Chapter 278: Never Stop Fantasizing
To be honest, Xu Chuan didn't fantasize about going to the university to give lectures back then, but it was definitely not in the film school.
Because this thing is too different from his major.
But sometimes life is so wonderful.
At this time, he stood on the edge of the podium, took the microphone and smiled at the people in the audience in a relatively relaxed posture: "Teachers, students, hello everyone, I am Xu Chuan.
I am very happy and scared to come to our top university in the domestic film and television industry to study and exchange today.
I am glad that I know that this event is destined to leave a very special and meaningful memory in my life.
I was terrified that I wondered if my presence would be a fun and helpful experience for everyone in their college careers. β
As soon as Xu Chuan's words fell, a girl's voice immediately shouted: "Yes~~"
This sudden voice made the audience instantly lively.
The girls who shouted "yes" were female classmates in the acting class.
People are divided into groups, and the students in the venue are no exception.
The scope of Zhang Ming's selection to study in the crew is not large, mainly concentrated in the group of students who are about to graduate from related behind-the-scenes majors, and also slightly involves some juniors.
Therefore, as I said before, the majority of the crowd in the venue was crowded.
Based on such an audience composition, when Xu Chuan first appeared, he naturally received enthusiastic cheers and thunderous applause.
Especially the female students in the acting class, the one or two can be said to show the state of a fan.
This is not to say that male students are more naΓ―ve and jealous than female students. It's simply a same-sex rejection.
Schoolgirls are still jealous, and they are jealous without concealing it. For example, when the host introduced Wu Yunfei, the female students in the acting class lost their voices in an instant.
The most critical point is that Xu Chuan's record of "taking a sister to score points" since his debut is quite brilliant. How can this make these female students who are about to step into the showbiz calm down.
"A group of crazy people, I really thought that if they praised Xu Chuan's field, Xu Chuan would praise them in the future, right?"
"Xu Chuan has not been with us from the bottom of his heart, and it is already very telling to come over with Wu Yunfei this time, when has he used an actor who went out of a serious college?"
"Hypocrisy, it's too hypocritical, Xu Laosan's clichΓ© is simply disgusting."
A group of people in the audience whispered sarcastic as always, and Xu Chuan's speech on the stage continued.
I saw Xu Chuan stretch out his hand and gesture to the big screen behind him and said, "As everyone can see, our exchange today is about the theme of science fiction."
To tell you the truth, I originally planned to share with you my understanding of science fiction and the future development direction of science fiction film and television;
I would like to share with you the significance of science fiction movies to the development of our country's film industry;
I would even like to share with you the key points and difficulties in the process of making science fiction films.
But in the end I gave up.
Because I realized how shallow my knowledge of these things really is.
In other words, I don't have the qualifications and knowledge to present something worthwhile. β
Speaking of this, Xu Chuan paused.
At this time, the expressions of many people in the audience were quite surprised. They didn't expect that Xu Chuan, who has always been strong and confident, would now say that he is shallow on stage.
And it's not the kind of modesty that resembles a big guy, it can be seen from his performance and tone that he really feels that he is shallow in this regard.
Zhang Mingyuan and the assistant director both looked at each other several times when they listened.
That look seemed to say, "Xu Chuan, what's wrong?" Evil, huh? Shallow is shallow, people can't know everything, but there's really no need to say it yourself. β
And Wu Yunfei's feeling at this time was different from theirs, she only felt that Xu Chuan today was extraordinarily sincere.
Xu Chuan on the stage didn't care about these things, but continued to take care of himself: "So, I want to tell you today the story of science fiction in my life.
I'm sure you've all heard of it more or less, but I have all sorts of messy ideas in my head. In fact, I've been a cranky person since I was a kid.
I was an only child and was born into a rural family that was not wealthy. My mother was raised by my grandparents, and the two elderly people had no biological children.
As a result, there are no siblings on my mom's side and only one brother on my dad's side.
As a result of this family relationship, I don't have any brothers and sisters like cousins or cousins.
When I was in elementary school, I was cowardly and introverted, and I was often bullied. I've been bullied, and I can't help it, I can't find a big kid to give me a head start.
So, at that time, I often fantasized that God would send me a helper. Just thinking about it, maybe my obsession is too deep, God heard my voice.
One day, as I sat in front of my desk in a daze, I felt my drawer vibrate, and then the drawer was pushed open by an unknown force.
A round-headed, round-headed, round-bellied thing came out of the drawer, and he stood on it and greeted me; 'Hey, hello Xu Chuan, I'm a cat-type robot from the future. β
Of course, everyone knows that there is no way that a cat-like robot can actually come out of my drawer, which is obviously a dream I had after falling asleep on the table.
But this dream has been unforgettable for me for a long time. So, I drew the guy I dreamed of in my dream. β
Speaking of this, Xu Chuan paused, and then took a page-turning pen and turned the page of the PPT he brought.
A blue fat man appeared in front of everyone present, and this image was naturally drawn by Xu Chuan who provided a draft and asked the professionals in the studio to help draw it.
Then he continued: "He probably looks like this, and he is very cute. Not only that, but I started racking my brains to come up with a name for this fat blue man.
Since he appeared in my dream, there must be a dream in his name. And since he is a robot of the future, I think he should have an English letter to represent the model.
Therefore, its original name was [Amon].
But the name is too simple. So, I added two more words called "more come", because he could come to my dreams more often.
That's why his second name is "Amondolai". Obviously, the name is not good enough, so in the end, I thought about it and took a homonym and called him [Doraemon].
Look at my outrageous obscenity ability, or run to write after graduation. β
"Hahaha." When the audience heard Xu Chuan's words, they immediately laughed cooperatively.
Compared with boring technical explanations, Xu Chuan's stories are obviously more audible, because the stories don't cost brains.
Of course, there are some people who are not interested in Xu Chuan's appearance, in their opinion, what are you talking about, who wants to listen to Ling's childhood obscenity?
However, soon they will see how concrete Xu Chuan's "obscenity" is.
I saw Xu Chuan continue: "The name is chosen, so what ability should Doraemon have to help me?"
Is there a lot of power?
In this way, I can beat the ass of those classmates who bullied me, and I will no longer dare to trouble me.
But that doesn't seem cool enough.
It didn't fit my vision of the future at that time.
In my imagination, there should be all kinds of magical high-tech products in the future, or high-tech props.
Based on such an imagination. I added a setting to Doraemon, which is to have a magical four-dimensional pocket on his stomach.
And this pocket is filled with all kinds of props from the future.
Doraemon's ability is to be able to pull out the right props to help me solve my troubles when I need them. β
Having said that, Xu Chuan turned another page of PPT, the blue fat man before did not draw a pocket, but this time he painted it.
"Guys, God knows how excited I was when I was in elementary school, and I felt like my life was so exciting. I was completely immersed in this fantasy.
So, I started to spend all my time after class to make up for more fantasy settings.
In these fantasies, I am of course the male protagonist. Then I used my childish brush to paint an image of myself.
If you have a hero, you have to have a villain. So, I drew another domineering character who likes to bully people because of his strong body, his name is Fat Tiger.
In addition to the fat tiger, there is also a cunning show-off man, he has a sharp beak and monkey gills, and I named him Xiaofu. β
Along with Xu Chuan's speech, the images of Big Bear, Fat Tiger and Little Husband appeared on the screen one after another.
Seeing the appearance of this image, many people in the venue really couldn't hold back.
They really don't know whether these are really Xu Chuan's childhood imaginations or stories made up now.
But no matter what, the story really took out a few cute and cute anime characters, which is really outrageous.
Especially that blue fat man Doraemon, the more you look at it, the more festive it becomes.
What's even more unbearable is still to come.
I saw Xu Chuan continue: "Since the male protagonist has the villain, naturally there must be a heroine, and the heroine is called Shizuka." β
As Xu Chuan's words fell, Shizuka's image also appeared in the PPT.
In an instant, the people in the audience began to coax "wow".
Obviously, from their point of view, this is most likely when Xu Chuan was in elementary school, and there was really a female classmate named Shizuka.
Seeing the people below coaxing, Xu Chuan on the stage also showed an embarrassed expression. Of course, this is deliberate, in order to shorten the distance between himself and these classmates.
It is also to improve the credibility of your own story.
Things were as he expected, his natural shyness made the people in the audience more energetic.
Even Wu Yunfei looked at Xu Chuan with gossip on her face, planning to ask Shizuka who she was later.
"Okay, okay, don't make a fuss, I don't believe you didn't have a crush when you were young." Xu Chuan saw that everyone was getting more and more energetic, and continued to say deliberately.
This sentence can be said to have shortened the distance between him and these classmates in an instant.
It seems that the relationship between lectures and lectures is no longer between lectures and lectures, but like a male classmate going up to tell some stories that everyone has.
After a little commotion, Xu Chuan continued: "Based on the above settings, I made up a lot of small stories in my brain......"
In the following time, Xu Chuan roughly picked out a few classic Doraemon stories and told them to you in the form of telling and showing the picture at the same time.
To exaggerate, Xu Chuan directly prepared a short comic of Doraemon this time.
Among them, classic props are involved, such as time machines, arbitrary doors, bamboo dragonflies, memory bread shrinking lamps, time wrappers, Gulliver tunnels, telescopes and so on.
There are also some special props that Xu Chuan can remember, even if they are not in the story, he will simply mention them.
No one can resist the charm of Doraemon.
It's childish for these college students, but it's also fun.
Moreover, it is completely different from the lecture they imagined, which is even more interesting.
However, the people who say strange things still exist.
"That's it? Zhu Lanyun's apprentice is this? There are so many awesome props in his story, just to play at home, he makes up stories at this level? β
"I don't even know if to praise him for his strong imagination or for his low pattern. I'm going to have Doraemon, the world is really mine, and I'm surrounded by the fat tiger Shizuka all day long. β
"You want to be blind like Xu Chuan, aren't you? How could those props of Doraemon appear, and how could Doraemon travel through time and space, haven't you heard of the grandfather paradox?
There is no scientific basis at all, only a three-year-old child can think so blindly. β
"But isn't this what he made up when he was a kid?" Just when a few people were saying strange things, someone next to them couldn't help but say.
"Little ...... I...... You ......" made the person who had just spoken a little speechless.
In fact, there's one more thing that these weird people don't realize.
That is, they didn't intend to listen properly.
Now I not only listened to Xu Chuan's story about Doraemon, but also listened to it, and if I didn't listen to it, I couldn't argue.
On the stage, Xu Chuan's speech continued.
I saw him smile and ask, "Do you think these stories are childish?" β
"Hahahaha." A burst of laughter came, which was an answer to Xu Chuan's question.
Hearing everyone laughing, Xu Chuan also laughed, and after laughing for a while.
He looked at the audience and said solemnly: "Of course it is very naΓ―ve, but it is the first science fiction story in my life, and it is also the first science fiction work in my life."
The work was so crude, so rough that it contained only a few art books that cost five cents a piece, a few pencils that cost two cents, and a box of 24 colored crayons for three dollars.
But it's beautiful, because it uses the best I could do at my age, and all my imagination.
It's a treasure for me, because I've really worked hard to build a world with Doraemon.
Of course, it was also very precious to my grandmother, and the old lady thought that those art books were really useful for starting fires, and after burning them, she still muttered that the fire of other paper lights was not prosperous. β
"Hahaha." As soon as these words came out, there was another burst of laughter below.
But this time the laughter was noticeably smaller.
Because after Xu Chuan's previous words, many people in the audience seemed to have been hit by something.
"I invested in a project the other day, and everyone should have heard of this project. The Internet is very unoptimistic about my investment.
Because everyone generally believes that we can't make hard science fiction movies well, there are many reasons why we can't make good movies, from creative ability to technical strength.
I don't know if any of you here have the same idea. Of course, it's normal to think this way. Xu Chuan's topic suddenly turned to the movies he had invested in.
The expressions of the students in the audience at this time were much more serious than when they first came in.
I saw Xu Chuan continue: "But what I want to say is, everyone, never stop fantasizing, and never set limits on yourself.
Yes, maybe we only have a five-cent art book, a two-cent pencil, and that three-dollar box of crayons.
But so what?
Can't we just take these and do our best to draw a Doraemon full of fantastic fantasies?
Can I only create a blue fat man after I have top-notch painting skills and professional equipment?
I don't think so.
I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes, but even today, I still believe that the Doraemon who greeted me in my childhood really exists.
This blue fat man has always been with me, telling me in my ear, 'Xu Chuan, you can actually have a childlike heart forever, which will make you very happy and make you look forward to the future.' β
I was even thinking about this old friend who had grown up with me since childhood when I was about to leave this world.
I would sit in a time machine, go back to that summer afternoon, push open the drawer and say to me as a child: 'Hey, Xu Chuan, hello, my name is Doraemon, a cat-like robot from the future'. β
Speaking of this, Xu Chuan was moved with real feelings.
This blue fat man didn't just say hello to Nobita in his childhood. The same also said hello to Xu Chuan, to you, to him, and to all the children who have seen him.
So, he took a time machine back to the moment of Nobita's childhood. It is also a time when we meet our own childhood.
Xu Chuan's emotion naturally immersed the people in the audience.
I saw him go on to say, "Doraemon appeared in my world many years ago, and he opened the door to my fantasies.
Today, I took him into our Jingying, hoping that he can also let everyone regain their childlike innocence that can be imagined at will and never set limits. β
The voice fell, and a video of Doraemon appeared on the big screen behind him.
I saw him wave his hand to all the students present and said, "Hey, everyone, hello, I'm Doraemon, a cat-like robot from the future. β
The appearance of this image made the students present suddenly can't help but cheer.
They don't know why they're cheering. Maybe it's because Xu Chuan's speech just now has immersed them in it.
Of course, the matter is not over here, the video continues to play, and there are many old photos from his childhood in the picture, which Xu Chuan collected from fans.
At the same time, Doraemon's Chinese theme song also sounded at this moment.
[There are many wishes in my heart~~
How great it is to be able to achieve it~~
Only Doraemon can take me to make my dreams come true~~
β¦β¦β¦β¦γ
A childlike song, coupled with all kinds of old childhood photos in the video, seems to bring the people at the scene back to that afternoon many years ago.
At this time, those who said strange things also honestly shut their mouths.
I can't go on, I can't say it at all.
In the end, everyone is a high-minded student, not a professional troll who has taken money.
As for the theme song of Doraemon, it is naturally sung by Lin Mengying, and there is no more suitable one than her.
The voice of Doraemon who just said hello is also her.
