gave some encouragement to the employees of the game company, and then Chen Xiao came to Hangzhou.

The animation company is also busy now, but it can be seen that many people are full of interest.

Wu Daoyi was also very excited when he saw it.

You must know that making movies is very risky, and when they decide to make animated films, they are always worried.

I don't know how many movies are made every year, but only a few really make money.

That's a lot of sand.

Some movies may not even know that the audience has this movie, and they are miserable.

There are also movies that appeared in the cinema and were taken off the shelves in a day or two, and there are only a few movies that can be remembered by the audience.

Everyone knows that movies make money, but only those who really make movies know that they lose money quickly when they make movies.

Especially for propaganda, if five million is invested, you can only listen to it, and this is really what you have to rely on money.

Fortunately, now that the "Cat and Mouse" movie has begun to make money, no matter how much money is earned, it is a success.

What's more, the box office of "Cat and Mouse" has reached more than 80 million, and the movie should be able to stay in the theater for more than 20 days, and the box office should exceed 90 million by then.

In addition to the more than 10 million yuan invested in films, it should be able to earn nearly 20 million.

Twenty million dollars, this is a lot of money that is difficult to make in animated dramas, and now I can make so much money with a movie.

This is also the reason why Wu Daoyi is so excited.

Earning so much money, it's like three years less struggle.

However, Chen Xiao came here not for the movie "Cat and Mouse", "Cat and Mouse" is already in the past, he is for another film project.

Yes.

Or animated films.

As soon as Chen Xiao entered the door, Wu Daoyi pulled Chen Xiao to show him the character paintings he had painted in the past few days.

Some of these figure paintings are made and some are semi-finished.

The style of character painting is very delicate, and the style of ink painting has a sense of fantasy.

Rat Woman: She was demoted to the lower realm for violating the rules of heaven and was in charge of the rat swarm turned by the evil spirits of human beings.

Lingpo: A person who lives alone in the northern underworld, is lonely like ascending a building, guarding the Tongtian Pavilion.

Three-handed: three-legged ferryman, with an eye to the sky on his back, holding a dragon boat in the sea of clouds, hearing the sound of walnuts to pick up and drop off passers-by like ascending the building.

Lama Bird: Wearing a robe, the body is a bird, the heart is attached to the gods and Buddhas, and the heart is compassionate and joyful.

In addition, there are Phoenix, Bai Ze, Mao Min, Ju Dove, Pixiu......

As you can see from these characters, this time it is definitely a fantasy and beautiful movie.

The script this time was provided by Chen Xiao, and the name is "Big Fish and Begonia".

In the previous life, the animation "Big Fish and Begonia" was officially released after 12 years of production, during which it experienced various difficulties such as dropping out of school, starting a business, and raising funds, which can be described as twists and turns.

Of course, Chen Xiao has sufficient funds now, so naturally it won't take so long.

The script doesn't have to spend years polishing, just copy it completely.

This animation is poetic and logical, and in his opinion, it is very suitable for his current animation company production.

And "Big Fish and Begonia" is a combination of 2D and 3D, some places are 2D, some are 3D, just enough to be used for the company's transition from 2D to 3D.

And a large proportion of this movie is the more than 100 characters and monsters, which is the original painting that Chen Xiao is looking at now.

The entire animation, more than 100 characters, and more than 1,000 backgrounds, this is not something that Chen Xiao can complete alone.

So he made a detailed request, and then handed it to Wu Daoyi to draw it, and then proposed to revise it himself.

It's a bit of a hassle, but it's the quickest way to do it.

"How?"

Wu Daoyi asked: "This is only a preliminary portrait now, and there may be changes later." ”

Tsubaki seemed a little indifferent. Chen Xiao thought for a while and said, "Give me the paintbrush." ”

Wu Daoyi handed over a pen, and Tang You saw that Chen Xiao was about to paint, so he also came over.

After Chen Xiao took the paintbrush, he said: "Tsubaki's setting is with some tenacity, and then we can set her to short hair." ”

As he spoke, Chen Xiao's hands didn't stop, and he directly modified the original drawing.

The images on the computer changed with Chen Xiao's brushes, and Tsubaki's hair slowly became shorter, and the feeling of the characters changed a lot.

Chen Xiao said again: "This is still a little short, we can put an earring on her, and then the costume will have to be fine-tuned." ”

"It's a good feeling, it's really much more comfortable than before. Tang You said in surprise.

Wu Daoyi also said: "Chen Xiao, you saved us a few days of work casually, shouldn't you have sketched this role in your mind a long time ago?"

"Pretty much. ”

"That's right, other original paintings also hurry up to help us take a look, these days the head is big. ”

Animated movies are different from live-action films, and you have to think about every shot and scene in the movie before the movie starts.

Everyone has an outline of the story, and they all know what kind of personality and dress each character is.

But how to achieve the feeling that is required in the movie, this is a process of constant experimentation and revision.

It's a tedious process.

It's not like a cat and a mouse, everything is perfect.

But "Big Fish and Begonia" is different, this is a brand new animated movie, and everything is unknown.

Therefore, Wu Daoyi has encountered a new challenge.

Chen Xiao patted Wu Daoyi on the shoulder: "Take your time, you can always do it after a year." ”

Wu Daoyi said: "You say, if we invest all the money earned from "Cat and Mouse" into this movie, will it not be safe, if it takes a year to make this movie, but in the end it hits the street, then the company can't afford this damage." ”

Chen Xiao smiled: "Isn't it just the cost of tens of millions? You can rest assured, with me in your pocket, you can rest assured that you can make it." ”

Tang You asked, "Mr. Chen, does your setting refer to your Kyushu setting?"

"Hey, you know Kyushu too?"

Now the Kyushu of this world has completely turned into a complete world, which also refers to the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

And the mythical beasts such as the phoenix and Bai Ze are all in the content of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

"Big Fish and Begonia" originally borrowed from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and now Tang You said that it borrowed from Kyushu, which is no problem.

Tang You said: "Yes, I have seen you promote Kyushu before, so I know Kyushu." ”

"That's just right, you put the story background of "Big Fish and Begonia" into the ancient times of Kyushu, which may deepen your understanding of this movie. ”

Chen Xiao said again: "It just so happens that I have another article here, you can experience it." ”
