China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 544 Four Animated Movies +X
3 month 5 number.

The eighth floor of Xingchen Media Building once again welcomed a large flow of people. More than two hundred media gathered together. Before the press conference officially started, some familiar media people could not help but exchange a few words with each other.

"Old Wu, you are familiar with Xingchen Media. Do you have any inside information?"

Wu Qiang, the former editor-in-chief of Xinlang Entertainment and now the editor-in-chief of Toutiao Entertainment, shook his head repeatedly: "How do I know the inside story?"

"Besides, isn't the press conference starting soon?"

"Hey, I'm just curious. It's more than three billion yuan. Lu Yuan is too rich."

Hearing this, Wu Qiang curled his lips secretly.

He didn't really know how rich Lu Yuanduo was, but he was definitely richer than most people imagined.

Wu Qiang was also present at the Star Charity Night a few days ago. Seeing Lu Yuan chatting and laughing with the gang could confirm this from the side.

The post-85s generation hangs out with the business tycoons who were born in the 60s and 70s. How can they do without ordering goods?

How did Shanda make its fortune back then?

soon.

what's going on?
What about the creative team?
"Dear guests, friends from the media, and all movie-loving audiences, good morning."

Still empty-handed, still alone.

That’s the real gold mine.

Not to mention anything else, their big boss of Byte, the initial investment was Lu Yuan.

Seeing that he was empty-handed and only one person on the stage, the guests and media reporters at the scene showed shocked expressions.

People have money and feelings.

Their employees don't know exactly how much they invested, but the shares probably won't be too small.

"I feel that everyone took time out of their busy schedules to attend this press conference. I am Liu Yan from Xingchen Media, and I am honored to stand in this position."

After his simple five-minute speech, Liu Yan changed the subject.

"Next, I would like to invite Wang Wei, the head of Chasing Light Studio, to take the stage."

For this press conference, Xingchen Media adopted the new product press conference model of technology companies.

Boss Jia and Belt Xu can build cars using PPT, but Star Media can’t hold a new film press conference using PPT?
What's more, Xingchen Media is not just trying to make a big deal, but is a serious official.

Therefore, Wu Qiang was indeed surprised to learn that Xingchen Media invested US$6 million, but not very surprised.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Yan delivered a speech as usual, including the past achievements of Xingchen Media and the prospects for film industrialization.

What a legend.

The online movie ticketing software Meituan Movies is also inseparable from Xingchen Media, as well as the popular phenomenon-level game.

As soon as the lights on the stage came on, Star Media CEO Liu Yan walked to the front of the stage.

Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
Amid applause, Wang Wei slowly walked to the center of the stage.

Although the popularity of eating chicken is not as high as that of National Legend, its popularity is no less than that of Fantasy and World of Warcraft.

"thank you all."

After a brief self-introduction, Wang Wei went directly to the topic.

"First of all, I want to introduce to you the first major animated movie - "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World."

As soon as he finished speaking, a PPT appeared on the rear display screen in time.

"This movie will reinterpret Nezha in traditional Chinese mythology from a new perspective."

"Currently, the production of "Nezha" has officially begun, with a total investment of US$1.2 million, and the production cycle is expected to be about two years."

"Nezha" is a link in the Fengshen universe.

However, there was no mention of the 'Fengshen Cinematic Universe' plan at the press conference.

Because the theme of Fengshen is a public IP.

Star Media can shoot it, and other film companies can also shoot it.

This is not.

This year's Spring Festival animated film "Journey to the West: Upheaval in Heaven" followed suit. After its release, fans almost scolded the production company.

The modeling has a strong CG flavor in online games.

The hair on the Great Sage's face is all textured.

Most of the production costs were spent on trailers and marketing. Although no money was made in the end, the producer's original intention was not to make money. DDDD.

Once the movie is released, mission accomplished.

Regardless of the box office, that's all extra.

Precisely because anyone can get involved in the public IP, Star Media did not mention the concept of Fengshen Universe at all.

People and Marvel are different, those characters are copyrighted.

Subsequently.

Wang Wei introduced three more animated movies, one is the sequel to "The Return of the Great Sage", and the other two are "Erlang Zhenjun Yang Jian" and "Jiang Ziya".

All three films are super productions with an investment of US$1.2 million.

but.

The specific release time is still unknown.

These three projects are still in the PPT stage.

no way.

Not enough manpower.

Although many domestic universities have animation production majors, the students trained by universities are not the same as the talents that Star Media wants.

Graduates of similar majors still need to study for one to two years to enter light-chasing animation.

This greatly increases labor costs.

In the next few years, similar situations will be much better. At the end of last year, the above organized a symposium on literature and art.

Like Fudan, Zhongchuan, Wuhan University, and Nortel, some colleges and universities will carry out curriculum reform pilots and modify course subjects in a targeted manner to meet the needs of enterprises.

After the introduction of the four animated films, the audience was naturally exclaimed. No one expected that today would be a special session for animated films?

Just when everyone thought the next speaker was about to take the stage.

Wang Wei didn't move.

"Ahem, the next speaker is still me."

"The fifth work announced today is..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the PPT behind him changed the scene, and two big words were displayed on the screen.

"Three-body"!
Yes.

"Three-Body", it's coming.

Not a cartoon, but a movie!

In order to pass the review of "The Three-Body Problem", there were not a hundred meetings, but dozens of meetings.

Mainly because some of the content is quite sensitive.

Domestic review documents are divided into categories, including movies, TV series, animations, big screen, small screen, online dramas, etc.

The rules are different in each area.

Nowadays, film and television works with time-travel themes basically have no chance of reaching the big screen, not even the small screen.

If "Dream Back to the Qing Dynasty" is released this year, it will only be broadcast on video websites.

In fact, the passing of "The Three-Body Problem" has something to do with the timing. Compared with "The Three-Body Problem", "Kite" directed by Liu Yunlong is the real big one.

This TV series was completed last year.

However, the finished product is currently experiencing a little problem.

Some plots need to be deleted.

This is also a problem that Star Media needs to face. The adaptation of "Murder Officials" can be said to have been revised again and again.

The script was reviewed five times by Optoelectronics, and a total of more than 200 revision suggestions were made.

A five-person screenwriting team spent a full year revising the script before it was finally approved. In the end, for the sake of dramatic effect, "Undocumented Crime" could not be a star.

It can only be broadcast online.

The road to review for "The Three-Body Problem" would also be extremely long. If it weren't for the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, if it weren't for Star Media's continuous commitment to film industrialization, if it weren't for the starring role of Lu Yuan...

If one is missing, it won’t even make it to theaters.
