There is no hustle and bustle of flowers, no flashing lasers in a row.

There is also no splendor of flowers.

There is no grand opening ceremony like when Lin Nan directed his first movie.

Lin Nan's first animated film "Big Fish", which he participated in directing, producing, and writing the screenplay, began so simply.

There was a lot of media cheering.

Hot search bombardment.

Countless celebrities are competing to forward dynamic ......' and so on, these ......

None of them.

It is far less enthusiastic than the opening of "The Ferry".

After announcing the launch of the project, Lin Nan didn't say a word or two more and went straight back to his office.

Shen Xing followed Lin Nan and walked into the general manager's office.

"Mr. Lin, please take a look at the production process, do you think there are any things that need to be adjusted?"

Lin Nan smiled while watching: "Xiao Shen, don't be so nervous. ”

"I am very relieved that this project is handed over to you, and I can see that you are very well prepared, and I believe in the efforts of a person with a dream. ”

Lin Nan knew very well that Shen Xing was a person, and to put it bluntly, he didn't have much confidence.

Therefore ask for instructions in everything.

That's why Lin Nan poured him a bowl of chicken soup.

The production process submitted by Shen Xing is a common template in the industry and even in the world.

Pre-planning, mid-term production, and post-publicity.

A more technical way to put it is: animation pre-production, animation mid-production, animation post-production.

Yes.

That's how the generic templates are divided.

Even most of the textbooks in schools that offer the course of animated film are taught in this way.

Pre-production is mainly divided into: planning, script, data collection and sorting, style design, character modeling design, scene design, and storyboard script.

This part is covered by some preparatory work, such as script, data collection and arrangement, and planning.

The process that Lin Nan sees now is to determine the style design plan, character modeling design plan, and scene design plan.

These are the art design parts of the early stage.

After that, the mid-production process is carried out step by step, and so on.

Lin Nan patted and closed the folder: "This is a very standard process, I said, Xiao Shen, I believe in your efforts, you don't have to report these standard things in the future, you can grasp it yourself." ”

As he spoke, Lin Nan cast an encouraging look at Shen Xing.

"You, believe that you can!"

Yes.

He was full of confidence in Shen Xing.

In the encouragement of the eyes, there is also a little bit of the background color of the scattered wealth boy.

Only such an excellent employee like a fortune boy can cooperate with him to perfectly complete the task of burying Nanshang Entertainment.

In particular, this money-free boy has a half-baked animation modeling level, and will also assist in leading the modeling work in the mid-production stage.

Plus the dream of mold in the pillow.

Damn, absolutely not!

Shen Xing exhaled deeply, and said with an extremely serious expression: "Please rest assured, Mr. Lin!"

"I'm definitely going to do it with 120,000 hard work. ”

Lin Nan nodded and waved his hand: "Go ahead." ”

Great!

There is a saying that the harder you work, the more you spend.

………………

Busy time always flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was two days later.

Shen Xing handed over part of the style design and character design to an art team in Yangcheng.

As for the scene design, Shen Xing and the employees of Nanshang Entertainment personally started it.

Including the newly recruited counterpart professional staff Han Yu and others, Nanshang Entertainment has a total of 20 people who have the ability to participate in the production, which is more than 50% of the total number of employees.

The work of the final storyboard script was taken over by Lin Nan.

In this regard, there is no one else in Nanshang Entertainment, and there is no plan to hire a professional storyboard to produce it professionally.

Before directing his first film, Lin Nan specially learned the operation of the storyboard script, coupled with the chaotic amateur skills of college, it was not a problem to take it down.

"Whew~"

Lin Nan let out a long breath, looked at his work, and slammed his mouth.

"Even if I'm not a rich second generation, even if I'm a graduate of the Department of Philosophy, I really can't eat, and I can go to the street to paint people's portraits with this skill. ”

Although it is not as colorful as the storyboards drawn by those who are professional artists.

But the lines drawn by Lin Nan are still full and the backbone is full.

In addition, since it is an animation production between 2D and 3D, a certain amount of storyboarding work will be carried out during the transition to mid-production.

In addition, Lin Nan felt that he was actually a person with creative ability.

It was decided to show one or two in this animation production.

Therefore, in more than two days, Lin Nan has completed the key storyboard.

According to the synopsis of the script, about 1,300 sub-shots are needed, and Lin Nan only drew 444 in order to fully show his secondary creative ability.

The progress is still very good.

Although they are all line stick figures.

Lin Nan, who had been busy for two days, stretched his waist, sorted out the storyboard script, and walked out of the office.

"Mr. Lin. ”

"Mr. Lin is good. ”

"Mr. Lin, I was just going to look for you, we have completed some design sketches for important scenes, and I would like to ask you to take a look. After walking a few steps, he met Shen Xing who came over in a hurry.

Lin Nan nodded.

Although he handed over a lot of work to Shen Xing to handle, as a director, the job of gatekeeping still has to be done.

What if it does?

Although domestic animated films are a big god pit, no matter how hard Nanshang Entertainment tries, it will be packed into it.

Fear everything just in case.

Lin Nan watched, and Shen Xing explained on the side.

"The design of the Divine Siege Building, we fully borrowed the style of Fujian Tulou......"

“……”

"The design of Chaoyuan Tower also has parts that draw on traditional Chinese architectural styles, including this door knocker ......"

“……”

Twenty people spent two days separately designing a large number of sketches of the scene, and it can be seen that a lot of thought has indeed been put into it.

Even sketches are not formed all at once.

There are sketches before sketches.

Most of the manuscripts are hand-drawn.

In Lin Nan's opinion, the progress of these guys is no worse than him.

"The scene of the God's Siege is very well designed, according to this standard. ”

Lin Nan decided.

"Big fish, I still have to show some details of the zodiac......"

Suddenly, Lin Nan pointed to one of the design drafts.

"Don't do this. ”

Then he explained.

"I know it's a traditional fish character for writing, but with this background, it's very similar to the Miyazaki Hayao Chihiro I've seen in my impression, don't. ”

Overall, it took about half an hour.

Lin Nan did not hesitate to reject some of the scene design drafts that did not meet his opinion.

After that, Shen Xing said: "I asked the art team to design the style design and also submitted some sketches, and you can make a decision." ”

Lin Nan flipped through the paper manuscripts that were also hand-drawn or printed.

"Not here. ”

"Same question. ”

Then Lin Nan looked up at everyone, focusing on Shen Xing, and emphasized.

"Xiao Shen, no matter how many teams you are looking for, you must emphasize that it must be self-created content, not trying to save trouble and imitating other people's styles. ”

"The first run-in, I won't say much, I don't want to have a next time!"
