Siheyuan: I am the God of Cooking, and all the birds are crying with envy!

The success of the sequel to "Folk Princess" made He Yuzhu and his team the focus of attention in the industry, and the entire company was immersed in joy.

However, He Yuzhu was not carried away by victory. He knew very well that in the fiercely competitive film and television industry, if he wanted to achieve sustainable development, he had to keep making progress.

One day, He Yuzhu called the core team members to the conference room again to discuss the company's next development plan.

"As everyone has seen, the sequel to Folk Princess has achieved great success, but this is only a phased achievement for us."

He Yuzhu looked at everyone with a firm gaze, "We cannot be satisfied with this. We must think about how to take the company to the next level."

Screenwriter Xiao Zhang spoke first: "Mr. He, I think we can take advantage of this popularity to develop derivative works of "Folk Princess", such as online short dramas, animations or comics, to further expand the influence of this IP."

Director Lao Wang also nodded in agreement: "I agree with Xiao Zhang's idea, and we can try different art forms to bring a new experience to the audience.

In addition, I have recently been studying some excellent international film and television works, and found that there are many things we can learn from them in terms of narrative structure and shooting techniques.

We can form an international exchange team, cooperate with foreign film and television companies, and introduce some advanced concepts and technologies.”

He Yuzhu listened carefully and wrote down in his notebook from time to time: "Everyone's ideas are good. However, while we are expanding our business, we cannot ignore the quality of the work.

Xiao Li, you are responsible for market research to see how high the audience's expectations are for the derivative works of "Folk Princesses" and their acceptance of different art forms. "

Xiao Li quickly responded: "Okay, Mr. He. I will collect relevant data as soon as possible to provide strong support for our decision-making."

At this time, Sister Zhao, who is in charge of finance, raised another question: "Mr. He, developing derivative works and conducting international cooperation requires a lot of capital investment, and our current capital reserves may be a bit tight."

He Yuzhu pondered for a moment and said, “Well, let’s first evaluate the funding needs and expected returns of each business and develop a detailed budget plan.

I will talk to the bank again to see if I can apply for some low-interest loans.

In addition, we can also consider introducing some strategic investors through equity financing.”

After the meeting, He Yuzhu immediately took action.

He first contacted the head of the bank, gave a detailed introduction to the company's development and future plans, and won the bank's initial support.

Then, he began to screen potential strategic investors and prepare for a new round of financing negotiations.

While screening investors, He Yuzhu discovered an investment company called Xingyao Capital.

The company has extensive investment experience in the film and television industry and has successfully invested in several popular film and television works.

He Yuzhu felt that this was a good partner, so he decided to take the initiative to contact Mr. Lin, the head of Xingyao Capital.

He Yuzhu asked Mr. Lin to meet at a high-end restaurant.

After meeting, He Yuzhu exchanged a few pleasantries and then went straight to the point: "Mr. Lin, I have long heard of your name.

This time I am looking for you to discuss with you the equity financing of our company.

As you know, our company has achieved good results in the film and television market with the Folk Princess series. We are currently planning to develop a series of derivative works and carry out international cooperation. We hope to get your support. "

Mr. Lin smiled and nodded: “Mr. He, I know something about your company’s situation.

"Folk Princess" is indeed a very successful work, but investment is risky after all. I would like to know what specific plans and expectations you have for future development?"

He Yuzhu was well prepared. He took out a carefully prepared business plan and handed it to Mr. Lin: "Mr. Lin, please take a look. This is our company's development plan for the next three years. We plan to launch the online short drama and animation of "Folk Princess" within the next year, complete the production of a movie version within two years, and actively carry out international cooperation to promote our works to overseas markets.

According to our market research and data analysis, the expected returns of these projects are very substantial.”

Mr. Lin took the plan, read it carefully, and asked some questions from time to time.

He Yuzhu patiently answered all the questions and elaborated in detail on the company's advantages and the feasibility of the project.

After an in-depth conversation, Mr. Lin showed great interest in He Yuzhu’s company and project: “Mr. He, I think your project has great potential, but I still need to discuss it with other partners in the company.

How about this, give me a week, and we'll make an appointment to discuss it in detail after a week."

He Yuzhu was delighted and said quickly, "Okay, Mr. Lin. I look forward to your reply. I believe our cooperation will be a complete success."

A week later, He Yuzhu met with General Lin again.

This time, Mr. Lin brought several core partners of Star Capital.

After several rounds of intense negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement on matters related to equity financing.

Xingyao Capital will invest a huge amount of money in He Yuzhu's company in exchange for a certain proportion of equity.

After the funding problem was solved, He Yuzhu immediately began to develop derivative works of "Folk Princess".

He organized a team of screenwriters to start writing scripts for online short dramas and animations, and at the same time negotiated with some well-known animation production companies to find suitable partners.

In the process of writing the script for the online short drama, the writing team encountered some difficulties.

Since online short dramas are short in length, they need to present exciting plots and vivid characters within a limited time, which places high demands on the creative ability of screenwriters.

"Mr. He, we encountered some difficulties when creating the script for the online short drama."

Screenwriter Xiao Zhang frowned and said, "We want to add some new elements while retaining the original style of Folk Princess, but we are worried that it will destroy the original story structure."

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "I think you can start with some popular online elements, such as comedy, suspense, and romance, and cleverly integrate these elements into the plot.

At the same time, it is necessary to highlight the character's personality traits so that the audience can remember the character in a short period of time.

In addition, we can refer to more successful online short drama cases and learn from their creative experience.”

The screenwriter team readjusted their creative ideas according to He Yuzhu's suggestions.

After several days of hard work, I finally completed the first draft of the script for the online short drama.

He Yuzhu organized team members to discuss and revise the script repeatedly to ensure its quality.

At the same time, cooperation negotiations on animation production have also made progress.

He Yuzhu has reached a cooperation agreement with a well-known domestic animation production company, which will be responsible for the production of the "Folk Princess" animation.

"Mr. He, our company has extensive experience in animation production and has produced several popular animation works."

Mr. Li, the person in charge of the animation production company, said confidently, "We will definitely create a high-quality "Folk Princess" animation according to your requirements."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Boss Li, I'll leave it to you.

We hope that this animation will reach first-class levels in terms of picture quality, plot content and character creation, and bring a brand new visual enjoyment to the audience.”

With the joint efforts of both parties, the production of the "Folk Princess" animation was officially launched.

The animation production team carefully designed the character images and scene images, striving to perfectly present the world of "Folk Princess" to the audience.

However, just when everything was going smoothly, an unexpected situation occurred.

A foreign film and television company suddenly announced that they were producing a film and television work with a similar theme to "Folk Princess" and planned to release it simultaneously around the world.

"Mr. He, what should we do? Their works are similar in subject matter to our derivative works of "Folk Princess". Will they have an impact on our market?" Xiao Wang, who is in charge of marketing, said anxiously.

He Yuzhu frowned and said, "Don't panic, we need to analyze calmly. Although their works have similar themes, they are very different from our "Folk Princess" in terms of story content, character settings and cultural background.

We need to highlight the characteristics and advantages of our works, increase marketing efforts, and let the audience know about our works. "

Therefore, He Yuzhu organized a marketing team to develop a series of publicity plans.

They carried out all-round publicity and promotion of the derivative works of "Folk Princess" through various channels such as social media, offline activities, press conferences, etc.

At the same time, He Yuzhu also personally communicated with some media reporters to introduce the creative background and characteristics of "Folk Princess" and to gain media support and coverage.

After intense preparation and publicity, the online short drama "Folk Princess" was the first to go online.

As soon as the online short drama was broadcast, it was warmly welcomed by the audience.

The wonderful plot, funny stories and vivid characters in the drama attracted the attention of a large number of viewers, and the number of views quickly exceeded 10 million.

"Mr. He, that's great! The number of views of the online short drama has been soaring, and the audience feedback is also very good."

Xiao Wang excitedly ran into He Yuzhu's office, "Many viewers said that this online short drama not only retains the original flavor of "Folk Princess", but also has many new highlights, which makes people's eyes light up."

He Yuzhu smiled with satisfaction: "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts.

However, we cannot take it lightly and must continue to pay attention to audience feedback and adjust our promotional strategies in a timely manner."

Soon after, the "Folk Princess" animation was also launched on major video platforms.

The animation's exquisite graphics, exciting plot and beautiful music won unanimous praise from the audience and quickly became a hot topic.

"Mr. He, the animation has received great praise. Many viewers have shared their viewing experiences on social media, and quite a few fans have created fan works of the animation." Xiao Chen, who is responsible for social media operations, said excitedly.

He Yuzhu looked at the positive reviews on social media and felt a sense of accomplishment: "This shows that our efforts have not been in vain.

We must seize this opportunity to further expand the influence of Folk Princesses and lay a solid foundation for the production of the film version and international cooperation."

With the success of the spin-off work of "Folk Princess", He Yuzhu began to prepare for the production of the film version.

He invited well-known domestic film directors and screenwriters to discuss the film's creative plan.

"Mr. He, I think the film version of "Folk Princess" should be more grand in plot, with stunning visual effects and profound emotional connotations."

Film director Liu Dao said, "We can set the story in a broader historical period and show more historical and cultural elements."

Screenwriter Lao Zhang also added: "I agree with Director Liu's opinion, and the character creation of the movie version should be more full-bodied, so that the audience can deeply understand the inner world of the character.

At the same time, we need to add some twists and suspense to the plot to increase the viewing experience of the movie.”

He Yuzhu listened carefully to everyone's suggestions and put forward his own ideas from time to time: "Everyone's ideas are good. However, while pursuing the plot and visual effects, we must also consider the commerciality of the film.
