Two small things happened in May that were insignificant to the industry.

The first is that Phantom Animation announced that its new character will be the famous cartoonist Shuhai Sensei, who has been closed for a long time, which makes people look forward to this work that has not even been revealed.

The second is the Ningjiang Division of Toy Times Group, a well-known model company, that fired an unknown designer.

In the middle of May, the weather became hotter and hotter, the summer in Ningjiang was humid and muggy, the whole city was like a big steamer, and the phantom animation turned on the air conditioner early, which made people get a little comfort in the summer.

Xu Rui has completed the script for three episodes and the performance of the first two episodes, and is working on the script for the third and most important episode, he finished the A part, stopped the pen in his hand, opened the web page and browsed it casually to relax his brain.

Xu Rui soon saw the announcement of the Ningjiang Division of the Toy Times Group on Weibo about the discontinuation of a series of models forwarded by others, which was originally an ordinary announcement, but Xu Rui laughed dumbly when he saw the picture below.

Because this model called the "Unknown Nightmare" series is the model that Cheng Ke had received an animation plan before, the indescribable model, Xu Rui didn't take this list at that time, it seems wise, otherwise I'm afraid that half of the animation will be withdrawn by the investor.

Because of this relationship, Xu Rui couldn't help but pay more attention to this news.

He searched and found that there are two product lines of models produced by Toy Times Group, one is realistic models such as sports cars, airplanes, ships, etc., and the other is completely original fantasy models, including robots, spaceships, etc.

The "Nightmare of the Unknown" series is a fantasy model, this series constructs a crazy worldview, all kinds of terrifying and unspeakable creatures dominate the world, and humans are nothing more than small and insignificant beings in it, these monsters don't even realize that their breath will destroy the planet, destroy you, and what does it have to do with you.

This did not harmonize with the bright style of the heroes and fantasy before the toy age, and although it was well received by a small number of hardcore people, it could not save the sales of the series models, so it was discontinued, and designer Hollow resigned.

"Isn't it true that these models won't have nightmares when they are bought?"

Xu Rui smiled, and suddenly, he seemed to think of something and looked at his script.

In addition to the cute characters in "Madoka Magical Girl", there is another link that is also very important in the design, that is, the witch.

The witch is a desperate magical girl in the setting of the animation world.,Each witch has its own characteristics.,In the original animation,The painting style of these witches is different from the general animation.,It's extremely unique.,Xu Rui originally wanted to restore this style of the original painting.,Although there is a gap.,But it should be acceptable.。

Now seeing this "Unknown Nightmare" series, Xu Rui suddenly had an idea, if he found this designer to design the witch, there might be some incredible chemical reaction.

This indescribable design style is similar to the Cthulhu Mythos system on Earth, but in this world, this evil god monster is just a small niche of the minority, and the Cthulhu Mythos system is impossible to talk about at all.

Xu Rui had a mischievous idea, and he quickly found the contact information of the designer Holofe and picked up his phone.

......

In 1919 Bar Row, Holofey was in a pub with his head down.

It's been almost a week since he was expelled, and for the past few days he has been coming to the bar every day from daytime to get drunk, and only returning home shivering late at night.

Holofey had previously dominated several superhero series models, which were quite popular, and his own status within the company rose to prominence.

But what he didn't know was that his prominence had hindered many people in the company, including some who had already formed a faction, and everyone was expecting Hollow to fall.

I didn't expect Holofey to really make a mistake by himself.

In fact, he has always had some crazy thoughts in his heart, Hollow often has nightmares, in which he will see those unspeakable monsters, he has conceived a world, a crazy world, since he was a student, and wants to bring it to life.

Of course, this is not to say that Hollowe is psychopathic, he knows very well that only imagination can construct such madness, and it is precisely because it cannot exist in reality that he finds solace in fiction.

It's a pity that there are very few people who can resonate with Hollow Fee, and the "Unknown Nightmare", a project he has devoted himself to, is very popular, which eventually led to him being ostracized by the rest of the company and finally fired.

He submitted several resumes after leaving, but after all, Toy Age is the largest model company in China, and other small companies either dare not accept Holofe, or think that Holofe's arrival will shake the original leadership position, so they all reject his resume.

Huo Luofei is not a native of Ningjiang, and he still has some savings in the past few years, but if he can't find a job for another two months, I'm afraid he will really have to pack up his baggage and go back to his hometown.

The bar is relatively quiet, with food and drink, and even a resident singer in the evenings, and Hollowe feels like he's back home, pouring his beer and feeling slightly drunk.

At this time, his cell phone rang.

Holofe looked at the phone number, he didn't recognize, and he didn't press it as before, but connected the phone.

"Hello? I don't have the money to buy a shop, I don't have to run broadband, and I won't pay you, so that's ......."

As soon as he finished speaking and was about to hang up, he heard the words coming from his phone.

After listening vaguely for a while, Huo Luofei suddenly stood up, his whole body trembled, and he was suddenly full of energy.

"Really? yes, uh, I don't have any plans just yet, um, okay, okay, I see. ”

He nodded repeatedly, then put down his phone.

"What's wrong?"

It was the first time that the bartender wiping the cup had seen Hollow in such good spirits, and he asked.

"I'll leave first today, thank you for the past few days, I'll put the money here for you."

Holofe put down the money and immediately jumped out of the bar.
