Chapter 015. "Little Deer Chachi"

Of course, Xu Rui didn't know about these internal entanglements. His main focus is on how to rebuild an animation company.

Fortunately, his dad left at least one studio for him, so Xu Rui didn't have to worry about the most troublesome workplace problems.

But human beings are still a big problem.

Not to mention a large animation company like Rainbow Media, it is the most basic studio that can independently produce an animation, and at least it must have a dedicated original artist, animator, photographer and producer. Even if Xu Rui has memories from the earth and can independently direct scripts and performances, completing an animation is far more than that simple.

Xu Rui put a bunch of positions in the document and then crossed out several positions, including audio director, 3D production, producer, performance, etc. These parts can be outsourced and do not require special recruitment for the time being, while the other part is that Xu Rui himself can serve as a part-time job.

His expectations for the new fantasy electric animation are very simple. Xu Rui is planning to build it into a small personal studio first. Starting from animated short films, you can take over short works such as advertisements, game titles, promotional films, and then slowly expand.

Xu Rui is actually not worried about money. In fact, with the current popularity of Star Voice, it is very simple for him to attract investment. In addition to asking, Xu Rui also registered a certified account on Weibo. The number of fans has reached 100,000. Just relying on these traffic, it is a considerable income.

In this era, the means of monetizing traffic is relatively basic, but it is enough for Xu Rui.

When Xu Rui traveled through time, he had some plans. The graduation show was a rare opportunity to pay attention to by outsiders. If Xu Rui was perfunctory and wanted to make a name for himself after graduation, it would be a bit difficult to be honest.

Xu Rui has no classes and has finished graduation. Now he is waiting for the final defense. Yi Qianqian goes out to work, and he is the only one at home.

After thinking about it, Xu Rui changed his clothes, picked up the key and went out. He soon took the subway to Ningjiang High-tech Development Zone and arrived in front of the building of Fantasy Electric Animation.

He opened the iron gate, walked upstairs, then opened the folder and counted the assets in the studio.

This is Laohuan electric animation. In the era of hand-painted use of celluloid to make animations, the most common ones in the studio were not computers, but writing stations, as well as shelves filled with art versions and celluloids, and on a table were old-fashioned cameras. This was the equipment used to make celluloid versions into film at that time. In that era, computers were not yet popular. Many times, animation production was like an old movie, and was really cut out of film.

The paint had already dried up. Xu Rui pulled out a file bag from the shelf and opened it. It was a somewhat faded celluloid version. He still remembered that when he was on Earth, he was very interested in this kind of thing when he was a child. However, after he grew up and entered the industry, the entire animation production industry had entered digitalization, and he had basically never been exposed to these things.

When he opened it, he realized that this was one of the famous works of Fantasy Electric Animation, a card of "The Deer Cage".

This animation fifteen years ago is the first independently created animation of Fantasy Electric Animation. It uses animal anthropomorphism that seems to be a bit naive now. It advances the plot through the daily life between Deer Chaqi and other animals in the forest. When Xu Rui was a child, she would stay in front of the TV and wait to watch this animation after school every Friday.

Memories that seem familiar also happen on Earth. Xu Rui first watched animations with the translations broadcast by TV stations every night, from the four-wheel drive car running on the track to the Creation Mountain that keeps climbing up, from the unsightly Skyhawk warrior to the magic card girl who is enlightened by love. It is these works that made Xu Rui devote himself to the animation career when he grew up, hoping to create dreams for people.

Xu Rui put the celluloid board back into the file bag and soon found a roll of film in a white box with the words "Little Deer Chaqi, Episode 35 Masterbelt". You can see the traces of the editing. This was the original film, and the copies of this volume were sent to the TV station later.

“Thirty-five episodes I remember is…”

He murmured to himself, some memories emerged, and a bold idea emerged from Xu Rui. He came to the projection room and blew off the dust from the old projector. After turning on the power, Xu Rui found that the old machine could still be used.

It took him a while to load the film into the projector, and the animation from fifteen years ago was again projected onto the yellowed curtain as the gears rotated.

The 35th episode of "The Deer Cage" is an episode in which the Deer Cage and his friends were trapped in the mountains in a blizzard, and after a adventure, they successfully got out of the predicament. They are praised for their portrayal of wind and snow and metaphorical plots. They are one of the few episodes that left a deep impression on the entire animation.

Since the audio is a little damaged, the animation is silent, but when he saw the blizzard that was completely hand-painted little by little, Xu Rui still felt the touch that the animation once brought to him.

At this moment, a sound came from the door of the screening room. Xu Rui immediately became alert, picked up a stick and came over.

There are few people passing by the old park, so maybe they are a thief.

He raised his stick and stuck his head out quickly, only to find a middle-aged man with a beard standing outside the screening room.

He looked about forty or fifty years old, with gray sideburns, shiny head, strong figure, big palms, wearing a khaki jacket, wrinkled shirt, corduroy trousers, and old leather shoes, and looked like those laid-off workers doing nothing on the street.

"Who are you?"

Xu Rui asked vigilantly, clenching the stick in his hand.

"No one has been in or out of here for more than ten years. Who are you?"

The uncle spoke in a low voice, but he was calm and calm.

“Lawfully, I am the owner of this place.”

Xu Rui lit up his key and said, when he saw the uncle's eyes a little surprised when he saw the key, he probably confirmed that he was not a thief.

"Has this finally been sold?"

The uncle sighed a little, looked around, and then spoke.

"I am the administrator of the warehouse over there. I have been here for more than ten years. Today, I saw the door of this building being opened, so I was curious to come up and take a look."

He pointed to a building in the distance, turned around and happened to see the clip played in the screening room.

"Are you still playing animation?"

“Oh yes…”

Xu Rui then remembered the crunching projector. He returned to the projection room and pressed the pause button. The picture happened to be frozen in the scene of the wind and snow all over the sky.

"This animation is Xiaolu Chaqi, my son used to like watching it."

The uncle said nostalgically, looking at the mottled projection screen is fascinated.

"Uncle, do you know this?"

Xu Rui also looked along his gaze and said to himself.

"The most commendable thing in this episode is the scene of the blizzard. It is said that the original painter has been experiencing his liver for a week and has drawn more than 800 original paintings for this short two-minute clip. All the snowflakes are drawn one by one. The position of the same snowflake in different original paintings is different, which makes the whole picture have an amazing sense of oppression, and even becomes a nightmare for some children for years..."

As he said that, Xu Rui smiled again, realizing that the security guard couldn't understand what he was saying.

"It seems you understand animation very well."

The uncle said, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes, but it quickly faded.

"Yes, I'm going to rebuild the animation company here and I'm counting the equipment."

When the uncle heard Xu Rui's words, he was quite surprised and looked up and down at the young man who looked very young, and he wanted to speak but stopped.

"Since there is nothing wrong, I should go back to work. My little brother, I have a chance to see you."

"Okay, uncle, please walk slowly."

Xu Rui watched the other party walk downstairs and packed the screening room. Then he remembered a problem. He picked up his mobile phone and searched the Internet. He suddenly realized that the building the warehouse manager pointed to was empty five years ago, and there was no warehouse at all.
