Chapter 3: .Merry Christmas

third chapter
"Why is this person as persistent as Xu Qing?" Yan Xi vomited.
Xie Ning leaned over curiously and pointed to the line on the disc: "Isn't the director behind an English name?"
"Max. Right." Yan Xi explained, "This is Zhuang Yan's English name."
Xie Ning was surprised: "Really?"
Yan Xi snorted: "Of course, Zhuangyan University is studying in the Directing Department of the Media Branch. After studying abroad, he has been in the entertainment industry abroad. I heard that he is still a new director. Max is his English name. It's too arrogant to listen."
Xie Ning tilted her head and asked, "Have you checked Zhuang Yan?"
Yan Xi froze for a moment: "What?"
Xie Ning said slowly: "How do you know so clearly?" He even knew her English name.
"What am I doing to check him?" Yan Xi met Xie Ning's curious gaze, and suddenly felt inexplicable, "What is he worthy of my checking! And I check this information?!"
Xie Ning didn't speak and put the disc away.
Yan Xi followed him and murmured: "It's not because of you and me that I pay attention to him, but I really don't need to check these things, they are all spread around!"
Xie Ning asked: "What to pass on?"
Yan Xi hesitated to speak but stopped: "..."
Xie Ning: "?"
"Oh... forget it!" Yan Xi sighed, "Everyone is gossiping about your breakup with Xu Qing."
Xie Ning remembered the recent calls and nodded: "I know."
Yan Xi said: "It’s a coincidence that Zhuang Yan has returned to China again. Two things that were originally unrelated were somehow linked by them and passed around, saying that you and Xu Qing broke up because of Zhuang Yan, Xu Qing couldn't let him go, so he broke up with you."
"Fart! It's Xu Qing that you obviously dumped!" He was angry as he said, "I'll explain to you that they don't believe it, but discuss that Zhuang Yan! A bunch of idiots!"
They are classmates and friends, but in essence they are also a very exclusive circle of wealthy children. They are not in their eyes because of their family background.
Although Yan Xi's background is considered wealthy, it is the difference between heaven and earth compared to a wealthy family. He, who started from scratch, would not be easily accepted if it were not for Xie Ning.
Even so, some secretly mocked that he was Xie Ning's attendant, and would only follow Xie Ning's fart.
If it weren't for Xie Ning's uneasy feeling, Yan Xi wouldn't look down on this group of business and didn't do much, and would eat, drink and have fun.
Of course, there are also elite children, and a few have played well with Yan Xi, and helped him a lot in his early years when he started his own business.
After hearing this long string of words, Xie Ning responded: "Oh."
Oh what, Yan Xi felt that she was almost mad: "Are you not going to clarify to them?!"
Xie Ning said: "It's too much trouble, what do they like to say."
Seeing Yan Xi's unkind eyes, he added: "Irritation."
Yan Xi was speechless.
"Master, can't you stop being so innocent and being a little popular?"
"But." Xie Ning said aggrieved. "There are so many people, I explain the past one by one, it is really tired."
Yan Xi had nothing to say.
Finally, he rubbed Xie Ning's hair fiercely and felt the soft touch before reluctantly suppressing the anger in his heart.
Xie Ning turned off the projector and searched the director of "Monologue" on his mobile phone.
Just like Yan Xi said, Max, the director of "Monologue", is indeed a Chinese. His Chinese name is Zhuang Yan, and his resume is very gorgeous, and he is in harmony with the Zhuang Yan mentioned by Xu Qing in his impression.
This movie is not well-known on the Internet, but it has caused a lot of trouble within the entertainment industry.
After all, he is a Chinese director whose work can be selected for the Cannes Film Festival.
After Zhuang Yan returned to China, he was very low-key. Xie Ning simply searched a few times, but did not find his photos, but found his Weibo.
Xie Ning made a concern.
Yan Xi watched the whole process: "???"
"Why are you following him?"
Xie Ning said: "His film was made very well."
Yan Xi remembered the art with beautiful pictures and plain plot, and once again felt the huge difference in aesthetics between himself and his friends.
"Forget it, you just have to be happy."
Xie Ning found that he had gained a lot of followers on Weibo last time in a century.
The Christmas poster he painted before was published on the Internet. The style of painting is loved by many people, and some people have dug up his Weibo.
Xie Ning is not good at socializing, and he rarely manages these social platforms. This Weibo was applied for by Xu Qing. In the past, some of his copying works were posted. Later, the last time was only a few months, and it was slowly abandoned. Fans The number is pitiful.
Painting is a rare hobby of Xie Ning. He has no desires and desires. After learning that he is obsessed with painting, his family was ecstatic. Not only did not stop him, but contacted many masters for guidance.
Xie Ning is talented and passionate. He has learned all kinds of paintings. Later, when he came into contact with the digital tablet, he devoted himself to it.
Yanxi's game company started to do end games, but the end game market is sluggish and the company is half dead.
Fortunately, Yan Xi has a keen eye and quickly invested in the mobile game market. A well-known development game "Mobile Lovers" is all the rage and has a place in the big cake of the mobile game market.
Xie Ning is the original artist of this game.
30% of the success of "Mobile Lovers" relies on business and 70% on its exquisite painting style. Whether it is the original paintings of the scenes or the characters, including the subsequent release of various costumes, they are deeply loved by the public.
Xie Ning quickly gained a reputation in the game original art industry.
Later, the well-known game company Feifan invited Xie Ning to participate in the original painting design of the new project "Shan Hai Ji".
"Shan Hai Ji" is a large-scale card drawing mobile game with the monsters in the Shan Hai Jing as the background. There are hundreds of card characters. Xie Ning only helped them design a few scenes and characters.
The game was officially tested in June of this year, and it exploded at an unimaginable speed. It has become a phenomenon-level mobile game. However, all young people who love to play games must download this game on their mobile phones.
Among them, the SSR card brave designed by Xie Ning has become the most popular game character, whether it is a prototype or a unique design after anthropomorphism, players will love it.
There are even a lot of fan art about Pi Xiu on the Internet. Thanks to the popularity of the game, many fan art artists have attracted a lot of fans for themselves.
Xie Ning, as the original painter, has always been very low-key. Except those in the industry, no one knows that he is the designer of Pai Yao.
Xie Ning’s previous draft was the Christmas poster of "Shan Hai Ji".
In the beginning, he was not the artist whom the poster was asked for. Later, there was probably a dispute. Feifan Games went to find Xie Ning, because the time was too urgent and he doubled the contribution fee.
Xie Ning stayed up all night for this poster, and the final result was not only satisfied with Party A, but the players also liked it very much
Less than a day after the poster was published on the official Weibo, the number of comments underneath has exceeded 10,000, and it continues to grow.
Xie Ning doesn't care about the number of fans, but he is very happy that his work is liked.
In addition to "The Monologue", Xie Ning also has Max and two other movies of Zhuang Yan. Zhuang Yan has made many movies abroad. "The Monologue" is the most famous, and there are several Xie Ning not in China. Bought.
But when he saw Yan Xi's lack of interest, he arranged the remaining discs on the shelf.
On a winter night, the wind was terribly strong, and it blew like a knife.
Xie Ning sent Yan Xi to the garage, listening to the rushing wind, hesitating: "It's so late, or you can spend the night here tonight."
"Farewell. You have to drive an hour's drive to our company. I don't want to get up early in the winter. That would kill me."
"Then go later," Xie Ning said. "The boss is late and doesn't deduct wages."
Yan Xiyi said: "I want to lead by example!"
Xie Ning looked at him suspiciously.
"Okay, okay." Yan Xi raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender. "There will be an important meeting tomorrow morning, and the shareholders will be mumbling to death when they are late."
Xie Ning: "Then pay attention to safety on your way."
Yan Xi walked to the rear of the car and suddenly took a stuffed bear out of the trunk, holding it about the same height as Xie Ning, and didn't know how he stuffed it into the trunk to prevent Xie Ning from discovering it.
"Give you."
Xie Ning held the stuffed bear blankly: "What's this?"
"Christmas gift plus housewarming gift." Yan Xi said, "You can hug and sleep at night, and it will be warm."
Xie Ning: "I don't have the habit of holding things when I sleep."
Yan Xi said, "Then put on the bed as a decoration. I don't think you like these plush toys. This time I moved a few small dolls."
Xie Ning was taken aback for a moment, and remembered the man that day: "The claw machine caught it."
Yan Xi said again, "So is the rabbit on the bedside? I think that one is quite cute and looks like you."
Xie Ning was said this for the second time, and he hesitated: "Really like?"
Yan Xi smiled suddenly: "A rabbit will bite people in a hurry, so how come you can't learn to bite people."
"……roll."
"Then I really rolled." Yan Xi got into the car and opened the window, "Merry Christmas."
Xie Ning waved at him: "Merry Christmas."
The lakeside villa is well-equipped with security facilities and the environment is good. People who come in and out are full of faces, but living alone seems a bit empty and lonely.
Xie Ning didn't feel lonely, it was quite clean here, and no one disturbed him. He took the opportunity to sort out his inspiration and thoughts.
After watching Zhuang Yan's movies one by one in the past two days, he suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling for this director.
Several movies have their own merits, but the design of the pictures perfectly fits his hobbies. Xie Ning has paid attention to the staff table, and the main beauty is not the same person.
This is Zhuang Yan's unique style.
Xie Ning thought, it seems that he and Zhuang Yan's aesthetics are quite similar.
The most outstanding of these films is "Monologue".
Xie Ning watched it several times repeatedly, and he was so familiar with several classic scenes that he would dream of it at night.
When Yan Xi took the time to come to check on the survival of his friend, Xie Ning was drawing a draft, and after he put the person in, he directly let him go to the living room to watch TV.
When he is inspired, he is usually immersed in his own world, and he may not be able to hear his name when he reaches his ears. Yan Xi knows his problem, and he goes to the living room happily and then goes back to the studio to see his drafts. .
Xie Ning's studio is very large. A long table divides the space into two sides. On one side are painting tools and a dazzling collection of bookshelves. Several drawing boards stand on the ground.
The other side is relatively tidy, with a large blackboard on the wall and grids on the side of the blackboard, and various drawings and materials are clamped with clips.
Inside the long table are a notebook, a pen tablet and two widescreen monitors at the back, and a monitor is embedded in the wall.
The outside of the table was a little messy. Various papers and pens were scattered on the table. Xie Ning sat in a chair, lowered his head to draw on a piece of paper.
Yan Xi looked down, and the picture on the paper looked like a draft of a scene.
"Is this the original painting of the newly designed game?" Yan Xi asked when he put his pen.
"No." Xie Ning shook his head. "Draw anything."
After a pause, he didn't say a word, this draft is not the original game painting, but the original movie painting.
"I want to take a break for the two days, so I won't receive the paper for now," Xie Ning said.
Yan Xi nodded: "You should take a good rest. You had to stay up late when you rushed for the draft. There are many cases of sudden death online. Don't worry about it. This kind of urgent draft will be given next time and you won't be short of money. ."
Xie Ning said: "The master of "Shan Hai Ji" directly approached me. I had a good relationship with him when I worked with him before. Seeing that he is in a hurry, I will help him."
"The Christmas poster of "Shan Hai Ji"? It turns out that you drove this one." Yan Xi frowned, and suddenly remembered one thing, "It does have your style, but the poster seems to be torn up in the past two days."
Xie Ning was stunned: "Tear it up?"
Yan Xi nodded and integrated the information from the previous gossip: "It seems that "Shan Hai Ji" first asked another original artist to draw this poster, but the final draft failed. This original artist has a lot of fans. Pinch under the poster."
Xie Ning thought for a while and asked: "No draft?"
Yan Xi said, "I don't know."
Xie Ning asked again: "Have you signed the contract?"
Yan Xi said, "I don't know."
Xie Ning: "Have you paid for the contribution?"
Yan Xi still said, "I don't know."
"..." Xie Ning was silent for a few seconds, "Then what do you know?"
Yan Xi: "I'm not a painter or Feifan Game. How do I know this?"
Xie Ning: "Oh, then I won't ask."
No matter how you look at it, it was a dispute between Extraordinary Game and the painter, even if it became a trouble.
What does it matter to him?
Xie Ning got up and put away the manuscripts scattered on the table, folded them together, and finally set his eyes on the top draft.
He paused for a moment with his fingertips, and suddenly said, "Yan Xi, I want to paint the original film and television."
