My ex-wife is a big star

Chapter 262 Craftsman Spirit
Jiang Shu had already heard all the tracks in this album.

Generally speaking, it is still one of the best albums in the current Chinese music scene, taking into account the popularity of singing and a certain degree of musicality.

Gu Yaoqing is not a singer-songwriter, she is completely at a disadvantage in terms of creation.

But sometimes there are more choices, and she can let go to find suitable works.

Creation can be handed over to professionals, and a team can work together.

The advantage of singer-songwriters is that they know better what kind of work they want, and they tailor it for themselves.

Their only problem is that over the years, personal creative inspiration will inevitably have ups and downs.

Gu Ruoqing doesn't have to worry about these.

The composition of her album will not rely on only one person, and there are many musicians who can write songs in the circle.

A musician has fallen into a creative slump, but it is impossible for everyone to be like this.

The only problem is that these songs cost money to buy, and Gu Yao’s requirements are relatively high, so the price is naturally not cheap, resulting in a relatively high cost of the album.

Even if other singers want to play like this, the company behind them will not agree. The possibility of losing money is too high for an album with such a high cost.

Especially in the current Chinese music market, the market is a bit deformed.

The pop songs that the public likes to listen to are not necessarily of high quality. The most obvious example is the Shenqu.

And many high-quality songs may not be popular.

But in Gu Yaoqing's case, the situation is slightly different.

Ordinary singers come up with a work with an 8-point quality, and it may go nowhere, and they will not be able to play the song's due value, which is thankless.

But if Gu Yaoqing produces a song with 8 points, it will be able to exert its value and become popular.

Because compared with ordinary singers, her own traffic is very different.

Jiang Shu also posted a Weibo: [Rumor has released an album, so there are still people who don't know about it, right? 】

At this time, I must give my wife a call to promote it.

"So you also know that you have a wife named Ruoqing [狗头]"

"Buy, buy, buy! You can't buy it with 20 yuan, you can't buy it, you can't be fooled!"

"Turned through Weibo, and it's been two years since Brother Jiang mentioned the name Ruoqing on his Weibo for the first time!"

"Hahaha! This is too outrageous!"

"..."

At the moment, on the Internet, hot topics on major social platforms are discussing Gu Yaoqing's new album.

The release of an album by a famous singer like her must be a hot topic on the Internet.

But one album cannot satisfy everyone.

However, no matter how dissatisfied some listeners are, at least Gu Yaoqing will not be ridiculed, since she did not write the song anyway.

For some singer-songwriters, when they release an album, some listeners will say that they have exhausted their talents.

Sometimes it is true that the quality of a certain album has declined, but more often, listeners are based on their own preferences.

If you like it, it's a good album. If you don't like it, just leave a sentence without any pain.

The first day of the album release.

Gu Yaoqing is still at home leisurely.

In the era of releasing physical records in the past, it was necessary to run promotions in many cities across the country and hold signing parties everywhere.

At that time, it was still very hard. Not to mention running a few games a day, the autographs were numb.

But in the Internet age, almost everything is done online, from album promotion to sales.

Singers are much more relaxed.

"Husband, I'm going to contact the concert team tomorrow."

Jiang Shu was working in front of the computer when he heard Gu Yaoqing's lazy voice behind him.

At this time, Gu Yaoqing was only wearing underwear all over her body, and she hadn't gone out for two days in a row. The weather in August didn't bother to put on clothes.

At the end of the day, she just dangled in front of Jiang Shu like this.

Jiang Shu didn't feel anything either, he was visually immune.

Unless you get started, looking at her is no different from looking at an object.

"It's time to go out for a walk." Jiang Shu said with a soft smile, "I've been at home all this time, and I guess it's going to kill you!"

Gu Yaoqing lay on Jiang Shu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Except for sometimes you force me to drink milk, which makes me feel out of breath and suffocated, other times I'm fine!"

"..." Jiang Shu was speechless for a moment.

"I'm leaving tomorrow." Gu Yaoqing said with a soft smile: "Call Su Shu Shiran over to have a meal together tonight! To be honest, I really like eating the meals made by the two of them."

"No problem." Jiang Shu definitely had no objection.

"Uh..." Gu Yaoqing suddenly thought of something and hesitated for a while: "If the two of them come, it seems that it will be inconvenient for us..."

"It's simple!" Jiang Shu said with a smile: "Let them cook, and let them go back after the meal is done."

"...You don't want your face anymore, do you?"

"When you get along with a good friend who has a real relationship with you, you can really be "shameless"."

"Ha ha……"

That being said.

In the evening, Gu Yaoqing still called Su Shu Shiran to have a meal and chat together.

Because in the afternoon, Jiang Shu had already been squeezed twice, and the milk for the evening was paid in advance.

the next day.

Early in the morning, after kissing goodbye, Gu Yaoqing left home.

Jiang Shu returned to his room to continue working. He sorted out a few sketchbooks and prepared to hand them over to the director of the Spring Festival Gala.

If you can go up, go, if you don't let it up, forget it.

As for castrating the script for passing the trial, he will not do it.

Jiang Shu also didn't "make trouble" on purpose, otherwise, if he chose a few large-scale scripts from 2000 years ago, it would be 100% impossible to pass now.

He just found a few skits from the Spring Festival Gala in his previous life, some were purely funny, and some were both funny and intentional.

In addition to the previously finalized "Say Things" and "Help or Not".

Jiang Shu has now tentatively decided on a few others.

"Planning" by Zhao Benshan and Song Dandan, speaking of this skit, in fact, the stalk of "rooster that lays eggs" is more famous.

This skit is designed to satirize the entertainment industry.

"The rooster that lays eggs" and "It's not its thing it has to do", these are the strange appearances that satirize the entertainment industry's random crossover.

It's fine if you can do well across borders, but the problem is that no matter whether you can do well or not, you have to get involved.

It's embarrassing for a singer to act in a skit, and it's embarrassing for a host to become a director and make a money-making work... There are countless such examples.

Of course, it's not just the stars who are ironic, but also the behind-the-scenes workers.

Especially in the screenwriting industry, 99% of domestic screenwriters have no right to speak, and scripts are basically kidnapped by investors, producers, actors and others.

In addition, the "paparazzi" did not run away, and were also ridiculed and ridiculed.

The fourth is "Not Returning" by Shen Teng, Ma Li and others.

The first 90% of this skit is good, but the ending forced Lao Lai to wake up and dragged the skit back.

An unrepentant old Lai was finally persuaded by the debtor and his wife, and he immediately came to his senses and paid back the money.

This turn is too blunt.

In reality, this kind of old Lai who borrows money and does not repay it has long since stopped caring what others say, so how could he repay the money so easily.

So Jiang Shu revised the ending.

In the sketch, in order not to pay back the money, Lao Lai deliberately divorced his wife and left the house without leaving the house, and put the money and the house in his wife's name.

In this way, even the law can't cure him, and he has no money in his name, but he still has money that he can't spend with his wife.

In reality, it is not uncommon for this kind of real divorce in law and fake divorce in reality.

Jiang Shu changed the ending to the following. He wanted to fake a divorce with his wife, but she really divorced him, and his money and house went to his wife.

Lao Lai didn't suddenly wake up, but in the end he lost his personal wealth.

In fact, having said that, the greatest significance of this skit may not lie in how good the quality is.

Instead, shoot this theme and show it to everyone on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

Most ordinary people must have never experienced the situation of helping the elderly to be touched.

But it is difficult to get back the money lent out, and many ordinary people must feel the same way.

This skit is also their voice.

For the last sketch, Jiang Shu tentatively decided on "Not Bad Money".

There's nothing to say about this one, it's a purely entertaining skit, it's neither sensational nor valuable to the audience, and its own level is also online.

Just talking about the burden of jokes, this skit will definitely be able to be shot.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, Jiang Shu gave the scripts of these five sketches to Du Zhengtao, chief director of the Spring Festival Gala.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the other party called.

The efficiency of this reply, Jiang Shu thinks, is already considered fast, anyway, it is enough to reply within a day.

After all, Du Zhengtao's artists have the final say on these programs, and he must discuss them with relevant personnel.

Among these sketches.

Du Zhengtao's biggest complaint was indeed the ending of "Not Returning".

The other four sketches are either purely for fun, or have a certain satirical and educational significance.

Only this skit, the "bad guy" is still bad at the end.

"Director Jiang, I think it would be better for Lao Lai to reform himself under the advice of his wife?" Du Zhengtao tentatively asked.

Jiang Shu was a little helpless: "Director Du, Lao Lai can't change his past so easily."

"But this ending...you can get divorced without paying back the money. It's really not good to convey this kind of value to the audience!"

"If Lao Lai can be influenced by a few words, it will convey to the audience a kind of value that "Lao Lai can be influenced"..."

Jiang Shu argued: "This is not good! How can Lao Lai be so easily influenced? Aren't we fooling the audience with our eyes open?"

"..." Du Zhengtao couldn't refute for a while.

Jiang Shu continued: "This ending is not to tell Lao Lai that he can not pay back the money if he fakes a divorce, but to warn Lao Lai that if he dares to fake a divorce to avoid debts, he may end up losing money and money, losing his wife and losing his army."

Du Zhengtao couldn't help scratching his head. Jiang Shu's statement had some truth, but he always felt that something was not quite right.

"Actually, the meaning above is...you really don't want to be educated about value and sensationalism in these sketches, so forget it. You have been given a very relaxed creative environment, but if the sketches have a value orientation, they must have positive energy."

"In the end, Lao Lai lost both money and life, and he deserved what he deserved. This ending is very positive!"

"But I think...it's safest for Lao Lai to wake up, and this ending will definitely be passed." Du Zhengtao was also a little embarrassed: "The current ending is really a bit hanging!"

"Director Du doesn't need to be in trouble." Jiang Shu smiled indifferently: "If it really doesn't work, I won't go. It's not a serious matter."

"Then let me try to talk to you again!" Du Zhengtao said, "If it really doesn't work, let's change the ending."

"Director Du, let me tell you straight!" Jiang Shu said, "I can give up the opportunity of the Spring Festival Gala, but I don't want to castrate the script. I don't like such a blunt ending, and the audience doesn't like it even more."

When Du Zhengtao heard this, he felt a little helpless in the middle: "Then I... go and have a chat."

"Thank you, Director Du." Jiang Shu smiled politely.

After hanging up the phone.

……

Two days later.

October 8th.

Jiang Shu has not received Du Zhengtao's reply yet.

However, he received the review notice of "Spirited Away". The review of this animated film is actually a process.

The first thing Jiang Shu did was to submit an application to the nearest Berlin International Film Festival.

Although there is also a Shanghai International Film Festival in China, the influence of this film festival in Asia is limited, let alone the world.

If you choose this film festival, the only advantage is probably that the probability of winning an award is very high.

It's just that Jiang Shu really didn't care much about it.

If a filmmaker wants to go to the world and become famous around the world, he still has to go to the three majors and the Oscars.

Subsequently.

Jiang Shu posted a Weibo: [I tell everyone a good news, "Spirited Away" has already won the dragon mark.

In addition, this movie is hand-painted, with a total of 10,000+ manuscripts, I hope everyone will like it. 】

In this Weibo, Jiang Shu also included nine pictures.

These images are hand-painted watercolors from Spirited Away,
There are characters and architectural settings, all of which are outlined by the painter stroke by stroke.

Of course, there is still a certain difference between these manuscript paintings and the content of the finished film.

But it is indeed very delicate and beautiful, and it is not an exaggeration to say that each painting is a work of art.

In terms of perception, compared with computer production, hand-painted animation is indeed more artistic. It is an art that has been accumulated for thousands of years.

Every stroke of painting has its unique charm, visual impact and visual beauty, which are different from computer animation.

"10,000+ manuscripts? Damn it!"

"Nimma! With such a workload, I really don't want to miss a single frame."

"Big killer! I'm looking forward to it!"

"It's so old, but I still do manuscript animation...but I like it!!"

"The cg modeling animation is really tired of watching, and it's not bad to see hand-painted!"

"What is craftsman spirit! [狗头]"

"..."

This news not only surprised netizens.

Countless colleagues in the industry were also quite surprised. In today's animation industry, the hand-painted mode is almost on the verge of being eliminated.

Fewer and fewer people use it, and computers have basically replaced manual work.

The reason is that hand-drawn animation is generally at a disadvantage in terms of cost and efficiency.

The most important thing for everyone to do animation is for profit, and they must choose a model that is more conducive to making money.

But Jiang Shu still chooses to draw hand-painted... His colleagues were surprised, but somewhat admired.

It is really not an exaggeration to say that the spirit of craftsmanship.
