Once you decide to make it, fantasy electric animation becomes busy.

Fortunately, after the news of the animation was released, Xu Rui received several resumes, and the quality of this wave was obviously higher. By the time Yi Qianqian's first version of the character was officially released, there were already five more people in Fantasy Electric Animation.

Ningjiang has many animation companies, and Huaxia has more animation companies. Not all companies are mainly based on independent original creation and contracted adaptation like Rainbow Media or Mushroom Film. More small companies and studios are mainly responsible for outsourcing, and some companies have even evolved into professional outsourcing animation companies.

Cheng Kewei contacted several companies, and the other party said that as long as you give money, there would be no problem at all. In this way, only Huandian needs to provide a storyboard and some preliminary materials, and the outsourcing company can start making it.

Of course, Xu Rui wanted to produce all of them by Fantasy and produce a perfect animation, but reality does not allow him to be so willful. Fantasy's first animation can only be completed in this way.

The familiar blue car parked at the door of the fantasy electric animation. The severing sun in mid-July made Li Ruoxuan seep out sweat as soon as she got out of the car. This time she was wearing a dark blue short-sleeved T-shirt, dark yellow cropped pants, and white sandals, revealing her fair calves and ankles. She did not carry her usual schoolbag, but a black bag. In addition to the tuft of hair on her head that was raised because of sleeping, she looked like a young woman chasing fashion.

Li Ruoxuan touched her head and tried to flatten the cube of random hair, but the other party refused to give in and still raised it high. In the end, she could only helplessly tie a single-sided braid, lifted a white bag from the passenger seat, and walked into the small building of Huan Electric Animation.

The first floor was still deserted and there was nothing here. Li Ruoxuan climbed up the stairs to the second floor and soon arrived at the studio.

There has been a lot of expansion here, and the original painting group and animation group are distinguished. Xu Rui did not give himself a separate office, but sat outside with everyone.

"Ah, it's Xiaoxuan here."

Tao Ran, who was sitting outside, was stretching and saw Li Ruoxuan at first sight.

"Teacher Tao, I have brought you condolences."

Li Ruoxuan shook the shopping bag in her hand, walked to an empty table, and opened it.

"This is the mango mousse from Claris Cake House. I bought it on a detour. Come and try it."

Since the animation plan of "Soul Devouring" began, Li Ruoxuan has often come to Fantasy Electronics. On the one hand, it is out of the editor's responsibility to hand over some information with the animation production team, including asking the original author, Mr. A Chuang to confirm the character image and compare some setting details.

On the other hand, Li Ruoxuan, a newcomer who is just a newcomer, is quite interested in animation production. Since she is only responsible for teacher A Chuang, she also has plenty of time to come to Fantasy TV.

"Then everyone rest and have afternoon tea."

Xu Rui waved his hand and signaled that most of the people stopped the work at hand and came to Li Ruoxuan's side.

"I'll make some cups of black tea."

Deng Shixin from the 3D group took a short walk to the tea room and tinkered with tea bags and kettles.

“Wow, this is delicious.”

Yao Jiajie from the coloring group is the most idle now. She is also the first person to eat mango mousse. Although she has passed the threshold of thirty years old, she is still young and beautiful, looking like a girl in her twenties.

"Teacher Guo, don't you eat it?"

An Yuan is usually a silent and silent person. He returned to his seat with the cake, took a bite, and looked at Guo Weiren, who was still burying his head on the side.

"I'm old and can't eat this kind of sweet food. You can eat it, you can eat it."

Guo Weiren stopped his pen and responded, and continued to pick up the brush.

"Hey, where is Teacher Cheng?"

Li Ruoxuan was distributing the cake and found that there was no missing figure who would usually come to join in the fun, so she asked.

"He went to contact the outsourcing company. After all, we still don't have enough manpower. This animation still needs a stable outsourcing cooperation company."

Yan Zhe replied that he returned to his seat with the cake, but did not open it, but thought to take it back to his son to eat at night.

Xu Rui took a piece of cake and walked behind Yi Qianqian. She was painting with headphones, not disturbed by the outside world at all.

On the screen of Yi Qianqian, the heroine of "Soul Devouring", Li Leshen, who looks younger and a little childish than the comics. This is because the story of "Soul Devouring: Zero" takes place three years before the original work, and the heroine is still a junior high school student.

"Sister Qianqian, come and have some cake."

Xu Rui put the mango mousse in his hand to Yi Qianqian's hand and said softly.

"I'll finish drawing here later."

Yi Qianqian's voice was very cold at this time, as if she had devoted all her emotions to painting, and even Xu Rui could not affect her at all.

Xu Rui could only shrugged helplessly.

"Come and have black tea."

Deng Shixin brought a few cups of black tea and handed one of them to Li Ruoxuan.

"Thank you...ah, is this Li Leshen? She looks a little small and so cute."

Li Ruoxuan took the disposable paper cup and saw Yi Qianqian's painting. She came over and handed the cup in her hand to Xu Rui.

"Xu Rui, I'll give you this cup of tea."

"Oh, OK."

Xu Rui picked up the cup, blew it a little, and then put it in the open area of ​​Yi Qianqian's desk.

"Is this animated character?"

Li Ruoxuan didn't care about these details. Seeing that Yi Qianqian was still painting seriously, she asked Xu Rui softly.

"I've always been curious, why don't I just use the image of a comic and need to re-draw the character?"

"Well, after all, animation is different from comics. When drawing characters, cartoonists only need to consider storyboards. They can choose the angle of the character presenting to the audience. Simply put, it is like a posing photo."

Xu Rui gestured with both hands and continued.

"But animation requires the characters to move, which inevitably requires taking into account the character's appearance from various angles, the deformation of the clothes and equipment on his body in the movement. If no human settings give reference at the beginning, it is easy to have conflicts in the subsequent production process due to the painting methods of different original artists."

"Simply put, it's like the difference between a selfie picture after careful editing and a short video taken by a classmate on his mobile phone?"

Li Ruoxuan put her finger on her lips and said while thinking.

"Uh...can be understood this way."

Xu Rui was stunned for a moment, and it seemed that this was nothing wrong.

"I have never seen original painters' paintings so close before."

Li Ruoxuan looked at Yi Qianqian and murmured to herself.

"They have to draw them one by one, and then play them together?"

“To be precise, the original artist is only responsible for part of the animation.”

Xu Rui explained patiently that seeing Li Ruoxuan looking at him with her big eyes open, she looked like a curious baby.

"The original artist draws the keyframes of the action, and the animator is responsible for supplementing the middle part, such as a simple walking movement. The original artist only needs to draw the beginning and end of the two feet, as well as the middle position. As for the other numbers, the animator will supplement it. Therefore, the original artist must be very familiar with the deformation and timeline of the action."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Rui's cell phone rang, and the default ringtone was pressed by Xu Rui within a few seconds. After hearing a few words, he hung up the phone after agreeing, and then said to Li Ruoxuan.

"Sister Xuan, it just so happens that I am going to participate in the audition selection now. Do you want to join us?"
Chapter completed!
