"Sheep Calendar Year 3010."

"The ancestor of the sheep group, the first generation of the leader of the sheep soft cotton village chief, came to the Qingqing grassland in order to escape the pursuit of the wolves......"

In the dubbing room, as the voice actor slowly reads out the first narration line on the script in a deep voice, the story of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" officially begins.

In the modern digital animation production process, it is usually a pre-recording, post-drawing of the original picture to correct the synchronized lip shape, and then the work of film synthesis and editing.

This is different from traditional animation.

In the traditional animation production, there is no current software and lip calculation technology, and the "sound and picture synchronization" is to make the character's voice and mouth shape consistent, which is completely completed by the personal experience of the original artist.

Honestly, it was too hard.

Fortunately, the rapid progress of science and technology, and the vigorous development of large-scale computer hardware and software, have provided sufficient technical support for animation production.

This also saved Gu Miao a lot of things.

The story of the first episode of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf begins with a book "100 Ways to Catch Sheep" left to him by Big Big Wolf's ancestors.

When he and his wife Red Wolf came to the Qingqing Grassland and saw the countless fat sheep in the sheep village, they immediately had the idea of deceiving the lamb to open the door for him and then catch the sheep.

This is the first time that Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf have met......

It is also the beginning of a bad relationship!

As the gray wolf was suspected of the identity of his village chief's relatives by Pleasant Goat because of his "different footprints", and then used a fan to blow away his camouflaged sheepskin and turban, the first sheep hunt failed.

In a cry of "I will come back", the first episode of "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf" of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf officially came to an end.

The duration is exactly 15 minutes.

This is the length specially stipulated by Gu Miao, and this is the case for every subsequent episode. After all, the plot is simple and rough in production, and if it is too long, it will seem extremely protracted and cumbersome, so it is better to be shorter.

If you have money in the later stage, you can consider making a longer length, but forget it now.

From the release of the first original picture of Big Big Wolf, to the end of "the end of this episode" in the last scene of the first episode, the production team went up and down more than a dozen people, and it only took two days.

It could be even faster!

Because it is the first episode, including the forest, the river, the iron gate of the sheep village, the big fat sheep school and other scenes need to be drawn separately, so the progress is slow.

After that, it's different.

Due to the monotony and reproducibility of the characters and scenes, coupled with the mature Flash animation technology and crude animation effects, the production of subsequent episodes can completely achieve one episode a day.

Be bold, two episodes a day!

Gu Miao never thought that filming could be so simple. Think about when he was filming a TV series, let alone one episode a day, it would be good to be able to shoot one scene a day.

Sometimes the actor is not in good condition and needs to take a few more guarantees, or the weather is not suitable for filming, and the crew stops work for a day.

It's still comfortable to do animation!

What actor status? Guaranteed one?

What is the bad weather and the props are not in order?

To hell with it!

As long as there is no fear of the sudden death of the animator and the original artist, the production team can work overtime 24 hours a day to meet the deadline, and this working environment is simply Gu Miao's paradise.

Of course......

It's heaven for him, and it's a literal hell for the animators under him.

The dragon slayer will eventually become an evil dragon!

A few days ago, Gu Miao was an oppressed person who stayed up all night and died suddenly, and just a few days later, he became the chief director of the project that exploited others.

What is this?

If we had reversed roles, I'd let you understand what cruelty is?!

I have to say, it's pretty cool......

After laughing secretly, Gu Miao took out her mobile phone and dialed Minister Wang's phone and asked him about the specific schedule and submission for review.

"So fast?!"

Minister Wang probably didn't expect that after only a week, Gu Miao had already roughly cut a few episodes and prepared to broadcast them.

"Shoot while broadcasting, it's too late."

"Our current production schedule can fully support this model. If it's all done and then broadcast, it will be too long to delay. Gu Miao patiently explained.

The first part has 530 episodes!

The one million invested by Jiangchuan Children's Channel will be produced to about 50-80 episodes at most, and then there will be no money to pay salaries, so I will hire a dubbing and animation outsourcing team.

Counting up, the TV animation project of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" still needs at least about 15 million funds to finish.

Where do you get so much money?

Minister Wang said that Jiangchuan Children's Channel is so poor that he can't open the pot, and he has done his best to take out 1 million.

In this case, he can only choose the production mode of "shooting and broadcasting".

Assuming that the ratings are okay, Jiangchuan Children's Channel can receive a large amount of advertising fees, and with sufficient confidence, there will be no shortage of funds for the follow-up production of the project.

Even if the ratings are not good, it can cut the stop loss of the project in time and not jump off the building.

No matter how you calculate it, you can't lose anything.

"What you say also makes sense, then listen to you, and broadcast while producing!" Minister Wang made a decision.

According to what he said, Jiangchuan TV will send it for internal review sooner, and the results will be available in about a week. Therefore, the premiere date of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" should not be too late, tentatively scheduled for 6 pm next Saturday.

Two episodes a day!

If the response is okay, then add another midday "replay" file during the day. Anyway, Jiangchuan Children's Channel has few programs, so I don't have to worry about not being able to vacate the schedule.

Gu Miao thought for a moment.

If it premieres next Saturday, it will probably be able to produce 15-20 episodes, and at the rate of two episodes a day, it can be broadcast for a week.

Enough is enough!

A week is enough time to test the quality of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and decide the life and death of this project.

"The preliminary publicity work must be done well!"

Gu Miao reminded: "The ratings base of Jiangchuan Children's Channel is really too ...... It's bad. If you don't get the word out, I'm worried that something will go wrong. ”

The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys?

Pull it down!

With the performance of Jiangchuan Children's Channel, how many regular viewers can there be? If you don't promote it well, no matter how good your work is, you have to bury it.

"I understand, don't worry."

This is not an old animation bought at a low price, but a new animation invested and produced by its own TV station.

In terms of the degree of attention, Minister Wang is probably better than Gu Miao, the chief director. After all, this animation is funded and produced by the children's channel, and it is a proper "pro-son".

The money has been spent, is there still a little bit of promotion resources?

It's a TV station that lacks everything, except advertising space and advertising time. To publicize and promote this part, it is a big deal to ask for some resources from other brother channels.

With the huge ratings base of Jiangchuan comprehensive channel and news channel, you can attract a little audience casually, and that can also meet the needs of publicity.

After listening to his arrangement, Gu Miao was relieved.

There are other channels to help attract and promote, and there will definitely be no shortage of viewers in the early stage. The only thing to worry about is whether "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" can conquer children with discerning tastes?
