Chapter 10 New Projects
Fan Zhe was on the phone, and it was obvious that Gao Yixiang was not in a good mood over there, but he didn't ask anything more.
Between him and Gao Yixiang, there was only a cooperative relationship. The two didn't know each other before this, and Fan Zhe was not the kind of person who liked to meddle in things.
People are in a bad mood, as long as it's not because of themselves, so why bother?
It is more important to care more about your own affairs. For example, he is now looking forward to the 60% payment that Gao Yixiang said can be settled in advance.
According to his agreement with 'Giant God Games', the overall price of this project is 550,000 yuan.
At this price, if thrown to the average level of the market, it is just a short film with five-cent special effects.
The animation of top-level visual effects, not to mention Pixar's in the United States, not to mention Square Enix's Final Fantasy movie, not to mention the opening animation level like Yamaguchiyama, even if the grade is lowered by one notch, the production cost per second is calculated in millions of dollars, just post-rendering, it is an expensive and extremely time-consuming work.
According to the initial budget of 450,000 yuan at the beginning of the 'Giant God Game', if you want to make a two-minute animation, the final effect will be very average and average.
Although, Fan Zhe's set of this set will definitely not reach the level that the above-mentioned top companies in the industry can do with the greatest investment.
It's not that the 'dimensions' can't do it, it's that the time is too short and the manpower is too small.
But despite this, the overall level of appearance, it must be very passable, and it is not an exaggeration to boast of a movie level, anyway, it is definitely much better than what 'Titan' expected at the beginning.
Put it outside, the opening animation of these two minutes, the market price has to be multiplied several times.
It's not the first time Fan Zhe has tested the waters in this industry, and if he is very short of money, he will definitely not get so cheap.
Fortunately, in the end, Lu Yuxiang, as a qualified middleman, still played his role. When he was talking to the 'Giant God Game', he was quite a lion's mouth, and in short, he set the final offer at 550,000, which was a lot more than the budget of the Giant God at the beginning.
Anyway, now that the work is done, there's no point in dwelling on these things anymore. Sixty percent of the money settled in advance is more than 300,000 yuan. Getting this money will inevitably be able to solve some of Fan Zhe's current urgent needs.
For example, paying off debts; For example, hurry up and get a better machine. The kind of millions of servers can't afford to buy, and it's better to get a mobile workstation at the least, Fan Zhe is fed up with his personal laptop.
Of course, it's too early to think about this, and when the money is in hand, it's better to study how to spend it.
What's more, he still has to settle the cost of the render farm and Miller's salary first, and it is still unknown how much money will be left over into his own pocket at that time.
Putting away these thoughts, Fan Zhe's attention returned to the web page he was visiting.
Previously, after finishing the opening animation of "Assassination Squad" and delivering the rendering, he was idle.
People can't be idle, especially when they are still in debt.
The animation has been delivered to the render farm, and the rest is largely none of his business. And now, he has to take a slightly longer-term view, at least start thinking about his next job.
Previously, he had a phone call with Lu Yuxiang, in addition to determining the intermediary commission for the beginning animation of the 'Giant God Game', and settling it after the payment for the entire project was called, he also asked Lu Yuxiang if there was any other similar work.
It's a pity that the answer given by Lu Yuxiang is no. Lao Lu is not engaged in this area full-time, although he has this ambition, but now the network has not been developed, and the outsourcing project of 'Giant God Game' is also at the right time.
However, he also promised that if there is a relevant project in hand, he will definitely contact Fan Zhe as soon as possible.
Lao Lu's road is temporarily impassable, and Fan Zhe can only think of other ways.
So, while wandering around the Internet, he saw the "Full-Time Master" animation special.
Fan Zhe has always been fascinated by novels, movies, and anime. Especially after work, the only entertainment after busy work is that.
Once, he liked the novel "Full-time Master" very much, so much so that when the animated version came out later, he did chase after it.
I have to say that according to the level of animation production in China, the production level of the first season of "Full-time Master" is still very good, and it has indeed been hot for a while. But in his opinion, this is not enough, at least the animation is not enough to show his fantasy of the world of "Full Time Master".
In April and May, a special chapter of "Full-time Master" came out. At that time, Fan Zhe didn't pay much attention to it, so much so that he only saw it when he casually wandered around the Internet today.
clicked on it and glanced at it twice, Fan Zhe frowned - this painting style is quite similar to the first season, but many details and many design things are obviously different.
A vague thought arose in his heart, and he searched for news about "Full-Time Master", and found that his initial opinion was indeed correct: the copyright owner of "Full-time Master", that is, Lewen Group, changed the producer of "Full-time Master". This special episode is made by the new production company, and at the same time, the second season will also be handed over to the new company.
Then, Fan Zhe saw a tearing war between the production company and the copyright owner on Weibo and forums.
Those companies have their own public relations, and they will not easily tear their faces and end up in person. But the big discussion between fans, as well as the content revealed in the news, made Fan Zhe watch a good show at the same time, but also smelled an opportunity: it seems that now Lewen Group and the new producer have a very big conflict, and the two sides have a kind of talk that they can't get along and want to break up.
So, is there a chance that you can be the producer of this second season?
The second season of the animation of "Full-time Master", according to the news, is scheduled for next year, and it is now the beginning of June, and I don't know if the time will be in time.
Another problem is that although "Full Time Master" has some technical applications of 3D to 2D, in general, it is 2D animation.
Can 'Dimensions' be done in 2D?
It should be able to.
The function of 'dimension' has not yet been completely explored by Fan Zhe. The system is complicated, and there is no tutorial, and it took Fan Zhe a long time to study how to use this thing.
Earlier, when exploring the function of 'dimension', Fan Zhe had seen some functions related to 2D animation.
It seems that it should be time to rummage through this huge treasure trove again.
Moreover, Fan Zhe also needs to pick up paper and pen to record some of his thoughts. This is a way of thinking that he personally prefers, and at the same time, he can record it casually, so that it is easy to look back.
