If you don't animate, you will die

Chapter 71 The imitator

With the end of "Like You in vain", it also announced its double harvest of word-of-mouth and broadcast volume.

However, the number of broadcasts of "National Geographic Fat Edition" easily surpassed it. The broadcasts on nine platforms are certainly one of the reasons, but it will be a matter of time before the broadcasts of BL stations surpass "Like You in vain".

In the eyes of many people, the fire of "Fat Edition National Geographic" should get Wu Qi's attention, and this animation will definitely be updated in large numbers in the future.

However, just tonight, Wu Qi released a post again, ""Fat Edition National Geographic" will only be serialized for twelve episodes, and it will end in ten days, and the surrounding content will be announced when it is finished."

As soon as this news was posted, not only the fans were confused, but even the colleagues were confused.

Du Haiying is having a meeting with the staff at Haishang Shimmer Studios, "Do you think Dongfang Pictures will enter the 3D field? If they also start to do 3D animation, which field will they do first? Is it online animation, or is it like the fat version of National Geographic? A short story like ", or an animated movie?"

This question is relatively simple, and it was used by Du Haiying for the heat, and someone answered it soon.

"They will make 3D animations, and they will speed up the serialization of "Fat Version of National Geographic." This project is very valuable. If you want to squeeze out the value, I think it will take at least a year to serialize..."

After listening to his narration, everyone in the conference room nodded with a smile. Du Haiying also showed a confident smile, and was about to continue the meeting, but was interrupted by a timid female voice.

"Room, the head of the room..." It was a girl wearing glasses. Du Haiying took a look, wasn't this the newly promoted art supervisor?

She showed what she thought was a gentle smile, "What's the matter, let's talk."

"Wu, Wu Qi just posted a news..."

Du Haiying's face was full of question marks, what does Wu Qi's news have to do with me?

The girl saw that Du Haiying didn't understand, so she continued to explain, "Wu Qi said he wouldn't do the fat version of National Geographic."

As soon as these words were uttered, the conference room fell silent for a moment. Du Haiying's smile froze on his face, and then silently picked up the mobile phone on the table. Many people also made the same action, took out their mobile phones and opened the BL station.

Tens of seconds later, there were chattering voices in the conference room.

"Why is he?"

"Such a good plan, why don't you just say you won't do it?"

"It's too wasteful, isn't it?!"

"..."

Everyone was puzzled, and just when the meeting was about to go haywire, Du Haiying stood up.

"Ahem, that, our meeting continues, about the second episode of "Dawn of Omnics"..."

Fortunately, Du Haiying stopped this topic in time, otherwise they could have discussed it all morning...

More than 20 days have passed since the first day of the Lunar New Year. Years ago, Wu Qi reposted an animation called "Half God".

Wu Qi is sitting in the car now. He is going to the cinema to watch this animation. He was very busy for a while. Now that the client has finished seeing him, the production of the new animation has begun. It can be hosted for a while, and I finally have time to watch this animation.

At Hengdian Film and Television City, Wu Qi walked to the ticket office and said, "Bring me a ticket for "Demigod"."

"I'm sorry sir, Demigod was released yesterday."

Wu Qi: "???"

Wu Qi couldn't believe what he heard was true, and after several rounds of questioning, Wu Qi finally nodded and left the cinema.

He really didn't expect that this animation would be released in just over 20 days.

Wu Qi opened the browser and checked the box office of "Demigod 1", only 961.2 million.

Is there only this data?Although it was about 600 million more than Kuiba in his previous life, even so, he still lost a lot of money.

Wu Qi opened the NPPP website and searched for the score of "Half God 1", 8.3 points, this score is quite good, but there are too few people who rated it, only more than 100 people.

Guoman still has a long way to go, and Wu Qi has no choice but to return to the company and make his own animation.

Three days later, "The Fat Edition of National Geographic" was updated with another four episodes, and there are still three episodes left to officially end, and its broadcast volume is growing at an incredible speed.

Now, the broadcast volume of the entire network has exceeded [-] million. This animation is too short, and there is no cultural barrier to viewing. Coupled with Wu Qi's identity, all major video platforms will pay attention to his works. As long as there is a chance To get views, they don’t mind giving some necessary recommendation positions. This is a win-win business.

In this way, "Fat Edition National Geographic" is rapidly heading towards one billion views, and even if it reaches one billion, there is no sign of stopping at all.

The popularity of "Fat Edition National Geographic" naturally attracted the attention of colleagues, but they didn't understand Wu Qi's decision. He didn't cherish such a good opportunity, and it was over when he said it. He really has no business sense!
At present, there are not many domestic studios with independent animation production capabilities. Even if there are, most of them are outsourced to Yueben and Lighthouse countries.

Deep City, laser animation studio, which is a studio recently acquired by Penguin Empire.

As one of the richest companies in China, Penguins are naturally ambitious. Since animation can become popular, commercial and public ones will definitely not deceive people. Wu Qi’s first two works, and the current one "Fat version of National Geographic" has shown good commercial value.

However, Penguin's management is very dissatisfied with Wu Qi. In their opinion, if they are given the management of those three animations, they will definitely make a lot of money!In their eyes, Wu Qi’s ability to make money is not very good!

Moreover, they think they understand, Wu Qi can succeed, why can't they succeed, they are not short of money, they are not short of people, Wu's group and Penguin Empire are of the same order of magnitude, and the son of his Wu's group can do animation well , why can't they penguins?
So, on this day, Laser Animation launched a brand new project, "Zodiac Cards".

To put it simply, it is to make the twelve zodiac signs into paper images. If the zodiac signs are in the state of cards, how can we live in a three-dimensional world?

Like the "Fat Edition National Geographic", they are all short animations, but they are longer than Wu Qi, and each episode is about 3 minutes.

The director of the studio, Zhao Li, slapped the table in the conference room at that time, "Our goal is one billion views! We can't do "Tom and Mouse" and "Like You in vain", but this "Fat Edition National Geographic" We must surpass!"

The atmosphere in the whole studio is high, everyone is a professional, and they all understand the technology of the fat version of National Geographic, which is also the source of their confidence.

However, one thing they did not consider was the impact that making a 3D character look like 2D would have on the style of painting. However, Wu Qi had tried it when he was in school in his previous life, and the impact could only be described as horrific.

Moreover, Wu Qi's "Fat Edition National Geographic" relies half on the cuteness of the painting style, and the other half on the creativity of animation, and this idea is easy to expire. It will feel very fresh at the beginning, but if you want to watch it Dozens of hundreds of episodes, not a single line, no plot, really won't get tired of it?

This is also the reason why Wu Qi doesn't want to continue to do the follow-up. Now, Wu Qi is supervising the progress of "Fat Edition National Geographic" in the last week of Dongfang Pictures.

At the same time, in the office of the director of the Dark Horse Studio, Qiu Lin was on the phone, "Hello, boss, what's the matter?"

"Qiu Lin, have you paid attention to Wu Qi's new work "Fat Edition National Geographic" recently?"

Qiu Lin nodded, "Of course I paid attention, is there any question?"

"I think we can give it a try. This kind of 3D animated short film has too many views."

Qiu Lin was silent for two seconds, and then he responded in a very serious tone: "Boss, this matter is not that simple. This kind of animation is easy to get tired of watching. Wu Qi's approach is not unreasonable."

The person on the other side of the phone was silent for a while, "You mean, we can only watch, this is not an opportunity that can be copied?"

Qiu Lin pursed his lips, and organized his words slightly, "It is indeed impossible to copy, this animation has no plot, and it loses its freshness at the beginning, and it will become cold later, so we really can't do too much. "

"and…"

"And what?"

Qiu Lin organized his speech again, "I think we can focus more."

What does this sentence mean, does it mean that the big boss is not focused?The person on the other end of the phone was silent again for a few seconds, and then there was a sigh, "Okay, I still trust your judgment, after all, you are more professional than me, since you are focused, let's do the current animation well, yes Have you chosen the name of this animation?"

Hearing the boss's reply, Qiu Lin heaved a sigh of relief, but after hearing the question later, Qiu Lin straightened up again, "Get up, it's called "Love Kaleidoscope".

Talking about the animation he was working on, he didn't feel sleepy anymore. Hearing Qiu Lin's answer, the big boss also became more energetic, "Oh? Tell me about the plot."

Although the two were talking on the phone, Qiu Lin still showed a mysterious smile, "The key to this animation is this kaleidoscope, whoever the protagonist sees will have a good impression of the protagonist, but the kaleidoscope will change every month, Whether you can use this month to keep the other party's heart is the key."

"If you don't keep it, and you like it?"

"It's basically impossible. Others have developed a good impression of the protagonist for a month, and they have already self-guided. The character's 'self-guided strategy' is the core selling point of this animation."

"Oh, oh, I understand, I understand...hahahahahaha..."

There was a burst of laughter from the other end of the phone, and Qiu Lin laughed too. At that moment, the two of them seemed to have confirmed something... They were all lsp...

The next day, Wu Qi saw what he had been waiting for for a long time on the BL station. She updated 'Coffee Sauce'. Wu Qi had expected that the song he gave her was the simplest, and her singing skills were the best. She was the first to release the single, which was naturally expected.
