Chapter 402: Cultivating the Road of the Future and the Industry with Color
For the sake of the future development of his own entertainment and for his own money-making business, Chen Mingzhi resolutely gave up the research base in the Endless Sea and returned to the Chengmeng, and became the chairman and judge in the City of Ten Thousand Immortals.
"Your Excellency, please have tea. The director in charge of this test presented a tea ceremony to Chen Mingzhi.
Chen Mingzhi smiled slightly, took the tea and took a sip.
"Yes, let's get started. Chen Mingzhi put down the teacup and said.
The place where the groups performed was a theater and the judges were ten.
These ten people are all acquaintances of Chen Mingzhi, and they are all professionals.
The first is Wang Duobao, the boss of Xiuyu Ming, who sits on Chen Mingzhi's left hand side, with an honorable status.
The others are all well-known directors, screenwriters, and actors who are now affiliated with Xiuyu.
This test is not only to test the acting skills of the new disciples, but also to try the level of the new directors and screenwriters in this entertainment.
It's the best of both worlds.
As Chen Mingzhi began to say to the director, a huge screen slowly fell.
At the same time, the actors of the first group have already appeared in the middle of the venue and sat down not far from Chen Mingzhi and other judges.
The light of the spirit shadow device hit the screen, and what caught everyone's eyes was a spirit shadow with the theme of Xianxia, which mainly tells the story of the protagonist Chen Xiaobao, as a small citizen, who coincidentally pretended to be a eunuch and strayed into the immortal cultivation dynasty and dealt with various sects and accepted seven wives.
In this test, a large part of them are Xianxia Lingying, and these Xianxia Lingying are adapted from Chen Mingzhi's latest Xianxia.
Although Chen Mingzhi was busy, he had already thought of a series of plans, and the plan at this stage was to integrate all the works of Old Man Jin into this world of cultivating immortals.
Fortunately, Chen Mingzhi learned the soul clone of the non-existent, and he could separate a primordial spirit to use it wholeheartedly, so these books were all dictated by Chen Mingzhi and written by others.
Chen Mingzhi himself had great expectations for this adaptation of his favorite old man Jin, but as soon as the spirit shadow was released for ten minutes, Chen Mingzhi threw the teacup in his hand.
"What the is this doing!" Chen Mingzhi scolded.
The disciple in charge of playing the spirit shadow was startled, and immediately paused the play of the spirit shadow after shuddering.
And the main creative team of this spirit shadow sitting in the back all looked flustered, and they felt like they were sitting on pins and needles in their seats.
This is Chen Mingzhi! The leader of the alliance! He is angry, what can he do?
Chen Mingzhi exhaled slowly, trying to keep his emotions stable.
"Where's this director, come over to me!" Chen Mingzhi shouted again.
The director in charge of this film immediately ran over and knelt directly in front of Chen Mingzhi.
"Alliance...... Alliance Leader, do you call me?" said the director, trembling.
Chen Mingzhi put down the cocked Erlang's legs, propped his arms on his thighs, and held his face to look at the director who was kneeling on the ground.
"How long have you been with Xiuyu?" asked Chen Mingzhi.
"Two ...... It's been two years......" the director said tremblingly.
"Two years, how do you think this thing you shoot compares to the other spirit shadows we cultivate?"
"This ......"
Chen Mingzhi sneered, "Who taught you to shoot like this with this thing, and who is your master in the Directors Association?"
The man's lips trembled, and he didn't dare to make a sound.
Chen Mingzhi found that Wang Duobao, who was sitting next to him, was frantically glaring at the man.
Chen Mingzhi understood in his heart, and then said to the man: "Okay, you go down, how to make such a film again, then Xiuyu will no longer have a place for you!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The man trotted all the way back to the seat in the back.
Chen Mingzhi said to Wang Duobao without changing his face: "Duobao, what do you think of this film?"
"Then don't you need to say, it's just a bad word! I've never seen such a bad film in so many years of entertainment!" Wang Duobao said immediately, his expression excited and indignant.
"Okay, let's read the final conclusion. ”
Chen Mingzhi, as the chief judge of this test, naturally can't interrupt the assessment because of his emotions, no matter how bad this film is, he must always finish watching this film.
Chen Mingzhi and the others spent nearly five days to complete the review of these ten groups of films.
The subsequent films did not make Chen Mingzhi as angry as the first one, although there are some flaws in them, but they are all understandable.
But Chen Mingzhi found some bigger clues, and the styles of these people's films are all tending to be the same.
After the assessment was over, Chen Mingzhi called Wang Duobao to a room alone.
"Chen Mingzhi, what did you call me for? I'm very busy, you can leave such a big industry behind, those things are all on my head, master, I can't be idle for a moment!" Wang Duobao said impatiently as soon as he entered the door.
Chen Mingzhi immediately slapped Wang Duobao's head.
"Damn, what are you hitting me?" Wang Duobao said angrily, holding his head.
"Why did I beat you, you don't know?" Chen Mingzhi sat on a chair and glared at Wang Duobao.
"I ...... Isn't it because those spirit shadows were a little worse today, what does this have to do with me?"
"What does it have to do with you? Do you think you can hide what you do from me? Because you are still a disciple of the Acting Machine School, I don't even know that you will anger me by doing these things. ”
Wang Duobao looked at Chen Mingzhi's expression, then lowered his head, his expression was frowning, he knew that he had really angered Chen Mingzhi this time.
"You created a cram school in the Directors Guild to train new directors, didn't you?"
Wang Duobao, who lowered his head, bit his lip, and then nodded slowly.
It seems that Chen Mingzhi already knows everything, and if he hides it from him again, he will definitely die.
Chen Mingzhi smiled, "Then all the directors who came to this Chengmeng New Disciple Exchange Conference came from your cram school." ”
Wang Duobao paused again, then nodded.
"Didn't I tell you a long time ago that interlacing is like a mountain, and the directors guild should not interfere in the affairs of the director association, as long as we ensure that we have ownership there!"
Wang Duobao trembled and said: "But, but that group of directors is too brainless, and the films they make now are no longer easy to sell!"
"Then what is good to sell for money in your eyes? Find those popular idols who have held concerts and exploded? No matter whether they perform well or not, they will all make me a bloody love spirit?" Chen Mingzhi roared.
"Old ...... Boss, there are a lot of single monks now! And the best thing to earn is women's money, they ...... That's what they do!"
"Do you know how many female fans our popular idol Chen Jiannan, who is the number one in Xiuyu? Do you know how many spirit stones they contributed to Chen Jiannan's concert alone? Do you know how much money our female fans and male fans can make if Chen Jiannan is paired with a popular female idol to shoot a simple spiritual drama?"
"Stop!" Chen Mingzhi directly raised his hand and blasted Wang Duobao, who was getting more and more energetic and closer to him the more he spoke, out of the door.
Then Chen Mingzhi reached out and hooked it back.
"Wang Duobao, I know that you are a businessman, and you only care about how many spirit stones you can earn. ”
"But can your gaze be a little more shallow, how long do you think this kind of fan effect can last? How many brain-dead fans can still pay for the trash shadows made by idols after decades of torture?"
"The original reason why I founded Xiuyu was also to make money, but I still have integrity, and I can't stand someone changing my book to that kind of virtue!"
"I ...... I know......" Wang Duobao said aggrievedly.
"You know the! Listen honestly to me!"
"If we need to make money quickly now, it would be forgivable to engage in this way, but now there is only one cultivation in the entire Chengtian Continent and the entire Three Realms!
"Anyone who puts out a good show and performs it in the theater casually, the era of Lingying under the rampant bad movies will end in your hands!"
"In this world, whether it is a book or a spiritual shadow, the most important thing is always to pass the quality, I have no objection to filming youth and immortal idol dramas, but can you make me look better!" Chen Mingyi said in a series of words.
Wang Duobao nodded again and again in front of Chen Mingzhi.
Chen Mingzhi was a little helpless, he knew that he probably didn't listen to what this kid said, all he thought about in his head was spirit stones.
"Well, I know you didn't listen to what you just said. ”
"Listen...... Listen to ......," Wang Duobao replied timidly.
"Listen to a hammer, so what did I just say?"
"This ......"
Chen Mingzhi shook his head, "That's it, you listen to me to arrange the way after Xiuyu, don't make your own opinions, let me find out that there is such a bad movie in Xiuyu again, I will strip you naked and hang you on the city gate!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Wang Duobao immediately sat down in the chair, and a notebook and a pen appeared in his hand.
Chen Mingzhi suddenly laughed when he saw Wang Duobao's shelf, "You have all this thing." ”
"When I go out to run errands, I always have to write down something, and others remember me that I don't feel at ease. Wang Duobao said.
Chen Mingzhi smiled, "Okay, you remember." ”
"Next, we will keep the price of the spirit shadow device down. Chen Mingzhi said.
"Down?" Wang Duobao wondered, in this world, everything has its own price, and the price depends on the rarity.
Lingying, a thing that only he knows how to make, according to Wang Duobao's understanding, the more expensive it is, the better.
"That's right, it's to keep it down, let them make a few spirit artifacts of different price ranges, and the lowest price should be acceptable to most mortals. Chen Mingzhi said to Wang Duobao.
"This ...... It's a loss. The pen in Wang Duobao's hand almost fell to the ground.
"Of course, according to the current production process, you will lose money, so you have to find a low-cost material, and I think you can always find it if the Chengtian Continent is so big. Chen Mingzhi continued.
"What's the use of selling cheap Spirit Shadows to those mortals?"
Chen Mingzhi smiled, "What do you say?"
Wang Duobao patted his head, "Cut leeks!"
Chen Mingzhi slapped Wang Duobao on the head again, "Cut a fart leek! What we want to do is a long stream of water!"
"The purchasing power of mortals is certainly not strong, but the number of mortals is far greater than that of us immortal cultivators. ”
"At present, the Spirit Shadow is only popular in the Immortal Cultivation Realm and among mortals with a lot of wealth, and those ordinary mortals have not yet experienced the pleasure of the Spirit Shadow. ”
"If we don't cover this market for a long time, then there will always be other products to grab this market, and this is what we are most afraid of. ”
"The reason why Xiuyu can develop so quickly is because the leisure method of Lingying is new and popular, and we are the only one. ”
"According to the urine nature of those immortal cultivators, if there is a new way of leisure that attracts them enough, they will inevitably abandon the spirit shadow, this is what we should worry about the most, you should never underestimate the creativity of human beings, especially mortals. Chen Mingzhi said solemnly.
Wang Duobao quickly wrote down in his notes and nodded again and again.
"Therefore, we must also introduce the concept of this spirit shadow into the hearts of ordinary mortals, so as to suppress the generation of such things to a large extent. And it is good to constantly find new ways of entertainment within the entertainment industry. Chen Mingzhi said.
"Boss, you are really a genius, and you deserve to be the leader of the Cheng Alliance!" Wang Duobao said excitedly.
"So there's more?"
"And ......"
Chen Mingzhi suddenly smiled evilly.
"Ahem, in short, we will increase the internal review of Xiu Entertainment, put an end to the release of bad movies, everything is based on quality, and then ......"
"Besides, let's go to the Qinglou to find some women, we can try to make some new types of films......"
The pen in Wang Duobao's hand stopped, "Qing ...... I ...... Did my ear hear it right?"
Chen Mingzhi coughed, "That's right, you just said that there are many single monks, in that case, we can also make some films like that for them to see." ”
"It's just that if you engage in this business, you must separate it from our original industry, and don't let the normal stars of Xiuyu go into the water for the sake of curiosity. ”
"Of course I know this! My Wang Duobao is not bad to that extent, okay!"
"I'm just reminding you. And don't let that kind of film be shown in the Ling Theater......"
"Of course I know what fool would go to the Spirit Theater to watch a movie like that!"
Chen Mingzhi smiled, "In this way, Xiuyu's next development plan is like this." ”
"But...... Isn't it forbidden to sell such books and the like in the Kingdom of God......"
"I'll negotiate with the God Emperor on his side, just do your own thing, remember that you can only find someone from the Qinglou. I'll give you more details about the terms later. ”
"Yes!" Wang Duobao happily agreed, and then ran away.
Chen Mingzhi looked at Wang Duobao and smiled, and then sighed deeply, he didn't know whether it was good or bad to let Xiuyu get involved in this industry, but Chen Mingzhi had always felt that the world seemed to be missing some of these things......
