Chapter 21 Is the money so good?

The significant improvement in hardware configuration brings huge productivity improvements.

After the ‘Dimension’ system has a powerful carrier, it performs better. The most straightforward manifestation is that the efficiency is greatly improved when performing intelligent calculations.

Before, Fan Zhe was actually very worried about whether he could get the reset version of "The Full-Time Master" before deadline arrived. He could work hard, but the computer performance is here. It takes a lot of time to make a feature film. It takes a lot of time to calculate the "dimensionality". With the previous broken notebook, it is still a question mark.

Now, the shotgun is replaced! Van Zhe is full of confidence.

Like a chicken blood, he continued to devote himself to his work.

At present, most of the original paintings and scene designs of "Full Time" have been completed, and the work of Fan Zhe and Mile has been devoted to the drawing of keyframes.

The process of producing CG animation and 2D animation in ‘Dimension’ is slightly different.

The production of CG animation requires a series of steps such as "dimensionality" to complete a "schedule" modeling calculation, action design calculation, light and shadow calculation, and material calculation, and finally combine the semi-finished project files and then render them.

In the meantime, modeling calculations require original painting design, while subsequent work requires a large number of illustration-level storyboards and some text descriptions. These things play a guiding role in the intelligent calculation of the "dimensionality".

But it's different to make anime.

During the production of 2D anime, Fan Zhe needed to draw key images, import them into the ‘dimensionality’, and then directly calculate the content between the key images from the ‘dimensionality’, and then complete the contents of the key images by themselves. There is no need to render them in the future, and the finished product will be produced directly.

This is a bit like traditional animation production, and it is actually similar in essence.

The production of traditional animation is usually done by an excellent main beauty animator to design keyframes in the animation, and then the assistant to draw the intermediate frames.

Here, in general animation, there are many labor-saving ways.

For example, some animations, when the character is talking, just the mouth is moving. Even some voiceovers, mid-tone sounds, the picture is simply still, and the movement is not driven.

The famous EVA, in a certain episode, a certain picture was simply frozen for 64 seconds, saving countless funds, and also recorded in the animated history; in a certain animation, known as the "Memories Ninja", the later memory plot, can spend most of the time in an episode putting out the things I have let go of before.

Such means save effort, time and key funds.

This question does not directly determine the quality of a work, but no matter what, it is inevitable that it will cost to do so. It is inevitable that the reputation will decline and people will complain about it.

Such problems almost or rarely occur in some two-dimensional animation movies that need to be released in cinemas.

This itself is a manifestation of well-made products.

In the 'dimension', problems similar to the above cannot exist.

The powerful calculation ability of the 'dimensionality' completely replaces the work of the intermediate assistant, and this method is not used to save money.

If it is just this, the "dimensionality" is not very great, but the most terrifying thing about it is that its calculation ability even replaces the work of the master beauty to a certain extent.

Fan Zhe only needs to import a small number of key images of large-scene transformation, and all other processes can be left to the 'dimension' to solve.

In general animation works, a fierce and exciting battle scene must be the big part of the workload. With a large number of actions and changes, it means that a large number of key pictures need to be drawn, and the completion of the middle picture also requires a lot of manpower to complete it.

But under the calculation of "dimensionality", only one or two pictures are needed, and the characters in it have scenes, that is enough. All combat actions, "dimensionality" can be successfully completed according to the previously imported text description.

This saves a lot of effort.

However, although the workload is much less than normal, since Fan Zhe and Mile only have two people, the workload shared is still very large.

Fortunately, I and Mile can draw one while drawing one. After drawing one, I will import one into the 'dimensional' system, and the two tasks will be carried out at the same time. Moreover, the keyframe accuracy required for animation is completely different from the illustrations of the large amount of refinement and fine material expression required by CG animation production. Otherwise, Fan Zhe and Mile will never finish drawing it.

...

Before we knew it, it was late July, and the entire animation project was almost completed.

With the powerful functions of dimensions, 2D animation production is much simpler and much faster than CG animation.

At present, it is still accumulated in the "dimension", and there are not many parts waiting for calculation, and Fan Zhe doesn't have to worry about other key pictures that have not been finished yet, as Mile is doing it.

What Fan Zhe needs to start thinking about now is the follow-up issue of this project.

Good wine is not afraid of being deep alleys. This is true, but in this era, it may not be quite applicable.

The quality of a work determines the upper limit of the work, but if the publicity is not enough, the lower limit may be infinitely low.

Finding a company and doing some marketing may be a better choice.

Fan Zhe has passed the second episode. He will not naively feel that as long as he has done the quality of his works and uploaded them to the Internet, he can kill all directions and shake the animation world.

It's not completely impossible, but at the same time, there is a high probability that after throwing it into the sea of ​​the Internet, it will sink to the bottom of the sea if it can't be smashed.

It is possible that as time settles, the work will eventually rise. But what Fan Zhe hopes is that the work will become popular quickly and cause a response within a certain range, which will eventually affect the attention of the copyright owner of "The Full-Time Master" and grab the production rights.

Wait for time to settle... Don't let Fan Zhe sink into the sea by then.

But after contacting several online marketing companies, inquiring and consulting about prices, he couldn't help but ask about life: "Is money so easy to make?"

After knowing what Fan Zhe was going to do, he was talking about astronomical numbers, which scared him away directly.

What does it cost to forward a large Weibo account to 100,000 yuan, how much does it cost to post an article on a V-Xien official account? Anyway, Fan Zhe calculated it, but he couldn't afford it.

But publicity is always something to do. He doesn’t have the resources in this area, so he can only find someone to do it.

Of course, it is impossible for people to say whatever they say. Fan Zhe couldn't afford it and was unwilling to be the sucker.

He has to choose some more suitable and economical solutions.

In a few days, Fan Zhe discussed with an online public relations company and signed an agreement. After carefully discussing the publicity plan, he offered him a price of 100,000 yuan. Compared with those big battles, he was just a small fight.

Related publicity will be roughly divided into two steps.

The first step, which is to warm up, will begin in the near future.

Fan Zhe will release several silent clips of completed animations, and spread them to the Internet in the name of "flow and publishing", so that he can create a wave of momentum first...
Chapter completed!
