Chapter 11 The Establishment of Yisheng Studios (Part I)

During the May Day Golden Week, Yisheng Media had two theaters in cooperation with other companies online. The scale of investment is medium, and among the twelve movies launched during the key Golden Week, there are only four films of medium or higher scale, and Yisheng Media accounts for three.

It's also a hegemon.

But this form will become more and more in the future.

In this Golden Week, Li Xianyun piled up the most unoptimistic films and tried to avoid conflicts with higher-level works.

Because there are no decent competitors, the box office performance is reasonable, and it is basically a small profit.

And on the next National Day, it will be the second part of the broken army, then the second part of 007, and then it may be the super hero series, and then the third part of the broken military line 007 third part

Yisheng Media produces five or six theaters every year, plus other cooperative theaters, and within the film and television industry, they have begun to shout that the wolf is coming.

After the development of the past two years, the technology department of Yisheng Media has also begun to become more and more mature and more and more accepted by other film and television companies.

As Su Haili said, as long as the films cooperated by the Technology Department do not lose money, and there is an undefeated golden body, then everything will be easy to do later.

In addition,Phantom demon cartoons have also begun to be produced,As a series of animation,As long as you do a certain number of episodes, you can go online,It's expected to come out in June.,But this is a TV screen and network platform that dominates.,Finally, it doesn't occupy theater resources.。

At the same time, the first and second phases of the ghost town adventure have been completed, and it is expected to be launched in the second half of the year.

There is also the second animal film that has also been completed, produced in the name of Moe Heart Pictures.

It is estimated that Sun Junliang was furious when he knew about it afterwards.

Finally, Li Xianyun provided the creative framework, and the office palace fight drama in charge of the old ghost has been put on the agenda and is expected to be launched in the second half of the year.

It can be said that this year's Yisheng Media is a full bloom of Internet University, cinemas, animation, variety shows and TV series.

The momentum of the limelight is unmatched for a while.

Behind this strong production is Li Xianyun's increasing need for entertainment, as well as the urgent need for internal adjustment.

Today, Li Xianyun called Su Haili over and got straight to the point: "It's time to separate the technical department, the backstage department and the production department." ”

Su Haili was puzzled: "Why now?" ”

"Because the module setting is already complete."

Saying that, Li Xianyun opened the picture on the computer, and a wooden structure diagram appeared in it: "Most of the on-site scenery can be completed in this way." It's like building blocks, no matter what scene we want to build, we can build it now. ”

"Lego?" Su Haili was surprised.

"That's right." Li Xianyun pointed to the picture and said: "It's like building Lego, of course, we don't pursue fun, we don't need to search hard like Lego, all the basic pieces have a mark, and they can be combined into various interior scenes." Beds, cupboards, sofas, and even houses are fine. Anything is needed for it. ”

"But it doesn't make sense." Su Haili was puzzled: "Isn't it okay to get a ready-made bed?" Why do you have to put it together yourself? Isn't that redundant? ”

"The purpose of the patchwork is to change the shape, and all the wooden structures are colorless, logs, which need to be re-artistic. For example, today, I need a big bed with a faucet on it. Tomorrow I need a round bed with a hundred birds and phoenixes on it. We put it together with blocks so we didn't have to buy two beds. ”

Su Haili: They understood.

Yes, they have airbrushes, and the decoration can be directly applied to the airbrush, and the use of paintable oil paint, and Ke Demon can not only color, but also fade!

Therefore, on the basis of fast art, all furniture scenes can be made using the building block method.

For others, this is an act of taking off their pants and farting, which is not possible at all, but for Yisheng Media, it is another improvement in efficiency.

To put it bluntly, what you need is directly spelled, and then quickly color the picture above.

When you're done, disassemble and remove the piece.

To put it bluntly, isn't art just about putting on makeup for something other than people?

All in all, the things of scenery art work suddenly become a work of stacking blocks, and only a few more crew workers are responsible for carrying them.

Field work is not worth much, three or four hundred a day, please a hundred is no problem.

In this way, those originally non-reusable scenery can be reused, but the most important thing is to improve efficiency - the main significance of the LEGO module is to change the on-site setting requirements to the behind-the-scenes setting, which can be operated behind the scenes, and Ke Demon They can play a role.

Of course, this method cannot solve all the problems, but even if it can only solve some of the problems, it is an increase in efficiency.

Under the operation of Li Xianyun, from the scenery art, to the lighting and photography, to the camera placement, to the actors, to the costumes, every step has been accurately planned, and the time has been calculated to the extreme.

This plan was conceived of when the closed studio was built, and at that time, the closed studio was controlled by the ghost of the house, and the so-called moving trouble did not exist, and he could easily complete it as much as you tossed.

On this basis, Li Xianyun and Jiang Zheng thought about whether they could use some means to develop this advantage outdoors.

Shortly after that, Zhou Fanjin proposed the modular operation of the rehearsal software.

That's exactly what you need.

In other words, the previs module and the realistic set module can be synchronized!

They have also made many attempts to do this, and they have not completely done it until now.

In addition to this, the rehearsal system has also been upgraded again.

The new pre-show system led by Zhou Fanjin rehearses not only the finished animation, module construction, and even the workflow.

That is to say, once the crew is in place, how to arrange the work, will appear in the rehearsal system, and then send it to everyone through the backstage operating system.

The system will even have direct work arrangements for each crew, even the placement of cameras, lighting erection, etc., will be reflected in the preparation, and the work arrangements of all the staff will be envisaged at the same time.

In this case, the transformation of large studios to a pure technology model, how to schedule, how to maximize the use of resources, how to arrange crews, how to arbitrage, are all in the planning process, and the creation of film and television is becoming a real assembly line operation mode, and each link is a screw on the assembly line.

How long does it take to set the scene, how long does it take to set the lighting, how long does it take to shoot, and even the actors enter the mood and makeup time, all need to be accurately controlled.

When the time comes, even the venue can be done in this way - what attractions do you want? Directly find an empty space for you to build, brush to start, and disassemble the brush brush after shooting.

As long as it's not a skyscraper with hundreds of floors, it can all be installed for you. If you really want hundreds of skyscrapers, you can do it directly on special effects - the special effects department of Yisheng Media is now also developing rapidly.

Anyway, the world's filming workers spend a lot of money, and Yisheng Media will be less and less in the future, so it's a big deal to spend some copyright money and use the name of your landmark building - it's hard to ask you for sponsorship fees.

This kind of practice is called incredible when it is put aside by others, and it is called a family meal when it is put aside by Yisheng Media.

The third reason is that Li Xianyun is also increasingly aware of the urgent need to separate art and technology.

The mass production of art is too difficult, it is a natural constraint.

It's not like anything else that can be standardized. Art is hard to standardize, audiences' tastes are always changing, and no one knows what they'll like next year. Of course, this is not impossible to solve, correct marketing, market feedback, and then a series of reports, made into tables, look professional. But it's not actually a fart.

Art is a very subjective thing, and the bosses of film and television companies can't even determine who the talent is. Maybe a genius director today will become the culprit of your box office collapse tomorrow.

The assembly line mode also puts an end to the explosion of inspiration and serious routines.

The reason why Li Xianyun's company has a high rate of return is because he is hanging. Without the help of those ghost treasures, he would definitely be dead to do this.

But if Yisheng Media continues to go this way, even if it has good special effects, it will eventually fail.

The above three reasons make Li Xianyun have to separate the technical department from Yisheng Film and Television as soon as possible and become an independent studio in the form of an industrial assembly line.

No pop-ups
