Chapter 66 A Mixed Feeling

"Did she not come today?"

"No, the counselor is very busy."

"Suke was a recognized star in our department back then, with countless admirers and pursuers." Fan Chao recalled, with a trace of emotion on his face, as if he missed that time very much.

Li Yi also listened with great interest. He didn't expect that his counselor was once a department beauty?But thinking about it carefully, Su Ke is quite beautiful.

"Is she married now?"

"Not sure, but I heard that he is still single." Li Yi said.

Hearing this, Fan Chaoran's eyes lit up suddenly, but then dimmed again.

This series of changes in expressions were all seen by Li Yi, and he suddenly understood. It seemed that among the many "admirers" of the counselor back then, the senior in front of him was also included.

Next, Fan Chaoran chatted with Li Yi one by one, but he always returned to the counselor Su Ke after going around. Li Yi was not impatient, but looked at the senior counselor of unrequited love, which was quite interesting of.

Finally, it seemed that Fan Chaoran also felt that he had talked too much about Su Ke, so he changed the subject.

"You are a freshman this year, and the school asked you to come to the exhibition. It shows that the school is also trying to develop the animation design department. Unfortunately, the animation design department of Imperial University has a weak foundation, and it is not easy to develop it."

Faced with Fan Chaoran's preconceived ideas, Li Yi couldn't explain much, and it was true that the school gave them three days off to participate in the exhibition, and the counselor Su Ke brought Li Tianxing and the three to meet and cooperate with Dida The boss of the animation company must also have the idea of ​​​​supporting him.

And through talking with Fan Chaoran, Li Yi also got to know Fan Chaoran.A gamer who strives to be an original artist in the game industry but cares about the development of Chinese comics.

This time, Fan Chaoran took advantage of the name of the original artist of the game company to get a work card and entered the venue.

"If nothing happens this year, the Golden Dragon Award may still be awarded to foreigners. Although there is still a gap between our Chinese comics and foreign works, it is still possible for us to catch up. Junior, you must study these foreign works carefully in this exhibition. "

"Learn for the rise of Guoman."

As soon as the word "Rise of Guoman" was mentioned, Fan Chaoran's whole person was like a small universe erupting, sweeping away his previous melancholy and decadent temperament.

Li Yi nodded.

"Let's go, junior. I'll treat you to a meal."

"to make."

Li Yi glanced at Li Tianxing and the others who were still immersed in the video game room, and followed Fan Chaoran directly to go out for dinner.Although there are snacks and snacks on site, after all, they don’t taste like staple food.

The two found a place to eat cross-bridge rice noodles, and then returned to the exhibition together.

The afternoon is the time to announce the works nominated for the Chinese Comic Con.

The location was moved to a new exhibition hall a few hundred meters away from the original exhibition building. At this time, the exhibition hall was crowded with people.

Li Yi and Fan Chaoran finally walked into the lobby with their work badges and the jealous eyes of many anime fans outside the door.

The three of Li Tianxing had already waited here after receiving news from Li Yi.

"This is Fan Chaoran, a senior from the animation design department of grade 14. He is currently working as an original graphic designer for a game company."

The three of Li Tianxing looked at Li Yi in surprise. They didn't expect Li Yi to meet a big boss after only a day of coming here.

"Hello, Senior Fan."

"Hello, Senior Fan."

"."

"Let's stop standing there and go in quickly." Fan Chaoran said with a smile.

The four people entered the hall. The exhibition hall was like a large cinema, divided into upper and lower floors. There were already many people sitting at the scene. Li Yi, Fan Chaoran and the other five casually found a seat at the back and sat down. Waiting in small talk.

After all, Fan Chaoran has been in the society for many years, and Li Tianxing and the three of them were all amazed when he came out with some knowledge.

"Today, 24 works nominated for awards will be selected, and the information on these works will be updated on the official website of the China International Animation Festival. Then the organizing committee will judge the awards, and three days later, the awards ceremony will be officially held. At that time, the network will also broadcast live simultaneously." Fan Chaoran explained in a low voice to Li Yi and others.

Soon, the nomination exhibition officially began.

The host came to the stage. This is the opening speech by the founder of an animation company. After a long speech, it finally ushered in the beginning.

The award and nominated works will appear on the big screen.

Fan Chaoran's breathing became rapid, and Li Yi, Li Tianxing, He Shang, and Sun Hao also became a little nervous.

The screen kept flashing.

Best Short Film Award Nominees:

"Fish and Dragon" Director: Li Mi
"Complicated City" Director: Lee Joseph.
For each work, an animation poster appears on the left side of the big screen, and a list of producers appears on the right side.

The screen kept passing by.

Every time a nominated work appears, someone will stand up excitedly, and the lights will hit these nominees in a timely manner.Others just looked at these excited people with envy.

"Hit, Hit a Big Watermelon"

Director: Li Yi

Screenwriter: Li Yi

Lighting: Li Tianxing, Li Yi

Modeling: He Shang, Li Yi

Sound effects: Sun Hao, Li Yi

"Hit, Hit a Big Watermelon" appeared on the screen.

"Yeah! Nominated!" Li Tianxing, He Shang, and Sun Hao jumped up and hugged Li Yi tightly.

Li Yi looked at his name appearing on the big screen. Although he had made various preparations before, he was still a little excited at this time, but he was trying his best to restrain his excitement.

On the other hand, Fan Chaoran looked at the name that appeared on the big screen in a daze, and then mechanically turned his head like a puppet to look at the four young people illuminated by the light.

At this moment, he felt that his brain was not enough.

Are these four young people here to compete?
And the people around were also surprised that Li Yi and the others were so young, they looked like university students.

As the nominations for the following awards continue, the Best Animation Director Award, the Best Animation Music Award, the Best Animation Screenplay Award, until the final annual award, the Golden Dragon Award.

"Hit, Hit a Big Watermelon"

It also appeared on it.

An animated short, nominated for five prestigious awards.

Really surprising.

Even if "Fight, Make a Big Watermelon" didn't win any awards three days later, with the qualifications of the five nominations, Li Yi and the other four major domestic animation companies or game companies can pick it up.

But Fan Chaoran was the most shocked in the audience.

You agreed to study together, but you secretly participated in the competition?

What is even more shocking is the ages of the four of them. Others don't know, but Fan Chaoran knows that Li Yi and the four are just freshmen. In other words, five months ago, all five of them were just high school students facing the college entrance examination. born.

five months.

The four of them were admitted to the top three top universities in the country and became the favored students in the eyes of countless people.

At the same time, when other freshmen were still working hard to learn and lay a solid foundation, the four of them had surpassed countless students and animation practitioners and won five nominations for five awards at the China International Animation Festival.

As far as their ages are concerned, the four characters of fledgling are not suitable for these four people.

It is more appropriate to use the hairy boy.

But it was just these four brats who won five nominations.

Three days later, as long as the four of them won any of the five awards, it meant that the four of them had surpassed [-]% of the professional animation professionals present in terms of qualifications.

Fan Chaoran was a little numb.

Even when Li Yi and the others waved goodbye to him, he just waved his hand mechanically.It wasn't until he returned to his rented apartment that the cold water in the shower was suddenly poured on him, and he suddenly came back to his senses with a jolt.

Countless complex emotions surged up at the same time. Facing such four juniors, he didn't know what emotion to use to face them, admiration?have!Relieved?have!envy?also have
Between dreams and bread, he chose the latter. He does not regret this choice, but occasionally in the dead of night, he always wonders what would happen if he chose to stay in the animation industry?
It's a pity that no matter how he imagined it, this is already a false proposition.

But the four junior students who are just freshmen have reached the heights they need to look up to on the road to their dreams.

All of a sudden, those bottles and jars deep in his heart were kicked over, and they were all mixed together, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, with mixed flavors.
