Chapter 337: Demon Hunting Notes
At the end of February, the official blog of Wedo Entertainment issued two announcements in a row, announcing the two projects of "Hell Apartment" and "Demon Hunting Notes".
Now, the reputation of Dimension Entertainment is getting bigger and bigger, especially in the two fields of animation and games.
Obviously, among these two fields, Wedo Entertainment is the only company in China that can compete with the top manufacturers in Europe, America, and Japan on a global scale.
When the news came out that they were going to make a new animation work, it rightfully attracted the attention of a large number of people in the animation circle.
In addition, the public attention aroused by "Hell Apartment" itself is quite high, after all, the box office of this work is placed here, and it has a certain popularity. What's more, in addition to the box office, this kind of horror film, in terms of broadcasting on online platforms, the playback volume is not even worse than that of ordinary commercial films, which is the advantage brought by the subject matter.
As a result, the news that this work is going to be animated has also attracted a lot of people's attention. In particular, Wedo Entertainment also famously said that this work is free and exclusive to Wedo members, which means that those who buy Wedo members can watch it completely free, which makes a large number of paid members of the Wedo platform feel happy.
And then this shareholder trend, Wedo Entertainment can also take advantage of the trend to promote the movie "Hell Apartment 2", which will be released in a month, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
And the "Demon Hunting Notes" announced later, although it was not as much discussion as "Hell Apartment" at the beginning, it caused a small sensation in the circle of core animation lovers.
The main reason is that with the news of the animation of "Demon Hunting Notes", several concept design drawings were released together.
Although it is an animation, in terms of conceptual design, it looks quite realistic.
"This style of painting! Although I didn't see the anime, I didn't see the main character, but just this desolate wasteland already made me numb! ”
"Wow! I'm looking forward to it! Please let me know the specific launch time! ”
"If you can finish it according to this style of painting, it will feel like a masterpiece!"
"Hurry up and make up the original book first!"
"Have you ever read the original book and tell me what kind of story it is?"
"I've read the original book, the wasteland theme, don't say much else, the style is so exciting, I feel that the scale will be very large!"
……
Under the official blog of Wedo Entertainment, a large number of such comments appeared.
And in some of the gathering places of animation lovers, everyone discussed it. Some people who have read the original book have begun to popularize the story to everyone, and most of them are mainly praised. It is precisely because of this that everyone is looking forward to the work that will be launched by Wedo Entertainment.
Liang Shuyue also saw these discussions, and then unsurprisingly, she was very excited.
For her, the works of Wedo Entertainment have been with her since she graduated from high school, and she has been working until now. The works produced by this company, except for a few two, really don't like to watch them very much because of the subject matter - such as horror movies, and she has watched all the other works, and most of them are very like.
She poured water on the forum, licked the screen at the few released concept design drawings, and then frantically found an introduction to "Demon Hunting Notes" in the forum.
It really made her find, a forum user who looked a little familiar, and published a post about the evaluation and introduction of the original work.
"The story of the original book is framed in a wasteland world after a nuclear war. The order of the world has completely collapsed, and the law of the jungle has become the first principle. ”
"This work,The content of the story involves the rules of the end times、The fate of the protagonist Sue、Decryption of life experience,Under the end of the wasteland,The confrontation between the major forces has begun to take shape。 The protagonist Su is also escalating, and the contradictions between the big forces, Yanyu Jiangnan with his usual delicate and sharp pen, depicts a picture of the end of the rest of his life, as well as a group of people struggling to survive, which is very attractive. ”
"The whole worldview is depressing, desperate, and crazy, but with a special vitality. And later in the story, the emergence of superlife, survival and evolution, the different existences and the positions chosen and their irreconcilable contradictions, the rationality of the apostles' actions, and the existence of variables such as Rochester and Sue...... When these stories unfold one by one, the world built by Yanyu Jiangnan is full of a fatal attraction, and philosophical questions such as 'why life exists' are also embedded in the core of the story. ”
"All in all, it's a good look, and if it can be animated, it will definitely not be that kind of work with a young age, on the contrary, the picture may be more bloody than "Attack on Titan", "Tokyo Ghoul" and the like, and the worldview and values will be darker, not suitable for children, but it is definitely a masterpiece."
"And with the technical strength of Wedo Entertainment, if nothing else, the quality of the work must be guaranteed. As long as something is made, I think that in the hearts of many people, the title of "Amber" as the first national comic may have to be changed. Of course, these are two completely different genres, and it's impossible to say who is good and who is bad, but I personally prefer "Demon Hunting Notes". ”
After reading this review, Liang Shuyue was so excited that she couldn't wait to see the animation of "Demon Hunting Notes" now, and even wanted to rush to the headquarters of Wedo Entertainment Company to take a peek!
Of course, that's not possible.
I can only read the original book first.
……
After the project was announced, it caused a lot of disturbances, and it had nothing to do with Miller for the time being.
She is now working hard to prepare for the development of these two projects.
The entire 'Animation Development Department', most of the new force, was devoted to the work on the animated version of "Hell Apartment". The time for this project is quite tight, according to the requirements given by Fan Zhe, the work will be launched on the 'Dimension Platform' at the end of April, that is, about three weeks after the release of "Hell Apartment 2".
Of course, they don't have to finish all the hundreds of episodes before then, but they have to make at least a dozen episodes.
Fortunately, many of the design drawings are already available when making movies, and they can be used ready-made. In addition, everyone usually works harder and works more overtime, and they should be able to complete the task smoothly.
And when "Hell Apartment" is launched, there is no need to be in such a hurry, and it will be almost okay to make two episodes a week.
Unlike most of the work ability of the entire department, which is piled up on the animated version of "Hell Apartment", Miller's own energy, in fact, is relatively focused on "Demon Hunting Notes".
After all, according to Fan Zhe's instructions, "Demon Hunting Notes" is a top boutique, and it is a full 3D animation, and the overall effect will refer to the movie-level one.
This project is not rushed, but it will take a lot of time. The first season, ten episodes, each episode is nearly an hour long, and the mode is actually similar to that of a boutique quarterly American drama. Fan Zhe gave them a year to polish it, and even allowed a certain extension depending on the situation, but required that the quality of the work must be good.
In this case, of course, Miller needs to be treated carefully.
