look at that big guy

Chapter 38 The Pioneer of the Times (recommended ticket)

cunning.

Since Chen Yiwen was so old, it was the first time he heard this definition of himself. If he was really cunning, he wouldn't have a pain in the back of his head when he went out early in the morning, "Boom!" Riding her road bike and speeding past the road next to her, her hands were still stretched out, and her knuckles were pinched out of her fists. It was obvious that she had knocked him on the head by the way just now, which was a revenge for Chen Yiwen's eloquent words.

Chen Yiwen clutched the back of his head where the tears were about to be knocked out, and looked at Qin Qing who was speeding away, his heart was full of shit, and he shouted in her direction, "Don't poke the waist needle!"

Qin Qing, who got up from a distance and rocked the car, made a mistake in his waist and almost fell.

……

Looking at the girl's disappearing figure, eating and sleeping offended Qin Qing, it was another day full of vitality.

Chen Yiwen rubbed the back of his head, and set foot on the road to the library with satisfaction, sat down in the library, turned on his tablet, and logged into his cloud computer.Now that the deadline set by the organizer is very close, the production of the short film is coming to an end, and all parties are charging.

Although it is said to be a competition held by Qingshan City, this kind of competition is actually rare in China at this time. This competition held by Qingshan City once attracted a lot of attention, and universities in other cities in China are paying attention. The short video competition about this kind of college students expressing creative technology and story connotation has also caused a wave of upsurge in the Internet industry because it represents the aesthetics of young people.

Chen Yiwen entered the discussion area on the official website, and all he saw was "The 'Visual Arts Community' tourist group came to watch!" "The animation short film came here, listen to what my friends said, come and see the works of the famous school students!"

"Come here! Watch!"

The organizer of the competition first revealed some tidbits of excellent works submitted by various schools, and released them for discussion in the comment area.And people from other communities, Tieba, and people who were attracted by the promotional clip of a certain work, followed this event, and the discussion started hotly below the discussion.

"These students are very strong. I always feel that college students are not as good as veterans after all. I didn't expect the final effect to be so well made."

"That's not it, these students are rich! Just look at the engine, and you can use the 'Dynamic Soul' tool at any time. The one-year license fee for the professional version of Dynamic Soul is [-]... Can't afford it, can't afford it …”

"I originally said that I should learn to make short films, but now it seems that it is impossible to get started..."

"Do you think it's just the software that the students bought themselves? The school also supports it. I heard that some schools have opened their own accounts, and dozens of millions of tools have been used, and these animations that are comparable to blockbusters will come out! Schools You have to compete, and you have to put money on your face! You are willing to spend money to win prizes!"

"And, see, many of them are advertising animations made for merchants. What's the deal behind this... Don't you understand..."

"From today onwards, whoever said that animation production can be done without money and just relying on free resource stations, you can stand up. The works of a group of students can't be done by thousands of software tools. Students use them to do it. The competition is professional level!"

……

Among the relevant forums, there has always been a dispute between the tool party and the hobby party.

The hobbyists join the forum because they simply like to create animated short films, and they like to experience the feeling of being a director and producer. They want to exchange animation ideas, stories, and shooting techniques.

The tool party refers to those who use the new production tools released by various large companies for the first time. Different scenes use the professional counterpart software of different companies, pursue the details of various rendering parameters of the software, and know the details of various data. gang of people.

But with more and more people pretending to be pushy in recent years, the trend of the tool party is that the more expensive the tool, the better.Professional tools start at [-], which is considered contempt for the bottom of the chain, and more than [-] are considered entry-level. Only hundreds of thousands of tools can be in their eyes and can be discussed tirelessly by all parties. Millions are basically worship.

Ordinary enthusiasts, just because they like this, join in. In the eyes of the tool party, they can just play splicing and editing on the side. It is enough to make some birthday videos and some small animations for children. If you want to make a heavyweight work, What are you kidding?
Those works of great gods, the paid resources in the high-end resource station, can be seen when you open them up, each one explodes with special effects, and the money is burned behind it.

There is no endorsement by a large enterprise company, a blockbuster advertisement that is not received, or an animation work created with a lot of money for the commercial market to make money, these are not affordable for pure fans.

Originally, this new media video contest for college students in Qingshan City would let the majority of fans see some light. After all, everyone is not one of those great gods, and there is no way to buy or rely on the company to use expensive tools and resources.

Some people simply want to make an animation to satisfy their desire for creation and realize the concept of heroes fighting monsters in animation.

However, the student works released by the organizers can be said to have given them a ruthless blow.

None of the software watermarks below the beautiful videos of these students are extremely dazzling, they are all high-end products!

Those dynamic water pattern effects, those lifelike characters, those delicate hair processing techniques, without high-end software and resource libraries, it seems to be rigid, and it cannot achieve the effect of visual impact!

Because the comparison is very obvious, the organizer did not release some student video samples produced by low-end software, but in terms of click view, it is obvious that those short films with sufficient visual effects at first glance have gained the most popularity.

And those short films with obviously poor picture quality produced by ordinary software have only a very small number of hits, and it is not too much to say that no one cares!
This is the comparison effect.Faced with a short film with a higher level of tools and outstanding effects, people's eyeballs will only become more critical, which makes ordinary works simply out of their eyes.

No matter what your story or creativity is, but when people don't even want to click on it because of your unsightly appearance, what's the point of story and creativity?

This is the stark reality.

That's why big companies with monopoly positions continue to develop their own more advanced and more expensive tools and software.

This is competition. People are more and more pursuing the explosion of special effects, because everyone's time is becoming more and more limited, and they are more and more reluctant to experience and enter a story. It only needs to be bright and beautiful, and it is enough to give enough visual impact.

This is the era of technology explosion, and it is also an era of stacking technology, pursuing dazzling effects, eye stimulation, and not paying attention to content.

Empty foundation doesn't matter.

A visual explosion is enough.

It doesn't matter how the most amazing flowers bloom through the frost.

Because it doesn't look good.

……

"Let's go, let's go... I'm 30 years old, just an ordinary worker. I came into contact with this three years ago. I like to create animation stories by myself. I can't afford high-end tools. I wanted to take a look at it. Now what do college students have? Such a story idea... But looking at the current situation... I have seen several videos, in fact, they have a good idea, but 75 clicks.

And the one next to him doesn't have any creativity at all, it's purely a video showing a beautiful girl made with high-end tools dancing in a grotesque scene, who doesn't know what he wants to express at all, look, 17 hits!I just asked how many people clicked in to see those girls' legs! ? "

Then there was a thread below, "Sorry, I'm here to see the legs!"

"Look at the legs..."

"+1"

"+1"

"+1+1..."

Someone also said in the comments, "Who still writes scripts, draws storyboards, thinks about composition and tells stories? Whoever young people listens to your stories these days is cool enough and sexy enough!"

"The concept is about to change..."

"Now is the era of big production... With high investment and high returns, big software companies are almost monopolizing technology, and small software companies will basically be unable to survive..."

……

……

The comments section is just that.

Chen Yiwen had also searched a lot before, and the reality revealed after summarizing the information was the reason why he made up his mind that "The Adventures of Chen Sledgehammer" is more suitable for him to compete in this environment.

First of all, although he now has more than 5000 yuan in his pocket, the software that this money can buy is simply not high enough. It can't make big productions, and it can't compete with others on the screen, and it's unnecessary.

In the time and space of the previous life, there is a similar work. In the visual storm and various dazzling animations, it is the expressionless poker face, saying the iconic "Remember the running under the sunset that day, that is my lost youth. "The lines, with text special effects and nonsensical conflicts trigger absurd satire on some events in reality, stand out.

The style and inspiration of this work also have reference to a spoof animation that is also popular in Dongying.

Without exception, similar styles and spoofs caused a sensation in the East and China in that time and space.

Although it is only a flash in the pan, it does not affect the half-phenomenal effect caused by this style.

Even later, people thought that if the domestic work at that time was not hit by the fast-paced Internet to pursue popularity, but instead made the follow-up more solid and dig deeper into the script with more layers, it would be possible to create a phenomenon-level existence. of.

That's far behind the golden age of nonsensical movies in Hong Kong, and people have experienced the time and space where the laughter is extremely high after the baptism of countless jokes.

In this time and space, the benchmark for humor in the entertainment world is a pantomime similar to Chaplin's, and it is also a high-level humor.

But this subculture of nonsensical has never appeared.

Chen Yiwen's "The Adventures of Chen Dahammer", of course, is not a copy of those works from the previous time and space, but it closely follows the nonsensical expression style and designs the plot with the core of the ruthless ridicule of reality in a comedy way, no matter how absurd the plot is and how rigid the characters are Poker face, it doesn't matter how horrible the special effects of the whole scene are.

These are just carriers, just like home-made "unconscionable cannons", the most rudimentary launch vehicles, filled with ammunition with huge lethality.

And it is still unknown what sound this cannon can make.
