Rebirth Begins with a Manga Adaptation

"What kind of work is this!"

"I can't understand it! But it feels so shocking."

"The old thief's imagination is too outrageous."

"Is this the Blue Star mentioned many times in his TV series? He actually not only set up the history and culture of Blue Star, but also created historical figures such as Alexander, Diarmuid, and King of Heroes, and also created a bunch of Blue Stars. The country, now even Blue Star’s outer space has been set up?”

"He really knows a lot! Let alone the sun and the moon, can a gaseous planet like Jupiter be easily set?"

"I was inexplicably moved after watching the two-minute trailer! Lovers and old thieves who are separated by endless time and space really dare to think about it."

"Many couples will separate immediately if they leave the same city, not to mention running eight light-years away."

"The most important thing is that mecha, it's so handsome, even more handsome than the first machine."

"Will it have the same worldview as Evangelion? There are also aliens. Evangelion episode?"

"Obviously not, they are both Blue Star. Evangelion and the Destiny series have the same historical and cultural background, but have different stories that have branches since modern times. Don't mention Blue Star and think it is one. worldview."

"Indeed, you can understand it as blue stars in different parallel time and space under the old thief's script. Although they are all blue stars, they have completely different developments."

"Damn, I wasn't interested in this kind of short stories at first, but the old thief got me excited all of a sudden, and I couldn't sleep at noon."

"Me too, the figure of the second phone I bought is still on the way, the old thief has already launched different models in the voice of the stars, crying..."

"I have a hunch that the old thief has been engaged in these robot war dramas for a short time, and it is very likely that he will develop more in this area in the future. From the current industry atmosphere, the robot works of the old thief are really making money. He is the pioneer. If there is no reason to leave this subject matter alone."

"Although I hope that things will develop in this direction, I didn't draw conclusions at that time. I haven't seen anyone who can guess the old thief."

After the Voice of the Stars trailer was released, it quickly gave Jingyu fans who had been dead for a long time a shot in the arm.

It is their consensus that the short story is not a threat to the Six Greats, but even so, the amount of discussion of this work is so exciting that it makes the Six Greats feel sour.

Now is the critical period for the six major TV stations to promote their main winter dramas. There is no time for Jing Yu to participate in the war. Everyone is also excited to win the first place in the quarter, but they spent 10 to 20 million publicity funds for a week or two. However, the popularity of the trailer of a 20-minute short drama was supercharged..

After being suppressed by Jing Yu for several years, who said that several major TV stations accepted this result, but even works like The Voice of the Stars can ride on their heads recklessly, which is psychologically difficult to accept.

In order to save face, or to be jealous, some crew members who had works broadcast in the winter season of their TV station were interviewed with sourness when they mentioned the voice of the stars, and bluntly said that the short dramas did not pose a threat to them.

Of course, Jing Yu also understands this very well. The Voice of the Stars did not intend to compete with the Sixth National Congress in the winter broadcast on the TV station, but simply used Yunteng TV Station to expand the influence of the work.

Time passed slowly, and another week passed.

Jing Yu retreated from his office.

The guesses of the people in the company were correct. Jing Yu stayed in his office for the past half month to prepare for the company's new work.

When creating Evangelion before, it was also an attempt by Jing Yu. He wanted to see what kind of effect Da Zhou could produce in these works with the current technical level of the film and television industry. In fact, he was quite satisfied.

At least within the allowable range of a reasonable cost, Jing Yu doesn't feel that Evangelion's special effects are bad at all from the perspective of his past life and this life.

This also gave him other thoughts.

Among the series of works that Jing Yu was familiar with in his previous life, this kind of mecha and robot works must have occupied a large number of his watching dramas.

Needless to say, Neon Genesis Evangelion, but in Jing Yu's previous life, apart from Eva, the three major milestones of the island nation's sci-fi animation were Space Battleship Yamato and Mobile Suit Gundam.

Of course, the three major sci-fi milestones are defined by the people of the island country themselves. In fact, the works that had a huge influence on Jingyu's previous life are Eva and Mobile Suit Gundam. As for the Yamato, let alone read it, few people have heard of this work.

Since Jing Yu has achieved success in Evangelion, he naturally has more ideas about works of the same theme, and he is mainly interested in three works.

In addition to Eva, most of Jingyu's former Huaguo are familiar with the island country's mechs, giant robots or giant creature fighting works, such as Mobile Suit Gundam, Ultraman, and Attack on Titan.

Needless to say the first two, the commercial value is definitely the existence of the ceiling in the two-dimensional works, and it is a work that coexists with commercial value, art, and word-of-mouth. In the previous life, the IP value of the two works were all over tens of billions of dollars. class ip works,

As for the giant, although the ending is very messy, there is no problem with calling 99% of the previous plot a masterpiece. To be honest, as long as it doesn't follow the original comic, it will follow the ending of the comic before it comes out. , the major media and professional analysts analyzed the plots to adapt, in fact, it’s not bad, that is, it’s anticlimactic, far better than an unfinished one. That is to say, he was criticized by fans for a few days, so Jing Yu is not worried that this work will be widely criticized like his previous life after he comes out. He is not stupid, he will not change the original plot of most works, but these are visual It depends.

Moreover, apart from the attacking giants of the three works, the length of the other two works is terribly long, and they were shot casually. If the whole series is to be shot, it will take at least ten years or more, and the cumulative investment may be one billion. above paper funds.

It just so happens that Jing Yu also finds it troublesome. A company with hundreds of people depends on him for food, and it is tiring to always think about how to support these people. If you just exchange these two long novels, at least in the next few years, the employees of the company will benefit from it. busy.

However, these three works almost wiped out most of Jing Yu's accumulated fan value, none of them were cheap, and it made him feel pained for a long time.

But such a development plan is definitely inevitable. Although the works of Initial D and Slam Dunk are sure to be well-received when they are shot, their earning power is far different from these.

If Jingyu Company wants to develop, it is always too slow to shoot those works that are only popular in the current season. Just like Jingyu’s previous Nintendo, everyone will think of Pikachu when this company is mentioned, and Pikachu has been born for decades, and it is still The profits brought to Nintendo every year are calculated in the billions, and Jing Yu is well aware of the benefits of ip incubation.

Whether it is the Destiny series or Evangelion, their most profitable time point may not be the first two years of the TV series. After a long time, the number of fans will increase, and then the signs will be seen.

The same is true of Jingyu's expectations for the two works of Gundam and Ultraman, hoping that the two works will become the symbol of his company's future in the industry.

When you mention Blue Star Film and Television Culture Company, you will think, "Oh, Ultraman and Gundam are created by this company!"

As for the attacking giant, to be honest, although it may be more famous among young people in Jingyu's previous life, in terms of the long-term benefits of the work, compared with the two works of Ultraman and Gundam, there is an order of magnitude gap between the giant and Ultraman. Even if it is not unfinished, it is not as good as Ultraman and Gundam.

Basically, everyone is willing to pay for the handsome Gundam and Ultraman. Who would pay for a group of exotic species, shameless giant giants with teeth bared, and naked monster giants with no penis? From the character design of the work Basically, you can see the commercial value point.

The reason why Jing Yu mentions Giant, Ultraman and Gundam together is purely because the plot of Giant seems to be the coolest, and he wanted to make this work, so he exchanged them together.

Therefore, when Jing Yu placed a whole stack of preliminary manuscripts and proposals in front of Cheng Lie, which he had created without sleeping and eating for half a month, his eyelids twitched.

It's too fast. This time, Jing Yu is more serious than ever!
