Nurturing creativity with the right tools is a more secure way for newcomers to grow.

誰也沒想到，一位小時候和媽媽玩“過家家”的 00 後創作者，現在竟然可以和累計票房 80 億 + 的院線導演相提並論了——他就是 B 站 UP 主小鐵片片片（下文簡稱小鐵片）。

Four years ago, Xiao Tie Pian, who was studying as an undergraduate, adapted Liu Cixin's novel "Full Band Blocking Interference" with the ARMA3 game editor (game "Armed Assault 0"), and then he uploaded the work to Station B, which instantly detonated the platform, and received a joint communication from a professional film and television company and Liu Cixin's related team.

目前，小鐵片在 B 站上發佈的《全頻帶阻塞干擾》合集總播放量將近 2000 萬。

Recently, the news that "Director Guan Hu will direct the movie version of "Full Band Blocking Interference" has leaked out, and many netizens spontaneously put this matter together with the name of Xiaotie Film.

This undoubtedly gave Xiao Tie a lot of encouragement, and he also directly felt the opportunities brought by "advanced creative tools" to newcomers.

In the tank formation, the soldiers calmly met the onslaught of artillery fire;

When the tragic atmosphere passes through the screen, conveying the unique emotional appeal of the IP, we can see the story interpretation ability, screenwriter's second creation ability and technical application ability of Xiaotie Film.

And the last point, of course, is the key to his ability to visualize. There are many excellent text creators, but if you want to stand out, "technical ability" is the "killer feature".

A few days ago, geek movie (ID: geekimovie) had an in-depth communication with Xiao Tie Film, asking him to share his personal growth experience, the creative process of his works and the experience of using tools.

During the chat, he often reveals a kind of nervousness and shyness unique to newcomer creators, and under this emotion, there is a rare sincerity and persistence.

Looking back on Xiao Tie Pian's growth process, from his interaction with his mother in his childhood, to his high school achievements as an artist, to being admitted to the film and television major, making his own works and appearing in school stage plays, the word he mentions the most is "fun", and it can be felt that he loves and enjoys creation itself from the bottom of his heart, and it is this trait that pushes his works out of the circle.

從“一人成軍”到“超級個體”，再到如今的“百人團隊”， 小鐵片的經歷很值得當下年輕創作者借鑒。

01 departures: players who enjoy telling stories while picking up gear

I first saw the story of "Full-Band Blocking Interference", and later learned that it was written by Liu Cixin.

The avatar of Xiao Tie Pian was inspired by a scattered iron plate he saw on the side of the road, and he didn't know which nerve this iron plate touched him, so he began to use "Xiao Tie Pian Pian" as his screen name.

2021 年 2 月，宅在宿舍的小鐵片突發奇想，決定要改編《全頻帶阻塞干擾》。

Coming from a military family and loving science fiction movies like Avatar, the story has a natural appeal to him, as if it was made for him.

At that time, he was in the second year of studying drama and literature in a college in Dalian, and he had some theoretical foundation for drama creation and experience in self-made works, coupled with the character of doing it when he had an idea, Xiao Tiepian quickly put into the state and started text creation.

However, due to the fact that the original work was too grand and limited by technology, many of the content he envisioned could not be filmed in the game at all, and he had to constantly subtract from the plot.

In this regard, he chose the method of "second creation", drawing on the world view of the original work, making an independent unit plot, and setting up new characters and story lines. This is a path for students who have no experience in large-scale film and television production, which is not easy to deviate from, but can also exercise their narrative ability.

As a result, the small iron piece began to be made with the game editor ARMA3.

在此之前，他曾用同樣的方式製作了其首部系列動畫《三天之內》，這部作品在首集發佈的第二天便播放量過萬，給當時粉絲數不到三十人的他帶來了極大的鼓勵。

In this way, Xiao Tiepian was able to record and edit the game more proficiently, and completed the first episode of "Full Band Blocking Interference" in less than five days. As a veteran CS (Counter-Strike) player, Iron Piece knows how to interpret the battle screens, which greatly enhances the finesse of the characters' movements.

Xiao Tie's father is a military worker, so the plot of the episode is inspired by his father. Due to the real background, it first aroused heated discussions among the majority of military fans and friends.

Through the detailed design and smooth lens scheduling, the work has given more non-military fans an excellent visual experience and gradually went out of the circle.

2021 年 7 月，《全頻帶阻塞干擾》第三集上線，作品的熱度登上了新高峰。 該集在 B 站播放量近 200 萬，評論多達 8000+ ，讓小鐵片體驗到了“火”的感覺。而這一條條留言直接給小鐵片打足了氣，讓他更加堅定自己的選擇。

I swiped my phone on the bus, and then I ate melons on my head, and I swiped a lot of people discussing "Full-Band Blocking Interference".

And I didn't expect that when I got on the account of station B, the comments showed 99+ every two minutes, and many of them were looking forward to the sequel, I was very happy.

What made him even more excited was that in 7 years and 0 months, Liu Cixin's relevant team discovered him through the platform and indirectly passed to him the recognition of Da Liu himself, which was a shocking gift package for a small iron piece created by just one person and gave him a lot of encouragement.

He is also more sure that as long as he polishes his work carefully, he will definitely be seen by those who are looking forward to it; Even short videos made with simple tools in the dormitory will be appreciated and rewarded.

時間來到 2024 年，隨著技術的不斷升級，小鐵片開始使用更高級的工具，他用虛幻引擎全流程製作了第十一集動畫，大幅提升了作品的水準。

△ From the eleventh episode of "The Last People's Navy", the small iron piece began to use UE

2025 年 3 月 8 日，小鐵片發佈了第十二集《接班人》，上線兩周就斬獲了近百萬播放量。時隔一年更新，畫面皮膚和光影製作更加細膩，鏡頭調度也更純熟了。

So far, from adapting IP plots, to independently producing and publishing works, to upgrading the quality of the narrative. Xiao Tie Pian ran through the whole production process alone, lit up the skill tree on the creative road, and laid a good foundation for him to build a team in the future.

Recalling this experience of trying to pick fruits, it is the strength to dare to think and dare to do, supporting the small iron piece to go farther and farther.

And his ability to act in his creations is also closely related to his love of exploration and overcoming difficulties, which can also be seen in his joy of playing games and researching game tools.

At the same time, he is very clear about his aspirations and is not swayed by external influences. Perhaps the opportunity will be reserved for people with a clear self-awareness and goals, and it won't be long before surprises come as promised.

02 Upgrades: From individual to assembly operations, start "Team Battles"

As the volume of my work became larger, I realized that if I wanted to do everything by myself, I would definitely lose my hair.

The love for stories runs through the life of Xiao Tie from childhood to adulthood.

As a child, he played role-playing games with his mother; In junior high school, he tinkered with the game editor alone and played "cyber play" as a villain; In high school, he participated in the drama and won the first place; Apply for university and aspire to apply for the choreography and directing major.

For more than ten years, "storytelling" has been a source of happiness that Xiao Tie is inseparable from.

In his opinion, he can act spontaneously in his creation, and feel simple and pure happiness.

After graduating from his bachelor's degree, Xiao Tie Pian gave up the olive branch thrown by his stable job and was admitted to Beijing Normal University, majoring in digital media, to further improve his ability.

In this process, based on the increase in attention, the creation of Xiao Tie has received more and more support, and he seems to have entered a new copy of the game and started a different way of playing.

The protagonist of the level has changed from fighting alone to leading the team forward.

先說音訊。最初的作品里，音訊都是小鐵片自己一點點上網搜索、整理後剪輯而來，後來有一些粉絲自願發揮所長幫他配音，發展到現在，他已組出一百多人的配音團隊。

There is also a fan who is a dubbing director himself, and he usually organizes everyone to practice his voice. They also made a small program to synchronize the division of labor in real time, and upload each audio track after it is completed, and someone will relay it later.
