Start with a god-level director

Chapter 167 The Matrix Animated Version

Qingsi Xiaozhu is a typical Suzhou-Hangzhou garden structure, with weeping willows and ponds like mirrors. Although it is not too late, some people have already lit lanterns, the breeze blows, and the faint fragrance of flowers permeates.

Shen Yu sat on the soft bed and chatted with several people.

"Director Shen, please eat melon."

With his slender hands, he picked up a piece of jasper crispy melon with a fork, brought it to Shen Yu's mouth, and then picked up a handkerchief to help Director Shen wipe his mouth.

The person who did it was Princess Yuehu, she served Shen Yu's food with a smile on her face.

This kind of behavior made the people around him extremely envious, but at this moment, they definitely understood it.

Princess Yuehu is obsessed with art, as long as you can move her, it is not unheard of for her to wash your hands, make soup for you, bring you tea and water, and then chat and communicate.

This is nothing, it was even more excessive in ancient times, such as pedicure, ah no, it was the imperial concubine taking off her boots... But from Yang Yuhuan's point of view, those three poems really made her famous through the ages.

"His Royal Highness... so..."

Shen Yu was a little shy. After all, Princess Yuehu was too close to him, and the two of them could touch sensitive places by accident, and the matter of her feeding melons was really...

After all, Xiao Lizhu was sitting not far away.

"Are you still shy? Director Shen, you are such a pure and good boy."

Princess Yuehu smiled and inserted another piece of melon, and handed it to Shen Yu's mouth, "Li Zhu... such a good boy, why don't you propose to him quickly, are you afraid that he will be snatched away one day? "

As she spoke, her high chest and round bear were about to rub against Shen Yu's arm.

"Princess, in fact, this animation cost 2000 million yuan."

Shen Yu could smell the temptation of Rulan Rutan, which was also mixed with a heart-pounding wet feeling, and her chest, although it was not pressed down, gave a very heavy feeling.

"Ah, so tall?"

The delicate body of Princess Yuehu almost leaned on Shen Yu's body. When the wind blew, a few strands of long hair brushed against Shen Yu's nose, making his heart itch.

Well, it's nice to tease a little guy, especially with his girlfriend around.

"Well, it's just the cost of making the animation, and the salaries, the logistics, and a few other things."

"Le Lan, I'll feed him."

Xiao Lizhu couldn't bear it anymore, and forcibly inserted between Shen Yu and Princess Yuehu, separating the two of them.

"Oh, Lizhu, you are finally moved and took the initiative? This is really rare..."

Princess Yuehu was not angry either. She just wanted to tease Xiao Lizhu with her actions just now, and now she looked at Shen Yu with a smile, "Director Shen, can you tell me the story of your animation movie again? Of course, if you need to keep it secret, then that's fine." gone."

"There is no need to keep it secret. I had an idea, so I wanted to show it, so I found Akiko Kawaguchi, contacted the animation producer of Dongying, and several Russian artists. These people are very good, very good. Outstanding geniuses, they have worked hard for a year to finish the film, and the story inside can be told, but I won’t tell, when they return to Dongpu, some details will be leaked.”

"So that means the filming of the animated movie is over?"

"Well, it's over, it's not over, I conceived eight short stories for this animation, but in fact, I want nine, and then it's considered complete.

Nine represents infinity, and it also represents perfection. Now there is only a 10-minute animated short film. Director Wang, I sincerely hope that you will join in and shoot one of the sci-fi animations. I will bear all the expenses. "

After Shen Yu's speech just now, Princess Yuehu called Shen Yu, Wang Sitong, Mr. Feng and others over, and everyone chatted first, exchanged feelings, and saw if they could reach a conclusion.

Everyone talked very happily, mainly because Shen Yu's attitude was very low. Whether it was towards Director Wang, Mr. Feng, or even others, Shen Yu was not aggressive at all, as if the incident of being humiliated, teased and attacked a few days ago had never happened .

And in this situation, even if someone hates Shen Yu deeply, they can't speak ill - Princess Yuehu is on the side, and there are many people sitting and watching from afar or near. Director Shen is very demeanor, you guys Of course, we must also talk about demeanor, otherwise... you will not be in this circle in the future, and you will leave bad comments.

"Is this a challenge to Director Wang?"

Before Wang Sitong answered, his assistant spoke.

"No... Really not, mainly because Director Wang is Daming's best director, and he has shot several sci-fi films, so I want to invite him to make a film."

"Director Wang is good at real people, you are making things difficult for him."

Director Robert also came, he said.

"There is no need for cartoons. Live-action short films are also fine, as long as they are consistent with the content of the movie, and the pig's trotters are unified."

"You are..."

"Row!"

Director Wang Sitong reached out his hand at this time to stop the assistant from speaking, but looked at Shen Yu seriously.

He has been trying to shoot sci-fi animations for the past few years. At the same time, Da Ming's animation level is also the best in the world. He has dabbled in this area. Moreover, Shen Yu also said that he can shoot live-action short films.

He didn't have much confidence in a feature-length movie, but he didn't have much confidence in confronting Shen Yu. This person's conception, camera, painting style, etc., are really too strong, but a short film, a 10-minute short film, what is he afraid of?
He is also a genius-like person, and he is also a proud person. Of course, he can take on Shen Yu's challenge.

"Director Shen, tell me about the content requirements, background, etc."

The assistant is a little worried. He is also a director. He has experienced all kinds of bad things. At the beginning, everything that Party A said was good, but when it came to acceptance, there were various problems. He must be nailed to death now. Conditions, because he proposed this, there must be a trap.

"Director Wang, let's talk in private. After all, my subject matter is quite limited. Maybe there are some things in it that you are not interested in, or don't like..."

Shen Yu still had that shy and polite appearance, which made Zhu Yourong not far away feel a little disgusted.

This bastard is starting to trick people again, can you be a good person?Don't ask him in a soft voice every time before you bully a child, is uncle's mace thick or big?It hurts to knock...

"No need, Director Shen, I will take up your challenge. Is it just a cartoon? Tell me."

Director Wang Sitong is not afraid at all. After so many years of filming, he also has a lot of good ideas, especially sci-fi ones. It is just a 10-minute short film, and one or two of them are enough to surprise everyone.

And...he still has students and a huge production team. Daming's animation production level is the strongest, and there is no problem with those people's skills being able to beat Japan's.

"Okay, thank you Director Wang, let me first talk about the background setting of this sci-fi cartoon.

Well, the background of the story takes place in the future, after the destruction of human society.

In the 18th century, human civilization had developed to a very high level, among which robots became the auxiliary tools of human beings. Later, due to various reasons, the robots launched a rebellion.

Human beings tried their best, but failed again and again. Finally, they had to launch Operation Canopy to completely cover the sky, so that the robot army could no longer use solar energy.

However, the robot still defeated the human beings, and locked the human beings in the cultivation tank, using the chemical energy of the human beings as batteries. "

Shen Yu began to talk about the setting of the fourth season of Gotham, as well as the background of this cartoon and the subsequent live-action movie.

The Matrix.

Hacker is a Chinese word, derived from the English hacker, but the meaning of the appearance is also very good and understandable.

The fourth season of Gotham is about the future. There are two movies at the beginning, namely The Matrix 1 and the animated version of The Matrix.

The Matrix is ​​a very deep film, and many ideas need to be told in advance.

After a long time, Shen Yu finished talking, and then quietly looked at Director Wang Sitong.

"That's the storyline."

"The cartoon has been edited, and there is only one short. Director Wang, after the party is over, would you like to watch the movie with me?"

On that day, Shen Yu missed the Best Foreign Language Film and Best Director awards.

On this day, Shen Yu showed them what art is.

You are welcome to enter the pit, I have prepared the dagger, please accept it.

……

Five kilometers away from Qingsi Xiaozhu, there is a movie theater named Meilin.

This is a newly opened movie theater. The screens, projectors, and wooden chairs are all up-to-date. The owner of the shop, Guo Songlin, is preparing for tonight's movie. Eighteen tickets have been pre-sold. Not bad for Moon Shadow.

The audience entered the hall, and just as the movie was about to be shown, someone came in suddenly.

"Boss, we have reserved the venue tonight. There will be an internal movie viewing session later. Now that the movie is stopped, we will give each audience three times the ticket price compensation. It won't make it difficult for you, how about it?"

He put a briefcase in front of Boss Guo, which contained brand new banknotes.

The speaker was very polite, but Boss Guo had a wry smile on his face, "Mr. Zhou, you are a cultural celebrity, and you gave me very generous terms, but if I drive away the audience, the old neighbors will poke me in the back, really I'm sorry, if you want to book the show, when the movie is over, I'll clear it right away, okay? And I won't charge you."

"...Old Guo, forget it, I won't say anything, and I won't force you. I'll call and ask. I don't know if there is time. This is a good opportunity."

Mr. Zhou borrowed Boss Guo's phone number and called to explain the situation. Boss Guo was listening, and what he heard was Princess Yuehu, Director Shen, the bet, the preview of the new film, etc...

"You mean...Director Shen made a bet with Director Wang Sitong, and then fought against each other, and then..."

"um, yes."

"Wait a minute, the movie can stop, I'll go and tell the audience, how about letting them watch the movie with us?"

Boss Guo's eyes were shining, and at this moment he suddenly understood how lucky he was.

……

There is a video projection device in Qingsi Xiaozhu, but it cannot play a copy of the movie, and Shen Yu also said that this movie only has an edited copy, and it is best to use a large screen when showing it, and it needs good sound to reflect the effect .

The blurry tape ruined the animation.

In this case, let's find a movie theater to show it. Although it is already [-] or [-] o'clock in the evening, the guests at the scene were all very excited, saying that the dinner can be postponed, but the movie must be watched.

Except for a very few who were really in a hurry, the guests at the scene were discussing the upcoming cartoon with great interest.

Although in this era, most people think that animation is something that young children can only watch, including these people at the scene, many of them think that animation should be developed... well, no one thinks that animation can be developed to what level.

However, this is the work of Director Shen.

Just like the Shenhaicheng fashion show every year, there are many good things in it that you may not understand, but those masters will bring you surprises and surprises, and you force yourself to accept that style.

In terms of movies, Director Shen is even more famous.

You may not like his works, but you cannot but admit that he will surprise, amaze or amaze you.

There are many benefits, especially here are some well-informed people. Some people call Dongying to ask about the situation, and some even call the United States to ask the professors of the art department if they know something. thing.

Just like in the early days of the development of the Internet, one must go to several universities to find technology. The paintings, statues, etc. required by cartoons also need some big money to solve the problem.

Although it is early morning over there, or people are sleeping, there is always someone to answer the landline call, and everyone also talked about what Director Shen is doing now, let the people over there know that Director Shen doesn't care about keeping secrets, so you don't have to hide it up.

Then, some news came.

A year ago, Akiko Kawaguchi established an art company and invited some masters and geniuses in painting, sculpture, including modeling, to join the company.

She gave a lot of money, and also signed a non-disclosure agreement and a resignation agreement. At the same time, the company's rules and regulations have worked hard to keep secrets. Put money in.

But the most interesting thing about this project is that those who enter have to undergo a long period of training and self-study, but very few people quit, and one of them said this.

Director Shen's talent in animation even surpassed that of movies.

Well, that's all I've heard about the news, but everyone's curiosity has also been aroused, especially when Hiroshi Tanaka took the picture album and explained the setting of the story to everyone, everyone was very interested.

……

In front of the screen in the cinema, the assistant projected the slides on it, and Hiroshi Tanaka explained it to everyone.

Hiroshi Tanaka is a middle-aged man with thick glasses and a slightly fat body. His back is a bit bent after painting for a long time, but his voice is very loud and fluent.

A year ago, he received an invitation from Akiko Kawaguchi, and then led the team to the United States, where he met director Shen Yu.

He has watched all of Director Shen's movies, and he admires the stories, colors, and camera application in them. He thought that Director Shen would shoot some animations to interpret some backgrounds of Gotham. He is very interested in this challenge.

First, the money given was a lot, especially when Director Shen said that the budget of each animation short film starts from one million, his eyes widened even more.

Among the twelve people present, everyone's heartbeat was very intense, even uncontrollable.

A millionaire is the best title for a person to be rich in this era, which is more valuable than the billionaires of later generations.They make animations on weekdays, and an episode of three to 10 minutes can cost [-] to [-] yuan, and sometimes a few thousand can produce an episode.

The so-called million-dollar investment is unimaginable on weekdays!
Director Shen said that each person's 10-minute short film, storyline, main points, including music, painting style, character dialogue, etc., are all provided by him. What they have to do is to express his thoughts!

This is the cost of animation, and everyone's salary and bonus are calculated separately.

Whether a person pays attention to one thing or not depends first on the amount of resources invested. Although the people on site are well-known painters and animation producers in Dongying, everyone has never thought that there is such an opportunity.

"Everyone, the world set by Director Shen is in the 18th century, that is, 100 years in the future.

Our human world has been destroyed and robots have taken over the world. "

A picture after another was projected on the screen, but what Hiroshi Tanaka thought of was the scene after signing the contract.

"As a person, I have different opinions outside, but one thing is that I have never treated my friends badly in terms of money, have I?"

Director Shen ate Japanese food with everyone that day, and he ate with relish, everything was good, but the portion was a bit small.

"Yes, we are looking forward to working with Director Shen."

Each of the more than 80 people at the scene nodded like this.

Director Shen’s cooperation conditions are very strict in some aspects. For example, after participating in this project, everyone can’t go out privately. Akiko Kawaguchi will rent a community with more than 20 villas in it. Please stay in the next year. Inside, you can't go out without permission.

If the content of the project is leaked, including related things, the compensation stipulated in the contract is very high, which makes people's scalp tingle.

However, no one retreated, not only because the conditions provided by Director Shen were very generous.

This is an opportunity and a challenge for director Shen to everyone.

This cartoon did not expect to make money at the box office. On the contrary, it will definitely lose money, so don't think about dividends.

Everyone's salary is multiplied by five according to the previous income, and the salary of the leader and several big players is directly added to zero, and paid once a month.

The duration of the project is only one year, and everyone can do whatever they want after one year—of course, if the project is postponed due to natural disasters such as earthquakes and plagues, Party A has the right to apply for an extension.

Everyone wants to know, Director Shen has prepared so much money, what does he ask everyone to do?
In movies, director Shen has made breakthroughs again and again, so what does he want to do in animation?
After everyone signed the project, Director Shen revealed the true face of the project. At that moment, everyone present was amazed.

Plan No. [-], this is Director Shen's Plan No. [-]!
　Some friends said that love crash is better, but the technical difficulty of love crash is extremely difficult, and it cannot be done in this era...
