Although Ye Lingxing still has the contact information of his former team members, it is still unknown how many people he can find in the end.

Let some of them who have already entered the workforce give up their current stable work environment and try such a ...... An animation adaptation project that should be named "wonderful" is really unlikely.

Some of us who are still students have a lot of free time, but unfortunately some of them are busy with their studies and find it difficult to devote themselves to production.

And most importantly –

"They're thinking more than they were a year ago. Ye Lingxing made such a summary.

Driven by the Youth Innovation Award and the simple emotion of "wanting to make a good animation", they can try a new expression with passion and ignore other real-world problems, to show a story that seems to have a deep meaning.

But not anymore.

Profit replaces pure creative sentiment and becomes the new driving core.

An innovative animated story based on an unknown stream-of-consciousness text?

Looking at it makes people feel uncertain about the future.

There are not enough benefits, there are not enough reasons, why should they come to the production of this animation?

- Still without getting too much benefit.

Ye Lingxing did not analyze the reason for this tirade, he said simply and straightforwardly: "Only by giving money can you poach people." ”

Guan Li's response to this was more simple and straightforward: "No money." ”

Ye Lingxing: "......" has no money, what animation do you do!

And not everyone is idle all day long like him, nothing but thinking about suicide is thinking about life.

Everyone else is meant to live.

"But I still don't have any money. ”

Guan Li has a ruler in his heart that measures the price he can pay for each Foundation project.

SCP-3999, as a non-heritage item, does not have much overlap with other archives, and does not have a "normal" archive that directly affects the setting of the Foundation as a whole, so it does not have much value for the "SCP Foundation culture".

Willing to select it from thousands of SCP projects as a pioneer in Foundation animated adaptations, all simply because of "liking".

- Guan Li likes the style of SCP-3999 and the emotions it expresses.

But that doesn't justify pouring money all over 3999.

He is well aware that "the best way to produce it is to restore the bizarre sense of collapse despair and surreal texture of the original document, and this kind of work that strongly expresses personal emotions is of course 'excellent', but what about the commercial value?"

Ye Lingxing: "...... Let's change the subject. "The commercial value is mostly worrying.

This is something that can be understood without deep thinking.

After a brief discussion, they finally decided to go with the flow.

- If you can pull back a few of them, you can pull them back, and if you don't want to participate, forget it.

Animation is to be done after all, and there are many talents who do animation.

"I can't do it alone. Ye Lingxing said, "It's just very slow." ”

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry. Guan Li waved his hand, "As long as you don't do half of it and die, it's all easy to say." ”

"Is this a curse?"

"It's a blessing. ”

“......”

It wasn't until the exchange came to an end that he was already standing outside the door, and Guan Li realized that he hadn't stayed at Ye Lingxing's house for long.

It's good to talk to smart people, you don't have to go around in circles at all, and how much time is saved.

The goal of this trip has been achieved, and it can be said that it is smooth sailing.

And all that's left to do is wait......

During the descent from the stairs, the phone rang.

When I picked it up, I saw that the person who made the noise was the Cthulhu painter "Black Gold" he had found a few days ago.

The message from the other party automatically appears at the top of all the conversations because of the recent time - "The first setting art is almost finished, can you see that the style is okay?"

The text is followed by a staggeringly large image file.

Guan Li replied with a "I'll take a look", and stood in the corridor and clicked "Download File".

On the other side, inside the door only a few steps away, Ye Lingxing, who was chatting with Guan Li just now, had already put away all his expressions.

He didn't have to keep smiling when no outsiders were present.

After taking the two cups that were not used at all and were more decorative than filling water, Ye Lingxing returned to the sofa and continued to be in a daze.

There was still some time before noon, and he could still waste about half an hour thinking about life.

- It was a morning that I didn't expect at all: an uninvited guest came with a work that could not be refused, and behind the unhesitating determination was a confused soul similar to himself.

There is a feeling of meeting a kind.

"He must have killed himself, too. Today's Ye Lingxing, as always, was talking to himself.

"I heard the sound of a collapse of reason. After carefully looking at the paintings, Guan Li gave a rather high evaluation.

For Cthulhu's work, "the intellect that makes people doubt themselves" is undoubtedly the soul.

But—"What are you drawing here?"

The chaotic composition and the large shadows, the hazy brushstrokes splash out the obscure forms under the chaos, and even the few rays of light that leak out of the cracks are like the eyes of someone watching the world......

Everything is unreal, everything is reverie, everything touches on fear.

What kind of new impressionist painting is this?!

Black Gold: "Schematics." ”

Divine Will: "What's the blueprint?"

Black Gold: "This is the Cthulhu universe I imagined!"

Divine Will: "A lump of different shades of black?"

Black Gold: "I'm still a colorful black...... Don't you think there's a lot of Cthulhu's essence, the unsearchable shadows, the gods on the back side of the world, the existence beyond the universe...... I painted all the imagery and the senses into it!"

Divine Will: "But this is not a setting map, what I need is to draw a specific form of setting according to the description of 'God', setting!"

Black gold: "It can be ...... as an impression"

God's will: "If you continue to mess around like this, I won't give money." ”

It's not good to find a creative artist, because the other party may be inspired to draw something while drawing.

Brain: I want to draw a detailed set art.

Hand: No, you don't want to.

Black Gold: "......"

Heijin thinks it's better to suppress his disobedient hands, after all, money is more important, "Okay, okay, I'll redraw...... Do you want this one more?"

"This one...... Change it. "Although it does not meet the original conditions of the relationship, it is not useless," the top and bottom of the picture can be stitched. ”

It's a long picture with a unified style, and it can be spliced in an infinite loop after processing it.

It's a great fit as a basemap for your website.

Black Gold: "No problem!"

Seeing Heijin's account go dark, I guessed that I was going to continue painting.

It's really hard, I hope his liver is okay.
