The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 757
Next, Boss Huang spent three days watching the first episode of Piaomiao Journey, a total of 24 episodes. From Li Qiang’s departure from the earth, to the Heavenly Court Star, and all kinds of adventures, until he reunited with Fu Shan, the first four episodes in total. Volume plot.

Gone with the Wind is a total of 24 volumes, so six seasons can be filmed, which is indeed a pretty good volume.

After Boss Huang finished reading it, he spent another day sorting out his opinions. It wasn't a big problem, but just some opinions on details.

In this regard, Peter Jackson accepted all the orders. After all, the boss's wishes are supreme. Besides, these revisions don't need to be troublesome for him. They are just small details, and they can be directly handed over to a few Huaxia assistant directors.

"One month at the latest, all the revisions can be completed, and our TV series can be released by then, but it's a pity..." Peter Jackson said with emotion, but with a hesitant expression.

"What's the pity?" Boss Huang asked with a smile.

"It's a pity that it was released in China!" Peter Jackson said, and then he realized that what he said seemed inappropriate, and quickly added, "Boss, I don't mean that it is bad to be released in China, but I said that the experience of the Chinese market I'm afraid it can't meet the cost of this TV series, and I'm afraid this TV series will suffer a lot!" said Peter Jackson.

What Peter Jackson said is correct. The cost of up to 8 million U.S. dollars really cannot be paid back by the TV series itself. This is absolutely impossible.

It's not that there are TV shows that made $8 million in history, but those are A Song of Ice and Fire or House of Cards, which will be born on the Internet in the future.

And their income is not direct, but indirect by acquiring website members, so this cannot be counted as a TV series that can make a profit of 8 million US dollars.

At present, the only TV series that can reach this figure is probably the TV series Friends, but this is the combined revenue of the ten seasons of Friends, and the single season of Piao Miao Journey has reached the level of 8 million US dollars.

So up to this moment, Peter Jackson still didn't understand what boss Huang was thinking.

He has seen too many capitals and the power behind them. He has never seen any capital that would do what Boss Huang did, to do a profitable thing that will never be seen. This is absolutely unprecedented in the film and television industry. possible things.

"Let me put it this way!" Huang He said with a smile, "You can't just look at one point of profit in doing things. In TV dramas, Piao Miao Journey really has no possibility of any profit. This is beyond doubt."

"But you have to see that we can make profits in other ways. For example, my Jiangnan Group will produce the blind box of the special edition of Piaomiao Journey, and Huahuang Yiyishou will also produce Piaomiao Journey In addition, the related games of Misty Journey are also under development, and there are countless authorizations of Misty Journey, etc., these will be the profit points of Misty Journey in the future!"

"I hope to create a universe as huge as Middle-earth. At that time, I can earn hundreds of millions of dollars every year just by selling product copyright related authorizations. Wouldn't I earn all of this money back? "

"Then this is really too long!" Peter Jackson understood Boss Huang's meaning, but still sighed.It's not like he doesn't understand the model of making money continuously by relying on IP.He even likes this kind of money-making model very much, because this kind of model means that only the high-quality goods are loved by the audience, and only by being loved by the audience can they obtain enough IP value to continue to make profits for several years or even ten years.

And if you want to produce high-quality goods, you must give the director and production team enough space and time to polish their own works. This is undoubtedly the most perfect way for the director and production team.

However, no capital in the world has ever been willing to take the initiative to choose such a method, because the money coming in this way is too slow, and you may have to wait five or six years or even more than ten years to recover the cost. What is unacceptable is that some large enterprises may have such a willingness.

But here comes the problem again, no matter how experienced a big director is, he can’t guarantee that the things he shoots will be famous in history and loved by the audience for more than ten years, so many big factories have made such attempts, but found that there is no Any effect, as time goes by, I will not dare to do such a thing again.

I didn't expect this boss Huang from China to have such courage. After all, according to Peter Jackson's own estimation, the chance of success of this work is less than half.

It’s not that Peter Jackson thinks there is anything wrong with this work, it’s just that the chances of a cost-explosive work are too low. It’s less than a 50% chance that Peter Jackson himself can give. highest probability.

In fact, even Boss Huang himself was a little apprehensive.

In the past, whether it was Bright Sword, Soldier Assault, or The Legend of Sword and Fairy, there are examples from previous lives, and these works are destined to be loved by the audience, so Boss Huang can always sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, even if he invests in Huge sums of money are also spared, without any psychological pressure.

But Piao Miao Journey is different, this is an adapted TV series that has not been verified in the previous life... If you have to talk about the experience verification of the previous life, then from the Douluo Continent similar to Piao Miao Journey, Dou Po Sky and the like, the results of the adaptation of the IP of the heroine of the Internet, it seems that it is quite unsatisfactory.

Of course, Boss Huang still has the guts to do such a thing, mainly because he believes that the failure of these changes does not lie in the original work, but in his reluctance to spend money on it.

First of all, Internet IPs like Misty Journey and Douluo Dalu are based on huge and magnificent imagination and worldview. If these things want to be brought to the screen, they need one word: money.

Without a lot of money for scenes and special effects, there will only be ridiculous cases such as fighting spirits turning horses.

In addition, it is the excessive squeeze of capital on these TV dramas. While wanting to spend less money to make TV dramas, at the same time want to use TV dramas to promote their own traffic actors, and these traffic actors not only have no acting skills, but even the traffic itself may be fake Yes, such a TV series can only be successful if it is produced.

So this time is actually an attempt by Boss Huang himself. He really wants to know, when a company invests huge sums of money and tries its best to concentrate all the things it can give on a TV series, can it produce a successful web novel? The IP comes out, and then uses this IP to expand the whole world. Boss Huang is looking forward to it very much, so he doesn't care about money.

In a word, Boss Huang is not short of money and can afford it!
Then in the next second, Boss Huang said to Peter Jackson, "Dear Mr. Jackson, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the state of rest, because there is one more thing to do for you!"

"What's the matter? Is it a promotion for a TV show? There's no problem with that. In fact, I've wanted to go to Huaxia for a long time, and I just took this opportunity to travel!" Peter Jackson said with a smile, and he was quite looking forward to it in his words .

"No no no!" Unexpectedly, our boss Huang shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, you don't need to go to Huaxia, I don't know. We already have a complete marketing plan in Huaxia, so I won't bother you to go It's a waste of time. If you want to travel to Huaxia, then after this job is completed, I will personally accompany you to tour the entire Huaxia, what do you think?"

"What kind of job is this?" Peter Jackson was stunned for a moment. A big boss like Huang He was willing to accompany him on a trip for this job. This is not an ordinary job.

"Actually, I think what you said just now is not wrong. It is too long to make money on this misty journey. There is no time to wait, so I also think there can be a way to make quick money to help us return as soon as possible. Book!"

"For example, what do you think of the movie "Gone with the Wind"?" Huang He said with a smile.

"Huang, are you going to make another movie about Gone with the Wind? Wouldn't it cost more money!" Peter Jackson asked in surprise.

"No, no, it doesn't cost money, but everything is on-site!" Boss Huang said with a chuckle, "Look, we have a full 24 episodes of plots, and these TV screens are all created according to the movie level. Then Shall we edit it a little bit? Then we can make a big movie directly?"

"You mean, edit the 24-episode TV series into a movie!" Peter Jackson finally understood what Boss Huang meant, scratched his head and said, "God, this is the most painful job in the world. The plot of these 24 episodes is a full 1440 minutes, you want me to condense it into a 120-minute movie, God knows how to edit such a movie! I might as well kill me!"

"Then make a few more!" Boss Huang said with a chuckle, "Since one can't fit, we can make two or three, even five or six. Anyway, you can edit as you like. , if you want to shoot some new pictures and plots as supplements, there is no problem at all, what do you think?"

"By the way, this movie is intended to be shown in the US and European markets, so there is no need to worry about conflicts with TV series that are mainly shown in the Chinese domestic market."

"In addition, in the European and American versions, we can reset Li Qiang's background to become a child born to a white American father and a Chinese mother, and then when he traveled to China, he met a fairy fate, so , Does it meet the needs of the American market?"

"A TV series has been edited into six movies? Do you want to change the character design to cater to the market?" Peter Jackson rolled his eyes, and all his good feelings for Boss Huang disappeared instantly. This thing is indeed a complete capitalist. No wonder he can get rich!
