Tom pinched Jerry's tail and pulled it into the distance and suddenly let go, under the action of inertia, Jerry buried his head and rushed forward, just when he thought he could escape smoothly, Tom smiled in front of him and opened his big mouth, waiting for Jerry to take the initiative to rush into its mouth.

After drawing Jerry's frightened expression, Jiang Xia put down his pen, withdrew from that state of high concentration, picked up the water cup and took a sip, and found that the boiling water he poured before had become cold.

"Can you show me?" Li Weiya spoke softly.

Suddenly there was a sound, Jiang Xia reflexively shuddered, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Li Weiya standing behind him.

"Did it scare you? I'm sorry, but I didn't bother you when I came in and had nothing to do, but I found out that you were drawing very seriously, so I didn't bother you. She smiled.

Jiang Xia scratched his head and hurriedly handed over all the original paintings that had been drawn.

"Mr. Li, please take a look."

Li Weiya was slightly helpless: "Jiang Xia, don't be so polite with me." ”

As an animation practitioner, her brain has automatically seamlessly connected the content of the drawing paper, and even made up the middle frame of the animation, making the picture run more smoothly.

"I didn't believe Wang Ming when he told me just now that you were doing animation, but it turned out to be true." Her tone was slightly amazed.

Through Fang Cai's observation, Li Weiya found that Jiang Xia's basic skills are more solid than some professional original artists, and the emotions of the characters are portrayed very well, and she can understand what is happening between the cat and the mouse without the need for lines, and the painting speed is fast, and many lines are drawn in one stroke.

You must know that such people are often senior bosses who have been immersed in the industry for more than ten years, and all this is actually reflected in a high school student who was still studying painting with her not long ago.

"It's a nice drawing." Li Weiya flipped through the original painting in her hand again, and praised it without hesitation.

Jiang Xia continued to scratch his neck with some embarrassment: "Teacher Li, I'll just draw and play casually." ”

"I've made a proposal book, and it's not like it's just a casual drawing."

Li Weiya continued to smile and asked, "Can I read the proposal?" ”

"Yes."

He handed over the proposal and waited patiently for Mr. Li to read it, and he also wanted to know what a professional art supervisor would say about cats and mice.

Holding the storyboard, Li Weiya found a chair and sat down, gently pulled the hair hanging down from her ears, and looked at it carefully page by page.

Due to occupational diseases, she will subconsciously analyze the theme of the cat and mouse, as well as the hidden commercial value of this animation, and under the preliminary estimate, she can get a high expectation score in her heart.

Doesn't it mean that this animation has the potential to be popular?

After a long time, Li Weiya slowly raised her head: "The name of this animation is cat and mouse, right?" The idea is very good, using the hostile nature of animals to make a fun animation of love and killing, I think, your main portrayal is not the specific main line of the story, but the process of cat catching mice? ”

"Amazing, Mr. Li deserves to be a professional." Jiang Xia praised.

After all, from a professional point of view, this proposal is not comprehensive, except for the specific character design, the rest of the part only has a few superficial keyword descriptions.

If other animation directors had taken this proposal, they might have made a work with a core theme.

Being praised by her own students, Li Weiya always felt weird, but there was a joy of being recognized in her heart.

"Tell me, what exactly do you think?" She asked.

In fact, there is no specific main line of cat and mouse, this is a long-form unit drama animation, there is no connection between the upper and lower episodes, and there is just a cat and mouse playing around on various occasions. For example, Tom tries to catch Jerry, and Jerry will also rack his brains to resist to the end. ”

"Is that ......" Li Weiya frowned, "Have you ever thought that if there is no specific main line, it is equivalent to a new story in every episode, which will slow down the progress of production in many cases, after all, the day when the ideas in your head are used up." ”

Jiang Xia smiled: "Traditional animation is like this, a good storyline needs to be driven by the plot, and the plot is often led by the contradictions between the characters, but cats and mice are natural enemies, conflicts are born, they have 10,000 situations to fight, what I want to do is to show these 10,000 situations in an exaggerated situation, as for who loses and who wins, it doesn't matter." ”

Listening to his words, Li Weiya's eyes lit up.

"Just like the storyboard in the first episode, the mouse deliberately broke the utensils in the owner's house, and the cat was kicked out, and the next episode may be another one because of a piece of cheese, and the cat and mouse scuffle together again. They can be enemies or friends. ”

"Yes."

Jiang Xia shrugged: "Actually, I don't even have the idea of letting the master appear on camera, the fight between them is the most important thing, I didn't even think about any dubbing, in many cases, body language is much more efficient than all kinds of emotional lines." ”

Listening to his unique opinion, Li Weiya was amazed: "To be honest, I still can't believe that this is actually a work that a high school student who has studied painting for a few years can come up with." I'm already looking forward to you making the first episode, maybe it will soon attract a group of cat and mouse fans. At least I already am. ”

Jiang Xia was slightly surprised, she didn't expect that Li Weiya's evaluation of cats and mice was quite high, and sure enough, classics are classics no matter what era they come from.

"Speaking of which, how long does it take to make your seven-minute or so episode?"

"About, a month......" Jiang Xia said a more conservative number, he was worried that he would say it too short and scare Teacher Li.

"A month, it's a little slow, do you have any contact with other animation teams? If you can't find it, why don't you consider my company? After all, it is a well-known animation outsourcing company in the industry, and the quality is guaranteed. Li Weiya began to recommend her company with a smile.

Jiang Xia was helpless: "Mr. Li, you misunderstood, I can't afford to outsource animation or something, my plan is that the cat and mouse will be done by myself from beginning to end." ”

Hearing this, Li Weiya's eyes widened again, and she completed a high-quality feature-length animation independently? Can he really do it as a high school student? Still an episode a month?

"Jiang Xia, you may not know that animation production may not be as simple as you think, not just to make the painting move, but also all kinds of complex post-production."

"I know Mr. Li, I will do those, although it is a little troublesome, but fortunately, the technical aspect is not particularly difficult." He nodded.

The technical aspect is not particularly difficult......

Li Weiya twitched her cheeks, and wanted to say something again, but she finally held back.

She sighed, patted Jiang Xia on the shoulder, and slowly walked out of the room.

"Come on, I'm optimistic about you. Remember, dreams are made true. ”
