Chapter 1257
Chen Chang nodded in approval.
Of course, only Chen Chang himself knows what he thinks.
"So Mr. Li, what do you think interactive film and television should be?" asked Chen Chang with an open face asking for advice.
"I think that interactive film and television, since it is a combination of interaction and film and television, then interactive film and television works should be a real film and television work, not a work of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep. ”
"The essence of interactive film and television is that the audience is watching more than a movie, not just a story, not just an ending, and all their choices may determine the final plot direction. ”
"And if you want the audience to truly recognize and truly immerse yourself in the story of film and television works, then the plot and the film are the key. ”
"So, interactive film and television, I think it's a supplement to the way of watching movies. Li Can explained.
"However, interactive film and television also have limitations, after all, interactive film and television cannot appear on the big screen, so how many people can pay offline? How to ensure the return on investment?" Chen Chang is certainly not a fool, and a fool cannot be the deputy director of the film purchase department of Tianchen Cinema Line.
Therefore, he pointed out the most critical point at once, how to ensure the return on investment?
"This, I believe is not a problem, interactive film and television, can be combined with real movies, for example, shooting a movie, and producing interactive film and television at the same time, both at the same time, so is the return on investment still a problem?" Li Can directly adopted Lin Xiao's suggestion and used it here.
Chen Chang picked up the coffee and took a sip, but he was thinking in his heart whether there was any possibility of operation as Li Can said.
After thinking about it carefully, Chen Chang felt that this was really a good idea.
The previous "Watchtower" was actually only made by a small company under Tianchen, and it was actually still profitable, but the income was negligible.
But hearing Li Can's analysis, Chen Chang felt that this idea was very desirable.
If you make a movie, and then make it into an interactive film, then the interactive film and television becomes a kind of movie peripheral.
However, there is another premise for this, that is, the movie must be a blockbuster.
"Can you talk about your project?" Chen Chang said as he looked at Li Can with an interested expression.
"Absolutely, the project we are working on is an undercover story, just like Infernal Affairs, undercover agents usually have to face many choices, and these choices often mean life choices.
We had already finished the script and made a short film, but we were not able to make it because of lack of funds. Li Can explained.
"This is the script, Director Chen can take a look. Li Can said and motioned for Zhou Dong to take out a script.
Chen Chang nodded, took the script and read it.
This script is a bit different from a regular movie because there are a lot of lines in it.
The storytelling aspect certainly can't be compared to "Infernal Affairs", and the same is true for the depth, but this is also normal, after all, the reason why "Infernal Affairs" is called a classic is because its story is difficult to replicate.
However, Li Can's script story is still quite interesting, although there are a lot of branches, and there are a lot of endings, which are a little complicated, but thinking that this is an interactive film and television script, Chen Chang is not too strange.
After all, interactive film and television must give the audience more choices, and different choices will have different plot directions.
"The story is good. Chen Chang closed the script and said with a smile.
"Director Chen, are you Tianchen interested?" asked Li Can.
"There's no hurry, two, is Lin Xiao really interested in this story?" asked Chen Chang.
Li Can frowned, but still nodded and said: "Yes, we were invited by the people here at the Beichuan Film Festival, not only Lin Xiao, but also Director Fan Wencheng, Director Qin Gang, Director Yang Hao, by the way, and Han Chuan, the chairman of the Beichuan Film Festival." They were all there at the time. ”
"Mr. Li, I have a question I want to ask, I don't know, how far have you talked to Lin Xiao? He made an offer? Do you have any concerns about cooperating with Lin Xiao?" Chen Chang had to guard against it.
"To be honest, Mr. Lin Xiao is indeed very optimistic about our project, but his conditions are a bit harsh, although he has not talked about it specifically, but, what he meant before was that he wanted Ling Xiao Pavilion to take over this project, that is, he wanted Ling Xiao Pavilion to lead this project, not us. Li Can lied, but this lie is seven points true and three points false.
Lin Xiao is indeed interested in this project, or in this idea, but he is only interested, as for the story or something, Lin Xiao doesn't know at all, so naturally it is impossible to talk to Li Can about any conditions, this is just a bargaining chip thrown by Li Can.
"Mr. Li, how much investment do you need to make this project?" Chen Chang tapped on the table and asked.
Li Can was overjoyed in his heart, and said with a smile: "It depends on how much you want to achieve, 10 million has the quality of 10 million, 100 million has the quality of 100 million, the main thing is to see what level you want to achieve." ”
Chen Chang shook his head and said: "Mr. Li said this, it seems a little insincere, since you have already wanted to do this project before, then you must have made a budget, I believe that no matter what company, if you invest, you will not be willing to hear this kind of simulated answer." ”
"What Director Chen said is, 30 million! We will be able to achieve the desired effect, of course, the follow-up publicity is not included. Li Can hurriedly said.
Chen Chang nodded, but he was noncommittal.
"That's it, I need to report to the company, after all, I'm responsible for buying films, not investment, so if Lin Xiao comes to you, please don't agree so quickly. Chen Chang said.
Li Can showed a look of embarrassment and said: "To be honest, we have made an appointment with Lin Xiao, and we will discuss in detail before the closing of the Beichuan Film Festival to decide on the final cooperation method, so if Director Chen is really interested, then I hope your company can make a decision as soon as possible." ”
"Okay, don't worry, I will urge the investment department to come up with the results as soon as possible. Chen Chang nodded and said.
"Then I hope we have a good cooperation?" Li Can said as he stood up with a smile.
"Happy cooperation!" Chen Chang also stood up, and the hands of the two shook together, and they couldn't help laughing.
After Chen Chang left, Zhou Dong said worriedly: "Brother Li, wouldn't it be good for us to do this?"
"Why isn't it good?" Li Can's face did not change.
"After all, Lin Xiao's side ......," Zhou Dong was a little worried.
"Shop around, Lin Xiao is very famous, but do you think he will let us take full responsibility for this project? Li Can didn't think so.
