Chapter Thirty-Eight: Getting on the Right Track

Subsequently, Lu Qianshu and Bai Jia returned to their workstations and went to work.

Liu Li was stopped by Lin Le alone.

"Senior sister, it's hard for you to record everyone's overtime.

In addition, the overtime pay on weekdays is 1.5 times the hourly wage, and on weekends it is 2 times, and it will be reported to the finance department at that time. ”

Liu Li smiled lightly: "I know, I promise to get things done." ”

.....

After that, the game department and the animation department were busy. On the side of the game, for the reason of concealing the script, Bai Jia submitted a relatively brief design draft to Lin Le.

It's just that the introduction is to do the game of the same name, and then the category is a side-scrolling action game.

After Lin Le watched it, he immediately expressed his position and asked Bai Jia to work hard to do a good job in this direction.

He felt that the copycat "Madoka Magical Girl" was set, and the game of the same name would be unlucky, so there was no need to worry about anything else.

Since this is only a fine indie game, the volume is not very large.

Lin Le allocated 500,000 funds to Bai Jia.

For a small game, Lin Le's funding is too much.

Bai Jia was greatly encouraged by this.

He knows that this is the embodiment of Mr. Lin's meticulous care for employees.

After all, the employees of the game department, some are fresh college students, some are assistants of game companies, and people like him, who have three years of experience in miscellaneous work, are already the strongest in the department.

The entire game team is weak and lacks business skills.

And Mr. Lin understands this, so he gives extremely generous funds.

In this way, Bai Jia will not be constrained.

Otherwise, the strength of the team is not good, and the funds are not enough.

The game that was made was definitely impossible to play.

"With a rare and good boss like Mr. Lin, he wholeheartedly supports himself, and if he doesn't do a good job in the game, his conscience will hurt."

Bai Jia thought so, and his fighting spirit burned completely.

On the same day, when he returned to the game department, he announced it to everyone. "Ladies and gentlemen, this time the two departments are linked, and it is also a competition. Mr. Lin has given the greatest support in terms of funds, so our game department can't lose!

I hope everyone cheers up and polishes every detail of the game to the extreme! ”

The employees responded enthusiastically, saying that they were full of strength, and that it would be no problem to do this game, not to mention 996 overtime, and to fight for another 500 years!

The reason why there is such a big reaction is mainly because they like games and will enter this industry.

Young people, who have only had a shallow time to enter the society, have a beautiful game ideal in their hearts, and are looking forward to making a unique and good game.

However, the current state of the game industry is very cruel.

Most company executives don't ask designers to make an innovative game.

Instead, they will ask, do you have any successful examples of your design ideas in the market?

If not, innovative games are almost always denied.

Then the high-level will give instructions, for example, this "Battle of the Three Kingdoms" is very popular, and our new game will follow its routine and renovate it into "Legend of the Three Kingdoms".

To put it nicely, innovation is risky, and if someone else's game is successful, then learn from it.

This kind of is commonplace in various game companies. Anyone who loves games is worried about this.

So much so that the designer, who has worked hard in a game company for many years, told a bad joke.

When I go to work every day, I don't design games, I copy games.

But now that it's time for Leli Entertainment, the situation is different.

The first thing to do is to innovate the game, no need to figure out how to change the tricks, play a hand to change the stars, which makes every employee full of motivation.

So, in the atmosphere of burning passion, the game production unfolded in an orderly manner.

Bai Jia purchased a lot from the resource station, and chose high-quality and expensive art resources, program functions, music and sound effects, character models, etc.

If you need to customize the resources, you can also find a reputable outsourcing company.

And the anime side.

"Madoka Magical Girl" confirmed a total of twelve episodes, and Lu Qianshu, as the director, needs to count the production costs.

After discussion with colleagues in the department, the main amount of money spent is concentrated on a few points.

First, special effects.

For example, in this anime, the witches who appear on the scene, in the enchantment, want to show their magic and weirdness.

Like snack witches, all kinds of anthropomorphic sweets, bizarre ukiyo-e style scenes, and so on.

There are also five-colored magical girls, their transformations and various cool performances during battles.

In short, these are to burn a lot of money, and they must be elegant and gorgeous, bringing a top-notch visual feast to the audience.

Of course, the quality of the picture also needs to be taken care of.

Second, OP, ED, theme song.

OP usually cuts an anime music video with a beautiful theme song.

On the one hand, it can quickly pull the audience into the plot, and on the other hand, if the OP can be engaging, it can leave a good impression on the audience.

In other words, a good drama, the OP at the beginning is its faΓ§ade.

It's like admiring a girl, the more delicate and beautiful the other person's appearance, the more she can be loved.

In the same way, the colorful OP can arouse the audience's interest in watching anime.

In the case of ED, after the ending of the anime plot, climax or suspense, exquisite music and MV will be presented, bringing the audience an aftertaste of enjoyment.

As we all know, some famous anime can capture the love of a large number of viewers just by relying on the theme songs of OP and ED.

For example, the top ten anime sad songs.

Lu Qianshu decided to arrange for a well-known singer in the industry to sing two theme songs, and the price was 10W for one song.

Third, voice actors.

The territory of the Yanhua State includes all of Asia.

In the anime part, the voice actors are divided into Chinese and Yingzhou, and they have their own audiences.

However, Yingzhou's language is softer and cute, which is more suitable for the theme of the magical girl series.

Voice actors can give souls to characters in anime, and of course Lu Qianshu doesn't dare to be sloppy in this regard, and directly asks the popularity to be at the top.

Madoka's voice actor, Yoshiko Hanabata.

Xiao Yan is from the battlefield to the original Bai Yi.

Sister Asami is Kaori Hinohashi.

Sayaka and apricot, pear and nochu white, respectively. They are all famous voice actors in Yingzhou, and they can sing and dance. In addition to these three points, the rest must be spent, relatively less.

Lu Qianshu counted the funds needed to produce "Madoka Magical Girl" and came to Lin Le's office.

"Mr. Lin, the production cost of "Madoka Magical Girl" this time is expected to be 240W, a total of twelve episodes, and a single episode is 20W."

Hearing Lu Qianshu's report, Lin Le, who was sitting on the boss's chair, was leisurely and happy, and his expression suddenly froze.

Damn, it's too little!

Commercial funding, gave 50W to the gaming department, and now there is still 310W.

"Rebuilding Civilization" is still making a lot of money, and it is conservatively estimated that it will cost 150W a month.

The settlement task is two months later, which means that you can still earn 300W.

Then, commercial funds are expected to have at least 610W.

After the deduction, wages and other messes will be paid, and no matter how you look at it, you will lose everything.

At this moment, Lu Qianshu saw that Lin Le was suddenly silent and preoccupied, and his heart was already beating a drum.

It can't be too much of a cost, right?

A normal anime episode is only 12W funding.,I want 20W for this.,It's a bit outrageous.。

Mr. Lin was so hesitant, he must not know how to say cut.

Mr. Lin is good enough, and he should save him a little company money.

At that moment, Lu Qianshu said: "Mr. Lin, this time my budget is wrong, you don't have to care about my mood." ”

"Indeed." Lin Le frowned and said: "You still haven't comprehended the spiritual core of Leli Mutual Entertainment, so you can share my worries." ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, it's all my fault." Lu Qianshu's face was full of panic, and he was busy admitting his mistakes, thinking that he was still inexperienced, and he didn't even know how to save costs, which disappointed Mr. Lin.

"Alright." Lin Le waved his hand and said, "Double the funds for me, and the rest will be the same." ”

"Mr. Lin, what do you mean?" Lu Qianshu looked stunned.

Lin Le said lightly: "To make animation, you must have a heart to pursue quality, which allows you to fill up the funds, but you have done so little, next time you must strictly follow my instructions."

Don't be afraid to spend money, because money doesn't measure dreams. ”

Hearing this, Lu Qianshu was speechless, feeling very ashamed in his heart, he was still too far behind, and he didn't realize that Lin was always a simple dreamer.

After cleaning up his emotions, Lu Qianshu's expression was solemn: "Mr. Lin, I remember your teachings."

......

Back to the animation department, Lu Qianshu told everyone the news.

After some discussion, everyone felt that since Mr. Lin had increased the funding to 480W, the funding for all aspects of animation would naturally be doubled.

The picture quality and various special effects are on par with the top Tianxuan animation in the industry.

The theme song of the OP, 100,000 is obviously too cheap.

Then ask the big name in the industry, the girl music group ClariS, to be in charge.

For example, the theme song of "My Sister Is Not So Cute" is sung by them.

As for ED, these top voice actors can sing anyway, so I just invited them to sing character songs.

One episode is changed to one ED, so that the audience has a new look and feel every time.

The rest of the details can also be added.

......

In this way, the production of the anime and game of "Madoka Magical Girl" began to get on the right track.
