A table of exquisite home-cooked dishes made everyone enjoy themselves so much that they didn't even bother to exchange a few words.
After the meal, everyone slumped on the chairs and continued talking about the topic while drinking soup.
The boss specially moved a humidification fan and placed it in the yard, and the machine whirred out cold air with refreshing water mist.
The water vapor that is sent out is all very small water droplets, which evaporate and take away the heat from the body surface the moment it comes into contact with the skin, giving people the feeling of being blown by an air conditioner.
The people gathered at today's gathering are all high-quality illustrators from Jiangdong Province, and their usual income is quite good.
Although the income of freelance illustrators is not as stable as that of original painters, as long as the painting skills are good and the level is high, there is no need to worry about income.
"Ri, I have an animated short film project here, are you interested?" Suddenly Honghong from next door asked Guan Lang.
Guan Lang cast a doubtful look.
For the production of animated short films, he only knows how to draw illustrations, but knows nothing about the work of an animation original artist.
"Of course it's not a commercial project, it's just that a few other artists and I want to try to make a twenty-minute animated short film, and then jointly submit it to Station B to see what the feedback is like?" Honghong further explained.
A hint of interest appeared on Guan Lang's face.
For him, just accepting an occasional illustration commission is enough to make him live comfortably.
So he doesn't care much about money, and investing energy in one thing depends more on his own interest.
And making animations interested him very much.
only
Guan Lang's face showed a bit of confusion.
"But I don't know anything about animation production, does that matter?"
"Okay, we are not for profit, we just have similar interests and want to make an animated short film and train ourselves by the way. And practice is the best way to learn. I can also teach you, although I have been drawing illustrations in the past few years.
, but my major in college was animation production."
After Guan Lang told her this, she didn't have any worries.
"In that case, I will join." Guan Lang also wanted to learn the process of making an animation. After becoming familiar with the process, with his drawing speed, it is not impossible to independently produce a short short film.
"Well, welcome, then our temporary small team now has eight people." Honghong touched his head and pulled Guan Lang into a WeChat group.
Several other painters listened to the discussion between the two and nodded with a smile: "It's great to be young! You can devote a lot of energy to what you want to do, unlike me at this age who can only bury my head in the work to support my family.
Draft."
Of course, Honghong also invited other friends in the group to participate in her project, but obviously, the gap between animation original painter and illustrator is too big.
Coupled with the fact that it can't make a profit, of course people don't have much interest.
Only young people like Guan Lang, who are not worried about life and are interested in learning and exercising to improve themselves, would be interested in this kind of activity.
"However, it may take a few weeks to officially start our creative activities. It will probably not start until the summer vacation. It just so happens that you are on vacation at that time and have free time. The current stage is still in the early stage of creation. Our team is responsible for the script
The creation is Cranberry. Of course, since it is a non-profit project, you only need to use your own free time to participate."
Guan Lang nodded, it seemed that Honghong didn't start this work just because his head was hot.
Although it is only a 20-minute short film, it would be extremely difficult to complete without systematic integration.
Text script, style design, screen shot design, original painting, animation intermediate painting
The two didn't discuss much at the dinner table. After all, today was a dinner party for the painters. Hong Hong said that he would further explain the specific matters to him on WeChat.
After having enough wine and food, everyone helped Master Heng clear away the dishes, chopsticks, tables and chairs before leaving the private restaurant.
Of course, today’s offline gatherings don’t just have a meal and then break up. Many people come all the way from surrounding cities by high-speed rail to come to the gathering. If they only have one meal, they may spend more time in transportation than at the party.
long time.
Everyone discussed it and decided to find a sport to play.
Someone proposed to go swimming in a swimming pool, but it was quickly rejected.
There are also suggestions for table tennis, badminton, and bowling.
But these are all the projects that have been played in previous gatherings. Many people said that they did not want to repeat the experience and wanted to try something new.
Guan Lang hesitated for a while and saw that everyone was deadlocked.
He tentatively suggested: "How about we go shooting?"
It just so happened that his plan today was to go to the archery range to practice.
Today is Saturday, and his weekly archery task has not been completed yet.
Although his archery talent is superb, it is obviously impossible to increase his proficiency while lying down without investing time.
"Archery?"
"Sounds interesting!"
“It feels okay!”
"I think it's good."
"This is pretty good."
Everyone nodded, not sure whether it was Guan Lang's special charm or the fact that archery really piqued the interest of these otakus.
Guan Lang's proposal was quickly passed with a high vote.
The local Yin Bai drove here, but his private car obviously couldn't accommodate the eleven people present.
So everyone sat on the subway to experience the archery range that Guan Lang frequented most.
On Saturday afternoon, the number of customers in the venue was much higher than when Guan Lang usually came.
Except for Guan Lang, who had several archery experiences, the other ten painters were obviously visiting this kind of place for the first time, and they seemed a little restrained.
Although Guan Lang wanted to start practicing immediately and improve his basic archery skills to level four, his first priority was to experience bows and arrows with his friends.
Seeing Guan Lang's familiarity, the painters obviously didn't come to the archery range for the first time, so they simply didn't hire an archery teacher. Each of them rented a set of arrows, and Guan Lang took him to the venue with a ten-meter arrow path to experience it.
The entire Hall No. 2 was occupied by everyone, and the absence of outsiders also relieved a lot of the nervousness of this group of novices.
Guan Lang relied on his third-level basic archery skills to provide basic teaching to ten archery novices.
The proficiency of level 3 basic archery (9/15) has reached the level of a professional archery coach, so it will not be a problem to guide this group of newcomers.
Guan Lang grabbed a fifty-pound recurve bow and showed everyone the essentials of its movements.
The movements of nocking an arrow, raising the bow, drawing the bow, aiming, and releasing the arrow are smooth and flowing with a full sense of power.
Guan Lang's tall and straight body is particularly heroic in the action of stretching his bow.
