Chapter 101 "Dragon Fighter" production decision! (Seeking the support of the first monthly ticket)

"Dragon Fighter" comic fire!
As the head of Wanbao and an animation producer with a keen sense of smell, Gu Miao naturally wouldn't ignore this work that has initially gathered popularity.

Animation adaptation is imperative!
A real man has to keep his word. Since he promised to submit a qualified animation adaptation plan in mid-April, how can he disappoint Nantong Sensei?
Isn't it just a manga change plan!

For Gu Miao, who is "experienced in hundreds of battles", the mere manga reform plan is simply a trivial matter.

So...

Under his summoning, the four maggots of all treasures... Ahhh!It was the four masters who gathered together and held a workshop on the production of the animation "Dragon Fighter".

"What's there to talk about?"

Ma Kui scratched the stubble on his chin, and said with a puzzled face, "It's done according to the comics. Do you need to make any major changes?"

"You can't say that."

"Comics are comics, and animations are animations. The content carriers are different, and the expression methods are also very different."

Huang Kun shook his head and explained: "Blindly copying comics may be self-defeating, and in the end it will be unfavorable."

That makes sense.

One of the most important things in an adaptation is to know the trade-offs, what can be kept and what must be modified.

Blindly catering to the original, or making drastic changes are not good.

Gu Miao agreed with Huang Kun's statement.

But there was one thing that Huang Kun didn't expect.That is the "Dragon Fighter" manga. In order to adapt to the later animation adaptation, many modifications have actually been made.

That is to say...

The adaptation of the comic version of "Dragon Fighter" into animation is indeed as Ma Kui said, it only needs to be changed according to the comics.

Because at the beginning of the birth of the manga, he and Nan Tong had already made preparations for the "adaptation of animation".

and so!
The focus of this production "seminar" is not how to make the changes, but who will make the changes, how much money Wanbao plans to spend, and how much manpower will be invested in the changes?

"Mr. Gu, you know it."

Ma Kui shook his head first and said: "The "Quiba" project still needs me to continue to follow up, and I really don't have time."

"Mr. Gu, you know it."

"Although the first season of "Pig Man" has been produced and aired, the follow-up finishing work still needs a little bit..."

Before Huang Kun finished speaking, Gu Miao couldn't help but interrupted: "Stop, stop! I know you all don't have time, so I came to be the director, are you satisfied now?"

"OK! OK!"

There is no dispute about the choice of director.In other words, Gu Miao never planned to let Huang Kun or Ma Kui direct the animation from the very beginning.

After all, it is the first work in the series, so be careful!
If it is a sequel, or a work like a rumor, these two people can take over.But for the first game in the series, it is safer for him to do it himself.

The choice of director has been decided!

As for the remaining members of the animation production team, there is nothing to say.Wanbao Animation has hundreds of animation ghosts, and there is no pressure to temporarily transfer hundreds of people.

As for the production budget, Gu Miao initially estimated that the amount was between 800 million and 1200 million yuan.

This is an "estimated" value.

Actual costs may be higher than this.But there is a high probability that it will still be within his estimated value and will not exceed the budget by much.

There are two main reasons.

The first point is that Wanbao now has plenty of manpower, and its dependence on the "animation outsourcing" business is not so high, which saves a lot of expenses.

The second point is that Gu Miao's construction period for the "Dragon Fighter" animation reached five and a half months, close to 170 days.And he estimated that the length of the first season of animation is only about 40-45 episodes.

There is plenty of time and plenty of manpower.

Combining the above two points, the production cost he estimated is actually very "saving", only about two-thirds of "Sailor Moon" in the Neon Division.

The manpower is OK, the budget is OK!

After confirming that there was no obstacle to the project, Wanbao Animation's official Weibo directly released the promotional pictures and copywriting of "Dragon Fighter animation production decision".

The promotional image is very abstract!

Probably the official Weibo operation and art lady, in order to flatter the boss, deliberately put Gu Miao's bust in the most prominent center position of the promotional picture.

Is this a problem?
It is perfectly normal for the staff to take care of the feelings of the director and boss, and put him in the C position of the promotional picture.

but……

"Why is there a Xiaodu holding a dragon climbing sword under me? Excuse me?" Gu Miao asked with a question mark on her face.

This makes him look dumb!

P The artist of this picture, didn't he find that the "sword tip" of Denglong Sword is too close to a certain position of Mr. Gu during the inspection?

"Then... I'll delete it!"

Ma Kui also felt that it was inappropriate. Although the P was pretty good, it did damage Mr. Gu's wise image, so it would be better to delete it.

But he was still a step too late.

Not long after this promotional image was released, it was saved by a screenshot.

Even if the official Weibo later deleted the original picture and reposted a revised promotional picture, it still couldn't stop the crazy spread of the original picture on the Internet.

What's even more outrageous is...

Some people also made a second "creation" on the basis of the original drawing, and Xiaodu's Climbing Dragon Sword was also replaced with various strange things.

There are laser guns!

There are feather dusters!
And what about adult products...

In addition, they also accompanied this picture with various text dialogues.

For example, poke the turtle upstairs to death!Justice is done!Give the boss a fairy stick!Comfortable……

Gu Miao, who was not known to many people except for his peers and a few fans who pay attention to animation works, became one of the emoji giants in an instant with the spread of these teasing pictures.

Even the fans have increased a lot!

Is this a good thing?
For the face-saving Gu Miao, this is definitely not a good thing.Even if he is thick-skinned enough, he will still feel ashamed to see this overwhelming show.

"Think about the good..."

He deliberately went back to Jiangchuan to relax, met his old friend Du Hao by the way, and also saw the recent saucy pictures circulating on the Internet, so he suppressed a smile and comforted him.

"What are the promotional pictures for?"

"As long as it has a publicity effect, let everyone know that you are going to make a new animation, this animation is called Dragon Fighter, and the protagonist is Xiaodu who stabs you with a sword, wouldn't that be enough?"

Gu Miao: "..."

It made sense, but he was speechless.

In a sense, this promotional image not only successfully completed the "propaganda" task, but also surprisingly effective.

After all, not only anime fans, but also many people who don't usually watch anime, who don't know Gu Miao or Wanbao, all remember "Xiaodu" and his "Dragon Sword".

what is this?
The art girl made a mistake, and actually used the P-picture technology for five yuan to achieve a "publicity" effect worth tens of millions?
Do you still have to praise it?
