Chapter 381: The Essence is still far from it

Media companies aside, Hollywood's film and television companies have a market value of nearly $100 billion.

How many are there at Oriental DreamWorks?

Not to mention 100 billion US dollars, not even 100 billion Chinese dollars.

Not now, what about in the future?

In Jiang Xingwen's view, the potential of Oriental DreamWorks is still amazing.

The Chinese film market is constantly expanding, and on this basis, it will continue to impact overseas markets and continue to develop film and television peripherals, so that the potential can be continuously tapped.

Zhang Pu entered the international market, if he can sweep invincible at the box office like China, it is not impossible to have a market value of 100 billion.

"Do you think Disney's model can be replicated?"

Jiang Xingwen suddenly asked, but Zhang Pu was stunned.

Isn't this a big leap of thought?

"Why copy, not borrow?" Zhang Pu said with a smile when he came back to his senses.

What is Disney best known for?

I'm afraid it's not his film and television works, but Disneyland.

This can be regarded as the development of film and television peripherals to the extreme.

However, if you want to copy, I'm afraid it's not ordinarily difficult.

And it's not necessary.

"You mean it's possible?" Jiang Xingwen looked at Zhang Pu and said.

In Jiang Xingwen's view, if Fang Dream Factory develops in this direction, it still has advantages. For example, one of the bosses of the company is the prince of Wanhui Group, a real estate tycoon, and the other is the son-in-law of Wanhui Group.

If you want to build a paradise, you can cooperate with Wanhui Group and borrow the other party's network resources.

"The foundation is still far away!" Zhang Pu said, "It's too early to talk about this at this time." ”

When Jiang Xingwen heard this, he also smiled.

Nowadays, if Oriental DreamWorks spends money to build a paradise, what will it attract people, and how will the brand be established?

"Journey to the West" hasn't started yet!

If you want to borrow from Disney's model, then you have to add to the background.

"Journey to the West" is an IP, and "Transformers" is an IP, which is obviously far from enough.

Although Oriental DreamWorks' films are all high-reputation and high-box office, they are suitable for the development of the periphery, and there are really not many of them today.

So will the company's next films move closer to this aspect?

For example, get "Kung Fu Panda" out.

This series is still very marketable in the world. There is also a lot of potential around the IP.

If you want to create your own paradise, then cartoons are indispensable.

"Nezha's Demon Pupil Descends to the World", an animated film with an amazing box office, seems to be able to come out after "Journey to the West"!

Well, before this film, is it possible to get "The Return of the Great Victory" out, which can also borrow the popularity of "Journey to the West".

Why don't you just make a "god universe"?

If that's the case, do you have to get the "God List" out first?

Trouble!

Or just change it to "Journey to the West Universe"?

"Nezha's Demon Pupil Descends" has little to do with "Fengshen List".

There are so many characters in "Journey to the West", it can be explored.

Sun Wukong, Nezha, Erlang God, Zhu Bajie......

These characters all gave him several biographies.

If these characters are on fire, they can add to the park.

In addition, IPs such as "Jurassic Park" and "Transformers" can also contribute to the park.

Hey, these seem to be very attractive to boys, but not so attractive to girls!

Do you want to stop making a few animations of Princess So-and-so, or live-action movies?

Like Frozen?

If that's the case, why don't you bring all the animations from Disney in the previous life?

There are a lot of animations, and it's still very valuable for film and television peripherals!

For example, in "Zootopia", the animal images in it are made into dolls, which is still very popular.

Thoughts kept flickering in Zhang Pu's mind, and then he smiled dumbly.

Eat the rice one bite at a time, and the road is one step at a time.

"How's Journey to the West?" Zhang Pu then asked.

"It's estimated that it will be able to start at the end of the year!" Jiang Xingwen said.

It's a big project, and in terms of importance, it's probably bigger than any of the company's other major productions.

Even Zhang Pu's "Transformers" series may not be comparable.

The success of this TV series directly affects sales, the adaptation of cartoons, and the adaptation of movies......

Domino effect.

The importance that Oriental DreamWorks attaches to this project can be imagined.

Zhang Pu also participated in many discussions in the early stage, but later became busy and neglected it.

The preparation of this TV series is obviously more careful than other TV series.

For example, the image setting of characters such as Monkey King.

Then in future cartoons, movies, etc., the image of these characters may not be exactly the same, but it will definitely be recreated based on this, maybe there are some changes, but the whole will definitely not be too different.

Zhang Pu nodded, he felt that he needed to pay more attention to this TV series.

"What about the animation department?" Zhang Pu then asked.

"I'm already working on preparing an animated version of "Journey to the West". Jiang Xingwen said, "Yang Peng serves as the director of this animation. ”

Yang Peng?

Zhang Pu nodded.

He still has an impression of this person.

It's not an exaggeration to say that he is the leading figure of Chinese animation.

He produced quite a few cartoons that were all the rage. It's just that he was bent on making animated films, and the results were not ideal.

"I didn't expect you to dig him into the company. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

Yang Peng is still very level.

Oriental DreamWorks set up an animation department, and Zhang Pu also made a special effort to understand the animation circle.

"His last animated movie hit the street, he himself is the largest investor, not to mention that his family background has been hollowed out, and the situation is not very good. So I bought his animation studio and merged it into the animation department. Jiang Xingwen said with a smile, "Of course, your "Journey to the West" also played a great role. ”

When Zhang Pu heard this, he smiled.

For a person who loves animation, the animated version of "Journey to the West" is definitely a temptation.

What's more, it is still out of the hands of Zhang Pu.

Zhang Pu's script is a sharp weapon for poaching people in the circle.

As long as Yang Peng has a little vision, he can see the value of "Journey to the West".

This IP is not only a TV series and animation, but also adapts countless movies, as well as animated films.

Even one of the stories in it has great digging value.

He has done a good job in the animated version of "Journey to the West", if it is an animated film adaptation in the future, will Oriental DreamWorks refuse?

Oriental DreamWorks set up an animation department, didn't it have the idea of playing animated films?

Yang Peng is not stupid.

This doesn't need to be mentioned by Jiang Xingwen at all, Yang Peng can see it.

Oriental DreamWorks intends to invest in animated films, and if he wants to be ashamed, then joining Oriental DreamWorks is the best choice.

Who made Oriental DreamWorks rich now?

What's more, Oriental DreamWorks plays the role of the best special effects company in China and occupies a great advantage.

"The animation director won't be the only one, right?" Zhang Pu then asked.

If so, it is clearly not enough.

Not to mention that Zhang Pu is going to lay out the layout on the animation to lay the foundation for the construction of the park in the future, so without this plan, it is not enough to have an animated movie now.

In addition to the Journey to the West cartoon, there are also Transformers cartoons that need to be produced.

"He's just the one who's the most famous. Jiang Xingwen said with a smile, "The animated version of "Transformers" is also being prepared. ”

Zhang Pu nodded.

Animated movies are definitely going to be made, but they definitely won't be on it directly, and you need to consider their level first.

After all, animated films are more expensive to make and riskier.

This is actually the same as TV series and movies.

The box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" exceeded 2 billion in five days, shocking the entire entertainment industry.

And such an amazing box office, in turn, stimulated the box office of the film.

Who would have thought that Zhang Pu's "small goal" of 2 billion yuan would be completed in only five days.

Now, the popularity of "Wolf Warrior 2" has exceeded the expectations of countless people.

This film is already a hot topic among the people.

If anyone hasn't watched this film, they can't interject at all when they get together with friends.

If you don't look at it, it seems that there is no common language between them.

This film doesn't need to be promoted by the media at all, and almost everyone is recommending it to those around them.

Full "Amway".

If you don't watch this film, it seems that you can't keep up with the pace of the times and have been abandoned by the times.

In this movie-watching atmosphere, even fans who are not interested in this kind of film will choose to watch it.

Then, the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" is destined to create a miracle.

"Director Zhang, your small goal of 2 billion has now been reached, so what about your new goal? 4 billion, or 5 billion?"

The film is so popular, Zhang Pu, the creator of the miracle, is naturally chased by the media.

Although Zhang Pu did not promote the film anymore, he was still not let go by media reporters.

"My goals have never been big. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

It wouldn't be difficult for him to get out, but he was ready to say a few words.

Otherwise, these media reporters will not give up.

What's more, it is also necessary to have a good relationship with media reporters.

"Wolf Warrior 2" is so popular, but the publicity and distribution department of Oriental DreamWorks is not idle.

"Is the ending easter egg of "Wolf Warrior 2" the trailer of the third part? So when is Director Zhang going to shoot "Wolf Warrior 3"?" asked another reporter.

The call for "Wolf Warrior 3" is still very high.

However, Zhang Pu's next film will shoot a sci-fi blockbuster, and the news has already spread.

He obviously won't go on to make a third part.

This is undoubtedly a pity for fans of the "Wolf Warrior" series.

"When the time comes, shoot it. It's hard to decide when exactly. Zhang Pu said.

Is "Wolf Warrior 3" filmed?

Zhang Pu really doesn't know now.

If this film is to be made, then it has to consider the international market.

Zhang Pu has now developed internationally.

If "Wolf Warrior 3" does nothing in the international market, then isn't he regressing?

In the previous life, "Wolf Warrior 3" seemed to have it, but Zhang Pu hadn't seen it at all. Even if there is, it is difficult to say whether the international market is taken into account. So if you want to shoot, it means that the script of this film needs to be original to him.

Even if he doesn't write, he has to find a script that satisfies him.

This is not a small difficulty.
