And Lin Xiao originally planned to direct one or two Marvel series movies by himself.

But he suddenly changed his mind.

The reason why he changed his mind came from an animated movie he watched with his son at home.

It was an older animated movie, and the name of the movie was "The Legend of Nezha".

This is a hand-drawn animated film of the nineties, which can be said to be the first animated film in China.

And it was this animated movie that made Lin Xiao think a lot.

I only feel a little bit like I am in Baoshan and don't know the treasure.

He suddenly discovered that in fact, many domestic mass IPs are very valuable for development, and the key is that these IPs are ready-made, and what they lacked in the past was just a good story and special effects technology.

But now, a good story can be written, and the problem of special effects technology is no longer a problem.

Therefore, Lin Xiao began to consider whether it was possible to create a mythical universe system of Huaguo.

Of course, it's still too early for this, but it's completely possible to shoot two films first to test the water.

China's 5,000-year-old civilization has too many myths and legends.

For example, the most famous is the Monkey King, the great sage of Monkey King, and then, like the third prince of Nezha, Erlang Zhenjun Yang Jian, the eight immortals and so on.

There are also ancient mythological systems, Pangu, Kuafu, Gonggong, Nuwa, Houyi and so on.

Monkey King, but there are many film companies that have produced movies about Sun Dasheng with various themes, including the animated film "Havoc in Heaven" and the live-action movie "The Legend of the Great Sage".

It's just that they don't seem to be doing very well, and there are also related movies about Nezha, such as "Nezha in the Sea" and so on.

Another example is "Arrow of the Sun", which is actually the story of Hou Yi.

But looking at domestic movies, there are really not many of them.

In fact, compared with the current special effects movies, the heroes, mythological characters, and mythological stories of the ancient myths of China are naturally more suitable for adaptation into big productions.

In the past, these special effects were difficult to make, or if you want to make them, it takes a huge cost, but now the special effects technology is very mature, and the cost is not a problem at all.

Of course, if you want to make these movies, you must tear down the original inherent images and reinvent them.

Not only for the box office of the movie, but also for commercial operational considerations.

The main reason why few people were willing to make big productions of those domestic mythological films before was due to commercial considerations.

Because these domestic mythological and story-related movies have limitations in the first place, the domestic market was difficult to accommodate these high-cost large-scale productions earlier.

And this kind of movie is naturally difficult to be accepted in Europe and the United States, after all, this is an extension of natural Chinese culture.

But now it's different, the domestic market is big enough, and the key is that the income of the film's peripherals is getting higher and higher.

Therefore, Lin Xiao thought about it a lot and planned to ask the company's marketing department to do an investigation.

However, plans often fail to keep up with changes!

"Huaying's invitation?" Lin Xiao was a little surprised.

"Did you say what it was?" Lin Xiao asked suspiciously, looking at Xiao Jie.

"It's said to be related to some new official policies. Xiao Jie said.

"As far as I know, this dinner of Huaying not only invited you, but also invited Mr. Yao, as well as other private film companies in China, to receive invitations. Xiao Jie added.

"What do you think?" Lin Xiao asked.

"I've inquired, it seems that the above is not very satisfied with the current situation of domestic films, some time ago, the relevant departments have severely punished many small film companies, especially those micro film companies that sell dog meat on sheep's heads. ”

"You also know that there are many small companies like this, and the micro-movies and advertisements they make are all selling meat, and they are ...... vulgar."

"According to the words over there, our private film and television groups have not taken the lead, so this dinner is actually a symposium, and I think about it, we will talk about some things in this regard. Xiao Jie said again.

The initiator of this domestic filmmaker exchange dinner is China Film Group, and the initiator is Kang Jie, the new chairman of China Film Group.

The so-called three fires for new officials to take office, come to think of it, this exchange dinner will be the first fire.

However, thinking about it, it is true, in terms of domestic films, in fact, many restrictions have been relaxed, but in the same way, there are also many drawbacks.

For example, the incident that Xiao Jie said just now, in fact, the relevant domestic departments have cracked down on and severely punished those companies that sell dog meat on the head of sheep in the early years, but in recent years, there has been a trend of rising.

And the key issues, Lin Xiao felt that these were not these.

However, in recent years, the domestic film market has indeed become bigger and bigger, but in terms of movies, it seems to be lackluster...... Main melody?

Yes, Lin Xiao has a feeling of sudden realization, that's right, in the early years, there was a wave of main theme movie craze, but in recent years, there seem to be few main theme movies that can be taken.

Come to think of it, this should be the main direction of Boss Kang's work next, right?

For Huaying, its real purpose is not to make money, but to focus on the national film market, including developing the market and regulating the market.

Of course, there must be some special tasks.

The new official took office with three fires, and Kang Jie directly convened a martial arts conference in the film and television industry as soon as he came up this time, obviously if there was no major news or policy to announce, it would not be possible to be so high-profile.

The banquet hall of the Four Seasons Hotel in Beijing.

The big guys here tonight are all big guys in the film industry, and the big guys here are not talking about those big stars or anything like that, but the bosses of film companies and some big directors.

It can be said that tonight almost all the big forces in the domestic film industry are included here.

It is not an exaggeration to call it a martial arts conference in the film industry.

The leader of the martial arts alliance is naturally the newly appointed boss Kang of Huaying Group.

Of course, tonight's dinner is more of a ventilation meeting, and what is really decisive should be the follow-up symposium.

After Mr. Kang came to the stage and spoke routinely, the dinner officially began.

Lin Xiao finally knew how Mr. Kang's first fire was going to burn at today's dinner.

The first is the scale of the film.

In fact, these large domestic film company groups are still relatively conscious in this regard, and most of the time, they will not touch some bottom lines.

On the contrary, other small companies will be more out of the ordinary in this regard.

In fact, this situation is too normal, most of the time the projects of large companies are huge investments, even if it is a small cost, at least it is tens of millions of starts, and no one will joke with such a large investment.

Moreover, in China, film companies cannot do without official support if they want to develop steadily.
