Perfect Life

Seven or eight minutes later, Hong Yuan raised his head, closed the document, and said, "I've finished reading it."

Li Qian smiled when he heard the words, and didn't emphasize anything to him. It was very interesting to make him feel a little flustered by such an old god.

So, he turned his head and gestured to Qi Jie.

Qi Jie nodded and knocked on the table, "Okay, now that everyone has read it, the meeting will begin."

Then, she looked at Li Qian and said, "You speak first? Or let everyone ask questions freely?"

Li Qian thought for a while, exchanged glances with Cao Zhan, and said, "Let's ask questions freely, ask any questions, and Brother Cao and I will be responsible for answering them. If there is an answer that makes you uneasy or uncertain, then we will Discuss a single question until everyone feels OK!  …how about it?”

He looked at what Qi Jie and Cao Zhan said before, but when he got to the last sentence, he was patrolling the entire conference table—everyone nodded.

Qi Jie said: "That's fine, then start asking questions, who to start with... Well, Mr. Hu, you come first!"

Hu Zongyi opened the second document and said seriously: "Because I have also done paper-cut animation before, I know it well. I read this article by Mr. Li and directly denied the development prospect of paper-cut animation. I want to ask Mr. Li, do you just watch bad paper-cut animations like that?"

Li Qian smiled and said, "Actually, it's not just paper-cut animations that I see bad." At this point, he turned to look at Cao Zhan, and said with a smile, "We have been arguing about this for a long time. More suitable for me?"

Hearing this, Cao Zhan smiled bitterly, thought for a while, dropped the pen in his hand, and said, "Okay, let me tell you."

After a pause, he sat up straight and said: "Paper-cut animation, let's not talk about it first, let's talk about its origin, paper-cut, a very distinctive Chinese culture, there are still many paper-cut artists in China, not only Many universities and colleges have them, and there are more folks, and the works of some folk paper-cut artists are not worse than those of the academic schools! It can be said that it still has a very strong aesthetic foundation in China, at least until now. Then, What about paper-cut animations? We have had some representative works in China in the past few years..."

Having said that, he smiled, looked at Hu Zongyi, and said, "I know, Ling Zun's work "Havoc in Heaven" is an outstanding paper-cut animation work!" But at this point, he turned to look at Hong Yuan again, He smiled and said: "Of course, Brother Hong also has a "Havoc in Heaven", but yours is an ink animation, we will talk about this later. Now, continue to talk about the paper-cut animation..."

At this time, Cao Zhan consciously mentioned that the styles of the two films were completely different, but they both caused a certain degree of sensation at the time. Over the years, they have always been regarded as outstanding masterpieces of domestic animation works. ”, which was scratching the itch of many people sitting at the conference table at the moment.

Of course, regardless of whether it is Hong Yuan, Ma Aikui, or Hu Zongyi, even if he is proud, it is only a moment, and there is a smile, and it is only a flash.

After all, in the three documents I just saw, they, and some of the animation arts that their parents were most proud of, were directly denied by Li Qian.

At this time, Cao Zhan continued: "I said just now that I and Li have been arguing for a long time about this matter, because we first made it clear when we discussed about making an animated film and animation. , we want to promote and spread China's excellent culture and top art, so at the beginning, I was very dissatisfied with Li Qian's killing of the most outstanding things in our domestic animation industry!"

"But then, he convinced me."

"Why? The art of paper-cutting, paper-cut animations, and shadow puppets are very good. Chinese people will basically not feel inconsistent or unacceptable when accepting this artistic expression. Mr. Li and we also agreed that this thing can be completely made to make foreigners like it! Then, why can't we do it next, or even forget to develop in the direction of paper-cut animation?"

"It's very simple, because all the following movies, TV sets, and mobile phone screens will inevitably develop in the direction of high-definition. With the advancement of technology, human audio-visual technology will inevitably progress rapidly! Then, the art of paper-cutting and All the innate shortcomings of paper-cut animation will inevitably be exposed when human audio-visual technology develops to a certain extent - it is inherently flat, and its three-dimensional sense is too bad! This is the first!"

"Second! Because of the characteristics of paper-cut animation, it is difficult to show a grand, delicate and smooth scene in the presentation of the picture and the story! Not even to mention such a big, paper-cut animation, the characters frown , turning around is a very complicated thing! That is to say, the single expression form and expression energy make the art direction of paper-cut animation, which can be scary and can be developed as art, but the development direction of the whole animation production Thinking about it, this is an animation expression that will be eliminated by the times."

"That is to say, if we make paper-cut animations, then it may take us three or five years to make a work that makes countless people stunned, and then, when we continue to walk down this road , but you will suddenly find that this era is rapidly moving towards high-definition, detail, and delicacy, and although our paper-cut animations are still known as art treasures, for the vast majority of movie audiences and ordinary people, we The audio-visual experience that the paper-cut animations can bring to them has fallen far short of their demanding needs.”

Hu Zongyi was a little stunned from the moment he heard it.

At this time, when Cao Zhan finished speaking, Hu Zongyi's mouth opened and closed, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could say it, Ma Aikui took the initiative to speak, "Then what Mr. Li and Mr. Cao mean, we want to Are you going the way Hollywood and Disney are now?"

Cao Zhan smiled and was about to speak, but Hu Zongyi said, "In that case, what's the point of Minghu buying us over?"

His tone was a little angry, and some inexplicable sadness.

The Hu family has always been good at paper-cutting animations in their two lifetimes. Although in fact, before the acquisition of Minghu Culture, their own cartoons have begun to draw on domestic and foreign three-dimensional shooting techniques on a large scale, and paper-cutting animations are already a lot of Years are gone. But I have to say that the stunts that I have always been proud of have been "swept into the garbage heap of history" by others, and it is inevitable that anyone will be very unhappy if they change it.

Li Qian smiled and suddenly interjected: "Many parts of paper-cut animation are outdated or about to be outdated, this is a fact, but Brother Cao and I both believe that paper-cut animation is a tool, when it is used independently It may be a little out of date because of its weak expression, but as an art, it has its own best performance, for example, some still shots of people!"

"Speaking of which," Li Qian smiled, turned to look at Hong Yuan and Ma Aikui, and said with a smile, "Maybe you two will start asking questions next, right? Does it mean that ink animation will also be abandoned? Ink animation Paper-cut animation and paper-cut animation are considered to be the two original creations of our domestic cartoons. Putting these two aside, am I going back on my word? After all, what I said at the beginning was to be an animated film with Chinese characteristics!"

Ma Aikui forced a smile upon hearing the words, but Hong Yuan was not polite at all, "Then Mr. Li, how are you going to solve these problems? Paper-cut animation, keep the background for production? What about ink animation? What are you going to do?"

This person's speech... From the tone to the sentence, it is really a bit rude.

Aggressive.

Li Qian smiled and said: "Actually, from the technical point of view of animation production, animation used to be nothing more than just a few types. The technology is backward, mainly two types of plane hand-painted animation and three-dimensional shooting animation. Our country's paper-cutting Animation is said to be original, of course it is, but it is not created for no reason. Its source is puppet animation! Then ink animation, the foundation of this originality is more stable, yes indeed a This is a great initiative that foreigners cannot learn even if they want to learn it. President Ma and President Hong are more skilled than me in this ink painting, so I don’t need to say more.”

"But now, in fact, Hollywood and Disney have begun to give up these two animation production methods in the past to a certain extent. The new animation production method is directly generated and produced virtually on the computer through software. Currently, in China, Jiangnan Whether it's a studio or Changbai Mountain Studio, you have all been involved before, but the investment in this computer will indeed be larger, so you may just borrow a little technology, but in Hollywood, As far as I know, the previous two-dimensional hand-painting and three-dimensional shooting have become auxiliary methods, and the direct virtual generation of computers is their core production method."

"And then... As far as I know, there are already many companies and scientific research institutions in the United States that are studying live-action animation technology. In the future, this may be a new direction."

"Therefore, it is urgent to introduce new production methods. Our newly established Minghu Animation has purchased 73 million equipment so far, and we will buy it in the future, and new equipment will continue to be shipped. and installation, but...with new equipment, is it ok?"

Having said that, Li Qian looked around the audience.

Some people frowned, but others looked thoughtful.

At this time, Li Qian continued: "I always insist that in this world, technology will be outdated, but art will not! Especially the beauty produced by art is timeless, we just need to use a A newer and more fashionable way to express it with a newer technical means!"

After a pause, Li Qian said: "So, the three documents you just saw were discussed with Brother Cao many times over and over, and after several drafts before and after, they were finally finalized, but they only explained our Minghu Lake. The theoretical foundation of the next series of things to do in animation is just the theoretical foundation. I have prepared some ideas on how to do it. For example, as I said just now, the problem of technology and art, new technology and old, past beauty The question of combination, etc., I hope that I can collide and discuss with you in the future."

"Then, the answer to the question is here, my answer to you is that paper-cut animation is outdated, we will not take this road, but the art of paper-cut is not outdated, we will continue to use it next! It is not outdated, but we need to graft it into more advanced production technology! At the same time, with computer design of characters, virtual production, virtual production, these new technologies, and production technologies, we must catch up with the world's most advanced technology as soon as possible. s level."

Having said that, Li Qian stopped, picked up the teacup, took a sip, put down the teacup, and said, "If anyone has any questions, please continue. Or if I didn't explain clearly to Brother Cao just now, you can continue to ask. I said just now that today's meeting must be thorough, so as not to leave any blanks."

Everyone does not speak, UU reading www.uukanshu. comMa Yuan subconsciously looked up at Hong Yuan.

In fact, after reading the data just now, it can be seen that Li Qian has theoretically analyzed the animation film very thoroughly, but after reading his conclusions, the more expert he is, the more questions he will have. That's because, in those two materials, he only systematically discussed the general direction of domestic animated films, but did not go into much specific details.

It was only just now that Li Qian pointed out how he thought about important details such as technology, art, and style: the most advanced virtual animation in the West is the core technology, but the content is based on China The original ink animation is mainly based on animation, supplemented by paper-cut animation, that is to say, it uses advanced western technology to produce animation films in ink animation style.

This makes me feel more comfortable!

And there is a sense of clarity of mind!

Of course, this idea is definitely not a novel idea. In fact, Jiangnan Animation has discussed the introduction of computer virtual design characters more than once before. The last time, it was all because of funding problems. Of.

Of course, Minghu Culture has money and can afford it, so this is no problem.

At this moment, Hong Yuan raised his head and said, "Use a computer to render ink paintings virtually?"

Li Qian nodded.

Hong Yuan looked up at the ceiling lamp in the conference room and sighed.

Everyone looked at each other.

Ma Yuan also pinched her fist subconsciously, for fear that he would not say anything unpleasant.

But after a while, Hong Yuan just said: "It's good to have money!"
