My Animation Era

  Chapter 924 The 3D Demonic Wind

  When the animation "Bugs Bunny" premiered, Gu Miao was also troubled by another matter.

  Voice candidates!

  The production of the animation "Shen Bing Xiaojun" is in the middle and late stages, but the voice actors for many important roles have not yet been finalized. This is a very distressing thing for Gu Miao.

   "I think we should find some younger voice actors to highlight the lively personality of the characters in the film."

   This is Director Wang's suggestion.

   Coincidentally, Gu Miao thought the same way. He also felt that the voices of young voice actors were more in line with the characteristics of "Shen Bing Xiaojun" and could match the youthful and lively feeling.

   But the problem is...

  For the industry of dubbing, it’s hard to say what’s going on abroad, at least in China it’s facing the embarrassing status quo of “not being able to take over”.

  The dubbing teachers with rich dubbing experience are basically old, while the young dubbing actors have worrying professional ability.

  A friend in the dubbing industry recommended a few people. After interviewing them one by one, Gu Miao found out that some of them were really bad.

  This kind of failure means that the business ability is not good.

  Different from the conscientiousness of the older generation of dubbing actors, many people of the younger generation have a mentality of "playing tickets" when it comes to dubbing work. To sum it up in one sentence, their dubbing is purely for fun, and they don't take it seriously as a job.

   Look again!

  The importance of dubbing to an animation cannot be underestimated. A good voice actor can make an animation completely reborn. Gu Miao doesn't want to let it go unless it is absolutely necessary.

   Fortunately, things soon turned around.

   Gu Miao, who is looking for young voice actors all over the world, accidentally learned through a friend that the character dubbing of a domestic two-dimensional game is very good, and it has been well received on the Internet.

  So Gu Miao went to experience it. After playing that game, he also recognized the dubbing of the game character, and hurriedly asked someone to contact the other party.

   Only found out after getting in touch.

  The original dubbing team for this two-dimensional game is actually an animation club founded by students from the broadcasting department of a university, and the average age is even only 20 years old.

   "Is this too young?"

   Facing this group of college students with an average age of only 20 years old, Gu Miao didn't know what to do for a while.

  He really wants to find a group of young voice actors to highlight the lively personality of the animated characters, but is it a bit too young to be so young?

certainly!

  The fact that these young people can dub popular games is enough to prove their strength, and Gu Miao has also verified that the dubbing effect really meets the requirements.

   But again.

  These young people usually take jobs as dubbing some game characters and animations. This is the first time!

   "Forget it, let's try it."

   Such a young dubbing team may be rare in the whole country. Although the other party lacks experience in dubbing animation characters, Gu Miao still wants to use them.

  Don't ask why...

  The question is that he discovered through contact that these young people really love the dubbing industry, and are willing to study hard for this, not the kind of game.

  Based on this alone, they are better than those experienced colleagues who are loose and not serious.

  What happened to college students?

  The identities of college students are precisely the advantages of these young people. After all, college students are obedient and easy to support, and they can send some small money casually. They have to thank Gu Miao for giving them the opportunity!

  …

   Boldly employing a dubbing team with an average age of 20 years old, this is the most eye-catching point of the animation "Shen Bing Xiao Jiang".

besides.

   There is another aspect of the young general, which is particularly noteworthy, which greatly pushes up the production cost.

   That is, in the process of animation production, there are quite a lot of storyboard materials, all of which are hand-painted, which is a symbol of burning funds.

   "If it is made in 3D, it will probably save half the cost!" Lao Zhang said with a smile.

   "Don't!"

  When Gu Miao heard the word 3D, she immediately thought of "Shen Bing Xiaojiang 2", and her expression instantly became dark.

  Blanch!

   I don’t know when, the domestic animation industry suddenly blew up a trend called “3Dization”. No matter what kind of animation, the producers feel that they can’t keep up with the “trend” if they don’t remake it in “3D”.

   Classic old animations such as "The Adventures of Uncle Dragon", "Little General" and "Big Head Son Little Head Dad" are all influenced by this evil wind.

   Among these…

   "Big Head Son and Little Head Dad" probably put more effort into it. After the 3D transformation, the plot quality of "New Big Head Son and Little Head Dad" has improved significantly, which can be said to be a rare success story.

   But "The Adventures of Uncle Dragon" and "Shen Bing Xiaojiang" belong to the typical 3D victims.

   Originally, the previous work was quite classic.

   As a result, after "The Adventures of New Dragon Uncle" and "Shen Bing Xiaojiang 2" were forced to 3D, the quality dropped sharply, and they were directly reduced to a pile of shit.

   There is really no need to force 3D!

  3D animation and 2D animation are two different tracks, each with its own strengths and advantages.

   It is absolutely unwise to use 2D animation to cater to the so-called market trend and carry out 3D transformation.

   To put it bluntly, this is most likely to cheat subsidies...

   Making "Shen Bing Xiaojiang" into a 3D version, regardless of the fineness of the modeling, can save a lot of production costs, doesn't Gu Miao know this?

   He must know.

  But he has seen the 3D version of "Little Shenbing 2" and has seen the style of Nangong Wentian in 3D. He naturally understands that sticking to 2D is the only way out for "Little Shenbing".

   "Can't it be made into 3D?"

   "I can definitely do it..."

  Gu Miao shook her head and said, "But if you want to make a qualified effect, the money spent is not necessarily less than 2D, and it may even be more."

  Since this is the case, why make it a 3D version?

   He does not discriminate against 3D animation.

  Wanbao Animation has its own Dimension Studio specializing in 3D, and has released many classic 3D animation works.

  But if you have to change a good 2D animation like "Shen Bing Xiaojiang" to 3D, it is purely full of food. It can't be changed if you spend less money, and it's not worth spending more money. Why bother?

"makes sense!"

  Old Zhang tutted: "However, we must admit that there are fewer and fewer companies in the domestic animation industry that still insist on doing 2D."

  Wanbao is one of the few big companies that is still insisting on producing 2D animation. Other companies either give up 2D or remain unknown.

   "Understandable..."

  Gu Miao didn't criticize anything.

  After all, he also knows that many people in the domestic animation industry are basically in the stage of losing money and making money. Under this premise, it is natural to save as much as possible.

  Wanbao dared to play 2D like this because it was rich and had good grades, and even hand-painted.

  If you switch to other friends, you can’t even eat enough, and your skills are not good enough. How can you dare to play like this?

  Thinking about it this way...

   It seems that the 3D transformation of "The Adventures of New Dragon Uncle", "New Big Head Son Little Head Dad" and "Shen Bing Xiao Jiang 2" is also a last resort?
