Chapter 736 Sample
After a brief greeting, Bifang asked, "Are you going out now?"
Brand nodded: "Yes, Morgan will receive you, and I will receive Etienne."
"Etienne? He's coming, too?"
"We have also invited him. After all, this is a movie with two male protagonists, and they will be getting off the plane soon. If you don't mind, you can let Morgan take you to visit our studio first, and then watch the sample film when everyone is here."
"Do you have sample films?" Bifang was surprised. He originally thought that they were just here to take a simple look at the image design and plot or something, but he never expected that Disney's speed would be so fast?
"Of course, we are professional in animation films."
Knowing that someone familiar was coming made the journey seem more relaxing.
Morgan also introduced most of the studio's situations, which opened the eyes of Bifang and Yao Jun and gave them a deep understanding of the internal situation of the world's number one animation production company.
The production of an animated film consists of approximately five stages, the first of which is project approval.
From finalizing the script, raising investment, selecting a team, to obtaining permission, these are all part of the first phase.
And because it is adapted from a real case and is highly adaptable, it is not difficult to finalize the script, as only some changes need to be made to the background and characters .
As for the issues of investment and team, there is no need to worry. As the world's number one company, there are plenty of people willing to spend money . Instead, those who pay the money have to see if they are qualified, so the progress is rapid.
The second stage is the early creative stage, which is mainly divided into four parts: main creative decision-making, art design, recording, and storyboard production. It basically involves drawing what each person looks like and some fixed movements. This is what Morgan and his colleagues have been doing over the past period of time.
After that comes the main body of film production, which is the third stage, making it into animation.
The fourth stage is color grading, subtitling, and dubbing, which only takes one or two months.
The fifth stage is obviously the final promotion.
"So our production process for this film is very fast. We are already in the late stage of the mid-production process. Most of the film images can be presented, and we even have samples. Of course, we have to sign a confidentiality agreement before watching it."
4 Morgan handed over two contracts. There was only one contract and the content was very simple, which was that after watching the movie sample, the two of them could not do any form of spoilers or filming, etc.
In short, you can't let others know the content.
This kind of confidentiality agreement can be found in many places. After signing it with ease, Morgan took the two of them into a small screening room, but did not start the screening. Instead, they waited for Etienne to arrive.
After waiting for about another quarter of an hour, a familiar figure appeared in front of everyone. Following behind Brand were Elwan and Etienne, father and son!
"Professor Erwan, long time no see."
"Fang! Long time no see. I've seen the Arctic Journey. It really makes me sigh at the ability of human beings to survive. Where are you going next? I think there is no environment on Earth that can trouble you. Is it the Mariana Trench?"
"I haven't decided yet. A hundred days is too long. I want to rest for a while. Maybe the Mariana Trench is the best place to go?"
Etienne hit Bifang on the shoulder: "Hey, there's me too! Fang! Are you pretending not to see me?"
Bifang then turned his gaze over, looked him up and down, and raised his eyebrows: "Etienne, have you grown a little taller?"
At the beginning of the wild geese's journey, Etienne was about 1.7 meters tall, or maybe a little less, and he still looked a bit boyish. But now he looks definitely over 1.75 meters tall, and his boyish look is transforming into that of a young man.
He just looks a little thinner.
I saw it again when I went to the Arctic Circle to watch geese last year, but the changes were not too big at that time and did not attract attention. But after half a year, the changes became obvious.
Etienne laughed, obviously very satisfied with his own growth. He has been working out recently, and his goal is to get a body like Bifang, so that the girls in school will definitely scream.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get started!"
Seeing that the two sides had almost finished their communication, Morgan went to the projection room to operate.
Everyone sat in the small theater, and all the lights around them went out. Soon, the screen lit up, and the familiar logo lit up, attracting everyone's attention.
Since it was just a sample piece put together at the last minute, the whole movie is incomplete. It is only sixty minutes long and does not even have subtitles or dubbing. Not only is it a pantomime, even the plot is not very clear. However, many things can still be seen, such as the changes in identity.
In order to make it a complete story, it is obvious that the identities of both parties need to be changed.
The thoughts ended and the movie scenes finally appeared on the screen.
A clump of tall grass appeared on the screen and the picture seemed to be still, but soon a huge hoof landed, trampling a deep pit in the ground.
The camera pulled up, and a huge horned deer appeared in everyone's field of vision, as well as... the hunter behind the deer.
"Hey, it's Fang!"
Etienne lowered his voice, but because the movie had no sound and the entire small theater was very quiet, everyone still heard it. Just from that image, everyone knew who the hunter was.
In addition to their similar looks, the other person was dressed like a field expert, wearing a camouflage expedition suit, thick dark green boots, his sleeves rolled up, revealing half of his muscular forearms, and holding a spear in his hand.
Everyone knows what's going to happen next.
This is a hunt.
Bifang feels that if it were a feature film, there would definitely be an exciting soundtrack here.
The "Bifang" on the screen jumped up and rushed towards the big deer. After a fierce fight, the big deer fell to the ground.
The camera moves very smoothly, and the whole hunt is obviously very tense and dangerous, but the person doing the hunting seems to be very relaxed and at ease. It is obvious that he is very strong and is a hunter with superb skills.
Then the scene changed to show Bifang carrying a large deer on his shoulders and selling it to the bar owner. The drinkers around him all exclaimed in admiration.
Obviously, the Bifang in the movie is no longer an adventure-oriented host, but a hunter, a hunter who makes a living by hunting.
These are two small plots, and you can see that there is no connection between them. I guess something is missing.
After a brief black screen, a new character appeared. It was a middle-aged man wearing a Little Red Riding Hood and a rag. His face looked oversized, and he looked a little decadent but also very serious.
This time everyone laughed, only Elwan's face fell slightly, but he didn't care too much about his rather funny image on the screen.
