Chapter 260: Strategy Launch
The ice sculpture dragon shatters, and the flash freezes the moment.
Then came the time for the reporters to do the interviews.
The four behind-the-scenes bosses of the movie each sighed a lot of words.
Wang Changtian expressed the determination and confidence of Soundwave Media to invest in the film field, and said that he would make the film and television business bigger and stronger, and strive to become the leader of domestic film and television creation.
On behalf of all the main creators, director Chen Gordon thanked fans for their strong support for the film, and at the same time talked about his optimism about the mainland film industry, believing that the mainland film market will be more developed in the future, and he has done a good job of matching Xiangxiang films with mainland films.
followed by Shao Xiaofeng, who released a clear message to reporters.
"In view of the success of the movie "The Four Famous Catchers", we at Sonic Pictures will launch a new film plan for the Four Famous Catches in the near future, and our company has bought all the film and television rights of Tan Zhang's Four Famous Catches series of novels, and will continue to cooperate with directors Tan Zhang and Chen Gordon to bring more stories of the Four Famous Catches to the big screen and present them to everyone."
The four famous catchers are going to make a sequel, which is not new news.
There are four novels in itself, and once the first one is filmed, the follow-up is naturally not a problem.
Zhang Tan focused on answering the reporter's question about the copyright of his novels: "Eight of my novels have been published, and two are in creation, and basically all the copyrights of film and television adaptations have been sold...... I have only published four novels in the Four Famous Catches series, but the story is much more than four to summarize...... I hope to work with Sonic Pictures to make the film better. ”
"What about other novels and films?"
"Today is the celebration banquet of the four famous catchers, and I won't say much about the rest. I can only say that I won't make everyone wait too long. If you want to keep abreast of this development, you can follow my Weibo account. Or pay attention to the Weibo account of Luzhou Studio, and we will announce it as soon as there is progress on Weibo. ”
Zhang Tan didn't want to turn the celebration banquet into his own press conference. After all, he only has the rights to the four famous capture series, which were sold to Sonic Pictures.
The copyright of the Condor trilogy and the TV series were bought by Zhang Dabeard Studio, and the film rights were sold to Huayi Brothers.
The TV series copyright of "Xiao Li Flying Knife" was sold to Xunnan Satellite TV, and the film copyright was sold to Bona Films.
"Dragon Babu", which is about to be put on sale in June this year, the copyright of the TV series was jointly bought by Zhang Dabeard Studio and Zhejiang Satellite TV, and the film copyright was snatched by China Film Group.
has not yet created "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and the copyright of the TV series was also jointly bought by Zhang Dabeard Studio and Zhejiang Satellite TV, and the film copyright was locked in advance by Orange Sky Entertainment.
It all works copyrighted. It was all completed by Li Yan leading the Luzhou studio. The reason why the copyright sales are very scattered is that the copyrights of Zhang Tan's novels are too expensive. In recent years, Zhang Tan has repeatedly created sales myths, and the adapted TV series have swept Asia, making the copyright price rise again and again.
There is absolutely no writer in China whose copyright can exceed the price of Zhang Tan's work.
With a single film and television company, eating so many copyrights is too costly, risky, and not cost-effective. But grab the copyright of a novel. It's still very easy to digest.
After these companies bought the film and television rights, they were not in a hurry to shoot.
In terms of TV series shooting, Zhang Dabeard's studio was busy filming "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", "Dragon Babu" and "Smiling Proud Jianghu" are all things in the future. Hunan Satellite TV is preparing its independent entertainment operation company. is ready to use "Xiao Li Flying Knife" as the first TV series of its company.
Sonic Pictures plans to start filming the TV series version of "The Four Famous Catchers", and the company's plan is to release the movie version of each novel first, and then the TV series. Let the movie drive the popularity of the TV series.
As for the movies other than the four famous catches, everyone was waiting and watching before. Now that the box office is out, they should be about to make a move.
……
The celebration banquet is just a show.
Eat, take pictures, and give interviews. And that's in the past. The real dinner was in the evening, and there were not many people at the dinner, mainly three parties, the management of Sonic Pictures, the director team of Chen Gordon and the Luzhou Studio.
There is only one problem discussed at the dinner, that is, Luzhou Studio is ready to participate in the production of the four famous catch series films.
This time it is not only the cooperation in the screenwriter, but also the cooperation in investment and production.
"The Four Famous Catchers of Beijing" made money, and Luzhou Studio naturally wanted to get a piece of the pie, in the words of General Manager Li Yan: "We are at a loss just by selling copyrights, and now the annual copyright fees of Luzhou Studio can't be spent at all, so it's better to take them out and invest, and money can make money." ”
Although Zhang Tan withdrew more than 20 million yuan from the studio's account this year, as a new round of investment, he was integrated into the micro. Bo Company. But the entrepreneurial period is small. Bo Company has not yet reached the peak of burning money, and there is no need for more financing expansion. Therefore, there is a lot of money in the account of Luzhou Studio, and he can only go to the bank to eat interest.
Li Yan found Zhang Tan and said that she wanted to invest in movies.
Zhang Tan thought about it, the first part of the four famous catches has been successful, and the sequel will be filmed according to this idea, there is no reason not to make money, so he agreed.
In the face of the investment of Luzhou Studio, Sonic Pictures did not refuse, no matter how good the script is, it is just a script, there will still be risks, and it is also a good thing to attract more investment to share the risk within the scope of the license.
After determining the intention of cooperation, the next step is to discuss the details.
In this regard, Zhang Tan didn't understand much, so he simply stood by and watched.
Go and work on your own novels.
In the past two months, because Susa needs to film, Zhang Tan has spent more time alone, putting aside eating, drinking and having fun, and the rest is to bury his head in codewords.
Now he has coded 1 million words of "Tianlong Babu", and it is expected to be completed in early July.
……
Time jumped to Children's Day on June 1, and the first volume of "Dragon Babu" published by Joint Publishing was on the shelves at the same time across the country, including the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
This time, Zhang Tan's new book was published, and the scale of publicity can be said to be unprecedented.
First of all, Joint Publishing Co., Ltd., together with the School of Humanities of Zhejiang University, Luzhou Studio, China Film Group, Zhang Dabeard Studio, Zhejiang Satellite TV, as well as Taiwan Crown Publishing House and Xiangxiang Xinya Culture, jointly created the 2006 Tan-style martial arts masterpiece "Dragon Babu" global strategy conference.
The press conference was held at the Xixi Campus of Zhejiang University on the shore of the West Lake, and the whole process was broadcast live on the Zhijiang Film and Television Culture Channel.
Before the press conference, the CEOs of the companies who jointly organized the press conference, together with Zhang Tan, went to the West Lake not far away under the live broadcast car of the Zhejiang Film and Television Culture Channel, and met the national hero Yue Fei in the Yue Wang Temple.
Standing in front of Yue Wang Temple, Zhang Tan faced the live broadcast camera and recited Yue Fei's eternal phrase "Man Jianghong": "Angry hair rushes to the crown, and the rain rests on the railing...... Wait to clean up the old mountains and rivers from the beginning, facing the sky. ”
He also delivered a short speech, drafted by his personal editors and polished by himself.
As China's most successful writer in the 21st century, Zhang Tan's current compulsion is so high that it is difficult to describe it with the word "writer".
It should be said that he is a cultural leader of the new era.
Able to influence the existence of a generation of young people. (To be continued.) )
