Chapter 44: The clouds are gradually obscuring

The office area of the Organizing Committee of the New Media Video Animation Contest is located in the cultural and creative industrial park provided by the Qingshan Municipal Government, which is mainly structured with antique buildings, antique and antique, and there is no lack of living water pavilions, and there are jacaranda and cherry blossoms in the flower season, so that this place is about to become an Internet celebrity location.

The entire building of A A in the Cultural and Creative Park was used as the office location for this competition.

The judging session began at ten o'clock sharp, and at this time the fifteen preliminary judges were already sitting at the circular table, waiting for the arrival of the big man in the vacant seat in the most central position.

The judging session takes place every day, where the judges submit what they consider to be the best entries, discuss them at the judging meeting, and then determine the shortlisted candidates for the preliminary judging.

The judges present looked at the huge whiteboard behind the main seat, on which a lot of work names had been marked with markers, and each circled name was a work that was shortlisted for the preliminary evaluation list.

Not long after, there was a signature footsteps on the porch, and everyone couldn't help but straighten their spines, although the preliminary judges present were all elites selected by the three industry media, but this one who was about to come in, if it was usual, the other party looked at themselves, and they might be honored.

A slightly chubby figure walked in with slippers, and under the curly hair was a face with a faint autumn moon and spring breeze expression.

Seeing him, everyone couldn't help but feel emotional.

Liu Qirong. Originally from Qingshan City, his identity is animation and film director, and there are several award-winning god-level animated films in China, all of which are from him, in addition, his literary films have also belonged to the top positions in China.

Last year, he also served as the general director of the Northland Animation Festival, one of the five major animation festivals in the world, along with the Annecy Animation Film Festival in France, the Ottawa Animation Festival in Canada, the Zagreb Animation Festival in Croatia, and the East Island Animation Festival.

Liu Qirong had previously designed image projects for Qingshan City, and also participated in the creation of Qingshan City's "Divine Painting" theme park, so when the publicity department of Qingshan Municipal Government was preparing for the Qingshan University Student Video Animation Competition, he was invited to be a member of the expert group for the final review.

If you want to change to other situations, Liu Qirong may not participate, no matter how big the stage, even if it is the New Year's Eve party and variety show of the top two satellite TV in China, he has refused, but he is very enthusiastic about the publicity of the Qingshan City Government and the public welfare undertakings of Qingshan.

This time, it is also for the name of Aoyama's college student animation video contest, and he is willing to serve as a judge of the expert group, and he is also the chief judge of the competition. It is also a highlight of the wide publicity of this competition.

In other words, in the whole competition, his words are currently the holy decree, and he is the only one who dares to walk around in slippers under such circumstances.

Liu Qirong held a tablet notebook, paced, came to the main seat, faced everyone to stand up and say hello, he nodded casually, waved his hand to let everyone sit down, and then took out a marker, turned around and brushed and wrote a few words on the whiteboard.

"The Adventures of Sledgehammer Chen".

Looking at the name, the judges looked at each other and remembered.

When this animation was first passed by the judges, it was circulated by everyone, and many people laughed out loud when they saw it, but some judges felt that it was a spoof and did not conform to the spirit of the competition, so they put it into the controversial area, and the controversial area will be finally evaluated by the expert review team, but so far, there is still no result for this work.

Today, Liu Qirong wrote this work on the whiteboard of the review meeting, what's going on?

"At today's jury, I will focus on this work. Liu Qirong spoke, "Have you seen it all?"

Everyone nodded.

"Okay," Liu Qirong said, "Next, I'll show you the tools that my team usually uses to make movies." ”

Well, what's going on? I can't get along with it, but everyone immediately relented, Liu Qirong is a first-class director in China, and the software tools used by his production team must be the top in the industry.

Sure enough, when Liu Qirong took out the tablet, started the cloud computer, and then projected the software loading screen in the dark room, everyone saw the big word "Maya" on it, and their breath was short.

Maya Software is one of the top AI intelligent software in the film industry, which belongs to Maya Company, with very powerful performance and professional software only for producers who have reached the coffee position.

After all, this kind of professional software is used by top producers, and the internal parameters are confidential, so it is impossible for outsiders to see it, and ordinary people can't see the inside scene of this software.

Although many of the judges present are highly qualified, it may be the first time that they have seen the inner workings of this software.

Liu Qirong probably guessed everyone's mood at this time, and he wrote a script casually, which was a script for a male and female martial arts competition. A library of character models instantly appeared on the screen, all kinds of characters, lifelike, and even some of them were authorized by live-action movie stars to the software, Liu Qirong is one of the top directors in China, and he also has the right to use the virtual identities of many stars, so he can see the templates of many stars.

Just looking at this, many people swallowed their saliva, it was a top-notch model library.

Everyone watched Liu Qirong quickly operate parameters, character models, scene rendering, special effects, sound effects, camera matching, background subtraction, and then he clicked "Generate"!

Soon, the costumes of two well-known male and female celebrities in China appeared in a bamboo forest, and the two danced in the bamboo forest and competed with swords.

The beautiful scenes, lifelike character details, and the smoke and mist effects of the bamboo forest make people feel like they are in a fairyland.

Everyone was a little distracted by the sight.

Is this the top movie tool, is this the handiwork of the top boss?

Isn't it just a blockbuster scene!?

Liu Qirong adjusted the parameters again. The background is quickly replaced by a modern city, and the hero and heroine change into modern costumes and parkour in the urban forest, chasing, and shootout.

Liu Qirong operated the software again, and the background became space science fiction, with the hero and heroine wearing power suits shuttling between buildings hundreds of meters high.

After a presentation, all the judges couldn't help but applaud.

"This is the Mayan software that my team uses to make things, the professional version is 7 million, and it does not include celebrity avatars and virtual star copyrights. In fact, the latter is more expensive. ”

Liu Qirong said, and then, he closed the software and opened another software.

Everyone knows this software, "Fuxing" software, an AI video production tool from Fuxing Group, the advantage lies in dynamic rendering, especially suitable for sports effects, and the price is 170,000.

After Liu Qirong opened it, everyone looked at the internal resource library, not that it was not rich, but they had seen the previous Mayan software of Liu Qirong's professional director, and then looked at Fuxing, the software in the mid-to-high-end market, and suddenly there was a contrast and gap, the material library, scene selection, camera position advancement, and various parameters suddenly shrunk greatly.

Liu Qirong introduced the previous script again, looked at the AI scene made by the previous top tools, and then looked at the current Fuxing software, although it is still a picture of fairyland, if it has not experienced the baptism of "Maya" software, they seem to be OK, but after seeing the previous scene, look at the one in front of them, and suddenly the contrast will come out.

The details of the bamboo forest are at least a quarter less, and the rendering of the fairyland fog has also become piled up, less ethereal, and the character movements are actually dragging, but the human eye can't distinguish them, but after the fight, the picture will be darker, and the outline of the characters is not so bright, which is the dark area caused by the drag.

Then change the scene, the city, or space, and it is obvious that the scene has shrunk a lot.

Compared with the previous Maya, the Fuxing software in front of me is like just eating an extremely sweet strawberry, and now gnawing a green apple, maybe eating an apple alone will be sour and sweet, but after eating strawberries, it is full of sourness.

"You just saw the difference between the effect of 7 million level software and the effect of 170,000 level software. Not to mention, those cheaper software. We have to admit that the more expensive the software, whether it is characters, picture performance, or scene rendering, it is indeed better, which also makes our industry more and more pursuing the investment in equipment. But actually?"

"Chen Dazhui's work, he used a dollar of 'intelligent manufacturing' software, telling us that even if you use cheap software, even if it is as cheap as a dollar, you can still create an excellent video without money! Even if it is recognized as the most junk software, in the hands of those who can use it, it will turn waste into treasure and create a unique usage and style!"

Everyone was stunned.

"This author deliberately used one-dollar software to enter the competition. Liu Qirong turned his head and glanced at the name written on the whiteboard, "He used one-dollar software and the most humble picture to make people laugh." What is Gao Ming, this is Gao Ming. Don't hide it from everyone, when I watched it, I decided on this work.

It wraps the mockery and metaphor of reality in the shell of comedy, so I can conclude at that time that such a work will never be buried, and even, we can test it!"

Everyone reacted, Liu Qirong knew that they were commentators belonging to the media, and knew that these things that happened today might be conveyed through their mouths and pens afterwards, so Liu Qirong was teaching them a lesson, and he was also teaching more people in the relevant industry through them.

"You see, I deliberately didn't let this work pass the preliminary evaluation!" Liu Qirong turned around and used his pen to type a few dots under "The Adventures of Chen Da Hammer", "I just want everyone to see that even if the picture is the simplest, among all the works, the picture is the worst, even if such a work has no recommendation and traffic!

The words were concise and to the point, and after speaking, Liu Qirong dropped the pen, hugged the tablet and turned around and walked out of the review room.

Leaving a group of judges looking at each other.

Many people looked at the six big characters "The Adventures of Chen Dazhui" written on his whiteboard......

It turns out that this is the case, no wonder this work is in the controversial area, but there has been no follow-up state.

It turned out that he was stuck by the big guy.

……

What the big guy said is true?

I didn't give it a shortlist label for the first evaluation because I believed ...... It doesn't need any testimonials and it can rush up on its own?

In this way, he wants to teach everyone a good lesson? Or even the industry, a good lesson?

Is it true?

Don't know, right?

The judges were actually puzzled.

Although Liu Qirong's resume is scary, everyone has to bend down in a low voice when they see him, although you are a big man, and everyone acknowledges your achievements, but this is ......

Might it be a little too arbitrary?

……

Then, the fourth day of the preliminary evaluation.

The judges who arrived at the judging room early in the morning got a message. In fact, someone had already discovered the anomaly of the official website on the eve before, but they went to work the next day and got it confirmed.

Overnight, the official website of the organizing committee encountered a surge of visits.

The technicians were initially in a hurry, but after the inspection, the source was clarified.

Throughout the official website, the abnormal traffic is only rushing to one target high ground -

Contest No. 368.

"The Adventures of Chen Da Hammer".
