Rebirth: I Carry A Desktop Computer Inside Me - #73 - Chapter 73 Special Effects Short Drama Production Of "Deep Space"

Jiang Cheng didn’t know this, but he felt that the other party was very happy to pay. The first business took the company more than four days and made 400,000.

But this doesn’t happen often.

In China, there are many outsourcing studios, and many of them are having a hard time.

There are not many movies and TV shows every year, but there are even fewer that require special effects, especially high-quality special effects.

Even though Jiang Cheng’s special effects studio has become very popular online, it still hasn’t received any more cooperation invitations.

Jiang Cheng thought about it and decided he might as well do it himself.

It just so happened that Yu Xinran responded with the news that “Deep Space” had obtained the film and television and animation adaptation rights at a cost of 800,000 yuan.

After getting the copyright, Jiang Cheng hired a screenwriter through Zhao Chuan, and based on his hastily self-taught screenwriting knowledge, he discussed with him how to adapt it.

“My plan is not to make regular movies and TV shows, but short special effects dramas like “Invasion” that will be played on video platforms.”

Facing this young screenwriter named Chang Qing, Jiang Cheng was still a little worried, so he sat down and explained his thoughts clearly.

Chang Qing listened and quickly remembered, “About how many episodes do you want to produce? Are there any requirements for the length of each episode?”

“As for the short drama, one episode lasts about 15 minutes, or at most 15 episodes.” Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said.

Chang Qing nodded and wrote it down, “I have also read the book “Deep Space” again. I feel that the imagination is good, but if I really want to adapt a short play, I think the opening chapters 1-11 are more suitable.”

“Well, I think so too.” Jiang Chengdao, “But if it is portrayed from the perspective of the protagonist, it is a bit too plain. My idea is to make an ordinary person the protagonist of the short play and finally join the special forces.”

“Okay, let me make it up.”

“The story must be smooth and have a certain degree of conflict, and there is no need for emotional lines.”

“Understood.”

After explaining the matter of screenwriting, Jiang Cheng went to Maple Fire Network Technology Company (Maple Fire Games).

After being busy with other things, Jiang Cheng only came to Maple Fire Games once every weekend.

With the stable operation and maintenance of “Maple Fire Puzzle 2”, “Subway Run”, “Sim City” and “Snake Fight”, the company’s monthly turnover has exceeded 20 million yuan.

This made Jiang Cheng click his tongue.

It finally looks like I have a little bit of money.

However, Jiang Cheng thought of chips and semiconductors, and felt that the money was still too little.

“Mr. Jiang, would you like to take a look at the recruitment plan this time?” Chen Feng handed the completed recruitment plan to Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng took a quick look and saw that he had promised to recruit some game engine development talents and a client game program development department last time.

“Okay, let’s follow this move first.” Jiang Cheng put down the plan, “In the future, let the Human Resources Department calculate the employment demand and try to focus on the school recruitment.”

Chen Feng nodded, “It is indeed necessary. Many good talents have already been recruited during the school recruitment.”

“The HR department is responsible for the specific recruitment of personnel. For game engine development, I will give a few questions to see how good they are.” Jiang Cheng reminded again.

Nowadays, as the company gradually grows, it is no longer possible for Jiang Cheng to interview one by one, and he does not have the energy.

Chen Feng said with a smile, “Mr. Jiang personally sets the questions, so the best talents will be selected.”

“How are the games going?”

“The jigsaw puzzle game is already in decline, and the average number of daily online users has dropped by 50%. However, there is nothing we can do about it. Although there are more levels, you will eventually get tired of playing them.” Chen Feng was familiar with the situation and reported on each one. stand up.

“The other three games are still very popular. Although the number of online users of “Subway Run” has declined, it has stabilized at around 3 million. By the way, last night, Gugu Games, a subsidiary of Gugu Company in the United States, contacted us and wanted to Agent overseas.”

Jiang Cheng listened and asked, “What conditions did they put forward?”

“The copyright fee is 500,000 yuan, divided into 20%.”

“It’s low,” Jiang Cheng shook his head. “The game “Subway Run” is classic and playable. We can also develop an overseas-style subway version, but the copyright fee will not be less than 1 million yuan, and the share must be at least 25%.”

Chen Feng wrote it down, “Okay, I’ll talk to them again in the next two days.”

Later, Chen Feng reported on the other two games, which were generally good.

The number of daily online users of “Snake Fight” has dropped rapidly. After all, many people just play this game as a novelty, and very few actually play it every day.

But when the number of people drops to a certain level, say the current 600,000, it stabilizes.

Because there will be a steady stream of new people coming to try it out.

“SimCity” is different. Its players are relatively stable, and new players are constantly added. Currently, the number of daily online users has reached 1 million, and many master players have built beautiful cities in their minds.

But most of the users who don’t spend money are currently only in medium-sized cities.

Jiang Cheng finally said, “You have done a good job in developing the company, but you are still not decisive enough. From now on, as long as you have good ideas and good directions, you can tell me. As long as it is beneficial to the development of the company, I will support you. Of course. , year-end dividend, if the company’s net profit is more than 100 million, I will give you a profit dividend of up to 3 points.”

3 points, that is more than 3 million yuan.

This is equivalent to allowing him to enjoy the treatment of a general manager.

Chen Feng was a little excited, “Thank you, Mr. Jiang, I will continue to do a pioneering and enterprising career.”

“It’s still early before the end of the year, so keep working hard. You can also let it slide. The salary will be adjusted at the end of this year. The specific extent will depend on the company’s performance.” Jiang Cheng waved his hands, still calm.

“OK.”

As soon as Chen Feng left, Jiang Cheng called Ding Caiyi.

Ding Caiyi is now the manager of the art department and has just graduated. At that time, it was just an internship, but after seeing the success of several of Jiang Cheng’s games, she decisively chose to stay here.

What’s more, in this company, she is already a department manager (although she is still only the person in charge).

I would like to ask, where can I become a manager right after graduation?

But here in Jiang Cheng, she realized this dream.

Not only the salary has been increased to 8,000, but also the benefits have been raised.

Therefore, she admired and respected Jiang Cheng very much.

“Mr. Jiang, are you looking for me?”

Jiang Cheng took a look and felt that although this little girl had just graduated, she was already dressed in a workplace style. The label on her left chest said, Ding Caiyi, the person in charge of the art department.

“Sit down.” Jiang Cheng sat on the office chair and pointed to the front, “There are three people in the art department now, right?”

“Yes, Mr. Jiang, we hired two people last time, namely Meng Yang from Lu Academy of Fine Arts and Yi Ziming from Jin Academy of Fine Arts.” Ding Caiyi introduced.

Jiang Cheng nodded, “Do you have any tasks on hand at the moment?”

“I’m drawing the map art for the updated version of “Subway Run”, but it’s almost completed, and I don’t have many tasks at hand at the moment.”

“Okay, you bring someone to help me paint.” Jiang Cheng said directly, “Of course, there will be other rewards.”

Ding Caiyi was a little confused, “Mr. Jiang, what kind of painting do you mean?”

“Original painting of science fiction.” Jiang Cheng took out a piece of white drawing paper, on which an outline of a lunar base had been drawn. “I’m planning to make a science fiction short drama here, and I need some original paintings.”

Ding Caiyi took a few glances and found it very interesting, “Although I have never painted this kind of thing, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”

“It requires imagination and creativity.” Jiang Chengdao. “Who do you choose to come with?”

“Yiziming, he is a boy and should be more imaginative about science fiction.” Ding Caiyi thought for a while and suggested.

Jiang Cheng nodded, “Nacheng, arrange the things at hand and come over in the afternoon to discuss it in detail.”

With someone who drew the original paintings, Jiang Cheng became more confident in producing special effects short dramas.

After all, it would be difficult for him to mess around in his body’s computer alone and come up with something better. Sometimes it would still take a lot of collective effort.

Since she was going to do a special effects skit, the four people Li Silin recruited were naturally not enough. Jiang Cheng had asked her to continue recruiting people.

It requires a studio size of at least ten professionals to be able to handle it normally.

But soon, production of the “Deep Space” shorts began.

Based on the original painting, Jiang Cheng used Maya to conduct 3D modeling in the computer inside his body. After mapping and binding, he handed over the models of people and objects to Fang Qiliang and others for preliminary action production.

Of course, this part is time and energy consuming.

This is no better than Jiang Cheng’s own simulated special effects “Invasion” series, which are just special effects production with a small number of shots, not a real short video.

In the short play, Jiang Cheng also needs rich background materials and models of buildings, weapons, characters, etc.

Jiang Cheng estimated that just the first few episodes would take him several days.
