That day, the three of them chatted until the end of work.

chatted about the details of what they wanted to do, and finally left the online media department at 5.30 on time.

When leaving, Zhang Yang saw Pei Qian look at the time, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

[Unexpectedly, although Mr. Pei has just joined the company, he is willing to make such a big effort. 】

[He should be the same as me, satisfied with today's harvest.] 】

Zhang Yang thought so.

The next day.

Wang Fei had already set off to visit those business companies with which he had dealings, and Pei Qian had also worked tirelessly to visit his cousin.

After bidding farewell to the two, Zhang Yang gave He Jie, Jiang Jiyong, and Fu Tangcheng an appointment to meet in Xuanyu, and the three readily agreed.

Before the appearance of Xuanyu, Haihua's largest film and television companies were Xingguang, Wencheng, and Coast, which were very prestigious in the local area.

Zhang Yang also hoped that they could come forward and help contact other film and television companies.

It's not that he doesn't want to come forward, it's that he rarely stays in the company, and some small studios know him, but he doesn't know these people.

With the help of He Jie and others, you can find all the people without falling behind.

"Three, why do you look a little haggard?"

As soon as they met, Zhang Yang found that the three of them were not in good spirits, as if they had been affected by something.

"Hey."

The three big bosses of the film and television industry hung their heads in frustration, looked at each other, and sighed again.

"What's wrong?"

in the office.

After asking the newly transferred secretary to make tea for the three of them, Zhang Yang pushed the teacup over and asked, "What happened?" ”

The new secretary is a high-achieving student who has just graduated from a famous domestic university.

Because Lin Xiaohan has a closer relationship with herself, Zhang Yang can't bear her working so hard, so she doesn't have to hold this position anymore, and is only responsible for managing the secretarial department and training department, which can be much easier.

Lin Xiaohan has no objection, but the new secretary general is relatively ordinary, and there is no problem in terms of knowledge.

"It's still because of the movie."

After the new secretary left, He Jie, one of the three, opened his mouth to complain.

"Before, several of us partnered to invest in a fantasy movie, and recently the box office has suffered a lot loss, and it is very likely that we will not be able to return to the capital, just because of this matter, I haven't slept well in the past few days, and I have tried my best to reverse the decline."

Zhang Yang had heard about it.

knows that this movie was led by three people, and it took almost 400 million yuan to shoot it, but I haven't seen the specific content, I only know that it is a fantasy film about sword immortals.

When the movie was released, it also set off a round of publicity offensive.

After all, the terrifying box office of "Covering the Sky" in the first half of the year is still vivid, and among the many fantasy movies that have followed the trend, the investment in this movie is high, and judging from the trailer released, the special effects are also very good.

The special effects of the whole movie are excellent, the protagonists are all powerful young actors in the circle, and the supporting cast is also very good, which aroused the expectations of many netizens before the release.

It's just that I didn't expect that I learned from the three of them today that the box office performance didn't seem to be very good.

"The special effects of this movie are good, the actors are also strong, and the plot is also written by a veteran screenwriter in the industry, I originally thought that I could make a lot of money by taking advantage of the trend of fantasy movies, but now during the release period, in addition to the performance of the first two days, the box office performance has plummeted, and it is expected that the end of the screening period may be less than 1 billion."

"We have lost a lot of money at this box office!"

The three of them were sad.

"The main thing is that we can't find the reason for the box office failure yet."

Jiang Ji said with a wry smile: "We shoot completely according to the idea of the blockbuster theory you mentioned before, whether it is props or special effects, we try our best to do our best, but the box office data is very poor." ”

Fu Tang Cheng said worriedly: "In fact, failure is acceptable, after all, we have rarely worked on such a big project before, and the most important thing is to find the reason for failure." That's why I'm worried like this, anyway, I haven't slept for several days, I read reviews on the Internet every day, and I stay up late at night to watch movies, just to find out the reason. ”

"This ......"

Zhang Yang was speechless for a while.

He didn't expect three people

Originally, he still wanted to find three people to help with errands, but looking at the current state of the three of them, if he didn't find out the reason for them, I was afraid that he didn't have this mood.

For the filming of fantasy movies, Zhang Yang still has some experience in asking himself, since he wants them to do things, he should help people solve the trouble first, and it is also a natural thing to try to find the reason.

So, Zhang Yang said: "One person counts the short, and the other counts the field, in this way, I will accompany you to find the reason, did you bring the film?" ”

"Brought!"

The three of them were pleasantly surprised.

In the past few days, the three of them have been busy with this matter, and they just downloaded the source of the film on their mobile phones.

"Just take it, let's go. Let's go to the studio, and I'll help you find out why. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang."

The three big men thanked each other in unison.

Soon, Zhang Yang took them into the viewing room, exported the film source, and began to watch the movie.

The film begins with a narration.

"Three thousand years ago, the Blood Demon was born, swept through the authentic sects of the Xiuzhen Realm, and was finally sealed by the Heavenly Sword Daoist, the head of Shu Mountain. After this battle, the Heavenly Sword Dao was killed, and he had no chance to ascend to the immortal realm.

Before he died, he had predicted that three thousand years later, a peerless genius would appear in the Shushan Sect to kill the Blood Demon and restore the cultivation realm to a clear state. ”

By the end of the previous story.

Just looking at this paragraph, it's a very old-fashioned story, nothing new, and you can't see anything.

On the contrary, it is accompanied by a short animation of the narration to tell this previous love story, which is really a bit of a drama.

The animation is mediocre and not very good-looking, and there is nothing to stand out for.

Zhang Yang couldn't help frowning when he saw it.

He felt that since he wanted to make a synopsis, there was really no need to omit it in this kind of place, and a live-action drama with an inferior animation clip inserted at the beginning really affected the audience's mood.

If he does it, it will definitely be a big battle between the Heavenly Sword Dao and the Blood Demon, the time can be short, but the special effects must be explosive, and it will firmly grasp the audience's eyes from the beginning.

If a fantasy film leaves the audience with a first impression of poor special effects at the beginning, then the audience's sense of expectation for the follow-up will be much lower.

This is also the reason why he used special effects machines when filming "Covering the Sky", in order to take the lead!

Read on.

The screen jumps directly to the Shushan faction.

This is where the special effects come in.

The Shushan faction stands in the void, hundreds of upside-down mountain peaks are suspended in the air, between the peaks and peaks, there are colorful fairy light connections, the green mountains and green waters on the peaks, the cranes surround, the Baizhang Waterfall pours down from the mountain peaks, just like the Nine Heavens Milky Way.

On the top of the mountain peak, the gorgeous hall towers, and the disciples of the Shushan faction fly with the sword between the peaks, and the scene is very gorgeous.

Soon the camera zooms in.

The male protagonist appeared.

The male protagonist was dressed in a white robe, carrying a fairy sword, fluttering like a fairy, flying from the sky in the distance, and landed in front of the main hall.

The actor who plays the male protagonist is a child star debut, handsome and handsome when he grows up, and his star road is open.

After the male protagonist landed, as the senior brother of the Shushan faction, he received an order from the head of the sect to investigate the blood demon seal.

And then the beautiful little sister who is loved on weekdays is also stalking to follow the male protagonist, and by the way, she sees the prosperity of the world.

The head disagreed, but the male protagonist was not in much danger in doing this, and at the same time, his own cultivation was strong and persuaded the master.

Soon, the two of them ate and drank all the way, and left the Shushan faction like a tourist.

On the way, the relationship between the two heated up rapidly, and they no longer flew with the sword, but rode together.

Two of them encounter an unknown evil monk, and the two sides fight.

The little sister dragged her feet in various ways, and the male protagonist took several risks to save her.

Finally, we arrived at the place where the blood demon was sealed.

Because of the delay for too long, the seal was leaked, and the previous evil monk reappeared and broke the seal on the night of the full moon.

Suddenly, the wind and clouds changed, and blood filled the sky.

The blood demon was born, defeated the male protagonist in one move, stared at the little sister at a glance, and set off a killing in the world.

The male protagonist was grief-stricken, endured his grief and carried the little sister back to the door, reporting the news.

The righteous monks assemble and fight the blood demons.

The male protagonist is still immersed in grief, and finally waits until the same door is wiped out, the male protagonist awakens the memory of his previous life, restores his identity as a heavenly sword Taoist in his previous life, fights with the blood demon, kills it, and finally gives up ascending to the fairy world, and stays in front of the tomb of his beloved little sister, lonely.

This is the end of the film.

After reading it, Zhang Yang was speechless for a long time.

The special effects of this movie are really good, but many places are ridiculously bad.

If he were a spectator, he would be disappointed.

At first, he thought that the male protagonist was invincible, but in the end he turned to fatalism, which is something he can't accept.

You were so powerful in your previous life that you could only seal, why can you suddenly rise up and kill your opponent in this life, just because you were reincarnated once?

You haven't regained your previous life's realm, why!

Moreover, the dignified Shushan disciple was so powerful in his previous life, but he was like a weak chicken in the early stage, and he couldn't beat a few evil monks.

The whole movie does not clearly state the realm of cultivation, except for the Blood Demon and the Heavenly Sword Dao Man, the special effects of the others are all about the same.

The head of the sect swept dozens of meters with a sword, and the powerful sword qi hit the mountain wall, but there was no trace.

The disciple of the protagonist also swept dozens of meters with a sword, and the sword qi destroyed the withering and decaying, piercing the stones and breaking the mountain, just to show the status of the male protagonist, he was actually more powerful than the head.

The same trick of ten thousand swords.

The special effects on the male protagonist look much more powerful than those used by the boss.

The most important level of combat power in fantasy movies is blurred here, except from the title, the audience doesn't know whether the male protagonist is a little more powerful or the head is a little more powerful.

Moreover, it is obviously a plot to kill demons and save the world, so I have to add a little sister who is annoying to hold back, just for the love line that is incompatible with the main line, there are still a lot of scenes, highlighting a brainless, which really disgusts audiences who like fantasy movies.

Other than that.

It's obviously a fantasy movie, and it is said that everyone is flying with Edgeworth and crossing the void.

However, there are many scenes of chasing on horseback, running away, and taking a boat to cross the river.

This is a big taboo in Zhang Yang's heart!

Fantasy movies can fly and never have to go, can cross the void, never ride a boat and horse, isn't this the most deserved?

How many years have the fighting horses been sprayed, and the three of them can still make mistakes here, Zhang Yang never expected.

fo

In addition to these points, there are many disadvantages.

The play is weak, it all relies on the real qi to fight, there are many slow motions, the special effects are single, the scene environment feedback is not paid attention to, the interlude and the picture are slightly poorly matched, etc., etc.

Anyway, in Zhang Yang's opinion, this drama is really not worth watching.

Although it can be seen from the special effects, props, costumes, and actors that a lot of money has been spent, the plot is too crotch-pulling.

For the sake of hard work, 60 points, barely passing, one more point is too much.

As the lights turned on, the four exited the viewing room.

On the way back to the office, Zhang Yang tried to organize the language, but he didn't know where to start for a while.

Sitting on the sofa, facing the expectant gazes of the three people, Zhang Yang pondered and pondered, his lips squirmed and squirmed, and finally turned into a long sigh.

He was silent, his expression was solemn, and the three people on the other side couldn't help it when they saw him like this, and He Jie shouted: "What the hell is going on, Mr. Zhang?" You speak! ”

"It's hard to put into words."

Zhang Yang smiled bitterly: "From my point of view, this play has many shortcomings. ”

"Let's say, the animation at the beginning ......"

From the beginning to the end, and from the details to the overall situation, Zhang Yang said all the shortcomings he thought in one breath.

Before they were in the bureau, the authorities were fascinated.

blindly thought that there was a problem with the special effects, actors, and plot directions, and I didn't see these details clearly at all.

Now that Zhang Yang has mentioned the points one by one, he has all discovered these points that he usually ignores, and he can't help but nod his head again and again, feeling that he is very reasonable.

After talking for about ten minutes, seeing that the faces of the three of them were not very good-looking, Zhang Yang stopped complaining and comforted: "I just said the problem from my own point of view, it may not be correct, don't take it to heart." ”

"These problems are actually obvious, but we haven't found them, and after you pointed them out, we found the problem, and Mr. Zhang has a good eye." The three of them said ashamedly.

"Don't say that. Before, you were a fan of the authorities, so you didn't see these points clearly, but I look at the problem from the perspective of an outsider, and naturally I can see it more clearly than you. ”

"Mr. Zhang, don't comfort us, we only thought about special effects before, but ignored these details, and after you pointed it out, we found that it was indeed these things that affected the whole film."

"Details determine success or failure, and we have learned this lesson."

“......”

Then we chatted for a while.

Finally, the three of them looked much better, and they also regained their confidence when they looked at it.

Seeing this, Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that the three of them would be hit.

After all, the investment in this movie is also a big investment for the three companies, and the box office loss is like this, not to mention that it hurts the muscles and bones, but it also has a good feeling.

However, the three of them are also film and television tycoons, and their mental quality is better than he imagined.

Before, he had been confused and couldn't find an exit, but now he said it, understood the reason for the failure, and quickly recovered, refreshed, and talked in an orderly manner.

Seeing this, Zhang Yang also put his mind at ease.

"In this way, I will be relieved, and I will learn a lesson in the future, and sooner or later I will make a better movie."

Without stimulating them again, Zhang Yang asked someone to make hot tea again.

Drinking tea, chatting for a while, seeing that the time was ripe, Zhang Yang got down to business.

"I asked you to come here, but I actually asked for something."

"Oh?"

He Jie was puzzled: "The Xuanyu family has a big business, I don't know what we can help?" Despite the opening. ”

The other two also looked at Zhang Yang suspiciously.

Zhang Yang took a sip of tea and explained the reason.

"I recently acquired Rakuten Video, but the website is missing a batch of new dramas, and I want to collect a batch of dramas from Haihua's local film and television companies to prepare for the launch of the website, but there are many local film and television company owners, and I have no contact information, so I want you to help me."

"No problem, we've got it covered."

"It's just that the quality of the dramas in the hands of these companies is average, and if the fantasy video is accepted, won't it affect the development of the website?"

They also knew that Xuan Fantasy Video was acquired by Xuan Yu, and they had discussed it privately, and when they saw that Zhang Yang wanted to help, they patted their chests and assured them, and even thanked him for explaining the film and thinking about him.

"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements."

Zhang Yang said with a smile.

It is not possible to rely on these dramas to attract users, he just buys it to fill the website, and he has to rely on himself to attract users.

"Now that you know what to expect, then we're relieved. Leave the contact person to us, and make sure that all the people are called. ”

Seeing that he knew what to expect, the three of them were relieved.

Seeing that the matter was done, he did not waste his own efforts to solve their doubts, and Zhang Yang immediately set the time and place.

"Trouble the three of you, the location will be set in the Xuanyu Conference Room, and the time will be set the day after tomorrow."
