The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 186 I hate "nepotism"

He Xi, the leader of the Dunhuang screenwriter team, felt that he had really endured too much.

Since Wang Wei hung the carrot "Superhero Movie Universe" in front of him, he has not had a moment of relaxation.

After studying for more than half a year, reading countless super-English comics, super-English animations and super-English movies, even dreaming of super-heroes fighting, he felt more and more that the "super-English universe" had great potential—

With different superheroes as the protagonists, each film is paved with easter eggs, each with independent and connected to each other, continuously extending the vitality of the movie universe.

When the prototype of the Super Hero Universe was set up in his mind, the main copyright target was also seen - it was Zhuguang Zhuang Comics Company, one of the three major anime companies in China.

Among the other two companies, Ogilvy Comics launched a crazy external merger and acquisition in order to go public, and then took on huge debts; in order to repay the debt, it has long sold out the copyrights of its many classic IPs, and most of them have fallen into the hands of the five major players.

Although the five majors were unable to fully develop their potential, He Xi did not feel the opportunity to seize food from the five majors.

As for Longyou Comics, it has been hooking up with Tang Yu Media, which can basically be regarded as Tang Yu's dish.

Only the light-chasing comics are left.

However, the path of film and television he envisioned did not start with movies.

Because he was not only a businessman, but also an avid animation enthusiast. Even if Dunhuang bids higher, he still puts it on "making good works" - Dunhuang at that time had no achievements in animation and had just recovered his vitality in movies.

I was keen and naturally realized that I had natural serialized adaptation materials in my hands.

The question is - not to mention the gap in overall strength, just look at animation production, playback channels and peripheral development, where can Dunhuang compare with Shanglianya Entertainment?

He Xi was speechless.

Because, He Xi just showed a little bit of acquisition, Tao Kang immediately "rejected" it.

It is difficult to generate too much peripheral income by relying solely on the comics themselves, after all, the communication power is limited.

In fact, in the comics world, characters have already formed groups to fight monsters, but no one wants to bring them to the big screen.

This is the best promotion plan, but it is also the most costly and time-consuming plan - poor people should not think too much.

The construction of the "Super Hero Universe" revealed a glimmer of hope. He Xi was of course happy, but also a little depressed-

The best film and television production is of course to produce high-quality live-action movies, as He Xi said.

So is it masochist?

"He recommended me to join the Light Chasing Comics later. Now, I have become the leader of Light Chasing." Tao Kang continued.

Zhuguang Comics has not had a good time in recent years. With the rise of novel entertainment methods such as electronic games and comics are no longer popular with young people, the company once mortgaged its IP copyright to banks for the sake of funds.

Tao Kang finally looked at Dunhuang in front of his eyes.

"When I first entered the industry, I was internship under him, but I was scolded so badly that I thought I was not suitable for the animation industry." Tao Kang showed a reminiscence expression.

This is naturally seen by comic companies.

In this case, adapting it into an animation seems to be the only option.

Gather the comic characters under its guitar, connect them and unify them in a large enough structure, and perform film and television to create the "Legend of the Light Chasing Group of Heroes"!

But thinking about it, it doesn't seem too surprising.

Naturally, after only once, the two people with similar ideas appreciate each other - only the ideas.

Only by making its film and television can it expand its communication power and open up surrounding markets.

Because compared to exquisite animated movies, the cost of general TV animation is much lower than that of movies or even ordinary TV series.

After all, superhero movies require a lot of visual effects, and the production cost is really too high. It is better to try the wrong thing with TV animation first.

In short, first adapt it into a long animation, and when it is appropriate, then adapt it into a live-action movie - this is the path of film and television transformation of the "Cross Universe" planned by Tao Kang.

If I had known this, I wouldn't have had to waste so much saliva if I had thrown this movie in front of him.

In fact, he also felt that compared to his original "original comics-movie" development process, the other party's "original comics-TV animation-live movie" triple jump structure may be better.

Well, then you changed your mind because of his kindness?

Tao Kang continued: "Teacher Ma is a person who strives for excellence. Since he has chosen to join you, it means that your company's strength is much stronger than I expected. If that's the case, why don't I consider joining you?"

He Xi's mouth twitched: "..."

"Teacher Ma?"

After all, with the first work as the foundation, the safety factor of the sequel is much greater than that of a purely original work.

Do you think Tao Kang is turning around now?

The second is animation.

Tao Kang shook his head: "What really changed my mind was Teacher Ma who joined you!"

Until Toy Story comes!

No one knows for the time being how far-reaching impact the birth of this 3D animated movie will have on live-action movies.

Oh no, it should be "weak rejection"-

Unlike He Xi who is dedicated to the box office of the movie, Tao Kang cares more about peripheral development.

After visiting Dunhuang on behalf of Dunhuang, He Xi was surprised or happy because the other party actually had similar ideas—

However, what surprised He Xi was that after Tao Kang, the new general manager of Zhuiguang Comics, took office, he tried to reclaim most of the core copyrights one after another.

In the film and television industry, for the sake of money, screenwriters, directors and producers have been thinking about serializing film and television almost all year round.

No, he still wants to "lick" Lianya Entertainment.

But as Lianya Entertainment began to transform, internal personnel turmoil and there was no time to pay attention to Zhuguang Comics.

However, when it comes to animation, Lianya Entertainment is like a mountain, blocking between Dunhuang and Zhuguang Comics.

There is no way, the cost of adapting a movie is too high. Not to mention the difficult life of chasing the light, even in its heyday, adapting it into a movie is not easy.

To put it bluntly, even if you want to sell yourself, Zhu Guang only wants to sell yourself once, and Dunhuang's thighs are obviously not thick enough.

Tao Kang even turned around and wanted to dig him over, which made He Xi laugh and cry.

What makes people even more helpless is that in the face of Zhuguang Zhuang Comics, which actively seeks cooperation, Lianya Entertainment said that it will not be available!!!

Lianya Entertainment is adapted from myths and legends, and even the TV animation of historical stories cannot be developed. How can I have the intention to develop superhero animations with a relatively average influence in light chasing?

Tao Kang, the general manager of Zhuguang Comics, is undoubtedly keen.

Well, he didn't know that his animation production level was so high, so he created a new era when he took action.

"Just because of "Toy Story", you changed your mind?"

——This animation is not an animated movie, but a TV animation.

This was the first time he revealed his tone to join in front of He Xi.

But He Xi just wants to hehe—

I thought it was my perseverance and my unprecedented philosophy, and the least it was the mutual appreciation between us that made you "return";

As a result, you told me that it was all because of... "nepotism"!??

Hateful! Can it still make people feel a little accomplished?

...

Damn! Is it updated again tonight???
