The Strongest Animator [Rebirth]

Shepherd Xing put one hand on his chin as if thinking: "How about I make another handwriting, or use movie footage to make an edit, and collect all the pictures that seem ordinary and look back and are full of abuse? "

"..." The system said sincerely, "Can you be a human being?"

"Don't you think this feeling of burying the knife... summarizing the easter eggs is particularly fun?" Shepherd gave it an example: "For example, at the beginning of the movie, everyone looked at Harry, and only Snape looked into his eyes Compared with the scene where Snape stared into Harry's eyes before he died, is there a feeling of 'the first and last time he saw him, all he saw were his eyes'?"

The system doesn't want to talk.

What do your eggs look like?

But this obviously does not affect the interest of the Shepherd Star: "There is also a glimpse of Dumbledore's chocolate frog card in the movie, the phrase 'defeat the dark wizard Grindelwald in [-]', the audience at this time Even if you notice this, you definitely won’t think too much about it, and at most regard it as one of Dumbledore’s glorious histories..."

No one will know the meaning of Bill's paraphrase, "He doesn't care about anything as long as he doesn't get him off the Chocolate Frog card."No one realized that the day when he was admired and commended by thousands of people might be the most painful day in his life.

Considering the ending of the Weasley twins in the original novel, and looking at the first part, when the students sang the school song in the Hogwarts auditorium, the Weasley twins deliberately sang the funeral march, which seems to be an abuse point .

System: ... ==.

It can be seen that the shepherd star is purely the only insider in the world, and he is panicked. In order to avoid the follow-up plot of the story from being leaked in advance, he has no way to tell other people in Huaying. I can only talk about him from left to right, and my heart full of spoilers is beyond words, so I drag it to vent my depression!

After figuring this out, the system refused to communicate with its own host, and simply pretended it didn't exist.

Shepherd star became even more depressed immediately.

He clicked on various movie-related forum websites, and watched the "Harry Potter Story" in movies such as "Ten Most Healing Movies" and "There is always a movie that warms your heart" unknowingly mixed in. Sorcerer's Stone", he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of regret.

Life is really lonely as snow.

Fortunately, fans and viewers know nothing about the resentment of Shepherd Star at this moment. They are still immersed in the storyline of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and the visual feast shown in the theater. Passers-by are also infected by the ubiquitous Amway, and more and more passers-by who are not interested in animated films have also entered the cinema.

After all, it's the winter vacation right now. Is there anything more suitable for a family of three to watch than an excellent animated movie for the Chinese New Year?

These Amway and praise are directly reflected in the film schedule and box office of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

Since "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" proved to theaters that the sudden surge in the box office that day was not accidental, the number of films for this animated film jumped directly to the first place. When the release was extended for two months, the total box office has come from behind. With the box office of 30 billion in the first month, it is firmly on top of the 25 billion "Sound of the Rain"!

As soon as this result came out, not to mention colleagues in the industry, even Huaying's own people were stunned for a while.

"This..." Fang Lian said uncertainly, "Are we accidentally breaking the movie box office record?"

Wen Feihang also took out his mobile phone, and searched the box office records that he had confirmed countless times: "The previous highest record was "Red Sun" directed by Clark Eddy, with a total box office of 27 billion, which is equivalent to our current record. Every step forward is setting a new record."

In contrast, Mu Xingxue is more direct - he has already skipped the box office of the movie, and started to count the money while planning the peripheral plans of the movie.

In fact, the impact of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" on the film industry is far more than simply breaking box office records.

Before Huaying, there were not a lot of high-grossing movies, at least a dozen or so with a box office of more than one billion, but all of these movies were live-action movies.In the eyes of most investors, animated films are money-losing goods, and whoever invests will be unlucky. The animation film with the highest box office before has a total box office of only [-] million.

It is precisely because of this cost-effectiveness that the animation department of most film companies is basically a decoration, and some companies do not even have an animation department at all.

Under such circumstances, the appearance of "Harry Potter" seems to let investors see another possibility-it also gives many difficult animation film directors a glimmer of hope.

Although Huaying itself has no similar intentions, it is undeniable that the precedent of "Harry Potter" is enough to prove that animated movies are not completely inferior to live-action movies, as long as they have excellent scripts and production , Even if it is an animated movie, it can also get the same box office as the blockbuster movie!

Not to mention the high box office that can be brought by the box office of the "Harry Potter" series of films themselves, with such an excellent big IP, its peripheral income must not be much less, such as the common snacks in the movie, the food of different characters, etc. Magic wands, wizard robes of various colleges, etc., if you really want to calculate it, the peripheral income may not be less than the movie box office.

With this steady stream of income, the planning of the theme park can also start preparations.

The animated film has come to an end, and the next step is naturally the rewards that should be given out, and the holidays that should be given out.When the Shepherd Star came down, there were only three or five people left in the office hall that was bustling not long ago.

"The last quarter's sales report of "Hua Ying Manga" is here." Qiu Fengmao said.

Influenced by Musuxing, and because Huaying itself is a younger company, Huaying does not have the habit of holding boring meetings to kill time. Seeing Musuxing come out now, Qiu Fengmao is not procrastinating, Simply push the annual report to the other party.

Shepherd star glanced at the report.

The result was almost the same as he expected—although Qiu Fengmao had made considerable efforts in discovering new talents and new works, and initially achieved certain results, but with the end of the Sherlock Holmes series, the sales of "Huaying Comics" will inevitably increase. a downward trend.

The Shepherd Star is not surprised by this.

Phenomenal works such as the Sherlock Holmes series can indeed bring a huge sales bonus to comic magazines, but how can phenomenal works be so common?It is impossible for Huaying to rely on the IP adaptation in the system mall forever, and the same is true for "Huying Comics".Although the sales volume of "Hua Ying Manga" has declined, overall, it is still within the normal fluctuation range.

And that's exactly what he wanted.

Today's "Hua Ying Manga", in terms of sales, may be slightly worse than before, but the serialized comics have gradually begun to focus on original comics, such as Meng Zhiyuan's "Night Watchman 2" - the sales volume of "Hua Ying Manga" The plunge due to the end of the Sherlock Holmes series is largely due to the new blood of this comic.

Qiu Fengmao said again: "In addition to the comic works that are being serialized on "Hua Ying Manga", in the past six months, we have also received some works that do not meet the review standards of "Hua Ying Manga", but the comics themselves have certain bright spots. So I was wondering, should we consider a sub-issue of the magazine, or a comic website?"

"Yes," Mu Suxing nodded: "Let's put the website aside for now. There may be other arrangements in the company. You decide for the sub-journal. I just want the result."

Qiu Fengmao nodded, he got up and was about to leave, before he took two steps, he turned around and asked bluntly as if he remembered something, "By the way, what do you plan to do with the comics of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"? "

Mu Su Xing: "The comics in this series will be very long. In terms of specific details and style, I request that they be completely consistent with the animation movie version. Many places will be more detailed. You can go back and ask the comic authors under Huaying to see if there are any. If you are interested in this series, please send me a trial draft later.”

Qiu Fengmao left contentedly.

Shepherd Xing then flipped through the reports of Thorn Interactive Entertainment and the animation department.

Needless to say, the animation department, before the Harry Potter movies, he was directly in charge of this department, but as the overall focus of Huaying gradually shifted to the movies, it was handed over to Cui Hongyi.And because the main employees are all in the Harry Potter production team, only "Night Watchman 2" animation subscriptions ranked second on this year's list, and TV animation was not involved.

The changes in Thorn Interactive Entertainment are the smallest, and the monthly turnover of several games has basically stabilized.Shepherd Xing's eyes swept over the familiar name, and inadvertently landed on the last string of small characters.

"'Game Designer'? New game?"

Probably did not expect Mu Su Xing to be attracted by the last game, Jiang Yucheng was obviously stunned for a moment, with a somewhat tangled expression on his face.

"It can be said to be a game, or it can be said to be a simple game production tool." Jiang Yucheng thought for a while and explained: "In simple terms, this game itself is actually a game editor. Players can use the game editor It is a game production engine that anyone can easily use to create pixel RPG games or visual novels with the programs and materials that have been set in the game.”

Jiang Yucheng didn't really pay much attention to this little gadget that he fiddled with on a whim. He just regarded it as a small stand-alone game, hung it on the game platform at will, and left it behind.If she hadn't asked the question at this moment, he would have almost forgotten his mistake at that time.

Star Shepherd was interested, and he repeated it as if confirming: "You mean, this is a game production tool that anyone can easily use?"

Jiang Yucheng nodded and added: "...But not many people are interested in it. This kind of engine can be made by replacing it with others, but no one has done it."

Take visual novels, for example.

The plot-oriented love games that are common in the market today can basically be produced through this game production engine.But this kind of stand-alone love adventure game is almost always a buyout system, and the profit is incomparable to that of the card-drawing love mobile game. However, any game company that is a bit pursuing money will not make this kind of game.

The same goes for pixel RPG games.

That's why Jiang Yucheng didn't take it to heart.

"From another angle," Shepherd star thought, "What if we don't treat it as a game, but build an independent game platform based on this game production engine?"
