The Creator of the Second Dimension

The long holiday in October is coming to an end soon. Although the seven days are long, for many people, the time seems to be stolen. As soon as they open and close their eyes, they are already going to work.

During these seven days, the animations in October were broadcast one after another. Xu Rui and Yi Qianqian went to work in the company during the day and stayed at home at night, watching the new animations while having dinner.

In Xu Rui's opinion, the best thing to watch in October is really the first broadcast of "Steel Magician". Rainbow Media's "The Boy Looking Up at the Sky and the Different World Reflected in His Eyes" is well-produced and has excellent graphics. But the story is a bit cloudy, making people unable to grasp the point.

Although the background of the end of the world and the moving city is very attractive in the "Doomsday City Thunder" by Love Craftsmanship, there are slight flaws in the production, and some broken pictures can be seen with the naked eye. The "Qingqiu Friends Book" by Mogu Yinghua perfectly restores the original work The painting style and rhythm, but the subject matter itself is a bit niche, and copying the plot also makes people lose some sense of expectation.

As for "Valkyria of the Stars", although the painting style is restored but the action is stiff, the plot of "Rental House" is procrastinated, and the picture of "Funny Tribal King" collapses. There are more animations that are slightly inferior.

A week later, on the animation section of Taotao.com, on the reservation list, the number of reservations for "Steel Magician" has exceeded 25,000, while the second place "Qingqiu Friends Book" is only 8,000. It can be said that from the reservation Judging from the list, Wu Yi's "Steel Magician" can almost pull up the rest of the works.

With the broadcast of the animation, although the background of "Steel Magician" is dark, the plot that still shines with the brilliance of human nature has won praise from the audience. To be honest, it is not easy to show the bad side of human nature, but it is even more important to praise the brilliance of human nature. It's not easy, but the martial arts director did it.

By mid-to-late November, whether it’s on Weibo, video sites, or forums, the discussion about "Iron Magician" is basically about the "Iron Magician" except for those who still think that the plot will collapse. What kind of historical height can the work reach and how much can the sales volume reach.

The annual animation selection selects new animations from April last year to January this year, and in January due to various festivals, there are generally not any masterpieces to be broadcast, so the strong files are mostly broadcast in October.

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, next year's annual animation selection is over.

The speech made by director Wu Yi at the annual animation conference was rediscovered. While people were amazed that this talented director really has such strength, they also paid more attention to Xu Rui mentioned in the interview.

However, Xu Rui didn't pay much attention to the public opinion of the outside world, he was focusing on making animations.

At the morning meeting of the fantasy animation, Xu Rui and Cheng Ke were comparing the production progress with the executive producers.

"The VTR synthesis of the first episode has been completed, the production part has been completed, the post-recording of the fourth episode has also been completed, the animation synthesis of the seventh episode has been completed this week, and the coloring of the tenth episode has started this week."

Cheng Ke, as the producer, also served as the executive producer of four episodes, and was very busy every day.

"The sound and picture synthesis of the second episode will start this afternoon, the post-recording of the fifth episode is scheduled to start tomorrow, the coloring of the eighth episode is still a little bit late, and the animation synthesis will start on Thursday at the latest, and the painting of the eleventh episode will be completed. Three start coloring."

The person who spoke was a young boy with natural curly hair. His name was Xu Yang. He was an executive producer who joined later. He used to work in an animation company in Sichuan and Sichuan. Here comes the recruitment information.

"Uh, the audio-visual synthesis of the third episode started on Friday, the editing of the sixth episode started on Wednesday, the coloring of the ninth episode was completed on Thursday, and the original painting of the twelfth episode is expected to take another week. It should be right."

The third executive producer is a petite girl named Gao Senmiao. She has graduated for two years and worked as an executive producer in Aicraft for one year. She is not very skilled, but she is very enthusiastic.

Although Xu Rui's storyboarding and performance part has ended, many of the following links require the director's participation, so he can't take it easy.

“That’s pretty much it, and it’s great that the outsourcing company is able to meet the deadline.”

Xu Rui checked the schedule on the laptop and said.

"It will be played in one month, I hope everyone can continue to work hard."

Raising his head, Xu Rui said to several executive producers.

Executive production can be regarded as the busiest position in the animation production process. It needs to be responsible for all aspects of an episode of animation from beginning to end. Xu Rui really wants to hire more executive producers to share the work, but unfortunately there are very few reliable interviewers.

Compared with directors and performances, original paintings and dubbing, which will be noticed by the audience, executive production is basically the most obscure existence, but without them, animation production cannot be carried out at all, so some people jokingly say that executive producers are all A guy who generates electricity with love.

Walking out of the conference room, Xu Rui felt the hot air coming from the heater. He looked out the window, and saw that the lush trees had become bare, and the fallen leaves had long been cleaned by the sanitation workers of the park, making the whole park much more bleak.

At the end of November, it was early winter in Ningjiang, Xu Rui's clothes changed from short sleeves and coats to sweaters, and the animation production of "Soul Eater: Zero" also entered the most intense stage.

From the completion of the VTR editing of the first episode and the receipt of the white box, it means that the cut-off line is approaching step by step. Every week, the people of Magic Electric need to go all out to complete their work, otherwise the animation will be postponed. As far as the animation is concerned, it is devastating.

Of course, if it is impossible to complete the animation of the week for some reason, the production team can also use the last resort, that is, to make up the number of the total chapters, but this method will greatly affect word-of-mouth. You know, the audience waited for a week. , What you see is the repetition of the previous episodes, which is extremely bad for the viewing experience.

The most famous general story collection in the industry should be the general story collection of the two animations "Girl Fighter" and "Spaceman Shadow". One of the episodes was completed through OVA only a month later.

Although "Spaceman Shadow" is a well-known animation, when it was actually broadcast on the TV station, due to the production cycle, the last episode used the general chapter collection, and it was not revised until the later disc, but this is not the case. does not affect its success.

"At least you don't have to worry about the total collection."

Xu Rui laughed at himself. When he got back to his seat, he saw Li Ruoxuan walking into the second floor with two big bags.

"I bought hot milk tea, everyone come to the tea room to get it."

She said, after putting the milk tea on the table in the tea room, she took two of the cups and came behind Xu Rui with a smile.
