A few minutes later, Wu Chuan knocked on the door and entered.

"Mr. Pei, this is the first episode of the "Agent Academy" anime that was created according to your previous instructions."

Wu Chuan said while handing over the tablet.

Pei Qian reached out to take it and clicked directly to play.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, Pei Qian fell into silence as he watched the video that had been played.

Good guy, this length!

It's gone if you're not careful, it's really unexpected.

When Pei Qian watched "Successor" before, he had one episode and one hour. After going to work in the afternoon, he watched three episodes of "Successor" in the conference room and could get off work directly.

As a result, this "Agent Academy" is better. The first episode includes the opening and ending of the movie, and it will be a total of 14 minutes!

In other words, if the opening and ending of the movie are cut off, this episode will only last 10 minutes.

Although I had already expected the shortness of "Agent Academy", I never expected it to be so short!

Of course, Wu Chuan cannot be blamed for this, after all, Pei Qian asked for it at the beginning.

Wu Chuan spent a long time examining all domestic animation studios, but Pei Qian was not satisfied. He felt that it was too likely to make money by handing them to these animation studios. So he slapped his head and decided to do it by playing games and using real-time calculations to make anime.

Of course, Wu Chuan also put forward a lot of opinions. The general idea is that if you want to do real-time calculations, these models may have to be redone, and you need to find special motion capture actors, which is not easy to control costs, is too difficult, etc.

So Pei Qian was happy, this is what he wanted!

Finally, "Agent Academy" forced the process of real-time calculations. Wu Chuan attracted a group of people inside Feihuang Studio, and then dug up a group of people from outside, and started making them with a tough bullet.

Of course, Pei Qian must have given the greatest financial support. With such a good thing as being able to burn money, how can you stand by and watch?

Pei Qian's request was that one episode would be enough to do fifteen to twenty minutes, and this time was quite appropriate.

As long as one phase is made before settlement, it will be considered a task to be completed. At least this project has been put online, and the system cannot choose this principle, right?

Now it seems that Wu Chuan completed the task ahead of schedule, but his task was a bit discounted.

What about fifteen to twenty minutes? This is obviously only ten minutes!

Short and powerless!

Pei Qian said, "It seems to be a little shorter than I thought."

Wu Chuan quickly explained: "Actually, I originally planned to make it for more than fifteen minutes, but in the actual production process, I found that the original work of "Agent Academy" itself is a relatively fragmented plot, and it is more appropriate to make it for ten minutes. If it is fifteen minutes, it is difficult to break it in a particularly perfect place."

"And, this is a new way to make anime, full of risks. If you make the first episode shorter, you will first produce a finished product to see the effect. If you find a problem, it will be better to correct it in time."

"Of course, if you think the time is too short and the audience may not be able to accept it, then I can go back and cut it and cut it in, cut some of the content planned in the second episode, make up for fifteen minutes, or simply make two-in-one into twenty minutes."

Pei Qian raised his hand: "Forget it, actually, after looking at it like this, ten minutes are OK."

He suddenly realized that the shorter it was and the more out of context, the less the audience liked to watch it?

It's actually nothing wrong with being shorter.

The quality of episode 1, to be fair, is OK.

It's not particularly good or bad.

Although GOG's game has ready-made hero modeling and the modeling is also very fine, it is still not enough to use it directly for animation. After all, GOG's perspective determines that there is no need to achieve the level of refinedness of a stand-alone game, which will occupy more resources. Running on some low-end computers will cause lag and reduce the player group.

Therefore, although the production team of "Agent Academy" can directly use the hero models and some scene materials from GOG, it still needs to be refined and adjusted.

Judging from the finished product, "Agent Academy" has a qualitative improvement compared to some folk-made anime and short dramas.

After all, the entire animation production team was drawn from Feihuang Studio and dug up some professional talents from outside. This kind of regular army is beyond the reach of ordinary amateurs.

But on the other hand, the production level of the first episode of "Agent Academy" is still very different from the works of some foreign dramas and domestic first-class animation production companies.

Considering the large amount of resources invested by Tengda Group in "Agent Academy" and the speed of content output...

This project seems to be OK? Can you lose money?

Pei Qian calculated with his fingers that the last time Wu Chuan came to find himself to formally finalize "Agent Academy" was at the end of October last year, so the official production should have been in early November, and it was almost two months since now.

It took only two months to create an episode? Ten minutes?

Then this efficiency is really touching.

Of course, Pei Qian had no intention of blame at all, but instead thought Wu Chuan was doing a good job.

It is necessary to have more employees like this to lose money!

Even if you become proficient in the process and accelerate the production speed, the efficiency will only double at most, right?

One episode a month, no more.

As a result, one episode only takes ten minutes. Even if the number of views is so high, how much money can it cost?

Since "Agent Academy" is a short drama animation, it must be like "Successor". You can only talk about cooperation with video websites, either buying it out at a price or calculating the share based on the number of views and popularity.

But "Agent Academy" is not as good as "Successor"!

No matter how much "Successor" is scolded now, it is still a high-standard production. There are also cameo appearances from actors such as Lu Zhiyao, which can scare the Ali Island website.

What is the virtue of "Agent Academy"? At most, it will be treated the same as other Chinese comics.

At that time, no matter whether it is a buyout or a share of the money, you won’t make too much money.

Considering this production cycle, this quality...

stable!

Of course, there is another thing that must be considered, which is the plot of "Agent Academy".

Pei Qian felt that this plot was OK and recreated the original work well. In short, it used heroic characters in GOG as the background to tell the funny daily life of a group of athletes (that is, players). Many of the memes used the memes that were widely circulated in reality, and also created some jokes. It was more than enough to use them as videos of meals while eating.

But is it particularly exciting?

That's it.

In short, this is an anime with good plot and quality, but factors such as time, investment, and update frequency determine that it will definitely not be popular.

That would be reassuring.

"Okay, I think it's pretty good, just broadcast it!" Pei Qian handed the tablet back.

Wu Chuan was stunned for a moment: "Is this broadcast? Mr. Pei, you will not give me any suggestions, have you changed it?"

Pei Qian shook his head: "What's there to say about this? I don't know much about this. You are all professionals and you must do better than me."

"Besides, from the perspective of a senior Aili Island audience, I took a good shot, and there is no problem with the video of the meal. Since the quality has reached this point, there is no need to go further."

"Hurry up, hurry up is the bottom line!"

Pei Qian tried hard to instill the concept of "just as long as you want" into Wuchuan, hoping that the quality of "Agent Academy" could be stopped and never be improved.

Even if there are any minor problems, don't change them, just be almost the same.

Wu Chuan nodded: "Okay, Mr. Pei, then do what you said. I'll contact the video website now."

"So...what exactly does this "Agent Academy" adopt? If you buy out, I'm afraid that the price will not be very high for the first time we did an anime..."

Pei Qian waved his hand: "This is easy. You go to Huang Sibo and then talk to Aili Island website. It is like "Successor", and the share is calculated based on the number of views, ratings and other factors."

"But it is still a little different from "Successor". The influencing factors of ratings should be as low as possible, and the influencing factors of total playback volume and total viewing time should be higher."

Pei Qian thought that the production level of "Agent Academy" itself is quite good. Although it is not as good as some of the top animation movies in China, it is also excellent in the domestic animation section of the Aili Island website.

Considering that GOG players prefer this subject and that funny short dramas may naturally benefit from it, the score is likely not low, and it has no comparison with the situation facing "Successor".

Since that's the case, then tilt the focus of the division to the total playback volume, especially the total viewing time.

Just follow the speed of "Agent Academy" update frequency, which is as short and concise as an embroidery needle, how many views can a movie with a 10-minute monthly movie?

Even if the playback volume is good, there will be no problem with the total duration, right?

Wu Chuan was stunned for a moment, but still said nothing, nodded: "Okay, Mr. Pei, I'll make arrangements now."

Seeing Wu Chuan leave, Pei Qian couldn't help but feel a little happy.

Double happiness comes!

"Successor" aired two more episodes last weekend, and Meng Chang's publicity resources were also being poured in, but the situation was still not easy to make money. The ratings fluctuated up and down, but overall it was still very sluggish.

Now I'm going to strike while the iron is hot, and "Agent Academy" is available again. Even if the reputation is good, as long as I can't make money, everything is easy to say.

In this way, the inspiration class of the Final Chinese website has three copyright adaptations projects, two lose money and one makes money.

Only "Eternal Reincarnation" makes money, which is completely acceptable.

After all, "Looking Back is the Side" was the first to be popular and developed by the Tenda game department, so it is understandable to make money.

What's more, I also gained Yu Fei, the main designer, and arranged Hu Xianbin, which was a good loss.

Thinking about it this way, I'm still quite optimistic!
Chapter completed!
