Chapter 392: What cannot be grasped is time, and what cannot be retained is the black hair of parents.
In fact, in the early years of China, there was no shortage of excellent works in the animation industry.
It has even won many awards internationally.
But what's interesting is that since the rise of computer animation, China's animation industry has become extremely embarrassing.
The most popular thing in the country is not domestic animation, but island animation.
The big screen is not filled with domestic animated movies, but Hollywood animated blockbusters!
Back to business!
Dean Pictures was very efficient, and good news came quickly.
"Replace the Battery" has successfully qualified for the election! In other words, it has successfully entered the preliminary list!
Moreover, James Dean told Li Yi that the animated short film "Battery Replacement", if nothing else, is basically guaranteed to be selected into the final ten list!
It's mid-December, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced the list of ten films nominated for Best Animated Short Film for the 88th Academy Awards. It is also commonly known as the short film list.
There are ten animated short films in the short film list, and a round of voting is required to determine the final list of nominees. "Replace the Battery" produced by Li Yi and Xingman is impressively on the list.
The media, which had already received the notice, sent out the prepared press release as soon as the list was announced.
"Li Yi's new animated short film "Replace the Battery" was selected into the top ten Oscars for Best Animated Short Film!"
"The latest news is that the famous director Li Yi's animated short film has been selected into the top ten Oscars and is expected to compete for the Best Short Film Award. It may achieve a breakthrough of zero Oscars for Chinese animated short films!"
"Good news! The Chinese animated short film "Battery Replacement" has been nominated for the Best Animated Short Film at the 88th Academy Awards!"
"The top ten Oscar animated short films are announced, and Chinese animation "Replace the Battery" is a strong finalist!"
"The king of short films, Li Yi, is expected to be crowned, and his new animated short film will be shortlisted for the top ten Oscars!"
With the domestic media reports, many netizens are a little confused, what the hell?
"Who can tell me what animated short film directed by Dog and where can I watch it?"
"Being among the top ten seems to be the best achievement, right?"
"Poor our domestic animation, it's too difficult. I hope Li Yi can create a miracle!"
"If he wins an Oscar, he will truly be the king of short films!"
"I just want to ask, where can I watch it?"
"What the hell is the name of changing the battery? I can't guess the content at all!"
"Penguin Video and Cool Cat Video have both announced, and the short film directed by Dog will be released soon!"
After the Oscars announced the top ten list, Penguin Video and Cool Cat Video began to fully promote the animated short film "Replace the Battery".
Li Yi's short film itself has natural appeal, and with the blessing of being among the top ten Oscar nominees, this short film immediately attracted countless attention.
Because the more inadequate you are, the more you crave for recognition.
In fact, similar news has appeared in the past. If you are often qualified to participate in the election, many media will report it, but in the end, it often does not even make it into the real first round of selection, that is, the top ten selected from the qualified film list.
But this year, many netizens feel that they have great hope, because this year’s shortlisted animated short film is directed by Li Yi!
Li Yi himself is recognized as the king of short films. In addition, his co-production with Hollywood "A Dog's Purpose" was a great success. Therefore, Li Yi's animated short film should be the most promising to compete for the Oscars in everyone's opinion.
Once. This makes people even more curious, what kind of animated short film will Li Yi launch this time?
At 0:00 a.m. today, "Replace the Battery" will be officially launched on Penguin Video and Cool Cat Video.
Many movie fans and animation enthusiasts have long been looking forward to it.
Tangze is one of them.

"Director Li Yi's work!"
"Replacement battery"!
Accompanied by soothing background music, familiar subtitles appeared, which was the name of the short film "Replace the Battery", leaving Tangze a little confused.
The camera moves from top to bottom, and an old rural house appears in the distant view.
Although it was an animation, Tang Ze couldn't help but nodded because the texture was very good.
When the screen switches, the first thing you see is on the cabinet. The photo in the first frame is a family portrait of a family of three.
In the second photo frame, there was only a photo of mother and son. There was a calendar hanging on the wall! The calendar showed that the time was January 5th!
The camera moves deeper, revealing an old woman with white hair sitting alone with her back to the camera.
“Tuk-tuk-tuk!”
There was a knock on the door outside.
The old lady stood up and walked over to open the door.
There is a cardboard box at the door.
The old woman dragged the cardboard box into the house.
"It says: Mom, I'm so sorry that I can't go home to be with you this year. This is a gift for you!"
When the old woman saw her son's message, she sighed and seemed a little disappointed.
I don't know why, but seeing this, Tang Ze felt inexplicably sad.
The old lady must have been looking forward to her son coming home for a long time, right? But it turned out that after longing for her son, her son still couldn’t come home!
She must be very disappointed!
Grandma opened the box and took out a robot!
She turned on the robot's button, and the screen showed her eyes opening, and the robot saw grandma for the first time!
The robot helps grandma clean the house and water her beloved flowers and plants...
Grandma was sitting on the rocking chair at the door. After the robot finished doing these things, she sat down and watched the sunset with her!
He would also watch TV with her until she fell into a light sleep, and the robot brought a small blanket to cover her!
Grandma woke up and was a little surprised to see the blanket, and then saw the robot sitting next to her, watching TV with relish.
The TV just happened to show a preview of the opening of the circus, which will be on the 5th of next month.
The robot looked very happy when he saw it. He seemed to want to go take a look!
The old lady saw the robot's happy face and secretly remembered it in her heart.
In the evening, the robot had dinner with grandma. While grandma was eating, the robot drank engine oil. His mouth became dirty after drinking, and grandma helped him wipe it clean!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The robot just looked at grandma and asked grandma to help him clean it strangely!
The light on his chest flashes and makes a chirping sound, and his battery is almost out of power. If it runs out of power, he can't open his eyes and has to sleep!
At this time, grandma will help him change the battery.
Seeing the robot open its eyes again, grandma smiled happily.
She reached out and touched the robot's head, and the robot smiled happily.
When grandma comes back from shopping, the robot will always greet her immediately and help her get her hat and carry things!
When grandma coughs, the robot will always bring her a cup of hot tea as soon as possible.
Grandma also prepared engine oil for him.
The robot happily holds the engine oil and laughs.
The circus that the robot likes is about to open. He ran into the house like a child, took out his calendar, and pointed at the calendar as if to say, the circus is opening today.
Grandma remembered that she had already bought two tickets, so she took them out!
I was afraid that my memory would be bad so I gave my tickets to a robot for safekeeping.
I can finally go to the circus show with my grandma. The robot is so happy.
The robot hung the calendar back on the wall and took out grandma's straw hat.
When I came out, I found that the old lady seemed to be asleep!
The robot looked at grandma sleeping and shook her hand, but grandma was still sleeping. He reached out and pulled grandma's pocket, but it was empty.
He should be thinking: "I will fall asleep as long as the power is out. Is grandma running out of power?"
It doesn't matter, this time it's finally my turn to help grandma change the battery!
He walked into the house, opened the drawer, took out a battery and put it into grandma's pocket!
But grandma is still sleeping.
Is one battery not enough?
Grandma is older than me, so she should have more batteries, right?
So he ran to the room and took all his batteries to grandma!
But he put a lot of batteries in grandma's pockets...
Grandma didn't even open her eyes! The battery fell on the floor.
Grandma's hand dropped, but the robot didn't understand. He hugged her and said, "Grandma, wake up quickly. Let's go to the circus..."
But grandma never woke up again...
From now on, no one will clean the robot anymore, it will become dirty.
He still swept the floor and watered the flowers. After doing this, he always sat on the steps and watched the sunset as usual.
But the rocking chair where grandma was sitting was already empty.
He was holding a straw hat and looked so lonely!
The robot kept waiting for grandma to come home, but grandma never came back.
Finally, the robot is almost out of power, and he is going to sleep. Maybe he can see his grandma when he falls asleep, right?
Drowsily, he opened his eyes!
Wow, grandma is back!
Wow, it’s really grandma!
Grandma, where have you been? I miss you so much!
You are finally back!
He took out the two tickets he had kept and waved his hands proudly. "Grandma, look, I have always kept the tickets well! Shall we go to the circus?"
Grandma stretched out her hand and took the robot's hand.
He finally waited until grandma took him to see the circus! So happy, so happy!
Grandma holds the robot's hand and walks towards the circus in the distance. The short film ends.
Tang Ze didn't know when he burst into tears!
The last scene gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, just like in the story of the loyal dog Hachiko, who waited until his deathbed to find his master.
Tangze feels that the robot is like himself when he was a child...
But I don’t know when it started. I rarely go home anymore, and every time I go home I am always in a hurry.
It’s been a long time since I spent time with my mother, eating with her, watching TV with her, bathing in the sunshine with her.
I don’t know when I started to dislike my mother for being nagging and became less dependent on her. But when I was a child, my favorite thing was to pester my mother, and the happiest thing was when my mother took me to play.
