Before coming, Ye Lingxing also learned about the current situation of SIN.

The animation company is facing a well-known dilemma: the genre they stick to is gradually being abandoned by the times.

"Actually, it can't be said to be abandoned, but the mainstream trend is straightforward. Someone commented, "It's like this all over the world." ”

Therefore, SIN has fewer and fewer options in adaptation, until there is simply no sufficient quality of the original role to continue.

The outside world has long made predictions about SIN "either retreat or change style", but the real insiders are quite optimistic.

"It's really not possible for us to do original animation, I thought it would be original after the end of "Lockheart", but I didn't expect there to be SCP. Yang Xi's tone couldn't tell whether it was regret or surprise, as long as there was animation to do, she was quite happy.

After taking Ye Lingxing through the living land and work area, she finally returned to the original starting point, "This is my teacher, Sun Zhiyuan, who first came up with the idea of adapting the SCP file. If there are no accidents, 1733 animation will also let the teacher direct. ”

"Last year's Youth Innovation Award gave me a big surprise, at that time we were still talking about how long it will take you to grow up, but I didn't expect that after just over a year, such works appeared. Sun Zhiyuan said with a smile, looking at Ye Lingxing with undisguised appreciation in his eyes.

He is in his forties and has been working in animation for nearly three decades, so he can be said to be a veteran who has watched the industry rise from the bottom to the top.

Longer than the past is the insistence on a consistent style that has never faded through the wind and rain.

"I've seen all of your works, but my favorites are Eternal Hellland and The Wish of the God of the End...... They almost changed my outlook on life!" Ye Lingxing's tone trembled a little.

It is difficult for him to maintain his composure, not only because of the works and industry influences represented by the people in front of him, but also because of the shock and inspiration of those works.

"Life, like a bloody night, is shrouded in darkness, and those perseverance that is passed down in the shadows become light. ”

The essence of existence is killing and plundering, and if the love and compassion born on it can be called light......

What kind of darkness will the hatred and malice of the injured become?

In that hellish world, there are still people who have forged a paradise with their last mercy.

2005's "Eternal Paradise" is Sun Zhiyuan's first animation directed independently, and it is also his famous work.

It was also in that year that the 33-year-old Sun Zhiyuan finally found his long-overdue direction in life and clarified the path he would take in the future.

SIN is a company that is passionate about exposing the darkness of reality, and he has been here for more than ten years, and he has also painted the darkness of human nature for more than ten years.

"Then I thought...... Let's have some light. When asked about the idea behind the production of "Eternal Paradise", he replied, "Those authors must have written books with that in mind." ”

Write a world stained with sin, and ignite the light of the remaining goodwill.

"Animation is such a thing, isn't it? From now on, I hope it will always shine on people's hearts. ”

Thus heaven was born in hell, and sacrifice became its cornerstone, and pain adorned its walls.

- Even if you know that it is worthless, you still call for love in this muddy world, and even if you know that it is meaningless, you must pray for time to spend with you.

This is the direction Sun Zhiyuan decided to take, and it is also another meaning of the existence of "evil aesthetics" in the world.

"Eternal Hellland" is his first attempt, and the theme is still too shallow, compared to the treatment in "The Wish of the End God".

This is a rare long-form series of animations that SIN has not been removed from the shelves in China, telling the last wish of the last god in the world.

- "The moment the stars defected to the heavens, could they inject an unexpected wish into the shape of my soul?" ”

At a time when the gods were lost in nothingness with faith, the last god made a wish to the world before he died: "Please let the body of my soul be dominated by the people, please fulfill all their pleas, please trust in the choices of mankind, please forgive ......"

One day, humanity will kill the gods and forget all fears.

But even so...... Let's go on the journey, the most pampered children.

When His will is extinguished, the power left behind by God begins to travel the world, answering people's prayers and desires.

Whether the cause is good or evil, that power will conform to the hearts of the people and become their weapon.

The story is composed of one such unit drama.

The third season of "The Last God's Wish" ended two years ago, and Son Ji-won began to prepare for his own original work while looking for a suitable adaptation.

Luckily or unfortunately, he found it before the original project was fully revealed.

"SCP Foundation", the ruthless alien world and the still warm hearts of ordinary people, the sacrifice of the few that must be fulfilled in order to protect more people - "Necessary Evil".

The evil that has to be committed because of great goodness is like a flower struggling to bloom at the end of a cliff, showing a pitiful despair.

SCP-231-Special Personal Needs, embodies this contradictory tension.

Malicious speculation alternates with the resulting guilt, causing human reason to abandon and escape from self-desire.

Just like the theme of the "Crimson King" series that started with it -

We, the self-proclaimed higher beings of modern intelligent civilization, shy away from the ignorance and savagery of the distant past, but the primitive desires that lie deep in our nature, the thing called "pre-modernity," have never left.

Sun Zhiyuan has been optimistic about 231 from the beginning, and after learning of the existence of the "Crimson King", his evaluation of this series of articles has risen sharply.

It's false to say that he doesn't want to do it, but he is also very aware of SIN's current situation.

It's not just a question of whether you can do it, it's a question of whether you can get back to your original cost after investing a lot of effort to make it.

SIN's financial situation this year is not very good, and in the case that "Original Sinist" was taken off the shelves less than a day after its launch, the next few works may directly determine the survival of the entire company.

The theme of "Lockheart Beast" is already very dangerous, and there will be a 100% 404 "Crimson King......

Sure enough, SCP-1733-Season is safer.

Moreover, as long as everything goes well with 1733's animation, it is not impossible for SIN and SCP to continue to work together on the "Crimson King" series.

Well, the premise is that "everything goes well", it is best not to have any friction, and it should be done smoothly, and the broadcast will start safely.

Therefore, Sun Zhiyuan's attitude towards Ye Lingxing is very good, and he has no arrogance at all:

"Don't treat me like an old-timer, just say it if you have an idea. ”

"The previous works, no matter what those old yellow calendars do, the future is more important. To do animation is to keep up with the times, and people can't get old when they're old. ”

"You know more about SCPs than I do, right? ”

"This idea is very good! Yang Xi, you look at others, and then look at yourself, and you are lazy all day long and don't practice......

Yang Xi, who was scolded for no reason, hurriedly walked away, "I suddenly remembered that there was still a picture that had not been drawn, you chat, I will leave first." ”

Ye Lingxing: "......"
