Chapter 133: The Idea of the Animation Department
"Neighbors?" Ye Yu was surprised.
The villa community where the Lin family is located is very good, in addition to the environment, location and other factors, more importantly, there are many dignitaries living here, if you move here, it will be very beneficial to the expansion of personal relationships.
But the question is - are there any houses left?
"Well, the owner of the villa next to him is moving abroad, and it is estimated that he will not come back. So he was going to sell that villa. Rest assured, because the owner of the villa has been abroad all the year round, the villa has basically not been inhabited, but it is very new. The news hasn't gotten out yet, but the last time he came back and we chatted with him, he casually revealed this intention. If you're interested, I can talk to him and help you book it first. ”
Hearing this, Ye Yu was very moved.
"How much?"
"Between 15 million and 20 million. Listen to what he said last time, just pay off the house before the end of the year. He wanted to spend the last Spring Festival in Huaxia. By the way, the end of the year refers to the end of the lunar calendar. ”
At the end of the Lunar New Year?
15 million to 20 million, it may be a lot for others, but for yourself, it is really not much. By the time of the Lunar New Year, the cost of your own electronic manuscript alone will far exceed this amount.
Ye Yu thought for a while and said, "I need to go home and discuss with my parents before making a decision." ”
"Hmm. This kind of important matter really needs to be discussed by parents. Mother Lin nodded.
Hearing the conversation between her mother and Ye Yu, Lin Shier was very happy. If Ye Yu really moved to live next to him, wouldn't the two of them be able to meet every day?
Little Lori cheered - her happiness was written on her face.
……
At noon, with the kindness of the Lin family, Ye Yu stayed there for lunch.
After lunch, Xiao Lori began to pull Ye Yu to discuss the issue of comics, while Lin Shier listened quietly on the side.
After telling Xiao Lori about the general idea of a few other comics, Ye Yu suddenly stopped, thought of a question, and asked: "Xin'er, the voice actor of domestic animation, that is, the voice actor, how is the level?" ”
On the earth in the previous life, due to the late start of the domestic animation industry, island country animation was rampant.
Later, Guoman began to rise, and there were works like "Fox Demon Little Red Lady" in the comics, which were not inferior to the classic comics of the island country in Ye Yu's view, and classic 3D animations such as "Qin Shi Mingyue" also emerged in the animation.
But in Ye Yu's opinion, if Guoman wants to rise completely, there is still a big obstacle, that is-animation dubbing!
Yes, it's the anime dubbing, which is the voice actor that the island country says!
After many classic domestic comics are made into animations, they are all due to dubbing problems, which makes people can't bear to look at them directly!
To borrow the definition of "separation" and "non-separation" in "Words in the World", that is to say, the dubbing of domestic animation makes people feel very "separated"!
Of course, many people have their own opinions about the reasons for this.
And one of the reasons accepted by many people is - you think that the domestic dubbing is "separated", and the island dubbing is "not separated", just because you don't understand the island Chinese.
Specifically, in other words, the dubbing of the animation needs to be exaggerated in order to be able to express it with feeling. But the dubbing of domestic animation is closer to the way of speaking in real life, which is not exaggerated enough, so it does not have a feeling. But if it's too exaggerated, it's easy to feel contrived. Either way, it makes people feel "separated".
But when we listen to the dubbing of the island country's animation, we feel that it is not pretentious, and we feel that it is "not separated".
So, is this due to the difference in language?
No, it's not.
The dubbing of the island anime is exaggerated, but that's not how the island people speak in their daily lives. We don't sound against the law, just because we don't understand the island Chinese and don't know how the island people speak in their daily lives, so we subconsciously take the way the animated characters speak as the normal way of speaking for the island people.
The island country is a country deeply influenced by the Chinese civilization, and the people of the island country will appear more humble in interpersonal interactions, how can such a nation speak in such an exaggerated way as in the animation?
It sounds very reasonable, but Ye Yu doesn't agree with it very much, or rather, Ye Yu thinks that even if this statement is part of the reason, it is definitely not the main reason.
Ye Yu's reason is very simple, according to this statement, then, when people in the island country listen to the dubbing of the island country's animation, they will also feel contrived and feel "separated", but if this is the case, why is the island country's animation so popular in the island country? Why is it so well received?
In Ye Yu's view, the main reason for the poor dubbing of domestic animation is very simple and very naked, that is, the production cost of domestic animation is low, and I can't afford to hire a master-level dubbing talent......
Well, that's a sad reason.
If you dig deeper, it's because of the immaturity of the entire animation industry.
The industry is not mature, and voice actors who specialize in animation dubbing cannot grow well.
Just like the island country's animation dubbing before the 70s, it was actually very blunt and contrived, but with the development of the island country's animation industry, the voice actors, that is, the voice actors of the island country, the industry began to develop and mature.
So, where is the gap in the growth system of animation voice actors?
For example, when domestic voice actors are trained in schools, most of them are mainly film dubbing, while island countries, on the contrary, are mostly based on animation and games.
Movie dubbing needs to be close to real life, but animation dubbing needs to be exaggerated.
The two different emphases have created a gap in the strength of the two parties in animation dubbing.
All in all, that is to say, the overall backwardness of domestic animation dubbing is due to the immaturity of the animation industry. And if the dubbing of a specific domestic animation is bad, it is because there is no money, or they are keen to find some stars to dub as a gimmick.
You don't believe it?
Let's take a look at "Qin Shi Mingyue", a domestic 3D animation produced at a high cost, although the dubbing is not very good, but it is not bad.
The world's Huaxia is on par with the island country in terms of comics, because of this, Ye Yu has expectations for the animation dubbing in this world.
Hearing Ye Yu's question, Xiao Lori said without hesitation: "It's okay, it's worse than the island country." In terms of comics, our Huaxia and the island countries are evenly matched, but in terms of animation, they are inferior to them. ”
"Okay?" Ye Yu thought about it, but still felt that he had no specific concept, so he said: "Xin'er, you show me the animation that you think is the best dubbing." ”
"Okay, big brother." Little Lori agreed, and ran to her room to get a laptop.
clicked on, jumped and played an episode, and clicked on an episode of another animation, and jumped again and watched it for a while.
After watching three or four episodes like this, Ye Yu nodded slightly-it was much better than the domestic animation dubbing on the earth in his previous life, but he still felt that it was not enough.
After thinking about it, Ye Yu checked some information on the Internet and found that when those training schools generally train voice actors, movies: animation and games are about 6:4, while the island country is the same as in the previous life, mainly animation and games, accounting for 7-8 percent.
This is probably part of the reason for the gap in dubbing.
So, what about the anime industry as a whole?
Ye Yu checked some information again and found that the animation industry in Huaxia is not as mature as that of the island country, and it is inferior in animation painting, special effects, dubbing, production, and investment.
This should be the reason why the animation that Xin'er said is worse than that of the island country.
Ye Yu put down the computer and thought about it with his back against the sofa.
The comics are simple, after all, they are just some drawings.
The world's best-selling comics are equivalent to the average level of comics in the previous life, and only by themselves and little Lori, they can also make Huaxia comics rise and surpass the island country.
But animation is not that simple.
Anime involves so much more than manga.
And the so-called Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice, if the basic conditions of the entire industry are poor, even if Ye Yu has works, he will not be able to do well.
For example, in terms of dubbing, do you want to spend money on those master voiceovers?
But you can, but the cost is a bit high, because these masters are all dubbing movies, and the appearance fee is not low.
But if you hire a mediocre film voice actor, you won't be able to control the difference between film and animation.
The best way to do this is to train voice actors who specialize in anime dubbing.
Isn't Movie Now: Animation & Games 6:4?
That yourself...... Train them in the direction of movies: animation and games = 3:7, 2:8, or even 1:9!
In addition, there are special effects, painting, etc., and they also train specialists.
After thinking about it for a while, Ye Yu told Father Lin about this idea.
Father Lin is the vice minister of the Ministry of Culture, and his opinion is very informative.
After listening to Ye Yu's words, Father Lin said, "What do you mean...... Want to improve the status quo of domestic animation? ”
"Hmm." Ye Yu nodded and said, "Anime and anime, it's not enough for comics to be strong, and animation also needs to keep up." And, anime is more widespread and influential than manga. ”
This is also an important reason why Ye Yu wants to do this, the anime cake is big enough!
It's not about the benefits of animation and manga, these are just secondary, the important thing is anime peripherals!
Peripheral products account for 70% to 80% of the profits brought by the entire animation industry.
And even in the previous life when piracy was rampant, Doraemon and Kitty Cat could still sweep away billions of yuan from the Chinese market every year!
Not to mention the world?
"Do you want to start a school?" Father Lin asked.
"Start a school?" Ye Yu was a little surprised, and immediately shook his head and said, "No, I don't want to start a school." First, the approval is too cumbersome; second, it is too cumbersome to build; Third, it takes four years to graduate, and the results are too slow; Fourth, if you build a school, there are so many people in each class, I can't use that many at all. ”
Lin Shi'er was a little speechless and said, "I always feel that your biggest reason is that it is too troublesome." ”
Ye Yu smiled awkwardly.
Father Lin smiled and said, "What do you mean, Xiaoyu?" ”
"Recruit the best and most promising talents from the society with high salaries, and train them in animation dubbing. You don't need too many people, painting, special effects, dubbing, etc., all add up, hundreds of people are enough, take the elite route. Ye Yu said.
Although the salary is high, it is really not worth mentioning compared to the huge profits.
The better the animation, the more influential it will be, and the higher the profit in the end.
However, it is estimated that only oneself, who has countless classics, dares to cultivate talents in a single-minded direction. It would be a waste to switch to someone else and let those people learn only one skill, but there is no follow-up work to support it.
Father Lin nodded and said, "If it's just like this, as long as your company has enough funds, you can decide for yourself." So, you just came to ask my opinion? ”
"Well, Uncle Lin, you are well-informed. So I'm asking for your opinion. ”
"Huh...... I think it's still doable. However, I have a few suggestions: ......"
