The Creator of the Second Dimension

"Xiao Gao, please remember to compile the information about Chuyin Video Network and give it to me in the afternoon. I've been working on a special topic of Rainbow Media recently, and I haven't had time to pay attention to it. Please help me read it."

Zhou Hongyu told his subordinates.

Due to internal adjustments, she came to the new media department of the TV station, starting from scratch. At first, Zhou Hongyu thought that her career as a reporter might be buried here, but by chance, she attended Xu Rui's graduation ceremony. Through an article about the past and present of fantasy animation, Zhou Hongyu quickly brought the Ningjiang TV station's official Weibo to the top.

After that, she devoted herself to news reports on the animation industry, and wrote several press releases in a row.

Today, the cramped office has been replaced by a spacious and bright special department office. Zhou Hongyu also has several more people under his command. The TV station is even planning to allocate resources to let her host a TV program aimed at audiences in the animation industry.

Now, Zhou Hongyu is going to conduct follow-up interviews on Hatsune Video Network and "Magic Girl Madoka Magica", which have recently become popular in the two-dimensional circle. The first episode will use this theme.

The phone on the desk rang, and Zhou Hongyu connected, but after a while, a voice of doubt came out.

"What? Reported as fake news? Which one?"

Zhou Hongyu frowned when he heard what the leader said.

She still has the basic professional ethics as a reporter. She will never fabricate facts or create fake news. She did not expect to receive a report saying that she fabricated facts and wrote false reports?

"It's the interview about Xu Rui, Xiao Zhou, would you like to read it again?"

"Uh, ok, I'll review it right now."

Zhou Hongyu hung up the phone, and opened her manuscript in a little confusion. The article that was reported was "From the Stars and the Sea to the Delicate Daily Life, Xu Rui: I Want to Make a Heart-warming Animation". She dug out the recording at that time , Compare them one by one, and I am sure that I have made no mistakes.

"What's the matter, Miss Hongyu?"

Seeing Zhou Hongyu's sad face, Xiao Gao asked.

"This report was reported as false news, but I checked and it seems to be okay?"

Zhou Hongyu showed Xiao Gao the news.

"Uh...Sister Hongyu, you haven't watched "Magic Girl Madoka Magica", have you?"

Xiao Gao asked after considering his words.

"Not yet, I'm going to wait for it to finish and watch it all at once, and I didn't even pay attention to the related spoilers, what's wrong?"

Zhou Hongyu asked strangely, people of her age don't like the feeling of chasing dramas, no matter the TV dramas, or the animations I watched recently due to work reasons, they all wait until the end and then watch it all at once.

"Otherwise, Miss Hongyu, you should watch it first. Six episodes have already been aired."

Xiao Gao said rather mysteriously, and then said that he wanted to sort out the information and returned to his seat.

"Why is it so mysterious?"

Zhou Hongyu felt strange, but thinking about it, since he was going to do related reports, it was only natural to watch animations.

Opening the page of Hatsune Video Network, Zhou Hongyu found the link of "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" in the most prominent place.

After more than two hours, Zhou Hongyu finished watching the latest episode of "Magic Girl Madoka". She took a deep breath and read the report she wrote again.

"Want to make a heart-warming animation? A warrior of love?"

Resisting the urge to hit someone, Zhou Hongyu said in a low voice.

"FNNDP!"

...

Xu Rui held a planning book in his hand with a serious expression. He read every word seriously and took a long time to turn a page.

After a long time, he finally finished reading the plan, put it down, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Sitting across from him was Cheng Ke and a young man in a suit with black-rimmed glasses, who looked refined.

"Brother Cheng, what do you think?"

Xu Rui looked at Cheng Ke, this is the client he contacted, Xu Rui wanted to hear Cheng Ke's opinion first.

"I think it is possible to do it, but it may be necessary to make some changes to the original work, otherwise the space is not enough."

He glanced at the man next to him, who seemed quite nervous.

"Uh, you are from Diandian.com, Mr. Chen, right?"

Xu Rui glanced at the business card handed over by the other party, which said "Diandian Chinese Network Copyright Manager, Chen Yixin".

"Although the data of the novel you brought is good, there are many other novels with better grades than it that have not been animated. May I ask why you chose this book for animation?"

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the name of the planning book, and Xu Rui looked at the book page on Diandian.com on the computer screen.

"Well, first of all, well, this is a very good novel, and I've been following up on it. In terms of content, I can guarantee the quality."

Chen Yixin said while thinking.

"The author of this book has serialized many novels on Diandian.com before, with good results, and signed a long-term contract with us, so this time the copyright department wants to give priority to adapting this work. In addition, I personally think that fantasy animation It is a very good animation company, maybe it can produce it."

After listening to the other party's words, Xu Rui looked at the proposal again.

"There are several difficulties in the adaptation of this novel. The first is the length. The novel has reached 5 million words, but according to the author, the progress is only one-third, which means that the novel may exceed 10 million words. , such a long length, it is very difficult for an animation adaptation, in fact, before seeing this planning book, I have already heard the reputation of this book as the thickest single volume on the Chinese website."

He spoke methodically, and the more he spoke, the more ugly Chen Yixin's expression became.

"Secondly, unlike "Blazlan's Lulu", which unfolds from the main perspective of the male and female protagonists, this novel is more inclined to a group drama. In the first volume alone, there are hundreds of characters with names and surnames. Everyone occupies a lot of space, and how to choose the plot is also a headache."

Randomly flipping through the planning book, there are more than 20 pages of character introduction alone, Xu Rui continued.

"Thirdly, there are quite a lot of combat content in this novel, ranging from battles between mechas, to hand-to-hand combat, from air combat to naval battles, and even debates and business battles that rely purely on verbal negotiations, and these battles It also occupies an important plot, to be honest, the average animation company probably doesn’t have the energy to produce so much content.”

"...Does that mean it can't be done?"

Chen Yixin is a little depressed, this is already the sixth animation company he has found, if this one is still not good, then it is estimated that this animation plan will end in failure.

"No, I didn't say that."

Xu Rui said, making Chen Yixin raise his head.

"Although this book is called 'impossible to animate', I don't think it means that this novel cannot be animated, but that the animation company you are looking for is not good enough. I'm going all out to make "Magic Girl Madoka Magica", and it's expected that I will have time to start preparations for the new work in December. That is to say, even if I work overtime, this animation will only be broadcast in July next year at the earliest. Is this okay? "

"Of, of course it's fine."

Chen Yixin stood up and replied, as long as he can make animations, he can wait even if it takes a year.

"Then wish us a happy cooperation."

Xu Rui stretched out his hand to the other party.

On the desktop, the animation planning book of "The Boundary on the Horizon" was lying quietly.
