Chapter 084.
Wu Yi's hair was so messy that he hadn't taken care of for many days. He was unshaven, wearing a not-formal T-shirt, shorts, and hole-shoes on his feet. He looked more like an uncle who went to the supermarket to buy cigarettes than an animation director.
"The new animation of Fantasy Electric seems to be very interesting."
Wu Yi said that Xu Rui did not hear the meaning of joking from his tone, but only praise from the heart.
"It's a pity that it probably can't play on the tomato."
Xu Rui spread his hands as if helplessly and said.
"I'm sorry, I heard this from some colleagues. I'm just a little director and can't interfere with too many things."
Wu Yi was a little regretful. After learning about the website's countermeasures, he expressed his objection, because Wu Yi really wanted to compete with Xu Rui on the same platform. As he said in the interview, among the directors of the same generation, Wu Yi believed that his opponent was only Xu Rui. The two chatted casually, and Xu Rui found that some of the opinions of this Wu Yi director were indeed quite innovative. It can only be said that he could reach the position of director from the animation industry with a serious seniority system in such a short period of time, not just luck.
However, the two new star directors were too dazzling, and soon some people gathered next to them to watch the fun, so they had to say goodbye after leaving their contact information.
When Xu Rui returned to the comic exhibition venue, he saw a cartoon clip he had never seen before playing on the booth of Tomato Video. After taking a closer look, he realized that this was the trailer for Wu Yi's new work "Wolf and Cat".
Judging from the trailer, this is a slightly different superhero movie. The world view is set in the near future. The existence of superpowers has been known to the public. Superheroes born in order to deal with superpower crimes not only need to punish criminals, but also need to show their own strength to the public. In order to maintain the daily life of superheroes, they took on advertisements like stars, and their combat uniforms have many well-known trademarks.
The protagonist of the story is a superhero who has worked for many years and is about to retire. His nickname is "Lone Wolf". He not only has to worry about saving the world, but also needs to solve family problems such as his daughter and divorced wife during the rebellious period. The new partner sent by the association is a handsome boy nicknamed "Orange Cat". He has different opinions from the protagonist. The two solve one incident after another while quarreling.
As the martial arts director said, this is a superhero-themed animation, but unlike the previous setting, this animation has made many innovations in the image of a hero and the relationship between society, which makes people feel full of expectations. The character adopts the character design of the famous cartoonist Shinbian, which is beautiful and charming.
More importantly, all the sponsors in the work actually exist. I'm afraid they are investors of the production committee. The sufficient funds make this animation full of money. The pictures are so exquisite that the theater animation is as good as the level of battle scenes.
From setting, story, to production, this animation is full of words that the animation of the year is about to be next year.
Xu Rui left the booth of Tomato Video Network and was preparing to meet at the booth of Soren Music that he had made an appointment with Yi Qianqian and Su Liyu.
He walked through the fan area and vaguely saw that there was a long queue in front of the barrage game booth of Zhou Zun, who was still unknown last year. The new work "Fantasy Red Devils" seemed to have received extremely high praise.
Seeing that Zhou Zun was very busy, Xu Rui did not bother him and prepared to go and take a look later.
Just as Xu Rui squeezed out of the crowd and finally arrived in front of a relatively empty stall, a voice stopped him.
"My guy, 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-sleeved shirt, a dark long skirt, and glasses, which looked like a literary girl.
"Sorry, I... forget it, I still have time, let's take a look."
Xu Rui wanted to refuse, but after looking at his phone, he was still twenty minutes away from the agreed time, so he stopped to take a look. After all, with Zhou Zun's example in front of him, maybe Xu Rui could find some good seedlings.
"Ah, it's great, Awu, I'm picking up the customer."
The literary girl immediately smiled and patted the boy who was dozing beside her.
Both of them looked young, and they were probably less than twenty years old. There were no customers in front of their stalls, and they were deserted.
"Don't use misunderstood words like picking up customers, okay."
The boy called Awu looked up and saw Xu Rui, and only felt that the other person looked 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, commonly known as electronic novels. It consists of background, character painting, and text. Some have options, and some of them are the simplest to develop this game. It only requires a painter, a script, and a program. There are fool tutorials online, and even junior high school students can learn it.
There are countless stalls for this kind of game being made at comic exhibitions, and the stall in front of you is one of them.
After looking at the game's brochure and trying it out for a while, Xu Rui found that the game looked familiar.
The protagonist of the game is a high school student who had been recuperating before and suddenly received a letter to live in a big city. One day, he met a girl who called herself a vampire. Under some impulse, he killed the vampire girl, but found that the other party had come back from the dead and came to the door. As a result, the protagonist unfolded a strange urban legend.
The music of the game is simple and there is no dubbing. The characters' lines are very simple, but after watching a few characters, I can't help but feel that the face is a bit repetitive.
There are some routines at the beginning of the story, but the subsequent settings are quite different from the story. The text of the script is full of heterogeneity. It feels a bit awkward when you read it at first, but it feels unexpectedly after accepting it.
"Are you students?"
Xu Rui asked.
"Yes, we are junior students at Ningjiang University. My name is Xu Rong, I am from the Chinese Department. His name is Zhu Wuhang, and I am from the Academy of Fine Arts."
The girl replied, "She was a little careless and ignored."
"Hey, then we are still alumni. I graduated from the Animation Academy last year."
"Wow, I remember the animation academy very well last year."
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 are from Ningjiang and have been neighbors since childhood. They have been classmates from the same school since kindergarten to university. After entering university, they formed a fan club called broom. This text adventure game is their first work.
Xu Rong also showed Xu Rui the trailer for their next work. It was a story about a girl who accidentally met several magicians who summoned powerful undead to fight and broke into this war. The setting was in line with this work, but according to the current sales situation, it was probably a death to the womb.
"I was in charge of the script. He came to draw and program. The game was done last year, but we didn't get a stall at that time. We were unwilling to give up and waited until we won the lottery this year before we came to sell it. However, hehe, it doesn't look very popular."
Xu Rong said, and she looked at the team at the Zhou Zun stall in the distance with a little enviousness.
"It would be great if we could go from being anonymous to a big hit like the Fantasy series, but unfortunately there are not many fan clubs like this."
Hearing her words, Xu Rui looked at the game they sold called "Princess of the Moon". After paying for one, he asked for paper and pen, wrote down a contact information and handed it to the two of them.
"I am very interested in your game. If you want, I can sponsor and invest in it. You can come to this address later to find me. There is also my phone number here. I have an appointment, so I will leave first."
Xu Rui said, and after waving his hand, he said as if he remembered something.
"By the way, for your new work, I think it would be better to change the genders of the male and female protagonists?"
"Ah? Uh..."
After taking the note, Xu Rong was still thinking about a proposal to change the protagonist's gender. She watched the other party leave before moving her eyes back to the note.
"Seo Rui...the graduate of last year...ah, Seo Rui from Fantasy Electric Animation!!?"
Chapter completed!
