Chapter 16: Done!
"You're not kidding?" Tian Ze didn't care about the coffee dripping from the table, looked at Zhou Yu and said stunned. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Creating a 3D animation is not an easy task.
Designing the original art, modeling, drawing textures, making movements, adjusting expressions, adding special effects, adjusting animations, etc., these are basically the general steps of making a 3D animation.
A 3D animation can be said to be a point, a surface, a pixel, a keyframe, and trillions of subtle depictions. If you want to speed up, you have to hire a lot of people to work together at the same time, which costs a lot of money! Taking 500 people as an example, the half-year salary is estimated to be 12.5 million.
The better and more detailed it is, the longer it will take for the computer to render.
Under conservative calculation, a high-end animation with a resolution of 4K takes one hour to render, and a movie needs 129,600 hours to render based on 90 minutes, which is 5,400 days. If you use 100 computers to render 24 hours a day at the same time, it will take 54 days, which is a lot of money.
And that's not even counting electricity bills and rent.
If you add planning fees, advertising fees, management fees, publishing fees, etc., you will have to spend a few million yuan. In the middle, you have to think about modifications, entertainment, or something.
Therefore, making a 3D animation is very expensive and time-consuming, let's take "The Return of the Great Sage"! It cost $10 million to make, and it took three years to make.
Of course, if the production efficiency is high, it is estimated that some savings can be made.
Zhou Yu now said that he wants to make his own animation, how can this not surprise Tianze?
Let's not talk about money first, let's talk about people, does Zhou Yu have it?
The people mentioned here are not casually pulled on the street, but talents who know how to draw, model, special effects, screenwriters, and directors, among which screenwriters and directors are easy to say, but there are not many talents who know drawing, modeling, and special effects in China, and they are not so easy to recruit.
"Hehe, let's just talk about it!"
Zhou Yu said.
"It's not impossible, though." Tian Ze's eyes turned.
"Master, do you mean it really?" Zhou Yu swallowed and foamed.
"I don't have time to joke with you." Tian Ze didn't have a good airway.
"Tell me, master, you can really make high-level 3D animations? Money is not a problem, as long as you nod, I can still get one or two hundred million. Zhou Yu asked impatiently, his face full of excitement.
Good guy, as soon as you open your mouth, it's one or two hundred million.
What a tyrant!
"I didn't do it, you did it." Tian Ze pointed at Zhou Yu and said.
"Damn, you're kidding me!" Zhou Yu didn't have a good airway.
"No, I'm not kidding."
Tian Ze said with a serious face.
"It's not a joke, I don't know anything about animation at all except playing, how do you ask me to make an animation? Looking at the country so far, there has been a "Return of the Great Sage" that can have a long face, and you can imagine the difficulty of 3D animation production. Zhou Yu still thought that Tianze was teasing him, so he was tasteless.
"Look at your appearance." Tian Ze glared at Zhou Yu and said, "With me, what are you afraid of." ”
"Didn't you make a move?"
Zhou Yu said strangely.
"Listen!" Tian Ze rolled his eyes and said.
"Okay, okay, you say." Zhou Yu raised his hand and said to mercy.
"Ahem, it's not that I don't shoot, I only shoot last." Seeing that Zhou Yu didn't understand what he meant, Tian Ze continued to speak, "You will recruit people to do the animation, but you only do the preliminary work such as original painting, modeling, drawing textures, and making up movements. As for the rest of the expressions, special effects, and animations, including rendering, I have all covered, and I guarantee that you will get to the level of Hollywood. ”
That is, just now, Tianze suddenly thought that the optimization function of the PS system in his mind was very rebellious! An ordinary cover can optimize the effect of a Hollywood blockbuster, and it is no problem to optimize an animated film. Others need a little bit of production, Tianze doesn't need it! You only need to import half of the 3D animation into the ps system, what effect do you want, it's not a matter of Tianze's thoughts?
Seeing that Zhou Yu was still stunned, there was no reaction at all.
Tian Ze frowned, and said again, "I omit the need to adjust expressions, add special effects, adjust animation, rendering, etc., the post-production process, although the preliminary work is also very cumbersome, but it is not so difficult, you can recruit a few people casually, and you can do it for about 10 million yuan." ”
"Why, you can't even do this?" After speaking, Tian Ze asked again.
"No, no......"
Zhou Yu stammered.
"Forget it."
Tian Ze said disappointedly.
"No, it's done! Master, you must take me with you! Zhou Yu grabbed Tian Ze's left hand and finally finished speaking, but looking at his suffocated red face, Tian Ze was really afraid that he would go into shock with excitement.
"Let go, I'm not as good as Long Yang." Tian Ze shook off Zhou Yu's hand and said with a look of disgust.
"Master, you must take me with you!" Zhou Yu didn't care, he still stared at Tian Ze scorchingly, like a very resentful little daughter-in-law, so that Tian Ze almost couldn't help but punch him in the face.
"Okay, okay, I have two conditions to explain to you first, if you agree, we can cooperate once, if not, just as I didn't say anything." Tian Ze glared at Zhou Yu fiercely, thought about it and said.
"Master, you say, don't talk about two conditions, even ten conditions, I will promise you."
Zhou Yu immediately assured.
Tian Ze nodded and said, "Okay, the first condition, the post-production cost, I'll give you 50 million, you don't have any objection to this, right?" ”
"No, is 50 million enough?"
Zhou Yu asked rhetorically.
It's not Tianzehei, it's not that Zhou Yu is stupid.
Think about it! How much did the 90-minute "The Return of the Great Sage" cost? That's a whole $10 million! And the effect made by Tianze will only be better than "The Return of the Great Sage". In this way, Zhou Yu has taken a big advantage, and it won't take three years for Tianze to do the later stage, how much work does this save?
"The second condition is that I will split half with you at the box office." Tian Ze nodded and continued.
After speaking, Tian Ze locked his gaze on Zhou Yu's eyes.
Really speaking, Tianze's condition is a bit excessive, Zhou Yu is an investor after all, Tianze will take half of the profits when he opens his mouth, and if he has a bad temper, he may directly turn his face with Tianze.
"No problem." What Tianze didn't expect was that Zhou Yu agreed without even thinking about it.
"You agree?"
Tianze was a little unconvinced.
"Nonsense, without your technology, our 3D cartoons wouldn't have worked! In this way, I will contribute funds, you will contribute technology, and you should share the profits equally with me, why do I disagree? Zhou Yu asked with a strange expression, so that Tianze had nothing to say.
Oh, yes! Zhou Yu's funds are very important, and without funds, let alone make any 3D animations. But Tianze's technology is not important? Without Tianze's technical support, even if Zhou Yu can produce a 3D cartoon, it is estimated that it can only be shoddy, and there will be no box office at all.
"Let's go, let's talk slowly in another place."
Tian Ze got up and greeted.
Making a 3D animation is a big undertaking, even if it doesn't have to be a post-production process. For example, directors and screenwriters are very important, and naturally they can't be talked about for a while.
"Where are you going?"
Zhou Yu asked casually.
"Of course it's Shangri-La, you still owe me a meal!" Tian Ze said as a matter of course.
"Damn!" Zhou Yu compared a middle finger.
The two laughed as they walked out of the coffee house.
