If you don't animate, you will die

Chapter 20 Losing Money
On November 11st, the production of the second 1D animation will start today.

The reason why I chose "Love You in vain" is because each episode is only about 13 minutes long, and the picture is relatively simple. It is a daily animation on campus. The demand for the amount of painting is not high. There are many lazy ways to save frames. .

Moreover, the picture is clean and the painting style is fresh, which is very suitable for electronic painting.

And the BL station also received part of the outsourcing of coloring, why didn't the painting outsource, because the painters of Dongfang Yinghua are enough, and there is no need to outsource the original painting.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Wu Qi came to the [-]D animation department with his USB flash drive.

This plan, he will directly announce to everyone.

Give the U disk to Zhao Xiaoyue and ask him to send the file to all relevant personnel.

Wu Qi himself stood in the center of the studio. People who were okay looked at him straight away, and those who didn't look at him had their ears pricked up, ready to hear Wu Qi's words clearly at the first time.

For a while, a quiet needle drop could be heard in the studio, Wu Qi coughed, and started his speech, "Well, you will all receive my new project in a while, the storyboards have been completed, and all the layouts have been completed One third, you can start painting directly, I will finish all the layouts before the end of November, everyone, let’s start working.”

Everyone thought they heard it wrong, you want to complete all the layouts by yourself?
If they remember correctly, this animation should be a 12-episode animation, and each episode has 12 and a half minutes, definitely not Instant Noodles.

The demand for layout is not small, and it is absolutely difficult for one person to complete it, but Wu Qi said that he has completed one-third of it, and the rest can be completed quickly, which is outrageous.

Although I know that the boss is awesome, but human beings have limits, and the boss is also a human being, so it should be difficult to surpass the limit.

What if the boss is not fast enough to paint and delays the schedule?It takes five people to keep up with the progress, right?

Zhao Xiaoyue was about to ask a question, but she raised her hands, but Wu Qi said again: "Don't worry about me, I can finish it by myself, if I can't finish it, I will take the blame."

If he can't finish it, he will take the blame, Wu Qi said so, and Zhao Xiaoyue put down the hand he raised just now, okay, since you said so.

Everyone stopped worrying about Wu Qi, they began to look at the documents they got.

"Like You in vain", an animation on campus, love, daily life, and funny themes, the story takes place in a high school in Tsukimoto.

Why put the background of the story in the month?
Because this animation was a Tsukimoto animation in the previous life, and it is very difficult to adapt it to the local Chinese style. Several of the characters have a strong Tsukimoto style, unless the characters are deleted or modified.

Moreover, it is not enough to modify the characters. The background of the story, the composition and operation of the school are all different from those in Huaxia.

If you just replace the character name and change Yueben's name to Huaxia's name, it will make this animation look nondescript.

Therefore, Wu Qi chose not to change.

Let’s just think it’s a Chinese who has been telling this story for a month. Shakespeare, an Englishman, also wrote Italian stories!

On this day, Wu Qi was painting all the time. When he was about to leave work, Zhang Dechao, Wu Qi’s financial manager, approached him. Zhang Dechao sounded like a middle-aged man with thinning hair, but in fact he was a middle-aged man with thick hair.

Zhang Dechao handed several reports to Wu Qi, "This is the revenue report of "Tom and Jerry."

Zhang Dechao was a little nervous. He pressed his hands tightly to the two trouser legs, and twisted the fabric of the trouser legs hard with his fingers.

The reason why he was nervous was because "Tom and Jerry" lost money, and it looked like a loss of more than 20. If "Tom and Jerry" didn't get an A-level evaluation, it might lose more than 50.

Although this blame should not be borne by the finance, but without making money, the finance will definitely not have a bonus.

Zhang Dechao wanted to sigh, the boss is really confused, why do these unprofitable animations?What good is a good reputation?

After reading the financial report, Wu Qi just nodded. He didn't show Zhang Dechao's predictive expression, and he didn't feel upset either. The loss of money was in his expectation, and it was also part of his plan.

"I'll give you 20, and you'll pay bonuses to the people in the 30D animation department based on the calculation of [-]% of the profit."

After saying this, Wu Qi got off work and left.

Zhang Dechao thought his ears were broken, so why should he give bonuses to employees after losing money?No way?Do capitalists also talk about feelings?
He is just a financial man, he doesn't know production, he doesn't watch animation, how can he understand Wu Qi's ideas and pursuits.

If you want to do online animation in Huaxia, you have to be prepared to lose money for a long time. Although Huaxia sells Blu-ray discs, almost no one buys them.

Yueben is just Yueben, Huaxia is just Huaxia, the reality is not as beautiful as in the novel, and it is a fact that Huaxia cannot sell Blu-ray discs.

If you want to realize it, you have to rely on other means, and you need to explore other means by yourself. After all, Huaxia does not have a complete industrial chain related to animation.

From production to realization, each link is fragmented.

So, on the way home, he called his father.

"Hello, Dad?"

"Xiao Qi, what's the matter?"

"That's right, I hope that the toys and food surroundings of "Tom and Jerry" can be operated by you."

Wu Mucheng wants to refuse. He has engaged in offline entertainment, catering and theaters, but has never engaged in manufacturing. He doesn't understand this, but this is his son's idea. He doesn't want to refuse and can't bear to refuse, " Alright, I'll find someone who understands and study it."

"Well, it's okay that this matter is not urgent. You can think about it slowly. I'll hang up."

Wu Qi feels that the peripheral potential of "Tom and Jerry" should be very large, greater than most Japanese animations.

The best-selling peripherals are often family carnival animations.

Tom and Jerry can definitely make a lot of money if you get it right!

In order to enhance the influence of "Tom and Jerry", Wu Qi also found two editors in the 3D department and asked them to do some editing related to "Cat and Jerry" in their spare time.

Edit some high-energy clips of "Tom and Jerry" into short videos, then make some "Tom and Jerry" emoticons, and then let them be released in batches on dozens of self-media platforms across the Internet.

In this way, many people can watch "Tom and Jerry". If the emoji package is interesting, they will watch "Cat and Jerry". Cat and mouse has become a well-known super IP.

"Tom and Jerry" has this potential, all it lacks is time.

When Wu Qi returned home, he chose to relax by browsing Twitter as usual.

Sure enough, he found something interesting on the Internet again.

Dongfang Pictures has paid attention to many peers, including "Sea Light Animation Studio".

'Sea Glimmer Animation Studio' posted a tweet, "Dawn of Omnics, set for January 2011, future world, omnic crisis, robots want to destroy humanity. [picture] [picture]."
