Chapter 228 Shocking painting skills!(1/2)
Normal people usually say bad things about others, especially adults, who are somewhat worried about the awkward situation.
This is especially true for animation workers. They spend much more time with their 2D friends on weekdays than real people.
Therefore, in daily life, except for talking to acquaintances when necessary, they are taciturn all the time.
Seeing Zhao Cheng coming, everyone immediately shut up and stopped talking.
Shi Xiaoman nodded with satisfaction. The master ridiculed the young juniors in person and did not appear. This was a good start.
"Come on, let me introduce it to you. This is the young animation director, Zhao Chengjun."
After the words came, Shi Xiaoman took the lead in applause.
Slap sex.
The awkward applause of being alone echoed throughout the floor, and the technical otakus obviously didn't buy it.
Because the animation director is equivalent to the leader of the entire production team, he can give clear instructions and requirements for character setting, painting supervision, voice actors, dubbing work, etc.
The technologies present are all in the industry, and have been working hard for at least ten years, and some have even been 20 years.
So, it is really hard for them to accept being pointed at by a young young man in his early 20s.
Even the genius director of Ao Tsuko was 29 years old when he produced "Star Voice".
After graduation, I was a genius who worked in related industries and only started making animated movies after I tempered several short films.
How should Zhao Cheng, who is a celebrity, compare?
Some careful masters also noticed that Zhao Cheng's hands were so slender and smooth that they didn't look like they had taken a paintbrush.
Because people who hold pens for a long time will have cocoons of varying degrees at their fingertips and joints, especially those who often sketch, fingerprints are worn and black lead remains at the nail joints, which is simply the norm.
Also, underneath Zhao Cheng's eyes, there is no standard dark circles as an animation director.
This made them deeply doubt whether Zhao Cheng wouldn't even understand the storyboard.
"Minasan, Kong you Qiwa (Hello everyone)." Zhao Cheng first greeted him politely.
He once again showed his super high language talent and spoke Japanese fluently like a local.
But for the technical mate, Zhao Cheng's kidding skills are not as good as a 2D lady who synthesizes a voice through a computer and shouts "Ya Mie". Butterfly sounds nice.
Shi Xiaoman was quite surprised. She didn't know that Zhao Cheng could speak Japanese.
"From today to the next few months, Zhao Cheng will become a member of the company as an animation director. I hope everyone can cooperate with him in his work."
Although I expected the boss to say this, when I actually heard it, the group of people were still unhappy.
"My 'sick girl' has not been finalized yet, so I don't have the energy to design the image of a new character."
"Look at the large stack of storyboard papers on my desk. I still have so much to finish. If I increase my workload, I may die suddenly."
"No need to ask me anymore. I'm busy coloring the characters of "Egg Yolk Super God" and I can't do it in a few months to complete the magical work of an animated movie."
Everyone was looking for various excuses to shirk, but they just didn't want to cooperate with Zhao Cheng anyway.
Shi Xiaoman also found it difficult to deal with. If she enforces it, everyone would agree in helplessness.
But, the quality of forced creators is probably not much better, so they are not worthy of such a good script as "Your Name".
Zhao Cheng didn't mind, but just clapped his palms twice, interrupted their discussion, and said, "Everyone---"
"All characters, and every storyline, are ready-made."
"Don't worry about the surge in workload, because most of it is on me."
Now everyone present, including Shi Xiaoman, looked at him suspiciously.
"Then have you brought 'them' here?" asked a master who had been with the two-dimensional figure for many years.
"Bring...two." Zhao Cheng asked his assistant to take out his work from his backpack.
The painting is packed with a base plate and is packed with a tablecloth similar to a picnic.
The process of unpacking gradually aroused everyone's curiosity, and they also wanted to see what this "director" who doesn't have any experience in painting can draw.
Soon, the painting revealed its true face.
When it was fully presented to everyone, the technicians were suddenly attracted by this thin piece of painting paper.
First of all, the perspective of the painting is from bottom to top.
Cartoonists who usually like to use this angle have a very high aesthetic level.
The location of the character in the picture and the scenery behind him only account for half of the entire picture.
More than half of them are covered by blue sky and white clouds.
In theory, paintings designed in this way can easily make the audience unable to distinguish the focus of the painter's desire to express.
But this picture, from the characters, scenery, and composition, belongs to a golden ratio.
It makes people feel harmonious and appropriate and beautiful at first glance.
The male and female protagonists who take one side are not amazing, but their behavior is not exaggerated. Without the popular exaggerated performances nowadays, they feel very pleasant.
The two of them looked back and looked at each other, which made the painting feel instantly, and automatically transformed the shortcomings into advantages.
In addition, it can be seen that the painter is very straightforward when writing, with almost no trace of erasing.
Then, the choice of this color scheme is simple and direct, and there are no too many bright colors to modify.
There are many advantages worth mentioning, but until I see this, it is enough to explain a point of view. Zhao Cheng's picture of the male and female protagonists... unexpectedly good.
Shi Xiaoman kept nodding happily. She was the only person who knew the plot of the movie.
After combining the plot, when you look at this painting, you will feel that the painting is infinitely close to the central theme.
One of the masters' impression of Zhao Cheng has also changed a lot, and his tone is much better than before and asked, "What about the rest?"
"Well, the rest is in my mind." Zhao Cheng seriously pointed his temple with his index finger.
Everyone: "..."
The little bit of confidence that they finally ignited in Zhao Cheng was instantly extinguished.
This is no longer a question of whether to object or not, but to look at him directly with the look of "I'm afraid I'm not a fool."
After that, they turned to look at Shi Xiaoman.
I understand the meaning without saying it. Anyway, I just think she would find such an unreliable person to come over.
"In other words, you only drew such a base picture similar to the cover, right?" the master looked at Zhao Cheng a little helplessly and asked.
"That's right." Zhao Cheng nodded honestly.
"If all characters are of this level, most of the storyboards have been completed and the specific color scheme has been made, and it may be possible to complete an animation in those few months."
"But if you have nothing..."
"Even if you start preparing today, you will work overtime every day and work more than 10 hours."
"There is no way to complete the production of an animated movie in just a few months."
"At least, our Huaxia Animation production team really cannot meet your ideal time requirements. If you plan to make shoddy products, please go back."
The master directly expressed his point of view, and his words were echoed by everyone around him.
Zhao Cheng thought for a moment, estimated it in his mind, and then turned around and explained to his assistant a few words in Chinese.
They were the people of Sakura, but Shi Xiaoman opened his mouth directly.
"You are teasing me, can you paint here on the spot? There are so many people watching." Shi Xiaoman's big round eyes widened even more.
"Hold the pen and paper, write whatever I say later. Remember to keep up." Zhao Cheng said solemnly as he answered the question irrelevantly.
"Ah?" Shi Xiaoman reacted, and Zhao Cheng sat down and prepared to start.
Although technical mates don’t express themselves very much, they don’t mean they are fools.
Even though Zhao Cheng didn't tell them what they wanted to do, just seeing his assistant take out the brush and paper, he knew that Zhao Cheng wanted to paint on the spot.
However, what does it mean to ask Shi Xiaoman to hold the paper and pen?
"It's 16:20 now." Zhao Cheng raised his left hand to report the moment.
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately began to pick up his brush and scribble on the drawing paper.
There is no hesitation at all when I write, fast, accurate and ruthless!
Elliptics, lines and irregular shapes seem to be the same in Zhao Cheng's eyes, and he can draw whatever he wants.
The masters instantly widened their eyes.
Especially those artists responsible for designing character images and drawing scenes, they all looked at the movements in Zhao Cheng's hands in disbelief.
At this moment, the brush seemed to be Zhao Cheng's hand, and it was not difficult to operate at all.
They also noticed that Zhao Cheng didn't ask his assistant to take out the eraser!
So confident?
Shi Xiaoman looked confused.
