New Century Anime Warrior

To be honest, Si Hua wasn't in the media industry in his previous life, and he couldn't come up with any good short video scripts, but that didn't stop him from thinking this little theater was terrible and cheesy...

But in this time and space, I inexplicably adapt.

Perhaps this generation of netizens hasn't had a chance to taste fine rice bran yet.

In short, this slightly eerie little theater unexpectedly became a minor hit.

As expected, most people were focused on the video's more eye-catching narrative style and plot elements.

Who the male lead is is not important; this is exactly the effect Si Hua wanted.

If you focus on the male lead too early, it will be much harder to create that sense of contrast that seems completely unrelated later on.

The following stories are actually about the tug-of-war between the photographer "Teacher" and the ghost "Student," but each episode has a slightly different style.

For example, the second episode adopted the style of Gu Long's dialogue.

This time, the phone successfully captured the image on the screen, which was a 3D model resembling a spaceship.

"You've arrived." The student, still with his back to the camera, stared intently at the flashing screen, seemingly noticing the person filming, and said quietly.

"I'm here." This was the high school teacher who filmed the video, whose voice was slightly trembling.

"You shouldn't have come."

"But I still came."

"Don't you regret it?"

No regrets.

"Alright then." The student suddenly turned around again, but his face was still not clearly visible.

Then you see the familiar swaying camera angle during an escape.

"In all my years as a teacher, what kind of stubbornness haven't I seen?"

"But this is the first time I've ever been so stubborn!"

-----------------

"Hahaha, this teacher is such a coward, so afraid of her own students." Xiao Mei nestled on the sofa, kicking her little feet incessantly.

"Quickly share this! I want all my mutual followers to see this hilarious video!"

After forwarding it, Xiao Mei began to enthusiastically watch and comment on the reposts.

"Trying to attract attention!" This is a user who uses a lotus flower as their profile picture, with the ID "Flowers Bloom and Wealth 0911".

Those who cling to feudalistic ideas should stay away from the internet.

"He turned his back to the world, and when he turned around, he left only the words 'You've come,' so simple and beautiful... This is not puppy love, it is a boy's whisper to the universe." This repost came from a user whose profile picture was of a girl holding a huge book, whose ID was "Yan Zhi Yu Zhi Le," which seemed a bit unlike a young person.

"You haven't even read Gu Long on the right?" A user named Aqiang, who loves fried noodles, forwarded the comment above.

Gu Long? What's that?

Yan Ziyu was stunned. She was a student at an ordinary high school in Shanghai. She had just stepped down as the president of the literary club and was now a senior in high school, so she could no longer participate in extracurricular activities.

She was also a well-behaved girl who was forbidden from reading "idle books" by her family since childhood. She didn't know much about martial arts novels, and all her extracurricular books were world classics.

But she still politely replied, "Thank you for reminding me, classmate. I'll look into it."

Kuang Qiang, far away in the capital, was taken aback by this sudden thank you. Heaven help him, he had only wanted to make sarcastic remarks about this pretentious artsy guy.

Now look what's happened, we're caught in a bind.

As expected, a sharp tongue is no match for natural talent; it has always been so.

Si Hua also watched the comments below the video. Although it had a retro feel from many years ago, the overall energy of the netizens was still evident.

This is only the second episode, and the number of reposts and comments has already exceeded 20,000, which is quite impressive for a niche genre.

The next step is to maintain the topic's buzz; now is not the time to push it to new heights.

Thinking of this, Si Hua took out his phone, preparing to send a message to Lin Lin: "Witch, don't come today, you're disturbing my Dao heart!"

"?" The other party replied almost instantly.

"If you really can't resist, sneak over and take a picture of my focused, unrestrained, and dashing figure from behind with your phone...you'll need it later."

"??"

Si Hua was very satisfied with Lin Lin's reaction. He casually turned his phone face down on the table and continued with the production of "Voice of a Star" as originally planned.

It's mid-July now, and there are still about two weeks until the start of the senior year at the end of the month. Time really flies when you're busy.

For the past week or so, apart from the preliminary work of recording the theme song and promoting the short drama, he has been coming to the multimedia classroom almost every day to select the right technology.

This is also the preliminary research stage that engineers are most familiar with.

The main purpose is to conduct practical technical tests on modeling software such as Blender, 3D Max, and Maya at this point in time.

Of course, I wasn't idle at home in the evenings either. Besides catching up on anime, I mainly focused on refining the "foundation" of the work, such as its worldview, storyboard, and settings.

Yes, Si Hua spends one or two hours every night watching anime.

Although this world has lost many of the masters and masterpieces that were well-known and influential in the previous life, its ecological niche will not disappear out of thin air.

Instead, a series of new works have supplemented cultural development in a way that follows historical inertia.

While it falls short of being a masterpiece or even a hot topic of the year, it still reaches the level of a good work.

Masterpiece, topic of the year, masterpiece, average, rubbish... Oh right, a dreadful work is a masterpiece.

This is Si Hua's personal rating system for ACG works, which is basically the popular HAMRA rating chart that came about later.

For a soul in a parallel universe, the thought of having so many high-quality animated masterpieces that they haven't seen is incredibly blissful.

Of course, there are also valid reasons to avoid my parents nagging me and to allow me to watch anime in peace—I'm working, and these anime are materials for my research and study.

But as enjoyable as it may be, we still have to get down to business.

According to my work schedule, I need to complete all the basic work before the start of the semester.

Furthermore, you need to prepare scene concept art, mechanical style design art, character design art, etc., to form a design collection, and select a portion to publish on Pixiv to leave a record.

Oh right, I also need to create a time-lapse video for my video to upload to Bilibili.

Sigh, it seems I've been a bit too ambitious.

There seems to be a lot going on.

That's not entirely wrong; the actual workload did exceed Si Hua's expectations.

As expected, the plan was well done, and the crematorium was put into operation.

Fortunately, the preliminary research phase is basically complete, and starting today, "Voices of a Distant Star" will enter the concept design phase.

Using software such as AutoCAD and Photoshop, draw the three-view drawings of all the mechanical equipment involved in the PV according to the engineering drawing standards, and also label the dimensions, materials, power system, etc.

This kind of redundant detail addition is not simply a waste of time or excessive self-indulgence, but rather adds real texture and depth to the work, allowing the audience to be more immersed in the work without even realizing it.

Almost all great science fiction works have followed this path.

If "Voices of a Distant Star" were a regular anime, it might not be considered a masterpiece.

But it is a personal animation, and in terms of production difficulty, it is a masterpiece. Moreover, the more terrifying the density of details in the work, the more it demonstrates the strength of the individual's ability.

This is why Si Hua had no choice but to bite the bullet and take on the task, and he couldn't rely on others, otherwise all his previous efforts would be in vain.

Many independent authors may choose to "outsource" some of their work, which is not even a business gimmick, but Si Hua's pride prevents him from doing so.

I compromised before I time-traveled, and I compromised again after I time-traveled. Didn't I time-travel for nothing?

This is Si Hua's first training session after arriving in the new world.
