Chapter 614: Redefining Dolls

In addition to the complexity of DC Comics, which has been repeatedly rebooted and divided into N eras, in addition to the main world, there are countless parallel worlds, and there are several earth markers. It is impossible to make these clear without filming dozens of episodes of a TV series, except for a small number of comic fans, the vast majority of viewers are not clear about these settings at all.

The Battle of the Three-Body Problem involves these settings, and the original heroine in the story is from Earth Three. It's just that although it also carries the word "chivalry", the original female hero is a villain. Not only that, in Earth Three, all the superheroes in the overworld are villains, and they killed all the heroes in the world to establish absolute rule, but for unknown reasons, their world is on the verge of destruction.

The original heroine blamed Superman, and the Righteous Alliance was divided into three factions, and the war caused them all to suffer heavy losses. These clues need to be maintained, but you only need to explain that they are from a parallel world, and there is no need to talk about them in detail, the more you talk about it, the more difficult it is for ordinary viewers to understand, and it is better to pass it off.

In this way, the setting of the second phase is because the battle with Appellax opened the spatial rift, causing the original heroine of Earth 3 and another key character to enter the main world, causing the Justice League to fight and release the big boss syndicate at the same time, and finally defeat the syndicate This stage ends. In the third stage, it's the story of eternal evil.

The most important characters in the three-body battle are Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, in the comic book story, Superman and Wonder Woman also have the right eye, which makes Zhang Qiuxi very painful when he reads the information, there are heroines in independent movies, and they can't be matched randomly when they form a team.

Probably because the concept is different. In fact, the emotional entanglements of these superheroes are quite complicated, and it is not surprising who has ever had a leg with whom. What's even more nonsense is the cheating of the superhero's wife (who is also a superhero), and the breakdown of the marriage.

Marvel movies from the original time and space. Black Widow first had an affair with Hawkeye, and then in "Avengers 2", Black Widow got involved with the Hulk again. If it were changed to China, this kind of plot should not be possible, even if it is the United States with a different concept, at this time, the movie will definitely have to hit the street if there is such a scene as ** derailment, so the plot setting is also related to the age.

Now that the script is in his own hands, Zhang Qiuxi is of course according to his own preferences, Superman's copyright belongs to Warner Bros., and with the success of "Man of Steel", they will definitely cooperate. They also like the appearance of the Justice League, because it can make Superman more influential.

No matter how it is arranged, these three superheroes must have independent movies, and Superman and Wonder Woman revolve around the three-body war, so they should be placed at the end of the second phase. Batman is not easy to arrange, Zhang Qiuxi wants to shoot "The Dark Knight", and Nolan's trilogy is actually a prequel story.

There's no need to change it now, and whether it's her personal preferences or her interpretation of superhero movies, the Dark Knight trilogy is extraordinary. There must be no waste. In this way, you can only set up a connection in the easter egg, and then directly let Batman join other movies.

"The Dark Knight" is at the front, and then there is Cybran, who has already appeared in "Justice League", and Martian Manhunter should leave the team for the conflict of the other members. And that member is the Green Lantern. The feud between the two is also a long story, and all Martians, including Martian Manhunter, are afraid of fire, simply put, their ancestors had a holiday with Green Lantern's boss more than 20,000 years ago. If you talk about it in detail, it's another TV series.

The Green Lantern is also leaving the team to manage the Green Lantern Corps, and simply puts the two of them in one movie. Although the Green Lantern was just a rookie in the first movie, he could be regarded as a meritorious player in the Green Lantern Army. In "Justice League", it has been able to stand alone. The sequel tells about the past of the Martian Manhunter ancestors and the Green Lantern boss, and both quit the Justice League.

Martian Manhunter left and then Aquaman was on top, then Flash, Superman, and finally Wonder Woman finale, and after setting this order, it was found that in addition to the Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter two-in-one, there were still more than the first stage, but it could only be so. As for whether the last two superheroes will end like this, let's talk about it later, and it is also okay to start a sequel.

It took a lot of time to just do these settings, Ye Qingqing said: "It's better to take a long time, I don't think it's anything if it takes five or six years, if it can be solved in one year, then how can DC dominate for twenty or thirty years?" And it's not that the audience will only appear in five years, one or two movies will be released every year, which is enough for the audience to follow us patiently. ”

"That's right, if you think about it carefully, it seems that we are in a hurry, and it is really a mere nuisance." It can only be arranged like this, and it is not good to say that the time span is too long, so Hongdou also changed his words, and then said: "In this case, then simply change the second stage to the second five-year plan." ”

Shangguan Jin said leisurely: "It doesn't matter what it's called, the important thing is whether it's planned?" ”

"The plan is ready, but the script hasn't written a word yet." Zhang Qiuxi said: "But for me, these settings are the most troublesome, and it will be much easier to write the script after getting these, anyway, it really has a bit of a five-year plan, take out one or two first, and write the rest slowly." ”

Shangguan Jin continued: "That's right, there is news from the toy company that Barbie is going to be listed, and you can also observe the market reaction to see what deficiencies need to be corrected." But don't forget, you yourself said that you were in charge of the development of toys, and you didn't let us worry about it. ”

General commodities need to be adjusted according to the market, but Barbie dolls don't seem to have this need at all, even if there is, it's a matter of toy companies, so Shangguan Jin's words didn't put any pressure on Zhang Qiu, she was waiting for Barbie dolls to go on the market with an expectant heart.

The development of Barbie dolls is carried out quietly, and the same is true for the listing, Yang Jie said with doubts: "Barbie's cartoon has not yet been completed, do you really have to ignore it like this, and don't do any publicity?" ”

"I don't think there's any need to do it, and I'm not in a hurry anyway." Zhang Qiuxi said: "And in addition to cartoons, I can't think of any good publicity methods, after all, this is a contract toy, and it's actually useless to advertise all over the world, right?" ”

"That's not necessarily, at least if parents want to buy dolls for their daughters after reading it, they should choose Barbie." Ye Qingqing followed and said: "But I don't think it's necessary, otherwise you can just wait for the cartoon to finish." ”

Zhang Qiuxi is not in a hurry to let Barbie occupy the market, so after the development is completed, it will be sold directly on the market, and how much influence the toy will have is not completed by advertising. However, even if it was quietly listed, the Barbie craze quickly spread.

Zhang Qiuxi's idea is to let Barbie dolls carry a girl's dream and grow up with them at the same time, so the dolls currently on the market are one size smaller than the expected specifications. Also at her request, the clothes developed by the toy company for Barbie are currently all children's clothing.

But don't underestimate children's clothing, this year, women and children have the best money, and children's clothing is also varied, so there are a lot of clothes developed for Barbie, and there are more than 30 sets of the first batch on the market. Some of these clothes are sold separately, and a few are sold together with dolls.

Whether it is a doll or a dress, the price is high or low, and the appearance of dolls of different grades is exactly the same, after all, because it is the same face, it cannot be out of shape because the price is cheap, then it is not the same doll. So the price is only different in the material, at present, there are mainly two grades, the cheap 88 yuan, and the slightly more expensive is only 298 yuan.

In fact, the price can be set higher, but Zhang Qiuxi is not a rich man's toy, and the price of 88 is acceptable to most families. And this price is not only for dolls, but also for two sets of clothes, including shoes, but also the cheaper ones.

The 298 pieces are equipped with three sets, and the style is not only different from the 88 pieces, but the quality is also slightly better. This kind of packaging is specially arranged, because in addition to the Barbie doll itself is very beautifully designed, the biggest significance is to change clothes, and selling dolls in the world is just selling dolls, so it is necessary to remind customers of this meaning in this way.

Although it is said to be a popular toy, it is not that it does not make rich people's money, and the price of the doll itself is not expensive, because the most profitable thing is not actually the doll but the clothes. Among the more than 30 sets of clothes on the market in the first batch, more than half of the prices ranged from more than 10 yuan to 100 yuan, and the rest were hundreds of yuan a set, and a few even thousands of yuan.

In the eyes of most people, a doll's clothes are sold for more than ten yuan, which is already very expensive, and other inferior dolls are just the same price. What's more, more than ten yuan is still the cheapest, and some are more expensive than real people's clothes, and it is crazy to spend thousands of yuan to buy clothes for dolls.

In the city of Qingxi, there are not many people who can easily pay for a piece of clothing, and Zhang Qiuxi only wears cheap goods found on the Internet most of the time. However, it is no longer imaginable that there are many people who are willing to spend this money, whether it is the original time and space or this time and space, so the listing of Barbie doll has amazed everyone.

This also made many toy manufacturers realize that dolls can still be sold like this. (To be continued......)
