I really don't want to be red

Chapter 1411 Leave it to me

He came to look for An Ran, in fact, he also wanted to see if An Ran could continue.

Lucas is a great director, and he also has a lot of business sense. The copyright is in his own hands, so he can release it so easily. The problem is that no one dares to touch these comics.

He had no choice but to suddenly think of An Ran.

A hand-held camera can play well, so maybe a manga movie can do it?

He wasn't quite sure either.

After all, An Ran has never independently produced a big scene, a movie with a big investment, no one can say for sure.

An Ran sorted it out carefully.

Xizhou has also produced manga adaptation movies, all of which are made by selecting the most popular heroes in manga.

The most successful one is probably "The Winged Man", which was shown on the big screen twice. For the first time, out of four films, three made money and one lost money.

In the second time, all four films were sold well, and the reputation was excellent.

Another good comic movie should be "Octopus". The box office of the first trilogy is very good

However, the two films after the restart not only did not have a good box office, but also a bad reputation.

As for the others, there are gains and losses.

There have been no comic-book adaptations on the market for several years now, and everyone is too scared to try it lightly.

An Ran felt that she could give it a try. It couldn't be better to enter this node.

He originally planned to use "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" as the basis, and then change the skin to "Raiders of the Lost Ark". Now that the Xizhou film market has a firm foothold, let's talk about it.

Now it seems that it is not bad to use the comic film to lay a solid foundation, and then try to develop further.

"Mr. Lucas, did you bring the comics?"

Lucas smiled and said, "Of course, I knew you were interested."

He didn't bring too many, and he brought a total of four volumes, all of which were representative heroes in Power Company's comics.

The first book is "The Iron Man".

An Ran opened it and looked at it, and had to say that Xizhou people's comic standards are really not good.

"The Iron Man" was written several decades ago. In fact, the story can no longer keep up with the pace of the current movie, and the plot is also lacking.

It's no wonder that in the past few decades, Xizhou has not published a normal comic except for this hero and that hero.

Occasionally there are, but they can't beat Fuzhou people's comics at all.

The first thing that Fuzhou manga pays attention to is the plot, and the second is the characters.

Moreover, the style is changeable, and various genres are covered, just like Xia Zhou's web articles, which are fully blooming.

Xizhou is still at the most basic stage of weeding out the strong and supporting the weak.

This kind of cartoon, of course, is beaten to no avail, it's too old-fashioned.

Most of the directors of comic adaptations feel that they must be faithful to the original, otherwise what if the audience doesn't buy it?So it was filmed according to the original work, but it was not popular.

Out of date.

The reason why "Flying Wing Man" became the ceiling of comic change is that it moved the "metropolis" to the present, just like it happened in front of everyone.

First of all, this sense of substitution comes.

The second is the shaping of heroes, which is more humane.

In terms of character, try to be as close to ordinary people as possible, with flesh and blood, rather than the kind of hero who does not eat fireworks.

So this trilogy, very popular.

As for the next few films that hit the street, they all have major flaws, and the biggest weakness is that they are not humane enough.

Now everyone likes heroes who are close to life, flesh and blood, and have superpowers, but they should also be ordinary people, otherwise it feels too far away.

The comic "Iron Man" can be directly transplanted from "Iron Man". The development trajectories of the two are different.

"Lever Iron Man" is to become a superhero after obtaining alien technology.

Stark, on the other hand, did his own research.

To put it simply, he was rich, so he became Iron Man.

It's okay to copy it as it is, as long as you change the person's name a little bit.

After turning a few pages, An Ran sighed, "You can't do Fuzhou comics in Xizhou. There is nothing wrong with it. Now I'm afraid you can't even do Xiazhou comics."

Lucas smiled bitterly, "Who says it's not? It has been 40 years since "The Iron Man" came out, and the total sales volume is only a million copies. Fuzhou's "Seven Dragons" series has exceeded 1 million copies. It sold more than 3 million copies, which is simply not the same."

An Ran smiled and said: "Don't belittle yourself, manga adaptations like "Seven Dragons" are difficult. In fact, every character in Power Comics is not difficult to manga, but first of all, we must make it clear that we can only change the front. Learn from the latter, what kind of stuff is the following plot, almost completely collapsed, what else to change!"

Lucas nodded repeatedly at what An Ran said.

This is the biggest problem of Xizhou comics, and it is difficult to justify it, because the playing time is different, and the combat power is severely damaged.

It is not a problem to be stronger than ordinary people in the early stage, and then the combat power collapses, destroying the world, destroying the universe, and destroying more than a dozen universes.

On this point, the brains of Xizhou people are not as good as Xiazhou people.

You don't know how to add some adventures or something, so that you can improve your combat power.

It seemed particularly abrupt and unreasonable.

The advantage is that the character events of Power Comics are relatively dense, and small events can be adapted from a single paragraph.

Don't worry too much about the following things, the story is very independent.

You are like "Seven Dragons", there are more than a dozen volumes per planet, and things are very related.

If you intercept a section and shoot it separately, it is easy to make the story tell too quickly.

So that people who have read the comics feel that you did not capture the most exciting parts.

An Ran thought for a while, "Mr. Lucas, I think you can talk to Powery to buy all the comic copyrights."

"All? Forever?"

An Ran nodded, "Will Powery still publish comics?"

Lucas nodded and said: "Basically, it is published every year, but the sales volume is very poor. "The Iron Man" is considered the most popular, and it sells up to 1 copies a year!"

"1 volumes?" An Ran looked at Lucas with a strange expression.

Then why don't you buy the copyright?This is such a great thing.

If it is redeveloped, the income can be a big business of tens of billions.

And for comics with this sales volume, the copyright fee is not expected to be very high.

"Then how much do you estimate the full copyright will cost?"

Lucas pondered for a while, "Then it's better to directly acquire the entire power company."

"It's best to buy it!" An Ran's eyes lit up. He thought that they might not want to sell it.

If you can buy the entire company, you don't have to worry about it. All the copyrights of these comics are in your own hands, so you can't make a lot of money.

Lucas said: "Up to $1 million can do it."

Most of them are comic copyrights, how much is the company worth?

An Ran nodded and said, "Then buy the whole company, the price of 1.5 million is not too expensive."

Not expensive?Lucas felt a little too much.

After all, the power company is now in decline, and it is difficult to maintain normal operations.

If you pay 1.5 million, the boss of Power Company will probably be able to smile crookedly!
