Chapter Seventy-Six: Scripts and Special Effects
"By the way, how many artists like you do you know? ”
Shen Ruoxi knows a lot of illustrators, who is engaged in art and doesn't have a few peers? Xiong Xiao is ready to let her form a team and outsource the original paintings.
"Why, you're going to poach people? I'll start by saying that my salary is very high. ”
"I'll give you 5 times, are you satisfied?"
Of course, Shen Ruoxi is not the kind of employee who has no loyalty, she still submitted her resignation report to the HR department of her old club before returning to Xiong Xiao.
The original paintings are heavily outsourced.
Most of the students Shen Ruoxi is looking for are students from art schools, who can earn dozens of yuan a day with a salary of 10 yuan a piece.
Because each original painting is numbered, no one dares to divulge company secrets, after all, students are really easy to deceive.
After a round of submission, Xiong Xiao selected a few good skills for Shen Ruoxi to lead, and the painting team has begun to take shape.
After implementing the character design and original painting, Xiong Xiao began to prepare the script and storyboard.
The reason why the animation of "Full-time Master" in the previous life is so highly rated is not because one aspect is particularly prominent, but because it has found a balance among all the elements.
Plot, characters, lines, pictures..... It may not be brilliant to take out a single element, but all elements are scored 8, which is really not found in domestic animation.
There are many examples of partial science, such as a certain epic masterpiece that has been in preparation for 12 years and is known as the domestic version of "Spirited Away", although it has reached the peak level of domestic history in terms of picture and music, but in the end it fell off the altar because of the bloody plot.
Returning to the original purpose of the cartoon, or telling the story, if you are all about special effects, then why not replay the wearing footage of the Iron Man suit 10 times?
The full-time story is not unusual, it is about the routine of the return of the strong, and the details in the original book can reach an outrageous level, not to mention how detailed the inner activities of the characters are, just a fictional move in it can derive a battle.
Therefore, the plot had to be cut.
Unlike Sword Art Online, the focus of full-time work is not on the game, but on the portrayal of the characters and the depiction of the professional game circle.
It's like the protagonist's retirement, the protagonist's friend's mouth, these are all done very well in the original version, more than 200 chapters of the novel are condensed into 12 episodes, every 16-17 chapters is a script, and after reading it, it still keeps filming, Xiong Xiao wants this kind of rhythm.
It's not complicated, instead of summarizing the content of the comic into a script, he only needs to condense the text of the novel into an outline, and then integrate some more sassy lines, which the original version does well.
The key is that the content of the game has to be greatly changed.
Xiong Xiao called Ke Ran and began to arrange the game scenes in the plot with him.
"At least two perspectives are needed, and in addition to the perspective of the protagonist, you have to add the perspective of the audience. ”
"Why?" Ke Ran didn't understand, the game he understood should be similar to the "Smile" he had done before, and the protagonist played role-playing
"Honor is a game with a lot of bugs, and if you want players to play RPGs from a first-person perspective and play all kinds of skills? Also, each character in the original book has his own exclusive weapon, and one of the major developments that drives the plot is the creation of a thousand machine umbrellas. This is not a big problem in the usual monster farming, picking up equipment, and leveling up, but how can it be done without a trade-off standard in the official competition?"
Ke Ran thought about it and it really made sense, the foundation of competitive games is based on equal conditions, such as "StarCraft", which definitely tests the hard power of the players, and the kind of chicken that relies on strength for 3 points and 7 points for luck, and the remaining 90 points on plug-ins will never be able to become a professional game.
If the equipment of the professional league can be played with the equipment that was stacked before, then the club can spend money on the research of weapons, and the official game does not look at the operation, I will first show the 40-meter god-level machete and then decide whether to compare.
"Let's wait for Brother Xiao, will the audience buy it if you change the settings randomly? I think the audience may not understand it with the addition of a third-person perspective. ”
"No, no, no, they may not know what the audience likes, but they know what they hate. One sentence can make a large wave of sunspots shut up, besides, which remake doesn't change the setting? Do you know that Jiang Naoki's real name is actually called Naoki Irie?
Cut the attribute aura of the god-level account, fine-tune each weapon, and control the player at the same level in the official battle. Do you know how to change it? All the protagonists' equipment has been changed to level 70 silver martial arts, and the door frame of the profession is the full level of weapons, understand?"
Ke Ran nodded, and casually typed a few words on the keyboard, he estimated that it would be a matter of a few words in the play.
Then, there is the fight scene in the play.
A hot-blooded animation, the fight scenes are the essence of the whole play, and it is an important indicator to measure its upper and lower limits.
Although the fight scenes of the original version are well done, I don't know if the production team is short of money or what, and a shot is reused N times, which is comparable to the sequel of Journey to the West.
Like a thousand umbrellas turning into cannons, goblins throwing, these scenes appear in many episodes, and they are untouched, yes, untouched.
But Xiong Xiao is not afraid, he has money, and now he has Ke Ran to help, and the fight scene will definitely not release water.
"Do 3 shades 2. ”
"Huh?"
"The 3D model is rendered into 2D, the mobs and the background do so, and the player's character is honestly drawn. ”
This technique should not be used in high-level animation production, because it was originally invented to liberate the original artist.
To put it bluntly, it's a matter of funding, 3 shades and 2 are done well, then it looks pretty cool, if it is done averagely..... Please refer to the first episode of "Soul Street".
However, since the life scene has been outsourced, and this technology has been widely used in the game, it seems that the original fans should not be able to respond, and the most important thing is that Xiong Xiao himself can definitely do it seamlessly, so that people can't see a sense of disobedience.
"So it's a new technology?"
Ke Ran was very surprised, he watched Xiong Xiao render a boss's mod out into a two-dimensional animation in three or five clicks, the painting style is exquisite and ingenious, and the textures are pasted seamlessly, and he can't tell that this is a three-dimensional prototype at all.
"Amazing, remarkable. Ke Ran applauded and sighed, "If I guessed correctly, use three dimensions to restore two dimensions, and you must know the idea of drawing two methods well, who are you, Brother Xiao?"
"Do you believe me when I say I'm an alien?"
"Faith!"
