Chapter 12: The Panda Codex
Today is Monday, 11:55 p.m.
Many half-house fans and anime fans gathered in front of the computer, opened the half-house website and waited, according to their words, waiting for the revival of domestic animation. For the Chinese animation industry, this will be a moment of history, and in order to witness this moment, anime fans or not, should religiously wait.
12 o'clock sharp.
The news broadcast of the animated version of "Meet Her Majesty the Empress" was posted on the front page on time, and everyone couldn't wait to click on it and enjoy this historical moment. Due to the fact that there were too many people entering at the same time, the video was a little stuck, but everyone did not have any complaints and waited patiently.
The technology of the half-house fairy has never disappointed them, the exquisite picture, smooth action, funny plot, just the right background sound effects, OP blood, ed warmth, everything is intoxicating, and after the playback is completed, the website of the half-house fairy erupts into bursts of cheers.
They finally understood what "China Animation Wars" wanted to express, it was not only satirizing the local protectionism of radio and television, but also wanted to show that Chinese animation has never lagged behind, and it can and has always been at the forefront of the world.
Domestic animation has finally raised its eyebrows, starting with the half-house website!
Compared with the fanaticism of anime fans, Daewoo boss Han Jiachao is a little depressed. The exclusivity of "Crossing 2" was not settled, and the use of the game engine also caused the company's management to dispute.
The reason for the dispute is the price, the right to use it is 50,000 US dollars, and Daewoo now has 4 games ready to develop, that is, 200,000 US dollars. That's a huge expense.
The technical department recognized the price and even felt that it was already very cheap. The price of those well-known game engines in the world is much more expensive than this. But other departments disagreed, and rashly used a game engine that didn't know the roots, and God knows if there would be any accidents. In order to ensure the stability of the game, it is better to use the renderware engine that you are used to in the past.
Besides, it is also unknown whether you can master this kind of engine, and if you can't master it, no matter how advanced the engine is, it is no different from an ordinary engine. It would be unwise to increase such an expense.
There is some truth in what both sides say, and no one can overpower anyone, so the final conclusion is still made by the boss Han Jiachao.
"I understand your opinions, good technology must be used, and you can't give up because you're not skilled, but you can't be too hasty, and it's no good. So, let's compromise and buy the right to use it once, and the technical department will step up their familiarity with the engine, and at the same time see how effective it is. If it proves to be better than the previous one, then this engine will be used all after that. ”
The boss has made up his mind, and everyone has no opinion.
"Mr. Han, the half-house immortal has news."
In the middle of the meeting, the boss's secretary walked in with a notebook with the latest news from the half-house immortals.
"After discussion, we decided to sell the domestic exclusive rights of "Crossing 2" for 5 million yuan, and we will not make a counteroffer, waiting for your news. In addition, the game has the latest anti-piracy software developed by us, which can ensure the safety of the game. ”
To explain a little here, I don't play games myself, so I don't understand the industry market. I only know that the development cost of GTA is 100 million US dollars, but the foreign and domestic markets are different, so I set a relatively cheap price of 5 million here, and you don't have to be too observant. -- Country narrator
It's really a wave of unevenness, and it's just finished discussing the game engine, and here comes the game agency, and the half-house immortal is really not peaceful.
But this time there was no argument, and everyone voted in favor after a while of silence, after all, the popularity of the half-house immortals is there, and the buyout fee is so low, the risk of operating such a game is very low. And the half-otaku fairy also provides the latest anti-piracy software, although I don't know how effective it is, but judging from the engine they can develop, the technical level should not be low.
So, the boss immediately left a message on the half-house website to Banzhu Station.
…………………………………………………………………………
"Glasses girl, Daewoo said that he wanted to buy the right to use the engine once, as well as the exclusive right to operate "Crossing 2". They also asked us to take the software to their company to sign a contract, what do you think about now? ”
I still have to sign a contract, Zheng Lu doesn't want to expose himself.
"Stupid, you can sign a contract online. Don't worry, I'll put a self-destruct program in the master and engine, and if the other party doesn't pay the bill, I'll blow it up! ”
The glasses girl is getting more and more evil, although she can't be a hacker, but she can still put something on her own things.
Well, yes, that's it! Zheng Lu made up his mind and replied to Daewoo.
The reply stated the way to sign the contract, and there is no need to pay the bill, the money is placed in Daewoo, and if it is useful, come and get it. In addition, two points are also highlighted, one is that the four students of Meizhou Bay University want to put forward their valuable opinions and play a perfect role in "Crossing 2", so they asked Daewoo to help pay the reward of 50,000 yuan per person.
The other is to ask Daewoo to help buy the animation adaptation rights from the original author of "Meet Her Majesty", paying 5,000 per episode of animation, and there is also a "Panda Codex" that is also paying, which is the next comic that Zheng Lu is preparing to animate. These are considered deposits, and when the money is in place, the game engine and game master disk will be sent immediately. Of course, the reply also mentioned the self-destruct procedure, and Zheng Lu didn't want to make any mistakes.
To put it simply, Daewoo has to become an ATM for the half-house immortals, and he is also responsible for the payment of the original author of the manga. Although these things are complicated, they are just a drizzle compared to the low buyout fee, so Daewoo should not refuse.
After the reply was completed, Zheng Lu began to work on the animation of "Panda Codex". It's a pretty spoof manga that, despite being four-square, has a full storyline that perfectly meets the standards of animation. The story follows a bizarre incident between a group of students with bizarre and unique surnames.
The lack of common sense is the main feature of this cartoon, shooting people and eating people is family property, and the dead characters can basically be resurrected on the spot. The character design is even more exciting, the boss who has gone through the vicissitudes of life to the leaves, the old B who has the skill of fighting cattle across the mountain, the squad leader from a terrorist organization, etc., everyone has a story, and each story can make people laugh until they spray rice, which can be regarded as a classic in funny comics.
Compared to multi-grids, four-grid animation is more difficult, because the connection between the upper and lower stories becomes more difficult. The animation "Lucky Star", "The Melancholy of Haru Kozumiya", and "The Light Girl" are examples of the more successful animation of four-panel comics, but I haven't heard much of the others.
The four grids that can be animated require a more connected surname, not only in the story, but also in the time and place. From this point of view, most of the four squares are basically unqualified. To put it simply, the four grids are like points, and the multi-grid is a line, and it is naturally easier to start with the line to make the surface of the animation.
Most of the four grids are popular in China, and the ones that can be accepted by people are also four grids, which makes Zheng Lu really puzzled, this is simply a dove occupying the magpie's nest. If you say that it is more ugly, it is that you are afraid of difficulties and seek ease, and the second front is defeated on all fronts.
The production of "Panda Codex" still has to be carried out, first determining the voice actor, then choosing the right music, synthesizing animation, and finally making a trailer.
Zheng Lu did not plan to release this film too early, first released the trailer of "Panda Codex" on the half-house website, and then set the broadcast time for the next Tuesday, and then one episode per month thereafter, forming a fixed broadcast time. Of course, "Meet Her Majesty" also has a fixed time, Monday. This can ensure the progress distance from the comics, and I believe that with monetary rewards, those original comics can put down other work and devote themselves to creating comics.
