Interstellar entertainment desert? best producer shot

Ouyang Lan lay down in the holographic cabin three minutes before the start of the online awards ceremony.

The staff breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Ouyang Lan arrive, fearing that Ouyang Lan would be unable to be contacted again like before.

"Mr. Ouyang, please come this way." The staff member who received the arrangement from Song Zhixing took Ouyang Lan to the front seat.

At this time, the virtual hall of the award ceremony was almost full of people. The top 50 contestants were seated in the first five rows according to their rankings, and the audience and media reporters in the last dozen rows were seated.

The judges were sitting on the stage in the hall, ten in total.

It looks like the decoration for a high school graduation ceremony. Ouyang Lan looked around in surprise. Has this aspect of interstellar aesthetics stopped?

"It's so impressive... I heard that the organizers specially created the virtual space with reference to the ceremonial auditorium common in a large country on ancient Earth." The two contestants on the right were chatting in a low voice.

"No wonder, with such a unique decoration... I want my little Carl to save the data and use this material next time." Leerna nodded thoughtfully and reached out to touch the furry head in front of him.

Out of the corner of his eye, Ouyang Lan caught a glimpse of several players around him. All of them, without exception, were wearing AI. Although the AI ​​was infinitely close to the appearance of a normal person, its nature could still be easily seen through its stiff demeanor.

Ouyang Lan, who was sitting alone in the first place, looked out of place.

Leerna glanced at Ouyang Lan secretly several times. He had very unusual black hair and black eyes. When Ouyang Lan was hailed as a new production star, he also started a trend of dyeing his hair black.

The gaze of the blond young man next to him that he thought was casual was actually so intense that it was difficult to ignore.

Ouyang Lan turned sideways and looked at Renard during a sneak peek, with the corners of his lips raised.

Renard looked away guiltily, and then thought: That's not right, he didn't do anything bad. Why is he feeling guilty?

A burst of grand music sounded, and the host, who was wearing a similar suit but with new tricks, and looked a bit unconventional in Ouyang Lan's eyes, opened the show enthusiastically.

"Welcome... to participate in this award ceremony. Audiences watching the award ceremony in the live broadcast room can freely express their opinions and views. After the award ceremony, your questions will be answered by your favorite contestants during the random drawing session after the award ceremony... I announce! The award ceremony for the ZH-C Planet Animation Short Film Competition on December 12, 5 has officially begun!"

At the same time, viewers who did not get a spot to participate in the online awards ceremony left comments through the live broadcast room barrage.

"Give me a chance, I would like to ask Ouyang Lan, a former rising star in production, how he feels about being reduced to participating in a small planet-level animated short film competition?"

"Is there something wrong with the previous one? Do you look down on animation or planet-level competition? What are you?"

"I didn't expect that Ouyang Lan is still capable, but it's a pity that he insists on not using AI."

"Little Carl! Mom is here! Renard! Who do you want to be so handsome?"

"Reynard and Carl Jr. actually lost. It's hard not to suspect that there was no inside story."

"Is there an inside story? No one who has watched "The Little Prince" can say such stupid things."

……

The award ceremony was like a high school award ceremony for good students. First, the person in charge of the organizer made a heartfelt speech.

This was followed by a passionate speech from the judges’ representative, while looking forward to the bright future of the animation industry.

Finally, awards are given to the players.

The 50th to 30th place will receive a small silver medal and a bonus of 20,000 star coins each; the 30th to 10th place will receive a small gold medal and a bonus of 50,000 star coins each.

Starting from the top ten, the rewards have changed qualitatively. There is a silver trophy for the tenth to fourth place, and each person has a bonus of 100,000 star coins.

The third place winner who just talked to Renard received a large bronze trophy and a bonus of 200,000 star coins.

When the host called the names of Renard and Carl, Renard took a deep look at Ouyang Lan and led little Carl to the stage to receive the award.

The big silver trophy was heavy in his hand, just like Renard's mood.

Although his skills were inferior to others, he was inevitably a little depressed.

As for the bonus of 350,000 star coins, Renard casually handed it to Karl. He was pursuing his dream, not for money.

"...Finally! Let me warmly welcome the first place winner in this ZH-C Planet Animation Short Film Competition: Ouyang Lan!" The host waved his hand and the spotlight fell on Ouyang Lan.

The young man with black hair and black eyes walked onto the podium calmly with a decent smile on his face.

The rumors on StarNet didn't seem to bother him at all. He stood like a tall green bamboo and received the big golden trophy from the host in a gentle and polite manner.

When the host stepped back to make way for Ouyang Lan to deliver his acceptance speech, he took a deep breath.

At this moment, the soft light shone down, and his eyes seemed to have crushed stars, which were incredibly bright.

"I know many people have doubts about me taking first place. Maybe you will ask: 'Why is it not an AI producer who takes first place?', 'Why can I take first place without borrowing AI?', or you may ask me I am skeptical about creating "The Little Prince" without relying on AI." Ouyang Lan's beautiful lips raised:

"And what I want to say is that AI created by humans, even though they have complete data and rich materials...but they are always created by humans. Human beings themselves have infinite possibilities, and I, from this moment on, I will show everyone the infinite possibilities that only I have, thank you!”

Ouyang Lan bowed slightly to the audience and walked down the podium calmly.

The barrage in the live broadcast room has also reached an unprecedented explosive growth at this moment.

There are overwhelming doubts and ridicules, there are also a small number of supporters, and there are some who have a wait-and-see attitude...but none of this will affect Ouyang Lan in the slightest.

He just came to inform everyone, not to seek advice.

When it came to the random draw, after Ouyang Lan's acceptance speech, almost all the questions in the barrage were directed at him.

This resulted in a high probability of being asked a question to Ouyang Lan, which made the person in charge slightly adjust the value slightly with a guilty conscience.

Although it was gaining popularity and discussion, it was too hateful. He was really afraid that Ouyang Lan would say some "big words" and trigger an even more heated debate.

Didn't you see that the term 'Ouyang Lan - Infinite Possibilities' has become the tenth most searched term on the search engine of their planet's regional star network?

According to the current situation, I am afraid that the hot search will break into the top 100 of the Star Network. When those fanatical AI demons see it, I am afraid it will cause another Internet storm.

Fortunately, the worries of the person in charge did not occur. Thanks to the keyword restrictions of the lottery assistant, some issues that would cause conflicts and disputes were screened out, and the remaining ones drawn were relatively mild.

We are an animated short film contest! Ask a question about the animated short film! The person in charge thought a little nervously.

Ouyang Lanfeng's eyes were clear, and he read the question he was drawn in a leisurely manner: "Why do you want to make an animated short film? Because you are short of money."

The staff reminded: "Mr. Ouyang, please be specific!"

"Because I wanted to get the prize money from the animated short film competition, I spent all my savings to buy a hologram cabin, leaving only three bottles of nutrient solution." Ouyang Lan said honestly: "But I also like animation... I like TV series and movies, right? "What I love most is production. I feel very lucky that my work is seen and liked by others, and I feel an indescribable sense of happiness."

The young man's eyes were bright when he mentioned the production, and his handsome face made people happy to see it.

The criticism in the barrage suddenly became less intense.

A prominent barrage passed through: "He is just a young man with a dream. Why must we attack him? He just believes that human beings have more infinite possibilities. What is wrong with this?"

Yes, there is nothing wrong with pursuing your dreams upright.
