Zhang Xuan is very satisfied with his own move of making cartoons. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Xuan makes cartoons, not only can he get extra income, but it doesn't take up too much time, and he can also get a little extra separate space.

Otherwise, being with Zhao Yazi all day now is indeed a bit unfree.

Hehe.

Zhang Xuan didn't plan to make time for anything bad.

However, after working with Zhao Yazi, I found out that it is not possible for the two of them to be together for 24 hours, and it is better for men and women to have a little distance.

Zhang Xuan does animation, and for the future development, he will make high-quality movies and TV series in the future, which requires a lot of contact with animation production!

Animation is divided into 2D and 3D: in 2D, each shot is drawn frame by frame, and although there is now a computer that can reduce a lot of workload (in the past, people like Miyazaki were drawn by hand frame by frame), but it will take at least ten to twenty minutes for a person to have the ability to take at least a frame.

That's a lot of work.

And the most troublesome part of animation is that you can't draw this feeling anymore if you change people, and you generally spend a lot of time in the communication within the team in order to even play.

Even in the 21st century, with the help of many new technologies, the audience is becoming more and more sharp-eyed.

It seems that the heroine in Spirited Away is running in the pig shed, because the pig is also moving, and there is an extra layer of background invisibly, which means that the little girl who only needs to draw the movement, now even the pig in the background needs to be drawn frame by frame.

The amount of work to pick out details is growing exponentially, and there is a shortage of such professionals themselves.

On the one hand, the cost of 3D is the cost of software, and it is normal to use five or six software in a row to do 3D animation, which are all professional-grade.

As little as tens of thousands of dollars, as much as tens of millions of dollars, not Disney's level can't afford to use them at all.

Secondly, the hardware that can afford to run these software is also very expensive.

Zhang Xuan is now making cartoons, and there is a big problem, if the current technology does not reach 3D, he will make a 3D animation, which cannot be explained.

Zhang Xuan also needs the digestion ability of the market, and it is definitely not possible to smash out a bunch of works at once.

Therefore, in the 80s, Zhang Xuan could only sell 2D animation.

The real big head is still artificial, and there are many, many people in the world who can do this job, but there are only a handful of people who can do it so beautifully.

Even if you invite people from other people's studios to teach you how to do it, you can't do it at that level, this is the gap.

If you want to comprehensively improve the film industry in the Chinese entertainment industry, software, hardware, and talents must keep up.

Which high-cost movie doesn't use a lot of special effects?

Aren't these special effects made by animation?

The frame rate of the cartoon, 24 per second is a full animation.

Before Zhang Xuan came into contact with the overlord cultivation system in the entertainment industry, he thought that 24 Zhen's animation must be smooth, but this is not entirely the case.

Playing action FPS games, when the fight is fierce, you can find that 24 Zhen is actually not smooth.

In fact, the smooth movement is above 30 zhen, and the full fluency is 60 zhen.

The refresh rate of a normal home LCD monitor is around 60-70Hz, if the monitor is 60Hz and the game runs to 100FPS, then 40 beams will be lost every second.

For animation, the number of frames is not an absolute test of smoothness, it depends on the rhythm and amplitude of the animation.

Otherwise, even if you draw 60 times in a second, it will feel unsmooth.

The picture of 2D animation is best understood as "how many shots per shot" rather than "how many shots per second".

Animation mostly uses three methods: "one shot one", "one shot two", and "one shot three".

They are one, two, and three paintings in one piece.

In the vast majority of cases, one beat is better than one beat two is better than one beat three.

The average number of island animations is 8 per second.,If it's a still picture, just one is on the line.,If it's a dialogue picture, it's generally only a small.、Medium、Large mouth.,That's about three.。

If it is a fight scene, the requirements are higher, and in order to be smooth, there are many more than 24 or 30 shots per second.

And there is only one picture that moves up and down, left and right, and if the range of action is not too large, it is generally only eight that can make the audience feel that it is moving.

Not only that, but the budget-saving methods accumulated over the years are not just one or two points, such as the distortion and blurring of the picture, and the storyboard skills of supervision.

And in recent years, many animations have used 2D and 3D doping, which has saved a lot of budget.

These, for Zhang Xuan, are all money!

Although he is not from a professional background, he can still understand the simple introduction in the system.

The cost of an episode of TV animation is between 1000w-3000w yen, which is between 60w-150w when converted into RMB.

Zhang Xuan learned from the entertainment industry's overlord cultivation system that the cost of the most expensive animation, one seems to be 3600w yen, and one episode is more than 2 million yuan!

Of course, money at this time in the eighties was worth more and could be divided by 10.

The cost of making a 2D animation also requires about 100,000 to 150,000 episodes.

The production cost of an episode of a cartoon is no less than that of a TV series, and the duration of a cartoon is shorter, even higher than the cost of most TV dramas.

Therefore, the replay rate of cartoons far exceeds that of TV dramas.

Both TVB and ATV offers are out.

Because of Lu Xinpei's relationship, Wang Tianlin was afraid of Lu Xinpei's calories, so she went directly to Fang Yihua.

That day, Fang Yihua talked to Zhang Xuan at the purchase rights presentation meeting on the Nanshengwei studio, and Wang Tianlin saw that TVB had the intention of extending an olive branch to Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan's talent has been recognized by the industry, and Fang Yihua appreciates Zhang Xuan's screenwriting talent.

The only way to gain the respect of your opponents is to defeat them!

These three months.

Zhang Xuan has proven himself through "A Generation of Empress Wu Zetian", "Jinghua Smoke Cloud", "I Love My Family" and "Variety Show Ace", as well as three high-grossing movies!

If Lu Xinpei was allowed to see the products of the Chinese Entertainment Company, he would definitely not ask, so he vetoed it.

"This Zhang Xuan can still make cartoons? Hehe, is there anything this kid can't do? Fang Yihua listened to Wang Tianlin's introduction and said with a smile.

"Children are very good." Wang Tianlin smiled indifferently.

Fang Yihua said while watching "Hulu Brothers": "It's very good, but no matter how well it is made, it is also for children, and it has little impact on the overall ratings, so let's open a 50,000 episode." ”

"Okay." Wang Tianlin muttered in her heart, 50,000 yuan per episode? Zhang Xuan will definitely not agree, you might as well refuse directly.

"Isn't Zhang Xuan your apprentice? If the opportunity is right, consider buying skits and variety shows from Chinese entertainment companies. Fang Yihua looked at Wang Tianlin.

Wang Tianlin muttered: "I'm afraid this won't work, the Chinese entertainment company must have a contract with ATV." ”

"Then break the contract, the lawyer's fee, TVB will pay." Fang Yihua said decisively.

Wang Tianlin was stunned, shook his head and said, "Zhang Xuan is not this kind of person. ”

"So, can you buy a script from him? I heard that "Detective Di Renjie" was written by Zhang Xuan, you look at "Detective Di Renjie" on ATV, which has no stars, and has tied our big-budget TV series. Next time Zhang Xuan has a good script, we can raise the price a little. Fang Yihua continued.

"He wants to shoot his own and sell the series directly." Wang Tianlin asked tentatively.

Fang Yihua smiled: "This kid is a big ghost, if he really wants to come out, whether it is TVB or ATV, he will not agree to him, but you can tell him that you can let him star, this is already the biggest concession." ”

"Okay, I'll tell you." Wang Tianlin took the tape of "Hulu Brothers" and went out from Fang Yihua's office.

Wang Tianlin returned the tape to Xue He and told him the quotation.

Xue He bowed and thanked him a few words, and then left.

Zhang Xuan is still waiting for news in the office.

"Not leaving?" Zhao Yazi came to Zhang Xuan to get off work.

Zhang Xuan smiled: "It's still early, why don't you go first?" ”

Zhao Yazi smiled, "Are you still waiting for TVB and ATV's offer for your cartoon?" Don't get your hopes up, it's good to sell. ”

Zhang Xuan smiled and did not speak.

"Hehe, I don't like to listen to it, then I'll go to the department store with Sister Cai." Zhao Yazi smiled and made a bow to Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan nodded.

Zhao Yazi is a mature woman, she naturally knows that she can't be tied to a man 24 hours a day, she knows how to give Zhang Xuan space appropriately, and Zhang Xuan is also very reassuring to her.

Xue He and another Sha Li, who was sent to ATV by Xue He, came back almost at the same time.

TVB's offer is 50,000 episodes.

ATV's offer is 60,000 episodes.

Zhang Xuan didn't worry about not being able to sell it at all, the price he was worried about, he looked at the price a little dumbfounded, this is really the price of beef selling cabbage!

"What? Is the price low? Sha Li didn't seem happy when she saw Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan nodded and said, "At this price, even half of the cost is not enough!" ”

"What then?" Shari was uneasy.

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly: "You get off work first, right?" Isn't Ah Yan still waiting for you to come home with you? I can solve it on my own. ”

Sha Li hummed and left, and Zhang Xuan was like an ordinary employee and boss.

Zhang Xuan couldn't figure it out, were these people idiots who didn't know how to do it, or did they make random offers?

Or do you want to deny yourself in this way?

Zhang Xuan didn't plan to ask Wang Tianlin again, knowing that Wang Tianlin had no power, it was difficult for him to ask Wang Tianlin.

"Qiu Xiaoyu, are you mistaken? 60,000 dollars a piece? How can you just quote me 60,000 yuan for an episode? Have you ever watched "Hulu Brothers"? Zhang Xuan called Qiu Xiaoyu as calmly as possible, because he was familiar with it, he didn't bother to call Manager Qiu, and called Qiu Xiaoyu directly.

Qiu Xiaoyu smiled, "We produce the same level of animation ourselves, and the cost of an episode is almost between 60,000 yuan and 70,000 yuan, if it is higher than the cost of our own production, why should we buy yours?" I don't know how to use money to train my own team? ”

"You ATV's three-legged cats, can you make cartoons of the same level as mine?" Zhang Xuan was speechless, "The price you offered is too fierce, right?" You paid 60,000 yuan to make an episode of "Hulu Brothers" for me to see? The cost of "Hulu Brothers" is more than 100,000 yuan! Do you think it's those shoddy cartoons that you ATV are showing right now? You add 100,000, so I can save my capital, right? Isn't it okay if I don't make money? ”

"Hehe, the price is not negotiable, if you don't accept it, I can't help it." Qiu Xiaoyu didn't give an inch of land.

Although these didn't cost Zhang Xuan a little effort, he still felt that it was not cost-effective!

It's an insult to art, an insult to people!

The key is that this feeling of being stifled by everyone is really unpleasant, Zhang Xuan secretly vowed that he must have his own TV station in the future!

TVB and ATV monopolized Hong Kong's television, and this situation also caused the golden age of Hong Kong film and television, and TV never kept up with the speed of movies, which also laid the groundwork for the overall decline of Hong Kong film and television in the future.

The television industry is a blood transfusion for the film industry!

Like the national football team, the fact that if you don't pay attention to the cultivation of the children's echelon, you won't be able to enter the World Cup for more than ten years, which is to pay off the debt for ignoring the construction of the echelon.

Don't say that Hong Kong film and television later declined because there was no money, even before Zhang Xuan's rebirth, Hong Kong was still among the top few in the world in terms of per capita income and overall economic level!

Talent needs time and environment to cultivate.

As the owner of a small entertainment company, Comrade Zhang Xuan is already anxious about the overall rise of the Chinese entertainment industry.

"Hey, do you have anything else to do? It's okay to hang up, I'm busy. Qiu Xiaoyu said coldly.

"Sell!" Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth!

Burst!

Qiu Xiaoyu smiled: "If you are reluctant, you don't need to be reluctant, it's like selling your wife." ”

"If I had a wife to sell, I would sell you first." Zhang Xuan was angry, but his mouth did not forget to beg for cheapness.

"Looking for a fight, don't you? If you think about it, you can always ask someone to sign the contract. But first of all, it's a buyout, you are not allowed to sell to other companies, we will retain your authorship. Qiu Xiaoyu said coldly.

"You're the boss, you can do whatever you say." Zhang Xuan hung up the phone in discouragement.

After a while, Qiu Xiaoyu's phone called again, "Hey, look at your poor baba, I'll add five thousand to your episode." ”

Zhang Xuan almost fainted out of breath, without much joy, feeling like a beggar maniac: "Then, thank you." ”

"Hmph, aren't you satisfied? This is already the highest price code for cartoon outsourcing. Qiu Xiaoyu exhaled angrily: "Who made you so honest and make such a good picture?" Now it's just cheap. ”

Zhang Xuan was speechless, what kind of mentality do you have?

Listen to Qiu Xiaoyu's meaning, take the work seriously, pay attention to quality, but be stupid?
