The Creator of the Second Dimension

Chapter 23 .New Phantom

“As you can see, this is all of us from the phantom animation.”

In the meeting room on the second floor where the phantom animation was cleaned, Xu Rui said.

There are now nine people in the phantom movie.

Excluding Xu Rui and Yi Qianqian, there are five old employees of Phantom Animation, and two newcomers.

“I’m Xu Rui, currently the person in charge of the company, I will be mainly responsible for the supervision and scripting of the animation production, and perform part-time performances. This is Iasa Asa, the original artist.”

He pointed to the side, I Asa, who was wearing a long burgundy dress.

“This is also the original painter Guo Weiren. This is Yan Zhe who is in charge of photography and special effects, Yao Jiajie who is in charge of coloring, and the producer Cheng Kewei, and Anwara who is also the original painter.”

These are all old employees of Phantom Animation. Among them, Guo Weiren is the oldest. Phantom is the first animation company he joined. Yan Zhe and Anyuan joined Phantom Animation only three years after its establishment. Yao Jiajie and Cheng Kewei are He joined Xu Rui’s father four years before his death, and stayed in Magic Power for eight years.

“As for the two new colleagues who joined Phantom TV, Tao Ran, an animator who has worked in Mushroom Film for three years, and Deng Shixin, an animator and 3D producer who had previously worked in Tomato.”

Xu Rui pointed to the other side again. These two people passed the interview in the past few days, and they belong to the immediate combat force with certain experience in the industry.

“…After that, we will get to know each other again at work. Starting today, the phantom animation will be officially established.”

Xu Rui explained the company’s daily system and said in summary.

“There is a problem, Mr. Xu.”

The animator Tao Ran helped his glasses and raised his hand and said.

“At the time of the interview, I remember you said that there are currently only two people in the phantom, why are there so many people suddenly?”

He was more straightforward and asked directly.

“This is because…”

“You are a fraud!”

Before Xu Rui could explain, Tao Ran stood up and said very indignantly.

“If you knew… if you knew…”

He turned his head and immediately leaned in front of Guo Weiren.

“If I had known that Teacher Guo you were in the phantom telecast, I would not have to worry about whether I was leaving my job all night, ah, I also missed the latest episode of “Ningjiang Zombie 2″, which was spoiled by other groups of people!”

“……Ok?”

Guo Weiren was a little confused and took a step back subconsciously.

“Teacher Guo Weiren, I am your loyal fan. It is precisely because of watching “Sky Warrior” and “Space Knight” that I decided to join the industry…”

Was it the fan who saw the idol…

Xu Rui wiped a sweat, then pulled Tao Ran away.

“You can slowly communicate with Teacher Guo later, let’s explain the next tasks first.”

As Xu Rui spoke, he took out a few documents and handed them to the people present.

“First of all, there are a few animated advertisements, such as the advertisement promotion of A’s cram school, and an advertisement promotion of Ningjiang Metro. These advertisements are the content of our work throughout July.”

Due to the development of Ningjiang’s animation industry, Ningjiang’s companies also prefer to use animation for promotion. These jobs are Xu Rui relying on his fame and connections, as well as attractive plans to fight for after the establishment of the company. Coming.

Since they are all short animations of a few minutes, a small personal studio can also afford it. To be honest, the one-month construction period is actually quite ample.

With these funds, the phantom will be able to complete the turnover in at least the first few months. As for what to do later, it depends on the response of the first animation produced by the phantom.

“As for the future work content, thanks to our producer Cheng Kewei, we have an appointment with a negotiation partner this afternoon, and I will inform you of the specific results.”

He said, clapped his hands, looked at Tao Ran who had calmed down a little, and signaled to start work.

A few people didn’t say much. They were all people who have been in the industry for so many years. Naturally, they know the focus of the work of phantom animation. No one thinks that with the current strength of phantom animation, they can make an original animation on their own. Advertisements are most suitable for short stories with small costs and quick turnover.

It’s just that after everyone got up and left and returned to their workstations, Xu Rui looked at a project that he hadn’t brought out just now.

says “Soul Eater Animation Project” on it.

……

Xinjiekou, Ningjiang City, a high-rise building is hung with a signboard of the new front line and a pirate head icon. This is the location of the editorial office of the weekly youth front line.

New Frontier, also known as New Frontier Media, is one of China’s largest comic publishing houses. Its most famous is “Weekly Youth Frontline”, this comic magazine and Xuanmo Media’s “Weekly Comic King”, the middle school’s “Weekly Twenty-Four Frames” is also known as the Big Three of China Youth Comics.

In addition to “Weekly Youth Frontline”, New Frontline Media also includes “Monthly Youth Frontline” for youth and “Margaret”, a comic magazine for women, which covers most of the reader groups. Due to the use of cruel reader questionnaires The final elimination system, therefore, the authors here work extremely hard for fear that their works will be cut in half.

The editorial office of Monthly Youth Frontline is on the 16th floor. In a meeting room, a man and a woman look at each other face to face.

“I’ve seen the storytelling and there is no big problem… Also, Mr. A Chuang, although I have already said in the email, I still have to repeat it to you here, “Soul Eater” The animation of the work is currently suspended.”

A woman wearing a suit jacket and short skirt looks very young. A bunch of upturned hair on her short hair shows her panic when she goes out. She hesitated for a while, and said as much as possible to suppress her emotions.

“I, I understand.”

The man opposite her was in his late twenties, with shaggy beard and messy hair. He was wearing a black T-shirt and holding two calloused hands in front of him, quite disturbed.

“Teacher A Chuang, please be sure to keep your serialization as normal, and don’t affect your creation because of this incident.”

“I know, edited by Xueluo.”

The man known as Mr. A Chuang is a cartoonist. He used to be the assistant of Mr. Kishibe, the author of the famous comic “The King of Thieves”. Later he submitted his contribution to the newcomer award and won the newcomer award with the manga “Soul Eater”. He debuted in the third position, and this year is the second year of serialization.

The young woman sitting across from him is his editor in charge. The editor’s name is Xueluo, and her real name is Li Ruoxuan. She has just graduated from school for a year and has been an executive editor who had been doing chores before. If it wasn’t for the predecessor who brought her because of illness As for the cultivation, it may take Li Ruoxuan half a year before he has the opportunity to contact the author.

“To be honest with this incident, the editorial department is also very surprised. We will do our best to find a suitable animation company to adapt “Soul Eater” Please rest assured, Mr. A Chuang.”

Li Ruoxuan said, originally she had just taken office, and many things were too late to be familiar with, but she happened to encounter the accident that the animation of “Soul Eater” was stranded, which made her feel devastated during this time.

“Monthly Youth Frontline” once promised that as long as it is a prize-winning work, it can be animated. At this time, the animations of several other works have either been broadcast or are in production. Only “Soul Eater” has a problem. .

Everything was originally normal, but the commissioned mild animation turned out to be due to problems such as capital turnover and internal contradictions. The project case has already come out, and the animation news has already been announced. No animation company is willing to take over such an animation that has started. The transformation plan has led to the current dilemma.

If “Soul Eater” is a popular comic, most companies will ask to produce it, but “Soul Eater” currently ranks 20th among the 36 works in the “Monthly Shonen Frontline” series, with four volumes of comics. The total sales volume is less than one million, which can only be said to be mediocre works.

This is the situation, which has led to the current situation of being unable to advance or retreat. Li Ruoxuan relied on her meager contacts to communicate with each other, hoping to find a company to take over, but unfortunately, no one responded.

Just after the two exchanged, Mr. A Chuang packed up his storytelling and was about to leave, Li Ruoxuan’s phone rang.

“Hello, hello…Yes, I am, uh uh…huh? Yes, I am here, uh? Is it really possible?”

Li Ruoxuan’s expression went from surprise at the beginning to confusion, and then became excited. She ended the conversation, clenched fists with both hands, jumped a little bit with excitement, and then said to the bewildered teacher A Chuang.

“Teacher A Chuang, an animation company is willing to take over the animation plan of “Soul Eater”!”
