"Bloody Wine" - "Bloody Wine" was the second day after the premiere, after seeing such a metaphor change in the newspaper, even Xing Boxiang smiled bitterly, feeling that this title is truly worthy of its name.

Not only "Bloody Wine", but also words like "Brutal Wine", "Dark Wine", and "Flesh and Blood Flying Wine" appear in newspapers. It seems that most newspapers focus on the bloody scenes of "Bloody Wine".

But it is correct to think about it. If you want to talk about what you feel after watching "Wine of Eternal Life", the words "bloody", "violence", and "darkness" will be the first impression, and the picture is obviously a scene of flesh and blood flying.

These things give people a deep feeling that they can't forget even if they want to.

"...These newspapers were bought in vain." After reading the newspaper, Xingboxiang put them aside. She wanted to get some analysis of the contents of "Wine of Eternal Life" from the newspaper, but found that the direction of the media was not on this.

Journalists are generally paying attention to the bloody Wine of Immortality and the audience's response, and they are not a good conclusion. Xingboxiang bought a total of ten animated newspapers. Except for two of them that are neutral, the contents of the remaining eight are not very optimistic.

However, she had guessed this result after watching the animation yesterday, so she was not surprised by it now. What surprised her was that these newspapers did not analyze the plot of "Wine of Immortality" further - the journalists with great powers also retreated in the animation of "Wine of Immortality".

In fact, Xingboxiang doesn't think "Wine of Life" is very poor. Its animation details are very good, and it is obviously a very attentive work. But the problem is that "it's hard to understand". Perhaps just by sorting out the clues, she will understand the charm of "Wine of Life".

However, it seems that it is not that simple to sort out the clues. So many media have not sorted out.

"This made me even more curious..." Xingboxiang felt like she was catching itchy in her heart. "Wine of Eternal Life" was so mysterious, but she wanted to know the content of the animation even more, just like solving a puzzle. After watching it last night, she was always entangled by this puzzle and wanted to solve it.

This led to Xingboxiang being absent-minded during work hours and not working well. In the end, she simply kept doing it and put her work aside for the time being, turned on the computer and searched - "Maybe someone will analyze the plot online."

She thought so, but the result was not very satisfactory. Not only did she not find the puzzle of "Wine of Life", but on the contrary, she also felt how bad other viewers had about this animation.

Ordinary audiences will not have the ability to accept Xingboxiang and the desire to know. For them, there are two criteria for whether the animation is good or not - whether it can be watched or not, and whether it is possible to watch it happily.

Of course, "Wine of Immortality" cannot meet both standards.

"What I saw in this animation is nothing but blood, violence, it's so bad! I was so angry that I wasted more than twenty minutes in vain!", "I can't accept it. I will never believe that this is Teacher He Xi's work!", "Being famous is willful, and Teacher He Xi is no exception. Does he think that any bad movie can make us admit it?"

As long as you search "Wine of Immortality" online, 90% of the search results are comments and posts from the audience, and they are all negative reviews. There are only a handful of viewers who give positive reviews, and most of these positive reviews are not targeted at animation content.

The main target of the praise is the song "Wine of Immortality". In addition to the opening animation, the ending animation is also very popular. Among some of the ed's mixed feelings, if you want to find bad reviews, you will have a similar chance of finding good reviews in the entire episode of the animation comments.

Xingboxiang also likes the songs in this animation very much, especially ed, which has a particularly artistic conception. The ed in "Wine of Eternal Life" is a song with a slightly sad and spacious feeling. The picture is the starry sky and railroad tracks under the night, which is simple and artistic.

But this is only a song. Apart from the song, there are not many positive reviews that can be found. After watching the first episode, viewers of all types will be overwhelmed by the jumping narrative technique of "Wine of Immortality". The story of the rapid shuttle between characters at different times, places, and characters will be overwhelmed.

Moreover, on Weibo, many radical viewers found the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, questioning the violent rendering of this animation, and advocating that those flesh-and-blooded scenes should be banned, and even blocked the entire animation.

Xingboxiang looked at the number of complaints, which was as high as 560. She was startled and became nervous. Although the broadcast of "Wine of Immortality" means that it must have passed the review, if such a high number of complaints continues to develop, the animation that passed the review may be re-banned.

She was a little worried, and after reading some positive reviews, this worry not only did not decrease, but instead became even worse.

The reasons for those who gave the first episode of "Wine of Life" are not ordinary reasons for praise. Many of them think it is "very fresh". They think "Wine of Life" is He Xi's breakthrough style work, and it has a different sense of freshness.

There is another type of person that is even more dangerous. One audience member wrote: "The Wine of Immortality is so good to my taste! I like to watch bloody films. When I see the pieces of meat and the limbs, my internal organs will be excited - although I don't understand what it is talking about, the picture is so sour and refreshing, and I strongly support it!"

The bloody and cruel scenes attracted the love of many "alternative aesthetics" audiences, but the positive comments of these audiences are by no means good for "Wine of Immortality". On the contrary, they will arouse stronger opposition from others.

"Did that kid do it too much..." Xingboxiang suddenly became suspicious. The first episode began to be controversial. The plot was still long, but can "Wine of Immortality" be broadcast smoothly?

Will this animation become He Xi’s first animation to die? Will she not see it before she uncovers the puzzle of "Wine of Immortality"?

Just think about it this way, Xingboxiang's enthusiasm for "Wine of Life" has faded a lot, and it seems a bit boring. If it is destined to be an animation that will die prematurely, it would be better not to watch it!

However, in the afternoon, after returning home, her husband's words restored Xing Boxiang's enthusiasm a lot.

Her calligrapher's husband Huang Bin also watched "Wine of Eternal Life" yesterday. Compared to Xingboxiang, he seemed to be more optimistic about this animation because of a charity event he participated in today. At the event, Huang Bin met several directors.

"Those directors actually mentioned "Wine of Immortality" to me." He smiled, "They have a high opinion of it. They all say that the editing method and the camera are very interesting, and they look at He Xi with some admiration."

When he mentioned this, Xingboxiang was startled first, and then felt incredible: "They rarely watch animations, how could they watch "Wine of Immortality"?"

"Don't you know yet?" Huang Bin looked at Xingboxiang with a strange look: "Didn't there be a few directors who have changed jobs in Star Dream? Now many people are paying attention to He Xi's movements."

Xingboxiang immediately understood that she almost forgot about this. The four directors who left Star Dream were among the top directors. They suddenly announced their joining Phoenix Company. The shock caused by this incident in China was not small at all, and the directors were even more shocked.

The TV industry was originally gradually eroded by animation and animated movies, but He Xi unexpectedly invited traditional directors to join. This action has too much significance. In this case, He Xi's actions and the actions of the four directors have actually been extremely concerned by others - "Wine of Immortality" is no exception.

"Does..." A question in Xingboxiang's mind suddenly became a little clear. Could it be that He Xi had predicted this situation and produced "Wine of Immortality"? This animation was not made for the audience, but for Chinese directors and other people in the TV and film industry-

"He wants to use this animation to poach people? Or change the low-tech image of the animation? Or have deeper ideas?"

Many thoughts started to sway in Xingboxiang's mind. She quickly asked Huang Bin what the directors who had watched "The Wine of Eternal Life" had specifically said.

"It's nothing, but they're more professional than us." Huang Bin was a little surprised that Xing Boxiang was so interested and answered honestly: "In their eyes, "Wine of Immortality" is very interesting, and the camera transitions are very smooth. There are many story lines, very jumping, and each line is cut into pieces... But that may be a platter."

In the eyes of veteran directors, "Wine of Immortality" is actually not messy at all. Its fragmentary stories are actually just like platters, and it is likely to be put together in the end to form an animation of a complete story.

"This is rare - this is Director Liu's original words. To describe an animation of more than ten episodes as such a fragmented story, in addition to superb directorial skills, and also requires unparalleled control of the script. If a detailed plot is problematic, conflicts will occur before and after, and "Wine of Immortality" will be ruined."

Huang Bin paused and finally said: "So "Wine of Immortality" is likely to die or change the narrative technique halfway. If He Xi could maintain the technology of the first episode until the last episode, "Wine of Immortality" would become an insurmountable classic... a classic on the technical level."

If a technical classic is realized, it will be a new world for other directors in China. It turns out that animation can also be made like this. It turns out that animation is not only a thing for children to play house.

Xingboxiang has already got the answer in his heart.

"That little guy is very ambitious..."

She guessed what He Xi wanted to do, and he was proving himself with "Wine of Eternal Life". The directors are all arrogant people, and it is unlikely that they will turn to a field they underestimate, and will not be under the hands of young people.

If "Wine of Immortal" technically reaches the level of a movie, then perhaps not only the director, but also many senior practitioners will look at animation with admiration and will recognize it even more. (To be continued...)
