If you don't animate, you will die

Chapter 2 Status Quo and Future

For the next three days, Wu Qi remained in bed.

Although his cancer was suppressed, because of time travel and surgery, he felt weak and lethargic.

On the morning of the fourth day, Wu Qi felt that he had almost recovered. Apart from some fatigue, there was no more bad feeling.

Now, it's time to leave the hospital.

This morning, wearing a hospital gown, he found his attending doctor alone.

"Doctor Zhang, I'm leaving the hospital."

Dr. Zhang was silent for a while, "Aren't you going to have surgery?"

Wu Qi nodded.

当天中午，也就是2010年9月1日12:33分。

He left the hospital alone, texting his parents as he left.

The content is very simple, it is to tell his parents that he has left the hospital and given up treatment, and he can go to him at any time in the company.

Oriental Pictures is located on a street in the old city of Shanghai. It is a four-story office building with walls made of brown-red bricks.

After Wu Qi got off a taxi, he walked into his company.

He is the king of bad movies, the god of children's animation, the ghost of online animation, the idealistic god of death, the craftsman spirit bubble machine, the chairman of Dongfang Pictures, the mudslide in the animation circle, and the man Wu Qi who is at the forefront of online animation.

He's back now!

Walking into the company, Wu Qi smiled easily and walked through the empty corridor.

When he was about to return to his office, he ran into an employee head-on.

It was a young girl with long black hair and double ponytails, and a cute oval face. Wu Qi recognized her as Zhao Xiaoyue, the supervisor of the [-]D animation department.

Zhao Xiaoyue stared blankly at Wu Qi, "Old, boss?"

Wu Qi nodded and walked into his office without looking back.

Zhao Xiaoyue was promoted by the original owner. The original owner seemed to be greedy for the other party's body. When he was about to pursue him, he was diagnosed with cancer.

But Wu Qi is not interested in that aspect now, if this girl is not up to the task he gave, just replace it.

Zhao Xiaoyue stood there until Wu Qi closed the door of his office.

She had a feeling that the boss seemed to be different from before, and his temperament and demeanor had changed a lot.

Also, she wants to tell everyone the news that the boss is back!
Zhao Xiaoyue took out her mobile phone and sent a message in the work group.

"The boss is back, I just bumped into him."

"Looks like she's lost a lot of weight."

Soon someone replied, financial manager Zhang Dechao: "@武齐, welcome back!"

What followed was a bunch of "Welcome back" swipes.

Zhao Xiaoyue shook her head, the boss is not sick, how many people really care about it?

Wu Qi sat on a black leather office chair. In front of him was a long mahogany office desk with a computer in the middle and documents piled up around it.

At the back is a bookshelf placed against the wall, "buzz~"

Wu Qi's cell phone vibrated suddenly, and he saw that the number belonged to his father.

He answered the phone and said, "Dad."

On the other end of the phone, Wu Mucheng wanted to question Wu Qi. He wanted his son to be sent back to the hospital for treatment, but he couldn't speak, "Xiao Qi." Wu Mucheng's voice trembled.

Wu Qi interrupted his father, "Dad, I have some ideas that I want to make into animation."

"I also want to taste some food that I have never eaten before."

"I have some stories left to tell. Let me go."

A person without a future has unlimited expectations for the future.

Facing his son's request, Wu Mucheng could not refuse, nor could he bear to refuse.

"Go."

Wu Mucheng had a thousand words, but in the end it turned into a sigh.

At this moment, Wu Qi felt relaxed, playing the emotional card really worked.

He decided to take a look at the level of animation in this world first.

It is now 2010, and foreign animation is rampant in China.

The animation of Yueben and Lighthouse Country is the ceiling of this industry, which is similar to his previous life.

Find the major lists of animation rankings.

'NPPP list, the most authoritative animation list in China. '

There are four leaderboards in it, namely: Yueben, Beacon Country, Huaxia and others.

Click on the animation ranking of the country in the month, and two sub-rankings pop up, namely: the ranking of the current season and the ranking of the whole year.

Most of the new shows in July have been played, and among the top ten on the list, two are 7D animations, and three are three-dimensional animations.

The so-called three-rendering-two technology is to render the three-dimensional animation into a two-dimensional feeling.

Wu Qi thought he was wrong, this is the animation of Yueben?

在他前世，月本动画里100部有98部是2D，这一世2D与3D反而五五开了。

Looking at the top three rankings, there was a 3D animation that ranked second. Wu Qi was even more surprised.

I found it on Penguin Video, but found that I can only watch the first episode, and membership is required for the other episodes.

Opening the first episode, a huge and ugly bug comes up. The tiny textures on the bug's body and the particles and dust in the air are all clearly visible.

A large piece of "Fuck! This picture quality!" floated across the barrage

The slightly dim light and the texture of various details made Wu Qi almost groan.

This is not much different from the CG animation of his previous life, and the degree of realism is very high.

If 3D can achieve this level, it's okay to abandon 2D.

Nowadays, film and television technology is developing so fast that even Yueben can't sit still.

No one wants to be eliminated, and no one can bear the price of falling behind.

In order to keep up with the pace of VR technology in Huaxia and Beacon Country, Yueben had to vigorously develop 3D animation for transition.

The rapid development of technology will inevitably lead to a lack of foundation. The potential of 2D animation is far from being discovered, and VR technology is about to come.

Finally, Wu Qi opened the leaderboard of the Lighthouse Country. This time, as Wu Qi imagined, all 3D animations, and most of them are animated movies.

Then open the ranking list of the Chinese region. There is a 2-3 split between [-]D and [-]D animation, but they are all sub-oriented.

In Wu Qi's opinion, there are several animations with good plots. One of them, "Five Heroes of Middle-earth", has a well-known writer as a literary consultant, but the dubbing and painting style are difficult for him to accept.

Moreover, this kind of animation is also difficult to copy. In traditional literature, everyone is a literary consultant, and the largest animation company in the country provides painters. This is the Chinese national team. It is very strong, but its style is very childish. It is a TV animation for children. .

Wu Qi felt that this animation was very similar to "The Legend of the Rainbow Cat, Blue Rabbit and Seven Heroes" in his previous life, and there were literary masters as consultants.

On the No.10 animation in Huaxia District, Wu Qi saw a familiar figure "Fruit Super Squad" with a score of 4.3. This is his company's animation, which has been serialized for hundreds of episodes. Wu Qi really doesn't want to watch it.

In this world in 2010, the situation faced by domestic animation is similar to that in his previous life.

But the good news is that Yueben is vigorously developing 3D technology, and it is impossible to develop the level of 2D animation to the level of his previous life, Yueben.

Why is Yueben in such a hurry?Wu Qi heard that the VR technology in Huaxia and Lighthouse Country is about to mature.

However, China's VR vision technology is only about three years away from large-scale commercial use, keeping pace with Lighthouse Country.

Wu Qi was amazed by the speed of development of this world.

Moreover, Huaxia Animation hopes to use VR technology to achieve corner overtaking.

If you want to participate in the next wave of VR technology, you must practice 3D animation technology.

As for when Wu Qi will enter into 3D animation, Wu Qi feels that the main focus now is to improve his technical skills, and with his current team, he will also be a subcontractor for 3D animation.

To put it bluntly, his company's level is not enough.

Wu Qi made a lot of money before, and his 3D department has been doing its own planning, and has not taken over outsourcing.

His Dongfang Pictures Company is the third largest animation production company in China.

Although the output is high, there is not a single high-quality product, and it has earned the title of "National Comic Cancer" on the Internet.

Due to long-term simple animation, the technical skills of his employees are no longer enough. Just like his 2D department, they all need practice and improvement.

Now he has to work hard to make animations to survive, and then change the world's impression of him and his company.

Wu Qi stood up and walked towards the [-]D animation department on the second floor.

In the two-dimensional animation department, 63 desks are neatly arranged in the hall, and there is a hard-working figure in front of most of the desks.

During Wu Qi's absence, the [-]D animation department is continuing to update the two animations in serial.

The two-dimensional animation department has been receiving outsourcing work.

As soon as Wu Qi came, people who entered from the door all looked at him, but no one spoke.

Supervisor Zhao Xiaoyue stepped forward to greet her, "Boss."

"How long will it take to stop all outsourcing?" Wu Qi asked.

Zhao Xiaoyue: "We have received outsourcing from 4 companies in total."

"The two haven't started yet, and the one is almost over."

Wu Qi: "Just reject the ones that haven't started, and help finish the ones that are about to end, what else?"

"There's another one just started."

Wu Qi: "How many people?"

"12."

Wu Qi nodded, "Let them continue, and then tell others that we are going to make a new animation."

"What new animation?"

Wu Qi smiled mysteriously, "I'll tell you tomorrow."
