"You child, speaking is still too direct." Lin Yu immediately interrupted Zou Da's words, turned around and looked at Gao Leng apologetically: "I'm really sorry, Zou Da speaks like this, hey, he is pure Technicians, their brains are all technically advanced. If you don't understand this, the heart is good, don't care."

"I don't care, what he said is true." Gao Leng smiled a lot, took a bite of food, put it in his mouth and chewed: "I really don't have the money to do the combination of ink and wash animation and cg technology. "

Zou Da nodded frantically, and Lin Yu also smiled politely.

This is a fact.

Ink animation is the original animation created by the Empire. To construct a cartoon in the form of ink painting, it takes a few seconds to construct a hand-drawn cartoon to draw one or two hundred ink paintings. These two hundred ink paintings are connected to form a dynamic effect. So how many ink paintings does a two-hour cartoon need?

This does not include some paintings that are scrapped.

This is not something a cartoonist can do, it is often done by a cartoon team. Unlike other cartoons, landscape painting requires a strong drawing ability. A general cartoon can recruit one or two hundred people with one move. Take Hayao Miyazaki's cartoons as an example. His cartoonist team has more than two hundred people.

But cartoonists are good recruits, but people who can paint landscapes are hard to find.

Nowadays, there are not many young people who paint ink and wash paintings, and it is even rarer to paint well. The cartoonist team of optical components requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

Not to mention the combination with cg technology.

Hayao Miyazaki is a well-known cartoonist in Japan. The work he is still creating is the only work in his life that he has collaborated with cg technology. At the age of 76 this year, this is the first and only one to be released. The hand-painted, animated cartoon created with cg special effects technology will not be completed until 2019, and the whole process takes four to five years.

Japan’s cg special effects are okay, and there is also a cg special effects technical team. With a technical team, it will take so long, let alone an empire. Empire's cg special effects are the five cents special effects that are often jokes on the Internet. Don't say you are looking for a cg technical team with a hundred people, you are looking for an expert cg technician, I am afraid that only Zou Da.

It can be said that it is extremely difficult to realize a full-length ink-and-wash cartoon, let alone an ink-and-wash cartoon in cooperation with cg technology.

This requires an expert who is excellent in ink and wash painting. He not only has the ability to paint independently, but also has the imagination to make cartoons, and the ability to lead a large group of experts in ink and wash animation to paint together. In addition, The Empire also needs a large group of experts in cg technology to cooperate with it.

Experts who paint well in ink and wash painting, one or two are easy to find, but it is difficult to find more than two hundred masters. Any one of the latter conditions is extremely difficult.

"Then why not ask a foreign cg technical team to do it?" Xiao Shan was a little confused: "We only need to form a domestic ink and wash animation team, it will be much easier."

"Imperial ink and wash animation is the original creation of the Empire, and it is a national first-class technical secret. Although the tide went to the sea around 1986, many ink and landscape painting experts went to the sea and brought out the technology, let Japan and other countries learn some, but the most core painting method Still in the hands of the Empire, ink and wash animation will not cooperate with foreign cg teams." Gao Leng explained.

"So, if you want to make ink-and-wash animations and combine it with cg, don't you have to cultivate a cg team and an ink-and-wash animation team?!" Xiao Dan's eyes widened.

Either of these two teams is difficult. The ink and wash animation team needs time. It can start from the young painters in the painting academy. It takes years to train from a novice to being able to draw good ink paintings. The training time of a large ink painting team takes ten years.

The cg team needs money. There are many domestic teams that do cg special effects, all of which are spent on the money. They are still 50 cents special effects, not to mention that the high cold is to make exquisite cg, which can be said to be more than a billion yuan. You can't even see the splash.

"One or two tens of billions can build a decent cg company." Zou Da said, speaking easily, one or two tens of billions!

Xiao Shan swallowed hard, no wonder that Zou Da spoke directly. Gao Leng really didn’t have the money to play this, let alone Gao Leng. There is a project that combines ink and wash animation with cg in China. Even Su Su can’t do it. To.

As early as 1984, when Hayao Miyazaki came to the Empire eager to cooperate with China in ink-and-wash animation, even if he did not cooperate with cg technology, he cooperated with hand-painting this layer. It was said that it was an art that could be accomplished by the socialist state system: only socialism The country, the country is willing to invest in a project regardless of cost.

You want a company to invest in doing this regardless of cost, it is too difficult, too difficult.

What the Lianhuantai Group can't handle, what is the cooperation between Gao Leng and Zou Da? Xiao Shan thought to himself, instead of answering the conversation, he pricked his ears and listened with Lin Yu for a drink from time to time.

"Master Xing said, dreams are necessary, otherwise it is different from salted fish." Gao Leng's tone became serious, he looked at Zou Da and continued, "Tell me about our cooperation."

Lin Yu and Zou Da put down their bowls and chopsticks and became serious after listening.

I talked about my dreams, and drank the wine for so long. I felt a little bit about each other's temperament, and quickly got to the point.

“I invited Director Lin to formally join the director team of our Starlight Group. We will make a director’s organization and make a boutique TV series or a boutique movie.” Having said that, Gao Leng looked at Lin Yu and saw that she only smiled slightly. Laugh, shooting boutiques is not a project that attracts her very much. By her age and having been in this circle for so long, too many people say they want to cooperate with her to shoot boutiques.

"At the same time, I hope that the special effects of our Starlight Group's TV series can cooperate with Mr. Zou and your cg technology company, and it will be a permanent cooperation." Gao Leng said that, Lin Yu's eyes brightened, and the one that Gao Leng handed her This item is written in this information. Although I knew it for a long time, I still seemed very happy.

"This is great." Zou Da looked at Gao Leng gratefully like a long drought and the rain: "My technology company has been in a loss for three or four years. At that time, I thought that since I joined Hayao Miyazaki's team, Then my technology is excellent. If I set up a cg technology company in China, I should be able to get a job. I didn’t expect..."

"Unexpectedly, the film and television companies in mainland China will either cooperate with Europe and the United States to do tall special effects, or they will only pay 50 cents." Lin Yu took the conversation and pointed to Zou Da with a wry smile: "I want Xiao Zou to do 50 cents special effects, he said. I can’t afford to lose this person, and I’m afraid I’ll smash my own brand, and don’t do it. I have done a few MV special effects after three years of opening. The singers of these MVs have taken care of it when I know them.

If high is not low, it is not right. That's probably it.

"If Mr. Miyazaki knew that I was taking on the special effects of fifty cents outside, he would have blasted me out of the team." Zou Da scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and justified a few words for not doing special effects of fifty cents: "Mr. Gao, you know the industry so well, you must know the style of Mr. Hayao Miyazaki. What he hates most is that one thing is too watery. To do it, do the best."

Zou Da was very happy to hear Gao Leng's very positive intention to cooperate. You must know that if his cg technology company cooperates with Starlight Group for permanent cooperation, then it is a big customer.

"Mr. Gao, the three premium TV series you invested in this year don't need many special effects, right?" Lin Yu suppressed the joy in his heart, and said disapprovingly.

These three special effects are not much, that is, there are not many places where Zou Dan can make money.

"Although there are not many, we must see the best technology for any special effect." He was cold and neither humble nor overbearing. He held the wine glass in his hand for a few times and looked at Lin Yu and asked, "Mr. Lin, you have done this as a director. After a long time, I should know that if these three films are really well shot, they will make money, and they will make a lot of money. But it is not very profitable in the past two years. Zou’s company has lost money for three years. In the next two years, I can undertake some of our projects, and I can also raise the cg technology team together, which is a great thing for Zou."

Lin Yu stretched out her hand and pulled Qi'er's hair behind her ear.

"You are raising his cg technical team. This requires a lot of money. We have money..." Xiaodan was a little anxious, lowered his voice and pulled the corner of his clothes.

"You helped me raise my cg team?!" Zou Da was surprised when he heard it.

"Yes." Gao Leng nodded affirmatively: "Since my TV series want to work with you forever, then your team can't be separated, and you have to grow all the way. After all, my TV series have to be filmed all the time. I have all your people. I will keep it for you, and I will give you the project."

Zou Da couldn't believe it anymore.

"Mr. Gao, what do you need us to provide for your money and effort?" Compared to Zou Da's excitement, the experienced Lin Yu looked calmer.

There is no such thing as a pie in vain, there is more money than there is.

"I said, I only need you, Director Lin, to join our Starlight Group, become the director of our Starlight Group TV drama department, and be responsible for directing the "Weiwei" that I invested in, and the book you will see in the future."

"That's it?" Lin Yu was a little surprised.

The director of the TV drama department of Starlight Group, this position is naturally suitable for Lin Yu, who is now 65 years old, and filming a Weiwei is no problem for her. But she is 65 years old, and Gao Leng is willing to pay so much to Zou Da's cg technology company for a 65-year-old director, which makes Lin Yu unimaginable.

"Mr. Gao, you are raising Zou Da’s technical team. Although his team now has about ten people, these ten people are all highly paid. Now cg technology is not considered an expert level for these ten people. You are losing money like this." Lin Yu reminded.

After all, it had been a loss for three years before, otherwise the mention of this in Gao Leng's information would not make Lin Yu's heart fascinated.

"It's my business to lose money or not." Gao Leng smiled domineeringly: "When the time comes, the bank asks me for my life, and I ran away with a touch of my neck. It is also my business. In my concept, since I am If you want to shoot fine products, then you don’t have to think about the money. If you take a good photo, I will ask for money. Since I want to cooperate with Mr. Zou and be willing to raise his cg team, Mr. Zou only needs to study the technology. , Bring out the apprentice, I will ask for money."
