Chapter 390 Animated Movies
Starman Animation, after being acquired by Li Yi, released the hit "Things About That Rabbit That Year"!
After that, Li Yi intervened less.

Of course, it is impossible for Xingman Animation to make only one animation. Later, Xingman Animation won the animation adaptation rights of many popular online novels.

At present, the business of Xingman Animation can be roughly divided into three aspects.

One is an original animation like "Those Things That Rabbit That Year".

One is an anime series adapted from a web novel.

There is also a younger anime series.

What's interesting is that among the three, the most profitable one is not "Things About That Rabbit That Year", nor is it an anime adaptation of an online novel, but a younger-age anime series.

Because this kind of animation series is very stable and low-cost, the key point is that as long as there are no accidents, it can almost continue to be done.

At present, Xingman Animation has already got out of the predicament, and holds the explosive IP "Those Things That Rabbit That Year", as well as the launch of younger animation series, which made Xingman start to make money every day .

And the development of copyright derivatives has also been done, such as games, such as peripherals, these are the most profitable places for Xingman.

But Zhang Haiyang was not so happy.

Because, his dream has always been to make animated films!

However, the failure of the earlier "Children's Heart Ocean" made Zhang Haiyang's ambition directly aborted.

But he still hopes that one day he can set sail again and make a real animation movie.

Because at this moment in Huaguo, don't look at the movie market full of flowers, the blockbuster movies are one after another, and the box office of the movie market is growing explosively every year.

But what is embarrassing is that the proportion of animated films in the box office of Huaguo's film market is still pitifully low.

Not only domestic animated films, but even foreign animated films rarely get any good results.

In fact, it's not that domestically produced animated films are not popular, but almost all of those films are low-level films.

It is based on the accumulated popularity, in fact, Starman is also doing this, because this kind of animation film has low investment cost, but it is often because of the accumulated popularity, so, generally speaking, it is not profitable. Compensation business.

But such a movie, in Zhang Haiyang's opinion, is not an animated movie at all.

In this regard, the gap between Huaguo and Hollywood is still very large, even bigger than the gap between the movies themselves.

It’s not that the people of Huaguo can’t make animated movies well, but the real big animation movies have obvious disadvantages, that is, the investment is large, but the cycle is very long. When other movies can make money, who would want to Take out a large sum of money to invest in animated films?
Li Yi hasn't come to Xingman Animation for a long time, and the current Xingman Animation is completely different from when he first bought it.

Among other things, the scale alone has expanded several times.

Zhang Haiyang was looking forward to Li Yi's arrival.

Because Li Yi generally really does not go to the Three Treasures Hall if there is nothing to do, and basically does not come if there is nothing to do!
Under Zhang Haiyang's leadership, Li Yi visited Starman Animation and came to Zhang Haiyang's office.

"Mr. Zhang, I want to know how long it will take Xingman to make an animation film like "Children's Heart Ocean"?" Li Yi asked straight to the point.

Zhang Haiyang was a little excited when he heard the words, but he suppressed his excitement, thought for a while and said, "Dr. Li, animated films, especially 3D animated films, let me put it this way, 3D animated films like "Children's Heart Ocean" If it is a sequel with a perfect script, then we should be able to produce it in two years, because many things can be reused, and there is no need to spend a lot of time on remodeling, but if it is an original 3D animation movie If not, it’s hard to say.”

Li Yi was a little silent when he heard the words, because to be honest, he knew nothing about the production of animated films. The content about animated films triggered by watching the short film before gave Li Yi the idea of ​​wanting to make that animated film.

But for an animated film like "Children's Heart Ocean", even if it is a sequel, it will take two years. Li Yi estimates that his own film may at least double the time to see if it can be produced.

"Can you shorten the production time?" Li Yi asked again.

In fact, he can cooperate with the top animation studios in North America to produce it, but in that case, even if it is produced, it will still be a Hollywood movie.

"Yes!" Zhang Haiyang was not only not discouraged, but rather excited.

Because Li Yi asked this, he obviously had the idea of ​​making a big animation movie.

And it's not the kind of animated movie currently on the market, but a big animated movie in the true sense!
"Tell me! If I want to make a brand new 3D animation movie, even if the quality cannot be compared with the animation movies produced by Hollywood's top animation studios, but it can't be too different, how long will it take? Can it be done? ?" Li Yi asked.

Zhang Haiyang pondered for a moment and said: "In fact, our biggest problem is that there are too few animation production technicians, and for a large 3D animation film, if we want to shorten the production cycle and ensure quality and quantity, we must technical team to complete it!"

"So, if we want to shorten the production cycle of animation films, we need talents first, a lot of talents! Although our company has a lot of people, it is absolutely impossible to support the production of a big 3D animation film!"

"If we want to produce high-quality animated films, we need to assemble a large number of animation production technicians, which requires a lot of funds and equipment. And even if this is the case, to be honest, if we want to do Hollywood's top animation work The quality of the studio's works is still impossible! At least not at this stage!"

Zhang Haiyang also gave Li Yi a general introduction to the process of making 3D animation movies.

Anyway, Li Yi was confused when he heard it.

To say a thousand words and ten thousand, in fact, Li Yi heard one meaning, that is, at this stage, it is not realistic to want to produce works that are comparable to Hollywood's top animation studios, but if there is enough funds, it is still possible to produce Works of a lower grade come.

"Director Li, please give us another chance!" Zhang Haiyang didn't want to let go of such an opportunity, so he looked at Li Yi hopefully.

"Let's not talk about the movie. Take a look at this and see how long it takes to make it! It's a... well, it's a test!" Li Yi took out a piece of paper with a short film script on it.

Zhang Haiyang took it.

looked up.

Soon Zhang Haiyang raised his head, looked at Li Yi and said, "Dr. Li wants to make a 3D short film?"

Li Yi nodded. Speaking of which, recently Li Yi discovered that he can often remember some works about robots.

This short video is one of them!
