085 Web novel style
For production staff like Qi Xuefang, being able to get the boss's affirmation is the first step to success. Otherwise, even if I think that my work is excellent, and the boss is not satisfied, I have to redo it. Moreover, the money will not be added to it, it is considered for nothing.
No way, the investor is so strong. Of course, there are also cases when you encounter a boss who doesn't know how to do it and is played around by the production team.
In this studio, the person who dares to use this kind of crooked brain does not exist for the time being, if such a person really appears, Qi Xuefang will be the first to not let him go.
In fact, after seeing the "animation production platform", everyone is full of confidence in this studio, which has only been established for a month. will work so diligently.
In this industry, most of the people who can achieve a certain level are people who really love anime. Therefore, when you come across a good project, you will burst out with great enthusiasm.
In the same way, they need the approval of others even more, and if the boss does not recognize their results, it means that their efforts are in vain.
Therefore, when Qi Xuefang knew that Zhong Yue was not very satisfied, their hearts were all up and down.
finally stayed up until noon, and while eating, Zhong Yue rushed over.
Qi Xuefang didn't eat any food, put down his rice bowl, and stepped forward to ask, "Boss, what do you think of the film?"
Zhong Yue saw that everyone had put the dishes and chopsticks, and said in surprise, "Why don't you eat it?"
"Who has the heart to eat now. Qi Xuefang pulled him into the computer room, and the seven people behind him also followed.
After Zhong Yue sat down, he saw that they were all staring at him, and knew that if they didn't make it clear, they were afraid that they wouldn't have the heart to work hard.
"The picture and character design of the film are very good, I can only praise you. With this alone, the film will definitely be a hit. He first affirmed their achievements.
Listening to his words, the production members were relieved, which was also their proudest part.
"It's just that focusing too much on the scenery also slows down the pace of the story. Zhong Yue finally said what he was not satisfied with.
He was also involved when he was writing the script. But the script is one thing, and the filming is another. He was busy with the affairs of Yisoft Company during this time. The production of the animation didn't come later, but when I came to see it in the morning, there was a bit of a gap with what he imagined.
"But, I think it's good. "Some people can't help but disagree.
Zhong Yue was not annoyed, but asked, "Do you usually read online novels?"
Of the eight people, six nodded and two shook their heads.
Zhong Yue asked again, "The person who watched it said why he liked to watch it." ”
For a long time, no one answered.
"Jiang Quan, tell me. Zhong Yue could only name him.
Jiang Quan hesitated for a moment and said, "Because it's more cool." ”
"That's right, it's cool. ”
Zhong Yue didn't bother to ask by name, and said directly, "When we read the online text, if there are any descriptions of the scenes, they are all skipped directly, and we are watching the plot." Of course, animation can't do this, the scenery definitely needs to be there, and the picture and character design must be exquisite enough. But there is one thing, these are all in the service of the plot. ”
"Whether it's a novel, an animation, or a movie, everyone reads the story, not the writing, the picture, and the depth. Even if someone likes it, it's destined to be a niche. ”
"What I want to do is something that the public likes, a commercial work. ”
"Of course, now this version, the storytelling is not bad, and it is qualified. However, what I wanted was a different style from the mainstream cartoons now. ”
When he said this, his eyes swept over everyone, and he said slowly, "Even if it is like an online novel, the high sense of substitution, the tight rhythm, and all the shots are for the protagonist." ”
No one spoke, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and their faces were a little suspicious.
In the end, Qi Xuefang couldn't help but ask, "Is this okay?"
Zhong Yue knew that they were used to the anime, and they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to accept this style, so they could only push it with a tough attitude, saying, "You don't care if you can't do it, just do it according to my requirements." ”
At present, as a kind of cheap entertainment, online novels have an extremely wide audience, and have long become the largest group of novels. But at the same time, online novels are not recognized by orthodox literary circles.
The style of online novels can be loved by so many people. However, whether it is movies, TV series, animation, etc., there is no work that truly has the style of online novels.
Even if it's an animation adapted from a web novel, what ends up is not that kind of taste.
Zhong Yue firmly believes that if he can use the core of a web novel to produce an online style animation, it will definitely be very popular.
Not to mention anything else, online literature lovers alone are an extremely large group. With a little publicity, with excellent quality, it will definitely be a big hit.
Qi Xuefang was silent for a moment and said, "I know. ”
…………
After setting the tone, Zhong Yue took them and began to revise the first episode. First of all, he asked them to cut out a large part of the environment that had nothing to do with the plot.
When it was cut, a girl in charge of the later stage had a heartache on her face. These pictures cost them a lot of effort. Therefore, when the film was made, a large part of this scene was retained.
But in Zhong Yue's view, these are the biggest murderers who slow down the pace of the story. He could understand the production team's feelings, but he couldn't agree with their approach. Animation is mostly about storytelling, not showing off technology to them. So, don't hesitate to cut them all out and intersperse them into the plot.
Then, cut out the plot that seemed to him to be a bit protracted. In this way, the original twenty-three minutes of the film was less than thirteen minutes left. It was cut in half.
Then, he picked out some useful ones from the original cut out pictures and added them. The film is increased to about fifteen minutes.
The rest will have to be remade.
Zhong Yue was worried that they would not be able to master the style he requested, and for the next half month, he spent most of his time in the studio, taking control of it himself.
In the preliminary preparation work, all the most time-consuming work of environmental scenery and character design has been done. On the "animation production platform", you only need to control the actions of the characters as if you were playing a game, and it is very easy to shoot.
In just half a month, five episodes have been completed, with an average of one episode in three days, plus post-rendering and sound effects.
The production is getting smoother and smoother, so he doesn't have to worry about it. The biggest headache now is the soundtrack and dubbing.
PS: I've always thought about how exciting it would be to be able to adapt my favorite web novel into an animation in its original form. Realistically, it is impossible to estimate it in a short period of time. I had to let the protagonist do it. Finally, ask for more referral votes.
