Chapter 16: A Different Approach
Although Song Mu is not a person who likes to find trouble, this does not prevent her from liking to watch others eat deflated.
Especially when the person who was about to eat deflated was Jiao Pengxing, Song Mu's smile was particularly bright.
"Of course, what Director Jiao said is a big problem," she said with a smile, "It's just that in my opinion, it's not a problem......
Speaking of which, she deliberately sold a pass, and after looking around at the three leaders, her eyes fell on the factory director Mao Yongyi, "As long as we change the shooting method!" ”
"Say it happily! What the hell is the method?! Jiao Pengxing said angrily.
He was a little unhappy when he saw Song Mu selling Guanzi, and after selling Guanzi, he was still in a fog, which made him even more unhappy.
"Shoot ...... Fixed? Huang Peiqin didn't pay attention to Jiao Pengxing, and asked with some uncertainty.
When Mao Yongyi heard Huang Peiqin say this, he suddenly realized, "Well, this is a solution!" ”
In ordinary cartoons, paper and pen are used to draw the pictures one by one, and then shoot them frame by frame, and then play them continuously to become "animation".
Stop-motion animation uses dolls and sets to put the pictures one by one, shoot them once at a time, and then play them continuously to become "animation".
The advantages of stop-motion animation are obvious, which is to save money; But its shortcomings are also obvious, that is, it is like a shadow puppet play, which is so limited by the three dimensions that it is "not very like a cartoon".
"That's right, it's a freeze-frame!" Song Mu affirmed, "Use paper-cut instead of the animation texture produced by shadow puppetry, and then use freeze-frame techniques to erase the sense of reality." In this way, it is theoretically possible to not only complete a narrow 'cartoon', but also save money more than the animation made by the division of labor method! Of course ......"
After talking about the advantages of this approach, she stated the disadvantages, "The disadvantages of this are also obvious, because it is essentially stop-motion animation, its frame rate naturally cannot be compared with the animation made by the division of labor method......"
"It's not a problem!" Mao Yongyi waved his hand, "It's not broadcast in the cinema, but it's just on TV, this flaw is nothing at all!" ”
Song Mu suddenly realized that taking the previous standards to demand the current era, this is his own empiricism! You know, in this era, not to mention the terrible low resolution of the TV, many people are still using black and white TVs at home!
"This method can indeed reduce a lot of costs, and the budget of 60,000 yuan is enough," Huang Peiqin poured a basin of cold water at this time, "But I roughly calculated, the time is ...... It may be a little insufficient. ”
"Hmph, what's the use of having ideas? Haven't you solved the problem yet? Hearing Huang Peiqin say this, Jiao Pengxing, who was dismissed, immediately became interested again, "Even if your method is feasible and can reduce costs, don't you still have to do the setting of the ten characters in "Ten Brothers"?" Do you have to do the background too? You have to do all kinds of villain supporting roles, right? How long will it take?! ”
The more he talked, the more he felt that it made sense, and he couldn't help but laugh: "A little clever to think that you are great? If you can really solve this in a few words. Big. Hemp. Annoying, I'll do it for you! ”
Song Mu didn't say anything yet, but Mao Yongyi was a little displeased, he glanced at Jiao Pengxing, and then asked Huang Peiqin: "Is it feasible to reduce the setting of a few characters?" ”
Huang Peiqin pondered for a moment, and then shook his head: "With the current time, even if the direction is set in one day, without waiting for the complete script and letting the script and character design go together, and then leaving time for post-production shooting, I'm afraid I can only barely finish the character design of the ten protagonists......"
"In other words, can you complete ten complex characters?" Song Muxi smiled, "I think it's enough!" ”
"Humph!" Jiao Pengxing just sneered, he didn't bother to talk about this self-defeating junior.
Mao Yongyi has inexplicable trust in her: "Oh? Does Xiao Song have a way? Come, let's talk about it! ”
Song Mu didn't even think much about it, and said directly: "We want to adapt "Ten Brothers", not reproduce its entire story. So, I had a bold idea......"
Her bold idea is actually very simple, which is to copy the gourd baby of the previous life......
In fact, if there was no Song Mu, this classic would also appear, and the gourd baby back then was also made by Mao Yongyi.
It's just that now with Song Mu, she has completely said these thoughts, which has saved them a lot of detours and saved a lot of time and brain cells.
Song Mu roughly told the story about the gourd baby, even if it was only a rough idea, and he talked for about ten minutes. When she finished speaking, Mao Yongyi and Huang Peiqin were simply shocked.
Only Jiao Pengxing was still unconvinced, "Even if you change it to a single-line story and omit a lot of villain settings, don't the ten brothers want ten characters?!" ”
"Not really." Mao Yongyi has already figured out the key, "Although Xiao Song didn't say it, she streamlined the ten brothers into seven brothers, and arranged for them to be born one by one, probably because she had a mind to use an appearance, right?" ”
Song Mu couldn't help but be surprised by these words, sure enough, she was a senior who could make the original gourd baby out of thin air, I hadn't even said that she had already thought of it!
"The leader is right," she nodded and said, "as long as you take turns to give people heads...... Ahh Due to the fact that the multiple protagonists have become single protagonists to a certain extent, even the viewers who watch black and white TV sets will not be confused by the same appearance. ”
Huang Peiqin muttered: "In this way, you only need seven brothers who look the same, scorpion essence and snake spirit, grandfather and pangolin, and a few supporting roles for the little demon." More than a dozen characters are more than enough. ”
"Factory director, this method is feasible, and the task will definitely be completed!" Huang Peiqin's eyes suddenly lit up, she looked at Song Mu, and said excitedly: "Xiao Song, you are really the lucky star of our factory!" Such a difficult task has been solved for you! ”
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Song Mu scratched her head embarrassedly, she was still somewhat self-aware. She knew that she was just standing on the shoulders of giants, and the few people in the office, including Jiao Pengxing, were the giants who had been!
"I just praised you a few words and didn't dare to take it?" Huang Peiqin glanced at Jiao Pengxing exaggeratedly, "Director Jiao still wants to give you the position!" ”
Hearing Huang Peiqin's cynicism, Jiao Pengxing's face was as red as pig's liver, and he wanted to find something to refute it, but found that any words were so powerless at this moment.
After all, Song Mu really solved this completely in these three words. Big. Hemp. Annoying!
