Chapter 104: Broadcast (3/5)

The copyrights of the last four parts of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" are in the hands of Orange, but the first four are not...

China Film and Huayi have it, China Film resold the copyright to Huayi, "Yunnan Worm Valley" and "Kunlun Divine Palace" were given to non-acting directors to direct...

Well, just the famous online movie - "Yunnan Worm Valley"...

If Orange wants to be filmed, you have to bypass the copyright of the first four films and directly shoot "Huangpizi Tomb", "Return to the Ruins of the South China Sea", "Nuqing Xiangxi" or "Wuxia Coffin Mountain"...

But those four, especially "The Grave of the Yellow Skin", are too low to watch, which is equivalent to a horror movie...

In fact, there are eight parts of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and the best one is "Exquisite Ancient City"!

But that copyright is not in the hands of Orange...

"Looking for the Dragon" itself is not an adaptation of the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series, but a new story based on the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series.

So, there's no such thing as infringement...

As for what's next for the "Ghost Blows the Lantern" series?

Of course, it is an online drama + movie operation, just like the "Tang Detective" series, while supplementing the concept with online dramas, and then launching a series of movies...

This one itself is serialized!

As the first part, "Looking for the Dragon" is the most important, so it will be publicized with such fanfare...

"Running Man" was promoted at the Yellow Expo;

Chen Kun and Xia Yu will go to "Everyday Upward"...

As for "Nine-Story Demon Tower", it can only be said that Director Lu Chuan has a very good back!

I ran into the same subject matter twice, and I was stepped on by someone!

Last time, it was "The King's Feast" that met Li Rengang's "Hongmen Banquet".

Although in the end, "The King's Feast" lost both word-of-mouth and box office, and forced investors to turn their faces, but fortunately, the quality of "Hongmen Banquet" was also limited.

It's just worse or worse, no one cares who's the worse one...

It's a pity that I didn't have such good luck this time, and I also encountered a difficult theme, "Nine-Story Demon Tower" was almost thrown off ten streets by "Looking for the Dragon"...

Even if the quality of "Looking for the Dragon" is controversial, compared to "Nine-Story Demon Tower", it is still not a problem to crush it!

No one has any objection to this, right?

......

"Never Expected" is overwhelmingly promoted: the box office of the screening exceeds 100 million...

But they don't seem to notice how bad the film's reputation is...

The movie is not a 90-minute web series, it is also a science of production, and money alone is definitely not enough.

If you still use the experience and production team of online dramas to operate a movie, this is doomed to failure.

The Baidu index reached an all-time peak on December 13, 2015, and the search index crushed "Looking for the Dragon"...

According to the theory of big data, "Wanwan" will really be a big movie that breaks one billion!

suddenly remembered the words of Master Si Onion: first spend 400 million yuan to train directors, and then use 30 years to make "China Disney"!

All of them are typical of breath that is bigger than athlete's foot!

......

In the office, Chen Zhixi submitted a project plan, which is Wu Ershan's "Fengshen"...

"The Gods?"

Chen Zhixi: "Wu Ershan has always wanted to do "Fengshen", he wants to create a mythological system that belongs to the East!"

Indeed, Wu Ershan has always wanted to film "Fengshen"...

He mentioned to Lu Xiaoran before that the original words were that "Fengshen" is a little less literary, and it is not in the four famous books, but it is in the four strange books. I think it has greater cultural value, and it is the only text that comprehensively integrates traditional Chinese mythological figures, mythological stories and Chinese history. ’

In addition, there are many regions mentioned in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", some strange creatures, some legends from Buddhism and Taoism, all of which are highly condensed. Like the Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun and Fuxian Zhenren in it, these originally Buddhist characters have been turned into Taoist characters. Buddhism was foreign, coming from "Western" India at the time. "The Romance of the Gods" highly combines these with local legends to form a very complete world view and a very complete narrative, which is worthy of recognition. ’

But this thing is really a big investment!

Do you think, Daji's dormitory Star Picking Pavilion, Longde Palace, and Wine Pond Meat Forest will all be built!

Moreover, it is difficult to have a head start in costume films, especially costume mythological films...

But this is also based on, do costume mythological films have a work to carry the tripod? No, this is also a genre that needs to be perfected, and there will definitely be a masterpiece in the future, even if it is not a god, it will be other movies.

Lu Xiaoran thought for a moment, and then said, "... I have a copy of "Walking with God" in my hand, and you let him make it first!"

"As for "Fengshen", it will be launched at the same time!"

"Really?"

"He's a director who spends money... I'll help with the financing!"

"Fengshen" is not a small investment, three consecutive films, the cost is more than 400 million US dollars!

However, big movies always have to take some risks...

The so-called heavy industry films, science fiction, military, fantasy, Xianxia...

Since Orange is a leading enterprise, it is necessary to do something serious.

Moreover, the big IP of "Fengshen" has started to develop a lot of things, including the whole industry chain layout of a series of derivative products such as theme parks, hotels, online dramas, variety shows, games, etc...

Of course, the premise of all this, "Fengshen" must be a masterpiece of domestic costume mythology!

Chen Zhixi nodded, and then changed the topic: ""Tucao Pie" has been broadcast, have you watched it?"

"How's it going?"

“... It's very hot, it's only been a day, and there are already 50 million hits!"

Lu Xiaoran: "That's good!"

Chen Zhixi sighed: "It's pretty good, the big directors probably want to buy murder!"

"Not really, right?"

"Not really?"

Chen Zhixi rolled his eyes, what did you say about him?

It's okay to pull forward, especially the last sentence 'Qin Lan was his girlfriend at the time, and he gave him his own money when the cost was overrun, he boasted about it before the breakup, and he didn't admit it after the breakup, and the media was not allowed to ask again...'

directly described him as 'Chen Shimei'...

At this moment, Tangtang walked in, followed by Zhong Lifang...

Tangtang gloated: "Lu Chuan posted on Weibo that he was going to sue you!"

“... Sue me for what?"

"Slander his reputation..."

Lu Xiaoran was speechless: "Some celebrities now, really, don't know how to blacken themselves at all, if I were Lu Chuan, I would immediately sign up for the next issue of "Tucao Pie", and then complain about me!"

Zhong Lifang: "... You think everyone is like you, you are very self-disciplined, but others may not!"

"No, I asked the program team to beep off the name..."

"What's the use?

“... In the next issue, find a few masked people to come to the stage to complain, and break more real insiders!"

"Don't!" Zhong Lifang hurriedly stopped: "It's not easy for this episode to be broadcast, we deleted a lot of sharp complaints..."

“... Is the network comprehensive so strict?"

“... Do you know how many advertisers came to us after our episode aired?"
