Chapter 581 Script, Aesthetics Are Not a Problem

After visiting the Academy of Art, Li Changheng was a little amazed that the cartoon about Havoc in Heaven was really all hand-painted, not to mention that it takes 7,000 to 10,000 pictures to draw a picture in ten minutes.

No wonder the 120-minute episodes of Havoc in Heaven took 2 years just to paint the world.

Of course, this is also related to insufficient funds and materials.

After all, the animated film Havoc in Tiangong was filmed in 1961, and eating enough was a problem at that time.

Two or thirty people will take two years, but if the number of people increases to seven or eighty, even if the coordination and cooperation need to be adjusted, it is completely fine to double the speed.

If Li Changheng gives some rewards, it is not easy to give the money directly, but buy more meat, milk powder and other nutritious food for an art film studio.

It is really not difficult for the energetic Tianchao people to carry forward and carry forward the spirit of hard work and brave new heights, and get the painting work done within half a year.

Of course, drawing is very simple, but the script of the movie and how to draw have become the key issues.

Li Changheng learned that as long as there is a task, let alone the local painting talents in Shanghai.

It is no problem to recruit experienced teachers directly from various major art schools.

After thinking about it for a day, he proposed to use 300,000 US dollars to commission the filming of "Frozen" in the name of Hollywood United Artists to test the waters.

The final picture effect of the finished film is definitely not as good as the movies he has seen in the future. Correspondingly, Americans in this era are also not very good at watching movies due to limitations in production technology and concepts.

And seriously, just compare the cartoons from the mainland and the United States before the 1970s.

Li Changheng really thinks that the mainland is not only not bad, but better.

Of course, the difference in aesthetics and values ​​is a big problem.

Therefore, he chose Frozen instead of other cartoons. American people will definitely accept it. Li Changheng doesn’t need to care too much about whether the mainland, Hong Kong and Macau will like it.

Of course, The Lion King, Tom and Jerry would do the same.

But it is not in line with the maximization of interests to blow up the king as soon as the card is played.

It's hard to say whether Frozen will be a big hit if you don't ask for it, but Li Changheng is quite confident in making millions or millions of dollars.

In addition to the script, for him, he only needs to recall the cartoon in his memory from the beginning to the end, and then use drawings and words to easily describe the plot of the entire cartoon and the style he wants.

The rest is handed over to the painter. Try to make a 5-minute sample first. Not only will it not cost much, but it will only take about two weeks if there are enough people.

As soon as the commissioned film was announced, the art film studio reviewed the complete script and confirmed that it was only a story of courage, redemption, friendship, and family affection.

In addition to earning foreign exchange, this matter was discussed for only 2 days before a clear answer was given.

As for whether 300,000 US dollars is enough, based on the current prices in the mainland, it must be enough.

And Li Changheng doesn't care about 300,000 or 500,000.

After learning about his financial resources, Modu thought in his heart that since you can't stay permanently, you don't even send people, and you still have to hurry up.

Then it will be no problem for me to send someone abroad to meet you.

In this way, the cost will change from 300,000 US dollars to 400,000 or 500,000 US dollars. There should be no problem, right?

It's a pity that these people don't understand at all. Li Changheng would rather abolish this cartoon, and he will definitely let them understand that since the contract is signed, everything must be done according to the contract.

Otherwise, when he does business in the Heavenly Dynasty in the future, there will definitely be people with the same thoughts, always thinking about how to get benefits from him.

Even the head of the local government that cooperates may have this kind of fluke in his heart.

And when the people of the Celestial Dynasty killed people familiarly, it was called cruelty and peace of mind.

After the contract was formally signed and the first 100,000 yuan was not paid, the rabbit's ability to mobilize people only took three days to let Li Changheng realize what it means to respond to everyone.

Not to mention 30 painting teachers directly transferred from surrounding counties and cities, each teacher is accompanied by at least 4 apprentices who have many years of painting skills.

150 people plus the original 26 people in the film studio made Li Changheng happy, but at the same time he secretly wondered if someone would make trouble.

But I didn't expect to ask in private to find out that it was my Cézanne oil painting in the Central Academy of Fine Arts that played a role.

Although that painting was estimated at only 900,000 pounds in this era, this painting really made people understand that Li Changheng, whether he was a capitalist or not, must mean what he said.

In a single 3-story building in the film studio, Li Changheng, who already had sketching skills, drew a character.

After staying in the small building for three days, I looked at the 1,000 drafts that were constantly revised and drawn during these three days, and then sorted out more than 300 colored atlases, and quickly flipped through them with the help of special tools.

The picture in his eyes suddenly moved.

Although it took only 1 minute to watch, the picture of the frozen sea was vividly displayed in front of everyone.

After Ruan Mei finished watching, she excitedly grabbed Li Changheng's hand and said, "This is too amazing."

Li Changheng smiled and nodded. With this method, in the future, when he wants to check the progress and see if the drawing meets his requirements, he only needs to look at the album sent to him.

Looking at the 6 people in charge, Li Changheng nodded affirmatively, "As long as the cartoons produced can have the same effect as now, I don't think you will be short of jobs in the future.

Maybe you have to worry about too much work. "

After hearing this, Guan Shujie, the project leader, finally let go of his worries.

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, we are still in the running-in period for the past three days. If we enter the normal working state, we can basically draw 40 seconds of animation sketches every day.

A 90-minute movie can be produced in about 4.5 to 5 months.

Moreover, the difference between animated movies and live-action movies is that we can not only dub while producing, but also don’t have to consider reshoots and excessive editing.

The only trouble is that it is difficult for us to find so many singers and voice actors with pure American accents to sing the episodes and theme songs you mentioned, and to dub them. "

"I will take care of this matter," Li Changheng smiled and shook hands with Guan Shujie and the other six team leaders.

With Ruan Mei and others, as well as the negatives of the Heavenly Palace, they flew directly from Shanghai to Hangzhou.

After spending three days in Hangzhou, I met a lot of Ruan Mei's relatives who are not close by blood, but very hospitable and hospitable, leaving behind many gifts brought early in the morning.

The private plane flew directly to Hong Kong Island, and then sent Zhang Feng back to London to go to school. While Ye Zheng also went to school, he ran to the Great Wall Film Company every day after school to learn from the crew.

As for He Yuzhu, he met Lou Xiaoe's mother and son first, and took his apprentice Ma Hua to work as a chef in the "Boss Ruan" restaurant the next day.

A week has passed unknowingly since I returned to Hong Kong Island, and the movie "Havoc in Heaven" was officially played in 7 theaters on Hong Kong Island on March 21.
