This was the first time in Chen Yiwen's life that he had heard this definition of himself. If he was really cunning, he wouldn't have gone out early in the morning and felt a pain in the back of his head while walking, "Boom!" Qin Qing heard a sound.
She was riding her road bike and speeding by on the road next to him. She still stretched out her hand and pinched her knuckles in her fist. Apparently she had just passed by and hit him on the head, which was considered revenge for Chen Yiwen's previous verbal abuse.
Chen Yiwen covered the back of his head with tears in his eyes and looked at Qin Qing who was flying away. He felt a FUCK in his heart and shouted in her direction, "Don't poke me with the waist needle!"
Qin Qing, who was standing up to rock the car in the distance, stumbled at the waist and almost fell down.
…
Watching the girl's retreating figure, eating and sleeping with Qin Qing, it was another day full of energy.
Chen Yiwen rubbed the back of his head and walked to the library with satisfaction. He sat down in the library, turned on his tablet, and logged into his cloud computer. The deadline set by the organizer was now very close, and the short film production was coming to an end. All parties involved
They are all charging, and there is a rhythm like the final charge of a hundred-regiment battle.
Although it is said to be a competition held by Qingshan City, this kind of competition is actually rare in China at this time. You can know that short video communication is called a type of new media, and you understand that this time and space is still in the entertainment industry.
A stage that is gradually relaxing from the blockade and is relatively scarce.
This competition held by Qingshan City once attracted a lot of attention. Universities in other cities in the country are paying attention. The short video competition for college students to express their creative skills and story connotations also represents the aesthetics of young people.
, also caused a wave of craze in the Internet industry.
Chen Yiwen entered the discussion area on the official website, and all he saw in the article was "The 'Visual Arts Community' tour group came to watch!" "I came here from the animation short film bar. I heard what my friends said, come and see the works of students from famous schools!"
"Come on, come on! Watch!"
The organizer of the competition first revealed some highlights of the outstanding works submitted by each school and released them for discussion in the comment area. For those who came from other communities, post bars, and were attracted by a promotional clip of a certain work, pay attention to this
The people who participated in the event started discussing it in the discussion section below.
"These students are very strong. I always feel that college students are not as good as veterans after all. I didn't expect the final result to be so good."
"That's not true. These students are rich! Just look at the engine and you will know. They often use the 'Douhun' tool. The annual license fee for the professional version of Donghun is 39,000... I can't afford it. I can't afford it."
…”
"I originally said that I would learn to make short films, but now it seems that it is impossible to even get started..."
"Do you think it's just software bought by students? The school also supports it. I heard that some schools have opened their own accounts and used dozens or millions of tools, so that these animations can be produced that are comparable to blockbuster effects! Schools
You have to compete, and you have to put money on your face! You have to be willing to spend money to get the prize!"
"Furthermore, have you seen that many of them are advertising animations produced for merchants? What's the deal behind this...don't you understand..."
"From today on, who said that animation production does not require money and can only be done by relying on free resource sites? You can stand up. The work produced by a group of students cannot be produced by thousands of software tools. Other students use it.
Those who compete are all professional-level!”
…
In relevant forums, there has always been a dispute between the tool party and the hobbyist party.
The hobby party simply likes to create animated short films and likes to experience the feeling of being a director and producer. Those who join the forum mostly want to exchange animation ideas, stories, and shooting techniques.
Tool addicts refer to those who get started using new production tools released by major companies as soon as possible. They use professional corresponding software of different companies for different scenarios, pursue the details of various rendering parameters of the software, and are very familiar with all kinds of data details.
a group of people.
But as more and more people pretend to be cool in recent years, the trend among tool parties is that the more expensive the tool, the better. Professional tools start at 20,000, which is still despising the bottom of the chain. Those with more than 100,000 are considered entry-level, and dozens of
Thousands of tools can attract their attention and be discussed tirelessly by all parties. Millions of people basically have a worshipful tone.
As for ordinary enthusiasts, those who join simply because they like this, in the eyes of the Tool Party, can just sit back and play with splicing and editing, make birthday videos and some small animations for children, whatever heavyweight works they want to produce,
Are you kidding me?
Those works of great masters and the paid resources in high-end resource sites, you can see when you open them. Each one is more explosive than the last with special effects, and they are all made with money.
There is no endorsement from a big corporate company, a blockbuster advertisement, or animation works produced with a lot of money to make money for the commercial market. These are not things that simple enthusiasts can afford.
Originally, this Qingshan City College Student New Media Video Contest would give fans some hope. After all, everyone is not a master and cannot buy or rely on companies to use expensive tools and resources.
Some people simply want to make an animation to satisfy their creative desires and realize the idea of heroes fighting monsters in the animation.
However, the student works released by the organizer can be said to have dealt them a ruthless blow.
The watermarks of the software used by these students under each of the beautiful videos are all extremely eye-catching, they are all high-end products!
Those dynamic watermark effects, those lifelike characters, those hairline processing techniques that reveal every detail, without high-end software and resource libraries, would just look dull and would not be visually impactful!
Because the contrast is very obvious, the organizer has not released some student video samples produced by low-end software. However, in terms of clicks and views, it is obvious that those short films with sufficient visual effects at first glance have gained the most popularity.
And those short films produced by ordinary software that are obviously inferior in quality have only a very small number of clicks. It is not an exaggeration to say that no one cares about them!
This is the comparison effect. Facing a short film with higher-level tools and outstanding effects than the previous one, people's eyes will only become more picky, which makes ordinary works simply not appealing to them.
No matter what your story is or how creative you are, what’s the point of stories and creativity when people don’t even want to click in to take a look because you don’t look good?
This is the naked reality.
This is why large companies with monopoly positions continue to develop their own more advanced and more expensive tools and software.
This is competition. People are increasingly pursuing the explosion of special effects, because everyone's time is becoming more and more limited, and they are less and less willing to experience a story. It only needs to be glamorous and beautiful, and to give enough visual impact.
This is an era of technological explosion, and this is also an era of content bubble.
It's completely empty and insignificant.
The visual explosion is enough.
The flowers are so charming, but it doesn't matter how the most amazing flowers bloomed after the frost.
Because he doesn't look good.
…
"Let's break up, let's break up... I'm thirty years old, just an ordinary worker. I came into contact with this three years ago. I like to create animated stories by myself, but I can't afford high-end tools. I originally wanted to come and have a look, but now college students have them
What kind of story ideas... But looking at the current situation... I have seen several videos that actually have good ideas, but they have seventy-five clicks.
The one next to me has no creativity at all. It is just a video showing beautiful girls made with high-end tools dancing in bizarre scenes. I don’t even know what he wants to express. Look, it has 170,000 views! I just asked how many people
Did you click here to see those girls’ legs!?”
Then there were comments below, "Sorry, I came here to see the legs!"
"Look at the legs..."
"+1"
"+1"
"+1+1..."
Some people also said in the comments, "Who still writes scripts, draws storyboards, thinks about composition and tells stories these days? Nowadays, young people will listen to your stories, as long as they are cool and sexy enough!"
"The concept is about to change..."
"Now is the era of large-scale production... With high investment and high returns, large software companies are almost monopolizing technology, and small software companies will basically become increasingly unable to survive..."
…
…
This is what the comment section contains.
Chen Yiwen had searched a lot before, and the reality revealed after summarizing this information was the reason why he had made up his mind that "The Adventures of Chen Da Hammer" was more suitable for him to compete in this environment.
First of all, although he now has more than fifteen thousand yuan in his pocket, the software that this money can buy is simply not good enough. He cannot make large-scale productions, cannot compete with others in terms of graphics, and is unnecessary.
In the time and space of the previous life, there was a similar work. In the visual storm and dazzling various animations, it was with an expressionless poker face, saying the iconic "Remember running under the sunset that day, that was my lost youth."
"The lines, with special text effects and nonsensical conflicts, trigger absurd satire on some real-life events and stand out.
The style and inspiration of this work also draw reference from a spoof anime that was also popular in Japan.
Without exception, similar styles and spoofs caused a sensation in Japan and China at that time and space.
Although it is just a flash in the pan, it does not affect the semi-phenomenal effect caused by this style.
People even thought later that if this domestic work at that time had not been impacted by the fast-paced Internet and pursued popularity, but instead made the follow-up more solid and dug deeper into a more layered script, it would have completely created a phenomenon-level existence.
of.
That was back in the golden age of nonsensical movies in Hong Kong, a time when people had already experienced countless jokes and were extremely funny.
In this current time and space, the standard of humor in the entertainment world is mime like Chaplin, which is also a high-level humor.
But the subculture of Wu Li Tou has never appeared before.
Chen Yiwen's "The Adventures of Chen Dachui" is of course not a copy of those works from the previous time and space, but it closely adheres to the nonsensical expression style and designs the plot with the core of comedy's ruthless mockery of reality, no matter how absurd the plot is and how dull the characters are
Poker face, it doesn’t matter how terrible the special effects of the whole scene are.
These are just carriers, just like home-made "heartless cannons", the simplest launching vehicles, which are loaded and fired with ammunition with huge destructive power.
And it is still unknown what kind of noise this cannon will make.
