The Creator of the Second Dimension

In a world where human beings have pushed the exploration of the world to the limit, finally, in the depths of the ocean, adventurers discovered a huge deep pit and named it Abyss, which means "the abyss".

The Abyss Abyss has a completely different ecology from other regions on the earth. The deeper you go, you will find that it is different. At the same time, there are suspected relics of prehistoric civilizations in the Abyss Abyss. These relics have inexplicable The mysterious power is called "the relic of Abyss".

The mother of the protagonist, Rico, is a well-known great adventurer, but she has been exploring the abyss and has not returned for a long time. One day, Rico, who was exploring in the shallow depths of the Abyss Abyss, met a boy named Lei who was made up of machines all over his body. Ancient, thus, the adventure towards the abyss began.

There is such an outline of the background of the story on the screen, which was obtained by Xu Rui, Mr. Shuhai and other main creators after several meetings.

This animation is a story written to describe the hymn of the courage of "human beings" who continue to explore the "unknown".

Among them, the character design of the characters, and the personality setting of some characters come from Teacher Shuhai. Her long life in comics allows her to accurately grasp the every move of the boys and girls, and outline the protagonists in the abyss with a cute style.

The setting of the creatures, the setting of the town, including the setting of the relics of Abyss came from the hands of Holofer. After receiving Xu Rui's order to "let go and do it", Holofer completely released the I suppressed a lot of creative desires before, and designed a whole set of nearly perfect abyss ecology in just two weeks.

The Abyss Abyss is different from ordinary caves. Every time you descend a certain distance, the ecology will change differently. This is related to the setting of the story. The seven-story Abyss Abyss also has the meaning of the seven western hells.

In the concept design drawing, you can see a huge beast with thorns all over its body, you can see a worm flying in mid-air with no eyes, only a big bloody mouth, and you can see a wonderful shape made of various tentacles kneaded together. biology.

Just looking at these monsters is enough to make people dizzy and confused. They are all designed by Holofer. When put together with the cute characters designed by Mr. Shuhai, they have a perverted aesthetic feeling.

Xu Rui is responsible for the most basic settings and scripts, of course including animation storyboards, which is also what he is best at.

One of the most important settings in the story is the curse of Abyss, which is more like a regional restriction than some kind of mysticism. Specifically, entering the Abyss Abyss from above will not appear Problem, but if you move up vertically in the Abyss Abyss, it will damage your body, mild dizziness and vomiting, severe direct internal bleeding, and even death.

In other words, during the exploration of Abyss, there is only forward, not backward!

Although the two-hour discussion was long, everyone was full of energy at the end, eager to finish the work right away, even the elderly Shuhai teacher, his eyes were shining.

Xu Rui was the last to leave the conference room. He packed his things and returned to his seat.

"By the way, Mr. Xu, "Breath of the Wild" will be released soon, here are some release events, please check."

As soon as he sat down, the person in charge of Hatsune Video Network came over with a few documents.

After a quick glance, Xu Rui circled a few things worthy of attention, and quickly returned them to the other party.

"It's already June."

Next door, Lin Shuyi from the original painting group raised her head from the digital tablet. The painting department of "Your Name" she was in charge of has already been completed, and now she is drawing some joint advertisements that the phantom animation took over, which is relatively free.

"Yes, this summer seems to be a bit busy."

Xu Rui sighed, and glanced at the memo note on his seat.

In June, after the college entrance examination, "Breath of the Wild" was released. The pre-sales of this game with an MC score of 99 were close to 7 million. In other years, this number is enough to hit the annual sales champion.

However, the sales of the two open world games of Hardcore Technology are also very good. The sales volume of "Super Hacker", which was released in December last year and released in January this year, has exceeded 5 million copies. "Legend of Heroes" also has one million pre-orders, which is a strong competitor.

Suo Ren Huyu's own game is an adventure-based action game "Raiders of the Lost Ark", which was developed on the basis of "The Last of Us". The game was released in March, and sales have exceeded 3 million.

Summer vacation and the end of the year are two good times for sales to explode. Whether "Breath of the Wild" can dominate this year depends on the performance of these two quarters.

In addition to the game, the pre-promotion of "A String of Life" has been rolled out. After a series of discussions, it was finally decided to broadcast this documentary in early July. The six-episode documentary will be broadcast once a week, which happens to run through the entire summer vacation.

In addition, on August 16th, "Your Name" will be screened in major theaters across China, which is considered the highlight of the fantasy animation this year.

Relevant publicity has long been released on major social media, and Hatsune Video Network has also launched a video upload program related to "Your Name" to collect manuscripts and stir up the atmosphere in advance.

Even if you don't count the Ningjiang comic exhibition in mid-August, the annual animation conference, and the anniversary of the mobile game, Xu Rui is also very busy this summer.

The college entrance examination is coming as scheduled, and Weibo and QQ groups have started to recall high school life and discuss the composition of the college entrance examination once a year. Various "full score" essays and "zero score" essays emerge in endlessly. For the time being, you don't have to worry about the recent copywriting, just follow the enthusiasm for the college entrance examination and you're done.

Coming out of the examination room, Qin Shanshan still had an unreal feeling. Is it really over? The student life of more than ten years is about to enter a new stage?

She was still in a daze, and she had long forgotten the content of the exams for the past few days in her mind, so she really forgot one of the exams.

A large number of parents and students gathered outside the examination room, some were laughing heartily, some were crying bitterly, and some were eagerly preparing to do something that only "adults" could do.

"Hey, do you want to go to the Internet cafe all night?"

Qin Shanshan heard a boy tell his classmates that even though they were eighteen years old, it was still not convenient for high school students to enter Internet cafes, but now, after the college entrance examination, they were free of this last constraint and determined to have a good night.

Most of the girls are at KTV, while the boys are at Internet cafes. Qin Shanshan met a few classmates she knew, said hello, and then saw Chu Future.

Before she could yell out, Chu Weiwei found her.

The boy showed a sunny smile, trotted over, and said.

"I've pre-ordered Breath of the Wild, let's play tonight."
