Chapter 068. New in April

In April, spring returns to the earth.

The rising temperature for days makes people feel as if they have suddenly moved from winter to summer, but the sudden cooling has dragged people back to the cold winter, and from time to time there will be a magical scene of down jackets and short sleeves appearing on the street at the same time, and the number of people wearing masks is gradually increasing, and the fickle weather makes people love and hate.

"Iron Magician" finished playing at the end of March, and its ending is talked about, and the martial arts director has no work this season, but his new work already has a promotional image, which is a superhero-themed animation called "Wolf and Cat".

No more specific information has been revealed, but people are speculating about what kind of excitement such an old-fashioned subject matter as superheroes can be performed under the hands of martial arts directors.

In addition, the April animation is also worth looking forward to.

Rainbow Media's "Black Exorcist" is a collection of gorgeous gothic elements, adapted from the popular comic book of "Weekly Twenty-Four Grids", which has attracted much attention.

"White Waves", which loves craft animation, is an animation about mercenaries and killers, and the scenes full of violent aesthetics in the trailer are addictive.

There are also "Monsters" such as Water Fish Animation, which is an animation drawn in the classic ink style, telling the story of monsters, and the unique art style attracts attention; Mushroom Pictures' sports-themed animation "Basketball Boys", adapted from the famous basketball comics of "Weekly Junior Front", the original work is currently one of the pillars of "Weekly Junior Front"; The first animation's "Throne of Thorns", the promotional song of this original animation is extremely amazing, and the setting is also full of fashionable value.

A total of 36 anime aired in April, 50 percent more than the 20 in January, keeping animation lovers completely busy.

"Did you watch last night's "Strange", that story is a little creepy when I think about it now."

Tao Ran from the original painting group of Phantom Electric Animation stretched his waist and asked casually.

"Ah, that's it, indeed, what's more terrifying than a monster is the hearts of people in troubled times."

Gao Senmiao, who was sticking the positioning pin, immediately replied that after the animation of "Soul Eater: Zero" ended, Li Ruoxuan came to the editorial department a lot less, and Gao Senmiao became one of the people who enlivened the atmosphere.

"Xu Yang, have you seen it?"

She poked Xu Yang next door again, and the thin boy paused, then looked away and said.

"I'm not interested in this kind of subject."

"You don't dare to look at this kind of supernatural monster theme."

Gao Senmiao teased, and looked at Xu Rui again.

"Boss, have you seen it?"

When Xu Rui heard this, he put down the manuscript in his hand and replied.

"Watched, to be honest, I really admire the water fish animation, I dared to use the all-ink style to make animation, and it was successful, I really can't underestimate any company."

After he finished speaking, he checked the script in his hand again, this is the performance script of the B part, and in the forty-five minutes of animation, this is the second half, twenty-two and a half minutes of animation.

Since it is a novella animation, Xu Rui uses the script first, then draws the storyboard of the entire animation, and then completes the performance draft of Part A, which is handed over to the next personnel to produce, and he continues to complete the performance draft of Part B.

This is also because Xu Rui knows in his heart, so he can control a forty-five-minute animation with a complete story.

"The script for Part B is done, let's go to the conference room in half an hour for a processing meeting."

Xu Rui said, looking at Yi Qianqian, who was drawing the original painting on the side.

"Hmm."

Yi Qian's shallow hand did not stop, only nodded slightly.

She has three screens, the middle one shows the picture being drawn, which is the scene of a female doctor in a white coat walking through the hallway, on the left is a picture of some reference materials, and on the right, the scene that has been basically designed.

If you don't look closely at this scene, it is easy to mistake it for a photo, but if you look closely, this is the scene in the laboratory of the Forensic Science Research Center of Ningjiang Medical University.

Different from simple photo materials, Xu Rui used the camera to make a 3D model of the laboratory by Deng Shixin, which perfectly restored almost every corner of the laboratory, and the painters could use this model to refer to the past laboratory from various perspectives, avoiding painting mistakes and enhancing realism.

Xu Rui's requirements for this animation are different from "Soul Eater: Zero", if "Soul Eater: Zero" is a purely commercial animation, full of various animation techniques, then this animation about forensic medicine is more realistic.

Xu Rui's standard is a photo-level background, realistic characters and light and shadow, sparing no expense, and striving to do the best.

On the one hand, with the funds provided by the above, he is not short of money at all, on the other hand, he also wants to really squeeze the strength of the current Phantom TV employees, and see what kind of work the current Phantom Animation can complete, so as to lay the foundation for the next animation.

Half an hour later, in the conference room, Xu Rui took out the performance script of Part B.

"This scene is a bit cumbersome, and you may need to find some reference films."

"Wouldn't it be better to move the camera here in a different way?"

"The number of shots in this paragraph may need a lot, after all, it's a climactic plot."

There was a series of discussions in the room, mainly on the painting side, with Xu Rui deciding which parts needed more original drawings to focus on his acting skills, and which parts were less important.

"Speaking of which, at the end of the film, the ending song is inserted here while the plot continues, which is very cinematic."

Yan Zhe said that he had worked in a film and television company for several years before, and he had also been exposed to a lot of film production content.

"Yes, the ending song of the general animation is a card in order to save money, and it is rare to have this kind of work that uses the ending song as the background music, but the plot of the picture continues."

Cheng Ke bowed his head and looked at Xu Rui again.

"Anyway, has this ending song been chosen, according to the current performance draft, this song should have a certain sensational ability, and the melody should be very beautiful, and it will not dominate."

Xu Rui's "To Me Ten Years Later" has become a standing track of KTV after the broadcast of "Soul Eater: Zero", which is popular among young people, and Cheng Ke does not feel that Xu Rui has no idea about the ending song of this animation.

"Yes, I've already completed the preliminary composing work, and all that's left is to arrange the music and find a suitable singer to sing it."

Xu Rui nodded, there was originally the most suitable song, he naturally didn't have to worry about it, he only needed to modify the lyrics slightly to fit the plot.

"Hey, really, really, it turns out that you can still write songs, boss?"

Gao Senmiao's eyes widened and leaned out slightly.

"If you don't dislike it, I'll hear it to you later."

Xu Rui smiled and then said.

"The title of this song is 'Lemon.'"
