Afterwards, Lin Xiao and the three of them discussed the research plan for the "Oriental Fantasyland" card mobile game, and then assigned the work content.
The planned research time is three months.
Because Lin Xiao is the chief designer, there are more things to do.
He is mainly responsible for promoting the Oriental Fantasyland IP. The first step is to contact the animation company to discuss the production of the animation "Fantasy Wanhua Mirror". At the same time, he creates the Oriental Fantasyland forum and updates the information, so as to make people in this world better.
Experience the charm of Gensokyo.
Then there are the vertical paintings of the card characters, the BGM in the game, the original paintings of the scenes, the plot mode, etc.
After all, most of these are classic things from another world, and only Lin Xiao can rely on his plug-in-like memory ability to transport and restore them.
The rest of the combat system, UI, gameplay, development system, character models, shopping mall, etc. are handled by Atolya and Xia Qingci. Since Ye Fuhua is still an assistant, he will temporarily help the three of them.
Arrange tasks according to the situation.
Lin Xiao has always been very efficient at work. On that day, he directly started drawing the line drawings of the card characters.
Start sketching based on the memory in your mind.
In less than a while, the line drawing of the first card character was completed.
It is exactly the protagonist in Gensokyo, the carefree Reimu Hakurei.
There are many fans of the characters in the Touhou series who have made secondary fan creations, so there are many types of vertical paintings with different painting styles.
Lin Xiao chose a painting style that highlighted the character's setting and personality as much as possible. Of course, the overall style of each card character will also be unified.
After completing Reimu's line drawing, Lin Xiao continued to draw Marisa, Flandre, and Kazami Yuka
From now on, the progress of game research will proceed in an orderly manner, and the week will pass quietly in the busyness.
In the studio, at 10 o'clock in the morning, Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and she finally finished it!
Yes, during these days, Lin Xiao was immersed in drawing the characters of Gensokyo every day and was really busy.
The main reason is that in this mobile card game, after the character breaks through, he can get a new portrait.
To do this, each character had to draw three different line drawings.
However, this is just a line drawing. Of course, it needs to be colored, refined, etc. to become a real original painting of the card.
The importance of card characters is obvious. Lin Xiao can color and refine them by himself, and there is basically nothing else he can do.
Therefore, in order not to delay the research progress and save time.
Lin Xiao immediately showed off his true character as a rich man and directly contacted a top art outsourcing company.
The line drawings of all the characters were contracted out. Of course, the basic requirements for line drawing processing and coloring were also explained.
For example, Reimu is red and white, Marisa is black and white, Cirno is blue, etc.
In addition, during this week, Atoriya and Xia Celadon's research work was also progressing steadily, and they would occasionally ask Lin Xiao some detailed questions.
Ye Fuhua also started his assistant career. During this week, he studied very hard. His performance was good, and Lin Xiao also noticed it.
But after finishing the painting of the original character for the card, Lin Xiao knew that this was just the beginning.
So, that afternoon, he came to Tianyu Animation Production Company in the North District of Shanhai City.
Tianyu Animation Company is well-known in the industry. Lin Xiao has also seen the animation produced by this company and highly recognizes their level.
Lin Xiao explained the purpose of his visit to the beautiful woman at the front desk. Since he had made an appointment, he met the person in charge of Tianyu Animation Production Company in the living room smoothly.
The other party is a 40-year-old middle-aged man with a Chinese character face, who looks very kind, and his name is Huang Tianyu.
After some polite remarks and self-introduction, Lin Xiao went straight to the topic.
"I want to customize an animation here, with a total of 11 episodes, which will be fully funded by me. The script, characters, lines, scenes, BGM, and storyboards will all be provided by me, and the voice actors, special effects, performances, and picture quality of the animation will be provided by me.
Wait, I want to make it according to the current top standards, what is the approximate price?"
Huang Tianyu was stunned for a moment and said: "With the current market situation,
Say, if you ask for the best, at least 500,000 per episode, which means that for 11 episodes, it will cost 550, plus other expenses, the budget will be at least 600."
"6oo?"
Hearing this price, Lin Xiao seemed very calm. After all, the investment in animation has always been huge, and the amount of funds determines the quality of the animation.
As for myself, "Hatsune Miku: The First Plan" sold one million copies, and "To the Moon" also sold well.
After deducting the money spent on miscellaneous things, with the funds the company currently has, these millions can still be afforded.
Therefore, Lin Xiao thought about it for a while and nodded: "Okay, this price is within the acceptable range for me, as long as the quality is up to standard. The scripts, storyboards, characters, etc. I provide here can be purchased within a week."
Within a day, I will send these over and sign the contract at the same time.”
Huang Tianyu was surprised to see Lin Xiao so cheerful. After all, if animation doesn't become popular, it is basically very easy to lose money.
In addition, it is still custom-made animation. It is not something that professionals can do. It can be said that millions of dollars are thrown into it and it is wasted.
It seems that he has met a rich man and doesn't care about money at all.
For Huang Tianyu, it was a dream to have such a good business come to his door. He said cheerfully: "Okay, don't worry, I will make the animation according to your requirements."
five days later
Lin Xiao came to Tianyu Animation Company with the storyboards, scripts, etc. of the animation "Fantasy Wanhua Mirror".
In the reception room, Huang Tianyu was really shocked after watching "Fantasy Wanhua Mirror".
He originally thought that this young man was just a rich man, so with the general interest of playing with tickets, he casually customized an animation for fun.
However, the result was not like that. The storyboards, scripts, lines, and BGM prepared by the other party were all impeccable! Just looking at these storyboards, you can imagine the animation scenes, and this storyboarding skills are definitely there.
Master level level.
What’s even more amazing is that this anime has various settings, weird monsters, and scenes full of fairy tale colors. This anime may become popular!
After calming down, Huang Tianyu looked at Lin Xiao with admiration in his eyes and said seriously: "Thank you for your trust in choosing Tianyu to do such a good customized animation. I promise that I will do my best.
You will definitely not be disappointed.”
Huang Tianyu's attitude became very respectful, and he obviously recognized the storyboarding he had done. Lin Xiao was in a good mood, and he smiled and said: "Then, happy cooperation!"
In fact, it was because of his strong memory that he was able to make these things so beautifully.
In this way, the first step to making the Oriental Fantasyland IP popular has been completed.
Soon, Lin Xiao took the second step of promoting the Oriental Fantasy IP. He began to build the Oriental Fantasy Forum.
As a carrier, games often cannot express the world view and characters clearly.
Especially those with a larger world view, more characters, and more complex settings.
Therefore, official novels, official information forums, etc. came into being.
Just like "League of Heroes", after the game became popular, a variety of methods were immediately introduced to build and improve the background, world view, character stories, settings, etc. in the game.
Through a series of such methods, the purpose is to allow players to more clearly understand and accept the settings, world view, characters, etc. of this game. As long as it can be recognized by a large number of players, then the IP of this game will be created.
The Oriental Fantasyland forum also has this purpose. In order to allow players to understand it at a glance, Lin Xiao divided it into four major sections.
It mainly introduces the concept of existence of Gensokyo and some basic settings in it.
The characters of Touhou Gensokyo are exquisitely designed and rich in all aspects. In addition, they are also a selling point of the mobile card game, so they need a detailed introduction.
Various scenes in Gensokyo have their own characteristics and are closely related to the characters.
In the Touhou series, most characters have their own music, which is unique and unique in style and is very suitable for promotion.
However, with so many things, it is naturally impossible to
Done in one night.
Therefore, Lin Xiao has made plans for long-term updates
A week later, the first episode of "Fantasy Wanhua Mirror" was ready.
Lin Xiao also went to Tianyu Animation Production Company in person to watch the animation. Sure enough, after getting the funds, the animation, which was already very good, was made more refined and the time was lengthened to 3o minutes.
Before the animation is going to go online, of course it needs to be warmed up. This aspect is handled by Tianyu Animation. Of course, Lin Xiao needs to pay a sum of money.
Some recommended spots on major video websites and some promotional PVs will also be produced and uploaded.
On the same day, Lin Xiao also updated Leli Games' Weibo, indicating that the "Fantasy Wanhua Mirror" animation will be launched soon. This animation will be related to the game currently being developed by Leli Games, and also gave a simple PV promotion.
video.
The pv is a brief introduction to the story background of Gensokyo, and by the way, it shows the main characters and a little bit of fighting to solve Haruyuki's mutation.
Leli Games still has a group of die-hard fans. When they saw the promotional PV, they started talking about it.
"Leli Games has made another big move. The fights in this anime look very gorgeous. There are all kinds of light spots, just like seeing stars. I can see the money burning."
"In the pv, the girl with cherry blossom hair, Japanese style dress, and purple fan looks really good. I'll wait for the anime to be officially released!"
"I hope it's not pv fraud,"
At 8 p.m., the first episode of "Fantasy Wanhua Mirror" is officially launched.
In the apartment, Lin Xiao and Atoliya were in the living room, watching this anime.
The story tells that on the other side of the real world, in the far east, there is a mysterious place separated by a barrier.
This mysterious land is called Gensokyo, where many monsters, gods, humans, and aliens live. This is their paradise.
The one who guards the Great Barrier is Hakurei Reimu, the shrine maiden of Hakurei Shrine. Her usual job is to maintain the balance of Gensokyo, solve mutations, and exterminate monsters.
"Fantasy Mangekyo" is based on the story of two protagonists, Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame, who solve the strange changes in Gensokyo.
The content of the first episode is that one day, Haruyuki happened in Gensokyo.
This change caused Gensokyo to still feel like winter even in the spring season. In May, spring still didn't come and it continued to snow.
In order to find out and solve the abnormality, the plot begins
After 3o minutes, the main film ends.
Finally, there is a small short video.
What appears in the short film is the Q version of Reimu and Marisa Kirisame.
After some cuteness and complaints, the two started advertising: "For more Gensokyo-related settings, characters, and music, if you are interested, you can check out the Oriental Gensokyo forum!"
"Is this gone? I feel like I finished watching it in one go." Atoriya said with unfinished content: "Lin Xiao, can Tianyu Animation be updated as soon as possible? It's not enough to watch at all!"
Lin Xiao shrugged: "Normally, one episode a week can guarantee the quality, and watching the series is also a kind of fun. Now let's go and see how this anime is rated online."
If animation hits the market, creating an IP will be out of the question.
Lin Xiao was also more concerned about this. After speaking, he picked up his mobile phone and checked the reviews of "Fantasy Wanhua Mirror" on major video websites.
"The quality of this animation is okay. Is Leli Games considered to be the most inattentive company in the gaming industry? Is this the so-called animation company that is delayed by making games?"
"Leli Game Company: Sorry, you misunderstood, we are an animation company."
"The fight between these characters is really an extremely gorgeous visual feast, with explosive special effects. It is said that one episode of animation costs 50,000 yuan, and it is free for everyone to watch. It is really a conscientious animation."
"The eldest lady of the underworld has such a temperament that I can't say enough about her."
"The combination of Reimu and Marisa is so sweet."
"Maybe my focus is strange. In the underworld, the straight stone stairs with no end in sight gave me a strong sense of shock."
"There is a great god who knows the opening scene
The name of the exciting theme song!?”
"Didn't you see that there is a forum? Maybe there is an introduction in it."
These reviews all look very good, with almost no negative reviews.
Moreover, on several video websites, the ratings of "Fantasy Wanhua Mirror" are basically maintained above 9.
Lin Xiao smiled happily. As long as the popularity of animation continues, IP creation will be the first step towards success.
But even this is just the beginning and cannot be taken lightly.
Lin Xiao and Atoliya said: "If our third mobile game is sold well, we will go traveling together in the future."
"Traveling?" Atolia showed a bright smile: "Then where should we go?
"I think it would be great to go to Britain. You can see King Arthur there."
"The legend of King Arthur is very interesting." Atria: Come on, let's do it together."
On the other side, some viewers who were interested in Gensokyo immediately logged into the forum.
