Chapter 370: Mutual Cooperation

Shi Yuanjia felt that it was really the right decision to come to Chen Xiao.

Yes, he was still very excited when he first came up with the idea of a superhero cinematic universe, and he felt as if he had found a new path in commercial cinema.

But after thinking about it, I don't think it's reliable.

This is still because no one else has walked before, so he has no experience, and then he falls into the wrong thinking.

But now?

In just a few words, Chen Xiao cleared his thinking.

Not only that, but in the following conversation, Chen Xiao put forward more things that he had never thought of.

The main thing is still about superheroes.

The protagonist of "Dragon King" has become powerful because of the inheritance of the dragon.

The protagonist of "Resident Evil" becomes powerful because the virus mutates in the body.

So is it possible to get bitten by a spider and then become Spider-Man?

Or maybe you arm yourself with technology because of your top-notch technological abilities to become Iron Man? Or maybe it's Batman?

In short, now Shi Yuan's family has seen Chen Xiao's whimsy.

But Chen Xiao is not imaginary, the key is that he can also come up with the corresponding detailed plan, compared to who has what ability, who has what kind of plot.

Yes, in Shi Yuanjia's opinion, this huge amount of information was blurted out by him and Chen Xiao without pause while drinking coffee.

Without any preparation, even the topic of the superhero universe was brought up by him.

Otherwise, he would definitely think that Chen Xiao had already had the idea of making a movie universe, and even had done a lot of homework.

But even so, Shi Yuanjia admired Chen Xiao very much.

What kind of brain is this?

How does it seem that there really is nothing that can stump him?

However, he always felt that Chen Xiao still had other ideas, but he did not explain them carefully, but expressed his willingness to cooperate.

Yes, it's cooperation.

This is also the reason why Chen Xiao said so much today, he wants to cooperate with the apocalypse.

In the superhero movie universe, Chen Xiao also thought about filming, which is a money-making weapon.

But this requires a lot of money as support, even if Chen Xiao has the strength and does not have this capital, he can't put all his bets on the investment of fans.

In this case, if something goes wrong in the middle, then the superhero universe will be delayed indefinitely.

Even because of the mature concept, they will make wedding dresses for other people.

So if you want to do it, there is only one way, and that is to do it best at the beginning, and be able to do it all the time, and always be in front of others.

In this way, it is the most secure and profitable.

He believes that if one cinematic universe appears, then more cinematic universes will appear one after another.

It's like a past life, and it's not just a Marvel universe.

There are also the DC Cinematic Universe, the Monster Cinematic Universe, and the Dark Universe that has been in preparation.

But why is the Marvel Universe the most famous?

That's because he did the best, the most content, and the power setting was more successful.

There is also a key reason, and that is that the Marvel Universe has never been interrupted and the production is high.

If Marvel had only made two movies at that time and then took a break for a few years, then it would definitely not have that kind of popularity.

And Chen Xiao's company's film output?

Judging from a small and medium-sized company, it is indeed quite high, and it is very productive to be able to come up with a movie every few months.

But that's not enough.

But if you can work with Apocalypse, it's different.

Whether it is propaganda means or the output of films, it is a qualitative leap.

So there was that conversation from before.

And Shi Yuanjia certainly heard Chen Xiao's thoughts, in fact, he also felt that this was a very good idea, after all, for the time being, this was a thing that was beneficial to both parties.

If it succeeds, then the two sides can build a cinematic universe.

If it fails, the risk will also be evenly shared.

But Shi Yuanjia is just a part-time worker after all, he said: "Chen Xiao, I think your idea of the movie universe is very perfect, we can do this to make a complete set of commercial movies, I will discuss these with our President Peng, there should be no problem." ”

If you want to talk about the superhero movie universe, according to Chen Xiao's way, not only will the operation be more flexible, but also reduce the risk.

Yes, not only will it reduce costs, but it will also reflect the independence of the film, even if the cinematic universe does not do well, a superhero movie alone may still succeed.

Once successful, the benefits are self-evident.

As long as the cinematic universe is successful, then the superhero movies alone will also receive a passive propaganda blessing.

At that time, there was basically no need to promote it, as long as it was said that the movie was also part of the cinematic universe, then a large number of viewers would pay for it.

After talking with Chen Xiao for a few hours, Shi Yuanjia's eyes suddenly opened up, and he had seen a more open film road.

And it's still no one who has walked it.

So once it succeeds, almost all future movies don't have to worry about what should be made.

And Chen Xiao will be the most suitable collaborator.

Chen Xiao said: "The so-called cinematic universe is not just a few sequel movies to bear this title, it needs a unique world view, an infinitely extended story system, and complex character relationships, etc., to tell the audience the plot and connection between each movie in the form of a TV series, which is an indispensable condition for becoming a cinematic universe." ”

To put it simply, making a movie universe is far from being as simple as it seems.

In previous lives, such as "Warcraft" and "Assassin's Creed" both wanted to develop in the direction of the cinematic universe, but because of cost and risk issues, they have been stagnant.

Chen Xiao didn't want to be different and shoot a movie universe like dark style.

So I still have the experience of success in my previous life, and I have some confidence here.

And what about the apocalypse?

Chen Xiao knew that Apocalypse had not made a move in the recent turmoil in the domestic theater chain, but instead set his sights on Hollywood, and used $1.2 billion to acquire a Hollywood theater chain, and the key was to obtain the approval of the US government.

At that time, this incident also caused many protesters to hold signs in protest, and this incident also made the news.

From this incident, it can be seen that the apocalypse wants to develop in the international arena.

Well, the cinematic universe concept is a good weapon to use to open up the international market.

Therefore, Chen Xiao also felt that Peng Jiujiang would most likely agree.
