The Creator of the Second Dimension

"of course can."

Xu Rui originally thought that Zhou Hongyu would interview Wu Yi as soon as possible, but he soon discovered that the director of Wu Yi who had already won the fourth annual animation in his life at a young age was surrounded by reporters long ago. Zhou Hongyu I am afraid it is difficult to conduct an interview with myself as a reporter of Ningjiang TV station like last year, so I came to Xu Rui.

　　 The two came to the corner of the banquet hall near the bar. There are many elegant seats here, which seem to be for private talks with guests.

　　 found two opposite positions and sat down, Zhou Hongyu took out the recorder, and then asked.

　　 "Director Xu Rui, we all know that this time "Soul Eater: Zero" also nominated the annual animation, but missed it. What do you think of this result, do you feel unwilling or regret it?"

　　 Her first question was a bit sharp, Xu Rui smiled and answered.

"It is impossible to say that there is no regret at all. After all, this is the highest award in the China Animation industry, but for a rookie animator, being shortlisted is already a commendation. You can only say "Steel Sorcerer" by the director of Wu Yi "It is indeed impeccable. He deserves this award."

Hearing Xu Rui’s answer, Zhou Hongyu nodded slightly. Through this question, she roughly determined the direction of the next question. If Xu Rui himself is a madman, then Zhou Hongyu will start asking questions against Xu Rui himself, trying to Dig out some hot spots, but if Xu Rui is relatively calm, as he said, then Zhou Hongyu will start with the work.

　　 The two talked about Xu Rui's creative experience, the creation anecdote of "Soul Eater: Zero" and other popular content.

　　 Xu Rui and Zhou Hongyu talked and laughed happily. His natural and steady attitude impressed Zhou Hongyu.

　　 Originally, Zhou Hongyu believed that, as a new director who has had such a big move in the animation industry just a year after graduation, Xu Rui should either be uninhibited and arrogant like a martial arts director, or he should be as timid as a general newcomer in the workplace.

But I didn’t expect Xu Rui to be like a veteran in the industry for many years, and it didn’t take much effort to communicate with him. Xu Rui understood the key points of the reporter’s question and gave satisfactory answers. Zhou Hongyu even had a kind of self-confidence. Xu Rui has long rehearsed the feeling of the interview.

"Speaking of this, I also watched the recent "Unnatural Death" by Phantom Animation. The plot is very moving. This animation also touches on the special profession of forensic medicine that has not been mentioned in the animation industry in the past. I don’t know if you created it. What is the idea of ​​this animation?"

　　 Zhou Hongyu flipped through his interview notes and asked.

"Well, first of all, this is an animation about the work of forensic doctors, so it is natural to start with the daily cases encountered by forensic doctors. Secondly, rather than suspense stories, I want the audience to feel the emotions that forensic doctors usually feel. In the face of life and death, people always have to think a little bit, so I feel that exploring the story behind death is more valuable than discussing death itself."

　　 Xu Rui paused, took a sip of hot coffee, and then replied.

"Compared with the pain and hatred caused by death, I want the audience to feel the warmth contained in it. Just as at the end of "Soul Eater: Zero", Huangfuxun's feelings for Li Leshen are not hatred and jealousy. is love."

　　 "From this point of view, the endings of your current three works directed by Xu Rui seem to be moving. Is this your creative philosophy?"

　　 Zhou Hongyu asked.

"Yes, I have always wanted to make heartwarming animations. Some people want others to laugh when they see their work, some want the audience to think, and some try to make people excited. My idea is very simple. I hope to see it. The audience of my works can feel warmth, love and hope."

　　 Xu Rui smiled and continued.

　　 "To be honest, I think the title of Warrior of Love is more suitable for me than any animation master or new star director."

　　 "Warrior of love?"

　　 Zhou Hongyu was a little confused and tilted his head.

　　......

It was ten o'clock when the dinner was over. Xu Rui drove Guo Weiren and Su Liyu home first, and then went to the place where Yi Qianqian had a tea party with his friends. After waiting for a while, he drove Yiqian back to Ning. At home in Jiangxin District.

　　 Attending the dinner, Xu Rui was very tired after dealing with the reporters. He was very fortunate that he chose to fill his stomach first.

　　 After washing, the two rested separately, and there is one day left for the exhibition tomorrow. Xu Rui decided to go to the booths of major video websites to see the situation.

　　 In the middle of the night, news about the annual animation awards ceremony written by returning reporters soon appeared in major media. Among them, the articles published on Weibo of Ningjiang TV Station are unique.

　　 Compared with many similar news interviews with director Wu Yi, this Weibo published a special interview about Xu Rui.

　　 The title is "From the stars and the sea to the delicate everyday life, Xu Rui: I want to make a heart-warming animation."

　　 This article is basically obtained after some sorting out of the interviews between Zhou Hongyu and Xu Rui. With some background introduction, there is no artistic processing in the whole article, and it is a very simple question and answer.

　　 Among them, Xu Rui's paragraphs about his creative ideas aroused discussion among netizens.

　　 A2 forum ~www.readwn.com~ reprinted this article under the post that soon received dozens of replies.

　　 [yaoniming300]: The warm-hearted animations are okay. These animations are clearly cold and cruel.

[Firepower Superman]: I think he was right. From "Voice of the Stars" to "Unnatural Death", although the process was a bit abused, it was still touching in the end, and this touching is not simply relying on the dead to torture The audience is moved by family affection and love, which are easily resonant elements. After watching these works, they will not feel desperate sadness, but a touch of warmth. It is indeed a work that warms people's hearts and heals the soul.

[It’s still cold at first glance]: Having said so much, is "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" also a healing work? Although this theme is also the same, I don't want to see the silly white sweet daily life of a few little girls. The more exciting plot suits me.

　　 [Morning Light Breaks Dawn]: No, you saw that Holofer, who designed the "Unknown Nightmare" series, was on the production crew list and thought this animation would be naive and cute? I'm afraid Xu Rui is going to shoot a magical girl with heavy taste.

[Squirrel Eating Jelly]: Well, the recent animations are all about fighting and killing. I just want to watch some warm works. Now I’m waiting for October’s "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" to heal my wounded soul. Do you know which website this animation is broadcasted on?

Xu Rui did not see these comments because he has received several calls from different video sites. Although the tone and wording are different, they basically have the same meaning, that is, "Magic Girl Madoka "The price of the broadcast rights is too high. If the phantom does not lower the price, it may consider not purchasing or delaying the purchase of this animation.

　　 Xu Rui knew that this was just the vague thunder before the storm.
