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.”

At TV Tokyo, Takeyusei was meeting with an animation producer in the best living room here.

Not long ago, when the three movies Metal Gear Solid, Uncharted and Ready Player One were released, Takeyusei took the initiative to approach people from TV Tokyo and asked them to help contact an animation director. Takeyusei asked for this The animation director is a person who is experienced enough in the field of animation and is good at producing science fiction and dystopian styles.

 TV Tokyo is now the holy 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 series and various variety shows, it also arranges several fixed time slots to broadcast some outstanding cartoons every day.

Other TV stations initially looked down upon the income brought by cartoons. They believed that cartoons could not make much money. Not many people were willing to pay for the advertisements inserted in cartoons, and the advertisements inserted in cartoons were also expensive. It’s very limiting 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 and created TV Tokyo’s own animation industry factory.

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

Although it seems that only children like these things, children are crazy to want to buy these things. However, these children themselves have no spending power, so they can only seek help from their parents, and parents generally do not pay too much attention to their children's consumption. stingy.

Without much advertising, the derivative revenue brought by animation far exceeds that of ordinary well-known TV series.

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

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

The current director of TV Tokyo personally received Takeyusei. After all, Takeyusei now also occupies shares of TV Tokyo and is considered one of the shareholders. As the director, he still relies on Takeyusei's support.

He naturally fully cooperated with Zhu Youxing's request and quickly found the person he thought was the most suitable candidate.

 ‘Asami Nobuyuki’

ˆHaving been working in the animation industry for more than 20 years, she is a very senior animation industry insider.

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

Originally, he didn’t really want to come over, but the person who came to find him was the director of Tokyo TV, and the director always had to give face.

Takeyusei took out a document, put it on the coffee table and pushed it in front of Asami Shinji and said: "Mr. Asami, it's nice to meet you. Let's stop chatting. 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: "Can I ask first if you plan to film casually or seriously?"

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

Zhu Youxing waved his hands with a smile and said: "It doesn't matter. 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 a top movie, I can still spend 50 million. dollars to fund the filming.”

 “Pfft!! How much?”

Asami Shinji originally planned to take a drink of water, but was suddenly shocked by the amount of money Takeyusei said.

 50 million US dollars was spent to shoot the animated film, which was the largest one-time investment he had ever made in animation.

This gave him the impression that he had misheard it. Was it fifty million yen?

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

“Fifty million US dollars is not a big sum of money. Judging from your past performance and reputation, you are capable of handling such an investment in animation.”

 It’s not a lot of money…

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

 Zhu Youxing is a big financier.

Even though he thinks highly of himself, he is still powerless in the face of money.

 No one dislikes money, this is normal.

Then even if Zhu Youxing asked him to just shoot a bunch of meaningless garbage, he would definitely take the job.

Of course, he will definitely not do **** easily.

 Unless you add money…

Hearing that Zhu Youxing was willing to pay so much money, he thought of one more thing, that is, the script written by the big boss in the game industry in front of him was not very good, and if he refused to use such a script, the other party would Not unhappy or anything like that.

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

 Asami Nobutsu's attitude was obviously more serious than before.

 He asked: "Mr. Zhuyou, how many episodes of cartoons do you plan to shoot, and what is the average length?"

Asami Shinji was suddenly a little worried whether Takeyusei planned to let him make an animated feature film with 180 episodes.

 In that case, the funds would still be quite generous, but he was not very willing to make such a long cartoon. He preferred short and fast cartoons with an average of a dozen episodes, which could be produced in seasons at most. Only about ten episodes per year would be enough.

"Including the opening and ending songs of cartoons, each episode should be within twenty-five minutes. As for the number of episodes to be shot... I estimate that the story can be almost completed in ten episodes. Of course, if you have any questions during the production Better ideas, if you want to expand the world view or increase the content of the animation, can also be discussed."

Takeyusei is not an expert in making animated films. He can directly reproduce the animation and other culture of the original world. However, it may not be adaptable to the original world, so it is better to leave it to skilled workers and let them follow their own instructions. The given script was optimized for localization. If they could really produce something better than the original version, he would still be able to accept it.

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