Diamond company shoots commercials, you shoot Titanic

The more you know, the more you will learn.

As soon as the words fell in his mind, a lot of knowledge entered his mind.

From thousands of years ago to the present, the culture, thoughts, and political knowledge of countries around the world entered his mind.

News about the film industry, public papers, etc. also entered his mind. Even reports and comments from other countries were translated into Chinese and poured into his mind.

Five minutes later, Chen Xiao sat up and rubbed his forehead.

This knowledge is not particularly in-depth, but it covers a wide range. For directors who need to cover a wide range, it is indeed good stuff.

The system really gave it a good one this time.

However, just as Chen Xiao was about to open his mouth to praise it in his heart, he heard a voice.

[Start the task: shoot a thought-provoking art film. ]

[Reward: One golden lottery opportunity! 】

The smile on Chen Xiao's face froze instantly.

The company has just started, and the task is to make an art film?

This dog system is not worth praising.

Art films focus on expressing artistic appeals, attaching importance to aesthetic significance, innovation in content and form, and artistic expression.

There is a large space for interpretation and it can withstand the test of time.

But most of them don't make much money.

In fact, not only art films, but many movies that need to be savored don't make much money. For example, "The Shawshank Redemption" ranked first in many charts in his original world. When it was first released, it lost a lot of money at the box office.

What makes money is commercial films. Commercial films cater to the mainstream ideology of the audience and the environment, with the main purpose of making money.

The company has just been established and wants to make money.

Or change a task refresh ticket and change a task.

But what if after the refresh, he is asked to shoot a love variety show, wouldn't that be even more deadly? Once again, it's better to shoot a stage play than this.

Chen Xiao thought for a moment, took out a piece of paper, and planned to list the reasons for brushing or not, and weigh them.

No, the reason for keeping the task is that literary and artistic works are more interesting and can help him leave his name in film history.

The reason for refreshing is that the company has just started, and he wants to make money while doing the task...

Hey, wait a minute.

Chen Xiao threw away the pen and snorted.

Stupid.

He is used to making movies by himself, and forgot that there is a company!

He went to make literary and artistic films to gain fame.

Write scripts and let the company make commercial films to make money.

Only children make choices, adults want everything!

Brush your ass, don't brush it, just make literary and artistic films.

Chen Xiao directly opened the system and clicked on the classification of literary and artistic films.

The system has labeled many film and television works as "literary and artistic films", but many works are not simply literary and artistic films, but have the attributes of literary and artistic films.

Chen Xiao propped up his chin and flipped through the system for a while.

This time he found two principles for movies.

One is localization and simplicity. Because I want to take a break and find a movie that needs less modification.

Second, it has universal values.

This is also the idea of ​​most of his next movies.

This is to make money and expand the audience. It is also to make some contributions to the country.

Directly spreading Chinese culture has too few audiences. Like "Farewell My Concubine" does have an effect overseas, but the effect is really limited. It can only attract people who are already interested in China, opera, and art.

Because of this, in his original world, apart from kung fu movies, few Chinese-language movies have made waves in the global market.

And some foreign movies, with the skin of universal values ​​such as freedom, fairness and justice, add their own culture at the bottom and successfully spread around the world.

So he did it.

With the skin of universal values, add Chinese culture at the bottom. This makes it easier for the global market to accept and feel close to China.

With the two views of easy localization and universal values, Chen Xiao quickly searched for movies.

Ten minutes later, Chen Xiao's eyes lit up.

"The Truman Show"!

The world view in this movie is fictional, so it is easier to change it.

The movie tells the story of Truman being adopted by a film and television company and becoming the protagonist of a reality show, attracting the attention of audiences around the world. Since he was born, he has lived in a studio called Utopia Island, surrounded by actors, and he lives a life of surveillance without knowing it. An accident made Truman begin to doubt his own world. He found that the behavior and identity of the people around him were abnormal and felt terrified. He decided to escape from this small town. After many obstacles, he successfully left this world.

Of course, there are a lot of things that can be interpreted in it, this is just a simple summary.

Although the world is fictional, there are still many places that need to be localized, such as Truman's name.

But compared with "Forrest Gump" and "The Shawshank Redemption", it is much easier to adapt.

Okay, let's do it, and we'll talk about the adaptation later.

Chen Xiao yawned and wrote down the title on a piece of paper.

The art film has been decided.

Then we need to determine the cash cow that the company will be assigned to shoot.

The company is just starting to run, so each department should arrange a task first.

The TV series department will shoot "Home with Kids", and the film department will fully support him in shooting.

Then there are the variety show department, animation and animation department, and network business department (network short dramas, etc.).

Let's wait for variety shows, it's a bit laborious to do.

Let the animation and animation department make money.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao opened the mall again and flipped through animation and animation.

Forget about masterpieces with hundreds of episodes. After all, this department has just been established, so let's practice first.

Find a short and profitable one, and it's best to make money abroad and seize the market.

Fifteen minutes of flipping.

Chen Xiao's eyes stopped at an animated film - "Mi Xue Bing Cheng"

No, I made a slip of the tongue.

It's "Frozen".

Its first and second parts were among the top three animated film box office in the world in the past, and the first and third were both it. And both ranked in the top 20 of the global total box office.

It can be made into a big IP in the future, a sure money-making artifact.

It is estimated that there will be many college students, even male college students, dressed as princesses and singing "Let it go".

This is it.

Let's shoot the first part first. He provides the script, character design, and music. However, the character image needs to be slightly changed. The original style is too European and American.

It's settled. The company's piggy bank depends on you!

Chen Xiao directly exchanged two scripts, stood up and stretched.

Then he took out his mobile phone, opened the calendar recording software, and sorted out the current work.

Currently, it has been completed, and the ones that are being broadcast or about to be broadcast are "The Godly Chef Xiao Fugui" and "Kung Fu".

The former has already started airing, and it is estimated that the premiere will end in late February.

As for the latter, it will be released globally on February 15, the first day of the Chinese New Year, and will premiere for a month.

He doesn't need to worry about these two things.

Next, this year's sitcom "Home with Kids", the movie "The Truman Show", and the animation "Frozen" are to be made.

The script of "Home with Kids" has been sorted out. Find a reliable team to shoot it, and just keep an eye on it occasionally, the workload can be almost ignored.

Others...

Chen Xiao picked up the desk calendar on the bedside table.

Today is January 28th.

There are still 18 days before the Chinese New Year.

I want to go skiing in Heilongjiang Ice City before the New Year, but there are too many people during the New Year.

Then use three to five days to write the script of "Frozen" and hand it over to the animation department for preparation.

Then go traveling, sort out and adapt "The Truman Show" when you have nothing to do, and start work after the New Year or in March.

That's it.

Chen Xiao roughly entered his schedule into his mobile phone, then opened the chat software to see who to invite to travel to Ice City.
