Chapter 1282: We Can Cross Over!
Pei Qian smiled. “Technology accumulation… cannot be forced.”
“Since we don’t have any technical accumulation, we can also choose not to learn from traditional animation workspaces. We can use new thods to do it.”
Wu Chuan was a little confused. “A new way?”
There were many ways to classify comics. Simply put, they could be directly divided into 2D and 3D. Traditional 2D animations were mainly Japanese, while most dostic animation workspaces were made into 3D.
The core difference between these two comics was that the forr was a hand-drawn picture, the latter was a model, tied up the movents, and the animator would adjust the movents of each scene, create special effects in the later stages, and so on.
2D was more expensive than 3D but it still depended on the genre.
2D was purely hand-drawn. The artist’s manpower expenditure was huge. However, if 3D wanted to be particularly detailed, they would also have to spend a lot of money to render it. It was just like the CG in the ga. If it was really done well, the expenses would not be limited.
3D was only referring to it being cheaper because it could be reduced in quality. Even if it was bad, it would be average and not so easy to be discovered.
2D animation had to be done one by one after all. It was easy to collapse if they cut corners. 3D rarely had such a serious collapse that was intolerable.
It was also for this reason that dostic animation workspaces were still mainly 3D. On one hand, there were not enough talents in 2D animation. On the other hand, 3D animations were relatively easy to control. Many low-cost 3D animations could also ensure the most basic quality and beco popular under the premise that the script was not bad.
It was definitely not possible for Tengda to make 2D because there were not many talents related to it in the entire dostic circle. They could not possibly spend money to poach people overseas, right?
On the whole, 3D would be easier. Wu Chuan had originally wanted to buy dostic 3D animation workspaces, but Boss Pei was not satisfied with these workspaces.
What was the new thod?
After a mont of silence, Pei Qian said, “We can use the ga’s imdiate calculation thod to make comics. It’s similar anyway.”
“After all, technology is developing so quickly now. There’s no need to keep holding onto the past.”
“‘Mission and Choice’ is a good attempt.”
Wu Chuan was stunned. “This…”
It sounded feasible, but on further thought, it did not seem feasible.
However, it did not seem completely impossible.
It was almost equivalent to a cell phone manufacturer making electric scooters. They had similarities, but the connection was not that strong.
Wu Chuan hesitated for a mont before saying, “Boss Pei, the ga’s imdiate calculation of CG is still significantly different from ani. I’m afraid it won’t be very effective to force it.”
“Our ga’s model is very precise now. It cannot be compared to the precision of those animated films that cost more than a hundred million yuan. However, it is more than enough to compare with ordinary 3D animations.”
“However, relatively speaking, the CGs in the ga are very fragnted. The ti is very short, and there are very few lines. It mainly plays the role of connecting the ga plot. Therefore, it is actually a state of playing to one’s strengths and avoiding one’s shortcomings.”
“If we really want to use this thod to make comics, it doesn’t seem like… there’s such a precedent.”
Wu Chuan did not have a clear idea of whether this thod would work.
In theory, it was definitely possible to do it. Tengda had accumulated talent in this area. It would not be a big problem to transfer a portion of people from the gas departnt to form an animation studio.
However, the main problem was the details.
For example, the investnt and output ratio of this workspace, the cost of production was proportional to the inco it would generate after production.
Tengda’s gas could invest a huge sum of money because there were enough players to support the ga. Once the sales volu increased, they could recoup their costs.
However, not many people would be willing to pay for ani.
Another example was how to handle so details during the production process.
‘Executer Academy’ was a relatively relaxed and humorous script. It was directly related to the heroes in GOG. Wu Chuan’s original idea was to let the dostic 3D animation workspaces do it.
However, if they were to use the ga’s transition thod, would these hero characters have to be remodeled? Would they have to find motion capture actors to act? What if they did not act well?
On one hand, it would not be easy to control the cost if he were to do it himself. On the other hand, it would not be easy to grasp the revision of the script and so details.
Wu Chuan briefly explained these questions.
It was not that he felt that Boss Pei knew nothing about this. The main reason was that no matter how erudite a person was, there would always be things that they were not good at. Wu Chuan felt that as a subordinate, he had to remind him a little. After all, this was a huge matter. It was the most expensive plan for him to build an animation studio.
Whether it was spending money to hire others to do it or spending money to buy over an animation studio, it might be less difficult than building it himself.
Pei Qian could not help but smile slightly.
Difficult? That’s great!
I love such difficult gas!
After a mont of silence, he asked, “Let ask you this. If you build your own studio, can you guarantee that at least one episode will be released in four months? The ti for this episode can be long or short. Even fifteen minutes would be considered an episode.”
‘Executer Academy’ was more like a light cody. An episode should not be too long or it would look draggy. What’s more, it would make the audience tired of watching it.
Fifteen to twenty minutes would be enough. A few updates might make the audience feel better.
The reason why Pei Qian asked this was to confirm if this thing would affect the settlent cycle. Everything would not be a problem if it did not affect it.
Wu Chuan pondered for a mont. “Boss Pei, are there no restrictions? For example, in terms of quality and plot content…”
“Of course, it would not be a problem if there were no restrictions. In fact, it would be more than enough to create the finished product with the transfer of so people from the gas departnt and so outsourced work.”
“The only thing to worry about is the cost, final effect, and profits.”
Pei Qian had a rough idea now. “Don’t worry about that!”
“Don’t save on the cost. Since we’re trying a new path, we should be bold and make mistakes. If you don’t have enough money, ask .”
“It’s expected that the initial effect would not be good. We can adjust it slowly. As the saying goes, one learns from one’s mistakes. It will slowly get better.”
“As for the profit problem, there is no need to worry. As long as the quality is high, we will be able to find a way to make profits.”
“As for the difference between the ga’s CG and 3D animation, that is indeed a problem.”
“However, I feel that at the end of the day, this is a question of perspective.”
“Why are many ga companies doing very well in CG but not making animations? Why are many animation companies so capable but not making gas?”
“At the end of the day, it’s because they’re used to the original field. It’s the safest, and crossing over ans uncertainty and risk. They’re unwilling to take this risk.”
“However, I feel that different art forms are interconnected. There’s nothing bad about trying to cross over. Even if you don’t succeed, you can always get so inspiration from it. It might be helpful for your future work.”
“That’s why we have to do this even more because no one else does!”
Wu Chuan was a little dumbfounded and his expression froze.
Why did it feel like what Boss Pei said was ridiculous but reasonable?
Most companies would indeed choose the safest way to earn money for themselves. That was right.
It was just like how many people asked why there were huge investnts and high risks in AAA gas. Dostic ga manufacturers were not willing to do it, but foreign manufacturers were producing it as frequently as if it was annual produce?
Was it because foreign ga manufacturers were more noble than dostic gas?
Of course, this was very one-sided.
That was because, compared to gas with paywalls that charged props, 3A gas were the most familiar and easiest way to earn money. Forcefully making gas with paywalls might ruin their reputation and incur losses.
On the other hand, for dostic producers, a 3A masterpiece was a high-risk model, while gas with paywalls were a low-risk model because their target group and market were more inclined to gas with paywalls.
After tasting the sweetness of gas with paywalls, so foreign manufacturers were very ruthless. They were not worse off than dostic manufacturers. This ant that many manufacturers wanted to earn this money. They simply had evil intentions but did not have the courage to do so.
It was not that many manufacturers could not do it, but they could avoid risks.
Since making gas made a lot of money and already had a relatively mature profit model, why should he invest a huge sum of money into animation? Wouldn’t it be good to have the money to continue producing gas?
Even if they were to cross over, they would definitely play around and not invest huge sums of money rashly.
However, Boss Pei obviously did not think so.
Boss Pei was a person who loved taking risks. He always liked to try to make a breakthrough in art while constantly crossing over.
Perhaps the reason why he emphasized using the ga’s thod to create comics this ti was because he did not want to follow along with the existing experience. Instead, he hoped to use this cross-border thod to find so new inspiration.
After all, if he handed this script to the animation studio, the things that they produced would definitely be relatively traditional and conservative. There would not be so many unconstrained changes.
However, the problem was that Wu Chuan did not think he had the ability…
He was not even the person-in-charge. He was just an ordinary employee in Fei Huang Workspace. He felt that he had endured too much pressure that he should not have.
However, the first thing that had to be clear in Tengda’s work was that Boss Pei’s requirents had to be fulfilled at all costs. This was the core of the Tengda spirit that every employee had to understand.
At last, Wu Chuan reluctantly nodded. “Alright, Boss Pei. I’ll do my best.”
Pei Qian was very satisfied. “Yes, very good. Don’t be afraid of spending money. If you need anything, let know at any ti!”
