Chapter 046. CG with hand drawing
This interview with Wu Yi spread throughout the circle for the first time, along with his declaration.
Most people saw this interview late at night and the next morning, when the trailer for Soul Eater: Zero and several other animations had already been released on Chengkong Video Network.
When people saw Xu Rui, who was so praised by martial arts in the interview, they naturally searched for the voice of the stars, and then learned through other news that Xu Rui was making a new animation.
Soon, the animated trailer for Soul Eater: Zero had more than 200,000 views.
Perhaps because of the extremely high evaluation of the martial arts director, people naturally have a lot of expectations for Xu Rui, so this slightly ordinary trailer is a little disappointing.
At noon, when Xu Rui was still accompanying Yi Qianqian in the comic exhibition to browse some indescribable little books involving male wrestling skills, several questions about "Soul Eater: Zero" had already appeared.
Underneath the answer with the most comments, titled "How to rate the Soul Eater: Zero trailer", several highly-rated comments appeared.
[Erlang]: The ordinary trailer, judging from the clips, looks like an ordinary royal battle, there is nothing outstanding in the painting, to be honest, I don't believe that this is the work of a director who can make "The Voice of the Stars", maybe we have too much expectations for Xu Rui, after all, he is just a student who has just graduated from college.
[Menmenmen]: Seeing the trailer, I checked the relevant information a little, and finally came to the conclusion like this: the mediocre third-rate original work + rookie newcomer editor + fledgling rookie director + a group of old men abandoned by the times production team = "Soul Eater: Zero", I watched the trailer is the most essential part of the whole film.
[The Past is Like Smoke]: The original comic book of "Soul Eater" sold less than 100,000 copies last year, even in "Monthly Youth Frontline", it is just an ordinary work, and it is inevitable that the magazine will not be able to invest in such a large production and investment, plus it is the exclusive broadcast of the Chengkong Video Network of New Frontier Media, and it is really unreasonable to have expectations for animation.
[Remy Remy]: xswl, what age is there still this old-fashioned animation, do you want to laugh at me to inherit my mortgage? I'll put my words here.,The sales of this animation can be two thousand.,I'll buy three sets of CDs to support it.,Change the avatar to the word soul eater.。
After the rendering of the big Vs before, many people already think that Xu Rui is probably a newcomer with better luck, and the animation trailer of "Soul Eater: Zero" does not look like a popular animation, so they naturally listened to the big V's statement and thought that Xu Rui's animation was most likely a spicy chicken animation.
The human psyche is so strange, if you don't have any expectations at first, or even if the first impression is a little bad, then the average level of work will be satisfying.
If you have high expectations from the beginning, even if you reach the passing mark, you will be considered inferior.
Xu Rui didn't know what to ask, he accompanied Yi Qianqian to visit the comic exhibition for a day, and when he got home, he was already exhausted, so he took a shower and lay down to rest.
Early the next morning, Xu Rui woke up Yi Qianqian, and after breakfast, the two took the subway to Phantom Electric Animation to start a new day's work.
According to the animation production cycle, Xu Rui should now be in the storyboard drawing stage of the fourth episode, and the storyboard of the first episode has been completed.
The design draft will determine the rough character storyboard, including the exact position of the character, the content of the background, the expression of the character, how the movements are connected, the way the camera moves, etc., with the design draft, the original artist can draw the original painting according to the design draft.
In the first episode, there was already a part of the discussion when the trailer was made, so there were no major changes to the performance, painting, etc., except for a slight disagreement.
"Although the scene of this motorcycle was drawn in CG to save time, wouldn't it be better to use hand-drawn drawings when it was actually broadcast?"
Yasuhara is the painting supervisor and the first concept painting of the first episode, and he went to Kyohei's love craft after leaving the old phantom electricity, and has been fighting on the front line for several years as a concept artist.
He was referring to the scene in the first episode, where the heroine (fake) drove a motorcycle to fight evil spirits, which was made using CG animation in the trailer, and only needed to design a model of the motorcycle to quickly complete the scene, and if it was changed to a hand-drawn one, it would require a lot of reference drawings and a lot of work.
"Since it's all made with CG, otherwise just use it, and it can also reduce Brother Anyuan's workload."
Deng Shixin, who is in charge of 3D, said that he completed the modeling of the motorcycle, Deng Shixin has been interested in cars and warships and planes since he was a child, and his home is full of various models, so it can be said that he is extremely proficient in one piece.
"It doesn't matter how much work I have, but can the current CG technology really achieve that effect, the trailer screen honestly feels a little less impactful, and the model produced by CG is still too stiff."
Yasuhara insisted.
"But in this case, the production cycle of the first episode is a little tight......"
Deng Shixin glanced at Xu Rui, after all, he is the director and performer, and it is Xu Rui who has the final say in the end.
"Well, let's see how the CG performance will look this afternoon and then make a decision, do you think it's okay?"
Xu Rui did not make a decision directly, but made a suggestion.
"Okay, I'll go back and find that part right away."
Deng Shixin nodded and made a note in his notebook.
Yasuhara didn't say anything, only flipped the page of the meeting minutes.
There was no disagreement in the other parts, and the production policy for the first episode was determined, and the time was also noon.
After the meeting ended, Yasuhara stood up, brought his own lunch, and after the pantry was warmed up, he returned to his place to eat slowly.
Deng Shixin ordered takeout, the yellow stewed chicken is cheap and affordable, but he will get tired of eating too much, he finished eating three times and dividing five by two, and went back to confirm the CG to be displayed in the afternoon.
Xu Rui helped Yi Qianqian and himself warm up the meal and put it in the pantry.
Before Yi Qianqian came over, Xu Rui saw Li Ruoxuan holding a lunch box in his hand and touching it.
She audited the processing meeting in the morning, and Xu Rui thought she would go back to the editorial office, but she didn't expect to stay.
"Hehe, I saw that you bring your own food every day, so I tried to make it yourself."
She sat down on Xu Rui's left hand side and opened her pink lid, a lunch box with a cute puppy pattern.
Plain rice, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, hash browns that are not too neatly shaped, and boiled broccoli.
"Do you want to taste it?"
Li Ruoxuan pushed the lunch box in front of Xu Rui and asked.
"Then you're welcome."
Xu Rui picked up the chopsticks, took a little tomato scrambled eggs and put them in his mouth.
The next moment, his face turned pale, and he looked at Li Ruoxuan in disbelief.
Xu Rui couldn't imagine why Li Ruoxuan, who looked very cute, had such an indescribable taste in her hand, which looked quite normal.
It was as if the whispers of the old gods had appeared in his ears, muttering unknown words.
After a long time, Xu Rui suppressed the instinctive urge to vomit and swallowed the tomato scrambled eggs into his stomach, glanced at Li Ruoxuan, who was looking at him with anticipation, and said hesitantly.
"Well, it's the taste of scrambled eggs with tomatoes."
