Chapter 92: The Instinct to Evolve

Originally, he thought it would be strange to draw cells and primitive single-celled organisms as the protagonists. After all, their structure is so simple that it would be difficult to make a particularly big change in terms of realism, and it would look rather monotonous.

However, the two-step change to enhance the color contrast and strengthen the cell structure makes the design of a single cell look a little cool.

This is completely different from the mushy cells you see in biology class.

He directly refined and pinned this post to the top.

……

This post was sent by the marketing commissioner under Wu Jingtong.

This was supposed to be the work of the marketing department that Wu Jingtong was in charge of, and among his own work, there was a lot of content to develop the market from the perspective of public opinion.

He used to be a bare-bones commander, and no one under him didn't talk about it, and he still had a lot of work on his hands, and he had to deal with a lot of business work. I was so busy that my head was dizzy, and I never had time to take care of this.

reviewed the dereliction of duty in his work, but Wu Jingtong now does not need to deal with business work across departments, and his subordinates have recruited two more market specialists, so naturally he will not let go of these publicity opportunities.

He pays attention not only to Tieba, but also to the official public account of Wedo Entertainment, as well as several public accounts made in private, which are already in operation. Propaganda positions such as Weibo, Zhihu, and Douban, he did not let go.

For the time being, he has not achieved any particularly good results, but his goal is to be able to make one or two big V accounts in a few days, and by the way, he can make several V letter public accounts operated by his own family be able to produce 100,000 plus articles.

In this way, 'Wedo Entertainment' can be regarded as having its own propaganda position.

……

The success of the successive animation projects has not only allowed 'Dimension Entertainment' to gain a lot of fans in front of the public, but also made a name for themselves in the industry.

In the domestic animation market, it is not easy to have stable output.

For example, "Full Time", which is obviously larger than the investment scale in the first season, Lewen Group is ready to lose money, and it turns out to make a small profit; "Task Force" made a lot of money in the first season, and the results in the second season were also good.

However, when it comes to the second season of "Task Force", although the results are already good and have reached expectations, Penguin Video and Station B, which bought the copyright of the second season, can make a small profit.

But if you want to make as much money as last season, it's impossible. I'm afraid they've just crossed the profit line, and they're not making much.

This news will not bring any benefit to the third season of "Task Force". The negotiations for the third season have ended, and even the production has come to an end, with Penguin Video and Bilibili spending 16 million to buy the copyright of the third season.

At this price, they will lose money if they are not good.

However, buying content copyrights can't make back the cost, which is too normal in the current domestic market. As long as it can firmly attract user traffic, it is not a real loss.

However, this also determines the ceiling of the "Task Force". In the future, the fourth season of production has not yet begun, and the price may not be able to rise.

Fan Zhe understands this, but it doesn't matter. He is already very satisfied with being able to exchange tens of millions of dollars for each season of production through "Task Force".

The production of the third season is at the end of the season, and it is about to be completed, and it has already been sold.

According to the discussion between 'Dimension Entertainment' and Penguin and Station B, the third season will not be broadcast soon, and it will probably be cold for a few months, and it will be broadcast again at the end of the year.

At the same time, the production of the fourth season of the project will also wait for a few months to start, and there is no rush to do it immediately.

Most of the developers have already been transferred to the "4.6 Billion Ensemble" project.

The first season has fifteen episodes planned, which are similar to the specifications of the project "Task Force". The first half of the story takes place in the primordial ocean, and the middle part involves the upheaval of the ocean, and a large number of sea creatures, including the protagonist Lynn, will come to land and live on land.

The concept design of a large number of single-celled and multicellular organisms involved in the primordial ocean has been completed and subordinated to the 'dimensional' system, and the modeling calculus has begun.

At present, the team's work is focused on the original design of primitive marine and terrestrial creatures.

There are actually a lot of reference elements here, all kinds of simulations based on fossils and stuff, but those simulations can't be used directly.

Not good enough.

What's more, it's not necessarily scientific.

The study of paleontology is a step-by-step process. Human understanding of various creatures that have been extinct for an unknown number of years is very limited. All research is likely to be overturned in a few years, and even at present, there will be different doctrines, schools of thought, and different opinions on this.

For example, dinosaurs were once thought to be covered with scales, but later studies found that many dinosaur species were covered with more feathers. By far the most direct descendants of dinosaurs, probably birds.

Put it to Fan Zhe, when making an animation work like "4.6 Billion Duo", it is necessary to maintain scientificity. But for the sake of visual effect, a lot of exaggeration in modeling and design is necessary.

For example, what did the ancient Phi Phi shrimp look like? There is a certain scientific basis for this thing to refer to, but the scope left for designers is still very large.

The current art team of 'Wedo Entertainment' is very strong, the number of people is not particularly large, but there are many masters. Fan Zhe himself is an artist, and he is very handy at leading such a team.

But in the same way, a feature-length animation is not just about getting the design right, the story is the most important thing.

Fortunately, with the original book as the foundation, adapting the script is always more reliable than a completely original story.

The creation of the script is still handled by Yuan Zhenshan, especially the lines must be written well.

This line is not for the characters in the film. Fan Zhe's film is not to be made into that kind of anthropomorphic animation, it is difficult to imagine a cell opening its mouth to speak.

The lines that are written are all left to the narrator.

When it comes to animation, the story is important. However, the story of "The Evolution of the 4.6 Billion Repertoire" is very weak.

The main story of the entire work, especially the beginning, is about Lynn's evolutionary history and the creatures that have appeared in the course of her evolution. Different creatures are fighting the most primitive and cruel in order to survive and evolve.

But the fact that the story is weak does not mean that such a work is unattractive.

Primitive evolution, from low-level creatures to high-level creatures, brutal fighting...... These are the instincts that are imprinted in the deepest part of the genes of all living things.

This kind of evolution, instinct, is itself a 'sight'.
