The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 83 Continue to expand the army (two in one, please read it)

In the end, Wang Wei rejected Jiang Lei's request and went to meet his Internet entrepreneur friends who were waiting for help.

It's not that I can't believe his vision.

After all, the circle that Jiang Lei is familiar with can be said to be the circle of domestic Internet trendsetters. It is not surprising that future Internet giants will be born in it.

The reason why Wang Wei refused was that he had no money now.

"Genius Gunslinger" hasn't been released yet, so naturally he won't get his personal share.

The fact that Dunhuang raised a huge amount of money does not mean that he has money in his personal account. If not necessary, he would not be able to invest in the Internet business from Dunhuang, which is developing at a high speed and also requires a large amount of funds.

Secondly, there is no benefit in being too greedy.

As long as Weibo technology grows as he expected, he won't even be able to raise a gold-swallowing beast. At this time, ten birds in the forest are worse than one in the hand.

After returning to Dunhuang from Weibo Technology, Wang Wei, who knew the cards in his hand, summoned Dunhuang Pictures' general manager Wang Chuanqi, production manager Xu Daoxing and art director Zhou Lin and other senior executives.

But every genre has a period of prosperity and decline, and martial arts dramas are no exception.

So the two of them quickly changed their faces: "Then you must be able to do it, we have no objection."

The overall easing of the Cold War, the acceleration of globalization, the advent of the Internet era, and even the beginning of educational reform... all indicate that this is an era of "reordering."

In the current time and space, before the 1970s, martial arts dramas were once very popular and became one of the representatives of Chinese culture to the world.

Of course, the prerequisite is a good script.

The best periods of the year, such as summer, National Day holidays, Spring Festival, etc., will basically be divided up by the five major companies early on.

Lao Wang and others cannot see this far, but they can also see that in the entertainment market, the influence of TV series is gradually increasing.

Since it wasn't filmed by Wang Wei, they don't think that a small-to-medium-cost production can be competitive with the top five.

This also means that if those martial arts classics from different time and space miss this era, they will miss the best era.

"It's a schedule increase again? Doesn't it mean that we need to do post-production again?"

The only problem now is——

Since he was still a weakling, he had to be more flexible, so Wang Wei quickly decided: "Let's do this, we will move "Savage Girl" to the National Day holiday."

Lao Wang said: "The two films we produced and released in succession were all hits, especially "The Genius", which was able to make a breakthrough in the summer season. The theaters are willing to invest enough in the film you are the producer of.

In terms of resources, the preliminary premiere schedule is only slightly lower than that of "The Talented Gunslinger."

Wang Wei had another point to consider——

While thinking about it, Lao Xu opened the script and read it.

This is the undoubted classic "Legend of the Condor Heroes"!

Xu Daoxing doesn't have any objections to temporarily changing his career to a TV drama producer.

"Ahem..." Wang Wei, who had come back to his senses, had to interrupt their investment.

As for "Charlotte", it will basically be released during the Spring Festival as originally planned, so let's not mention it for now.

Once I saw it, I was hooked.

"In this way, there will be only one major A-list production released during this year's National Day holiday. For "My Sassy Girl," it is considered a very good schedule."

Xu Daoxing and Zhou Lin also knew that Dunhuang had been rejected by the classification committee again, and they both felt suffocated.

Wang Wei raised his eyebrows after hearing this.

From the monster falling from the sky in "Holiday in Peking" to the director and media in "The Genius", "movies reflect reality" is not so much about the quality of the movie as it is about successful publicity.

Lao Zhou and Lao Xu thought, yes, they are not editors, and they did not participate much in the filming of "My Sassy Girl". What do they have to do with the post-production?

Damn it, mainly the memories of the editing of "The Genius Gunman" were too horrific and left them with tons of psychological shadow!

Lao Wang looked at Xu Daoxing: "The department framework has been set up. Now Lao Xu is temporarily serving as the manager of the TV series production department. Lao Xu, do you have any objections here?"

"I bet the theme of Dunhuang this year is to raise files!" Wang Wei first laughed at himself.

Lao Zhou and Lao Xu both changed their expressions at the same time.

Wang Wei was not surprised.

However, as long as Lao Wang's Internet marketing conversion rate can reach one percent, or even one thousandth, it will be a great breakthrough.

In this process, TV drama production ability is indispensable, so it is better to make up lessons early than to make up lessons late.

[Traceability Halo (one-time use) - Wearing it can target a certain target and trace all relevant memories of the host. 】

"In this case, there is no problem in releasing it in November as originally planned. But Lao Wang now has a new plan."

Xu Daoxing is no stranger to this.

However, starting from the late 1970s, martial arts dramas seemed to have entered a period of decline and lost their glory.

As long as he continues to study, he believes that this will soon become Dunhuang's core competitiveness.

Zhou Lin also asserted: "As long as the quality of the filming is not too bad, this drama will be a hit!"

Eating other people's melons is happiness. Lao Wang continued to smile and said: "Lianya Entertainment is not so unlucky, but the director of the blockbuster they originally planned to release is Duan Yi..."

In other words, only in a period of great social change, when there is rough freshness, vitality, and the freedom of heroes regardless of their origins, will the public believe in martial arts and call for martial arts.

Everyone else nodded.

"This year's National Day schedule has already included several major first-line productions from Tangyu Media, Pearl Pictures, and Lienya Entertainment. It can be said that it is very crowded. There is no need for "My Sassy Girl" to compete with these films.

A bad fight."

Wang Wei agreed, and he was already prepared.

However, if a TV series is well shot, it can gain greater profitability and influence than a commercial blockbuster, and it will also be more lasting.

In fact, many second- and third-tier producers in the industry often work in the two fields of TV series and movies.

Although in the chain of contempt within the industry, TV series are always ranked below movies.

Has this kind of bad luck finally happened to the Big Five?

The audience likes to watch these things because they believe them; at least, they respect them. But what if one day, the whole society starts to doubt these things?

When a promise worth a small amount of money, a sense of righteousness, and helping those in need become the object of ridicule in the contemporary world of pragmatism and utilitarianism, "adult fairy tales" naturally turn into "adult lies."

In view of the goal of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the novels and classic drama versions that Wang Wei had read came to mind clearly as if they were copied.

Lao Wang nodded: "There is no doubt that Lianya Entertainment was also forced to postpone."

"The drama version of "The Gunslinger" can only be considered a miniseries. Although with the popularity of the movie, it will definitely not be sold, but as a successful start for the TV production department, it is a bit stingy..."

Then we move on to the next topic——

"My Sassy Girl" doesn't dare to hope for another hit success. If it wants to continue this kind of marketing success, it will have to put more effort into it.

Interestingly, at the end of the 1980s, martial arts dramas made a comeback and once again became a hot spot in the film and television market.

No way, he can leave most of the impression on a movie, but a long TV series, or even a voluminous original novel... he really doesn't have a "super brain"!

Of course, the system buffs are as useful as ever.

For this purpose, he even used the only memory buff——

"What Lao Xu said is correct, so the real success of the TV production department is this -"

Oh?

Wang Chuanqi nodded lightly: "Originally, we wanted to find a less competitive schedule for "My Sassy Girl," so we chose November so that we could have more time for promotion..."

Because he did not have a TV station under his banner, and was suppressed overtly and covertly by the five major powers, the old man could only focus on the film business, resulting in Dunhuang's TV series production department remaining on paper.

As a unique theme in the Chinese-speaking cultural circle, it goes without saying that martial arts is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the country.

The current National Day in China is also on October 1st.

Seeing that the screenwriter was anonymous, Xu Daoxing felt a little strange.

With the drama version of "The Genius", the establishment of a TV series production department was once again put on Wang Wei's agenda.

According to the Matthew Effect of the strong always being strong, it is difficult to wait for the top five companies of China Entertainment to give up their monopoly.

"You're right." Lao Wang glanced at his notebook and said confidently: "But I carefully checked the screening schedule for the month before and after the National Day, and the films that may be rescheduled have no subject matter with us.

conflict."

——Although his name contains "Yi", this guy is the famous "King of Bounced Tickets" in the industry!

"So, he bounced the ticket again?"

Combining the development history of martial arts dramas in another time and space, Wang Wei had some insights - cultural popularity has always been a symptom of changes in the background of the times!

What is martial arts?

It is a pure heart-like passion, a simple way of hoeing the strong and supporting the weak, and a belief in doing justice for heaven - in short, it is an "adult fairy tale".

Isn’t this the current martial arts craze?

Lao Wang achieved this level of skill, and everyone was impressed.

As soon as they heard that the director was Duan Yi, everyone understood.

Then, Wang Wei discovered that having too clear a memory may not be a good thing!

——This is really a transfer! He doesn’t even have the interest in “remake creation” anymore!

He placed a thick stack of TV drama scripts in front of Xu Daoxing.

If other companies don't want to compete with the Big Five's big commercial productions, they can only keep a close eye on the Big Five's schedules to find a suitable premiere time.

Facing the dissatisfied looks of the three being disturbed, Wang Wei spread his hands: "Is it okay?"

——This memory buff must be used with caution in the future.

Lao Wang also said with great interest: "The publicity and development department has studied the Internet marketing you proposed and gained some insights."

"Besides, even if you need liver, Director Zhuang and I will be the main ones. What the hell are you two worrying about?"

Now that Dunhuang has sufficient funds and ammunition, everyone agreed to make up for this shortcoming.

Xu Daoxing couldn't help but slap the table: "That's great, this is the good start I want!"

"Oh, by the way, the person who broke the news is the paparazzi Zhuo Qun."

At this moment, the Dunhuang crowd's favorable impression of Zhuo Papazi increased dramatically.

Wang Chuanqi finally smiled: "Until I received the latest news - Tang Yu Media's blockbuster originally scheduled to be released on National Day, the male lead was revealed to have been engaging in prostitution for a long time, and the crew was forced to change people, so it had to be postponed."

Everyone immediately looked at Wang Chuanqi.

"How is the preparation status of the TV series production department?"

"Isn't it the boss's own script? Also, the title of the drama is too vulgar."

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes? Martial arts drama?"

Zhou Lin directly asked: "But don't other companies also take notice? There will definitely be more movies that will be adjusted and added to the schedule."

Wang Wei presided over the meeting and first reported the progress of the two crews currently filming——

"Of course, the competition will definitely be fiercer than the November schedule. But considering the gap in the market, I think it is more cost-effective to raise the schedule."

However, technological changes may turn the invincible giants of the past into paper figures that can be knocked down by a finger in the blink of an eye.

When can this be achieved - I will confidently decide on a schedule, and if you have the ability, come and touch me - then Dunhuang will be truly powerful.

Lao Wang has already begun to think about how to dig gold mines: "Not only TV series, but also novels can be published and linked to publicity, which will definitely become more popular..."

"They have specifically studied the gathering of movie fans on the Internet and plan to select a few specific websites or communities for promotion."

Wang Wei is sure that when this era stabilizes, the martial arts craze will cool down as quickly as it did in another time and space.

Wang Wei twitched his lips and said angrily: "The post-production of this movie is relatively less troublesome, and it lasts nearly two months, which is much more time than "The Genius Gunman"."

Wang Wei nodded with satisfaction and asked: "Has the theme of the promotion been determined?"

By keeping a close eye on it, Lao Wang discovered an opportunity.

In fact, Netflix, the film and television company that rose based on the Internet in another time and space, has a little bit of this flavor.

"Although "My Sassy Girl" started filming slightly later than "Charlotte," the filming schedule has actually caught up with the latter and will be completed next week at the latest."

Wang Wei rarely asks about the publicity and distribution of a certain movie, but just because he doesn't ask about it doesn't mean he doesn't need to know anything about it.

Yes, Dunhuang is finally getting involved in the production of TV series!

This is also a shortcoming of Dunhuang.

The other three people, who knew nothing, took turns reading the script and were all fascinated.

According to official data, the number of domestic Internet users exceeded 50 million for the first time this year. With the current popularity of the Internet, it is really too much to say that online viral marketing can be used on a large scale.

From this point, it also shows that Dunhuang’s publishing business is far from being able to compete with the Big Five.

Wang Wei ignored these two guys and asked Lao Wang: "How is the communication with the theater chain?"

Well, even the remake of Waigua split jujube scanned at double speed is equally clear.

"The biggest feature of this film, and also the biggest controversy, is 'women beating men', and this is also the biggest marketing gimmick. Since we have created a 'sassy girlfriend' character that was rarely seen in previous films, we will try to make it

Savage becomes a beautiful word..."

Well, a classic is a classic, and this is a rare film and television project that they have no objections to.

"Clap, shoot, shoot, hurry up, we can't wait to put it on the screen!"

In this way, the first battle of Dunhuang's "army expansion" was officially launched under the continuous urging of three die-hard martial arts fans.
