The Creator of the Second Dimension

Before entering April, there are two things that are more concerned about the animation industry.

The first is Rainbow Media. The "City of Giants" directed by Wu Yi has successfully concluded. This animation tells the struggle between humans and giants. The paintings are exquisite, and the battles make people excited. Resonance, as of April, the average sales volume of this animation is 43,000, and it is still on an upward trend, and it is expected to reach 50,000.

The second is the end of the second season of "The Boundary on the Horizon" of the fantasy animation. This refreshing and relaxing animation maintains the quality of the first season. The average sales volume of 38,000 is still outstanding.

And in April, the new animation was broadcast, a hundred flowers bloomed, and the nerds got new wives one after another.

"Pure White Narcissus" before iCraft Animation created a record low of 458 copies per volume. Although this is not the lowest record of animation sales, it is still so low under such a strong publicity of iCraft Animation, which is really rare, even not only It is the production team of Wenzhi Brocade, and even the other production teams of Ai Craft Animation have been affected. For example, the sports animation "Genius Badminton Girl" broadcast in April was not favored.

After Rainbow Media gained a lot of praise for "City of Giants", April's animation is an adaptation of the novel "World of Swords and Swords 2". Since the first season received a good response from the audience, Rainbow Media immediately began to produce the second animation. There are two seasons, and I have the idea of ​​continuing to make it.

Mushroom Pictures has no new animations in April, but their animation "Minority Measurement" in April last year performed well. In October last year, they announced the production of a theatrical version of the film, which is scheduled for May 1st.

Several other animation companies also have their own works.

What excited the fans of the fantasy animation most was the news of the theatrical version of "Magic Girl Madoka".

At the beginning of the Spring Festival, Fantastic Animation released a promotion that the movie "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" will be released during May Day, which has become the most anticipated thing for fans of "Magic Girl Madoka Magica".

Throughout April, Hatsune Video Network has been pre-heating the promotion of "Magic Girl Madoka Magica", and released trailers from various perspectives, including the activities of voice actors. The plot of the twelve episodes has been re-edited, and two theatrical versions of the main episodes have been produced, which can be watched on the Hatsune Video website for a fee.

The broadcast volume of these two general episodes alone has exceeded five million, which is enough to witness the enthusiasm of the audience.

Of course, Xu Rui did not let go of these opportunities to make money. After the Spring Festival, along with the ticket sales for the Hatsune Miku Birthday Thanks Concert, the shopping area of ​​Hatsune Video Network also had a certain amount of traffic. In this division, starting from April, many " The surroundings of Magical Girl Madoka Magica include the glasses frames of the characters in color, to towels, file folders, and the Blu-ray box that includes the two main volumes and some special bonuses.

In addition, with the release of the movie, the linkage between "Blood Source: Curse" and "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" is about to begin.

April is also a tense month for students. Leaving aside senior high school students, high school sophomores like Han Qingwen quickly felt the pressure of the college entrance examination.

Recently, he basically doesn't have much time for liver games. Every day, that is, patrolling the island to complete some daily refresh books, he closes the webpage and seriously reviews.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Han Qingwen had just finished writing a set of questions, stretched himself, and was about to wash up and rest, when his phone vibrated.

Opened QQ and found that it was Li Xue's message.

[Li Xue]: Phew, I just finished last year's math paper, it was really difficult.

[Han Qingwen]: Ah, I wrote that too, it was quite difficult.

The two chatted for a few minutes like this. For Han Qingwen, the fatigue of the day dissipated like this. The time spent chatting with Li Xue was more useful than any panacea.

[Han Qingwen]: By the way, May Day Magical Girl Madoka's movie is coming up, do you have time to watch it together?

After hesitating for a while, Han Qingwen continued to type like this. Recently, the school started weekend tutoring, so he basically had no chance to go out with Li Xue again. In addition, he had to go to an art training class, so the time was even tighter.

[Li Xue]: On May 1st, it’s okay, um, let’s go together, I’ll book the tickets.

On the other side of the phone, Li Xue was a little excited. She didn't expect Han Qingwen to take the initiative. Since the beginning of school, Han Qingwen seems to have become very busy on weekends. Except for the carnival on the video network, the two of them never went out together, and they couldn't talk at school for one reason or another, which made Li Xue a little disappointed.

Originally, she also planned to find this reason to ask Han Qingwen to go out, but she was afraid of disturbing the other party's review, so she kept silent. Originally, she came to Han Qingwen now to find an opportunity to talk about it, but she didn't expect the other party to be one step earlier I spoke.

The two chatted about the animation again before Han Qingwen urged Li Xue to go to bed early. She still went to bed on time at eleven o'clock, and it was already half past ten.

After saying goodnight to each other, Han Qingwen went to wash up, dry his hair, return to his room, prepare the materials for tomorrow's class, and then took out the drawing board on the side.

The art student examination is half a year earlier than the college entrance examination, and it will be held at the end of this year, so he has to hurry up to study his own art.

After practicing for a while, Han Qingwen's phone vibrated again, it was a message from Li Xue.

[Li Xue]: I still can't sleep. Seeing the seniors and sisters in the third year of high school work so hard, I feel that I am too lazy. What should I do if I fail the college entrance examination.

Han Qingwen looked at Li Xue's writing, and he knew that although she was a top student, she also had her own pressure and worries. She might not have talked about these things with others, but she sought comfort from Han Qingwen, which made him a little nervous. Complicated feelings.

[Han Qingwen]: Don't worry about these things that haven't happened yet, we can do the best we can.

Han Qingwen replied, and he and Li Xue encouraged each other a few more words before the other party fell asleep with peace of mind.

And Han Qingwen was still working hard under the lamp.

On the second floor of the fantasy animation, Xu Rui is sitting in front of the computer. The production of the theatrical version of "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" has already been completed, and the new animation has not yet been undertaken. Now the whole company is mainly engaged in the production and final correction of the special video of the theatrical version CD Work, a little leisurely.

But Xu Rui is not idle, not to mention that some major operation plans of "Bloodborne: Curse" need him to make decisions, and the various publicity operations of Chuyin Video Network are also inseparable from him. Xu Rui basically works every day They are all full, and there is no chance to catch fish.

Fortunately, there are reliable people in each branch to help Xu Rui manage, and he doesn't have to worry about everything. Now, the three buildings of Fantastic Animation, Hatsune Video Network, and Hatsune Games are already full, and after that, Xu Rui even came up with the idea of ​​buying another building in the park to house some departments.

Now, on his computer screen, a rough storyboard is displayed.

This is what he started drawing in March, and it is going to be used as the script for the next original animation of Fantastic Animation.

On the cover of the script, the words "Classical Literature Society Series" are written.
