Chapter 234: Crazy Animation
In the field of Internet entrepreneurship and venture capital in China, there is a problem that is widely circulating
"If this field you are doing really develops, what will happen to the Antarctic organism that has to mix everything with one hand when the time comes?"
This is a problem that the majority of entrepreneurs who attract investment hate.
No way, according to the Matthew effect of the strong and the strong, that kind of super-large enterprise is already difficult to deal with as long as it does not make mistakes.
What's more, the other party still has an absolute platform advantage, and it can also pull down its face at critical moments.
And their technical and commercial level is indeed not low.
However, in order to attract investment, everyone can't just throw out the three-word mantra
It's awesome,
No way
Wait for death!
When these words were said, VCs would definitely wave goodbye.
In order to eat with their mouths, the majority of entrepreneurs have no choice but to think nonsense and talk nonsense.
Not to mention, I really summed up a useful trick
That's to be fast, to be slow!
As long as the market is deeply integrated with itself before the other party intervenes, so that the other party cannot directly use the capital and volume advantages to forcibly expel it, then it will be easy to say later.
Whether it is to keep half of the country, or directly consider letting the other party buy and liquidate, it is a good choice.
In fact, this trick is also the only way to deal with all the powerful capital forces.
To put it simply, it's about finding a first-mover advantage.
After all, capital is profit-oriented.
As long as you have a first-mover advantage and make the other party feel that it is better to cooperate with you at the cost of expelling you directly, then you have succeeded.
That's what Charlotte is currently considering.
Therefore, he hopes to be able to plug in the film and television of the "Harry Potter" series before Warner and other capital predators notice.
As long as he inserts this leg beautifully, the capital that pours in behind him will not start from scratch, and he will have the capital to negotiate.
However, as mentioned before, the cost of adapting the movie is too great.
Even a copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is beyond Charlotte's current hand.
So, he set his sights on the animated version
Although there are many fans among adults, in the end, the Harry Potter series is still children's literature.
Especially the first "Philosopher's Stone", which is properly childlike.
In this case, it is a good idea to adapt it into a TV anime.
As long as it is not made into a delicate animated movie, the cost of general TV animation is much lower than that of a movie or even an ordinary TV series.
After all, there aren't too many actor problems in this.
What's more, Charlotte also has an animated artifact in her hands
The human skin book from the evil gods.
Increasingly, Charlotte felt that it was a bit too wasteful to use it as a tool for her own deduction of the rhythm and rationality of the script.
After winning the Saturn Award last time, he had the idea of refining and transforming the human skin book again.
It's like the nightmare he turned into a unicorn, a tool to communicate the dreams between him and Charlleze.
He intends to refine the human skin book into a special image processor
A tool that can mix the images imagined by Charlotte, the scenes and characters drawn by the artists, and the special effects created by the technicians, and automatically output them according to the story script.
"If you really have this kind of tool, you can produce animated movies at a very low cost? Can you run Disney out of business?"
After listening to Charlotte's idea of the human skin book, Charlize's first reaction was this, and Alexis on the side also nodded in agreement.
"How can it be that simple!"
Charlotte shook her head,
"According to my estimates, although the animation output in this way is much better than the kind before the human skin book, it is at most up to the picture quality level of TV animation. ”
"So you can't see it on the big screen!?"
Charlize was a little disappointed, but then became excited again,
"Even if it's a TV animation, it's good! One TV animation a day, you don't have to be a director soon, you can change to the king of animation!"
"One Animation a Day!?The King of Anime!?"
Charlotte always felt that this setting was inexplicably familiar. He shook his head and said with a wry smile,
"How can it be so powerful? Even if the refining of the human skin book is successful, there is still a lot of work that needs to be done to produce a TV animation. ”
As he spoke, he folded his hands and counted,
"First of all, we need to have a basic story, which can't be done overnight. ”
"Secondly, we had to complete the design of all the characters in the story, and if I was purely imagining the characters, the characters would not be good-looking. ”
"Then, we had to design a complete scene, but the human book itself could only evolve the story, not export the details of the scene. ”
"And only when all of the above is completed, can the spell evolution be carried out by relying on the human skin book. Otherwise, the picture that comes out is probably no different from the simple animation I used to demonstrate the script of "Guillotine Valley" before. ”
"What's more, to output this kind of animation, it takes mana. I guess there's a CD in the skin book itself, no, it's the cast interval. ”
"Actually, I originally wanted to rely more on the improved human skin book, combining the spell rendering technology of the Ghost Party studio with real computer rendering technology and scene drawing technology. ”
Charlotte finally said what she was going to do,
"In this way, Ghost Party Studios is a real film special effects studio. ”
"Well, since you say so. ”
It took a long time for Charlize to understand what Charlotte meant,
"However, in this case, your Ghost Party studio will have to recruit real computer special effects personnel, right?"
"yes!"
As she spoke, Charlotte pointed to Alexis, who was sitting on the side and watching the lively for a long time,
"Isn't this our technical director?"
"Me!?"
Alexis pointed to her nose a little confused, but Charlotte nodded,
"That's right, it's you! Have you forgotten the resurrected identity I prepared for you? Ms. Alexis Rachel Haydn, a female programmer at a company in Silicon Valley?"
“......”
After recalling for a long time, Alexis remembered that Charlotte had indeed set up this "resurrected" character for herself, but
"Before I became a ghost, I was just a young actor who didn't know how to use computers!!"
"Don't worry about that!"
Charlotte had a "I'll do it for you" expression,
"You just have to do what I say!"
“...... All right. ”
Although he didn't know what the other party was going to do, Alexis knew that since Charlotte dared to say so, he must have his own way, but
Hopefully his approach won't be too strange!
Alexis prayed in her heart.
On the other hand, Charlize suddenly realized that they seemed to be off topic
"Aside from the technology and spells, why do you think it's a good choice to animate Joanna Rowling's story, just because it's low?"
"Of course not. ”
Charlotte shook her head,
"Essentially, as long as the script is determined, no matter what kind of animation it is, according to my method of borrowing human skins, the cost will not be too high. ”
"I would have chosen Rowling's work that only had an opening, and more importantly, because it has a grand magical worldview, which is not only suitable for long-form animation, but also suitable for adaptation into a live-action film in the future. ”
"If it can really be scaled up. ”
Charlize reminded him.
"Of course. ”
Charlotte nodded. He couldn't tell Charlize what was going to happen in the future, so he could only continue,
"The current assumption is that Rowling's book can become popular under this premise, and the low-cost TV animation adaptation can be completed first, which can not only grab a wave of profits first, but also further promote the work, and at the same time"
Charlotte paused,
"To a certain extent, we can control the interests of peripheral products. ”
