"I have a question. ”

Hao Yunlai, the youngest girl in the audience, was the first to speak, puzzled: "Why do you want to choose between the genres of fantasy, Xianxia, and games?" Boss Cao, you just won the Outstanding Screenwriter Award because of the pretender, whether from a commercial point of view or from the perspective of TV art, the spy war category seems to be a better choice, mainstream recognition, optoelectronic support, and the spy war IP itself has a stronger story, and there is less need to be adapted. ”

Hao Yunlai is one of Lao Tian's students, a thin beauty with a little freckles on her face, and she is a serious idealist.

Her ultimate dream is to win the Nobel Prize for Literature......

Cao Yifang flicked the little white rabbit toffee on the plate in front of him, stuffed one into his mouth, and slammed his mouth to look at the new male pet he received.

Bai Di habitually sat upright, his hairstyle was meticulously combed, he smiled slightly, and replied: "This is the development direction of the first stage of our studio, what we have to do is to increase the run-in degree of screenwriters and online writers, take the imagination of fantasy works, increase the scarce special effects investment in domestic film and television dramas, try to produce mature "cool dramas", seize the market of young male audiences, and form a differentiated competition ......"

Cao Fangfang's attitude towards Hao Yunlai has always been very arrogant, he thinks that children whose ideals are too lofty are undereducated, too spoiled and too spoiled to manage, and he looked at it sideways, "Do you understand?"

Hao Yunlai could only nod, "Okay." ”

Li Yiming, vice president of Singularity, this is a middle-aged man who has been rounded up by society, a little blessed, but he can still accept it.

He laughed, "Actually, we have also studied Mr. Cao's ideas, and the types he said are the types that best deduce the so-called reading pleasure and the cool point of the story, and the type that best fits YY aesthetics." ”

Cao Yifang tilted his head and looked at Lin Yin: "Yinyin, what genre do you think is more appropriate for us to choose?" Let's choose the major category first, and then select the works carefully. ”

Lin Yin was disgusted, and looked at him sinisterly: "Cao Fang, you are normal." ”

“OK.” Cao Fang was as good as a stream, "Miss Lin, say your opinion." ”

Lin Yin decided to eliminate interference, and she asked with a cold face: "I'm more curious, why don't you choose according to the popularity of your works?"

"In the past, when everyone bought IP, it was true that they only bought expensive ones and didn't buy the right ones, but we can't be stupid anymore. ”

Cao Fangfang thought very clearly in this link: "Let's not think about it with traffic logic, there are many readers in a book, and there are not so many viewers who convert it into a TV series, it doesn't matter if this number is made, what kind of work I want to see is the most addictive." ”

Lin Yin noticed that he used the word "addictive".

She nodded secretly, at least Cao Fang knew what the core of what he was going to do, so she didn't have to worry too much about whether the money she invested would go down the drain.

The center of gravity is not crooked, and the loss will not be anywhere, not to mention the co-producer Miao Yingsong.

Miao Yingsong looked left and right, and felt that there was nothing to worry about at all, and there was only one best route to choose, "Lao Cao, you started by filming Sword and Fairy Legend, and Xiansin is also very successful, since you want to engage in a cool drama, can't you do it in the same genre? ”

Bai Di said: "Actually, I also mean this, the Xianxia drama is safe, and you don't think about the difficulty of filming now......"

He paused, waited for everyone to look at him, and continued: "Xianxia dramas, we can continue to use the existing antique buildings of the film and television base, the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties are all available, costumes, accessories, etc. are ready-made, except for the extra special effects, which burn more money, other costs can be reduced very low." ”

"That's right. Lin Yin agreed: "Fantasy is very different as far as I know, some world structures are too chaotic, and they are not all ancient Chinese styles, if there are many filming locations, additional construction is required, and the cost is particularly high, let alone pure special effects production." ”

Bai Di continued to add: "Serving Taoism is also, you can rely on imagination, but if you implement it in practice, some character shapes will be very ugly, Douqi Apocalypse is like this, obviously a lot of money has been spent, but how cheap it is, if you want to serve Taoism beautifully, you have to hire a suitable art director at an extra high price, and even ask a cartoonist to help." ”

When Cao Fang heard it, the co-authorship was all about money.

It's not that he has no money, he can get a lot of investment now, Lin Yin and Miao Yingsong can't grab investment opportunities if they have nothing to do with him. But getting investment doesn't mean making profits, slow down to pull an investment of 500 million, and then revenue 200 million, isn't it funny?

He was silent, seemingly thinking, but in fact began to wander.

Sometimes a concept is very good, for example, he knows very well that the adaptation of male frequency online texts will be a general trend in the direction of film and television dramas, but the vanguard is easy to be shot.

The first one to eat the crab is fine, but the drooling appearance of the first strong man to eat the puffer fish must be particularly beautiful...... Cao Fang sometimes thinks that if he waits for others to find a way and keeps up with him, maybe the rate of return will be higher, after all, he can save so much cost of crossing the river by feeling the stones.

Lu Jingzhen is not very interested in Xianxia dramas, he is a pompous director who is willing to show off his skills, and thinks that the game genre is quite fresh: "Isn't the game genre bad?

Bai Di crossed his hands and said calmly: "I have made a rough calculation, if the special effects are to be passable, even if the expenses in other aspects are reduced to a minimum, we may just be able to recover the cost." ”

"It's okay to recover the cost!" Lu Jingzhen excitedly geared up: "Let me set an example for the industry, let those old men see how big a TV series can be played by young people!"

"Nong's brain is wat?" Cao Yifang came back to his senses, and the first sentence he heard made him angry enough: "The studio has been questioned by many people now, only capital loves me, if the first drama hits the street, how can it be so easy to attract investment in the future, it will definitely make money!"

Lu was stunned and said, "Okay, okay, you are the boss, you have the final say." ”

The roundtable held for a morning, Cao Yifang listened to them brainstorming, listing all kinds of incurable diseases, and then he was doing subtraction, little by little, reducing the works that can be adapted at this stage to six, four of which are Xianxia, which have both urban and ancient backgrounds.

There are also two fantasy films, both of which are also set in ancient Chinese style.

"I'll go back and think about it, and decide tomorrow that the meeting will be dismissed. ”

……

On the way back, he also received two phone calls, both of which were not good news.

The two dramas filmed at the end of last year were basically determined not to be broadcast on TV stations, and they were all downgraded to online dramas.

Cao Fangfang's thinking in this regard has not changed, he, like others, has the stereotype that the TV dramas broadcast by TV stations are more high-style and well-produced, while online dramas are still synonymous with shoddy production.

Moreover, in the past two years, Cao Fangfang's own dramas, except for the first fairy sword, did not become famous, so the premiere platform is not a first-line TV station, and all other dramas have been on the stars, which is almost a symbol of status.

Suddenly, the mortal dust fell.

Of course, the mood is not good.

After he went home, he tried to take a look at the six films he had screened, and this year he was about to be halfway through, and he couldn't delay it any longer, and the studio had to come up with a work as soon as possible.
