my animation era

Chapter 337 Online meeting (for subscription)
Fandom is a double-edged sword.

The advantage is that the harvest is guaranteed in drought and flood, as long as the die-hard fans are satisfied, there is no need to worry about making money.The shortcomings are also obvious, if the diehard fans are not satisfied, then send it.

Gu Miao had no choice.

Fans should be fans, after all, it is the first animation film, the main thing is to accumulate experience, and then jump out of the framework of fans in the future.

Filmmaking takes time and effort.

In particular, "Snake Comes Around" is an animated film that is mainly 2D and mixed with some 3D shots, which is more troublesome to produce.

Do not misunderstand!
It's not that Gu Miao thinks the progress is slow, he just thinks that the production process is cumbersome, and there are too many details that need to be carefully considered, which is too brain-intensive.

Take a simple example.

In the movie "Snake Comes Around", there are many new scenes that have never appeared in TV animation, including the Yangcun Library.

OK!

It's just a new scene, let's draw!
But for this simple library scene, do you know how many lines you need to draw?

The answer is, hundreds of them!
Because animated films are different from TV animations, we must strive for excellence in details.So even if it is a 30-second scene, it takes a lot of time to refine and ponder.

What is the door of the library like?
What books are on the shelf?
What kind of decoration should be used for the roof, floor and wall of the library?
Then there are five views!

When it comes to "five views", many people may be confused.But this is actually a key step in the design of character modeling in the animation production process.

Of course, scene design is also useful.

The so-called five-view refers to images of scenes, characters or props from five different perspectives.The five viewing angles are main view, top view, left view, right view and rear view.

what?
There are left, rear and right, why not the front?

Because the front view, that is, the front view, is generally called the front view, or "front view" according to geometry.

The whole process is tedious and boring...

Many anime fans probably feel that the process of making animation is a very relaxed and enjoyable thing.

But in fact it is not the case.

Perhaps at the beginning, at the beginning of planning and approval, everyone had a great "creative passion" for this project.At this stage, everyone is really enthusiastic and lively.

But over time.

The long, boring and tedious work that lasts for several months or even years will exhaust this creative passion, and the rest is a kind of "tiredness".

This is very common in the field of artistic creation.

Taking novel creation as an example, the author came up with a good idea, such as the protagonist getting the Shenhao system, jumping from a low-level youth to a winner in life...

When I first started creating, the kind of creative passion should not be too surging!When writing exciting plots, I will also get excited, wishing to spend 24 hours a day in front of the computer and type.

available over time.

When this novel is serialized to 50 words, 100 million words, or even a longer stage.When the creative passion fades away, it enters the "torture stage".

A cup of tea, a pack of cigarettes, 2000 words a day!
Why is that?
Because the original creative passion has been worn away by time.As I wrote and wrote, my own people became numb.

The same goes for animation creation.

This problem was not particularly obvious in other projects before.Because other projects will be finished in half a year at most, and it hasn't been delayed for too long.

However, the project of the movie "Snake Comes Around" has lasted for almost a year. For everyone in the production team, this is an extremely long time.

the first few months.

When Gu Miao called for a meeting to discuss some plot development, story line and character setting, everyone was still very enthusiastic, and the discussion was extremely intense with each other.

How is it now...

During the meeting, everyone drooped their heads, you stared at the ceiling in a daze, and he was counting the teacups on the table, and he was not energetic anyway.

How can this work?
Gu Miao understood that the main reason why everyone became like this was that they lost their original enthusiasm for creation and became numb.

If we want to change this "dead life" status quo, we must regain everyone's enthusiasm for the "Snake Comes Around" project.

The question is, how to do it?

Gu Miao thought of many ways, such as giving everyone a holiday, going to the screening room to watch the animation of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" together to relax.

Play small games, Cosplay...

After exhausting all kinds of methods, everyone still has no enthusiasm.Just when Gu Miao was feeling at a loss for this, Ma Kui who was passing by made a suggestion.

"To be honest, these methods are useless! If you want to arouse everyone's creative enthusiasm, you have to get them out of the office and communicate with fans face to face..."

"Let fans motivate everyone?"

Hearing this suggestion, Gu Miao's eyes lit up.

I have to say that Ma Kui made a good suggestion.Let the fans who are looking forward to this movie come to inject passion and motivation into the tired production team, it's amazing!

But how to do it?
"Hold a meeting! If the time is not easy to arrange, then put it online! Have a face-to-face exchange and questioning session similar to a webcast."

"Okay, listen to you!"

Gu Miao made a final decision.

Ma Kui's proposal was very constructive. Gu Miao, who felt that this method was feasible, quickly found the operation and maintenance personnel of Wanbao Video and Wanbao official website.

soon……

Wanbao's official website, Wanbao Video and LIVE all put up promotional posters, indicating that the production team of the movie "Snake Comes Around" will hold an online live meeting at 8:8 p.m. on August 8th.

At that time, a batch of high-quality questions will be selected in the live broadcast room, and the production team will answer them.

At the same time, there will be a few lucky viewers who will get the opportunity to "connect with the mic" and talk about their thoughts and suggestions to the production team.

In the live broadcast room, lucky viewers will also be selected to get a gift pack of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" clay dolls presented by Wanbao Animation.

"Action is worse than heartbeat!"

"My name is Gu Sanshui. I'll be waiting for you in the live broadcast room. If you are a brother, come watch my live broadcast! See you at 8 pm on August 8th!"

Good guy!
In order to attract as many fans as possible to pay attention to this matter, Gu Miao, who has always been low-key and introverted, also made an extremely rare promotional video in person this time.

not to mention...

As expected of Gu Sanshui, Gu Sanshui's status as the only top producer of domestic animation is indeed unshakable.

As soon as the video was released, both Sanshui powder and Sanshui black attracted people.

Fans want to know more about the inside story of the "Snake Comes Around" project, as well as the progress of film production, and even want to prostitute clay dolls for free.

The black fan wanted to take the opportunity to take Lianmai, and then severely criticized Gu Maggot, and finally said: "Gu Sanshui, you are a ****, don't let me see you on Jiangchuan Street!"

Regardless of whether you are a black fan or a fan, in short, everyone is very interested in this very special "online meeting".
