Chapter 8 Five-minute short video
When he was just reborn, Zhang Junsheng was a little scared.
After all, a new family, a new identity, new memories, everything is different from before.
I'm afraid that my parents in this life will find a flaw and slice him into pieces...
Fortunately, Zhang's mother and Zhang's father have their own careers, and they have no time to take care of their son, plus the little sister is only three years old, and she has only been favored, Zhang Junsheng seems to have picked it up, and no one will take the initiative to care about him!
Even, the publishing house he chose for his first "Triple Gate" was not his own, and if it weren't for the editor-in-chief who received the manuscript who happened to know Zhang's mother, this bestseller would have been born in a different hallway.
Before the official sale of "Triple Gate", Zhang Junsheng said that he would rely on his own manuscript fee to support him in the future, and his parents would not care about him.
Father Zhang smiled and agreed directly.
As for Zhang's mother, according to her ideas, a novel like "Triple Gate" will buy tens of thousands of copies at most, how much manuscript fee can it have?
Do you really think it would be great to be able to publish a book?
Then, "Triple Gate" sold almost two million copies a year, and the film and television adaptation rights also sold 1.8 million...
After "Chang'an Rebellion", "The Wind Rises in Longxi", "The Little Prince"...
In just two years, Zhang Junsheng really realized his words of supporting himself with manuscript fees.
Last summer, he set up a film studio, found a bunch of anime, and said he wanted to make an animated film.
So far, animated films have not seen a shadow, but in a year, nearly 30 million have been spent...
Inquire and inquire, in the entire Yanjing City, which child dares to spend tens of millions at the age of nineteen?
Every time he was asked, Zhang Junsheng said, "You guys don't care, I have enough money anyway!"
Okay, there's a time when you cry!
……
Houhai, a three-entry quadrangle, this is the old house of the Zhang family, and now it belongs to Zhang Junsheng!
He renovated it and it was a movie studio.
The animation department is in the south room, push the door in, and the first thing I see is Xu Wenjing sitting on the sofa with nothing to do...
Zhang Junsheng frowned: "... You didn't work with them?"
"They're all on the computer, and I don't understand..."
"Okay, then you sit down, I'll take a look!"
"Wait a minute," Xu Wenjing looked at him with scrutinizing eyes, "What about the girl last night?"
“… Go back to work, what's wrong?"
"Wow, you just let her go?"
“… Do you mean I'll have to support her for the rest of my life?"
Zhang Junsheng took off his coat, took off his gloves, then walked inside, turned his head to educate the young lady, and expressed his chest by the way: "I like beautiful women, but I don't want to know them!"
“…”
Can you get a face, just say that you cannon, and don't want to know each other...
……
The whole office is very large, and there are computers in it, and there is an eye boy sitting in front of each computer.
The whiteboard in front of you is hand-painted with the image of a panda that has always been cute and cute, if there are people from the earth, you can see at a glance that this horse is Po in "Kung Fu Panda"!
What Zhang Junsheng has to do is "Kung Fu Bear"!
Although he doesn't understand animation technology, he knows that Chinese animation professionals are no worse than foreigners!
The so-called 3D animation is modeling, patching, lighting, all in order to pursue the restoration of real nature as much as possible, as well as character simulation, scene simulation, light simulation, animal personification...
First, the 2D motion sketch is determined, and then the CGI technology is used to create the animation...
Pixar was able to do Toy Story the year before last, and of course we can!
Zhang Junsheng spent a lot of money, and even invited a professional hand-painted master from the Academy of Fine Arts - to ensure that the picture is exquisite...
As for the fight, I found a professional martial arts director, and we must ensure that the fight design is real, and strive for the authenticity and strength of traditional kung fu films.
Story, he is in charge of control, technology, Pixar has, this studio also has...
Of course, there are less than eighty people in the animation company, and they are counting on them to produce a full version of "Kung Fu Panda", hehe...
Each second of animation in 3D animation consists of 24 stickers, and a sticker sometimes takes a team of rendering engineers a week, and a 100-minute movie counts 144,000 stickers, you can calculate the time yourself!
Only DreamWorks, Disney, and Pixar in the United States have their own powerful render farms!
Simply put, a render farm is many, many servers, each of which can perform a task independently.
Really counting on artificial rendering, each anime takes at least 5 years or more...
What to do now is very simple, Zhang Junsheng asked them to make a short video first, and then he went to attract investment.
"How's it going?"
“… The hair problem is almost solved, and now the problem is the soundtrack!"
"You don't care about the soundtrack, I'll find someone, take out the finished product first, I'll take a look!"
After a year and a half of busy work, Zhang Jun has seen the finished products no less than 30 times before and after his death, and he directly rejected them at first, and later, he was as picky as possible...
The person in charge is Tian Xiaopeng, graduated from Brown University in the United States with a major in animation production, and has worked at Pixar for five years, "Toy Story", he participated in the whole process!
It's a talent!
An Shaoyang met him at a job fair in March last year, and then he was entrusted by Zhang Junsheng with the important task of being the head of the technical department of the animation department!
Click on the video, a strong oriental painting style is injected into the eye, a panda is practicing martial arts madly in the bamboo forest, and his teacher is a raccoon...
The background is full of oriental painting style, beautiful!
The most critical fight is only one section of grabbing buns...
"Good job, tomorrow I'll go to the soundtrack artist and dub this section with sound effects, and then we'll go to the United States and pull investment!"
Zhang Junsheng nodded, he was very satisfied, it was finally almost the same as the memory of the original time and space, although there were still some flaws in the details, but this was already the best level!
Pixar and DreamWorks have a bunch of technocrats, but he only has one.
"What's the matter? let's just have such a few people..."
Tian Xiaopeng has never figured out what kind of operation it is to pull investment...
"Is our story mature?"
"Is there already a comic for the whole movie?"
"Find a company dedicated to 3D animation, and then negotiate with them as a producer..."
In fact, Zhang Junsheng doesn't know much about investment and negotiation, but he has money, he can find a professional negotiation team, as long as the other party is interested, there will be talks!
He has already found someone to analyze that the six major Hollywood companies, in addition to Disney having its own animation industry, Warner, Universal, and Sony are all seeking breakthroughs in animation films, and the primary goal is Warner.
Of course, you have to pull DreamWorks in.
Why DreamWorks?
They are having a hard time, the Big Six Hollywood are joining forces to strangle them, I believe that with the support of Huaguo Capital, they will not refuse!
"By the way, did I ask you to send someone to the Shudu Giant Panda Breeding Base to shoot the documentary?"
"I've got it back... However, Mr. Zhang, do you really think that with this documentary plus a five-minute short video, you can get Americans to give money?"
Tian Xiaopeng still has no confidence...
"Hehe, you probably don't know the power of rolling!"
