The Creator of the Second Dimension

According to incomplete statistics, within an hour after "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" was broadcast, more than 200,000 users watched this animation, and the current number of paid members of Hatsune Danmaku Video Network is close to 300,000 .

This means that more than 70% of the users watched "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" in the first time. On the one hand, it shows the stickiness of website users, and on the other hand, it also reflects the relatively poor content of Hatsune Video Network.

The long October holiday is coming to an end soon, and people who have traveled abroad have returned one after another, and the discussion about "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" has gradually become hotter.

In the animation section of the A2 forum, in the "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" special building, there are already ten pages of replies.

[yaoniming300]: Exquisite painting and delicate performance, unique music and powerful battle scenes, but the plot is a bit routine. To be honest, I think that if the advantages of this animation are placed in another combat animation, There is no problem with hitting the annual animation, however, the barren old-fashioned plot drags it down, which is a pity.

[Bus No. 11]: After watching the first episode, I didn't have any emotional fluctuations throughout the whole process. Although the drawing is good, the plot is really hard to describe. How old is this old-fashioned plot?

[Words of the wind and cranes]: I have said long ago that this is no longer the era of magical girls. If you go against the trend, you will end up on the street.

[Golden Age Goose]: I compared the data of the October animation. For the sake of fairness, I selected the data 24 hours after the broadcast. "Wolf and Cat" has 3.2 million hits. "My Hero Family 2" has 1.9 million hits, "Qingqiu Friends Book 2" has 1.8 million hits, and "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" has only 800,000 hits in 24 hours. Less than one million, speaking with data, I think this animation is not an excellent work in October.

[Clover under the Raindrops]: No, can the number of clicks across websites be compared in this way? Why didn't you say that "Wolf and Cat" got pop-up windows on Tomato Video Network, which has millions of registered users, while "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" was only broadcast exclusively on Hatsune Video Network, which was established less than a month ago.

[Rain and Mist in the Wind]: Although I like "Soul Eater: Zero" and "Unnatural Death" very much, I still feel a little disappointed in the quality of the finished product of "Magic Girl Madoka Magica". It's wrong, Xu Rui is not a genius director.

[yuop7954]: Although I haven't watched this animation yet, I know it's a clichéd magical girl animation after reading your discussion. Thanks to Minesweeper, I don't need to waste time watching it.

[Starlight 321]: I think that Xiao Yan is too pretentious, with a villainous look on his face. I don't understand why the screenwriter adds such a disgusting character to this relaxed and happy animation. I hope she will leave the scene soon.

Overall, the reviews are relatively negative. Although there are exquisite paintings and delicate performances, for the audience who have experienced many battles, the first episode of "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" still lacks a little enthusiasm.

On Chafan.com, a rating website for film and television works under Tomato Video.com, the first episode of "Wolf and Cat" directed by Wu Yi scored 9.2, while the first episode of "Magic Girl Madoka" scored only 7.5. For comparison, the score of "Soul Eater: Zero" It's 8.5, and "Unnatural Death" is 9.3.

Therefore, a voice gradually appeared on the Internet that Xu Rui had fallen from the altar and was no longer able to compete for the position of annual animation.

Xu Rui didn't know how much navy was involved in it, and he didn't care.

On October 10, after the second episode of "Wolf and Cat" aired, Fantastic Animation welcomed a visitor.

Wearing hole shoes, T-shirt and jeans, Wu Yi looked like a middle-aged uncle who came out for a walk with his dog. He came downstairs to the headquarters of Fantastic Animation.

After Xu Rui heard the news, he quickly packed up his work and invited Wu Yi upstairs.

The newcomers in the original painting group all looked at the strongest director of the new generation with some curiosity, Wu Yi looked around and said casually.

"I've come to treat you to dinner as agreed, are you free now?"

Xu Rui thought for a moment, then nodded to answer.

"Of course, let's eat outside."

He got into Wu Yi's car, which was a civilian brand, cheap and practical.

"What do you want to eat? I used to go to a teppanyaki buffet, which tastes good, or steak western food?"

When Wu Yi asked, it was like discussing with an old friend who had been with him for many years.

"Don't bother, I know a good place."

Xu Rui thought for a while, and immediately gave directions.

Ten minutes later, Wu Yi's car parked in the parking lot near Ningjiang University, and the two walked to the Shengjian shop on the back street of the school.

".good."

Wu Yi was stunned, he didn't expect Xu Rui to be so down-to-earth, he immediately sat down, looked at the menu and ordered two fried dumplings.

After Xu Rui said hello, he went out and bought some common snacks, burritos, fruit porridge, fried skewers, and small wontons, no different from the college students who came here for lunch at this time.

The two divided the food in a tacit understanding and took apart the disposable chopsticks.

"Mmm, it tastes good."

Wu Yi picked up a fried dumpling, dipped it in vinegar and put it in his mouth, nodding repeatedly.

After eating for a while, Wu Yi put down his chopsticks slightly.

"I watched the first episode of "Magic Girl Madoka Magica". It is indeed a very exquisite production. Even if it is my team, it will take a little time to reach this level."

Not knowing whether he was praising Xu Rui or himself, Wu Yi took a mouthful of fruit porridge and continued.

"However, according to the current level, "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" is at most similar to "Soul Eater: Zero". I don't think Xu Rui who can make those animations will only be of this level. Do you still have kept?"

Hearing Wu Yi's question, Xu Rui smiled.

"I don't like spoilers."

Xu Rui's words made Wu Yi notice her slip of the tongue. Under such circumstances, it is not appropriate to ask the director about the follow-up plot. However, the current state of "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" is really not optimistic.

"Xu Rui, which directors do you think can be regarded as famous in the current industry?"

"ah?"

Xu Rui didn't understand, but thought for a moment to answer.

"Director Li Xiuming has won the Annual Animation Award three times, he is considered a famous artist."

"Li Xiuming has not made a new work for ten years. If I go back to ten years ago, let alone three annual animations, even ten animations are not a problem."

Wu Yi said with a slight smile.

"Director Si Siwen of Neverland? Every animated film of his can earn a very high box office."

Xu Rui said again.

"Relying on the capital behind it, spending money to make a full-CG animation for women and children, my grandma can succeed in the position of Shi Siwen."

"How about Tang Ming, who loves crafts? He is very experienced, and the original "My Family of Heroes" has made great achievements."

"This season of "My Family of Heroes" will definitely collapse. The combat power and setting are no longer in his control."

"Shi Yang from Mushroom Films? He has won the annual animation award, and the quality of his works is relatively stable."

"Shi Yang is just a fake author who can only copy the storyboards of the original work. If he is considered a famous artist, then the industry will really end."

"That"

Xu Rui shrugged, he had already counted the directors who could be called good, but all of them were refuted by Wu Yi.

Seeing Xu Rui's slightly confused look, Wu Yi smiled. He pointed to Xu Rui and then to himself.

"Nowadays, the industry is considered a famous director, and you and I are probably the only ones who can be counted."
