All right!
Although it is incredible, Liang Xiaodong was indeed kicked in the head by a donkey. There was surveillance video as evidence, so he couldn't help but not believe it.
The donkey was bought.
There are two main uses: for the production team to refer to facial expressions and movements, and... to record the sounds that a donkey would make under normal circumstances.
While Liang Xiaodong was observing and recording the donkey's movements, he accidentally got into the donkey's butt and was kicked hard twice.
All I can say is, it’s difficult!
Gu Miao suppressed her laughter while patting Liang Xiaodong on the shoulder to express that this was considered a work-related injury and the company would be responsible to the end.
Although not disfigured...
However, Liang Xiaodong, who was vindictive, still gave the donkey a hard note and planned to kill the donkey and treat the production team to a donkey hot pot meal after the animation was finished.
"Okay, remember to call me then!"
Gu Miao's eyes lit up when he heard this. He had long heard that "dragon meat is in the sky and donkey meat is on the ground". He immediately said that for the sake of brotherhood, he must leave a pair of chopsticks for him.
"no problem."
Liang Xiaodong, who was patting his chest in assurance, glanced at the donkey maliciously, then snorted coldly and led Gu Miao into the house.
"This is from the American Film Studio..."
"This is the puppeteer!"
Liang Xiaodong introduced everyone to Gu Miao in turn. After shaking hands with them one by one, Gu Miao asked curiously: "Where is the finished film? Has it been cut out?"
"Cut some."
"Here, you follow me..."
In front of his computer, Liang Xiaodong played a feature film without soundtrack.
Gu Miao, who has watched the original version, has long wanted to know what the Wanbao version of "The Story of Afanti" produced by Liang Xiaodong is like.
He was very satisfied with this look.
Although the times are moving forward steadily, technology is changing with each passing day. But after so many years of puppet animation, it still has the original flavor of the original formula.
The Wanbao version of "Afanti's Story" is not much different from the original version.
The biggest difference is probably that the clarity has been greatly improved. After all, the original version was shot very early and had great equipment limitations.
Thanks to the latest equipment and the help of computers, the Wanbao version has greatly improved its clarity and picture expression.
certainly!
This is not a "selling point".
Puppet animation itself does not rely on these external objects. The place where the characteristics of puppet animation can really be shown is actually the "performance" link.
I believe many viewers have discovered it.
It is also a puppet animation. Some puppets are very "alive" and their movements are just right, making them feel like real people.
Some puppets are very rigid and lack spirituality. They are just string puppets, which makes the audience feel embarrassed.
Why is this so?
The answer is simple, performance gap!
The "performance" part of puppet animation not only determines whether the animation is "awkward", but is also a key step in determining the quality of the animation.
Liang Xiaodong did this very well.
Although he said very humbly that this was not his fault alone, but the result of the guidance of many teachers at the American Film Studio.
But Gu Miao knew what the truth was.
After praising Liang Xiaodong and his team, Gu Miao also learned from him the approximate broadcast time of this animation.
It should be the end of March.
That is to say, in about two weeks, when the follow-up finishing work is completed, the "movement review" that has been approved can be broadcast.
"Okay, okay!"
"Then I will patiently wait for your good news! Remember to call me when you eat donkey meat!"
After saying this, Gu Miao was about to get up and leave, but was stopped by Liang Xiaodong on the side.
"Don't worry, Mr. Gu!"
"I wonder if you have received any news about the general election of the China Animation Industry Association?"
Animation Industry Association?
What kind of organization is this? !
Confused, Gu Miao shook her head and said, "I've never heard of it, and I've never joined this association. Does this have anything to do with me?"
"Yes, I have!"
Liang Xiaodong said excitedly: "All of us are planning to vote for you as the president!"
Gu Miao: "..."
He hasn't even joined the association, so why should he be elected as president? This doesn’t seem to be common sense, right?
With Liang Xiaodong's explanation, Gu Miao finally learned about the "semi-official" organization called the China Animation Industry Association.
simply put.
This is a semi-official industry association, mainly responsible for connecting with the official, and it can be regarded as a communication bridge between the official and animation companies and practitioners.
The previous president retired.
Originally, according to the rules and regulations, a president should be elected from among the vice-presidents.
But the embarrassing thing is...
In the past few years, the Chinese comic industry has been in recession. The entire association lacks funding and support, and is not active enough. There was only one vice-president, but in the end, this vice-president "changed careers" and ran away.
no solution anymore.
Under this premise, everyone thought over and over again and decided to hold an "election" event. Not only the president must be elected, but at least three vice presidents must be elected.
Liang Xiaodong is an old member of the association.
A long time ago, when he first entered the "puppet animation" industry, he was recommended to join the association.
As soon as he heard that he was going to choose the president, he immediately said that in terms of moral integrity, qualifications and financial resources, who could be better than Jiangchuan Gu Sanshui?
The position of president must belong to me, Mr. Gu! Anyone else would not be able to get his approval...
have to say.
Liang Xiaodong's few words really convinced many people. Quite a few people in the association think that it seems good to have Jiangchuan Gu Sanshui as the president?
Of course, there are also objections.
Those who objected mainly felt that Gu Sanshui was too young and not calm enough. And he is not a member yet, so why should he run for president?
all in all.
Gu Miao finally understood. Liang Xiaodong really wanted to be this "Conglong hero", and the yellow robe was prepared for him.
Just waiting for him to fill out the membership application form, he raised the banner high and won the throne of the president for him.
"But the problem is..."
Gu Miao was very speechless and said: "I'm not interested in this association! It's inexplicable, why should I run for election?"
"Mr. Gu!"
When Liang Xiaodong heard this, he quickly persuaded: "You are the one who is expected by everyone, and you cannot let down so many people's trust in you!"
As expected? !
Gu Miao herself couldn't believe what she said. He has such a bad reputation in the industry, so where does he get the popularity?
"Don't believe it!"
"The people who proposed that you be the president include Mr. Xiao Xiong, Huang Kun, Ma Kui, Mr. Qiu from Konjac Animation, and Director Wang..."
Liang Xiaodong listed a long list of names, and then asked expectantly: "With so many people supporting you, isn't it considered a blessing?"
Gu Miao looked a little confused.
Why do these names become more and more familiar to me?
After a long time, everyone is in this association, but he is not in it, right?
But then again.
Although he has not joined this association, there are so many people in the "Wanbao Series", which sounds quite influential?
Is this what is called...
He is not in the world, but there are legends about him everywhere?
Speaking of donkeys, as a Guizhou native, I feel very speechless. The story of "The Donkey in Guizhou is exhausted" should be regarded as "regional black" in the current public opinion environment, right?
