This Star is Legal But Sick

Chapter 369 gives you a little bit of "Tom and Jerry" shock

　In fact, everyone hasn’t seen Xu Ye for a while. Xu Ye is still a little unfamiliar after not seeing him for a long time.

Especially last night, Xu Ye's wonderful performance on the stage of "Flash Girl" changed everyone's impression of him.

 The studio employees’ favorite songs are not the songs by Vitality Girl. Their favorite song is “Feeling Like a Superstar” sung by Xu Ye.

　 Today when everyone was working, this song was playing in the headphones.

This song sounds warm and can bring some strength to people.

 Everyone can feel like a superstar, and everyone can not be a superstar, and be anything they want.

As everyone listened to the song, they had a fan filter in their minds about Xu Ye, whom they had not seen for a long time.

The filter broke when I saw it today, and Mr. Xu is still in a crazy state.

I just feel sorry for the blue cat.

Xu Ye put the small note with "2B" written on it into his phone case, raised his head and asked, "Where is Mr. Gao?"

 “Mr. Gao is in the office.” an employee said hurriedly.

 “You guys get busy, I’ll go find Mr. Gao.” Xu Ye said.

 At this time, Gao Leyong was sitting in front of the computer, exhausted.

 On the computer, what is displayed are some production drafts of "Tom and Jerry".

He has revised this version of the manuscript seven times with his subordinates, and he is still somewhat dissatisfied.

I have to say that making the animation "Tom and Jerry" was a huge challenge for him.

It’s true that he used to make children’s animations, but his children’s animations all contained some philosophy.

 All in all, the plot is quite logical and not nonsensical.

 Perhaps the "Tom and Jerry" script Xu Ye gave him was different.

 It can even be said that this script is almost the same as no script.

 In the absence of lines, there is basically only a plot introduction, and the rest is all made up by the brain.

The key is that there are many things that he can’t figure out in his head.

Gao Leyong feels that his recent mental state has become abnormal.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. After Gao Leyong shouted, he saw Xu Ye pushing the door open and coming in.

After seeing Xu Ye, Gao Leyong stood up hurriedly.

 Xu Ye said: "Bring me a bottle of sweet mixture of carbon dioxide and dihydrogen monoxide."

Gao Leyong said angrily: "If you want to drink soda, just say so!"

 After saying that, he went to the cabinet to get a bottle of Coke for Xu Ye. As soon as he got the Coke in his hand, Gao Leyong realized a problem.

“It’s over, I understood Xu Ye’s words instantly!”

Gao Leyong sighed inwardly, his mental state was not getting better.

After handing the Coke to Xu Ye, Gao Le chanted: "Let's not waste any time. Come over quickly and take a look. I don't quite understand what you are saying."

Gao Leyong came to the computer, and Xu Ye also walked over.

Gao Leyong pointed at the computer screen and said, "Look what you said here. After Tom climbed into the bird's nest, both Jerry and the little yellow bird were startled. The little yellow bird dropped a 200kg iron weight on Tom's nest. arms, and then Tom fell to the ground."

Gao Leyong continued: "I can understand the logic here, but we have done several versions of this animation process, and we all feel that something is missing."

The logic mentioned by Gao Leyong is that the little yellow bird can lift a 200 kilogram iron block, why can't Tom lift it?

 Remember one thing, please don’t use logic in comedy comics.

Xu Ye said: "Open it and take a look."

Gao Leyong quickly clicked on a file.

This file is an animation clip that does not yet have a soundtrack.

 In the picture, it is Tom Cat and Jerry Mouse that Xu Ye is familiar with.

 Besides the cat and the mouse, there is also a little yellow bird.

  The little yellow bird is also a character who often appears in "Tom and Jerry". In fact, this little yellow bird also has a name, called Canery or Cuckoo. The former is translated into Chinese as canary, and the latter is cuckoo.

But, the name is not important.

　　After the little yellow bird threw the iron block to Tom, Tom caught it with both hands and then dropped it.

In the picture, Tom was hit by the iron block first, then subconsciously held up the iron block with both hands, and then the whole cat fell downwards.

 There is nothing wrong with the whole process logically, but it just feels like something is missing.

Xu Ye didn't say anything, but asked Gao Leyong to show him all the other versions.

 After reading the remaining versions, Xu Ye had a clear idea.

“Actually, it’s normal that you feel something is wrong. Our animated world is inherently abnormal. Do you always think about what it’s like in reality when you do it?” Xu Ye asked.

Gao Leyong nodded and said, "This is also a way to enhance the sense of immersion."

Xu Ye said: "In fact, it doesn't have to be consistent with reality, but it has to be consistent with the audience's expectations and their subconscious, so you may need to put your brain aside first."

"For example, in this section, after Tom hugs the iron block, he can pause in the air for about half a second, and then his lower body falls first, with his head still in the original position. In this way, the body will be stretched like rubber. If you add more If there is a soundtrack, this section will look much more comfortable.”

Gao Leyong's eyes gradually brightened as she listened to Xu Ye's story.

As a senior animator, he can already outline a rough picture in his mind just by relying on Xu Ye's narration.

This image is very interesting just to think about it.

His original idea did not include these processes.

 Without the process, it will naturally look and feel wrong.

“What kind of brain does Xu Ye have? By the way, he has no brain.” Gao Leyong sighed in his heart.

How unusual it is to be able to come up with so many fancy pictures.

"and this…"

 Gao Leyong continued to ask.

Xu Ye also patiently explained it to Gao Leyong.

Gao Leyong's level is no problem, but his brain hasn't turned around yet.

  The creative logic of funny animations is different from the animations he created before.

 After Xu Ye finished speaking, Gao Leyong returned to his high-spirited state.

 He felt as if he had opened up the Ren and Du channels, and many of the problems that had puzzled him before were easily solved.

 When making "Tom and Jerry", the first thing that needs to be considered is definitely not logic, but fun!

 As long as everyone is happy to watch it, it is enough.

This is a funny comic, who cares about logic.

 For a time, Gao Leyong felt that he was bursting with inspiration, and many ideas had popped up in his mind.

 It’s just that there are some differences between this brain now and the previous one.

“I’m going to get the soundtrack first, you continue.” Xu Ye said.

 Lately, he has had quite a lot on his plate.

 The netizens are right. The reason why he didn’t direct "Hurry" was really because he couldn’t roll anymore.

 The soundtrack for "Tom and Jerry" is a big project, and Xu Ye plans to invite the China Xisheng Symphony Orchestra to help perform it.

 He was not worried that the Symphony Orchestra would refuse.

As for the scores used in "Tom and Jerry", Wang Liming, the leader of the Xisheng Ensemble, can naturally appreciate the level.

Soon, Wang Liming received a call from Xu Ye. His first reaction when he learned that Xu Ye wanted to invite him to score children's animation was.

Are you kidding me?

China Xisheng Symphony Orchestra, the top symphony orchestra in China!

 You want me to score a children’s animation?

I have never done this before, so I don’t know how to set a price!

Wang Liming would not reject Xu Ye directly, mainly because there is no precedent in the industry.

 Since "The Most Dazzling National Style", Wang Liming feels that he has found a new way for the symphony orchestra to develop in this new era.

 That’s down to earth!

 Must be grounded!

 Happiness with the people.

 Otherwise, not many people would listen to the symphony.

Wang Liming sees things very clearly. All skills are meaningless. It is only real that everyone in the group can live a good life by relying on their own skills.

As long as you don’t do anything illegal or disciplinary, no one will mind making too much money.

 The more people listen, the more money everyone will make.

 So, the Xisheng Symphony Orchestra later registered a Douishou account, and would post some videos on it from time to time, but it was always tepid.

“Don’t worry about the price, I’ll send you a piece of music first.” Xu Ye said with a smile.

 He directly sent a document to Wang Liming.

Wang Liming immediately clicked on it and took a look.

The score Xu Ye sent to Wang Liming is the opening theme of "Tom and Jerry".

 The Chinese name of this piece is "Tom and Jerry".

 It needs to be said that in the classic version of "Tom and Jerry", the first thirty seconds of the opening song of each episode are different.

 This is a small detail that Bradley, the soundtrack composer of "Tom and Jerry", put in the animation.

 He will make some adjustments to the prelude based on factors such as the atmosphere and emotion of each episode. Some of them can be heard, while others are not easy to hear.

 This person is a pure detail-oriented person.

Even if he quotes some famous classical music, he will adjust it according to the actual situation in the animation instead of directly copying it.

After Wang Liming saw this piece of music, he began to hum casually in his mouth.

 Not long after, he sent a message to Xu Ye.

“You are playing classical music? What kind of animation are you doing and do you still need to use this kind of music?”

Wang Liming said, I have never seen this kind of animation.

　　It’s a bit outrageous for you to add this kind of music to the animation.

You didn’t make a special animation just to release these songs, did you?

 Xu Ye replied directly.

 “Just say whether you will come or not.”

Wang Liming is quite confused.

 He has already read the music, and he really wants to try this style of music. The only problem is how to explain it to his people.

I got a job for you to play classical music for a cartoon.

“Ignore it, just tell them that Xu Ye did it. Then it’s reasonable that Xu Ye did it.”

Wang Liming replied to Xu Ye: "Okay."

“Okay, then I’ll ask our studio staff to contact you and set a time.”

 After Wang Liming and Xu Ye agreed on a time, they stared at the mobile phone screen and began to think deeply.

 He thought of the saucy words he saw when he patted Xu Ye last time.

 He was a little curious now and wanted to know what he would see after taking a photo of Xu Ye.

I want to see it, but I'm worried that it will make me sick.

 After waiting for ten seconds, he still couldn't hold it back.

 He stretched out his hand and clicked twice on Xu Ye's profile picture.

 Then a line of prompts pops up.

“You patted Xu Ye’s **** and said it looks really perky.”

Wang Liming's brows suddenly furrowed into the character "Sichuan".

 He pursed his lips tightly and did not speak for a long time.

 After a while, he let out a long sigh and reached out his hand to pat his face a few times.

 “What on earth was I expecting?”

On the other side, after communicating with Wang Liming, Xu Ye got into work non-stop.

 He needs to produce an episode of "Tom and Jerry" first to see how the market responds.

Xu Ye knew that this animation would be a hit, but the employees at Dream Building Studio were not sure.

 Workers are in great need of positive feedback, especially creative work.

 With enough positive feedback, everyone’s working conditions will be better.

 Other than that, there’s National Treasure and Rush to deal with.

Gao Leyong also moved very quickly.

 The length of "Tom and Jerry" is much shorter than that of "The Legend of Nezha". The length of an episode is only about five minutes if you exclude the opening and ending credits.

 Time flies by.

Finally, the first episode of "Tom and Jerry" has been produced.

 If you count all the time, this episode took a full month to produce.

After all, it’s just the beginning, and everyone’s technology and thinking patterns are still being adjusted, but a lot of materials have been accumulated, and the progress will only get faster and faster in the future.

As for the publishing platform for this first episode, Xu Ye did not choose Penguin Video, but Xiaolan.com.

Xu Ye feels that the type of animation "Tom and Jerry" is more consistent with the style of Xiaolan Station.

　　Previously, "Wulin Gaiden" chose to publish the behind-the-scenes footage on Xiaolan Station, but Xu Ye arranged to test the water at Xiaolan Station in advance.

So far, the effect is pretty good.

Penguin Video doesn’t have any objections to this. On the one hand, Penguin itself owns shares in the small bad website, and it can be regarded as its own family.

 On the other hand, it’s because Xu Ye is too short.

 You just made an episode of animation and it’s about to be released. It’s not appropriate to publish it on Penguin Video.

 How can I promote it to you?

 You can’t just buy an episode and give it a banner promotion.

 The audience will curse.

An episode of animation is really embarrassing.

 Only Xu Ye can do such a thing.

　　After finishing one episode, I will send it out.

 At 12 noon, the account of "Wulin Gaiden" on Xiaolan Station was updated with a new episode.

 The length of these videos is basically about fifteen minutes.

Not long after the video was released, netizens began to post it on the barrage.

“Now that the video has been updated, it’s time for me to eat.”

 “Take your phone and go to the cafeteria to eat right away!”

 “Highlights updates are as steady as an old dog!”

 This has become a daily joke among netizens.

Who would have thought that the behind-the-scenes of "Wulin Gaiden" directed by Xu Ye would be better than the feature films of some dramas.

 When everyone saw the end of the video, they found that the progress bar was not simple.

At the end of the video, the screen suddenly changed.

 There is a cat and a mouse in the picture.

 The blue cat and the brown-skinned mouse are both anthropomorphic.

As the picture appeared, the music also sounded, which was the classic opening song of "Tom and Jerry".

 “Ah? What is this?”

 “Wrong editing? Or did I mess up?”

 “This cat and mouse are quite cute.”

 Netizens started chatting in the barrage.

 After a while, the music gradually died down.

　　A poster with a red background appeared on the screen.

 The style of the poster is very festive.

It says "The first episode of "Tom and Jerry" will be online at 8 o'clock tomorrow night on the Little Bad Station, so stay tuned! Children are welcome to watch it!"

 In addition to this sentence, this is the basic information of "Tom and Jerry".

 The product is naturally produced by a large studio, and the producer is Dream Studio.

 The name of Xu Ye is written in the screenwriter section.

 “Is the dean doing animation again?”

“What kind of animation is this? Can Tom and Jerry be animated?”

 “This was not notified in advance.”

Netizens were really confused this time.

too suddenly.

Everyone thought that Xu Ye would stop doing animation after "The Legend of Nezha" ended, but unexpectedly he was still doing it.

 A big move was made quietly.

“Let’s take a look tomorrow.”

　　"Bringing a child? Who do you look down on? I am a child!"

“Xu Ye’s children’s animations have always been suitable for older babies to watch, including babies aged 360 months.”

 On the Xiaolan website, I briefly promoted it.

 On Weibo, the official Weibo accounts of This Big Studio and Dream Studio also released a launch notice.

 Everyone had the same reaction after seeing the news.

Xu Ye did not conduct large-scale publicity, after all, there was only one episode.

This episode is actually equivalent to a trailer. You can't give a trailer a warm-up.

As for choosing to go online at 8 o'clock tomorrow night, it is because Jade Bird Entertainment has a new drama that will premiere at 8 o'clock tomorrow night.

 Before "Xian Yun Zhuan" was aired, Xu Ye directly let "Wulin Gaiden" take the lead.

 This time is no exception.

 Although "Tom and Jerry" is short, it is enough to give Mr. Song of Jade Bird Entertainment a small shock.

Song Zhengqi was full of questions after hearing the news. As a result, he asked someone to find out the news, but couldn't find out anything.

 They now know nothing about "Tom and Jerry" except the name and the protagonist.

This made Song Zhengqi feel a little panicked.

“Xu Ye doesn’t really want to use a cartoon to compete with online dramas, right? No way?”

 In the entertainment industry, many people have already talked about this matter.

But there is another circle of people who pay attention to the music at the beginning of "Tom and Jerry".

This circle is a circle of pure music.

They have never heard of this piece of music.

In other words, this is a piece of new classical music.

“This piece of music hasn’t been played yet. Let’s watch the animation tomorrow and see if we can hear the full version.”

 In some chat groups, everyone also communicated with each other.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was eight o'clock in the evening of the next day.

 Some netizens have been waiting in front of their computers for a long time. They have already entered the words "cat and mouse" into the search box of Xiaolan.com, and are waiting for the time to search.

 At eight o'clock, everyone clicked on the search.

After the search results were displayed, everyone was confused.

  On the Xiaolan site, if it is a fan drama, the display will be different from the video submitted by the UP owner himself.

Everyone thought it was a fan drama, but unexpectedly what they found was a submission.

 The publisher is "Dream Building Studio".

There is only one episode, and the length is pitifully short.

 Fortunately, it’s free and you can watch it without signing up for a membership.

 “I’ll forgive you because you’re free.” This is what everyone is thinking.

    In the end, I couldn’t hold on, I had a bit of a cold and my head was dizzy.
