Chapter 027. I really know how to play
As July approaches, Ningjiang becomes hotter and hotter.
The air conditioner on the second floor of Fantasy Electric Animation has been turned on to the maximum, but it still cannot withstand the heat wave outside the window. In the conference room, Xu Rui took the planning book and looked at the employee of Fantasy Electric Company below, and then looked at Li Ruoxuan, editor of "Monthly Boys Frontline" sitting behind.
"Everyone, we will undertake a comic adaptation animation project. The original work is "Soul-Devouring" serialized on "Monthly Boy Frontline". I have purchased this comic and placed it on the bookshelf in the lounge. Everyone must read the original work carefully."
After a pause, Xu Rui continued.
"But this adaptation is not a copy of the original work, but a pre-transmission animation produced with the consent of the original author. The specific plot outline is in the planning book that everyone has, I only have a little requirement."
He glanced at Li Ruoxuan, who was clenched with fists and was eager to try it out, and Xu Rui spoke.
"That is, everyone should keep the plot of this animation absolutely confidential."
"Huh?" "Keep confidential...Isn't this a comic change?" "What does it mean?"
Those who hadn't read the script below were a little confused. Only Cheng Ke nodded thoughtfully for those who had read the complete script like this.
"The first episode of this animation is from an official organization that uses high-tech means to eliminate the spirits. A long-haired girl riding a motorcycle and a teenager who seems to have a cruel background with two guns. They and other members easily solved the evil spirits that the army could not defeat, but encountered a new crisis. Just after the difficulty was solved, a woman in a short school uniform appeared and killed everyone cleanly."
Cheng Kewei roughly summarized the plot of the first episode. It can be seen that the beginning is actually quite cliché, but the final reversal of the first episode is surprising because no one would have thought that the person who looks the most like the protagonist would actually receive the bento directly.
"Wait, if you look at it like this, the second episode will be the same routine. Another group of spirit-elimination organizations will appear to eliminate the crisis. Finally, they also met the woman in the school uniform and almost completely destroyed. Who is the protagonist of this comic..."
Tao Ran looked through the script in the planning book and murmured.
He has never read the original work of "Soul-Devouring", but judging from the script in his hand, this comic is quite good at playing. Not only is it different from the ordinary hot-blooded boy comic that will never die for a long time, but the ending of "it's all destroyed from the beginning" is also quite shocking. As a senior deadboy, he must have read it and was deeply impressed by it.
"If you look at the third episode later, you will find that the first two episodes are the plot behind the scenes. The real story starts from the third episode. While eliminating demons after school, the fresh daily life of the two girls, but the beginning plot still circles in the hearts of the audience, making people wonder what caused the original beautiful daily life to become such a cruel ending."
Although Guo Weiren is the oldest here, he has been working in an animation company and has a good understanding of the emerging animation themes in recent years. However, this expression method still makes him a little excited and looks forward to the reactions the audience sees.
"For this reason, in order to control the audience's emotions in the first three episodes, we need to disguise it from the beginning of the publicity."
Seeing that everyone had basically read the beginning plot, Xu Rui said.
"From the official website to various publicity, we have to tell everyone from the beginning the story of the high-tech spirit removal organization we told to deceive the audience to the greatest extent."
When everyone heard Xu Rui's words, they were silent for a while, as if they were imagining what would happen if they followed Xu Rui's plan and waited until the animation was broadcast.
"In this case, the topic may be very high. After all, after all, after watching animation for so many years, there is an animation that dares to start with all the protagonists who were promoted before. "
Cheng Kewei said that although many animations use flashbacks, and the first episode shows the audience the final decisive battle scene to create a sense of expectation, they directly draw the protagonist to death, and the second episode changed a group of people, which is really unprecedented.
As a producer, he is a hub for contacting all links, so he naturally has to consider the reactions of investors and audiences. There is no doubt that if the animation of "Soul Devouring" is really played in this way, the topics it triggers will be unprecedented, which is an excellent way to mobilize the audience's emotions.
"What's the opinion of the magazine?"
Yan Zhe glanced at the little girl behind him. No matter how he looked, he felt that the editor-in-charge seemed to be only as old as a college student and was not very reliable.
"The editor-in-chief agreed to this proposal. He said that it was all one, uh, a miserable work, and it wouldn't be worse no matter how you play it."
Li Ruoxuan smiled helplessly and then added.
"As for the production committee, they thought their investment was wasted, but now some people are willing to take over and pay for it, so naturally they have no objection and will not interfere with the creation here."
The production committee is a production form developed by the industry several years ago to share investment risks. It is basically the main planners seek investment. Multiple companies jointly invest in a work, and the benefits obtained by the work are also divided by each company according to the investment ratio. On the one hand, it reduces the cost of planner failure, and on the other hand, it also introduces more funds into the industry. It is a production form that is commonly adopted.
Of course, with the development of the Internet, some companies have chosen a self-profit production model to avoid investors' interference in the production site. For example, Rainbow Media, a subsidiary of Tomato Video Network, has been used to remove several long comic adaptations, and the new animations in each season are almost all-invested by Tomato Video Network. They are broadcast exclusively on Tomato Video Network, and the money is full of money.
This time, Fantasy has also invested in the animation of "Soul Devouring: Zero", accounting for about 21% of them. Although not much, it has always left the ranks of pure working.
"Soul Devouring: Zero" is currently tentatively broadcast online. There is a website called Chengkong Video Network in the production committee that will receive priority playback rights. This video network is a website controlled by New Frontline Media, so it will join the production committee. As for whether it will log in to other websites, it depends on the negotiations between the companies after the announcement is issued.
The quotation for the season of a twelve episode animation ranges from one million to several million. "Bandit King" is exclusively broadcast on Tomato Video. It is speculated that the quotation for about one season is seven million. The original work "Soul Devouring: Zero" is an unknown name, and the production company is also an animation of the new company, and the price can only reach the million level.
"If there is no problem, we will start creating "Soul Devouring: Zero" tomorrow, with the goal of broadcasting in January next year. This will be the first animation after the reconstruction of the fantasy electric animation. I hope everyone can take it seriously."
Xu Rui looked at everyone and said.
In the evening a few hours later, a Weibo post was also updated on Ningjiang Fantasy Electronic Animation, "Monthly Boys Frontline", and Chengkong Video Network.
——"The animation production of the popular comic "Soul-Devouring" has been confirmed, and the production company is Ningjiang Fantasy Electric Animation Production Company."
