The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

Originally, he thought it would be strange to draw cells, primitive single-celled organisms as the protagonists. After all, their structure is too simple, and it is difficult to make particularly large changes in realism, and it will look monotonous.

However, enhancing the color contrast and strengthening the shape of the cell structure, the two-step modification made the design of a single cell look a bit cool.

This is completely different from the blurry cells seen in biology class.

He directly refined and pinned this post.

...

This post was posted by Wu Jingtong's marketing specialist.

This should have been the work of the marketing department that Wu Jingtong was in charge of. Among his work content, there was a lot of market development based on public opinion.

He was a polished commander before, and no one under his command would say nothing. He still had a lot of work on hand, and he had to deal with a lot of business work. I was so busy that my head was dizzy, and it was too late to take care of these.

He reviewed his negligence in his work, but now Wu Jingtong does not need to deal with business work across departments, and he has recruited two marketing specialists, so naturally he will not let go of these opportunities for publicity.

What he pays attention to is not only the post bar, but also the official account of Dimension Entertainment, as well as several official accounts created in private, are already in operation. He also did not let go of publicity sites such as Weibo, Zhihu, and Douban.

He hasn't achieved any particularly good results yet, but his goal is to be able to create one or two big V accounts in a few days, and by the way, let the several V letter public accounts operated by him be able to produce One hundred thousand plus articles.

In this way, 'Dimension Entertainment' has its own propaganda position.

...

The success of the linked animation project has not only allowed 'Dimension Entertainment' to gain a lot of fans in front of the public, but they have also established a reputation within the industry.

In the domestic animation market, it is actually not easy to have a stable output performance.

For example, "Full-time", which is obviously larger than the investment scale in the first season, Lewen Group is already ready to lose money, and the result is a small profit; "Task Force" made a big profit in the first season, and the second Quarterly results are also good.

But when it comes to the second season of "Task Force", although the results are already good and have reached the expected value, buying Penguin Video and Station B, which is the copyright of the second season, can make a small profit.

But it is impossible to earn as much as last season. I'm afraid they have just crossed the profit line, and they don't earn much.

This news will not bring any benefit to the third season of "Task Force". The negotiations for the third season have ended, and even the production has come to an end. Penguin Video and Bilibili spent 16 million to purchase the copyright of the third season.

At this price, they might lose money.

However, if you buy content copyright, you will not be able to earn back the capital, which is quite normal in the current domestic market. As long as it can firmly attract user traffic, it is not really a loss.

However, this also determines the ceiling of "Task Force". In the future, the production of the fourth season has not yet started, and the price may really not be raised.

Fan Zhe understands this, but it doesn't matter. He is already very satisfied to be able to earn tens of millions of income through the production of "Task Force" every season.

The production of the third season has reached the end, it will be done soon, and it has already been sold.

According to the discussions between "Dimension Entertainment" and Penguin and Bilibili, the third season will not be broadcast soon, and it will probably be cold for a few months, and it will be broadcast at the end of the year.

At the same time, the project production of the fourth season will wait a few months before starting, and there is no rush to do it right away.

Most of the developers have already been transferred to the "4.6 Billion Ensemble" project.

The content of fifteen episodes is planned for the first season, which is similar to the specifications of the "Task Force" project. The first half of the story takes place in the primordial ocean, and the mid-range involves drastic changes in the ocean. A large number of marine creatures, including the protagonist Lin, will come to land and live on land.

The original painting design of a large number of single-celled and multi-cellular organisms involved in the primitive ocean has been completed and included in the "dimension" system, and the calculation work on modeling has begun.

At present, the team's work is focused on the original painting design of primitive marine creatures and terrestrial creatures.

There are actually a lot of reference elements here, various simulations based on things like fossils, but those simulations cannot be used directly.

Not pretty enough.

What's more, it's not necessarily scientific.

The study of paleontology is a gradual process. Humans have a very limited understanding of all kinds of creatures that have been extinct for an unknown number of years. All research may be overturned in a few years, and even at present, there will be different theories and schools of thought, and different opinions on this.

For example, creatures like dinosaurs were once believed to be covered with scales. Later research found that many types of dinosaurs may have more feathers on their body surfaces. The most direct descendants of dinosaurs so far may be birds.

As far as Fan Zhe is concerned, it is necessary to maintain scientificity when making an animation work like "4.6 Billion Ensemble". But for the sake of visual effect, a lot of exaggeration in shape and design is necessary.

For example, what did the ancient Pipi shrimp look like? There is a certain scientific basis for this thing, but there is still a lot left for designers.

The current art team of 'Dimension Entertainment' is very strong, not particularly large, but there are many masters. Fan Zhe himself was born as an artist, so he is very comfortable leading such a team.

But in the same way, for a feature-length animation, it’s not just enough to do a good job in the design, the story is the most important thing.

Fortunately, with the original as a base, an adapted script is always more reliable than a completely original story.

The creation of the script is still done by Yuan Zhenshan, especially the lines must be well written.

This line is not for the characters in the film. Fan Zhe's film is not intended to be an anthropomorphic animation. It's hard to imagine a cell opening its mouth to speak.

The written lines are all reserved for the narrator.

For animation, story is very important. However, the story of "The 4.6 Billion Ensemble of Evolution" is very weak.

This whole work, especially the beginning part, the main story tells the evolution history of Lin and the creatures that have appeared during its evolution. Different creatures are engaged in the most primitive and brutal fights for survival and evolution.

But the weak story does not mean that such a work is worthless.

Primitive evolution, from low-level organisms to high-level organisms, brutal fighting... These are the instincts imprinted in the deepest genes of all creatures.

This kind of evolution and instinct itself is a 'spectacular'.
