Chapter 010. There are thousands of roads

Xu Rui hadn't gone far before he was stopped by two classmates, and before he could explain clearly, he saw a man wearing a Tomato Video Network T-shirt walking towards him.

"You are Xu Rui?"

He asked, looking Xu Rui up and down.

"yes, what's the matter?"

Xu Rui probably heard a few words from his classmates and knew that the other party was an employee of Tomato Video Network.

"My name is Liu Xueyan, and I am the person in charge of the animation area of Tomato Video Network, which is my business card."

Liu Xueyan saw that Xu Rui was not in a hurry, and he felt a little steady, he handed over his business card and repeated what he had said before.

"So, your animation area is still responsible for recruiting people from the production department?"

Xu Rui is also a person who has lived two lifetimes, and he can be Liu Xueyan's father together, so naturally he was not so nervous, but ridiculed.

"Well, this is our boss's order, he's in charge of video and animation, and I was the first to discover the Voice of the Stars."

Liu Xueyan thought to himself that this little classmate was really a little different, ordinary graduates saw him, not to mention respectful, at least trembling, but this Xu Rui still had the leisure to joke, and his words revealed a sense of confidence, from this point of view, Liu Xueyan also felt that he would be a character in the future.

"What do you think of the Star Voice?"

Xu Rui nodded and added.

"Since you're the editor of the animation section, it's best to give some professional advice."

"Well, I think it's very well done, the art style is realistic, it attracts the audience's attention with very beautiful scenery, erases the defects of too many still pictures, although the storyboard is simple, but the focus is highlighted, especially in the last paragraph, the monologue of the male and female protagonists is independent and blended together, and the details of the relationship between the two people are outlined in a few strokes."

Liu Xueyan thought for a moment and replied.

"The overall story is the biggest highlight, this kind of cosmic scale story is honestly rarely seen, most of the animation with the universe as the stage is in the form of space opera, in fact, the story of the earth is put in the starry sky."

Thinking of some previous mecha animations, Liu Xueyan continued.

"But the sound of the stars is different, this is a story that does apply the background of the universe, whether it is the communication delay caused by the distance of light years, or the relativistic effect, it has obvious science fiction color, which is the most valuable, under the framework of rationality but there is a delicate and perceptual thinking in it, the impact of the two is unprecedented, this is the reinterpretation of traditional science fiction thinking in a new genre."

Hearing Liu Xueyan's answer, Xu Rui nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, a professional animation editor."

"Uh......"

Liu Xueyan twitched the corner of his mouth, obviously he was the applicant, how did he feel like this Xu Rui was testing himself, who was interviewing whom?

“...... Therefore, Rainbow Media is interested in signing a contract with you in advance, which is a great opportunity. ”

"Okay, I'll think about it."

Xu Rui's seemingly unthinking answer choked Liu Xueyan again.

This guy really likes to talk to death!

Liu Xueyan secretly sighed, if it was someone else, even Zhang Ran, who Professor Zhou was optimistic about just now, was also moved in the face of Rainbow Media's offer, so he almost knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank him, it is said that he was already the best student in this year, but this Xu Rui actually said "consider considering"?

No, shouldn't you just say yes excitedly?

Liu Xueyan quickly thought that Xu Rui may be pretending to be calm, in order to maintain a confident personality, in fact, Xu Rui's psychology has already been dancing in the house, and Liu Xueyan has seen a lot of this kind of strong person in the interview.

"Our invitation is time-limited, if you are sure, we can sign a tripartite agreement today, if you miss it, Rainbow Media will not be so easy to enter."

So Liu Xueyan emphasized, lest Xu Rui pretend to be too flattering at both ends.

"Well, then I won't sign it."

Xu Rui said that he really didn't seem to value Rainbow Media's invitation very much.

"Okay, then let's hurry up...... Wait, what do you say? ”

Liu Xueyan originally thought that Xu Rui put down his reserve and nodded in agreement, but he heard a completely different reply.

"I won't sign Rainbow Media, editor Liu Xueyan."

Xu Rui repeated it, convincing Liu Xueyan that he was not hallucinating.

But at the same time, Liu Xueyan began to doubt life.

A little-known undergraduate graduate turned down the offer of Rainbow Media, one of the strongest animation production companies in the industry, so indifferently.

"Are you serious?"

Liu Xueyan confirmed, while Xu Rui glanced at him, as if caring for a person with a hearing impairment.

"Or let's put it this way, editor, I joined Rainbow Media this year, can you let me be a director directly?"

Xu Rui thought for a moment and asked.

"This is definitely not good, you should start from the most basic animator when you enter Rainbow Media, and then the original painting, performance, as for the director, you must have at least five to seven years of industry experience, this is only the level of episode director, if you want to take charge of a work independently, you don't have ten years of experience, no outstanding results, don't even think about it."

Liu Xueyan had a general understanding of the situation of Rainbow Media, so he said.

"I know what you think, do you think that you can have hundreds of thousands of views on a random video, and a bunch of people praise it is very powerful, I feel that I don't want to start from the bottom of the original painting, I want to climb to the sky in one step, this is impossible in the animation industry, just take the simplest qualifications, do you have the confidence to suppress those old fritters who have been in the industry for more than ten years?"

"I'm confident."

Xu Rui's words made Liu Xueyan almost out of breath, but before Liu Xueyan could reply, Xu Rui spoke again.

"But I don't think Rainbow Media has confidence, if you really talk about the quality of the work, then even newcomers in the industry may create miracles, but Rainbow Media is a big company, and it is impossible for a large company to have such a miracle."

Thinking of the experience of his previous life, Xu Rui let out an undetectable sigh.

This sigh made Liu Xueyan a little frightened, because what Xu Rui said was the current situation in the animation industry.

Large companies can produce a lot of animation every year, but these animations are almost all industrial products that are processed according to the program, and there have been no refreshing animations for several years, and the audience's attention has shifted from the characters to the paintings, which is why "Voice of the Stars" can spark such a wide range of discussions, because this animation is extremely unique and makes people see something different.

But at the same time, Liu Xueyan also understands that no matter how talented Xu Rui is in front of him, he is just an insignificant chess piece in Rainbow Media, and it is impossible to get ahead without five or six years, and in this process, many originally talented people may have been smoothed out.

Xu Rui has strength now, but whether he can play it depends on luck.

"Okay, I know what you mean."

Liu Xueyan shook his head, thought about it and said.

"If you have any ideas, or change your mind, you can call me directly."

"Okay."

Xu Rui smiled, waved his hand, and was about to turn around and leave, when Liu Xueyan stopped him again.

"I'm a little curious, what kind of animation do you want to make, so much so that I don't want to wait for a few years of polishing at Rainbow Media."

Faced with Liu Xueyan's question, Xu Rui stopped, turned around, and said with an understatement.

"I just want to make animations that people find interesting, that's all."

Then he left quickly, leaving Liu Xueyan alone in place, wanting to say something, but couldn't say anything.
