Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 667 Animation

In the [-]th century, the Frenchman Paul Roquette first discovered the persistence of vision and made a photo disc, which is a disc that is passed between two sides by a rope or a wooden pole, and one side of the disc is painted. A bird, on the other side, draws an empty cage in which the bird emerges when the disc is spun, demonstrating that when the eye sees a series of images, it retains only one image at a time.

Three years later, another Frenchman put the drawn pictures in order in a hand-cranked box, and the disc was driven by the hand-cranked box to rotate at a low speed. There is an observation window, which can be used to watch the effect of moving pictures. When the machine is turned to a suitable speed by hand, the picture seems to move from the observation window. This is the prototype of the original animation .

What Sun Xiangfu said, he is also a high-achieving student of later generations, so he naturally doesn't play with such low-end things. After several improvements, the mechanism he designed can no longer be shaken by hand, but winds up like a pendulum clock. After that, the disc can be rotated continuously at a stable speed, and through this uninterrupted rotation, the audience can see tens of thousands of pictures rolled together in order from the viewing port, because , he repeatedly calculated a data, as long as 24 pictures are scrolled and displayed to everyone in the observation window every second, it looks very coherent and smooth as a whole. Calculated in this way, there are more than 1 pictures in 1000 minute That's all, but the tens of thousands of scrolled pictures in the camera can play a short animation that lasts about 8 minutes in a coherent manner.

Moreover, this short film is not just as simple as a silent scene, because Sun Xiangfu arranged for children to dub the characters in it, but their bodies are blocked by the decorations on both sides of the stage, and everyone cannot see them from the front. In addition, The musicians who surround the stage will also dub the corresponding soundtrack and scenes just like when Wangjianglou performed the stage play, and the children standing in the queue will also sing along with the interludes and so on, making the content look more vivid. Very rich. .

The eldest grandson Wuji's family sat in the front row of the stage for a while, and then more officials who had finished drawing family portraits rushed to the stage in the calligraphy and painting area to watch.

Seeing that the venue was almost full, Sun Xiangfu signaled everyone to be quiet, and reminded everyone not to be shocked by what they saw next, and after seeing it, everyone had to leave the venue to let more people who hadn’t seen it come to watch. It doesn't matter if people haven't watched enough, this thing will be played several times today, and it's okay to watch it again when there are fewer people in the meeting.

Seeing the animation player covered by the curtain, Li Ke, Li Yuanjing, Li Yuanchang and others were quite amazed. They have been living in Jiuyuan County, and they are not too unfamiliar with these things taught in the school. In the past, they temporarily served as the children's calligraphy, Chinese, and even music teachers. However, they did not expect that after only seeing each other for more than half a year, these children would learn these skills and apply them to this level.

As for the design and research of the so-called animation player, they actually knew a little bit. It was only in the research stage at that time, and they didn't expect it to be completed now.

"Jiuyuan baby's journey of discovery, the first episode, starts now."

With the shout of Yan Huan, the chief art instructor on the stage, the musicians around the stage played a very cheerful rhythm, and then, covered by the curtain on the small stage, it became a TV set only about [-] inches in size Inside the frame of the same window, the picture actually started to move.

"Wow!"

Surprised, astonished expressions, and the shouts of the children who had never seen such a thing before and couldn't control their emotions, suddenly sounded around the small stage. They completely forgot Sun Xiangfu's reminder just now, because, on the screen, , a large water steamer that can often be seen here in Jiuyuan County, sailing through the wind and waves, a flock of birds, flying over the bow, quickly switched to a few children wearing Jiuyuan County school uniforms, bumping into The pictures of all kinds of strange and even dangerous things were displayed in that frame, and at this time, the accompanying children also started singing.

"Thunder makes it rain, oh! It's raining, you need an umbrella, oh! It's cold and you wear a padded jacket, oh! Oops, I forgot! It's hot, fan, wisdom is, it's that simple."

The children's cheerful singing, interspersed with playful questions and answers, instantly sucked everyone's energy into this small framed screen. Seeing them all with their mouths wide open and motionless, grandson Xiangfu was a little afraid that they would forget to breathe and fall into a coma.

"Why thunder, why? Why is there winter and summer? It's a difficult problem. There are thousands of mysteries that I don't know. Wisdom is simple, but not simple..."

People in this era generally don’t know why there are thunder and lightning and the change of seasons. However, there are already clear explanations in the textbooks of Jiuyuan County School, but I have never studied in Jiuyuan County School. people, do not know ah!They were immediately attracted by the questions in the song. Could it be that in this moving picture, these puzzles should be solved?

After a while, the song ended and the content of the animation began. Naturally, Sun Xiangfu could not copy the original version of the advertising animation blockbuster "Haier Brothers" to tell the story, but the core idea he wanted to express was similar. That is to give you some popular science knowledge.

"Spring is here, the ice and snow begin to melt, the willows begin to sprout, and the frogs who have slept in the cave for a winter also slowly wake up and crawl out of their cave..."

With the explanation of the voiced child, in just ten seconds, we showed everyone a scene of ice and snow melting, willow trees sprouting, frogs coming out of their holes, jumping into the pond to swim, and a hundred flowers blooming around the pond.

Then, a few elementary school students from Jiuyuan County School went to school with their schoolbags on their backs, and talked about their dreams with each other. In the end, they formed a team called "Jiuyuan Baby", and they wanted to start a journey of exploration and find this In the world, answers to many questions that humans cannot explain.

After that, they secretly boarded the ship going out to sea, and the story of exploration officially unfolded.

In the animation, the cute girl Xiaozhen looks at the sea in the cabin, "Brother Xiaolong, why is the color of the sea getting darker?"

Xiaolong was about to answer, but Xiaoqi, who liked to play tricks, rushed to answer, "It's because I went to the deep sea."

Xiaozhen asked again, "Then why is the color of the deep sea dark, while the color of the shallow sea is light?"

At this time, Xiaoqi was stopped by the question, and Xiaolong finally answered, "In places where the sea is shallow, less sunlight is absorbed and more sunlight is reflected, so the color will naturally be lighter."

Xiaoqi was reminded by Xiaolong, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and took up the conversation again, "Oh, yes, yes, yes, the deep sea absorbs all the light and does not reflect it, so the color will naturally be darker!"

The similar tone is cute, and there are a lot of knowledge-intensive dialogues in the whole plot. Moreover, this episode also shows many sea creatures that you have never seen with your own eyes, such as whales, sharks, dolphins, etc. It has popularized a lot of biological knowledge to everyone, and at the same time, there are some plots running through.

They encountered pirates and wanted to rob their ship. However, because of the intervention of the big water ship of the Datang Navy, the crisis was saved. Moreover, the way the Navy rescued them was very clever. , separated the pirates' ship from theirs, and after being rescued, the wiser Xiaolong and Xiaoxia gave Xiaoqi and Xiaozhen an analysis of how the navy did it, so that everyone had some ideas about the word 'pressure'.

It's a pity that the whole story is over in just over 8 minutes. Everyone said that they didn't watch enough of it at all, and they all complained, can they watch it a little more.

"Hehe, everyone, don't complain any more. There are only eight kinds of animation shows, but our Jiuyuan County School's painting specialty students have achieved more than one year's achievements. Among them, we need to continuously improve the player. It is also necessary to constantly adjust the painting modification work of more than 1 coherent pictures, so that everyone's eyes can see it as an animated story that can move coherently.

The county school put it on the stage for everyone to watch today, not only to popularize some of the knowledge mentioned in this story, let everyone know the importance of it being applied to practical life, but also to show everyone that Jiuyuan County School has now mastered It is the result of what I call 'science and technology'. "

"Science and Technology?"

This word was repeated by many adults, while the ignorant children stared blankly at the frame on the stage, hoping that it would move again and let them see an interesting story.

When everyone was a little dazed, on the small stage, the children who had been hiding behind the set and the player to dub the cartoons came out and bowed to everyone.

At this time, Sun Xiangfu also took the lead in applauding, "Let's use warm applause to thank them for their wonderful performance, okay?"

With warm applause, everyone realized that this miraculous performance was performed by these children from Jiuyuan County. Immediately, some people who still had the ability to think were moved.

"Such miraculous things have come out, Zhengming, why didn't you tell me earlier." Changsun Wuji was naturally embarrassed to look at it again from his position, and pulled it over to persuade everyone to empty the venue so that more people could see it. Many people who have never seen this cartoon, said Sun Xiangfu, who can come close to the stage to watch this cartoon.

"In my eyes, it hasn't come out yet! There are still many areas that need to be improved and strengthened. At present, even if I tell you, the effect it can play is very small!"

"Here, the painting can move, and still needs improvement?"

"Of course, it needs to be made more stable, more accurate, simpler, and more durable. Don't you think that dozens of children, musicians, come to perform this show, but only two or three hundred people can see it clearly. Listen to its content, isn't it perfect?"

"It's already perfect. If the old man pushes it to Chang'an, His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor will be very happy to see it. The Spring Festival Gala will not be able to keep up. The Shangyuan Festival Gala, the Shangyuan Festival Gala must let them see it, and , this content is still too short, we need to put more."

Seeing how much the elder Sun Wuji has the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor, Sun Xiangfu knew that he would have such an idea, but he said with a bitter face, "The plot and story have been compiled a long time ago, and the player is easy to operate. For this animation, you should have heard me say that it took more than half a quarter of an hour to arrange and glue more than 1 drawn pictures in order. The current picture disk is already finished by the animation player. After graduation, all the painting specialties were painted in more than a month, and if you want to add such a long time, you need these hundreds of students to paint for more than a month to make a new picture board."

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji was a little disbelieving, and said, "There are more than 300 outstanding students in painting in Jiuyuan County School! Does each person only draw one painting a day? I saw it just now. They will be able to paint in less than a quarter of an hour. Help someone draw a full-body portrait, as well as a background!"

When Sun Xiangfu was exposed, he rubbed his nose in embarrassment and said, "Indeed, if they specialize in drawing, they can draw at least a dozen pictures a day. Under the guidance of the teacher, three or four days are enough to complete an episode of the story. It took more than a month to complete one episode of the required pictures, that is because they have to learn the technique of making this kind of painting, and they have to allocate a lot of time to study the schoolwork. If you go, they can help you catch up with two more episodes of the story. However, in these few days, you must start tomorrow and pay each child the same amount of money every day. This is a big Chinese New Year... "..."

"One person consistently?" Changsun Wuji was a little dazed when he heard the words.At this time, he calculated this account in his mind, more than 300 people, more than 300 per day, counting from today to the end of the seventh day of the first month, it will be ten days, unexpectedly, it is only ten minutes more, he actually It will cost more than 3000 yuan.

However, this amount of money is nothing to the former richest man in the Tang Dynasty and now the second richest man Sun Wuji. After he nodded, Sun Xiangfu took him with a smile and went to the next stage In the area, there are new and novel things waiting for him.
