The Creator of the Second Dimension

On Cheng Ke's planning book on the screen, the name of the animation was clearly written.

"Magic Girl Madoka".

He hasn't read the content yet, subconsciously a little confused.

The theme of magical girls can be said to be one of the most classic themes in the animation industry. From "Valkyrie Girl" and "Cardcaptor" in ancient times to "Phantom Thief Maria" and "Reloaded Girl" in the past two years, it is absolutely amazing. Most of the girl fighting animations basically have the shadow of magical girls.

Transformation, summoned beasts, magic, these elements have become the established pattern of magical girl animation. As the subject matter for young audiences, this type of animation generally has a clear distinction between good and evil, and the protagonist is innocent, symbolizing the best things in the world.

Naturally, Cheng Ke had seen animations with the theme of magical girls, but he didn't understand why Xu Rui chose this theme.

In his opinion, what this young boss is best at is bringing forth the new through the old, using novel settings or performance techniques to attract the audience, but the theme of magical girls is too old.

Cheng Ke quickly thought of director Wu Yi's new work "Wolf and Cat". When this animation was announced, people also wondered why such a talented director as Wu Yi would shoot an old-fashioned superhero animation. The type of animation that can think of the plot unfolding at the toes can't be said to be bad, but it can't meet everyone's expectations.

He also felt that the animation directed by Wu Yi might fail, but he didn't expect his boss to propose an equally old-fashioned theme.

"Look at the synopsis first."

Xu Rui smiled and didn't explain any more, just let Cheng Ke continue to read.

Cheng Ke suppressed his doubts and scrolled down with the mouse.

The beginning of the plan is the introduction of the characters. Whether it is the ordinary middle school student Lu Muyuan or the unknown creature Chubby who fell from the sky, they are all classic settings of the theme of magical girls. .

Because the role setting is too complete.

The ignorant newcomer Lu Muyuan, the good friend Xiang Shaye who aspires to become a magical girl, the gentle and reliable senior magical girl Ma Xingmei, the indifferent and mysterious magical girl Xiao Yan, the arrogant and wild Lan Xing, these main characters almost cover the magic of the past. All aspects of the characters of the protagonist and supporting characters in girly genre films can be regarded as a hodgepodge.

What exactly is Xu Rui going to do?

Cheng Ke looked back and began to read the synopsis carefully.

At the beginning of watching, Cheng Ke was still a little confused, because the previous plots were almost all the classic routines of magical girls, from meeting unknown creatures that fell from the sky to being attacked by a witch, and then the senior magical girl came to help, and the protagonist learned the truth of the world And the existence of the witch, the enemy of the magical girl, goes deeper into this world step by step.

These are classic to cliché plots. Cheng Ke originally thought that Xu Rui would innovate, but he never saw something that caught his eye.

However, everything was overturned when Cheng Ke watched the plot in the next paragraph.

"Damn!!!"

Cheng Ke even stood up straight away, almost hitting the corner of the table with his knee.

Because he clearly saw that Ma Xingmei, the gentle and reliable senior magical girl, was bitten off her head in the process of fighting against the witch, and died clearly.

God TM magical girl U-turn! ! !

Due to the influence of the magical girl animations he had seen before and the routine at the beginning of the plot, Cheng Ke didn't expect this to happen suddenly, and he was in a state of sluggishness, just standing there in a daze.

"Brother Cheng?"

Gao Senmiao just came back from the outside to fetch the original painting at this time, and it was very strange to see Cheng Ke standing there like this. He moved over and waved in front of Cheng Ke, but the other party still didn't respond.

The curious Gao Senmiao followed Cheng Ke's line of sight and found that it was a new work plan.

"Ah, is this your new work plan, Boss?"

she asked.

"Yes, you guys can take a look at the executive production first. If there is no accident, we will be ready to start making this animation after we finish the current animation."

Xu Rui replied, which attracted the attention of several executive producers nearby.

At this time, Cheng Ke came back to his senses a little. He glanced at Xu Rui and slowly returned to his position. The scene where the supposedly innocent magical girl was suddenly bitten off was unprecedented for Cheng Ke. Because of this, I feel scared, but I suddenly have a lot of expectations for the next plot.

Xu Rui's plot outline is not detailed, only a rough plot is recorded, but the subsequent development still makes Cheng Ke unexpected, and even a trace of cold sweat oozes from the forehead.

"This plot completely subverts the inherent impression of magical girls."

He muttered to himself, and then, Cheng Ke watched the plot of the tenth episode.

"Fuck???"

Cheng Ke stood up again, maintaining the same movement as before.

Originally, Cheng Ke thought that Xu Rui wanted to write a story about a dark magical girl. After all, the companions of the protagonist Lu Muyuan died one by one, and there was no hope at all. But unexpectedly, in the tenth episode, the story came to a huge reverse.

The mysterious magical girl Xiao Yan who has always looked at Lu Muyuan coldly has the ability to rewrite the timeline. In the beginning, Xiao Yan was timid, cowardly, and inferior. Lu Muyuan, who has become a magical girl, helped Xiao Yan grow up.

And the reason why Xiao Yan keeps reincarnating is to save Lu Muyuan! ! !

This kind of theme of time reincarnation did not exist in the animation industry before!

On the one hand, time reincarnation itself is prone to paradoxes, and it is difficult to justify itself. On the other hand, the repetition of reincarnation plots is easy to make the audience bored, so no one has dared to use the elements of reincarnation in the relatively relaxed theme of animation.

Cheng Ke's impact at this time was no less than seeing a magical girl turn around!

At the end of the following, the unknown creature Chubby revealed the truth about the magical girl and the witch, which was chilling. At the same time, Lu Muyuan also learned what Xiao Yan had done. She chose to sacrifice herself to save the magical girl in all time and space. .

In Cheng Ke’s view, it’s not difficult just to describe dark plots. People can witness many dark sides of human nature in their daily lives. What’s difficult is that after experiencing these darkness, they still yearn for the light, and even become the light of others.

Xu Rui's "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" has a clichéd beginning, an amazing reversal, a heavy plot, and an ending that is full of humanity and praises hope. Although many places are contrary to traditional magical girls, there is no doubt that This is the animation that conveys the most essential spirit of magical girls.

What Cheng Ke could see was only a rough text introduction.

At this moment, as an old producer, Cheng Ke only had one thought in his mind.

He wants to make "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" for everyone to see!
