At the end of November, the weather is getting cooler.

Han Qingwen stopped his pen and looked away from the monitor.

The work of the original painting is intense and hard, and even though the working environment has changed from pen and paper to digital painting, maintaining the same posture for a long time is still a strain on the shoulders and waist.

Han Qingwen glanced at the office, where everyone else was concentrating on painting, and there was no sound in the office except for the occasional keyboard tap and the tiny rubbing of a pen on a pen tablet.

There is still a month to go before the start of "Once Upon a Time on Earth", and the first concept art team is the busiest.

Xu Rui's requirements for the original painting can be called perverted, paying attention to the details to the explanatory text on the cigarette box, even if it is just a few seconds of information screen, it also makes the person in charge of setting give a detailed reference for painting.

There are generally two styles of animation works in the industry.

The first is from "The Voice of the Stars", "Unnatural Death", "The Garden of Words" and other continuation of the realistic style, the light and shadow, background, and character design of this kind of work are extremely close to reality, and it is also claimed that any screenshot can be used as a wallpaper.

On the other hand, there are typical animation styles such as "Soul Eater: Zero", "Madoka Magical Girl", and "Music Girl", in which the painting tends to be exaggerated and dramatic, showing an art style that is completely different from other video genres such as film.

For example, in the scene of the explosion, the animation in the first style is a splash of smoke fragments that is closer to reality, while in the second style of animation, there may be block-like fragmentation, exaggerated deformation, etc.

Generally speaking, for relatively serious, realistic, and popular works, Xu Rui will choose a realistic style, while for more relaxed, fantasy works, he will choose a typical animation style.

In the animation "Once Upon a Time on Earth", Xu Rui adopted the first style.

This kind of work with a sci-fi texture is involved with civilization and the like, and there is nothing that needs to be treated with the artistic treatment of the animation style, and the realistic style is very reasonable.

But this obviously makes it more difficult to paint.

Han Qingwen felt a little pressured.

Although he has been exposed to similar paintings, it is the first time that he has actually painted a commercial original painting, and he has been painting an original painting for a long time, which is far worse than his predecessors.

If it were placed in other animation companies, which mainly calculated wages based on the number of original paintings, it is estimated that Han Qingwen would have starved to death.

In fact, most animation companies adopt the model that newcomers first mix in animation and other departments for several years, and then gradually get in touch with the original painting, this approach has pros and cons, the advantage is that the original artist trained in this way has more work experience, more mature and stable, and the bad part is probably that many people may leave the industry because of financial difficulties before becoming the original artist.

In the statistics of the past few years, the income of the animation production industry is not proportional to the labor time paid, and the original artists belong to the low-income group.

For example, Han Qingwen, a young man who was selected in his freshman year, has completed the accumulation of experience from animators to concept artists in other companies through several years of contact and internship, and such students can join the original painting work as soon as they graduate.

Just like Han Qingwen, although the painting is slow, the quality of the painting is guaranteed, and maybe only an animation company like Phantom Electric Animation, which is not bad for money and not bad for the construction period, can do this.

Moving his shoulders, he worked until his lunch break, and returned to his seat after lunch with Li Xue before reading the news.

Han Qingwen found that there were 99+ more messages in the university's class group.

This group was active for a while when they first graduated, but gradually fell silent as everyone's work got on track.

There was suddenly so much news today, Han Qingwen felt very strange.

So he opened it and looked at it, because he was too lazy to flip to the top, so Han Qingwen took a casual look.

[He Wei]: It's amazing, I also want to do this kind of animation.

[Xu Kexin]: Who told you not to work hard at the beginning, if you played less games in your freshman year, wouldn't you also enter the phantom electricity?

[Chen Chen]: I went to watch the trailer again, alas, and then look at the things I draw now, I don't feel like it's a thing, what people do is animation, and we are just animation workers.

[Lu Wenbin]: I really envy those of you who can stay in the animation industry, I can only sit in the office every day and listen to those aunts' nagging, boring and boring.

[Liu Qianwei]: Go and go, I don't want to talk to a rich second generation like you who has a mine at home.

[Li Wei]: Hey, I remember that there is no one in our class who is in Phantom Electric @Han Qingwen, this person is ignoring people now.

"What's that?"

Before Han Qingwen could figure out the ins and outs, he saw someone @ himself.

When I don't see it, it doesn't seem to be good.

He could only reply with a question mark.

Seeing Han Qingwen reply, this group of people became even more lively.

Han Qingwen saw them gossiping, and finally understood why the group suddenly became lively.

It turned out that the trailer for Once Upon a Time on Earth was released today.

Most of the shots used in this trailer are the first part of Han Qingwen's responsibility, of course, Han Qingwen himself has watched it more than a dozen times, but he forgot that today is the day of the public.

Except for some college students who change careers or go home to take the public examination, most of the rest are in related industries, so they naturally pay attention to these things.

He replied to his classmates while glancing at the number of views of the trailer.

After being released for twelve hours, the trailer of "Once Upon a Time on Earth" has been played more than three million, compared to tens of millions of daily active, the data is basically no water for the first sound video network, it is already a good hit, you must know that today is a working day, the real traffic peak should be after the evening.

Seeing the video, Han Qingwen simply clicked the play button again.

After a few related logos, there is a series of countdowns.

This is exactly the series of countdowns that Wang Miao saw in his eyes.

The trailer unfolds from here.

Some incidents, the information flashed by, and there were news reports of scientists' suicides, as well as lists of members of international scientific organizations, as well as reports of Yang Dong's death.

The images are a little shaky, as if they are being oppressed by something.

Subsequently, the three-body game appeared.

Human-powered computers, compiled calendars, approaching flying stars, these large scenes are directly completed by paintings, and they are full of courage.

followed by Wang Miao's doubts and questions.

"Who the hell are you and what do you want?"

Then, a female voice replied indifferently.

"Go to the place marked by the mail, and by that time, the whole universe will be shining for you."

The first half of the whole trailer is full of suspense, and at first glance, it looks like a mystery animation.

And the excellent painting and light and shadow make the whole trailer dignified, uneasy, and with a large amount of information, people can't take their eyes off.

Finally, there is the emperor in ancient costumes, standing in front of the palace, looking at the sky, and the picture is getting dark.

Throughout the trailer, the countdown that appears in different places also comes to an end.

At this moment, a deep male voice suddenly appeared.

"What do you have to do with destroying you!"

The trailer came to an abrupt end.

Only the four big words "Once Upon a Time on Earth" appeared on the screen.
