Chapter 458 "Wall-E Robot" (fifth update, please order)

"The Truman Show" was soaring all the way amidst the discussions and heated discussions.

But Li Yi didn't pay too much attention.

For him, the performance of the movie after its release is a matter for the audience, whether everyone likes it or not, anyway, the movie is finished.

Star animation!

The cast of "Wall-E" has swelled to outrageous size.

The manpower and material resources consumed are the most in domestic animation films!

During this year, the "Robot Wall-E" project team has been working almost every day.

Even compared to other big animation movies, you need to start from scratch, with Li Yi's help, you can directly finalize the images, expressions, movements, etc. of most of the characters in this movie.

But this is still a huge project!

For Xingman, this year is extremely busy and crucial.

All the people involved in this project, have boundless enthusiasm.

The production of animated films is completely different from the production of live-action films.

Compared with the shooting of live-action movies, the production of animated movies is undoubtedly boring.

Because they need to do a huge amount of repetitive tedious work!
Of course, during this year, those who participated in the production of this animation film have definitely made great progress.

Now, it's finally time to be put to the test.

In fact, during this year, Li Yi rarely came here except for the first few months.

Because he doesn't understand animation production, he feels that what he can give them guidance has been done in those few months.

Of course, Li Yi often watches some of the effects they produced remotely, so he still knows the progress of "Wall-E"!

In fact, the biggest reason why the animation film production cycle is so long is that the preparatory work in the early stage is very, very complicated.

In particular, finalizing the image design, action design, expression design, etc. of all characters is the most time-consuming and labor-intensive.

If it is to let the people of Starman start from scratch and make such an animated film from scratch, two years, three years, or even four or five years may not be enough.

As mentioned above, it is not a technical problem, but an artistic aesthetic problem.

To make a good animated film is not only about telling a story, but also about every detail.

Even sometimes, because of an expression or an action, they will be revised many times.

And the most difficult point is whether these actions and expressions are effective?

This is the most difficult to judge!
What is most lacking in China is not technical talents, but talents with both technical and artistic aesthetics.

Fortunately, Li Yi's opening and hanging perfectly solved the biggest shortcoming.

Because Li Yi can directly draw the picture he wants and tell them what effect they should achieve.
During those few months, Li Yi drew hundreds of drawings, including not only the character's image design, action design, but also the reproduction of many scenes.

This saved too much time for Xingman to produce this animated film.

For the shooting of live-action movies, if the shooting is not good, just make another one.

However, if the production of an animated film goes wrong, especially if there is a problem with the direction, it will consume a huge amount of time, manpower and material resources!

However, even so, "Robot Wall-E" is only partially completed so far.

Li Yi came to see their achievements today.

After watching this completed thirty-plus minute segment.

Although there is still some gap with the "Robot Wall-E" in Li Yi's memory, it has exceeded Li Yi's expectations.

At least on the whole, Li Yi is quite satisfied.

However, Zhang Haiyang and others looked at Li Yi anxiously.

After all, for more than half a year, Li Yi can be said to be asking money for money, people for people, machines for machines, and foreign aid for foreign aid.

It can be said that all that can be given is enough.

And for this animated movie, they also have great expectations.

After all, this is the first animated film since Starman changed ownership. If it fails, the result can be imagined.

Because with the same money, Li Yi can find a better company to make this animated film.

"Overall, it's not bad. Except for some details that need to be adjusted, everything else is very good! By the way, how long will it take to finish?" Li Yi nodded and said with a smile.

Zhang Haiyang and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"This." Zhang Haiyang hesitated.

"What? What's the problem?" Li Yi was also a little confused.

"Director Li, can you give us some advice? If we have your advice, we are confident that we can finish this movie within this year!" Zhang Haiyang finally said.

In fact, the director and screenwriter of this movie still bear Li Yi's name!
But Li Yi is actually not very competent as a director, because under normal circumstances, directors of animated films also have to follow up and guide at any time.

But after a few months of following Li Yi, he directly left all the work to Zhang Haiyang.

Although Zhang Haiyang also produced "Children's Heart Ocean", but that movie failed, so Zhang Haiyang still lacks confidence in his bones.

And this movie has cost nearly [-] million U.S. dollars so far.

The pressure on Zhang Haiyang was also enormous.

He couldn't imagine that if he failed again, would he still have the confidence to stay in this industry.

Li Yi touched his nose, and to be honest, this matter was indeed his fault.

"Ahem, Mr. Zhang, as you know, the production cycle of animated films is very long. I can't watch them all the time. Next, I will follow up for a while, but I hope this is the last time. If every An animated movie requires me to watch it all the time." Li Yi shook his head.

He was telling the truth, he gave the script, and he decided on the draft of the character image design.

The production cycle of an animated film is calculated in years, and it is impossible for Li Yi to concentrate on this.

Therefore, Zhang Haiyang also understood what he meant.

However, Li Yi can understand Zhang Haiyang's difficulties. His pressure must be greater than his own, and before he succeeds, he is still a loser. It is understandable that he has no confidence.

In the following time, "The Truman Show" made great strides, and the box office even directly surpassed two billion. Although there was still some distance from three billion, it was shocking enough.

After all, this is a literary film, and it turned out to be such a hit.

But Li Yi started to guide "Wall-E" from time to time in Xingman. Of course, he was more concerned with the results and made requests.

He doesn't know how to do it, and he can't do it himself.

However, sometimes, Li Yi is not easy to express, so he will draw the picture in his mind directly.

With Li Yi's joining, the progress of "Wall-E" has been significantly accelerated.

It can be said that there is a backbone. Although this movie was also named as Li Yi's work before, in fact, everyone has no idea.

But now it's completely different!
