Chapter 11 The Establishment of Yisheng Studio (Part 1)
During the May Day Golden Week, Yisheng Media had two theaters that cooperated with other companies to go online. The investment scale was both medium. Among the twelve movies launched on the Golden Week, there were only four of the medium or above movies, and Yisheng Media accounted for three.
It's also a big shot.
But this form will become more and more numerous in the future.
During this Golden Week, Li Xianyun piled up the few least optimistic works together, trying to avoid conflicts between works of higher standards.
Because there are no decent competitors, the box office performance is reasonable, and they are basically profitable.
On the next National Day, it will be the second part of the Po Junxing, then the second part of the 007 part, then the Super English series, and then the third part of the Po Junxing, 007 part of the third part...
Yisheng Media produces five or six theaters every year and adds other cooperative theaters. In the film and television industry, it has begun to shout that the wolf is coming.
After experiencing the development of the past two years, Yisheng Media Technology Department has also become more and more mature and is increasingly accepted by other film and television companies.
As Su Haili said, as long as the films jointly developed by the Technical Department are not worth losing, and they have an undefeated golden body, it will be easier to deal with later.
In addition, Fantasy Yaoyao cartoons have also begun to be produced. As a series of animations, they can be launched as long as they are completed for a certain number of episodes. They are expected to be released in June. However, this is a TV screen and network platform that occupy only occupies no cinema resources.
At the same time, the first and second phases of the Ghost City Adventure have been completed and are expected to be launched in the second half of the year. It is also a cooperation with Xunjie platform, so there is no need to attract sponsors. A bunch of large companies in Licheng are willing to support it.
Also, the second animal film has been completed and was produced in the name of Mengxin Film.
I guess Sun Junliang was so angry that he learned about this afterwards.
Finally, Li Xianyun provides a creative framework. The office palace drama under the charge of Lao Gui has been put on the agenda and is expected to start in the second half of the year.
It can be said that this year's Yisheng Media is a comprehensive blooming network, theaters, animations, variety shows and TV series.
The momentum of the limelight is invincible.
Behind this powerful production is Li Xianyun's increasing social needs and urgent internal adjustment needs.
Today Li Xianyun called Su Haili over and said straight to the point: "It's time to separate the technical department, the backend department and the production department."
Su Haili wondered: "Why is it now?"
"Because the module layout has been completed."
As he said that, Li Xianyun turned on the picture on his computer, a wooden structure diagram appeared inside: "Most of the on-site scenery can be completed in this way. Just like building blocks, no matter what scenery we want to set, we can set it up."
"Lego?" Su Haili was surprised.
"That's right." Li Xianyun pointed to the picture and said: "It's like fighting Lego. Of course, we don't pursue fun. We don't need to search like Lego. All basic parts have labels and can be combined into various interior landscapes. Beds, cabinets, sofas, and even houses can do it. As long as you need it, anything will do."
"But this is meaningless." Su Haili was puzzled: "Isn't it enough to get a ready-made bed? Why do you have to put it together by yourself? Isn't that a waste of time?"
"Plating is to change the shape. All wooden structures are colorless and logs need to be re-engaged. For example, in today's event, I need a big bed with a faucet on it. Tomorrow I need a round bed, and a hundred birds pay homage to the phoenix. We use building blocks to put together so that we don't need to buy two beds."
Su Haili and the others understood.
Yes, they have spray guns, and they can be decorated with spray guns directly, and they can still use oil paint. Ke Yaoyao can not only color, but also fade!
Therefore, on the basis of being able to quickly artwork, all furniture landscapes can be made using the building block method.
For others, this is a behavior of taking off their pants and farting too much, which is simply impossible to achieve, but for Yisheng Media, it is another improvement in efficiency.
To put it bluntly, just spell whatever you need, and then quickly color and picture it.
After completion, just remove the makeup for the assembly.
To be honest, isn’t artists just putting makeup on things other than people?
In short, things like setting up a landscape art work suddenly become a job of building blocks, and only a few more crew workers are required to carry them.
The yard workers are not worth a lot, and it’s no problem to hire 100 people in three or four hundred a day.
In this way, those scenery that were originally unreusable can be used repeatedly, but the most important thing is to improve efficiency. The main significance of the Lego module is to change the on-site scenery needs to be behind-the-scenes scenery. If you can operate behind-the-scenes, Ke Yaoyao and others can play a role.
Of course, this method cannot solve all problems, but even if it can only solve some problems, it is an improvement in efficiency.
Under Li Xianyun's operation, every step was accurately planned from landscape art, to lighting photography, to camera positioning, to actors, to costumes and props, and time was calculated to the extreme.
This plan was originally thought of in building a closed studio. At that time, the closed studio was controlled by ghosts. The so-called trouble of moving does not exist. He can easily complete it no matter how hard you do it.
On this basis, Li Xianyun and Jiang Zheng thought about whether they could use some means to develop this advantage outdoors.
Just then, Zhou Fanjin proposed modular operation of the rehearsal software.
This fits the demand.
In other words, the preview module and the realistic setting module can be synchronized!
They also made many attempts to do this, and it was not until now that they could completely solve it.
In addition, another reason is that the rehearsal system has been upgraded again.
The new rehearsal system led by Zhou Fanjin is not only previewed by finished animations, module construction, and even workflows.
That is to say, once the crew is in place, no matter how they arrange their work, they will appear in the rehearsal system and then sent to everyone through the background operating system.
The system even has direct work arrangements for each crew member, even the placement of the camera, lighting installation, etc., which will be reflected in the preparations. At the same time, the work arrangements for all staff members are planned.
In this case, large studios are transforming towards a purely technical model. How to schedule schedules, how to maximize resources, how to arrange crews, and how to arbitrage are all in the planning process, and the creation of film and television is becoming a real assembly line operation model, and each link is a screw on the assembly line.
How long does it take to set the scene, how long does the lighting take, how long does the photography take, and even the actors' emotions and makeup time need to be accurately controlled.
When you are so awesome, you can even create the attractions in this way? Just find an empty venue for you to set up and start making it. After taking pictures, you can disassemble it.
As long as it is not a skyscraper with hundreds of floors, you can install it. If you really want a skyscraper with hundreds of floors, you can directly do special effects. Yisheng Media's special effects department is also developing rapidly now.
Anyway, the cost of shooting the world is huge. Yisheng Media will become less and less in the future. At worst, you can spend some copyrights. If you use the name of your landmark building, you may even ask you for sponsorship fees.
This practice is incredible to others, and Yisheng Media calls it a homemade tea and drink.
The third reason is that Li Xianyun is increasingly feeling the urgent need to separate art and technology.
Mass production of art is too difficult, it is a natural constraint.
It is not like something else, it can be standardized. Art is difficult to standardize, the audience's tastes are always changing, and no one knows what they will like next year. Of course, this is not impossible to solve, correct marketing, market feedback, and then a series of reports and forms are made into tables, which looks very professional. But in actual operation... nothing is wrong.
Art is something very subjective, and the bosses of film and television companies cannot even be sure who is talented. Perhaps a genius director today will become the culprit of your box office collapse tomorrow.
The assembly line mode eliminates the outbreak of inspiration and serious routines.
The reason why Li Xianyun's company has a high return rate is because he cheated. Without the help of those ghost treasures, he would definitely be a tragic death.
But if Yisheng Media continues to move on like this, even if there are any good special effects, it will eventually fail.
Chapter completed!
