Almighty Game Designer

The problem with the original card painting is only the first step.

Other art resources, such as UI, original scene painting, card effects, etc., Chen Jiao intends to reprocess later, can outsource, can not outsource to himself.

There is also a more serious problem with finding a reliable animation producer.

For the world's animation companies, it should be fine to reproduce "My Name is MT", but Chen Jiao wants to do it more carefully, at least to reach the level of the next few seasons of "My Name is MT", which would be better than "Yamaguchi Mountain War Journal".

After all, this cartoon is tantamount to advertising the game, sacrificing the effect of advertising in order to save money, which is tantamount to the end of Sherbourne.

Chen Jiao himself did not know the people of the animation production company. He thought about it and decided to call Zhao Zihao.

After all, Zhao Zihao runs a gaming studio. He usually comes into contact with people in the gaming community. It should be easy to find a reliable animation production company.

On the phone, Chen Qiao simply said his request, and Zhao Zihao quickly sent Chen Qiao a contact number from the head of the animation studio.

This dazzling aurora studio is quite small and famous in the industry, and there are a few good national comic works, so there should be no problem in strength.

Chen Jiao briefly stated his requirements and arranged an interview with the person in charge there at the experience store tomorrow.

By the end of the conversation, Chen Qiao's eyes were almost closed.

“This super accelerator is really powerful...”

Chen Weiqiang strongly washed and fell asleep on the bed.

……

The next morning.

Chen Stranger has slept for ten hours and still feels a little sore.

No wonder this super accelerator can't be used continuously for a short period of time, it could be fatal!

Get up, wash, open the door normally.

Wen Lingwei, like Su Jianyu, arrives on time every morning at 10: 00 a.m., brings his own hand-painted board and laptop, and colors the cards in the conference room on the first floor of the experience store.

In the afternoon, the person in charge of the Turbo Studio arrived, and Chen Jiao led him into his own studio on the second floor.

This person in charge is called Guo Feng. He looks less than 40 years old. His face and qi are just slightly bald.

Chen Qiao didn't have many condoms either, so he opened the door directly to the mountains to give an overview of his needs.

“Here's the thing, I'm going to make an animation, and I'm going to make 10 episodes in the first season, about 10 minutes each. There is a theme song at the end of each slide. ”

“The characters, the scenes, the plots, the lines, the mirrors, all I can offer, you just have to do exactly what I need. ”

“So let me ask you, what is the budget for such an anime? ”

Guo Feng thought about it and asked: "Are you going to invest in full yourself? ”

Chen Jiao nodded: “Yes. ”

Guo Feng said: "Well, let me persuade you from a very personal perspective. The animation is a relatively large investment. If it doesn't burn, it may not recover the cost completely. This is even more risky if you have to do characters, plots, and mirrors yourself again. ”

“Of course, as long as you have enough money, we will do the same, just to remind you in good faith. ”

Chen Jiao nodded: “Well, thank you for the reminder. I have a number in mind. You can quote directly. ”

Guo Feng nodded: “OK. At present, in general, animation lasts about 24 minutes, at an average cost of about 500,000, equivalent to 20,000 per minute. Of course, this is one of the top standards in the industry and includes the costs of design, mirroring, scripts, etc. ”

Chen Weiqiang calmly wiped the cold sweat and said: "Hmm... I'll think about it. ”

In fact, the so-called top standards are basically the same as those of previous generations. As long as it is taken out, it must be big production, high definition quality, dubbing, BGM and so on are definitely top of the line.

But this cost is also really high for Chen Qiao, according to 20,000 a minute, 10 minutes a episode is 200,000, 10 episodes in the first season, that can go to 2 million.

The cost of "My Name Is MT" in previous generations is hard to say, but definitely less expensive and far from it.

Excellent music took out the copyright of "I'm MT" for 3 million dollars, enough to see that it was huge for the creation team of "I'm MT".

Guo Feng added: “Of course, the quality of the production is different and the price is definitely different. If you are willing to reduce the quality slightly, this money can be less. ”

“Of course, it depends on your needs. ”

"Is there a difference between 3D and 2D? ”

Guo Feng explained: “There is a difference, but not much difference. In fact, we now do 2D animation basically also with 3D to 2D, that is, using 3D technology to show the 2D effect. If it is purely 2D hand-painted, then the price may run for 89,000 per minute, and no-one usually does that anymore. ”

“Because pure 2D hand painting requires too many original painters, the previous 2D animation should be a labour-intensive industry, with the main money being spent on the original painter. Now, three-to-two technology is mature enough to save a lot of manpower, so the cost drops slightly. ”

Chen Jiao nodded, the parallel world is not quite the same as it was in previous life. Indeed, technology has changed the world.

Chen Jiao thought about it.

Two million dollars for the first season. Expensive?

Actually, it's not expensive for the profitability of MT. If "My Name is MT" is as successful in this world as it was in previous generations, it will only take a month to get all the money back for the 10 seasons of animation.

Besides, "My name is MT" doesn't have such a good audience base in this world. If the quality is not enough, if this IP doesn't fire, it will be too much for Chen stranger.

It's a small loss. He's a gambler!

So, Chan doesn't dare to save money on animation. It's expensive, as long as the quality can be made, that's fine!

Chen Jiao said seriously: "Yes, I have decided to do it according to high standards. But if I set up a script, I'd probably save some of that money. ”

Guo Feng nodded: “Of course, this cost can be cut some, but not too much. 10%. ”

Chen Qiao had to help the amount. There were really not many cuts, but by calculating, it would save him 200,000. This is all real gold and silver.

Guo Feng added: "However, if you come out with scripts and people set these up, you will have to work closely with our staff, mainly to finalize these settings and mirrors and other things in a timely manner, and try not to modify them frequently so as not to affect the production schedule after. ”

Chen Jiao nodded: “I know. So, a week from now, at the end of this month, I'm going to give you the first season's people, scripts and mirrors, and then we're going to sign a revised contract. ”
