207: The Light of Guoman
The depressed classmate Wei, who is also a friend of the animation company next door, has been a little uneasy these days.
Of course he was the one who made the report, but the result was far beyond his expectation.
Nowadays, when searching for animations in a browser, apart from animation encyclopedias, the most popular ones are Li Jianghe’s words.
"Alas", Classmate Wei sighed and sat on the office chair.
One careless move and you lose everything.
He shook his head, put on his coat, and walked out of the office.
Winter has arrived, and the temperature difference between winter and summer in Yingtian is relatively large in the south.
There isn't much snow here, but at this moment, there are some fine snowflakes blowing.
"The snowflakes are fluttering and the north wind is blowing
The world is vast”
"Melodious" singing came.
"Grass, what song?", Student Wei felt sad.
"What's the noise? It's serious." An aunt next to her turned off the radio on her hand.
A sports car stopped suddenly beside him.
"You almost bumped into someone, don't you have eyes?" Student Wei felt the deep malice of the world.
The roof of the sports car was opened, and Fu Maojie glanced at him, "Did you hit someone?"
Classmate Wei took a look at Fu Maojie and knew that this man had often been in and out of the animation company next door in the past month. It was said that he was a shareholder.
He softened at this, and he couldn't say anything out of his mouth, so he could only hold it back.
"I guess the lawyer's letter will arrive soon. Remember to check the mailbox when you come back." Fu Maojie said this and drove away.
...
Li Jianghe was watching a movie in the villa at this time.
He wanted to go back and have fun with his roommates, but unfortunately the campus didn't have heating after the winter in the south, so the dormitory was still a little cold.
He was watching "Days of Being Wild".
He had watched very few Wong Kar-Wai before. This was because he had watched Liu Yichang's "The Pair" and "The Drunkard" before, and then watched the related Wong Kar-wai's "2046" and "In the Mood for Love" before discovering this great director.
Look at Leslie Cheung, Maggie Cheung, Jacky Cheung, Carina Lau, Andy Lau... Such a luxurious camp, you will know that this film will become a classic.
This is the first "Wong Kar-wai style" movie made by Wong Kar-wai, "You and I were together for one minute before three o'clock in the afternoon on April 16, 1960, because of you I will remember this minute."
From now on we will be friends for a minute, this is a fact, you can't change it, because it is in the past, I will come again tomorrow."
This kind of narrative is now tied to the name Wong Kar-Wai, but at that time, what the audience expected was not a general literary film, but a commercial film with shootouts, gangsters, and love interspersed.
This film sent Wong Kar-Wai's boss to the hospital.
Because it was originally expected to be a big-selling commercial film, "Days of Wild" ended up with a cost of 40 million Hong Kong dollars and only recovered 9 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office. How could the boss not be angry?
Li Jianghe held a can of Coke in his hand and looked at it with gusto.
The computer that was turned on over there suddenly made a beeping sound.
At this time, the function of the mobile phone was still relatively rudimentary. Li Jianghe was afraid that he would not receive any urgent email messages, so he always left his computer on.
As for how this would damage the life of the computer, he no longer cared too much.
I don’t know how many IBM laptops I can buy with the money I earn from a blind box every day.
"Huh?" Li Jianghe saw a document sent to him by his father.
The phone also rang at this time.
"Hello, dad", Li Jianghe answered the phone.
"Son, you did a great job on the blind box thing before," Li Jun was very pleased.
"So-so", Li Jianghe is actually quite proud of it. It's a good move to get a blessing in disguise.
"You have to maintain this kind of popularity at this time, understand?" Li Jun said: "Let the word out, just say that we are preparing for the next one."
"Dad, this is not something you can figure out just by patting your head." Li Jianghe turned off the TV first.
"Yes, so I sent you a document." Li Jun said with a smile: "It contains a few animation ideas, a few ideas, and a relatively vague outline."
"Huh?" Li Jianghe clicked on the email, and there were three big words written on it: "Star Travels"
Li Jun watched this anime with his grandson in his previous life, but he doesn't remember it very clearly. He only remembers some iconic plots.
Star Travels can be called the light of Chinese comics of that era. Although some fans claimed that it plagiarized One Piece, of course, the screenwriter himself admitted that he borrowed from One Piece and even played with Star Thief King jokes.
He has an awesome father (the Red Devil, the father of the protagonist Madang, and the Dragon, the father of Luffy), who relies on foreign objects to gain strength (the Rainbow Stone River Devil Fruit), embarks on the great route (sea route, interstellar route), and pursues a comparison.
Ethereal goals (big secret treasure and rainbow sea).
It’s impossible to say that this is without reference, but Star Travels has its advantages.
plot.
Many people regard Star Travels as the dawn of the rise of Chinese comics, but it has been ten years since this dawn broke out, and it still has not been able to illuminate this long night.
If the model is a reference, the plot is absolutely original.
Especially Milon's line "Live to that era when even the weak can be happy and draw it beautifully", which uses a golden skyline at the end.
The boy who imitated his idol has turned into a man who can be the idol of others.
To be honest, not many Chinese comics can write about the depth of the following episodes.
It is complete and has something to say, rather than discussing some big principles in vain. This is what the current Chinese comics should learn from.
"Dad, wait for me to take a look." Li Jianghe quickly browsed the outline.
He scratched his head and said, "Dad, is this what you want?"
"Uh, yes", Li Jun admitted shamelessly.
"Dad, don't be angry if I tell you something," Li Jianghe said.
"What do I have to be angry about?" Li Jun said with a smile, "Just tell me."
"Were you so talented before?" Li Jianghe felt it was a bit outrageous, "Dad, I mean, I really didn't realize your buried talent before."
"You brat, there are still many things you haven't discovered," Li Jun said amusedly, "In the eyes of his son, shouldn't his father be a genius?"
"Of course you are a genius in my heart. Even if you are too talented, you still have to give me time to prepare to accept my genius father," Li Jianghe said with a smile.
"Who do you sound like?" Li Jun said.
"What do you think?" Li Jianghe's tone contained a hint of understanding.
"Forget it, the document has been sent to you anyway. It's up to you to figure out how to do it." Li Jun said, "Okay, let's do this for now. Go to bed early at night and don't stay up late."
"Okay dad", Li Jianghe hung up the phone.
Li Jianghe decided to postpone the animation matter for a few days and let them catch up on the progress of the sheep first. Several newly hired directors and animators have also arrived.
Li Jianghe canceled the pause and the movie was already in its last segment.
Tony Leung lowered his head, trimmed his nails, combed his hair and went out in the cramped hut.
Chapter completed!
