Rebirth Begins with a Manga Adaptation

In the first ten days of February, several production crews of Blue Star Film and Television Culture Company were basically formed, and the main casts of several works were basically confirmed.

All that is left is for the company to allocate funds to the various projects.

In the past few years, Jing Yu's income from broadcasting so many works, peripheral income, overseas copyright income, and Destiny Zero's game income has accumulated almost 17.8 billion in cash. Evangelion projected earnings.

But at about the same time, Destiny Guardian Night Altria line, Sky Castle movie, Your Name movie, Girls Who Leapt Through Time and Space movie, Voice of the Stars, Garden of Words short films were launched at the same time, and the financial pressure was also huge.

First of all, the investment of Destiny Guardian Night is about the same as that of Destiny Zero, both in the early 200 million. After all, the salaries of the main characters, such as the actor Tang Rui of Artoria and the actor Jing Yu of Gilgamesh, will not be mentioned. Well, here Jing Yu is the boss himself, although the company and personal income are legally separated, but Jing Yu only pays symbolically.

As for Tang Rui, the film salary was just over three million. After all, Jing Yu's company has been contracted for so many years, and it is impossible for Jing Yu to be too dark and let him act for free. This salary is not high, but Jing Yu gave her a certain profit share of the TV series Destiny Guardian Night, and her income will not be low in the end.

Therefore, most of the 200 million-odd investment in the Destiny Guardian Night Artoria line was spent on special effects production.

In the same way, the 250 million investment of Jing Yu in Sky City is about the same. The two main characters of this work, Bass and Xida, are both thirteen or fourteen years old. Basically, Jing Yu invited a few actors of this type. Da Zhou was a famous child actor a few years ago, but now he is older and looking for a career change. Those few people came to audition.

To be honest, what Jing Yu still wanted was to squeeze the remuneration of the leading actors’ fathers and use the investment wisely, so Jing Yu estimated that he wanted to suppress the total remuneration of the protagonist Bass and the female protagonist Xida in Sky City. With less than 18 million, that is to say, the remuneration of the two leading actors is less than 10% of the total investment.

But now the film and television industry is also introverted, and Jingyu's reputation is indeed there

Since the opening of the Sky Castle audition at the end of February, several former popular child actors and actresses who were looking for transformation started crazy introversion. In order to win the role seats in Sky Castle, they all crazily lowered their quotations.

So in the end, Jing Yu didn't even have 10 million yuan, so he signed the actor contract of the hero and heroine of the city of sky.

But this time it’s not that cheap or bad. The two people who signed the contract, although they are both thirteen or fourteen years old, and they really can’t eat the food of child stars, but the popularity accumulated in the industry has not disappeared, at least The two are singled out at this stage, and there is no problem in their popularity comparable to those adult first-line stars.

Now that the other party is so involved, Jing Yu also readily accepts it, and just saves more than 10 million yuan in the salary of the leading role, and this money will be shared among the entire crew of Sky City as employee benefits.

As for your name, although it was well-known in the second-dimensional world in Jingyu's previous life, to be honest, even if it is adapted into a live-action movie, there is nothing special to spend money on.

One of the works in this work is that the production of special effects when the meteorite lands and hits the town costs some money, and the other is that when the meteorite falls, the scene of meteor tail flames and rainbow lights in the sky is a very important art special effects scene in the whole work.

But the combined duration of the two scenes is not long. Even if Jing Yu uses high-standard special effects to produce, it will not cost too much money. Other scenes are either schools or the countryside, or some mid-range restaurants and homestays. Even from the script stage, it is natural to save money for filming, so the investment in the whole work is only in the early 100 million. Otherwise, Jing Yu insisted on piling up the budget of this work meaninglessly, pursuing the high-end feeling of burning money for the background of the scene, and filming "Your Name" in the style of "Little Times", which would be a side effect instead.

As for the Garden of Words and Leaves, this is a short drama with a small cost, and the investment is only 10 to 20 million, which can't pose any pressure on Jing Yu now.

But at the end of the filming of The Voice of the Stars, which lasted less than half an hour, Jing Yu invested more than 50 million yuan to film it, which everyone in the company did not expect.

Boss Jing Yu is rich and can't find money?

With a duration of more than 20 minutes and an investment of 50 million yuan, the cost per minute of the work is higher than that of Sky Castle.

However, Jing Yu also has his own considerations. First of all, the company’s hit drama is Evangelion. Although this work’s high popularity in the previous life has little to do with it being a machine warfare work, the main reason is that the plot’s focus on some sensitive topics in the later stage Discuss what resonates with fans to become famous.

But since the theme of machine warfare has been brought to this world, Jing Yu still has the idea of ​​making this theme popular.

The Voice of the Stars is more sci-fi, but there are also a lot of gorgeous machine battle scenes in the scenes. It is impossible to save money if you want to do it well. Moreover, if the short stories of the voice of the Stars that make the melancholy battles satisfy the fans, plus the New Century Gospel With the influence of fighters, there is a high probability that the subject of machine warfare will become popular in the big week.

In the future, there will be more works that Jing Yu can produce with similar elements. The typical ones are the Gundam series, such as Gundam Seed. If there is a chance, Jing Yu will definitely have an idea to make it.

Then there is the attacking giant. Although the attacking giant is irrelevant to high-tech things such as mechs, it is actually the same setting in essence. The setting of the giant can be understood as a change. Skin, and can eat human Gundam.

The first machine, the mech, the Ultraman, the power of a giant and the incarnation of a giant, etc., are actually a concept.

It is a work of people with flesh and blood manipulating huge weapons to fight monsters or enemies.

And all the works are calculated. Destiny Guardian Ye Wuwang line is 230 million, Sky Castle is 250 million, Your Name is 120 million, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Space is 50 million, The Voice of the Stars is 50 million, and the Garden of Words is 20 million. After one or two months, the total investment for the six works will be more than 700 million

A small half of Jing Yu's company's capital has been invested in it, and it can be regarded as Jing Yu's biggest move in the years of working in the film and television drama industry.

In the company, Jingyu doesn't need to discuss with anyone how to spend money. Although Yu Youqing, Xia Yining, and Cheng Lie have shares, they also know that they are making money with Jingyu's thigh, so they don't have any opinions. The company's After the investment plan was formulated, it took only one morning in the company's meeting room, and the four major shareholders put on a vote and signed it to become effective.

"This action is really fast!" Cheng Lie was still a little dazed.

After all, it was the first time to make such a big move with Jing Yu.

Last year, he still felt that investing one or two billion yuan to make a film and television drama was a very powerful thing, but he did not expect that this year

This kind of investment work is already the norm in Jingyu's development plan.

and on the next day

Blue Star Film and Television Culture Company will provide specific information, including the investment of each work, the cast members, and the general type of works

Along with Jing Yu's script design during the script creation stage, they were posted on the company's official website and Jing Yu's social accounts.

And the relevant news ignited the Da Zhou film and television drama circle in less than half a day.
