118. Crude animation
Life on campus is very smooth compared to work, and I have gradually adapted to this kind of life in the future, and when I have free time, I go to the company to have a look, and I feel a sense of accomplishment when I find that everything is under control.
According to Megumi Amahara, this is only because the first episode sold well, and if it doesn't sell well, first of all, investors will be suspicious of supervision, and even temporarily withdraw or make things difficult. For adapted animations, producers can tolerate it, but it's a big deal to use it as an advertisement. However, if the original animation does not sell well, it will be difficult to supervise.
Late-night movies mainly focus on sales, while prime-time animations mainly focus on ratings. These are all things that are very stressful for supervision. Especially prime-time ratings.
Although the moon is an adaptation of the animation, sales are also very important, and the results created this time are very satisfactory to the investors, so they will let the future go.
They are now trying to cover up the age of the future in the official, but in private they are trying to rumor that the future is a minor beautiful girl. is afraid of being caught, but also wants to use this to attract more audiences. They are also very conflicted now.
And on the Internet, there have been countless posts about the future of identity.
But the vast majority of them think it's just a gimmick on the part of the production company.
The future is relatively easy, so she still has time to talk to Hashimoto about the game, and Chiho is too tired to be busy, and Yukiko also hopes that she can relax and try not to go to the company, but Chiho still insists on learning from Yukiko.
And Yukino is also very interested in Hashimoto's game.,Before, she seemed to just invest money.,But I didn't care about making money at all.,But now I'm also beginning to understand the content of the game.,Very concerned about the completion of the edge of the void.。
In fact, the production of games is similar to animation, and the cost of a game is about the same as an episode of TV animation. Of course, it's also very hard to burn money, and it's more common for games to burn budgets than animations. After all, the game only needs to be burned once, and the animation needs to be burned for one season.
Although I knew that it was impossible for Yukino to invest all of the entire game, I still felt shocked when I learned that she had invested in the edge of the sky.
According to Feng Xue Lu, the biggest significance of Xue Nai's investment is that it can be used as start-up capital, and they occupy several places where the most money is spent in a game, so the cost is acceptable. It's just that you need to save money just to make games.
But when it comes to the amount of Xue Nai's investment, Feng Xuelu still said enviously like a child: "My salary for a year, I don't eat or drink, and I can save about it." ”
In the future, although I don't know how much the salary of Fengxue Road is, I can probably guess it.
A few million yen is about the same.
With such a lot of money, if I become an overseer in the future, my annual salary will be about 5 million yen, and of course, I feel that I will definitely exceed this line in the future.
"Sure enough, the class gap exists everywhere."
"The money for the original painting and script can be saved, and we only need to eat and live by ourselves, but it is not enough to rely on a few of us, and there are other expenses. You can't save money on coloring, it's going to be millions, and the rest is a small amount of money, but it costs a lot on the sound side. ”
Compared to Hashimoto, who paints with a stuffy head, Aoi Nishiya and Fengxuelu are more sensitive to money.
"I remember that I used to make music and always complained that the salary was very small, and a BGM was only tens of thousands of yuan." Hashimoto couldn't help but say.
"There are only tens of thousands of songs, but there are definitely not more than ten or twenty songs, which is also tens of thousands. The most important thing is the theme song. I'm wondering if we should make a theme song, a pure song with no words and no songs is hundreds of thousands! There are also singers who sing, which are more expensive if you hire a musician. Audio equipment can also be rented. ”
"That's going to be using." Said Future.
"Aren't you a small company? Is it possible to record? "Feng Xuelu was surprised that the animation companies that can record themselves are all large, which means that these companies can complete an animation independently.
"There's still equipment or something, but people can't give it to you. If you're a singer, it's best to use the voice actor of the game to sing, and find a voice actor who can sing. ”
"Indeed." Feng Xuelu nodded repeatedly. "A voice actor only needs about 30,000 to sing, but a singer may need 100,000 to sing. This money should be saved. ”
Future looked at Xue Nai, who was also involved in the discussion, and at this time she no longer seemed to be wealthy, but frowned and asked, "I don't know the situation here, but shouldn't it be better to let a professional singer sing?" Is it hard to guarantee the level of voice actor singing? ”
"Well, because it's dubbing, it's more appropriate to sing, and it's more acceptable to people who play games, so it's not a bad thing, and of course it's not good to sing too badly. So look for voice actors who are better at singing. ”
"But music can't be too economical either." The future interjected and said that without good music, no matter how good the plot is, it will be discounted. Although this is the case, the thought that it will be modified after the animation is made, and it is a new investment, makes her heart a little painful.
"According to common sense, the game usually comes out in March and April, but we may not be able to last until then, so we can only speed up the progress." Fengxue Lu said after the calculation.
Generally, the game will come out at that time because some accounts need to be settled, which is equivalent to the settlement of accounts before the Celestial Empire, so you need to make the game first to recover a sum of money.
But for Hashimoto and the others, I'm afraid it won't last until then. It will definitely cost you the salary to others, but if you put it off any longer, the rent and the like will increase. The increase in the cost of food and lodging is also a significant expense.
"Can it really be done that quickly?" Future asked with some skepticism.
Hashimoto said, "I'm almost done with the character design and character drawing, which was a lot of time consuming in the early stage, after all, I've been drawing before. However, the original art in the game will take a few months and should be completed in November. But there's other work to come. It can only be said that it may be possible. ”
"But music and voice actors, especially music, it's better to have a certain foundation before it's more suitable for producers to make music. If there is nothing, the music producer will not know how to make it. ”
Future thought for a while and said, "Leave this matter to me." I went looking for talent in music. Hopefully there are no problems. As for ways to make music producers more aware of this, one animation is enough! ”
"Animation? Is it animated first? ”
"No, it's just as a pre-concept version, similar to Instant Noodles Naako, Instant Noodles Ninja Killer. But it's more concise.
This technique is more common in movies, so make a simple version to let people understand and attract the producer's investment.
But in the future, we decided to make an in-house simplified version, which is as little as possible and allows the music producer to have an intuitive feeling.
Hearing the words of the future, several people's eyes also lit up.
Suzudaira Chiyu, who has not spoken, also said: "When the time comes, you must let me take a look first." ”
"Got it, but don't expect too much, it's going to be very shabby. It's so simple that it can't even be called an animation. ”
