Can anyone introduce the domestic animation Lightyear?

Produced by Guangzhou Ou Hua Animation Technology Co., Ltd., Lightyear, known as "the first real 3D cartoon in China", is currently in a tense post-production stage. This cartoon with the theme of China folklore "Nian Beast" not only cost more than 100 million yuan, but also attracted the attention of overseas filmmakers at the production stage. Michelle Qi, chairman of Europa Animation Technology Company, said confidently: "The production level of Lightyear is no less than Hollywood's top animation."

Theme: Tell the traditional story of China.

In recent years, although domestic cartoons have made progress, only a few of them are not well-known, such as Pleasant Goat, and the scarcity of themes has become a major bottleneck for domestic cartoons. The 3D cartoon "Lightyear" tells the origin of the "Year of the Beast" according to the traditional story of China. Michelle Qi said: "The idea of this story came from two years ago. We find that domestic animation seldom talks about the most traditional things in China. For example, many young people celebrate the New Year now, but they still don't know the origin of the New Year. "

It is reported that in order to make the story of Lightyear accepted by more young audiences, the script creation team also joined foreign screenwriters. Qi Meixiao said: "Hollywood cartoons are loved by audiences aged 3 to 80. We can't just be satisfied with younger audiences. Moreover, Lightyear has many potential foreign audiences, so this time we invited several foreign screenwriters. The script that everyone creates together will be more convincing. "

Production: led by the top team in Hollywood

In addition to the screenwriter, the production team of Lightyear has other Hollywood tycoons. Mark Pinheiro is the post-director and production director of the film. He once served as the visual effects director in Hollywood blockbusters Harry Potter and The Legend of Narnia, and the post-typesetter Alex Guri served as the post-effects engineer for Prince of Persia 20 12 and other blockbusters. Michelle Qi told reporters: "Our story has attracted them. Our team has been responsible for the special effects outsourcing of many Hollywood blockbusters abroad before, so everyone is familiar with it and it also provides a guarantee for this cooperation."

Michelle Qi also introduced the top 3D technology in Beyond Light Years. "Our technology is no different from Hollywood. In fact, all software is universal all over the world. The key is that we have a team that is in line with the world. In recent years, there are many domestic 3D movies, but almost all of them are pseudo-3D movies. Shooting with an ordinary camera in the early stage and making a 3 D effect in the later stage is not a virtuous circle for the industry, or even irresponsible to the audience. "

Response: Overseas filmmakers are actively pre-purchasing.

Michelle Qi is full of confidence in the market prospect of Lightyear: "We started preparing Lightyear before Avatar was released. At that time, we realized that 3D technology would become a new revolution in film communication. " In addition, Michelle Qi said that Lightyear is not satisfied with the domestic market, but the overseas market is the focus of their work: "Many overseas filmmakers have expressed strong interest after seeing the scripts and films. First of all, the story is attractive to them, and second, the visual effect is no less than the animation made in Hollywood. At present, we have received many appointments from overseas filmmakers. "

It is reported that the current total investment of Lightyear has exceeded 1 100 million yuan, and it will be officially launched in May this year if there are no accidents.
