The Creator of the Second Dimension

Of course, Xu Rui and Yi Qianqian's trip to Jingping was not just a wedding trip, they went to Jingping's palace for investigation, and according to Xu Rui's idea, they walked around the famous scenic spots in this historic city.

After the long vacation in October, after returning to Ningjiang, Xu Rui saw martial arts.

At this time, he had completed the entry procedures, and his desk was on the second floor, near Xu Rui.

As for Wu Yi's old subordinates, they are also joining the ranks one after another.

Before he could figure out what he should do, Wu Yi received Xu Rui's invitation to produce.

"Theatrical animation?"

Wu Yi stroked his chin, thinking about the plan Xu Rui had just told him.

Although Xu Rui said that Wu Yi will become the second production team of Fantastic Animation, with the power to independently produce animations, but on the one hand, Wu Yi is short of manpower, and there are many old employees who are willing to leave with him to come to Fantastic Animation , but it is too ideal to bring the whole team to change jobs. Animation production cannot be completed by a dozen people. Wu Yi's new team is in the running-in period, and there is no way to produce animation for a while.

On the other hand, Xu Rui's theatrical animation film really needs manpower. Unlike the theatrical version of "Magic Girl Madoka", this one is a completely new original animation. It needs to start from character design, preliminary preparation, and martial arts Joining, there is no doubt that the quality of the work can be improved.

Xu Rui's last consideration is that the cooperation of two well-known directors can produce a strong publicity effect and attract more people to the cinema to watch movies.

For these reasons, he invited Wu Yi to participate in this one-year animation film production program, allowing him to participate in the production and build his own team at the same time.

Wu Yi has never directed an animated film. He was only in charge of the production of some animated films when he was an original artist and performance period. Xu Rui invited him to be an assistant director, coordinating certain performances and storyboard design work.

In China, animated films are not considered a popular genre. There are two main reasons. One is that most of the animated films released in theaters are sequels of TV animations, which are naturally exclusive, and almost all of them are fan-oriented films. If you haven't seen the previous work, it's easy to be confused.

The second is the issue of the scale of screenings, which has a certain relationship with theaters, film and television companies, and distributors. The animation films of established animation companies can only be scheduled in small-scale theaters, and the final box office is naturally not high, forming a cycle.

The movie "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" is a work that perfectly fits these two points. As a sequel to the TV version, it is only shown in some big cities above the third tier. Also slightly miserable.

Xu Rui's new plan is a challenge to this situation.

"Two works?"

In the hands of Wu Yi is the proposal given by Xu Rui, which includes two works, one of which is about 50 minutes long, not shown in theaters, and only broadcast exclusively on the Hatsune Video Network. This work, apart from Xu Rui In addition to providing the initial script of the story, Wu Yi will be mainly responsible.

The second work is a film officially released in theaters, with a duration of 100 minutes. This one is mainly in charge of Xu Rui, and Wu Yi is in charge of supervision.

The production of the two works is going on at the same time. Wu Yi's short story is expected to be broadcast in June next year, and Xu Rui's work will be released in late August of the following year. The two works are released one year apart. Considering the duration and production schedule, if Coupled with the second season of "Music Girl", then in the first half of next year, the fantasy animation is equivalent to three openings.

Wu Yi opened the script of the work he was in charge of, and it was a rather realistic story.

The male protagonist is a student. During the rainy season, he will habitually skip classes and come to the lake in the middle of the city. The male protagonist’s dream is to become a shoe designer. When skipping classes, he will be by the lake, Design with my own sketchbook.

But one day, when he came to the gazebo that was originally his own, he found an elderly woman sitting there, eating chocolate and drinking beer, looking like she was doing nothing.

Over time, the two people who met by chance from time to time began to communicate, and the male protagonist gradually developed a hazy affection for this woman who was much older than himself, and even wanted to make a pair of shoes for the other party to secretly express his feelings.

But later, the male protagonist finds out that the woman is actually a teacher in his school. He feels that he has been deceived, and the teacher politely rejects the male protagonist's intentions. In the end, the male protagonist leaves alone.

But at this moment, the heroine suddenly understood her feelings, she chased after her, and the two finally hugged each other.

At the end of the story, the heroine went to a distant place to continue teaching due to work reasons, while the hero continued to move forward towards his dream. Both of them worked hard to be better when they met next time. At this point, the story ended abruptly. And stop.

After reading this script, which has almost no lines or detailed plots, and only has a story idea, Wu Yi first thought of "Voice of the Stars", a work that Xu Rui became famous for.

Although this story does not have any sci-fi elements, the core of the story is similar to "Voice of the Stars", with a certain "distance" emotion.

In "Voice of the Stars", two like-minded people are separated by a distance of several light years, and even the radio waves of the confession are blown away by the universe.

In this work, although the two people have the same heart, the gap in identity and age makes them far away. At the end of the story, the two are not together, but only give an open ending.

Wu Yi is a little curious, why Xu Rui likes this kind of subject matter so much, but in terms of the overall story, Wu Yi thinks it is not bad.

Of course, Wu Yi is best at imaginative themes of different worlds. Whether it is "Steel Magician" or "City of Giants", they are all stories that are very different from modern life. The "Innocent Teacher and Pretty Student" he is in charge of also has exaggerated The imaginative style, this kind of more deep, delicate, and restrained modern story, did not try too much in martial arts.

But just like that, Wu Yi thinks it is a kind of challenge. If a director can only shoot in other worlds, then he is not a qualified and excellent director. Wu Yi's emotional life is not very rich, and his wife is from college. Classmates, therefore, while he is not sure about this delicate emotional story, he is also eager to try it.

It's as if a successful master suddenly came to a new field, and Wu Yi even recalled the throbbing mood when he was in charge of the director of his first work.

Therefore, after receiving Xu Rui's invitation, Wu Yi thought over and over again, and finally decided to take over the directorship of this work.

On October 12th, Fantastic Animation's official Weibo issued an announcement, announcing that Wu Yi had officially joined Fantastic Animation, and also announced his first work in Fantastic Animation. The director and starring role of this work is Wu Yi, and the script And performance inspection is Xu Rui, this is a theatrical animation film that will be screened on Hatsune Video Online.

The name of the work is "The Garden of Words".
