"Actually, this is just a preliminary idea, and we can even go a little deeper!" Lin Xiao said with a touch of his chin.

"Deeper?" Fu Junle also fell into deep thought.

In fact, Sanle Animation is enough to make money, and Fu Junle is also a person with pursuits, if one day, Sanle can become a holy place in the eyes of the entire Chinese animation circle and even animation talents around the world, it is definitely more fulfilling than making money.

Why can several major film art academies in China enjoy such a high status in the entertainment industry? It is not because most of the star artists in the entire Chinese entertainment circle have been trained by them.

Once Sanle's plan is successful, then Sanle's status in the Chinese animation circle will catch up with the top art schools in China!

The more Fu Junle thought about it, the more excited he became!

Not to mention, at present, other industries in China, it is impossible to have such a strong advantage as Sanle, there is no problem in technology, and the credibility is also enough, coupled with the influence, and the attraction of Sanle itself to those animation talents, it can be said that it is really a godsend!

"By the way, what type of two animated movies are they?" Fu Junle asked after he was excited.

"A sci-fi love story!"

Fu Junle was stunned, sci-fi love?

The previous "Kung Fu Panda" was a combination of martial arts kung fu and animation, and the second "Despicable Me" directly had the villain as the protagonist, and now there is even a combination of science fiction and love into the animated movie.

"I've already thought of the name and script of the animation, it's called "Robot Story", the content, in general, is a love story between two robots, the story takes place in the future, when the earth has become a huge garbage dump, and the earth is no longer suitable for human life......"

"Is this to promote public welfare and environmental protection?" Fu Junle asked after a pause.

"It's up to the audience to understand it. ”

"And then?" Fu Junle continued.

"The specific time in the future can be set as, 2800 A.D., because people do not care about the environment, and the damage caused by industrialization, the earth has long been scourged by human beings into a huge garbage dump, has reached the point of complete uninhabitability, so human beings can only migrate to other planets in a big way, and then entrust a robot garbage cleaning company to clean up the aftermath, until the earth's environmental system reaches ecological balance again. ”

"After the humans left, the garbage removal company transported the garbage cleaning robot WALL-E to the earth in batches and installed them with a unique instruction to encapsulate the garbage day in and day out. ”

"It's just that as time goes by, the robots are scrapped one after another, and in the end only the only one remains, continuing to work diligently in this seemingly forgotten corner, day after day, diligently busy in the garbage heap, and hundreds of years have passed in the blink of an eye, and loneliness and loneliness have become the eternal themes surrounding him!"

"The love between robots, there must be other robots, right?" Fu Junle just listened to this background, and felt that this animated movie was very different from the previous two.

"The twist is that one day, a spaceship suddenly appears and breaks the silence of the earth, and it also brings Eva, a full-time search mission robot, and when Eva leaves the earth, Vali also follows the ship......"

"So the story takes place in the universe?" Fu Junle asked with a frown.

Of course, Lin Xiao understands Fu Junle's concerns, if the story takes place in the universe, then the difficulty and cost of making this animated film will increase significantly.

"On a spaceship, to be exact!" Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Do those two robots communicate in human language?" Fu Junle asked again, although he basically did not go to the front line to personally participate in the production of animated films, but he was also an animation producer, so he was very clear about the animation process.

Lin Xiao shook his head and said: "This should be the biggest challenge that "Robot Story" will face, how to clearly express the development of the whole story without dialogue!"

"No dialogue, silent film?" Fu Junle's eyes widened.

"I can't say the same, it's just that the two robots use a language that we humans don't know, and Vali has an independent thinking system and way of communication, although I can't understand what they're saying, but that doesn't mean I can't express myself. ”

In fact, this is the cleverness of "Robot Story".

All the robots in the film hardly use any human language, and most of the robot characters are dubbed by voice actors using their own invented instrument sounds, from this point of view, Lin Xiao will definitely not be able to dub this animated film, and must find professional voice actors to simulate some mechanical sounds.

"Robot Story" is a very different animated film from "Kung Fu Panda" and "Despicable Me", and it is extremely special.

"Although the genre of "Robot Story" is different from "Kung Fu Panda" and "Despicable Me", it is the same CG animation, and it doesn't seem to need that plan, right?

After all, although the production of animated films requires the participation of many people, if the same technology is applied to the previous animated films, then "Robot Story" only needs the original team of the previous Sanle to do it.

"Yes, another animated movie, completely different from the previous one, how can I say it? It's kind of retro. Lin Xiao said.

"Retro, could it be a hand-drawn anime?" Fu Junle asked with wide eyes.

"Yes, although it will definitely use computer coloring and compositing, but the background must still be hand-drawn, that is, hand-drawn line drawing plus computer coloring and hand-painted background. Lin Xiao said.

"Shhh

In the earliest days, cartoons and animated films were almost hand-drawn, and of course he knew how large the production process and how difficult it was to produce hand-drawn animated films.

Especially if you want to create a high-quality product, you need too many hand-drawn sketches!

The hand-drawn animated film that once set a historical record, in just 12 seconds of footage, used a terrifying more than 1,600 hand-drawn sketches!

And according to 24 frames per second, we see that a second of animation needs to draw 24 pictures, and a movie is calculated according to 100 minutes, it needs 144,000 original drawings, which is a huge amount of work.

This is still the ideal state not to count the discarded manuscripts!

Of course, there are basically very few animation companies that use pure hand-drawn animation now, and most of them will use hand-drawn line drawings and computer coloring, and start to use CG backgrounds!

Of course, Lin Xiao can't really ask for all the original paintings to be hand-painted, but this will still be a huge project, so more original artists need to be used!
