Maintaining a good relationship with reporters is an essential communication tool for a filmmaker. He loves water, so when faced with a dinner invitation from a black female reporter, Yi Feiyang accepted it without hesitation. This is not because he is greedy for beauty, although this black woman
Pearl looks very voluptuous and nice. However, Yi Feiyang dated her for the sake of "mutual benefit" for both parties. Obviously, his doing so had an effect.
A few days later, the latest issue of Hollywood's "New Movie Magazine" was put on the shelves, and this exclusive interview was published as well. When talking about Yi Feiyang's animated film this time, people from all walks of life gave mixed reviews.
Someone said, "God, stop joking. Is this Chinese Yi really a genius? How dare he challenge the field of animation?"
Others said, "China Yi just doesn't take the usual path. Let's see how it goes against the grain this time!"
…
"Ha, China Yi is dreaming again, and it's an animation dream, but I don't know if it will turn into a nightmare this time!"
"Don't make us American audiences look stupid. It's easy for China to make cartoons. Haha, you'll laugh out loud!"
…
No matter what, Yi Feiyang, a mischievous and troublemaker in Hollywood, always attracts the attention of Hollywood, even if he wants to keep a low profile.
Along with these public opinions, the animation "Speed Snail" has quietly begun production and filming.
The shooting of cartoons is different from the shooting of ordinary movies. Generally, movies need to select male and female protagonists, need extra actors, need pomp, need photographers, need... In short, there are a lot of things that you need to deal with, and shooting animation is the easiest and also
The most difficult thing. What is easy is that you only need to face the computer, face the sketches, and face the script to build the story structure. What is not easy is that drawing production and computer design are all technical activities and are not something you can fiddle with.
The camera can shoot it well, and the protagonists of the movie can't be shot just by following the instructions. They are not people. To be precise, they are just animations conceived by you. You give them life, emotion, life and experience...
From beginning to end, you are God, you are God!
But this God is the hardest to be like.
Yi Feiyang himself does not have very sophisticated animation design skills, and he basically learns and sells them now. But fortunately, Steven Spielberg is definitely a good teacher, or a terrifying teacher. The only tricks he teaches his students are
One, that is practice!
In just one week, he asked Hao Yi Feiyang to watch all the classic cartoons produced by Disney, Fox, and DreamWorks, and asked Hao Yi Feiyang to dismantle and reassemble every shot of these cartoons.
This is definitely a huge project.
Think about it, there are at least tens of thousands of shots in a cartoon. If you take them apart one by one and then reassemble them, it would definitely be very cheating.
Yi Feiyang's eyes are red, his beard is unkempt, and he has lost half a weight. Now in his eyes, in his mind, and even in his sleep and dreams, there are groups of moving animation pictures. In a word, this guy has become obsessed!
Obsessed, Yi Feiyang followed the script of "Speed Snail" he created and led computer special effects artist Mike, animation designer John and people from DreamWorks to create the racing story of "Snail Turbine".
At first, their speed was very slow, even slower than the snail Tebo in the drawing, so slow that they could only do a dozen frames of animation a day.
…
Such hard days continued, with pain and joy at the same time. At the end of April, Anne Hathaway was about to go to New York to take a dance exam.
During this period, Yi Feiyang was distant from her. On the one hand, he was too busy. On the other hand, in Yi Feiyang's own words, he didn't want to disturb Annie and wanted her to pass the exam with peace of mind.
Anne Hathaway felt aggrieved that Yi Feiyang didn't visit her. Although the relationship between the two has not been truly established, which girl doesn't want her boyfriend to be by her side forever?
Anne Hathaway took a plane from Los Angeles to New York. After arriving in New York, she did not call Yi Feiyang. In fact, she just waited blankly by the phone, hoping that the phone would ring suddenly, and then
Yi Feiyang's plain yet sexy voice appeared, "Hi, how are you?"
However, Anne was disappointed. After arriving in New York for nearly three days, Yi Feiyang did not make a single call. This made Anne Hathaway very sad. Yes, she was very sad. She felt that Yi Feiyang did not have herself at all.
The dance exam ended soon.
Anne's outstanding performance on the stage was praised by the judges. Faced with these compliments, Anne was not happy at all.
In the locker room, a
The classmates who were taking the dance exam each picked up the phone, either to report the good news to their families, or to call their boyfriends to complain. Only Annie was holding the phone, but she didn't know whether to press those numbers. That was Yi Feiyang.
's phone number.
Just when Annie was holding her cell phone in a daze, the cell phone rang.
As soon as Annie saw the number that called, her heart beat faster. Yes, it was a damn guy. This was the first time he called since she came to New York.
Anne took a deep breath, trying to appear calm, and answered the phone.
"Hello, is this Annie?" said the other end.
"Yes, it's me, are you...Yi?"
"Of course it's me. Why, we haven't seen each other for a few days and you can't even recognize my voice?"
"Oh no, I just...why did you call me suddenly?"
"Haha, I just want to confirm, how did you do in the exam?"
"It's okay."
"What do you mean by okay? Did you pass the test or did you not pass the test?"
"It's passed." Hathaway said softly, how she wished she could share this news with the people she likes, like now.
The person on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, then burst of excitement, "Great, I knew you could do it, yes, I said you were the best, didn't I!" Yi Feiyang looked very excited.
Listening to the other party's "crazy words", Anne Hathaway felt sweet in her heart. She spat into the phone and said, "Don't be so alarming, it's just a small test."
"What, to be able to enter the greatest university in the United States, how can this be a small test? Our Anne is too modest!"
Hathaway was extremely happy when Yi Feiyang said "Our Annie", but on the surface she said: "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to hang up, wait until I get back, okay?"
"Of course. I will pick you up at the airport when the time comes. Remember, take good care of yourself, otherwise I will feel uneasy."
Listening to her beloved saying such caring words, Annie felt warm in her heart. She hung up the phone gently, she breathed out, and looked at the classmates next to her who were still chatting with her boyfriend on the phone.
Congee, Annie smiled sweetly. She no longer envied them. On the contrary, she felt that her boyfriend was the best in the world, and she was the luckiest girl!
…
Here in Los Angeles.
Yi Feiyang hung up the phone on the street, put the phone into the pocket of his windbreaker, and then turned up the collar of his clothes, not because he was too famous or to hide his face, but because there were still some people in Los Angeles in April.
It's not as cold as Hong Kong, it's almost as cold as lips all year round.
Today, the super scary "animation teacher" Steven Spielberg showed a rare kindness and gave Yi Feiyang a day off.
Yi Feiyang was trying to survive the disaster. He first called Anne Hathaway who was going to New York, and then prepared to take a taxi to run some private matters.
Someone here may want to ask, why didn't he drive his own car? Didn't he buy a new car when he had money? The reason is simple, this car was borrowed again.
Yifeiyang regretted it. He regretted that when he bought a car, he just bought a cheaper one, but he couldn't help but fat man Gao Jiabao was annoyed, and finally bought a BMW that looked very cool.
Then, Yi Feiyang's days of driving without a car began. Guys like Gao Jiabao, Rabbit Bill, and Jack Black would make excuses from time to time. One said he wanted to go back to his hometown to enjoy the scenery, and the other said he wanted to borrow a car to look good.
The car doesn't work... In short, Yi Feiyang's newly bought car, he didn't even drive it a few times, but let these people borrow it.
Yi Feiyang sighed, should he put a sticker on his car saying "My wife and my car will not be loaned out"?!
At this moment, Yi Feiyang walked to the side of the road, stopped a taxi, and after asking the taxi driver, took the taxi to an area near Hollywood.
This area is close to Hollywood, so every inch of land is very valuable. It is called the "Golden Rental Area" because most of the people who live here are small stars who rent here. Because the land price is too expensive, they cannot afford to buy a house here.
, and I like to save face, so I rely on renting to live here. I think it is very down-to-earth, and maybe one day I will suddenly become famous.
In fact, because so many people gather here to dream of being stars, the house prices here have always been high, and the rental fees are the same every year. Rather than renting, it is better to buy directly. Of course, the premise is that you must have money.
.
The reason why Yifeiyang came here is because he wanted to buy a house
Son. For a long time, he and Fatty Gao Jiabao have been renting and living in Mrs. Lawrence's old and decaying building. The old building would crumble every time there was a storm. In the words of Fatty Gao Jiabao, this is not a house.
, maybe it will become a tomb.
Under Fatty's nagging, Yi Feiyang couldn't help but plan to move.
It would be too embarrassing for the two of them to be squeezed into a small room, especially the fat man and he both like to throw away their socks and trousers randomly, so they often wear the wrong things of the other person; in addition, the room is too small and the environment is too
Poor, and a bit too inconsistent with their current status. You know, Rabbit Bill and Fat Jack have bought a small apartment, and they always invite them to have a "barbecue" on the rooftop of the apartment. It's nothing more than borrowing money.
He wanted to show off. This made Yi Feiyang himself feel sore. He felt that the boss was worse than a clerk.
Having made up his mind to move and buy a house, Yi Feiyang went out to look for a house himself. Fatty Gao Jiabao originally wanted to follow him, but he was kicked back to the company by Yi Feiyang because today happened to be the employee's pay day.
As someone who has experienced this, Yi Feiyang remembers, “We must never delay the payment of wages to migrant workers!”
