Chapter 109. Miracles and magic exist
Chen Muzhi, the original artist of Tomato Manufacturing, finished his day's work and returned home. After having takeout, he opened Hatsune Video.
Although it is not suitable for Tomato’s employee to watch other people’s video websites like this, Chen Muzhi thinks, no matter what he is, can my boss at home know what I am doing?
Chen Muzhi did not watch the most popular ghost [Bee--] video and song covers. He clicked on the animation derivative partition. There are many animation commentary here. Unlike simple retelling of the plot, these commentaries are generally mixed with the understanding and analysis of the video producer himself. Although the quality is uneven, you can still find good videos if you look for them patiently.
For example, Chen Muzhi likes to watch this video called [The Shepherd in the Library]. He knows that this guy is Bai Haoran who has hardly spoken in the group. He used to be an original artist made by tomatoes. Later, he left his job alone, but now he is doing well as a freelance original artist.
Bai Haoran's video does not have fancy editing, only analyzes the work, theoretically explains the composition of the picture, the use of the lens, and the differences in brushstrokes. This kind of video is of no interest to lay people and is boring, but for original artists like Chen Muzhi, it is valuable information that can inspire.
Every original painter has his own painting habits and his own unique secrets. It’s not that they don’t want to tell others, but this kind of technical things cannot be told through words and can only be taught by example. For Chen Muzhi, Bai Haoran’s analysis is a mirror that can compare with his own ideas, from which he can discover his shortcomings and improve them.
After watching Bai Haoran's recent video about the commentary of "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan", Chen Muzhi felt that he had a little more experience with the performance. He took a shower, took a bottle of soda from the refrigerator, and sat in front of the computer waiting for the fourth episode of "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" to be broadcast.
The senior sister in the previous episode also scared Chen Muzhi. He never expected that Xu Rui would dare to add such elements to the theme of Magic Girl. But after being shocked, he savored it and felt that this stroke was very exquisite.
Chen Muzhi has to watch every episode of "The Magic Girl Xiaoyuan", and analyzes the performance techniques, composition methods and camera use. At the beginning, Chen Muzhi only thought it was ordinary, but the more he watched it, the more surprised he became.
Because every frame of this animation and every object appearing contains a lot of metaphors, after experiencing this, Chen Muzhi has gained new things every time he sees it. For him, "The Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" is like a treasure house, which contains infinite knowledge.
The fourth episode was broadcast on time. Compared with the 50,000 people online in the third episode, the number of people online in the fourth episode has reached 170,000, which is more than tripled. When the first episode was broadcast, the number of people watching within an hour was only 200,000.
Looking at the growing numbers, Chen Muzhi blocked all the barrage and watched them in full screen.
The story puts the main perspective on Xiang Shaye. She has been silently serving the disabled boy, but has been criticized by others. At the same time, after experiencing the death of senior Ma Xingmei, Xiang Shaye and Lu Muyuan are both extremely depressed.
They found that no one noticed the death of senior Ma Xingmei. She was as if she had been erased from the world by an eraser, and no one remembered her existence.
Lu Muyuan felt a little scared. If she became a magical girl and died in the battle with the witch, would anyone else forget her existence?
The plot is interrupted, and Xiao Yan and Lu Muyuan are walking on the road. Lu Muyuan expressed his concerns, but Xiao Yan disagreed.
"This is a common thing. Ma Xingmei also fights with such awareness. This is the ending that the magic girl has to face."
"This is so miserable. It's obviously because I've been fighting alone for everyone, but it's finally forgotten by everyone..."
Lu Muyuan's tears fell, she said.
"It is because of such a contract that we can gain strength and not fight for others but for our own wishes. Even if no one will find out, even if we are forgotten, there is nothing we can do about it."
Xiao Yan said coldly, in Lu Muyuan's view, there was no emotion.
“I will remember.”
Lu Muyuan's words made Xiao Yan raise his head.
"I will never forget the matter of Senior Ma Xingmei, absolutely not."
"Is that true? If you think so, Ma Xingmei will be very happy."
Turning around, Xiao Yan said as if he was inadvertently.
“Enviously happy.”
"I will never forget Xiao Yan. I will never forget the kindness you saved me yesterday."
When Xiao Yan heard Lu Muyuan's words, the first time Xiao Yan was a little shaken. She turned around at a forty-five degrees and said softly.
"You are so kind, Lu Muyuan, this kindness may also bring greater sorrow."
The whole first half of the plot is a sad atmosphere. The magical girls are carrying a huge mission to fight against the witch, but in the end no one remembers it, which makes Chen Muzhi quite moved.
Lu Muyuan was walking on the road, but was soon caught in the witch's barrier. In the midst of danger, a blue figure appeared and cut down all the monsters trying to tear Lu Muyuan apart.
It turned out that this was her classmate, Xiang Shaye.
Unlike Ma Xingmei who uses muskets and Xiao Yan who uses modern weapons, Xiang Shaye holds a long sword in his hand and looks heroic.
She used her gorgeous sword skills to quickly resolve the enemy, but Xiang Shaye was a little confident in front of Lu Muyuan.
"This part of the painting is very strong, with the style of the last episode of "Soul Devouring: Zero".
Chen Muzhi saw the iconic Guo block and explosion. This sword fight scene was obviously made by Guo Weiren. It was probably just a pleasure to laymen. In Chen Muzhi's opinion, this was simply a textbook fight scene.
After dealing with the witch, Xiang Shaye faced Lu Muyuan's inquiry, but showed the joke-like smile that he used to be, as if he was just a random move to become a magic girl. The heavy fate behind this back no longer existed.
Xiao Yan came late, but told Shaye that she would protect Lu Muyuan and the city in the future. Xiao Yan was silent and turned around and left.
The ending song was still singing like a sing. Chen Muzhi was still not satisfied. He was about to drag the progress bar to the front, and opened the barrage and looked at it again, and the picture suddenly changed.
On the tall substation tower, a girl was sitting in an unsightly position, while Cupi was persuading her to leave here, because a new magical girl had been born and she would protect the city.
But the girl with long crimson hair floating in the air bit the Bacchi stick in her hand and said.
"Then, there is only one answer."
The corners of her mouth were raised, showing a terrifying feeling under the moonlight.
"Just fix it, just put that girl."
Seeing this scene, Chen Muzhi, who originally wanted to drag the mouse, was stunned.
According to the speculations of many people, including Bai Haoran, there should be a competitive relationship between the magical girls, but Chen Muzhi did not expect that the plot would advance so quickly, and the newly-appeared magical girls seemed to be quite used to such fighting.
“This animation is really not simple…”
Chen Muzhi sighed sincerely.
Such a cruel plot combined with the title of this episode made him feel the malice of the world.
