Early the next morning, Li Yi went to Guoke Film and Television.
Before that, he provided a large office specifically for the employees of the special effects team.
The purpose is to allow them to have better communication.
As for the outsourced special effects company, Li Yi has neither control nor control.
When the time comes, it will be enough for him to just check the finished special effects.
When the employees saw Li Yi, they were surprised.
Because generally speaking, Li Yi would not come to the company to inspect so early.
Who doesn't know that Li Yi is a hands-off shopkeeper.
"Hello, Brother Yi."
"Good morning, Brother Yi."
Li Yi walked up to them and said with a smile: "How is the animation production going?"
Song Weihong immediately said: "No problem, Brother Yi, it's up to us!"
"Okay then, let me tell you something."
Li Yi's words made everyone prick up their ears.
They all wanted to know if it was about the movie.
Li Yi said: "I have always flattered leaders with abilities, so Xiao He was a talent I accidentally discovered before, but because he is really young and has no good works, so let's start with the work of "The Devil Boy Comes into the World"
Pause, let’s spend a week making a one-minute short film, and whoever gets the highest score will be the grading director, how about that?”
Immediately, he looked at Xiao He: "Xiao He, do you agree? You want to challenge people from your former company."
Xiao He had already made up his mind, so he nodded and said: "Agree."
Li Yi looked at everyone: "If you participate in the classification director's challenge, then in the next week, you will make a one-minute animated short film."
When Song Weihong heard this, she clenched her fists.
He felt that this time was a rare opportunity.
He can't miss it!
Li Yi looked at the people around him and found that Song Weihong had the strongest fighting spirit, so he said: "Wei Hong, please register how many people are challenging for the position of classification director, and then provide me with a list."
"Okay, okay!" Song Weihong glanced at Xiao He, and then shouted: "Everyone who wants to sign up, hurry up!"
All of a sudden, many people came to Song Weihong's office seat, and they all signed up one after another.
The reason why everyone covets this position is not only because they want to test their own abilities, but the most important point is that they feel that Xiao He's ability must not be as strong as theirs!
Li Yi believed in Xiao He's strength, so he left after just a few simple instructions.
As soon as he left, the programmers in the office started discussing.
"Hey, what theme do you want to make an animated short film on?"
"Ah? Well, I didn't think about it."
"Well, we are all good brothers. Let's think about it together and then try to make one of us the classification director."
"Pull him down, how can we handle it?"
"It's different, come on!"
In this way, during this week, everyone in the office stopped the animation production of "The Devil Boy Comes to the World" and worked on their own challenge products.
Li Yi told Chen Yanyu about this matter.
Only then did Chen Yanyu react: "Yes, I should have thought of this."
"It doesn't matter. This can be regarded as a kind of training for Xiao He. When the time comes, he will be able to become the classification director." Li Yi; explained.
Chen Yanyu was a little curious, "Are you so sure that he can do it?"
"Of course, he is a talent I have discovered and must be qualified." Li Yi said confidently.
Time passes day by day.
The programmers who originally participated in the registration challenge gradually lost their fighting spirit.
On the first day, everyone was very enthusiastic.
Someone dropped out of the challenge the next day.
The third day......
Day four...
People kept dropping out of the competition, but at the same time, there were also people who stayed up night after night for this short film.
Among them are Xiao He and Song Weihong.
Needless to say, Xiao He naturally, but Song Weihong wanted to defeat Xiao He in one go and sit in the seat she wanted.
The time came a week later.
Only ten works were submitted in total.
Chen Yanyu was very surprised. She never expected that of more than 100 people who signed up, only ten completed the finished product.
Li Yi was not surprised.
Because he knows that many people are hot for three minutes.
Li Yi did not immediately select the best one from the ten works.
Instead, the right to choose is given to all employees.
He said: "I know that your aesthetic is the best, so now you choose the best work!"
One of the employees, Pang Dehai, patted his chest and said, "Come on, take a look at mine first. I guarantee you won't have to choose after reading it!"
He played his work very confidently.
After more than a minute, all employees were silent.
Because they didn’t understand what it meant at all!
"Actually, this is an abstract production. I simplified the lines to create a feeling of working when the sun rises and breathing in when the sun sets..."
Pang Dehai kept explaining.
But at this time, Chen Yanyu shook her head and said: "When we make a short film, the most important feature is to make people understand it, rather than to listen to the producer explaining it, Dehai, you have forgotten the basics."
When Pang Dehai heard this, his expression froze.
Indeed, he had forgotten this most basic requirement.
He thought he was going to make a short film that was different, but he forgot this basic principle.
Pang Dehai blushed and walked back to the crowd.
Suddenly, everyone became curious.
Normally everyone says they have many ideas, but now they are full of loopholes when working alone.
Second work: It takes too long.
The second work: The theme is not clear.
...
Slowly, there are not many works left.
Song Weihong was secretly happy when he saw that everyone's works had failed.
Finally he stood up and played his short video.
As soon as it was broadcast, huge special effects appeared.
Everyone was shocked.
Song Weihong produced a space station story in space.
The theme is simple, but the production process is very difficult.
Li Yi saw this and nodded. So far, this is the first work that he can watch.
After two minutes, the play ends.
Everyone agreed that this is probably the best work.
At this point, Li Yi looked at Xiao He and asked, "Has Xiao He finished?"
Xiao He nodded.
His bloodshot eyes seemed to tell everyone that he had completed a very good work.
Everyone is also looking forward to what kind of work Xiao He can complete.
Xiao He walked up and played his short film.
A name appeared at the beginning of the film.
"Father and Daughter".
After Li Yi saw it, he felt that it fit Xiao He's characteristics very well.
After all, Xiao He values feelings.
So it’s only natural to use this theme as a concept.
The film first unfolds to the sound of brisk organ music. A father and his young daughter ride bicycles to the seawall together. The father leaves in a boat while the daughter watches from a distance.
After her father left, her daughter began to look forward to his return. She rode her bicycle to the beach every day to see if her father was back. Gradually, her daughter began to grow up, her hair grew longer, and she had more friends. Then she fell in love, had her own life, and even
She is a child, but her daughter always rides to the beach to take a look at the sea and see if her father is back...
Until the sea surface dried up and even grew weeds, the gray-haired daughter came to the seaside again and stepped into the sea she had never stepped into before.
Suddenly, she found a small boat submerged in the sand, which looked like her father's old boat.
She walked slowly, as if she saw a scene.
I saw my father, I saw myself as a child, and I hugged my father at that time...
The film is very short, only two minutes. The whole film is a kind of expectation, looking forward to the father's return. In the end, it only gets a happy ending with the accompaniment of dreamy piano music.
What the daughter hopes for is her father's return. When people are alive, they always have some expectations, but it is a pity that their father cannot come back.
When the short video ended, everyone in the audience was silent.
Some people's eyes even turned red.
An employee who was over 50 years old suddenly said with emotion: "So many years of expectations have now been shattered. How sad this little girl must be."
Song Weihong saw everyone's reactions and understood in her heart.
