A few days ago.

It was another day as always, Yan Zhe dragged his heavy steps home, his wife hadn't gotten off work yet, only his eight-year-old son had finished school and was obediently doing homework in his room.

This two-bedroom apartment in the suburbs of Ningjiang is not large, but fortunately, the room faces south and can be brighter.

Yan Zhe put down his briefcase and sat on the sofa, exhaustion and fatigue suddenly invaded him, causing him to fall asleep.

In the dream, Yan Zhe seems to have returned to that glorious and struggling era, those days of hard work in phantom animation.

Yan Zhe did photography in Phantom Electric Animation, in the celluloid era, photography was basically to take a camera to shoot the colored celluloid version, in order to prevent the heat of the light from melting the celluloid, you need to keep the fan on, and the conditions are extremely difficult.

But photography is also an important part of animation production, whether it is the sparkling lake in "Little Deer Chachi", or the scene in "Sky Warrior" that violently shakes because of the explosion, these special effects work is completed by photography, and now, in the digital era, photography is more known as post-production special effects, Yan Zhe did not stay in the animation industry after leaving Phantom Electric Animation, but followed his wife's idea and went to a film and television company as a post-production director.

Originally, Yan Zhe thought that he would be able to show his strength in a new field, but the company's failed film investment caused the entire company to have a tight budget and laid off many people.

The current movie doesn't need such a delicate post-production, just find a few handsome boys to shoot for dozens of minutes with stiff acting skills is enough to attract fans to pay, although Yan Zhe is not particularly hard at work, but he is extremely tired mentally, because he can't see the future.

When he woke up, Yan Zhe found that he had a blanket on his body at some point, and the sound of stir-frying came from the kitchen, and a burst of fragrance came.

The wife then came out of the kitchen with a plate of dishes, and when she saw that Yan Zhe had woken up, she beckoned him to come and eat.

"Okay."

Yan Zhe was active, turned on the TV casually, and tuned to the channel of Ningjiang TV, after the news was the TV series that his wife was watching, and he also watched the news by the way at this time.

A family of three sat at the dining table in the living room to eat, fried bacon with garlic, shredded potatoes with vinegar, and a pot of green vegetable soup, simple, but the taste of home.

There were a few news broadcasts, Yan Zhe listened without a word, while listening to his wife and children, at this time, a piece of news flashed, which made Yan Zhe prick up his ears.

“...... Ningjiang University Animation School held a graduation ceremony today, it is reported that seventy percent of the college's graduates have found a job, three percent choose to study, and some students choose to start their own businesses. ”

Yan Zhe couldn't help but look over, after many years, hearing the word animation could still stir his nerves, he turned his head and saw that in the middle of the picture, on the rostrum, a boy in a bachelor's uniform was speaking.

“...... After I graduated, the first thing I wanted to do was to rebuild the company and inherit the company......"

Bang Dang –

The chopsticks fell on the table, and Yan Zhe looked at the student on the rostrum in a daze, until the screen switched to other news.

"Phantom ......"

Yan Zhe muttered to himself, as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard.

Someone wants to reconstruct the phantom electric animation, and this person is none other than Xu Kexin's son, Xu Rui, who is always talked about by the boss although almost no one in the company has seen it!

Buzz –

In an instant, Yan Zhe felt the blood hit his eardrum, the piercing beep replaced all the sounds, and his exhausted body trembled uncontrollably as if it had been electrocuted, and Yan Zhe could clearly hear his heartbeat.

The muddy life, the days with no future in sight, and the dreams that have long been dimmed, at this moment, are all replaced by brilliant memories.

Yan Zhe couldn't wait to go out immediately to find this Xu Rui, but when he came back to his senses and looked at his wife and children, Yan Zhe hesitated again, he sat back, life no longer allowed him to chase his dream again, if he failed this time, he couldn't afford it at all, who was already more than thirty years old.

"What's wrong?"

The wife asked with concern, she also heard the name of the phantom anime, and quickly understood her husband's excitement.

"No, it's nothing, it's just a mistake."

Yan Zhe shook his head, and was about to perfunctory the past, but was held by his wife.

"I still have some savings here, although it's not much, but it's enough for us to live on for a while."

His wife looked at Yan Zhe and said seriously.

"You can go if you want."

"......"

Yan Zhe was a little surprised, he remembered that a long time ago, when they first got married, Yan Zhe wanted to jump from the original company to Phantom Electric, and his wife quarreled with him, although he finally compromised, but Yan Zhe always thought that his wife didn't like to do animation by himself.

"Do you remember when I didn't want you to go to Phantom to do animation, and I went back to my parents after we had a fight? I was very angry and told my parents about it, and you know what my dad said? ”

The wife paused, then continued.

"My dad said that men have men's dreams, and you won't understand them now."

“！！！”

Yan Zhe was shocked, he didn't expect that the old man who always seemed to dislike him before he got married would actually say such a thing, he looked at his wife, and was speechless for a while.

"I really didn't understand it at the time, but in the past few years, seeing your appearance, I think I understand a little bit."

The wife said, serious and focused.

......

On the same day, Guo Weiren, who got off work early, also saw this news.

He was already aware of the fact that someone wanted to recreate the electric animation, and he wasn't surprised at first.

It wasn't until Xu Rui on TV said that he wanted to inherit his father's career that Guo Weiren had some hindsight.

"He, he's Lao Xu's son?"

Guo Weiren asked rhetorically to himself, he immediately turned on the computer at home, crackled and searched for a string, and soon found a feature article on Weibo.

This is a special article on Ningjiang TV's official Weibo, the content is about the past and present life of Phantom Electric Animation and Xu Rui, the producer of the popular animation "Voice of the Star", the content is detailed, almost in line with everything Guo Weiren knows, when Guo Weiren saw it, the clicks had exceeded 200,000, and the retweets also exceeded 10,000.

"The Voice of the Stars" is really ?? he did"

Guo Weiren originally thought that at least a young talent of this level who had to be the producer of "Voice of the Stars" could revive the past glory of Phantom Animation, but he never thought that Xu Rui, who inherited Phantom Animation, would be this producer!

His hands trembled slightly, Guo Weiren was still in shock, but there was a call on his mobile phone.

"Yan Zhe?"

This is the number that has not been contacted by Guo Weiren for many years, but it is clearly displayed on Guo Weiren's mobile phone screen at the moment.

At the same time, on Guo Weiren's QQ, several avatars that have been gray for many years lit up at the same time.
