The Creator of the Second Dimension

In May, two little things happened that were trivial to the industry.

The first thing is that Fantastic Animation announced that the original character design of its new work will be the famous manga artist Shukai who has been closed for a long time, which makes people look forward to this work that has not even been named.

The second is that the Ningjiang division of the famous model company Toy Times Group fired an unknown designer.

In mid-May, the weather became hotter and hotter. The summer in Ningjiang was humid and hot, and the whole city was like a big steamer. Fantastic Animation turned on the air conditioner early, giving people a little comfort in summer.

Xu Rui has completed the scripts for the three episodes and the performance draft for the first two episodes, and is drawing the performance draft for the third episode, which is the most important episode. He finished part A, stopped his pen, and opened the webpage to browse at will Take a moment to relax your mind.

Xu Rui soon saw on Weibo the announcement of the discontinuation of a certain series of models by the Ningjiang Division of Toy Age Group that was reposted by others. It was originally an ordinary announcement, but when Xu Rui saw the picture below, he couldn't help but laugh.

Because this model named "Unknown Nightmare" series is the one that Cheng Ke had received the animation planning letter before. It seems wise that Xu Rui didn't accept the list for that indescribable model at the time, otherwise the animation would be half done. If the investor withdraws, he may suffer.

Because of this relationship, Xu Rui couldn't help but pay more attention to this news.

He searched and found that the models produced by Toy Age Group have two product lines, one is realistic models such as sports cars, airplanes, and ships, and the other is completely original fantasy models, including robots, spaceships, etc. some type of.

The "Unknown Nightmare" series is a fantasy model. This series constructs a crazy world view. All kinds of horrifying and indescribable creatures dominate the world. Human beings are just small and insignificant existences in it. It's none of your business to realize that your breath destroys the planet, destroys you.

This is not in harmony with the lively style of heroes and fantasy before the toy era. Although it has been well received by a small number of hardcore people, it cannot save the sales of the series of models. Therefore, production was discontinued, and the designer Holofer also resigned.

"Are these models really free from nightmares when you buy them back?"

Xu Rui smiled, suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and looked at his script.

In "Magic Girl Madoka Magica", in addition to the cute character design, there is another link design that is also very important, and that is the witch.

In the setting of the animation world, the witch is a desperate magical girl. Each witch has its own characteristics. In the original animation, the painting style of these witches is completely different from the general animation. It is very unique. Xu Rui originally wanted to make the original painting Restoring this style, although there is a gap, should be acceptable.

Now seeing this "Unknown Nightmare" series, Xu Rui suddenly had an idea, if this designer is hired to design the witch, there might be some amazing chemical reaction.

This indescribable design style is similar to the Cthulhu mythology system on the earth, but in this world, this kind of evil god monster is just a minority among the minority, and the Cthulhu mythology system is simply There is no way to talk about it.

Xu Rui came up with a mischievous idea, and he quickly found the contact information of the designer, Holofer, and picked up the phone.

In 1919 Bar Street, Holofer was dejected in a bar.

It has been almost a week since he was fired. These days, he came to this bar every day from daytime to get drunk, and he didn't go home trembling until late at night.

Holofer has previously dominated the models of several superhero series, which are very popular, and his status within the company has risen with each passing day.

But what he doesn't know is that his prominence has hindered many people in the company, including some who have formed a faction, and everyone is looking forward to Holofer's fall.

Unexpectedly, Holofer really stumbled by himself.

In fact, he has always had some crazy thoughts in his mind. Holofer often has nightmares, in which he will see those indescribable monsters. He has conceived a world since he was a student, a crazy world, and wants to bring it to reality. .

Of course, this is not to say that Holofer is psychopathic. He knows very well that only imagination can construct such madness. It is precisely because it cannot exist in reality that he seeks comfort in fiction.

It's a pity that there are very few people who can resonate with Holofer. The project "Unknown Nightmare" that he has devoted his efforts to has hit the street, which eventually led to him being squeezed out by other people in the company and eventually fired.

He submitted several resumes after he left, but Toy Age is the largest model company in China after all. Other small companies either dare not accept Holofer, or think that Holofer's arrival will shake the original leadership position, so they all His resume was rejected.

Huo Luofei is not a native of Ningjiang, and he still has some savings from the past few years, but if he can't find a job in another two months, I'm afraid he really has to pack up and go back to his hometown.

The atmosphere of this bar is relatively quiet, there are food and beverages available, and there are even resident singers at night. Holofer came here as if he was at home. He drank beer and felt slightly drunk.

At this time, his cell phone rang.

Holofer looked at the phone number, but he didn't recognize it, and he didn't press it like before, but got through the phone.

"Hello? I don't have money to buy shops, I don't need broadband, and I won't send you money, that's it"

As soon as he finished speaking and was about to hang up, he heard the words coming from the phone.

After listening vaguely for a while, Holofer suddenly stood up, his whole body trembled, and he was suddenly full of energy.

"Really? Yes, uh, I don't have any plans yet, um, ok, ok, I see."

He nodded repeatedly, then put down the phone.

"What's wrong?"

It was the first time for the bartender who was wiping the glass to see Holofer look so energetic, he asked.

"I'm leaving today, thank you for these few days, I'll put the money here for you."

Holofer put down the money for the drink, and immediately left the bar in a hop.
