Chapter 125: Talking and Animation Investment
Some creators are very stubborn.,Your work doesn't allow anyone to get involved.,Even if it's an editor.,He won't pay attention to you if you and he suggest modifying the plot.,If Mo Ran has the idea of this tendency,That's really right.,After all, working together to create comics is tantamount to eating with someone else.,Everyone has to run in with each other and cooperate.。 Some people can stand it, some people can't.
Mo Ran thought carefully for a while before raising her head and saying.
"I don't resist my words, I just want to be a cartoonist. As for whether to become famous through comic plots or through comic drawing, it seems that I can accept it. Mo Ran said with a wink.
"Still. I hadn't thought about this direction before. And the Dragon Kingdom comic book industry. There is no example of a top manga artist who is only responsible for drawing and not conceiving the plot. Will this work? ”
"Why not? It's man-made. Someone has to set a precedent for this. Xia Yan said.
"That's right, but according to your advice, where am I going to find a partner who can be worthy of my painting skills and is responsible for the plot conception." Mo Ran's head hurt even more when she thought of this.
Her eyes saw Xia Yan at this time
Xia Yan also looked at the same time.
I saw Mo Ran's thoughtful eyes.
Mo Ran's character has been figured out in the past few days, lively, cute, and straightforward.
Basically, they don't hide their emotions.
Well?
Xia Yan was a little hairy by her, and immediately reacted to what she was thinking after a few seconds.
"Senior sister, stop imagining. I still have my own updates to update, my own animations to make, and I don't have the time and energy to work with you as a manga artist. Xia Yan immediately interrupted her fantasy.
Xia Yan's voice extinguished the impulsion in Mo Ran's heart.
"In other words, aren't you going to develop in the direction of comics in your life?" When Mo Ran heard this, her expression froze, and she was a little lost.
Mo Ran also knew that her thoughts at that moment were a little whimsical, Xia Yan and her were ordinary university alumni.
Collaborative comics, that's a commercial act.
On weekdays, we study painting and music together, which is called cultivating sentiment and enriching hobbies.
But when it comes to business and money, how can it be so simple?
Who is Xia Yan?
The co-writer of Liuli Book Society, the first place in the selection of new gods, if light writing can enter the college entrance examination, it can be said that Xia Yan is the first in the country in the college entrance examination candidates in the light writing industry in the past two years.
Any of his works is now serialized into more than millions of profits, and she cooperates with a college student who has not yet debuted in the comic industry? She didn't think it was possible to think about it herself.
If she is Xia Yan, if this kind of person comes to make this kind of suggestion, it must also let that person roll as far as he can.
However, Xia Yan didn't speak for most of the day after the question she just asked, which made her a little strange.
When I looked closely, I saw Xia Yan who was contemplating.
[Aren't you ready to develop in the direction of comics in your life? 】
Mo Ran's words, although fluttering, made Xia Yan's brain think all of a sudden.
In the Dragon Kingdom Second Metaverse, comics, animation, and other categories all intersect.
If a work wants to be popular, it must be that comics and animations are adapted from each other, and strive to cover all categories of two-dimensional audiences.
Just like Xia Yan's unheard of flower name comic copyrights have been sold, there are also companies negotiating the copyright of comics that go to the moon.
Xia Yan has the opportunity to develop into the comic industry in the future
The answer to this question should be that it is impossible for Xia Yan not to develop in this direction.
A work like a parasitic beast can actually be barely adapted.
But in fact, Xia Yan felt a little wrong when he adapted the parasitic beast this time.
The text version of the parasitic beast has never been as comic as the original, the animation is so clear and intuitive, and the tension that can only be reflected on some screens, the effect of the text has never been as profound as the original, a little worse.
If he can draw comics, then he will definitely not make a version of the work of Parasitic Beast, but directly make it into a comic and serialize it in the comic magazine of the Dragon Kingdom.
The parasitic beasts are all fine, but after the adaptation, there is only a little bit of incongruity, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation.
If you get a slam dunk from Yuan Qing's memory in the future, chess souls and other works.
With hundreds of pieces on a chessboard, what is the game between the protagonist and the supporting characters? How do you describe that?
The position of ten people on the basketball court, how to run, how to defend, how to attack, how to describe this kind of thing?
Some excellent classics. is not suitable for writing.
But Xia Yan can't give it up just because he can't write achievements.
Although Xia Yan's suggestion just now was for Mo Ran, he thought about it for himself now.
I seem to be one of the audience on this topic.
Xia Yan thought for a while, then looked up again, and Mo Ran both had thoughtful expressions.
Mo Ran could see it from Xia Yan's hesitant expression and attitude.
Xia Yan is definitely not uninterested in the classification of comics.
That's right, he has no interest in comics, why did he join his own comic club.
As far as everyone she knows, no one is more powerful than Xia Yan in plot creation.
At least going to the moon is a complete subjugation of her. When I watched this serial chapter last year, I read it while crying with the three members of the comic club who have not yet graduated
If she really wants to find someone to work with, Xia Yan is the strongest partner she can find at this stage.
But
She couldn't take the initiative to talk about it.
She was indeed moved by Xia Yan's proposal and assumption.
But the gap between her status and Xia Yan's status in the two-dimensional industry is too big now.
A poor ordinary person wants to cooperate with a genius in the light industry? Why?
With her pretty? With her cute and charming? With her gentleness and virtuousness, is she a good girl who is rare in 10,000 years?
What do those have to do with Xia Yan?
This point of self-knowledge, Mo Ran still has it.
After the time entered November, Xia Yan's life in the Demon Capital area had also stabilized.
Classes are held during the day, and when there are few classes, I go to participate in club activities, and then write manuscripts in the evening.
And after the serialization of the parasite beast began, the work of Xia Yan and Tang Yin to discuss the shareholding of the animation studio has also begun.
If Tang Yin's animation studio had not injected capital, it would have been dissolved at that time, but the residual value of her personnel structure, equipment and rented office space was almost worth two million.
And the magical girl Madoka this anime.
Although the detailed investment is because Xia Yan has not fully created the script here, it is not possible to list a detailed data.
But in the animation studio, Yao Jiyong, who serves as an animation director, made the situation very clear to Xia Yan.
"Animation production is a practice of no money and no money, and there is a practice of burning money and burning money. An animation with a magical girl theme,It's cheaper.,Three or five million can be made.,It's nothing more than reducing the picture quality.,Frame rate.,Special effects.,Draw less original paintings.,If you want to save employee salaries,,It's inevitable that you can't find an excellent painter to join.。 For example, fresh graduates of animation majors need a senior internship, and telling them that participating in the production of this animation can add color to their resumes, and painting a big pie can also pull some low-cost interns to do the work of moving bricks at the bottom, and maybe some of them don't need money to work for free."
Yao Jiyong is a very direct person, middle-aged, a little blessed, old and young, but he didn't lie to Xia Yan when he was a pure animation newcomer, but told the truth.
But in any case, the investment of three or five million must be needed, and the labor cost of animation production is the majority, followed by publicity.
The price of general industrial technology products in the dragon country is very low, but the manpower is the same in high-income countries. It's expensive.
"But normally speaking, a small animation company like us rarely spends more than 10 million dollars on an animation, only those mature animation companies will spend about 20 million to produce a quarterly animation, and the cost of making an animation by those really large animation companies is not capped, hundreds of millions of dragon coins to produce an animation, after all, those companies have foreign sales channels."
Xia Yan went to the animation studio that occupied one-third of the office building on the outskirts of the magic capital rented by Tang Yin, and talked with Yao Jiyong for a long time, and he understood what Yao Jiyong meant.
Together, in one sentence
You get what you pay for.
Animation, picture quality, painting, viewing experience, that's piled up with money.
"I see." Xia Yan thought for a while.
He now has a total of 23 million in his account, and then almost every month there will be passive copyright income from his previous works, which is about one million yuan.
But Xia Yan never likes to be under full pressure when doing things.
He is not a gambler.
The probability of the magic circle hitting the streets in this world is very low, but it is not zero.
Someone can win the million-dollar jackpot lottery for two dollars, and the odds of hitting the street are still far higher than the odds of winning the lottery.
"That's it. I can invest 16 million in our company's next production."
Xia Yan, in front of the company's animation director Yao Jiyong, music supervisor Chi Rong, and painting supervisor in the conference room. A series of important members of the studio, clicked on the animation project of "Madoka Magical Girl" that he spent three days writing on his laptop.
Of course, Xia Yan's ppt is quite average, and it can even be said to be rubbish, but the content is concise and clear enough.
He explained it for ten minutes.
"So boss you. Are you going to invest 16 million to make a boss your own original magical girl-themed work? ”
