Rebirth of the Father of Anime

He Chen and Luo Hao returned to school. There were still more than ten days left before leaving school. There were only a few school staff in the huge school, and there were some students who came to the school in advance to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination.

When the two returned to the dormitory, Zhou Zhe and Zhuang Bufan were already waiting for them in the dormitory.

"Yo, you guys are so early!"

After going back for a year, everyone seemed to have changed a little bit, Luo Hao greeted the two of them with a smile.

Zhuang Bufan grabbed the big and small bags of snacks, handed them to He Chen and Luo Hao, and said, "Some local specialties from my hometown, come and taste... We both came here yesterday, by the way, He Chen, call us this time." Is there going to be another big move?"

Zhuang Bufan's small eyes shone brightly, and the fat on his face trembled with excitement.

He Chen took the snacks, which seemed to be made of rice noodles. He picked them up and took a bite. They were soft and refreshing, quite sweet, and delicious.

"There is no big move, I just need to discuss some things with Ye Jun, and there is still a little task for you."

Zhou Zhe nodded. Although he didn't have much time to spend with his family this time, it was the happiest year he had ever lived.

"About the server, I think it's time for us to buy ourselves a large independent server. During the New Year, especially after you released your new manga, the traffic starts to surge again, and the browsing speed becomes slower."

"okay!"

Regarding Zhou Zhe's proposal, He Chen nodded and agreed. Since it was set to release regularly, he stayed with his family during the Chinese New Year and didn't pay attention to the website, so he didn't know about the subtle changes.

"By the way, He Chen, the submission system has been opened, and there are already some submissions during the Chinese New Year." Zhuang Bufan interrupted.

Regarding the review of submissions, He Chen left it to him.

"Oh?" He Chen's spirit shook, this was good news.

What does it mean to contribute?

It means that he is no longer the only one drawing comics, more people like comics, more people yearn for comics, and more people see the value of comics!

"How is it?" He Chen asked with concern.

Zhuang Bufan frowned and shook his head: "The painting is really bad, and there is no story."

"Well, it's good if there are submissions. This shows that some people want to draw comics. This is a good sign. Don't discourage the enthusiasm of the authors. As long as there is nothing out of the ordinary, pass it and let the market test it. Only then can the authors improve step by step. "

He had expected this matter a long time ago. Even if he has some older fan groups, he cannot conceal the fact that the average age is relatively low. After all, that is his target positioning.

As for children, maybe they don't even know the basics of drawing, and just rely on a momentary interest to draw what's in their minds, how good can it be?

However, these children are seeds. What He Chen has to do now is to let them keep this interest, so that they can continue to improve. One day, maybe the future master will be born from them!

"clear."

The next day, the four of them came to Tiange. The office area that was scattered last year suddenly became much more lively.

"Mr. Xiaohe, good morning!"

"Mr. Xiaohe, I hope that the stars and the moon finally have you here. What game are you going to play this time?"

When He Chen arrived, he received a very warm welcome.

They inquired about the game one after another, while those who didn't know He Chen asked the seniors around him about He Chen's identity.

After knowing that He Chen is the master who created "Pokemon", he immediately cast extremely eager eyes, and even some people came to ask for autographs,

He smacked his lips, looked at the people who were in a hurry, and sighed in his heart. Some people just hang around all day, and what they like most is not to work and get paid for nothing, but the people here are like a clock that has been wound up—it can’t stop at all. Come down, as if letting them rest is abusing them.

The people around poured tea and served water, and treated He Chen like a guest, until Ye Jun walked over, and then rescued He Chen.

After returning to the office, closing the door, and shutting the employees' expectant eyes away from the door, Ye Jun said to He Chen in a bad mood, "Tch, I've never been treated like this before, these guys!"

"Haha!" He Chen laughed, and several people took their seats one after another.

"Xiaohe, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Didn't you discuss it on the phone before? What's the matter today?" Ye Jun asked strangely, and then ordered Yang Xin to take out a stack of materials and hand them to He Chen.

The information is written about the current strength of Tiange and some plans for this year. These contents have been discussed with He Chen, and now they are sorted out for him to have a look at.

"According to your suggestion, we plan to start recruiting and expanding this year, and establish mobile games, browser games, online games, console games, PC games and other departments..."

As a veteran handheld game company, Tiange has never dabbled in other games except for handheld games.

He Chen's goal is not satisfied with a handheld game company, and "Pokemon" still has countless potentials that have not been tapped, and it would be a waste not to develop it.

The two had communicated years ago. Although Ye Jun felt that creating so many departments would be too big and inappropriate, he was finally persuaded by He Chen.

"Mobile games and web games are the easiest. We can set up a few people in our development department. The mobile game and web game version of "Pokemon" will probably be listed at the end of the month; while online games, console games, PC games, etc. are relatively easy. Trouble, console games and PC games are okay, our development department is strong enough to handle it, it’s nothing more than platform porting. But online games don’t require high game development capabilities, but they have very high requirements for subsequent maintenance and operation. Our personnel There are not enough reserves, and I am recruiting aggressively.”

Ye Jun told He Chen about the recent events. Speaking of which, He Chen is also his boss now.

"Well, I won't intervene in the game department. As long as my requirements are met, you can do whatever you like. For recruiting, you can also target some big game companies to poach people. As long as you think it's worth the price, just ask for it! We There is no shortage of money—the profit of the website is no less than that of your game company!"

Ye Jun smacked his lips. He had also heard a little about the website's profits. He remembered that when he heard He Chen's detailed report for the first time, his jaw almost dislocated.

His grandma's, I worked so hard, got up early and worked late, and only made that little money after half a year. It's good for you kid, draw a cartoon every day, you don't have to do anything, and the money will flow into your bag.

"I'm here this time for another matter."

"What's the matter?" Ye Jun pricked up his ears. Since He Chen came to look for him, it must have something to do with him, but that's all about the game. Everything is going according to plan. What else do you need?

"I need you guys who made cutscenes from the last Pokemon game!"

"You want them? What are you doing?" Ye Jun wondered.

"Set up a new department!" He Chen said.

"...Do you want to become independent and specialize in making game cutscenes? But there is no need to set up a special department."

"Do not!"

He Chen shook his head and said, "I want to set up an animation department to make comics into animations!"

Anime Anime, animation and manga have never been separated.

Zhuang Bufan suddenly made a suggestion: "He Chen, don't Yanjing have some animation companies? Why not let them produce? Or buy them directly?"

There are animation companies in this world, but they are full of strong educational significance, and the production is rough. Most of them are children's stage plays performed in strange clothes, just like the childhood shadow "Teletubbies".

He Chen gave Zhuang Bufan a look: "Can you rest assured that they will make my "Pokemon"?"

Zhuang Bufan thought about it, and before He Chen could say more, he dismissed the idea.

Comics have to be subsidized, where can animation go?

If you don't make money, you won't invest money. If you don't invest money, how can you produce excellent comics?

As for the level of those people, He Chen is also very worried - those who are capable have all gone to play games, movies, and TV, so they will waste their time here?

The game animations produced last time were very good. Although they were made according to He Chen's requirements, they were able to understand what He Chen wanted to express, and they were all very good.

Rather than using a group of uneasy people, it is better to use them, at least everyone knows the basics and is familiar with each other, and the production will be more in line with He Chen's wishes.

"...Well, you are the boss anyway!" Ye Jun compromised, "However, we have to take care of our game cutscenes."

"Sure! Just watch and practice with me, I believe they will be more handy in making animations in the future!"
