To become the richest man from the beginning of the game

Chapter 1392 The short and powerful "Academy of Agents"

A few minutes later, Wu Chuan knocked on the door and entered.

"Mr. Pei, this is the first episode of the anime "Academic of the Acting Man" made according to your previous instructions."

As Wu Chuan spoke, he handed over the tablet.

Pei Qian reached out to take it and clicked to play.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, Pei Qian fell silent while watching the finished video.

Boy, this length!
If you don't pay attention, it will disappear, which is really unexpected.

When Pei Qian watched "Successor" before, one episode was one hour. After going to work in the afternoon, he finished watching three episodes of "Successor" in the conference room, and he could leave work immediately.

In the end, this "Proctor Academy" is good, the first episode counts the opening and closing credits, a total of 14 minutes!

In other words, if the opening and ending credits are cut off, the episode will only last 10 minutes.

Although I had expected the shortness of "The Walker Academy" before, I never expected it to be so short!

Of course, Wu Chuan can't be blamed for this, after all, that's what Pei Qian asked for at the beginning.

At the beginning, Wu Chuan spent a long time investigating all the animation studios in China, but Pei Qian was not satisfied. He felt that the possibility of making money from these animation studios was too great, so he slapped his head and decided to use it as a game studio. Do it in a real-time way, and use real-time calculation to make animation.

Of course, Wu Chuan also put forward a lot of opinions. The general idea is that the real-time calculation may have to redo these models, and it is not easy to control the cost and the difficulty is too high if we need to find a special motion capture actor.

So Pei Qian was happy, this is what he wanted!
In the end, "The Walker Academy" was forced to use the method of real-time calculation. Wu Chuan recruited a group of people inside Feihuang Studio, and then dug out a group of people from the outside, and started production.

Of course, Pei Qian must also give the greatest financial support here. How can he stand by and watch such a good thing that burns money?

At the beginning, Pei Qian's request was that 15 minutes to 10 minutes per episode would be enough, and this time was quite appropriate.

As long as one phase is completed before the settlement, it can be regarded as the completion of the task, at least the project is considered to be online, the system can't choose this reason, right?

Now it seems that Wu Chuan has completed the task ahead of schedule, but his completion of this task is a bit discounted.

What about the agreed 15 minutes to 10 minutes?This is obviously only 10 minutes!
Short and weak!

Pei Qian said: "It seems to be... a little shorter than I imagined."

Wu Chuan hastily explained: "Actually, I originally planned to make it longer than 15 minutes, but in the actual production process, I found that the original work of "Proctor Academy" itself has a relatively fragmented plot, and it is more appropriate to make it 10 minutes, 15 minutes." If it takes minutes, it is difficult to stop at a particularly perfect place."

"And, after all, this is a new way of making animation, which is full of risks. The first episode should be shorter, and the finished product should be released first to see the effect. If any problems are found, they can be corrected in time."

"Of course, Mr. Pei, if you feel that the time is too short and the audience may not be able to accept it, then I can go back and cut some of the content planned for the second episode, making it 15 minutes long, or just a two-part One made two 10 minutes."

Pei Qian raised his hand: "Forget it, in fact, looking at it this way, 10 minutes is not bad."

He suddenly realized that the shorter and the more out of context, the less the audience would like to watch it, wouldn't it?

There's nothing wrong with being short.

The quality of the first episode, in all fairness, was okay.

It's not particularly good, nor is it particularly bad.

Although there are ready-made hero modeling in GOG games, and the modeling is also very detailed, it is not enough to directly use it for animation.After all, GOG's perspective determines that there is no need to achieve the level of sophistication of stand-alone games, which will take up more resources, and running on some low-end computers will freeze and reduce the number of players.

Therefore, although the production team of "Proctor Academy" can directly use the hero models and some scene materials from GOG, it still needs to be refined and adjusted.

Judging from the finished product, compared with some folk self-made animations and short dramas, "The Walker Academy" is definitely a qualitative improvement.

After all, the entire animation production team was drawn from Feihuang Studio, and some professionals were recruited from outside. This kind of regular army is by no means comparable to ordinary amateurs.

But from another point of view, the production level of the first episode of "Proctor Academy" still has a big gap compared with some foreign dramas and the works of domestic first-class animation production companies.

Considering the large amount of resources that Tenda Group invested in "Proctor Academy" and the speed of content output...

This project seems to be ok?Can lose?
Pei Qian figured it out, the last time Wu Chuan came to him to formally finalize the matter of "The Walker Academy" was at the end of October last year, so the official start of production should have been in early November, and it has been almost two months now.

It took two months to come up with an episode? 10 minutes?
That efficiency is really impressive.

Of course, Pei Qian didn't mean to blame at all, but felt that Wu Chuan did a good job.

You have to have more employees like this to lose money!
Even if the process is proficient and the production speed is accelerated, the efficiency will be doubled at most, right?

One episode a month, no more.

As a result, an episode is only 10 minutes long. If the number of views is sky-high, how much money can there be?
Since "Proctor Academy" is a short animation, it must be the same as "Successor", you can only discuss cooperation with video sites, or buy it out at a one-off price, or calculate the share based on the number of views and popularity.

But "Proctor Academy" is not as good as "Successor"!

No matter how scolded "Successor" is now, it is still a high-standard big production, and there are guest appearances by movie stars like Lu Zhiyao, which can scare the Ellis Island website.

And "The Walker Academy", what can you do?At most, it is the same treatment as other Chinese comics.

At that time, no matter whether it is a buyout or a share, it will not make too much money.

Considering this production cycle, this quality...

stable!
Of course, there is another point that must be considered, which is the plot of "The Walker Academy".

Pei Qian thinks that this plot is not bad, and it is a good reproduction of the original work. In short, it uses the hero characters in GOG as the background, and tells the funny daily life of a group of agents (that is, players). The more extensive stalks have also created some jokes, which are more than enough to make a meal video when eating.

But is it particularly exciting?

That's it.

In short, this is an anime with a good plot and quality, but factors such as time, investment, and update frequency determine that it will definitely not be a big hit.

That's reassuring.

"Okay, I think it's good, let's broadcast it directly!" Pei Qian handed the tablet back.

Wu Chuan was stunned for a moment: "Is this going to be broadcast? Boss Pei, don't you want to make any comments and change it?"

Pei Qian shook his head: "What's the point of commenting? I don't know much about this. You are all professionals, and you must be better than me."

"Besides, from the perspective of a veteran Ellis Island viewer, the filming is quite good, and there is no problem as a meal video. Now that the quality has reached this point, there is no need to go any further."

"Hurry up, fast is the last word!"

Pei Qian tried his best to instill in Wu Chuan the concept of "almost enough", hoping that the quality of "The Walker Academy" can stop here, and it must not be overstated.

Even if there are any small problems, don't change it again, it's almost fine.

Wu Chuan nodded: "Alright Mr. Pei, then do as you said, and I'll contact the video site right away."

"Then... What kind of charging model will be adopted for the "Proctor Academy"? If the buyout system is adopted, I am afraid that it is the first time we are making animation, and the price will not be very high..."

Pei Qian waved his hand: "This is easy to handle. You can go to Huang Sibo and then talk to the Ellis Island website. It's still the same as "Successor". The share is calculated according to the number of views, ratings and other factors."

"But it is still a little different from "Successor". The influencing factors of the score should be as low as possible, and the influencing factors of the total playback volume and total viewing time should be higher."

Pei Qian pondered that the production level of "Proctor Academy" itself is not bad. Although it is not as good as some of the top animation films in China, it is considered to be the best in the domestic animation section of the Ellis Island website.

Considering the preference of GOG players for this theme, and the fact that short comedy dramas may be naturally popular, this score is likely not to be low, and it is completely incomparable with the situation faced by "Successor".

That being the case, then tilt the focus of the share towards the total playback volume, especially the total viewing time.

According to the tortoise-speed update frequency of "The Walker Academy", this is as short as an embroidery needle, and how many plays can a 10-minute feature film have in a month?
Even if the playback volume is good, there will be no problem with the total duration, right?
Wu Chuan was stunned for a moment, but he still didn't say anything, and nodded, "Okay, Boss Pei, I'll make arrangements right now."

Watching Wu Chuan leave, Pei Qian couldn't help feeling a little happy.

Double happiness!
"Successor" aired two more episodes last weekend, and Meng Chang's promotional resources have been pouring in, but the situation is still not profitable, and the ratings fluctuate, but overall it is still very sluggish.

Now strike while the iron is hot, "The Walker Academy" is released again, even if it has a good reputation, but as long as it can't make money, then everything is fine.

Calculated in this way, the inspiration class of Dianzhong Chinese.com has three copyright adaptation projects, two of which are losing money and one is making money.

The only one that makes money is "Reincarnation", which is completely acceptable.

After all, with the popularity of "Return to the Shore" first, and it was developed by Tenda's game department, it is understandable to make money.

What's more, I also gained Yu Fei as the main designer, and arranged for Hu Xianbin. It's not a loss for me to come and go.

Thinking about it this way, I am quite optimistic!
