Chapter 116 IP?I'll fry it too

Li Hong also has no way to set up more departments. After all, it is difficult to fill even these few departments in the current sweet potatoes.

Li Hong directly replaced the personnel department and other departments with the Ministry of Internal Affairs.This can be regarded as an expedient measure, after all, it is impossible to set up a vacant department, right?

Basically, the restructuring of sweet potatoes is all about these contents.The general direction has been given by Li Hong, and the rest is to be completed by people like Charlie.

After talking about the restructuring of sweet potatoes, the rest are just trivial matters.

After writing down Li Hong's opinion in notes, Charlie frowned and asked, "Boss, I don't have any objection to the restructuring of sweet potatoes. After all, it's a good thing. But should you give us your opinion on our next business focus?"

"Uh……"

Li Hong was shocked for a moment, he really forgot about this.After the restructuring of sweet potatoes is completed, a business plan must be formulated.

Otherwise, no matter how good the system is, it is just a castle in the air.

"What direction do you think will be developed next?" Li Hong, who was undecided, asked several people.

He knows almost nine out of ten things about the operation of the film and television company, and knows nothing about it.After all, Li Hong was just a street writer before, and the film and television company really didn't know much about it.

"I think our investment is too monotonous. We always rely on director Lu Mao's works, which will waste a lot of gaps. We should launch more works as soon as possible to fill these gaps." Charlie hit the nail on the head Point out the biggest problem of Digua Film and Television.

Li Hong nodded, this problem has always existed.Previously, due to lack of funds, we could only come one by one.Now that there is blood from the fist side, basically there is no shortage of funds, so more projects can be launched.

"But we don't have so many screenwriting resources. We don't have a script. What will we shoot? Will it lose money? I think we should think about it!" Lu Mao said cautiously.

As a director, he naturally hoped that more films would be shot under his own hands.But if the boss and the others wantonly shoot bad movies for the sake of momentum, that's not what he wants to see.

Charlie nodded and said seriously: "This problem is indeed serious. Let's not talk about how long it takes to set up a team of screenwriters. We don't have that demand at all. I think it is better to invest in those ready-made IPs."

"IP?"

As a street writer, Li Hong is very familiar with this vocabulary.After all, in the group of writers who have signed a contract, there are news from time to time that a certain big guy's work has been filmed.

IP is indeed a new outlet for film and television companies, and this is closely related to Li Hong's industry.In this regard, he can also be regarded as able to say a few words.

So, Li Hong asked curiously: "Then what kind of IP to shoot? How about online novels?"

"Internet novel?"

Charlie quickly thought of his boss's side job, and he said after a while: "Boss, online novels are indeed a good entry point. But now the online novels are under a lot of pressure for us. Those novels of fantasy and fairy tales, get If it’s not done well, it’s a bunch of bubbles. Not only do we have to spend a lot of money to buy film and television copyrights, but we also have to invest a lot of money in shooting. If any aspect of this is not done well, it will offend thousands of fans of the original work. Sorry I can say bluntly, this is completely thankless for Sweet Potato."

Li Hong nodded, and he also understood that this was all wishful thinking.Just as Charlie said, the adaptation of this online novel, the copyright fee of several million, plus the huge investment, it can be said that it is not a good idea for Sweet Potato.

However, this is just the fantasy fairy tale that Charlie said.When Li Hong thought of adapting online novels, he thought of a classification that is extremely easily overlooked.

city!

Urban novels have always been an evergreen tree in the world of online novels, and the readers and fan groups are not inferior to fans of fantasy and fairy tales.This is also a category worth exploring. The only difficulty may be that most adaptations of urban novels involve various illegal issues.

It is not a small challenge for them to be involved in pornography, gambling and drug infringement.

After all, if urban novels are easy to adapt, then it's not their turn to Digua Movies and TV.

After expressing his thoughts, Li Hong quietly waited for suggestions from several people.

"Boss, urban novels are indeed worth discovering, but how do we avoid those pitfalls?" After Hun Dan came to Blue Star, he became a senior fan of online novels, so he naturally knows these methods very well.

Li Hong explained with a smile: "In this regard, we can only say that we will do our best to eliminate it. If it can be deleted, it will be deleted. If it cannot be deleted, then it will be modified and released."

The corner of Charlie's mouth twitched, and he asked curiously: "The fans of the original book will make a fuss! We will offend a large number of fans of the original book if we change it so blindly."

"Of course I know. The problem is, these fans of the original work may not necessarily read our work. Besides, if you don't change it like this, how can you pass the review?"

"That's right, those guys are making a lot of noise, and not many people actually go to see it." Lu Mao nodded and said.

When adapting a mature IP work, one question has to be mentioned, which is the feelings of fans of the original work.

But in fact, there are really not many fans of the original book who actually go to see the adaptation.The reason why investors invest in this IP is the mature potential of this work.After all, it has proved that this is a work that can attract fans, so it is not a big deal to attract fans of TV dramas.

Therefore, most film and television works adapted from IP hope to replicate the success of literature in the field of film and television.Rather than counting on turning those fans of the original works into film and television fans.

The role of those fans of the original works is probably to stir up the popularity of film and television works for investors.First use these original fans to hype up the works that have not yet been released on major platforms, and attract more non-original fans' attention.

When it was released, fans of the original work left disappointed.And the vast majority of passerby viewers who have never seen the original work are the real target.

Don't talk about the number of fans of a certain work, once it is released, how many people will watch it.Investing film and television companies don't care about these things, they only care about profits.

Before you see the benefits, how many fans you have is a joke.They will only adapt this mature IP according to their own wishes.

Therefore, many popular IP works mostly disappoint fans of the original works.As for the IP works that really make fans of the original works happy, the profits are minimal, and they even go to grandma's house.

"Then change it, I don't believe it anymore, what others can do well, we can't do well!" Li Hong said fiercely.

"Charlie, go to the headquarters of Yuewen in Shanghai tomorrow and make an agreement with them. We must launch ten IP-oriented works this month."
