Chapter 206 [Challenging the World Alone!]
The title on the business card of Xinhai City reads Falcao Art Frame Engineer. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Falcao" is also a well-known game production company in the world, but unlike SMK, it focuses on RPGs and real-time strategies.
Lin Da has also dealt with game companies for a while, and knows that the role of "art architecture engineer" in a game company is equivalent to an art crew in a film and television crew. This is still a high-sounding title, and to put it more directly, it is miscellaneous under the banner of aesthetics.
If it is a "system architecture engineer", then there are still some famous names, although there are only two words missing, but the status and contribution of the game company are worlds apart.
The system framework is equivalent to the bone, which is the soul and foundation of a game, which determines the type and direction of the game, the selling point and the kryptonite.
The so-called "artistic framework", if you are willing to spend money, directly buy the existing IP copyright design, and directly use the ready-made halo for my use. However, even if the original character image of the game company is entertaining and playable, it can still be a big hit, so there is usually a professional art team to draw more than one set of design plans for investors and producers to choose.
Xinhai City is the character who summarizes the various sets of plans and gives the final choice suggestions, which depends on the face of the big financier, and many times he has to hide his true thoughts, but he is just a porter of opinions.
It can even be quite "aggrieved" at times.
Xinhai Cheng, who has a head of ideas and ideas, is not willing to accept the helpless limitations and hard work of the current situation in his profession, and actively engages in the "artistic framework" of his own decision-making in his spare time - making animation in the real sense.
Different from the flattery and kitsch for commercial use, the kind of animation that I have been longing for a long time that tells the story and vividly depicts the characters!
Fortunately, he was exposed to a lot of cutting-edge production hardware and software in the company's workplace, which broadened his horizons and cultivated excellent basic skills. And the company's treatment to him is not thin, so that he has the ability to save a few years of bonus bonuses from overseas to buy a world-leading computing power of the "supercomputer", and choose a few of his own more comfortable animation production software, after work to devote himself to the DIY affairs of animation production.
Usually after work in the evening, when he came home and finished eating dinner made by his wife, Xinhaicheng plunged into his study and workshop and worked hard until late at night.
It is not uncommon to go to bed at 3 a.m. the next day and get up at 6 a.m. to go to work.
If it weren't for the dream of animation in his heart that pushed him to get up early and work hard, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to stick to the first real independent animation theatrical version of the film clip.
For him, this work is like his own flesh and blood, although the total length is only a short twenty-five minutes.
You must know that these 25 minutes, after countless processes such as director, script, original painting, art, background, editing, soundtrack, dubbing, synthesis, editing, rendering, editing, etc., condensed his hard work for nearly a year and three months, it is a mixture of light and shadow in the long and lonely night!
He couldn't hold back his excitement, and watched it over and over again in front of the computer, every picture and every detail flashed in his memory kindly, and he didn't feel tears in his eyes after seeing it.
It's really not easy.
He has always told himself that "the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment", but he still can't help but want to promote his work to the official media platform, so that the work can be seen by the public, and arouse the resonance of those who silently exist in all corners of the city.
But how can this kind of "personal incursion" without background move against the tide of commercial production and set off waves of independent animation?
Not to mention the quality and charm of the work itself, there is not even an effective interface with the boat that Xinhai City is riding in the huge media battleship!
He traveled to major TV stations and film and television distribution companies with animation copies, but the answers were basically surprisingly consistent wherever he went:
You're talented, and we can't help it!
The initial bit of arrogance in Xinhai City has been gradually polished away in the cold and unforgiving reality, leaving only an exhausted body and a disheartened heart to stagger forward like a walking corpse in this oppressive steel jungle.
This time "Neon TV", he sees it as his last chance!
If not, then goodbye, my ideal!
Everything was as I expected, but no one was willing to provide even the slightest opportunity for their efforts.
Capital first, market first!
When he was about to take the elevator to leave this last sad place, he ran into Lin Daya and his party!
Among these three people, one young man is vigorous and magnificent, and should be the leader of the group; the other is a young man with vicissitudes of life, harsh and serious, and I am afraid that he is engaged in some kind of leadership work; and the other young man is careless and unkempt, and seeing that the middle phalanx of his right hand is seriously deformed, he should hold a pen all the year round, and he is either a painter or a writer.
I guessed that it was the same thing, because the business card exchanged from the young man who took the lead was impressively written on it, "Art Director of AKBS Planning"!
The other two didn't exchange business cards, but as you can tell from the conversation, most of them are professionals working in the arts.
That leader is also aware of such new things as "supercomputers" and "CG modeling"!
You must know that thanks to these two powerful weapons, you can greatly save your own creative time and production costs, and you can make the painstaking baby animation works come out as soon as possible.
The young man who didn't seem to be very energetic actually counted the frames of the animation, but he had to be impressed by him.
In fact, the most incomprehensible thing is the young man surnamed Lin who took the initiative to invite him to the café, just looking at his appearance and business card, he really can't guess what kind of medicine is sold in his old man's gourd!
Hey, whatever kind of medicine it is! Even if it's poison, as long as it gives me a chance to show it, I'll admit it!
Now, there is no way back, but to "die a horse as a live horse doctor"!
It seems that they still have a good talk with the TV station, maybe there are some contacts and cut-offs!
"Well, can I take advantage of your precious time?" Shinkai Cheng pleaded with the three men with different appearances and personalities.
"It's coming!" said to someone.
"It doesn't take too long, just twenty-five minutes!" Shinkai continued, his hands propped up on the coffee table, almost shouting in a voice that was surprisingly loud.
"Well, that's just waiting for your words! Come on, let's see which of his works will be displayed by the new sea city, the emerging independent director in the previous world, and the cutting-edge heretic who single-handedly supported the sky!" the man still thought silently in his heart.
