Chapter Ninety-Seven: Cost

A slap in the face is a slap in the face, but this time Sun Peng was beaten willingly.

The young lady looked at Wen Wen quietly, who could see that what was made was so violent? There are both traditional action scenes and innovative lens use, especially an animation of high school students fighting in groups, although it is only three minutes, but it vividly reflects the enthusiasm and madness of young people - although the plot is too middle in Sun Peng's opinion, but it is undeniable that people can make group fights so beautiful, isn't it?

"Maybe...... Can you do it beautifully this time? ”

After reading several of Hou Qingqing's works, Sun Peng blinked and thought secretly.

When Sun Peng gradually accepted Hou Qingqing, the chubby senior sister was also carefully looking at his work, the storyboard script of the animated short film. As a "professional" animation graduate, don't look at Sun Peng's academic achievements, but the things written and drawn are at least passable in terms of format, and the most important thing is that after a little closer look, Hou Qingqing immediately saw a different style......

"I always feel ...... It's extremely handsome! “

After reading the book drawn by Sun Peng, Hou Qingqing's heart suddenly pounded.

Since Chen Sihai mentioned Sun Peng's matter to him that day, in the spirit of curiosity about the little junior brother, Hou Qingqing specially went to the Shuxiang Chinese Network to read the book The Legend of the Condor Heroes. Of course, she immediately fell into the magnificent martial arts world created by Jin Dada, especially the magic kung fu such as the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending, the Dog Stick Method, the Luoying Shenjian Palm, the One Yang Finger, and the Toad Gong, which made her, an animator who is interested in the kung fu of the hard bridge and the hard horse, deeply fascinated.

Therefore, after reading half of it, Hou Qingqing made up his mind to take over this single job.

It's just different from Chen Sihai, the results of Sun Peng's novels that people care about, and the potential for adapting the whole book into animation in the future. After all, Shuxiang Chinese Network can be said to have been booming in recent years, and many popular books have been adapted into animation; Hou Qingqing's words are really interested in Sun Peng's novels - she likes this kind of novelty too much.

After reading the book written by Sun Peng today, this feeling became stronger and stronger.

"Little junior brother, your book is very interesting!"

After fantasizing about all the shots in his mind, Hou Qingqing bit his lip and said with some excitement.

Although Sun Peng's book is a little rough, the content is extremely detailed, and it can even be said that every shot of the entire short film, including how each shot should be made and converted, is drawn, Hou Qingqing is naturally clear at a glance after getting it! As a professional animation director, Hou Qingqing even came up with several ideas in just ten minutes, and she couldn't wait to start experimenting.

"Hehe, it's okay to make a living."

As the owner of the Dao who took out real money and silver, Sun Peng didn't mean to be modest at all, so he nodded directly and said: "To put it simply, this is a martial arts world scene in my imagination, and it is also what I want!" “

He intends to express his attitude directly, and the province will be ridiculed in the back.

Sun Peng knew that people like Hou Qingqing, no matter how famous they were, often had a little bit of their own arrogance, and it was very likely that they would mix some private goods with such a detailed book. And for Sun Peng, this kind of thing is intolerable to him, at least this short film is definitely not good!

So after a slight pause, Sun Peng continued: "I want to make a short film of about five minutes, this book is designed in strict accordance with my ideas, it can be said that every shot has its usefulness...... Senior sister, it shouldn't be difficult to make, right? “

”…… No problem. “

After a moment of silence, Hou Qingqing barely suppressed the disappointment in his heart and nodded expressionlessly.

It is clear that this is a smart man.

I understood other people's thoughts from Sun Peng's words, and it was naturally a little unhappy for Hou Qingqing, so after a moment of silence, he also spoke: "But if you have to do it strictly according to this book, although the action scenes are not complicated, the scene requirements are relatively high...... It's a bit of a no-brainer! I thought that seven or eight people could make it, but now if you look at it, you have to at least double the number of people! “

"Tsk, it's about money."

Grinning slightly, Sun Peng knew that it was time to talk about business next.

Because the time is only a little more than a month, Sun Peng will certainly not design too complex content, especially those extremely gorgeous action scenes on the earth. Let's not talk about whether time and money allow or not, Sun Peng is very skeptical that the animators in this world can make those things, after all, whether it is TV or movies, they have never appeared, and they can't find a reference!

But even so, a five-minute video is a lot of money!

sacrificed gorgeous action scenes, and the total length was only five minutes, if the picture was shoddy, Sun Peng felt that he was too insincere. So after thinking about it, he finally gritted his teeth and decided to make a good thing out - anyway, with this month's manuscript fee and the royalties of the Condor Shooting, he thought it would be enough.

After thinking about his family background again, Sun Peng nodded confidently and said, "Senior sister, you're welcome, how much it will cost you can directly estimate a number!" “

"That's right...... Wait a minute! “

Glancing at Sun Peng with some surprise, Hou Qingqing said lightly.

Compared to the production costs of movies and TV series, animation seems to be much simpler, mainly depending on the cost of labor. Especially Sun Peng's book is so detailed, even the scenes and characters have been done - in order to save time and cost as much as possible, Sun Peng invited the big cow Xia Weiqing to come out, and the things drawn naturally have nothing to say.

But it is still not easy for Hou Qingqing to estimate the cost.

Sun Peng was not in a hurry, and quietly sat and watched Hou Qingqing write and draw on a piece of paper, calculating the cost of making animation. There is also this advantage of finding your own alumni, that is, the other party knows that you are barely half an expert, and at least you will not come nonsense when settling accounts. It's just that Hou Qingqing doesn't know, Sun Peng has never really done commercial animation, and he is completely blind to this thing!

"By the way, what are you going to do with the soundtrack and voiceover?"

After calculating for a while, Hou Qingqing suddenly raised his head and asked, "Do you plan to find someone to do it yourself, or let us find someone to do it?" To be honest, if you want to do a good job in this animation, you have to do a good soundtrack, otherwise it will be ruined! ”

"This is the case...... I'm ready! ”

With a slight raising of his eyebrows, Sun Peng immediately nodded and said, "But it's just that the score has been written, if you do it specifically...... Senior sister, can you get it all together? ”

Of course, he knew the importance of the soundtrack, and he had already picked out the right one from memory, picked up the score, and waited for someone to make it. Since others can also do it, Sun Peng is happy to save himself trouble.

"Oh? That's a big effort. ”

glanced at Sun Peng with some surprise, and Hou Qingqing nodded clearly.

She is now more and more curious about this little junior brother.

Hou Qingqing was very surprised when he watched the Condor Shooting, because he always felt that this kind of book should not be written by a young man like Sun Peng, and now people have not only designed such an interesting animated short film, but even the soundtrack has been done together, which makes Hou Qingqing have to wonder: Could it be that this kid has a deep background?

But of course Hou Qingqing is not good to ask about this kind of thing, her responsibility is just to do a good job of animation.

So after a short period of surprise, Hou Qingqing nodded and said, "Regarding the cost, I guess I have to calculate it carefully and tell you how about it at night?" But I have to remind you, although the film is not very long, but because the time you ask for is relatively tight, and the requirements are relatively high, the cost must not be low......"

Hearing Hou Qingqing say this, Sun Peng's heart suddenly had no bottom, and he hurriedly asked, "Uh...... So what do you roughly estimate how many? I have a bottom in my heart! ”

The production cost of animation with different requirements can be said to be very different.

It is very common for Americans on the earth to make cartoons with a million dollars a minute, but RB's cartoons are generally tens of thousands of yuan, and the production cost of domestic animation is not easy to say, sometimes the cheap ones will make you can't believe it, and of course the quality will be so bad that you doubt your life......

This world is different from the earth, at least the labor cost is definitely much higher.

Under Sun Peng's anxious gaze, Hou Qingqing pondered for a moment and then spoke: "If you ask for work in mid-June and want to ensure the quality, it should be between 300,000 and 400,000 yuan......

"Click!"

If he wore glasses, Sun Peng felt that it should be broken at this time.

……

Now I know the difficulty of writing entertainment novels, this thing is really difficult for the layman. So you can just look at these things and laugh at them, and don't take them seriously.
