Chapter 1269 - Losing Money Is My Business, It Has Nothing to Do With You (First Update)
You don't have to worry about losing money
"You kid, you're still too direct. Bayi Chinese?net? ? ≠=≥.≠8≈1≤Z≈≤.≠COM" Lin Yu quickly interrupted Zou Da's words when he heard this, turned around and looked at Gao Leng slightly apologetically: "I'm really sorry, Zou Da is like this, hey, he is a pure technician, his brain is technical, he doesn't understand this, his heart is good, don't care." ”
"I don't care, what he says is true. Gao Leng smiled angrily, took a mouthful of food, put it in his mouth and chewed: "I really don't have the money to do the combination of ink animation and CG technology." ”
Zou Da on the side nodded frantically, and Lin Yu also smiled very tactfully.
This is true.
Ink animation is the empire's original animation, in the form of ink painting to build a cartoon, hand-drawn cartoon to build a few seconds of animation time need to draw one or two hundred ink paintings, these two hundred ink paintings are connected to form a dynamic effect, so how many ink paintings do you need for a two-hour cartoon?
This does not include some of the paintings that were discarded.
It's not something that can be done by a single cartoonist, it's often done by a comic team. Unlike other comics, landscape painting requires strong drawing ability, and general cartoons can recruit one or two hundred people with one move. Take Miyazaki's cartoons as an example, his team of cartoonists has more than 200 people.
But cartoonists are good at tricks, but people who can draw landscape paintings are hard to find.
Nowadays, there are not many young people who draw ink paintings, and even fewer can draw well, and the team of cartoonists needs a lot of manpower and material resources.
Not to mention talking to netbsp; Hayao Miyazaki is a well-known cartoonist in Japan, and the work he is still working on is the only work he has cooperated with CG technology in his life, at the age of 76 this year, this first and only one is free from hand-drawing, and the animation created with CG special effects technology will not be completed until 2o19, and the whole process is as long as four or five years.
Japan's CG special effects are okay, and there is also a CG special effects technical team, and it takes so long when there is a technical team, let alone the empire. The empire's CG special effects are the five-cent special effects that are often joked about on the Internet, not to mention that you have to find a CG technical team of more than 100 people, you are looking for an expert-level CG technician, I'm afraid there is only Zou Da.
It can be said that it is extremely difficult to realize a full-length ink cartoon, let alone an ink cartoon in cooperation with CG Technology.
This requires an expert who is very good at ink painting, who not only has the ability to paint independently, but also has the imagination to make cartoons, and the ability to lead a large group of experts in ink animation to draw together.
One or two experts who are excellent at ink painting are easy to find, but it is difficult to find more than two hundred masters. Any of the latter conditions is extremely difficult.
"Then why don't you ask a foreign CG technical team to do it?" Xiaodan was a little puzzled: "If we only need to set up a domestic ink animation and team, it will be much easier." ”
"Imperial ink animation is an imperial originality and a national first-class technical secret. Although around 1986, many ink and landscape painting experts went to the sea and brought their skills out to Japan and other countries to learn something, but the core painting method was still in the hands of the empire, and ink animation would not cooperate with foreign CG teams. Gao Leng explained.
"So, if you want to shoot ink animation, and you want to combine it with CG, wouldn't it be necessary to cultivate both a CG team and an ink animation team?!" Xiao Dan's eyes widened.
Either of these teams is difficult. The ink animation team needs time, you can start from the young painters in the academy, from the novice to be able to draw good ink painting needs to be cultivated for many years, and the training time of a huge ink painting team is ten years.
The CG team needs money, and there are many teams that do CG special effects in China, all of which are smashed out of money, and the smashed ones are still five-cent special effects, not to mention that Gao Leng is to make exquisite CG, and it can be said that more than a billion yuan is thrown into it and you can't even see the splash.
"One or two tens of billions can build a good CG company. Zou Da said, it's easy to say, one or two hundred billion!
Xiao Shan swallowed his saliva with difficulty, no wonder this Zou Da spoke directly, Gao Leng really has no money to play this, let alone Gao Leng, if China wants to make such a project that combines ink animation and CG, even Su Su can't do it.
As early as 1984, when Hayao Miyazaki came to the empire and longed to cooperate with China in ink animation, even if he did not cooperate with CG technology, he cooperated in hand-painting this layer, which was said to be an art that could only be completed by the socialist state system: only a socialist country would be willing to invest in a project regardless of the cost.
It's too hard and too hard for a company to invest in doing this at any cost.
What Lianliantai Group can't handle, what is Gao Leng and Zou Da cooperating? Xiao Dan thought to himself, he didn't answer again, but pricked up his ears to listen, and accompanied Lin Yu for a drink from time to time.
"Xing Ye said, dreams must be had, otherwise what is the difference between them and salted fish. Gao Leng's tone became serious, he looked at Zou Da and continued: "Let's talk about our cooperation." ”
After hearing this, Lin Yu and Zou Da also put down the dishes and chopsticks and became serious.
talked about dreams, drank wine for so long, touched each other's temperament a little bit, and soon got to the point.
"I invited Director Lin to officially join the director team of our Starlight Group, and we will make a director's establishment by ourselves, and we will shoot high-quality TV series or high-quality movies. Speaking of which, Gao Leng looked at Lin Yu and saw that she just smiled slightly, filming boutique projects is not very attractive to her, at her age, she has been in this circle for so long, too many people say that they want to cooperate with her to shoot boutique products.
"At the same time, I hope that the special effects of our TV series of Starlight Group can cooperate with Mr. Zou and your CG technology company, and it will be a permanent cooperation. When Gao Leng said this, Lin Yu's eyes lit up, and she wrote this item in the book that Gao Leng handed her, although she had already known it, she still looked very happy.
"That's great. Zou Da looked at Gao Leng gratefully as if he had been in a drought for a long time: "My technology company has been losing money for three or four years, and I thought that since I joined Mr. Miyazaki's team, then my technology is excellent, and I should be able to make a job if I set up a CG technology company in China, but I didn't expect ......."
"I didn't expect that the big 6 film and television companies would either cooperate with Europe and the United States to do tall special effects, or pay five cents for special effects. Lin Yu took over the conversation and pointed at Zou Da with a wry smile: "I want Xiao Zou to do a five-cent special effect, he said that he can't afford to lose this person, and he is afraid that he will smash his signboard, so he won't do it." It's been three years since it opened, and I've done a few MV special effects, and the singers of these MVs have only taken care of me when I know them. ”
High is not low, that's probably it.
"If Mr. Miyazaki knew that I was out there to undertake five-cent special effects, I was afraid that he would have blasted me out of the team. Zou Da scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and justified himself for not doing five-cent special effects: "Mr. Gao, you know this industry so well, you must know Mr. Miyazaki's style, what he hates the most is that one thing is too watery, if you want to do it, you have to do the best." ”
Zou Da was very happy when he heard Gao Leng's very sure words of intention to cooperate. You must know that if his CG technology company cooperates with Starlight Group, and it is a permanent cooperation, it will be a big customer.
"Mr. Gao, the three high-quality TV series you invested in this year don't need many special effects, right?" Lin Yu suppressed the joy in his heart and said disapprovingly.
There are not many special effects in these three films, that is, there are not many places where Zou Da can make money.
"It's not much, but we have to see the best technology for any special effect. Gao Leng was neither humble nor arrogant, he took the wine glass in his hand and shook it a few times, looked at Lin Yu and asked rhetorically: "Mr. Lin, you have been a director for so long, you should know in your heart that if these three films are really filmed well, they will make money, and they will make a lot of money." It's just that the past two years have not been very profitable, Mr. Zou's company has lost money for three years, and I can undertake some of our projects in the next two years, and I can also raise a CG technology team together, which is a great thing for Mr. Zou. ”
Lin Yu stretched out his hand and pushed Qi Er's head behind the root of his ear.
"You raise his CG technical team, which requires a lot of money, and we ...... money" Xiao Shan was a little anxious when he heard this, lowered his voice and pulled the corners of his cold clothes.
"You help me raise my CG team?!" Zou Da was very surprised when he heard it.
"Yes. Gao Leng nodded affirmatively: "Since my TV series is going to cooperate with you permanently, then your team can't be dispersed, you have to grow all the way, after all, my TV series will be filmed all the time." I'll keep all your people for you, and I'll give you the project. ”
This kind of good thing made Zou Da can't believe it.
"Mr. Gao, what do you need us to provide for your money and efforts?" Compared with Zou Da's excitement, the experienced Lin Yu seemed much calmer.
There is no such thing as pie in vain, and there is more to gain than to have something.
"I said, I only need you, Director Lin, to join our Starlight Group, become the director of our Starlight Group's TV drama department, and be responsible for directing the "Weiwei" I invested, as well as the book you can see in the future. ”
"That's it?" Lin Yu was a little surprised.
Director of the TV Drama Department of Starlight Group, this position is naturally suitable for Lin Yu, who is now 65 years old, and filming a Weiwei film is not a problem for her. But she is 65 years old, and Gao Leng is willing to pay so much to Zou Da's CG technology company for a 65-year-old director, which makes Lin Yu unimaginable.
"Mr. Gao, you raise Zou Da's technical team, although his team is now only about a dozen people, but these ten or so people are all highly paid, and now CG technology is not an expert level for these ten or so people, you are losing money like this. Lin Yu reminded.
After all, it had been three years since he had lost before, otherwise he would not have been able to mention this in the cold information, which made Lin Yu's heart moved.
"It's my business to lose money or not. Gao Leng smiled very domineeringly: "When the time comes, the bank will look for me to ask for my life, and I will die with a wipe of my neck and escape, it is also my business, in my concept, since I want to ask you to shoot a boutique, then you don't have to think about money, you shoot well, money, I will ask for it." Since I want to cooperate with Mr. Zou in CG and am willing to support his CG team, then Mr. Zou only needs to study the technology well, bring out the apprentices, and I will ask for money. ”
[Today's third watch, speaking of backbone, some book fans see me begging for subscriptions every day and say that I have no backbone. I had insomnia yesterday, and I thought about it for a long time, what is backbone? In my concept, I worked hard to write this niche article, not writing all the way to the big star according to the way of writing the fire book, but uncharacteristically weakening the ability of Gao Leng, writing secret interviews, and writing behind the scenes of the film and television industry, this is my backbone, and I am not willing to bow my head in order to cater to the writing style of today's online articles. But I'm willing to bow my head in order to make this book better and better, and I'm willing to keep asking for subscriptions. I think that some people who have a large number of genuine book fans but write routine texts one after another, and even ask writers to write them for themselves, are spineless. My backbone lies in the fact that even if the subscription is so low that I am sorry for the alliance leader, even if so many people come to scold me for not asking for subscription, I still beg for it, and I don't want to let Gao Leng cultivate immortals, and simply pretend to be slapped in the face, even if I write that I don't need to ask for a subscription, the subscription will be extremely high. This is my backbone. 】
