(I'm late again, sorry!, my procrastination...... ）

As soon as he returned from his sister's house, Duane locked himself in his study.

He sat in his chair and thought for a long time, then pulled out a piece of A4 paper from the pile of A4 paper on his desk, took out a pen from the pen holder, and began to draw on the paper, outlining the appearance of a lion cub.

All the knowledge he had learned before was about live-action films, and animated films were an unfamiliar field for him, and he didn't understand a lot of things, which he needed to learn slowly. But there is one basic thing he still knows, that is, if he wants to make an animated movie that he wants, and to make the animated film popular, the character image is very important.

The character image of an animated film is equivalent to casting in a live-action movie.

In live-action films, the success of a movie is very much related to casting: if the protagonist of your movie is very popular with the audience and easy to make the audience feel good, then your film has a good chance of success, which is why the actors are always handsome guys and beautiful women, because people always appreciate and love beautiful things. Now there are even many audiences who don't care about the story of the movie and the acting skills of the actors, and they specialize in staring at a handsome guy or beautiful woman to watch movies and TV series, which shows the importance of casting.

Therefore, if he really wants to make "The Lion King", then the appearance of this lion cub is very important, he has to make the audience like this lion cub at a glance and then lower his requirements, at least it must not be rejected.

Thanks to the art he studied for a period of time before filming "The Terminator", Duane's painting skills are now okay, especially after a lot of storyboard painting in the two films "The Terminator" and "One Flew Over the Asylum", his painting skills have become more and more proficient, and he quickly sketched the appearance of this lion cub.

Finally, he held up the paper in his hand and stared at the lion cub in the painting for a long time.

The lion cub on the paper, with big eyes, is very young, grinning, a bit like a dog and a bit like a cat, and most importantly, the style of painting this lion cub is completely different from the traditional Chinese painting style.

Although I have not been in contact with the production of animated films, I have seen some of them, so Du An's also knows that Chinese animated films at this stage are greatly influenced by traditional Chinese culture, and have a unique style, which can be recognized at a glance in the world, this is Chinese animation.

For example, the animation "Three Monks" draws on the style of Chinese opera, the classic animation "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" successfully uses the murals of ancient temples, "The Kingdom of Ginseng" is a work of traditional Chinese paper-cutting art projected on the screen, and "Luling" and "Landscape Love" are born from the freehand flowers and birds and freehand landscapes in Chinese painting......

But the image of the lion cub he is painting now has nothing to do with traditional Chinese culture.

"Pretty much ......"

Duane looked at the lion cub and muttered to himself.

His painting skills are not bad, and he is becoming more and more proficient, and this little lion is outlined, which is not much different from the little lion in his memory.

Duane put down the piece of paper, pulled out another one, and began to draw the other characters. Soon, one character after another was born in his pen: wild boar, meerkat, lioness cub, old lion...... All of them are vivid, or cute, or charming, or majestic, or insidious, basically the characters can be seen at a glance from the character image.

This is exactly what Duane wants: children are simple-minded, and it is impossible to guess your character's personality, so cartoons can't do ******** that way, and use any inconsistent form to express Xiàn. Cartoons have to be the same on the outside and on the outside, and what kind of character you have to do is directly expressed in appearance to give children a clear signal.

And the characters he painted followed this principle.

When he finally stopped, the main characters of The Lion King were basically all drawn.

Duane took the papers, looked at them one by one, examined them, and when he was sure that there were no problems, he began to think about the next question.

He doesn't plan to invest too much time in this cartoon, so if he wants to make this cartoon, it will take the form of inviting another director to co-direct with him as he and his sister Du Ping said, and throw all the specific work to this director to do.

But in doing so, communication is a problem: he has to make the director know exactly what he wants and what he wants, and he wants to do it, and he does it, which takes a lot of time.

But this is not in a hurry, he can do it slowly, anyway, this movie is not something that can be completed in a while and a half, animated movies have always taken a long time, like "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", it took two years to paint just the painting, his "The Lion King" If you do, it will only take longer, because this is a story that takes place in the African savannah, and according to Duane's philosophy of doing it well, he will probably go to Africa to shoot and shoot, and then make it on the basis of these real landforms, which is another time-consuming process.

But before that, he has one more big problem to solve, and that is his animation company.

Thinking of this, Duane took out his mobile phone, found a number in the address book and dialed it.

After a while, the phone was connected.

"Hey,"

"Mr. Du, what's wrong?"

The person on the other end of the phone was Feng Kang.

Since the acquisition of Industrial Light & Magic and seeing Feng Kang's work ability, Du Kang hired him as his personal consultant, and only Feng Kang would call him Mr. Du, and everyone else generally called him Director Du.

"That's right, I want to buy an animation company, and I need to have a well-established production team of my own, and it is in a good financial position, and the debt is not too large......"

Du An's request was explained, and Feng Kang laughed at the other end, "Mr. Du, why are you thinking about buying an animation company again?"

"There's an animated film I want to do. ”

If you want to make an animated film? You can go straight out and find a company to do it, without having to buy a company, Duane should have other ideas.

However, Feng Kang did not continue: in fact, he did agree with the idea of buying an animation company, and even, in his opinion, it was better to acquire another film and television production company, so that Duane's entire industry could form a chain, form a film and television empire, and develop more steadily. However, he did not mention this mention once after it was said once and put aside by Duane.

"Okay, I'll see if there are any companies that are more suitable for acquisition, and I'll make a report to you in two days. ”

"Okay. ”

After explaining the matter to Feng Kang, Du Kang hung up the phone, picked up the paper on the table, folded it, put it aside, turned on the computer and began to browse the web.

The animated film "The Lion King" just has an idea, there are a lot of things to do, it takes a long time, and there is no hurry, he still has other things to do at the moment, such as "The Terminator".

opened his blog and glanced at his attention, a little more than 100,000, he remembered that yesterday it was more than 90,000, less than 100,000, and today it finally exceeded 100,000.

Since the release of "One Flew Over the Asylum", his blog attention has been rising, and since "One Flew Over the Asylum", the speed of attention has slowed down, but it is still rising steadily, and finally exceeded 100,000 today, which is gratifying.

Duane thought as he began to write a new journal, "Note, the following person is a dangerous person who has crossed over in the future, with great violent tendencies and destructive force, if you see this person, for the safety of you and others, please stay away from him immediately, keep a distance from him, and please call the police number of the Time and Space Administration immediately, 682xxxxx, you will get a beautiful gift provided by the Time and Space Administration, and you can participate in the lottery and have a chance to get a day trip to the Qin Dynasty." Finally, I would like to appeal that it is everyone's responsibility to maintain the stability of time and space. ”

After he finished writing, he clicked on the Insert Picture option and inserted a photo of Su Yun from the hard drive of his computer.

I saw that in this photo, Su Yun looked at the camera expressionlessly, wearing a jacket, a very ordinary look, except for being a little bigger, he couldn't see where the danger was at all.

Once he was done, he clicked send.

He is also doing his best to promote "Terminator", although he only has more than 100,000 followers, and he doesn't know how effective the publicity is.

Not long after the new log was sent, he saw that there was a first reply.

This is a netizen named Fish Who Loves Swimming.

"Damn, I said that I can see this kind of sign everywhere I walk recently, even on a bus, and I also said why is this person so familiar, a bit like who is in "One Flew Over the Asylum", I didn't expect it to be! This is a promotional advertisement for "Terminator", right?

Duane looked at the comment and didn't move to reply.

That's right, this is the Terminator commercial. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
