The Creator of the Second Dimension

At the end of November, the weather is getting cooler.

Han Qingwen stopped writing and looked away from the monitor.

The original painting work is intense and hard. Even though the working environment has changed from paper and pen to digital painting, maintaining the same posture for a long time is still a strain on the shoulders and waist.

Han Qingwen glanced at the office. Everyone else was concentrating on drawing. There was no other sound in the office except the occasional keyboard tapping and the scraping of the pen on the digital board.

There is still one month before the broadcast of "Once Upon a Time on Earth", and the first original painting team is the busiest time.

Xu Rui's requirements for the original painting can be called abnormal. He paid attention to details to the explanatory text on the cigarette box. Even if it is just a few seconds of the data screen, the person in charge of the setting gave a detailed drawing reference.

The industry generally believes that there are two styles of animation works of fantasy animation.

The first is the realistic style that continues from "Voice of the Stars", "Unnatural Death", "The Garden of Words" and so on. The light and shadow, background, and character design of these works are very close to reality, and they are also known as random pictures. Screenshots can be used as wallpapers.

The other is the typical animation style of "Soul Eater: Zero", "Magic Girl Madoka Magica", and "Music Girl". Other video genres have very different art styles.

For example, in the scene of an explosion, the animation in the first style, the explosion is closer to the reality of smoke fragments splashing, etc., while the animation in the second style may appear blocky fragmentation and exaggerated deformation wait.

Generally speaking, for works that are relatively serious, realistic, and popular, Xu Rui will choose a realistic style, and for works that are more relaxed and full of fantasy, he will choose a typical animation style.

In the animation "Once Upon a Time on Earth", Xu Rui adopted the first style.

This kind of work with a sci-fi texture is also involved with civilization and the like. There is no need to use the artistic treatment of the animation style. The realistic style is very reasonable.

But this obviously increases the difficulty of painting.

Han Qingwen felt a little stressed.

Although he has been exposed to similar paintings, this is the first real commercial original painting. It takes a long time to paint an original painting, which is far behind his predecessors.

If it were used in other animation companies that mainly calculate salary based on the number of original paintings, Han Qingwen would have starved to death long ago.

In fact, the model adopted by most animation companies is that newcomers first work in animation and other departments for several years, and then gradually get in touch with original paintings. This method has advantages and disadvantages. Mature and stable, the downside is probably that many people may leave this industry due to financial difficulties before becoming an original artist.

According to statistics in the past few years, the income of the animation production industry is not directly proportional to the labor hours paid, and the original artists are all low-income groups.

The Phantom Animation adopts a training model more like that of a large company. For example, young people like Han Qingwen, who were selected as freshmen, have completed the accumulation of experience from animators to original painters in other companies through several years of contact and internships. , such students can join the original painting work as soon as they graduate.

Just like Han Qingwen, although the painting is slow, the quality of the painting is guaranteed. Maybe only animation companies like Magic Animation, which are not bad for money and not bad for the construction period, can do this.

Stretching his shoulders, he worked until his lunch break, and returned to his seat after having lunch with Li Xue before checking the news.

Han Qingwen discovered that there were more news about 99+ in the university class group.

This group was active for a while when they just graduated, but as everyone's work got on the right track, it gradually fell silent.

Han Qingwen found it strange that there were so many news suddenly today.

So he opened it and took a look, because he was too lazy to turn to the top, so Han Qingwen just looked at it casually.

[He Wei]: It's amazing, I also want to do this kind of animation.

[Xu Kexin]: Who told you not to work hard at the beginning, if you played less games in your freshman year, wouldn't you have entered the magic power?

[Chen Chen]: I watched the trailer again, alas, looking at the things I draw now, I feel that they are not the same stuff, what other people do is animation, and we are just animation migrant workers.

[Lu Wenbin]: I really envy those of you who can stay in the animation industry. I can only sit in the office and listen to those aunts nagging every day, which is boring and boring.

[Liu Qianwei]: Go, go, I don't want to talk to a rich second generation like you who owns mines.

[Li Wei]: Hey, I remember there was someone in our class who was doing magic electricity @韩清文, this person is ignoring everyone now.

"What the hell?"

Before Han Qingwen figured out the ins and outs, he saw someone @自己.

If you don't see it, it seems not very good.

He could only reply with a question mark.

Seeing Han Qingwen's reply, the group became even more lively.

Seeing their chatter, Han Qingwen finally understood why the group suddenly became lively.

It turned out that the trailer of "Once Upon a Time on Earth" was released today.

Most of the footage used in this trailer is the first part of the footage that Han Qingwen and the others are in charge of. Of course, Han Qingwen himself has watched it more than a dozen times, but he forgot that today is the public day.

Except for some college students who change careers or go home to take public exams, most of the rest are in related industries, so they naturally pay attention to these things.

While replying to his classmates, he glanced at the playback volume of the trailer.

Twelve hours after it was made public, the trailer for "Once Upon a Time on Earth" has already exceeded 3 million views, which is already a good number of hits compared to Chuyin Video Network, which has tens of millions of DAUs and almost no data. Yes, you must know that today is a working day, and the real traffic peak should be after the evening.

Seeing the video, Han Qingwen simply clicked the play button again.

After several production-related logos, there is a series of countdown.

This is exactly the series of countdowns that Wang Miao saw.

The trailer unfolds from here.

For some events, the data flashed by, and there were news reports of the suicide of a scientist, the list of members of international scientific organizations, and the death report of Yang Dong.

These pictures shake a little, as if they are being oppressed by something.

Then came the three-body game.

Human computer, compiled calendar, approaching flying stars, these large scenes are directly completed by painting, full of courage.

Followed by Wang Miao's doubts and questioning.

"Who are you and what do you want?"

Then, a female voice answered calmly.

"Go to the place marked by the mail, and at that time, the whole universe will flash for you."

The first half of the entire trailer is full of suspense. At first glance, it looks like a reasoning animation.

The excellent painting and light and shadow make the whole trailer dignified and uneasy. With the large amount of information, people can't take their eyes off.

In the end, there is the emperor in ancient costumes, standing in front of the palace, looking at the sky, the picture is getting darker.

The countdown that runs through the entire trailer and appears in different places has also come to an end at this time.

At this time, a deep male voice suddenly appeared.

"Destroy you, what does it have to do with you!"

The trailer came to an abrupt end.

Only the four characters "Earth's Past" appeared on the screen.
