Boss Jia said 20 minutes, but in reality, 25 minutes had passed. Boss Jia's time was only up when the ending song started playing. Nobody reminded Jia Yapeng that his time was up. Everyone was immersed in the wonderful moment brought by the animation.
Regardless of whether it was children, adults, or some media reporters, when they saw the Pokemon appear in the animation, all of them were instantly conquered by these cute little Pokemon.
Compared to the first Pokemon animation in history, the animation quality of Jia Yapeng's version of Pokemon was far better than the previous one.
In order to create the best Pokemon, Boss Jia recruited 600 professional animators from art schools all over the country and made them full-time animators. As a result, there were more than 1,000 professional animators in Dynasty Animation.
Out of the 1,000 professional animators, 700 of them were responsible for the animation of Pokemon. The rest of the animators, such as Yu-Gi-Oh, Four-wheel Brothers, and the Legend of the Three Kingdoms, were only responsible for a total of 300 animators.
From this, it could be seen that Boss Jia had put a lot of effort into the animation of Pokemon.
Since October 1992 until now, Dynasty Animation had spent more than 80 million yuan on the animation of Pokemon. It was a one-of-a-kind cost.
It was also proven that as long as one was willing to spend money, nothing could go wrong.
The animation quality of Pokemon was unimaginably exquisite. In an era where the highest animation quality was 360P, the animation quality was 720P.
Moreover, each of the elves seemed to have turned on high-definition mode. Their every movement was full of spirituality, and even their expressions were extremely well drawn. If it weren't for the fact that they only existed on the screen, perhaps someone would have already rushed in and carried them away.
As for other aspects, be it the animation background, battle scenes, or the overall music and script, everything had reached the pinnacle of animation in this era.
In terms of the standard of animation, it was not as exquisite and beautiful as the Pokemon animation series, which had shamed the entire animation industry of Fusang to the point that it was difficult to be a human.
Therefore, after the 25-minute first episode of Pokemon Red and Green was broadcast, the people at the scene refused to leave. They all looked at the screen eagerly, waiting for the second episode to appear.
However, what made them feel helpless was that as the ending song ended, the lights in the hall lit up again, which obviously meant that the animation screening had ended.
"We want to watch the second episode!"
"I want to watch the second episode!" Little Zuckerberg took the lead and rushed out on the stage, waving his fist as he shouted loudly.
At this time, the others also reacted. They all turned into monsters and shouted. Especially the players, they were all young people, and they basically did not have much work. It could be said that they had no taboos. They shouted the loudest, and their voices almost overturned the entire hall.
The media reporters originally respected their status and would not do such a rude thing. However, when many young people in the audience shouted loudly, they thought of the plot that had happened before. They thought of Pikachu, whose life and death were unknown, and the magical firebird that appeared at the end. Everything was like this, and they could not wait to see the plot of the second episode.
Therefore, these reporters, who were supposed to be reserved and polite, were also influenced by the surrounding atmosphere. They raised their fists and waved them with everyone else.
It couldn't be helped. The first episode was really too exciting.
Countless experiences in later generations told everyone that generally speaking, animation would follow the rule of three episodes. That was to say, the broadcast volume and dissemination effect of an animation would basically be determined in the first three episodes. Therefore, the first three episodes needed to be polished repeatedly to make it as good and high-quality as possible.
Boss Jia did it this way.
The most expensive part was at the beginning of the first episode, the battle of the Pokémon Trainer Competition.
In the original "Pokémon No Print", the Pokémon Trainer Competition only lasted for a short 30 seconds. There were a total of three different Pokémon that appeared. They were Nidolino, Genggui, and the Big Rock Snake.
This battle was considered to be an early display of the Pokémon Trainer Competition to the audience. It was also an important step to arouse the audience's curiosity.
However, the animation was rather perfunctory. Whether it was the venue, the audience, or the more important battle between the Pokémon, it was basically just a flash, a bump, and then it was over.
However, under Boss Jia's personal command, this battle became the most important part of the first episode. The battle time was extended from the original 30 seconds to 2 minutes and 50 seconds, showing off the exciting battle in all aspects.
First of all, the huge arena was drawn according to the Bird's Nest … Yes, that's right, Boss Jia directly drew the Bird's Nest in the future and used it as the arena for the Pokémon Trainer Competition. The entire arena was drawn perfectly, from the huge LED TV wall behind it to the small railings.
The most important thing was that the audience sitting in the audience seats were all drawn very carefully. For example, in the 5 seconds of animation showing the audience seats, the artists of Dynasty drew a total of 126 clearly distinguishable faces of the audience. This was a record that had never been achieved in any other animation.
And this kind of animation was naturally extremely shocking to the audience in front of the TV. They had never seen such a magnificent and magnificent arena that could be so realistically displayed in an animation.
The most important part of the next episode was the battle between the Pokémon.
In the original version, there were only two battles that involved three Pokémon.
But this time, Boss Jia expanded the battle scene to six scenes. A total of eight Pokémon appeared. In addition to Nidolino, Genggui, and Big Rock Snake, there was also Snorlax, Leibu, Dragonite, Chenglong, and the last one, Super Dream.
These eight Pokémon presented an extremely exciting battle scene from weak to strong. Jia Yapeng specially invited a professional action director to design the animation for the action scenes. The storyboard was also directly handled by Dai Tielang.
As for the skill release, all the skill effects were hand-drawn. It wasn't a cloud of ash or smoke, nor was it a yellow lightning bolt. Instead, it was drawn through multiple layers. In the end, computer special effects were directly used to create the skill effects to the extreme.
Not only was the audience dumbfounded, even Yamauchi was dumbfounded.
Next was a relatively long period of animation. Jia Yapeng focused on each of the Pokémon.
Boss Jia understood very well that the people in the "Pokemon" anime were actually not important. As long as the three main characters, Miss Jun Sha, and Miss Joey were drawn well, it would be fine. The key to the anime was actually the Pokémon.
Therefore, Boss Jia created a system of Pokémon for the first time. A total of more than 400 artists were divided into dozens of different teams. Each team was responsible for drawing and creating a Pokémon.
This small team didn't have to do anything else. They only needed to draw the Pokémon they were responsible for.
This way, with a dedicated person in charge, each team could thoroughly research the Pokémon they were responsible for. From there, they could draw the most human-like and emotional Pokémon.
Of course, according to the appearance of the Pokémon, the number of people in each team was different.
Among the teams, the one with the most people was naturally the team responsible for Pikachu. The whole team had a total of 39 artists. They ate and lived together every day, and they also drew together. Every day, they would have meetings to exchange their thoughts on drawing Pikachu. They would also share their Pikachu's expressions and emotions. In any case, Pikachu would jump out of their heads if they closed their eyes.
Which Little Elf is in charge of the second largest group? Everyone can guess!
