Chapter 98: This brave man is too steady

The sales of "Divine Grace Continent" come from a wide range of sources, and the national sales only account for about 60%.

The rest are all from overseas players.

Among them, the personal version priced at 68 pieces for permanent buyout and the flagship version priced at 88 pieces including associated DLC accounted for the absolute majority of sales.

As of the end of July, the cumulative total sales of the personal version and the flagship version on all platforms have approached 2 million copies, making it the highest-grossing game in the history of Tianba Studio.

But it's almost the top!

According to the data provided by Xiao Lu, when the sales volume of "Divine Grace Continent" exceeded 1.8 million copies, the average daily download and installation volume fell off a cliff.

This also means that the potential of the game is almost exhausted, and the follow-up depends purely on discounts and slow grinding to increase sales.

The Pro version is stable.

The professional version priced at 999 yuan / month, the sales volume is not the point, after all, it is not even a fraction of the personal version, and there is no need to specifically mention it.

The key is stability!

Except for some unjust individual players who spend money to try it out and can't give full play to the strengths of the professional version, the professional version is more purchased and used by enterprises and studios.

These people use the pro version, experience the full features, and almost without hesitation to renew for a whole year.

In the short term, the professional version is indeed not as profitable as the personal version, after all, the personal version sells too much.

However, in the long run, the professional version of "Divine Grace Continent" will be the second largest source of continuous income for Tianba Studio after "Xianyu Digital".

"It's a pity that personalization hasn't opened yet......"

Chen Ba sighed.

The launch of personalized customization services,The original intention was to kill those animation companies.,Who knows,Everyone is ghostly.,It's not set at all.。

However, some companies have asked about personalized customization services, but they are all tentative inquiries, and the sincerity is not very sufficient......

The so-called sincerity is naturally the price.

Chen Ba thinks that the investment in an animation is often millions of millions, and there is a high probability that it will be dung, so it shouldn't be too much for me to collect some of it, right?

But the animation company couldn't accept it.

This is a clash of ideas, and the animation company is not very receptive to the plan proposed by Tianba Studio, thinking that the fee is too expensive.

Although the service was attentive.

In the personalized customization plan, they only need to provide irrelevant content such as character design, background setting, script and dubbing, and the rest is packaged by Tianba Studio.

Personalized customization service, the biggest selling point, and what these animation companies value the most, is the intelligence and real-time deduction of "NPC".

In traditional animation, except for the protagonist and a few characters around the protagonist, all other passers-by are just background boards.

This also leads to the fact that the world created by the animation will be very "fake" and not realistic enough!

But with the help of the intelligent NPC deduction of "Grace Continent", the world created by the animation suddenly becomes "vivid and vivid", and the sense of reality is more sufficient.

"They needed a reason."

Yang Dong explained: "No one took the lead, and everyone was very hesitant, doubting whether the Divine Grace Continent could achieve the effect we promised. ”

"What do you mean......"

Chen Ba frowned and said, "We need to build a model room and let others see the finished product, so that there will be a big wrongdoer?" ”

"That's right!"

Yang Dong nodded affirmatively.

The reason why no one is willing to pay for the personalized customization service of "Divine Grace Continent" has not yet opened is mainly due to the lack of "actual combat cases".

It's so expensive, so you have to give everyone a little confidence, right? But on the market, there is no animation made with the personalized customization service of "Divine Grace Continent"!

There is no precedent, and it involves such a large amount of investment, so it is normal for animation companies to choose to wait and see.

"Shall we do it ourselves, then?"

Thinking of the industry tradition that real estate developers usually decorate a model house by themselves in order to sell a house, Chen Ba suddenly had an idea.

Since everyone is so hesitant, Tianba Studio might as well take the initiative and prove with practical actions that the personalized customization service of "Divine Grace Continent" is indeed very good!

"Yes!"

Yang Dong has no opinion on this, but he still has a doubt: "However, we can only make games, and we haven't done animations......"

Oh yes!

Chen Ba's expression froze.

Although they are involved in all kinds of business, they have never done animation, and no one has relevant experience.

It's not like a normal animation.

Ordinary charismatic animation, whoever does it is the same, but Chen Ba wants to build a model room, since it is a model room, it must do better than ordinary charismatic animation.

In this way, just a few people from Tianba Studio really can't make a good "model room".

"I have an idea......"

"Tell me about it!"

"Didn't there be some animation companies that were interested in our personalized customization service for "Divine Grace Continent" before!"

Yang Dong slowly explained: "We can choose one of these interested animation companies to cooperate, do not charge their money, only take a revenue share, and give a sample to other companies." ”

Get the fame out first!

When this "model room" is built, everyone has seen the power of the personalized customization service of "Divine Grace Continent", and the business will naturally come to the door.

"Makes sense!"

"Then you go and ask and see who is willing to cooperate with us and become the first warrior to eat crabs......"

Chen Ba has no objection to this.

Although he doesn't know much, he also knows the truth that he can't be reluctant to let the child trap the wolf. People who engage in pyramid schemes know that they have to give some sweetness before deceiving people into the pit.

In order to promote the personalized customization service of "Divine Grace Continent", you can indeed earn a little less in the early stage, and you can't slaughter it too hard.

The question is, who will be the first warrior to dare to try "new technology"?

Penguin!

That's right, the first animation company to take the bait came from Penguin.

Penguin holds a lot of popular online text IPs waiting to be developed, including online text adaptation animations.

One of the major problems in the adaptation of animation from online texts is "long length and many characters".

Among them, the length of the article is the most difficult point to solve, as we all know, online articles start with millions of words, and it is very difficult to adapt.

There are too many deletions, and fans of the original work are dissatisfied.

If you don't cut it, you can't hold up the budget, and you really shoot the animation according to the rhythm of the original book, so the look is honestly not very good.

After all, one or two episodes are updated a week, and as a result, the plot content of these two episodes of the animation only adds up to one or two chapters of the original book, who can withstand this?

But the Divine Grace animation is different!

Divine Grace Animation focuses on a "large amount of management", using "Divine Grace Continent" to produce an online adaptation animation, relying on powerful real-time calculations, the update speed may be faster than the original book.

Putting aside these three Yunlan Sects, the animation has been done in the world, I didn't expect it, right?

But there will be a problem with the personal version or the professional version of "Divine Charity Continent......

NPCs are too smart!

Because they are too intelligent, they will not play according to the routine, that is, there are too many random events, which deviates from the original intention of "adapting the original book".

Therefore, penguins are pinning their hopes on the personalized customization services provided by "Grace Continent".

They hope that through personalized customization, they can solve the problem that NPCs do not play cards according to routines and do not follow the plot route of the original work, and adapt a series of well-known online masterpieces.

The solution to this problem has already been reached at the communication stage.

As long as the original online text is provided, Tianba Studio can let the NPCs of "Divine Grace Continent" change their identities and deduce the plot according to the plot route.

That's right, it's still deduction!

It's impossible to follow the plot completely, after all, these NPCs don't listen to Brother Ba very much.

However, through time and space backtracking, modification tools, etc., the range of plot deviation can be controlled within an acceptable range.

Here's an example.

The protagonist is a hero who saves the United States, and the original book fights the ruffian hooligans and saves the young lady. In the Divine Charism version, it is the children of rich families who are beaten, and the ordinary people are saved......

This bit of error or offset can just be fooled with "adaptation", so Penguin can also accept it.

It's just that in terms of price, the two sides did not negotiate.

This time, Tianba Studio proposed a "model room" plan, providing personalized customization services for free, and only charging a part of the income from animation, which made Penguin very interested.

So, the two sides hit it off.

After careful screening, a web article called "This Brave Man is Too Steady" finally stood out and became the goal of the first personalized customized "Divine Grace Animation".

First of all, although this original book is classified as "light", the subject matter still belongs to the Western fantasy genre that "Divine Grace Continent" is best at.

Secondly, the most essential and biggest attraction of this book is the solid character of the protagonist "Path", and the supporting characters and other subplots are secondary.

Other words......

Even if the NPC is a demon, causing the animation plot to deviate slightly from the original route, as long as the protagonist's character is still tight, then it's no problem.

For other animations, from preparation to production to broadcast, I don't know how long it will take.

But this is a charismatic animation!

On the first day, we talked about the details of the plan, and on the second day, we made a custom NPC for the protagonist "Path", imported the story background, and started the plot deduction in the afternoon.

On the third day, the anime started.

In fact, if it weren't for the penguin's cautious and repeated review of the finished quality of the animation, a 25-minute episode of animation would have been checked no less than ten times, and the animation would have been broadcast the next day.

Ten episodes a day are updated, and this is only the limit of voice actors and editors, not the limit of "Divine Grace Continent......

If it weren't for the voice actor's voice, the editor would have called "spare me", and Chen Ba would have wanted to update 100 episodes a day.

"This Brave Man is Too Steady" is an online article that became popular last year, and has a high popularity and fan base on the whole network.

After learning that this book was adapted into an anime, many fans were looking forward to the final product, and even had a hint of skepticism, questioning whether Penguin could do a good job as the protagonist "Path".

As a result, as soon as the animation "This Brave Man is Too Steady" jointly produced by Penguin Animation X Tianba Studio was broadcast, everyone was immediately relieved.

It's not just relieved.

It was a surprise to behold!

The animated version of "Path" is more afraid of death than the original book, and it simply engraves the word steady into his bones.

Although the adapted plot is slightly different from the original book, everyone understands that this is a "divine grace animation" after all, and it is already very powerful to restore it like this.

And most importantly...... The animated version is updated with ten episodes a day, do you understand what the concept is?

So blissful!

"This Brave Man is Too Steady" is actually not very high-quality, compared to those top animations, it can only be regarded as an upper middle level.

But it's better to be full......

Ten episodes are updated in one day, and the audience hasn't finished watching the update the day before, and there are ten more episodes the next day.

According to the official Penguin Video, the number of episodes that have been recorded for the animation is as high as 1074 episodes, and it is expected to end before the end of the year.

Yes, you heard it right.

A 1074-episode animation, not divided into one, two, or three seasons, is broadcast at one time, and it only takes three months!

Boy.

The audience laughed from ear to ear, and the video membership was directly renewed until next year, and Brother Ba also smiled happily, because the model house is available, and there will be no shortage of business in the future.

Only those friends who have new works broadcast at the same time, looking at the update progress of ten episodes a day of "This Brave Man is Too Steady", their faces are green.

This quality of animation, filmed and broadcasted, told me that I can update ten episodes a day? A thousand episodes in three months?

Chen Ba, you damn it!

Some people were so dizzy with anger that they felt that the future was dark, and some people joined if they couldn't beat it, and they turned their heads and contacted Tianba Studio.

All in all......

The impact of "This Brave Man is Too Stable" is actually more exaggerated than the original "Jayne's Adventures".

Because "The Adventures of Jayne" or other charismatic animations are all mass-produced works on the assembly line.

The lower limit of this animation is very high, but the upper limit is also very low, because it lacks a godlike plot and interesting characters, and the graphics are also poor.

And "This Brave Man is Too Steady" fills that gap.

As long as there is a suitable character, background and creativity, combined with the personalized customization service provided by Tianba Studio, you can produce an animation with a quality of 80-90 points.

And the output is extremely high, and it can produce 1,000 minutes of finished positive film in one day.

Although the picture quality can't catch up with the top, it's not much worse than ordinary animation, it's just a matter of the audience's aesthetic preferences.

How to play this?

Ordinary charismatic animation can only cover the theme of "another world". But the personalized customization of Tianba Studio has covered 80% of the animation themes.

The good news is......

"Divine Grace Continent" is limited by the turn-based game itself, and the fight can't be done well, and the animation with more gorgeous special effects can't be done.

Partial plot and daily animation is what "Grace Continent" is best at.

But it's terrifying!

Can't everyone not do daily life, plot-oriented animation, and all rush to roll the bloody battle of "Dragon Ball", right?

Considering the general trend of future development, many people finally decided to join if they couldn't beat it!

At present, charismatic animation has not become mainstream. After all, after leaving the other world, other themes are not easy to play......

But in this direction, it is definitely not wrong to do a few more charisma animations. Not only to gain experience in the future, but also to save costs.

Charismatic animation is too cheap!

Not to mention the 68 personal version and the 1,000 professional version, even the most expensive personalized customization, compared to the labor cost, is actually very cheap......
