Chapter 684 Regional Special Effects
Li Xinglong's Weibo has set off a huge wave on the Internet.
Ordinary netizens will only be curious about how much money the black pig gave him, which can make him let go of hatred and betray Haitian, and choose to be a PD licking dog.
As for people in the industry, the focus is that Li Xinglong's new drama has received PD investment.
That's amazing!
Everyone knows that PD is rich, after all, it has a revenue of hundreds of billions a year. But no matter how rich the PD is, it has nothing to do with them. People are too busy with their own projects, so how can they have time to invest in others?
But this time it was an exception!
Li Xinglong said that he joined PD Film and Television, and industry insiders know that he is not considered to be hired, at most it is a "cooperation" relationship, after all, the copyright of the warrior series is still in his hands.
The real entry should be Yan Tao. No matter what works he makes, the copyright belongs to PD Group, and he works purely to receive wages and bonuses.
The situation now is......
Li Xinglong did not join PD Group, but he got the investment of Meng Heizhu.
Pie in the sky?
Many directors who pursue freedom, who do not want to join a large company and be constrained by others, and who want to spend other people's money to make their own works, are suddenly excited.
Even "enemies" like Li Xinglong can get "black pig loans", why can't they?
Black Pig's plot is nothing more than the right to develop derivatives and broadcast rights. As long as it doesn't touch the production rights and adaptation rights, give it to him, you can give it to him!
With similar thoughts, a group of directors brought the scripts they had prepared "painstakingly" and rushed to Jiangchuan overnight to strive for a "black pig loan".
"Shoot!
"Is one enough? Not enough to make another one?"
"Enough is enough, thank you Mr. Meng!"
Although it is an act of "throwing coins", Meng Lang also has basic requirements. He only invests in special effects and science fiction dramas, and he has to check the script repeatedly.
Projects with interesting stories, inexpensive and able to sell toys are his top targets.
Moreover, it is going to be made into a weekly drama!
Invest millions of dollars in the early stage and shoot a few episodes to test the water. If the response is not good, he may be cut in half at any time!
In the online literature industry, there is a kind of "guaranteed buyout" contract.
As the name suggests, after signing this kind of contract, the website will give the price of "1,000 words xx yuan", which is about equal to drought and flood income.
But this kind of contract, there is a risk!
If the website loses money, then the book may be cut in half. It could be 500,000 words, or it could be 1 million words......
Meng Lang is also engaged in this model.
He invested millions of dollars and filmed a few episodes to test the water to see the effect. If the response is good, then continue to shoot down, and if the response is not good, it will be cut directly, and the loss will not be much.
Moreover, he is ready to "lose money and gain popularity".
After the restructuring of Big Bird Cartoon, it will become the first TV station in China to focus on "weekly dramas". In order to cultivate the weekly drama market and gather audiences and popularity, it is nothing to lose a little in the early stage.
If......
If one of these dozens of works suddenly pops up with a hit, wouldn't he make a lot of money by buying it out directly?
Taking the opportunity of Li Xinglong's help, Meng Lang made a name for himself in the industry, and dozens of directors received PD investment and are about to shoot their own new dramas.
Now, can the schedule be filled?
"Still not ...... enough"
Ma Teng said helplessly: "About half of these dozens of works will be cut in half after the broadcast." For the remaining half, it is estimated that the response is also very average. ”
"Just in case, we'd better prepare 2-3 more works. Even if something goes wrong, you can go on it at any time and don't waste every schedule. ”
Reasonable!
Meng Lang scratched his head and said: "Then let's do it! I'll have a meeting with the screenwriter team, make two scripts for backup first, and then let Li Wanbo and Yan Tao shoot them." ”
"Is it too late?" asked Marten.
"Don't worry, no problem!"
Isn't it just two scripts, what a big deal!
With the ability of the screenwriting team, as long as Meng Lang provides a reliable idea and setting, they can write a complete script in one day.
And the creative setting for this thing......
Meng Lang didn't have much else in his mind, but there were many creative settings. Take any one out, it's an excellent work.
Take Teletubbies, for example!
It's naïve, but it's simple. Write a business plan, a maximum of two hours to complete, as for the full script......
I'm sorry!
The plot of Teletubbies, I'm afraid it's simpler than a schoolboy's diary!
Of course, it's not okay to be too naïve.
Similar to "Electric Superman Gullit", "Flame Superman", "Computer Wizard" and "Time Police" series are quite appropriate.
If you want to shoot a new drama, Meng Lang hasn't thought about which one to shoot for the time being.
He is more inclined to the "Iron God" series.
As a neon regional special effect, the broadcast platform is not a national TV station, but a Iwate Prefectural TV station, so many people have never heard of this name. But this series is really interesting.
Integrating into the local culture, combining elements such as myths and wild history rumors, the innovative life-size leather jacket hero design is worth learning from.
By the way!
An actor who once played the heroine in Kamen Rider Armor, he starred in the eighth work of the Iron God series, "Iron God: Gun Lai Sa".
Starring, not an assistant actor!
Compared with the national special effects, although the neon area special effects have limitations, they are really not bad in terms of creativity.
What Meng Lang wanted to shoot was not the original Iron God, but "Dragon God" based on Jiang Chuan.
The original version of the iron god takes its name from the rich iron ore in Iwate Prefecture. Whether it's the plot or the setting, it contains too much local culture, and copying it will definitely not work.
But it's okay to borrow!
The name of "Dragon God" comes from the legend of the hidden dragon spring in Jiangchuan.
It is rumored that the hidden dragon spring leads to the dragon palace, and whenever it is windy and rainy, the sound of the dragon groaning is faintly heard from the depths of the spring......
Although experts have confirmed that there is no Dragon Palace under the Hidden Dragon Spring, there is only an underground dark river. But this does not affect Meng Lang to create a "Dragon God" special drama based on this legend.
The story is simple!
The darkness invaded the Hidden Dragon Spring, causing the true dragons of the Dragon Palace to blacken one after another, turning into "half-human, half-dragon" monsters to cause trouble to the river.
Meng Lang, the protagonist who was saved by the real dragon when he was drowning when he was a child, saved Long Xiaowei, who saved him back then, and learned the truth of the matter.
In order to save Jiangchuan and restore the dragon clan to normal. Long Xiaowei and Meng Lang signed a contract and fought hand in hand......
"True Dragon, give me power!"
Hold the dragon balls high and shout slogans. The "dragon" shaped leather case is put on, and Woz celebrates loudly, Kamen Rider Dragon King is born!
Well, it's none of the knights.
Although it is also a life-size tokusatsu effect, the mode of Iron God / Dragon God is completely different from Kamen Rider. If I have to say, it has a higher resemblance to the Metal Hero series.
As a big country of "special effects", neon has a wide range of regional special effects.
Meng Lang also wants to take this opportunity to engage in "regional special effects" in China. He wants to know if the "regional special effects", which focus on regional culture, can be loved by audiences from other provinces and even foreign audiences?
If it can be done, the future of so many provinces and autonomous regions in China is absolutely bright!
