I can see the yield

Chapter 211 The plot of Dasheng 2 is settled, a trillion-level project
A new week begins.

It can be regarded as the last full week of December. Tuesday and Wednesday are Christmas Eve and Christmas, but for the busy Zhang Long, there is nothing to do. He sits at Shengxin in the morning and visits Longding in the afternoon.

There are only a few days before New Year's Day in 2014, and all walks of life in the industry are making the final sprint.

……

"Hiss, hoo~"

Miracle Vast Entertainment Publishing Media was invited to Chasing Animation to watch the finished film "The Return of the Great Sage". Although the production was completed as early as last month, the refinement and some sound effects and music are still being worked on for nearly a month. To achieve better results, excellent quality.

The manager of Miracle Boundless who came to review films was surnamed Su. Over the years, he has discovered many excellent films. Although there are not many animated films, they have reviewed more or less.

Today I saw the return of the great sage, with exquisite and exquisite painting style, plot, dubbing, sound effects and so on.

The main thing is character modeling.

The images of Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Jiang Liuer are very pleasing, with a tight rhythm, warmth and many fighting scenes. What is more important is the scene of the final ending of "The Great Sage · Lava into Armor and Flame into Robe" is so handsome It was too explosive, and I was very excited after watching it.

Not to mention that he is so excited for a veteran who is immune to watching movies in such a market, what will ordinary movie fans or passer-by audiences do after watching the movie?Obviously easy to see.

I don't know how much the final box office will be, but it will definitely not be less than 2 million, or even 3 million.

"How is it, Manager Su?"

Tang Cheng smiled and said, Miracle is the preferred distribution company of Chasing Animation. There is still one and a half months before the Berlin International Film Festival after the beginning of February. Miracle has a good relationship with overseas channels.

I don't want to say whether it can help "The Return of the Great Sage" win an animation award, but as long as we talk about the release, we will do our best to increase the promotion.

In the end, even if you can't really win the award, it doesn't matter, at least if you put in your efforts, it's no problem to be shortlisted.

"Huh, very good."

Su Cun let out a sigh of relief again, in his heart he definitely wanted to win the release of the Great Sage's return, but he could only decide half of it personally, "Bring the 'Great Sage' to Miracle in a couple of days, Mr. Tang, what are your demands? Let's talk, so I can go back and report."

Tang Cheng nodded and returned to OK.

Su Cun was just a pioneer in watching movies and auditing. If he didn't like it, he would leave without saying much. If he liked it, he would talk about the demands and efforts of both parties, and so on.

The specific contract will be discussed in detail later.

……

"There's something wrong with logic."

The Return of the Great Sage 2, Tang Cheng submitted the idea and framework again, and Zhang Long commented on it after reading it.

The Return of the Great Sage can only be regarded as a side story within the framework of Journey to the West, and it is not easy to return to it.

The most simple and intuitive one is that Jiang Liuer unblocks Sun Wukong in the Five Elements Mountain, and the follow-up relationship is also a friend relationship, which is far less than a master-student relationship, so the logic in this aspect must be shown in the second part, otherwise it will collapse directly.

Of course, it is not necessary to continue to make the return of the great sage 2, and it is also possible to directly make a new episode, but in this way, the popularity accumulated in the return of the great sage will be wasted.

And all the character images also need to be changed, otherwise there will be chaos with the return of the Great Sage.

Create conflicts in character image.

For example, anterior spacetime.

After the return of the Great Sage was broadcast in 2015, the sequel 2 has not appeared, only some online transmissions.

But there is another company's Dasheng animation, a brand new Dasheng character image: 'Reborn Demon King'!
To be honest, the plot is barely passable. In the plot of Zhenyuanzi ginseng fruit, new wine in old bottles is still creative. Under the ginseng fruit, the demon ancestor Yuandi is sealed.

The picture and martial arts action are excellent.

But in the end, the box office was not satisfactory. It was released in early April of 2021, and the box office was only 4 million. It can be said to be quite miserable, which greatly exceeded the expectations before the release.

The Internet has attracted a lot of attention, and the 5-year production cycle is said to be able to continue the glory of The Return of the Great Sage.

The result was 1.15 million, and I was stunned.

After all, The Return of the Great Sage was released in 2015 with a box office of nearly 10 billion. The gap is too big.

Just like the plot mentioned above, the idea of ​​sealing the monster Yuandi under the ginseng fruit is not bad, but why didn't the audience buy it?There are many reasons.

First of all, Tang Seng's handsome man is a little bit unspeakable, Drifting Monk is a monster, Ba Jie is very scary, and Monkey King looks like a ruffian with big dark circles. It is difficult for most audiences to like the above characters at first glance, which greatly reduces Desire to watch, and emotion to recommend.

The images of the characters in The Return of the Great Sage are very good. Sun Wukong has a happy horse face, Zhu Bajie is also cute and silly, and Jiang Liuer is even more likable. The audience of the characters will have the desire to watch and recommend them. There is nothing wrong with it. Yes, image is the first impression.

Naturally, the image of Monkey King and Zhu Bajie in "The Reincarnation of the Demon King" is difficult to attract too much audience.

Most viewers don't care about the plot first, but look at the character image, just like many people watch live-action movies, who will watch whether the man is handsome or the woman is not beautiful?
Most of them will choose familiar ones, regardless of whether they are popular stars or powerful actors, at least they will not reject them.

The image is not pleasing, look at the wool.

……

"Don't leave the plot empty..."

Now that it is decided to be a follow-up to the return of the great sage, the image of Monkey King and Zhu Bajie does not need to be changed. It only needs to be a few years older than Jiang Liuer, and it can be extended to the image of a likable teenager. The specific appearance will be determined later.

There is no question of whether the image has an audience, so the sequel can perfectly inherit the popularity bonus of the previous one.

So what matters is the plot!

The reincarnation of the demon king, the big boss demon ancestor Yuandi will not be mentioned, the huge demon worship in the trailer, the golden horn and silver horn nine-tailed multi-eyed, etc. are quite fake. .

The demon ancestor Yuandi thought it was awesome, but in the end, his ultimate form has an extra pair of hands, which are gone.

Monkey King turned on the hellfire red face mode, and directly crushed the demon ancestor Yuandi to death, and he was done.

It's not that you can't do it in one move.

Instead, it paves the way for how awesome the demon ancestor Yuandi is, and that's the end?The elimination was too hasty, without the power of the name of the demon ancestor, it was fake.

Of course, it is a little surprising that the finale is to open up, and what is needed is the emotional resonance of the Jedi's counterattack.

But how to make it more reasonable should be reasonable.

How to transition smoothly in the plot, as for how to end, the opening and development have been established, and the ending is not difficult. As long as you don’t lose points, you are basically at least qualified.

"The demonic energy is raging, and the shemale is demented!"

This is the creative setting given by Zhang Long. The demon energy comes from the Nine Nether Demon Abyss, but anyone who has demon thoughts in his heart, whether it is a human or a demon, will produce demons after being tricked.

Sun Wukong, the great sage equal to heaven, is also a demon!
Being sealed under the Five Elements Mountain for 500 years, he naturally accumulated boundless resentment during the suppression period. After all, the higher the mana, the greater the resentment, which is unfathomable.

Jiang Liuer followed his master to travel around the world to practice Buddhism, Zhu Bajie, Gao Laozhuang and Xiao Xiaoyao, under the background of people, monsters and demons in the world, Jiang Liuer, master and apprentice joined Zhu Bajie, and went to Huaguo Mountain to find the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. The ruins are in disarray, and the Great Sage is missing...

……

The setting of the opening chapter is settled. As for why the great sage went, whether to demonize or find a way to control the mind demon, we will discuss again, first set the background setting and the beginning of the chapter, otherwise the middle and ending will not be able to continue.

As for the ending, Zhang Long combined Tang Cheng's ideas with the setting of the reincarnation of the earth's time and space demon king!
The overall structure is barely established.

Jiang Liuer Buddha's great disciple Jin Chanzi was reincarnated, and this is the ninth reincarnation. Finally, he sacrificed the details of the ninth reincarnation, and helped the Great Sage Equaling Heaven to further open up. Agreed again.

In this way, Jiang Liu'er practiced sacrifices in the ninth world, traveled to the West in the tenth world to learn Buddhist scriptures, and Sun Wukong could accept it as a disciple under his banner, and his identity was changed.

Otherwise, it is difficult to return to the status of master and apprentice in Journey to the West as a friend in the first film, and it is enough to owe something.

"Boss Zhang, I admire you."

Tang Cheng's eyes widened, and he was shocked after hearing Zhang Long's creativity and overall framework, awesome.

Demon Tribulation is better than simply destroying demons.

In this way, the overall framework of The Return of the Great Sage 2 is established. After the Great Sage returned to Huaguo Mountain, the demon came to the world. Jiang Liuer Zhu Bajie went to Huaguo Mountain to invite the Great Sage to come out.

The result turned out to be a ruined wall, and Huaguo Mountain searched for the Great Sage, but what happened next?
If the whole film is 90 minutes, the Great Sage must appear before 15 minutes, and even within 10 minutes, he can't make his final appearance, let's finish it.

How to turn around and find the Great Sage?Or the Great Sage during the day and the Demon Sage at night?Or the Great Sage will return again.

"The Great Sage cannot appear too late."

Thoughts popped up in Tang Cheng's mind frequently, "Jiang Liu'er Bajie and others directly saw the Great Sage who was suppressing the demons in the depths of the Water Curtain Cave, and Jiang Liu'er is the tenth golden cicada after all. Already a young man, the foundation has begun to awaken, the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra or something..."

"The great sage condensed all his innate mana into a tight ring, locking the soul of the demon ancestor in the soul."

"The Great Sage has lost his mana again."

……

Hearing this, Zhang Long's eyes lit up.

After all, there is a signboard with the words "The Great Sage Returns", so how can he finally return without losing his mana?There must always be a reliable event to achieve it.

"And to completely eliminate the spirit of the Demon Ancestor, you need to go to the Bodhi Viewpoint of the Great Sage Master, and get out of the branch line."

"Anyway, Patriarch Bodhi will not be born, it can be that there is a congenital pure world lotus in Fangcun Mountain, the Great Sage and his party went to the road and all the demonized monsters came to stop them, and the small fights ended in Fangcun Mountain. "

"It can also be said that the Jingshilian has been secretly polluted. After the great sage swallowed it, the spirit of the demon ancestor succeeded in plotting. The great sage demonized Jiang Liu'er and sacrificed the cultivation background of the tenth generation."

"The last is the return of the great sage to open the university, and the demon monkey will rely on the world-destroying magic lotus to form a physical body and a law body."

"A golden cudgel was wiped out."

Tang Cheng's eyes were shining with light and creativity spewed out.

The Return of the Great Sage 2 is simply too monotonous to simply subdue demons and eliminate demons, but it can continue to climax through continuous reversal. After all, Demon Tribulation is the rebirth of the broken Wuzhishan Great Sage, and the biggest boss is the heart demon of the Great Sage.

That is, the remnants of the Demon Ancestor.

According to the plot, during the 500 years of suppression, a trace of the primordial spirit of the demon ancestor has been quietly escaped into the heart demon.

As for the inability of the real body to cross the border, the reason can be very simple. Heaven and Buddhism are suppressing the portals of the demon world. Wuzhishan sat on a gap when they suppressed the Great Sage. There is always a leeway or a glimmer of life in the way of heaven.

The Demon Ancestor split a sliver of Yuanshen and secretly eroded the Great Sage through the cracks. When he was about to succeed in 500 years, he was destroyed by Jiang Liuer's luck, but the catastrophe came.

The Return of the Great Sage 2 completely removes the hidden danger of the demon ancestor's remnant soul. As for the third?
When the time comes, I guess it's gone.

It can't be that the Great Sage always returns.

"That's a good idea."

Zhang Long nodded in approval. There was only one great sage demonization and Jiang Liuer's sacrifice. The details of the branch line were not perfect. Now Tang Cheng made up for it with sudden flashes of inspiration, and immediately ended the important branch line outside the main line, which is amazing.

Tang Cheng really has creative talent.

The characters at the location of the final final battle are all there, and in the middle, we have to go to Fangcun Mountain to subdue demons and eliminate demons.

The Return of the Great Sage 2, the framework is complete.

There are a lot of talents in chasing wind animation. With the perfect creative structure, Dasheng Returns 2 doesn't need to worry about it anymore. Some people have money, equipment, and even more money, so they can do it!

The Return of the Great Sage 2 is completely safe.

……

The footsteps from the end of December to New Year's Day are getting closer and closer, and Zhang Long's various careers are busy and orderly.

Shengxin, Tianhong Venture Capital, Xiaoxiong Bicycle, and Chasing Wind Animation can all proceed in an orderly manner according to the plan, but Longding Venture Capital is much more busy.

In addition to some previously invested projects, a film and television distribution company will also be settled in the near future.

The other thing is about Ji Feng.

In the beginning, Ji Feng planned to start a business after resigning from the original venture capital company. He has his own team and investment projects to cooperate with. He has been in the venture capital circle for so many years. Also showed great ability.

Previously, Zhang Long promised that around New Year's Day, Ji Feng's original investment project that he planned to start a business could be launched.

Although Longding has not started to participate in the past few months, the team that has reached cooperation with Ji Feng early has not given up or stopped. After all, Ji Feng has already settled in Longding, which indirectly means that the investment funds in the future are very stable.

Now, New Year's Day is coming.

In the past few months, Longding Venture Capital has integrated and managed many of Zhang Long's previous investment businesses, as well as several other investment projects, etc., and its development is on the right track.

It's time for Ji Feng's project.

"Idle fish?"

Long Ding Venture Capital, Zhang Long once again took a close look at the project investment of Ji Feng and his cooperation team, which is similar to the creative structure of the former space-time 'Salted Fish' second-hand trading platform.

Create not only an idle trading platform, but also a community based on a new lifestyle.

in this online community.

What people share can be items, or their own private time and skills, hobbies and experiences, or even space, etc. Xianyu is committed to turning leisure into idle fish and turning waste into consumption.

Before time and space, Xianyu is an idle trading platform under Alibaba, and it is the third billion-level platform created by Ali after Taobao and Tmall.

Tens of millions of people are active every day.

Needless to say, the future value prospects are very impressive, and Longding Investment will not lose a penny.

The market has not yet risen, and there are some tricks.

Of course, it is basically impossible to develop 'Xianyu' into a trillion-level platform under Alibaba in the previous life with Longding alone, but this project can find cooperation in the middle and late stages.

Just like sharing bicycles, other capital is introduced in the development process and resource channels are borrowed.

Perhaps the only difference is that there is no way to realize considerable profits in the end for shared bicycles, while 'Xianyu' can, and can be kept in hand.

This project can make a lot of money.
