my animation era

Chapter 288 Pokémon Files (For Subscription)
Pikachu has lost weight.

As Pishen's partner and the leading actor of this animation, Xiaozhi also underwent a "plastic surgery".

Uh!Do not misunderstand!
The so-called plastic surgery here refers to the part that must be adjusted for "animation" adaptation according to the game shape.

The game screen, especially "Pokémon", which was born out of a "handheld" game, I believe everyone can understand it.

Animation certainly cannot be applied directly.

Not to mention whether it can be applied, the problem of "clarity" alone cannot be solved.Not to mention, the animated faces are more expressive.

So "facelift" is a must!
But don't worry, Xiaozhi's foundation is here, no matter how much plastic surgery is performed, it will not produce too "significant" changes.

At most, the facial expressions are richer and the eyes are more changeable.

Feiyang Studio, which is responsible for the animation production of "Pokemon", was formerly Feiyang Animation Co., Ltd. founded by Mr. Xiong.

Since Feiyang Animation was acquired by Wanbao Animation and reorganized as Feiyang Studio, the loss of personnel has been very serious...

Hou Bin was very troubled by this.

Insufficient manpower is the number one problem hindering the animation production of "Pokémon".Without sufficient manpower, the production progress cannot be improved, and it can only be polished slowly with time.

To be honest, it's a bit slow.

The animation adaptation project of "Pokémon" was established almost at the same time as animations such as "Olympus Fantasy", "A Happy Year for Sheep and Sheep", and "Moonlight is Beautiful".

The results of it?
The above-mentioned animations have either ended or are currently being broadcast on TV stations.

Only the "Pokémon" animation is still in full swing, and the progress is embarrassing, and there will be no hope of broadcasting it for a while.

Of course, this may also have something to do with the "number of episodes".

The original "Pokémon" unprinted animation has 275 episodes!It started broadcasting in April 1997 and was serialized until November 4, spanning five years.

Have to say, pretty scary!
Although the total number of episodes of the Wanbao version of the first season of "Pokémon" animation is not as many as the original version, it has also exceeded [-] episodes.

Based on an episode of 15 minutes, this is a full 3000 minutes of work.

This number is not small!

In the animation industry, if a single animation exceeds 500 minutes, it is considered one of the best "long-form" TV animations.

The total duration of 3000 minutes is completely worth six feature-length TV animation works.One is better than six, and it belongs to the "Nanfu" in the animation industry.

With such a heavy workload, coupled with the shortage of manpower, it is no wonder that Hou Bin sighed and lost his energy all day long.

"alright!"

Gu Miao comforted her with a smile: "Slow work and careful work, there is no need to be so anxious. I will tell Huang Kun later and ask him to send some people over for you."

"Huang Kun? Forget it."

Hou Bin snorted and said: "The gang of rough guys in Dimension Studio can do 3D animation like Pigman, but they can't help with animation like "Pokemon"."

You don't like it, do you?

After hearing these words, Gu Miao was speechless.

He said that he was short of people, but at the same time disliked others, Hou Bin's personality...

All I can say is, it's hard to say!

Fortunately, it was Gu Miao. If it was a boss with a bad temper and a small belly, Hou Bin would probably offend someone when he said this.

"That's all right, you go first."

After learning about the production progress and details of "Pokémon", Gu Miao looked at her watch and was about to get up and leave, but was stopped by Hou Bin.

"Wait, Mr. Gu!"

"Don't be in a hurry to leave! I have one more thing, and I haven't reported it to you."

Hou Bin took out a book.

Gu Miao took it over and took a look, and found that it was not so much a book as it was an album of "Pokémon Encyclopedia".

This book is very thick, Gu Miao estimated that it should have more than 100 pages.

Each page has an exclusive introduction to Pokémon, as well as original sketches, including skill settings, racial characteristics, and living habits.

The introduction is fairly detailed...

Just by watching this, you can understand what each Pokémon likes?What do you hate?What are its skills?What is the evolutionary route including personality?

Small but complete!
Don't look at the "Pokémon" animation, there are only a few Pokémon on the stage, but for each Pokémon, the animation production team has developed detailed and reliable settings based on sources.

Probably out of habit.

Hou Bin, who was previously the director of the movie "Quiba", has a lot of experience in this "detailed" setting. The "Pokémon Encyclopedia" compiled by him is very comprehensive and detailed.

The content of the record is basically recorded.

"I'm wondering if this collection of settings can be printed and sold outside of our internal review?"

Hou Bin was eager to try: "Just like the original "Book of Kuiba", it serves as a popular setting, so that more people can understand the role of Pokémon?"

"It's not impossible."

Gu Miao nodded and said, "It's just that have you ever considered, what is the selling point of this thing?"

Of course Gu Miao knew about "The Book of Kuiba". After all, he was the one who suggested this thing to Mr. Xiong back then.

How many copies of the book of Kuiba have been sold?
Although there is no specific statistics, Gu Miao estimated that there are only one or two thousand copies at most.

Although "Pokémon" has game blessings, it is well-known and discussed, and it can even be said to completely crush "Quiba".

But how many people will buy this "Pokémon Encyclopedia"?

"Then... what do you mean?"

Hou Bin had a slightly embarrassed expression.

After all, in the final analysis, he is the director of the "Quiba" movie, and if the old account is turned over, he will also have a part in the matter of the book of Kuiba.

"Popular setting is OK!"

"Making archives for Pokémon, so that more people can understand and recognize these Pokémon, I support this approach, but..."

In the middle of speaking, Gu Miao suddenly shook her head and said, "Selling set books? This thing is too old-fashioned! Do you really think that people will buy physical books now? Or this kind of "Pokémon Encyclopedia"?"

The idea is good, but the practice is problematic.

To popularize the setting and let more people understand and understand Pokémon, it doesn't necessarily have to "sell books"!

Why not make these "Pokémon" files into "cards" and stuff them into Wanbao's upcoming "Pokémon" doll suits?

"When you buy a Pokémon toy, you will get a beautifully printed [Pokémon File] data card with a specific number."

Gu Miao explained: "In this way, everyone can learn about this Pokémon while playing with the toy, and deepen their impression."

Of course, this is not the point.

The point is that there are so many Pokémon, and each Pokémon has an "exclusive file card".

Then the problem is coming!

If you are a collector, will you give up this opportunity to achieve the achievement of [All Pokémon Files Collection]?
　I bought a Pikachu pillow, and there is a Pikachu file card inside, and the introduction is quite detailed...
