"Transformers" is different from other anime, there is animation first and then toys, but it is a large-scale animated "advertisement" made by Hasbro in the United States to promote its own toys.

Like Hasbro's development ideas for "Transformers", Li Yixuan can't get it. Hasbro is deeply rooted in the United States and has a deep relationship with major American television stations, so there is no obstacle to helping him show an animation.

But it's different with Li Yixuan, even if you take money and beg others to let it go, people won't pay attention to you. Therefore, the only feasible way is to start with comics, use comics to promote toy sales, and the sales of toys in turn promote the sales of comics. This is the stupidest method and the least efficient method, but Li Yixuan can only choose this.

This is also the most direct and effective way for many RB comics to go to the world back then.

Although he can only use the comic situation, Li Yixuan does not plan to edit the content of the comics from the beginning, and continues to use the animated script of Hasbro's "Transformers", but the robot has to start from the beginning.

Optimus Prime remains unchanged, Megatron is based on the Soviet Tu-160 aircraft as a circle, and the prototype of the Hornet is the Beetle car of the German Volkswagen company, which involves the copyright of the other party, Li Yixuan decided to change it to a different car.

After thinking about it, it was decided to use the later American Focus hatchback bridge car as the Bumblebee round. The Focus is Ford's classic economy family two-box axle car, Martin face. Among them, there is a kind of line, sprayed with yellow paint is the most beautiful, Li Yixuan plans to use this one.

Anyway, this kind of model hasn't come out yet, especially the Martin face, and Li Yixuan is not an infringement.

In addition to the Bumblebee, there are many robots that he has modified, such as the horizontal gun, which in the original version is transformed into the Lamborghini Countach LP550S, which is a classic sports car launched by Lamborghini in the 70s.

In that year, after the hit of "Transformers", Lamborghini also started a lawsuit with Hasbro, which lasted for 5 years, and finally "Transformers" was too hot in the world, and it also drove the sales of cars in cartoons, Lamborghini canceled the lawsuit, but asked Hasbro to ask for a new model to redesign a transforming robot, which was rejected by Hasbro on the spot.

Not only the horizontal cannon, but because during the production of "Transformers", Hasbro did not obtain the relevant shape of the car before use, many car companies have used the appearance infringement as an excuse to file a lawsuit with Hasbro, taking the opportunity to extort a sum of money. In the end, Hasbro had to kill Optimus Prime in the plot and replace it with a new batch of transforming robots.

Li Yixuan will definitely not repeat such a lesson, and he will make major modifications to all models.

The horizontal cannon deformation model still uses Lamborghini, but it is a very classic model Aventador in 2011, the front design of this model is different from the previous Lamborghini models, with three large mouths, wide and long in the middle, which looks very aggressive.

There is also a millennium top, which was replaced by a 2011 Ford Mondeo.

Flying over the hill, it was replaced by the 2016 Volkswagen Golf Tour, and the taxi, the 1992 Volkswagen Polo.

In short, the models used by Li Yixuan are all models that have existed in history but have not yet appeared, and those models will not appear until more than ten years later.

Li Yixuan is mainly aimed at the modification of the Autobots. The Decepticons, except for Megatron and the Red Spider, basically did not move, and the Red Spider transformation aircraft was an F-15, which was replaced by Li Yixuan with a SU-35.

The main reason is that after "Transformers" became popular, those aircraft manufacturers were not as bad as car companies and sued Hasbro, so it was not a big problem.

Even if the aircraft manufacturing company sues him, because these robots are not important characters, they can directly shoot the characters to death like American TV dramas, and there will be no problems.

It took more than ten days for Li Yixuan to design a total of more than 20 robots, and more deforming robots will be slowly added in the future.

The plot is there, and the character setting is also there. Consideration should be given to who will be responsible for running the project.

After thinking about it, Li Yixuan finally decided to have Mark Seni in charge of the project. Because his Americans, they know the American market best.

Mark Saini was very surprised to see Li Yixuan's design, he never thought that the robot could be designed like this. But soon, with his keen business sense, this toy will definitely be a hit in the United States, as long as the storyline is not designed to be so oriental.

Faced with Mark Saini's question, Li Yixuan took out the script.

It's a series story, and Mark Saini took a closer look at it and said, "There's nothing wrong with the script, but I think it's better to animate." ”

"I also know that the animation will be better, but what about the TV station that will show our animation?" Li Yixuan asked rhetorically.

"This ......" Li Yixuan asked him down, if there is no TV station willing to broadcast it, no matter how good it is, the idea can only be zero.

"By the way, BOSS," Mark Seni remembered something, "Isn't Wang Shiqi from the TV station, maybe she has a way." ”

I forgot about her, so I quickly called her over.

But she wasn't alone when she came, and Will Wright came in with her.

"Wright, what are you doing? You didn't make The Legend of Zelda. ”

Will Wright replied nonchalantly: "The game is almost finished, and now it is in beta." I'm here to ask what game we're going to develop next. ”

Li Yixuan nodded, it's been a year, but it's time to finish. "The Legend of Zelda" is the first ARPG game developed by DreamWorks, both the plot and the game content are huge, and everyone is a novice, so it took almost a year.

However, this is already fast, after all, there is a mature version as a reference, you must know that in history, it took Shigeru Miyamoto almost five years to complete "The Legend of Zelda", during which it was repeatedly revised and pushed back countless times.

Suddenly, Will Wright saw a lot of artwork on the table in front of Li Yixuan and asked, "What is this?"

"The setting of Transformers. Our company's upcoming new toys and matching comics. ”

After obtaining Li Yixuan's consent, Will Wright couldn't wait to see it, and he wanted to know what kind of story his boss had designed.

Li Yixuan also handed over the script attachment to Wang Shiqi.

By the time the two of them had finished reading it all, it was already an hour later, "How?"

Will Wright replied, "Great start-up, clever toy design, storytelling to the tastes of American audiences, shape-shifting robots." Hehe, boss, I dare say that your design will be a big hit. ”

I thought so too, but Saini told me that it would be better if it was animated on TV. But we haven't dealt with American television, do you have any solutions? Wang Shiqi. After Li Yixuan finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Wang Shiqi.

Wang Shiqi couldn't answer for a while, and Will Wright helped her out: "Why do you ask her, she has only worked in TVB and has never dealt with American television, you should ask me." ”

"I know the president of CNN. Will Wright gave the answer, "Speaking of which, the president of this TV station is still a Chinese and has lived in Hong Kong. ”

Now Li Yixuan is not calm, if Will Wright really knows the president of American Cable TV, and he is Chinese, then he will have hope of success.

"Wright, tell me about it. ”
