Chapter 776: Renovation and upgrade (seeking subscription)
Chapter 776 Renovation and Upgrade (for subscription)
Modeling is so old!
This is a question that Huang Kun focused on when reporting on his work.
He pointed out that the animation "Pigman" series has been born for a long time. So far, three TV animation works have been broadcast including "Brave in the Future City".
The first "Magic Pigs" was not particularly obvious. Even at that time, the 3D modeling of this animation was quite good, at least better than the works of the same period.
When it came to the second "Olympus Fantasy", in order to restore the character image of "GGBond" to the greatest extent, the production team actually continued to use the character modeling of the first season.
Of course, it was okay in that period.
But in the production of the third season of "Brave into the Future City", if we continue to use the modeling of the previous two seasons and want to "save some money" in this regard, it will appear to be a big problem.
"The third season is okay, I can barely watch it."
Huang Kun spread his hands and said: "I'm thinking, if we want to make the fourth and fifth seasons, or if the "Pigman" series wants to continue, then we must solve this problem."
3D modeling should change!
A model has been used for so long, and it really should be updated. Otherwise, even if the audience likes Pigman, seeing such an old and backward character model, it is inevitable that the production team will cut corners.
"It's true..."
Gu Miao nodded, agreeing with Huang Kun's statement. For old animations like "Pigman", it is really time to upgrade the asset allocation in the new era.
After all, even old animations like "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" have updated their style of painting in the latest work.
The "Pigman" series has been with children for several years, and it is time to update, and the audience must understand.
If it's just an upgrade...
"Pigman" has been upgraded, so other old animations, or once old animations, now want to develop new animations for sequels, should they also follow up?
This is no small expense!
As we all know, animation production has a saying of "asset volume", and in 3D animation production, character modeling, lighting scenes, etc. are all assets.
These "old" assets are all abandoned at once, and a batch of new assets are rebuilt. Let alone the workload, the budget expenditure is enough to cause headaches.
"The fourth season is still early, no rush!"
Gu Miao prevaricated: "Let's make do with this first, I'll go back and discuss with Lao Zhang to see what should be done about this matter."
"Well, you can think about it."
After Huang Kun finished speaking, he said to Gu Miao who was about to get up and leave: "But I still say the same thing. If this problem is not resolved, there will be no follow-up to the "Pigman" series."
No follow-up?
After returning to her office, Gu Miao thought about it seriously, her eyebrows knit into a ball unconsciously.
Is the Pigman series important?
It’s important, but it’s not that important. After all, Wanbao now has a lot of IPs, and it’s not bad for these three melons.
But if you really want to say it’s not important, it’s actually quite important. After all, the "Pigman" series has been with you for so long, and there are still many old fans...
The foundation of Wanbao Animation, or the core asset, is actually the support of these fans.
Abandoning a pigman is equivalent to abandoning a large number of loyal fans and customers. In a sense, this loss is more heartbreaking than a simple "money loss".
So, do you need to consider this?
Although there were all kinds of messy ideas, Gu Miao finally decided to upgrade the assets from "Brave in the Future City" as much as possible without affecting the quality of the work.
No need to wait for Season 4...
Anyway, we have to upgrade, and "Brave into the Future City" has not yet aired, so start upgrading from this season.
Whether it is the modeling or the background that needs to be refurbished, all of them are refurbished, and the soundtrack of the new theme song is all refurbished.
Isn’t it just money, take it away!
…
It is not only Huang Kun and the production team of "Pigman 3" who have encountered the same difficulty. Wanbao is currently in production, or planning to produce many "sequels" that also need to be upgraded.
This includes many works such as "Detective Conan", "Sailor Moon", "Happy Baby", "Digimon", "Yu-Gi-Oh", "Prince of Tennis" and "Pokemon".
Wanbao has many sequels.
However, compared with original or adapted new works, the status of the sequel project in Wanbao is not very high, and the resource allocation is not strong enough.
This time, Mr. Gu personally approved to allow multiple "sequels" to upgrade assets, and most people in the company were very excited.
Of course, excitement belongs to excitement.
Not all of these sequels will be shot this year, and it is even more impossible to start so many renovation and upgrading plans at one go, so they are "queuing up one by one".
Time came to July.
The number of broadcasted episodes of the animation "Bear Infested" has reached more than 60 episodes, and the stable ratings are gradually loosening, and there is a trend of continued growth.
At the same time, the Wanbao Cup National Open Tennis Tournament also officially started. Representatives from 35 middle schools gathered in Jiangchuan, and under the witness of the notary staff, they selected groups representing their respective schools.
Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School, as the champion of East China, enjoys the "seed" team qualification, can be exempted from the group stage, and start directly from the knockout stage of the top 16.
The remaining 28 schools will be divided into four groups of ABCD according to the order of signing, with 7 teams in each group, and the round-robin Bo1 group ranking competition will be played in turn.
The top two in the final group will directly advance to the top 16 list, and between the third place in the group, there will be an additional 4 out of 1 resurrection match, and the winner will also enter the top 16.
The rules are very simple, the schedule is very tight, the players work hard, and the audience is very happy...
The group stage started at the beginning of July and lasted until the end of July. The follow-up resurrection match and the 16-to-8 knockout round were even arranged until the beginning of August.
Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School's first knockout match was against Rongcheng Middle School from the Southwest Division. Gu Miao was planning to go to the match to cheer for Shen Chao in person, but there was no way...
Just a time conflict!
The competition was held on the day when the movie "The Lion King" premiered in China.
As Wanbao Animation has done so far, it is the most expensive animation film with the largest investment and the highest expectations. Of course, the premiere of the film is more important.
Anyway, with the strength of Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School, there must be no suspense in defeating the little-known Rongcheng Middle School. It doesn't matter whether you watch the game or not.
With a happy mood, Gu Miao dressed in formal attire and brought Du Hao, Lao Zhang, Ma Kui and others to the premiere of the movie "The Lion King" held in Jiangchuan.
The premiere is not limited to this one.
Because of the global release of "The Lion King", there are actually two premieres, one in Jiangchuan and one in Hollywood.
For the premiere on the Hollywood side, the partner led some members of the creative team to join in the show, while the premiere on the Jiangchuan side was attended by Gu Miao and the director Du Hao.
"This is also a kind of disagreement!"
Boss Xiong, who was invited to come here, said to Gu Miao in a sly way: "The reason why there are two places and two premieres, I think it must be because you didn't agree with each other?"
"You know too much!"
Gu Miao said angrily: "If you don't know how to speak, just say a few words, I asked you to cheer me up, not to let you tear me down!"
"I see…"
"Don't worry, since I promised to support you, then I will definitely not let you down." Mr. Xiong winked and said, "I have already urged my overseas fans to watch "The Lion King"!"
Do you still have overseas fans?
Gu Miao was about to complain, when she suddenly thought of something, with the popularity of many cult animations, it seems that Mr. Bear really has a lot of fans overseas?
Outrageous!
Showing a dumbfounding expression, Gu Miao immediately explained: "Forget it, I don't like the box office provided by your fans."
What he wants is the global weekly box office champion! As for this result, it is obvious that Little Bear can't help, and it won't work for anyone, so the only way to break through is by the quality of the movie.
Can The Lion King do it?
Even if he is confident in the quality of the animation and has made a plan in advance, when the movie is released, he still has no idea.
After all, the original version of "The Lion King" is the first animated film in North American film history with a box office of over 300 million and a global box office of nearly 1 billion...
I used to think that it would be cool to have a Shenhao system or rebirth time travel, but now I feel that being free from disease and disaster is the rarest and happiest thing in the world.
