The Creator of the Second Dimension

"Is it finally time to start production?"

"The first ten episodes, the task is arduous."

"I'm going to be busy again, when will the work start?"

"Has the main production staff list for this time come out?"

More than a dozen team members talked about it, except for worries about the upcoming work, they were more looking forward to it.

Because maybe there is no one else in the world who loves animation more than them.

Being able to see new works and participate in the production is a kind of enjoyment in itself.

While Han Qingwen was excited, he was even more worried about whether he could do well.

The number of early episodes of an animation is very important, which represents how many people can be attracted to watch this work. If the early painting is broken and the rhythm is procrastinated, then no matter how good it is later, it will be limited.

Moreover, if the animation is broadcast in January next year, there is not much time left for them. The preparatory preparation and production must be completed within four months, and the cycle is a little tight.

The first ten episodes of "Once Upon a Time on Earth" are undoubtedly the most important, and being able to hand over to Lin Shuyi's original painting team is also a sign of trust in her.

"The director of the script and the main performance is Mr. Xu, the character design and the chief animation director are Qianqian, the producer, of course, is Cheng Ge, and the leader of each original painting team is the sub-painting director. This time it is almost a fantasy animation. All the elites."

Lin Shuyi said.

Director Martial Art has no chance to participate in the production of "Once Upon a Time on Earth" because "Sword of Ghost" is too popular and is planning the theatrical version and the second season next year.

It is said that Hatsune Games is also evaluating "Sword Demon Soul", and plans to adapt it into an action game with a linear process, which is not listed for the time being.

"Wow, great production."

Someone sighed.

Yi Qianqian has basically retired to the second line after giving birth to her child, and even went to play a guest voice actor in "White Box". As we all know, let alone the character design, it is very hard for the director to be the director and needs to be taken care of. Every step of the painting process, and "Once Upon a Time on Earth" has fifty-two episodes throughout the year, which means that Yi Qianqian has to keep working throughout the year without rest.

Xu Rui arranged for Yi Qianqian to be the chief animation director, which must have put a lot of effort into this animation, and everyone couldn't help but look forward to it.

"I won't gossip, our production will start tomorrow, and now I will distribute the storyboards of the first ten episodes."

Lin Shuyi patted the side of the meeting room, where there was a thick stack of manuscript paper.

"The first ten episodes?"

Han Qingwen couldn't help asking.

Generally speaking, animations are produced one episode at a time, and the original artists also get the storyboard scripts one episode at a time. Let’s not mention the process problems such as the arrangement of the painting cycle. Most of the storyboards and It is impossible for the performance director to take out so many storyboard drafts at once, which is the key to the problem.

"Well, what's the problem?"

Lin Shuyi asked rhetorically while distributing the storyboard.

"You have to be familiar with Director Xu's rhythm. He is the kind of character who won't do anything until everything is arranged properly. Sometimes we all feel that he is too cautious."

Wu Hongyan handed a storyboard draft to Han Qingwen and explained with a smile.

"Everyone can familiarize themselves with the storyboard draft today and understand the whole story. Tomorrow we will have a drawing meeting for the first episode. Well, if there is something you want to draw, you can bring it up at that time."

Lin Shuyi arranged again.

The original artist of the fantasy animation is quite free. If you want to draw a part of the original painting, you can directly propose it, and the team leader will make arrangements after evaluation. Even if the original artist wants to challenge the original painting by one person, he may agree if the world allows it. .

It is quite rare in the industry that there will be one original artist. Either the original artist is very good, or he has exhausted all his plans and can't find anyone.

For example, in the LIVE performance of "Songhai Idol is Legend" before, the original artist's one-person original painting skills were shown, which was well received.

The meeting explained some daily tasks. After the meeting ended, Han Qingwen took the script and returned to his seat.

The location of the first original painting group is on the second floor, and there are the second original painting group and the third original painting group. In addition to the original artists, they are Yi Qianqian and Xu Rui side by side, but everyone is not nervous about the boss working in front of them. Feeling, when it is time to fish, you will still fish.

Fantastic animation does not interfere with the work arrangements of the employees. Anyway, as long as the tasks can be completed on time and according to the quantity, it doesn't matter whether you fish for ten days and work for one day, or fish in the morning and work in the afternoon.

Even the company does not enforce regular clock-in and clock-out, and adopts flexible working hours, as long as you stay in the company for enough time every day.

It is precisely this kind of working atmosphere that makes Fantastic Animation the animation company that people in the industry most want to work for, none of them.

Not to mention that Xu Rui directly built a few buildings in the new community near the company. If the employees buy the houses here, the company can provide 30% of the housing subsidy, which is matched with the company's high salary and high benefits. Year-end share, basically graduated After working for three to five years, you can buy a house in Ningjiang by yourself.

Han Qingwen thought about it, and planned to put the time on the storyboard draft this afternoon.

According to Lin Shuyi's teaching, the original artist should not only think about doing their own duties, but should take a look at the overall situation and understand the direction of the whole story in order to better portray the characters. At the same time, they must also learn to think from the perspective of the director and the performance Only by solving the problem can we better understand the intention of the storyboard.

Therefore, Han Qingwen took it very seriously.

The first ten episodes of "Once Upon a Time on Earth" are the first half of the whole story.

Han Qingwen opened the storyboard, and the first thing he saw was a scene of surging students.

These students surrounded a professor and tried to argue with him about scientific matters, but they couldn't argue with the well-informed professor, so they used force, and the professor was finally stoned to death, just like the ancient Egyptians. Mathematician Hypatia.

And the professor's daughter witnessed all this.

As soon as the camera turned, a young man appeared in the frame, and the subtitles indicated that he was a materials scientist named Wang Miao.

He was found by the army and the police. One of them looked big and three thick, with a fleshy face. He introduced himself as the person in charge, named Shi Qiang.

They're here to investigate a suicide case.

After taking Wang Miao to a mysterious research institution, Shi Qiangcai told Wang Miao that a large number of cutting-edge scientists around the world have died recently, and almost all of them committed suicide. Some people suspected that this was an attack on the scientific community.

Wang Miao looked at the list of the dead, and he saw a familiar person.

The camera enters Wang Miao's memories, that was the first time he met this female scientist named Yang Dong, everything looked so beautiful, of course, Wang Miao did not have more intersections with the other party, Yang Dong later She has a fiancé named Ding Yi.

Shi Qiang told Wang Miao that they suspected that the deaths of these scientists were related to an international academic organization, and they wanted Wang Miao to join this organization as an undercover agent.

Wang Miao didn't agree immediately, he went to find Ding Yi, Ding Yi chatted with Wang Miao briefly, and gave Wang Miao an example to show why Yang Dong committed suicide.

Because in cutting-edge fundamental physics research, Yang Dong discovered that the results of each particle collision are completely random, which means that the laws of physics are not uniform in space and time.

In other words, the laws of physics are not universal in the universe.

Physics is dead.
