my crew is not human

Chapter 632 Animation Development
Today Dong Zixin and Li Feng came to look for Li Xianyun.

It was noisy.

It was mainly about the issue of Mengxin Film and Television, and the two had huge opinions.

Sitting behind the desk, Li Xianyun looked at the two couples with a headache. He couldn't figure out whether they were in a state of separation or in a state of unity. He only knew that the troubles from the people around him were actually the most troublesome.

At this moment Li Xianyun said: "And why?"

Li Feng said unhappily, "Zixin wants to make a big ghost movie."

"Good thing, isn't there such a plan?" Li Xianyun asked.

The Ghost Treasure series used to be animated feature films, and six or seven of them have been released, all of which are best sellers. This time, Dong Zixin means that this IP has been launched, and now the production of animated films can be officially launched.

Li Feng said: "The problem is the production method. What Zixin means is computer-based three-dimensional production, but Sudden Death Ghost can't help in this regard, so I object."

It turned out to be the case.

Animated films are more slow-worked and meticulously produced than high-quality blockbusters. It is normal for a good animation to be produced for three to five years, and it will be available in ten years-you have not seen Wukong, White Snake, Nezha, which ones have not been produced for many years. ?

The problem is that Yisheng Studio can't play a role in this aspect. Sudden Death Ghost can only move, but not create.

And with Li Xianyun's style, it is a typical "fine work is a must, slow work is never acceptable".

So what Li Feng meant was that instead of doing computer animation for the Ghost Treasure movie, stop-motion animation should be done.

Speaking of animation, there are many categories. Before computer [-]D animation, there was ink animation. Some classic animations in the past such as "Little Tadpole Looking for Mom" ​​were of this type. There was stop-motion animation. In this category, the director is Travis Knight who will go home and inherit the wealth of the Nike industry if he can’t do a good job as a director. Later, he directed "Bumblebee"; under the stop motion animation, there are clay animation, puppet animation, etc. Anyway, It is to pose the real objects in concave shapes one by one and shoot one by one.

What Li Feng meant was to do stop-motion animation—as expected, the rich second-generation directors all have the same idea, and even their life trajectories are very close!

Stop-motion animation requires the production of a large number of models, and then constantly moving them, shooting frame by frame, and finally forming a picture through continuous playback.

This is not in line with the current mainstream. After all, the art level of stop-motion animation is far inferior to that of computer animation, and the production is time-consuming and laborious.

But it takes time for others, but for Yisheng Media, it is not time-consuming at all.

All the models can be solved easily; as for making the models move, isn't that what Peeves is good at?

As for behind the scenes, the brats can handle it.

Therefore, the production of stop-motion animation can really be done without people at all, it is a pure ghost crew.

In this way, as long as the script comes out and the model comes out, it will be done quickly.

But Dong Zixin didn't like it.

Because the restrictions on the model are too great, it is almost impossible for you to make a flowing cloak like Wukong.

Dong Zixin has artistic pursuits, and the director's artistic pursuits are almost inseparable from the picture and aesthetics.

Stop-motion animation is too restrictive in terms of aesthetics, and "Legend of the Magic String" is almost the pinnacle of top-motion animation aesthetics, but compared with 3D animations such as White Snake Wukong Nezha, there is still too much gap, which is an inherent limitation.

There are some scenes that you can’t even make flowers in stop-motion animation.

In addition, the two also have different opinions on business strategy.

Dong Zixin wanted Mengxin Film and Television to be the main movie, even animation should be the main movie, but Li Feng thought that after the stop-motion animation, the original production staff of Yisheng Animation would not be able to play a role, so he would continue to make animated feature films in the future. Series, so many brats, come one by one.

So what Li Feng meant was that Mengxin Film and Television would go for both movie and TV, while Dong Zixin would only go for movie.

There are huge differences between the two sides in terms of company management, movie style, etc. They are all directors, and they are ex-boyfriends. No one is afraid of anyone. The result is that they quarrel all the way, and finally come to Li Xianyun.

At this moment, Dong Zixin directly said to Li Xianyun: "I know that making stop-motion animation can save money, but the facts have long proved that blockbusters are the core of profitability! Yisheng Media is no longer just relying on box office for food, we also have a lot of money. Peripheral needs."

Li Feng's weak interface: "Stop-motion animation can also show peripherals."

Dong Zixin didn't reason with Li Feng, and said directly: "Shut up!"

Li Feng sat beside him with his head downcast.

Dong Zixin continued: "Only if it sells well, the peripherals are meaningful! And if you want to sell well, you need to make high-quality goods."

"The problem is that according to this number, it will take at least four or five years!" Li Xianyun said.

Dong Zixin was dumbfounded.

Yes, the current high-quality and large-scale animations cannot survive in four or five years.

With Li Xianyun's style and requirements, if a film cannot be released after two years of production, he will start scolding "you are all trash".

This kind of ultra-long standby time in four or five years will never be accepted by Li Xianyun.

Dong Zixin was helpless: "But stop-motion animation is really not popular now, we can't just save money."

"But if you make a hologram, there is no problem." Li Xianyun replied.

holographic?

Dong Zixin and Li Feng were stunned at the same time.

Dong Zixin asked anxiously: "Can the holographic movie come out?"

Li Xianyun smiled slightly: "Soon."

Hearing this, Dong Zixin thought for a while: "But it will take a long time to produce and promote the equipment, right?"

Li Xianyun said lightly: "I won't allow that long, don't worry, it can be fully resolved within two years. As for the shooting issue, don't worry, it will be resolved soon."

Dong Zixin and Li Feng looked at each other.

Li Feng said excitedly: "If it is a stop-motion animation, with Pippi and Chili, one can be completed in at most three months."

Li Xianyun hummed: "You can make more scripts first, and after the holographic project is completed, you can shoot more at once."

With holographic support, there is no problem shooting stop-motion animation. Dong Zixin couldn't say anything, so she could only say: "But I still hope that Mengxin will be the main movie."

Li Xianyun said: "I have no objection to Mengxin's main movie. After Yisheng Pictures' financing, it will be listed in the future, and some things will be separated. It is a good thing to develop Mengxin, and it can be regarded as a substitute. But the IP of the Ghost Treasure series cannot Interrupted, so at this stage, in addition to being a pet agent team, Mengxin can first make a feature film for a period of time, and when the holographic plan is completed, after Yisheng Pictures goes public, it will be no problem for you to focus on movies."

Dong Zixin knew what Li Xianyun said was reasonable, and said angrily, "So you support Li Feng in general."

I'll go, I'll reason with you, you tell me your position?

Li Xianyun thought for a while and said: "This is your problem, Zixin. You have always been unwilling to engage in management, but you always want to be the master. How can there be so many good things in the world? If you want to be the master, you have to learn Management, think about problems from the manager's point of view."

For a long time, although Dong Zixin has the awareness of management, she has no management thinking. In some respects, she is a bit willful.

But this time, Dong Zixin felt that what Li Xianyun said was right.

It's not that Li Xianyun doesn't support you, but that you never thought about how to think about the problem from the perspective of an excellent manager from the very beginning.

As a director of the company, he is only responsible for responsibility and not for overall consideration. Li Xianyun is already very tolerant of himself.

Dong Zixin is no longer the fledgling girl back then, she finally nodded and said: "I know, I will try my best to make Mengxin Film and Television a success."

Li Xianyun smiled: "Very well, it's easy to handle if you have this thought."

Director is also a management job. It's not that Dong Zixin is incompetent, it's just that she didn't have the will before.

Now I was stimulated by my boyfriend who was not in the past and not in the present, and I lost the battle, and I finally started to become an excellent manager with high spirits.

No matter what you work hard for, at least the result is good.
