When she went to work the next day, Hou Qingqing was a little disappointed with the comments on the Internet, and she suddenly lost the excitement she felt yesterday afternoon.
She has visited several important comic forums.
But what disappoints Hou Qingqing is that except for some guys who are obviously Sun Peng fans discussing slam dunk, almost no other passerby comic fans pay attention to this comic. At most, someone mentioned it on "Tianyu Boy"
It's new and seems to be interesting.
"..."
After shaking his head, Chen Muchen laughed and said: "Otherwise, what do you think it should be like? Everyone was enthusiastically discussing Slam Dunk, which only has more than 30 pages, shouting that it is a masterpiece, and then crushing it all the way to serialize it for several pages.
Are all the comics of 2018 going to be destroyed?”
How is that possible!
Looking at the disappointed senior sister, Sun Peng also burst into laughter.
Fortunately, he is not so naive.
In fact, Sun Peng has already understood it long after the release of The Condor: You can look forward to good things in the future, but you should never pay too much attention to its present! "Slam Dunk" is undoubtedly a good thing.
, even in this world, it is a top-notch good thing, but the real strength should only be seen half a year later...
There are so many people discussing it now, and it’s all thanks to martial arts novels!
So after thinking about it for a while, Sun Peng asked: "Let's not talk about this for now, you two, let's discuss a question, that is, when will our animation be launched?"
As the comics begin to be updated, animations will also need to be considered.
"Well..."
After looking at Chen Muchen, Hou Qingqing smiled bitterly and said: "Our initial plan is to wait until the comic has a certain influence, and then the animation will start to be updated online! But now according to the plan of "Tianyu Youth", the comic "Slam Dunk" will be updated every month.
Four episodes, ** ten pages, one volume will take two months, thirty volumes will take sixty months, five years... When do you think we will put the animation online?"
Sun Peng is an idealist, he hopes that animation and comics will be completed at the same time!
However, at the current pace, it will take five years for the manga to be updated, but the anime only has 60 episodes. One episode per week would only take more than a year to complete!
...How do you finish it at the same time?
"So my suggestion is to start from two aspects. On the one hand, increase the amount of comics updates, and on the other hand, add appropriate water to the animation!"
At this time, Chen Muchen took the opportunity to speak: "Di Xia and the others can draw at least one volume a month. Can we discuss with the magazine to double the weekly updates? Also regarding animation... Xiaopeng, I
I understand that you want to keep the pace tight and make this animation a classic, but have you ever thought about whether such a fast pace is really suitable for a sports animation?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Sun Peng frowned slightly and asked with some confusion.
"Senior brother means that if the pace is too fast, the atmosphere will be gone!"
This time Chen Muchen didn't need to speak, Hou Qingqing took over the topic directly: "Actually, we have already produced a few episodes, but we have discovered a very serious problem! That is, if we follow your script, it will be done too fast. We are almost there.
There is a feeling that we are rushing to make progress! So a few of our core staff deliberately did some storyboarding of the subsequent games and found... ahem, it feels really bad!"
"this……"
Hearing what Hou Qingqing said, Sun Peng was immediately stunned.
The reason why he tried to compress the number of episodes of the Slam Dunk animation was that he was too anxious to watch it in his previous life. It felt like the Japanese producers were just stalling for time in many places. But now I heard that two experts, Chen Muchen and Hou Qingqing, said this
As soon as he said that, Sun Peng began to doubt whether his decision was wrong...
Wouldn't it be better to have a faster pace?
Seeing Sun Peng's hesitation, Hou Qingqing glanced at Chen Muchen and said: "Xiao Peng, we can study the specific situation in detail later. Anyway, our two suggestions are to increase the number to about one hundred episodes. This way the rhythm
It should be better. The other 100 episodes will take two years. If the amount of comic updates can be doubled, our animation will be launched in half a year!"
Chen Muchen next to him hesitated for a moment and then said: "There is another way, which is to broadcast the animation in seasons! The advantage of this is that we don't have to wait for the progress of the comic. For example, when the comic reaches the tenth volume, we
You can broadcast twenty episodes of him first as the first season; then wait until the manga reaches the twentieth volume and then broadcast twenty episodes as the second season..."
"Yes! This is also a good idea!"
After hearing this, Sun Peng nodded repeatedly. He was very used to this method.
but……
After thinking about it for a while, Sun Peng nodded and said: "Let's go back and study it carefully to see if it is necessary to increase the number to 100 episodes, and then communicate with the magazine to see what kind of broadcast
The method is more appropriate.”
Regardless, the advice of professionals should be respected.
And now that Sun Peng thinks about it, maybe he has taken it for granted. The animation of one hundred episodes has been reduced to sixty, but the sixty episodes also include the part of the national competition - almost three chapters of the comic.
That’s one-third. In other words, if the original animation had been in a national competition, there would have been at least 150 episodes!
seem……
Is the compression a bit too strong?
Seeing Sun Peng's thoughtful look, Chen Muchen and Hou Qingqing smiled at each other and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
This little junior brother is the best at this, he can listen to other people's opinions.
After thinking for a while, Hou Qingqing then smiled and said: "In addition, you don't have to worry too much. Although the increase in the number of animation episodes will slightly increase the cost, it is definitely not a proportional increase! Because when the pace slows down, more time is used
It’s a still or repetitive picture, so we estimate that the cost will increase by at most one-fifth!”
In fact, the two of them have discovered this problem a long time ago. The reason why they have never told Sun Peng is that, on the one hand, Sun Peng is too evil and has almost never failed... Shuangjiao's animation is not at all in the eyes of the two.
It cannot be considered a failure... so I am afraid that he will not accept this opinion; on the other hand, it is necessary to carefully evaluate the changes in time and cost caused by this, and give specific data to convince others!
Now it seems that Sun Peng is not someone who cannot listen to opinions.
So Chen Muchen didn't want to push too hard, so he simply changed the subject with a smile and said: "Okay, let's study this matter slowly. Anyway, the animation has only been produced for a few episodes, and we haven't even finished the soundtrack yet... Xiao
Peng, this is also your business, so hurry up... Let's go back to the urgent matters at present and discuss how to talk to other magazines about increasing the space..."
…
Just when Sun Peng and the others were thinking that there were too few Slam Dunk updates and they were having a headache because the animation was ahead of schedule, the magazine "Tianyu Boys" ushered in a sales boom.
Young people's reaction speed to magazines has always been about fast!
Especially for cultural products such as comics and magazines, people who like them often remember their publication dates firmly. It has become a habit to buy and read on the same day. This is somewhat similar to reading online articles.
, many fans of Lao Bai have formed a habit in the past two years: watching updates at noon every day, and if they postpone it until the evening because of something, they always feel that something is wrong!
So the first day a new magazine is put on the shelves is definitely the day with the biggest sales!
Especially in the afternoon when students are out of school and office workers get off work, it is definitely the peak moment of a magazine’s popularity! So when Sun Peng and others were discussing comics and animation, they talked about Shi Cheng all night
, finally received feedback from the distribution department the next morning...
