Cao Hongyue hoped to use this as a breakthrough to dispel Li Xianyun's idea, but Li Xianyun had already entered the chairman mode and began to dream of painting a big pie, and since this big cake was drawn, he would never give up.

Li Xianyun said directly, "It doesn't take that long, the people of your own company don't need to think about the schedule, and the same goes for the &bsp&bsp venue, and the internal arrangements will be made for you." The external standard process doesn't require so much time to prepare, and the only thing you need to think about is to do a good job of the early storyboard as much as possible. ”

Cao Hongyue is angry, this is exactly my headache!

Co-authoring is all on my head in the end?

She said directly, "This is no longer a storyboard, the dynamic storyboard is not so detailed, this is a rehearsal!" ”

Preview?

Li Xianyun was stunned.

That's right!

Damn,&bsp&bspHow did I forget this!?

Speaking of which, there are many standards for storyboarding.

The lowest storyboard is that there is no storyboard.

Director Sunglasses King doesn't even have a script, let alone a storyboard. Every time I film, I want to paint on the spot, &bsp&bsp&bspI can't think of it, so the crew will take a three-day holiday, and shoot for a day after three days, and if I feel bad, I will continue to take a holiday.

The crew is comfortable and don't want it.

On the basis of no storyboard, it is a stickman storyboard.

It is said that Director Jiang's storyboard is a stickman.

The quality of the storyboard is relatively high, and it is basically a storyboard.

On this basis, there is a comic-level storyboard - the original world is a Chinese ghost story, and the Boss Zhou of the tree demon grandma fell in love with Yan Chixia, and he invited a cartoonist from Hong Kong Island to come over and make a comic storyboard.

Further up there is the dynamic storyboard.

To put it bluntly, it's a simple sketch cartoon.

But the most high-end is the animated storyboard, which can also be called a previs - that is, the film is done in the simplest animation method first.

Animated storyboards are often used in Hollywood's big productions.

The best thing about this way is that you know in advance what you're shooting, and all the shots are in it.

The crew doesn't need to look at the storyboard one by one, just take the notebook to open the video, pull it to the corresponding screen, and know what to do in the general scene and how to place the camera position when you look at the content.

The director only needs to do the details and make the requirements.

Whether it's an actor or something else, it's all clear at a glance.

It's just that the cost of this method is a bit high.,&bsp&bspEven if it's a shoddy animation,It's also a lot of investment.&bsp&bspSo there are still relatively few people doing this in China.。

Anyway, Li Xianyun has never heard of anyone doing this, and he has never seen this even if the god-killing crew invested more than 300 million.

Storyboard is an outline, but when the outline reaches the point of animation storyboarding, it is no longer an outline, but a draft - there are so many great writers in the Internet industry every year, there are those who write outlines, and I have never seen it after writing a draft and revising it from scratch!

Most writers don't even do an outline.

Therefore, some directors don't even do storyboards, and it doesn't affect them to become god-level directors.

But if others don't do this, Li Xianyun can do it!

What he wants is to create a new shooting mode in the Chinese film and television industry, and use the ghosts as a lever to leverage the new production process of the entire Chinese film and television, then this step is very meaningful!

And his request for Cao Hongyue is indeed not an outline, this is especially a draft.

Thinking of this, Li Xianyun nodded, "Then do an animation rehearsal." ”

"What did you say?" Cao Hongyue was stunned.

Li Xianyun said: "Yisheng Media already has enough special effects personnel within it. But a lot of our special effects are live-action, and they just do the offcuts. Now they have a chance to play their part! Let them do the rehearsal template! You direct. And one of the benefits of this is that you don't have to worry about pricing. ”

Wasn't it a headache with pricing before?

If you have a rehearsal, you don't have to worry.

All the content is set in advance, &bsp&bspParty A can not make any requests at will, &bsp&bsp&bsp technical department can also make budgets and quotations according to the content of the rehearsal.

Cao Hongyue glared at him, "How can it be so simple, &bsp&bsp rehearsal is also very troublesome......"

The rehearsal may not seem to be shoddy, but in fact there are various requirements.

The simplest thing is that you can make a cartoon into a stickman, so how to reflect the costumes, props, and makeup? You can't just embody one lens language, right? The awesome director said that the simple lens language does not need a rehearsal at all, and there are a bunch of random thoughts in the mind!

It's like no writer would say that I would rewrite the draft to make the article "smooth".

That's the basics!

In addition to seeing the finished film effect and having a more intuitive feeling, it is very important to improve the details, and the technical team knows what to do at a glance, so in addition to storyboarding, it is also necessary to consider a series of needs such as camera placement, lighting arrangement and so on.

As for Li Xianyun's request?

Te Niang's is higher than Hollywood.

He has to take into account all the scenery and art props - because according to his requirements, once the crew starts up, it must ensure quality and quantity, as well as high quality and high efficiency, then it will definitely not allow anything to be prepared on site, and everything that can be completed in the early stage will never be allowed to be done on site.

If you want one less screw, then the whole crew will really be waiting for that screw.

That's right, he is very quick to make things, but his speed is still in the early stage, and live production is difficult to do - I can't give you a live fusion, right? I've got to go out for a spin, right? If you can't come back too soon, in the wilderness, will people wonder if the screw came out of the old man's urine?

In this case, there is a contradiction, you do it simply, you can't reflect the meaning of the rehearsal, and you do it carefully...... Why are you bothering to do that? I got to do cartoons directly.

Hearing Cao Hongyue say this, Li Xianyun also touched his chin and thought about it.

He knows that things are difficult, after all, this is an epoch-making change, and there will definitely be many problems, but it is precisely because of this that he must persevere!

If it succeeds, Yisheng Media will form a qualitative leap!

"There are always difficulties, but there are always ways to solve them," he muttered. ”

Cao Hongyue pouted, "Don't be official, let's be practical." ”

Director Cao has a fire in his heart, and you are the boss and you still lose your face.

Li Xianyun nodded, "That's it, you try to use real people." ”

The so-called live-action rehearsal is to take a mobile phone to find the actor and perform it first, and this kind of rehearsal can be said to be the easiest and most convenient.

In reality, there are people who do this, such as making samples.

However, there is a difference between a live-action rehearsal and a demo.

The live-action rehearsal is to save the matter of storyboarding, and it can all be done at one time, while the sample is the opposite, and it is very beautifully done - because it is for investors!

The sample fools investors, and the trailer fools the public.

It's as simple as that.

Cao Hongyue said quickly, "Live rehearsals are OK, makeup can be done on the spot, and costume props can be solved through picture design and existing props, but what about the venue, scenery, and art?" This can't be performed live, right? Add in the lights, pyrotechnics and recordings, and you can shoot straight to the movie. Still a fart? ”

Director Cao's face was sublimated, and he was swearing at the boss.

Li Xianyun entered the magnanimity mode and didn't care, "This part can be made in pictures, and if it doesn't work, you can also use other people's lenses." ”

I'm going, you're really open-minded!

Live action, animation, pictures, plus footage from other people's homes......

May I?

Of course.

Anyway, it's used to make drafts, and it doesn't matter how low you are, as long as you can understand it - whose drafts aren't a bunch of graffiti?

Even this animation previs is no one, anyway, Hollywood has never done this.

Big Boss Li is forced to the extreme, he has to save money on everything, he will never do this kind of thing if the rehearsal is too expensive, it is absolutely impossible to do it if the speed is too slow, and if he doesn't do it well, his subordinates are incompetent - sure enough, he began to have the demeanor of a big boss.

Li Xianyun said again, "Of course, this is also improvisation now, what we want is to find out the problem and solve the problem." This approach is not suitable for the whole operation, and there is definitely a need for a solution, and I think you can rehearse the future production method and test it to see how we can meet our needs in a short period of time and at a low cost. ”

Cao Hongyue was stunned, I found another job for myself?

Now it's time to consider the rehearsal process solution!

Boss, you don't bring like this, in order to solve a problem, create a bunch of problems.

But now that Li Xianyun has switched to EO mode, he is about to slap the table - I don't care, you have to do the work for me anyway.

"What about the venue?" Cao Hongyue's heart of resistance is not dead, and she stubbornly resists, "In case a courtyard was made in the rehearsal, but the courtyard was not rented, so I could only change the villa, and all the scenery would be blind." Don't tell me to change the script, I won't shoot it. ”

Once filming starts, there is no guarantee that there will be all kinds of accidents, and Li Xianyun's request is also equivalent to putting an end to accidents.

The preparation was insufficient, and the crew ran aground.

Unexpected appeared, and the crew ran aground.

In the crew that finished filming in 40 days, lack of preparation and accidents are not a problem, and it will take ten days and half a month to lie flat, and more than one-third of the budget belongs to the director's incompetence.

But a 10-day postponement would be three times over budget for a film made under the new model!!

The directors are not incompetent, they are waste wood to the extreme.

The director said that the drafting sister is incompetent, according to Li Xianyun's standards, those who can't fly are not people!

Li Xianyun was also happy, "That's why we have to limit the technical department to a ghost town." We can set the scene of the ghost town, and the outside will be counted. ”

Cao Hongyue was stunned for a moment, too.

The venue of the ghost town has the final say!

Outer...... Dual-crew dual-mode, the outside doesn't have to be so difficult.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is really some possibility of execution, so he asked Li Xianyun, "The ghost town part must be filmed in three days?" Do you want to ensure that you will sell a lot? ”

"It's for you to do tests and find problems, not to give you death orders." Li Xianyun breathed a sigh of relief.

I don't blame you for not being able to do it.

"It takes a lot of work, and I estimate that it will take two months to complete a rehearsal at the earliest."

"Then two months, you are in charge."

"Add money!"

"One hundred and fifty thousand."

"Two hundred thousand, I can cancel the split. I have to toss this film for half a year, not only to do a good job of the film, but also to test various processes for you, to find people, and to give solutions. The cost of the rehearsal cannot be less than 300,000 yuan, and my director fee and rehearsal cost cannot be counted in the budget. ”

After saying this, I instantly regretted it, and now this is the situation, but the more the budget, the more things will happen—don't I continue to make trouble for myself?

Cao Hongyue was desperate.

She felt that she would not be able to negotiate, and that if she talked again, she would have to toss herself to death.

Li Xianyun smiled.

Cao Hongyue's directorial fee, coupled with the rehearsal fee, caused a lot of cost savings to be thrown out, but if you are looking for problems, some money has to be spent.

At this time, he was generous again.

Li Xianyun nodded: "Cheng!" Give me a good job, and it's up to you whether Yisheng Media can build a future film and television empire in the future. ”

Cao Hongyue raised her head: "Then will you give me shares in the company?" ”

"You haven't officially joined the company yet, and you have to add money. If you can ...... cheap."

"Forget it. I can't see the long-term view, it's better to take cash. Cao Hongyue smiled and left.

Li Xianyun didn't mind.

Indeed, there are still many problems with my own model, and it is normal to not be favored. It's just a pity that Director Cao missed a chance to make a fortune after all.

"So, sometimes choice is more important than ability." Li Xianyun muttered to himself.
