The entire theater was silent, or rather, only the sound of the judges' breathing could be heard.
"Dear colleagues, you can all express your opinions now!" Director He also recovered from his shock and coughed.
"Let's watch the next episode first!"
"Let's watch the next episode first!"
"That's right, we can't express our opinions without watching everything!" In the end, all the expert judges unanimously requested for the next episode to be played immediately. Director He had no choice but to order the projectionist to continue playing it.
In the end, it played for nearly four hours, from 4 pm to 8 pm. When the tenth episode ended, Director He helplessly said that it was all the manuscripts sent over by the production company. Only then did the judges give up on their request to watch the next episode. At the same time, they officially began the review and discussion stage.
"I have no objections. This is definitely the best animation produced in recent years … No, it can even be said that it's the best animation produced since the founding of the country. It's really hard to believe that this is an animation produced by Hua Xia. To think that an animation can reach such a level of depth and production standards. I think it should be broadcasted!" Immediately, a judge stood out and expressed his opinion.
"That's right. I think this animation, whether it's the production standards, the core ideas, or the transmission of our traditional classic, Water Margin, it far surpasses those Fusang animations and those Athena animations. This animation will definitely save our children from the cultural invasion of other countries and make them fall in love with our country's traditional culture!" Another judge stood out and supported.
"I have no objections to what Old Wang and Old Xu said. I also agree with what they said, but there are still some problems. That virtual reality combat system is too illogical. How can something as small as an arm guard project so lifelike? What about the heroes of Water Margin who can move and fight? I feel that this is too unscientific. Will it mislead the children? "a member of the jury said.
"I also agree with what Old Wang and Old Xu said, but I also feel that there are many problems in this. For example, the battle between heroes and fighting. Will this teach children the wrong things and make them passionate about fighting and brawling? That's a problem! "Another member of the jury raised an objection.
This question obviously received the support of more judges. They couldn't help but nod. Indeed, these fighting animations would harm children. If the children liked to fight and kill after watching them, then it would be over. They would become sinners.
"There's another crucial problem. This animation is actually meant to encourage children to play games. How can that work? Children's duty was to study. Cartoons should encourage children to study hard and study hard. How could they teach children to play? Wouldn't this destroy the children? I don't think this will work! "
Hearing the words of the judges, Dean He's head started to sweat.
From the looks of it, this animation would not be able to pass the review. Then, he would have to retire!
"Director He, can I say a few words?" Jia Yapeng, who had been listening from the side, couldn't help but ask Director He.
"Okay, no problem!" Director He nodded and said, "Everyone, the representative of the film company is here today. You can listen to what he has to say and brainstorm!"
"Okay!" The judges nodded. Jia Yapeng also got the opportunity to stand up and speak.
"Hello, esteemed judges. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak. Now, let me answer your questions!"
"I've just summarized. There are a total of three questions that you have. The first is that the future depicted in the animation is illogical. Indeed, it seems illogical. However, the animation is depicting something that will happen 30 years later. Teachers, please think about it. Could the ancients have imagined that a small box could play a realistic image of a person? An iron box can run quickly on the street. A two-legged rocket can fly thousands of kilometers and fight from one continent to another? "
"I think everything described in the animation is reasonable and full of sci-fi imagination. Maybe in the future 30 years later, VR technology, projection technology, all of these can really be realized. Can they really be realized?"
"Taking a step back, even if the future can't be realized, it can still stimulate children's imagination of science fiction. Their interests and future will be invested in the great cause of scientific research."
"More importantly, the animation depicts the future of our Hua Xia 30 years later. It's a future full of science and technology created by our Hua Xia through hard work. Do you think that our Hua Xia doesn't deserve such a future? If we can't reach such a level of science, are we, the great people, stupid? "
"We wouldn't dare … We wouldn't dare …" The judges were suddenly speechless. They didn't dare to have any objections on this point. Who would dare to deny the future of Hua Xia? Who would dare to deny the people? They didn't have the guts!
Jia Yapeng continued.
"As for the second point, I don't think it will teach children bad things because the battle depicted in the animation is actually not a fight, but a competition between two heroes. According to the settings of our game, these heroes are actually inspired by the children's desire for heroes. They won't really die when they come to this world. They're just going to the Lingyan Pavilion! "
"In fact, the game in the animation is not a fight that tests strength, but a game that tests children's intelligence. Children have to rely on their own intelligence to form different decks and familiarize themselves with the special skills of each hero. Then, they can rely on their own intelligence to win."
"This is a game that tests and improves children's intelligence. It's like Go and Chinese Chess. Go and Chinese Chess can eat each other's pieces. Does that mean that Go and Chinese Chess will teach children bad things about fighting?"
"Besides, everyone has seen the Saint Seiya of the Fusangpeople. That's a real fight. Our battles were just a few virtual images, but their battles were real. Many people were killed in the battle, and even the entire city was destroyed by the battle. This is what we should really criticize. It's content that teaches children bad things. "
"But this kind of content is openly shown in Hua Xia. It's broadcasted on almost every TV station. If our animation is banned because of a fight, does that mean that the Fusangpeople can fight, but we Hua Xia can't? We Hua Xia can only be beaten up by the Fusangpeople?"
"…" The judges broke out in cold sweat again. This was absolutely impossible. It was impossible. China could not be beaten up, and they could not be beaten up by the people of Japan.
"The last point is to encourage children to play games. Actually, as I said just now, this is a game that tests children's intelligence, just like Go and Chinese Chess. "
"Besides, it's in children's nature to have fun. If you don't let them play this, they'll play something else. Why don't you attract their attention to games like Go, chess, and animation, which can develop intelligence?"
"Most importantly, our animation includes the stories of all the heroes of the Water Margin. Watching our animation once is equivalent to watching the Water Margin once. This will be a huge help in increasing the number of people reading it!"
"Are we, the Huaxia people, the only ones who are allowed to learn Greek mythology and throw our own historical stories into the trash can?"
"Okay … Stop talking … If you keep talking, we'll become sinners of our country!" With Jia Yapeng's accusations, how could the judges withstand it? If any of these accusations were to be placed on their heads, their lives would be over.
"Everyone, please listen to me!" At this moment, Director He spoke as well. He glanced at all the judges and said calmly, "The higher-ups have attached great importance to this matter and strongly requested that the animation produced by China be able to save the children from the invasion of other people's culture. This is what the higher-ups want. Everyone, please consider it carefully! "
"Okay, I'll now announce the start of the voting. Those who agree to the" Water Margin Heroes "animation broadcast on our station, please raise your hand!"
There were a total of 15 judges in the entire conference room, and 15 of them raised their hands high.
The "Water Margin Heroes" animation passed the review with a unanimous vote.
[PS: Regarding the events of the 90s, at that time, the author was only a few years old and couldn't remember many things clearly. He could only rely on information to write some things. It's inevitable that there will be some mistakes and omissions, so please forgive him.
Also, this is not the real past, but a parallel world, so it's normal for some things to be wrong.
Also, Hua Xia's review in the 90s was much easier than it is now. I won't explain why, but it's the truth.]
