The Creator of the Second Dimension

Not everyone watched the animatronics "Unnatural Death" in the first place, but at least families with students at home basically did.

From the next day, Weibo, forums, major social platforms, and even some people who usually don't watch animations began to discuss "Unnatural Death".

Without him, it's all because this animation is so good-looking.

On Weibo, the popularity of unnatural deaths continued to rise, and soon reached the top three positions in the hot search list, second only to the birthday and concert entries of the two little fresh meats.

And most of the reviews are praising this animation.

[Non-Whispering Sheep]: I originally supervised my son’s impressions after reading and writing, but I have forgotten my original purpose after seeing it. This animation is different from many animations I have come into contact with before. It is very delicately produced. , the picture is excellent, and more importantly, the story is so well told, even better than many movies and TV shows that have invested heavily. I really hope that there will be more works like this in the future.

[Fried Chicken and Beer]: There are three stories nested in this short 40-minute animation. There is also the most important thing, the seemingly vicious gangster Chen Shanquan, his parents, and the people in the commercial street. The three stories tell the same theme, and they are all stories of going home, which is wonderful.

[Sapphire]: I haven’t been home for three years. I’m working hard in a big city by myself, and sometimes I’m really tired. But at this age, I only have more opportunities when I go out to make a living. I miss my parents very much. I heard others say I watched the replay, alas, I immediately called home after watching it, and cried without saying anything, my dad told me to go home if I couldn’t hold on anymore, alas, now It's a mess and don't know what to do.

【KR765】: Who knows the hard work of the study abroad party? Sigh, every New Year’s Eve I see others posting about their New Year’s Eve dinner, but I can only spend it alone. Let alone, I will return to China after finishing my studies this year.

[Zero without ice]: Originally, I had no expectations for this series of animations. After all, everyone has seen the same in the first few episodes. It is really unexpected that the fourth episode has such a high quality, even in a relatively short duration. Inside, the production team has also successfully portrayed many individual characters through performances. It is hard to imagine that this is the work of a new company.

[The Shepherd of the Library]: The extremely realistic picture, the forbearance contains waves of emotions, and it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people bit by bit. This story is not a grand adventure, nor does it show the darkness of human nature, but moistens things like spring rain Silent, I haven’t shed tears because of a story for a long time, because I understand that stories are always just stories, but this work made me break this idea. Now I feel that some stories, maybe not just stories, are still running around in this world you and me.

[Frost Leaf Red]: I held back my tears for a long time, but I couldn't bear it at the moment when the ending song sounded. This story is just like a lemon, sour and bitter, but with a hint of freshness. I'm glad I watched it this animation.

The singer of the ending song "Lemon" is Su Liyu. Her voice is clean and pure, and she sings lightly, which brings a bit of clarity to this beautiful melody. When combined with the plot, it is moving and can be Said to hit people's hearts.

On the music search rankings, "Lemon" quickly climbed to the first place. Suo Ren Music Company was responsible for the recording work, and at this time it was also very smart to put Su Liyu's single album on the shelves. In just one day, Within a short period of time, it reached 350,000 paid downloads, which is already close to the data when many well-known singers released their latest albums.

Because "Unnatural Death" was broadcast in prime time, and it was an official promotional video, the audience was not known to be much higher than the animation broadcast on video sites, so the spread of this song was quite wide.

Tomato Video soon had a cover video on the Internet, but it always made people feel that something was missing, not as good as the original song. For a while, "Lemon" was played on a loop in major shopping malls.

In the morning meeting made by Tomato, the leaders of several groups were sitting in the meeting room, and the atmosphere was a little dignified.

This meeting included the directors of each group, the person in charge of the original painting group, etc. The head of the original painting group of Chen Muzhi's group asked for leave today, and he attended on his behalf.

At one end of the long table, a man with a bald head and a suit was sitting on a sofa chair with a serious expression.

He is Fang Yuan, the immediate boss of the animation production department of Tomato Video Network. He can be regarded as the direct person in charge of Tomato Manufacturing and Rainbow Media, and concurrently serves as the leader of animation related businesses of Tomato Video Network.

"Have you watched the previous "Unnatural Death"?"

Fang Yuan's voice couldn't hear any emotion, just like asking what he had for breakfast this morning.

After getting everyone's nod, he asked again.

"What do you think of this animation?"

Hearing the leader's question, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering what kind of answer he wanted to hear.

"Old Huang, tell me."

Fang Yuan looked at the person closest to the left. This is Huang Qiu from Rainbow Media Group. His previous production "The Boy Who Looks Up at the Sky and the Different World Reflected in His Eyes" suffered a tragic defeat. ten years of experience.

"Uh, the production of this animation is very good, mainly because the story is well told, but there are also some flaws."

He said a few comments that can be applied to any work, and he doesn't know if he has actually seen it.

"I think its picture is very good. It uses realistic light and shadow. Although it can't use some common methods of animation in terms of expression, it has expanded the audience."

Seeing that Huang Qiu had already opened his mouth, Shen Binfeng, the boss of the tomato production team, continued to speak, speaking in more detail.

Everyone was chattering, and each spoke for a while.

In the end, everyone turned to Wu Yi who was at the farthest end of the long table. He was the youngest director among them.

"Wu Yi, what do you think?"

Fang Yuan asked blankly.

"I feel that if this is a regular 12-episode animation and it is broadcast on a video website or TV station, I may not be able to win the annual animation award this year."

he said lightly.

Hearing Wu Yi's words, Chen Muzhi looked at the others, and everyone had similar reactions.

This kid is really crazy.

Wu Yi's words have two meanings. One is that the production standard of "Unnatural Death" is quite high, but because this kind of short animation does not participate in the annual animation selection, it does not constitute a direct competition with Wu Yi.

The second is to think that this year's annual animation is a certainty, and other competitors can't shake it at all, even the extremely popular fantasy animation "Soul Eater: Zero".

After Wu Yi finished speaking, Fang Yuan's expression softened a little, and he continued to speak.

"Which team is in charge of this series of promotional videos? Look at the level of their production, and then look at what kind of rubbish you produced? I received a call from my superiors this morning, naming and praising "Unnatural Death", but also asking Just ask me why the animation produced by China's largest animation production company is not as good as the work of a new company."

His words made the team leader of the second tomato production team shudder, afraid to answer.

"The prize money for the second season of Tomato Group will be cancelled, let you have a longer memory, and the meeting will be adjourned."

Fang Yuan knocked on the table and said calmly.

Then, he seemed to remember something, looked at his phone, and then his expression froze.

Because Xu Rui, the director of the fantasy animation of "Unnatural Death", was the person he wanted to recruit even with Rainbow Media's offer.
