Not everyone watched the phantom animation "Unnatural Death" for the first time, but at least most families with students at home watched it.

Starting the next day, Weibo and forums, major social platforms, and even some people who don't usually watch animation began to discuss "Unnatural Death".

Without him, it's all because this animation is so good-looking.

On Weibo, the popularity of unnatural deaths continued to climb, and soon reached the top three positions on the hot search list, second only to the birthday and concert entries of the two little fresh meats.

And most of the reviews are praising the anime.

[Long-winded sheep]: I was originally supervising my son's feelings after reading and writing, and I have forgotten my original purpose when I see it, this animation is different from many of the animations I have been exposed to before, it is very exquisitely made, the picture is excellent, and more importantly, the story is told so well, even better than many movies and television that have invested a lot, I really hope that there will be more such works in the future.

[Fried Chicken Beer]: This short forty-minute animation is nested with three stories, the relationship between Xiao Xiao, who is a forensic intern, and his father, who is a doctor, the old man who is unwilling to admit that his wife has died, and the most important seemingly vicious gangster Chen Shanquan and his parents, and the people on the commercial street, the three stories tell the same theme, all of them are the story of going home, which is wonderful.

[Qingyu]: I haven't been home for three years, working hard alone in a big city, sometimes I'm really tired, but at this age, only when I come out to have more opportunities, I miss my parents very much, I heard others talk about watching the replay, alas, after reading it, I immediately called home, and I cried without saying anything, and my dad told me that if I can't hold on, go home, alas, now my mind is very messy, I don't know what to do.

[KR765]: Who knows the hard work of the study abroad party, alas, every time I see others drying their Chinese New Year's Eve dinner during the New Year, I can only spend it alone, not to mention, I will return to China after reading this year.

[Zero Degree Without Ice]: Originally, I didn't expect much from this series of animations, after all, everyone saw it like that in the first few episodes, I really didn't expect this fourth episode to have such a high quality, even in a short period of time, the production team also successfully portrayed many characters with rich personalities through performances, and it is hard to imagine that this is the work of a new company.

[Shepherd of the Library]: Extremely realistic picture, forbearance contains rippling emotions, bit by bit deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, this story is not a strong adventure, nor does it show the darkness of human nature, but like spring rain moisturizing things silently, I haven't shed tears for a long time, because I understand that stories are always just stories, but this work has made me break this idea, I now feel that some stories, maybe not just stories, but also you and me who are running around in this world.

[Frost Leaf Red]: I endured tears for a long time, but I couldn't stand it at all the moment the ending song sounded, this story is like a lemon, sour, bitter, but with a hint of freshness, I'm glad I watched this animation.

The ending song "Lemon" is sung by Su Liyu, her voice is innocent and pure, shallow singing, which makes this melodic song with a bit of clear texture, and with the plot, it is moving, which can be said to hit people's hearts.

On the music search chart, "Lemon" quickly climbed to the first place, Suo Ren Music Company was in charge of recording before, and at this time it was also very smart to put Su Liyu's single album on the shelves for sale, and in just one day, it reached 350,000 paid downloads, which is close to the data of many well-known singers when they released their latest albums.

Because "Unnatural Death" is broadcast in prime time and is an official promotional film, the audience doesn't know how high it is compared to the animation played on video sites, so the spread of this song is also quite wide.

Tomato Video soon had cover videos on the Internet, but it always made people feel that something was missing, not as good as the original song, and for a while, "Lemon" was played in a loop in major shopping malls.

At the morning meeting of tomato manufacturing, the leaders of several groups were sitting in the conference room, and the atmosphere was slightly solemn.

This meeting included the directors of each group, the head of the original painting group, etc., and the leader of the original painting group of Chen Muzhi's group asked for leave today, and he attended on his behalf.

At one end of the long table, a man in a bald suit was sitting on a sofa chair with a serious expression.

He is Fang Yuan, the top boss of the animation production department of Tomato Video Network, who can be regarded as the direct person in charge of Tomato Manufacturing and Rainbow Media, and also serves as the leader of Tomato Video Network's animation-related business.

"Have you watched the previous "Unnatural Death"?"

Fang Yuan's voice couldn't hear any emotion, it was like an ordinary inquiry about what he had eaten this morning.

After receiving a nod from the crowd, he asked again.

"What do you guys think of this anime?"

Hearing the leader's question, everyone looked at each other, speculating about what kind of answer he wanted to hear.

"Lao Huang, tell me about it."

Fang Yuan looked at the person closest to the left, this was Huang Qiu from the Rainbow Media group, his previous production of "The Boy Looking Up at the Sky and the Different World Reflected in the Pupils" was tragically Waterloo, but he still couldn't deny his more than ten years of seniority in Rainbow Media.

"Well, this animation, the production is very good, mainly because the story is well told, but there are some flaws."

He said a few comments that can be applied to any work, and I don't know if I have really seen it.

"I think it's a good picture, it uses realistic light and shadow, and although it can't use some of the usual methods of animation in terms of expression, it expands the audience."

Shen Binfeng, the boss of the tomato manufacturing group, saw that Huang Qiu had already opened his mouth, so he also continued, speaking in more detail.

Everyone gossiped and spoke in a circle.

In the end, everyone looked at Wu Yi at the farthest point of the long table, he was the youngest director among them.

"Wuyi, what do you think?"

Fang Yuan asked expressionlessly.

"I think if this is a regular twelve-episode anime and it is broadcast on a video website or TV station, I probably won't get the Animation of the Year award this year."

He said lightly.

Hearing Wuyi's words, Chen Muzhi looked at the others, and everyone had a similar reaction.

This kid is crazy.

The word martial arts has two meanings, one is that the production level of "Unnatural Death" is quite high, but because this kind of short animation does not participate in the annual animation selection, it does not constitute a direct competition with martial arts.

The second is that he thinks that this year's animation of the year is a certainty, and other competitors can't shake it at all, even the extremely popular fantasy animation "Soul Eater: Zero".

After the martial arts finished speaking, Fang Yuan's expression softened slightly, and then he spoke.

"Which team is in charge of this series of promotional videos? You look at the level of other people's production, and then look at what kind of garbage you make? I received a call this morning, praising "Unnatural Death" by name and asking me why the animation produced by the largest animation production company in China is inferior to that of a new company. ”

His words made the leader of the second tomato manufacturing group stunned and did not dare to answer.

"The bonus of the second tomato group this quarter will be cancelled, so let you remember it for a long time and end the meeting."

Fang Yuan knocked on the table and said lightly.

Then, as if remembering something, he looked at his phone, and then his expression froze.

Because Xu Rui, the director of the phantom animation that produced "Unnatural Death", is the person he did not hesitate to recruit with an offer from Rainbow Media.
