For a director, it is definitely a nightmare to produce two TV series at the same time, but He Xi has produced more than two animations at the same time. He also has comics and other things to do. Even if he has only heard of rumors, people can discover He Xi's efforts.

Bai Yan admired Meng Huo's attitude very much, especially after finding those professional books in the car, her appreciation became even better. She believed that many things in the world were determined by her attitude, and He Xi continued to study during her spare time. This attitude indirectly proved that he was a person who was very attentive to things.

It is natural for a person who is so attentive to achieve what he has achieved today...

"To be honest, before meeting Teacher He Xi, I was very worried that Teacher, you are a person who relied on your own abilities..." During the dinner, Bai Yan said: "Now this worry is gone. If you cooperate with the teacher, the quality of your work should be no problem."

She hasn't visited Manga Island yet, but she is already a little moved. Meng Huo gave her very good first impression, and the two should be able to cooperate well at work.

"Then I won't need to visit tonight?" Meng Huo asked with a smile. Bai Yan shook her head: "This is not possible. Although Alice said that animation directors are not more difficult than TV directors, I still have to take a look at the specific situation."

She didn't know much about new things like animation. Before she was not sure enough, Bai Yan didn't dare to easily draw a conclusion: "Teacher He Xi, before visiting, please tell me how to make animation!"

"Okay." Meng Huo nodded, and then told Bai Yan about the process of animation and animation film production at dinner. Bai Yan asked a lot of questions, and the two discussed this topic for more than half an hour. And they also talked endlessly on the way to Manga Island.

"I roughly understand." Before arriving, Bai Yan had roughly understood the production process of an animation, and she was very satisfied: "Although the animation is different from the TV series, the director's responsibilities are similar, and many experiences are common."

From Meng Huo's explanation, she felt that it was not difficult for her to transform into an animation director, but this still requires further investigation.

When the two arrived at Comic Island, the main departments of Phoenix Company had already got off work, but the animation department stayed. The members finished their supper early and waited for Meng Huo's arrival in the department.

"Please..." When Meng Huo brought Bai Yan into the department, all the employees were very excited - for the creators of these animations, a ding-savvy film director is no different from an idol.

The current Chinese animation industry is developing rapidly, but the status of animation creators is not as high as traditional TV and movies. Many practitioners, including the employees of Phoenix Company, still have longing for directors like Bai Yan.

Bai Yan was warmly welcomed. This night, what Meng Huo did not do was not to produce "The Rebellious Lelouch", but to use a small idea that surged out on the spot and took Bai Yan to experience every process of animation production in the animation department.

They spent a few hours and only produced a few minutes of animation, with painters' inappropriate dubbing. In general, this animation can be regarded as a small animation finished product.

“Nothing easier than making a movie…”

After watching the entire process, Bai Yan sighed that she understood the reason why animation is so popular. It is not as simple as it seems on the surface. This new type of "art" is very exquisite. Every minute of the animation is composed of countless pictures, and each painting is carefully drawn by the painters, and the rigorousness of details is even beyond the movie.

"How is it?" Meng Huo asked: "Can you join us?"

"..." Bai Yan fell into silence. She looked at the dozens of painters around her and couldn't help but remember the scene when they made animations - the painters buried their heads in painting together, and the scene where they collaborated was very quiet, but it gave her a shocking feeling.

"I'm afraid I can't control these painters..." Bai Yan thought that some technical things were not a problem. The problem was that she did not have enough vision of "comics", and all painters had to form a unified style. She had to paint the shots as the director told him - an important job of the director is to guide the best shots.

Bai Yan couldn't do this. She knew how to express the scenes and characters of live TV series and movies. Theoretically, animation is the same, but comics are comics, and real people are real people. Even if you know how to do it, it is difficult for Bai Yan to put the theory in the paintings she rarely comes into contact with.

She shook her head and said she could not join Phoenix Company, and the animation department suddenly became cold.

The painters looked disappointed, but Meng Huo was not in a hurry. He asked, "What is the reason for not joining? Are there any difficulties?"

"There are so many difficulties." Bai Yan said helplessly: "I thought the animation would be simpler, but I didn't expect that each shot would take so much effort to produce. I could make the actors change it continuously, but the animation was difficult..."

During the filming of the movie, the camera is not well shot, so that some actors who need it can shoot again and again. However, when making animations, if any error occurs, it must be pushed back and repeated by all the painters and paint them again.

Bai Yan has a low understanding of animation, which leads to many misunderstandings in her judgment. When working under her hands, the artists will bear huge pressure. They may be modified and repeated nine out of ten days, which is not possible.

"So it's this... it doesn't matter." Meng Huo laughed: "At the beginning, any director would do this. Don't look at how smoothly the paintings were tonight, I often ask them to repaint them, and they are used to it."

Without animation, you can succeed in one go. Just like movies, the animation shots have been changed again and again. This is a major job for painters. Meng Huo explained this matter to Bai Yan, hoping that she would not have any psychological burden.

He realized that Bai Yan was not unable to do it, but felt that there would be many mistakes at the beginning, and was worried that it would increase the work pressure of the artists and lead to their dissatisfaction - but this situation, no matter which new director came, he would inevitably encounter it.

"Well..." Bai Yan's expression improved a lot after hearing Meng Huo's explanation, but she still frowned and said unconfidently: "But I see the situation tonight, the animation production speed is too slow, so it is still unrealistic to let me make animations."

The animation is broadcast one episode a week, but from her observation just now, she found that the production speed of the animation is very slow and one episode must be completed within a week, which means that there should not be too many mistakes in the middle - and if she is director, she will definitely not be able to guarantee that one episode a week.

Unless it is of low quality, if so, it would be meaningless for He Xi to invite her over.

"..." Meng Huo pondered and said that at the beginning, he thought it was difficult to have an episode a week. He had cheaters and experience in his previous life, and had a very good understanding of comics and animation styles. Others could not do this.

"How is the movie?" he asked suddenly.

"Movie?" Bai Yan's eyes lit up: "It's like a movie like "Five Centimeters in Seconds"?"

"Yes." Meng Huo nodded and said with experience: "Have you read "Five Centimeters in Seconds"?"

"Of course." Bai Yan laughed. It was coincidental that she was persuaded by Alice because she had watched "Five Centimeters in Seconds" - the animated film was released, which shocked her.

"Five Centimeters in Seconds" is an animated film with a completely different style from a live-action movie. It brings the audience a very different feeling. When Bai Yan first heard about it and went to watch this movie, she was deeply attracted by that style.

"A director like me cannot tempt money." Bai Yan smiled and said, "We pursue better performance techniques. "Five Centimeters in Second" is a gratifying and unique film... I want to get involved in the style of this animated movie."

She told Meng Huo that in fact, the purpose of her willingness to come is to make animated movies. She wanted to make animated movies and explore the charm of such movies that are different from traditional movies. But at first, she thought animated movies were more difficult than animations.

"I was thinking before I came that if I wanted to make a movie, I had to learn to make animations first." Bai Yan said: "If you can't even make animations well, how can you make animated movies? But now I heard from the teacher's words... it seems that's not the case?"

Meng Huo shook his head: "Of course not." There is no difference between animated movies and animations. The two are positioned differently. In fact, he thinks that the director of the film industry is more convenient than the director of animated movies.

"For animated movies, I can give you plenty of time..." Meng Huo said: "It's enough to release one movie in a few months, or even half a year. There should be plenty of time for you to play."

"But..." Bai Yan looked at the painter around: "Animal movies are movies after all, and their pictures are not as simple as animations. If there is any major mistake, it will be more troublesome to solve them?"

"Don't forget that I'm still there, I will help you, and let's talk about it... Isn't it enough to just make a score before making a movie?" Meng Huo said helplessly: "Or make a simple animation of the same length first, determine each shot and details before making a formal movie. Wouldn't there be any mistakes?"

The animation serialization time is very fast, and it will be troublesome to modify it, but the animation movie has plenty of time and there is no problem at all. Meng Huo looked at Bai Yan's eyes slowly lit up, and he knew in his heart that her answer would change.

"The first director has finished talking..." He thought so, and got the first director. With her role model, the second and third ones will be easier. It just so happened that he planned to make an animated movie after the New Year, which is also suitable for these directors to exercise. (To be continued)
