Growing up as a male god: After listening to the advice, I became a top-notch guy

In Li Youzhi's memory, in the 1980s and 1990s, a large number of excellent ink animations appeared in China.

Domestic art studios, represented by Laoshangmei, have produced a considerable number of excellent works in the field of ink animation.

Excellent domestic animation works such as "Havoc in Heaven", "Tadpole Looking for Mom", "Mu Flute" and "Tales from the Heavenly Book" are all created using ink or traditional Chinese painting techniques.

And the work "Landscape Love" is the most beautiful ink painting song in his memory!

Regardless of the cost, this ten-minute animation was shot entirely with ink painting and editing, and the combination of the images and the guzheng soundtrack can be said to be the pinnacle of ink animation.

In this time and space, perhaps because of the restructuring and decline of SMI in 1986, this animation work has not been released.

Just when Li Youzhi was thinking about whether he should listen to the advice and release this beautiful masterpiece, the ink-and-wash legacy, netizens who saw the new fans' suggestions in the live broadcast room were already laughing and laughing!

"I didn't expect my new friend to have mastered the essence of my little brother's operation so quickly. This suggestion of ink painting is not bad! This is going to speed up my brother's bankruptcy!"

"Hahaha, you kids have probably forgotten how Shangmei went bankrupt before. You made three ink animations in a row and lost money without even being able to pay the artist's salary. New friends, you really don't care about your kids. Brother’s money is money!”

"I suggest you not to listen to the advice of these new netizens, and resolutely protect our little brother. We must not let new trolls bully honest people!"

"Ah, yes! This honest guy can only be bullied by us Lezi people!"

What kind of group are Lezi people?

Although I am not very capable, I have seen a lot of the world!

Many Leziren netizens in their thirties witnessed the decline of domestic animation in the 1990s.

How did the animation company that was the closest to Disney in China come to be unable to recover from the fall of Meiying?

It was because after making three ink paintings in succession, namely "Tadpole Looking for Mom", "Mu Flute" and "Deer Bells", that the meager financial resources were exhausted, and finally the salary could not be paid for several months, which led to A large number of outstanding painters from the United States were forced to resign and outsource their paintings to Japanese animation companies!

Unlike other types of animation, ink animation can be processed using a computer. Every frame needs to be drawn by hand. If you want good animation effects, the artist's skills are extremely demanding.

In modern three-dimensional animation, if a picture is not done correctly, you can modify it, but in ink animation, if a picture is not handled well, it will have to be redrawn.

This is a huge challenge for the quality of production personnel and production costs.

In the live broadcast room, watching the barrage of a group of happy netizens in the interactive area, the netizen who just proposed to let Li Youzhi do ink animation was obviously anxious!

“Perhaps the production cost of ink animation is high, and perhaps there is no market, but precisely because everyone in the industry is pursuing commercialization and everyone in the industry is compromising on box office and ratings, our own content is getting less and less!

Think about our domestic animations back then, including the meticulous "Havoc in Heaven", the ink-based "Tadpole Looking for Mom", the paper-cut "Fisher Boy" and "Calabash Baby"...

It was such a glorious era. Even Japanese animation authors came to us as pilgrims. Now we have compromised with the market and have box office, but what about our own things? "

In the dormitory.

Li Youzhi pursed his lips as he looked at the barrages posted quickly by the netizen with the ID "Shu Shu Shu Bu End".

Although the box office of "Nezha" is still soaring, as a director, Li Youzhi has completed most of the work on the project.

Originally, his plan was to have two to three million amazing points in his account every day and lie down for a while.

But now, Li Youzhi was happy to see the new fan in the live broadcast room who single-handedly penetrated the interactive area of ​​the live broadcast room and silenced a group of experienced Lezi people.

"Listen to my advice, let's get started with ink animation!"

As Li Youzhi agreed to the matter in the live broadcast, the barrage in the interactive area... suddenly boiled!

At the same time, Wallace near the Wangjing campus of Central America.

"He agreed, he really agreed! Ah ah, Xiaozhi-san, he really took my advice!"

At the dining table by the window.

A girl with fair skin and short ear-length hair was wearing a Chinese-style cotton robe, with her sleeves rolled up high to reveal two sections of arms. She looked like she had stepped out of an old photo from the Republic of China. She immediately let out a burst of cheers!

Seeing Li Youzhi on the screen of her mobile phone, several girls on the side also made sharp explosions.

"I heard that you have a good face again, wuwuwu, what kind of model of the best husband is this?"

"You are not allowed to rob me! I officially declare unilaterally that this is the father of my child!"

On the other side, looking at a group of girls in the class, especially the girl with short hair...that is, Jing Shu, a 21st-level Chinese painting major from Central America, was looking excited, a boy whose fingers were dyed cyan with ink had eyes full of jealousy.

"Isn't it just that a person is a little good-looking, has a little fame, and makes a little money from making movies? As for that?"

"A guy who graduated from a third-rate pheasant university, what the hell,"

Hearing his muttering, several girls next to him immediately gave him a look that was mixed with nails!

"Why is there such a strong sour smell? Is there something unclean if you suck it?"

"Wang Yan, it seems to come from you."

Being stared at with disdain by his classmates Sun Tingting and Zhou Chang, Wang Yan, a 21st-level Chinese painting major, turned red in the face.

After taking a quick peek at An Jing Shu by the window, he turned away.

With a face full of shame and anger, he picked up his phone and logged into Li Youzhi's live broadcast room.

"It's funny, making animation and making ink animation are two things! One is a product and the other is art. If you want to make ink animation, my advice is to buy some brushes, ink sticks and watercolors first, and then learn Chinese painting in 1788. Come on! Don’t go abroad and be embarrassed!”

Taking a deep breath, Wang Yan edited a barrage and sent it!

…

Li Youzhi's live broadcast room.

Seeing that malicious barrage, a group of people who were just talking nonsense in the comment area instantly transformed into Yin Yang Masters!

The fun people are admittedly outrageous, but it’s so good to know the difference!

"That stinky idiot in front, if you don't understand animation production, please stop beeping. Why do we need to raise a chicken first if we want to eat eggs?"

"Where does this sense of superiority come from? Chinese painting and ink painting have become a niche art now, why are you still holding it?"

"Brother, don't pay attention to this kind of bully. Listen to your advice. We won't implement this rubbish suggestion!"

Beep!

Received a suggested task (buy some brushes, ink sticks and watercolors, learn Chinese painting). The difficulty of the task is 5 stars. After completion, you can get a C-level reward treasure chest!

The task list has been updated;

1. Live a wonderful life...

5. Produce an animation work to show national and traditional culture.

6. Participate in the Ottawa Animation Film Festival and win a grand prize.

7. Buy some brushes, ink sticks and watercolors, and learn Chinese painting.

Seeing the new suggested task popping up in the interactive area, Li Youzhi was speechless and shed tears, and took a screenshot of the barrage.

Damn, you have to be a new fan and be reliable after all...

Don't care if it's positive or negative, they really give you suggestions!

If every one of his fans were like this, Brother Zhi's appearance would have already exceeded 100, making him the pinnacle of Asian appearance!

Seeing the group of fun-loving netizens in the live broadcast room exchanging heated words with the netizen with the ID name [Yanbi Danqingsheng], Li Youzhi silently closed the live broadcast room and opened the treasure chest with his backhand.

Li Youzhi didn't know much about traditional Chinese painting.

I casually found a store with the highest reputation. After some selection, Li Youzhi chose two outline pens, large, medium and small, Yideko ink which is more suitable for beginners, Sakura brand dyes and the ones recommended by the store. Raw rice paper.

After paying the money and seeing that the seller had arranged delivery, Li Youzhi threw the phone aside.

Seeing that it was lunch time, he stretched out, picked up his coat and headed to the school cafeteria.

A night of silence.

At 6:30 the next morning, Li Youzhi got up after running around the territory of China, took his sports bag and went straight to the 21day Fitness Center.

After returning to his normal pace of life and sweating profusely in the gym, Li Youzhi returned to the dormitory, took a shower, changed into a comfortable linen shirt, and then came to Agricultural University.

After picking up the national beginner's set ordered yesterday from the courier, Li Youzhi came to Tongchenshe's office.

Unpacking the express packages one by one, Li Youzhi couldn't help but secretly smacked his tongue when he looked at the pile on the table.

Or is it that the art of Chinese painting is becoming more and more niche now?

The cost of learning is really high!

Just such a pile of pens, inks, paper, inkstones and rice paper cost Brother Zhi more than 700 yuan!

If a child starts learning this from a young age, and the tuition and supplies are included, it will cost more than ten or two hundred thousand to complete the course?

After sorting out the tools he had acquired in exchange for more than 700 yuan, Li Youzhi turned on his shaking hands and started the live broadcast directly!

It was past 10 o'clock on Saturday morning. At this time, netizens were still discussing the today's box office of "Nezha" in the comment area, wishing that the box office would exceed 300 million in a single day.

Seeing Li Youzhi's start prompt, hundreds of thousands of netizens poured into the live broadcast room in an instant.

Seeing that the number of people online exceeded 100,000 just after he started broadcasting, Li Youzhi smiled faintly at the camera and hung the screenshot of yesterday's barrage in the live broadcast screen.

"Friends, yesterday a netizen suggested that before doing ink animation, you should start by learning Chinese painting. Now I have bought the tools. Is the [brush-painting student] from yesterday still there? Sincerely asking, what should I do next? Learn Chinese painting Which step should I start with?"

Studio.

"Vocal is so outrageous! Brother, if you want to eat eggs, do you really start by raising chickens? That idiot yesterday was obviously a bully, why are you paying attention to him?"

"Brother, I'm just saying, sometimes you really don't need to listen to advice. If you want to do ink painting, we won't stop you from participating in the Ottawa Film Festival, but you can just go to the painter directly!"

"Spend some money, it won't cost much, there are plenty of painters out there! There's no need to learn Chinese painting from scratch!"

In the early morning, when I saw Li Youzhi wearing a pure white loose linen shirt and the fully prepared set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, the barrage in the live broadcast room... exploded!
