"Let me know, what fun video did you update today?"
eight pm.
In a university dormitory.
After finishing his course for the day, Zhou Zheng opened Station B and was scrolling through videos as usual.
As a military enthusiast.
In addition to some exciting programs, his homepage is basically filled with content such as military drills, war-themed movies, and games pushed by big data.
If I don't brush it several times a day, I feel uncomfortable all over.
The roommates next to me also have their own hobbies. As soon as they come back, they lie on the bed with their mobile phones and computers, immersed in their own little worlds.
"Eh? Homemade 2D horizontal version of war-themed animation?"
Suddenly, Zhou Zheng's eyes were attracted by a video on the interface, with a look of curiosity on his face.
There are not many people working on this kind of subject these days, not to mention that it is still the most unflattering 2D horizontal version, which cannot reflect the tension of war at all.
"Isn't this the proud work of three years of animation training?"
Zhou Zheng smiled, and various funny scenes of wearing models could not help but appear in his mind, and he tapped his finger on the screen.
When the video opens, the first thing that comes into view is a sunny golden field, accompanied by a brisk piano and a low-pitched narration.
There is only one couple in the picture.
The husband is clearing straw in the field, and the wife is holding the child under the tree and looking at his back affectionately, forming a harmonious and warm picture.
"It's actually pretty good?"
Zhou Zheng was slightly surprised, and was gradually attracted by the content of the video.
But at this moment, the music took a turn for the worse and became faster and faster, with a hint of anxiety and uneasiness, and the images in the video began to change rapidly.
When war broke out between the two countries, several soldiers broke into the couple's farm, forcibly took the husband from the enemy country and deported him.
Bombers flying across the sky, charging troops, deafening gunshots and roars, and exploding corpses... all filled the entire scene in the blink of an eye.
The feeling of oppression and the grand background music made Zhou Zheng feel like he was actually on the battlefield, which made Zhou Zheng's heart skip a beat.
However, fate did not give them a chance to breathe.
A few days later, his wife's father also received a draft from his country and had to go to the battlefield to find his son-in-law, but was eventually drowned in endless blood and fire.
Wait until everything returns to calm.
The rapid music calmed down, and the low narration sounded again.
When he looked at the picture again, there was only a hunched figure standing on the ruins, looking at everything in front of him.
Then scenes flashed by.
Families are broken up, wives and children are separated.
There are also those who are lingering in the smoke, holding the corpses and crying bitterly.
In the end, the scene freezes on a cross inserted in the center of the battlefield. The four characters "Brave Heart" gradually appear, and the red font seems to be stained with a layer of blood.
...
...
Zhou Zheng sat blankly in front of the computer, his brows furrowed unconsciously, and he felt a suffocation, depression and sadness in his heart.
The brutal fight of those soldiers on the battlefield and the long-awaited figures of their families at the rear constantly echoed in my mind.
The two extreme emotions were intertwined, making him extremely uncomfortable.
It's obviously just a seven or eight-minute animation.
But it gave him the feeling of experiencing an epic blockbuster.
“What an awesome video!”
After coming back to his senses, Zhou Zheng finally couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
It's not like he has never seen animations with war themes like this.
But I have never seen an animation that can depict emotions so realistically through pictures. It perfectly restored the cruelty of war!
This wasn't what shocked him the most.
What made him unbelievable the most was the production level of this animation, which was simply astonishing!
The number of frames involved in the explosion of a light bomb can be described as costing money every second. You can almost clearly see the trajectory of each shrapnel and the impact feedback after it disperses.
This is no longer just a simple animation.
But a work of art!
In the form of animation, a real battlefield is presented to the audience!
"Which company is so generous? Is it a preview of a blockbuster movie?"
In Zhou Zheng's impression, only large film and television companies can achieve this level of animation.
Are you publishing it so quietly for fear of others knowing?
Zhou Zheng smiled with a weird expression and pulled the page down.
But when he saw the video tag at the bottom, his expression suddenly froze.
(Game cg) (Stand-alone game) (Braveheart) (Memories of Angels) (Healing)
"wtf!?"
“You’re telling me this is a game CG??”
Zhou Tong almost jumped out of bed, his eyes widened.
This unusual behavior also attracted the attention of other roommates, who all raised their heads.
"What, you're so scared, the anchor you follow has turned off beauty?"
"Haha, I think it's 80% correct. Didn't someone like Joe get exposed before?"
"People nowadays would rather believe in the picture of themselves than look in the mirror."
"Yes, yes, yes, you said you have a bad foundation, even if your beauty is bad, it will be useless. I really laughed my ass off."
The roommates said something to each other, and in a blink of an eye, the dormitory was covered in laughter.
"No, it's not." Zhou Zheng blushed and quickly brought the phone screen closer, "It's this animation. Take a look at this animation!"
...
In just one night.
The video released by Chen Lin became popular and quickly spread within a small area.
The sales volume of the game reached an astonishing... more than thirty copies.
"really."
Looking at the sales page, Chen Lin, who had just woken up, felt completely sleepy.
In fact, he had already anticipated this result before the game was released, so he was not too surprised.
The success of a game is not just as simple as excellent quality, but also includes fame and publicity.
It is not one of those big companies with resources.
It's not famous and it's not publicized, so it's surprising that it became popular all of a sudden.
The plot in the novel where you just publish a game and a big anchor happens to play it, and then it becomes popular, is simply unrealistic.
Because when he released the game last night, he had already sent a group message to major game anchors through private messages on the platform, recommending this game to them.
But in the end, not a single one was actually downloaded.
Some don't even look at it.
"Fortunately, I made two preparations."
Chen Lin opened the video website and was about to check the effect of the promotional CG, when a phone call suddenly came in.
I glanced at it and saw that it was the game studio he had worked with the most before, so I immediately picked it up and answered it.
"Chen Lin, I have an action program here, do you want to do it?"
As soon as the call was connected, a familiar voice came from the other side.
"Looking for me to do outsourcing, don't you know my current situation?" Chen Lin said in surprise.
Five of his ten orders were provided by the other party. Seeing that he was a freshly graduated college student, he would be given priority whenever there was an order.
Although these were small orders, they gave him a lot of help.
To cooperate with him now is to risk offending Huan Hai, but not everyone has the courage.
"Haha, a small studio like ours can't climb the high branches of Huanhai, so naturally we don't have to flatter those companies."
The person on the other end of the phone laughed at himself, his voice sarcastic.
Perhaps because it is a small studio, we can sympathize with Chen Lin's experience.
Chen Lin was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "Forget it, I have a better place now. Thank you for taking this time, Old Song."
"What do you mean? Have you really changed careers?"
Lao Song's voice paused, and it took him a while to react. His words were a bit tired: "Oh...it's okay, you are still young, you can explore more, come to me if you need anything in the future."
"Well, I will..."
Chen Lin opened his mouth. He originally wanted to say something, but a large number of messages suddenly appeared on the video website he just opened in front of him, which made him stunned.
"I have something else to do, so I'll hang up now."
Hang up the phone and click on the message interface.
In just one night, his backend messages had soared to 999!
