Chapter 380: Adaptation
Fang Ping nodded: "Well, the momentum of the Plants vs. Zombies fire has already begun to take shape. So I'm going to develop Plants vs. Zombies merch. ”
"Merchandise?" Mr. Liang was stunned and said a little suspiciously.
"Yes, merchandise!"
Fang Ping affirmed: "Costumes, prop models, game dolls, and so on, like Plants vs. Zombies. ”
"In addition, I also plan to carry out in-depth development based on the IP of Plants vs. Zombies and adapt it into a movie."
Mr. Liang and Su Xiaoxiao looked at each other, Plants vs. Zombies was on fire, and Fang Ping wanted to develop a series of peripheral products based on the game, which was understandable.
Almost a lot of game companies play like this.
And with the popularity of Plants vs. Zombies, peripheral products have been developed and will definitely sell well.
The only thing they didn't understand was that Fang Ping was going to adapt Plants vs. Zombies into a movie.
To be honest, the game was adapted into a movie, and it was no stranger to them.
Because in the gaming industry, there are many examples of games being adapted into movies, like Street Fighter, Mario Bros., Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, and many more.
But there aren't many games that can be successfully adapted.
Count on and count, and it's just a few games.
After most of the games were adapted into movies, they all rushed to grandma's house, not to mention losing money, and were scolded by users.
It can be said that adapting the game into a movie is an obvious thankless task.
The most important thing is that YY is not a professional game company, and the biggest role of Plants vs. Zombies is to attract users for YY, improve user viscosity, and resist the suppression of instant messaging software such as MSN.
Unlike those game companies, they adapt games into movies and take the opportunity to raise the profile of their own companies.
So there's no need for Plants vs. Zombies to be adapted into a movie.
After a long while, Su Xiaoxiao saw that Mr. Liang was silent, and then hesitated a little and said: "Boss, it doesn't seem too necessary for us to adapt Plants vs. Zombies into a movie, right?" ”
"You can't make much money from a game adaptation into a movie, and we don't need to borrow the name of a game adaptation to increase the influence of Plants vs. Zombies!"
"That's right! Mr. Fang, I think it's okay to develop Plants vs. Zombies peripheral products, as for adapting them into movies..."Mr. Liang echoed on the side, and he didn't finish his words, but the meaning was very clear.
Fang Ping shook his head: "Wrong, it is very necessary to adapt Plants vs. Zombies into a movie. And even if you lose money, you have to do it. ”
"I have to invite top screenwriters, directors, actors, etc., to strive to make the Plants vs. Zombies movie adaptation more perfect!"
"Uh, boss, I don't quite understand what you mean!" Su Xiaoxiao was a little puzzled.
Mr. Liang was also a little confused, and he didn't know why Fang Ping knew that adapting Plants vs. Zombies into a movie was thankless, and he still had to do it. And listening to him, it's not a small fight, but a huge amount of money to build.
Fang Ping said meaningfully: "It's very simple, the fire of Plants vs. Zombies overseas, not only the popularity of the game to achieve our strategic purpose, but also the fire of Plants vs. Zombies, which drives the export of Chinese culture." ”
"That's the most important thing!"
As soon as he said this, whether it was Su Xiaoxiao or Mr. Liang, they all reacted at once, and they and others watched the popularity of Plants vs. Zombies, and what they saw was interests.
Fang Ping's mind is ambitious, and from behind the popularity of Plants vs. Zombies, he has seen a series of Chinese-style cultural outputs in the game.
and the explosive influence of Plants vs. Zombies, which plays an important role in promoting cultural export.
In other words, Fang Ping's game adaptation is to adapt it into a movie on the basis of Plants vs. Zombies, and further increase cultural output with the help of the game's popularity.
Thinking of this, Su Xiaoxiao and the others were a little embarrassed and said: "The boss (Mr. Fang) is still you with a lofty pattern and a broad vision..."
"Ahem, don't shoot the sycophants, it's just an idea now, and the specifics depend on the implementation!" Fang Ping touched his nose and coughed dryly.
Mr. Liang hurriedly said: "Mr. Fang, if there is anything I need to contribute, just ask." I'm going to do my best. ”
Su Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, but her firm face was already an attitude.
Fang Ping nodded, and after greeting Mr. Liang, he said, "Mr. Liang, the peripheral products of Plants vs. Zombies will be handed over to you." Once the physical merchandise is made, it will be hung on YY and sold. ”
"In the future, payment will be used as an overseas payment channel."
"Of course, in addition to physical peripherals, YY also has to open a series of virtual peripherals, such as wallpapers of Plants vs. Zombies, avatars, and so on!"
"Yes, Mr. Fang, I'll do this when I go back!" Mr. Liang said seriously.
Fang Ping nodded slightly, looked at Su Xiaoxiao again, and ordered: "Xiaoxiao, about the movie adaptation of Plants vs. Zombies, it is up to you to communicate with Mr. Lu of Future Entertainment." ”
"You tell him, don't be afraid to spend money, hire the best screenwriters, directors, actors. Strive to make the adapted movie into a masterpiece. ”
"Okay, Boss!" After Su Xiaoxiao agreed, her face was hesitant.
Fang Ping's eyes were sharp, and he was a little surprised: "What?" Any questions? ”
"What about this adaptation fund?!"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Fang Ping and reminded: "Future Technology is a joint-stock company, and Future Entertainment is a subsidiary of Future Technology. Once we go and adapt the game into a movie regardless of the cost. ”
"I'm afraid that other shareholders will have opinions!"
Actually, she said it very tactfully.
She knows very well that once this matter is revealed, other shareholders will not have opinions, but will make a fuss.
Because those shareholders will feel that Fang Ping is taking the investor's money and going to waste.
In fact, adapting a game into a movie regardless of the cost is itself a waste of money.
Although she agrees with Fang Ping's idea of taking the opportunity to export culture abroad, she doesn't think that the movie adapted from the game can be popular.
No, don't talk about fire, it's even quite difficult to recover costs.
So she felt that it was necessary to remind Fang Ping before these things happened, and try to avoid some unnecessary troubles for the sake of planning.
Fang Ping understood in seconds, and muttered: "That's it! You told Mr. Lu that the funds for the game's adaptation into a movie were personally funded by me. ”
"Preliminarily, I gave him a budget of 100 million US dollars, which is not enough, and can be added at any time."
"Let him rest assured and do it boldly!"
I'll go, a budget of 100 million dollars is not enough, and I have to add it at any time!!
Mr. Liang's eyes widened, he originally thought that Fang Ping's adaptation of Plants vs. Zombies into a movie had already attached great importance to cultural output, but he didn't expect to pay attention to it to this point.
A budget of 100 million dollars!
Not to mention in China, even in the international film circle, they are all big productions.
This news, once it is revealed, I am afraid that the entire entertainment industry will go crazy.
However, Su Xiaoxiao has never cared about spending money on things, only caring about spending money and whether he can achieve the purpose of the style, so he knew everything about it, and nodded: "Okay, when the time comes, I will tell Mr. Lu what you said, boss!" ”
"By the way, how did the crazy stone shoot go?" Fang Ping instructed two more sentences, and suddenly remembered something and asked.
Su Xiaoxiao thought about it and said with some uncertainty: "It seems to be almost over!" ”
"What, it's almost over?" Fang Ping stared.
