Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 240
"Has everything been arranged?"

"Yes! They all live in the dormitory! They were so happy when they saw the environment!"

Although Cai Zhizhong is a good person, he still seems a bit condescending when facing people from the mainland.

It's no wonder that the mainland is so poor now. It's not just Cai Zhizhong or Wanwan people, or it can be said that as long as they are human beings, it is difficult to get rid of hating the poor and loving the rich.

It is human nature to be strong.

After Li Wannian treated the guests, he took several people to visit Shenlong Company, and then he stayed in the company. Lieutenant General Cai Zhi made arrangements for them before returning to the company.

"These people are important members of our next plan to go north. You have to take good care of them and don't mess around!"

After hearing Li Wannian's instructions, Cai Zhizhong quickly responded: "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely make them feel at home!"

"That's fine, if something goes wrong..."

"Then you are the only one asking me!"

Cai Zhizhong quickly issued a military order.

Li Wannian nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.

"First let them adapt to the company's environment and work rhythm. Once they are fully adapted, they can start making "Captain Soccer"!"

Upon hearing this, Cai Zhizhong's eyes suddenly lit up.

Due to his long-term management of the company, Cai Zhizhong now looks more and more like a businessman!

How can the artistic plot be as important as small money?
"Boss, don't worry, I treat them like family members!"

Seeing that enough had been said, Li Wannian stopped asking about the matter and asked about other things.

"What's going on with the theatrical version now? It's getting closer and closer to its official release!"

According to negotiations with theaters, the theatrical version of "Death" is finally scheduled to be released on Children's Day, June 6.

The reason why it is set at this time is, firstly, because it is a holiday and it is also a summer season, and secondly, because during this time period, there are no particularly competitive films at the same time.

After entering the 80s, Hong Kong's film industry developed rapidly, with a flood of excellent films every year.

This year is not even halfway through, and three movies have already grossed more than 500 million at the box office, namely "Modern Bodyguard", "The Brave Man" and "Happy Fairy Nest".

Among them, "Modern Bodyguard", a movie directed by the cold-faced comedian Xu Guanwen, even exceeded 1000 million at the box office, reaching more than 1700 million at the box office.

This year's box office champion was directly locked in advance!

If the theatrical version of "Death" meets this movie, it will definitely fail miserably!

"Don't worry, boss, the cutting has been completed! The final optimization is still being done!"

"Go, go and see!"

From last year's project establishment, to formal production, to this year's official completion, "Death" theatrical version truly embodies what Hong Kong Island speed is!

Of course, this is also the reason why Li Wannian spent a lot of money!

At present, 70% of Shenlong Company's production capacity has been invested in the production of the "Death" theatrical version, which shows how strong Li Wannian's support is!
Hearing that the boss wanted to inspect, Cai Zhizhong naturally agreed repeatedly!

When we came to the "Death" project team, there were about a hundred people working attentively.

Compared with later computer animation technology, the most difficult thing about today's traditional hand-drawn animation is that it requires a large amount of animation to be drawn.The so-called animation production process generally includes: styling, script, shot script, design draft, original painting, animation inspection, animation, tracing and coloring!

Due to the bug of Li Wannian, the theatrical version of Shenlong Animation can directly skip the first few stages and start production directly from the original painting!
The hardest part is the animation part.

The so-called animation is to draw the complete action on the original painting and draw the dynamic process between the beginning and the end. Otherwise, if only the original painting appears on the screen, the action will be stiff and sudden, lacking smooth transition.

The number of animation frames is also very particular. The most particular one is twelve frames per second, which means twelve frames of action must be drawn in one second, which is consistent with conventional visual habits.

Hollywood animated blockbusters have this precision. Generally, cartoons usually only have 6 or even 4 frames, and the movements are much stiffer than in animated blockbusters.

Shenlong Animation is currently unable to achieve such twelve frames per second. It is not that the technology cannot achieve it, but the cost is too high. The current neon market prospects are unclear. If the investment is too large, it will easily cause huge losses.

After all, animated films are too special. Not only do they have a relatively narrow audience, but they are also not favored by sponsors. Therefore, the pressure to recoup costs is huge. If costs are not controlled, they will lose money.

This is why animated films in Hong Kong have not developed well. The market is too small and the investment is large, so it is not favored by film companies at all.

If it weren't for the support of other markets, Li Wannian would not have dared to invest in this animated film.

Li Wannian came to an animator. After seeing Li Wannian, the animator quickly put down the pen in his hand and planned to stand up to greet Li Wannian, but was stopped by Li Wannian.

"It doesn't matter, you draw yours!"

Li Wannian put a hand on the man's shoulder and continued to ask: "What do you think of this movie?"

"It's great! I'm honored to be able to participate in such an excellent work!"

Looking at the young man's smile, Li Wannian knew that the other person's words came from the bottom of his heart!

This man spoke fluent Cantonese and looked like he was a recent graduate from Hong Kong. His eyes showed the clarity and stupidity unique to college students.

Li Wanchang patted the man's shoulder lightly and stopped disturbing him.

After looking around, Li Wannian left the area and stopped disturbing them.

Before leaving, Li Wannian whispered to Cai Zhizhong: "They have worked hard recently. I will take care of dinner for them. If you leave late, you can also reimburse the taxi fare!"

Upon hearing this, Cai Zhizhong said quickly: "Boss, it's so troublesome for you, just give them more money when the time comes!"

"What do you know? They get off work at six o'clock, and you arrange a free dinner at seven o'clock. Do you think they can eat it?"

"Of course it's to eat!"

"That's right. After dinner, it's almost eight o'clock. There is a taxi fare after ten o'clock. Do you think they will leave in a hurry?"

"This……"

At this moment, Cai Zhizhong suddenly realized.

He thought that the boss had a conscience and was considerate of his subordinates, but in fact he was deceiving these workers into working overtime for free!

Black, so dark!The dirty hearts of these capitalists are so dark!

No wonder people can make a lot of money!

Looking at Cai Zhizhong's shocked eyes, Li Wannian shook his head slightly and thought to himself: "I used to secretly scold capitalists on the Internet for their inhumanity, but now that I am the boss, I find that this method is really effective!"

All we can say is that the dragon-slaying boy finally turned into an evil dragon!
