"sure."

Xu Rui originally thought Zhou Hongyu would go to interview Wu Yi as soon as possible, but he soon discovered that the martial arts director who had already won the fourth annual animation in his life at a young age had long been surrounded by reporters. Zhou Hongyu probably couldn't make an exclusive interview with him as a reporter on Ningjiang TV like last year, so he came to Xu Rui.

The two came to the bar near the corner of the banquet hall, where there were many elegant seats, which seemed to be for private talks for the guests.

Finding two opposite positions and sitting down, Zhou Hongyu took out the recorder and then asked.

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

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

"It is impossible to say that there is no regret at all. After all, this is the highest award in the Chinese animation industry, but for a newcomer, being shortlisted is already a compliment. It can only be said that the "Iron Magician" directed by Wuyi is indeed impeccable. He deserves this award."

Upon hearing Xu Rui's answer, Zhou Hongyu nodded slightly. Through this question, she roughly determined the direction of the next inquiry. If Xu Rui himself was a arrogant person, then Zhou Hongyu would start asking questions to Xu Rui himself, trying to dig out some explosive points. But if Xu Rui was relatively calm like what he said, then Zhou Hongyu would start from the work.

The two talked about Xu Rui's creative experience and the public's favorite content such as the creative anecdotes of "Soul Devouring: Zero".

Xu Rui and Zhou Hongyu were chatting and laughing, and his natural and steady attitude impressed Zhou Hongyu.

Originally, Zhou Hongyu believed that as a new director who had such a big stir in the animation industry just one year after graduation, Xu Rui should either be as unruly and arrogant as a martial arts director, or she would be as timid as an ordinary newcomer in the workplace.

But unexpectedly, Xu Rui is like a veteran in the industry who has been experienced for many years. It is not difficult to communicate with him at all. Xu Rui understands the key points of the reporter's questions and gives satisfactory answers. Zhou Hongyu even feels that he and Xu Rui have been rehearsing interviews for a long time.

"When it comes to this, I have also watched Fantasy Electric Animation's recent "Unnatural Death". The plot is very touching. This animation also touches the special profession of forensic that has not been mentioned in the animation industry in the past. I wonder what your idea was to create this animation?"

Zhou Hongyu looked through his interview notes and asked.

"Well, first of all, this is an animation about the work of forensics, so naturally we have to start with the cases encountered by forensics in daily life. Secondly, compared to suspense stories, I want the audience to feel the emotions that forensics usually feel. When facing life and death, people always have to think a little about it. Therefore, I think exploring the story behind death is more valuable than discussing death itself."

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

"In contrast to the pain and hatred brought by death, I want the audience to feel the warmth contained in it, just as at the end of "Soul Devouring: Zero", Huangfu Xun's feelings for Li Leshen were not hatred and jealousy, but love."

"It seems that the endings of your three works in director Seo Rui seem to be moving. Is this your creative philosophy?"

Zhou Hongyu asked.

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

Xu Rui smiled and continued.

"To be honest, compared to the animation master and the new star director, I think the title of "Love Warrior" is more suitable for me."

"The warrior of love?"

Zhou Hongyu was a little confused and tilted his head.

......

It was already ten o'clock when the dinner ended. Xu Rui drove Guo Weiren and Su Liyu home first, and then went to the place where Yi Qianqian and her friends held a tea party. After waiting for a while, they took Yi Qianqian back to their home in Ningjiang New District.

After attending the dinner, the reporters who dealt with it made Xu Rui very tired. He was very glad that he chose to fill his stomach first.

After washing up, the two of them rested. There was still one day in the comic exhibition tomorrow. Xu Rui decided to go to the booths of major video websites to see the situation.

In the middle of the night, major media soon saw news about the annual animation award ceremony written by the returned reporters. Among them, the articles published on Ningjiang TV’s Weibo were unique.

Compared to many similar news interviews with directors of Wu Yi, this Weibo post published an interview about Xu Rui.

The title is "From the stars and the sea to the delicate daily life, Xu Rui: I want to make a heartwarming animation."

This article is basically obtained after a certain amount of interview content between Zhou Hongyu and Xu Rui. It is accompanied by some background introductions. The whole article has no artistic processing and is very simple question and answer.

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

On the A2 forum, there were dozens of replies quickly under the posts that reprinted this article.

【yaoniming300】: The heart-warming animation is OK, these animations are clearly cold and heart-wrenching.

[Firepower Superman]: I think he is right. Although the process from "The Voice of the Star" to "Unnatural Death", although the process is a bit abusive, it can still be touched in the end. Moreover, this kind of touch is not simply torture the audience by relying on dead people, but by using elements such as family affection and love that are easy to resonate. After reading these works, you will not feel desperate sadness, but a faint warmth, which is indeed a work that warms people's hearts and heals the soul.

[Start and cold]: Having said so much, is "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" also a healing work? Although the theme is just that, I don't want to see the silly and sweet daily life of a few little girls. The more exciting plot is suitable for me.

[Morning Light Breaking Dawn]: No, you saw that Holofei, who designed the "Unknown Nightmare" series, still thought this animation would be naive and cute on the production team list? I'm afraid that Xu Rui would shoot a heavy-tasting magic girl.

[Squirrel Eats Jelly]: Alas, the recent animations are all fighting and killing, so I want to watch some heartwarming works. Now I’m waiting for October’s "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" to heal my wounded heart. By the way, do you know which website this animation is broadcast on?

Xu Rui did not see these comments because he had received several calls from several different video websites. Although the tone and word use are different, they basically mean the same meaning, that is, the broadcast rights of "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" are too high. If Huandian does not lower the quotation, he may consider not purchasing or delaying purchasing this animation.

Xu Rui knew that this was just a faint thunder before the storm.
Chapter completed!
