The repercussions of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in the United States have reached a new high for Chinese-language films, and in Hong Kong, Baolong has once again become the object of learning and imitation for many entrepreneurs who are interested in the development of the film industry.

Hong Kong's feudal superstition is relatively strong, and people should refer to the opinions of feng shui masters when buying houses, and refer to the analysis of fortune tellers when choosing a name.

Because, the recent blowout in Hong Kong's film industry has seen new film companies open almost every day. The cattle in Mong Kok have been doing business unprecedentedly hot recently.

Before the opening of the new film company, it is inevitable to ask an authoritative fortune teller to choose a name, Niu Banxian is known as "name can change life against the sky", and has named and changed the names of thousands of people, most of which are failures, but there are always hundreds of successful cases. Niu Banxian always pays attention to collecting these successful cases and flaunting them as his own capital. Because, in the Mong Kok area, this person is already an authority on naming.

"When I was young, I had bad luck that day, but my father asked Niu Banxian to help me change my life. As a result, Niu Banxian just changed my name slightly, and let me soar! Believe in the bull half immortal, yes! A young man named Ge Siyun pointed to Niu Banxian and boasted.

Ge Siyun's name is homophonic to "shit luck", it is evil, after changing the name, Xiao Ge is full of luck, and the exam multiple-choice questions can also be mismatched.

Niu Banxian slandered in his heart, this kid is really shit luck!

Facing the admiring gaze of a young man, Niu Banxian looked quite reserved, and said, "Xiaoge, do you need help with Uncle Niu this time?" ”

Ge Siyun said: "Name the company! ”

"Film Company!" The rest of the young people added.

Niu Banxian counted his beard and said: "The most popular film company is Baolong Film." The reason why this Baolong is so successful and makes a movie that is famous in the world has a lot to do with its name! ”

"What's the connection?" The young people were curious.

"Because, this company has the dragon character in its name!"

"Dragons?"

"Yes, that's the dragon word!" Niu Banxian began to quote the explanation of the classics, "The dragon can be visible and hidden, small and huge, short and long." The spring equinox ascends to the sky, the autumn equinox dives into the abyss, calling for wind and rain, omnipotent. Among the beasts, who can be more overlord than the dragon, and who can be more worshiped and admired than the dragon? ”

In the early 70s, the most successful Chinese-language film was "Bruce Lee", which almost swept up a kung fu tide in Europe and the United States at that time.

At the end of the 70s, Jackie Chan was also surprisingly successful in the Asian film market.

Now, Baolong Film Company also has a "dragon" in its name, which has caused an amazing success effect, so the dragon character has become the key word for the film company's name.

After Niu Banxian's explanation, everyone suddenly realized.

"If you're going to start a film company, you must have a dragon in your name!" Niu Banxian emphasized.

"What should I call a dragon?" Ge Siyun asked curiously.

"Yunlong Pictures!" Niu Banxian said, "If you take this name, I will keep you and make a name for yourself in the film industry within 5 years!" ”

Many young people were satisfied with Niu Banxian and gave Niu Banxian a big red envelope, which contained a thousand-yuan banknote, which made Niu Banxian's eyebrows dance.

During this period of time, Hong Kong's fortune tellers, with a unified voice, unanimously agreed that the dragon character was the most suitable for film companies.

This has also led to the recent registration of companies to name dragon-related names such as "Yellow Dragon", "Black Dragon", and "Colorful Dragon".

As for the unsuccessful success of these film companies named Dragons in the future, fortune tellers can also excuse the cruel competition caused by the "dragon competition".

The word dragon has sparked a frenzy of follow-up, and thousands of people in the Hong Kong film industry are convinced. When everyone in Baolong Film Company heard this, they all felt absurd.

"Whatever name they like, take it!" Zhang Shaojie said with a smile, "Even if it is a Hong Kong film company, it is named Dragon, and Baolong will also be the head of the dragons!" ”

Gu Long smiled dumbly and said, "So far, I feel that the name 'Gu Long' is good!" ”

Zhang Shaojie said with a smile: "The word ancient dragon means dragon ancestor, and it is more able to suppress luck!" ”

"Haha!" Gu Long smiled, "I really doubt that you are a first-class fortune teller now. ”

In February ——————————————84, news came from Ben's side.

The anime version of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", directed by Hayao Miyazaki, has successfully produced 40 episodes and is scheduled to premiere on TV Tokyo in the near future.

According to the plan, the anime version of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is about 400 episodes or more, and it will be released in 10 seasons, and each season is expected to be completed in 1~2 years.

The anime version of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is only 30 minutes per episode. According to the production schedule of 40 episodes in 2 years, this also means that it will take a year to produce about 500 minutes, and an average of 1.5 minutes of content will be produced every day.

From the point of view of efficiency, almost many of the coppers who are used to seeing the rapid update of migrant workers think that Miyazaki is lazy, and the average production of 1.5 minutes of content is too slow!

However, Zhang Shaojie knows that this is not because Miyazaki is lazy, but because of his meticulous artistic attitude. You must know that this anime masterpiece actually costs 3.5 million yuan per minute, which is almost five or six times more expensive than other anime on the market!

At this point, it can be seen that this anime is indeed a masterpiece to look forward to!

The anime version of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is also a work of Zhang Shaojie, and it is the first time to face the audience in an anime adaptation. If it succeeds, it will be equivalent to opening a huge market door for Zhang Shaojie that is not inferior to movies.

Hayao Miyazaki served as the director and TV Tokyo premiered, so that Zhang Shaojie has great confidence in the success of this anime.

In the 90s, TV Tokyo was famous for broadcasting anime 24 hours a day.

Even in the event of an earthquake, typhoon, or prime minister's election, TV Tokyo often gives a few minutes of news at most, and then continues to broadcast anime on its own track. Later, popular anime such as "Pokémon", "Yu-Gi-Oh", "Neon Genesis Evangelion", and "Naruto" established the unparalleled popularity of Tokyo TV in the minds of anime lovers.

However, in the 80s, TV Tokyo's strength was still quite weak, and even if it was an anime program, it was not a fist product that could be used.

The premiere rights of the anime version of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" were bought by TV Tokyo at a price of 60 million yuan per episode, which is three times higher than the market price!

In fact, in this era, Hayao Miyazaki is a young animation director who has not yet made a career in the world. The reason why it came out with a high price of 60 million yuan per episode is also because of the golden signboard of Zhang Shaojie.

Because of his worship of the strong, the more successful Zhang Shaojie is, the more people worship him.

In addition, Tokuma Bookstore, Shochiku Film, Toho Film and other companies have repeatedly hyped up the myth of Zhang Shaojie for commercial purposes.

The hype for many years has lifted Zhang Shaojie to the altar!

In this book, Zhang Shaojie is said to have more than 50 million fans and more than one million die-hard fans. This phenomenon is ten times stronger than any idol in this book.

In this regard, the right-wingers of this book are deeply distressed. thinks that young people who worship Zhang Shaojie and like anime and games are the beat generation.

However, the appeal of right-wing militarism is really not as attractive to otaku and otaku as anime, games, and other entertainment products.

Although, TV Tokyo's premiere rights of 60 million yuan per episode are far from being able to earn back the cost compared to the production cost of the anime version of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" of more than 100 million yuan per episode.

However, the anime version of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is not just sold to TV Tokyo.

After its premiere on TV Tokyo, Tokuma Shoten was able to sell to other TV stations at a lower price. At the same time, Hong Kong's Asia Television also won the Chinese copyright of the anime version of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" at a price of 200,000 Hong Kong dollars per episode.

As a major animation country in the world, most of the animations that can be popular in this book can be exported to many countries in the world. For the time being, Tokuma Bookstore is very calm, as long as it can become a hit on TV Tokyo, this anime will definitely make Tokuma Bookstore make money and earn hand cramps.

When Tokuma Kang Kuai called to report the progress of the anime version of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", Zhang Shaojie was quite excited and said: "If the anime adaptation of this work can be successful, then I will entrust more works to Tokuma Bookstore for anime adaptation." ”

Tokuma Yasuai also smiled: "Zhang Sang's words already belong to the ranks of the most valuable words in the world!" Even if it is many of the world's first-class writers, the adaptation of animation, film and television may not be able to achieve great success. There is only Zhang Sang's text, not only that, but also inherently has the value of film and television and animation adaptation! ”

"It's also thanks to a partner like Tokuma-san!" Zhang Shaojie was secretly amused, this is after his success, others will have such a high evaluation.

If you are a street writer who has written "Datang", "Resident Evil", and "Breaking the Sky", I guarantee that no one will think that these works have adaptation value.

However, when a work is popular to a certain extent, any aspect of the adaptation value will be mined by businessmen.

In this world, there are too many talented people, and if every talented person is excavated, Bole will be exhausted to death. Therefore, Bole, who has capital, will only select the works of first-line famous writers who have shown value for commercial adaptation.

Now Zhang Shaojie is already a golden signboard, no matter how hard he is not angry, even if he is a third-rate level of writing, he can still eat his old book and get a lot of benefits.
