Chapter 949: Do we have to work overtime again?
The animated film project has always been a hot topic in the Earthling Studio, so as soon as Xiao Ye notified everyone, not only several big bosses in the studio, but even the heads of various departments put down their work and ran over to watch the fun.
However, the animated film without dubbing, only pictures, looked extremely torturous. Even Lin Fan, who could withstand the torture of rough cuts, felt a headache watching the beautifully made but silent animated film.
On the contrary, Liang Wen, who is fully responsible for the production of the animated film, has long been accustomed to such treatment, and has also deeply engraved the lines of each character in his mind.
Now I can watch the animation while imagining the relevant dialogues, which is very exciting.
Of course, Lin Fan was also able to do this, but it was a bit brain-consuming. In addition to Lin Fan and Liang Wen, Zhou Yue, a senior fan of Journey to the West, was also able to enjoy watching this movie without any dialogue.
But for others, it was no different from watching a silent movie.
However, animated films are still different from live-action films. Even silent films can allow the audience to understand the plot.
Not to mention that this is the work of my own boss.
As members of the Earthling Studio and Lin Fan's employees, everyone has read Journey to the West more than once, from comics to novels.
So it is not difficult to understand what the whole animated film wants to express, but the process is more painful. If I have to use one word to describe this feeling, it is probably painful and happy.
In this way, nearly two hours passed before everyone finally finished watching the sample film.
Yang Hongxia turned on the lights in the screening room: "Now that we have finished watching the sample film, please share your opinions."
Everyone turned their eyes to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan was also unambiguous: "This animated film has completely achieved the effect I wanted. And even without dubbing, the overall plot is smooth, and there are no logical flaws. This is already very good for a sample film."
Even Zhou Yue, an old man, said: "I didn't expect that today's animated films are not inferior to live-action films at all. And with the blessing of post-production special effects, some big scenes and fighting scenes are even more exciting. The characterization of the characters is also very unique. An old man like me can't bear to look away, let alone others."
Hearing Lin Fan and Zhou Yue's affirmation, Liang Wen, the person in charge, couldn't help but smile: "Then the focus of the next work will be the dubbing part."
Yang Hongxia continued, "I have contacted some dubbing teachers and sent them some of the lines. I asked them to provide a trial version of the script first, and then we will select the final dubbing actors based on the trial version."
Of course, after selecting the voice actor, it does not mean that the dubbing can be completed all at once. An excellent dubbing work is made after many revisions and adjustments, and finally an outstanding and high-quality dubbing work can be seen.
Lin Fan doesn't need to take care of the details in person. He only needs to finalize the voice actors he wants and the final dubbing work.
The time it takes for a voice actor to dub a movie will also vary depending on the type of movie, the requirements for the lines, and various other reasons.
If you are in a hurry, you can finish dubbing a movie in three to five days. However, for a movie with high requirements for dialogues, where even every modal particle must be carefully scrutinized, it may not be possible to finish dubbing in three to five months.
But normally, dubbing for animated films is simpler than dubbing for live-action films. If everything goes well, it may be completed in a week.
After the dubbing is completed, the final sound editing work comes.
Yang Hongxia silently calculated the time: "If everything goes well, our animated film can still catch up with the National Day holiday."
National Day! All the friends couldn't help but take a deep breath: Is Mr. Yang going to start again? Is he going to make us work overtime again?
This won’t do! A person only has one liver in his lifetime. It’s okay if it explodes occasionally, but if it explodes every day, even the strongest liver can’t handle it!
The eyes of the friends in the screening room were flying around. You looked at me, and I gave you a look. We all wanted the other party to take the lead and take the initiative to carry the banner of boycotting Yang Baopi.
But after looking around for a long time, no one dared to be the first to speak out.
Yang Hongxia asked again: "What do you think?"
In the end, the head of the publicity department said, "National Day? But the National Day is the day when the TV version of Journey to the West is released, and the animated film is also released at this time. Will it cause us to fight with ourselves?"
Other friends also raised their own questions: "Besides, the two works are scheduled in the same period, how should we promote them? These are all works related to Journey to the West."
"The National Day schedule is indeed a bit too rushed. I think it would be better to put it in the Spring Festival schedule. Animated films are still very suitable for the Spring Festival schedule. In this way, in addition to ordinary audiences, we can also attract a large number of children."
Lin Fan also felt that "it should be released during the Spring Festival. The workload this year is indeed a bit too intense. If we squeeze this movie into the National Day period, not only will the workload increase dramatically, but the publicity will also be delayed."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
But it was good enough to be released during the Spring Festival, and it was delayed for several months, so Lin Fan had time to have a good rest.
Yang Hongxia saw through Lin Fan's little plan at a glance, but she was too lazy to expose him. After all, Lin Fan did exceed his target this year, and there were other projects waiting for Lin Fan to make time to take over.
Lin Fan has been proactive for so long, it's really unreasonable for Yang Hongxia not to let him have some fun.
So I said very happily: "Okay, let's stick to the Spring Festival schedule. The Spring Festival schedule is bigger anyway. I believe our movie, no matter what schedule it is in, will be the box office dark horse and word-of-mouth champion of that schedule."
When the other friends saw that Yang Hongxia had given in, they immediately put their minds at ease: Okay, okay, now we don’t have to work overtime anymore.
Seeing the relieved expressions of everyone in the screening room, Yang Hongxia said unhappily, "Although the film is temporarily scheduled for the Spring Festival, we still have to do all the necessary work. The animation studio should quickly complete all the post-production work, and the publicity department should also come up with a publicity and promotion plan. Other departments must also cooperate!"
"clear!"
As long as this movie is not forced into the National Day schedule and the promotion work is carried out step by step, no one will be afraid.
