I, the traveler, will guide me directly in the Mi Universe.

However, not many people would come to Rome because of this kind of news. Moreover, when they made a special trip to Rome, they had already set off for the next stop, so naturally there was nothing to worry about.

Ying and Alicia originally thought that since they were not recognized by the locals on the street, the movie might not be very popular in the local area. However, they did not expect that local fans and media were quite enthusiastic at the fan meeting. , and the accompanying staff also told them that after the release of "Unknown Holiday", the box office in Rome was pretty good, ranking among the top three movies released in the same period.

This was far beyond their expectations.

Afterwards, the two went to France and found that the situation was similar. They were not recognized when walking on the street, but the fan meeting received an enthusiastic response and the box office was not bad.

After pondering for a long time, they felt that this should not be a problem of face blindness. After all, their looks, even if they are not celebrities, are of a type that has a high rate of turning heads.

In the end, it can only be attributed to two points - one is the language barrier. Most people in Europe only know their own language. It is not that they don't understand English, but they may not be fluent and standard when speaking it. Therefore, even if someone recognizes it on the road If you don't know them, they usually won't come up to talk to them.

The other one was probably the pedestrians they met while shopping, and they didn't overlap much with the movie-watching group.

After all, this phenomenon exists in many places - locals may have never been to attractions frequently visited by out-of-towners, or have no interest in going.

Therefore, most of the pedestrians they met on those famous streets were probably tourists like them. Naturally, they were not very aware that there was a film crew from the East promoting the local area recently, but the locals who knew it did not come to respond accordingly. Place to hang out.

In any case, the overseas performance of "Untitled Holiday" is pretty good. Although it is not as good as those blockbusters with hot action and special effects scenes, its performance is still remarkable. It has gained both box office and word-of-mouth, and even Alicia is considered a celebrity because of it. I got acquainted with him overseas.

Of course, the most surprising thing about this trip was that at the first stop in Rome, Ying discovered that there were fans asking her if she was the director of "Honkai Academy".

Although he knew that Station Y was a global video site, and that comments in various foreign languages ​​could often be seen under the comment section of "Honkai Academy", Yingying still did not expect that this time he would come to promote "Unnamed Holiday". You can also meet the audience of "Honkai Academy".

Later, Ying asked the staff to investigate and found out that "Honkai Academy" also performed very well overseas. It may be because two of the leading actors, Kiana and Bronya, one has a Western European appearance. , and the other is because of its Eastern European appearance, it is extremely popular in Europe. It can even be said to be the most successful online drama or TV series launched by China last year, or even one of them.

The reason why Yingying didn't notice this situation is that "Honkai Gakuen" was only released in the Chinese version at the beginning. Although this version can also be seen overseas through the Y station, there are only a few people who understand Chinese or are willing to chew raw meat. , and when various foreign language versions were uploaded, she happened to be busy filming "Unnamed Holiday".

At that time, it seemed that she had indeed received a call from the Y station staff, but she didn't take it to heart at all. She subconsciously brought back the situation before the time travel. She felt that domestic dramas could only radiate Southeast Asia or something, and this world Southeast Asia simply belongs to China, so even this expectation is gone.

Unexpectedly, the different external output capabilities of the two worlds, coupled with the ancestral issues of Kiana and Bronya, resulted in the drama being highly discussed at least in Europe. However, she made some miscalculations.

The second thing is that when station Y calculates the income according to the cycle, it does not list the click-through rate, completion rate, etc. of each country separately, but sums them up and gives money. In this way, the final screen It is also impossible to get a glimpse of the fact that there is such a large overseas market from the accounts obtained.

Fortunately, it’s not too late to find out now.

At the very least, Ying knew that among the actors captured under his camera, not only Alicia walked out of the door, but Kiana and the others also did the same.

Just look at Eden and you will know that there is a big difference between global superstars and superstars in China.

Chapter 183 "Anti-Entropy" and "Second Collapse"

This discovery made Ying feel overjoyed, because it means that when the "Honkai Academy" game is launched in the future, there will also be a player base overseas, and the global market can be opened faster.

In order to avoid the limelight during this round of overseas announcements, Ying and Alicia took a full month to return to China.

Immediately after returning to China, "Unknown Holiday" has been completely released. The final box office reached 13.2 billion, surpassing last year's "囧" and becoming the first box office in China's film history.

Of course, Ying knew that if nothing unexpected happened, China, just like the world before she traveled, would soon experience a box office explosion, and her first place would not last long.

However, no matter how long it lasted, she still got first place.

In addition, last summer's movie "Honkai Gakuen" dominated the summer season, and many film and television capitals took notice, believing that Yingying's success was due to Lily, a niche personality that has been ignored by capital for a long time.

In this regard, Ying did not take it seriously.

If the subject of Lily is really attracting money, why has capital favored Dangai and Sweet Pet over the years?

Speaking of basics, whether "Honkai Academy" or "Unnamed Holiday" can achieve results far beyond outsiders' expectations, it is not because of the so-called Lily's sexual orientation, but because of a simpler, yet more difficult reason - —The script is good and well-produced, and the entire crew did not fool the audience into thinking they were fools.

And what about those film and television capital?

Rather than saying that they are here to make TV series or movies, it is better to say that they are here to make money. They conduct user research directly before filming to see what themes people like to watch, and then arrange and combine the keywords obtained from the research results into a script outline. , you can start looking for the leading actors among your own young talents and flowers, and finally choose a tool director, plus a team of intern screenwriters who can be manipulated at will.

That's it, it's a big deal if the things you shoot can gain real public recognition.

In contrast, some scripts adapted from novel IPs or game IPs, no matter how the casting is selected and whether most of the production costs are used to attract traffic or to produce, in fact, the sincerity is less, unless the entire team I haven't read the original work at all, so the adaptation is a mess.

Of course, there are counter-examples that do not follow the original work at all but have achieved success. For example, the most famous "The Wandering Earth", whether it is the first or second part, is actually just a copy of "The Wandering Earth" The novel is used as the background, and the plot is completely deliberated by the screenwriter, director and other creative teams themselves.

Well, as for the novel and a certain feature-length animation written by Liu, it is really a tragic adaptation.

Ying and Alicia, who returned from overseas, managed to avoid the heat of their official announcement of their relationship.

After all, there is an endless stream of news of all kinds in the entertainment industry. Even if there is no news, those capitals still have to create some news in order not to lose their traffic so quickly.

Therefore, Ying was able to carry out follow-up work in a low-key manner.

It is worth mentioning that since "Untitled Holiday" has already recovered its capital before it was released, about one-third of the 13.2 billion box office received, or 4.4 million, is the profit created by this movie.

By giving tens of millions of profits to the studio, she can completely get rid of debts and become an ordinary contracted director.

Ten million. For today's TV dramas, even if they film the second season of "Honkai Academy" web drama, the income will be far greater than this number.

The original plan was that if the second season follows the timeline, it should be filming the plot of the manga "Moon Shadow Arc".

But later, Ying felt that "Moon Shadow Chapter" was actually very suitable to be used as the main storyline of the game. After all, it involved the source of the Silence Gem in Kiana's body. It would be more intuitive if placed in the game.

Yes, although the Honkai Impact series started as a web series, Ying will eventually be shaped with the game as its core.

Who said that the small money earned from games is difficult to compare with other forms?

After excluding the Moon Shadow arc, there are only two content suitable for adaptation. One is the "Anti-Entropy" visual novel, and the other is the "Second Collapse" manga.

Ying plans to start these two parts at the same time. After all, the overlapping characters involved are roughly Otto and Fu Hua. The shooting time can be coordinated by adjusting the shooting schedule.

"Anti-Entropy" is still presented in the form of a web drama. If the performance is good in the future, it will be broadcast on stars like the first season of "Anti-Entropy".

The specific filming is planned to be left to Pera. The other party is now filming such a TV series and can completely take charge of it. He just needs to persuade the big guys at Anti-Entropy Technology to spare some time to participate in the filming.

However, I don't think it's a big problem. I think the other party won't refuse it for a small amount of money.

Otherwise, how would they collect the money to make a large figure of Arahato?

As for "Second Collapse", Ying intends to realize her dream of a big movie, so she will direct it herself.

The acting training for the leading actors can be carried out now. For example, Xilin, the other party is a designer and has no foundation at all. It is just in time to take advantage of the film preparation period to open an acting improvement class to improve her acting skills.

It’s just that it seems that this web drama and a big movie have some endings...

Emmmm…

I am a little worried whether the actor who plays Otto will experience the tragic experience of being thrown rotten eggs on the street by viewers who have watched online dramas and movies...

That's right, just as Siegfried was played by a professional drama actor, Otto was also looking for an actor. After all, when Ying was studying the history of this world, he discovered that Otto did exist, and even He is the founder of Tianming Group.

However, Tianming Group is a "hundred-year-old company", and Otto has been dead for more than half a century. Even his ashes were carried to famous mountains and rivers. She even dug up the grave to make a skeleton to participate in the show. Less than.

After planning the shooting plan, Ying submitted the fresh project and the script he had written to the studio the next day.

Given the current momentum, both plans were naturally passed quickly.

It won’t be until about a month before filming can begin.

Chapter 184 The story belonging to the girls opens a new chapter

The next day, when I received an invitation from Golden Courtyard Studio to ask several big names from Anti-Entropy to participate in "Anti-Entropy", it is said that a lobster-headed doctor from Anti-Entropy Technology went crazy that day.

However, after getting angry, this person immediately packed up his things and ran to the crew.

There was no other reason. If she continued to stay at Anti-Entropy Technology, she was afraid that she would be angered to death by the two new employees-Fimilis and Jiuxiao.

Ying did not expect that the reason why Tesla, Einstein, Joachim, Joyce, Planck, Schrödinger, Edison and others rushed to the "Anti-Entropy" crew overnight was actually because he had passed the Eden introduces two past employees who were in charge of the game department.

It can only be said that it was unintentional.

On the other side, when Siren received the movie invitation for "Second Collapse" and became the first heroine, she was completely confused. Then she pinched Bella next to her hard and saw the latter grinning. Only then did he confirm that he was not dreaming.

"Bella, tell me, why did the director want a designer like me?"

Xilin said somewhat speechlessly.

Bella also promoted the role invitation in the mailbox on her phone: "Not just you, but me, the new idol, also received the notification? Well, it's okay. Didn't Sakura-senpai say it before? Directors are very good at training new actors. Yes, so we don’t need to worry about acting. The only thing we need to worry about is... Xilin, your schedule of playing games at night and sleeping during the day must be corrected starting from today."

Xilin: "...Bella, please be accommodating. This music game has recently launched an event. After I get the reward, I promise to sleep well!"

Bella: "No!"

Celine: "..."

Soon, a certain purple-haired designer classmate was dragged directly to the bedroom by the 'student' he liked and forced to take a rest.

On the other side, at Hollandale's house, Cecilia looked at the invitation in her hand and looked at her daughter: "This is the person who wrote "Holiday in the Twist" and made the first-ever movie "Honkai Academy" Did Ji He, the director of "Unnamed Holiday", ask you to pass it on to me?"

Youlandel nodded upon hearing this: "That's right, so mom, do you plan to accept this film contract?"

Cecilia raised her eyebrows: "Yes, why not? Your mother and I have never been exposed to filmmaking in my whole life, so I can't miss it. As for St. Freya Academy, I believe Teresa will take care of it."

Hearing this, Youlandel couldn't help but raise her forehead and reminded: "Aunt Theresa also needs to participate in "The Second Collapse"."

"...Then Kirara Shigure?"

"Aunt Kirara Shigure will also participate in "The Second Collapse"."

"Then Jizi. And you, Landale, and your little girlfriend Rita, aren't you the seniors and vice-presidents of the student union? At this time, it's time for you to use your talents."

Cecilia patted her daughter on the shoulder and said with a serious look on her face.

Hearing this, the latter's pretty face immediately turned red: "Mom, what are you talking about! Rita and I are not who you think! But... you, your aunt, and Aunt Shigure Kirara are not in the academy When we are here, Rita and I will assist Teacher Jizi and take care of the school."

"Yeah, good boy."

After saying that, Cecilia added: "Speaking of which, during the Chinese New Year last year, it seems that you went to meet Rita's parents, Hollandale? When will you bring Rita home to meet me? Although you are not married for a long time, It’s still early, but it’s important to meet the parents of both parties early and seal the marriage first. It’s hard to find a virtuous and capable girl like Rita these days, so you have to book her in advance. .”

Youlandel held her forehead again: "Mom, did you listen to my explanation? You told me and Rita..."

However, Hollander's words were directly interrupted by Cecilia: "In that case, how about I introduce a partner to Rita? Hmm... Rita seems to like petite types. So, what do you think? How about Bronya?”

"Mom!"

Hollander finally couldn't help it anymore, and after stopping Cecilia's random behavior, she said dejectedly: "Okay, okay... This summer vacation, can I take Rita home? "

As she said that, Youlandel couldn't help but moan a little in her heart. There were still three months until summer vacation. How could she spend three months chasing this person?How sad!

If Cecilia and another client Rita knew what Hollander was thinking at this time, they would probably feel even more worried.

How come my daughter/the person I like is such a piece of wood!

"Anti-Entropy" and "Second Collapse"?

Kiana looked at the studio's recent shooting schedule and found that she seemed to only have a small cameo role at the end of "Second Collapse", and it was basically just a pose, and then through the CG technology of Anti-Entropy Technology , just like what was done in the web drama "Honkai Academy" Season [-], merging a little Kiana.

In other words, by the end of the year, my work will be very easy.

The same goes for Mei Yi.

In this case, should I implement what I learned from Senior Alicia later on Mei?

Speaking of which, Kiana asked Ying for advice at the beginning.

Who knows, but Kiana actually misjudged her. Ying was completely passive and had no experience to share at all.

The only advantage of the other party is probably that he did not fool himself, but told the truth.

Therefore, Kiana directly asked Alicia for experience in pursuing people.

Just the notes, Kiana took a lot of them!

Pulling out the notes she had excerpted, Kiana showed a firm look on her face: "Well, Senior Alicia said it well, if you want to capture a woman's heart, you must first capture her stomach. , it’s decided, I will cook in person tomorrow and try to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop!”

Mei: Listen to me, thank you Alicia.

It can only be said that spring is here. In this season of revival of all things, the breath of youth gradually begins to stir, and the stories belonging to girls also open a new chapter.

Chapter 185 "Anti-Entropy" opening ceremony

When "Anti-Entropy" and "Second Collapse" are still in the preparation period and have not been announced to the public, fans of Alicia feel both pain and joy.

The reason why I say happy is naturally because, after the incident of Xiao Xianrou forcing CP speculation at the end of July last year, Alicia’s Weibo, which rarely updated, has become more frequent recently.

Of course, for Alicia, who used to appear in several variety shows a year and was a regular guest in at least one of them, it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t even use WeChat. Fans can see her on TV, computers or mobile phones anyway. .

But not now. Since "Future Project, Strange Life", Alicia has not accepted a variety show for almost half a year, although "Unknown Holiday" starring the other party has just been released, and the other party is also a national major There have been road shows in cities, but it will take some time for her fans to adapt to this "new normal".

Therefore, Alicia has recently started to frequently update Weibo on Weibo, which is undoubtedly a good thing for fans.
