tearjerker director

Chapter 391: Nominated for the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film

"How long will it take to make this short film?" Li Yi asked.

Zhang Haiyang finally showed a smile this time and said: "This short film is very simple, and it will definitely be made in a month at most!"

"So fast?" Li Yi was a little surprised.

"The main reason is that the content of this short film is very simple. If you want to go faster, you can directly use ready-made resources. If there are no special requirements for the original character paintings and scenes, it is very easy to make!" Zhang Haiyang said with a smile.

"Okay, if this short film is made, if the effect satisfies me." Li Yi smiled and looked at Zhang Haiyang and said.

"Don't worry, Mr. Li! We will do our best!" Zhang Haiyang said solemnly.

Li Yi is not short of money, Zhang Haiyang knows this.

In fact, what worries Zhang Haiyang the most is that Li Yi is not short of money, but he has money. Li Yi may not necessarily ask Xingman to produce his movie, but he can find a Hollywood animation production company to cooperate with.

It saves trouble and effort, and the key point is that he must also admit that even if he is given enough funds at present, it is difficult for him to truly produce works comparable to those produced by top Hollywood animation companies.

This gap is not only a technical gap, but also an artistic aesthetic gap.

For example, Li Yi, he may have a complete composition in his mind, but he doesn't understand animation production technology.

However, those who understand animation production technology may not be able to have both artistic aesthetics.

The point is, this kind of person does not need one or two, but has a lot of needs.

The gap is all-round. Hollywood's animation film production, especially computer animation production, is much ahead of China!
Therefore, Zhang Haiyang urgently needs such an opportunity, because the slow development of the domestic animation industry, especially the movie sector, has a lot to do with the lack of sufficient capital to promote it!

Simply put, whether it is artistic aesthetics, production technology, or experience, etc., it requires a lot of actual combat to improve.

And the country is the most lacking in this area!

The reason why Li Yi took out this short film for Xingman to do is because he wanted to see what kind of effect Xingman could make.

Li Yi was exhausted after filming the two movies in succession.

So it's natural to take a good rest.

This time Li Yi did not choose to go abroad for fun, but wandered around the country with Mu Dao.

Take a look at the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.

During this trip, Li Yi and Mu Qing can be said to eat wherever they go, but they have tasted a lot of special delicacies from various places.

When they arrived in Quancheng, Fujian Province, Li Yi and Mu Qing came to the old street to find a supposedly authentic specialty snack shop here.

As a result, they saw an old man walking past them on a tricycle, and a loudspeaker on the tricycle was playing a sentence repeatedly!

"If you sell dry wine, you don't have it" "If you sell dry wine, you don't have it."

Li Yi suddenly had a song of the same name and a movie in his mind!
"Is it that one? What's the matter?" Mu Qing pointed to an old shop not far away, but she couldn't help asking when she saw that Li Yi was distracted.

"It's nothing, I thought of a story!" Li Yi shook his head and said.

"What story?" Mu Qing asked curiously.

"If the wine is sold for nothing!" Li Yi said with a smile.

"What do you mean? Hokkien?" Mu Qing was surprised and curious.

"Well, it means 'Is there an empty bottle for sale?'!" Li Yi said with a smile.

"Why this name? What kind of story?" Mu Qing asked.

"Let's go, let's go eat first, and chat while eating!" Li Yi smiled and took Mu Qing's hand and walked towards the old shop not far away.

While the two were eating authentic snacks from this old shop, Li Yi told Mu Qing the story.

"How is it? You have been resting for a long time, are you interested in telling this story?" Li Yi looked at Mu Qing and said.

"Why don't you take pictures yourself?" Mu Qing asked with her big eyes blinking.

"For this type of film, your female directors are more delicate." Li Yi said.

"If you want to make a film, I suggest you find the local officials in Quancheng. This movie describes the changes and development of a city. You can cooperate with the local officials, and it can even be used as a promotional film for the city!" Li Yi thought for a while and said. .

Although this movie is remembered as the background of Treasure Island, but in fact, it can be any city in Fujian.

And since it is a memory triggered in this city, it is a good story to shoot it in this city.

But soon, Li Yi regretted it a little.

Because in the next few days, Mu Qing kept urging Li Yi to write the script, but after Li Yi wrote it, her mind was full of this movie again, and she didn't even have the initial interest in playing it.

At this time, Li Yi also received a call from Zhang Haiyang, and the short film had already been made.

Li Yi simply ended the trip.

Mu Qing went to work on the new movie, and Li Yi came to Xingman Animation.

"It was made so soon?" Li Yi was a little surprised.

"The main reason is that the content of this short film is relatively simple, and there are relatively few materials involved! Does Mr. Li want to watch it first?" Zhang Haiyang asked while explaining.

"Well, let's take a look!"

Zhang Haiyang took Li Yi to the company's internal screening room.

The short film was not long, and Li Yi finished watching it soon.

He was actually a little surprised, because the version made by Xingman was better than the original short film in Li Yi's memory. The texture and details of the picture made him think it was much better.

Of course, although the original is an Oscar-winning short film, it is older.

However, even so, it was enough to satisfy Li Yi.

Zhang Haiyang was actually a little nervous. Although Zhang Haiyang thought that this short film was very good, he still didn't know if it could satisfy Li Yi.

This is related to whether Li Yi will hand over the new animation film to Xingman in the future!
That's why Zhang Haiyang is worried about gains and losses.

"Very good, it's a bit beyond my expectation! Let's do this, I will send you a script for the big animation movie later, and you can think about it later, whether it can be done, and to what extent it can be done , How long will it take, how much money!" Li Yi smiled and affirmed the short film that Zhang Haiyang and the others worked hard to produce, and then said with a smile.

"Thank you Director Li for your trust!" Zhang Haiyang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What do you think, using this animated short film to compete for the Oscar for best animated short film?" Li Yi suddenly asked with a smile.

"This? Is it possible?" Zhang Haiyang suddenly asked excitedly.

Although among all the Oscar awards, the Best Animated Short Film Award is always a category that has been neglected by authority.

But for Zhang Haiyang, for Huaguo's animation production company, this is still a top award, and its influence is definitely top.

"I can ask Dean Films. There should be no problem in participating in the election. Of course, it's hard to say whether I can win an award!" Li Yi said with a smile.
