Chapter 442: Martial Arts Action Instruction!

Someone from Jade Animation Company came, and He Yun already knew about it, but He Yun didn't go to see them.

The matter of cooperation, He Yun was completely handed over to Wang Ruoyun to discuss.

After all, he knows him as a professional, and he is much better than a layman.

What's more, when the other party came, he happened to be teaching at Kyoto Normal University, and he didn't have time to talk to them about cooperation.

However, what he didn't expect was that the cooperation he thought was foolproof had a slight change.

The other party put forward a condition, they wanted to buy the animation adaptation rights of He Yun's other work "Qin Shi Mingyue" series.

Prior to this, Yangcheng Times Animation had bought its copyright, but at that time, He Yun added a condition that the filming must be completed within the agreed period.

But because of the bankruptcy of Yangcheng Times Animation Company, the matter was finally over.

If you sell the animation adaptation rights to Jade Animation, it's not impossible, but the question is whether Jade Animation will follow the old path of animation in the Yangcheng era.

Is this a question mark?

"In this way, Brother Wang, tomorrow, I will meet them again with you!" He Yun thought about it, and then said to Wang Ruoyun.

"Good!" Wang Ruoyun nodded.

The key to this matter is He Yun, if He Yun doesn't nod, he can't help He Yun make a decision.

Once this condition cannot be negotiated, then the next cooperation will definitely be impossible.

…………

The next day, in the morning, not far from the courtyard, inside a restaurant.

He Yun and Wang Ruoyun met with representatives from Jade Animation Design Company.

"Hello, Manager Chen! This is Comrade He Yun. After Wang Ruoyun shook hands with the other party, he immediately introduced He Yun on the side.

"Hello! Hello! Comrade He Yun, I have admired your name for a long time! ”

Chen Yan is the manager of the Jade Animation Design Department, and he not only knows winter animation, but also knows how to operate.

It is precisely because of this that he was sent by Animation to serve as a negotiator for this cooperation.

"Let's talk while we eat!" At this moment, Wang Ruoyun proposed with a smile.

Hearing his words, He Yun also followed: "Yes, yes, yes...... Let's sit down and talk! ”

"Okay! Waiter, hurry up and serve. ”

Manager Chen shouted in the direction of the door, and immediately said to He Yun: "Comrade He Yun, Comrade Wang Ruoyun should have talked to you, right?" ”

"It's been discussed! In principle, I can agree to your request, but I also have a request, I can only give you three years for the adaptation right, and if you haven't finished filming the first part within three years, then I have the right to withdraw the animation adaptation right. ”

He Yun's request was the same as last time, and the time limit was agreed.

"Three years? Comrade He Yun, the time is too short, at least five years. ”

Manager Chen smiled, but shook his head.

Before this, he had already learned that Yangcheng Times Animation had prepared this animation, but before they started filming, the company arrived.

However, some of the preliminary work, they have already done, and some of the employees are now in their Jade Animation Design Company, if they start this animation project, they will naturally be able to save a lot of preliminary work.

"Five years? Five years is five years, but you have to start this project in three years. He Yun thought for a moment and said to Manager Chen.

"Three years to start? No problem, I can agree to your request on behalf of the company. Manager Chen pondered for a while, and finally agreed to He Yun's request.

Next, he chatted with He Yun about the cost of adaptation rights.

For this question, He Yun has already thought about it.

There is definitely a fee, but he doesn't charge much.

50,000 is enough!

"Fifty thousand? So little! Comrade He Yun, you should add more! I can call the shots and give you a ceiling of 100,000! ”

"No, 50,000 is fine, but I have a request, which is limited to the adaptation fee of the first "Qin Shi Mingyue: Sweeping the Six Kingdoms". He Yun shook his head and said.

In the "Qin Shi Mingyue" series, he created a total of three.

If the first part can be successful in one fell swoop, then the last two parts will definitely not be able to charge so low.

"It's a deal! I'll send you the money as soon as you get back. Manager Chen hesitated for a moment, and then agreed.

After a while, he continued: "Regarding the signing of the contract, let's put it in ten days, and I have to go back to report to the leaders." ”

"Okay." He Yun nodded and responded.

…………

After getting the Jade Animation Design Company, He Yun began to officially write the animation script.

"The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" is a work of children's literature, because it has been anime before, so there will be no major changes to some plots.

However, because it is an anime, considering the difficulty of production, some plots must be slightly changed.

But such as the wonderful fight plots, as well as the description of the scenery of various scenes, he will not change too much.

Especially in the description of the scenery, the original time and space, the cartoon used many real-world attractions.

This time, he plans to do the same, and he will also add many real-world attractions to the original comics.

In addition to this, the wonderful fighting parts are also the success of this anime.

For this reason, considering the coherence of the animation, he deliberately redesigned some moves.

Make the action more flexible, more chic and elegant, and full of more beauty.

Of course, this work has to be done together with Wang Ruoyun and others.

After all, they are professional animators.

…………

And when He Yun was writing the animated script for "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit".

At this moment, the Jade Animation Design Company, which is far away in the Special Economic Zone, is also preparing for this cooperation.

For the work "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit", many people in Jade Animation Design Company are very optimistic.

When they learned from the owner behind the original that the original author wanted to make it into an animated film, they unanimously decided that the cartoon must be made well.

To this end, the company's leadership, concentrated most of the elite forces, and specially set up a new studio, which is personally responsible for the company's vice president.

In addition, they also specially bought relevant computer animation software from the United States and began to prepare for this cartoon.

In fact, it was not only the Jade Times Animation Company that was sad about this, but at this time, the leadership of the Modu Art Film Studio also learned the news.

At first, they weren't impressed.

After all, although the Modu Art Film Studio has lost its former glory, the so-called dead camel is bigger than a horse, and the Modu Art Film Studio is still the "boss" of this industry.

But later, after they learned that the work "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" was He Yun's work, they began to pay attention to it gradually.

When they learned that this was a martial arts cartoon, they were even more stunned.

You must know that before this, Modu Art Film Studio had never considered integrating martial arts into cartoons.

In the eyes of most people, cartoons are only watched by children, and martial arts and animation do not seem to have much to do with each other, even abroad, there are almost no cartoons with this kind of theme.

But after careful discussion, some people in the Modu Art Film Studio found that martial arts seemed to be able to be integrated into cartoons.

It's just that because of the complexity of the moves, the manpower, material resources and time required far exceed those of other comics.

This can't help but remind them of the classic animation masterpiece "Havoc in Heaven" in the 60s and later "Nezha".

With such a big production, their Modu Film Studio can no longer start filming.

…………

Kyoto.

At this moment, He Yun obviously didn't know that the Modu Art Film Studio had begun to pay attention to this unique cartoon.

At this time, he was discussing various fighting moves and action designs with Wang Ruoyun.

"Regarding the rainbow cat's Changhong sword swordsmanship moves, I think it should be different from other character moves in terms of action, the core lies in two words, elegant, to put it more bluntly, that is, it has to be good-looking."

"There is also the swordsmanship of the blue rabbit, which lies in the word smart, the sword dances like a dance, the historical Gongsun aunt knows it, and she wants to dance the sword like her."

"As for Daben's sword, it is more heavy, and it must be powerful to dance。。。。。。。"

He Yun told Wang Ruoyan everything he could think of in one go.

But Wang Ruoyan, who heard his words, was silent like everyone else.

After a while, he smiled bitterly at He Yun: "He Yun, your idea is good, but the question is, do you know these requirements of yours, how long will it take us to design the action?" It will take at least five months, or even longer, and this is not counting the production, the background, the character design, plus the post-production, I am afraid of ......."

"Uh...... Tell me what you think, shouldn't I discuss it with you again?"

He Yun, who heard Wang Ruoyi's words, couldn't help but react, he seemed to take it for granted, today's animation production technology does not seem to be as advanced as that of later generations, many places have to be hand-painted, even the simplest fight scene, only a dozen seconds, it takes dozens of drawings to complete.

If it takes longer, it will require more artwork.

Moreover, He Yun's requirements are still so high, each character's actions must be different, and they also need to have their own characteristics, which is even more difficult.

After all, this is not a comic, a lot of time, only one shape, one move is needed, and the rest is all up to the reader to complete in his mind.

But the cartoon is different, it is moving, many actions must be coherent, and they must meet the requirements put forward by He Yun, which makes Wang Ruoyan and them very embarrassed.

At least not for the time being.

"I can only try to do one of these requirements you put forward, that is, to show the characteristics of their respective character movements, but many moves must be designed similarly, but we can express the characteristics of the characters' movements through the speed of the speed, such as elegant, we can slow down the designed movements appropriately, but simply sharp, and if we are smart, we can speed up the movements, and rearrange some of the original action moves into chaos......."

"But for these, we have to have a martial arts movement instructor to work with us. However, we simply do not have such talents. ”

When Wang Ruoyan said this, He Yun understood it.

In the final analysis, it is still a lack of talent.

Especially the martial arts movement guidance, which is not available in Wang Ruoyi's small team.

In fact, there are not many such people in the country.

However, there are many "dragon and tiger martial artists" on the Xiangjiang side, that is, early action directors.

"Looks like we'll have to get in touch with Jade Animation Design."

He Yun muttered secretly, and left the studio with his script.

.........

A few days later, He Yun received a reply from Jade Animation, saying that they had found an action director from Xiangjiang and would arrange to come to Kyoto in the near future.

After learning the news, He Yun immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

In this cartoon, the action of fighting is one of the most critical elements of the whole animation, and if the fighting action is not good-looking, it will inevitably overshadow the whole animation.

As for the depiction of those real-world attractions, this is not difficult for He Yun, he found many travel-related magazines and books from the library, excerpted a large number of texts from them, and after returning, he and Wang Ruoyi After some discussion, finally established twenty-four real-world attractions, such as Wuyi Mountain, Wudang Mountain, Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, Leshan Giant Buddha and so on.

For these, if they were to be put in the future, they would inevitably be created using digital scenery painting technology, but now, they can only be done by hand.

Fortunately, the difficulty is not very high, after all, it is just a background, and many special effects can also be reused, such as water splashes and wind effects, which can be used one.

Moreover, their production team is not only Wang Ruoyi, but also Kyoto TV and Jade Animation Design Company.

The three parties can be made separately and then put together.

For example, the design of the background and character modeling can be handed over to Wang Ruoyi's team, and at the same time, some other production procedures can be completed by the Kyoto TV Animation Department and Jade Animation Design Company.

In this way, you can save a lot of time.

........

Mid-May.

Kyoto Railway Station.

Wang Ruoyi stood at the exit of the station, holding a sign, as if waiting for someone.

A moment later, a man walked towards him.

The visitor was wearing a peaked cap and a brown coat, his name was Yuan Yang, and he was a Xiangjiang action director.

Of course, compared to those famous directors, he is not worth mentioning at all, he just served as an action director in some unknown movies.

Moreover, when he came to Kyoto this time, he was also sent by TVB, not his own will.

Especially when he learned that he was about to direct an animated film, he didn't have much interest, if it weren't for this time, he didn't get any work, and this time the salary was relatively high, he wouldn't have come to Kyoto at all.

"Hello, are you Mr. Yuan Yang? I'm Wang Ruoyi, and I'm here to pick you up. ”

Wang Ruoying has been in the Special Administrative Region and naturally speaks Cantonese.

It's just that for his words, Yuan Yang just replied lightly: "Let's go, let's do things first, and after finishing things, I will go back to Xiangjiang." ”

"Uh...... Good! Wang Ruoyan didn't expect the other party's attitude to be so indifferent, but he still held back, nodded, and led the other party towards the side of the road.

At this time, He Yun sat in the driver's seat.

Wang Ruoyan was the first to come over, he muttered two words in He Yun's ear, He Yun's face suddenly changed, and he said coldly to Yuan Yang who came over: "You can go back now!" I'll tell Xiangjiang about it. ”
