The Creator of the Second Dimension

"Music Girl" only aired one episode, and it quickly became the focus of discussion in the Chinese animation circle.

On the Hatsune Video website alone, the hits of the first episode exceeded two million in one day, and reached five million before the second episode aired.

Dynamic pictures of various animation clips were spread to Weibo and forums, chat groups, and emoticons of the protagonist Xiao Wei and others were also released quickly. These cute emoticons expanded the influence of the work and made the work even more famous.

Among them, many people were not interested in "Music Girl" at first, because first of all, it is an adaptation of a four-panel manga, and the content has been revealed. In the industry, most of the adaptations are advertisements for the original work. Rarely does it go beyond the original, so this adaptation lowers expectations a little.

The other is the daily category, and there are not many campus stories without male protagonists in the Chinese animation circle. In fact, even in "Soul Eater: Zero" back then, everyone's feelings for the two heroines were more inclined to sisters. Magical Girl Madoka Magica, the experience of several magical girls was too miserable, and no one explored their feelings. The relationship between Homura and Madoka, as the title of the animation single episode said, is "the best friend".

Anime fans in China haven’t fully realized the existence of the attribute of “Lily”. Of course, “Music Girl” is not a hardcore Lily animation. Animation without a male protagonist is also novel in the animation circle dominated by male audiences.

For example, before the broadcast of "Music Girl", many viewers subconsciously thought that it was an adaptation of a shoujo manga and ignored it. It was not until they saw the emoticons and dynamic pictures that they suddenly realized, eh, it seems that this animation is quite good. interesting?

In the animation section of the A2 forum, under the animation section of "Music Girl", there were more than ten pages of replies in no time.

[Burning Fear]: What exactly does this animation want to talk about? Is it just a simple campus life? I feel that everyone's actions are very confusing. Although I am a high school student, I look no different from an elementary school student. I really feel disgusted by deliberately pretending to be cute. I am not the only one who feels this way, right?

[yefeng56]: Upstairs, sorry, you are the only one, you are electricity and you are light, you are the only myth.

[Erythromycin Ointment]: I think this animation is very relaxing to watch. You don’t need to think about other things. It’s very interesting to watch a few girls interacting together.

[Overload and high voltage]: Second, Xiao Wei is so cute, I can spend a day just looking at her!

[Tram 007]: Before I watched it, I thought how could an animation that didn’t even have a boy be good-looking, but after watching it, I felt that a real man should watch "Music Girl". This is a real macho animation!

[Big Stuffed Wontons]: That's right, what kind of battle animations are only for motherfuckers, and pure men should watch "Music Girl"!

Xu Rui looked at these comments on the Internet and smiled knowingly.

He raised his head, looked at the time, then called Yi Qianqian and other members of the original painting team to the Hatsune studio next door.

There are four people in the recording studio, just like "Music Girl", guitar, bass, drums, and keyboards each occupy the same place. They are band members of the music club of Ningjiang University, and they were invited to assist in the production of the fantasy animation. The clothes on her body are also provided by Hatsune Studio, which is exactly the same as the school uniform in "Music Girl".

Dozens of original artists and several cameras surrounded them, making these college students a little shy.

But soon, they adjusted their mentality and started playing.

During the performance, the camera recorded the band's performance from various angles, including the movement of fingers, the expressions of each person, the movement of musical instruments, etc., while the original artists carefully observed all this.

The band played four pieces, and the whole process lasted for an hour. After the performance, they also accepted some inquiries from the original artists, including the principles of some professional technical movements, the skills of playing methods, etc., as if they were about to learn how to play playing in general.

For Xu Rui, this is a necessary homework, because the original painters are not professional musicians, and even most of them don't know how to play these musical instruments. If you paint purely by your own imagination, some common sense will inevitably appear. Sexual mistakes, which affect the perception of audiences who understand this aspect of knowledge.

Therefore, Xu Rui invited a real band, so that the original painters can get in touch with these instruments and performers, so as to deepen their understanding of the performance picture.

For newcomer original artist Lin Shuyi, this is also a wonderful experience. She is not responsible for the original paintings of the performances, and these pictures are all drawn by experienced old original artists.

But in the daily life of girls, they will also come into contact with musical instruments, and similar scenes will appear. Therefore, Lin Shuyi also watched this performance.

"...It turns out that these things are not decorations, but things for adjusting guitar strings..."

A girl next to her said, with an expression of sudden realization, this girl is called Wu Hongyan, and she is a newcomer original artist who just joined the fantasy animation this year. She also graduated from the fantasy animation. After the two offers of animation, I finally chose the magic animation under the trade-off.

Since the animation animation has become famous in the industry, Rainbow Media has no way to maintain its original aloof attitude and does not accept undergraduate fresh graduates, because it is easier for animation animation to recruit undergraduates, and it is easier to recruit talented painters. As an animation major, studying for a master's degree will not improve your skills, so it is better to spend the same amount of time in the industry. Therefore, the bosses of Rainbow Media think that the recent trough of Rainbow Media is also related to the problem of recruiting newcomers, so they lowered their recruitment threshold.

As for Tomato Manufacturing, it has long been no longer the first choice of graduates. Now, only students who have no way to enter the fantasy animation will consider applying for Tomato Manufacturing. fees, subsidies, etc.

But even so, more people choose to come to Fantastic Anime. On the one hand, the subtle influence of the Hatsune Video Network over the past few years has caused these students who spent their college life watching the barrage to naturally be attracted to Fantastic Anime and Hatsune On the other hand, Xu Rui has blossomed in the fields of animation and games, which also makes graduates feel that if they enter fantasy animation, they may be able to get in touch with jobs in other related fields in the future. If you enter Tomato Manufacturing or Rainbow Media, it seems that you have to be an animator for the rest of your life, and it is clear at a glance which one is better than the other.

Seeing Wu Hongyan's ignorant appearance, Lin Shuyi felt a little moved.

She was like this a year ago.
