The Creator of the Second Dimension

While the explosive income of the swimsuit pool has attracted many controversial topics, people are also paying more attention to Hatsune Games' upcoming mobile game in August, "Hatsune Miku: The Idol Master" and the accompanying third virtual singer.

But before that, the annual animation selection is still the most popular topic of discussion among animation practitioners and audiences.

This year, Rainbow Media has "City of Giants" directed by Wu Yi, a masterpiece with both topicality and depth of thought, as well as "Wall of Masterpieces" and "Boundary Line on the Horizon" with outstanding entertainment and overwhelming sales. "Pure White Narcissus", which left its name in reverse in the history of animation, is full of discussions.

In mid-August, after attending the annual animation conference as usual, Xu Rui did not show up at the animation animation booth in the afternoon, and their face-to-face meeting was arranged for tomorrow.

In the afternoon, Xu Rui was able to have half a day off, which was enough to accompany Yi Qianqian to wander around the exhibition.

Today, Yi Qianqian is wearing a water-blue long skirt that is as thin as a gauze layered on top of a light white coat and white high-heeled sandals. She looks quite ladylike. Feel.

Xu Rui wore a normal T-shirt and jeans, as always.

The two went to the fan game area first. Zhou Zun's fantasy series is still popular. This barrage game has unexpectedly become popular since the Ningjiang Comic Exhibition three years ago. This year, it has maintained a frequency of one game a year, and it has become A famous player in the fan game world.

This year, the work Zhou Zun brought is called "Fantasy Eternal Night". This time he put the creation center in mythology, using the background of foreign mythology.

The booth is still hot, and with the popularity of the fantasy series, and Zhou Zun was originally the author of the fan, he did not interfere with the second creation of the work, so the second creation of the fantasy series at the Ningjiang Comic Exhibition The number of works has also increased, and it is not limited to drawing fanbooks. From music covers to fighting games, there are RPGs made with open source engines, and it is a grand occasion.

Due to the popularity of the works, as early as in the morning, the games brought by Zhou Zun had already been sold out, and now only a part of the peripherals are sold out, even so, there is an endless stream of people queuing up.

Seeing so many people, Xu Rui and Yi Qianqian wanted to visit again later, but Zhou Zun at the booth recognized them at a glance.

"Please wait a moment."

Zhou Zun handed over the sales to his companions, and came out from behind the booth, holding a copy of his game in his hand.

"Director Xu, Miss Yi, long time no see."

Although Zhou Zun was older than Xu Rui, he still respected them and handed them the game.

"This is the game I made this year. Although the official version has been sold out, I kept some as a gift."

"It seems that your game is selling well."

Xu Rui took the CD, looked at the girl with a bun face painted on the box, and put it away solemnly.

"That can't be compared with the Hatsune game."

Zhou Zun glanced at the animation animation booth in the distance, and a large Hatsune Miku character board was standing on the side of the booth.

"Fan games are just a small fight after all, as long as it makes everyone happy."

"Speaking of which, don't you plan to commercialize the fantasy series brand?"

Xu Rui asked with some emotion, after reaching a certain scale, many doujin associations will encounter the problem of payment and income. After all, using love to generate electricity is a minority. Commercialization or disbandment seems to be the two final destinations of many doujin associations.

"It's not that commercialization has not been considered, but once the work is commercialized, it is the work of investors rather than the work of players. There are also several commercial clubs in my circle. Our little hobby is in the capital. It’s not worth mentioning at all.”

Shaking his head bitterly, Zhou Zun seemed deeply touched.

"Of course, not all producers will encounter such problems. Director Xu, your company and works are very interesting. I am very envious of being able to decide the content independently."

"If you don't mind, Hatsune Games can invest in your club and ensure your independent operation. After all, you also know that we also invest in music games, and the music of the fantasy series is also praised."

Xu Rui blurted out that he has always had the idea of ​​absorbing Zhou Zun into his company. This creator is very good at shaping characters and music. If he is given a bigger stage, he will definitely be able to play a super Energy beyond imagination.

It's just that he mentioned similar ideas before, but Zhou Zun declined them politely. Now it seems that maybe it's the frustration experience of other fan clubs that made him prejudiced.

"No, not for now."

Zhou Zun shook his head and continued to explain.

"Please don't misunderstand, Director Xu, I'm not saying that you are like those capitals, but I always feel that fan creation is more free. I'm used to being loose, and my biggest hobby is drinking. Let me take it as Career, to be honest, I’m still not ready.”

he added, before speaking again.

"However, maybe one day I really can't hold on anymore and want to keep this series, maybe I will contact you, who knows, at least until that day, let me continue to dream."

Zhou Zun shrugged and said, he glanced at another game booth not far away. It was also a game made by a fan club, but it had already received investment two years ago, and now various commercial projects are booming. It's even been animated.

The three of them exchanged a few more words, Zhou Zun returned to his booth, and continued to greet the guests. One could see a woman busy in his booth, holding a towel to wipe Zhou Zun's sweat. The two were very intimate .

"He also has his own happiness."

Yi Qianqian saw Xu Rui's thoughts and said calmly.

"yes."

Xu Rui nodded, and then turned his attention to the booth on the other side, which was also selling popular fan games.

"Speaking of which, I seem to have heard of this game."

He and Yi Qianqian walked there and saw the name of the game written on the signboard: "When the Seagull Soars".

"This is a reasoning and decryption game."

Yi Qianqian said that the two of them walked closer to the promotional board, where they could see the detailed information of the game.

Roughly, the patriarch of a big family was critically ill, and he summoned a large family to the villa on the island, and then the cruise ship had an accident, and the storm hit, and everyone was trapped on the island, and then a murder occurred. Such an ordinary reasoning Bridge section.

But what's interesting is that this game is released in chapters. In the first chapter, all the characters on the stage have been killed, but at the beginning of the second chapter, a witch appeared. The witch challenged the protagonist, allowing him to Review the entire incident to find out the answer.

The game has released six chapters until this year's Ningjiang Manga Exhibition, and this time the seventh chapter is sold, and according to the publicity, the eighth chapter will be released in December. At the same time, the second season of the adapted animation of the work will also be released. It will be broadcast in October, that is to say, the mystery finally revealed in the second season will appear simultaneously with the final chapter of the game.

This simultaneous marketing method is very effective. Xu Rui saw that there was already a long queue in front of the booth. After thinking about it, he still didn't spend time queuing.

"Hey, isn't this Director Xu Rui?"

Just as he was about to leave with Yi Qianqian, a person in the booth recognized Xu Rui and walked over with a loud voice.
