The Strongest Animator [Rebirth]

When Shepherd Star stepped into the airport lobby, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

Unlike the excessive noise during the Eleanor Awards Ceremony, the current airport can almost be described as quiet.

This is not to say that there are no people at the airport at this moment.In fact, on the contrary, during this prime time, Huaijiang Airport still continued to have a consistently high flow of people.The difference is that there are neither star-chasing girls looking forward to nor short cannons. People come and go in a hurry, and they are stingy about paying special attention to others.

This made the shepherd star feel a little bit of enjoyment after a long absence.

Although he doesn't mind the nonsense of outside reporters, it is also good to be able to stay away from the spotlight and have such a quiet and short personal time.

only--

"Hey?" Seeing the figure of Shepherd Star appearing at the end of the passage, located in a corner of the airport, the young reporter couldn't help but let out a "Huh", and his eyes lit up immediately.

He poked the senior beside him, "Sister Bai, look over there, the one on the side of the passage, isn't that the Shepherd Star? Why is he here too?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, he remembered the subsidy incident that had been raging on the Internet recently. After changing his initial decadence, he became full of fighting spirit. Momentum: "I heard that none of the reporters who wanted to interview him during this time managed to catch him. Sister Bai, why don't we try?"

It looks like it's not a big deal to watch the excitement.

The capable woman he called "Sister Bai" frowned, glared at him, and reprimanded angrily: "What are you trying? You treat us as paparazzi reporters outside, and if you catch a piece of news, you will be killed." Do you want to be in a hurry? Don't even look at what occasion this is!"

undeniable.

Compared with an all-star feast like the Eleanor Awards, it is almost impossible for the Muse Art Festival to attract a considerable degree of attention among ordinary people. It will not have any special impact, because this matter may be published in newspapers or published on the Internet as news.

This is determined by the nature of the Muse Art Festival.

As a four-year comprehensive cultural event sponsored by the Blue Star Culture Department, the Muse Art Festival is undoubtedly a real art festival, and all those who can attend this festival are genuine artists.Although these old artists have no real power, even the Ministry of Culture will treat them with courtesy.

On such an occasion, it is ignorant to put it on some people, no matter what the reason is, to fight against the special guests of the Muse Art Festival.

As the official newspaper of Blue Star, the evaluation of "ignorance" is much more serious than any other factor.

"Okay, don't think about what's there and what's not." Noticing the slightly disconvinced expression on the young man's face, she shook her head in her heart, and on her face she warned lightly: "Every place has every According to the rules of this place, if you want to interview the work of the Shepherd Star for the Muse Art Festival, then I will definitely not stop you. As for the others, you'd better keep your mouth shut and don't do it. What not to do."

Of course, Shepherd Xing did not miss the interaction between the two reporter-like men and women in the corner.

To his slight surprise, the reporter who he thought might come over to make things difficult for him at any time, in the end just watched him leave with some displeasure.

Anyway, it's a good thing that the other party didn't come to disturb him.

The other party had no intention of making things difficult, and Mu Su Xing quickly forgot about this little episode. As soon as he got out of the airport hall, he skillfully stopped the taxi on the side of the road and went straight to the organizer. Hotels prepared by all candidates for this art festival.

When he arrived at the designated hotel, the other seniors who had completed "The Old Man and the Sea" with him had already taken their seats.

Just as Mu Su Xing walked into the hotel, a familiar voice sounded in the next second.

"Xiao Mu is here." Tan Qingyi greeted him with a smile. The two were old acquaintances during the Eleanor Animation Award period. With this cooperation in "The Old Man and the Sea", how did Tan Qingyi see him? feel close.It seems that there is a posture of treating him as his own junior.

Xin Zongyi also said: "Speaking of which, you haven't participated in the Muse Art Festival before, have you? Come on, don't stand outside, let's talk inside."

Attitudes are no different than before.

Shepherd Xing immediately knew that these old seniors probably didn't know about the ups and downs on the Internet, otherwise they should have come to ask him about it.Think about it, as the production process of "The Old Man and the Sea" is gradually coming to an end, the entire production team, including Mu Suxing, can be said to be isolated from the world, concentrating all their thoughts and energy on the animation itself It's not surprising that I don't know the public opinion on the Internet.

Only Li Lianggong cast a worried look at him when he walked in with everyone.Mu Suxing didn't think about hiding it from his teacher, but it wasn't the time to talk right now, so he just returned him a comforting smile.

The time before going to bed this night was spent while the seniors introduced the Muse Art Festival to him.

The next day, the site of the Muse Art Festival.

As usual, the duration of this Muse Art Festival is also a full 20 days.During these 20 days, all the works participating in the Muse Art Festival will be publicly performed in the Huaijiang Grand Theater in the order designed by the judges, and finally the art festival will be announced at the closing ceremony on the last day of the art festival of award-winning works.

At seven o'clock in the morning, outside the Huaijiang Grand Theater.

There is still a full hour before the official start of the Muse Art Festival, but outside the theater at this moment, a large number of people have gathered, including invited guests, invited special judges, and , so the official reporter who was able to appear on the scene to interview.

At [-]:[-], cars came one after another from the other side of the street, and finally stopped precisely in front of the theater.As the car door opened, dignified women and gentle men came out from time to time, and walked into the theater under the guidance of the organizer's staff.

"Am I not mistaken? It was Selina who just walked past?" Someone exclaimed in a low voice: "Even the Bird Symphony Orchestra has been invited. This year's Muse Art Festival is really a big deal!"

"Isn't it?" The other person lowered his voice and said, "Who let the Muse Art Festival four years ago be screwed up because of the quality of the works? This time it will be done in a tepid way, Do you want to save the organizer's face?"

For artists, the Muse Art Festival is a stage for them to communicate and progress with their peers who are also artists. For art lovers, the Muse Art Festival is a quadrennial art feast that must not be missed.But for the organizers, this art festival not only means a grand event, but also represents their achievements and face.

The man wanted to ask again, but someone pulled his sleeves and pulled him aside.

At this time, as the crowd dispersed consciously, a black limousine drove up the street and stopped precisely at the entrance of the theater.

As soon as the car door opened, the man who had been waiting at the door took the initiative to greet him: "Minister Shen, you came just in time. The backstage is almost ready, and we can start at any time. Now we are waiting for you to preside over the opening ceremony."

The man called Minister Shen nodded slightly, and as he walked in, he asked, "The order of performances and projects have been determined? What about the finale? Is it Miss Selina's dance drama, or the Bird Symphony Orchestra's music performance? "

The so-called finale work, as the name suggests, is the work displayed at the end of all projects.Needless to say, the importance of the finale work at such a grand ceremony where many talents gather.After watching all the other performances, even if the previous performances are excellent, if the finale is not well selected, it is easy to be criticized.

This was supposed to be a routine question, but the person who was asked showed a slight hesitation on his face, and he said hesitantly: "...it's an animation work called "The Old Man and the Sea", you should I've heard that name too."

Of course Minister Shen has heard of this name.

Gathering half of the big names in the animation industry, he had heard about the art animation as early as when the project was first established, and he was very fond of this work that could make many semi-retired artists come out of the mountain, but...

The youngest animation producer among them has a bad reputation recently.

Not only that……

Thinking that the finale of this art festival was actually an animation work, Minister Shen couldn't help frowning, remembering that the last art festival was ridiculed by the Blue Star cultural circle for more than half a year.

It’s not that he doesn’t believe in the quality of this animation work. The artistry of a project that can make so many old artists’ hearts move must be beyond doubt. Live performances like symphonies.

Can the sensory effect of a performance performed by the artist himself be the same as that of everyone sitting in a theater watching an animation on a big screen?

No matter how good this animation is, can it beat the live performances of other artists?

He murmured to himself, thinking of the subordinates' self-assessment, he felt a little displeased, but the sequence of the events had already been set, and seeing that the opening ceremony was about to begin, he had no reason to make corresponding adjustments to the performance events, so he I can only hope that this animation can be a little more powerful.

If you don't want to go beyond live performances, at least don't let him get scolded again this year, right?

He thought in his heart, but said on the face: "Let's do it like this. Since Director Li chose this animation as the finale, he must have his reasons. Let's just wait and see."

Soon after the simple opening ceremony, the Muse Art Festival officially started.

If at the beginning, Minister Shen was still sitting comfortably in his seat, enjoying the art festival performance with great interest, then as time went by, his heart became more and more cold.

It’s not that the quality of the art festival’s works this year is too poor——

Even if he still has criticisms, he has to admit that Director Li actually did a good job this time.The order of the performances was arranged just right, and each one was more classic and better than the other, which can be seen from the enthusiastic atmosphere of the audience.But because of this, he was even more worried about the coming of "The Old Man and the Sea".

When everyone came to welcome the finale work with anticipation, they unexpectedly discovered that this work is actually an animation work, and what they want to do is to watch the entire animation short film again, just like watching a movie in a movie theater. How would they feel once?

I'm afraid that just this stupid form of performance is enough to scold him half to death.

In fact, Minister Shen is not the only one who is worried about the viewing effect of "The Old Man and the Sea".

After knowing that Mu Suxing went to Huaijiang City to participate in this year's Muse Art Festival, the attention of the staff of Huaying's public relations department also shifted to this project that most of them would not normally pay attention to.

As the pastor said.

With Yunsu's navy leading the rhythm, netizens have preconceived ideas. Even if they want to explain, it is difficult to get them to stand on Huaying's side.And what they need is an opportunity that is enough to attract the attention of everyone in Blue Star, and push the real truth to everyone in a logical manner.

Indeed, according to the past, the Muse Art Festival is not well-known.But this is not because its own standard is not enough, but because the works at the art festival are too high-spirited, and ordinary people may not appreciate them, so they are unknown on the Internet.

However, in the eyes of the employees of the public relations department, such a grand ceremony with a strong style and no shortage of hard power definitely has a marketing foundation that attracts much attention.

Even if "The Old Man and the Sea" only shows up at the Muse Art Festival, as long as the reviews of this work are not bad, they will have enough confidence to fight back in the public opinion war!

Of course, not everyone is nervously waiting for the time of "The Old Man and the Sea".

At the same moment, Yunsu headquarters.

"How about it, have you found out the specific release time of "The Chamber of Secrets of Harry Potter"?" Gareth asked.

He originally thought that this should be a somewhat troublesome question - after all, whether this masterpiece can recover its cost will have a direct impact on Huaying's funding situation. It stands to reason that Shepherd Star should be very good at its schedule. It is right to be careful, but the fact is just the opposite——

"It has been confirmed, it will be February [-]st next year." Yunsu employee said, and he was a little puzzled: "Huaying doesn't seem to deliberately hide the schedule."

This is a little weird.

Is the Shepherd star busy with other projects for a while and didn't notice this, or did he have enough confidence in "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", so even if someone took the initiative to bump into him, he didn't care?

Gareth frowned, and the inexplicable anxiety made him ask one more question: "Where's the Shepherd? Do you know where he is now?"

"It seems to be at the Muse Art Festival in Huaijiang City."

When he said that, Gareth immediately felt relieved.

Art animation is usually irrelevant to commercial animation, and the current crisis facing Huaying is obviously not something that can be solved by an art animation.Even if the Shepherd star does win an award at the Muse Festival, so what?

Did the navy who influenced Yunsu criticize him for being morally corrupt?

Thinking of this, Gareth waved his hands tolerantly, and said indifferently: "It's okay, let him go." Having said that, he paused, with a mocking smile on his lips: "After all, soon , the only way out for him is artistic animation.”

At the same time, Huaijiang Grand Theater.

As the penultimate performance ended, the staff quickly came to the stage and urgently arranged the equipment needed to play "The Old Man and the Sea". Such a strange move immediately made everyone look at each other in dismay. The lights suddenly went out, and when the big screen in front of them suddenly turned on, all the guests realized what had happened.

The finale work this time is actually an animated short film?

In such a grand celebration, abandoning the vivid and wonderful performances of other artists and choosing another cold animated short film as the last Asia, is the organizer of the Muse Art Festival crazy?

Hasn't the last Muse Art Festival been scolded enough?
