Dad Academy

The animation production process is very complex and slow, completely different from the filming of live-action movies and TV series.

In movies and TV series, once the project is started, the team will work together day and night, working hard for several months, and finish the project in one go.

But that’s not the case with animation projects.

This is a process that lasts for two to three years, or even four to five years. Just like car manufacturing, the manufacturing process is meticulous to every detail and interlocking. Each person is responsible for one or several of the links. When their own link is completed, , the project is over for him, and it will be a few years before he can see the finished product.

Live-action film and television has a heavier artistic component, while animation has a heavier industrial component.

Zhang Tan is facing such a problem now. After the script writing is completed, his task in "Under the Tianyu Mountain" is basically over.

After the screenwriting stage, the next stage is the drafting and production process, which has nothing to do with him.

Zhang Tan really wants to participate in the whole process and understand the complete process of animation production, but the process is too long. Even if "Under the Tianyu Mountain" is a season broadcast, the earliest the first episode can be seen on the Internet is at the end of the year. , there is still more than half a year left.

Luo Ming is the editor-in-chief, and he still has to follow up on the next step and deal with various temporary changes with the director. He needs to follow the group.

Zhang Tan, as a screenwriter's assistant, had nothing to do.

After having some free time from work, Zhang Tan concentrated on running his own public account. Over the next period of time, he successively released five film analysis videos under the name "Wei Guan Zhi Zhi".

Thanks to the recommendation of the Xilili website and the fact that the video quality is always guaranteed, Zhang Tan's fans increased from 80,000 to 120,000, becoming a popular little UP owner.

However, no advertisers have come forward yet.

Someone else came to the door.

A real estate agency called Zhang Tan and asked if he had any intention to sell Little Red Horse Academy.

When Zhang Tan received the call, his first thought was not whether he was willing to sell, but he was extremely curious, how did the other party know his phone number?

"Where did you get my phone number?"

"Sir, you have registered an account on the XXX real estate agency website."

"I didn't fill in my phone number."

"Yes, you may have forgotten."

Zhang Tan wasn't sure either, so he stopped worrying about the issue. He chatted with the other party and got a general understanding of the market. He didn't say he agreed to sell or not to sell.

After hanging up the phone, I thought something was wrong and opened the real estate agency account I had registered. There was no phone number on it. This person was lying just now. I don’t know where he got his phone number from, and he actually knew he wanted to sell the house. .

Personal information is really not protected at all.

He got up to boil water to make tea and opened the office window to get some fresh air. The water of the cultivated pothos has just been changed, and it is full of green. The branches and leaves have sprouted new shoots in the past two days and are full of vitality. The prickly pear is the most worry-free, don't worry about anything, and keep away from strangers.

During this period of time, Luo Ming spent very little time in the office. Most of the time, he took his computer with him and stayed with the director and other project staff. Zhang Tan followed him for a few days to observe and learn.

On this day, when he was about to get off work, Luo Ming came back. Seeing Zhang Tan was still there, he said, "Are you free? Let's have dinner together tonight."

Zhang Tan just planned to go to the "Xinfu Koufu" where he had eaten last time for dinner. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Okay."

"Do you eat seafood?"

"Quite like."

"Okay, then let's go eat seafood. I know a restaurant that tastes very good. You'd better take my car."

"I drove here today."

Luo Ming was stunned for a moment. He always knew that Zhang Tan took the subway to work, so he thought he had no money. After all, he was a recent graduate.

The two came to the restaurant and ordered food. Halfway through the meal, Luo Ming said: "Now that the "Under the Tianyu Mountain" project is on track and the script has been polished, you will have a lot less to worry about."

Zhang Tan nodded and said: "I am really not used to being free all of a sudden. Now is the time for me to participate in more projects and experience."

Luo Ming: "I heard that the company has a new project to start. Are you interested?"

Zhang Tan finished the food in his mouth, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, and said firmly: "Of course I'm interested."

"The company is going to adapt a comic and make it into animation. It will immediately select people internally to change the script. The leadership intends to let new people do it as a training. If you are interested, I recommend you to sign up tomorrow."

Zhang Tan understood immediately upon hearing this that experienced and qualified screenwriters were not interested in this kind of comic-animation project, so it was appropriate to hand it over to newcomers.

It was indeed very suitable for him now, so Zhang Tan said without hesitation, "I want to give it a try."

"Just give it a try. You have enough ability. In this way, I will recommend you as soon as I get to work tomorrow. There should be no problem, but you have to be prepared to compete. There will definitely be others who sign up. Whoever is selected will be the winner. It depends on each person’s abilities.”

Luo Ming understood the intention of his superiors, who wanted to use this small project to discover new screenwriters and see who could take the lead.

Zhang Tan filled Luo Ming's juice and said, "As long as there is a chance, I am not afraid of competition."

Luo Ming: "The comic to be adapted is called "Lampburner", have you read it?"

Zhang Tan: "I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it."

"Research it carefully."

After dinner, the two separated.

When Zhang Tan was driving home, he passed by West Chang'an Street. The streets were very lively. There were men and women in casual and fashionable clothes, as well as urban white-collar workers in suits and ties who had just gotten off work.

The feasting and feasting, the handsome men and beautiful women, make people want to go home.

Zhang Tan was driving slowly and saw a familiar figure on the roadside. She was a woman, carrying a small stool in one hand and a cloth bag in the other.

He had seen this figure at the gate of Little Red Horse Academy the day before yesterday. It was Xiaobai's aunt.

But he was not sure whether the one in front of him was the one in front of him, because he could only see the back and not the front. In other words, he only saw the back of Aunt Xiaobai that day.

He had never seen Xiaobai's uncle and aunt in so many days. Every time he came to pick her up, it was already late at night and early in the morning, and he was already asleep by then.

As he drove, he watched his aunt, who was suspected of being Xiaobai, go away. He saw her parked in front of a jewelry store, placing a small stool on the ground and soliciting customers to shine shoes.

Someone from the jewelry store came out and said a few words to her, and she moved her position away from the door.

Parking the car in the parking lot, Zhang Tan walked through the streets and alleys. Adults and children were sitting under the street lamps enjoying the shade, and cats and dogs were running around at his feet.

Someone saw Zhang Tan and took the initiative to say hello: "Master Zhang is back."

Zhang Tan responded with a smile: "It's Zhang Tan, just call me Zhang Tan."

As he greeted people and left, he heard people behind him talking about him, why he had changed so much, and whether he was the same Zhang Tan...
