"If I mark it as an adaptation, wouldn't it be strange if the audience couldn't find the original comic?"
013's serious answer: The Plane Culture and Propaganda Department will make this reasonable.
013 spoke in a serious tone, which did not sound fake. Since there was a system like 013 that went beyond common sense, then the existence of the so-called Plane Propaganda Department did not seem to be something that was difficult to understand, except...
Muxuxing thought about it and raised a question: "If I'm not mistaken, the authors of these works should not know the existence of other planes, right? The common currency may also be different. How did you solve this problem? Is the signature on the contract really the author's?"
The host does not need to worry. 100 billion cosmic coins is just a pseudonym. As for the specific remuneration, the Plane Culture and Propaganda Department will change the form and pay the corresponding remuneration to the original author in a more appropriate way in that plane.
Novels, comics, and animations are originally inseparable, and it is normal for comics to be adapted into animations. With 013's explanation, after confirming that the plane comics provided by the system had no copyright issues, Mu Suxing finally felt relieved and became interested in the resources provided by the system.
The Plane Culture Propaganda Department, as its name suggests, is established to promote plane culture. Therefore, the comics and novels that are purchased by this so-called propaganda department and put on the bookshelf must be the best of other planes.
With the idea of wanting to understand the level of comics in other dimensions, Mu Xuxing casually clicked on a comic called "Cells at Work!"
As soon as he opened the first page of the comic, his eyes lit up.
Human cells are personified... What a novel and interesting setting!
The human body is like a huge city, with various cells playing different roles, working and fighting constantly to maintain the health of the body. Red blood cells transport oxygen, white blood cells fight against foreign enemies, viruses invade from time to time...
An expert can tell whether something is good or not with just one look.
Although Mu Xuxing was not a famous animation master before his rebirth, he was also a well-known animation producer. Now, even after just watching the beginning, he immediately saw the value of this work.
The setting is novel, the style is cute, the characters are not outdated, and the imagination is unconstrained. Most importantly, it is not only enjoyable as a popular animation, but also has certain educational and popular science significance, allowing the audience to learn some knowledge about cells while enjoying the fun of the animation itself.
Once this comic is adapted into an animation and broadcast, I think not only teenagers will like it, but even parents will definitely be willing to let their children watch this kind of entertaining and educational animation.
The more Mu Xuxing read, the more excited he felt as if he had found a treasure, because he found that as the plot of the comic developed and his feelings for the cells in the comic deepened, he couldn't help but want to protect the cells in his body and try to minimize injuries.
Restraining his long-lost enthusiasm for work, Mu Suxing asked the system: "013, can I adapt this comic into an animation?"
The copyrights of comics and novels in the system mall are purchased by the Space-Time Culture and Publicity Department. If the host wants to adapt it into an animation, he must purchase the copyright of the comics from the Space-Time Culture and Publicity Department.
Mu Suxing was not disappointed with this result. Instead, he thought it was normal. How could there be so many pie-in-the-sky things in the world? He was lucky to be reborn, so he naturally would not ask for more.
"If I want to buy the rights to the anime adaptation of Cells at Work!, what do I have to pay?"
As soon as Muxuxing finished speaking, a table suddenly appeared in front of him, with the following words clearly written on it:
Name: Muxuxing
Age: 20
Reputation: 0 (unknown)
Original painting skills: Level 5
Audiovisual Aesthetics: Level 6
Animation Rendering: Level 5
Design Thinking: Level 5
Creation speed: Level 4
Shot rhythm: Level 5
Narrative Writing: Level 5
Achievement Points: 0
Mu Suxing took a quick look and found that his abilities were basically concentrated at level 5. It was understandable that his reputation was 0, after all, he was just an ordinary college student at the moment, but...
Looking at the last line of the table, Mu Suxing asked curiously, "What does achievement points mean?"
013 reminded: The purpose of the system is not only to train the host to become an animation master, but also to promote culture. When the host successfully promotes the plane culture, he will obtain different numbers of achievement points based on the results. The achievement points can be used to purchase novels and comic resources in the system mall, and can also be used for lotteries.
"lottery?"
Mu Suxing responded subconsciously, and then an interface that looked like a card drawing game appeared in front of him. In the center was a huge ball of light, which was still flashing. In the lower right corner was a treasure chest full of blue crystals, and next to it was clearly written: 200 achievement points/1800 achievement points for one draw/10 draws.
As an African who always has a bad face, Muxuxing decided to pretend that he didn't see the huge lottery page: "What about Cells at Work!? How many achievement points are needed to buy the copyright of this comic?"
The achievement points required to purchase the copyright of "Cells at Work!" are 3,000. Since the host is purchasing it for the first time, he can enjoy a 20% discount, and the discounted price is 2,400 achievement points.
Muxuxing looked at his current achievement points of 0 and fell into deep thought: "..."
Looking at the neatly arranged novels and comics in the system mall, Mu Suxing felt extremely depressed - what's the difference between this and having to watch delicious food in front of you but can only drool
Probably seeing Muxuxing's frustration, 013 continued: In order to assist the host in growing better and achieve the goal of promoting the plane culture as soon as possible, as a reward, the "Animation Master Development System" will give a newcomer gift package. The content of the gift package is: one freely selectable work with less than 2000 achievement points in the system mall, and one allocable ability point.
The discounted price of "Cells at Work!" is 2,400 achievement points.
Although he still cannot purchase the copyright of his favorite comics, Mu Suxing is very satisfied with this. The best is not necessarily the most suitable. Even if he buys the copyright of "Cells at Work!" now, he cannot start production immediately. At present, his understanding of the system mall is very limited, and he is not in a hurry to make a decision.
So, he turned to: "What are the allocable ability points?"
013 said: The allocable ability points can be used to increase the host's various skills. Ability points are the same as achievement points. In addition to obtaining ability points and achievement points by making animations in the mall and learning technologies from other planes, they can also be obtained by completing tasks issued by the system.
After saying this, the system promptly issued the task:
Main task: An excellent production team is the basis for creating excellent animations. Please form an animation production team that meets the system requirements within one year.
Animation Director (1/1)
Character Design (0/1)
Background design (0/1)
Color specification (color specification) (0/1)
Animation Director (0/1)
Art Director (0/1)
Original painting guidance (0/1)
Storyboard Artist (0/1)
Original Artist (0/1)
Animator (0/1)
Mission reward: one draw from the card pool ten times in a row, 1,000 achievement points.
In the entire task list, except for the animation director, all other positions are empty. Obviously, the system defaults to the host as the chief director.
Mu Suxing stared at the task list for a while, and suddenly said, "I think I can play multiple roles by myself, being the chief director, character designer, background designer, and storyboard artist... Can I count my mission as completed?"
No animation practitioner can start as an animation director right away, and Mu Xuxing is no exception. In the twenty years of his working career before his rebirth, Mu Xuxing could be said to have done all kinds of work in animation production very early on. Even if he were asked to do these jobs now, he would be able to do it with ease.
Later, even when he became an animation director, sometimes he would even do it himself because he couldn't find an art supervisor, storyboard artist or even dubbing director who met his needs.
013 said coldly: No.
Finally, he added: Animation production is not a one-man game, but the result of teamwork. Please have a correct attitude and complete the task well.
Mu Suxing was just asking casually. Animation production itself is a very tedious but huge process. Even computer rendering of one frame often takes 20-30 minutes. Without an excellent and complete production team, independent animation production can only be said to be a fantasy.
Being rejected by 013, Muxuxing did not bother to argue any further, but said, "I want to add my ability points to my creation speed."
As soon as he finished speaking, the system did as promised.
Ding, congratulations to the host for reaching level 5 in creative speed. Please keep working hard and become a household name animation master as soon as possible.
