The Creator of the Second Dimension

Wu Yi's messy hair looks like he hasn't taken care of it for many days. He is unshaven, wearing an informal T-shirt, shorts, and hole shoes on his feet. He looks more like an uncle who goes to the supermarket to buy cigarettes than An animation director.

"Phantom's new animation seems very interesting."

Wu Yi said, Xu Rui didn't hear the meaning of joking from his tone, only sincere praise.

"Unfortunately, it probably won't be available on Tomato."

Xu Rui spread his hands as if helplessly and said.

"I'm sorry, I heard this from some colleagues, I'm just a small director, I can't interfere with too many things."

Wu Yi felt a little regretful, he expressed his objection after learning about the website’s countermeasures against Phantom Electric, because Wu Yi really wanted to compete with Xu Rui on the same platform, as he said in the interview, directors of the same generation Among them, Wu Yi thinks that his opponent is Xu Rui alone. The two chatted casually for a few more words, and Xu Rui found that some of the martial arts director's insights were indeed quite innovative. It can only be said that he was able to become a director in such a short period of time from the animation industry with a serious seniority system. It's not just luck.

However, the two new star directors were too dazzling, and soon some spectators gathered nearby, and the two had no choice but to say goodbye after leaving their contact information.

When Xu Rui returned to the comic exhibition, he saw an animation clip that he had never seen before being played on the booth of Tomato Video Network. After looking carefully, he realized that it was the trailer of the new work "Wolf and Cat" directed by Wu Yi. piece.

Judging from the preview, this is a somewhat different superhero movie. The world view is set in the near future. The existence of superpowers has been known to the public. Superheroes born to deal with superpower crimes not only need to punish criminals , They also need to show their own strength to the public. In order to maintain the daily life of superheroes, they take up advertisements like stars, and their combat uniforms have many well-known trademarks.

The protagonist of the story is a superhero who has been working for many years and is about to retire. He is nicknamed "Lone Wolf". The partner is a handsome young man nicknamed "Orange Cat". He has many different views from the protagonist, and the two resolve one incident after another amidst the quarrel.

As director Wu Yi said, this is a superhero-themed animation, but unlike the previous setting, this animation has made many innovations in the image of the hero and the relationship with society, which makes people look forward to it. It adopts the character design of the famous cartoonist Mr. Kishi, beautiful and charming.

More importantly, all the sponsors in the work actually exist. I am afraid they are also investors of the production committee. The sufficient funds make this animation full of money, and the pictures are exquisite to the level of theater animation. There are plenty of sheets.

From the setting, the story, to the production, this animation has written all over its face that next year's annual animation is my sentence.

Xu Rui left the booth of Tomato Video Network, and was going to gather at the booth of Suoren Music that he had made an appointment with Yi Qianqian and Su Liyu.

He walked through the fandom area, and vaguely saw a long queue in front of the barrage game booth of Zhou Zun, who was still unknown last year, and his new work "Fantasy Scarlet Devil Township" seemed to have received a very high evaluation.

Seeing that Zhou Zun was very busy, Xu Rui didn't bother him, and went to have a look after he was ready.

Just when Xu Rui squeezed out from the crowd and finally came to a relatively empty booth, a voice stopped him.

"Little brother, do you want to see our new game?"

Xu Rui turned his head and saw a girl with short hair. She was wearing a navy blue short sleeve, a dark long skirt, and glasses. She looked like a literary girl.

"Sorry, I... Forget it, I still have time, just take a look."

Xu Rui wanted to decline, but he looked at his phone, and saw that there were still 20 minutes before the agreed time, so he stopped to take a look. After all, Zhou Zun's example was before him, maybe Xu Rui could find some good seedlings.

"Ah, that's great, Ah Wu, we're picking up the guests."

The literary girl suddenly smiled, and patted the napping boy beside her.

The two of them didn't look very old, probably in their twenties, and there were no customers in front of their booth, so it was deserted.

"Don't use words like picking up customers that can be misleading."

The boy named A Wu raised his head, and when he saw Xu Rui, he felt familiar.

"Hello, this is a game we made, you can try it out."

He moved the notebook over.

Xu Rui saw that this is a text adventure game, which is commonly known as an electronic novel. The game consists of background, character drawing, and text. Some have options, and some go all the way to the end. The development of this kind of game is the easiest. All you need is an artist, a script, and the program has tutorials for fools on the Internet, even junior high school students can learn it.

There are countless booths producing this kind of game in the comic exhibition, and this booth in front of you is one of them.

After reading the game's brochure and playing it for a while, Xu Rui found that the game looked familiar.

The protagonist of the game is a high school student who has been recovering from illness, and suddenly received a letter to return to live in a big city. One day, he met a girl who claimed to be a vampire. Under some impulse, he killed the vampire girl. But he found that the other party came back from the dead and came to the door. From this, the protagonist unfolded a weird urban legend.

The music of the game is simple, and there is no dubbing. The lines of the characters are very simple, but after watching a few characters, it is inevitable to feel that the repetition of the faces is a bit high.

There are some routines at the beginning of the story, but the follow-up setting is quite different from the story. The text of the script is full of different textures. It feels a bit jerky to read at first, but it is surprisingly interesting after accepting it.

"Are you still students?"

Xu Rui asked.

"Yes, we are juniors at Ningjiang University. My name is Xu Rong, from the Chinese Department, and his name is Zhu Wuhang, from the Academy of Fine Arts."

The girl replied that she was a little careless and didn't see anything wrong.

"Hey, then we are still alumni. I graduated from the Animation Academy last year."

"Wow, I remember animation school last year really well."

The girl Xu Rong opened her eyes wide and said excitedly.

Xu Rui chatted with them for a few words, and learned that both of them were from Ningjiang. They were neighbors since they were young. They were classmates in the same school from kindergarten to university. After entering university, the two formed this fan club called Broom , this text adventure game is their first work.

Xu Rong also showed Xu Rui the preview of their next work. It was a story about a girl who accidentally met several magicians who summoned powerful undead to fight, and broke into the war. The work is in the same line, but according to the current sales situation, it is estimated that it will be stillborn.

"I was in charge of the script, and he came to draw and program the game. Originally, this game was finished last year, but we didn't win a booth at that time, and we were unwilling to sell it until this year's lottery. But, hehe, it doesn't look like it How welcome."

Xu Rong said, she looked enviously at the queue at Zhou Zun's booth in the distance.

"It would be great if we could go from being unknown to a big hit like the fantasy series. Unfortunately, there are not many fan clubs like this."

Hearing her words, Xu Rui looked at the game called "Princess of the Moon" they sold. After paying for a copy, he asked for a pen and paper, wrote down a contact information, and handed it to the two.

"I am very interested in your game. If you want, I can sponsor and invest in it. You can find me at this address later. Here is my phone number. I still have an appointment, so I will leave first."

Xu Rui said, after waving his hand, he said as if he remembered something.

"By the way, regarding your new work, I think it would be better to switch the genders of the male and female protagonists?"

"Huh? Uh"

After receiving the note, Xu Rong was still thinking about the proposal to change the protagonist's gender, and then turned her gaze back to the note after watching the other party leave.

"Xu Rui...last year's graduate... Ah, Xu Rui from the Fantastic Animation!!?"

She was dumbfounded, but she couldn't find Xu Rui's back in the crowd.
