Chapter 697 "Bear Infested" Protecting the Forest Theme

The term film and television industry includes film and television.

However, within the industry, there is a big difference between a movie actor and a TV series actor.

In the eyes of the audience, TV drama actors are not necessarily less well-known than movie actors, but it will be more difficult for general TV drama projects to invite movie actors to star.

Of course, money can certainly accomplish a lot of things.

However, when the amount of banknote capacity reaches a certain level, the project is no longer an ordinary project.

Ordinary TV drama directors can't take on such a big project.

When "The Hidden Corner" was established, the investment budget was not high.

However, Fang Xing, as the producer, is expected to become the annual box office champion director for three consecutive years, and his prestige is enough to invite many film actors to join.

As a result, "The Hidden Corner" has invited several film actors to star, and several of them have even been nominated for awards.

After the crew started filming, Fang Xing followed for two days, and saw that the crew was running smoothly, and there was no problem with Wang Yutao's shooting.

Fang Xing was relieved to hand over the crew to him.

The other side.

Nebula Animation is discussing the project "Bear Infested".

Judging from the past works of Nebula Animation, the cartoons made belong to the genre that can be watched by both children and adults.

Even, more inclined to show it to adults.

From "Spirited Away" to "My Neighbor Totoro" to "Nezha", there are many plots in the movie that children may not really understand.

Of course, thanks to the cartoon style, it is indeed suitable for children to watch.

and then to the recent "What Happened to the Rabbit That Year", this cartoon is not simple in style, but the content is not low at all.

Therefore, the main audience of the cartoons produced by Nebula Animation before is still mainly adult audiences.

This time, Fang Xing's "Bear Infested" project is more inclined to children's cartoons.

Moreover, Fang Xing's plan is to make a series.

For a series of cartoons to be successful, it is not possible to succeed by simply pushing an animated movie out.

Therefore, Fang Xing's "Bear Infested" project plan is to make a TV version of the cartoon first.

If there is no audience accumulation in the TV version, the chance of success will not be too great if you go directly to the movie.

Even if you smash out a box office of two or three hundred million by smashing publicity, it is not a success.

Therefore, after reading the project plan and script of "Bear Infested", Liang Whale is not sure whether this project can be done.

Nebula Animation has been discussing this topic for the past few days.

The script of "Bear Infested" given by Fang Xing is only a part.

The first season of the TV version of "Bear Infested" has 52 episodes, and there are more than a dozen seasons.

If you really want to make this series, you need to have a team of writers who specialize in writing the script.

Fang Xing will provide plot ideas, and let the screenwriting team improve the script according to the characteristics of this series.

Overall, this project is an animation genre that has not been tried before for Nebula Animation.

And, so far, Nebula Animation has not made a TV version of the anime.

If it can be broadcast on TV, the success rate of this series will be much greater.

For the current Nebula Animation, the level of production and the ability to talk about the broadcast platform are there, and the only thing to worry about is whether it will be unsuitable for the sudden change of the audience of the work.

At present, the project plan of "Bear Infested" is only scheduled for the first season.

Fang Xing gave the management of Nebula Animation a reassurance: "After this series of animations is made, I will personally talk about the broadcast platform in the first season."

"CCTV Children's Channel, Donghai Satellite TV Children's Channel, or Xiangjiang Satellite TV's Children's Channel, I will talk about it one by one and strive to be broadcast on the stars.

"And, as the first season of the series of animations, I don't put too much pressure on it, as long as I work hard, the broadcast results will not be included in the year-end assessment.

"Of course, if the broadcast results are good, the performance bonus will not be less."

This attitude was released, and the mentality of Nebula Animation up and down was much more stable.

In fact.

One of the reasons why Nebula Animation's employees did not have confidence in the project was that the previous results were too good.

The first animated film was "Spirited Away", and then "Nezha" directly won the annual box office champion.

This kind of start is simply standing at the top of the pyramid of the animation industry.

The higher you stand, the more pressure you will naturally have.

Walking downhill will make the difference unbearable.

And now the project "Bear Infested" wants to change the audience from the adult market to the children's market.

This kind of change is not something that any company can do.

Fang Xing encouraged: "I have already asked people to contact the editorial team and improve the script according to the script ideas I provided. In the first season, I will follow the whole process from the script to the production.

"Let's make the first season first, and then after it is broadcast on the stars, we will look at the results and then consider the follow-up production plan."

According to the project plan of the first season of "Bear Infested", there are a total of 52 episodes.

The series started with 104 episodes per season, but Fang Xing plans to streamline the content and increase the length to make the animation more compact.

Moreover, this project does not require high animation accuracy, and it is actually very fast to make.

In addition, this project does not require high precision in animation, but it is actually much easier to make than an animated film like "Nezha".

In terms of production difficulty, this series is not difficult for Nebula Animation.

Produce the first season first, look at the broadcast results and then arrange the follow-up production plan, this way will have a much lower risk factor.

In case, in case the broadcast of this series is really poor, it's a big deal to just give up this series.

Of course.

Fang Xing is still quite confident in this series, and plans to follow the whole process in the first season, from the script to the content produced.

After the discussion at the meeting, Nebula Animation officially established the project and launched the "Bear Infested" series of animation projects.

The first season of "Bear Infested" began official production.

The background of this cartoon is set in a quiet and peaceful primeval forest in the northeast.

The air is fresh and everything is revived. The two brothers, Xiong Da and Xiong Er, chased and ran in the forest, living happily.

At this moment, the silence of the forest was broken by the roar of the engine, and it was a bald, thin man, his name was bald and strong, and he was a lumberjack.

The story of this cartoon is actually about the theme of protecting forests.

The theme of protecting forests has a very positive meaning.

And the characters in the animation, Xiong Da Xiong Er is the forest protector, and the whole series of stories is the story of the funny duel between Xiong Da Xiong Er and the woodlogger Bald Qiang who destroys the forest.

After Nebula Animation launched this project, with some of the scripts and plot ideas provided by Fang Xing, the editing team improved the script quickly.

In a month, Nebula Animation came up with two episodes of sample films.

After Fang Xing read it, he put forward some revisions.

Liang Jing continued to lead the team and make modifications to the sample film.

From the image of the animated characters to the design of the plot conflict, it has been optimized.

Since the animation of Nebula Animation is placed horizontally, even if it is a dailies, the picture accuracy is very high.

Fang Xing even felt that the accuracy of the samples had exceeded expectations, and even reduced the accuracy to improve the production speed.

After all, this cartoon won by quantity in the early stage.

After the broadcast, two episodes will be simulcast every day, so the production speed must be fast.

When it first started.

Since the bald head is a villain, the animator made this character a bit hideous.

However, Fang Xing felt that the most important role of this role was actually responsible for bad luck, and it needed to be reorganized by Xiong Daxiong.

Therefore, the image of the bald head is not a villain in the general sense, but has both the characteristics of bad luck and funny, and is responsible for being abused.

After Fang Xing's reminder, Liang Whale modified the two episodes of the samples, which made the two episodes more joyful.

If it was like that at the beginning, the bald head was strong and hideous, and it was very bad, which was more in line with the image of a villain in the traditional sense.

However, the audience of "Bear Infested" is children, and there is no need for such a serious villain, but a funny villain.

This is also the habit left over from the Nebula Animation team, which produces cartoons for adult audiences.

After all, children's animation and adult animation, the two types are very different.

After Fang Xing's reminder, Liang Whale gradually grasped the essence of the cartoon "Bear Infested".

In fact, Liang Whale is also a father, and he has always had the cute appearance of his daughter Xiao Yu when she was learning to speak.

He knows what children like, but he just wants to show this feeling in the animation, but it's not that simple.

However, after Fang Xing's click, he gradually became more comfortable with the production, and the animation production speed became faster and faster.

In the process of production, he gradually found a piece of happiness.

Because he put his love for his daughter into the animation.

Sometimes, he wonders how good it would be to be able to make an animation that his daughter would like sooner.

Now that my daughters are older, and I'm about to go to junior high school, I don't know if I will like this "Bear Infested".

Thinking of this, he felt a little regretful.

This series should have been done sooner.

The more he thought about it, the more fatherly love he poured into the production of the animation.

Every cultural work is the product of the condensed emotions of the maker.

This emotion is poured into every detail of the work.

The audience may not be able to see it, but it can certainly be felt.

In the first season of "Bear Infested", Fang Xing was the producer of the whole process, and after each episode was completed, it was the first batch to watch.

Fang Xing can see that the production of the first season is getting better and better, and it is getting better and better.

The quality of the animation has gone up, but the production speed is not slow at all.

When the first season of "Bear Infested" was about to be completed, Fang Xing began to look for a broadcast platform according to the original idea.

Thanks to this anime series, the target audience is children.

Therefore, the choice of the broadcast platform is clear, and it must be the children's channels of each David TV.

Fang Xing took the first 26 episodes of the first season and made an appointment with the leaders of CCTV to meet.

Because Fang Xing has been to the Spring Festival Gala many times, and some dramas have been broadcast on CCTV, he knows a lot of leaders of CCTV.

However, I don't know the leader of the children's channel of CCTV.

After the introduction of Li Changhong, deputy director of the CCTV TV drama channel, I went to meet Xu Qingsong, the director of the children's channel.

After meeting, Fang Xing showed him the finished film of "Bear Infested".

After watching it, Xu Qingsong was very interested in the cartoon and promised to discuss the research with the leaders of the station at the next meeting.

……

After talking to the leaders of CCTV, Fang Xing went back to wait for news, and did not go to Donghai Satellite TV and Xiangjiang Satellite TV.

After all, if you don't want CCTV, it's more appropriate to find Donghai Satellite TV and Xiangjiang Satellite TV.

Otherwise, if you find three TV stations at the same time, if the central station asks for it, the two provincial satellite TV stations will definitely not dare to grab it, and things will be more embarrassing at that time.

As for whether the central station will want it, Fang Xing is not worried.

CCTV doesn't want it, then find other provincial satellite TV, the quality of this animation is very good, it's impossible that no TV station is willing to broadcast it.

……

Xu Qingsong has served as the director of CCTV Children's Channel for many years, and he has a good idea of what type of film the children's channel is suitable for.

The film and television works broadcast by CCTV are actually some different from provincial satellite TV.

Provincial satellite TV can reduce the rigid requirements in many aspects for the sake of entertainment.

If it is an online platform, it is completely closer to entertainment.

CCTV is different, and it requires positive energy and positivity for the film, and it is best to have educational significance.

"Bear Infested" meets these requirements and is about protecting forests.

Kyoto has always been plagued by smog, and protecting forests and the environment is a very meaningful theme.

Therefore, after Xu Qingsong took out the work "Bear Infested" for discussion at the meeting, it was quickly approved.

Only waited for three days.

Fang Xing received a call from Xu Qingsong, asking Nebula Animation to take all the finished films to CCTV for a review, and after confirming that there is no problem, you can sign the contract.

Liang Whale was very happy to hear the news.

The works he has produced have been on the big screen and video websites, but he has not yet been on the TV station.

This time on the TV station, it was directly CCTV, and I was a little excited.

According to the agreed time, Fang Xing and Liang Whale took the first season of "Bear Infested" to CCTV to meet with the leaders of the children's channel.

After the screening is over, the contract is signed.

CCTV Children's Channel began to schedule and prepare to broadcast "Bear Infested".

Due to the children's cartoons, the propaganda effect is very average.

Therefore, after "Bear Infested" was scheduled, Ark Culture only arranged a few simple publicity activities, without large-scale publicity.

After all, no matter how much children promote cartoons, they will not cause too much heat.

Whether this cartoon can succeed depends on whether it can be liked by the audience when it is broadcast.

Arrange the work of "Bear Infested".

Fang Xing went to "The Hidden Corner" to visit the class and see Wang Yutao's filming progress.

Since Fang Xing has stirred up the storm on the big screen for three consecutive years, new film and television projects, as long as they bring the name of Shang Xing, it is too easy to invite actors.

Even if it's just a TV series, you can invite many movie actors to help.

Therefore, the main actors of "The Hidden Corner" are all acting schools.

When Wang Yutao was filming, he felt very relaxed, and he basically didn't need to talk about the drama, and the actors could play the drama well.

He only needs to be responsible for getting the shot right, and the shooting will go smoothly.

Of course, with an attitude of excellence, he still added a lot of shooting materials to leave more space for editing.

Because of the subject matter of this drama, it is actually very sensitive.

Regarding whether "Zhu Chaoyang" pushed his sister to the plot, there are many possibilities.

Wang Yutao also filmed these possibilities first, and then determined the final version when editing in the end.

Due to the sensitive subject matter, the review of this drama is also a problem.

If the edited version does not pass the review, it must continue to be revised.

Fang Xing and Wang Yutao both felt that they should leave something bright for this drama, even if it was too dark.

And because it is a suspense drama, the plot will leave a lot of room for the audience's imagination.

After reading the shooting materials, Fang Xing was very satisfied with the camera movement and the actors' performances, and after the finalization, he would see what effect he could edit.
