" The two also found Qian Jiajun, then the chief technician of Meiying Factory, to study together. At the 1960 China Art Film Exhibition, Chen Yi, then Vice Premier of the State Council, said after listening to the report, "It would be better if Qi Baishi's paintings could be removed."

After the news was sent back to the film studio, they started the ink animation experiment. The first experimental scene is "a frog jumps off a lotus leaf". In this way, after exploring the basic method, a larger-scale experiment began. All the original animators in the factory began to make frogs, fish, shrimps, horses and other clips.

Three months later, the "Ink Animation Experiment" was completed, and dozens of seconds of fragments describing different animals formed a short film. According to the results of the experiment and the needs of shooting, the creative team of Meiying Factory added six or seven links to enrich the plot on the basis of the original three or four story links, and added colorful goldfish images.
