Chapter 45: Housewives Can Animate Too

"As long as the money is enough, I can make the first ten episodes in a year at most!" Teacher Dai Tielang touched his beard and said.

"A year?" Jia Yapeng smiled wryly when he heard this, "Teacher Dai, I'm afraid this time is a little longer, you have to speed up!" ”

"Come ......on," Dai Tielang groaned, "Okay, the old man will take someone to work overtime for you, and you should be able to come out in half a year!" ”

"No, it's still too slow!" Jia Yapeng shook his head, and then said, "Three months, we only have three months, I have already contacted CCTV, and it will be able to be broadcast in three months!" ”

"Three months? Little guy, even if you cut the old man in half, it is impossible to complete 10 episodes of 20 minutes of animation in three months, this is impossible...... It's impossible! Teacher Dai shook his head like a rattle.

"...... like this" Jia Yapeng knew that what Mr. Dai said was not a lie, after all, there were only 5 episodes of Sheriff Black Cat, and it took nearly two years for the Modu Art Film Studio to complete, and 10 episodes of animation took half a year to complete, which is indeed Mr. Dai's limit.

"Xiao Jia, don't think that half a year is still a short time, you must know that there are a lot of details in each character of your animation, which is far from being comparable to the black cat sheriff, and the painting needs of every second are equivalent to more than four or five times that of the black cat sheriff."

"So in this half a year, you still have to match me with enough painters to achieve the time, when we were the black cat sheriff, there were only 5 painters, you have to match me with at least 20 painters this time!" Teacher Dai touched his forehead and said, "Actually, I don't know where to find 20 painters, and now the painters in the factory are basically gone, and the old man has to put aside his face and don't help you find talents!" ”

Dai Tielang's words were originally a complaint, but when it fell into Jia Yapeng's ears, it made Jia Yapeng's eyebrows move, and then smiled, "Teacher, 20 painters can save half a year's time, then I will match you with 40 painters, can you complete the task in three months?" ”

"Bang dang!" The teacup in Dai Tielang's hand fell directly on the coffee table, but fortunately, the water in the teacup had been drunk, otherwise it would be a mess.

"40 artists? Where do you find 40 artists to paint for the old man? Now there are only so many painters in the whole film! Teacher Dai exclaimed.

"I'll talk about this later, just say if 40 artists is enough!" Jia Yapeng said.

"If it's 40 skilled painters, that's probably barely enough! But if there are 50 skilled artists, that's enough! Dai Lao thought about it for a while.

"That's ......" Jia Yapeng stood up and circled around the living room a few times, "Dai Lao, what if you are not skilled, or even a painter who has no contact with animation at all?" ”

"Then even if you give me 100, I won't be able to do it in three months!" Old man Dai Tielang rolled his eyes and said, "I know what your kid is thinking, you want to get some cheap students to come over, right, impossible, even if you find me 100 students to come, these inexperienced students who can only draw according to the painting can't carry it." ”

"100 may not be enough, so what if I make you 200 students?" Jia Yapeng asked with a smile.

"Bang dang!" The cup in Mr. Dai's hand was not held again and was smashed.

——————————————

In the next few months, the workers of Yuzhang Daqian Food Factory rarely saw their factory director, and occasionally came back, which was also an appearance, explaining the things in the factory, and then arranging the issuance of a new issue of the Water Margin card, and left in a hurry.

Three months add up, not even three days in the factory.

So where did Jia Yapeng stay in these three months?

Of course, he stayed in the magic capital, in order to be able to drive out the animation in three months, Jia Yapeng basically ate and lived in the magic capital.

There is no way, Jia Yapeng can't find a capable character in the magic capital, and Dai Tielang is responsible for the entire animation production process, so all other things and tasks are picked up by Jia Yapeng alone.

After negotiating with Dai Tielang, the two of them divided their labor, and Mr. Dai was responsible for contacting his former friends and students, bringing them together to become the backbone of the new team.

At this time, the value of Mr. Dai is reflected, Huaxia in the 90s cannot be said to be a desert of animation, but all animation practitioners, together there are not even 4 figures, and the painters who can really paint, together I am afraid that there are not even three digits.

However, as soon as Mr. Dai's network spread, within a week, there were more than 40 professional painters, as well as more than 20 other people such as photography, production, post-production, etc., all of them were in place.

Of course, in addition to Mr. Dai's face, what is more important is Jia Yapeng's cash payment, not only is the monthly salary as high as 300 yuan, which is equivalent to three times their previous salary in the Modu Film Studio, but more importantly, as long as they sign a contract with Jia Yapeng and promise not to resign within three years, Jia Yapeng will immediately give them a signing fee of 500 yuan

Who can bear such a real amount of money, and when they saw the script and overall design of the animation, they didn't even have the last trace of reluctance in their hearts.

Once this "Legend of the Water Margin" can be produced, it will definitely be the longest and most well-made in the history of China, and the epic will be the only one in the animation industry, which is the glory of history!

So in less than a week, all the personnel were already in place, and the one who led them to start the work was naturally Mr. Dai Tielang, who was the chief director.

When Mr. Dai saw so many people, everyone was about to cry, you must know that when he was at the most beautiful time in the Modu Art Film Studio, there were not so many professional people under his command to listen to him!

Mr. Dai said that with so many professional manpower, it is definitely possible to make 10 episodes of animation in half a year, but I want three months...... No, after a week of digging, there are only two and a half months left.

And at this time, it was Jia Yapeng's turn to work hard.

Jia Yapeng asked Teacher Dai to lead the team to start working immediately, leading the team to do only the most important work that newcomers can't do, and as for the rest, all the rest will be left to the students to complete.

In the process of making an animation, the really technical content only accounts for about 30% of the entire animation, such as concept design, scene design, color design, storyboarding, scripting, etc., which can only be completed by professional animation practitioners.

Of the remaining 70%, 40% of the work can be done by students who need to have the ability to draw, but do not need professional animation production experience, for example, a professional artist determines a draft and line drawing of a storyboard, and the rest only needs to draw according to the line drawing and character design.

This can be completely left to the students to do it, after all, it's just copying.

And the remaining 30% of the content, that is what even a housewife can do.

This part of the content is very simple, that is, to color the sketch, this work only needs to follow the given template, and then apply the color evenly in the draft, there is no difficulty at all.

This is not to be a joke, you must know that one of the most famous animation production companies in Fuso, and also known for its well-made animation company, Kyoto Ani, which is also known as KyoAni, as some fans say, started with this.

When the company started, it was a couple who worked professionally in animation, recruited a large number of housewives in the community who had nothing to do, took jobs from animation companies, and then colored piles of animation manuscripts.

Because the efficiency and quality of the work completed by this group of housewives are quite high, they have been well received by the industry, and they have received a lot of coloring work, and the company has developed rapidly, and finally evolved step by step into the familiar Kyoto anime.

Now, Kyoto animation in China has also begun to take off.
