Chapter 158 Self Doubt

In the live broadcast room, Wu Qi and Lao Wang have already started connecting with each other, "Hey, can you hear me?"

"Ok."

"Ok!"

Lao Wang first introduced the identity of Lian Mai's guests. At the same time, he also put the camera from Wu Qi's live broadcast page into his own live broadcast room. "Today, I will connect with Mr. Wu and ask for news."

Wu Qi in the camera seemed to be in good spirits. Wu Qi was live broadcasting in front of his desk. He checked the time and said, "It's time to start."

Hearing Wu Qi's request, Lao Wang also nodded, and he displayed a picture of a question centered in the center of the screen, "I have some questions, I want to ask Mr. Wu, these questions are all from my fans. , as well as the comment section below the Dongfang Yinghua video, and of course the official website of Dongfang Yinghua.”

The two started the question and answer directly, and the audience in the two live broadcast rooms were also a little confused. These two people just started the broadcast, did they get to the point so soon?

Now, there are not too many people in the live broadcast room. Wu Qi wants to start early and finish early, and Lao Wang thinks so too.

"First question, I want to ask about animation production. I heard that Oriental Pictures all uses electronic painting. So what is the difference between electronic painting and traditional painting?"

Wu Qi touched his chin, "In terms of results, there is no difference, and the process is almost the same. There is one less step than drawing on paper, and there is no need to scan. The better thing is that you can work remotely. The disadvantage is that you can't I use some useful rulers, but there are layers in electronic painting, so you can often draw the middle section well without a ruler, and there are also electronic data rulers, which are more convenient."

In the camera, Lao Wang nodded, but he did not continue to ask further, "Okay, next question, I have watched a lot of videos from my peers recently, and there is an extra earth section on the official website of Dongfang Pictures, and I have met many people In the analysis of Earth 2077, does Mr. Wu have any news about Earth 2077?"

This question actually made Wu Qi raise his eyebrows, "If I say this casually, it may disrupt the publicity plan. Let's wait for Zhong Biao's actions for the specific publicity. I don't want to worry about it. I can only say that there is Your up guess is quite right."

This piece of information was quite valuable, and Wu Qi was a little surprised. Lao Wang's rhythm was still quite fast. The number of people in his live broadcast room was still growing, and two questions were asked.

Old Wang was even more surprised, Mr. Wu actually said that he didn't want to take too much care, and he also mentioned a person, Zhong Biao, Mr. Wu seemed willing to believe him.

So, Lao Wang decided to temporarily modify the next question, "Mr. Wu trusts Zhong Biao very much? How do you think he has done his job during this period?"

This question directly made Wu Qi laugh out loud, "Hehe, uh, Zhong Dart?"

"It should be okay, I don't know, I haven't paid much attention."

After finishing speaking, Wu Qi shook his head.

Old Wang seemed to understand Wu Qi's meaning, and he said with an exaggerated expression: "Is that so? I understand, I understand!"

What on earth do you understand?Although Wu Qi didn't know clearly, he echoed: "Old Wang is a smart man, he understands it as soon as he hears it."

"Ha ha!"

Lao Wang also smiled. No matter what, he will not continue to ask this question in depth, and he probably won't be able to ask more things. It sounds like Mr. Wu doesn't want to say more, so he continued to say: " The next question, can you tell me about the idea of ​​the first part of the Earth series? It is three short stories, are they connected to each other? If so, to what extent?"

It's about the new animation again. He has already handed over the task of publicity to Zhong Dart, and he has no intention of intervening. However, this issue is not bad, and it doesn't involve too much animation-related content.

"Well, these are indeed three stories. Each story is somewhat related to the previous one, but each story has a different theme."

"The themes are different? In other words, do they all have a certain allegorical meaning?"

This is true, these three stories, more or less have a little fable in it, Wu Qi also nodded, "Yes, it is not so much a fable as a thought experiment."

Thought experiment, Lao Wang has never heard of the word, "Can you explain in detail, what is a thought experiment?"

Wu Qi touched his chin. To put it bluntly, thought experiments are the writing methods often used in science fiction novels. There are many thought experiments in Liu’s novels. What humans encounter at the present stage can be deduced from the perspective of science. Acting out a story is a thought experiment.

For example, in the previous "Sunset", the original author was also doing a thought experiment.

Wu Qi thought for two seconds before he spoke, "For example, my previous "Sunset", this is a thought experiment, if there are 6 suns in a solar system, if people living on a planet have never seen the night, What would happen? Assuming a sci-fi background premise, and then deducing the story behind it, this is a thought experiment.”

Lao Wang nodded thoughtfully. This is the first time he has heard of such a creative method. He didn’t know much about science fiction before. He continued to ask: “If you want to write science fiction and do a thought experiment, you need to set up Is it the beginning and end of the plot?"

This question is a bit technical, and this is what Lao Wang is curious about. Is it just a deduction?Don't you need to worry about the story's routine when writing science fiction?
This question is easy to answer, "No, what is deduced is just the result of the story. The process in between must be well designed. For example, if the brave fights the dragon, the tragedy is that the brave loses, then if the brave wins, it will be a family fun. , if it is science fiction, the brave man must analyze the abilities of dragons, and human society must have elements of technology. Robots can be used to fight dragons, or various powerful missile weapons can be invented, and dilemmas can be set up, using technology and technology. When solving problems with scientific thinking, the ending is not important, what is important is the process of deduction and the sense of reality, and dramatic plots can be added in the middle.”

Lao Wang nodded thoughtfully, and the barrage was also in chaos.

"Can't understand!"

"I dont understand!"

"understood!"

"take note of it!"

Some people didn't understand, some understood, and some were still talking about something else. At this time, Wu Qi's live broadcast room suddenly had five more avatar frames on the barrage bar, and five people were boarded by Wu Qi. , but Wu Qi didn’t care.

Old Wang thought for a few seconds, then he continued, "Thank you Mr. Wu for your answer. The next question is about "Cells at Work". What does Mr. Wu think of this animation?"

What do you think?This question is a bit general, but Wu Qi still expressed his opinion, "Well, it's okay, they did a good job."

Lao Wang nodded with a smile, and continued to expand the question. Rather, the next question is what he wants to ask the most, "By the way, the number of followers of "Working Cells" has exceeded 300 million recently, Mr. Wu How many followers do you think it can reach at the highest?"

Wu Qi thought for a while, "I think, second, it can become the second most popular animation."

This is a very high evaluation, and it also means that "Working Cells" may surpass all BL animations except "Higurashi".

"The current No.2 is "Convex Transformation Hero BABA" with 660 million yuan. In other words, can this "Working Cell" surpass this data?"

Wu Qi nodded vigorously, "This is just a conservative estimate."

Is this just a conservative estimate?Lao Wang's pupils dilated instantly, and he was very surprised. He didn't expect that Mr. Wu would have such a high evaluation of this animation.

However, the live broadcast cannot be left in silence. Lao Wang smiled and said, "Haha, Mr. Wu is being humble. I see the current upward trend. In just three episodes, it has reached 300 million views. By the time the 12th episode is played, maybe It’s really going to hit that number.”

Lao Wang kept nodding while talking, and he also approved Mr. Wu's judgment that it is indeed possible for "Working Cells" to get this kind of data.

Lao Wang smiled again, "By the way, we all know that there is a very good-looking supervisor in the Eastern Universe. Can you tell me about Zhao Xiaoyue's supervision? For example, her abilities and specialties."

After listening to the other party's question, Wu Qi raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Ah, well, her ability is still good."

It’s okay again, when I heard Wu Qi’s answer, the barrage was full of hahaha.

"Hahaha!"

"is acceptable."

“Classic is okay.”

"It's okay to achieve the famous sentence, hahaha!"

Wu Qi continued: "If you want to elaborate, she can completely supervise an animation by herself now. Whether I give the storyboard or not, she can complete most of the planning independently. This time "Working Cells" is for them. I think she really wants to improve, and after finishing this animation, her ability should be close to first-rate."

Being close to first-class, this kind of evaluation depends on who you compare with. Lao Wang continued to ask, "Closing to first-class, where is the first-class?"

Wu Qi smiled and said, "Compare with Yue Ben."

Comparing with Yueben, Old Wang understood the meaning of the other party. He raised his head and smiled twice. He also did not expect that Mr. Wu would have such a high evaluation of Zhao Xiaoyue. For comparison, she is close to the first-class supervision, Zhao Xiaoyue is still very young, her ability is close to the first-class, that is to say, after two or three years, maybe Zhao Xiaoyue will be the first-class in the world.

However, Lao Wang remembered the identity of the person he was talking to. Casio won two awards, and he is the top in the world, but he is a small up master. Although he has some fans, the gap seems to be a bit huge. How did you convince the other party?
At this moment, Lao Wang fell into deep self-doubt, he was really a little confused, yes, Mr. Wu is so awesome, and so is Zhao Xiaoyue, he is just an up master, and he said he would ask Mr. Wu to do an interview, Mr. Wu also agreed to him, and he actually agreed to himself!
At this moment, Lao Wang felt that the world was so magical that he was speechless for a while.

　There is still a meal, 1.5 chapters, [-] words, and the chapter after the meal should also be a [-]-word chapter.
