I really don't want to be red

Chapter 1410
Even for someone like Chu Xiaoxiao who rarely smiles, the corners of her mouth can't help but curl up when she sees An Ran.

Come up, the two hugged.

Chu Xiaoxiao took An Ran's arm and said with emotion: "I didn't expect you to do such a good job, not bad."

His voice was full of joy.

Chu Xiaoxiao rarely showed this kind of emotion.

It seems that he is also surprised by An Ran's ability.

An Ran smiled and said, "Compared to yours in Xizhou, it's far behind!"

When it was over, I hugged Lucas, "Lucas, welcome to Xiazhou, you will definitely like it here."

Lucas laughed, "I've been here 15 years ago and I've always liked it, but this time I'm looking for you for business, let's talk about things first."

Huang Ling drove the car and sent the three of them to the TV station.

Chu Xiaoxiao got out of the car and looked at the towering Dongtian Satellite TV building, unconsciously feeling red eyes.

He said silently in his heart: "Dad, did you see that? The little brother did a great job, better than us..."

The dandy back then, once he got serious, turned out to be a rampaging beast, beating the entire entertainment industry into obedience, and he was powerless to fight back.

Although this kid is young, he looks very calm and sensible, only on Weibo, he will occasionally get skinny.

Chu Xiaoxiao was quite relieved, she thought she was a guy who couldn't be mentioned, but now she has grown to such a degree, who would have thought.

Huang Ling led the way, An Ran and Lucas walked side by side.

Lucas looked around the inside of the TV station, and sighed: "I really didn't expect Teacher An, you are so bold, you start from songs, entertainment, film and television production, to TV stations, and you do so well in everything, you are a genius .”

"Don't praise me!" An Ran said with a smile, "I will be proud!"

Lucas patted him on the shoulder, "Mr. An, you are worthy of pride, this is your right!"

Westerners with no sense of humor.

When they came to An Ran's office, Huang Ling specially made a cup of coffee for Lucas.

Lucas took a sip and gave a thumbs up, "Authentic hand-ground coffee with a delicate and moving taste, thank you, beautiful lady."

Huang Ling smiled, put down the coffee pot, and prepared to leave.

An Ran said: "Sister Huang, don't leave, let's go together!"

If there are no accidents, he will go to Xizhou to preside over the overall situation soon, and Huang Ling is the most reliable person here.

Tang Ni is in charge of Creative Arts and Entertainment, which is his base camp, and there must be no trouble.

Huang Ling nodded and sat down.

Lucas said, "Who is this?"

An Ran said: "The director of our TV station is my right-hand assistant, Ms. Huang Ling."

Lucas suddenly realized that it was so.

Since they are all his own, Lucas went straight to the point: "Mr. An, I have a comic book copyright. When I bought it, it was a 20-year copyright. There is an additional condition that a movie must be produced in ten years!"

"Unfortunately, the deadline is coming soon. We have no idea yet. There have been manga movies in Xizhou, but there are not many successful examples. I want to ask for your opinion!"

"Should we return this set of comics to the original 'Power Company', or let's make one!"

comics?copyright?
The word "Marvel" immediately popped into An Ran's mind.

This is so...

Although it is different from Huaxia's development, it is generally quite similar.

On Earth, Marvel made its first comic film by itself, borrowed money, and sold a number of comic copyrights to raise funds and filmed "Iron Man", which opened up the comic book. Granville universe.

Here is the copyright in hand, but did not shoot.

The events are different, but the circumstances are largely similar.

This is a good thing!
How could it be returned to "Power Company", An Ran plans to take a look first, if it is good, buy it out directly, and pay it back!

"Give it back to the other party?" An Ran said: "Since it is a well-known manga in Xizhou, why should you return it to the other party? It already has a fan base, and it will be easier for everyone to accept it after making a movie!"

Lucas smiled wryly: "Almost everyone thinks so, but the cartoons of Power Corporation are not like this. It can be said that all company cartoons are not as good as they look like."

"The image of the characters given in the comics is almost fixed. If the movie produced is different from everyone's, it is very easy to fail."

"Another DA company's comics have had successful cases in the last century. Even after that, there were blockbuster movies like 'Wing Man'? But why didn't they make it? Because the losses were too great, and almost no director dared to take over. , It's really not easy to make a manga movie with the original taste..."

An Ran nodded, the same is true on Earth.

In the late 70s, the first two "Superman" became popular all over the world, and the second two went directly to grandma's house.

And "Batman" in the 90s once made this character deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but the money earned from the fourth part made the production company vomit blood at a loss.

Arnold, who played the villain alone, took away a total of 2500 million U.S. dollars in half an hour, plus the salary of George Clooney and others.

This cost is more than 6000 million U.S. dollars, plus production, special effects, a total investment of more than 1 million U.S. dollars, plus publicity and distribution costs, a full more than 2 million.

As a result, the global box office was just over 1 million yuan, and the production company almost didn't urinate blood.

Afterwards, the manga adaptation has been shelved.

Some companies have also tried it. For example, "Blade Warrior" made three films, and the production cost of each film was about 7000 million US dollars.

In the 20th century, "Batman" was restarted and became the ceiling of comics.

Then "Superman" hit the big screen again, and although it didn't make a lot of money, it didn't lose money either.

There is also the "Spider-Man" trilogy, which made a lot of money.

But the restarted version lost even more.

What "Fantastic Four", "Green Lantern", "Hulk"!
If you invest more than 1 million to make a movie, you can probably make tens of millions of money, and there are almost no movies like "Batman" that can make 3 million.

But the loss is awesome. The first part of "Fantastic Four" saved its capital, and the second part suffered a huge loss of 8000 million.

The production cost of "Green Lantern" was 1.5 million, plus the cost of publicity and distribution was more than 2 million US dollars, and the box office was 7000 million US dollars.

The company almost went bankrupt.

"The Incredible Hulk" also lost hundreds of millions, and the production company involved never dared to touch "Green Lantern" and "The Incredible Hulk" again.

It wasn't until "Iron Man" took off that the manga movie became popular.

The current situation in Xizhou is similar to that of "Hulk" after it lost money. Some people want to make it, but they are more afraid of losing money.

As a result, there are no directors who connect hands now.

Lucas is a great director, but he didn't dare to accept the manga adaptation project casually. It doesn't make a lot of money for a movie, but the loss is exaggerated.

Not everyone has the ability to Enron!
