After the specific animation plan is determined, the next step is to assign personnel.
According to Mu Suxing's plan, the main focus of the next stage of Huaying Animation will be on the two long-form animations "Naruto" and "One Piece", as well as the Detective Conan theatrical versions "The Magician of the Century's End" and "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" which were originally scheduled to be released at the end of this year and the Lunar New Year holiday next year.
Two feature-length animations, two feature-length films.
Even for today's cartoonists with abundant resources, it is not an easy task to complete these works without affecting other links.
In this situation where time is already tight, personnel arrangements become particularly important.
"The general situation is as you can see." After everyone in the conference room finished reading the materials in their hands, Mu Suxing continued, "If nothing unexpected happens, my ideal release time for Naruto and One Piece will be this summer."
"Time may be a bit tight, you can choose the one you are more interested in between these two animations."
Thinking of the two animated films that will be released during Christmas and the Lunar New Year, Mu Suxing thought for a moment and added, "Of course, if you are more interested in The Magician at the End of the Century or Prisoner of Azkaban, you can choose to join the latter two production teams."
Fang Lian raised his hand: "I have a question."
"What's the problem?"
"As for animated films, it's definitely based on the schedule. What I'm curious about is, Naruto and One Piece should also be long series like Detective Conan, right?" Fang Lian asked him, "If we choose one of these two, will we have time to rest in between?"
No wonder he asked that.
For long-running anime works like Naruto and One Piece, which are bound to become hits, the production companies, for profit considerations, will generally continue to serialize them in weekly form unless absolutely necessary. This is the choice made by the animation production teams of Naruto and One Piece in the parallel world.
There are certainly benefits to doing this.
Under the circumstance that the popularity of animation works is stable, this kind of stable animation production with one update per week is equivalent to a stable income for the company. The audience will become sticky to the animation itself while following the updates, and will naturally continue to follow it.
Mu Xiuxing understood the truth, but he was not prepared to do so.
He was planning to take a break from updating.
Continuous updates are good, but the problem is that the length of these two animations and the production cycle brought to the production staff are too long. If we really want to pursue long-term continuous updates, the speed can be achieved, but the quality of the animation itself will be difficult to guarantee.
You know, the serialization time of these two animations is at least nearly ten years!
With such a long production cycle and enormous work pressure, even experienced cartoonists would find it difficult to cope in the long run.
Not only that…
Mu Xiuxing recalled the scene in another world.
In a parallel world, fans of the original comics are actually very dissatisfied with these two animated works.
It’s not that the production company intentionally cut corners, but under the rigid requirements of not being able to stop updating and not being able to catch up with the progress of the original manga, the production team can only force the plot to be watered down, or add some original plots that are not in the original manga, so that in the later stages of the animation, more than half of an episode may be a review of previous events.
The original plot created by the animation team either has poor character portrayal or the settings in the plot are inconsistent with the later plots in the original comics, causing the entire animation to fall into an embarrassing situation of inconsistency.
As time goes by, fans of the original comics will naturally have a lot of complaints.
It is such an excellent comic work, but the long-form animation adaptation has become increasingly worse as it goes on. How can the fans not be angry
This is also the reason why Mu Suxing gave up on continuing to update weekly.
Compared to the parallel world that was animated simultaneously with the comics, although the animation did not have the problem of catching up with the plot of the comics, for the sake of the quality of the animation itself, it naturally had to stop when it was time to stop.
Therefore, in response to Fang Lian's question, Mu Suxing said affirmatively: "Of course."
"The specific frequency and period of suspension will be determined based on the actual progress of the animation. What is certain at the moment is that there will definitely be a break for everyone," Mu Suxing said frankly, "This is also for the sake of the quality of the animation itself."
With Muxuxing's guarantee, everyone no longer hesitated.
"Then I'll choose Naruto. I'm more interested in this subject."
"I choose One Piece! I wanted to do something like pirates or the sea before, but it was too unpopular and there were no suitable projects, so I gave up. Now I finally have the chance to make my dream come true!"
Fang Lian, who was arguing with Wen Feihang just now, hesitated for a while and finally shook his head: "I'd better choose "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban." "Naruto" is good, but it is a 2D animation after all. The development direction he aspires to is technical flows such as CG and VR.
Choosing the Harry Potter series is also a valuable training opportunity for him.
Muxuxing did not delay too long on this link.
After initially determining their respective choices, Muxuxing quickly shifted his attention to other departments.
He first went to the comics department and had a chat with the author who was serializing the infinite flow comics. This was both to broaden the other party's thinking and as a reminder - Mu Suxing hoped that in the infinite flow comics of Huaying Comics, settings related to the Huaying Theme Park could be appropriately introduced.
Not to mention far away, there is a haunted house in Huaying Theme Park.
According to Muxuxing's idea, the theme of Huaying Theme Park has always been fixed on the "second dimension". In other words, the amusement facilities inside the theme park should be closely related to the works of Huaying Animation, and should be updated as the works of Huaying are updated. The haunted house is of course no exception.
The theme of the first issue of the haunted house is "The Witch's House", where countless "souls" were killed not long ago.
When the visitors of Huaying Theme Park have had enough of the "Witch's House" themed haunted house, the theme park will naturally update the theme of the haunted house.
After the comics club, it was the painting, shadow and game club that Mu Xuxing had arranged in advance.
Just as Huaying promised when it acquired Jingji Interactive Entertainment a few years ago, Huaying Animation will not force Huaying Games to make any specific games. But similarly, if Jingji Interactive Entertainment wants to use Huaying's investment to make games, it also needs approval from the head office before it can get the investment funds.
When Mu Suxing pushed the door open, several executives from Huaying Entertainment were gathered together, discussing a new game that would be submitted for review tomorrow.
“Isn’t this data too outrageous?”
"If you ask me, we shouldn't make this game realistic. Although games are not equal to reality, wouldn't it be embarrassing if we were slapped in the face? I heard that many fans of the team are also quite cruel. If one of our character values is not set scientifically, I'm afraid we will be criticized to death, right?"
Because they were in their own studio, the people in the game department had no intention of lowering their voices. Therefore, when Mu Suxing came in from outside, he heard everything they were talking about. He was surprised and asked, "What kind of game is this? It actually involves reality?"
Considering that his boss would sooner or later see the full picture of the game plan, Jiang Yucheng had no intention of hiding it when he saw the other party asking about it. He immediately said frankly: "This is a simulation management game with the theme of e-sports." Then he introduced the general gameplay to Mu Suxing.
After listening for a while, Mu Xuxing understood what he meant.
The game is called "Championship Manager". As the name suggests, in this game, players will play the role of a manager in an e-sports team. The gameplay includes buying and selling players during the transfer period, leading players to play games, handling emergencies during and outside the game, etc.
In short, all gameplay in the game will completely simulate the management of a real team. Players can lead their team to win the championship of each season and build their own dynasty through their own efforts. They can also cultivate a star team with both strength and commercial value and develop the team into the world's top powerhouse.
The core of the dispute among several people is that in order to increase the sense of immersion in the game, the setting of this game is not fictional, but is completely based on reality.
in other words.
In the real Blue Star e-sports professional league, all the well-known and unknown professional teams, players and even club managers will exist in this game. After the game is released, the game expansion pack will be updated within a real season.
At the same time, players have many choices.
For players, they can choose their favorite team and help their favorite team win in the game, realizing the regrets that are destined to be impossible in reality; they can also choose an unheard-of transparent team in the low-level league, start from the lowest league and climb up step by step, and feel the fun of developing a small team from scratch.
Such games are certainly fun, but they also have drawbacks - as they said during the discussion, almost every character in the game exists in reality.
Since it is a character, it must have a numerical value.
If you set this character's command ability to 200 and that character's command ability to 150, will the fans and the players themselves be happy with that
Muxuxing thought about it and said, "It doesn't matter."
Unlike the parallel world, on Blue Star, as a type of sports competition, the popularity of e-sports is almost second only to football. In fact, the official attitude towards these derivatives is similar to the parallel world's professional football league's attitude towards games such as "Football Manager".
Not only do they not feel disgusted, sometimes, they will even do a little research on players who have outstanding in-game numbers but are not very famous in real life, and use the in-game numbers as a reference for reality.
Mu Suxing thought of the popular e-sports game in the parallel world called "The King's Avatar". After thinking for a while, he decided to remind the other party: "In fact, compared to the character data, I think you can consider setting some more humane details and use them as the core selling point."
"Details that are humane?" Jiang Yucheng asked curiously, "How do you put this?"
The author has something to say: The plot is not finished yet
It's too late today, I'll update twice tomorrow:,,,
