Start with a god-level director

Chapter 168 A Movie For You

In the movie theater, Hiroshi Yamamoto continued his presentation on the screen.

"what……"

In this era, cartoons are very rough, and comics are the same, so Batman's comics are so popular, a big reason is that the style of painting is very good-looking, and even created a genre.

The cartoonist who worked with Shen Yu has always been very low-key. When everyone praised him, he said that Director Shen is the biggest contributor to the Batman story. He proposed the story, the outline, and even the standing drawings of the characters, etc. , all refer to Director Shen's opinion.

Everyone said that the cartoonist was modest, and Director Shen is not a god. How could he be omnipotent? Director Shen has contributed a lot to Batman comics, but his drawing skills should be average, otherwise he would definitely do it himself, right? ?
Otherwise, during that time, why did Shen Yu work in Hollywood and play tricks instead of drawing Batman comics by himself?
Even Director Shen said that he did not draw well.

At least that's what Hiroshi Yamamoto thinks, he adores the author of the Batman comics and thinks he's pioneered something, and he even contacted that person a few times to see if he could help animate the work.

The picture album on the whiteboard turned to a new page. Many people were amazed by the appearance of the mechanical octopus. There were also lifelike battleships and cities destroyed by war, just like what they saw at that time.

"My painting level is average, and I don't have time to hone it, so if I don't paint well, please understand."

On that day, Director Shen gathered everyone together and let everyone see the setting and standing pictures he drew.

When everyone was flipping through the photocopied album, they all involuntarily opened their eyes wide. Who said Director Shen's painting skills are not good?If he draws Batman comics, it will take the comics to a higher level!
"I'm sorry, at that time I was more interested in the industry of directing, so I just provided ideas and asked a friend to help draw the comics. Take a look, can my drawing skills be good?"

Director Shen's hypocrisy made everyone despise, talent in the art industry is more useful than hard work.

The 12 leaders, and dozens of others, were quickly fascinated by this unprecedented setting. More importantly, the details and style of painting provided by director Shen made everyone burn for it!

Shen Yu used 91 points to improve manga drawing from beginner to proficient (before it was higher, it was lowered after Xuanwu Ding)!
Maybe people who are proficient in painting will be looked down upon by artists, but Shen Yu is proficient in comics and has a lot of knowledge about future comics, plus there are countless future good works in the master's database, these are enough.

Hundreds of years ago, comic strips, brochures, meticulous paintings and other things similar to comics were published all over the world. 60 years ago, animation appeared. At that time, some images were hand-painted, and then the paper was flipped to form a continuous picture. , Generation after generation began to study.

Storyboards, perspectives, actions... Just like the progress of science and technology, animation is also constantly groping for a way forward. Everyone doesn't know which way is correct, and they don't know which style of painting can make the audience feel like.

After all, compared to movies, animation has great congenital defects, such as the inability to express complex expressions, hand-painting takes a lot of time, action scenes are difficult to express, etc., 60 years of development, but ordinary people think that animation is for people. Children can express some ordinary and simple things.

But who would have thought that Director Shen would actually give eight paths, eight paths leading to Rome and the Forbidden City!
The eight booklets were hand-drawn by Shen Yu based on the first eight cartoons of The Matrix. The pictures are incomplete. Each animation has only [-] or [-] pictures, and there are a lot of lines and blank characters in the middle. , Let everyone present be extremely excited!

"Mr. Hiroshi Tanaka, the style of painting you set seems to be different from the animation style we usually see?"

Someone raised his hand and asked, Hiroshi Tanaka knew him, he was a big boss from the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts.

He was looking at the album curiously, wishing he could post it to the nearest to read.

"Yes, because this is a brand-new, subversive animation, Director Shen proposed the idea, and under his guidance, we have made some achievements.

Guys, do you remember the Batman comics?That is the creativity and words provided by Director Shen, and what we can do is to implement Director Shen's intention. The original paintings of these settings are all directed by Shen! "

Hiroshi Tanaka never thought about taking the credit for it, because everyone who participated in this project knew how lucky they were!

Compared with mature modern painting, whether it is meticulous painting, clear painting or oil painting, animation is a completely different art, just like if a chef in a restaurant goes out to make box lunches, he will lose 100% of his money. Animation It is necessary to strike a balance in manpower, material resources and time, and then win everyone's love in a simple but not simple way.

Director Shen's amazing and talented painting style, clean and neat painters, understanding of the animation industry, etc., shocked everyone present. His creativity and thinking were unprecedentedly sharp and terrifying. His talent captivated everyone. And he taught everyone selflessly.

"The reason why I chose live-action movies is not that I don't like animation, on the contrary, animation is my favorite, but animation is a thing that requires manpower and material resources, and it takes a long time to produce results.

My personal energy is limited, I can only hope that you will make better and more exciting cartoons, and then let everyone understand that you are also artists. "

Director Shen bowed deeply to everyone, then took out the brochure and distributed it to everyone.It records his experience about lines, outlines, mirroring, etc., which shocked everyone.

In the words of the Ming Dynasty, Director Shen Yu and Shen opened the scripture storage pavilion of Zhenwu Hall for everyone to see.

Some people may have other thoughts at the beginning, but after reading this, they all changed their minds.

No one wanted to leave, everyone devoted their utmost enthusiasm and energy to study and work. Before drawing animation, everyone studied and pondered the things provided by Director Shen for a full three months!

But even so, when the movie is completed, everyone is very sorry, many things did not meet Director Shen's expectations.

For example, in the first story of the Matrix movie, the animation of a man and woman fighting swords, director Shen said that in fact, it is best to use 3D modeling and then draw it out, which is similar to real people. Unfortunately, everyone has been thinking for a long time, but in the end it still failed. In the end, I chose the 2D method.

"This is the setting map of The Matrix..."

He explained the story, but his thoughts returned to those passionate years.

……

Plum Blossom Theater.

"Huh? Why are there so many people outside?"

When Shen Yu and others arrived by car, they found that a lot of people had gathered at the entrance of the cinema, including reporters and ordinary citizens.

"Director Shen, it's like this. After hearing that you are going to play a cartoon, some viewers want to stay and watch it. Also, it's the school over there..."

The owner of the movie theater greeted him warmly and explained to Shen Yu at the same time.

Among the ticket buyers of the last movie, there were college audiences—this kind of niche film, often only college students like to try something new. They heard that Director Shen wanted to borrow a movie theater to play a cartoon, so someone called In the school, tell everyone, come and see the Bull Demon King!

The news spread quickly, and many college students jumped over the wall and ran out, thus creating the current chaotic situation.

"Director Shen, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I..."

The person who arranged was sweating a little, Shen Yu smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Give me the microphone and I'll give you a speech, okay?"

"Okay, okay."

The owner of the movie theater quickly handed the microphone to Shen Yu, and Shen Yu stood directly on the steps, beckoning everyone to be quiet.

He thanked these people for coming.

"Students, seniors, seniors... don't laugh, I'm only 22 years old, and many of you are older than me!"

Shen Yu's first map shot made the college students burst into laughter.

This Director Shen is really too much. What are you doing so young? Many of them will be scolded by their parents when they get home, saying that they know how to pick up girls and play with them when they go to school. Why don’t you learn from Director Shen Yu? After graduating from university, you started to work steadily, and accumulated three years to become a blockbuster. You are younger than you. Are you ashamed?
"Thank you to the juniors and seniors, the juniors and seniors skipped school or skipped classes or came out to watch movies if they didn't abide by the dormitory rules. Thank you for your support. I am very happy to have an audience like you, because I did similar things back then.

Today's movie is an animation, the fourth season of Gotham, when I filmed it, it was for young people! "

Shen Yu pointed to his young and handsome face, touched his beardless chin, "Not long ago, an audience member wrote to me, saying thank you for Uncle Shen's movie... Pooh, I'm only 22 years old, I'm still young , Didn't I just shoot a few dramas with relatively dull themes before, and then I was regarded as an uncle?
I know that some viewers say that I am not old but my heart is old, that I only know how to dig out the heavy human nature, but I don’t know the youthful years, but in fact, as a social animal, I can tell you that in the production team Donkey, also looking forward to spring!

I pull the grind every day to please the mainstream audience, but I still look out the window and dream of spring and flowers blooming one day.

Therefore, I split into two groups, shooting live-action movies while working hard for my passionate youth, thus, there was the fourth season of the Gotham series.

The fourth season of the Gotham series is about technology, the future, the bright starry sky, the vast universe, and an incomparably gorgeous future.

These are exactly what our young people love most.

I won’t say much, thank you all for coming, I will ask people to count the number of people present, please cooperate, everyone will line up in the order of first come, first come, I will jump in the line, and take people to watch the first scene first.

Waiting in line is very troublesome, so everyone has a small bonus, the cinema is not closed tonight, as long as friends who come can watch movies for free, I also cover the restaurant opposite, everyone, please have a set meal in there - abalone and sea cucumber I can’t afford it, it’s a waste of everyone to order eight cold and eight hot dishes at once, and the seats are limited, so I invite everyone to have skewers and drinks. By the way, there is no beer, so resolutely don’t drink, or the principal will come back and trouble me.

Everyone line up, you can go to eat and wait after you get the number plate, friends who are not in line, please wait, welcome to come tonight, thank you. "

Shen Yu's words made the police who maintained order breathe a sigh of relief.

They heard that people gathered here, and they were very worried. What they were most afraid of was this kind of situation, and the person in charge only cared about his own interests and reputation, and kept stirring things up, eventually causing a catastrophe.

Director Shen knows the ways of the world and knows that large-scale crowds will cause problems. He even booked restaurants in the surrounding streets and provided free food and beverages to disperse the audience, so that everyone should not gather together.

And Shen Yu said these words, which attracted countless applause, and the college students below were all very happy.

"Okay, Qianzi, please find someone to explain the setting of the movie at the door. After all, this cartoon is a bit deep, and if you don't understand the setting, it may be a mess."

"Tanaka Hiroshi, you cooperate with Qianzi."

"What about you... Find a copy shop and ask them to help copy materials, print as much as you can, now is not the time to care about money, first disperse the crowd and find something that interests them.

Also, college students are good, they are all elites, and they are asked to help with money, including maintaining order, and the money is enough. "

While giving orders, Shen Yu turned his head and said to the guests, "Welcome everyone, come and watch my movie."

……

This movie theater is very big, a theater can accommodate thousands of people,

Everyone wanted to invite Director Shen to sit in the first three rows, but he said, forget it, I have watched this movie too much, so it is not like this.

He came to the last row and sat with Xiao Lizhu.

"This is Plan No. 4?"

Xiao Lizhu was about to cry from her own stupidity, how could she have thought that the plan No. 4 conspired by Shen Yu was the fourth season of Gotham?

Shen Yu, please be yourself!

Who would have thought of this?

"Ah."

"So, is there a plan for No. 3?"

Xiao Lizhu blinked, then blinked again, and asked.

"Yes..."

"Really?"

"Well, there is not only plan 4, but also plan 2 and plan 3. For example, the third season is also quietly being prepared. Alas, you don't know how many things I prepared to prepare for the decisive battle with the Wudang faction back then... ..."

Shen Yu sighed leisurely, but quietly glanced at the people around him, Wu Yuanyuan, that peeping tom, 100% pricked up his ears.

Heh heh, heh heh, let you hear how affectionate I was to you back then!
"Don't talk here, there are too many people talking."

"It's nothing, the head of the Golden Elephant has been defeated, there are some things to say, let's not mention the No. 3 plan, we watched a movie, this is a cool, very good animation, Li Zhu, also dedicated to you animation."

"what?"

Xiao Lizhu was taken aback.

"Have you ever thought about being the heroine in a movie?"

Shen Yu asked like this.

"what?"

This time, Xiao Lizhu was really stunned.

"In the fourth season of Gotham, the animated film is a side story, and there are mainly nine live-action films. The first one is called The Matrix. It tells the story of a man named Neo. He fell into the virtual world, and then in a beautiful With the help of his girlfriend, he saved the world, and Lizhu is the heroine (Xiao Lizhu is completely different from the actress, Shen Yu used Xiao Lizhu's portrait instead of the original version)."

"I'm the heroine of a movie?"

"Well, in the animation, there is a woman whose appearance is drawn based on you. You are the heroine. That female character is heroic and beautiful like a fairy."

"I don't shoot."

Xiao Lizhu categorically refused.

"what?"

Shen Yu was taken aback.

"I used to think that I would never meet a man who made my heart beat. I used to think that I would spend my whole life alone. The castle of my heart was not open to anyone, even if a knight knocked on the door, I would not agree.

But... I fell in love with someone now, he is a very good man, he is so outstanding, self-disciplined and calm, I will only like him in my life, only let him in, and close the gate of the castle from then on.

Ayu, thank you for your kindness.

Movies are a form of artistic expression, I like them very much, but in the shooting of movies, there will always be some physical contact or love each other, I can't accept this kind of situation, Shen Yu, I'm sorry, in my life, I will only let that person Touch me, touch me. "

She said softly, but quietly stretched out a hand, and put it in Shen Yu's hand.

Her palms were a little hot, her heart was pounding, she leaned her shoulders on Shen Yu's shoulders, and looked at Shen Yu with her eyes.

"……thanks."

Shen Yu froze for a moment, and finally nodded.
