Chapter 381 - The TV Series Also Needs to Be Pandora Formatted!
The film industry and the electronics industry were the only bright spots in the economies of various countries during the economic crisis, or rather, they were good bright spots in the economies of China and the United States. Europe is a bit depressed, their electronic components can't compete with Asia, and their films are not influential enough, Chinese and Japanese films have begun to attack Europe with Pandora's east, and European films have not improved so much that they have to cooperate with Hollywood to join Pandora's camp. Even so, the international market that European films can occupy is very narrow, China, the United States and Japan seem to have a tacit understanding that other countries are blocking Pandora's global distribution model, and Europe is quite embarrassed in terms of film distribution because of its large number of countries and not a unified market, and its films will only cost more than Hollywood and Chinese films no matter what, and even Japan cannot compare.
A large number of small Pandora-format films in Japan have begun to appear on the counters of countries that do not restrict such audiovisual productions, creating a kind of indescribable undercurrent, and Europeans are dissatisfied with the Japanese shooting methods and tastes at the same time, but they can't help but buy this new experience, and then the small American film companies quickly follow suit, because for this reason, Pandora Helmet is not at all afraid of competition from Google and Apple. Food and clothing Europeans seem to be particularly interested in sensory stimulation, and the result is that Europe's film market has fallen further, even as the three ambitious powers, Germany and France, including Britain, simultaneously want to be treated as a technological diffusion to Japan and China. But it soon became clear that they were not at all competitive in the case of comparative advantage. Even Germany and France have a relatively complete industrial sector.
The large market, the upstream industrial chain is complete, and the film and television industry is sufficiently accumulated, strictly compared to the European countries, almost none of the conditions are met, especially in the case of the United States, China, and Japan, where even the smallest Japan has a population of more than 100 million, and the domestic market of the three countries is broad enough, not to mention the international market that the three countries have at the same time. Even Japan. Some of his film genres are also among the best in the world, and small films aside, the sales of special effects films like Ultraman are enough to shock Europe.
in the industrial chain. The three countries also have a complete range of categories, the United States occupies a technological advantage, China and Japan both have production capacity advantages, and Taiwan's semiconductor industry lives on orders from China, the United States and Japan. China, the world's factory, is trying to show itself as a true one. The Pandora helmet factory in the southwest after a short commissioning. Production is quickly on the right track, the factory management tried their best to increase the production capacity, not at all concerned about the problem of increasing the number of manpower, in fact, the manpower has almost reached the upper limit, and now the restriction on production capacity is very large due to the production line itself, the deputy prime minister and secretary of the municipal party committee has repeatedly and Nick. Shen Zhenghui, the representative of Anderson and Mitsumi Foton, raised the issue of expanding production capacity, which is obvious, and the annual production capacity of 30 million units cannot even meet the domestic market. Besides, according to the law of electronic products, isn't this thing going to be replaced with a new one after two or three years of use? Even if the software is not replaced. Can you make money by upgrading hardware or something? Add a sensor, add a glove mouse, a full-body sensor, clothing, a gamepad, etc., and peripherals are also money, how big is this market? Although this is not the only performance in the city, this performance is the most conspicuous and eye-catching among the ranks of performance.
Even if watching a small movie with a helmet angers conservative parents, things can also be exported in exchange for foreign exchange, you must know that in the world economic development is now frustrated, the decline in exports is an inevitable thing, and import and export are the most important part of the three major carriages that drive economic development. Now, helmets have replaced oil as a sort of weapon, and the United States is said to rely on the export of helmets to maintain QE.
Of course, the United States values not only the hardware market, they value this hardware for the Hollywood industry is greatly beneficial, China, the United States and Japan are quite accumulating in the film industry, especially the United States Hollywood, in the commercialization process can be said to be the world's first, hundreds of years of accumulation so that it has a deep heritage, the six major companies took out their classic films and Pandora Company signed a contract, the world's sales of the film is almost equivalent to recreating a global film market, Hollywood's output value has almost doubled as a result, which is probably also the reason why the United States has for Nick. Anderson's business strategy tolerates the fact that China and Japan are film producers, but they are also two of the world's largest consumers of films, so while they produce their own Pandora films, Hollywood is also importing genuine Pandora movies into these two countries.
Japan has unique film and television skills, and Americans are aware of it, but they don't think that animated films and live-action films can form some kind of fierce competition, although they have the unrepeatable Hayao Miyazaki, the short-lived Shoji Murahama, and the money cheating demon Hideaki Anno, etc., but Hollywood has some confidence in the Japanese market. The sudden rise of small films was expected, but this kind of fierce process still shocked the Americans, especially in East Asia, a region that was widely poisoned by Japanese small films, where they had little resistance to conquering cities, and the Chinese government even had to strictly investigate the smuggling of Pandora-format Japanese small films through various channels. Not far behind, the Americans have launched their own adult movie series, which has made Pandora's helmet quite ridiculed in this regard.
The most shocking thing is that China has actually renovated the old movies of the fifties, sixties and seventies in Pandora format, and these old movies have actually achieved good sales, and it is shocking that because of these old movies, Pandora's helmet has unexpectedly opened up the middle-aged and elderly market that was not originally planned, which makes those old men and old ladies who have been out of the times, middle-aged uncles and aunts also begin to enjoy the entertainment experience brought to them by technology. They often use Pandora's helmet with the help of their grandson and son, and after mastering the fixed operation steps, these people can experience the fun of Pandora on their own, just like they used to be able to enjoy penguin chats and online board games through some kind of imitation operation. Watching the news on the Internet, etc., even if they don't know anything about basic computer knowledge, it doesn't stop them from having fun by remembering the steps.
Pandora also welcomes this market expansion. They said that they will add an intelligent auxiliary operating system in the next software upgrade, and the operation of the helmet function can be realized through guΓ² voice control, which will greatly facilitate the elderly and people who are not familiar with computer operation. Hollywood has been similarly inspired, tentatively putting a few older films on the second Pandora-format collaboration list in anticipation of a wave of nostalgia. By this time, China and Japan had already made great strides in using the Pandora format for TV dramas and TV animations.
Following the creation of The King of Fighters 1994, Monty announced that his next work will be to try the Pandora format. It's not just 3D, "The King of Fighters 1995" is therefore stranded, Monty. Ohm will begin the creation of a fighting animation called Death Fantasy. Mitsumi Fukuda naturally expressed support for this plan, and said that it will be made public in a combination of 3D online broadcasting and Pandora format distribution. At the same time, Type-moon announced that the games in the Type-moon series will also be formatted in Pandora, which is equivalent to setting off a big wave in both fields. The impact in East Asia is naturally much greater than Microsoft's announcement of a new generation of Xbox with Pandora technology.
Meantime. The Chinese side is not idle either. China Film Company announced the Pandora plan for the four famous TV series, which can be regarded as a kind of follow-up on Cheng DΓΉ, because the leader said that since we also have technology, others also have technology, why are others ready to make money on the project, and we are motionless?
In fact, it is not motionless, but for a company like China Film Company, the response is so slow. The Wang brothers were already anxious to push their head director to go to Japan to learn how to shoot and produce films in the Pandora format. At the same time, they also want to be able to format the movies in their library Pandora. But doing things in China is always a process of approval and review. China Film Group pondered that it was not good for others to rob the jackpot, and at the same time, it was correct for the sake of politics. After communicating with CCTV, they finally announced the plan to format this exciting four famous novels Pandora. This is absolutely politically correct, whether it is taken to the Ministry of Culture or the General Administration of Press and Publication, it will be properly handled, not to mention radio and television.
But the plan came out, how to do it in the dark. Chairman Han deliberately approached Shen Zhenghui, hoping to get his help, because news has already spread that the prequel to "Magic Apprentice" is the world's first live-action Pandora format movie, which will save too much money than the later conversion to the Pandora format. With the posture of CCTV and China Film that is not bad for money, after seeing the Pandora formatting cost of so many episodes of the post-production of the series, I couldn't help but tremble, Chairman Han even thought, if it really doesn't work, just let Shen Zhenghui spend money to reshoot one of the four famous novels, so maybe the cost is much lower than the conversion.
Shen Zhenghui has completed the filming and post-production of the first part of the prequel to "Magic Apprentice", and is devoting himself to the promotion of the film. According to his estimates, after Karl and Friedrich take over his next work, it is very likely that he will have a long time to spare, and it is a good idea to spend on the four famous books, as long as it is not a dream of the Red Chamber.
"Of course it's not Dream of Red Mansions." Chairman Han said, "What's the meaning of Dream of Red Mansions, miserable and miserable, and it doesn't make sense to read the Pandora format, unless it's a real experiential reader, but how many such readers are there?" The cost of input is so high, if the sales are not good, it will be difficult to recover the cost and the follow-up will be difficult to do, so at the beginning, you must choose the one with the highest popularity and the best sales. β
"Which one is it, then?"
"What do you think of Journey to the West?"
"The TV series version is not complete," Shen Zhenghui shook his head, he has obsessive-compulsive disorder in this regard, "Besides, the old version of the special effects is too poor, there are too many goofs, it is okay to watch on TV, it is almost laughable under the Pandora format, if it is modified, it will be a big trouble, and the energy and time consumed are not cost-effective." β
"Isn't that just the right time to reshoot? Reshoot according to the original book, and you become the director. Chairman Han said immediately.
"I'm a director?" Shen Zhenghui smiled, "After filming these seventy or eighty episodes, how much should I get paid?" β
Chairman Han scratched his head, "This must be hot, you give a discount, and when the time comes, I will give you a share, and it will definitely not be a problem for us to sell 100 million sets, just with your director's brand, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia will definitely sell well, and the United States and Europe may be able to sell a lot." β
Shen Zhenghui waved his hand, "It's okay to make a movie, after these dozens of episodes are filmed, I really can't stand it, according to my obsessive-compulsive disorder requirements, this filming cycle is at least one or two years." β
"Then "Three Kingdoms" or "Water Margin"?"
"'Three Kingdoms'," Shen Zhenghui said, "'Three Kingdoms' is easier to do, and I honestly don't like 'Water Margin' very much." β
"Remake?"
Shen Zhenghui shook his head, "It's okay to transform the system in the later stage," he pursed his lips, "When the time comes, I will communicate with the spring side, and I will personally grasp this project to ensure that it is completed on time." β
"This is great!" Chairman Han was happy, "I promise not to let you suffer a loss, and this superior can also sign a share with you if he agrees." He rubbed his hands again, "Besides, there's something else to trouble you." β
"What?" Shen Zhenghui asked.
"Didn't you make a Pandora-style movie?" Chairman Han tried his best to make himself appear kind and cordial, "We in the Chinese film industry want to learn how this film format is filmed?" Can you provide an opportunity? β
"I didn't shoot the next one," Shen Zhenghui smiled, "Your request was made a little late, and the evaluation of the specific effect and practicality of this Pandora format is being done by the spring and Colombian side to see if this kind of real shooting is cheaper than the later transformation, and it may take a while to have a definite result." β
Chairman Han, who felt that he had been politely rejected, felt a little pity, but his main work had been completed, and as for this entrusted matter, he didn't care so much, so he asked with great interest, "So how much time do you think it will take for the transformation of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to be completed?" He estimated it according to the cycle of other movie transformations, "Why will it take two or three years for 84 episodes, can we do a good job of distributing one episode at a time, so that everyone can buy it without pressure." β
"You are really a good hand," Shen Zhenghui licked his lips, "The front may be a little slower, but the back is faster and faster after modeling, maybe it won't take that long." However, doing one episode and sending one episode is indeed a good trick for you. β
Chairman Han smiled, "I was also forced by my superiors, I want to see the results as much as possible, there is no way!" (To be continued......)
