The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 114: Self-made animation

Views:

Zhou Yu's ability to name names has always been commonplace. The name 'Little Taoyuan' has been complained by Zhou Fu all the time. It is really difficult for him to choose a name now.

The name of the company feels unpleasant and can be changed, but once the name of the animation base is chosen, it cannot be changed. It is not for playing games, and you can also spend money to buy a name change card. There was really no other way, so the villagers of Xiaoluhua Village were called together to come up with a tall name.

However, it turns out that there is no worst but worse. As expected, these village goods are hopeless, such as 'Longteng', 'Sura' and the like, the embarrassing cancer attack of the second disease. There is really no other way but to use the oldest method, drawing lots to get the characters.

Find a bunch of educated words and write them on a piece of paper, fold it and throw it into the air to grab it randomly, and whoever catches it counts.

Life and death will be determined, let me go!

The first character - quilt; the second character - seal. Hmm, quilt seal script, what does it mean? who knows. But that's it. Anyway, no one knows what the meaning of the word looks like, it seems to have a sense of loftiness, isn't it, so it won't be talked about by people anymore

After taking the name, Mason Monkey immediately carved it on a large stone at the gate of the base. In the Quil Seal Animation Base, the unknown name was decided in such a child's play way.

Originally thought that the upgraded animation base could produce animations such as level 4 and level 5, but the required teams would increase, such as special jobs such as actors and photographers. Level 3 animation is already the top-level animation in the 3D dimension. I really don’t know what it will be like if it is above level 3.

However, expectations were dashed.

The animation base after the upgrade can still produce animations of the first 3 levels, and the required conditions remain the same as before, but there is no option for levels above 3. The only extra thing is 'self-made animation'.

Self-made animation must have a director, actors, and photographers. In addition, a filming team must be recruited, and the last requirement is to have a complete script.

In the past, when making animated movies, you just write a random story, and it can automatically generate all the plots. After all, it is automatically generated, so the dialogue is a bit rigid, and the characteristics of the characters tend to be stereotyped. But self-made animation is not enough. It must be a script with correct and complete format, otherwise it will not be possible to shoot.

There are two ways to obtain scripts, one is to cultivate a script writer by yourself, and the other is to buy from wandering script writers or other places.

There was actually a wandering script writer in Luhua Village, but at that time Zhou Yu only wanted to keep him, but in the end he couldn't keep Wen Qing, a second-handed man who claimed to be "the wind in his blood", with all his efforts. The only thing I still remember is that the price of the script is ridiculously expensive. A C-level one costs 1000 Moe coins, and some special props are required to sell it. For example, there is an A-level script called "Determination", in addition to doubling the price, it also needs the prop "Sharingan".

Are you going to poach Sasuke's eyeballs

It takes luck to cultivate a script writer by yourself, and even if a script writer is cultivated, you don't know what his talent will be? If you are unlucky, even if you complete all the training, there may only be an ordinary or even inferior script writer.

If good script writers were so easy to come by, scripts wouldn't be so expensive. Xia Huan had an adventure in Starlight City before he got an A-level script. If he bought it, the current Big Dipper can only afford a B-level script.

Zhou Yu's plan is to cooperate with a 2D agency before he has his own script writer. Luhua Village provided the venue, actor Xiao Muli, director Yang Kuai, photographer Qi Yulin and the filming team, and the other party provided other actors and scripts, so that self-made animation can be made.

However, this method is not very effective for companies with deep pockets. After all, not everyone is as poor as Beidou, who needs to borrow space from others several times. Especially Nan Dou, they have everything they want, they just want a talented rookie like Xiao Muli. It's not interesting if you can't get cooperation. Even if you want to cooperate, you have to wait for Xiao Muli to grow up to be famous enough, or it will become a newcomer for you

Having the qualifications of a genius does not necessarily mean that you will become famous. Many brokerage companies are not optimistic about Luhua Village, and giving some sponsorship is a good relationship. In fact, they are more expecting that Luhua Village will not be able to survive, and they can only sell Xiao Muli in the end.

Therefore, it is faster to cooperate with Xia Huan, once a stranger and twice acquaintance, if you are an old acquaintance, you can talk faster. Finding a new partner requires various negotiations, which is very troublesome. Unless the other party takes the initiative, it is difficult to contact them with Zhou Yu's personality.

In order to test the quality of the new animation, Zhou Yu immediately sent a message to Xia Huan, seeking cooperation. Beidou is better than other companies in that it has a legendary director Ling Daoran, and the quality of the actors is not bad. Even if you buy a B-level script, it is much better than the ones that are automatically generated by yourself.

It just so happened that Beidou also wanted to take advantage of "Fruit Pirates" to make another movie. Once the two sides came together, the cooperation intention was finalized.

Zhou Yu naively thought that a self-made movie would only take a day or two longer than a level 3 animation, and he just had to wait for the movie to finish with his legs crossed. But soon he understood that self-made movies are not something you can just want.

The next day, Xia Huan brought his team into Luhua Village. Zhou Yu arranged them to the animation base, selected all the scripts and personnel, and clicked 'Start Production'.

However, the animation base did not turn on a red light to indicate that it was working, nor did it show a countdown timetable for how much time was left to complete.

There was silence.

Strange, something went wrong right after the upgrade

The carpenter Beaver was called to make repairs, but after looking around, he shook his head and said that everything in the animation base was normal, which is strange.

After working for a long time, the hard-working North Wind team leader, who had just been recruited with Moecoin, said angrily: "Boss, can't we start work yet? Brothers are all waiting to work, you are forcing us Grinding foreign workers?"

It's not that you don't work, but that you don't know how to count as starting work.

In the end, the team leader finally explained clearly that the self-made animation really needs to be shot by oneself, from the studio to the location, and every step of the shooting, you need to make it yourself. That is to say, Zhou Yu needs to get a studio right away, make a model according to the needs of the plot, and then the director, actors and filming team will start shooting.

The process is the same as "Fruit Pirates", the era of watching animations while lying down is over.
