Chapter 298: Two Billion Box Office
In his previous life, Xiao Ran first read Xiangjiang's comics, and then he came into contact with the comics of the island country, and finally when Guoman began to rise, Xiao Ran began to come into contact with Guoman, such as the three "Mr. Marvel", "Ace Royal History" and "Monster List" that he handed over to Yimeng Studio to produce zuò are Xiao Ran's works that Xiao Ran felt that the rise of Guoman in his previous life, both in terms of painting skills and plot, have begun to mature.
And what makes Xiao Ran feel the most regrettable is actually Xiangjiang Comics, because Xiangjiang Comics once really had the possibility of surpassing the comics of the island country, but for various reasons, they finally lost such an opportunity!
For example, in order to feed the entire publishing house and comic company, many works simply keep fighting non-stop, using fights to drag out the plot, and as a result, a comic has been serialized for more than ten years or even more than twenty years, and there are more than ten years of serialized plots in these serialized contents, which make people want to vomit blood and die!
Of course, such problems actually happened from time to time after the heyday of island manga, especially "One Piece" and "Naruto", although Xiao Ran didn't watch it, but he also heard that the water was a mess in the later period, and a series of memories made readers want to die, but they couldn't bear to give up.
After all, whether it is a comic or a novel or a movie, it is natural to pay attention to readers and audiences if you can insist on seeing the later stage, and when it comes to the later stage, you naturally want to see a happy ending in your mind.
But I can only say that I am too naïve, and I didn't expect that I thought that there was only about a tenth of the plot left, but I was usually dragged to the end more disgusting than the old woman's footcloth: stinky and long!
This kind of situation actually happens in the online novel industry, and Xiao Ran often sees some novels when they have good grades. I kept trying to fill it with water, but the water was more powerful than the nutrients. In the end, the author made money, but many new readers saw tens of millions of words at every turn. And when some words are more than 10 million words, they just give up watching......
So this kind of behavior is undoubtedly overdrawing the popularity of the author himself, and by the time of the second part, many readers have been frightened, and it is normal that they will not dare to read it anymore, so the author will naturally hit the street, so he warns others everywhere that if a novel becomes popular, don't finish it. I'd rather break the update than finish it!
Because once the book is finished, one day the new book hits the street, then there is no way to eat and eat the grass back, but even if it is broken, as long as the new book does not do well, there can still be a place to maneuver, but in fact, this practice is disrespectful to paying readers, and it is also an irresponsible expression!
Even in his previous life, Xiao Ran had been in the online literature circle for more than five years, and knew that many authors made millions last year. But this year, when there are only seven or eight hundred thousand left, it will feel like the sky is falling, crying and shouting everywhere that they have hit the street and gone downhill. In the future, I will never give up the books with good grades and start new books.
But in fact, opening a new book is risky and rewarding. If you can't bear the risk of hitting the streets, you won't have a chance to become the supreme god.
Besides, the plot that should be written in a book is finished. It should be left to finish as normal, rather than flooding it all the time. A work that had a chance to become a masterpiece was brutally broken into a garbage work in the mouth of readers.
So those so-called little gods who earned millions last year, and seven or eight hundred thousand this year, it seems that they can't survive, if they have such a posture, then they will be very painful for the rest of their lives.
This is the status quo of online novel authors, but after all, online novels are just between a person and a website, but the creative team of comics has always been more than one person, some mature publishing houses or comic companies, usually in addition to the chief writer and editor-in-chief, there are also reviewers, clerks and a lot of other people, so usually many comics have been dragged on the grounds that one has to feed so many people!
Although this reason is much more sufficient than that of the author of the online novel, it does not mean that readers will tolerate their behavior of constantly injecting water into the work, because this behavior will undoubtedly let the audience see that the work is full of content that is not related to the main plot, for example, the best way to inject water now is to add villains, keep fighting, and the villain Xiaoqiang who can't be killed no matter how he fights, and there are a lot of women, or a lot of memories, which are the most fatal!
Therefore, in Xiao Ran's opinion, if many Xiangjiang comics can reduce the meaningless plot, coupled with the more and more mature modern painting skills and techniques, the effect is not necessarily worse than that of the comics in the island country.
Especially the first work chosen by Xiao Ran "The Wind and Cloud Dominates the World", Xiao Ran feels that the plot of this comic is very compact, and it can become very interesting as long as it is slightly modified, which is why the previous life Fengyun series can be so popular, whether every audience is watching comics, TV series or movies, they can be moved by the dazzling fights and characters, divine soldiers and martial arts, and it has naturally become a classic of the times!
However, the problem of "Crazy Boy" is bigger, because there are several times more characters in the original comics than in the movie, so according to the drawing method of the original book, plus what kind of ranking battles in the rivers and lakes, and what kind of alliance conference fights, it will only make readers completely numb, and there is no benefit!
So Xiao Ran's approach is to combine the plot of the movie, delete some of the characters' side plots, and put the main plot on the characters in the movie, for example, the pheasant naturally can't blind him, and he can't make him a villain, Ding Yao still just follows the movie's death method, as for the nest skin, he also let him die to protect Chen Haonan's group, not like in the comics, and finally the nest skin was hit by a truck and killed after betraying Chen Haonan, of course, it seems that the character who only appeared in the fifth part of the movie is not necessary to modify, and in the end, let him end up with one of the comics......
Such a modification can reduce the serialization of the "Crazy Boy" series for more than 20 years, Xiao Ran doesn't want readers in this world to watch "Crazy Boy" for more than 20 years like in his previous life......
Of course, there is another problem that Xiao Ran wants to reduce the number of times the knives and guns appear in "Crazy Boy", and it is already a way of describing blood at every turn, although that kind of painting is really very Jianghu, but it is too violent, although there is a certain freedom of publication in this world, but Xiao Ran doesn't want this series to become a comic that teaches bad guys again, especially many plots in the movie Xiao Ran has also done a certain amount of processing!
The two Xiangjiang comics, Xiao Ran handed them over to the two studios to deal with, and in addition to fully exerting their potential, it is actually a kind of water test, he wants to see if the Xiangjiang comics will become more popular in this world, and they can even be compared with the comics of the island country, which is why Xiao Ran is reluctant to take out the island comics immediately!
After the meeting, Xiao Ran sent the comic outline of "Crazy Boy" to Ma Keke, and the outline of "Storm and Storm Dominating the World" was also sent to Tianxuan Studio, and then he immediately left the office, because he knew very well that if he stayed any longer, it would not be a place to stay for a long time, because under Ma Keke's constant overtures, Xiao Ran was actually a little tempted!
Xiao Ran is not a saint after all, a big beauty stands in front of him, constantly courting him, and saying that she is his loyal fan, no one can resist this kind of practice!
So Xiao Ran can only choose to stay away, because he must abide by his promise, he has no chance to enjoy the blessings of all people in this life, leave it to the next life......
……
November 20th.
Xiao Ran's "The Gambler", which was released in full, has finally been drawn, and the movie has achieved a box office record of just over 2 billion yuan in the mainland of China alone, becoming a mark of the times!
Before that, a movie can break the box office of one billion and can go down in film history forever, so you can imagine how sensational it will be when the box office results of "The Gambler" come out.
Although some people commented that this is just a very ordinary commercial gambling film, and it is not eligible to get such a high box office, but in fact, the box office of the movie is so high, the audience is willing to buy tickets to watch it, and after watching it, it is enough to feel that it is enough to be entertained, and it is a little ridiculous to talk about whether it is qualified or not!
However, Xiao Ran knew that people with red eyes always appeared, so it was enough for him to try his best to be himself, and he didn't pay attention to others.
So when "The Gambler" was being released and the box office exceeded one billion, Xiao Ran had already begun to shoot the next classic Jianghu movie "The True Color of Heroes".
Although Xiao Ran took the time to participate in the semi-finals of the 3rd The Voice of China as a guest guest, and also appeared to sing, the movie was still filmed as scheduled, and the premiere was held just in time for November 18th!
At the premiere on the same day, Lei Xiaohu, who became popular with the role of gambler Chen Xiaodao, became the focus of attention of the audience.
Although this dress will only look very underwhelming on some people's bodies, Lei Xiaohu's handsome face and chic smile on his face can support his own dress, and finally at the premiere, Lei Xiaohu and Xiao Yuanshan's master and apprentice competed to shoot and disassemble firearms, which is very in line with the theme of the movie.
Of course, there are also some other programs, and Xiao Ran is now more and more familiar with the business of arranging the premiere, so the whole scene is in a very lively atmosphere.
The audience and media reporters who have watched the premiere of the movie have praised it, which also makes the movie not yet released nationwide, but it has accumulated a lot of praise, especially on the movie review websites Douban sauce and Time.com, someone has already scored five stars, and wrote an evaluation of watching the movie personally!
