Chapter 218 Adaptation! Setting a Record!

August 20th.

Xingchen Academy's summer European tour officially ended.

On the plane back.

When Chen Zhenwei went to the bathroom, he passed by the seat of his principal.

He was quite surprised to find that the principal was actually sitting there reading a novel.

And it was an online novel called Blasphemy.

When Chen Zhenwei was in high school, he read novels as soon as he went to class. He was a well-read person.

Naturally, he had also read this novel.

At this moment, he saw the principal was also reading, and he was immediately amazed.

After all, the protagonist of this novel does not seem to have a very positive outlook.

I didn't expect that my principal actually likes to read this kind of novel.

Chen Zhenwei was secretly happy, thinking that he had discovered some secret.

He didn't know that Ye Chen was actually selecting adapted works suitable for animation students.

Xingchen Academy's fourth academic year is about to begin.

Animation students will also be promoted to sophomores.

Although in the freshman year.

Animation students have received a lot of attention and recognition from the outside world through the mini-program for commissioned works and the production of champion skins.

But this is not enough.

The best way to reflect the teaching level of animation major is naturally animation works.

Therefore, adaptation of animation should also be put on the agenda.

But the most difficult part of making animation works is actually to construct a reasonable world view and create an excellent story.

This aspect is still the shortcoming of students for the time being.

Therefore, adapting excellent novels is the best choice.

Excellent online novels have already created a good world structure and general plot.

The difficulty of adapting them into animation is undoubtedly greatly reduced.

So now the most important thing is to select materials.

This semester, Ye Chen often reads online novels, and he actually has a rough choice in his mind.

After returning to the college.

Ye Chen called the staff and gave a list of copyrights.

Let the subordinates buy the comic animation adaptation rights of these novels.

There are three online novels on the list.

"The Heaven"

"Profanation"

"Dragon Clan"

These are all online novels selected by Ye Chen after careful consideration.

Needless to say, the first book "The Heaven" is one of the magical books in the field of online novels.

The characters in it, such as Ye Tiandi, Ruthless Empress, Wu Shi Great Emperor, and Hei Huang, are all portrayed vividly by the author, which is impressive.

The whole story is magnificent and moving.

There are countless fans of this novel.

It has a huge fan base and is very popular when it is adapted.

As long as the characters in it can be portrayed well and the plot is not changed.

The adapted works will definitely be a big hit.

The book "Profanation" is an old book from more than ten years ago.

This is a story with a Western fantasy background.

The protagonist in it is indeed very distorted.

Burning, killing, looting, cheating, defying women's wishes, and doing everything to achieve their goals.

It can be said that he has done all the bad things.

It's comparable to the Great Dream Immortal Venerable.

Adapting this book is actually not a good choice.

There is no other reason, this kind of protagonist is too easy to be reported.

In this era when even children's cartoons like Pleasant Goat will be reported.

The adapted works of blasphemy will definitely not live long in China.

But the reason why Ye Chen chose to adapt this book.

is to focus on the foreign market.

Now is the era of economic globalization, and we must open our eyes and look at the world.

Although there are readers of immortal cultivation novels abroad, the number is too small.

The most favorite is definitely fantasy works such as Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones.

What about knights, elves, principalities, etc., is what the other party likes to read.

If you want to make money and gain popularity in the Western animation market.

The type of work must choose fantasy with a wider audience.

And Blasphemy is such a Western fantasy online novel.

As for doing this, even if the work becomes popular, it may not be able to be exported culturally?

Ye Chen can only say that cultural export for the sake of cultural export will never succeed.

If Blasphemy, this work, can become popular abroad.

Then naturally there will be foreign fans who are curious about why Chinese people can write such good Western fantasy works.

They will take the initiative to find more Western fantasy works created by Chinese people to read.

And these Western fantasy works created by Chinese people are generally mixed with many Chinese elements.

The purpose of cultural export will be achieved unconsciously.

But if you start with a work about cultivating immortals.

Then the other party probably won't even bother to take a look, let alone spread culture.

It's like forcing a bull to drink water.

Forcing cultural export will also have no effect.

Making money is the main thing, and spreading culture is secondary, but you may get extraordinary returns.

And blasphemy is not only a Western fantasy background.

The protagonist in it is also a sophisticated egoist who cheats and deceives people in various ways.

The adapted animation of such a story should have a good response abroad.

...

Finally, it is "Dragon Clan".

This is a very popular youth novel, passionate and kingly.

Many teenagers are fans of this book.

Especially many female fans.

This work mainly targets the youth market.

There are many female students in the animation major, and they are very suitable for adapting such youth works.

...

But soon, the secretary sent back a message.

The copyright of the comics and animations of blasphemy is still there.

And the price is not high.

Two million can buy them all.

But the comic and animation adaptation rights of Zhai Tian and Long Zu have been sold.

Even the adapted works have been published.

Do you still want to buy them in this case?

Ye Chen smiled when he heard this. Of course, Ye Chen knew that Zhai Tian and Long Zu already had comics.

The animation has also come out.

Ye Chen has even seen the works. The characters in them are childish, the plots are magically changed, and the essence and characteristics of the original works are not drawn at all.

The results can be said to be quite disappointing.

The copyright value of both has dropped to the lowest, which is just right to buy at a low price.

Anyway, a work can't be adapted only once.

Just look at how many remakes there are.

…

Blasphemy because of the subject matter and world outlook.

The copyright has not been sold and is still in the hands of the author.

At this moment, I heard that someone wanted to buy it, so I sold it without hesitation.

The price is only two million.

The comic and animation copyrights of Zhai Tian and Long Zu have been sold to a third-party company.

But because the adaptation failed, it also did not make money.

The copyright value is not as good as before.

At this moment, I heard that Xingchen Academy was willing to buy it.

Then of course I would sell it without hesitation to get my money back.

Although "Zhetian" and "Dragon Clan" have been adapted once and failed completely.

But the popularity of the original works is there.

So the price is not too low.

The copyright of a single book is 5 million RMB.

But for Xingchen Academy today, this amount of money is nothing.

In the end, it was all acquired at a price of 12 million RMB.

Now the copyright is in hand.

After the school starts, students majoring in animation can start adapting comics and animations!

As for whether it will lose money with so much investment?

Ye Chen thinks it is not a big problem.

As long as comics and animations are popular enough, making money is not a problem.

Comic websites will pay for the right to spread online.

Video websites will also buy the right to broadcast.

There is also the first edition of the physical book, which is also a profit point.

The price of foreign broadcast rights will not be low.

In addition, there is the most important point, that is, IP!

Although it is an adapted work, the characters in the comics and animations belong to Xingchen Academy.

If the work can be popular, licensing the IP to others is also a huge income.

It may even make more money than comics and animations themselves.

For example, the animation Peppa Pig can earn hundreds of millions of dollars in IP licensing fees every year.

It is enough to see how huge the market prospects are.

Ye Chen is very confident in his students.

Then he is naturally confident in the results of the change.

…

It is almost September.

The long summer vacation is coming to an end.

Students cherish the few remaining holidays and enjoy them to the fullest.

Especially students who like to play games, they play games day and night.

Because of the various influences brought by the e-sports major of Xingchen College.

The already popular League of Legends is undoubtedly more popular this year.

The number of online players has skyrocketed.

At a glance in the Internet cafe, all are playing League of Legends.

In the past, it took two or three minutes to wait for ranking.

Now you can basically wait for one minute to enter the game.

The popularity is evident.

And just now, League of Legends released a trailer for the world championship skin.

At twelve o'clock tonight, the champion skin will be officially on sale.

The champion skin is finally coming out!

This made all domestic players' eyes light up.

Since the end of June, Xingchen Academy announced the hero skin based on Tongtian Jiaozhu.

The enthusiasm of the players was mobilized.

In early August, the official League of Legends issued an announcement.

It said that all the designs of Xingchen Academy students had been adopted.

It was being produced in an expedited manner.

This means that the skin designed by Xingchen Academy's animation major was really recognized by the official.

Let the players look forward to the champion skin of this year even more.

Now it is finally on the shelves.

Players couldn't wait any longer and immediately opened the latest skin trailer.

Want to see what other skins made by Xingchen students look like.

As soon as the video was opened, the first thing that came into view was a poster.

The background of the poster is a fairy palace surrounded by fairy air.

Magnificent and magnificent.

The image of Tongtian Jiaozhu, whom they had seen before, sat in the hall.

The four swords of Zhuxian were flying behind him.

The hair was flying, and it was extremely sharp.

On both sides of Tongtian Jiaozhu, five disciples stood proudly.

There were men and women, holding different weapons.

But they all had sharp eyes, as if they were about to usher in a big battle.

The whole poster was full of details, whether it was the details of the clothes and weapons.

They all fully satisfied the imagination of domestic players about the Chinese style skin.

Seeing this, domestic players couldn't help but exclaimed.

The appearance of each skin made them very satisfied.

It was full of fairy spirit, and there was a unique chivalrous spirit of China.

Next, the video began to show the walking posture, special effects, skill effects, etc. of each skin separately.

The first one was naturally the principal's Tongtian Jiaozhu skin.

It was basically the same as the version circulated on the Internet before.

But it was obvious that the official League of Legends had made some fine-tuning.

Let the skin have a stronger sense of attack and look more comfortable when attacking.

The walking posture is also more natural.

And the following skins are all like this.

Each skin has a prototype in the Honghuang Jiejiao.

Each skin's attack method can be found in the original book.

At the same time, the skill effects are particularly domineering, with the shadow of the formation, magic, and fairy weapon in Chinese mythology.

Netizens who watched it were very excited.

In addition to these skill effects.

The return to the city special effects also surprised the players.

When returning to the city.

Behind these skins, there will be a hall that seems to be there and not there.

At the last moment, this hall will become real.

It is exactly the appearance of the hall in the poster.

There are countless stars on the hall, and it is almost missing the four words "Xingchen Academy" written on it.

After the video demonstrates the details of all the skins.

It also demonstrates the interaction between skins.

Different skins will have different voices when they encounter them in the game.

Obviously, the official adopted the opinions of Xingchen students.

After the video ends.

The hearts of domestic players are full of surprises.

This set of skins is really handsome, and there are too many details.

Perfectly hit their desire to buy.

Many players can't wait to buy their favorite skins and experience them in the game.

And many players who play games are also very interested in these language easter eggs.

They immediately made an appointment with their friends.

After the skins are on the shelves, everyone will buy a champion skin to use when playing games.

There are also many champion fans and team fans.

They made a decision without hesitation and bought a set of skins when they were on the shelves.

The desire to buy among domestic League of Legends players has skyrocketed.

Even many zero-krypton parties and free parties can't help it this time.

The reason for this is not that the players are too rich.

But this set of champion skins, as the years when the all-Chinese class won the championship, has an extraordinary meaning for domestic players.

Not to mention that the quality of the whole set of skins is so high, full of details, and extremely high in appearance.

It has a genuine Chinese style.

Even if it is not a champion skin, it can attract many people to buy.

The quality is far better than the champion skins of previous years.

As a player, it is so cool to be able to use such skins in the game.

So whether it is to support the Star Team, the first all-Chinese champion.

Or simply for the appearance of this skin.

It is completely worth the players' generous donation.

Many players have recharged their coupons in advance, and plan to buy them as soon as 12 o'clock arrives, so that they can have a good time.

...

This champion skin has such a high popularity in China.

It is inevitable that the popularity will break the circle.

Many self-media and up masters have released relevant editing videos of the skin on the video platform.

It has attracted many ordinary viewers.

After all, this set of skins is full of texture, full of details, and top-level Chinese style, which has amazed many viewers.

Especially many viewers who love to read novels, especially those who like prehistoric novels.

At this moment, looking at this set of prehistoric Jiejiao series skins, I only feel that the image of this character is better than the image in many prehistoric comics, and it is close to the original.

This is what the Jiejiao immortals should look like in their minds.

So for a while, many non-player groups were attracted.

But the focus of these non-player groups was more on the skin maker.

After all, everyone knows that this year's League of Legends champion skin was designed by an animation student from Xingchen College.

Although it has long been known that the level of the animation major at Xingchen College is not low.

But the students' level is so high that they can make such a modeled skin.

Still, the audience can't help but feel emotional.

Xingchen's animation major is much better than other animation majors in China.

After all, if it is other animation colleges.

Let alone freshmen.

Even graduates in their third and fourth years of college can't do this level of modeling and design.

This makes the image of Xingchen College in the hearts of netizens even more lofty.

After all, at the beginning, everyone was not optimistic about Xingchen College's opening of an animation major.

As a result, in just one year, Xingchen College strongly rectified its own animation major.

Let the previous doubts disappear.

Many freshmen who are about to report to college.

Even more feeling lost.

Although most of the majors in Xingchen College are full this year.

But there are still many vacancies for the newly opened fitness major.

The outside world is not optimistic about the fitness major, just like it was not optimistic about the animation major at the beginning.

So many freshmen are hesitant and choose other colleges.

But what if the fitness major of Xingchen College also makes achievements a year later?

Many freshmen who did not apply for Xingchen College have some regrets.

Now Xingchen College ranks among the top 100 in the world.

The animation major is also recognized.

It is enough to prove that Xingchen College is extraordinary.

Even if the new major is not optimistic, it is completely worth their gamble.

If there is a chance to choose again.

They will definitely be willing to try.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.

If you miss it, you miss it.

...

At twelve o'clock that night.

The champion skin series was officially launched in the game mall.

Countless interested players chose to buy it at the first time.

As a result, many players were surprised to find that after they clicked to buy, the interface did not respond at all.

Many players who have made deposits found that the game’s deposit QR code could not be opened.

Even entering the game requires queuing.

What is going on?

Soon.

The players reacted...

There were too many players who chose to buy skins at the first opportunity in the middle of the night.

The server was directly blocked...

The official is urgently repairing it.

The server was blocked because a skin was put on the shelves.

This is the first time in the entire history of League of Legends.

It is enough to see how popular the champion skin of this session of the Star Team is and how recognized by players!

And when the official finally completed the emergency repair.

The players who bought the skin with great difficulty wanted to enter the game to try out the skin effect and show off.

They were surprised to find that as soon as they entered the game.

Whether it was teammates or opponents, all the lineups they chose were the Star Champion Skin.

There was no need to even play together.

A group of passers-by lined up together to form a champion skin team.

For a moment.

Summoner's Rift seemed to have become Jiejiao Rift.

A bunch of Jiejiao immortal skins were flying around, killing each other, and it was very lively.

This made all the players sigh.

League of Legends has released so many skins so far.

But no skin has been as popular and sought after as this set of champion skins.

This is simply creating history.

Therefore, even ordinary players can see it.

The sales of this set of champion skins made by Xingchen Animation students will definitely create history...
