“It’s okay!”

Gu Miao also read the novel "Wandering in the Animation World" and was very satisfied with the quality of the work.

A masterpiece cannot be...

It is too difficult to come up with a masterpiece for a custom-made novel like this. I can only say that it is okay. It is a quality product above the standard and worthy of the price offered by Wanbao.

The great master that Bibi Reading dug up is quite capable. Although it is the first time to write such a novel about a heroine with unlimited flow, the story is quite attractive.

"Absolutely! If he had no ability, we wouldn't ask him to write customized articles."

Huang Kun said with a smile: "Mr. Gu...if there is nothing wrong with the novel, then I will adapt it according to the content of the novel?"

"Can!"

Gu Miao nodded.

There is nothing wrong with the content of the novel, because it was decided before writing that it would be adapted into an animated comic, so the plot rhythm is also based on animation standards, so there is no problem in directly adapting it.

Perhaps the only drawback is that the novel currently contains too little content.

It only has more than 200,000 words, and the dungeon world has only experienced two worlds: "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and "Bear Infested", so the length is a bit short.

If it were to be adapted into an animation, it is estimated that this content can only be produced in 10 episodes or even less. If you want to do more, you have to wait until the word count of the novel exceeds 500,000 or 1 million.

But there's no need to rush.

Online novels are serialized very frequently. With constant updates, if you wait a few months, the number of words will quickly increase.

"That's true..."

Speaking of this, Huang Kun immediately thought of the novel "Three Years After My Son-in-law, I'm an Immortal King and I Stop Pretending". He couldn't help complaining: "The book "My Son-in-law, the Immortal King", I remember the original book has 5 million words.

?”

"Wrong! 7 million words!"

"Have you written so much again? Guigui! The workload of this adaptation seems a bit heavy?"

Huang Kunnan said sternly: "There are so many words in the original work. Just reading it will take several days, right? After reading it, I have to take notes and understand the setting background deeply, tsk tsk!"

He admired Chen Hu so much.

Brother Hu Zi is really a genius. He dares to take this kind of job. He is really not afraid of death! If it were him, he would have fainted the moment he saw the 7 million words of the original work.

"well enough!"

"Although the original work has six to seven million words, the animation is not completed at once. The content produced in the first season only has about one million words." Gu Miao explained.

Online novels are all long-form.

Even the wealthy Penguin would not do this if they were all adapted at once, let alone Wanbao.

According to industry practice, a portion of the content is generally adapted and prepared, and then based on market feedback, a decision is made as to whether to adapt the remaining content.

Give an example.

If there is a fantasy fairy tale online, the plot is roughly that the protagonist has an adventure, ascends from the world of cultivation to the world of immortality, then from the world of immortality to the world of gods, and from the world of gods to the holy world, and finally unifies all the heavens.

If this novel is adapted into animation, it will most likely be divided into seasons based on maps.

The first season is the "Cultivation World" chapter, which only covers the content of the world of cultivation. The second season is the "Fairy World" chapter, which only covers the content of the fairy world...and so on, until the whole book is completed.

The Son-in-law Fairy King project currently being produced by Wanbao Animation also divides the plot in this way.

According to Chen Hu, the plot of the first season only covers the main content of the first 800,000 words of the original work, not even 1 million words.

And the first season only has 26 episodes.

On average, the content of the original novel, which is approximately 30,000 to 40,000 words, can be condensed into a 25-minute animated episode.

This ratio is very normal.

It's even a bit conservative. After all, the common "Internet-based adaptation" animations on the market basically start with an episode of 50,000 words, and some even make an episode of 100,000 words.

"If you want to make an excellent adaptation of a web novel, you can't blindly speed up the process. The plot must advance steadily, and priority must be given to ensuring the continuity of the plot."

"Even if it takes several years to produce only 200,000 words of the original work, but the look and feel is excellent, that's acceptable."

These are Chen Hu’s original words.

His view is that adaptation does not seek speed, but stability. As long as the quality is excellent, even if the plot progresses a little slower, it is not incomprehensible.

Gu Miao agreed with his statement.

Because as far as he knew, the plot rhythm of many popular web-based animations in previous lives was not very fast.

Take the classic Dou Po animation as an example. It has been serialized for many years and has several seasons of animation. Xiao Huohuo has not yet joined the Yunlan Sect for his three-year appointment!

This kind of plot rhythm has not caused controversy. Many people complained that the advancement speed was too slow. If it continues like this, grandson's grandson may not be able to see the completion of the animation.

But it must also be admitted...

Compared with those animations that contain hundreds of thousands of words of the original work in one episode, have fast-paced plots, and have obvious signs of rush, this kind of animation is more popular.

Because, everyone can accept that you do it slowly, but they cannot accept that you do it poorly!

"Fat Hu has this kind of consciousness. It seems that Wanbao will have to rely on him to carry the banner in the future."

Huang Kun sighed and said: "People like me and Hou Bin are completely unable to adapt to the current era of online novel adaptation, and we don't know when they will be eliminated."

"yes!"

"We are all remnants of the old era. We were born at the peak of TV animation and have witnessed the rise and prosperity of online animation."

Gu Miao said with a smile: "Who can say clearly what will happen in the future? At least from now on, old antiques like us have not yet been eliminated."

Isn’t it just an online animation?

Adaptation of web texts may not be understood by everyone, but web animation is not the only type of web text adaptation.

Not to mention, the "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: Guardian of Sheep Village" he is currently producing is also an online animation!

This is so far the only TV animation in the "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" series that is not confirmed to be on a TV platform and will only premiere on an online platform.

"Is it really possible?"

Although Mr. Gu has made up his mind, Huang Kun still wants to persuade him not to act out of anger.

Since the birth of the Pleasant Goat series, the audience has been mainly on the TV platform.

If it is rashly moved to an online platform, will those children really watch it? In other words, do those children really have the equipment to watch it online?

"You underestimate today's children too much."

Gu Miao shook her head: "What's more, after the first broadcast on the online platform, it can still be replayed on the TV platform!"

He never does anything he's not sure about.

The reason why "Yangcun Guardian" is scheduled to premiere on an online platform is that it is a plan based on rigorous and reliable data.

Today's children are basically playing on mobile phones and computers, and only a few are watching TV. Otherwise, how could those mobile games become so popular?

It was precisely after seeing this that Gu Miao felt confident and bold enough to designate "Yangcun Guardian" as an online animation instead of a traditional TV animation.

And, this is just an attempt.
Chapter completed!
