435. The first linkage that has nothing to do with prophetic power
"Script?"
Sun Jing reacted at this time, and couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"That's right, the script, if you want to adapt a TV series with a game, then you should know that the plot of the legend is relatively simple, if you want to adapt the TV series, the plot is the most troublesome, and you must find a screenwriter for secondary creation when the time comes, but we can't guarantee that this secondary creation will be successful, different screenwriters are good at different types, just like that Mr. Chen, he is good at comedy scripts, if you ask him to write suspense and science fiction, he will be blind nine times out of ten. Other screenwriters are also in this problem, and now what we are looking for is a screenwriter who has a love for games and likes legendary games, but at the same time, he must also have a certain ability to master the fantasy genre, which is not easy to find in traditional screenwriters. So I thought, in that case, why can't we collect scripts from the public?"
"But if you face the public, your literary skills can't be guaranteed, and what we need is a script, not a ......."
"I know, so we're going to do the third creation, first of all, you have to think about what kind of people this TV show is for? Is it all ages, or young people? or middle-aged? And then, what is the main group, are the players? are the workers, are they businessmen, are they students, and there should be a gender focus, is it men? or women? With these specific goals, you can choose a relative readership according to the goal, if we need to be oriented to all ages, then we need a majestic, to take into account many aspects at the same time, if it is a young person, then you need a stronger imagination, if you are a middle-aged person, then you need a relatively calm style.
After choosing the style that we are satisfied with, we can find a special screenwriter to write the script, but at the same time, the original author we need to appear on the scene, and at the same time, the designer of Altos Virtue also comes to collect the strength of the three parties to carry out the most suitable transformation and complete the script we need in the end. ”
Zhou Fangyuan leaned on the office chair and said with a smile.
"Huh, that's a hassle......"
Sun Jing said with some surprise, "I was going to make it casually and try the water." ”
"In fact, there is no need for this, what is the purpose of testing the waters, the main thing is to open up new markets to avoid risks, but your plan, the risk is not big. First of all, gamers are a fixed audience, because our games don't have much plot introduction, so this gives players a lot of imagination, and they will always involuntarily bring themselves into the world of the game. In this case, if a TV series with a completely game plot as the background appears, do you think they won't watch it? Impossible, they will definitely watch it, this part, first of all, guarantees the ratings.
The second is the reader,This time I'm going to promote the whole network,Try to get this momentum up,At the same time, online and offline sales should be carried out,Cover the readership as much as possible,Of course,It's good to say online,There are many choices for readers,But once it comes to offline,We have to be careful,I'm ready to pick out the most representative three of them for the physical version of the hairstyle,Among them, they are the fantasy type with young people as the mainstream,The momentum type with adults as the mainstream,There is also a love type with female readers as the mainstream,As long as you can have a considerable number of readers,Then these people will eventually become the audience of our TV series。
With these two aspects of the audience, it is enough to drive a wave of enthusiasm in the domestic market, so there is no need to test the water at all, even if our TV series will not be popular, it will definitely not be too bad. ”
Zhou Fangyuan said confidently.
"In that case, the cost will be great......"
Sun Jing was worried.
"How can it be big, according to my opinion, the biggest expenses are mainly concentrated in the cost of filming and the salary of the actors. The rest of the expenses are not as big as you think. In this essay, the theme is the starting point, and all the bonuses and contracts are also issued over there, which has little to do with our side. After the selection of the appropriate one, the contract will stipulate the specific cooperation method when adapting, which has nothing to do with us. Finally, it's the author's participation in the adaptation, and I think that anyone wants this kind of opportunity, and we don't even need to pay any money to get the author to join the adaptation team.
And Altos Virtue is also my company, and I asked the company's engineers to come and participate in the script adaptation, but it was just a matter of one sentence.
That is, professional screenwriters may have to spend some money, but we don't need big-name screenwriters, what we need is screenwriters who meet our needs, it doesn't matter if they are famous or not, the important thing is that the finished script must meet our requirements. Employing more newcomers, giving them opportunities, and also giving the company opportunities, so that the cost of the script is not very large. As for the cost of filming, you can rest assured, it doesn't matter how much money you spend, you have to understand that once the adaptation is successful, this TV series can be filmed for the second, third and fourth seasons, as long as the script is good, as long as the ratings are high enough, the script can be filmed all the time, with our company's reputation in the industry now, as long as the quality of the finished film is okay, there is no worry about no sales. And there is another very important place, that is, this is an ecology, games, film and television dramas, integrated with each other, not just looking at the income of media companies, but looking at the overall situation.
If the TV series is filmed well, it will drive the sales of the game and the game, but at the same time, the more players or readers the game has, the higher the ratings of the TV series, which is a complementary relationship, that is, the closed ecosystem I told you before, all the companies under the group can be organically combined together to reduce costs and consumption, improve efficiency and income, which is very troublesome for other companies or crews, but for us, this work is very simple, as long as we are willing to do it, we can do it, the only thing we need to worry about is whether it can really meet our requirements after the TV series is filmed。
But then again, even if the ratings aren't too good, that's okay, for the first time we can accumulate experience and lay the foundation for more TV adaptations in the future. ”
Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile.
His distant group, although there have been many subsidiaries of the linkage before, but it was just an attempt before, but this time, it is a real linkage, including and distant media, distant games, Altos virtues and starting point, but this is only a relatively primary linkage, if it can be successful, there will be distant comics in the follow-up, and Jin Polo can also join it, in short, the advantage of linkage is that you can develop the market potential as much as possible, and make money in all aspects, but there are also shortcomings, that is, it is more solitary and more autistic。
At the same time, if the project goes wrong from the beginning and cannot be detected in time, it will cause more trouble and is more likely to cause great losses to the company.
However, this point, Zhou Fangyuan can still be well avoided at present, not to mention anything else, just the income of the legendary game, you can easily invest in this TV series, even if the TV series fails in the end, it is just a loss of some income, it doesn't hurt his muscles and bones, of course he doesn't care. As for the reputation of distant media, in fact, the reputation of media companies is just like that, ordinary people will not watch TV and movies with the name of media companies or film companies, everyone mainly has to watch the plot, if the plot is good and the film and television drama is excellent, it doesn't matter if it is a small company that has just been established. On the contrary, if the film is not good enough, what about the world-renowned large companies, which will not be scolded?
This adaptation, the symbolic meaning and experimental significance, are greater than the practical significance, and there is another reason why Zhou Fangyuan strongly supports it, that is, this is something beyond his prophetic ability.
In the previous life, there was no legendary TV series, no distant media, and no behemoth like the distant group, but now there is a distant group, and there is also a distant media, but whether it is the group itself or the media company, every step taken is paved by Zhou Fangyuan, and it is brought by his prophetic ability. In other words, the company and the group itself do not have independent innovation in the real sense at present, and this is true in all aspects.
So Sun Jing suddenly proposed this game adaptation TV series, which made Zhou Fangyuan a little surprised and moved, this plan has nothing to do with him, it was Sun Jing who came up with it herself through the Warcraft movie, this plan did not exist at all in the previous life, and Zhou Fangyuan's prophetic ability was completely ineffective, how to develop in the case of two eyes and a black eye, this is a problem that Zhou Fangyuan must consider. He's really been thinking about it all the time, but he doesn't have any good ideas for the time being.
As a result, now Sun Jing suddenly took this step, which completely exceeded Zhou Fangyuan's expectations, making him interested all of a sudden.
So he has to push for this thing anyway, and if it fails, it will be the same sentence, and he should pay the tuition, but if he succeeds? This is completely his "autonomous" success, and it has nothing to do with the prophetic ability. So Zhou Fangyuan was very excited now, and he couldn't wait to call his uncle and ask him to prepare for this matter.
......
Two days later, all the readers who logged in to the starting point saw a news item at the top of the website page.
"Write your legend!"
That's the name of the news.
Countless people curiously clicked on the news to open the webpage, and what appeared in front of them were four handsome figures.
After a closer look, everyone realized that this was an essay contest.
As for the content of the essay, it is based on the background story of the "legendary" online game that is currently popular in the market, the subject matter is not limited, and the length is not limited, but there are several requirements, first of all, the most important thing is that there must not be any black and pornographic reactionary politics and religion, etc., which is also the rule set by Zhou Fangyuan when he came out of this website. As an old netizen, he knows how powerful the river crab god is in the future, and he doesn't want his website to become the focus of care, so he has been strict from the beginning, and has set up a monitoring team within the starting point, and the job is to find out whether there is any illegal content from all of them.
Once discovered, there will be two warnings, the first is just an ordinary station letter warning, and the second is that the editor in charge contacts the author directly through the QQ account, and closes a single chapter, if the author does not modify it in time, or repeatedly does not change, the content of the entire book will be directly closed, in order to set an example.
Just because it was strictly controlled from the beginning, the atmosphere inside the station is not bad now, and when other small websites have all kinds of small yellow texts flying all over the sky, the starting point can still maintain a relatively healthy state, which has a lot to do with the rules set by Zhou Fangyuan at the beginning.
So when they see this request, most readers are used to it.
The second requirement is that it must be set in the Mayan continent, and the world outside the Mayan continent is never allowed, after all, it is pure fantasy, and it is best not to go to any modern high-tech things.
There are many other requirements, so I won't repeat them here, in short, this essay is the first essay at the starting point, and it is also the first essay in the online circle, so the starting point is very interested in this point and puts forward a lot of requirements. But at the same time as the high requirements, the benefits are also quite high.
The essay competition is divided into three phases, and one first prize, two second prizes and five third prizes will be selected each time.
The first prize is 100,000 yuan, and you can sign a contract with the website with an annual guarantee of 100,000 yuan.
The second prize is 30,000 yuan, and the annual income contract is 50,000 yuan.
The third prize is 5,000 yuan, and the annual income contract is 20,000 yuan.
In addition, there are a variety of other benefits, such as a special badge for the author's name on the website, the improvement of the author's level, how many website recommendations, etc., etc., these benefits are very attractive for anyone who wants to make a big splash on the Internet. And even if there is no plan in this regard, even if it is just a flash in the pan, as long as you can get the first prize, the bonus is 100,000, and the annual salary is 100,000, which is equivalent to earning 200,000 in the next year, which is already unimaginable income for an ordinary person.
What's more, it is also said below the essay page that this essay is mainly to prepare for the upcoming game adaptation TV series, that is to say, if you really win the award, you may be selected as the script background of the TV series, so that the author himself can also get other income, and the treatment is simply not good.
So on the first day of the essay page, the website background statistics showed that there were thousands of more books in a day in the name of legends, and the review of these alone made the members of the review team tired enough.
This is not the end, with the next day Tengxun and Yuanfang Network at the same time, a larger scale of publicity quickly covered the entire Huaxia Internet circle, and not only Huaxia, through the promotion of Altos Virtue and Blizzard, the essay information has even begun to spread abroad.
