Chapter 215: Online Drama (Long-Lost Addition)
(Leave a message saying what you want to see!, I'll tweak...) Also, you can comment as much as you can, there is no direction, I'm so difficult!)
"Beijing Meets Seattle" was originally prepared to be released on Valentine's Day on 2.14...
The momentum of "Demon Suppression" has risen, and it can't be stopped at all, the small-investment romance film of "North West", just withdraw from the gear...
And at the same time, there was already Bo Ge's "101st Marriage Proposal"...
In the first half of this year, Orange is preparing to release three movies, "Beijing Meets Seattle", "Embroidered Spring Knife" and "To Youth"...
Boss Lu is of course most concerned about "Embroidered Spring Knife", this thing is not only related to the beginning of Jinyiwei + Daming Jianghu, but Lu Xiaoran also starred in himself.
As for "North West" and "To Youth", these two box office films are unlikely to be bad...
"North West" changed the director Su Lun this time, and the influence will only be better;
"To Youth" without Zhao Yanzi, it shouldn't be worse than "You at the Same Table"...
Guo Fan's "You at the Same Table" can get close to 500 million box office, there is no reason to change "To Youth" and not be able to play...
The summer file is, of course, "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and this is Lu Xiaoran's first time competing in the summer file!
In addition, "The Return", "The Year in a Hurry", "The Moon", "The Dark Side", "Master of Hypnosis", "The Hunt", "Charlotte's Troubles"...
I always feel that this year's total box office may not be as good as last year's.
Fifteen films were released last year (plus literary films that do not make money), and the cumulative total box office exceeded 6 billion...
This year, Yang Qing closed down...
Xu Zheng's "Hypnosis Master", Ning Hao's "Moon", including "Return" and "Hunting", these four are not going to sell out!
The blockbuster can only count on "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Charlotte's Troubles"...
These two parts will kill 2.5 billion...
Therefore, Orange's goal this year is to break 10 billion at the global box office...
"Human Removal Plan", "Fifty Shades of Grey", and "Latent" are all global blockbusters at this year's meeting, especially "Fifty Shades of Grey", the original time and space, "Fifty Shades of Grey" spread from North America and swept the world, with a total of $571 million at the global box office, and North America contributed $166 million...
Even if it's discounted, it has a global box office of $300 million!
Anyway, Lu Xiaoran is very optimistic!
......
Wang Wei is Guo Shubo's best friend.
They are the first batch of screenwriters recruited by Orange...
After joining Orange, he first worked as a screenwriter, then followed Lu Xiaoran to make a movie, and then to "Star You", and simply asked them to direct one of the groups, and then even handed over the post-production to them!
Guo Shubo wrote a "Derailment Era" and gave it to Lu Xiaoran, who directly pointed out the shortcomings: two men, one is affectionate and considerate, rich and handsome, and the other is a poor and sloppy ex-husband who is still having extramarital affairs, does this still need to be chosen? For the story to be established, at least the two sides must be evenly matched, and the heroine is in a dilemma to be convincing.
Then he changed it again, and changed his ex-husband's personality to be less wretched, and there was no extramarital affair, which was the seven-year itch...
Both of them respected Lu Xiaoran very much.
It's the kind of respect that comes from the heart.
On this day, Lu Xiaoran invited them to dinner.
said directly: "Lao Guo, you and Wang Wei can consider doing online dramas!"
“... Web series?"
"The water in the TV drama industry is too deep, and in the future, high-quality, high-quality and good TV dramas will either be system-oriented, or have a deep connection with the system... You two definitely don't make a drama, then go in the direction of a video site!"
Guo Shubo: "I don't understand, is there any difference between online dramas and TV series?"
“... Netflix's "House of Cards", have you both watched it?"
"Well, I looked!"
After the launch of "House of Cards", Netflix's market value soared by 30%, shocking the entire capital circle, and the online video platform became an uncultivated treasure!
"In fact, it is the difference in the broadcast platform, "House of Cards" is an American drama, I think the difference between online dramas and TV series is also the difference of platforms, one for the public, the other for netizens... The latter can be played a little on a large scale!"
"Psychological Crimes", "The Darkling", "The Ten Deadly Sins", "Death Notice"... Originally, there was also a "Forensic Qin Ming", which was taken away by Tang Ren, you can pick a few and shoot it first!"
Wang Wei looked at the covers of several books, and then said, "I've read them all." ”
Guo Shubo also nodded: "I've also seen it, these seem to be suspenseful reasoning themes?"
"The audience of TV dramas is mainly middle-aged and elderly groups, but for online dramas, young audiences are the main audience group, and suspenseful reasoning themes meet the psychology of young audiences, so we choose to use this kind of theme to open a breakthrough!"
"We?"
"Tencent Video signed a contract with us to jointly invest 260 million to create several high-quality online dramas, and you two will be directors respectively!"
“... Just the two of us?"
"Of course not, you two are the directors of the first story, and then hand it over to the person you like to look at!"
Lu Xiaoran knocked on the table: "We want to make an American drama model, and multiple directors will jointly complete the work, and the production specifications and style of the work will be highly unified to maximize the liberation of productivity." ”
Guo Shubo was stunned for a moment, and then said: "... But we don't know that many people!"
Lu Xiaoran had already expected it: "Give you a year, I will help you set up a company specializing in the production of online dramas, called Little Orange, you can form your own team under my banner!"
"A year?"
"Well, in a year's time, you two should hurry up, you must know that we have also established a web drama production company specializing in the production of youth campus types, Little Orange..."
"You two must be the first in the industry!"
Wang Wei suddenly asked: "Didn't you say before that you wanted to make an online drama by yourself?"
"You mean 'Answer 2002'... That's too expensive, and no online platform is willing to accept it for the time being, so I'm ready to wait. ”
......
"Please Answer 2002" tells the story of an obsession with F4...
Lu Xiaoran suddenly didn't want to do it, probably because she was disgusted, how to say it, the reporting platform is equivalent to rushing into the green fun store and shouting: "You guys are yellow." ”
People are originally yellow!
Then he called the police and threatened to serve a sex toy store...
ruined Xiao Luzi's last bit of goodwill towards fans!
Guo Shubo and Wang Wei left the office full of worries.
Boss Lu knows that it is impossible to keep people all the time, and those who have the ability don't want to work for others - hot money pours into the film and television industry, and the first thing is to use money to smash people...
Just smash it yourself!
Set up a subsidiary company to lay out the industrial chain.
Lu Xiaoran continued to watch the news, and then swiped the news of 'Light Media':
"Guangguang Media and 360 work together to make a video website? Pay on demand..."
Eh, once a media company goes public, it must lay out the whole industry chain - the Disney model is a proven and successful model.
Now that Netflix is out, a pair of film and television companies are targeting the video platform.
Didn't Lu Xiaoran also sign a 260 million contract with Fuji Xun Video to jointly create a list of online dramas...
