Chapter 1661： The changing times of cartoons

The genius remembers the address of the site for one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! Kasenberg did not say everything.

Yin Jun dug him over and gave him two scripts in addition to those above.

One is called "Toy Story".

The other is called "Shrek".

The two scripts are very interesting, they are not naive descriptions to tell the stories children watch.

In Kasenberg's view, this is exactly the use of these animated characters to describe reasoning to adults.

Then it's unprecedented stereo animation, also known as 3D animation.

3D animation is not uncommon, it has taken shape as early as 20 years ago.

Even 3D movies were booming more than a decade ago.

But in Kasenberg's view, neither of these two Disney animations is fully prepared.

For this 3D animation, Disney has worked hard for more than three years, using a computer to design various production programs, just to 3D all the characters and scenes-this is a very essential difference from the previous pseudo 3D .

Coupled with WIN2.0 developed last year, it greatly enriched the knowledge of designers, allowing them to put some of their design procedures on WIN2.0 for development.

The window system is like a carrier. As long as you understand its source code, it is easier to develop programs.

Yin Jun knew this long ago, so when WIN 2.0 came out, he sought a lot of software for animation production from software design companies around the world.

It's just a buyout, the price is starting from 100,000 US dollars, and the price is not capped.

If it is really good, tens of millions of dollars is not impossible to discuss.

This is the same as Yin Jun who has spared no effort to acquire IMAX technology and 3D technology in these years, and sends the same message to the technology companies all over the world.

"I have money. If you have a technology patent, just bring it."

All of Yin Jun ’s revenue in North America, especially the previous Disney TV channel, totaled $ 1.5 billion. When the headquarters was so difficult, it did n’t move, because it was used for the acquisition of various technologies and software.

This kind of spending at the cost of blood has finally yielded results.

Kasenberg saw the hundreds of computers in Disney ’s animation department, and saw the skilled artists use computers to create pictures, coloring, scenery, etc., and finally decided to join this era-changing initiative. Come.

When the cartoon "Toy Story" was produced in 1995, it not only created a cartoon box office record, but also created another technological progress.

That is that it is a full-length animation made by computer.

Its producer is Kasenberg.

He convened more than one hundred people and worked with the very famous Pixar studio at that time. It took a whole year to complete this masterpiece.

"Toy Story" did not disappoint Disney.

With a super high box office of 190 million, it became the box office champion of North America in 1995.

Globally, it has swept more than 350 million yuan, and was also the global box office champion that year.

Prior to this, only the two films "Lion King" and "Aladdin" had won such an honor.

After the success of "Toy Story", Disneyland has also added related items.

This is the appreciation of it.

There are so many Disney animation projects, but not every one can have a separate project in Disneyland.

In fact, "Toy Story" did not disappoint Disney's love.

In "Toy Story 2" four years later, the box office was actually higher than the first episode, reaching 245 million US dollars, and the global box office also reported 485 million US dollars.

In addition to the bumper harvest, "Toy Story 2" has become the first sequel in history to make more money than the first episode.

Basically, "Toy Story" is based on the plot structure, and it has also affected many future animated movies.

For example, such super-selling movies as "Pet Secrets", "Crazy Animal City", "Nemo" and so on, all of us work together so that we can rely on the collective power to achieve the final success.

So far, "Toy Story" has only published three, but its pioneering significance and strong influence have already become a monument.

If "Toy Story" is an orthodox king's work, then another "Shrek" by Yin Jun is a typical sword-and-blade work.

If you use the popular words in mainland China to describe, "Shrek" is a typical Diao Si counterattack story.

Dirty, lazy, and timid Shrek can all be favored by beautiful princesses, so what other reason do we have to doubt this world?

Coupled with interesting plot structure, humorous and sarcastic language, the $ 267 million North American box office of "Shrek" directly broke the box office record of "Lion King", which is also reasonable.

Americans like this tone.

Before Yin Jun returned, "Shrek" made a total of five films, making it the world's most popular animated film series.

So Yin Jun handed over "Shrek" to Disney in advance so that they could prepare in advance.

After "Toy Story" is completed, "Shrek" can be slowly produced.

Yin Jun provided Disney with not only so many computer facilities, but also more and better animators and artists.

Including artists and animators who come from China for internship and training, they all work with Disney colleagues to seriously learn how to use computers to draw pictures, frame systems, and complete the production of world views.

The animation film in the mainland of the former Shihua has not been up for more than 20 years since it was dumped in the 1990s.

There is a rare "Return of the Great Saint", but it is only that one, and there is still a lack of flowers like Hollywood.

This is not because domestic animation people are reluctant to make such a good movie.

There are too many difficulties.

The biggest difficulty is that we have been behind for many years. Many advanced technologies and concepts have no way to connect with them. We can only explore it slowly by ourselves, and use the thinking and technology behind more than ten years to make production slowly.

"The Return of the Great Saint" took seven or eight years from planning to release, it was for this reason.

Of course, the other reason is to burn money.

For those big foreign animation movies, it is tens of millions of dollars in production costs-US dollars!

Not to mention anything else, it created the first "Toy Story" of computer animation. It does not count any other promotion and operation costs, it used 30 million US dollars!

Calculated according to the exchange rate at that time, it was 240 million yuan!

Can the production of "The Return of the Great Sage" produced 20 years later cost RMB 240 million?

Half of them are okay! !

The average production time of each frame is about 6 hours!

At 24 frames per second, how many hours did it take for people to see what you saw in one second?

Wouldn't it be nice to see an animation made with such careful and detailed money-burning?

Not to mention the burning of money, after all, the labor cost in China is much cheaper.

To put it bluntly, the cost of overtime is more than half lower than that of the United States. In many cases, it is not calculated.

Especially in this era.

The animation in the mainland is now in full swing.

Yin Jun gave them two animations in a row, and now he is preparing to join the third and fourth series.

The animation giants such as Shangmei Factory and other Chinese nations are all flexing their muscles, preparing to make the animation well and making a lot of money.

However, in Yin Jun's view, this is far from enough.

The future is the era of computer animation. Hand-drawn animation will eventually decline because it is too complicated. At most, it will just do some simple animation.

If you want to make the best and the best cartoons, you must use computers, software, workstations, advanced servers and so on.

You can't operate these things, how to make cartoons?

Now in the United States, these technologies and software have just been developed, and artists and animators in the United States have just learned.

So just right, Yin Jun sent the group of 2040-year-old artists and animators in mainland China in batches to let them learn with the Americans in advance.

If it is invented and created in modern times ~ www.novelhall.com ~ The thinking of Chinese people has been imprisoned for a long time, it may be worse.

But when it comes to learning knowledge and applying it to practice, Chinese people can proudly say that we are not inferior to anyone.

Whatever we learn from the beginning, we must be able to learn extremely skilled in the end.

The reason why future generations did not do well in animation production is not because we have not learned enough, but because our money is not enough.

Can't afford those expensive facilities, nor can they afford those expensive production costs, so dare not dare to invest in them.

Now Disney is Yin Jun, and these devices are also developed or purchased by Yin Jun himself.

After these people finish their studies, Yin Jun will naturally send a full set of facilities to Shangmei Factory and other places.

Do n’t get me wrong, it ’s not for them.

For giving away things for no reason, they will only develop the psychology of gaining nothing for them.

So this is what Yin Jun lent to these factories, the purpose is to let them make cartoons.

um, yes.

"The Return of the Great Saint".

This work was supposed to be 30 years later, and Yin Jun plans to make it in the 1980s.

The cartoon doesn't need to have a deep sense of fit in the times, because it belongs to the story of the gods and ghosts.

Of course, they did not go back to production now, although they have been studying for half a year.

Because the production team of "Toy Story" has them.

Only by applying what you learn can you make up for the deficiencies you find in your work, and you can also tap your own potential.

When next year, "Toy Story" is almost done, they will return to the mainland and start making their own animation.

After "The Return of the Great Saint", there is still a very worthwhile animation waiting for them.

How could the chubby panda not appear in front of a global audience?
