At the beginning of August, it was the middle of the summer vacation. Most of the students who had finished the college entrance examination had already determined their future. Many people chose to go out for travel, and many people focused on traveling because of "A String of Life". Local cuisine.

"A String of Life" has become a hot word on Weibo. Barbecue seems to have become everyone's favorite overnight. The business of those shops mentioned in the documentary has become hot, and other barbecue stalls have also become As an alternative to the audience's temporary relief, probably all of China’s barbecue bosses would like to thank "A String of Life" and Xu Rui.

In the headquarter of Hatsune Video Network, Xu Rui was not immersed in the popularity of "A String of Life". "Your Name" will be released on August 16th. He has been busy with the publicity work of this movie recently. Run to participate in some business activities.

Unlike some domestic films, Xu Rui did not choose to show it to promote word-of-mouth. On the one hand, with the foundation of "The Garden of Words", Xu Rui is very relieved for the basic audience of "Your Name", at least this theme , This kind of story is popular among the public.

On the other hand, the story of "Your Name" is special, with its own narrative tricks. Clicking on it will undoubtedly lead to spoilers. Although the spoilers will spread after the premiere, people who watched the movie a few days ago should not It's so easy to see spoilers, and clicking on them will spread the spoilers quickly, which is not good for the viewing experience.

Still in the position of the original painting group, Xu Rui is reviewing the various designs of "From the Abyss". This animation is expected to be broadcast in October and is now starting the production of the first episode. Because of the existence of various animations that are very different from reality Props, so the design of small props is particularly critical.

Different from the realistic style of "Your Name" and "Classical Literature Society Series", "From the Abyss" adopts a fantasy style. To highlight the exotic feeling, you must rely on individual details. These details are related to the plot and the personality. , The world background complements each other. For example, the material of the character’s clothes depends on the degree of productivity development in the world background, and the abyss as the core of the story’s impact on all aspects of people’s daily life. Not perfect.

While watching the settings of the monsters that will appear in the following plot, Xu Rui suddenly received a notification from the front desk that the person who had made an appointment before had arrived.

After tidying up, Xu Rui called Zheng Weijie, got up to the reception room, and saw a middle-aged fat man waiting there.

"Hello, this is Xu Rui from Magic Video, and this is director Zheng Weijie from Magic Video Media."

Xu Rui first stretched out his hand and shook the opponent.

"I'm Zhou Xiao, the choreographer and director of the National Television Station."

The man introduced himself.

After some greetings, Zhou Xiao spoke.

"Mr. Xu, Director Zheng, I came this time mainly for "A String of Life". I think this documentary is very distinctive, not only the material is unique, but the expression method is quite innovative, and the narration copy is also very grounded. "

Hearing his praise, Xu Rui smiled.

"After all, we are an Internet company, and we have a close relationship with users. If we are too tall, it is very likely that users will feel alienated, and it is not suitable for barrage mode.

"I was introduced by my daughter to discover this documentary. You know, she usually doesn't like the documentaries we made by ourselves. She finds it too dull. Perhaps the format of "Life String" is more suitable for young people to watch."

Zhou Xiao feels a little bit that documentaries should not be far away from the masses, but should come to the masses. However, many documentaries nowadays have become a little boring. There are only records but no desire for people to watch. , Documentaries should not only be a mere narrative, but should also be able to attract people to watch.

"That's because our main audience is young people, and our production team is actually very young, so naturally we want to make documentaries based on young people's ideas. It may not be that professional, but we have to be brave enough to try."

Xu Rui knew that Zhou Xiao's purpose in coming this time should be not just to praise "A String of Life", so he added.

"In fact, the documentaries we filmed still have many limitations. Because of cost and technical reasons, we can’t take into account all aspects. Therefore, we can only use barbecue as a cooking method. China itself has hundreds of kinds of food, vast land and abundant resources, and things that can be filmed. There are a lot more."

Seeing Zhou Xiao's eyes lit up, Xu Rui continued.

"Actually, food documentaries are not aimed at young people. It's just that barbecue is the favorite way for young people. If there are enough resources, filming a documentary about Chinese food culture should attract more people. Audience."

"Yes, Director Zhou, you only know about "A String of Life" after being introduced by your daughter. It shows that our film is only popular among young people and has not been able to expand to the entire age group."

Zheng Weijie added that the Internet's communication mode is still very limited. Middle-aged and elderly people who don't pay much attention to the Internet have not seen "Life Strand", and those who don't like barbecue will not pay attention. Therefore, " The popularity of "A String of Life" is limited to the Internet and a part of the offline, and it has not completely become popular among the people.

"This is the purpose of my visit this time. There was a proposal for a food documentary on the TV station before, but it didn't take place for various reasons. After watching "A String of Life", the idea of ​​making a Chinese food documentary emerged. , I hope to invite two people to participate in the production.

Zhou Xiao said that he is just a director, and that a documentary film needs a lot of procedures from initiation to shooting. First of all, he has to talk to the leaders in the stage, and Xu Rui and Zheng Weijie have filmed the film "A String of Life". The help of people who kind of fire documentaries on the Internet makes the leaders agree more likely.

"This idea is good. When I visited and collected materials, I actually came into contact with a lot of local food besides barbecue. It's a pity that it didn't match the theme, so I didn't adopt it in the end. There are some touching stories in it that could not be presented."

Zheng Weijie said that when he collected materials, he always asked local people. He did encounter several food-related stories, but the theme of "A String of Life" was barbecue after all, and some unrelated stories could only be discarded.

"In fact, we had this plan at the beginning, Director Zhou, but Magic Media is not strong enough to shoot such a magnificent subject~lightnovelpub.net~ But if it is shot by a national TV station, I think it will be good."

Xu Rui is not greedy. If you want to use the entire country of China as a background, it is better to be in charge of a professional TV station. He is at most a consultant, and by the way, it is almost enough to get an exclusive network broadcasting right for Chuyin Video.

"Yes, there are sufficient resources in the station, but there have been no good themes. Before, there were various historical and natural documentaries, and few breakthroughs were made.

Zhou Xiao nodded slightly, and Xu Rui knew what Xu Rui meant.

Thinking of this, Xu Rui continued.

"Since it is a documentary that covers Chinese food, I have a name here. I don't know what Director Zhou feels like."

"what name?"

Hearing what Xu Rui said before, Zhou Xiao was very excited and hurriedly asked.

"Hua Xia on the tip of your tongue."
