice came, this voice was so pure, it made Bai Haoran's eyes light up.
I saw that in a world of high-rise buildings and slow clouds, a short-haired girl wearing a student uniform was standing in place, holding an old straight-button mobile phone in her hand.
In the huge world, girls are alone, and the atmosphere of loneliness and loneliness is contagious all of a sudden.
INTERVIEWER I've always vaguely believed that the world is the place where radio waves can reach.
As the girl narrates, the picture passes through high-rise buildings, classrooms, and stations, and these pictures are extremely exquisite, so delicate that they are like photos, and they are so delicate that any screenshot can be used as a wallpaper.
Through this series of pictures without any background music, people also feel empathy, and gradually be enveloped by a kind of loneliness of greatness.
Then the next moment, the girl who was praying opened her eyes again, and the picture suddenly expanded.
The girl is in the control room of a huge robot, surrounded by a sea of stars.
As the screen gets smaller, the title of the film appears with piano accompaniment.
"Voice of the Stars".
The next plot is supported by the heroine's monologue, from the interaction between the hero and heroine, to the separation, to the text message that takes eight years to send, the whole film lingers in a faint sentimental atmosphere, until the end, the heroine is attacked by the enemy, life and death are uncertain, and eight years later, the text message carrying the heroine's thoughts is finally conveyed to the hero's mobile phone.
The text message was only one sentence.
- Hello 24-year-old Ah Sheng, I'm 15-year-old Meijia, and I'm still fond of you.
The video has come to an end, but Bai Haoran is still immersed in the world of animation.
Whether it is the affection between the two characters, or the grand and lonely cosmic starry sky, and the unimaginable distance of light years, Bai Haoran is amazed.
This is really a story conceived by a college student!?
This kind of animation is what I want!!
Bai Haoran couldn't help but stand up and paced back and forth, as if he had returned to the time when he had just come into contact with animation production, that kind of longing, that kind of throbbing, he couldn't help himself.
There are two kinds of excellent works, one is to make other creators feel ashamed and can't help themselves after seeing it, and they want to tear down and redo everything they made.
The other is to make other creators ignite their creative hearts and want to make equally excellent works.
And "The Voice of the Stars" is undoubtedly the second type.
At this moment, Bai Haoran had thousands of inspirations in his heart, and he wished that he had the ability to realize his utopian dreams and realize them all.
In addition to sighing, Bai Haoran returned to the computer and clicked forward casually, his account on Tomato Video Network is called [Shepherd of the Library], which is a premium account with 300,000 followers, Bai Haoran added another comment, he couldn't hide his excitement, and he couldn't wait to show this video to everyone he knew!

Somewhere in China, in a university dormitory, Luo Hongwei had just lost a game, and his mood was a little bleak.
After taking a sip of water, he looked at the time and decided to eat dinner first.
Hot water instant noodles and ham sausages, skillfully preparing dinner, while waiting, Luo Hongwei opened the tomato video network, wanting to see if the bloggers he followed had any updates.
As soon as he refreshed, he saw that one of the animation bloggers he followed, [Shepherd of the Library], had reposted an animated short.
"Voice of the stars? How do you feel so pretentious, I'm afraid it's not the kind of film that is really messy in your circle. ”
Luo Hongwei likes to watch hot-blooded animation, the story of friendship and hard work to win makes his blood boil, and the ID of his game also comes from Lu Ming, the protagonist of "One Piece", because there are too many duplicate names, so his ID is Lu Ming 33,.
For the kind of girl animation that twists and pinches and talks about feelings, Luo Hongwei scoffs.
But since it was recommended by [The Shepherd of the Library], he just took a look at it.
Clicking on the play button, Luo Hongwei was immediately attracted by the exquisite picture, and when the film ended, he was still stunned in place, and a feeling of loss that he had never felt before overflowed in his chest, which made Luo Hongwei want to cry without tears, so he could only hold it in his heart, in the words of his hometown, it was heart-piercing.
Luo Hongwei had never been in love, but he felt the taste of falling out of love, and he was stunned for a long time before he finally came back to his senses and remembered his instant noodles.
The dough was really mushy.
......
In the library of a university in Huaguo, Geng Chaoyang stretched his waist, he took out his mobile phone, and wanted to swipe Weibo to be lazy.
Flipping through some Weibo posts that retweeted photos of cats and dogs, Geng Chaoyang saw a reposted video.
The comment given by the blogger who retweeted it was "the most distant long-distance relationship in history", which touched Geng Chaoyang's heart a little.
He had a very good female classmate in high school, and the two often studied together, and made an appointment to go to the same university.
It's a pity that Geng Chaoyang failed the college entrance examination and was only admitted to a second-rate university, the reason why he studied so hard was all to be admitted to the graduate school where the girl was going and complete the agreement of the year, and it was because of the encouragement of the other party that Geng Chaoyang was able to persevere.
Now seeing this comment about a long-distance relationship, he suddenly felt a lot, hurriedly took out his headphones, and watched this ten-minute animated video.
The exquisite picture, the plot full of light sadness, and the huge gap in helpless reality, all had a strong resonance in Geng Chaoyang's heart, and this resonance even broke through Geng Chaoyang's psychological defense, making him burst into tears on the spot.
Geng Chaoyang buried his head in his arms, his body trembled slightly, and tears couldn't stop pouring out, and the bits and pieces of the past few years converged into a raging tsunami, slapping his heart one after another.
When the mood eased slightly, Geng Chaoyang ghostly reposted the Weibo of this video, and @That girl.
A moment, or a long time later, Geng Chaoyang's mobile phone shook, and it was a reply from the other party, which was very short, only one sentence.
- I'll wait for you.
......
Such scenes took place in various parts of China, and through various social platforms, "Voice of the Stars" spread like a virus.
