Chapter 852: Discomfort
However, no matter how hard he is, the animation in the next twenty minutes still makes Yu Feihang feel regretful.
As they received in advance, the first episode of "Wine of Life" is really hard to admit that it is good, and it even puts the obstacles it gives to the audience worse than the worst expectations in Feihang - during the entire episode of the animation, most of the editors took their eyes off the TV and did their own things.
His editors are all animation fans and have always supported He Xi, but when the "Wine of Immortality" was broadcast, only about one-third of the people were patient and watched it. Even if they were like this, can other viewers still count on it?
"How is it?" Although the answer was vaguely produced in my heart, in order to determine the direction of the report, Yu Feihang still had to know the opinions of other editors from his mouth: "Did you find any highlights in this episode of "Wine of Immortality"?"
"How many highlights are there?" One editor shook his head and sighed: "But it's useless. To be honest, I don't understand this animation."
This is the first time I have watched the animation, and the editor's head is still empty.
"So too, the camera switches too frequently and I don't know what to say at all." Another editor rubbed his brows. "Wine of Immortality" brought him a feeling like a 3D game. After watching one episode, he was completely dizzy.
None of the other editors who had watched the animation did not nod in agreement.
"It's too boring. The story and the picture are very scattered. You can't find the cause and effect. Time is messy. If you can understand it, you'll be a ghost." "This animation is simply amazing. After watching an episode, I don't even know who the protagonist is!", "It's even more difficult than I imagined. I don't know what to write about the report."
Not understanding - this has become the consensus of all editors. Before the animation was broadcast, in fact, there were a few editors who didn’t believe in evil. Does the TV station really not understand it if they didn’t understand it? Maybe they just weren’t serious enough and their minds weren’t fast enough!
But after watching this episode of "Wine of Eternal Life", the editors were speechless. This was really not understandable. No matter how smart you are, this episode of animation could not tell you what it was talking about - not only because the pictures and stories were dispersed in a distorted way, but also because it didn't even have a 'protagonist'.
There are too many people appearing in the whole animation, but none of them are particularly obvious protagonists. They can't catch the clues of the story at all, how can people understand this?
Yu Feihang faced this situation, and "The Wine of Immortality" is very complicated. He has never seen such an animation. The story is too scattered, and there seems to be connections in the middle, but people don't know how to connect. This technique is unheard of even in TV series, let alone animation.
"Is this a movie?" said one editor: "Although I can't understand it, I feel like watching a movie."
This sentence made other editors deeply agree with it. The narrative technique of "Wine of Life" is very magical. The beginning of which is two "bystander" characters who are like journalists. The story begins with the dialogue between these two characters, just like telling a story. It is very impressive.
But the dialogue between these two "bystanders" is not an ordinary dialogue, but a little philosophical language-like dialogue. From the time of the origin of the story to the meaning of the rainbow, and when it comes to different perspectives of the protagonist, the animation shots that trigger it also shuttle through like slides.
"Looking back, this animation feels quite profound." The editor just now said: "But it is obviously thankless to put such a profound narrative technique on the animation. What is Teacher He Xi for?"
Yu Feihang turned to look at the other editors: "You think so too?"
"I saw Teacher He Xi's intention in "Wine of Eternal Life". This animation cannot be a bad movie." A female editor turned the ballpoint pen in her hand and shook her head, "But its ratings will definitely be very poor."
"It's absolutely not popular - this narrative technique is so deceptive. I think even if the animation is broadcast for a few more episodes, the audience will not understand it." "And the problem is not only the technique, but the subject matter is also very worrying." "I can't believe that such a violent and bloody animation is made by Teacher He Xi."
If fragmented, chaotic, frequently changed animation shots and characters are a hindrance that prevents the audience from watching "Wine of Immortality", then violence and blood are another factor that will drive the audience across this hindrance out.
In the first episode of "Wine of Eternal Life", the story is not explained clearly, but there are many bad shots. Even after watching it, the audience may only leave behind countless violent and bloody scene impressions in their hearts.
In just twenty minutes, there were scenes of murder, beating, dismemberment, gangsters fighting, cutting off young people's fingers with a knife, shooting on the street with a gun, etc. There were also disharmonious scenes in many scenes. It can be said that these close-ups formed the story of the first episode.
This is too easy to arouse the audience's disgust. There is a shot that has brought a great impact on Yu Feihang, and it will feel disgusting when you think about it.
It was a man holding a woman covered in blood. When surrounded by the police, the man waved to the police. The hand was half broken and only bones were left in the forearm. When he waved his hand, the protruding bone was filled with flesh and blood, which was too realistic and so realistic that it made people feel nauseous.
Thinking of this shot, Yu Feihang's judgment on "Wine of Immortality" became shaken. No matter how much he believes in He Xi's animation quality, can such a shot and such a dark style be accepted by the audience?
To be honest, such an animation can already be rated as ‘Not for underage viewers’. Yu Feihang did not expect "Wine of Immortal" to be so bloody, it completely subverted his long-term feeling for He Xi.
And he also believes that after this animation is broadcast, it will soon trigger intense discussions among all He Xi fans. He Xi's past animation styles are sunny and positive. Even if there are a few exceptions, those animations will not touch the bottom line, and the feeling it brings to the audience will not be disgusting.
Take the still-popular "The Rebellious Lelouch" as an example. Although it is evil, there is no such uncomfortable scene.
But these healthy feelings may disappear completely in "Wine of Eternal Life".
"Just use these shots as key points..." At this time, Yu Feihang thought about what content their newspapers should revolve around to edit reports. Since he doesn't understand the story of "Wine of Eternal Life", it would be better to explore the animation of "Wine of Eternal Life" around the end of blood and violence. (To be continued...)
