Chapter 232: The Future of Valhalla
Of course, Wang Ming didn't know what happened on TV yesterday, because he was rushing to the toy factory. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
As a commercial brand, the moon is bound to enter the figure market. When Fate stay night went on sale, the team sent by my father set up a poll post on the website.
The purpose of the poll post is to count how many people will buy a Saber figure. Wang Ming's only two speeches on Weibo include a link to this one.
He also told netizens about this on the website, but unfortunately the final statistics were not good, the first batch of pre-ordered figures, the number was about 5,000, of which 2,000 were orders with deposits, and the rest were sold by dealers across the country.
Even if the sales are not good, it can be used as Fate's first non-gift figure, and the quality cannot be sloppy. If the quality is not up to par, or the mold style is not good-looking, the fans don't like it, but they have to go back to the furnace and redo it.
"I said, are you all idle, what are you doing with me?" Wang Ming, who was sitting in the co-pilot, looked at the three girls behind him and couldn't help but complain: "I don't care about others, but Sister Yue, you have been on fire recently, and your voice can't speak, it's already like this, you can't take care of yourself at home, come to this kind of smoky place with us, what if your throat is infected?"
"Auntie, don't laugh, and you, don't play games at home, what ......are you running around?"
Sun Yang laughed when he heard this: "Why don't you only talk about Teacher Yueming, and why is most of the firepower poured on Sister Wang?"
"Shut your mouth and drive honestly. Although he yelled at his friend, Wang Ming was also a little strange in his heart. I seem to have been forgetting Yue Qianming a lot lately. If you hate her, it's definitely not. If you like her...... Then I must admit that there is indeed a point, but is it wrong for men to like beautiful women? But once the idea of "growing old hand in hand" arises, I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, and I always feel empty. Wang Ming asked himself: Could it be that what I am thinking in my heart is the pursuit of the harem?
Oops, don't think about it, if there is a good boat ending in the harem, how sad it is!
After Wang Ming roared, everyone stopped talking, looking at the silent atmosphere, he said in a hurry: "I'll tell you a story of 9.8 billion......
β¦β¦
"Teacher Qingbai, I have noticed that your skills in telling cold jokes have become more and more advanced recently. β
Getting out of the car, Yue Qianming helped Yue Qianyin, who had a bad face, and said as she walked.
Wang Ming said without changing his face: "Haha, it's okay! How can I say that there are 103,000 cold jokes in my mind, and it is not a problem to talk about them for three days and three nights!"
Sun Yang smiled and said, "I think it's a little yellow book." β
"You let me go!"
Parking the car, the four of them walked along the path heading forward.
This factory is a large factory under the name of the Bai family, and it is known for its exquisite models, and many of the figures purchased by the predecessor were made by this factory, so when he heard the name of this factory, he directly chose this one.
"Teacher Qingbai, what is a figure?"
Although Yue Qianming is a cartoonist, her works have not been animated, so naturally no one will make character figures, plus her usual character of not going out of the door, there is not much contact in this regard, although there are also in Wang Ming's studio before, but she only treats those as models, so when she hears the word figure at first glance, she can't understand it at all.
"I know!
Sun Yang put away the car keys, caught up with the three of them, and rushed to answer after listening to Yue Qianming's question.
"I don't know!" Wang Ming pushed Sun Yang away and sneered: "Figures, also called dolls and human figures, refer to some collectible character models, they are not dolls! Don't talk nonsense when you go out in the future, I can't afford to lose this person." β
"You're still mixed with the second dimension, and you don't even know this. β
Yue Qianming nodded: "Oh, it turned out to be those villains in your workshop before...... If they are collectible models, why should we make thousands of identical models according to the principle that rarity is precious?
"No, no, no, you don't look at things from a commercial perspective. Wang Ming shook his head and said: "The main reason for buying a figure is that the love for the character prompts them to pay this expensive fee, as for the collection value, it should be ranked second, our purpose is to let more people like this character, not just to make money." β
Walking through the long aisle, I came to the front of this factory, and there were two people standing at the door, waving to Wang Ming and his party.
"Editor-in-Chief Yu, why are you here?"
"I'm afraid that the people here don't know you, so I want to find someone to take you, no, it just so happens that I'm not busy today, so I'll come and take a look. Yu Qingsheng pointed to the man next to him and introduced: "This is the director of this factory, surnamed Yu, called Yu Fu." β
"Oh, hello Director Yu!"
"You can't make it ......"
After everyone was polite, Wang Ming followed Director Yu into the factory. Wang Ming came this time only on a temporary basis, and the real purpose was just to see how this figure was made.
"Mr. Qingbai, here is the raw material processing part, the process here is very simple, as long as you enter a series of conventional data such as character pictures, detail ratio, model size and so on in the computer, and then press the button, less than ten minutes can appear from this machine a prototype we need. β
The original embryo is the name given to the factory workers, referring to the unpainted model.
"We generally use three materials to make models: resin, PVC soft plastic, and nano-treated artificial titanium alloy. Director Yu said while introducing: "Although the intelligent robot proposal in previous years was not passed, but in terms of figure models, titanium alloy can be used to make high-level figures that can interact with the owner according to the setting, and in the country, there are absolutely no more than three factories with this technology." β
Looking at the proud appearance of Director Yu raising three fingers in front of him, there must be this one among these three factories, but Wang Ming has a question, it stands to reason that a person who likes figures so much in his predecessor does not have any understanding of this high-level figure of titanium alloy, is this a technology developed in the past six months?
Hearing this question, Yu Fu sighed and explained to Wang Ming: "This is also no way, after all, where is the cost, a one-sixth humanoid figure will cost at least 200,000 yuan, and this only counts the cost, not including the cost of labor and channel providers...... In the four years since we got this technology, we've sold three pieces, two of which went to companies and one to museums, so it's normal that you don't know. β
Sun Yang looked at the mold that was slowly passing on the conveyor belt in front of him, and asked according to the other party's meaning: "Can't the cost be lowered?"
Yu Fu shook his head bitterly: "It has been reduced to the minimum, after all, this material is originally used to make nano-level materials for robots, if you continue to reduce the amount of main materials, then in terms of feel, mobility, conductivity, ductility, corrosion resistance, etc., it will decline a lot, the most important thing is mobility, once it continues to decline, it will cause the body to be greatly reduced in the execution of the program, so that it is no different from those ordinary figures." β
"In addition, this material is rare, so there is really nothing to be done in terms of price. β
At this time, Wang Ming's mind was no longer on this, he was thinking about what was the use of this model and how far it could go.
When he heard that this model was basically equivalent to a robot except that it had no intelligence, he wanted to build Valhalla, and then hold an animated character popularity contest every year, similar to Shimoe's form. The previous idea was to make some human-height models and put them in, but now that we have this advanced model, it would be fun to put each generation of movable Moe King in Valhalla, wouldn't it?
Therefore, for the rest of the period, he spent the rest of his life in a trance, and his mind was full of deducing this idea.
Wang Ming's personality is a bit willful, always doing whatever comes to mind, but rarely cares about the consequences of doing so. As for the idea of Valhalla, he also thought of it in a snap of his head, and he didn't know a lot of things, but he still told the three of them about it on the way back.
Yue Qianming was the first to stand up against it: "No, this thing is absolutely not okay!"
As the person in charge of managing the company's finances, although she has never counted the accounts, the final performance still has to be overlooked. Every penny of income from animation,He invested it in the next animation or server setup,Now the company has only more than two million on the books,This money can only support two months at most,And according to the pace of the company's development now,There is no three or five years,There will basically be no spare money to do Valhallaγ
However, even if Yue Qianming was very fiercely opposed, she couldn't stand the help of the other three people in the car. The moment they heard Wang Ming's proposal, they raised their little hands in agreement.
Seeing that the three of them were so powerful, Wang Ming laughed: "Four to one, you lose, the proposal is passed!"
