Chapter 368: Give everyone a little "Cat and Mouse" shock
Everyone actually hasn't seen Xu Ye for a while, and they are still a little rusty after not seeing Xu Ye for a long time.
Especially last night, Xu Ye's wonderful operation on the stage of "Flash Girl" made everyone's impression of him also have some changes.
The studio's employees' favorite songs are not those songs of Genki Girls, their favorite is "I Feel Like a Superstar" sung by Xu Ye.
Today, when everyone is working, this song is playing in the headphones.
This song, which is warm to listen to, can bring some strength to people.
Everyone can feel like a superstar, and everyone can not be a superstar, they can be whatever they want.
Everyone listened to the song, and they had a fan filter in their minds about Xu Ye, who they hadn't seen for a long time.
Today, the filter was broken when I saw it, and Mr. Xu still remained in a state of madness.
It's just pity for the blue cat.
Xu Ye put the small note with "2B" written on it into the phone case, raised his head and asked, "Where is Mr. Gao?" ”
"Mr. Gao is in the office." An employee said hurriedly.
"You guys are busy, I'll go find Mr. Gao." Xu Ye said.
At this time, Gao Leyong was sitting in front of the computer, anxious.
On the computer, some of the production drafts of "Cat and Mouse" are displayed.
He has revised this version of the draft seven times with his subordinates, and he is still a little dissatisfied.
I have to say that doing the animation "Cat and Mouse" is a huge challenge for him.
It is true that he used to do children's animation, but his children's animation has some philosophy.
All in all, the plot is quite logical and there is no nonsense.
But the script of "Cat and Mouse" that Xu Ye gave him is different.
It can even be said that this script is almost the same as nothing.
In the absence of lines, there is basically only one plot introduction, and the rest is all up to the brain.
The key is that there are many things that he can't make up in his brain.
Gao Leyong felt that his mental state was not normal recently.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and after Gao Leyong shouted, he saw Xu Ye pushing the door and coming in.
After seeing Xu Ye, Gao Leyong hurriedly stood up.
Xu Ye said: "Get me a bottle of a sweet mixture of carbon dioxide and dihydrogen monoxide." ”
Gao Leyong said angrily: "If you want to drink soda, just say it!" ”
After speaking, he went to the cabinet and took a bottle of Coke to Xu Ye, and as soon as he took the Coke in his hand, Gao Leyong realized a problem.
"It's over, I actually understood Xu Ye's words in seconds!"
Gao Leyong sighed in his heart, his mental state was not better.
After handing the Coke to Xu Ye, Gao Le said, "Let's not waste time, hurry up and take a look, I don't understand what you said." ”
Gao Leyong came to the computer, and Xu Ye also walked over.
Gao Leyong pointed to the computer screen and said: "Look at what you said here, after Tom climbed into the bird's nest, Jerry and the little yellow bird were startled, and the little yellow bird threw a 200kg weight iron block into Tom's arms, and then Tom fell to the ground. ”
Gao Leyong continued: "I can understand the logic in this, but we have done several versions of this animation process, and we feel that something is missing. ”
The logic that Gao Leyong said is that the little yellow bird can afford to hold 200 kilograms of iron, why can't Tom hold it.
Remember one sentence, please don't talk about logic in funny comics.
Xu Ye said: "Open it and take a look." ”
Gao Leyong quickly clicked on a file.
This file is an animated clip that doesn't have a soundtrack yet.
In the picture, it is Tom Cat and Jerry Mouse that Xu Ye is familiar with.
In addition to the cat and the mouse, there is also a little yellow bird.
The little yellow bird is also a character who often makes cameos in "Cat and Mouse", in fact, this little yellow bird also has a name, called Canery or Cuckoo, the former translated into Chinese is canary, and the latter is cuckoo.
However, the name is not important.
When the little yellow bird threw the piece of iron to Tom, Tom caught it with both hands and then fell down.
In the picture, Tom was hit by the iron first, and then subconsciously held up the iron with both hands, and then the whole cat fell downward.
There is nothing logically wrong with the whole process, but it just feels like something is missing.
Xu Ye didn't speak, but just asked Gao Leyong to show him all the other versions.
After reading the rest of the version, Xu Ye also counted it in his heart.
"Actually, it's normal for you to feel wrong.,Our animation world is not normal.,Are you always thinking about what it's like in reality when you do it?" Xu Ye asked.
Gao Leyong nodded and said, "This is also a way to enhance the sense of substitution." ”
Xu Ye said: "In fact, it doesn't have to be in line with reality, but it has to meet the expectations of the audience and their subconscious, so you may need to put your mind aside first." ”
"For example, in this section, after Tom holds the iron, he can first pause in the air for about half a second, and then the lower half of his body falls first, and his head is still in the original position, so that the body will be stretched like rubber, and if you add a soundtrack, this section will look much more comfortable."
Gao Leyong listened to Xu Ye's narration, and his eyes gradually lit up.
As a senior animator, just by relying on Xu Ye's narration, he can already sketch a rough picture in his mind.
It's a funny image just to think about.
In his original vision, these processes were missing.
Without the process, it naturally looks and feels wrong.
"Xu Ye has a brain, by the way, he has no brain." Gao Leyong sighed in his heart.
How abnormal it must be to come up with so many bells and whistles.
"And this ......"
Gao Leyong continued to ask.
Xu Ye also patiently explained to Gao Leyong.
Gao Leyong's level is no problem, but his brain hasn't turned around yet.
The logic of the creation of funny animation is different from the animation he created before.
After Xu Ye finished speaking, Gao Leyong regained his high morale.
He felt as if he had opened up the second pulse of Ren Du, and many of the problems that had puzzled him before had been solved.
To make "Cat and Mouse", what needs to be considered, the first thing to put is definitely not logic, but fun!
As long as everyone is happy to watch, it is enough.
It's funny, who cares about logic.
For a while, Gao Leyong felt that he was inspired, and many ideas had popped up in his head.
It's just that this brain is a little different from the previous one.
"I'll go get the soundtrack first, you go ahead." Xu Ye said.
Recently, he has been doing quite a lot.
Netizens are right, he didn't direct "Hurricane" really because he couldn't roll anymore.
The soundtrack of "Cat and Mouse" is a big project, and Xu Ye is going to invite the Huaxia Xisheng Symphony Orchestra to help perform.
He was not at all worried that the Symphony Orchestra would refuse.
As for the soundtracks used in "Cat and Mouse", what level is it, Wang Liming, the head of the Greek Vocal Orchestra, can naturally taste it.
Soon, Wang Liming received a call from Xu Ye, and his first reaction when he learned that Xu Ye wanted to invite him to score children's animations was.
Are you kidding?
Huaxia Xisheng Symphony Orchestra, the top symphony orchestra in China!
You asked me to score a children's animation?
I haven't done this before, I don't know how to make a bid!
Wang Liming will not directly refuse Xu Ye, mainly because there is no precedent in the industry.
Since "The Most Dazzling National Style", Wang Liming feels that he has found a new way for the symphony orchestra to develop in this new era.
That's down-to-earth!
Must be grounded!
Rejoice with the people.
Otherwise, few people would listen to the symphony.
Wang Liming saw things very clearly, what kind of coercion is nothing, and it is real that everyone in the group can live a good life with their own skills.
As long as you don't do things that violate the law and discipline, no one will dislike making too much money.
The more people listen, the more money everyone makes.
Therefore, later, the Xisheng Symphony Orchestra also registered a Doushou account, and from time to time it would post some videos on it, but it has been tepid.
"The price is not in a hurry, I'll send you a piece of sheet music first." Xu Ye said with a smile.
He directly sent a document to Wang Liming.
Wang Liming immediately clicked on it and looked at it.
The score that Xu Ye sent to Wang Liming is the opening song of "Cat and Mouse".
The Chinese name of this piece is "Tom and Jerry".
It needs to be said that in the classic version of "Cat and Mouse", the first 30 seconds of the opening song of each episode are different.
This is a small detail that Bradley, the composer of the soundtrack for "Cat and Mouse", put into the animation.
He will make some adjustments to the intro according to factors such as the atmosphere and emotions of each episode, some of which can be heard, and some of which are not easy to hear.
This man is a pure detailer.
Even if he quotes some famous classical songs, he will adjust them according to the actual situation in the animation, rather than directly copying them.
After Wang Liming saw this piece of music, he began to hum casually in his mouth.
It didn't take long for him to send a message to Xu Ye.
"You're a classical, huh? What kind of animation do you make, and do you need this kind of music? ”
Wang Liming said, I have never seen this kind of animation at all.
It's a bit outrageous that you add this kind of music to the animation.
You didn't make an animation specifically for the sake of posting these tunes, did you?
Xu Ye replied directly.
"You just say you don't come."
Wang Liming is quite entangled.
He'd already seen the tune, and he really wanted to try it.
The only question was how he explained it to his men.
I've got you guys to play classical music for a cartoon.
"No matter, just tell them that this is Xu Ye's doing, and Xu Ye's doing it is very reasonable."
Wang Liming replied to Xu Ye: "Yes." ”
"Okay, then I'll ask the staff in our studio to contact you and set a time."
After Wang Liming and Xu Ye agreed on a time, they stared at the mobile phone screen and pondered.
He remembered the last time he patted Xu Ye and saw the sassy words.
He was a little curious now, wondering what he would see after patting Xu Ye.
I want to see it, but I'm worried about nausea.
After ten seconds of waiting, he still couldn't hold back.
He stretched out his hand and clicked twice in a row on Xu Ye's avatar.
Then a line of prompts pops up.
"You patted Xu Ye's ass and said it was really warpy."
Wang Liming's brows suddenly wrinkled into Sichuan characters.
He pursed his lips and didn't speak for a while.
After a while, he let out a long sigh and reached out and slapped him on the face a few times.
"What the hell was I expecting?"
On the other side, after communicating with Wang Liming, Xu Ye put himself into work non-stop.
He needs to make an episode of "Cat and Mouse" first and see how the market responds.
Xu Ye knew that this animation would be popular, but the employees of Dream Building Studio were not sure.
Part-time workers are in need of positive feedback, especially for creative work.
With enough positive feedback, everyone's work can be better.
In addition to that, there are the National Treasure and Hurricane things to deal with.
Gao Leyong's movements were also very fast.
The duration of "Cat and Mouse" is much shorter than that of "The Legend of Nezha", and the duration of an episode is about five minutes after removing the opening and ending credits.
Time flies.
Eventually, the first installment of Cat and Mouse was finally completed.
If you count all the time, this episode was a month in production.
After all, at the beginning, everyone's technology and thinking mode are also being adjusted, but a lot of materials have been accumulated, and the progress will only get faster and faster.
As for the release platform of this first episode, Xu Ye did not choose Penguin Video, but chose Xiaorot Station.
The type of animation "Cat and Mouse", Xu Ye feels that it is more consistent with the style of Little Rotten Station.
Previously, "Wulin Gaiden" chose to release the tidbits on Xiaorot Station, that is, Xu Ye arranged in advance to test the water at Xiaorot Station.
So far, it's working out pretty well.
Penguin Video has no opinion on this, on the one hand, the penguin itself has shares in the small rotten station, and it can be regarded as its own family.
On the other hand, it is because Xu Ye is too short.
You're just going to release an episode of animation, and it's not appropriate to post it on Penguin Video.
How can I promote it for you?
You can't just buy an episode and give it back to the banner to promote.
The audience will scold the mother.
An episode of animation, it's really embarrassing.
That's why Xu Ye can do this kind of thing.
I did an episode and sent it out.
At twelve o'clock at noon, the account of "Wulin Gaiden" on Xiaorot Station was updated with a new episode of tidbits.
The length of these videos is basically about fifteen minutes.
Not long after the video was released, netizens began to brush up on the barrage.
"Now that the video has been updated, it's time for me to eat."
"Take your phone to the cafeteria right away!"
"The tidbits are as steady as an old dog!"
This is already the daily ridicule of netizens.
Who would have thought that the tidbits of "Wulin Gaiden" directed by Xu Ye are actually better than the feature films of some dramas.
When you see the end of the video, you find that the progress bar is not simple.
At the end of the video, the picture suddenly changed.
A cat and a mouse appear in the picture.
The blue cat and the brown-skinned mouse are both anthropomorphic.
As the picture appeared, the music also sounded, which was the classic opening song of "Cat and Mouse".
"Huh? What is it? ”
"The clip is wrong? Or did I go on stage? ”
"This cat and mouse are pretty cute."
Netizens chatted in the barrage.
It didn't take long for the music to subside.
A poster with a red background appears in the frame.
The style of the poster is very festive.
It reads, "The first episode of "Cat and Mouse" will be launched at 8 p.m. tomorrow, so stay tuned! Welcome to bring the little ones to see it! ”
In addition to this sentence, it is the basic information introduction of "Cat and Mouse".
Naturally, this is a big studio, and the producer is Dream Studio.
The screenwriter is written with Xu Ye's name.
"Dean animating again?"
"What the hell is this animation? Can you animate a cat and a mouse? ”
"I didn't notice that."
Netizens are really a little confused this time.
It's so sudden.
Everyone thought that after the end of "The Legend of Nezha", Xu Ye would not do animation anymore, but they didn't expect to be still doing it.
Quietly made a big move.
"Let's take a look tomorrow."
"With kids? Whoever I look down on, I'm a child! ”
"Xu Ye's children's animation has always been very suitable for older babies to watch, three hundred and sixty months old babies."
Xiao Rotten stood on it and briefly publicized it.
On Weibo, this is a big studio, and the official Weibo of Dream Building Studio has also released an online trailer.
When everyone saw the news, they all reacted the same.
Xu Ye didn't carry out large-scale publicity, after all, there was only one episode.
This episode is actually equivalent to a trailer, so you can't warm up the trailer.
As for choosing to launch at 8 o'clock tomorrow night, it is because Jade Bird Entertainment has a new drama that will premiere at 8 o'clock tomorrow night.
Before "The Legend of Xianyun" was broadcast, Xu Ye directly let "Wulin Gaiden" go up.
This time is no exception.
Although "Cat and Mouse" is short, it is enough to give Mr. Song a little shock to Jade Bird Entertainment.
Song Zhengqi was full of question marks when he learned the news, but he couldn't find any news when he asked someone to find out the news.
They now know nothing but the name and protagonist of Cat and Mouse.
This made Song Zhengqi feel a little panicked.
"Xu Ye doesn't really want to use a cartoon to fight with the online drama, right? No way? ”
In the entertainment industry, many people have already talked about it.
But there is another circle of people who pay attention to the opening music of "Cat and Mouse".
This circle is a circle of pure music.
They hadn't heard this music at all.
In other words, this is a new piece of classical music.
"This music is not finished, we will also go to see this animation tomorrow to see if we can hear the full version."
In some chat groups, everyone also communicated with each other.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was eight o'clock the next night.
Some netizens stayed in front of the computer early, and had already typed the words cat and mouse into the search box of Xiaorot Station, and waited for the time to come.
As soon as eight o'clock arrived, everyone clicked search.
When the search results were displayed, everyone was a little confused.
In the little rotten station, if it's a drama, the appearance of the display is different from the video submitted by the UP master himself.
Everyone thought it was a drama, but they didn't expect it to come out of a contribution.
The publisher is "Dream Building Studio".
There is only one episode, and the duration is pitiful.
Fortunately, it's free, so you don't need to open a membership to watch it.
"Forgive you for your free sake." That's what everyone thought in their hearts.
In the end, I still didn't hold on, I had a little cold, and my head was groggy
