The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 186 I Hate "Nepotism"

He Xi, the head of Dunhuang's screenwriting team, felt that he had really endured too much.

Ever since Wang Wei hung the carrot of "Superhero Movie Universe" in front of his eyes, he has never had a moment of relaxation.

After studying for more than half a year, watching countless superhero comics, superhero animations and superhero movies, and even dreaming of superheroes fighting, he feels more and more that the "superhero universe" has great potential——

With different superheroes as the protagonists, Easter eggs are used to pave the way between each film. They are independent and connected with each other, continuously extending the vitality of the movie universe.

When the prototype of the superhero universe was set up in his mind, the main copyright target was also set up - it was Chasing Light Comic Company, one of the three major animation companies in China.

Among the other two, Ogilvy Comics launched a crazy extension-style merger and acquisition in order to go public, and then took on huge debts; in order to repay the debt, it had already sold out the copyrights of many of its classic IPs, and most of them fell into the hands of the Big Five.

Although the Big Five failed to fully develop its potential, He Xi didn't think there was a chance to snatch food from the Big Five.

As for Longyou comics, they have been hooking up with Tang Yu Media, which can basically be regarded as Tang Yu's dish.

Only chasing light comics remain.

The past few years have been difficult for Chasing Light Comics. With the rise of novel entertainment methods such as video games, after comics were no longer popular with young people, the company once mortgaged its IP copyright to the bank for funds.

However, to He Xi's surprise, Tao Kang, the new general manager of Chasing Light Comics, managed to take back most of the core copyrights one after another after taking office.

After visiting on behalf of Dunhuang, He Xi was surprised or delighted, because the other party had a similar idea——

Assemble the comic characters under its umbrella, interrelated and unified under a large enough structure, and carry out film and television, to create "Legend of Heroes Chasing Light"!
But thinking about it, it doesn't seem too surprising.

In fact, in the world of comics, groups of characters to fight monsters have existed for a long time, but no one thought of putting it on the big screen.

In the film and television industry, for the sake of money, screenwriters, directors and producers have been thinking about serializing film and television almost all year round.

After all, with the first work as a base, the safety factor of the sequel is far greater than that of purely original works.

This is naturally seen by the comic company.

Keen, I naturally realized that I had natural serialized adaptation materials in my hands.

Tao Kang, the general manager of Chasing Light Comics, is undoubtedly keen.

However, the film and television road he envisioned did not start with movies.

There is no way, the cost of adapting a film is too high, not to mention chasing light, which is not easy to live in now, even in its heyday, adapting it into a film is not an easy task.

In this case, adapting it into animation seems to be the only option.

——This animation is not an animated movie, but a TV animation.

Because compared to exquisite animated movies, the cost of ordinary TV animation is much lower than that of movies or even ordinary TV series.

In short, first adapt a feature-length animation, and then adapt it to a live-action movie when it is appropriate—this is the road to film and television for the "Heroes Universe" planned by Tao Kang.

Naturally, after only meeting once, the two people who had similar ideas began to cherish each other—only in ideas.

Because, just as He Xi showed a little intention of buying, Tao Kang immediately "ugly rejected".

Oh no, it should be "weak rejection"——

Unlike He Xi, who focuses on the box office of movies, Tao Kang pays more attention to peripheral development.

It is difficult to generate too much peripheral income by relying on comics alone, after all, the communication power is limited.

Only by making it film and television can it expand its communication power and open up surrounding markets.

The best film and television, of course, is to produce a high-quality live-action movie, as He Xi said.

This is the plan with the best promotional effect, but it is also the most costly, time-consuming and labor-intensive plan-the poor should not think too much.

Second, it is animated.

Here comes the question—not to mention the gap in overall strength, just looking at animation production, broadcast channels, and peripheral development, how can Dunhuang compare with Lianya Entertainment?
He Xi was speechless.

In fact, he also felt that, compared to his original "original manga-movie" development process, the other party's "original manga-TV animation-live-action movie" triple-jump structure might be better.

After all, superhero movies require a lot of visual effects, and the production cost is really too high. It is better to try and make mistakes with TV animation first.

However, when it comes to animation, Lianya Entertainment is like a mountain, standing between Dunhuang and Chasing Light Comics.

To put it bluntly, even if he wants to sell himself, Chasing Guang only wants to sell himself once, and Dunhuang's thighs are obviously not thick enough.

Tao Kang even went the other way, trying to poach him, which made He Xi dumbfounded.

What's even more frustrating is that Lianya Entertainment expressed that they would watch-not-read the Chasing Light comics that were actively seeking cooperation! ! !
Lianya Entertainment's own TV animation adapted from myths, legends, and historical stories can't develop it. How can it develop superhero animations with relatively ordinary influence?

Do you think Tao Kang will turn around now?

No, he still wants to "lick" Lianya Entertainment.

Because he is not only a businessman, but also an avid animation enthusiast. Even if Dunhuang bids higher, he still focuses on "making good works"-Dunhuang at that time had no achievements in animation, and he had no achievements in movies. It's just a recovery.

Until Toy Story came!
For the time being, no one knows how the birth of this 3D animation movie will have a profound impact on live-action movies.

However, as Lianya Entertainment also began to transform, internal personnel were in turmoil, and there was no time to deal with chasing light comics.

Tao Kang finally had his eyes on Dunhuang.

The construction of "Superhero Universe" revealed a glimmer of light, He Xi was of course happy, but at the same time slightly depressed——

"Just because of a Toy Story, did you change your mind?"

If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have to spend so much saliva if I threw this movie in front of him.

Well, before he didn't know that his own animation production level was so high, it was so high that it created a new era when he made a move.

Tao Kang shook his head: "What really changed my mind was that Teacher Ma joined you!"

"Teacher Ma?"

"Ma Qingshi, the animation master, I was an intern under him when I first entered the industry, but he scolded me so badly that I was not suitable for the animation industry." Tao Kang showed a look of reminiscence.

The corner of He Xi's mouth twitched: "..."

So are you a masochist?
"It was he who recommended me to join the light-chasing manga later on. Now, I have become the leader of the light-chasing manga." Tao Kang continued.

Well, then you changed your mind because of his kindness?
Tao Kang continued: "Mr. Ma is a person who strives for perfection. Since he has chosen to join you, it means that your company is much stronger than I expected. If so, why don't I consider joining you?"

This was the first time he revealed in front of He Xi that he wanted to join.

But He Xi just wanted to hehe——

I thought it was my perseverance, my unprecedented concept, and the worst thing was the sympathy between us that made you "come back";

In the end, you told me, it was all because of... "nepotism"! ? ?
hateful!Can it give you a sense of accomplishment?
……

　Gan!Why did you go back to the evening update again? ? ?
