After receiving the order, Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio worked overtime to organize the best art animation producers in the factory. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info However, when the task was explained, many artists in Shangmei Film were a little emotional.

"Learn Japanese animation?"

"There are studious people in Japanese animation? The father of Japanese animation saw us and screamed at his predecessors. ”

"I've been painting ink painting for most of my life, and you're going to learn sketching for now?"

Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio is not only the most powerful animation studio in New China, but also the originator of Chinese ink animation.

Later, young people in China basically grew up watching cartoons from the United States and Japan, and in their eyes, domestic animation is synonymous with low production level at a young age. However, many people have never thought that China was once an animation powerhouse.

In the middle of the 20th century, the world's animated films were mainly the American model and the Soviet model, but at the same time, the predecessors of China's animation industry, such as the Wan Brothers, Tewei, Xu Jingda, Qian Jiajun, Dai Tielang, Jin Xi, Sun Lijun, Jia Wei and others, created unprecedented ink animation. After the international debut of ink animation, it caused huge shocks and repercussions in countries all over the world. In the 50s~60s, Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio followed the ink animation, and created an unprecedented paper-cut animation and puppet animation, making a large number of traditional Chinese folk arts in the form of animation in front of the audience. At that time, Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio was definitely the world's first-class animation studio.

However, those are the old calendars, the current pattern of the animation industry in the United States, the second in Japan. American animation is the strongest, and since the establishment of animation companies such as Disney, their influence has never been weak. Japan was not originally an animation powerhouse, and the animation industry was definitely not its quintessence, but because of a group of animators in the fifties and sixties, especially Osamu Tezuka, who was not only an excellent animation director, but also created a variety of far-reaching rules, which was also a key factor in the rise of Japanese animation. For example, the animation production committee system has laid the foundation for the development of the Japanese animation industry for decades.

In the early 80s, the Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio, although it actively cooperated with foreign countries, including being willing to become an outsourcing company with overseas capital, and giving money to produce animation, there was no problem.

But it was Shinden Toys that allowed these old-timers in the animation industry to learn Japanese animation.

This inevitably makes some veteran animators feel that they can't hold their faces, and they have not been to Japan, or in the fifties and sixties, many people have visited Japan, and in the early eighties, they brought their works to Japan to participate in the exhibition, and a bunch of Japanese animators came to support them like pilgrimages. Let them, the old-timers, turn around and learn from the juniors?

It's some young people who feel a little happy. Because, these young people originally preferred overseas animation. Because, they are more inclined to entertain than edutainment.

Chinese animation is not like the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union's animation is completely crooked, and it is still the original satirical cartoon and animation, and many animations do not have character dialogue plots from beginning to end, but are accompanied by animation and music.

Nowadays, Soviet animation has become a critical weapon against each other, only seeing aggression, no entertainment effect at all, and even the educational value of positive energy.

The problems of Shanghai art film production are not as ill as those of Soviet animation, but at present, they are also immersed in the glory of the past, so that they can humbly learn Japanese animation, and they can't let go.

"Comrades, in the past, when the Japanese animation industry was weak, they were learning from us, in fact, they not only learned our ink animation, but also learned more from European and American animation, and now, Japanese animation has gradually developed its own style, and Japanese animation is broadcast everywhere on television all over the world, what about our animation? Comrades, we should realize that at this stage, our animation level has fallen behind! It is not shameful to be backward, but shameful to pretend not to be invisible! Learning Japanese animation is not only because of the requirements of Hong Kong investors, but also because our creative level objectively does not meet its requirements. For the sake of future development, we must face up to the reality that we have fallen behind!" Tewei, the old director of the Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio, even personally mobilized the production staff, "If you are a little self-motivated, then you should work hard to learn to catch up, just like in the fifties and sixties after the war, when Japan actively studied our ink animation." Now it's our turn to learn Japanese animation, and if you don't learn it, I'll take the lead. It doesn't matter if I can't learn well, young people nowadays will definitely learn well. ”

"That's right! There is no shame in being behind, but it is shameful to cover your ears and steal the bell and pretend not to know. ”

"Old factory director, don't say it, we will definitely fight for breath!"

"Isn't it just learning the strengths of Little Japan? Is there anything great, we not only learn, but also learn better than Little Japan's animation!"

After the mobilization of the creative staff, the creative team of more than 500 people divided into groups to organize and study the materials.

After half a month of study, the production team of Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio resisted from the beginning, gradually began to accept it, and learned new knowledge like a sponge. These top animators in China, after being ashamed and brave, gradually burst out with infinite combat effectiveness.

……

At the beginning of July, the original painting team of "4WD Heroes" also came from Hong Kong and brought a lot of first-hand information. These materials have been of great help to the creation of animation.

At the same time, Hong Kong's new venture electronics group also dispatched a computer post-production team to participate in the post-production of animation. The team arrived in Shanghai with dozens of tons of computers that were flown in.

Although the computers that came by air are not as powerful as the computers in the headquarters of Xinchuang Electronics, they are also large-scale computers with a floating point performance of more than 100 million times per second, with a computer memory of 128MB and a 40GB mechanical hard disk. If you get it to the next generation,This configuration opens a QQ and input method,Chat will be stuck and want to go crazy。

But in this day and age, the performance of such a computer is already quite strong. You must know that the Galaxy computer has been developed in China, and the performance of self-produced CPU floating-point operations has been increased from 100 million to 250 million times as originally planned, which is already a huge progress.

And that kind of computer, the film industry is afraid that it will not be used, even if the national key scientific research project wants to use the computing performance of that supercomputer, it needs to wait in the back. Large-scale computers are also used in the animation films, and the post-editing of the computer is not included in the cost budget. That is, Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio began to have more abundant production funds.
