Chapter 045. The words are not amazing
The guest presenting the award was an old director in his forties. He had no works in recent years, but he still had an influence in the industry. He opened the envelope, saw the name on it, and then pronounced it out.
"The work that won the Best Animation Award of the Animation Industry Conference this year is... "The Pure Love Teacher and Pretty Student".
The moment he revealed, the lights in the banquet hall dimmed, and a chasing light moved in the venue, which quickly frozen on Wu Yi.
At this time, he was still struggling with the chicken legs. Suddenly, the surroundings became quiet. Only the light was shining near him, which made the director stop the movements in his hand and look around blankly.
"Martial Arts Director, you won the award."
Xu Rui reminded in the darkness of the light that Wu Yi raised his head as if he suddenly realized the truth, reluctantly put down the food in his hand, and asked the waiter to come to wipe his palms with a napkin, while walking up to the podium.
Everyone seemed to be accustomed to the eclectic appearance of the martial arts director. He took the gilded trophy and walked to the microphone.
"As usual, you have to make a declaration of winning. As we all know, since the Animation Award was established, you are the second director to win this award three times. Compared to Director Lee Soo-ming, who only won the third prize at the age of 45, you are younger than Director Lee Soo-ming, who won the third prize at the age of 45. So what do you expect from this?"
The host asked from the side, roughly guiding Wu Yi to say things like thanking the company, thanking the committee, and thanking colleagues, but Wu Yi paused and spoke directly.
"I won this award this time, which is the result of our team's joint efforts. It is well deserved, but as me, I am not satisfied."
His words made the people in the audience start to talk. Generally speaking, the winner should be modest. Even if he is proud, he will say a few words symbolically, but Wu Yi is not shirkable and has a confident attitude.
The lights around had already lit up before. Wu Yi looked around the audience, then raised his left hand, opened his five fingers and said.
"My goal is five, five annual animation awards. I will lead my team to win the next two annual animation awards. If you want to challenge, please do your best. I will use Rainbow Media's strongest production level to face the challenge."
His expression was a bit ferocious when he spoke. Combined with the silence of the whole audience, it was like a great devil making a declaration of conquering the world.
Although his performance was a bit exaggerated and his lines were hit twice, no one could laugh.
If an unknown director said that he would win the fifth annual animation award, no one would believe it, but Wu Yi, who has won the annual animation award three times, is only thirty years old. Just as the director at the peak of this sentence, people have to weigh it.
Because what he said is likely to be realized.
The declaration of the incompetent is arrogant.
So what about capable people?
Xu Rui was also a little excited when he looked at this director who was several years older than him but still had a passionate heart.
No matter what the supporters behind the Animation Awards are, they are always one of the most authoritative awards in the animation industry in China. If you can win five times and retire after success, what a strong and dominant production team will be like, and how wonderful the animations will be.
When Xu Rui thought of this, he felt excited.
"What, do you want to challenge him?"
Yi Qianqian came to Xu Rui at some point. She wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin and asked at Wu Yi on the stage.
"Soul Devouring: Zero" should not be very good. Both the production and the script are far from truly excellent animations. If the martial arts director's level is really that strong, we don't have to think about next year's annual animation."
Xu Rui said that after he gets off work in the evening, he will carefully watch the excellent animations in the world in recent years, and learn their production skills by pulling films. He knew that Xu Rui actually has no advantages in terms of animation techniques. If he wants to make his animation successful, he can only rely on powerful creativity and some special gimmicks for the time being.
However, Xu Rui is confident that after completing "Soul Devouring: Zero" and obtaining a revenue expansion company, he will produce works that can truly compete for the Animation Awards of the Year.
"But the Animation Award of the Year after year, maybe we can try to hit that position."
Xu Rui's words made Yi Qianqian's gaze look. She stared at Xu Rui's side face who was saying these words, feeling familiar.
She didn't say anything, just smiled.
......
Wu Yi's words soon spread throughout the Chinese animation industry. People were afraid of his arrogance, but at the same time, they were also impressed by Wu Yi's confidence.
After so many years of Chinese animation, no one dared to speak like this. The meaning of martial arts is like you can do it casually. Then I will pull together and have absolute confidence.
If someone really can win the five-year Animation Award, it would be a legend.
In the past, due to the cumbersome animation production, there were actually not many works that could compete for the annual animation. This was also the reason why director Li Xiuming won the award at that time.
However, with the development of the animation industry in recent years, well-made works have emerged one after another, and the industry is full of flowers. It has become very difficult to win the grand prize alone. No matter how talented a martial arts director is, it has not won the award for three consecutive years. In one year, it can be seen that it was intercepted by the mushroom film "Watermelon & Scissors".
It is already very difficult to win the annual animation award, let alone five times.
That night, after Xu Rui and Yi Qianqian took the subway home after the banquet, Xu Rui received a news push from his mobile phone, and the report was tonight's annual animation selection.
In addition to regular news summary, this report also has interviews with martial arts directors.
“This is very fast.”
Xu Rui thought about it. After the martial arts director received the award, there were indeed many interviews from reporters. He thought he would only see the interview tomorrow.
He looked forward and found that the news did not come from some animation professional organization, but from Ningjiang TV's Weibo.
If you remember correctly, the previous news about HuanDian also came from this Weibo account. Are TV stations now so concerned about the animation industry?
Xu Rui glanced at the name of the writer, Zhou Hongyu. He remembered the name a little, and then turned down to the interview.
When Xu Rui saw this, he was suddenly a little silenced.
Because his name actually appeared in the Q&A interview.
Q: We all know that there are many talents in the animation industry nowadays. So, Wuyi Director, have you had any new and new works that you impressed recently?
A: Yes, of course, I think "The Voice of Stars" is a very good animation. If anyone in the industry can compare with me at the moment, then I think it should be Xu Rui, the author of "The Voice of Stars".
