"Um?"

Xu Rui was suddenly called and was a little confused.

He looked at these people, and they obviously didn't expect to see Xu Rui, and they didn't expect this seemingly familiar guy to ask such a question.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Chen Fugui. I am from Sichuan. You must have watched "The Little Chef Master". That's what our company did."

The man who claimed to be a god-hearted man smiled heartily and showed a good mouth.

"Uh, hello."

Of course, Xu Rui did not mention that he had never watched the animation "The Little Chef Master", and he responded.

"Compared with large companies like Rainbow Media and Mushroom Film, we small animation companies should be united and not let the annual animation award be monopolized by these large companies."

Chen Fugui said with emotion.

"But behind this award is sponsored by Tomato Video Network and Mushroom Video Network..."

Xu Rui muttered in a low voice, but Chen Fugui didn't hear it clearly.

"You are the focus of our discussion. You have become famous by personal animation and open an animation company by yourself. It's a legendary experience, almost the same as mine."

Chen Fugui didn't seem to think too much. He patted Xu Rui on the shoulder and said with appreciation.

"Which animation do you think this year's annual animation should be?"

“I think…”

Xu Rui glanced at the others. They seemed to have no choice but to pretend to think for a while and then spoke.

"I think this year's annual animation should be "The Pure Teacher and Pretty Student".

"Right, I also think that this year's annual animation must be "My Heroes' Home...What did you say?"

Chen Fugui nodded in agreement, but he didn't even catch him by hearing Xu Rui's words clearly that he asked in surprise, and subconsciously ran out of his hometown dialect.

"Although "My Hero Family" is also very good, we should see that its excellence is based on originality, not on animation."

Xu Rui paused and explained.

"Often we think that original animation is more difficult than adapted animations. This is a reasonable understanding, because there are too many things to consider when building a story from scratch in original animation, but we should also consider it in turn. Only the production team knows the plot of original animation. For the audience, with natural sense of expectations, especially original animations with twists and turns, the audience's expectations for this work will become higher and higher."

Several animators couldn't help but fall into thinking when they heard what Xu Rui said.

"As long as you can be self-consistent, the possibility of original animation is infinite. The several original works directed by Lee Soo-ming have such high praise because they raise the audience's expectations and satisfy them in unexpected ways."

Xu Rui continued, and he saw Chen Fugui's expression a little dull, as if he had not taken the corner yet.

"Compared with adapted animations, original animations are more like a wonderful book that has not been read by anyone. They are fascinating and easily overlook some flaws. However, adapted animations are like imitation of famous works placed in the hands of professional appraisers. Any defects will be magnified. From the perspective of the audience, of course, it is difficult to make original works, but from the perspective of the animation people, it is very difficult to do an adapted work well."

"That's what makes sense?"

He said, touching his chin.

"Back to the work, "The Pure Love Teacher and Pretty Student" not only perfectly restores the original comics, but also adds many details, cleverly depicting many shots and narratives that are difficult to express in animations, such as using a large amount of text to float over for psychological descriptions, such as allowing both parties to have some interesting and character-consistent interactions when the two have a long conversation. These are not in the original work, but the animation production team uses these to make the animation look better. At the same time, these techniques are universal and can be imitated in other animations."

Xu Rui said while recalling the animations he had studied before.

"Although the story of "My Hero Family" is fascinating, it actually has a big problem. The gimmick at the beginning of the story is that the protagonist does not have any superpowers and relies on intelligence to defeat the enemy. However, in the later stage of the story, such a protagonist is obviously unable to fight against increasingly powerful enemies, so the production team introduced the protagonist's grandfather and sent the superpowers to the protagonist in some way. Of course, this is the end of the story. The huge climax created by using various prefabs will be subconsciously ignored. However, this is always a setting contradiction that appears in animation production and a change in the core idea of ​​the story. The deduction points for "My Hero Family" are here."

Spreading his hands, Xu Rui said again.

"If "My Hero Family" has a second season, then this problem will become more and more obvious. In the kingly battle animation where combat power can meet readers' expectations, the protagonist who is weak but relies on intelligence to defeat the enemy is quite difficult to describe. I can only wish them good luck."

Xu Rui's analysis was a long series of people, which made those people stunned.

"I heard you say that, "My Hero Family" does seem to be a bit inconsistent. No wonder I felt a strange feeling when I watched the last plot."

Shen Fugui clapped his hands and said as if he suddenly realized.

"So as you say, isn't it a big disadvantage for original animations in this kind of selection? I want to make the next animation original."

"Actually, according to my analysis of my works over the years, the Animation Awards of the Year will not add points because of original animations, nor will they lose points because of adapted animations. There is only one standard for selection from beginning to end."

Xu Rui shrugged.

“What is it?”

Several people asked in unison, looking at Xu Rui.

"As long as it's interesting animation."

Xu Rui looked at the stage in front of the banquet hall. At this time, the hosts had already arrived on the stage and prepared to hold the award ceremony.

"Oh, oh, I forgot it. Everyone, I'll lose my companion first."

Xu Rui then remembered that Yi Qianqian was still eating. He hurriedly returned to the dining table, but found that Yi Qianqian was still eating a big meal gracefully and decisively. Next to her, a man in a casual suit was eating and eating in a mess.

"Sister Qianqian, is this... Martial Arts Director?"

Xu Rui recognized the other party, who was the director of Rainbow Media, Wu Yi.

The young man was like a prisoner who had been hungry for more than ten days. While tearing off the meat from the chicken legs and pouring red wine, he completely ignored his image.

"Ah, isn't this Xu Rui? What a coincidence, we're meeting again. Are you going to have something to eat? I just point to this time to eat the grilled chicken legs in this hotel every year."

He picked up one and handed it to Xu Rui, and after being rejected, he put it into his mouth.

"Is it really okay?"

Xu Rui looked around and saw many people looking at him, but there were no Rainbow Media’s people to hold on to Wu Yi, and he just let him eat and drink.

At this moment, the host and invited guests on the stage just announced the winning works of the annual animation.
