The Creator of the Second Dimension

"As you can see, here are all the people in our Fantastic Animation."

Xu Rui said in the meeting room on the second floor where the phantom animation had been cleaned.

Fantastic Animation currently has nine people.

Apart from Xu Rui himself and Yi Qianqian, there were five old employees of Fantastic Animation and two newcomers.

"I'm Xu Rui. I'm currently the person in charge of the company. In the future, I will mainly be responsible for the supervision and script work in the animation production, as well as part-time performances. This is Yi Qianqian, the original artist."

He pointed to Yi Qianqian, who was wearing a wine red dress and a long dress.

"This is also the original artist Guo Weiren, this is Yan Zhe who is in charge of photography and special effects, Yao Jiajie who is in charge of coloring, Cheng Ke as the producer, and An Yuan who is also the original artist."

These few are all old employees of Fantastic Animation, of which Guo Weiren is the oldest, and Fantastic is the first animation company he joined. Yan Zhe and An Yuan joined Fantastic Animation three years after its establishment, Yao Jiajie and Cheng Ke I only joined four years before Xu Rui's father passed away, and I have been in Huandian for eight years.

"As for this side, there are two new colleagues who joined Magic Electric, the animator Tao Ran who has three years of work experience in Mushroom Pictures, and the animation and 3D producer Deng Shixin who previously worked in Tomato."

Xu Rui pointed to the other side. These two people have passed the interview in the past few days, and they belong to the immediate combat force with certain experience in the industry.

".Afterwards, we got to know each other better at work. Starting today, Fantastic Animation will be formally established."

Xu Rui explained the company's daily system and said in a nutshell.

"I have a question, Mr. Xu."

Animator Tao Ran adjusted his glasses, raised his hand and said.

"During the interview, I remember you said that there are only two people in Magic Electric. Why are there so many people suddenly?"

He was more straightforward and asked directly.

"This is because"

"You are a fraud!"

Before Xu Rui had time to explain, Tao Ran stood up and said indignantly.

"If I had known earlier, I would have known earlier."

With a turn of his head, he immediately leaned in front of Guo Weiren.

"If I had known that Mr. Guo, you were in the phantom, I wouldn't have to worry about whether I would leave my job overnight. Ah, I also missed the latest episode of "Ningjiang Zombie 2", which was spoiled by people in other groups!"

".Um?"

Guo Weiren was a little confused, and subconsciously took a step back.

"Teacher Guo Weiren, I am your loyal fan. It is because I watched "Sky Warrior" and "Spaceman Shadow" that I decided to join the industry."

So it's fans meeting their idols?

Xu Rui wiped off his sweat, then pulled Tao Ran away.

"You can communicate with Mr. Guo slowly later, let's explain the next work tasks first."

While talking, Xu Rui took out several documents and handed them to the people present.

"First of all, there are a few animated advertisements, such as the advertisement promotion of A Club's cram school, and an advertisement promotion of Ningjiang Subway. These advertisements are the content of our work throughout July."

Due to the development of the animation industry in Ningjiang, companies in Ningjiang also prefer to use animation for promotion. After establishing the company, Xu Rui relied on his fame, contacts, and attractive planning to win these jobs. here.

Since they are all short animations of a few minutes, a small personal studio can also undertake them. To be honest, the construction period of one month is actually very generous.

Relying on these funds, Magic Electric can at least complete the turnover in the first few months. As for what to do next, it depends on the response of the first animation produced by Magic Electric.

"As for the future work, thanks to our producer Cheng Ke, I made an appointment with a partner this afternoon. I will inform you of the specific results."

He said, clapped his hands, looked at Tao Ran who had calmed down a little, and signaled to start working.

A few people didn't say much, they are all people who have worked in the industry for so many years, so they naturally know the focus of the work of Fantastic Animation. No one thinks that with the current strength of Fantastic Animation, they can produce an original animation by themselves. Short stories such as advertisements with low cost and fast turnover are most suitable.

It's just that after everyone got up and left, and returned to their workstations, Xu Rui looked at the project proposal that he hadn't shown just now.

The words ""Soul Eater" animation plan" are written on it.

In Xinjiekou, Ningjiang City, there is a signboard of New Frontline and a logo of a pirate head hanging on a high-rise building. This is where the editorial office of the weekly Youth Frontline is located.

New Frontline, also known as New Frontline Media, is one of the largest comic publishing houses in China. Its most famous is "Weekly Youth Frontline". "Weekly Twenty-Four Frames" is also known as the Big Three of Chinese juvenile comics.

In addition to "Youth Frontline Weekly", New Frontier Media also has "Youth Frontline Monthly" for young people and "Margaret", a comic magazine for women, covering most of the readership. The elimination system at the end, therefore, the authors here work extremely hard, for fear that their works will be cut in half.

The editorial department of "Monthly Youth Frontline" is on the sixteenth floor. In a meeting room, a man and a woman face each other.

"I've already seen the storyboard, and there's no major problem. In addition, Mr. A Chuang, although I have already said it in the email, I still have to repeat it to you here. The animation work of "Soul Eater" is currently in progress. is suspended."

The woman was wearing a suit jacket and a short skirt, and she looked very young. The upturned hair on her short hair showed her panic when going out. She hesitated for a while, trying to suppress her emotions as much as possible.

"I, I understand."

The man opposite her was about late twenties, with unshaven beard and messy hair, wearing a black T-shirt, holding two callused hands in front of him, quite disturbed.

"Mr. A Chuang, please be sure to keep serializing normally, and don't affect your creation because of this matter."

"I know, editor Xueluo."

The man called Mr. A Chuang is a cartoonist. He used to be the assistant of Mr. Kishibe, the author of the famous manga "The Bandit King". The third position debuted, and this year is the second year of serialization.

The young woman sitting opposite him is his editor in charge. The editor's name is Xueluo, and her real name is Li Ruoxuan. Self-cultivation, it may take half a year for Li Ruoxuan to get in touch with the author.

"To be honest, the editorial department is also very surprised by this incident. We will do our best to find a suitable animation company to adapt "Soul Eater". Please rest assured, Mr. A Chuang."

Li Ruoxuan said that she had just taken office, so she didn't have time to familiarize herself with many things, and she happened to encounter the accident that the animation of "Soul Eater" was stranded, which made her very anxious during this period.

"Monthly Youth Frontline" once promised that as long as it is an award-winning work, it can be animated. At this time, the animations of the other works have either been broadcast or are being produced. Only "Soul Eater" has problems. .

Originally, everything was normal, but because of problems such as capital turnover and internal conflicts, the mild animation that was commissioned to be produced closed down after the planning proposal and animation news had already been announced. No animation company was willing to take over such a start-up animation The solution has led to the current predicament.

If "Soul Eater" was a popular comic, it would be easy to say, most companies would beg to produce it, but "Soul Eater" is currently ranked 20th among the 36 works serialized in "Monthly Teenage Frontline", four volumes of comics The total sales volume is less than one million, so it can only be said to be a mediocre work.

It was such a situation that led to the current situation of being unable to advance or retreat. Li Ruoxuan relied on her meager contacts to contact everywhere, hoping to find a company to take over the offer, but unfortunately, no one responded.

Just when the two of them finished communicating and Teacher A Chuang packed up his storyboard and was about to leave, Li Ruoxuan's phone rang.

"Hi, hello. Yes, I am, umm. Huh? Yes, I am here, huh? Is it really okay?"

Li Ruoxuan's expression changed from surprise at the beginning to bewilderment, and then became excited. She ended the conversation, clenched her fists with both hands, jumped a little excitedly, and then said to the bewildered teacher A Chuang.

"Mr. A Chuang, there is an animation company willing to take over the animation project of "Soul Eater"!"
