Chapter 600: First Layout
The plan Li Mo said was actually inspired by the original space-time light path media's 'color bar house project. ’
Speaking of which, the light path media of the original time and space can also be regarded as a wonderful flower in the film and television production circle.
Because their management often makes some hindsight moves.
The 'color bar house plan' mentioned here is actually the product of making up for a mistake in decision-making.
And the decision-making mistakes mentioned here refer to the inconsistent approach to the movie "The Return of the Great Sage".
Guanglu Media, the original time and space, should actually be the first film and television media company to invest in "The Return of the Great Sage".
In the two years since it first invested in "The Return of the Great Sage", Guanglu Media has been transferring its investment shares in various ways.
In the end, about a year before the release of "The Return of the Great Sage", Guanglu Media directly transferred all the investment shares in its hands and completely withdrew from this movie.
As for what happened next, everyone must be very clear.
"The Return of the Great Sage" staged a good show of word-of-mouth counterattack in the summer of 2015, and gnawed off its own piece of cake from the market occupied by Hollywood animated films......
not only raised the box office ceiling of domestic animation films to the level of one billion in one fell swoop, but also leveraged the inherent impression that animated films are inevitably just young products to a certain extent. ’
Before 2019's "Nezha's Demon Boy Descends to the World", "The Return of the Great Sage" has always been the champion of the domestic animation film box office list.
After missing such a movie, the first thing Guanglu Media did was to set up a new animation film production company with Tian Xiaopeng, the director of "The Return of the Great Sage", and the next second step, Guanglu Media established Color Bar House Pictures, and positioned its function as a comprehensive film and television company with animation, comics, and fantasy elements as the core.
Since then, whenever domestic animation films want to attract investment, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is 'Color Bar House Pictures', a subsidiary of Guanglu Media.
And the facts have also proved that the emergence of Color Bar House Pictures has indeed filled in some of the missing things in the domestic animation market.
Due to the fact that the light path media of this time and space was cut earlier with "The Return of the Great Sage", Li Mo is not sure whether Wang Changtian will start the color bar house plan after the big sale of "The Return of the Great Sage" as the original time and space, but in line with the principle of 'taking other people's paths, so that others have no way out', Li Mo not only plans to make "The Return of the Great Sage" online in advance, but also plans to take advantage of this shareholder trend to launch his own "color bar house" plan before the potential competitors that may appear.
After listening to Li Mo tell the whole idea, the first thing Zong Shuai considered was money.
There is no way, although the current financing prospects of Molong Media are promising, as long as the money is still in other people's pockets one day, there will always be the possibility of things changing.
The most important thing is that for the particularity of the animation film production process, in the six months that the "Return of the Great Sage" project team joined Molong, Zong Shuai also had a deep understanding.
It can be summed up in two words: burn money!
Not only does it burn money, but the production speed is simply frustrating.
If it weren't for Tian Xiaopeng's final results before the signing of the cinema acquisition, Zong Shuai would have even moved to reduce the number of people and reduce expenses.
Now Li Mo said that he would set up a new department, which would also be responsible for the production and distribution of this area......
Zong Shuai's first reaction was money, which is not surprising.
Thankfully, his anxiety only lasted a few seconds.
The question of money Li Mo has already thought about it for him.
The cost of creating a new department will be taken from the box office share of "The Return of the Great Sage......
Theoretically, if everything goes well, Molong Media's version of the color bar house project will not cost much of the company's money.
At present, what Zong Shuai has to do is only prepare in advance and wait for the official announcement when the time comes......
If you calculate it like this, Zong Shuai feels that the burden on his shoulders doesn't seem to be so heavy?
Hehe......
It can only be said that after Li Mo's baptism of one idea after another, Zong Shuai's career outlook seems to have been crooked to some extent.
He didn't think about it at all, in case "The Return of the Great Sage" also knelt down, and the 'box office share' in Li Mo's mouth was lost, where would he toss the funds for establishing a new department......
Flickers...... No, it should be that after explaining his future ideas for animation and film related departments to Zong Shuai, Li Mo excused himself that he had just finished the roadshow of "Detective Chinatown", and he was not energetic and drunk, so he left the venue after saying hello to the relevant people.
Today, because of the appearance of Tian Xiaopeng and Yang Yu, Li Mo saw the script of "The Birth of the Demon Boy" in advance, which also aroused his idea of creating the "Color Bar House Project", but even if the "Color Bar House Project" can finally be implemented smoothly, the collected scripts can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket compared to the number of mobile or non-mobile scripts in the circle.
Generally speaking, if a script wants to get the attention of film and television companies, and eventually become a video work on the big and small screens, there are no more than three ways.
The most common thing is to write the script, follow the contact information of each company to send it, and try to see if there is an ancestral tomb with green smoke on your ancestors;
the second is to rely on all kinds of twists and turns, messy connections, hoping that with the channel of XXX, the boss of the film company associated with it can see his book;
The last one is the most 'official'.
The Celestial Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Screenwriters Association will hold script-based competitions from time to time, and if you can get a good ranking in high-level competitions, you will also have the opportunity to have your works appear on the desk of the boss of the film company......
But no matter what kind of channel it is, it is actually based on the unspoken rules that run under the existing model.
And Li Mo's color bar house plan is actually prying this rule to a certain extent.
It is conceivable that once "The Return of the Great Sage" is a big hit, and the "Color Bar House Project" is launched, then in the next few years, companies that are interested in the production of animated films or need animation film distribution channels will almost all gather under the banner of Molong Media at the first time.
For other companies, Molong's approach is actually to carry out the first layout.
To be precise, it is to seize the market share of other companies in the field of animation films.
This is also thanks to the fact that the domestic animation film industry of the Celestial Empire is not developed enough, except for popular IPs such as "Bear Infested" and "Pleasant Goat", even if other animation companies have the ability to produce, they may not be able to distribute it like Molong, so at least for a period of time, other companies should not be alert to Molong's 'Color Bar House Project'.
After all, in terms of the long production cycle of anime movies, it is better to spend three to four years to produce a movie with good income than to spend three months to make a bad movie and enter the theater coil......
