Chapter 267: A large number of IPs
Zhao Ye took advantage of the fact that he had more time now and planned to create some new super IPs.
He first typed the following on the computer: "

"With so many IPs, it's dizzying!" Zhao Ye looked at the dense content, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking to himself, if he let himself create these IP contents, when would he have to do it~
However, these IP contents, others will not!
After thinking about it, Zhao Ye still set a plan for himself, about half a month to write an IP.
You can write 2 IPs a month, which is 24 IPs a year.
Of course, Zhao Ye only made the general framework of the IP, and the specific content needs to be improved by more professional personnel.
With so many super IPs, why can't the entertainment industry of Wujiang Group develop!
……
……
Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio.
"Zhao Dong, I think if you blindly remove Marvel's superheroes, then it may cause disgust among Marvel fans in the United States, which will lead to a decline in comic sales!"
"I know Zhao Dong, you don't care about money, and it doesn't matter if the sales of Marvel Comics have decreased, but this is not conducive to our export of Chinese culture to the United States."
"The better Marvel's sales, the more conducive it will be for us to borrow chickens and eggs to launch our Chinese superheroes and promote Chinese culture!"
Creative director Chen Wenhan found Zhao Ye at this time and said his thoughts.
Zhao Ye pondered for a while, then nodded, indicating that he agreed with the other party's point of view.
"Well, what you said does make sense, we can't just go to Marvel. Marvel is a great platform for Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio to 'borrow chickens and eggs' and hatch our own superheroes! The better Marvel does, the more our own superheroes will be seen by more audiences, and then slowly accept it! Zhao Ye said.
"Yes, Dong Zhao, that's what I meant! Also, I already have some ideas for building our own superheroes...... "Chan said.
"Oh, tell me about it!" Zhao Ye smiled and motioned for Chen Wenhan to continue.
"Zhao Dong, that's what I think...... For many foreigners, Chinese Kung Fu is very mysterious and powerful, so our superhero can be a martial arts master! ”
When Zhao Ye heard this, he frowned slightly, and said suspiciously: "Director Chen, American superheroes are either mutated or high-tech, and our country's superheroes only know martial arts, isn't this a bit too stretched?" ”
Chen Wenhan said with a smile: "Zhao Dong, the martial arts I am talking about are not the traditional martial arts in our real life, but the kung fu in martial arts. ”
"If it is made into a movie in the future, wouldn't it be more interesting to add a lot of kung fu elements to Marvel movies?"
"The most important thing is that this can make many foreigners interested in Chinese kung fu, and even come to China to travel and apprentice......"
In addition, the film can add the plot of traditional Chinese medicine treatment in the martial arts world, such as the magic of true qi healing and acupuncture, which can definitely make foreigners stunned. In this way, it will also help Wujiang Group to sell Chinese patent medicines all over the world in the future. ”
Chen Wenhan talked eloquently.
When Zhao Ye heard this, he nodded secretly in his heart.
Chinese kung fu itself is very attractive to foreigners, if the kung fu in martial arts is moved to the screen, wouldn't foreigners be stunned when they see it?
Chinese kung fu is so awesome?
Chen Wenhan paused, and then said: "Of course, in addition to martial arts masters, superheroes can also be mythical and ghost characters, and even we can play mutation and high-tech ...... However, I think that superheroes who know Chinese kung fu may be more favored and curious by foreigners. ”
After Chen Wenhan finished speaking, he picked up the water glass, took a sip, and looked at Zhao Ye.
Zhao Ye smiled: "Director Chen, your idea is very good, just do what you think." Let's try to launch one or two Chinese superheroes first and see if Marvel fans can accept it. At the same time, you can pick a Marvel superhero for film and television adaptation. By the way, I also have to buy some well-known superhero characters back. If we make the big Marvel project a fire, the company with the Marvel character will sit back and enjoy it and add competitors! ”
As long as Hollywood studios are not allowed to make Marvel movies, Zhao Ye has nothing to worry about.
As long as Hollywood's films can't compete with the films of Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio, Hollywood will decline sooner or later.
When Chen Wenhan heard this, he thought for a while and suggested: "Dong Zhao, I suggest taking the lead in adapting Spider-Man, because this character has the most fans!" ”
"Well, no problem, but when the movie is adapted, you can try to add two characters who know Chinese kung fu."
Zhao Ye thought for a while and said, "One is the Huoyun Evil God, who is fast enough to catch bullets, and thinks that 'the world's martial arts are invincible, only fast and unbreakable', and he is the ultimate killer king on the rivers and lakes!" In the sixties and seventies of the twentieth century, Spider-Man chased the bad guys and came to Hong Kong, but accidentally provoked the Huoyun Evil God and was almost killed by the Huoyun Evil God, but fortunately he was saved by a mysterious master named Ah Xing. ”
"This Ah Xing is another character who knows Chinese kung fu, and he can take a palm from the sky."
"These two characters don't play a lot of time, but they must be impressive!!"
Zhao Ye said while thinking that he could lay the groundwork for the future filming of the movie "Kung Fu".
When "Kung Fu" is released in the future, fans may be pleasantly surprised.
With the addition of two characters and not much playing time, this doesn't change much from Spider-Man.
I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so I will slowly penetrate it in the future.
Chen Wenhan hurriedly wrote down Zhao Ye's words, and couldn't help but be a little interested in the Fire Cloud Evil God that Zhao Ye had just described.
……
……
Hollywood, USA.
At this time, Marvel began to recycle superhero characters that had been sold before at a high price.
Money opens the way, and everything goes well.
A large number of characters were recovered in half a month.
However, there are also companies that are reluctant to sell Marvel characters to Marvel, and may want to take the opportunity to raise the price.
For this situation, Zhao Ye will never condone it, and the character that can't be bought back will destroy it on the comics and directly make it a spurned villain, or hide it directly, don't want to show his face in the comics again.
On February 1, 1997, Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio announced that the film adaptation of "Spider-Man" was officially approved, and the script was being polished, with an investment budget of no less than 100 million US dollars.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a sensation in North America.
Countless fans rejoiced.
"Oh God, sure enough, after Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio acquired Marvel, it immediately started the film and television adaptation, which is really exciting!"
"DC Comics' Batman has already made a few films, Marvel film and television has not yet succeeded, and it has to be Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio, if it hadn't acquired Marvel, I don't know if I would have been able to see Marvel movies in my lifetime!"
"I'll go, the movie budget is as high as 100 million US dollars, a proper blockbuster, the last blockbuster that impressed me was "Independence Day" invested and filmed by Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio! This time, I believe that Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio will also be able to shoot "Spider-Man" well!! ”
“……”
At this time, even those fans on the Internet who originally opposed the acquisition of Marvel by Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio have now changed their attitudes.
Obviously, they also realized that only Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio could successfully adapt Marvel's comics into live-action films!
As the news spread, major Hollywood studios and agencies are ready to participate in the "Spider-Man" project.
The film production capabilities of Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio are obvious to all.
And Spider-Man also has a huge fan base.
Therefore, the probability of success of this film project is very high.
For a time, Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio was full of people.
In fact.
Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio has not only launched the project "Spider-Man".
During this time, Zhao Ye wrote three IPs and handed them over to Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio for improvement, one is the comic "Gintama", and the other two are movies: "The Matrix" and "Harry Potter".
Of course, "Harry Potter" was still a bestseller in the previous life and made huge profits, especially with the popularity of the movie, it also became popular
Therefore, Zhao Ye plans to let the writers trained by the company write "Harry Potter", and when the movie is released, the physical book will be published at the same time.
"Gintama" will first be published as a comic, and then it can be made into an animated film, and when the time comes, it will not be a problem to become popular in Asia.
……
"The peripheral value of film and television dramas is often higher than the box office revenue, and toys are the most important part of peripheral income. Hasbro is not only a toy giant, but also has several IPs in its hands, especially "Transformers". So, my idea is, buy Hasbro! In the conference room, Zhao Ye said in a deep voice.
In order to crack down on Hollywood films, Zhao Ye decided to buy all IPs that could threaten Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio.
"Transformers" is a super IP, and it is better to let yourself eat it than to cheapen American companies.
The market value of the company's company is very high, but Zhao Ye thinks that the acquisition of this company is still very profitable.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly wrote down this matter, and no one would object to Zhao Ye's decision.
Moreover, the company is indeed worth acquiring, it is a high-quality industry.
It's just that after all, Kid's Treasure Company is a large American company, and it is not easy to acquire it, and there is a high possibility of failure.
Zhao Ye is actually very aware of this situation, but he still has to give it a try.
Since opening the U.S. market, Wujiang Group's profits have increased dramatically, and it has a large amount of cash reserves, rather than being in the bank, just a paper number, it is better to spend it, turn it into an industry, and create greater benefits and influence.
