Chapter 55 Animation production is really expensive

The problem of card original painting is solved, and it is only the first step.

Chen Mo plans to deal with other art resources, such as ui, scene original paintings, card special effects, etc., later. If you can outsource it, you can do it yourself.

There is still a serious problem now, and you have to find a reliable animation production company.

For animation companies in this world, it should be no problem to reproduce "My Name is MT", but Chen Mo still wants to do it more carefully, at least reaching the level of "My Name is MT" in the next few seasons, and it would be better to be able to surpass "Yamaguchi Yamaguchi's Battle".

After all, this anime is equivalent to promoting the game. To save money, it is equivalent to sacrificing the promotional effect.

Chen Mo himself didn't know anyone from the animation production company. He thought about it and decided to call Zhao Zihao.

After all, Zhao Zihao runs a game studio and often comes into contact with people in the game circle. It should not be difficult to find a reliable animation production company.

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

This Xuandong Aurora Studio is quite famous in the industry and has several pretty good Chinese comic works, so it should be fine in terms of strength.

Chen Mo briefly mentioned his request and made an appointment with the person in charge there to discuss the experience store tomorrow.

After the talk was over, Chen Mo could no longer open his eyes.

"This super accelerator is really powerful..."

Chen Moqiang forced himself to wash up and fell asleep on the bed.

...

The next morning.

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

No wonder this super accelerator cannot be used continuously in the short term, it may really cause death!

Get up, wash, and open the door normally.

Wen Lingwei is now like Su Jinyu. She arrives on time at 10 o'clock every morning, and comes with her own hand-painted board and laptop to color the cards in the conference room on the first floor of the experience store.

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

The person in charge is Guo Feng. He is not very young at the age of forty, with a gentle face, but a little bald.

Chen Mo did not make too much politeness, and directly explained his needs straightforwardly.

"That's right. I plan to make an anime. The first season is about to produce 10 episodes, each episode is about 10 minutes. There is a theme song at the beginning and end of the film."

"I can provide all the characters, scenes, plots, lines, storyboards, etc. 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 while and asked, "Are you planning to invest in full by yourself?"

Chen Mo nodded: "Yes."

Guo Feng said: "This, I advise you from a very personal perspective. The investment in animation is relatively large. If it is not popular, it may not be able to recover the cost at all. You have to do your own role, plot and storyboard, and the risk will be even greater."

"Of course, as long as you give enough money, we will do the same thing, just give you a kind reminder."

Chen Mo nodded: "Well, thank you for your reminder. I know what you want. You can just quote."

Guo Feng nodded: "Okay. According to the market conditions, generally speaking, the cost of an anime is about 24 minutes per episode is about 500,000 yuan, and the average 1 minute is equivalent to 20,000 yuan. Of course, this is the most top-notch level in the industry, and it includes the costs of design, storyboards, scripts, etc.."

Chen Mo forced himself to wipe his cold sweat calmly and said, "Well... I'll think about it."

In fact, the so-called top-level level is basically equivalent to the Japanese comics in the past. As long as you take it out, it will definitely be a big production, high-definition picture quality, dubbing, and bgm. These are definitely top-level levels.

But this cost is indeed high for Chen Mo. Based on 20,000 yuan per minute, one episode is 200,000 yuan per 10 minutes. There are 10 episodes in the first season, so I can go for 2 million yuan.

It is hard to say how much it cost to "My Name is MT" in my previous life, but it is definitely not as expensive as this level, and it is far from the same.

Ledong Zhuoyue took 3 million to get the copyright of "My Name is Mt", which shows that it was a huge sum of money for the creative team of "My Name is Mt".

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 slightly, the money can be less."

"Of course, this is based on your needs."

Chen Mo asked: "Is there a difference between 3d and 2d?"

Guo Feng explained: "There are differences, but not much difference. In fact, our 2D animation is basically made of three to two, that is, using three-dimensional technology to show the two-dimensional effect. If it is purely 2D hand-painted, the price may be 80,000 or 90,000 yuan per minute. Now no one is doing that kind."

"Because pure 2D hand-painting requires too many original artists, the previous 2D animation should have been considered a labor-intensive industry, and the main money is expensive with the original artists. Now, the three-turn two technology is very mature, which 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. Sure enough, technology has changed the world.

Chen Mo thought for a moment.

Two million films in the first season, is it expensive?

In fact, it is not expensive for the profitability of "My Name is MT". If "My Name is MT" can be as successful in this world as in the previous life, then it only takes one month to make back all the money from the 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 cannot become popular, it will be too much for Chen Mo.

It’s a small loss, but he made a bet with others!

Therefore, Chen Mo dare not save money on animation. 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 decided, so I will do it according to high standards. However, if I publish a character and script, I should save a part of this money."

Guo Feng nodded: "Of course, if you don't consider the investment in scripts, character designs, storyboards, etc., this cost can be reduced a little, but it won't be reduced too much, 10%.

Chen Mo couldn't help but raise his forehead. It wasn't much cut, but if you count it, you can save 200,000, which is all real money.

Guo Feng also said: "However, if you publish scripts and character designs here, you have to work closely with our staff. The main thing is to finalize these settings and storyboards in a timely manner, and try not to modify them frequently to prevent them from affecting the subsequent production progress."
