Chapter Eighty-Nine: Promotional Video

Wu Yongjian didn't expect Zhou Heng to leave, so he tried two more sentences, and seeing that he was unmoved, he finally had to say goodbye and leave with his head shaken. And Gu Xiao took Zhou Heng to go through the termination procedures, and Zhou Heng handed in the translated seventh volume smoothly.

"Anyway, it's useless for me to put it here, so I'll give you these. You don't need to calculate the manuscript fee, so delete it if you don't need it. ”

"That's a lot, when did you translate this?" Gu Xiao looked at the dense manuscript and sighed.

"I translated it some time ago......" Zhou Heng then replied, and then asked Gu Xiao: "But what's going on today?" Suddenly the translation changed. ”

"You didn't watch the news?" Gu Xiaoyi asked rhetorically, ""Herbert's Gate" is going to be filmed. ”

"Making a movie?"

"Yes, although this book is not read by many people in China, it is selling very well in France, and just a few days ago, the publisher of this book said in an interview that it is going to make a movie."

"That's it......" Zhou Heng nodded, "What does that have to do with changing the translation?" ”

"Isn't that easy? When the movie comes out, this novel will definitely sell well, and someone will take a fancy to this opportunity. Gu Xiao shook his head, "This time the person is a second-generation disciple, and his father came to ask the uncle in person, and the uncle had no choice but to give him the translation right." But in the end, Uncle still hopes that you can help proofread ......"

"Forget it." Zhou Heng shook his head, he didn't have ink in his stomach, in case the other party was not good at fooling, it would be exposed, "I was really short of money some time ago, but now it's better, so I don't expect this to make money." ”

"Actually, Uncle still hopes that you can continue to do it." Gu Xiao hesitated, "If you want to continue, he can let you do proofreading." ”

"Let's cooperate again in the future." Zhou Heng coped with it, but in the end he still didn't agree.

After handing in the manuscript and completing the contract and handover work related to the new book, this little turmoil is over. After it was over, Zhou Heng thought for a while and said, "I haven't thanked you well for the last time, are you willing to go to a meal together?" ”

"Uh......" Gu Xiao, who was collecting the file, was stunned, "When?" ”

"I can do it anytime."

"Tomorrow at noon, right?"

"Okay."

After saying so, Zhou Heng's job came to an end. The job that took a lot of trouble to earn the first money is now meaningless to continue. If it was just for Gu Xiao to help him or for some other purpose, it would be better to invite her to dinner directlyβ€”at least Zhou Heng had already done so.

Walking out of the gate of the publishing house and waiting on the side of the road, Zhou Heng thought of the science fiction novel Herbert's Gate. Although the main god helped translate, Zhou Heng was the translator on the surface after all, and he would read at least the things that the main god turned over. This is a dark style science fiction novel, not to mention the despair and horror revealed everywhere in the text, and the protagonist alone has died twice by now. Zhou Heng himself is not very interested in the literary ideology in the book, but there are enough battle scenes in it, and if it is made into a blockbuster, it should also be very good.

Thinking so, the taxi also came. After getting into the car, Zhou Heng suddenly had an idea and thought of a good idea.

If you make a movie, you need to do special effects, right?

Anyway, I'm idle now, so it's good to make some short films or something. 'Polar Night' can't be used to make a game, but it's okay to make a promotional video, right? This kind of movie-level picture quality engine should be more than enough for making a CG movie.

Thinking so, Zhou Heng called 6 Xianlong.

"Hello? Mr. Zhou? ”

"Teacher 6, I have something to ask you." Zhou Heng said, "Do you know what it would take if we used that engine to make a 3D promotional video? ”

"Promo?" 6 Xianlong was stunned, "Is it the new game you are talking about, or is it "Wind Country"?" ”

"The Land of the Wind."

"Then I'll think about ......it," 6 Hyun-ryong paused for a moment, and then said, "Although the engine is ready-made, and Xiao Han and I can design character models, but the scene is a monster or something, and the workload is a bit large." ”

"Can you do storyboarding or anything like that?"

"Xiao Qi and I can do the storyboarding, but these tasks are not the point. I don't know what you're going to do boss, if you want to make a big thing, we don't have enough people. ”

"Then tell me about it."

"First we need to determine the script, character design and storyboard script, which is the preliminary work; The second is the mid-term system and post-processing. Our team lacks talent in sound effects and lighting, but Xiao Han is very good at special effects, and I can leave the rest to me, and it's almost the same to make a general game trailer, but the construction period is about a little longer. ”

"It doesn't matter, let's do the preliminary work first. I only need a rough storyboard and model setting, and I'll figure out the rest. Zhou Heng said, "Then I'll come over right away, and we'll discuss it in person later." ”

Just do it, Zhou Heng didn't have time to go home, and went directly to the company. Making a 3D game is a very complicated process, and if you practice with a promotional video now, it will definitely be beneficial for both future work and team running-in. Now there is only one artist and two 3D designers in the company, although the staff is a little thinner than other large companies, but with the help of the main god, this is not a problem.

When he came to the company, Zhou Heng and his group of elites discussed the production plan of the promotional video. Just like in games, the main god can simulate some 3D animation pictures comparable to movies, but how to make 'good-looking' pictures still requires some professional help. And this has become the reason why Zhou Heng recruited these employees, whether it is storyboard or lighting, this kind of detail that the audience will not notice at all is often the key to making a good animation.

There is no problem with Zhou Heng's idea, but it is not so simple to implement. Zhou Heng didn't intend to disclose the details of himself and the main god to them, so when planning, there would be some unexpected problems in communication; Others are good to say, but it is the experienced 6 Xianlong and Zhou Heng who have the biggest differences.

6 Xianlong has also done a lot of 3D animation before, promotional videos, commercials and games; Even if he has seen the powerful performance of 'Polar Night', at this time, he thinks more about trying to swing the characteristics of 'Polar Night' on the premise of saving manpower and make enough wonderful short films.

At first, his proposal was to make a short film with a plot orientation, and the battle in the film was just a few people fighting. Not only will the effect not be bad, but in the case of 'Polar Night', as long as you pinch some good-looking character models and add a few special effects, the cost will be greatly reduced.

However, Zhou Heng did not agree to this proposal. In the past few days, Zhou Heng, the big boss of the new design of the department, was very satisfied, and insisted on pulling this big guy out to slip away. This new boss is called 'Barren' and is a giant dragon-like creature. If you want to do it in the poster, not only is the modeling very troublesome, but the workload of the monster's actions and special effects is not ordinarily large. Hearing Zhou Heng's idea, 6 Xianlong thought for a while and asked, "Boss, are you ready to ask for foreign aid?" ”

"Sort of, in short, you try to conceive as much as possible, the bolder the plan, the better, as for how to achieve it, you don't need to think about it now."
