Chapter 10 New Projects
On the phone, Fan Zhe could clearly feel that Gao Yixiang was not in a good mood over there, but he didn't ask much.
There was only a cooperative relationship between him and Gao Yixiang. The two didn't know each other before, and Fan Zhe was not the kind of person who likes to meddle in other people's business.
If someone is in a bad mood, as long as it is not because of yourself, why bother to worry too much?
It is more important to care more about your own affairs. For example, he is now looking forward to the 60% of the money that Gao Yixiang said could be settled in advance.
According to his agreement with the "Giant God Game", the overall price of this project is RMB 550,000.
Just by this price, if you look at the market average, you can just make a short film with a special effect of 50 cents.
The top-level video effects animations, not about Pixar's American, Square's Final Fantasy movies, nor about the starting animation level like Yamaguchi Yamaguchi. Even if the level drops further, the production cost per second is calculated in millions of dollars. Just post-production rendering is an expensive and time-consuming task.
According to the initial budget of 450,000 yuan for the "Giant God Game", if you want to make a two-minute animation, the final effect will be very average.
Although Fan Zhe's making this trick will definitely not reach the level that the top companies in the industry can make with the maximum investment.
It’s not that ‘dimension’ cannot be achieved, but that the time is too short and the staff is too small.
But despite this, the overall level of appearance must be very good. It is not an exaggeration to brag about the movie level. Anyway, it is definitely much better than what the "Giant God" expected at the beginning.
Put it outside, the market price of the animation at the beginning of these two minutes has to be several times higher.
This is not the first time that Fan Zhe has tried the waters in this industry. If he is short of money, he will definitely not be so cheap.
Fortunately, as a qualified middleman, Lu Yuxiang played his role in the end. When he talked to the "Giant God Game", he had a bit of a big talk. In short, he set the final offer at 550,000, which was much more than the Giant God's budget at the beginning.
In any case, the work has been done now, and it is meaningless to worry about these things. The 60% payment settled in advance is over 300,000 yuan. Getting this money will inevitably solve some of Fan Zhe’s current urgent needs.
For example, pay off your debts; for example, hurry up and change to a better machine. If you can't afford a server worth millions, it's not as good as building a mobile workstation. Fan Zhe has had enough of his personal laptop.
Of course, it is too early to think about this. When the money is obtained, it will be more appropriate to study how to spend it.
What's more, he had to pay off Mile's salary first. It's still unknown how much he could be left in his own pocket.
Putting away these thoughts, Fan Zhe's attention returned to the page he was visiting.
Before, after finishing the opening animation of "Assassination Squad" and delivering it to render it, he was idle.
People cannot stay idle, especially when they are still in debt.
The animation has been delivered to Rendering Farm, and the next thing has basically nothing to do with him. Now, the sunshine needs to be a little longer, and at least start thinking about his next job.
Previously, he had a call with Lu Yuxiang. In addition to confirming the intermediary commission for the opening animation of the "Giant God Game" and then paying for the entire project funds before settlement, he also asked Lu Yuxiang if there were any other similar jobs.
Unfortunately, the answer given by Lu Yuxiang is no. Lao Lu is not a full-time job in this area. Although he has this ambition, his connections have not yet been developed. This outsourcing project of "Gian God Game" is also a coincidence.
However, he also promised that if he had related projects, he would definitely contact Fan Zhe as soon as possible.
Lao Lu's path is temporarily out of reach, so Fan Zhe can only think of other ways.
So, while wandering around the Internet, he saw the special animation of "The All-Time Master".
Fan Zhe has always been fascinated by novels, movies, animations and other things. Especially after work, the only entertainment that he has in his busy life is the only thing he has.
Once upon a time, he liked the novel "The Master of All Time", so when the animated version was released later, he did follow and read a paragraph.
I have to say that according to the domestic anime production level, the production level of "The Full-Time Master" season 1 is still very good, and it has been very popular for a while. But in his opinion, this is far from enough. At least the animation is not enough to show his fantasy about the world of "The Full-Time Master".
In April and May, the special chapter of "The Master of All-Time" was released. At that time, Fan Zhe had not paid much attention to it, so he only saw it when he was wandering around the Internet today.
He clicked and glanced at him, and Fan Zhe frowned - the style of this painting is quite similar to the first season, but there are many details and many designs, which are obviously different.
A vague thought arose in his mind. He searched for news about "The Full-Time Master" and found that his initial view was indeed correct: the copyright owner of "The Full-Time Master", namely Lewen Group, changed the producer of "The Full-Time Master". This special article was made by a new production company, and the second season will also be handed over to the new company.
Then, Fan Zhe saw a fight between the production company and the copyright owner on Weibo and forum.
Those companies have their own public relations and will not easily break up and end up in person. However, the big discussions between fans and the content revealed in the news made Fan Zhe see a good show and also smell the opportunity: it seems that there is a big conflict between Lewen Group and the new producer, and the two sides have the intention of not reaching an agreement and breaking up.
So, do you have the opportunity to be the producer of this second season?
The second season of "The Master of All Time" is scheduled to be next year, and it is early June. I don't know how to catch up.
Another problem is that although "The Master of All-Time" has some 3D to 2D technology applications, it is 2D animation in general.
Can 'dimension' be 2D?
It should be possible.
Van Zhe has not yet fully explored the function of 'dimension'. This system is very complicated and there is no tutorial. It took Van Zhe a long time to study how to use this thing.
Earlier, when exploring the function of "dimension", Fan Zhe had seen some functions related to 2D animation.
It seems that it is time to search in this huge treasure house again.
