Chapter 300: Explosive Efficiency
Qu Xiang once again felt that Dunhuang's temperament was completely different from that of the Five Greats. Dee
——The next day, the project she "handily" pulled to Dunhuang was put on the approval agenda!
First of all, of course, it was up to her to give a more detailed introduction to the project.
And Wang Wei listened thoughtfully.
One thing is very interesting - in both planes, the idea of transforming toys started in the island country next door, and it was not very popular in the island country at first.
It's just that in the current time and space, there are more variables of Huaguo's early rise, so it has been introduced by Hasbro in the United States and Huaguo's new house toys for localized adaptation, and "Transformers" is not called "Transformers" anymore-
The localization of the United States, combined with its heyday car culture, naturally became the carrier of the deformation, and the title became "car man"; The localization of Xinwu toys surprised Wang Weidu, and the carriers of deformation all became violent machines with abundant martial virtues such as tanks, warships and warplanes, hence the name "Transformation Warrior"!
And after listening to Qu Xiang's detailed narration, Wang Wei finally knew why the film adaptation copyright that he imagined should have been fought over by the five giants had fallen to the point where almost no one cared about it. Dee
The first is the death of the new house toys themselves - they think that the old series of "Transforming Warriors" has little potential to dig up, so they simply let the cartoons that promote the toys "die" a batch of old toys in order to launch new "Transformation Warriors"; As a result, the audience didn't buy it, and the sales of "Transformation Warrior" plummeted......
This is only one of them, and more importantly, the difficulty of the film adaptation.
After listening to this, Wang Chuanqi nodded,
"I can understand Lianya Entertainment's choice very well, if I have so many popular IPs on hand, I can't look down on the copyright of this toy animation adaptation;"
"Not to mention the rest, can the current special effects technology really make it into a live-action movie?"
Of course, he knows that today's special effects production technology is advancing by leaps and bounds, but it also means a huge investment in development.
Take "Jurassic Park" that Wang Wei is producing, for example, the clips with real dinosaurs only account for about one-ninth of the total length of the film, but the special effects investment accounts for more than one-third of the production cost; Dee
This is still Wang Wei's clever use of CG and solid models, and the length of CG lenses is limited; And what about the film adaptation of a shape-shifting toy? CG effects are needed almost from beginning to end, and this is thrown into the sea!
Rather than the development cost of the sky, it is the toys that are the highlights of the surrounding areas, and the new house company must occupy the majority - the pay and the gain are so unequal, and there is no shortage of IP with full copyright in the hands of the five majors, why bother to pay attention to it?
】
To put it simply, this seems to be a project that a small company cannot afford to develop, and a large company "tasteless".
"We don't have to care about other people's ideas."
Shen Zhenyi put her hands on her cheeks and answered,
"To put it bluntly, there are two keys to whether this project can be launched - one is the commercial potential, and the other is whether we can adapt it well;"
"And the latter determines the evaluation of the former - only when it is adapted, can the theoretical business potential be truly poached;" Dee
"So, at the end of the day, can we make a good film adaptation?"
With her words, everyone's eyes fell on Wang Wei.
- The adaptation of animation into a live-action movie is originally a pit, and this kind of animation adaptation of the protagonist is not strictly human, but a pit within a pit!
If it is put on the agenda by ordinary people, it will be rejected at this first level.
But since it is Wang Wei, everyone has inexplicably a little more confidence.
Wang Wei didn't say anything,
"It doesn't matter if the technology is not mature enough, we can win the adaptation copyright first, and as for the specific adaptation work, leave it to me!" Dee
- Although the movie adaptation of "Transformers" in this life is definitely very different from the previous life, with the memories of his past life from rave reviews to rave reviews to rave reviews as a reference, he has a greater grasp of the adaptation than anyone else.
Sure enough—
"With your words, we have a lot of confidence in winning the adaptation copyright!"
Lao Wang clapped his hands and said,
"Then what we have to consider now is how to quickly get the adaptation copyright."
Everyone understands what he meant.
Although, now there are few companies that are optimistic about the film copyright of "Transforming Warrior", but if you hear that Dunhuang is interested, especially Wang Wei, it is obvious that you will eat back grass. Dee
After all, Wang Wei's reputation for "discerning pearls" has long been recognized!
For Dunhuang, it is best to finalize the copyright ownership with lightning speed.
Normally, this is hard; After all, the copyright owner is not a fool, isn't it more fragrant to use Dunhuang to raise prices?
Fortunately, there is Qu Xiang's lead.
"The new house company also has a lot of requirements for film adaptation, right?" Lao Wang turned his head and asked Qu Xiang.
"Yes, new housing companies have demands for investment budgets and revenue sharing...... This is also an important reason for Asialink to give up copyright. Qu Xiang said without concealment.
This is also very understandable, for the new house company, shooting live-action movies is nothing more than to make toys sell better, if there is no abundant budget, there is no relatively sure adaptation, it is better to continue to hold the copyright in their own hands. Dee
Frankly speaking, if Dunhuang is just an ordinary second-tier film company, Xinwu Company is afraid that it is completely dismissive of Dunhuang's olive branch - if they choose between the Big Five and Dunhuang, they will definitely trust the powerful Big Five;
Now the situation is different: Wang Wei dares to make promises, and the key is that they dare to believe it; And "My Neighbor Totoro" has killed all sides in the periphery, which proves that Dunhuang has the strength to make a big derivative cake......
This gives Dunhuang a chance to cut the mess quickly!
Other people, you say everything from the guarantees that can be given, the benefits that can be conceded, and the bottom line that must be adhered to...... Help to supplement various negotiation details.
It didn't take long for a consensus to reach a consensus - to win the copyright of the film adaptation, start the project preparation according to the progress of special effects technology, and Wang Wei agreed to be the first producer......
Qu Xiang was a little stunned.
She finally realized what kind of business she was joining! Dee
The same project, placed in Lianya Entertainment, or any of the other four majors, even if it is given the green light, must be subject to layers of scrutiny and rounds of quarrels;
This is not just because of the bureaucracy that prevails within any behemoth – Dunhuang cannot be considered a "small company" by any means;
What's more, the Big Five don't have Wang Wei who "thinks he can definitely do it, and then quickly proves that he can do it"!
When the efficiency of the table is exploded, it is not difficult to imagine that when you meet the right person, you can create miracles repeatedly!
This matter has been edified a lot, the cohesion will explode, and the combat effectiveness will naturally explode!
Luckily, I'm on this boat!
Qu Xiang suddenly thought with some joy. Dee
