Chapter 0765 Opening Mines
"Mr. Han."
Fan Wenlong followed Han Lan into the office and just sat down, Qi Shan and Kong Xiujie also knocked on the door and came in.
Tomahawk Films' "Kung Fu Film Triumvirate" reunites here.
"Sit, sit." Han Lan greeted with a smile, and the secretary also brought them coffee.
"What did I come to you for today, I believe that Mr. Meng of Tomahawk Pictures also told you, you are also the top in kung fu movies, and I am not worried about the movies you made. Today, I mainly want to remind you again. We used "Huo Yuanjia" to create the era of kung fu films, and now I think this work will become a new symbol of kung fu films. ”
The three of them were slightly stunned and nodded very seriously.
"Brother Long, this time I asked Tan Lao to help you find a master is a member of the Ye family, I believe you have more or less heard some things from the master when you practiced boxing there. So, you want to come in handy when making a movie. ”
"Hmm."
"The style of the movie must continue our previous real fights, and there can be some innovation, but don't change the style of painting, it's easy to collapse. Lao Qi, you just finished filming "Those Years", don't bring the tone of campus youth love over. ”
"Hahaha, no, Mr. Han." Qi Shan and Kong Xiujie smiled and waved their hands.
Han Lan smiled and told them some more thoughts and suggestions about the movie. Naturally, the three of them took notes carefully.
From Han Lan's attitude, they can also see how important this movie is, and Han Lan doesn't seem to be involved in the filming, so he can only give them some guidance in the planning stage, and the specific implementation still depends on their strength and performance.
Fortunately, this is not the first time. With the successful experience of "Jingwu Chen Zhen" before, the three of them are not panicking at all now.
talked about the movie roughly, and Han Lan didn't continue to leave them to chat, and let them go back and think about it by themselves.
After sending off Qi Shan, Kong Xiujie, and Fan Wenlong, Han Lan continued to approve the "homework" submitted by Tomahawk Pictures and Tomahawk Animation.
After the last meeting, Tomahawk Pictures held three more meetings in a row, and finally the movie was decided.
In addition to the established two movies "Ip Man" and "Oblivion", this year will also project "Zhuxian 2". In other words, Han Lan needs to make time to participate.
Then in addition to these three movies, the construction of the "Liaozhai Universe" that Han Lan gave them was also handed over to the third version.
Han Lan has the impression that in her previous life, she mentioned that Liaozhai was basically a supernatural story, but in fact, if it was to be developed into a "Liaozhai universe", it would definitely not be filmed as a horror movie, but should try to get closer to the direction of fantasy and weirdness.
On the one hand, the audience of horror films is smaller than fantasy, the market is relatively small, and the follow-up development of peripheral products is not easy to sell.
On the other hand, horror films and supernatural stories are not easy to pass the review in China, and they are easy to be stuck after filming and cannot be released. If it's just a single film, at most it's just a waste of film investment, but like this, you have to rely on several movies to build a whole universe, as long as one movie is stuck, it will affect the construction of the entire universe.
It hurts a lot.
Therefore, when taking materials from the original book "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", Tomahawk Pictures tried to avoid ghosts and chose monsters, or adapted them like Nie Xiaoqian, so that female ghosts were bound to animals and plants and became banshees. He even summed up a law of the universe: "After death, when a person's soul is attached to an animal, it becomes a demon, if it is attached to a plant, it becomes a spirit, if it is attached to an object, it becomes a monster, if it is attached to a person, it becomes a demon, and if it does not attach to a spirit, it becomes a ghost." ”
In addition, a lot of human masters like Yan Chixia have been added for balance.
Moreover, according to the various geographical coordinates and timelines of the original work, the Ming Dynasty was used as a template to re-erect an ancient world, and the plot was also connected through some secondary creations.
In this way, it is no longer just a story, but presents a bizarre and different world for the audience.
And since they are in the same world, the protagonists of several different movies may also meet in the future and collide with new stories.
What can be mined in this is not comparable to a "A Chinese Ghost Story" series, which is enough for Tomahawk Pictures to develop for decades.
In the same way, the same is true for the Tomahawk anime.
Through the research and development of the ancient book "Romance of the Gods", a universe of gods and demons has been constructed, and there are more things that can be mined here.
Nezha, Jiang Ziya, Su Daji, Yang Jian, Lei Zhenzi...... The stories of these characters alone are enough for them to make several animated films.
And then there are also a variety of peripheral product development and authorization, as long as the operation is good, it is an inexhaustible wealth password!
Of course, for Han Lan, the construction of these two complete universes is not just to sell peripheral records, but a complete and mature cosmology, which can make it more convenient to develop something else.
For example, games.
……
……
"Mr. Han, games and our traditional entertainment industry are completely different things, we don't have any experience in this area at all, if we want to enter, I'm afraid it will be very difficult."
"Now that the pattern of the domestic game industry has basically been finalized, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to develop it ourselves, if we must make games, I think it is better to license it to domestic game manufacturers, or jointly develop with them."
"yes, yes."
In the conference room of the Tomahawk Group, most of the executives obviously did not agree with Han Lan's idea of entering the game industry.
Making games is not the same as doing animation, although they are both new fields, but animation is also considered a film and television field, and having a Tomahawk Pictures is equivalent to having a ticket. For example, "A Chinese Ghost Story" produced by Tomahawk Pictures before is actually an animation in terms of category.
And the game, the Tomahawk Group is almost blank in this area.
It's not that you can't do the game, but you don't have to enter it yourself.
In order to make a game, it is obviously very unwise to set up a game company to grab the cake with the domestic game manufacturers, and it is easy to get into the quagmire, and eventually either break your legs to survive and abandon the newly built game company and withdraw from the game field in embarrassment, or you can only keep throwing money into it to spend with them.
Just like when Shuangmu Group entered the entertainment industry, it consumed tens of billions of resources before and after to have today's Shuangmu Entertainment.
The Tomahawk Group is not a capital predator like the Shuangmu Group now, and it really can't afford to play!
