Chapter 435 Official Shooting (Earth)

It wasn't until a large number of "Heroes: Air Force Fighting Soul" articles were released that Truman and Feng Zikai realized that they had made an own mistake. They didn't have to be so honest. All plots related to the "mysterious element" have been completely deleted.

It’s not that there shouldn’t be deletions and changes. If you want to release it in mainland China, you can’t have such elements in the movie. Truman and Feng Zikai are clear about it, but it shouldn’t be so directional. After all, after the deletion, the two versions will be compared. , all the "fog of plot" they reserved have been seen.

As a partner, Lu Linlang had never understood all the content of the plot, so naturally she couldn't control the situation. She could only sigh for this kind of oolong incident, and she didn't even know how to make up for it, so as to avoid the same situation next time. Situation happens.

For Netflix, this is not a bad thing. On the contrary, it has triggered a wave of discussions about "Heroes: Air Force Fighting Spirit". The next installment in the "Heroes" series.

However, according to the statistics of Netflix, "Heroes: Air Force Fighting Spirit" is not very popular in Asia, especially in Japan. The ratings can be described as dismal. It is a matter of position, but there are still too many "positions".

This is impossible, war always has a villain, and the villain in this series is Japan, but the Japanese are indeed too sensitive, the enemy in the last chapter of the movie is the United States, and it is also in North America. More than 100 million viewers watched, and at the same time, this number continued to rise as the mainland version was spread to North America.

What's more interesting is that Netflix has gained some users in the mainland market. Of course, users cannot order directly in this region, but they can avoid it through various means, and Netflix can easily identify these users through big data. .

This is a surprise, and it also means that Truman does have a large fan base all over the world.

To celebrate the hit of "Heroes of the Air Force", Netflix CEO Mark Randolph called Truman on the other side of the ocean. In addition to congratulating him, he was also asking Truman about the theme of the next episode. time online.

Because Mark talks too much.

All Truman heard was congratulations.

He said modestly: "Because the budget is too small, we can only make fuss about the script to attract the audience. This is what we should do."

When Mark heard such remarks, he couldn't help but feel that Truman was implying that the budget he gave was too small.

Indeed, the quality of Truman's work has indeed exceeded the limit that can be achieved with more than 1000 million US dollars. If this budget is multiplied by 10 and it is released in theaters, it may win a five-six-seven-eight billion box office.

As far as Mark knows, after the launch of "Heroes of the Air Force", several TV stations have begun to contact Truman. plan.

Thinking of this, Mark said: "CH, if you need more budget for the next episode, you can tell me."

So the budget for the second episode of "Heroes" was raised to 2000 million US dollars. When Feng Zikai heard the news, he asked Truman with admiration, "How did you do it?".

"Mark proposed it on his own initiative." Truman said, "Others are still very good."

After learning about this, Lu Linlang said, "That's because the response to the first episode was overwhelming, and Netflix was afraid that you would run away."

Indeed, after the first episode of "Heroes" was launched, it triggered a ratings boom of nearly 1 o'clock in the country, which attracted the attention of major long-form video platforms.

Of course, even if "Heroes" Jiji breaks 2%, the long video platform cannot accept its production cost of more than 1 million yuan per episode.

But what if it were a movie?

This is the movie.

Its duration, structure, scenes, performance techniques and cast team, it is a waste of money to broadcast it for free on Six Princesses. If it is shown in theaters, it will be no problem to collect a small 10 billion box office.

Calculated in this way, the cost of an episode of 1 million is too little. If it can be shown in theaters, an episode of "Heroes" can earn several 1 million.

Although film releases face many barriers and profit distributions such as approval, scheduling, publicity, and theater distribution, not every film may be released.

But at present, the overall form of the domestic film market is that supply is less than demand, there are a large number of audiences, and there is a shortage of good movies. Judging from the quality of the finished product of the first episode of "Heroes", the next ten or twenty episodes are not bad.

When "Heroes: Air Force Fighting Soul" was broadcast for free on Six Princesses, more than one executive of a long-form video platform had this plan in mind, so a snowflake-like email flew to Lu Linlang. The conditions promised in the email were hypnotic. Lin Lang was really moved.

Not only the long video platform has extended an olive branch, but also a large number of self-recommendation letters from domestic stars and brokerage companies.

I said before that "Heroes" has to change supporting roles in each episode, and those who have been used can no longer be used. The reason is that because the protagonists are all Trumans, they will not be changed. If there is a war soap series like "Death Team", it will bring visual fatigue and questioning emotions to the audience.

Under this premise, more than ten protagonists, dozens of important supporting roles and hundreds of unimportant supporting roles are needed. This order of magnitude is comparable to that of "Harry Potter". That's why Lu Linlang received so many awards as an agent. A cover letter is also normal.

Just looking through these letters is a physical effort, and interviewing them is even more difficult. After all, no one brings money into the group. It depends on real strength. At least several rounds of communication and testing are required to determine whether an actor is qualified.

When mentioning the difficulty of this matter, Feng Zikai looked embarrassed, and Lu Linlang also said bitterly: "The emails I received are enough to hold a talent show variety show..."

Hey?
Speaking of this, Lu Linlang suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

Of course, Truman's consent must first be obtained for this matter, and Truman has no objection to this. He is now focusing on the script of the second episode of "Heroes", and his pen is biting bald every day.

Therefore, while the second episode of "Heroes" was being filmed, the large-scale acting reality show "ACTION" jointly launched by Truman Studios and Mango Channel was officially launched.

Action is a director's term.

It means that the actors or amateurs who appear on this show have a high probability of being able to actually enter the filming, which is the biggest selling point of this variety show.

But before the trailer was released, I was told that the name of the variety show could not be used in English, so I changed the name to "Official Shooting". After changing the name, I feel that my attitude has changed a lot, right?

"Official Shooting" will use well-known domestic directors as mentors, and decide on the spot whether to give the performers a contract, and after getting the contract, they will join the group, and after entering the group, the filming will start, and after the filming, they will be able to go to Netflix. .
