The Creator of the Second Dimension

Walking downstairs, Guo Weiren couldn't help touching his coat pocket, but remembered that he had quit smoking a long time ago.

He turned his head, glanced at the building that he was very familiar with in the past, sighed, walked out of the old park, and walked towards the high-tech development zone.

Guo Weiren is not a warehouse manager, he doesn't even work in this park.

He went downstairs to the Tomato Video Network, took out his employee card to enter the door, and took the elevator to the sixth floor, which is the office of Tomato Manufacturing.

People passing by saw Guo Weiren and didn't say hello. He walked to his seat in the corner and sat down alone. There was no familiar pen table and draft paper in the work station, but a brand-new digital board and a computer with the latest configuration.

He is an original artist and has been in the industry for 16 years, of which 12 years have been spent in fantasy animation. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence. The famous blizzard scene in the industry at that time was written by Guo Weiren.

Guo Weiren, who was still a fledgling boy at the time, was responsible for the original painting alone for the first time, so he consulted the information, combined with his own experience in the north when he was a child, and drew this amazing two-minute blizzard, which made him famous in the industry.

When Xu Rui's father died of illness, the staff of Fantastic Animation had disagreements. Seeing the internal turmoil, Guo Weiren felt very tired. Tomato manufacturing.

"Old Guo, where did you go just now? Forget it, here is a document that they need to use for their painting meeting later, please help organize it, and hurry up."

Before the chair was warmed up, a group leader of the original painting group came over with a stack of materials and gave orders without hesitation.

Guo Weiren didn't say much, and took the information.

Originally, Guo Weiren thought that he could start again in Tomato Manufacturing, but soon he realized that the reason why Tomato Manufacturing hired him was to improve the company's reputation. After the production of animation, he completely fell into idle work, and was only occasionally used as a handyman.

He is proficient in hand drawing, but not very good at digital board creation. Looking at the digitally drawn lines in the materials, Guo Weiren deeply felt the changes of the times.

He is thirty-nine years old, his son is studying, and life has not allowed Guo Weiren to resign willfully to pursue his animation dream, so he sinks because of this, and only occasionally returns to the fantasy animation animation alone when everyone is busy The old building, look at the place where I used to chase my dreams.

Meeting Xu Rui this time was also a coincidence, Guo Weiren didn't recognize him, and thought that some new animation company had already bought this building.

Thinking of the way the young man explained animation, Guo Weiren really felt his enthusiasm for animation, but Guo Weiren also knows how difficult it is to build an animation company from scratch in today's industry. The existence of these top companies in the industry directly occupies a large amount of resources. Even if there is enthusiasm, it is difficult to beat the reality.

Besides, that young man is so young, he probably has no industry experience at all, maybe some rich second generation who loves animation came to play tickets, and it is difficult to rebuild the fantasy animation.

After sorting out the information, Guo Weiren returned to his seat, unlocked the computer screen, and the page of Tomato Video Network was displayed, and the video played happened to be the recently popular animated short film "Voice of the Stars".

Guo Weiren has watched this short film countless times, and the passion and throbbing he felt when he made the animation came to his heart again. He glanced at the title of the video and sighed deeply again.

"If the author of this video recreates the animatronics, maybe it can really bring about some changes."

He said to himself, but Guo Weiren knew that a newcomer of this level would soon be absorbed by a big company and become a member of the animation migrant workers.

"well"

Guo Weiren shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

a week later.

"Voice of the Stars" on Tomato Video has already occupied the top spot in the animation section for a week, with more than 8 million hits, more than 4 million recommended votes, and more than 100,000 comments. It is a truly phenomenal video.

Since uploading an account is not a contract, there is no way to reward the video, and there is no way to get the traffic share. Otherwise, Xu Rui can earn a six-figure income just by relying on this video.

Just a week after the release of "Voice of the Stars", Wenhu, the largest knowledge sharing platform in China, also released a full splash screen topic titled "From "Voice of the Stars" to the First Year of Literary Animation". The concept of "Voice of the Stars" is applied to the animation, and "Voice of the Stars" is defined as a literary animation. With the concept of the world system mentioned by Xu Rui, it seems to have a sense of grandeur.

In the topic, there are many excellent answerers who asked questions about the animation area, and analyzed why this work became popular from various angles, and what inspiration it has for animation producers.

The political commissar, a well-known animation question answerer, wrote passionately in his article: "This animation will definitely be recorded in the annals of domestic animation production. This marks the beginning of a new animation theme, which makes people full of reverie about the future!"

And another questioner V Erlang praised: "Although some people think that "Voice of Stars" has many flaws and shortcomings compared with the theatrical animation films produced by professional animation companies, in my opinion, a senior It is already a victory if the graduation design produced by the students in half a year can be compared with the works carefully polished by animation companies with hundreds of people!"

Remi Remi, the QQ answerer, wrote more rationally: "We should reflect on why only one "Voice of the Stars" has resonated so widely over the years. Our animation industry is booming, but whether it has fallen into Whose fault is it for this self-styled vicious circle?"

Due to the detailed content of the topic and its relevance to hot spots, the number of visits has been increasing, and the writers of these articles have also gained many new fans.

However, in the big V group in the animation area, the atmosphere was solemn.

[The past is like smoke]: It was agreed at the beginning who would write the topic and who would be the dog. Why did you all secretly write it? ? ?

[Doormanmen]: That's right, you guys are too unscrupulous, you've been sent away for a few hundred dollars!

[Black Sugar]: Hehe, I usually laughed at me for worshiping money, but I licked one or two more diligently than anyone else.

【Erlang】: Actually, I don’t want to either. The editor over there asked me to write it when an acquaintance asked me to write it.

[Remi Remi]: I am similar to Erlang, I have to pay back the favors I owe to others.

[Political Commissar]: It’s all done with money, and it doesn’t represent our position. On the platform of Wenhu, you can’t go against others.

[Azure Longing]: But this time the most profitable is the anime soul of the awesome ham. I think it has almost 80,000 followers.

【Azhi】: Is he in the group? Never saw him come out.

[Political Commissar]: Not here, I was there before, but I left the group later. Now that he has received investment from Tomato and started his own company, he is no longer the same as us.

[The past is like smoke]: No matter how awesome the ham is, you guys are too good at playing, and you can't believe a word of what you say in the group in the future! ! !
