Chapter 579
Are you ready? Everyone's waiting for you.
Outside Liu Xin's college, Lu Qingfeng sent him a WeChat message from his car.
【immediately!】
My best friend replied immediately.
Lu Qingfeng stopped urging him and switched from WeChat to Bilibili, opening the first episode of "Tom and Jerry" that he had uploaded a couple of days ago.
After two days of natural display, the data performed even better than he had expected, with views reaching 50,000, over 400 bullet comments, 800 comments, 10,000 likes, and over 2,000 coins (a feature of Bilibili).
The number of fans has increased by more than a thousand, and the total number is about to break two thousand.
"Keep the fire tongs lit."
"Wow, this is something I can watch on Bilibili without spending money?"
"What about the rest? Did the author not finish drawing it? You'll be struck by lightning if you keep doing this."
"I'm still wanting more. This is a high-quality hand-drawn comic. Judging from the previous videos, the author must be a student at a professional art academy."
"The drawing skills are solid, the lines are smooth, and although the scene is simple, it is rich in detail. In particular, the little expressions of the cat and mouse make it easy to distinguish their personalities. It's a pity that it's too short."
"The worst part is he even colored it! I'm so upset!"
……
These are some of the comments that received the most likes in the comment section.
Bilibili's art section has a strong community element, gathering many professional illustrators, art students, and painting enthusiasts who have a basic understanding of this field.
Moreover, the artwork is of such high quality.
In other words, the overall popularity of the painting section is not high; otherwise, the numbers would be far higher.
Click to play the video.
The first picture shows Jerry running forward frantically, swinging his arms, while something grabs his tail from behind. The second picture shows Tom supporting his head with one hand and making a delicate gesture with the other, extending a paw to hold down Jerry's tail.
Jerry tried to escape in a panic, while Tom remained calm and composed.
It is the first episode of the classic cartoon "Tom and Jerry" from the previous life, Sweet Home.
This most famous duo in the world was created in 1940 by animators William Hannah and Joseph Barbera for MGM Studios.
It's likely that neither of the founders expected this IP to become that popular.
The addictive chases, exaggerated physical performances, unlucky Tom, and mischievous Jerry—this love-hate duo has created unimaginable commercial value.
Games, dolls, stickers, stationery, clothing, snacks, movies, and countless other products—they can be found in almost anything you can imagine.
It's probably only slightly less impressive than Mickey Mouse.
Its unique style caters to the preferences of people of all ages.
I wonder what kind of surprises this cat and mouse will bring me in this world.
Lu Qingfeng watched the video until it was almost over.
The last picture shows Jerry standing by the table holding a wine glass, about to throw it down, while Tom is so frightened that he backs away.
Those who have watched this animation should know that Tom and Jerry's appearances have changed in different periods.
The original version depicted Tom as the closest to the original cat, with him on all fours and his ears and tail resembling the British Shorthair.
It wasn't until later that it became the image that the public knew.
During this process, Tom and Jerry went through several animators, with changes in each generation. As a result, the popularity of this animated IP also fluctuated.
Knowing that the character image needs to be consistent, Lu Qingfeng set the Tom and Jerry character as the most classic one from the very beginning.
The "Tom and Jerry" cartoon episode is a little over nine minutes long. After Lu Qingfeng broke down the animation and redrawn it in the form of comics, he did not maintain the length, but instead divided the episode into three parts.
This way, he can reduce the time required and at the same time extend the serialization timeline.
"Tom and Jerry" is an episodic series, so there's probably no need to worry about viewers urging for updates due to long periods without new episodes.
dong dong!
Someone knocked on the car door. Turning around, Lu Qingfeng was startled to see Liu Xin's large face pressed against the car window. Speechless, he put away his phone and opened the door.
"Childish or not."
I haven't seen this guy in a long time; he seems to have gained weight.
Liu Xin got into the car, greeted Zhang Jingyi and Guo Hao who were sitting in the back seat, and then said...
"Tell me if you were scared. By the way, where's your classmate?"
"I went with my girlfriend."
Today was the day a few of us planned to go to the College Student Film Festival together.
The event, held in Dongcheng District, lasted for two weeks and included several programs, such as the "Youth in Light and Shadow" screening of new domestic films; the "Academic Salon" featuring dialogues between directors and screenwriters; and the "Green Stone Project" showcasing new films by young directors.
"I'll go meet up with the main cast and crew first. You can wander around on your own or check out other movies."
When we arrived at the destination, we saw that there were quite a few people there.
During the event, the "Youth in Light and Shadow" screenings were held at two cinemas in Dongcheng District, with movies showing every hour from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
Many of them are blockbusters that will be released during this Spring Festival season, as well as many experimental independent films, and many of them are even made by college students.
The film "You Are the Apple of My Eye" will be screened at 1 p.m., followed by a meet-and-greet, where the author will be present to support the film.
Liu Xin and the other two got out of the car and decided to go see a movie.
Anyway, the tickets are very cheap, only 10 yuan each during the film festival, but popular films are basically sold out because many of the main creative teams are here and hope to promote the films during this period.
Many people come not for the movie, but for the people.
Tickets for the meet-and-greet event were scalped to exorbitant prices.
After dropping off the three people, Lu Qingfeng went to meet with the creators of "You Are the Apple of My Eye".
At the main venue, there was director Wei Ze, male lead Yu Jianghang, female lead Ning Yi, and two supporting actors with more screen time.
"Lu, it's been a long time."
Lu Qingfeng first met these people during winter break, and now it's already summer.
Director Wei Ze was very polite.
There's no way around it; the most popular person in the entire team is actually Lu Qingfeng, the novel's author, and they're counting on him to sell tickets.
Looking at his face, Wei Ze felt a pang of regret.
When he first wanted to adapt this novel, he planned to have Lu Qingfeng play the male lead himself, and he even raised the copyright price for it. At that time, the young man in front of him was not as famous as he is now.
It's a pity the other party didn't agree, otherwise, with his current popularity alone, the box office would be guaranteed to have a minimum.
This is also why people in the industry like to use online traffic; die-hard fans are really willing to spend money.
Yu Jianghang, Ning Yi, and others came over to greet him one by one, and Lu Qingfeng responded with a smile.
The male and female leads are second-tier in their respective industries, and they fit the characters in the book quite well in many ways.
Speaking of which, when this book was being adapted, Wei Ze asked him who he would recommend for the female lead, and he recommended an actress he had met at the Beijing Film Academy when he first started school.
I've already forgotten the name.
