Chapter Seventy-Two: Animating the Novel

In the past few days, Xiong Xiao has finally been idle, but what makes him depressed is that the last "Four-wheel Drive Brothers" is a direct source, so he can only take 2% of the total income in return. And because of the lack of work in the production part, the level has not been raised.

He was going back to school for a vacation, and by the way, he returned Zhao Jie's tablet.

"You've really borrowed and repaid. Zhao Jie is still as poisonous as ever, but the symptoms are slightly better when he comes to him. "Remember what I borrowed your computer for in the first place? Now that it's been so long since the half-term exams have passed, I don't think you'll take classes in the second half of the semester, so let's wait for next year to retake it!"

"Really? That's great!"

"You're really a dead face, are you? I'm talking about retaking the exam, not the make-up exam, do you understand?"

"Mr. Zhao, don't be angry, I've been busy making four-wheel drive cars recently, in order for the majority of players to happily play the latest cars, of course, I have to sacrifice my own time!"

"Four-wheel drive?" Zhao Jie looked at him in surprise, "You should say it's indulgence! People in their twenties still hold their toys all day long, can they be more mature?"

Don't you know that in your previous life, a certain treasure four-wheel drive car sold more than 10,000 yuan a month? Aren't they all bought by people in their thirties for nostalgia?

"Rest your anger, Mr. Zhao will be angry, I'll be free another day... Oh no, I'll fry rice for you. ”

"Huh?"

"Golden fried rice, you know, the little master. ”

.......

After returning the computer, Xiong Xiao didn't want to stay in school anymore, because the plan for a new animation was already on the agenda.

Although there is no two-dimensional culture in this world, after the baptism of Xiong Xiao's three consecutive cannons, people more or less have a certain understanding of cartoons, or rebuild their understanding.

After seeing such a few profound cartoons, there has been a growing demand on the Internet recently, that is, many readers of novels have strongly asked Dongsheng Studio to animate their favorite novels.

In previous lives, the animation of novels was a craze.

Once the time is ripe for a hit novel, it is a sure thing that it will be brought to the screen.

Because of the accumulation of fans of the novel, animated works will undoubtedly receive a lot of attention once they come out. Even in the worst-case scenario, the ratings hit the street, with the support of a huge number of fans of the original work, it will not be too bad.

"Fate", "Sword Art Online", "Catalogue of Forbidden Books of Magic", ...... These perennial works that dominate the denki library have undoubtedly slaughtered the major ratings lists again after they were animated, and once again took away the money of major original fans and anime fans.

If you go a little deeper and invest more money and manpower, you can reach the height of film.

Hayao Miyazaki's "The Witch Home Delivery Service" and "Howl's Moving Castle" are both based on novels, and the latter is still the second highest grossing Neon local movie box office chart.

....

The literary industry in this world is very developed, and the readership base of novels is also extremely large, accounting for almost half of the total number of people.

Readers spontaneously started a questionnaire survey to vote for the novel they most wanted to adapt, and every time the list came out, Aite Xiongxiao and Dongsheng Studio, because the communication between this low-key author and the outside world currently only exists on the Weibo platform.

Xiong Xiao swept dozens of lists, and the first three works were roughly the same: "Breaking the Sky", "Full-time Master", and "Tomb Robbery Notes".

These three works were also hot super IPs in the previous life, animation, TV series have remakes, there are dozens of derivative fan fiction alone, and even some authors who rely on imitation of "Breaking the Sky" can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

However, the level of animation of these three novels is uneven, and for the animation technology of Huaxia Kingdom in the previous life, some novels really shouldn't be animated, such as the super IP at the beginning of the two buckets.

Probably influenced too deeply by "Qin Shi Mingyue", the producer thought that he could rely on the same trick to fool the audience, but I don't know how many years have passed since the advent of "Qin Shi Mingyue", society is progressing, aesthetics are improving, how can the audience still buy the quality account ten years ago.

Although the animation of "Douluo Continent" has made a great breakthrough in the existing technology of Guoman, such as the use of volumetric fog technology (light through volumetric fog to form a real volumetric light, increasing space suspension and spatial texture) These advanced technologies are used to enhance the light, but the rough character design, lengthy lines, and the sense of déjà vu of the game mod in the whole play make the audience not very satisfied.

For example, there is a scene about Tang San and a few children whose martial souls awakened, and when several supporting characters were cast by the master of the war soul and floated into the air, the character mod was obviously moving his limbs and his mouth was open, but the audience couldn't hear a "oh" and "ah" sound.

Or the battle between Xiao Wu and Tang San when they competed for the boss of the dormitory in the dormitory, the two fought for more than 40 seconds, and only heard Xiao Wu "hum" and "ha" throughout the whole process, if you listen carefully, you will find that these onomatopoeia are repeated several times.

The same problem also appears in "Dou Po", although the click-through rate is frighteningly high, but how many are there who really say that it is excellent? Those who give high marks to the animation are either based on loyalty to the original work, or they are afraid of fans spraying, after all, those who dare to speak the truth on the Internet in their previous lives have been banned.

Of course, there are many successful cases of this kind of 3D animation, since Pixar's "Toy Story" marked the entry of animation into the three-dimensional age, 3D animation from other companies has also followed. Blockbusters like "Final Fantasy - The Arrival of the Holy Child" and "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" are all well-made and good works with excellent box office.

As for the 3D animation of Shuangdou, Xiong Xiao thinks that either don't animate, or do 2D honestly, and the worst thing to do 3D is to reach the level of the official promotional video of "League of Legends".

So the option of "Breaking the Sky" can be ruled out, and Xiong Xiao set his sights on the next two parts.

The IP of "Tomb Robbery" is the same as the previous life, and it has been adapted into online dramas, TV series, and movies in this world, and the cold rice has been fried several times.

It's hard.

As the saying goes, there are a thousand Lin Daiyu for a thousand Hamlets, and the characters imagined by each reader are different.

If a character has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, then no matter how well it is reproduced, it will look like a pirated version, just like Monkey King and Liuxiao Lingtong, L and Kenichi Matsuyama.

Xiong Xiao can already imagine the situation after "Tomb Robbery" is animated, that is, the four-way spray.

So for the sake of insurance, he felt that it was much easier to animate "Full-time Master", after all, it was much easier to bluff one party than to bluff four people.
