December is usually the sprint for the eve of the various awards seasons. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Especially in music.

The Grammys, for example, were issued in February.

And Xiangjiang's "Top Ten Golden Songs" and "Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs" will be announced in January, or a dinner party will be held.

Last year's most bumper harvest was naturally Zhang Guorong, who soared into the sky, with "New Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream", Zhang Guorong became popular and became a new generation of kings.

Zhang Guorong also released an album this year, but it is much worse than last year.

According to Zheng Donghan, Zhang Guorong's album is based on the British style he likes, and English songs occupy 5 songs, but I didn't expect that fans in Japan, South Korea and Baodao didn't buy it much, they still liked Zhang Guorong's Chinese songs.

On the contrary, a new singer named Tan Yonglin from Baodao Polygram, with the "Water Flower" written by Yin Jun for him, has become popular all over the treasure island in the past half a year, and then took advantage of this east wind to launch an album in one go, which also sold well in Southeast Asia.

Even on the streets of Xiangjiang, there are also people singing the lyrics of "In the bleak rain and cold wind, how prosperous is like a dream".

"Water Flowers" has already set one of the "Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs" and "Top Ten Golden Songs" in advance.

Although Tan Yonglin is developing on Treasure Island, this song has also been operated to Xiangjiang, and Tan Yonglin is a native of Xiangjiang, so after the operation of Polygram, both honors have Tan Yonglin's share, and this new star will naturally rise.

Along with the programs of ATV, Wireless and Jiashi, there are interviews with Tan Yonglin.

In terms of appearance, Tan Yonglin is not as good as Zhang Guorong, but his voice is definitely higher than Zhang Guorong's.

Zhang Guorong's voice is not as wide as Tan Yonglin's, which is why Zhang Guorong sings pop songs very well, but other songs lack weight.

Tan Yonglin's voice is basically the same as Zhang Xueyou and Chen Yixun, the treble can go up, the bass can come down, and there is room for maneuver between tossing and turning, and even the vibrato is very comfortable, so the three of them are called the three generations of singers.

In the previous life, Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guorong were "rivals", because Wen Wu was the first and Wu Wu was the second, everyone wanted to be the first, so naturally there was a contradiction.

Looking at the current situation, the two of them still have to fight to the death in this life.

But Yin Jun has no choice, Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guorong are singers of the same era, they are originally outstanding talents, so it is absolutely impossible to be buried.

If you want to compete, you can only compete like this.

Fortunately, Zhang Guorong's life is very different from his previous life, although his album this year is worse than last year's, but overall it is not bad, and the sales have exceeded 200,000 copies, which must also be profitable.

Of course, there are also a lot of lace news about him, for example, some time ago, he was photographed coming out of the hotel with a little star, and there were photos of going to the night club with her.

After Yin Jun pushed Zhang Guorong and Tan Yonglin, he was not ready to interfere with their life paths.

At best, in a few years, Luo Dayou, Li Zongsheng, and Zhou Huajian will be launched to write songs for these good singers, which is the biggest support.

Not only Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guorong, but all the singers, Yin Jun is not sure how far the road of music can go.

After all, it's not just about the singers and songwriters, it's about the music market as a whole.

If the cancer of piracy is not removed, there will be no place for music to come out.

Even the last bastions of genuine music such as the United States and the United Kingdom, after entering 2010, have gradually fallen and entered a period of decline, and there is far from recovery, so Yin Jun has little confidence in the domestic market.

What he can do for these singers is to try to make their singing careers as colorful as possible, at least to make more money, and wait until the market depression comes down in the future, so that he will not be so embarrassed, and he will have the leisure to calm down and create some good songs.

If you want them to make money, it is very simple, which is the path that Teresa Teng has been taking in recent years.

Concerts.

First hold concerts in Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Treasure Island, Singapore, Malaysia and other places, and after two years, when the mainland is opened, then enter the mainland market to hold concerts.

Anyway, there are so many people in the mainland, with a population of 1.2 billion, not to mention super-first-class cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, not to mention first-class contemplation like Lin'an, Gusu, Jinwei, Minzhou, and Jinling, even second-rate cities like Rongcheng, Changsha, and Liancheng, which hold 30 concerts a year, and the venue is definitely full.

There are fifty or sixty cities like Huaguo, and there are more than 1,000 concerts a year, isn't it enough to open them?

There is no way, now that the entertainment life of the people is so little, the concert is definitely very popular for them to enjoy the party.

In fact, until 2020, when those outdated old singers held concerts, they also had a lot of money to make, let alone the lack of entertainment in the 80s and 90s.

Letting singers hold concerts can't expand Yin Jun's career territory, but it's good for expanding his influence.

It's a pity that no one knows now except Yin Jun alone that the golden age of singers is less than 20 years, and even on the side of Hong Kong Moss, it is only 10 years.

As for mainland singers......

Hehe, did they have a golden age?

When state-owned bookstores and record companies directly and openly record and sell pirated copies, how do you want them to make money?

Of course, there are times when millions or tens of millions of tapes are sold, but how much can you get as a singer for this money?

If you add a little bonus to this month, the unit will be good for you!

Such a lack of respect for talents and music is really a trampling on the Chinese record industry.

……

Aside from the matter of singing, Yin Jun's main energy now is how to develop his career.

The production and distribution of comics is a very important part, but the derivatives of comics are even more important.

There's no way to say anything big, live-action, but at least the animation can be prepared, and the toys are the same.

That's right.

Yin Jun's most priority is the one with the most money among all the comics.

"Transformers".

In May, Yin Jun sent 13 animators from Huhai Fine Arts Film Studio to Japan for four months, then to the United States for three months, and then in the United States for another month, and then to return to Xiangjiang in January to complete the eight-month learning process.

In fact, these 13 animators have already participated in the production of cartoons as early as when they were in the United States.

It's just that they are still a little far from the world's most advanced animation production concepts, so Yin Jun asked them to learn animation production in Japan and the United States.

With a foundation, learning begins with a strong technical aspect.

They study for 8 months, which is enough for beginners to study for three years.

They will be a group of animators that Yin Jun focuses on cultivating, and in the next two or three years, they will produce cartoons of Qilin culture and teach batches of animation talents.

Speaking of new talents, most of the 18 students recruited by Yin Junxin from the Central Academy of Fine Arts and the Huaguo Academy of Fine Arts were recruited for the purpose of drawing the drawings needed for animation.

When they came to Xiangjiang in November, the first thing they learned was how to sketch these animated characters.

It doesn't matter if it's Megatron, Decepticon, or Abu-sama, Xiaoqing, or grandpa, or Cherry Maruko...... And so on, they are all required to draw it as quickly as possible, and then break down all kinds of demeanor movements.

For these high-achieving students from China's two ace art academies, such sketching is not a problem.

After a month of repeated practice, they have drawn many images to life.

Especially by copying the same portrait, almost all of them can draw eight or nine points similar, and if you don't look at it very carefully, you can't see it at all.

In December, they were concentrated on painting "Transformers", and began to draw various static drawings according to the content of the cartoon written by the screenwriters.

Here I want to talk about a basic knowledge of animation production.

Usually when we look at things, if 24 pictures flash in front of you in one second, then what you see with the naked eye is a continuous image.

So when playing a cartoon with continuous action, every second you see is usually made up of 24 pictures, and this still picture is usually called a frame.

It's the same with movies, where every second you see is usually played back in 24 frames of continuous motion on film.

So usually a one-minute movie requires about 27.43 meters of film, and a 90-minute movie needs about 2,500 meters of film - this is without wasting film. Generally, shooting a movie takes twenty or thirty times more film than 90 minutes of film, which is simply a breeze, and the king of sunglasses has spent hundreds of times more film.

In 2016, director Li Yan's "Billy Lynn's Halftime Fight" used 120 frames of shooting technology, which means that 120 still pictures are shot in one second, and the amount of information to the minds of the people watching the movie is 5 times that of the usual movie per second, which can be imagined how clear it is.

Because of such good technology, only 5 cinemas in the world can play this advanced movie, so 2 in China are 288 tickets, setting a sky-high price.

Such a movie, if you look at the ordinary 3D version or giant screen version, you can't see the taste in it at all.

Only pay a high price to see it.

If you can't see 120 frames, then go and watch 60 frames, which is also expensive.

This ticket price is expensive, and it is also the most critical factor for "Billy Lynn's Halftime Fight" to break through the box office of 100 million in a short period of time!

And you spent a lot of money to see it, and after reading it, you will only sigh that the effect is so good, it is worthy of giving people the most perfect visual and auditory enjoyment, and the money is really worth it!

Compared with movies with more and more demanding effects, in fact, cartoons, especially animated series with an episode of about 20 minutes, are basically not so exquisite.

We don't need to compare them with people like Hayao Miyazaki and Makoto Shinkai, they are the kind of people who typically treat cartoons as super blockbusters.

Therefore, their cartoons cannot be called simple cartoons, but blockbusters made by animation.

In this era when there is no computer to assist in production, a cartoon of 24 frames per second is very time-consuming, 20 minutes takes 34,560 pictures, according to an artist can draw about 50 pictures in 10 hours a day, 10 artists also have to draw 70 days, plus production or something, it takes at least 3 months to complete.

Therefore, the works of these animation masters will only come out in at least two or three years.

This can only come out after hundreds of people have been carefully polished together.

Even for animation and drama, if you want to play 24 frames a second, and if you want to broadcast one episode a week, you have to have at least fifty or sixty artists start working half a year in advance, and it is very difficult to catch up.

So!

When Osamu Tezuka, the god of manga, made the animation of "Astro Boy", he came up with an unprecedented and innovative animation production method for the Japanese animation industry, called limited frame animation production.

Frame-limiting animation, as the name suggests, is called an animation that limits the number of frames per second.

In other words, I don't make 24 portraits a second, but only 8-12 pictures on average, and one picture takes up 3 frames, or even longer than two or three seconds when I only use one picture.

This example is not obtained from "Astro Boy", but it is developed to the extreme in "Doraemon" - in each episode of it, there are so many still scenes, which is really outrageous! When Doraemon took something out of a small bag, it was not a static picture of a painting in a second? This is simply a trick to the extreme!

Fortunately, everyone watched the storyline, not the picture, otherwise "Doraemon" would have hit the street a long time ago.

However, Osamu Tezuka's way of making cartoons does greatly reduce the time and cost of cartoon production, so that cartoons continue to be produced quickly and meet everyone.

Now, the similar animation camera that the old man used to make "Astro Boy" - that is, a complex camera, compositing software, camera platform, etc., has been ordered by the animators when they were in Japan, and after three months, the company has completed the production and sent it back to Xiangjiang.

When they first learned how to make Japanese animation, they used this kind of animation studio to make it, so it was easy to get used to it.

Coupled with the fact that the art students are familiar with the process, everything is now ready to be animated when the animators return from their studies!
