Chapter 176 "Amber Sword"
While the business department was busy, the development department of Weidu Entertainment also tightened its time and started working hard.
I made a lot of money in "Fantasy Three Kingdoms", and Fan Zhe and Ye Jiayi were angry and said that they would continue to carry out further projects later. Without the intention of stopping, the company also stepped up recruiting people.
On the one hand, experts and experienced people must continue to look for them.
In addition, Weidu Entertainment's vision has also focused on college talents.
In the past, the company also launched some campus recruitment in places such as Shenghai Academy of Art and National Academy of Fine Arts. But at that time, the overall size of Weidu Entertainment was not large and there was no energy to engage in campus recruitment.
When it comes to school recruitment and training fresh graduates, ordinary small companies are unwilling to do it, except for recruiting cheap workers to squeeze them out.
For Weidu Entertainment, recruiting a bunch of fresh graduates with little experience and even insufficient level was not very meaningful for many projects that were short of staff.
But now the situation is slightly different.
In summary, Weidu Entertainment is now a company with an annual revenue of nearly one billion. They already have the capital to recruit potential fresh graduates and cultivate their own teams by recruiting potential graduates.
After all, if the experienced players recruited from outside, unless they are really good at their level, where can there be people they trained by themselves be useful?
Not everyone wants Weidu Entertainment. The schools they choose to start school recruitment are basically concentrated in major art academies.
Gome, Central America, Qingmei...
We have given relatively generous conditions and recruited a group of seedlings with good levels and endless potential to fill the company's various project teams.
On the one hand, it is to cultivate talents. On the other hand, these people with good art skills can help in projects when they enter the company. They may lack work experience and design concepts, but young people have many ideas, are full of vitality, and dare to fight, which is also an advantage.
With a wave of campus recruitment, the company flocked to thirty or forty fresh graduates, some of whom were interns. In addition, some of the experienced artists recruited through the club, the art development team of Weidu Entertainment officially exceeded 200 people at the beginning of November.
At the same time, the scale of the entire company has reached the point of more than 400 people.
Nearly half of the artists are working hard to create the dream of the first 3A masterpiece in the project team of "Taiwu Painting 2".
The entire development cycle of that work should be relatively long. If it can be made next year, it will be Amitabha Buddha. Even if it is not done well in some places, it is not impossible to do it for two or three years.
Fan Zhe has money and can afford to burn.
But besides games, the company also has other projects to do.
According to the plan, the two projects "Amber Sword" and "Hell Apartment" mentioned at the annual meeting will be officially launched within this year.
The first official project was launched by "Amber Sword".
This will be an animation work.
The content of "Amber Sword" is basically a high-level game that is highly played by a level 100. He was reborn overnight and was reborn in the game "Amber Sword". When it was at the beginning of the game, he then upgraded all the way.
Before "Amber Sword", there were also works written with such an beginning, and after it, there were more.
However, this work is special. The game world created by the author Pneumonia is very interesting.
In the game of his previous life, the protagonist is a player born in the country of "Eluin". He witnessed with his own eyes that the human kingdom Eluin was destroyed by Madara, the kingdom of the undead in the War of the Black Roses. The Valkyrie Freya, whom he admired, died on the battlefield, and the eldest princess Griffiin was also suffering. He was determined to change all this.
The first feature of this work is that its "fantasy" tastes very strong and authentic. The entire world background structure has the shadow of DND behind it. The protagonist takes risks all the way and saves the kingdom, and he also becomes stronger step by step, fighting against all forces.
In addition to the enemy's country Madara, the enemy involved the Cruz Empire, involving elves, dwarves, demons, dragons, and confrontations between major holy religions. There are the legendary "Dungeon Legion" and "Dark Dragon" that destroyed the world...
The entire worldview is structured in a grand masterpiece of nearly 6 million words, very grand. Many characters also have their own characteristics.
In short, in Fan Zhe's view, this is a work with great potential to adapt into animation.
To do this animation, first of all, it will be clear about the style. It will definitely be more beautiful and may be closer to the Japanese Man Feng, Knight, Elf, Princess... The descriptions of these characters must be beautiful enough.
In addition, a very important point is also what Fan Zhe really wants to give this work, which is one word: ‘epic feeling’.
In Fan Zhe's view, in "Amber Sword", the characteristic of "epic feeling" cannot be lost. How to describe an epic in a fantasy world is one of the most important problems that his work needs to solve.
In the early stage of the story, the protagonist leads refugees and the second-line army of the kingdom, and strives to fight against the undead army under this decadent national system; in the later stage of the story, the protagonist's power gradually takes shape and fights with the demons and evil gods in the myth. This epic creation is indispensable.
Fan Zhe hopes that when viewing this animation, the audience can deeply feel the joys and sorrows of this world.
"Make a 2D animation version of the Lord of the Rings, tsk, you're excited to think about it."
In early November, the "Amber Sword" project team was officially established, and Fan Zhe is still the chief producer of the project team.
But he is a flesh and blood body after all, not an iron man. Now the projects that Weidu Entertainment has already carried out include "Taiwu Painting 2" and "Amber Sword". Soon, the project "Hell Apartment" will also be put on the agenda, and Fan Zhe will definitely be the chief producer.
Moreover, it is estimated that before the project established this year is completed, new TV series projects will definitely be launched next year...
He will definitely be too busy with multiple projects to hold back.
However, the title of chief producer is more of a supervision and an influential approach, rather than saying that he must participate in the project wholeheartedly.
For example, in "Amber Sword", he decided that he would not do anything else in person except drawing some concept design drafts and supervising the creation of the script. He decided to hand over the entire project to an old comrade.
Chapter completed!
