Chapter 337 'Hunting Demons'
At the end of February, the official blog of Weidu Entertainment issued two announcements in succession, announcing the two projects "Hell Apartment" and "Demon Hunting Notes".
Nowadays, the reputation of Dimension Entertainment is getting bigger and bigger, especially in the two fields of animation and games.
Obviously, among these two fields, Weidu Entertainment is the only company in China that can compete with the top major manufacturers such as Europe, America, and Japan on a global scale.
When news came out that they were going to make new animation works, they naturally attracted the attention of a large number of people in the animation circle.
In addition, "Hell Apartment" itself has attracted quite high public attention. After all, the box office of this work of 300 million yuan is here, which has a certain popularity. What's more, in addition to the box office, this kind of horror film has no worse playback volume than ordinary commercial films on online platforms, which is an advantage brought by the theme.
Therefore, the news that this work is to be animated has attracted a lot of attention. In particular, Weidu Entertainment also famously says that this work is free exclusive to Dimension Members, which means that people who buy Dimension Members can watch it completely for free, which makes a large number of paid members of Dimension Platforms feel happy.
Then, Weidu Entertainment can promote this trend, and the movie "Hell Apartment 2" which will be released soon in another month can be regarded as a killing two birds with one stone.
Although "The Demon Hunting" released later was not as much discussion as "Hell Apartment" at the beginning, it caused a small sensation in the circle of core animation enthusiasts.
The main reason is that with the news of "Demon Hunting" animation, several concept design drawings were released together.
Although it is an animation, it seems quite realistic in concept design.
"This style! Although I didn't see the animation or the protagonist, the desolate wasteland alone made me feel numb all over!"
"Wow! Looking forward to it! Please inform us of the specific launch time!"
"If I could finish this style, it would feel like a masterpiece!"
"Hurry up and make up for the original novel first!"
"Have anyone ever read the original book? Tell me what the story is this?"
"I have read the original work, wasteland themes, I won't say much about it. The style is so exciting, I feel that the scale will be very large!"
...
Under the official blog of Weidu Entertainment, such comments have appeared in large numbers.
At the gathering place of some animation enthusiasts, everyone started to discuss it. Some people who have read the original novels have begun to popularize stories to everyone, and most of them are mainly praise. It is precisely because of this that everyone has become more looking forward to the work that Weidu Entertainment will launch.
Liang Shuyue also saw these discussions, and then nothing unexpected happened and was extremely excited.
For her, Weidu Entertainment's works have been with her since she graduated from high school and have been working until now. Except for the few two works produced by this company, she really doesn't like to watch them because of the themes - such as horror movies - but she has watched all other works, and most of them like them very much.
While filling the forum, she licked the screen at the several released concept design drawings, and then frantically found an introduction to the novel "Demon Hunting" in the forum.
She really found it, a forum user who looked familiar, published a post about the comments and introductions of the original work.
"The story of the original work is structured in a wasteland world after nuclear war. The human order has completely collapsed, and the survival of the weak has become the first principle."
"The content of this work involves the rules of the end of the world, the development of the fate of the protagonist Su, and the decipherment of his life experience. In the wasteland, the confrontation between major forces begins to take shape. The protagonist Su is also constantly escalating, and the contradictions with the major forces. Yanyu Jiangnan uses his usual exquisite and sharp pen to depict a scene of the doomsday that will be left in the life of strange dust, as well as a group of people struggling to survive, which is very attractive."
"The whole worldview is set, suppression, despair, madness, but it also carries a special vitality. In the later stage of the story, the emergence of super life, survival and evolution, different survival and chosen positions and their irreconcilable contradictions, the rationality of the behavior of the apostles, the existence of variables such as Rochester and Su... When these stories unfold one by one, the world constructed by Yanyu Jiangnan was full of a fatal attraction. The philosophical question of "how does life exist" was also embedded in the core of the story."
"Anyway, this is a very good novel, and if it can be animated, it will definitely not be a work of young age. On the contrary, the picture may be more bloody than "Attack on Titan" and "Tokyo Ghoul", and the world view and values will be darker, not suitable for children to watch, but it is definitely a masterpiece."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the quality of the work will be guaranteed. As long as the things are made, I think that in many people's minds, the number one name in the Chinese comic "Amber" may have to be replaced. Of course, these are two completely different subjects, and it is not a good or bad one, but I personally would like "Demon Hunting" more."
After reading this comment, Liang Shuyue was so excited that she wished she could see the animation of "Demon Hunting" now, and even wanted to rush to the headquarters of Weidu Entertainment Company to peek!
Of course, that is impossible.
I can only read the original novel first and enjoy it.
...
After the project was announced, the disturbances caused by it have nothing to do with Mile for the time being.
She is now doing her best to prepare for the development of these two projects.
The entire "Animation Development Department" and most of the new forces have devoted themselves to the animation 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 "Dimensional Platform" at the end of April, which is about three weeks after "Hell Apartment 2" is released.
Of course, they don’t have to finish all the contents of hundreds of episodes before this, but they also have to look like more than ten episodes.
Fortunately, many design drawings are already available when making movies and can be used ready-made. In addition, everyone works harder and work more overtime, and they should be able to complete the task smoothly.
And after "Hell Apartment" is released, there is no need to be so hasty. It will take two episodes a week to make, and it will be almost done.
Unlike most of the work abilities of the entire department, which are accumulated in the animation version of "Hell Apartment", Mile's own energy is actually more focused on "Demon Hunting".
After all, according to Fan Zhe's instructions, "Demon Hunting" is a top-notch quality, and it is a full 3D animation. The overall effect will be based on the movie level.
This project is not in a hurry, but it will take a lot of time. The content of the first season, ten episodes, each episode is nearly an hour, and the mode is actually similar to the high-quality American dramas. Fan Zhe gave them a year to polish, and even allowed a certain delay depending on the situation, but the quality of the work must be done well.
Chapter completed!
