But right now, there’s something even more important—
Chu River turned on the TV:
"I’ve made animations of each of your works, though some are not yet completed... which one would you like to see first?"
Discussing this key point, everyone couldn’t help but suppress their emotions for a moment.
To animate one work in a month, they could still hope for a miracle.
But to produce a dozen animations in a month...
This could only be imagined in dreams.
The investor has plenty of money, but might not have professional ability, yet with such high expectations, Fatty, who received the highest copyright fee of two million, had no choice but to step up—
"I’ll do it!" as if going courageously to face death. Follow current novels on N0velFire.ɴet
For money, he’s willing to do anything, and a shoddy animation is nothing; aren’t many great works adapted into a complete mess anyway?
His background is the Fourth Calamity, with emotional plots, but more focused on building and defending territory, so it’s fine even if stick figures fight and build houses.
With this mindset, Fatty looked as if he was ready for battle at any moment.
Jin Siya and Hu Yun were a bit puzzled, unable to resist asking a nearby female author:
"What’s going on? Your work turned into an animation, aren’t you happy?"
The female author was straightforward: "Our works were just submitted a month ago, but now the investor says they’ve all been turned into animations..."
She gave them a look, letting them sense the situation themselves.
The two promoters couldn’t encourage against their conscience.
At this point, they could only awkwardly hold up large cups of drinks, numbly shoving them into their mouths.
Yet the female author was more easygoing.
"However, buying this outline cost fifty thousand, no need to share with the company, I’m absolutely thrilled! I’ve never sold copyright before, and someone at my level only sold animation rights for over five thousand... So, no matter how the animation turns out today, I’m satisfied!"
Fifty thousand and you don’t need a bike?
The drinks in Jin Siya and Hu Yun’s mouths suddenly turned sour.
Over here, Chu River had already started casting to the screen.
The Fourth Calamity actually refers to players; the uncontrollability of players can bring immense disaster to the game.
And Flying Fat Man’s Fourth Calamity script is named "My Mountain and Sea Star".
[The protagonist grew up near a garbage dump; unexpectedly, one night as an adult, he dreamed of a higher-dimensional world invading, wanting to colonize Mountain and Sea Star.
To resist these results, they must prove they can protect this planet well.
Upon waking from the dream, the protagonist finds himself in a parallel universe, wishing to return to his world; he must try all means to rebuild Mountain and Sea Star, left barren after invasion.
For this, he borrows alien ability, edits a gaming device to summon players here to rebuild their homeland...]
Fatty’s outline is quite well-written, with clear characters, a well-defined main thread, and engaging side plots; not wasting his two million high price, every minor side plot is detailed as well.
And now, after Chu River used an intelligent editor to tweak the script, the restoration is remarkably high.
At least, the grand opening in cosmic space displayed on a 120-inch screen makes one feel as if they are there.
Fatty’s drink fell to the floor with a plop, instantly soaking a patch of carpet.
But no one cared about this at the moment.
Because this billion-dollar effect opening is merely a routine start to this animation.
When the main characters appeared, the action scenes, expressions, language details...
All of this far surpassed any well-known animation in the world, including music, which was so beautiful and moving.
Even the plot—Fatty found that even minor details he provided were restored!
Saying they don’t care, yet everyone invests heartfelt effort in their stories; who can truly not care?
Now, just a mere five-minute beginning was enough to ignite everyone’s passion.
"This darn thing’s movie quality..."
Fatty muttered, disbelieving yet engulfed in immense joy. Life feels like hitting a five-million jackpot, constantly bouncing between belief and disbelief, making his entire state look off.
But no one laughed at him now, as everyone shared this complex feeling of "could I be the next winner?"
However, the quality of the animation film only resulted in a 25-minute episode.
As the ending theme played, Chu River casually stopped casting, and then asked, "Whose would you like to see next?"
