Chapter 44: The Three Major Animation Companies

"I think many people probably know what I'm going to announce, because the PV of "The Queen is from Another World" was released on major video websites last week. ”

Bian Wenqing paused and continued: "But I'm still here to announce this good news to you. That is the animation of "The Queen is from Another World", which will be broadcast on major TV stations from next week. ”

"After almost half a year of waiting, we finally have this day. I would like to thank my colleagues in the three groups for their tremendous help to me. I would also like to thank all the female editors who have always cared about me, you are the loveliest!"

A few sporadic female editors immediately clapped their hands excitedly, and they didn't feel pain when they were red.

"Thank you. Bian Wenqing showed a sunny and handsome smile, scratched the collar of his suit, and then walked back to his place and sat down.

"What kind of handsome pretend......"

Li Er heard what seemed to be a male editor muttering not far away.

Bao Congyun also said to everyone: "Everyone has also seen how much animation has improved comic works. There are no animated works yet, so we will continue to work on animation. Okay, that's all for this meeting, you can disband. ”

He finished his work and walked out of the conference room. The deputy editor-in-chief followed, followed by the editors-in-chief, the general editors.

"Animated......" Lear dragged his chin and muttered the word in his mouth.

Generally speaking, it is the animation companies themselves that come to the door to adapt popular manga into animation. The animation company will submit a proposal, and the plan will come with the effects of the animation, as well as basic character drafts and so on. So that the comic book writers and editors have an intuitive impression of the finished animation.

If the comic artist doesn't know anything about the animation company, the editor will also be responsible for guiding it. Because the editor has more contact with animation companies, he knows the characteristics of major animation companies.

There are three well-known animation companies in Huaxia.

The number one company is called Huaxia Image, which is the oldest animation company. It's also responsible for film and distribution, and a lot of the software used in the animation industry today is still the standard set by Huaxia Imaging.

However, Huaxia Image also has many shortcomings that old enterprises often have, such as bloated institutions, superfluous people, and so on. This is reflected in the animation, that is, the production cycle is long, the drawing is rough, and the ticket often jumps.

There are also advantages to this company. If the market responds well, it will be more convenient to adapt the comic into a live-action movie, TV series, or something. Huaxia Imaging is still quite strong in these fields.

The second largest company is the Magic World, a newly established animation company that doesn't produce many animations, but all of them are high-quality. Not to mention the first machine battle film "Special Forces" produced by a large company, it sold 3 million copies, and has been regarded as a classic by many anime fans until now. It's a pity that because it's too troublesome to make zuò, the second part has been delayed again and again, and it's been five or six years, and I haven't seen the shadow of reopening.

The magic capital world that made money, and then created several cute films adapted from light novels in a big way. But they all sell very well, they are good at selling cute films with beautiful girls, and they are also good at fighting movies with various tough guy mechas. And the quality of the zuò is so high that even people in the industry find it incredible.

The third largest company is the Fantasy Front. Speaking of which, the chairman of the company also has something to do with the world of the magic capital, and Shi Guangjiu, the director and producer of "Einsatzgruppen", founded Fantasy Front after creating this anime. When the company was founded, the magic world also funded and supported.

The types of animation that Fantasy Frontier specializes in are sports and combat animation. These types of animations are known to be surprisingly difficult to draw. Because the number of frames per second is high, and there are many actions. Making an animation like zuò is a huge test for both the original artist and the animator.

I heard that they have perverted high requirements for the picture, and the precautions for the major subordinate companies alone can be as many as more than 20 pages, which shows how much they are asking for.

The animation produced in this way is also very conscientious, and it has also created a great reputation for the front line.

Most of the manga in "Weekly Shangjing Shonen" are produced by these three major companies. The rest of the small companies may not have the courage to submit their proposals.

Among them, Huaxia Film is not bad for money, and the copyright fee given is the most. The world of Magic and the Fantasy Front are similar.

Ordinary animation, about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan an episode. And for a popular comic like "The Adventure King", the adaptation fee for an episode is about five yuan. The money paid by Huaxia Film is generally about 20% higher than this price.

"Wanyou King" was not very popular at first, so there was no animation company to give a proposal. After these words became famous, I didn't hear of any company coming to the door.

This kind of thing can't be rushed. Many comics are popular for a long time before they are favored by animation companies.

But the original number one was actually lost in this way, and I am still unwilling! If you talk about the plot, this issue is still better than "Wanyou King".

It seems that the cover of the next issue will definitely be "The Queen is from Another World".

And after the animation is played, the popularity of "Queen" will definitely rise, and the previous situation of easily winning the first place will probably not be repeated.

But that's what motivates people, isn't it? It's not interesting to always beat everyone up or something.

If the non-animated manga, defeat the animated manga...... The fruits of victory will be even more delicious!

……

Zou Gu deliberately went to Wang Daoyi's studio, and this time he actually saw Wang Daoyi painting something on his workbench. The assistants who were rarely seen were also there, and they said hello to Zou Gu and continued to work.

"Teacher, I'm here to inform you of your results this time......

"How much?" asked Wang Dao without looking back, his voice impatient.

"No. 8. Zou Gu said tremblingly.

"Oh, I see. The original manuscript of "Bad Luck Superman" for the next episode is already there, so you can take it back to the company. ”

"Teacher, don't you think this ranking is too low? Our quick report is the first! Now, it's only the eighth place, and many netizens on the Internet still don't believe that "Bad Luck Superman" didn't invite a water army, which has a huge impact on the popularity of the comics!"

Wang Dao's pen in one hand stopped, he turned his head impatiently, and said to Zou Gu, "Are you doubting my ability?"

"No, no, teacher. I didn't mean that, but eighth place is actually very good, very good......"

"! What is good? This kind of result doesn't satisfy me at all. Wang Daoyi also forgot to put on a disguised personality. With a snap, the pen was broken in two, and the tip of the dipping pen and the other half of the pen flew away.

“…… Don't be angry, teacher. Zou Gu dodged back and said.

Wang Daoyi took two deep breaths and pinched his eyebrows with a tired face: "I'm sorry, Editor Zou." I'm a little excited. ”

"Uh, it's fine, I don't mind. Zou Gu touched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Now I kind of understand that "Bad Luck Superman" can't get better now. I've decided to finish this work in ten chapters......" Wang Daoyi said slowly.

"Huh, wait, teacher. You can't make such a decision so lightly, you must know that it is not easy for a new author to get a serialization opportunity, although "Bad Luck Superman" is now on the cusp, but people are forgetful. Maybe in a few days, no one will remember it. ”

"It's not about the events on the internet. "Bad Luck Superman" is too immature, and the creativity and subject matter are very flawed. I happened to have a better idea recently, and I drew it, and you can show it to the editor-in-chief. ”

Wang Daoyi took out a brown paper bag and handed it to Zou Gu. After Zou Gu took it, Wang Daoyi immediately turned his head, picked up the second dipping pen, and continued to draw the original manuscript.

He turned his back to Zou Gu, and pointed to the comic of "Wanyou Wang" on the table: "I believe that this new serial will definitely be able to defeat "Wanyou Wang", no...... It's to beat everybody!"
