Solving the problem with the original card art is only the first step.

Other art resources, such as UI, scene original paintings, card effects, etc., Chen Mo plans to deal with them later, which can be outsourced, and if he can't outsource, he can start it himself.

Now there is a more serious problem, you have to find a reliable animation production company.

For animation companies in this world, there should be no problem in reproducing "My Name is MT", but Chen Mo still wants to be more detailed, at least to the level of the later seasons of "My Name is MT", and it would be better to surpass the level of "Yamaguchi Mountain War".

After all, this anime is equivalent to promoting the game, sacrificing the publicity effect in order to save money, which is equivalent to sacrificing the basics.

Chen Mo himself didn't know anyone from the animation production company, so he thought about it for a while and decided to call Zhao Zihao.

After all, Zhao Zihao runs a game studio, and he usually comes into contact with people in the game circle, so it shouldn't be difficult to find a reliable animation production company.

On the phone, Chen Mo briefly said his request, and Zhao Zihao quickly sent Chen Mo the contact number of the person in charge of the animation studio.

This dazzling aurora studio is still well-known in the industry, and there are also a few good Chinese comic works, so there should be no problem in terms of strength.

Chen Mo briefly said his requirements, and made an appointment with the person in charge over there to meet at the experience store tomorrow.

By the time the conversation was over, Chen Mo couldn't open his eyes anymore.

"This super accelerator is really amazing......"

Chen Mo finished washing and fell asleep on the bed.

……

The next morning.

Chen Mo slept for ten hours, but he still felt a little sore.

No wonder this super accelerator can't be used continuously in the short term, it's really likely to kill people!

Get up, wash up, and open the door normally.

Wen Lingwei is now the same as Su Jinyu, who arrives on time at 10 o'clock every morning, brings her own hand-drawn tablet and laptop, and colors the cards in the conference room on the first floor of the experience store.

In the afternoon, the person in charge of the Xuandong Aurora Studio came, and Chen Mo led him to his studio on the second floor.

The person in charge is called Guo Feng, not more than forty years old, with a kind face, but slightly bald.

Chen Mo didn't be polite, and directly talked about his needs straight to the point.

"That's right, I'm going to make an anime, and I'm going to make 10 episodes in the first season, each episode is about 10 minutes. There is a theme song at the beginning and end of the credits. ”

"Characters, scenes, plots, lines, storyboards, I can provide them, you just need to do it exactly according to my needs."

"So I want to ask, what is the budget for such an anime."

Guo Feng thought for a moment and asked, "Are you planning to fully fund yourself?" ”

Chen Mo nodded: "Yes." ”

Guo Feng said: "This, I advise you from a very personal point of view, the investment in animation is relatively large, if it is not popular, it may not be able to recover the cost at all." You're having to do your own characters, story, and storyboard, which makes the risk even greater. ”

"Of course, as long as you have enough money, we'll do the same, just to give you a kind reminder."

Chen Mo nodded: "Well, thank you for the reminder, I know it in my heart, you can quote directly." ”

Guo Feng nodded: "Okay." At present, according to the market, generally speaking, an episode of about 24 minutes of anime costs about 500,000, and an average of 1 minute is equivalent to 20,000. Of course, this is a relatively top level in the industry, and it includes the cost of design, storyboarding, script, etc. ”

Chen Mo wiped his cold sweat calmly and said, "Hmm...... Let me think about it. ”

In fact, the so-called top level,It's basically equivalent to the level of the previous life.,As long as you take it out, it's definitely a big production.、High-definition picture quality,Dubbing、BGM These must also be top-notch.。

But this cost is really high for Chen Mo, according to 20,000 yuan a minute, 10 minutes of an episode is 200,000, and there are 10 episodes in the first season, so it will be 2 million.

It's hard to say how much "My Name is MT" in the previous life costed, but it is certainly not expensive to this extent, and it is far from it.

At that time, Ledong Excellence spent 3 million to win the copyright of "My Name is MT", which is enough to see that this was a huge amount of money for the creative team of "My Name is MT" at that time.

Guo Feng added: "Of course, the quality of the production is different, the price is definitely different, if you are willing to reduce the quality a little, the money can be less." ”

"Of course, it's based on your needs."

Chen Mo asked, "Is there a difference between 3D and 2D?" ”

Guo Feng explained: "There is a difference, but there is not much difference. In fact, now our 2D animation is basically done with three to two, that is, to use three-dimensional technology to show two-dimensional effects, if pure 2D hand-drawn, then the price may be eighty or ninety thousand per minute, and now no one generally does that. ”

"Because pure 2D hand-painting requires too many concept artists, the previous 2D animation should be considered a labor-intensive industry, and the main money is expensive from the concept artists. Now, the three-to-two technology is very mature and can save a lot of manpower, so the cost has dropped slightly. ”

Chen Mo nodded, the parallel world is still different from the previous life, and sure enough, technology has changed the world.

Chen Mo thought for a moment.

Two million to shoot the first season, is it expensive?

In fact, for the profitability of "My Name is MT", it is not expensive. If "My Name is MT" can be as successful in this world as it was in the previous life, then it only takes a month to earn back all the money for all ten seasons of the anime.

Moreover, "My Name is MT" does not have such a good audience base in this world, if the quality is not enough, if this IP does not become popular, it will be too great a loss for Chen Mo.

Losing money is a small matter, but he made a bet with others!

Therefore, Chen Mo did not dare to save money on anime. It doesn't matter if it's expensive, as long as the quality can be made, that's fine!

Chen Mo said seriously: "Okay, I have decided, I will do it according to high standards." However, if I write a character and a script, I should be able to save some of this money. ”

Guo Feng nodded: "Of course, if you don't consider the script, character design, storyboard, etc., this cost can be reduced a little, but it won't be cut too much, 10%." ”

Chen Mo couldn't help but support his forehead, the reduction was really not much, but if he did the math, it would be saved to save 200,000 yuan, which was all real money.

Guo Feng said: "However, if you have a script and character design here, you have to cooperate closely with our staff, mainly to finalize these settings and storyboards in time, and try not to revise them frequently, so as not to affect the production progress in the future." ”

Chen Mo nodded: "I know." In this way, a week later, that is, at the end of this month, I will give you all the relevant characters, scripts and storyboards of the first season, and then we will sign a formal contract. ”
