"Outsourcing CG short films?"

Lu Yuxiang listened to Fan Zhe's words on the other side of the phone, and his face became a little strange. He asked, "How did you change careers to do this?" ”

"Recently, I partnered with a few friends to do a special effects studio...... Not to mention this, do you have any suitable outsourcing work there? ”

"Nope." Lu Yuxiang denied it at first, but then added: "But I know that there is a big studio, which happens to have this demand, with a budget of about 400,000 yuan, if you want to get it, I can help you next." ”

"That's good."

"However......" Lu Yuxiang hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Their requirements are relatively high...... Boss Fan, it's not that I don't believe you, but I can't smash my own signboard, right? ”

Lu Yuxiang actually regretted telling Fan Zhe about it, he didn't think that Fan Zhe, or the studio he had newly built, had the ability to meet the requirements of the project.

The CG short film demand he was talking about was an indie game project that was being worked on by a relatively large studio in the industry. Although this studio is not a big factory, its past works have a good reputation and sales. They had made some money on their previous projects, and their new work was more ambitious, and they wanted to make a better CG animation at the beginning, but they lacked the energy to create such a short film directly, so they planned to outsource the work.

"I know your concerns." On the other side of the phone, Fan Zhe said, "In this way, I now have a small finished product in my hand to test the water, although the film is short, but you can look at our strength, I think it should be able to meet the other party's requirements." ”

"Okay, you send me an email, and I'll give you a reply after reading it."

After hanging up the phone, after waiting for a while, Lu Yuxiang saw Fan Zhe's email.

downloaded the short film, opened it, and the thirteen-second short film ended quickly, leaving only Lu Yuxiang with a shocked face.

After a while, he came to his senses, and couldn't wait to order the replay and watch it a second time; It's not fun, the third time, the fourth time......

The short video of only thirteen seconds, showing something, has already shocked Lu Yuxiang.

The more he looked at it, the more excited he became, he immediately picked up his mobile phone and dialed Fan Zhe back.

"Seen so fast? I thought you'd have to take it seriously. ”

"Evaluate what!" Lv Yuxiang said, "With samples of this level, what else is there to evaluate? You're pretty skilled. ”

"It's okay."

Can the things that come out of black technology work?

"Their demand is about a short film of one and a half to two minutes, which is basically a battle scene, with three protagonists who require very detailed requirements, and the original drawings of the characters are available, but you have to design and draw the concept of the short film by yourself, and the scene is required to be more popular, and the overall working hours are a little faster, and it needs to be completed within three months...... That's all the general demand, with a budget of 450,000 yuan, but I think there should be room for negotiation, can you see the price? ”

"Three fine characters, a short film of about two minutes...... Well...... Five, five hundred thousand? ”

"Half a million?"

"Could it be too much?"

"It's not...... To do this quality, about two minutes, only half a million? Dollars? ”

"RMB ......"

“……”

After being silent on the phone for a while, Lu Yuxiang adjusted his mentality and said seriously: "Are you sure?" ”

"The higher the price, of course, the better."

"The price is not a big problem, I will go and talk to them." Lu Yuxiang said, "But can you really guarantee that you can produce a two-minute short film of this quality within three months?" ”

"Three months is too rushed." Fan Zhe said, "I don't have enough manpower here, and the quality will definitely decline." ”

"I think even if it drops by two notches, it's enough to make a difference, and they still make it. Okay, then let's do it, I'll take your short film to talk to people, if you have this level seriously, it's not a big problem to take this job down. This time the list is bigger, we are old friends again, give you some discounts, draw five points, no opinion? ”

"Nope."

"Wait for my news."

Hanging up the phone, Lu Yuxiang's mood calmed down a lot. Playing with his phone, his mind flew away from the incident itself.

He Lao Lu has been an illustration agency for many years, and he has a good reputation in this circle, there are always many families looking for him, and he also has a lot of very good painter resources in his hands, and he can live a very nourishing life by being a broker.

However, people always have something else to look forward to, and he is also looking forward to a bigger and better future.

He had been trying to find a new path, but it was hard to find and hard to follow, and since he had the idea, he hadn't found much of a good opportunity until now.

Now, however, it seems like a good opportunity.

……

On the other side, Fan Zhe, after ending the call, rubbed his face.

He found that doing visual effects was more profitable than he imagined.

The premise is that he does it himself. Otherwise, throw it to a normal special effects company, 500,000 yuan? I'm afraid it's just enough for the electricity bill.

Of course, this is a joke and a bit of an exaggeration. However, there is such a thing as a full CG special effects short film, which is indeed a big money burner. For some blockbuster films, the cost of special effects is calculated by the second, and it takes hundreds of artists and technicians to work together for a long time to make the final result.

The annual salary of these people alone is astronomical, not to mention a large number of high-precision equipment and a large amount of time cost.

And in the hands of Fan Zhe, he was able to do it by himself by relying on the 'dimensional system'.

Of course, if he really did it alone, the time would be long.

Previously, the thirteen-second short film sent to Lu Yuxiang took him two months of production effort. It takes a lot of time to draw the original concept of light, not to mention the subsequent import of drawings and modeling, although the 'dimension' solves most of the problems, there are still a lot of places that need to be manually operated.

The two-minute opening animation, if you want to calculate the quality of the short film that Fan Zhe did before, Fan Zhe is afraid that he will have to do it for a year, and people will definitely not be able to wait for him for so long.

But this list, Fan Zhe must be next. The temptation to settle most of his debt problems in one breath is quite huge.

As for the existing problems, there are two solutions in front of him:

One is to find another person to work with; The second is to reduce the quality of finished products.

The original budget was 450,000 yuan, and they definitely didn't expect to make a super-first-class CG animation directly. So in terms of quality, Fan Zhe's room for maneuver is quite huge, just like Lu Yuxiang said, even if you can't do the quality of the sample video, it's no problem to lower it by two grades.

As for manpower...... He thought of someone.
