Chapter 60: Peers Follow the Trend

Jiangchuan, Blue Sky Building.

Pengda Film and Television, which has just moved, is holding a regular meeting once a month.

First of all, Yan Tao from the production department, who is also the director of "Firepower Boy King 2", reported the latest work progress.

According to Yan Tao, "Firepower Boy King 2" is expected to be completed in early September of the school season, and if it is strong in the later stage, it can be broadcast in time for the National Day file.

This speed is already relatively fast in the TV industry.

After all, the crew of "Firepower Boy King 2" didn't start filming until early April, and it was completed within five months.

"Firepower Boy King 2", which was launched on the National Day, does not pose a conflict with the bakugan boy, after all, there is a whole summer vacation in between.

It has been a full year since the original "Firepower Boy King 1" was launched.

After an interval of one year, the firepower boy king already has a preliminary emotional plus. Even if Yan Tao's sequel is not as good as the first one, the ratings will not be much worse.

Not to mention, ratings don't matter at all.

The sequel is to promote the new yo-yo series, the previous firepower silver and sprint meteors, etc. are outdated, and if you don't launch a new yo-yo series, do you want to make money?

knocked on the table, Meng Lang emphasized: "The firepower boy king shoots one film a year, and when the ratings are not good, then consider refrigerating this series." Balala Little Demon Fairy's side, the sequel plan is scheduled to be arranged quickly......"

Making a sequel is a long-term plan.

It can't be said that the second season was filmed this year, and the third season will not be seen next year.

One sequel a year is enough to ensure the popularity of the Yoyo and Demon Fairy series. Even if it is not welcomed by the audience for two years, it can be refrigerated series, and then restart after five or six years.

Learn from the good example of your peers!

"Bakugan Kid" is no exception, and the development of the sequel "Sacred Stone" is already in preparation.

The difficulty is that the original version of the Holy Stone is an animated version, and it takes a major surgery to change it into a live-action drama.

But this is not difficult for Mr. Meng!

After chatting about the sequel, Ma Teng, director of operations, reported to Meng Lang the licensing revenue of Pengda Film and Television in the second quarter of 15.

As the copyright owner, Pengda Film and Television does not have its own factory and does not produce any products.

All derivatives are licensed to other manufacturers to obtain a share.

Revenue in the second quarter fell by 30% compared to the first quarter!

But this is only a temporary pain.

Meng Lang clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Our derivatives did not sell well in the second quarter, the reason is well understood, and it should be better in the third quarter." ”

The second quarter coincided with the gap period when the popularity of the Demon Immortals faded and Bakugan was not yet on sale.

Judging from the current sales situation of bakugan now, the financial report for the third quarter must be good.

The children are still very supportive!

The rest of the financial report is nothing to see, except for profit or profit, it's too vulgar!

Meng Lang turned the boss's chair in a different direction, so that the smile on his face was not seen by the employees, and said in a deep voice: "Ahem...... Director Ma, don't just talk about the domestic market, how is the performance of the overseas market?"

"Overseas markets...... Not bad. ”

Ma Teng touched his chin and said: "The Snow Scale Feng series has successfully defeated the Firepower Silver Electric series and become the best-selling yo-yo series overseas!

"How much?"

"$200 million!" Marten repeated.

Meng Lang turned back to the boss's chair and asked incredulously, "Do you mean that there are so many in the first half of the year?" Or is it the revenue expectation for the whole year?"

"The first half of the year!" Ma Teng emphasized: "The second half of the year is only a little more!"

After all, there will be bakugan and cards released in the second half of the year, and the second yo-yo world championship is coming soon, and the sales of yo-yo before and after the world championship will definitely usher in a wave of growth......

That's scary, isn't it?

More than one person in the conference room was frightened by the revenue data reported by Ma Teng, is it really that profitable to sell toys?

How many yoyos have been sold?

Meng Lang said with a smile: "Well done! Everyone worked hard in the first half of the year, and the company will never treat everyone badly if it makes money.

"Mr. Meng is atmospheric!"

The tools sang praises.

......

Pengda Film and Television has made money, and it has made a lot of money.

This aroused the envy and jealousy of many peers in the circle, and many people had an idea.

Can you still make money with that kind of shoddy drama?

It's sour.

Light acid is not enough, this group of people also follow the same example, taking advantage of the good market, they have set up their own special effects drama projects.

The veteran film and television giant Haitian Film and Television announced that they have established a new drama, which is expected to be broadcast around the National Day.

The name of the new drama is "Light Wave Kid"!

Well......

Since Haitian didn't reveal too many details, Meng Lang couldn't guess what story this "Light Wave Kid" told.

But you can see the clue from the name alone, it can't be a hand-rubbing light wave, right?

And that's just one of them!

Jiangnan Film and Television has set up a new drama "Hurricane Boy King"! It is rumored that it is co-produced with a toy manufacturer, and the main content may be related to a windmill toy.

Leah Film and Television, a film and television company mainly engaged in film production and distribution, also came to join in the fun.

Their project was very interesting, and they decided to remake "Candy Girl", which was popular on the screen a few years ago, into a live-action TV series.

It is not difficult to see that the target audience targeted by Leah Film and Television should be similar to "Balala Little Demon Fairy".

These three follow-up works are typical of their origins, and they are also the three follow-up dramas that make Meng Lang feel more threatening.

In addition, there are many unknown young directors who have also set up new drama plans.

It's all a special effects live-action drama!

Everyone swarmed into this market to grab food, and it seemed that Pengda Film and Television was in danger, but in fact, Meng Lang really didn't pay attention to these followers.

I saw the thief eating meat, but I didn't see the thief being beaten!

I just saw Pengda Film and Television eating meat, but I couldn't see the giants who plunged into the pit and didn't climb out.

Meng Lang didn't dare to say that these follow-up works would definitely fail, maybe there were one or two dramas that could really break out of the encirclement. But the possibility is too low, everyone wants to make a hit, but there are always only a few people who make a hit.

Perhaps only when they fall into this pit will they know that serving children is no less difficult than serving adults.

There has always been a gap in children's live-action dramas, and Meng Lang doesn't mind having peers come out to stir up the situation, anyway, even if these people make a hit, they may not earn as much as him.

Even the toys are not well designed, what about you shoot NM special effects dramas?

The production of the Golden Armor Warrior is more expensive than that of the Bakugan Boy, but the income from the toys is simply not too difficult.

There is such a thing as a special drama, it doesn't mean that you can make money if you shoot well!

Is it rare for a well-made film to be a dog but the producer loses money?
