The Creator of the Second Dimension

"If it's a senior, I'd be happy to be the second original painting."

"Great, so the last episode will be finished on time!"

"Don't be too happy, everything is still undecided!"

"."

In the recording studio came the chanting of the voice actors, Yi Qianqian was mixed in it, and it didn't look obtrusive. This role seemed to be tailor-made for her, and it didn't even need to deliberately change the voice line to perfectly control this role , coupled with his outstanding appearance, mixed with a bunch of young voice actors, people may even mistakenly think it is an actor who came to play a cameo.

This episode is one of the climaxes in the first half of the story of "White Box". Due to the director's temporary change of the storyboard, there is a shortage of manpower, and no original artist can control the content of the director's last storyboard - countless horses galloping on the road , and finally flew into the sky-so the protagonist who was the executive producer of the last episode began to look for the original artist everywhere.

Here, most of the characters who appeared in the first half of the story are connected in series, from several original artists of the company, to freelance original artists who have communicated before, and even pulled out the prototype projected by Li Xiuming, a senior in the industry, in the animation.

In the end, under the guidance of the seniors, the protagonist Xiao Kui discovered that the old original artist who had been neglected in the company turned out to be an expert in drawing animals, and he finally completed this original painting.

This kind of plot where everyone works together to accomplish something is quite compelling, so the performance of the voice actors is also very particular. As a "newcomer" voice actor, Yi Qianqian can keep up with the rhythm of others. .

After the dubbing ended, everyone said goodbye to the director and sound supervisor, only a few people remained on the scene.

"Qianqian behaved so well, I almost thought she was a professionally trained senior."

Sound director Tian Zihui said while sorting out the recording materials.

"Sister Tian won the award, probably because the character template is more suitable."

Yi Qianqian smiled softly, and leaned close to Xu Rui like a bird.

"Boss, do you want to go back to the company together? I'll drive."

The producer Gao Senmiao on the side put all the materials in the bag and asked.

"Well, I'll trouble you then."

Xu Rui didn't drive himself. He took Cheng Ke's car when he participated in the audition. But Cheng Ke went out for the next few episodes, and Gao Senmiao was left in charge of these few episodes.

Yi Qianqian and Xu Rui sat in the back seat, Gao Senmiao fastened his seat belt and started the engine.

There are not many cars on the expressway, and even fewer people go to the high-tech zone, and the road is unimpeded.

"By the way, boss, that independent game award seems to be very popular recently, and several of my classmates have come to me to ask about it."

Gao Senmiao was careless, chatting while driving.

"Why, your classmates also want to participate?"

Xu Rui asked, Gao Senmiao majored in liberal arts at university, so he came to be an executive producer because of his interest. In fact, in the industry of producers, there are only a few people with real majors.

"They are just curious and come to gossip. After all, they all like to play games."

Gao Senmiao glanced at the rearview mirror, Yi Qianqian's skin was still as good as that of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, and she did not seem to have given birth to a child at all. On the contrary, it was Gao Senmiao, who had become a bit slovenly after years of traveling. , very envious of Yi Qianqian's skin.

"Boss, will this steam game platform focus on independent games in the future?"

"Indie games will be a very important part of the steam platform."

Xu Rui paused and asked again.

"Sen Miao, which platform do you think has the most exclusive games?"

"Uh, it should be SN4?"

Gao Senmiao replied without thinking.

"No, it should be PC."

Xu Rui explained patiently.

"When we look at the game industry, we should not only look at those well-known manufacturers, but also see more small and medium-sized manufacturers. Even if independent game producers are not counted, PCs have the most games. There are many types of games, such as real-time Most of the strategy and so on can only be played on PC.”

"It seems so."

Gao Senmiao felt a little enlightened. After thinking about it carefully, it is true that there are more games that can be played on the computer, but it just made her think, and subconsciously thought of those "masterpieces" advertised on the console.

"PC is the largest and most viable platform, but at the same time, PC is also the most loose platform. As long as it can be released, even a one-person production team can release games."

Xu Rui glanced out the window at the constant stream of vehicles.

"However, for players, the looseness and freedom of the PC poses a certain amount of trouble, like, want to watch animation, but because the works are scattered on many playback platforms, or even no playback platform at all, you can only pay attention to Weibo QQ group download Similarly, if you don’t have 12 points of attention and love for the works, how can you continue to search for news about these works.”

"So, the steam platform wants to integrate the entire PC game manufacturer and create a platform where all PC games can be played?"

Gao Senmiao seemed to understand, but followed Xu Rui's words.

"It can be understood that most of the PC platforms in the past were only built for the benefit of their own companies, and it was difficult to say that they could accommodate those works. This is also the reason for their failure."

Xu Rui smiled.

"Sometimes, you can't be too greedy. Don't think about having everything. Sometimes giving up properly can open up a new situation."

"If they are unwilling to give benefits to developers, then developers are naturally unwilling to invest in the platform, which is the same as video sites."

Yi Qianqian, who had been silent all this time, opened her mouth, and Gao Senmiao finally understood.

The game platform is the same as the video platform. It is difficult to make a platform truly active only by first-party works. Even if it does not go bankrupt, the atmosphere of the entire platform will tend to be closed, forming a small group structure.

To make the platform alive, a large amount of UCG content is essential. The content produced by these users will attract more users and achieve a virtuous circle.

The independent game award on the steam platform, "Made in the Wild", is exactly the embodiment of this thinking.

"However, Boss, some of my classmates are also a little curious. They said that Magic Electric was originally an animation company, and it's not bad to be a video website, but now it's a game platform or something, will it make people feel bad?"

Gao Senmiao asked again with a little hesitation. If it were another boss, she probably wouldn't be able to ask. Xu Rui was more approachable, so she dared to be so direct.

Xu Rui didn't ask Gao Senmiao if this friend of yours is you, but thought about it and replied.

"Phantom Animation, Hatsune Video Network, Hatsune Games, the essence of the products of these companies is a community atmosphere. Everyone will think, well, this is our community, rather than thinking that this is a commercial trading platform. Serve."

He turned his gaze back and continued.

"The best state of a community is the moment when it is born. Afterwards, even if there is any change, there will be people who oppose it. What we have been doing is very simple, that is, centered on content, those who like animation, and those who like games , can find their favorite content in the platform community, as long as the content remains unchanged, they will stay here. What you want is always there.”
