Big Manga

Of course, unlike before, when Meng Huo stayed in Yanjing for a few days, his residence was no longer a hotel, but the company headquarters of the 'Animation DreamWorks'.

In fact, from the end of March, "The Magician at the Beginning of the Century" has already started the official production process. Meng Huo was busy with the exam two days ago and didn't pay attention to it. Others knew his situation and didn't bother—but the exam As soon as it was over, Meng Huo immediately changed his mind.

In the afternoon when the final exam was over, although it was raining, Meng Huo still didn't stop at Yenching University, and returned to the film company early.

Bai Yan, who was on duty, had been waiting for him for a long time. As soon as she saw Meng Huo enter, she immediately walked over: "The exam is over?"

"Yeah." Meng Huo nodded, then smiled and said, "You can take me to see your results... But as I said before, my requirements may be higher than your imagination. If I am not satisfied, I will ask you to redo it." It's also normal."

Bai Yan smiled: "I saw this when I watched you make "Wine of Eternal Life"."

She and three other directors each go to Ninghai every week to help Meng Huo produce an episode of "Wine of Eternal Life". They say they are helping, but in fact they are just watching. Now the four of them have completed a round of rotation and witnessed the detailed production process of a complete episode of animation. Although the directors can't make it clear, at least they have an understanding in a big way.

So Bai Yan is very confident at this time——DreamWorks has produced several small clip animations, which can be checked by Meng Huo. The clips are really very small, each less than a minute on average, and the total There are only three. And one of them is a copy of the classic opening line of "Detective Conan".

Here is an explanation of the opening chapter of the animation of "Detective Conan". It is unique among all animations. At the beginning of almost every episode, the origin of the protagonist is explained, that is, the ins and outs of the gifted high school student becoming a child-this is a necessary opening chapter for new audiences to quickly understand the protagonist.

"The Magician at the Beginning of the Century" is of course no exception, and as a movie, it attracts more new audiences than animation. Without this opening chapter, many fans would not know why the protagonist is a child, and why would be so smart.

Of course, this task is very simple. The opening chapter of the animation is already very concise and deeply rooted in people's minds. You only need to copy it and insert it into the beginning of "The Magician at the Beginning of the Century". The key to copying is the clarity of the picture - animation and movies have different requirements for picture quality, so Meng Huo can analyze the picture quality of the whole movie through the picture quality at the beginning of this chapter.

The illustrators of DreamWorks did not disappoint him. After watching this opening introduction clip, Meng Huo found that the picture of "The Magician at the Beginning of the Century" had reached the level he expected, and even exceeded it.

This means that the tempering of the past month or so has paid off, and the characters have not been deformed. Tomato and Xi Wenlin's guidance has been very successful. The second and third clips also gave Meng Huo the same feeling, especially the third clip, which he liked very much.

"Your Phantom Thief Kidd is more gorgeous than I imagined..." He praised Bai Yan. The third clip is the scene of Phantom Thief Kidd being chased by the police at night. His white cloak turns into a hang glider, soaring freely between tall buildings.

That figure is chic and mysterious. It perfectly expresses the positioning of Kaitou Kidd - "bold and fearless, and extremely gorgeous at the same time". With the vivid urban night scene, Meng Huo feels very amazing.

This amazement is not just as simple as the picture. In fact, no matter how good the picture is, it will not surprise Meng Huo. Naturally, Kidd, the ghost thief from DreamWorks, cannot compare to the character he drew with his own hands. He was amazed not only by the up-to-standard pictures, but also by the portrayal of some shots.

Phantom Kidd's graceful movements, close-ups of his profile, and some use of lighting and backgrounds, etc. - the directors managed to incorporate some of their skills from live-action movies into this clip, and they know how to describe it well , What kind of lens can give the audience the deepest impression.

This was really beyond Meng Huo's expectations. He was delighted that these directors are really amazing and they are improving so fast! The same clip may become vulgar in the hands of others, but in the hands of these directors, it becomes very, very great!

He couldn't help but want to applaud these directors, but Meng Huo didn't do it. He was worried that if he praised too much, these directors would misjudge them, thinking that they had done a good job, so he put down his aggressiveness.

Bai Yan and the others have done a great job, but Meng Huo believes that they still need to continue to have a deeper contact with animation. They have not yet successfully transformed. When they understand animation and the form of expression of comics better-these directors produced Works, perhaps even Meng Huo has to bow down.

This is very possible. They are powerful professional directors. As long as they can understand manga and animation, the things they produce can easily surpass Meng Huo.

So while Meng Huo praised the clips, he also picked out the flaws that need to be improved, which made Bai Yan discover their shortcomings while being confident.

"We still have a lot to learn..." Bai Yan said with emotion after Meng Huo finished commenting on all the clips.

"You guys have made great progress, and I have a lot to learn." Meng Huo said sincerely. The speed of progress of several directors exceeded his expectations. He couldn't wait for them to surpass. While Bai Yan and the others were learning, Meng Huo also wanted to observe and learn some of their skills and ideas.

However, he finally gave Bai Yan an affirmative answer: "If you make "The Magician at the Beginning of the Century" at the current pace, it will probably become a successful work."

Although there are still a few problems, judging from the directors' learning and adaptation speed, Meng Huo feels that the progress of "The Magician at the Beginning of the Century" will probably be smoother and smoother in the next few months. No problem anymore.

And his work seems to have been reduced by more than half compared to the original expectation, and he doesn't even have to be named as a director. His director is similar to a supervisor, and "The Magician at the Beginning of the Century" seems to have no supervision... ...it doesn't matter...

A few directors' self-reforms were enough to deal with the bug-fixing needs of "The Magician of the Beginning of the Century."

Of course he thought so, and Meng Huo didn't dare to take it lightly. The smooth progress now does not mean that there will be no accidents in the future. He must maintain basic vigilance. (To be continued...) R1292
