062 September Events 1
Since the main event is in October, let’s push the progress bar back a month. At the end of September, the production of Rabbit has come to an end.
Xu Xing completed the 15-episode script of Rabbit before September after five days of seclusion. The first and last two episodes were his semi-original animations. The so-called semi-original is because the last second episode used elements from the second season.
The episode "Death of a Bear" was used as a blueprint, and the last episode also used part of the extra content. Only the first episode was used, so it should be regarded as the real original content of Xu Xing.
The first episode has been mentioned before, and the content is about the decline of Daqingguo and being bullied by other countries; the last second episode is about the death of Mao Xiong, with the end of Daqingguo representing the death of the porcelain country that could not keep up with the times, and the new
The Porcelain Kingdom is reborn in the ruins, with the death of the bear representing the end of the bipolar era, the passing of the old era, and the rise of the new Porcelain Kingdom. The last episode ends by showing the various outstanding achievements of the flower growers in the new era, which represents the porcelain kingdom.
The country's broad future, this is Xu Xing's interpretation of the rabbit's theme, the core commonality of all flower growers, unyielding!
If you fall behind, you will be beaten. Only by constantly improving yourself and being diligent and good at learning can you stand on top of the world again.
September passed uneventfully without any incident, of course for Xu Xing and the others. The Diaoyu Islands incident spread with great fanfare to the outside world, arousing the indignation of countless patriots.
This month, Xingtian Studio has hired two people besides Jin Feng. Zou Xuewei, who is good at painting prop backgrounds, and Ning Qian, a graduate of Zhuqiu Academy of Fine Arts.
Zou Xuewei has a lot of work experience. Xu Xingchu’s script contains many military props and background stories that will be used in Rabbit. However, neither Xia Ruoying nor Jin Feng are very good at this aspect. For this reason, Xu Xing specially recruited online
The platform spent money to recruit professionals with specified expertise, and finally found this Zou Xuewei.
Ning Qian was an ordinary painter who came to apply for a job, and was tricked by Xu Xing into sitting at the front desk, and by the way, she got a job as a receptionist.
Mo Shanshan and Xia Ruoying officially came to Zhuqiu to join their jobs after the summer vacation. Xu Xing spent a few days helping them find a suitable house to live in. It has two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, complete with furniture and appliances. It is not far from Chunjiang Garden.
The rent in Chunchao Garden, an old community far away, is not expensive, less than 2,000 a month.
Although Zhuqiu is located in the Yangtze River Delta and is a relatively developed city, its housing prices have never risen. Even if it started to increase dramatically in 2016, it was only at the level of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
The two of them are now seniors and need to find a unit for internship, so Xu Xing doesn't give them a high salary. Each of them is three to four thousand. Mo Shanshan doesn't mind. They are shareholders of Xingtian Studio and receive dividends.
Yes, just the second prize of "Cha Classmate Boy" has an income of 250,000. Mo Shanshan once proposed to invest in the new animation, but Xu Xing refused. To attract investment is to attract investment. If you don't get enough, there is really nothing you can do.
It was impossible for him to speak to Mo Shanshan at that time, and he still wanted to look like this.
After having the script, with the efforts of everyone in the company, the storyboards for episode 15 of Rabbit were finished on September 10th. The next thing is to find an outsourcing company. In fact, these broken dreams and visions in China are
Most of the well-known companies such as Crayon started by outsourcing Japanese comics. Xu Xing, who has high requirements for animation, of course thought of Broken Dream Animation for the first time. Although this product often collapses in the later stage, as long as you pay, the quality is still there.
Guaranteed.
On the day of the awards night, directors Wang Xi and Chen Ye joined each other's pack, and it came in handy at this time.
Wang Xi is the pillar of Broken Dreams second only to his boss Li Hao. He is one of the founders and a veteran animation director. He has a strong say in Broken Dreams. Xu Xing was the first person he sought out.
"Is Director Wang here? I am Xu Xing, the producer of "Ming Ji"."
However, Director Wang had many things to do, so Xu Xing waited until the evening before receiving his reply.
"Oh, yes, is there something wrong with Mr. Xu?"
"Our company has a new animation that needs to be outsourced. I wonder if Broken Dreams is free."
"I'm really sorry about this. Our company is currently working on six works at the same time, so we may not have time to produce your animation."
"That's okay, I'll look for other companies."
It can be said that it is a tradition to open more Broken Dreams, and it is widely complained by the audience. The consequence of opening too many projects is that these projects are often sacrificed. This is where the title of Broken Dreams comes from, so Xu Xing thought about it and let it go.
Start looking for other companies.
Next Xu Xing thought of colored pens, why not look for Vision? Vision’s beautiful painting style doesn’t match the rabbit at all.
Colorful Pen can only be considered a second-tier animation company, but the animations they produce are often full of strong emotions. To put it simply, they are very good at creating atmosphere. In this regard, they are still very suitable for making rabbits.
At the party that night, Xu Xing was joined by many fellow wolves, including Liu Baozhang, the representative of CaiBi Company. Liu Baozhang is one of the two most famous directors of CaiBi, so it should be no problem to find him.
"Is Director Liu here? I'm Xu Xing from Xingtian Studio."
Director Liu was much faster. He replied in just ten minutes: "Mr. Xu, it's a pleasure to meet you. Do you have any questions for me?"
"It's like this. Our new animation needs to be outsourced. I wonder if your company is available recently?"
"Well, we are currently working on a big project and may not have time to make your animation."
Helpless, Xu Xing had no choice but to continue looking for other companies, and he found five or six companies at once. Most of them were successful, until Fuxu's producer explained to him: "We are all producing Liuli's projects, and they are the second-tier companies in the country."
All animation companies have been wiped out. Mr. Xu, if you want to find an OEM, why not go to the animation outsourcing network? Some of them are quite good."
In the end, Xu Xing found an animation company from Zhuqiu on the outsourcing website. The name was Liangxi Animation. I had never heard of it, but they had a lot of OEM works, and many Japanese comics were involved in the production. Xu Xing made up so many episodes.
There are only one or two episodes produced by them, and the level can be said to be quite high, no less than those of second-tier animation companies.
Of course, another point is that they are also in Zhuqiu, not far from Xingtian Studio, so communication between the two parties is very convenient.
Outsourcing is mainly based on popularity. If your company is popular, the fees will naturally be higher. Liangxi Animation is not famous in the audience circle at all, so it proposed a normal price in the industry, 10,000 per minute, and an episode of Rabbit is about seven or eight minutes. Of course
Without the subtitles and photos, the ending song only lasts about five minutes, so the cost for one episode is about 50,000 to 60,000, and after 15 episodes, it will be about 750,000 to 900,000.
Now Xu Xing is not short of money. What he wants is quality, which must surpass the quality of the rabbit in his previous life. After making this request to them, Liangxi Animation raised the price by half, which is 15,000 per minute, and the total is up to 1.35 million.
, still within Xu Xing’s acceptance range.
Chapter completed!
