The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 9 President?go back to your fish pond
At nine o'clock in the evening, the lights are bright.

In a brightly lit first-floor office building.

"No zombies?"

"No."

"No ghosts?"

"No."

"There is no harem tenderness and young hero sentimentality?"

"No."

"No pen fairy?"

"No."

"There are no turbulent waves that are squeezed out?"

"……No."

"There is no violence and color-related content?"

"Negligible violence, no color at all!"

"Then why did Mr. Zhang want to spend so much money on this movie?"

Zhang Jingyan glanced at Kang Hua, the chief content director who sat silently at the head of the long conference table, and then stared sharply at the middle-aged man sitting opposite him.

"President Wang's opinion is not acceptable to me."

"Indeed, it's not only our fantasy world, but also the other big platforms that are mostly shoddy movies, but what I want to say is that we can't put the cart before the horse because of this."

"I've been in this industry for many years, and from what I understand, the fact that the market is flooded with these violent erotic ghosts as gimmicks doesn't mean the audience really likes them."

"This just shows the scarcity of high-quality content in the market. It's not because the audience likes violent pornography, they cater to the audience, but the audience has no choice at all. The market is full of these low-quality content. These low-quality content are difficult to attract viewers. They I can only make a fuss about violent erotic ghosts."

"I always believe that audiences must love and buy into truly high-quality content. The public is hungry for high-quality original content."

"Not only I have seen this, but other platforms have also seen this. Mr. Wang should know that Penguin, Tianhu, and Fengshen are all vying for high-quality content creators. They have recruited many directors and screenwriters, and they all claim to create high-quality content creators. self-produced movies and TV shows."

"Our fantasy world is already a step behind, because we haven't really seen the changes in the market. The market is already changing, and my country's film and television industry is changing in a good direction. Left behind by an ever-improving audience."

Facing Zhang Jingyan's words, the chief content director who was thinking silently and Mr. Wang who was mad at him were a little dazed.

"...Mr. Zhang is a bit sensational, isn't this one night when the comet comes, is the high-quality content you said the audience is hungry for?"

"Mr. Wang, haven't you finished watching this movie?"

"...Mr. Zhang, you called me yesterday after 12 o'clock in the evening, that is, this morning. Is it my fault that I fell asleep halfway?"

Mr. Wang turned his attention to Chief Content Director Kang Hua again: "Mr. Kang, this movie is really hypnotic. If you don't believe me, go and watch it!"

Zhang Jingyan kept smiling: "Mr. Wang, it's your loss if you didn't finish watching."

"Yes, it's my loss. I lost the dark circles under my eyes today."

"Okay, stop arguing."

Content Director Kang Hua broke the silence.

"Mr. Zhang, I will leave this matter to you to discuss. As long as it is within the bottom line, you can promise. You are right. Huanshi has been the boss for many years, and he is a little lax and insensitive to market changes. I have submitted a document to the president's office before, suggesting to create a high-quality self-made content channel. Mr. Lin generally has a positive attitude towards this suggestion. He is already a step behind others, so we can no longer hesitate and hesitate. This " Comet" is the first shot of our boutique content channel, I believe in your vision and judgment, give me a good start!"

"Mr. Kang, with your words, I can let go. I have some preliminary ideas about the publicity." Zhang Jingyan was a little happy, and the harvest was far greater than she imagined.

"Mr. Zhang, do you know that you are the manager of the purchasing department?"

Zhang Jingyan ignored Mr. Wang who was somewhat dissatisfied with the violation of his authority: "Mr. Kang, what do you think?"

"I just said, Mr. Zhang, you can do it freely. After the president's office approves the opinion of establishing a self-made high-quality content channel, I will set up a temporary working group. I am the team leader, and Mr. Zhang is the deputy team leader. Mr. Wang, you have to cooperate well with Mr. Zhang's work."

……

"Hey?"

"Hi Mr. Chen, did I bother you so late?"

"Oh, it's Mr. Zhang, what's the matter?"

"Want to hear about our latest partnership terms for the movie Comet?"

"...Mr. Zhang, it's already 11 o'clock in the evening."

The efficiency of Huanshi.com's action completely exceeded Chen Jingxing's expectations, and it only took two days for the two parties to reach an agreement.

Huanshi.com obtained the exclusive copyright of "Comet" with the condition of 280 million plus advertising account sharing, and the authorization period was 10 years.

The reason why there is no effective on-demand account sharing is because Huanshi.com plans to play this movie for free. At this time, smartphones have not yet fully replaced feature phones, and the mobile terminals of major long-form video platforms are still growing at a high speed. The stage has not yet been completed, and it is still in the initial stage of burning money to grab users. Many online movies and online dramas can be watched for free. After all, Huanshi.com has less than 50 member-paying users at this time.

The reason why Chen Jingxing signed the contract readily was not that the 280 million yuan and advertising account were the most important thing, and he didn't expect "Comet" to bring him much return. At this stage, what he wanted was influence, to let the film and television industry see him value, laying the groundwork for the next movie.

The next film that Chen Jingxing plans should be released in theaters. He does not lack the funds for filming, but it is difficult to complete a screen film with the newly established DreamWorks studio alone. It is necessary to introduce powerful film and television in the industry. Production and distribution companies, of course, online video platforms like Fantasy World are also good.

What Chen Jingxing valued most was Huanshiwang's commitment to "Comet". Of course, he is not really a student who just came out of the ivory tower. After all, he still has memories of another plane, so under his strong request Shi also wrote part of the publicity methods of "Comet" into the agreement.

Huanshi wants to set up a sky theater section, which is a bit like the youth theater of Tianhu.com. The sky theater will start off with three online movies including "Comet", followed by two TV dramas invested by Huanshi. After all, time is urgent, and there are not many works that can be sold at once. This year, we will try the water first. Next year, Fantasy World will increase investment in self-produced dramas and movies, and vow to turn Sky Theater into a boutique film and television channel. .

The reason why the time is so tight is that Tianhu.com’s youth theater will be launched soon this year. It’s already the second season. Last year, Tianhu.com’s first launch of the youth theater has already shocked the industry and gained a good reputation. This year’s influence is bound to be It is even bigger, and the launch of the Sky Theater by Huanshi.com is naturally going to compete with the Youth Theater.

The above reasons were all brought up by Zhang Jingyan when discussing the publicity steps with Chen Jingxing. Although he didn't explain clearly, Chen Jingxing also had the knowledge of the plane of the previous life, and he could basically guess the idea of ​​Huanshiwang.

The reason Huanshi is so wary of Tianhu’s Youth Theater lies in the conversion rate of paying members. Although the major platforms are still in the stage of burning money and enclosing land, they basically have a consensus on the means of making money in the future, which is to convert paying users .

Several major platforms can also see that Tianhu's youth theater is indeed effective in increasing the conversion rate of members, so they are vying to follow suit.

But Chen Jingxing is not so optimistic about this. Presumably several major platforms will soon understand that self-made online dramas have a future, but online movies have a somewhat tortuous future. At least in the foreseeable ten years in the future, movies The first choice is still theaters, big screens, and box office. The Internet just gives them an additional channel for publicity and distribution of copyrights.

Real online movies want to become a big trend, and some are waiting.

But it is naturally impossible for Chen Jingxing to remind the fantasy world, why not take off with the east wind?The more Huanshi attaches importance to it, the better it will be for him.

Now, he had another drudgery to deal with.

"Director Chen, please lower your head."

"Lift your chin a little bit."

"Teacher Ren, is it ready? It's going to be recorded soon."

"It'll be fine right now."

"Director Chen, don't you really need to change your clothes?"

"No need, isn't this just an interview? It's not an awards ceremony."

"Pfft..."

Chen Jingxing turned around.

The one who made the sound was a boy in a slim-fit suit, with a white shirt buttoned up to the highest button, which is the abstinence style popular in the president's film and television dramas nowadays.

Chen Jingxing was stunned, and blamed himself for being cheap, he didn't expect that someone would actually treat this small interview as an awards ceremony.

The boy in the suit, who made a voice that was three parts disdainful, three parts ridiculous and four parts evil, had already replied with a cold expression before Chen Jingxing's gaze turned to him. He could be called the spokesperson of cool, handsome and tyrannical.

Chen Jingxing felt that this person's face and expression were somewhat familiar, and he immediately remembered, isn't this the regular visitor on the homepage of Huanshi.com recently, the male protagonist of the web drama "President's Lover"?At this time, his cold face is exactly the same as the expression on the homepage promotional poster.

Looking at the president who was sitting on the makeup chair, only facing Chen Jingxing's gaze sideways, looking tired, and wanted to close his eyes and rest his mind, and not disturb anyone, Chen Jingxing curled his lips and turned his gaze back indifferently.

He is a star, and I am a director, and they don't compete in the same dimension. My master is a great director who will be famous all over the world in the future. Why bother to share his knowledge and give him something to talk about in the future?
Besides, such an outdated personality as a domineering president can’t be pretended for a few years. In the future, the one who will most capture the fans of mothers, sisters and girlfriends will be those who are pure and flawless. They have never held hands with girls. They are ignorant of some common sense in life. Can't understand the driving color joke and other male group CPs are handsome and unaware of the occasional hiccups, a soft and cute little milk dog who is easy to be clay, president?Oh, let's go home and eat fish ponds.

The moment Chen Jingxing turned his gaze back, the quiet dressing room where he couldn't even breathe became noisy again.
