Best wishes for animation production - #504 - Chapter 500 The gap between the enemy and ourselves

The round-faced girl was quickly prepared and looked at Gu Xue with questioning eyes.

“Play it, and then you can take a rest. Thank you for your hard work.”

Gu Xue responded and raised her hand.

Then, she pulled Miss Mihara toward the exit.

Of course, Lyons couldn’t just watch Gu Xue run away: “Don’t you watch?”

“It’s been more than an hour. I’m not interested in watching it again. I’ve seen enough.” Gu Xue shook her head, “Miss Mihara and I will go out for a walk. When we come back in two hours, there is a coffee shop at the door. Really? We’ll meet there later.”

“Look, bye.”

Gu Xue waved to them, and before leaving, she thoughtfully turned off the lights and closed the door for them.

Lyons: “…”

outside the door.

Xiaoyan, the round-faced girl who left together, chatted with Gu Xue for a few words, looked at Gu Xue’s face with some reluctance, and left.

Gu Xue watched the other party leave and pulled Chisa Mihara.

“Let’s go too.”

Chisa Mihara looked back at the editing room: “Is it okay?”

“Are you willing to stay in a dark place for two hours? Or don’t you want to go out for a walk with me?” Gu Xue stopped, tilted her head slightly, and looked at Chisa Mihara.

Chisa Mihara: “No…it doesn’t matter, let’s go.”

“Wait.” Gu Xue grabbed Chisa Mihara who was walking forward and dragged her back to him: “You don’t act like it doesn’t matter. You can’t care about Lyons and the others… you are curious. An animated movie?”

This was the only possibility. Because Attack on Titan was being produced, she had never been exposed to the Pacific Rim project, so it was normal for her to be curious.

“……Um.”

Chisa Mihara hesitated for a moment and nodded, confirming Gu Xue’s idea.

“Ha, sure enough.”

Gu Xue showed an expression that I had seen through, and then said with a smile: “Miss Mihara, don’t worry, what’s the point of the small screen now, the space is still so crowded. Wait until the animation is released, after the animation is released, sister Wouldn’t it be better to take you to the cinema and watch it on a big screen?”

Chisa Mihara looked at her ‘good friend’: “…Sister?”

The focus is completely off.

“What for?” Gu Xue puffed out her chest and said with a half-smile, “Am I not worthy?”

“…”

“Hey, hey, I don’t deserve it. I don’t deserve it. Just let me down…it’s so embarrassing to be here.”

Gu Xue’s face was slightly red, she patted Chisa Mihara’s shoulder and gave up immediately.

Chisa Mihara put Gu Xue down.

But this time, after putting down Gu Xue, Mihara Chisa did not have a sullen face like before, but quietly stepped forward and puffed out her chest, as if to declare something.

Gu Xue: “…”

? ? ?

…

the other side.

After Gu Xue left.

He turned off the light easily.

As the door was also closed.

The editing room immediately went dark.

It was very quiet in the dark environment.

The only sound was the breathing of Lyons and John…

The atmosphere suddenly became anxious.

Fortunately, the screen lit up in time to dissipate the anxious atmosphere. The bright light shone on the faces of Lyons and John, finally making them realize that they were here to watch a movie, not to shoot a movie (big fog).

On the projection screen.

The picture appears.

First up is the publisher’s short film.

Then there is the YUKI Studio LOGO.

Other than that, nothing more.

Go directly to the main film.

【KAIJU (Monster) Giant, Beast.】

【JAEGER (Hunter) Hunter.】

At the beginning of the animation, two lines of words emerged, throwing out two concepts.

When Lyons and John saw this, they immediately straightened their backs subconsciously. When the word KAIJU appeared, they knew that Gu Xue was not making fun of themselves.

“When I was a child, every time I felt small or lonely, I would look up and look at the stars, wondering if there was any other life outside.”

“Now that I think about it… I was looking in the wrong direction. When alien creatures arrived, they emerged from the depths of the Pacific Ocean. The rift between the two crustal plates became the door between dimensions, known as gap.”

“When I was fifteen, the first monster landed in San Francisco.”

Some deep voices spoke calmly.

On the projection screen, the picture changes, the lens moves down, falls into the water, and then dives into the deep sea.

This is different from the original movie. After all, this is animation. The movie’s method of crazily cramming information into the screen through rapid editing is simply not realistic or feasible in hand-drawn animation production.

In this regard, Gu Xue chose a very extreme approach.

The movie is crazily packed with information, so she crazily compresses it.

So far, her approach is working well.

Although there is no blinding fast editing and rich picture elements, it also allows the audience to have more energy to pay attention to the narration and understand the world view. Moreover, compressing the picture information does not mean that there is no information. The dark deep sea, the floating and rising bubbles, and the light in the cracks…

And as the words “When I was fifteen, the first monster landed in San Francisco” were spoken, the gray scene suddenly changed.

The audience’s attention is instantly diverted.

San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge appears in the frame.

Lines of text appear in the upper left corner of the screen.

[Intruder: Trespasser Unrated

Invasion date: 2013…

Height: 92 meters, weight: 2700 tons!

speed……】

Then, a huge monster, with a head like a giant axe, and a thick cuticle shell, entered the camera from the right.

And hit the Golden Gate Bridge head-on!

The bridge began to shake, the parked vehicles on the bridge made piercing warning sounds, the monster’s limbs trampled on the bridge, the suspension ropes began to break, and eventually, the entire bridge disintegrated.

Countless vehicles, concrete blocks, and the main body of the bridge fell into the sea.

The bridge collapsed, and in the smoke, the monster was completely visible. The fighter jet roared into the smoke, hit the monster’s tail, and lit up a spark.

The animation was still crazily compressing screen information one second, but the next second, the screen was filled with various elements. The impact of the contrast between the two was simply explosive.

Lyons and John stretched their necks and leaned forward slightly, staring intently at the projection screen, their buttocks almost lifting off the sofa underneath.

And this is just the beginning.

The Trespasser monster appears, and after a glimpse, the animation begins to compress the screen information again.

The narration continued.

“By the time tanks, fighter jets and missiles finally took it out, it had already taken six days, three cities had been razed to the ground, and tens of thousands of lives had been lost.”

“However, just six months later, a second monster swept through Manila, and then a third…and then a fourth…and then we understood that this was not going to stop at all, and the counterattack had only just begun.”

“We need new weapons.”

“In order to defeat the monster, we created our own monster – the Hunter Project, and thus was born.”

The narrator spoke in a low and calm voice, and thick-coated still paintings flashed by. The information in the pictures was pitiful, but the still paintings, like faded photos, gave the audience a glimpse of the tragic situation.

The monsters need no explanation, but the Hunter plan is revealed just two minutes into the movie.

At this time, the screen turned, showing a man holding his left arm horizontally, with machinery and wiring wrapped around his left arm, and he clenched his fist.

Behind him, the large mechanical arm also clenched its fist.

The power of steel.

Only two minutes had passed, and the entire world view had been constructed.

It’s not a complicated world view.

“Pacific Rim” doesn’t need a complicated world view.

Robots, monsters.

Want to fight.

Not so much clutter.

But it only took two minutes to deeply attract the only audience of the movie so far.

Lyons looked at the projection screen and opened his mouth slightly.

John had the same expression.

Until now.

They feel it clearly and intuitively.

What is the gap between the enemy and ourselves?
