Chapter 336: Two Animations
People need energy to grow, and when they encounter such a thing, Miller also eats a trench and grows wise.
Taking advantage of Zhang Ningzhen's dismissal, she held a meeting with the entire project team afterwards, emphasizing the issue of discipline and efficiency.
In addition to the verbal emphasis, the relevant rules have also been formulated.
Mi Le still doesn't plan to pay close attention to work attendance, but in terms of work efficiency, he can't be laissez-faire.
In the past, Zhang Ningzhen, a person who can be regarded as an old employee of the company, was fired vigorously and resolutely, and then Mi Le made up his mind to rectify the team atmosphere. This time, the project team of the third season of "Amber" has a more fundamental reversal.
The atmosphere of the entire project team was positive, and the entire work efficiency went up again at once, and until the third season of "Amber" was completed, there was no more fucking in between.
After completely taking charge of an independent production of a project, and encountering some turmoil in the middle, Miller's current state of mind has changed a lot from the beginning.
She is still the same calm and indisputable character, and she is still very peaceful and kind to her subordinates, but she no longer makes the mistakes she once made, and she also has her own experience on how to manage a team.
Since Fan Zhe decided to let her be the leader of this 'animation development department', she decided to do a good job.
After the establishment of the "Animation Development Department", it immediately took on two burdens.
One is an animation project for "Hell Apartment" and the other is an animation for "Demon Hunting Notes".
The animation "Hell Apartment" is intended to be a feature-length film.
Based on the current results of the discussion between Fan Zhe and Ye Jiayi, this animation should be broadcast in a completely free way for paid members to watch. It means that as long as the user becomes a VIP annual member, he can directly watch the full collection of this work for free. Ordinary users can only watch the first ten episodes, and the rest of the content needs to be bought at the price of one yuan per episode - this is certainly not cost-effective for members. After all, to buy a membership, the annual fee without discount is only twenty yuan.
The reason for this is because Sun Junyi's 'Dimension Platform Operation Department' put forward a demand, saying that there is now a bit less exclusive content for members on the platform, and Dimension members have nothing else to watch except for watching the two paid dramas "Martial Arts Grandmaster" and "Emperor Ruzi", as well as some bought movies.
If you can have a long-term update of the work, and you don't need to spend extra money on members, it will significantly increase the stickiness of paying users.
It is precisely because of this consideration that Fan Zhe and Ye Jiayi considered doing the animation project of "Hell Apartment".
The IP of "Hell Apartment" has long fallen into the hands of Wedo Entertainment, and it started early, that is, to develop a movie.
The first part of the movie "Hell Apartment", with a box office of 370 million, is certainly nothing in the increasingly booming film market in China. But if you count the cost of 20 million, there is no doubt that Wedo Entertainment is doing a good business.
The first film made money, and then the second one was made. It's about to be Qingming in April, and "Hell Apartment 2" will be released.
At present, the movies under this IP are only planned in a trilogy for the time being, so that the original work of "Hell Apartment" will be almost finished, and that will end there, Fan Zhe does not plan to expand the content beyond the original book at all, it is not interesting.
However, although the movie trilogy will finish "Hell's Apartment", it will only finish. "Hell Apartment" itself is divided into volumes, and in general, each volume will have obvious boundaries and be different stories. With just three films, it is impossible to tell all the stories in such a film of more than two million words.
In the content planning of the three films, it is done by absorbing the essence of the original book, and it is inevitable that most of the stories in the original book will be deleted.
Putting down this IP like this, Fan Zhe felt a bit wasteful and unwilling. In addition, it happened to meet the needs of Sun Junyi's operation department, so he simply took out "Hell Apartment" and prepared to make a long-term updated animation.
In this case, the animated version of "Hell Apartment" will not be done in a season.
According to the content, the entire animation will be planned out for one hundred and three episodes, each episode will be controlled at about twenty minutes, and one episode will be updated every Monday and Tuesday every week, and it will take about a year to complete all the one hundred and three episodes.
Dimension Entertainment is actually very fast in making animation, but if you want to do it according to the quality of "Amber Sword", it is still a little too difficult to make two episodes a week. It's not that it can't be done, but it will involve a lot of manpower, and the cost will obviously increase.
According to the positioning of the work, this is not cost-effective.
Therefore, the plan of the animated version of "Hell Apartment" is to carry out long-term updates with lower cost, fewer manpower, and faster production speed to fill the lack of member-only content on the "Dimension Platform".
Within the 'Dimension System', the calculation level of the animated version of "Hell Apartment" has also been adjusted very low. Moreover, the 'dimensional system' has to deal with a lot of work, in fact, it is mainly to do the picture transition between different scenes and different actions according to the text description and the original picture setting. After the calculus level is adjusted to a very low level, it is clear that "Hell's Apartment" will not be as refined as "Amber".
But it will not be worse than the mainstream animation works on the current market.
You must know that the investment in the animated version of "Hell Apartment" in this one hundred and three episodes is also known as hundreds of millions.
In addition to "Hell Apartment", for Miller's "Animation Development Department", a more important work is "Demon Hunting Notes".
"Demon Hunting Notes", this is a well-known masterpiece on the Internet, with a wasteland theme, and it is also one of the pinnacles of Yanyu Jiangnan, the key is that the evaluation is not as particularly polarized as "Blasphemy".
Regarding this work, Miller has seen several conceptual design drawings given by Fan Zhe, which are obviously drawn by Fan Zhe himself.
One of them is a concept design for a scene. It was an endless wilderness, and the ruins of the city were buried underneath, and the wreckage of the original high-rise buildings remained. In the distance, on the high mountains, the wind and snow drifted. A team of ragged survivors trudging through the wilderness.
The whole picture, with its cold and oppressive tones, conveys a sense of despair.
This is the overall style of the work: depressing, desperate.
