Start with a god-level director

Chapter 169 Run, run!
Shen Haicheng, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China.

Li Dongxu is a third-year student, majoring in electronics, who likes all kinds of entertainment and novelty.

This evening, he suddenly received a call from a good friend asking him to hurry to the Plum Blossom Theater not far from the school. Director Shen was about to play a cartoon.

The production cost of this animation is as high as 2000 million Jinlong Yuan, and it is Director Shen's proud work. If it is not for fighting against others, it will definitely not be released now and so on.

The call from a good friend made Li Dongxu very excited. He picked up his coat, rushed out of the school gate, and came to the Plum Blossom Theater. Fortunately, a few good friends used a trick to snatch one for him. The ticket for the first game, tell him that you will be responsible for fetching hot water for me next month.

"Don't talk about hot water, I'll take care of your breakfast next month!"

Li Dongxu is a movie fan, and even a loyal fan of Director Shen. He has watched each of Director Shen's movies many times. He likes Director Shen's ever-changing, but innovative style. I didn't look into it, but now I have to say thank you for giving me an experience I have never had before.

He loves such a director to death, he never gives you leftovers!
"Look, that's Director Shen!"

The friend poked Li Dongxu's arm and asked him to look behind him. Li Dongxu nodded, but he didn't bother Director Shen.

He is a loyal fan of Director Shen, but he is not the kind of person who must get in close contact with him. On the contrary, he thinks it is better to keep a certain distance from his idol. He only cares about Director Shen's movies and nothing else.

"Everyone, before the movie starts, let me give you a background story, otherwise, you may be confused and miss the essence of the movie."

There was a middle-aged fat man with glasses, holding a microphone, and talking about the setting of the movie in front of the big screen.

Electronic computer, chip, network technology, robot, virtual reality, battery, awakening, mother body... In just 15 minutes, the fat man said a lot of terms that made people dizzy, but made college students very interested.

They are exposed to high technology all day long, how could they not have guessed what the future will be.

Ordinary people may be confused listening to these things, but they are very happy.

Now that mainframes have appeared, it is certainly possible for personal computers in the future to have a calculation speed of tens of billions or hundreds of billions per second. Who said it would not be possible?
Maybe 34 years from now, the personal computer will appear.

By the way, the tick-tock theory that the development speed of the chip doubles every fourteen months is set in the story. There is no problem at all, and it is too cool.

Is this a scientific law invented by Shen Yu?

Or, is it a group of people's guesses about the future?
With this setting alone, it's great!
The road show is over and the movie begins.

First, the first story

This story is about a fight between a man and a woman.

Another Earth, this one is in the Matrix cartoon, which is completely used to show off skills. I don’t know how many people are attracted by the posture of the beautiful women in the story, and they are hooked.

It's a pity that Shen Yu was not able to restore this 3D image. Even the big teacher said that without a high-performance computer, it is impossible to draw a movie with primitive means.

but!

but!

but!

Why must it be 3D?
The ultimate battle of the first story of The Matrix, 3D rendering, comes from the advancement of computer technology decades later, many of the details are beyond Shen Yu's reach, but what is the cartoon of this era?
Remember Doraemon and the clever Ikkyu?

It is the mainstream manga and animation of this era!

Although, because of the existence of extraordinary beings, the cartoons of this era are a little better than those of the same period in another time and space, but they still have the problems of old-fashioned, thick lines, etc., and even the beauties in it are just a small round face or an awl. The face, from the perspective of people decades later, is very bad.

Then, this episode is easy to solve.

It's the same story, but the painting style is changed, hand-painted, and the beautiful 2D image of the beautiful woman in the future, the bear should be bigger, the waist should be thinner, the thighs should be straighter, and the movements... You can download it from the master's library , pick out the appropriate sub-shots and actions, and then express them!
I'm sorry for the 3D picture, I can't restore you, but I can use 2D picture to express it, and I have the best painters in my team, they have gone through the training manual written by me (the great teacher), regardless of the cost, regardless of the cost, In a purely manual way, I drew a scene of a beautiful woman fighting with a man!

The 2D battle screens are also very beautiful, such as Stranger: No Emperor's Blade Tan and so on.

As long as you are willing to burn money, it can be very beautiful.

So, is Shen Yu someone who cares about money?

then……

……

The ultimate battle, at the beginning, was a training program similar to that in "Virtual Program". Black men and Asian women fought with katana swords and Chinese swords respectively. It's really a love affair. They are about to be together. The mechanical octopus who doesn't know how to play Just come and make trouble.Although the command ship Pluto spaceship tried its best to escape, it was still forced to the sky above the abandoned city, where they saw unbelievable scenes and encountered the deadliest siege. The heroine was sent back to the mother body for destruction, but Pluto The spaceship couldn't hold on anymore.

Jump, jump, and go for it!

Wang Xudong blinked, and then blinked again, or rather, he didn't blink at all, but calmly looked at the beautiful woman who appeared on the movie screen!

I rely on...

When animation was developed, many painting masters said that this thing completely violated aesthetics, and at the same time tarnished the palace of art. Whether it is Eastern freehand brushwork or Western oil painting, animation is not very worthy of attention.

And in later generations, when many people criticize cartoons, one of the points of attack is that you are not drawing characters, you are selling meat!
Why do animations sell meat?

This point of attack is very interesting. In fact, we should ask, why can the sales of animation and manga be successful?

Yes, in reality, there are so many beautiful young ladies and big sisters, and so many resources. If you don’t love them, why are you obsessed with Two-dimensional and angry at paper people?
Because, two-dimensional beauties are angels, beautiful, pure, and beyond human imagination!

blah blah blah!
When Wang Xudong saw that gentle beauty, his heart was beating non-stop.

It's not 3D, and it can't be 3D, but it can be more beautiful!
Shen Yu directly abandoned the flat face in the original book, and chose a beautiful woman with a gentle style at the peak of 2D as a template.

Don’t underestimate this template. It’s a character created by animators who invested countless funds, energy, and manpower for decades, and then optimized, integrated, and changed countless times under the selection of the market.

Her every frown and smile are incomparably alluring.

Then, it was put into 30 years ago by Shen Yu, 21 years after the end of the war. At this time, the small round face and melon face, but the lines were considered beautiful, and then, with a bang, it exploded in front of these young people !

She is the goddess of everyone's dreams!
She is Bujima Yako, she is Tifa, she is Shikiri, she is Mai-senpai...

Wang Xudong only felt a little fever in his nose, as if something had entered his heart, making him feel...

Director Shen, Director Shen, I really didn't know you had this talent!
Hiroshi Tanaka just added a sentence after introducing the setting of the movie.

The story, characters, setting, painting style and various aspects of the animated version of The Matrix all come from Director Shen. He has determined various directions, and they are just trying to follow Director Shen's thinking.

With the flash of swords and swords, the beauty's clothes fell one by one.

Swords clashed, clothes fell off one by one, and the bodies of beauties and men's strength were revealed little by little. Both male audiences and female compatriots enjoyed watching each and every one of them. Just when Wang Xudong felt like hurry up , at the moment when the two of them were eye to eye and almost kissed, the siren sounded.

The scenery around the two people changed rapidly, from the fighting arena to darkness, and then the two people woke up from the virtual reality and found that the electronic octopus was coming towards the spaceship.

Is this virtual reality?This is really so much fun!

But Director Shen, you are a bastard, why don't you let the electronic octopus come later?
We're going to see the last scene, we...

Shen Yu is sorry, he still can't restore the 3D scene in the middle, but it doesn't matter, let's go to 2D!

Everything is hand-painted, that is, women have entered the virtual reality again, and then there is that amazing jump and tumbling.

This made the audience gasp in surprise, because such a scene has never appeared in animation, or even in a live-action movie!
Movies, animations and even songs, many shots that later generations think are very ordinary, were placed decades ago, they were all existences, even in 2D, it is the same!
She flew in the air like a bird, she was as vigorous as an elk, and she rushed towards the dim light with everyone's expectations.

The girl landed, dialed the phone, gave hope to others, and fell to the ground, dead.

On the other side, the electronic octopus rushed into the spaceship and ended everything.

end of story.

The green numbers poured down from the screen, and Wang Xudong's mind was still immersed in the story that shocked him so much.

How could it be animation? How could animation be so good? Also, I used to watch the animations of Little Urchin and I Love My Family. Why is it also called animation?

Wait a minute, Director Shen, can you play it again?
He didn't understand this story, why men and women suddenly turned into different worlds, why the girl died, why the man was surrounded by so many mechanical monsters?

Director Shen, wait for your audience!
He also wants to see the girl's body, he's such a scumbag!

The story continues to move forward, just like the footsteps of the times continue to move forward.

The second and third stories are a story introducing the historical background of The Matrix, which is also a story full of information.

The story describes how human beings rely on the labor of robots, but how much they disrespect robots. In the end, a robot rose up and caused the death of its human master, and was sentenced to death. This caused human discrimination and hatred against robots, and random destruction of robots broke out all over the world. Riots; some robots had to concentrate to build a new country, and sent representatives to make peace with humans, but they were framed.

Then the robots counterattacked, MATRIX was formed, and only the ZION base was left for humans.

In another world in 2000, everyone could easily accept some of them, but 30 years ago, the audience was dumbfounded.

What are these?
For example, the girl who was beaten was torn off her scalp the next moment and became a robot, and then continued to be beaten violently and became a part.

For example, a robot like a mountain fell into the garbage dump.

Such as the tragic battlefield, the disappearing sky, crazy battles, and desperate people.

Everything is going on very fast, and countless information is flooding it.

Then, when human beings turned into batteries, when countless red training cabins towering over the sky appeared, Wang Xudong's heart beat involuntarily.

At this moment, it was different from the previous jump, but it also made him extremely shocked.

There are two things in the world that can shake people's hearts: one is the lofty moral standards in our hearts; the other is the brilliant starry sky above our heads.

The words Director Shen said came to his mind. At this moment, what he saw was not a brilliant starry sky, but an endless hell, but it still shocked his heart.

The curtain fell, and the era of mankind came to an end. In the ruins, the little boy ran towards his parents, but what he saw was...

robot.

The green numbers poured down from the screen again, Wang Xudong only felt that the storm in his mind was violently colliding, and countless thoughts, inspirations, and information converged inside. Director Shen opened a door that he had never thought of before!
cartoon!
sci-fi movie!
All of this, he never thought of it!

Dear director Shen, let your movie stop and wait for your audience, okay? I want to be quiet, I want to think, you don’t have to finish it all at once, I want to discuss with people, I want to know...

However, I would love to see the next short film even more!
……

Director Wang Sitong sat in a good position, besides Robert and Mr. Feng, there were several young technologists beside him.

This is a time of rapid change, with more TVs and smaller radios, people talking about spaceships, space satellites, waking up every day to hearing about technological advances, and enjoying beautiful.

Microwave ovens, ovens, cars, etc. have entered thousands of households, as if science and technology can solve everything, the entire earth has been conquered by humans, and everyone thinks that the moon is no problem.

Those young people founded a new company, proposing that sooner or later they could turn landlines into portable phones. They are striving towards which direction. They are even a little proud, thinking that ordinary people will not understand what they do.

But... At this moment, they were staring at the movie screen intently, as if they wanted to remember everything in their minds.

"Fuck... that phone call, it was really cool."

"I think the design is very good, so thin and light, but I don't know how to make the electronic components small and how to get the battery in."

"However, that thing is beautiful. Have you seen it? It fits the shape of a person's hand very well."

Those few people whispered, until they were knocked by the people in the back row, they stopped talking in apologetic manner, but they all continued to watch intently.

"Director Wang, Shen Yu is nothing special, you..."

Robert also came, and he whispered to him, but Director Wang Sitong felt bored for a while.

"Don't talk, watch a movie."

The third short film is another style, the story of a teenager.

An internet boy suddenly received an invitation to awaken, and was about to "break through the net". However, can the spies of the mother's body let him go?

This is a very simple story, but the painting style and camera are very sad, and it explores the relationship between life and death.

Director Wang Sitong just watched quietly, without any expression on his face.

The boy is running in the classroom, and the picture is a little distorted, but it doesn't violate the harmony at all. Instead, it makes everyone think it's too good, like freehand brushwork.

He believed Neo, and he rushed to the truth.

At the end of the story, the boy died and was reborn.

Although at this time, many people do not understand.

After all, the amount of information is too great.

But...he has never seen such a style of painting, which perfectly shows the appearance of a person running, and most importantly...surpasses live-action movies.

Yes, no matter how much this animation is filmed with a live-action movie, it will not be able to achieve such an effect!

This is freehand brushwork, Shen Yu actually used the freehand brushwork in Chinese painting to comics!

Another style!
……

Then... the fifth part, the virtual program.

A true-false game between the hero and heroine in the virtual training program, in Japanese ninja style, with extremely sharp movements.

This is a story that explains the previous one and connects the past and the future.

Although in the eyes of future generations, it is well-behaved, but those young people are very enjoyable to watch, and they have accepted the setting of the story, especially the last knife, poignant but decisive, it is really fun.

The battle between the two kept changing the scene, and it also made everyone understand what virtual reality is.

The girl thought that the man had betrayed everyone, so she swung a knife with tears in her eyes.

Then, the two returned to the spaceship, and the girl discovered that the male instructor was actually testing him.

This story raises a question, is the virtual really inferior to reality?In other words, someone must devote himself to virtual reality...

It's really... a groundbreaking action scene.

Really, it is a setting that makes people think to the extreme.

By the way, this story has a strong Japanese style.

300 years ago, Daming learned about the gold and silver mines in Dongying from nowhere. The navy occupied it and mined it for 200 years, which made Daming complete the important part of industrial civilization, the reserve of heavy metals.

However, they disliked the poor land and frequent earthquakes of the Dongying people, and did not include them in the country.

After all, so many people will die if you open a mine, you can't die like a native, right?

……

Coming down is the sixth part, which is also Shen Yu's favorite one. How does a top sprinter and world record holder rely on his own strong mind and physical strength to break through the limitations of the virtual world and finally be able to see people outside of MATRIX? Real world stories.

The black protagonist has a strange color. Of course, there are also changes in it. For example, the world record of the male protagonist has changed from 9.98 to 9.45 seconds, because although extraordinary people are forbidden to participate in sports competitions in this world, people's physical fitness is better.

When the rhythm sounded, and when the running was beating the heart like a drum, the mood of the audience burned up involuntarily.

This is a story about freedom and hard work, and it is also a story with unique characteristics.

It's not as good as the restoration, and the hand-painted without computer processing of light and shadows is always a bit problematic, but who cares?
In other words, this has been very surprising.

It's a 70's tech backdrop, what more could you ask for?

In other words, this peak picture, what more do you want!
This animation is the pinnacle of the Matrix animation version.

Everyone at the scene was silent. At this moment, they were all shocked by this kind of aesthetics that they had never seen before!

run, run!
This is true beauty!

I don't need anyone's acknowledgment, including Jinlan Award!
I just need to lead the way!
