Chapter 238 Executive Director
Mu Bai's first question was mainly about Fu Fengmao and Zhang Hui, one of them has experience in making 3D animation, and the other has experience in making graphic games.

Fu Fengmao first said: "I suggest doing [-]D animation. Although [-]D animation takes some time to model, the effect is good, and the designed image can be reused in the future."

Mu Bai asked again: "Which one is faster? Because the construction period is relatively short."

This question is tantamount to negating the production plan of three-dimensional animation. Whether these images can be used in the future is another matter. Let’s talk about it after passing the current level, and then talk about it later.

"When it comes to fast speed, it is naturally a two-dimensional animation." Zhang Hui replied: "However, the design team needs to provide more original paintings, 24 frames per second, theoretically, 24 original paintings are required.

"The current animation software can adjust the subtle movements of the characters, and even so, at least two original paintings are required for one second."

Mu Bai leaned on the back of the chair: "Two! One minute is 1 cards, and more than four minutes is more than 120 cards."

He turned to Ji Yuanjie and Liu Zhe and asked: "How long will it take you to finish the painting?"

Zhang Hui reminded from the side: "If there is a script and sub-shots, it can be produced while drawing. For the initial production, we only need more than 100 pictures at the beginning of the story."

Ji Yuanjie has experience in drawing comics. She said: "I suggest designing the characters and the background first. Drawing on this basis should be very fast. After all, as long as it is in one shot, every original drawing is very similar."

Mu Bai took out his sketchbook: "I have already designed the characters almost, but you need to design the background."

Ji Yuanjie pondered for a while: "The main background can be designed in three days. I don't dare to say the storyboards because I don't have much experience in this area. If there are more than 100 original paintings, it should be completed in three or four days."

It will definitely be a little slow at the beginning, but when there are sub-shots, backgrounds, and characters, the subsequent production will be unimpeded.

Mu Bai nodded, quite satisfied with the speed: "Don't dwell on the plot first, draw the storyboards first. Yuan Jie will try it first to see if it can be completed. If not, I will do the work in two days.

"Don't forget to show me after the background is designed!"

He didn't have time to draw storyboards these two days, so he had to leave this burden to Ji Yuanjie and Liu Zhe.

He believed that Ji Yuanjie should have the ability in this area. After all, in the drawing process of "Inuyasha", Mu Bai was only responsible for a few key storyboards. The rest of the storyboards were described by Mu Bai and Ji Yuanjie completed them.

But comics and animation are different. It's hard to say what Ji Yuanjie can draw, so we can only take a step at a time.

Then Mu Bai divided the tasks into more details: "Yuan Jie is responsible for the original painting, and Liu Zhe is responsible for the coloring. We will try to hand it over to the programming team for production before the summer vacation.

"In addition, operations such as dubbing and special effects must be prepared. This requires an executive director to make a unified plan. Do you have any candidates?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and they didn't know anyone in this area.

Yang Wenjun suggested: "Should I find two part-time jobs as directors from the academy?"

Generally, Yang Wenjun will be in charge of scheduling any actions in the studio, but the executive director needs a certain degree of professionalism, and Yang Wenjun also has a lot of things in his hands, so he has no skills at all.

Mu Bai shook his head: "The executive director must have enough practical experience, and the students in the school are enough to be competent."

He thought for a while, and suddenly thought of that big fat man in Mao Ning's crew, he is the most competent executive director Mu Bai has ever seen: "I'll go to director Mao Ning's crew later, and see if I can learn from him. Get some help there."

Mu Bai leaned forward and said, "It's also my first time directing a short film, so there must be many immature places. Please raise your opinions and discuss more, so as to lay the foundation for our future animation film production!"

This is the truth, before Mu Bai thought this short film was too simple, but when it was time to make it, he realized that the studio team was a bit reluctant to make the short film.

Even with the theoretical knowledge of the [director] profession, Mu Bai was a little flustered.

Because of the limited time, after the meeting to determine everyone's responsibilities, Mu Bai and Yang Wenjun bought some snacks to visit Qi Heng's crew.

Some time ago, Qi Heng wanted to record "The Sunshine Boy's Sunshine House" while filming, and he almost vomited blood from exhaustion.

Now that the recording of "Sunshine House" is finished, Qi Heng concentrates on filming, and one of them stays on the set these days.

Because Mao Ning is filming a modern drama this time, the crew is not in the film city, but in a neighborhood with a good environment.

Qi Heng had more roles than in the previous "Cheng Wang Jie". Two people came to the set, he was filming, and his assistant entertained Mu Bai and Yang Wenjun.

While waiting for Qi Heng, the chubby executive director in the group heard that Mu Bai was coming, so he came over to say hello.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Mu Bai always feels that this buddy seems to be fat again, and the flesh on his face is trembling.

Mu Bai came to see him today: "Come on, come on, sit around, I just need your help with something."

The executive director was probably afraid that the simple stool would not be able to support himself, so he didn't sit down in the past: "Can you help me?"

"Yes, our studio has accepted an animated film project, and now we need an executive director that I can trust." Mu Bai said straight to the point:

"I immediately thought of you, brother. You are a model executive director in my heart, so I want to ask if you have talents in this field?"

The executive director smiled and said: "Thank you, thank you. Director Mu has found the right person. Since the "Cheng Wang Jie" became popular, many juniors have come to join me. Now I have a good seedling by my side. I'll call you to see look?"

"I still believe in my elder brother's vision, call me here!"

The executive director yelled twice on the intercom, and after a while a handsome boy came over: "Brother Kong, are you looking for me?"

"This is Director Mu of Guofeng Studio." The executive director introduced to both parties: "This is Cao Baosen who just graduated."

Mu Bai stretched out his hand: "Hello, hello."

When the two shook hands, Cao Baosen scratched his head and said, "I have watched "Inuyasha" and played "Xiangwang Fengyunlu". I really like Guofeng Studio."

Although he has just entered the society, he also knows that Mu Bai is a very high-quality contact, so he is a little nervous and tries to find a topic.

Mu Bai said with a smile: "It's good to have a simple understanding of our studio, then have you noticed the news on 'Guofeng.com' that we are planning to make an animated film?"

"I noticed, is it to shoot Totoro?"

It seems that this is really a fan of "Guofengwang", Mu Bai smiled and said: "That's right, now this movie needs an executive director, this Brother Kong recommended you to me, do you think you are qualified for this job?" ?”

"I, I really think I can, but I'll let you delay things." Cao Baosen stumbled and said.

The executive director on the side lectured: "There are so many things! I have seen your ability. Since I recommend you to Director Mu, it is a kind of affirmation of you. You are still here. .”

Only then did Cao Baosen realize that what he said just now was a slap in the face of "Brother Kong". He scratched his head and said with a smile, "Aren't I a little excited when I heard the good news all of a sudden!"

Mu Bai smiled: "You don't have to rush to agree. Before making an animated film, I took a short animation film for everyone to practice. Now the short film is still in the planning stage, and I will reply within three or four days. good."

He was going to finish his busy days and return to the studio to see Cao Baosen's ability for himself.

After leaving contact information for each other, Mu Bai thanked the executive director again, and Cao Baosen and the two left.

Another half an hour later, Qi Heng finished filming, the three chatted for a while, Qi Heng suddenly said to Mu Bai: "After "Sunshine House" ended, the director team announced that they will plan to shoot the second season.

"But he didn't renew the contract with Brother Kang. When Brother Kang left, he was quite lonely."

Speaking of this, Qi Heng was a little bit embarrassed, after all, he had been with Kang Hao for a while, and although he didn't have a good impression of him, he still had some feelings for him.

"Although I don't have much contact with Big Brother Kang," Mu Bai said bluntly, "But I can also feel that he is not suitable for this path."

Qi Heng sighed: "Yes, Brother Kang wants acting but not acting skills, and talent but not talent. His debut is just a coincidence. He himself doesn't have much ambition and has been messing around for more than ten years."

"He is already an adult. Since he has chosen this path, he has to bear the hardships of this path. We can't help him unless he wants to cheer himself up."

Mu Bai thought of some not-so-good memories. There are people like Big Brother Kang in all walks of life. They are unwilling to work hard and hope to enjoy relatively good results.Usually eyes high and hands low, panicked when things happen.

Mu Bai realized that this topic was a bit heavy, so he asked Qi Heng: "Did the director team say that I will appear as a resident guest in the next season?"

"I said it, but Miss Xiao Le was so happy!" Qi Heng laughed.

"If I can meet the director of "Sunshine House" in advance, I really hope to give some opinions on the second season." Mu Bai followed with a smile: "The idea of ​​this show is good, but it's a little bit off."

"I can help you make an appointment with him." Qi Heng thought for a while and said, "Wouldn't it be nice to invite him to the beach for vacation?"

"That's a good idea!"

Yang Wenjun endured for a long time, and finally said: "It's hard to see each other, and the two of you are still talking about work! It's so boring!" The key is that she can't get in the way.

Mu Bai smiled and said, "Then let's talk about the upcoming final exam!" Although Yang Wenjun has suspended his studies, he still needs to take the exam.

Yang Wenjun groaned: "Well, let's talk about work!"

Mu Bai and Qi Heng laughed loudly.

When Yang Wenjun and Mu Bai left the crew, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon.

The two of them parted ways, Yang Wenjun returned to the studio, and Mu Bai took a taxi to the Shesheng Company to continue catching up on the announcement.

As soon as he got into the taxi, Fang Jiao called Mu Bai, saying that Ding Xiyan would like to visit the studio tomorrow.
