The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

2D animation is not easier than 3D. Even, in a sense, except for those top-level visual effects animations, the production cost of most common 3D animations is actually much lower than that of 2D.

For example, in the current 2D animation, the more common 3-to-2 technical means has largely solved the most time-consuming and labor-intensive part of 2D animation. Many pictures no longer need to be drawn manually by painters, and it is better to solve them by technical means.

Like the more important works in the past two years, Makoto Shinkai's Your Name, those romantic, beautiful, and artistic images are the masterpieces of the mutual cooperation between the artist and the advancement of technology.

In Fan Zhe's conception, he wanted to make Full-time Master, and the quality must be higher than the existing ones, more refined and more aesthetically pleasing.

But the problem is, Lewen is such a large conglomerate in the upstream of content, holding the copyright of 10,000 popular online novels, why should he cooperate with this little shrimp like himself?

Although Fan Zhe has seen many rumors that Lewen Group is dissatisfied with the previous and existing production companies, and the release date has been delayed again and again, these seem to be very favorable news for him. However, these news are just 'rumors' on the Internet. Even the people who broke the news from all sides seem to be some insiders, but the truth has long been a Rashomon.

But he still decided to give it a try.

He also had a general idea at the moment.

The word-of-mouth of the full-time special episode has declined significantly compared to the first season, and various news broke out at the same time, showing signs of internal tension between Lewen Group and the production company. Then, Fan Zhe decided to remake this special chapter by himself, and upload it on the Internet with a more sophisticated appearance.

He hoped that in this way, he could attract the attention of Lewen Group, and exchange for this project with better production and a certain concession on the production cost.

As for the copyright issue, he has not considered it for the time being.

It's really hard to define this thing. If Fan Zhe made a set of animations for the special chapter of Full-time Master, and then sold them, or made money through commercial operations, it would definitely be an infringement.

However, Fan Zhe didn't intend to use the animation of the special episode that will be made in the future for commercial purposes. He doesn't intend to sell money, nor does he intend to sell advertisements. He completely redoes it from the perspective of a fan, and it can be regarded as a fan creation that is not used for commercial purposes.

Does this count as infringement?

Difficult to define, but for the time being Fan Zhe decided to do it first.

Anyway, his ultimate goal is to attract attention and promote the brand in this way.

It's not like the opening animation of Assassination Squad, which is from other people's Game of Gods, and they won't bring any words from him during the promotion.

However, among the works to be done next, Fan Zhe is determined to put his own brand on each one.

When he has more money, he will definitely go to some intermediaries to register his studio. Even the name, he has already thought of it, it is called 'dimension'.

Under this premise, even if his idea fails in the end, and there is no possibility of further cooperation with Full-time Master, that doesn't matter. The words Dimension Entertainment on the opening and ending credits will become a signboard. The accumulated word-of-mouth and representative works with a certain amount of traffic will still be helpful for subsequent development.

After thinking about this, Fan Zhe threw off his arms and did it.

The story told in the special chapter of Full-time Master can roughly be summed up. The protagonist Ye Xiu, a retired professional gamer, went to the professional gamer circle during the All-Star Weekend to pretend to be a crazy story.

Here, in fact, it should be regarded as a relatively classic little climax of the original work. It can be seen that in the animations that have been released at the moment, they also consciously made this aspect of the plot, but the effect reflected, in the eyes of Fan Zhe, a fan of the original work, is far from enough.

At the end of the plot, Ye Xiu performed the magic trick of dragon raising its head, which should have been the biggest climax in the entire three episodes of the special, but in the animation, this climax is not strong enough .

Fan Zhe analyzed the reason. On the one hand, he believed that the producer may have some deficiencies in the grasp of the plot and the understanding of the essence of the original work; at the same time, the other reason was also limited to the level of production. The shocking feeling of the move of dragon raising its head was not brought into play.

If Fan Zhe wants to make a work whose word-of-mouth greatly surpasses the existing animation, it must be made more shocking. This is the place where the entire story is sublimated in the entire three-episode animation of the special chapter.

Besides this place, there are many, many places that can be modified in front.

For example, human settings.

The character design of Full-time Master animation, according to the standard of domestic animation, is actually quite passable. But in the eyes of Fan Zhe, a top artist... that's all.

Although he is not particularly well-known in the field of original painting and illustration in China, but if you really want to talk about the level at hand, if you give a full score of 100, 99 may be a bit immodest, and a score of 95 should be stable.

In his opinion, there must be a lot of room for improvement in character design. Even, if he was entrusted with the design, he would definitely not make it like this.

But this aspect needs to be changed, and the problem will be relatively big - the first season of Full-time Master has a good reputation, such as Ye Xiu and his characters Jun Moxiao, Yiye Zhiqiu, and Huang Shaotian, Han Wenqing, etc. The image of these popular characters has been settled, and they are quite popular among the people. If there is a major change in this aspect, even beyond recognition, it is likely to cause a problem: fans may not recognize that this is Full-time Master.

But if he didn’t change it, Fan Zhe felt a little bit uncomfortable. For example, Huang Shaotian’s Troubled Night Rain was a character that Fan Zhe liked in the original book, but in the animation, the expressiveness of this character’s design was far from what he expected. Far.

It is necessary to improve the design level by a large amount, but also to be similar to the original version, at least not to make people feel that it has changed drastically. This is a place that needs to be weighed.

Fan Zhe scratched his head and decided to draw first.

Looking at the original character design, he tried to draw his own version of Huang Shaotian's Trouble in the Rain, which is a swordsman character with armor.

While drawing, he began to try to modify and add some details on the basis of the original color scheme and shape.

The armor is still in the shape of that set of armor, but in the hands of Fan Zhe, this set of armor soon becomes more real.

Reality comes from the details. The pattern on the armor, the treatment of the joints between each piece of armor, some small decorations...

Slowly draw these things little by little, modifying the bad parts of the original character design, and soon, a brand new character took shape in his hands.
