The Creator of the Second Dimension

The history of idol animation is not long. In China, although there used to be combat animations similar to the transformation of beautiful girls, the serious "idol animation" with singing and dancing has only appeared in recent years. .

In the past, the otaku who indulged in the two-dimensional paper people and the star-chasers who pursued young and beautiful girls were obviously incompatible, but the appearance of Hatsune Miku has blurred the boundaries between the two.

Why can't realistic idols and two-dimensional beautiful girls be integrated?

With the popularity of the mobile game "Hatsune Miku: The Idol Master", similar idol animations have gradually increased.

Some describe the idol industry, some simply depict girls who yearn for idols, and even retro idols save the world. These animations are often backed by large companies. While broadcasting, they also introduce the people behind the scenes and make a double debut.

However, in the eyes of many "senior" animation fans, idol animation is not pure enough, more like an idol group commercial.

What kind of school is on the verge of closing down, the girl suddenly awakens, etc., always give people an illusion of unreality.

Therefore, when Fantastic Animation announced the theme of the next animation, many people were surprised.

The news on Weibo is very simple, and no more information is disclosed, but the comments are full of speculation.

[Maple Leaf Is Red]: The second season of "Music Girl" will be finished in September, and the next season will be in April next year. The half year in between is indeed a little free, even if "Your Name" and "Music Girl" movie version It doesn't take a lot of labor to do it. I think this animation is used by Xu Rui to pass the time.

[Forever single push]: I am so excited about idol animation!

[Shen baabaa's footwashing water]: Do you want to be a virtual idol? Or the anime version of Hatsune Miku: The Idolmaster? No, it is said that it is an original animation, it seems that it is not simple.

[Falling into a box]: Produced by Huandian, it must be a high-quality product. I have already paid attention to it, and I will know it when the time comes.

[Coke Chicken Wings]: I still want to see Fantastic Animation make a serious sci-fi work, like "Exciting Psalms". It's always some kind of campus or idol. not enough.

[Dark Watch]: Wait a minute, why do you all agree that this is directed by Xu Rui? What if it is directed by Wu Yi? He has been silent since "The Garden of Words", and maybe he will make a big news .

In the meeting room of Fantastic Animation, Xu Rui is having a meeting with the production staff. This is a pre-planning meeting, mainly to supplement the details after the planning proposal is confirmed, including the determination of the main production staff.

"Qianqian is in charge of the painting director and character design this time, everyone should be fine, right?"

Xu Rui said that Yi Qianqian has almost recovered and is going to return to work in September, but due to the existence of Xiao Xu, Yi Qianqian should be in charge of painting work in the form of working from home.

"Sister Qianqian is going out, it must be fine."

Deng Shixin of the 3D group just got married two months ago, and just came back from his honeymoon two days ago.

"But Boss, although we want to do idol animation, what kind of animation do we want to do? Is it the kind that develops on both sides of reality and virtuality, or is it that the idols make a virtual debut?"

Generally speaking, companies that produce idol animations will involve reality. If the animation becomes popular, then the corresponding voice actors can also debut as idols, complement each other, link up with many real-life plans, and even become the real spokespersons of those virtual characters.

This is the most profitable way. Of course, if you want to do this, you have to start planning in the initial selection. Most of the voice actors choose unknown artists to facilitate future control. Naturally, there are requirements for personal image, and it must meet the personality design.

There was a big news in the industry before. It was a female artist of a certain idol animation. She even announced at the event that she was going to get married soon. Not only was her personal acting career ruined, but also other members of the idol group were also affected. .

"We only do animation."

Xu Rui answered very simply.

Cheng Ke explained this.

"We don't need to think about realistic idol plans, and we don't need to worry about those spin-offs and activities, as long as we do a good animation."

Many idol animations use artists for the image of dubbing personnel. They have not received too professional dubbing training, and they are always somewhat different from serious dubbing actors. This is what Cheng Ke said.

"What I want to do is an idol animation, not an idol group that relies on animation to debut, so all choices will be made to make the animation look better."

Xu Rui said that his requirements for quality have long been known to everyone, and after the policy of this idol animation was determined, the production staff also had a general impression.

This will be a real idol "animation", not an idol group promotional film.

Deng Shixin was stunned for a moment. He felt that the reality idol's plan could be more successful, carry out more activities, and earn more money, but why didn't the boss do it.

But soon Deng Shixin came to his senses. Fantastic animation is not short of money at all. The income of those real idols and the money earned from activities may not be as high as the monthly income of their own games.

That being the case, why do these plans that will affect the quality of the work in order to make money.

It was only here that Deng Shixin fully understood why Xu Rui would do so many things that had little to do with animation besides animation.

Some people questioned before that, as a company that started out as an animation company, the majority of its income is not in animation and video websites, but in games. Now it seems that this is indeed a shrewd arrangement.

Xu Rui earns money by doing things that have nothing to do with animation, in fact, he wants to be more focused when making animation.

Most of the animation companies in the Chinese industry now, except for the phantom animation, are created under the intervention of the production committee. For example, those idol animations planned in reality are also the product of multi-party games such as music companies, brokerage companies, and sponsors.

Even Tomato Video Network's own rainbow media depends on the face of the top management. Wu Yi's departure is the most typical example.

Only by earning enough money can I have the confidence to make the animation I want without being instructed by others!

Xu Rui quickly finalized the person in charge of each link of the project, and no one asked a question until this time.

"Boss, you said it was an idol animation, what kind of idol animation are we going to do, is it a student idol or a professional idol?"

There are only a few routines in idol animation. Abandoning the school and finding someone to participate in the competition, or the company closing down, the idol rises and performs successfully. It is really hard to think of a breakthrough.

Hearing the question, Xu Rui smiled slightly.

"The idol we want to be is a zombie."
