"Clover! Stop what you're doing. I have a mission for you — "
Tang En rushed to Clover's workshop excitedly. When he pushed the door open, he saw Clover and a few female elves sitting together and chatting about something. He only heard a few words such as "night raid, black silk, binding, forced impregnation" and so on. He immediately asked curiously, "What are you guys talking about? Why so hardcore? Are you planning to release a new book? "
Clover's expression changed. She glanced at her sisters as if nothing had happened and said, "Yes, I feel that the content of the book has been lacking recently, so we're discussing new content."
Tang En was suddenly filled with emotion. Wholeheartedly thinking for the readers, devoting himself to improving the readers' enjoyment, and constantly pursuing new realms, this was a true master worthy of respect!
"Let's put the book aside for now. I have a new mission for you."
Clover was immediately interested. "What new mission? New design requirements? Or do you have new ideas? "
"None of those."
Tang En explained, "We've recently developed a new product, the Mana Projection Receiver. You know about it, right?"
"Yes, I do. It's a good idea. It can cover a wide range of areas. The audience will accept it very well."
Clover nodded. "I'm still thinking about talking to Marlene and putting the book on it."
Tang En immediately broke out in cold sweat. He quickly waved his hand. "No, please don't! Because the content is too exciting, this kind of thing is destined to only be spread in a small area. It's not good for minors to see it. "
"Oh …"
Clover was a little disappointed. "Then what's the new mission you mentioned?"
"It's a new form of media. It's born out of comics, but it's also beyond comics. It can be played on the Mana Projection Receiver."
Tang En immediately explained the theory behind the animation to San Ye. After listening to it, San Ye was immediately interested.
"Through the gradual changes of the drawings to form continuous images? Can it really be done like that? "
"Of course, because the images that our eyes receive are the same. As long as there are more than twenty-four continuous gradually changing images per second, they will be recognized as moving images."
Tang En briefly explained the principles of animation to San Ye and the others. After listening to him, San Ye immediately took action. She picked up a brush and drew a stack of simple pictures. Then, she stacked them together and flipped through them …
"He didn't move?"
"You're the one who drew it wrong."
Tang En began to point out her mistakes again. "Due to the visual residual effect, every image must be related to the previous one. For example, if you want to hold this hand, you need to first start to extend and curl these fingers, then the joints here …"
After Tang En explained it to her in detail, San Ye immediately understood the principles behind it. She started to write again, and in a few minutes, she had finished a new stack of sketches.
Seeing San Ye's efficient drawing speed, Tang En couldn't help but sigh with emotion. If the artists on Earth could be so efficient, who knew how many anime and manga fans would be so excited?
"It moved! It really moved! "
San Ye and his painters were pleasantly surprised to find that the redrawn drafts actually formed a continuous image when they flipped through them quickly. The images drawn on the paper were actually moving like living creatures!
"You understand the principle, right?"
Tang En said, "Then the task for you is to draw 'Things in a Different World', 'Future Civet', and 'Dragon Ball' from the beginning. Is there a problem?"
"There is a problem."
San Ye raised her hand and said honestly, "There's a lot of content in these comics. According to the current situation where twenty-four original arts are needed per minute (second), just one chapter of the content will require many drawings. It's very difficult to complete the task in a short period of time."
"I'm not asking you to complete it in a short period of time."
Tang En said patiently, "My current plan is to broadcast 'Things in a Different World' on one day, 'Future Civet' on another day, and 'Dragon Ball' on another day. So, you only need to complete one chapter of the animation draft for one of the comics in a day."
San Ye thought about it. This task didn't seem too heavy, so she said, "Then I'm fine with it."
Tang En was a little worried about the effect of the animation. After all, it was San Ye's first time doing this kind of art form, so he said, "Draw the first chapter of 'Things in a Different World' today. I'll read it once, then get some people to come over and form an animation studio. Then, I'll explain to you what to do."
"Is there anything else that needs to be explained?"
"Of course."
Tang En said with a smile, "Animation isn't as simple as drawing the content. Other than the original draft, there's also editing and dubbing after shooting. It's not something you can do alone. This is a brand new industry. If it develops, it can support many people."
San Ye estimated the workload and said, "Okay, then bring the people over after lunch."
Tang En was amazed by the efficiency again. According to the standard of Earth, an episode of animation was about 24 minutes, which was 1,440 seconds and 34560 original pictures. Of course, strictly speaking, because there were a lot of background pictures and still frames in the animation, the actual number of original pictures was definitely less than that. However, the workload was still very heavy, and San Ye only needed a few minutes to finish it … The power of magic was indeed powerful.
After lunch, Tang En went to Jean and asked for a few junior mages. Then, he went to find San Ye. Making an animation didn't have high requirements for the mages' abilities. They only needed to be able to operate the Image Recording Crystal.
As for the voice actress … Tang En decided to choose elves.
On one hand, the elves' voices were indeed very pleasant to listen to, and they were very good at imitating the sounds of various animals. On the other hand, it was because they had a very long lifespan, unlike humans, who often had to retire not long after dubbing due to age.
Dragons certainly had this advantage, but unfortunately, Dragons were too arrogant, and their personalities were not suitable for such delicate work. Therefore, in summary, Tang En still felt that elves were the most suitable.
When Tang En found San Ye again, she had already finished the draft. She even did the colors according to Tang En's request.
Tang En couldn't wait to read the draft first. He hadn't watched an animation for two years, and when he saw it again, he was so moved that he almost burst into tears. Although there were only pictures and no sound, it was enough.
At least, it proved that the industry had begun, and he would soon have an animation to watch.
It was San Ye's first time drawing an original animation, so of course, there were many shortcomings. Especially with her meticulous drawing skills, there were many places where the main and secondary points were not clear, and the content was too rich. So, Tang En turned into an animation master on the spot and pointed out the problems to her. San Ye immediately began to edit it on the spot.
While she was changing the draft, Tang En ran to Izaly and asked her for a few elven bards. Bards often played and sang by themselves. Their voices were very beautiful, and they were good at expressing rich emotions. They were the best choice for voice actors.
When all the staff were in place, Tang En immediately started the shooting.
All the basic conditions were met, and there was nothing to say about the shooting. After the shooting, the bards were assigned roles, and they were asked to act according to the lines.
Although the bards felt that it was silly, they still had to obey the orders of the Queen and the Oracle. Thus, the first generation of voice actors in Prandal was born.
That night, after all the work was over, Tang En invited all the people who had participated in the work to watch the first episode of the animation "Things in a Different World." When they saw the vivid characters appear in the projection, and the familiar voices become the voices of the animated characters, saying the familiar lines, even though San Ye and the others had participated in the production, they were still all stunned.
They couldn't even believe that this was something they had made!
And Tang En? He was moved to tears. He had been in Prandal for two years! He finally had the chance to see the familiar animation again!
In particular, Tang En was deeply intoxicated by San Ye's superb drawing skills. He couldn't help but think that if San Ye's drawing skills were used to make some pornographic animations, would it have a miraculous effect?
This thought flashed through Tang En's mind for a moment before it was quietly hidden away.
After watching the first episode of the animation, Tang En let out a deep breath, and then said on the spot, "Congratulations, everyone! We did it! However, your tasks will be more arduous because the serialization of the animation is a very difficult task! You must complete the task on time every day, rain or shine! Are you confident? "
"Yes."
The group of elves looked at each other. Was this task very arduous? They didn't feel anything at all …
Tang En sighed. This group of elves had never experienced the fear of being dominated by scripts …
He made a decision on the spot. "Since there are no problems, it's decided. From today onwards, you will form the Tang Animation Studio. You will be responsible for the animation of the Tang Magic Projection Radio Tower, and also for the production of some special effects. San Ye will be the person in charge of the animation studio …"
After Tang En made the arrangements and solved this problem, the TV station would have a very stable program. It was foreseeable that this new art form would inevitably attract a large number of fans.
In the future, whether it was advertisements or publicity, the effect would definitely be great!
In addition to animation, there were also movies and TV series …
Tang En wiped the corners of his eyes. These were tears of happiness.
Because this world finally had a hint of a modern society.
