Don't let him do animation

Chen Ji began to carefully organize the information about Yu-Gi-Oh.

He checked the paper word by word. The card information alone took up a considerable amount of his time, because there were more than tens of thousands of Yu-Gi-Oh cards, which was a huge project.

These cards take the most work.

There are tens of thousands of cards, not only of different types such as monster cards, trap cards and magic cards, but also certain relationships between them, just like a giant web with interconnected links.

In comparison, the plot information is much simpler.

"Ah, there is no shortage of information that has not been sorted out."

Every day when I wake up, I see densely packed information in front of me. Every time I work for a long time, I turn my head and take another look, and I always have the illusion that the information is not decreasing.

Fortunately, the time was not too long or too short. After about three months, the information of Yu-Gi-Oh finally became visibly smaller. From the initial content that could fill the entire suitcase, it was reduced to a file bag.

Finally, Chen Ji spent another week to clean up the mess, and all the preparation work for the animation was finally completed.

During this period, Detective Conan was still on the air.

“???” Many animation fans were confused.

This Conan has lived a really long time.

The broadcast is endless.

"What's going on? Has Linlang Studio forgotten the original intention of making animations?"

"In the future, we will definitely focus on Detective Conan and Ultraman."

"Conan, it's Conan again. Now I feel like vomiting when I see Conan."

“Why is there no new animation yet?”

While the online cursing was going on, Chen Ji also sorted out the information and quickly convened a meeting to plan a new animation project.

Chen Ji sat in a prominent position in the conference room and faced everyone: "We are about to prepare our new animation. Now let me talk about the content of the new animation, which is mainly based on cards."

"Is it a theme similar to Sakura?" Xiaolu first thought of the cute queen Sakura.

Chen Ji explained: "They are different. Although they are both cards, the main focus of our new animation cards is PVP competition."

Xiaolu didn't understand what it meant, but that didn't stop her from figuring out that the cards were about PVP.

In this case, what is the difference between this and playing Landlord?
Are we going to let our audience watch the protagonist and the antagonist sit together and play poker?

That would be too boring. Sakura, which is also a card game, has achieved great success and can continue with the same theme.

Or it’s not impossible to make a Sakura 2.

Chen Ji saw that the other party was worried and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"

Xiaolu expressed his thoughts: "I don't understand what's interesting about PVP. Isn't it just a simple game of poker?"

Chen Ji smiled mysteriously and asked, "Is the Pokémon Trainer League Competition interesting?"

Xiaolu was puzzled: "Of course, what does excitement and passion have to do with cards?"

Of course it does.

Strictly speaking, the PVP of Yu-Gi-Oh is the same as the Pokémon League Tournament, and even has more rules.

In a designated environment, card battles are conducted, and these cards can be materialized and summoned.

Chen Ji explained: "This is the charm of our new animation, Yu-Gi-Oh!"

The deer nodded. If the card was materialized, it would be somewhat interesting.

She didn't delve into the card issue any further. Thinking of the name of the anime just mentioned, she seemed to understand but didn't quite understand. She looked confused: "What's the name of our anime? Yu-Gi-Oh?"

This name feels even lower quality than Super Warriors.

What is the meaning of the name Yu-Gi-Oh?

Chen Ji nodded: "That's right, because the protagonist is called Yugi!"

Everyone in the conference room looked at Chen Ji with strange expressions. Such an incredible name, is it sure that only a carbon-based creature could come up with it?

Chen Ji waved his hand: "Okay, okay, you can print out the information and read it yourself later. If there is anything you don't understand, come and ask me."

Everyone was busy asking: "Where is the information?"

"The suitcase in the corner contains the information." Chen Ji pointed to the black canvas suitcase in the corner.

"!!!" Everyone's eyes changed from confusion to shock.

Those are all information!

In the past, animation materials could only be put into a file bag, and more would be put into a briefcase. This was the first time they had seen such materials put into a suitcase.

An unprecedented pressure suddenly came upon me.

Chen Ji explained: "Don't be nervous, it's all information, but most of it is about the cards, so you don't need to understand too much."

After hearing this, everyone at the scene gradually felt more relaxed.

If it was mostly card information, it wouldn't be too difficult and would just look intimidating.

The little deer asked: "There are so many, how many cards should there be?"

Chen Ji answered truthfully: "Nearly 10,000."

"Hehe." Xiaolu couldn't stop laughing, but he was actually thinking in his heart that he was really crazy about money!
There are nearly ten thousand cards, so just round them up to make ten thousand cards.

Even if you calculate the retail price of each card at 50 cents, it would cost 5,000 yuan to collect all these 10,000 cards, assuming you don't buy duplicates!
How many people can get together?
Young people who like animation will buy animation-related peripherals, but they are not stupid!
"Boss, will so many cards affect offline sales? I mean, in reality, there will definitely be people who play according to the rules of Yu-Gi-Oh. So you know what I mean."

Liu Di expressed her concerns that in reality it might be very difficult if someone wanted to fight.

Chen Ji briefly described the battle rules: "You don't have to gather all the cards. The card battle rules of Yu-Gi-Oh allow you to only bring 40-60 cards to fight as a group."

Theoretically speaking, once Yu-Gi-Oh starts airing, toy cards will follow suit and viewers only need to spend 30 yuan to buy the cards. Even if they are duplicates, they can find someone to exchange them with, and then find opponents and friends to compete in activities.

30 yuan is much cheaper than toys from other works.

"If that's the case, I can understand it." Liu Di thought thoughtfully. Setting an upper limit for the deck can solve the problem of too many cards.

"That's it. The people who originally produced Conan will not be involved in the new animation."

Chen Ji waved his hand, the meeting ended, and he left early, leaving the chores to Xiaolu.

After Chen Ji left, the animation team in the conference room still felt a bit overwhelmed when looking at the suitcases in the corner.

Someone asked, "How long will it take to print this so that everyone can get a copy?"

Some people also shouted: "Yu-Gi-Oh has nothing to do with our Conan group."

After that, Linlang Studio's new project was implemented and it started printing the information of Yu-Gi-Oh!.

As the information about Yu-Gi-Oh was printed out, people had a deeper understanding of the animation. Strictly speaking, this animation does not have too many settings and profound meanings.

The game of two city personalities tells the story of playing card battles with opponents everywhere.

Chen Ji also posted on Weibo during this period.

[A new animation of Yu-Gi-Oh! is being produced urgently. This time it is a card animation and is expected to be broadcast at the end of next month. This time we will bring a new offline entertainment method to the audience through animation. Nearly 10,000 cards are waiting for you to fight! ]

The message is sent and pushed on Weibo.

Many fans heard the notification tone on their phones, opened their phones in a daze, and saw shocking content.

Tens of thousands of cards!
"???"

"Oh my god, even if it's 50 cents, it's going to cost 5,000 yuan. I can't afford it."

"As expected of Linlang, are you planning to go the high-end route?"

"Damn, does Chen Ji think we are all rich people?"

"Could it be that Linlang Studio is short of money?"

"."

People were complaining like crazy.

Sorry, they are not rich and can’t afford to play this game with nearly ten thousand cards!
However, people were only dissatisfied with the so-called nearly 10,000 cards, but did not worry about the quality of the animation, after all, it was the work of Linlang Studio. On the same day, Chen Ji received the news from fans and posted a Weibo to clarify the matter.

[The battle rules only require a few dozen cards. The large number of cards is just for players to choose to improve playability.]

Once the news came out, the fans' thoughts of complaining were finally extinguished.

Few people can afford to buy a set of cards with 5,000 yuan, and a battle game that can be played with just a few dozen cards is obviously the most ideal self-consumption state.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

Linlang Studio's new animation is about to be aired, and the TV station has taken the lead in broadcasting the trailer.

Trailer for Yu-Gi-Oh!

This is an animation about card battles, and the battle effects are maximized. The cards can even be materialized, which is really cool.

The wonderful scene at that moment is even more exciting.

Many people are looking forward to it, wishing they could play it in real life.

"The protagonist is called Yugi, and the anime is called Yu-Gi-Oh! What a divine name."

“This card looks very interesting.”

"I can't wait to see Yu-Gi-Oh learn the rules of battle."

"The boys in our class are already preparing for Yu-Gi-Oh."

"."

The release of the trailer proves that the animation is not far from being aired.

The popularity of Yu-Gi-Oh is unprecedented.

Finally, another week passed, and as people anticipated, the long-awaited Yu-Gi-Oh! was finally aired.

Yu-Gi-Oh is on air.

A narration first appeared on the screen.

[The history of the game can be traced back to ancient AJ five years ago. The game played in ancient times was a kind of magic-like ritual that predicted the future of humans and kings and determined their fate.]

[Those are called the Dark Game. Now a young man has appeared who has solved the Millennium Puzzle and inherited the Dark Game.]

[The boy with both light and darkness in his heart, people call him Yu-Gi-Oh!]

The protagonist's name is Yugi.

He is a very cute boy, especially with his angular hairstyle which is very memorable. He has a dual personality, while Anyou appears to be much colder.

Skipping the opening animation, the scene shows that during the break, Yugi is holding cards and fighting against his yellow-haired classmate.

Suddenly, a classmate rushed out, grabbed Huangmao's neck and asked, "What are you playing, Acheng?"

A Cheng, who was called Huang Mao, said disdainfully: "You don't know this either, it's a duel monster."

The name of the card game is Battle Monsters!

Many animation fans in front of the screen had their eyes light up and wrote down the name. After all, this was the way they would play offline in the future.

Classmate (confused): "What's that?"

Ah Cheng: "It's so noisy, just watch quietly."

Suddenly, a cute woman with short brown hair appeared and explained: "This game is about using the monsters or magic in your hand to fight in the right way."

Animation enthusiasts in front of the screen took note of the game concept.

And Acheng and Yugi continued to compete and fight.

Ah Cheng played a card and slammed it hard on the table.

The brown-haired girl once again introduced the game to the students who knew nothing before: "The first side to reduce the opponent's health to 0 wins."

Ah Cheng: "Game, it's your turn now."

Yugi nodded and played a card. Ah Cheng was devastated when he saw it. "No one can play such a powerful card so casually. I lost immediately."

Yugi: "Acheng, you are too weak."

Facing his classmates' doubts, Yugi smiled and explained: "It's not that I'm strong, it's that my grandfather runs a card shop and likes to collect cards, so I can get strong cards."

Ah Cheng: "Okay, let's go to Youxi's house after school."

Yugi: "Well, then I'll definitely get to see the super rare cards that my grandfather would be so proud of."

A thoughtful classmate suddenly closed his book, thinking that although the super rare card was unlikely, it was possible!

The audience in front of the screen immediately felt the full malice from Linlang Studio from just a few words.

And super rare cards?

"Damn, damn, here it comes again."

"It's still a pay-to-win game after all."

"I'm confused. Cards are divided into different levels?"

"Really? If Linlang Building collapses someday, I won't help it. I will help Chen Ji instead. No one else can cheat people so openly."

"This is better than fraud?"

"."

I heard there are super rare cards too.

It is not difficult for the audience to guess that the number of such cards must be very scarce, and if you want to buy one, it may cost a lot of money.

Squeezing the already tight wallets of the audience, isn't this the true nature of Linlang Studio!
And in the animation.

Time at school always goes by quickly.

In the blink of an eye, school was over and Youxi came to visit his home alone with his classmates.

Compared to these classmates, the game is almost no different from the dwarves.

Yugi took his classmates back home and was the first to greet his grandfather: "Grandpa, I'm back."

The card shop they were in was filled with all kinds of cards.

And Yugi's grandfather is also very similar to him, except that his hair and beard are all white.

Grandpa: "I came back with my classmates today."

Yugi: "By the way, Grandpa, can you show us your awesome card?"

Grandpa: "Are you talking about that card?"

The grandfather didn't want to take out the treasure, but he couldn't resist the young people's requests. Seeing the eager faces, a smile finally appeared on his face. He had no choice but to make an exception.

That is his treasure.

It was packed in a leather suitcase and taken out carefully.

Grandpa held up the card and introduced it: "This card is called Blue-Eyes White Dragon. It's a super rare card!"

Seeing the exaggerated numbers above, Acheng's eyes almost popped out and he kept exclaiming in amazement.

Grandpa: "This is one of only four cards in the world. It is priceless."

Ah Cheng (laughing innocently): "Grandpa, let me take a closer look at the card."

Grandpa (alert): "This card is not for sale."

Ah Cheng (awkwardly): "I can't afford this kind of card. Find me a pack with powerful monster cards."

Suddenly, the door of the shop was opened.

Everyone looked over in confusion. It was their classmate Haiba, who was also the eldest son of the Haiba Group. (End of this chapter)
