My Animation Era

  FPS game volume in volume.

Especially FPS type online games, they are the ultimate game. All major game manufacturers in the world basically make FPS online games.

 Hence, Gu Miao is not very optimistic about the "Gundam Fall" developed by Wanbao Games.

To be honest, the quality of the game is pretty good. The driving and combat of Gundam Mecha can be regarded as an innovative experience in FPS online games.

 But it’s still the same old problem.

 There are so many FPS games on the market, and there are also many games that can play mechas. Why would people want to play your game?

 “You are right…”

“But we are the only game that can shoot guns and fly mechas at the same time!”

Kobayashi said confidently: "There are many similar games that feature mechas and guns, but this is the first game that can be combined together."

Fine!

 This is a good selling point.

As Xiaolin said, there are indeed many similar games, including those for shooting guns and those for operating mechas. But there is no precedent for combining the two to be able to shoot both guns and mechas.

 Gu Miao was reluctantly convinced.

After admitting that the game of the same name "Mobile Suit Gundam" does have a unique selling point, he turned to ask: "Are you mentally prepared to deal with cheats?"

 FPS is the hardest hit area by cheaters.

Stand-alone games are easier to talk about, but for FPS online games, how to prevent cheating is a headache for every game manufacturer.

In other online games, because latency requirements are not high and data calculations are mostly performed on the server side, there are not many loopholes for plug-ins to exploit.

However, due to the unique mechanism, FPS online games generally have strict requirements on latency. It is a common operation to calculate data locally and then upload it to the server. This also gives plug-ins an opportunity to "modify files and data".

 That's why Gu Miao said that not only are FPS online games very complicated, but it is also difficult for small companies to get ahead.

  After all, you don’t have the anti-cheating mechanism and scale of a big company. Even if the game is really good, it will be ruined by cheating later.

 “Why should we be afraid of cheats?”

When Xiaolin heard this, he asked with a very puzzled expression: "Are cheats very powerful? In the game Gundam, ordinary cheats can't survive!"

 “Huh? Can’t survive?”

"yes!"

Xiao Lin nodded: "What's the use of the see-through lock self-sight? Can you beat the Gundam? These plug-in functions are only available in the Gundam itself!"

Gu Miao: “…”

 Good guy!

 As long as the official makes the cheat first and then lets every player use it, there will be no place for the cheat to survive, right?

 “We will ban cheats.”

“But in the game Gundam, even if you cheat, you may not be able to defeat normal players who know how to play.”

　　Xiao Lin shrugged and said: "Unless you use a particularly violent cheat, it is possible to punish the boss, but what's the point? Can such a violent cheat survive a game?"

"makes sense."

 Now that Xiao Lin has figured out how to deal with the influx of cheats in FPS games, Gu Miao has nothing to say.

"correct!"

As if thinking of something, he immediately asked: "Have you started working on the fantasy open world 3A game you mentioned before?"

 “It’s just the beginning.”

“Without three or four years of hard work, it will be difficult to achieve certain results.” Xiao Lin shook his head.

  All AAA games are like this.

Three to four years is already considered a relatively optimistic estimate. If a certain aspect of development does not go smoothly in the middle, delays and delays are common.

Thinking of the worst…

  Some AAA masterpieces may have been under development, but suddenly there was no news. After checking, it was found that the developer had gone bankrupt.

Although Wanbao Games is unlikely to go bankrupt anytime soon, for a game with such a long development cycle, who knows what will happen in the middle?

Maybe three years later, before the game is released, Wanbao Group suddenly fails, causing the game to be stillborn?

"Oh well."

 Gu Miao can still afford the three to four-year development cycle, after all, he is still young at the moment.

What's more, he also knew that this matter could not be rushed.

 This is the same as the production progress of "Journey to the West 3D". Is it useful to rush Ma Kui?

 It’s no use urging!

 With this progress, it is impossible to get up to speed at all. The more you push, the easier it will be to screw up. Instead, just ignore it and give him enough time and financial support to do a good job.

 …

 After the Spring Festival holiday, Wanbao Animation is back on track.

The animation "Martin's Morning" has reached its 18th episode. In the episodes that have been aired, every character Martin becomes will arouse heated discussions among children.

His popularity is not inferior to that of the Go boy.

Even to put it a bit harshly, the Go boy has become popular again, but the discussion level is really not high. After all, most people don’t understand Go and just watch the plot.

 "Morning with Martin" is different. There is nothing that the audience cannot understand.

Coupled with the "changing every episode" character setting, it was very enjoyable for the audience to watch, and the level of discussion was naturally very high.

“What else will Martin become?”

This question can be said to be the most curious thing among the audience. Countless people have expressed their opinions on this topic.

 Some of the conjectures are nonsense.

 Why did Martin turn into feces and stun Principal Gao and Director Ge? Everyone in the school seemed to be shouting...

But some people guessed that it was indeed something like that. Even Gu Miao's eyes lit up when she saw it, and she wanted to add it to the plan for the second season of "Martin's Morning".

 For example, "Martin the Immortal Cultivator"!

When he woke up, Martin turned out to be an immortal cultivator, possessing great magical powers such as making wind and rain, scattering beans and forming soldiers.

 And "Astronaut Martin"!

Martin became an astronaut this time, and with his two teammates Guo Mo and Luo Na, he drove the spacecraft to the universe for adventure...

 The audience is quite imaginative.

 Some of the ideas and creativity amazed Gu Miao. She felt that it would be a pity for these people not to write novels.

 Speaking of novels…

　　After the animation "Martin's Morning" was aired, there were more and more fan fiction about this animation, which you can read on Beep.

  Why Beep Reading?

 Because Bibi Reading is owned by Wanbao Comics, and the animation "Martin's Morning" is owned by Wanbao Animation, both of which are subsidiaries of Wanbao Group.

Reading and writing fan fiction on Bibi can be said to be a major trend in the online literary circle.

 Because Bip Reading has a natural advantage that other websites do not have, that is, it is not afraid of infringement.     If you write a "Martin's Morning" fanfic on another website, you'll be done with it if Wanbao sues you or not.

Because of this, most authors will go to Bibi Reading to write online novels about animation and comic fans, so as to avoid unnecessary troubles.

 Some internet writers call this behavior “taking refuge in Gu maggots”.

 You tell others that you are going to seek refuge with Gu Maggot, OK! Then others will immediately understand that you are going to read and write fan fiction on Bibi...

 Because of this, other sections of Bibi Reading have not developed, but fan fiction has become very popular.

 Hands of all kinds of anime and fan works can be found on Beep Reading.

 Among them, the animation "Martin's Morning" has become a hot topic in recent fan creations due to its novel creativity and good popularity.

Gu Miao has also watched a few of them.

 One of the books, "I'm Martin and I'm Going to Stay Up Late," was pretty well written and he enjoyed reading it.

 The idea of ​​this novel is actually very simple. Doesn’t Martin transform every morning? Then he would stay up late and maintain Niubi's character identity.

Of course, normal people cannot avoid sleeping, so this author created a "stay-up-late-night system".

 So Martin can transform for a long time every time. When he is a king or a superman, he can write for a long time with one identity. When readers get tired of reading it, he can change to a new identity and continue writing...

certainly!

 Since "Mornings with Martin" has only been airing for a few days, most fan fictions at this time are only tens of thousands of words.

There are only a few tentacle monsters, and before the 20th episode of the anime has aired, they have already written nearly 200,000 words of fan fiction, which is simply outrageous!

 “There are also excellent works in fan fiction.”

 Worried that Mr. Gu felt that Bibi Reading had gone astray in developing fan fiction, Nantong quickly explained: “There are many fan works that are really well written. Although they are fan fiction, they still have certain adaptation value.”

For example, "Digimon", "Pokémon", "Yu-Gi-Oh!", "Detective Conan" and other works have produced fan works with excellent results.

 Among these works, there are indeed one or two that are worthy of adaptation.

 That’s right, fans can adapt it!

 The reason why Nantong said this is because the copyright belongs to Wanbao, so it doesn’t matter even if it is a fan.

 Change another website. Do you want to adapt a fan novel like this? Go ahead and dream!

Wanbao owns the copyright and is so arrogant in what it does. This is just like "Wandering the Animation World". It is definitely impossible to change another website or company, but Wanbao can.

“There is a Conan fan novel. Although it is a fan novel, the actual content is well written, and some cases even have an impulse to make people laugh.”

Nantong praised: "I think we can make a theatrical version of "Detective Conan" based on this fanfic."

 There is also a Digimon fanfic.

Although it is a fic, the plot is basically original, and the Digimon are also new species that have never appeared on TV.

 This novel, Nantong believes, can also be adapted and made into a short animation of a "gaiden" nature to be broadcast to fill in the worldview framework of Digimon.

"It's up to you."

 “I personally don’t object to the adaptation of fan fiction, on the contrary, I quite approve of it…”

Gu Miao said with a smile.

Once the news of adapting fan fiction comes out, I don’t know how excited the authors who write fan fiction will be.

Oh my God!

Writing a fan novel can be as good as writing a fantasy fairy tale, with opportunities for adaptation?

It is not difficult to imagine that once this news is exposed, the number of fan works on Bibi Reading will skyrocket. Almost all the authors who write anime fan fiction on the Internet will come to Bibi Reading to open new books.

 For no other reason, even if the chance of being adapted is very low, it is still much better than other websites that can never be adapted!

  However, you must be careful when selecting fan works suitable for adaptation.

 You can’t choose everything.

  When appropriate, works with more original content will be given priority. As for those fans who are not original and whose plot follows the original work, they have no adaptation value at all.

"I know this."

Nantong nodded: "I'm quite speechless too. Some of the fan fiction plots are exactly the same as the original works, even the dialogue lines are the same, but from a third-party perspective."

 What’s the point of this thing?

 What you wrote is exactly the same as the animation, so why don’t I just watch the animation? Do I have to read your fanfic?

He is more supportive of those fans who strictly follow the background settings of the original work, but incorporate their own unique understanding, have more original plots, and do not follow the original line.

Such a work has adaptation value and can be adapted into animation and used as a "gaiden" or "theatrical version" of the original work.

“In fact, no matter what genre, as long as you are willing to write fan works of our animations, then you are welcome!”

Gu Miao smiled: "As for those fans who write animation works from other companies, you can also try to get authorization."

Although Wanbao has many animation works, not every author likes to write them. Some people like to write other animations.

In this case, Wanbao will also try its best to help obtain authorization.

Only when you really can’t get authorization will you suggest that the author not write a fanfic of this work.

 Cultivation of a good fan environment is the key to the longevity of an animation! For this reason, Gu Miao doesn't think there is anything wrong with doing this.

Taking Jerusalem in the 3D Zone as an example, would the character Tifa really have been popular for so many years if it hadn’t been for the support of fans?

 Obviously impossible!

 When fighting fandom, we are attacking those **** who use the name of "fanjin" to do business and make profits, not the fans who are serious about doing fandom.

 “Then the copyright fee...”

Nantong hesitated and said: "If we decide to adapt a certain fan work, do we need to pay copyright fees?"

 This is a confusing account!

The author of the fanfic sells the fanfic he wrote to the original author. Then the question arises, should the original author pay the author?

 Give it, in what name?

What you write is a fanfic. In the final analysis, the copyright belongs to you. If you buy the copyright, it is like taking off your pants and farting.

 Don’t give it to me. I’ve also created part of my original work, which is a contribution of my brain work. It’s really unjustifiable not to pay me some compensation...

 “You still have to give money, but you can’t give money in the form of copyright transactions.”

Gu Miao made a judgment and said: "If you really want to adapt a fan work, then give him a screenwriter position, and then sign an "authorized creation agreement" to pay the money in the form of bonuses. "

 It is impossible to buy copyright.

Even if this transaction is actually a copyright purchase, it cannot be said that it must be said that Wanbao officially authorized the author to "commission" the story script.

 This is also to protect the reputation of both parties.

On the one hand, Wanbao will not be affected, and the author will not attract ridicule and abuse from fans of the original work. It is a win-win situation.

 Copyright?

What is the copyright transaction?

 This author is a contracted screenwriter of Wanbao. He is officially authorized to create story scripts for the animation production team.

 This is not a fan, this is an officially authorized novel!

　　Everyone has signed the contract, and the copyright belongs to Wanbao from beginning to end. Don’t talk nonsense!

Whoever spreads rumors again and says that this is a fan work, be careful that Jiangchuan Pizza Hut will sue you...
