Chapter 720: Review and Continue
Although, judging from the news released by Molong Media, at least at the company level, I don't think that the box office has not met expectations now, and it is the pot of the main creative team of "Shura Battlefield", but for the company, there are indeed a lot of things worth summarizing and improving in "Shura Battlefield".
After announcing the results to stabilize people's hearts, Molong Media also began to convene relevant personnel overnight to summarize and sort out the work before and after the preparation of "Shura Battlefield" and the release.
“…… I think maybe when we adapted the script, we added a little bit of funny elements, so that the audience was not so nervous and depressed when watching it, maybe the final effect would be much better than now. Isn't the role of Pei Lun a lot of fans in the Lei family's voice circle? We can also learn from this approach in other characters. ”
"This ...... I guess no. The original work of our "Embroidered Spring Knife" is famous for its serious atmosphere, according to the original author, each character in it has its own historical prototype, if the character image is changed too much, it is estimated that the original fans will not buy it. ”
"You can't say that, what we do is a movie, not an audiobook of the original book, everything is the same as the original book, the audience is just at home, why do you have to go to the cinema to spend money to watch a movie? I think the schedule is still not suitable......
"Big brother, the schedule really can't be moved. Now in November, and in the following December, there are people in Guanglu Media's "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon", although "Shura Battlefield" has done a good job in serving the Tao, but it has an advantage when it is on "Charlotte's Troubles", you let it collide with the 150 million "Dragon Hunting", don't die too quickly......"
"Hey, the total investment of our "Shura Battlefield" is only 60 million, okay? And every penny of the crew during the filming is well documented, and most of them are used on the service of Huadao, I don't believe you can go and adjust the file. With such a small budget, what are we going to do with other people's fantasy movies?"
"Eh, I don't mean that, besides, the crew's expenses are all in Sister Zhong's care, even if I don't believe anyone, I can't trust her......"
………………
It's a mess, and there are all kinds of theories.
Lu Yang, who had just returned to the imperial capital after returning to the imperial capital after the announcement trip, was in a cold sweat when he heard it.
He rarely had the opportunity to participate in this kind of level meeting, and he felt that he was about to commit embarrassment.
He never imagined that the usually cold and serious executives would be so ...... when they had a private meeting Joy.
…… It's all a bit out of place.
Obviously, the topic of discussion today is the evaluation of "Shura Battlefield", and the study of whether to continue to promote the series of "Embroidered Spring Knife" in the future, but after turning around, I don't know what happened, and it actually got involved in the company's financial power......
If Lu Yang wasn't very sure about the purpose of his visit today, he wouldn't have to wonder if he had gone to the wrong room and had the wrong meeting......
"Okay, okay, your topic is almost crooked to Hollywood," Li Mo let out a long sigh, "The purpose of our meeting today is to study the future plan of the series "Embroidered Spring Knife", not to let you run here to chase the reason. Also, since we have already talked about financial issues just now, I will simply repeat again, Sister Lifang is the company's financial director, whether in theory or in practice, she only needs to be responsible to me, the chairman, and no one else has the right to intervene......"
Having said that, the filming cost of "Shura Battlefield" is 60 million, the publicity cost is 15 million, plus the distribution cost of 5 million, the total cost is more than 80 million.
Although even with the current box office data, Molong Media is enough to recover the cost, and if you add the subsequent copyrights of various platforms, you can still make a small profit, but it is still a big gap from the revenue data of the company's other projects of the same size.
"Okay, give me all your thoughts, let's focus on one question now: "Embroidered Spring Knife" series, do we still have to continue to do it!"
In the end, it was the boss of the company, Li Mo opened his mouth to set the tone, and others still had to take their minds back.
Of course, the final decision on the film and television project is still in Li Mo's own hands, and others can only give him advice.
"Let me tell you my opinion first," seeing that the scene was a little chilly, Li Mo opened his mouth first, "The reputation of "Shura Battlefield" is not bad, according to the results of the company's questionnaire, the audience still has a certain expectation for the follow-up, so I think this series can continue according to our original plan. ”
However, Mr. Li, because there are now two easter eggs in the movie, for the production team, it is equivalent to having two routes to choose, if the choice is wrong, the follow-up may not be able to gain such a good reputation. And the most important thing is that the actor's salary still needs to be considered. ”
"The salary problem should not be big, whether it is Zhou Yiwei who plays Ding Xiu, or Ma Yuke, who shows his face in the camera, they are not people who can be called starting price codes in terms of movies, and the proportion of actors' salaries in the total investment will not exceed 10%. ”
This time it was Lu Yang who spoke.
Hearing this, he basically understood the direction of the company's top management.
Li Mo seems to insist that the "Embroidered Spring Knife" series should continue to be filmed, while other executives have doubts.
At this time, Lu Yang felt that if he didn't speak again, he would inevitably be a little sorry for Li Mo's trust.
"Lu Yang, listening to the meaning of your words, you should still have considered the future development direction of this series?"
Giving Lu Yang an approving look, Li Mo continued to ask questions along the topic.
"Let's be honest, Mr. Li, from my point of view, whether it is filming Lu Jianxing's route "Hiding in the Back of the Knife" or Ding Xiu's route "The Legend of Miao Dao", I think at least the original story structure in this regard is still very complete, and the character portrayal should also be able to move people, and the shooting difficulty is ...... After I had the lessons of "Shura Battlefield", it won't be too big, it's just a box office ...... I can't say how many. ”
It can be seen that after staying in Molong Media for a long time, Lu Yang is still a little affected by Li Mo's aura.
Starting with 500 million and hitting the road with 800 million, this kind of thing is really not blowing in Molong.
If other companies' costume action movies can get a box office of 350 million to 400 million, they will definitely have a celebration banquet, but when it comes to Molong Media, Lu Yang still feels that he has not done well this time......
What's even more bizarre is that almost all the 'old employees' of Molong Media have the same idea as him.
"Okay, then you take a break for a while, help me do the post-editing of "Book of Swords and Enmity", and when you're ready, let's continue to work. In the next part of "Embroidered Spring Knife", I still don't ask for a big hit, even if you complete the task. ”
"No problem, Mr. Li, I will definitely continue to work hard. ”
This is the end of the discussion, and the "Embroidered Spring Knife" series will guarantee the release of at least one work every two years.
Just like Li Mo requested, the box office is handed over to the audience, and the quality must be guaranteed first!!
