Entertainment: You're asked to make a healing animation, but it will make the whole internet de
Chapter 53 PV Released: Welcome to Night City
Within weeks, the entire Healing Animation Company seemed to have vanished from the world.
In this company, everyone is working themselves to the bone on animation.
Everyone had dark circles under their eyes, but their eyes were getting brighter and brighter.
Under Su Bai's guidance, they are gradually turning that story filled with despair and madness into reality.
As for the outside world, the initial uproar over Su Bai's sci-fi masterpiece has long since turned into cold ridicule.
[Hardcore sci-fi? Violent aesthetics? Has that animation made any progress? Maybe it was just hype and died in the womb?]
When asked about this matter in an interview, Chen Tianming, a well-known science fiction writer, could only sigh helplessly.
"Su Bai is very talented, but science fiction, especially cyberpunk, is not something that can be mastered with just passion. I hope he can be more grounded."
The implication was that they weren't optimistic.
Storm Games Greater China Headquarters.
Adam, the manager, paced irritably back and forth in his office, his expensive custom-made leather shoes screeching on the floor.
More than a month has passed since he licensed the IP to Su Bai.
Aside from taking away a massive amount of art resources and a huge sum of money, the other party has not been heard from since.
It's like a stone sinking into the sea.
The number of online players for Cyberpunk 2088 has plummeted to an all-time low, and the company's stock price is in dire straits.
The board of directors has issued an ultimatum: if there is no improvement, he, the regional head of China, can pack his bags and get out of here.
"Damn it, I must be crazy to believe that kid!"
Adam grabbed his hair in frustration, picked up the phone, and prepared to question Su Bai one last time.
The call connected, and he was about to roar when Su Bai's calm, emotionless voice came through the receiver.
"Tonight at 8 PM, it will be released across the entire internet."
After saying that, the phone was hung up.
Adam stood there, stunned, listening to the busy tone on his phone, unsure how to react.
......
7:59 PM.
At the Healing Animation Company, everyone stopped what they were doing and gathered in front of the largest screen.
Shen Qingyue clenched her fists nervously, her palms sweating profusely.
Jack stared intently at the screen, muttering to himself.
The entire team, everyone held their breath.
They sacrificed so much for that one minute and thirty seconds of PV.
Success or failure hinges on this!
Meanwhile, countless eyes were also waiting in front of computer and mobile phone screens.
There were those who were waiting to see him make a fool of himself, game fans who were angry at his lack of ambition, and longtime viewers who both loved and hated Su Bai.
In a science fiction forum, the title of a pinned post stands out.
[Live stream! The first PV for the sci-fi masterpiece by animation genius Su Bai—let's find out tonight whether it's a success or not!]
The post already has thousands of comments.
"Selling sunflower seeds and drinks in the front row, sit back and wait to see the joke."
"Hilarious! I bet five cents that it's definitely five-cent special effects, like a PowerPoint presentation."
"A player from 2088 passing by, I've given up hope and have no more expectations."
Eight o'clock sharp!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the official account of Healing Animation and major video platforms simultaneously released a video.
The title is extremely simple.
The first promotional video for The Edge Walker: Welcome to Night City.
Countless people, eager to see what would happen, pressed play.
"Buzz!"
A noise, like an electrical overload, suddenly rang out without warning, followed by explosive rock music that instantly shattered everyone's eardrums!
The screen lights up.
It was a dazzling torrent of colors!
On the towering holographic GG card, the character's smile is eerie and cold.
On a dilapidated street corner, the homeless man's prosthetic eye flashed red.
Cars speeding through the downpour left trails of neon lights, each raindrop reflecting the city's desires and decadence.
Holy crap!
In a university dormitory, a boy suddenly jumped up from his chair and stared at the screen in shock.
The light and shadow!
The quality is amazing!
Is this supposed to be an animation?
The drumbeats suddenly accelerated!
Screen change!
A burly man's arm instantly transformed into a heavy machine gun, spitting fire and riddling an enemy with bullets!
A young girl, wielding two guns, deftly maneuvered through a hail of bullets, a maniacal smile on her face!
A monster covered in metal smashed a wall to pieces with a single punch!
Undisguised madness!
Inside a room in the capital city.
Chen Tianming was holding a teacup, intending to glance at it briefly and then turn it off.
But when the scene came into view, his hand holding the teacup froze in mid-air.
The composure and calmness on his face vanished instantly, replaced by utter shock.
This was not the kind of minor skirmish he had imagined.
This was a form of expression he had never seen before, smashing you in the face in the most direct and wild way!
PV has been running for one minute.
The screen suddenly went silent.
On the train, the handsome young David meets the mysterious girl Lucy.
Just when everyone thought the pace was about to slow down, the pursuers arrived!
The boy activated the S.A.W.S ...
"Buzz!"
The world seems to have been put on pause!
All colors are instantly distorted, stretched, and twisted into bizarre color blocks, only to be reassembled into a clear image in the next frame.
The bullets left deadly neon trails in the air, and the boy's figure left a series of ghostly afterimages.
Time seemed to slow down in his eyes.
That instant visual impact made every viewer's cerebral cortex fold open!
"Oh my God!"
At the headquarters of Light and Shadow Magic Company, Jack's old colleagues also saw the PV, and everyone was stunned.
"Jack did this visual effect? That's impossible! This surpasses all his previous work!"
The Chinese team that Jack begged to join actually created something of this monstrous quality!
The end of the PV.
The rousing music gradually subsided.
Young David stood at the window of his apartment, looking out at the sleepless city, his eyes filled with confusion.
A huge line of artistic lettering slowly appeared in the center of the screen.
Welcome to Night City
The video ends and the screen goes black.
At this moment, the whole world fell into a deathly silence.
A good ten seconds or so passed.
The internet exploded!
"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! I'm speechless except for 'holy shit'!"
"My eyes! My graphics card! My heart! They're all on fire! Is this some kind of tension that animation can possibly create?"
"I take back everything I said before! Father Su! No, God Su! Please accept my utmost respect!"
"Screw it! This is art! This is the future! This is violent aesthetics!"
"Only one minute and thirty seconds? That's not enough! I can't watch enough! Give me the next episode! I'll do anything!"
The mocking post that was previously pinned to the top is now completely submerged by a flood of comments.
All those sarcastic and cynical IDs have disappeared, replaced by a uniform sea of comments.
Su Shen, I was wrong!
Storm Games Headquarters.
Adam stood there blankly in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, his hand still in the position of making a phone call.
The screen behind him was playing the final scene of the PV on a loop.
His mind went blank.
Is this GG?
This is the weapon that will allow Cyberpunk 2088 to rise from its grave and turn the tables on all its competitors!
"Quickly! Contact the publicity department! Throw all the resources into this!"
"Contact President Su! Ask him when the broadcast will start! Whatever he wants, give it to him!"
Adam's voice trembled with extreme excitement; he seemed to already see the company's stock price soaring to new heights.
And at the Healing Animation Company.
Seeing the number of views and comments skyrocketing like a rocket in the background, the entire team was silent at first, and then burst into thunderous cheers!
The young animators hugged each other, laughing and crying.
Shen Qingyue looked at the crazy praise on the screen, then turned to look at the man who had been calmly leaning back in his chair the whole time, and her eyes instantly reddened.
This man did it again.
He conquered everyone in the most incomprehensible yet unparalleled way.
Su Bai didn't look at the data; he just looked at his group of employees who were experiencing both pain and joy, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.
Just then, the long-lost system notification sound rang in his mind.
[Ding! The PV for this work has triggered a nationwide emotional shock, showcasing the emerging power of melancholic aesthetics!]
[New quest triggered: The beginning of a legend!]
[Task Requirements: Release the "Fringe Walker" animation, dragging viewers completely into the abyss of despair in Night City!]
