The trainee starts by splitting bricks with bare hands

After seeing off Qi Shan, Kong Xiujie, and Fan Long, Han Lan continued to review the "homework" submitted by Tomahawk Pictures and Tomahawk Animation.

After the last meeting, Tomahawk Pictures held three more meetings in a row, and finally decided on the movie.

In addition to the established two films that Ip Man has forgotten, this year there will be a project Jade Immortal 2.In other words, Han Lan needs to make time to participate in the show.

In addition to these three films, the construction of "Liao Zhai Universe" handed over by Han Lan also handed in the third edition.

In Han Lan’s impression, Liaozhai’s previous life was basically a supernatural story, but in fact, if it is to be developed into a “Liaozhai universe”, it must not be filmed as a horror movie, but try to move closer to the direction of fantasy and ghosts.

On the one hand, the audience of horror films is smaller than that of fantasy films, the market is relatively small, and the subsequent development of peripheral products is not very easy to sell. In fact, although some parts of the previous filming of A Chinese Ghost Story have a taste of horror films, they are generally biased towards horror films. Martial arts, fantasy.

On the other hand, horror films and supernatural stories are not easy to pass the review in China, and they are easy to be stuck and unable to be released after filming.If it’s just a single film, at most it’s just a waste of investment in the film, but like this kind of movie that relies on several movies to build an entire universe, as long as one movie gets stuck, it will affect the construction of the entire universe.

It hurts very much.

Therefore, when drawing materials from the original Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio, Tomahawk Films always try to avoid ghosts and choose monsters, or adapt it like Nie Xiaoqian, so that female ghosts are bound in animals and plants to become banshees.He even summed up a law of the Liaozhai Universe: "After death, a person's soul becomes a demon when attached to an animal, becomes a spirit when attached to a plant, becomes a monster when attached to a utensil, and becomes a monster when attached to a person. A demon is a ghost if it exists in the form of a spirit without attachment."

In addition, many human masters like Yan Chixia were added for balance.

Moreover, according to the various geographical coordinates and timelines of the original work, an ancient world was reconstructed using the Ming Dynasty as a template, and the plot was also connected through some secondary creations.

In this way, it no longer just tells a story, but presents a bizarre and different world to the audience.

And since they are in the same world, the protagonists in several different movies may meet in the future and collide with new stories.

The things that can be excavated in this are not comparable to a Chinese Ghost Story series, which is enough for Tomahawk Pictures to develop for decades.

The same is true for Tomahawk Anime.

Through the research and development of the ancient book Fengshen Yanyi, a universe of gods and demons has been constructed, and there are more things that can be excavated here.

The stories of Nezha, Jiang Ziya, Su Daji, Yang Jian, and Lei Zhenzi alone are enough for them to make several animated films.

Then there are also various peripheral product development and authorization, as long as it is operated well, it will be an inexhaustible wealth code!

Of course, for Han Lan, the construction of these two complete universes is not just to sell some peripheral records, but a complete and mature view of the universe can be more convenient to develop other things.

For example, games.

"Mr. Han, games are completely different from our traditional entertainment industry. We don't have any experience in this area. It may be very difficult to enter."

"Now that the domestic game industry structure has basically been finalized, it may be difficult for us to develop it ourselves. If we must make a game, I think it is better to authorize it to a major domestic game company, or develop it jointly with them."

"Yeah yeah."

In the conference room of the Tomahawk Group, most of the executives obviously did not agree with Han Lan's idea of ​​entering the game industry.

Making games is different from making animations. Although both are new fields, animation is still considered a field of film and television. Having Tomahawk Pictures is equivalent to having an admission ticket.For example, A Chinese Ghost Story, which was previously produced by Tomahawk Pictures, is actually an animation in terms of genre.

As for the game, the Tomahawk Group is almost blank in this area.

The game is not to say that it cannot be played, but there is no need to enter the game yourself.

It is obviously very unwise to form a game company to compete with domestic game manufacturers for the sake of making a game. It is easy to get stuck in the quagmire, and in the end, you must either break your legs and abandon the newly established game company to withdraw from the game field in embarrassment. Or you can only keep throwing money in and spending it with them.

Just like when Shuangmu Group entered the entertainment industry back then, it took tens of billions of resources to get to today's Shuangmu Entertainment.

The Tomahawk Group is not yet a capital predator like the Shuangmu Group, so it really can't afford it!

Chapter 0766 Tomahawk Game

Han Lan tapped on the table lightly, ending everyone's speech.

"Guys, it's not like you don't know the level of the so-called big game companies in China. If you really hand over our IP to them, you can play the game you make in the end?"

In the conference room, there was a collective silence.

With the previous change of power, most of the top executives of the Tomahawk Group are relatively young, and the oldest will not exceed 40 years old.The game will still be played.

Even if he doesn't play games, he has seen young people playing under his command and some children at home playing.

No matter how you put it, it cannot be said that domestic games are bad and cannot be played.

You can still play for sure.

But at this time, no one dared to stand up and say such words.

Whether it is albums, movies, or animations currently produced by Tomahawk Group, the quality is very high, with a score of 85 out of [-] or [-].Even some of the peripheral product manufacturers authorized by them are domestic first-class manufacturers, such as Yehu International, and the product quality is reliable.

For many fans at home and abroad, the four words "produced by Tomahawk" mean high-quality goods, which means that they can be purchased without thinking!

And now authorize the game manufacturer to develop a game with [-] or even less than [-]?

Isn't this smashing your own signboard?

Han Lan continued: "This year, Tomahawk Animation can start profit-feeding the group, and with the blood supply of Tomahawk Pictures and Tomahawk Entertainment, it is no problem to support Tomahawk games."

"I didn't say that I have to confront them head-on. It's not that fast to make games. You can buy two teams first and work slowly. As long as the game hasn't been released, it won't affect them or attract players. They pay too much attention. When the game is launched in the future, when we really need to go to war, our group will definitely be much stronger than it is now, and we can afford to play with them!"

"Besides, as long as our games are of high quality, we will definitely not be afraid of insufficient publicity with the group's brand name."

"As for the version number of the game, do you think they can catch us?" Han Lan smiled confidently.

As long as it involves managers, the Tomahawk Group is true.

Based on the goodwill of the Tomahawk Group over the years, as long as the game is not particularly messy, it is impossible to get stuck with their version number and not approve it.

And as long as the manager gives the green light, how many big game manufacturers are nothing?

The executives in the conference room looked at each other.

To be honest, it really doesn’t cost a lot of money to form a game company, and to develop a game, an investment of [-] million will be enough. It’s not as expensive as Tomahawk Pictures for making a blockbuster movie.

But the accounts are not calculated in this way. Once Tomahawk Games is established, it will continue to swallow money, and it will not bring any benefits to the group in a short period of time, and even the future is quite slim.

After all, they have never made games, so they really have no confidence to ensure that their games can make money.If Tomahawk doesn't make money, then those investments are for naught.

Tomahawk Group is still a private enterprise after all, and it wants to make a profit!

"Mr. Han, we need to further investigate the domestic game market. We don't even know how many domestic game players are willing to pay for a game."

"Yes, the domestic game market is indeed huge now, but we have heard a little bit about how money is earned. If you really want to develop a high-quality game as you said, you can't engage in those routines. It's really selling. We really don’t know how to sell games in China.”

"Routines? Why can't you engage in those routines? I don't think there is any conflict between high-quality games and krypton gold routines? As long as the bottom line is well controlled." Han Lan laughed.

"" Everyone.

"A 3A masterpiece with a buyout system must be made, but there must also be free games for ordinary people. Are you still worried that you won't be able to sell free things?"
