Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 1023 a cartoon

  Chapter 1023 A cartoon

  1023

   "Mr. Takeyu, this is Shinji Asami, the best animation director in our production bureau."

  In TV TOKYO, Takeyuho is meeting with an animation producer in the best living room here.

Not long ago, when the three films Metal Gear Solid, Uncharted Sea, and Ready Player One were released, Zhu Youxing took the initiative to find someone from TV Tokyo, and wanted them to help contact an animation director. Zhu Youxing asked for this The animation director is a person who has enough experience in the animation field and is good at producing sci-fi and dystopian styles.

  TV TOKYO is now a sacred place in the hearts of many animators in the animation industry.

   Even though TV Tokyo in this world is developing quite smoothly, it has not given up on the animation industry. While vigorously developing live-action TV dramas and various variety shows, it also arranges several fixed time slots to broadcast some excellent animations every day.

At the beginning, other TV stations looked down on the profits brought by cartoons. They thought that cartoons could not make much money, and not many people were willing to pay for the advertisements in cartoons, and the advertisements in cartoons were also expensive. Very restrictive, and advertisers don't like it.

  But they didn’t expect that TV Tokyo would go its own way. They first vigorously developed the animation industry, and then learned from Yuxing Electronic Entertainment to create the game industry system, creating TV Tokyo’s own animation industry factory.

A large number of well-known animation IPs were born from this factory, and then they did not insert advertisements in these animations, but authorized various IPs in the animations to make toys, trading cards and various Such peripheral products.

Although these things seem to be liked only by children, children want to buy these things like crazy, but these children themselves have no spending power, so they can only seek their parents, and parents generally do not spend too much money on their children's consumption. stingy.

  Under the premise that there are not many advertisements, the derivative income brought by animation is far more than that of ordinary well-known TV series.

When other TV stations wanted to follow up, they found it was too late. TV Tokyo had established its own mature industrial system. If others wanted to build it, they had to start from scratch, or pay a lot of money to poach the wall. In short, they would never so easy.

  So, if Takeyuho wants to find a good enough animation director, then only TV Tokyo can help him.

  The current director of TV TOKYO received Takeshi in person. After all, Takeyou also holds the shares of TV TOKYO.

   Naturally, he fully cooperated with Zhu Youxing's request, and quickly found the most suitable candidate he thought.

  ‘Asami Shinji’

  Having worked in the animation industry for more than 20 years, he is quite a veteran in the animation industry.

  He has created too many excellent cartoons to count, and he also has a very extraordinary position in the animation industry.

   Originally, he didn't want to come here, but the person who came to him was the director of TV Tokyo, and the director always wanted to give him face.

Zhu Yuxing took out a document, put it on the coffee table and pushed it in front of Shinji Asami, and said, "Mr. Asami, it's a pleasure to meet you, let's stop talking, this is the rough script of a science fiction story I prepared , the details definitely need to be refined, but with your professionalism, refinement is definitely not a problem."

   Asami Shinji glanced at the script on the coffee table and asked curiously: "May I first ask if you plan to shoot casually or seriously?"

   "I'm sorry Mr. Takeyou, Mr. Asami has always been outspoken, I hope you don't mind." The current director of TV Tokyo quickly explained to Takeyouxing.

Zhu Youxing waved his hand with a smile and said: "It's okay, what I want to say is that I definitely plan to shoot this cartoon seriously. Although the investment budget is definitely not up to the level of top movies, I can still come up with 50 million yuan. US dollars to provide the filming."

   "Pfft!! How much?"

   Asami Nobuji originally planned to drink his saliva, but he was suddenly taken aback by the amount that Zhu Yuxing said.

  Fifty million US dollars to shoot an animation, this is the animation with the largest one-time investment he has ever made.

   This gave him the illusion of mishearing, isn't it 50 million yen?

  But 50 million yen is probably enough to shoot a short play with two or three episodes.

   "Fifty million dollars, this is not a lot of money. Judging from your past achievements and reputation, you are capable of controlling such an investment in animation."

   Not a lot of money...

   Asami Shinji felt that he should change his attitude towards Takeyusei.

  Zhu Youxing is a big sponsor.

  Even though he thinks highly of himself, he still has no resistance in front of money.

  No one dislikes money, this is normal.

  Then even if Zhu Youxing asks him to just shoot a pile of **** that doesn’t seem to make any sense, he will definitely take the job.

  Of course, he will definitely not be a trash easily.

   Unless you add money...

Hearing that Zhu Youxing was willing to give so much money, he thought of another thing, that is, maybe the script written by the big man in the game industry in front of him is not very good, and if he refuses to use such a script, the other party will Not upset or anything.

   Forget it, for the sake of money, no matter how bad it is, it is acceptable.

   Asami Shinji's attitude is obviously more serious than before.

  He asked: "Mr. Takeyu, how many episodes of animation do you plan to shoot, and what is the average duration."

  Suddenly, Nobuji Asami was a little worried about whether Takeyusei planned to let him make a 180-episode animated feature film.

  In that case, the funds are also quite rich, but he is not very willing to make such a long cartoon. He prefers an average of a dozen episodes of short and fast cartoons. At most, they can be produced in seasons, and only about ten episodes per year are enough.

"Counting the opening and ending songs of the cartoon, try to keep each episode within 25 minutes. As for the number of episodes... I estimate that the story can be almost finished in ten episodes. Of course, if you have any For better ideas, if you want to expand the world view or increase the connotation of animation, it can also be discussed.”

Zhu Yuxing is not an expert in shooting cartoons. He can directly reproduce the animation and other cultures of the original world, but maybe the direct reproduction may also be unacceptable, so it is better to simply hand it over to skilled workers and let them follow their own The given script is optimized for localization. If they can really produce something better than the original version, he can also accept it.

  As for the cartoon Zhu Youxing wants to make this time, it is a derivative animation of the Cyberpunk 2077 series, an animation that brings the original Cyberpunk 2077 game back to life again.

  Cyberpunk Edgewalker.
