Rebirth Begins with a Manga Adaptation

Cheng Lie flipped through the materials Jing Yu had prepared, the pictures with exaggerated shapes, and the names of the three works.

Ultraman?

Attack on Titan?

Mobile Suit Gundam?

Of course, to be precise, Ultraman Jingyu chose Tiga, while Mobile Suit Gundam chose the seed version.

With Jing Yu's current status and fame, there are no conditions that allow Jing Yu to start filming from the basic version of the world view of the two works. The filmed version must be the version that was well received in the previous life. As for the plot of the previous version of Dijia and Seed However, after the two works come alive, it will not affect the prequel form of making other series to supplement the world view.

Of course, for Cheng Lie, the name of the work is not a problem, but Cheng Lie can tell the type of work at a glance.

Like Neon Genesis Evangelion, it is the kind of drama where giant robot monsters fight.

"Okay, Jingyu, you finally stopped making love themes like this, and you know why the audience is willing to buy it!"

Cheng Lie became excited. It can be said that Jing Yu has made these many works and is famous for a long time, but nearly half of the money earned by Blue Star Film and Television Culture Company is brought by two works, one is Evangelion and the other is Evangelion. It's a work in the Destiny series.

Compared with Jing Yu's previous love-themed works, the TV revenue of these two works has not increased significantly, but their peripheral revenue has increased by ten times.

Although the audience's evaluation may not be better than those of the previous works, everyone is willing to pay for the peripherals of this type of works.

After all, the company is a commercial company, not a charitable one. Hundreds of people are raising it, and Jing Yu obviously has a lot of ideas about the development and growth of Blue Star Culture Company, so the commercial nature of the work must always be considered.

"I've always known that which works are highly commercial and which works are only applauded. I know very well, but to fully develop the commercial nature of a work, the social environment and the strength of the company must match. I If these works were shown two years earlier, the company may not have the strength to do a good job of publicity." Jing Yu laughed.

Cheng Lie nodded when he heard that.

Jing Yu's point of view is also reasonable, excellent works must be matched with a game platform, find a group of game people to create, no matter how good Evangelion is, if it is broadcast on some small TV stations, the production company does not even have promotional fees, then It is also useless.

The company is basically recruiting people every month now, but it is not the kind of newcomers in the industry, but some industry leaders who come here admiringly, from the game industry, the movie industry, and the TV drama industry. It can be said that the staff Although the number of people is still below 400, the quality of employees is much higher than that of three years ago.

"Then Jing Yu, what are you planning to do now?" Cheng Lie asked.

"I didn't take part in any of these three works, and there is no suitable role for me. However, the company has a total of four contracted actors. Me, Yu Youqing, Tang Rui, and Xia Yining, I will arrange them according to the situation. Play some supporting roles." Jing Yu said.

"So in fact, all the main actors of the three works are newcomers, but all these newcomers have signed economic contracts with the company." Jing Yu said.

If it was him, Jing Yu would definitely not care if a company wanted to tie him up with a contract for three to five years, but choosing actors for his own works would definitely be different. To put it bluntly, even though Tang Rui is famous now , but without Jing Yu's Destiny series, she is just a little-known college girl, ten people can play Artoria, and ten people can be popular, but she happened to be chosen.

Under such circumstances, Jing Yu must set some harsh conditions for participating in the performance. Anyway, those who are willing will come, and those who are unwilling, Jing Yu will not deceive others. This is still different from those capitalists in the TV drama industry in Dazhou.

"What about the estimated investment?"

After asking about this topic, Jing Yu was silent for a while.

The company currently has nearly 3 billion cash available on the books, which Jing Yu has exchanged for more than a dozen works such as the Soul of Chess, Initial D, Rurouni Kenshin, the Destiny series, and the Eva series in the past six or seven years. It looks quite impressive, but in fact, because the creation time of the work is not too long, the commercial value has not been fully tapped.

Jing Yu is indeed not short of money now, but after all, this money is his family’s wealth, it’s better to be safe, otherwise these three works will burn money, it can be called a bottomless pit, as long as you want to smash special effects, like Avatar’s three hours long Works can be invested in billions.

In Jing Yu’s previous life, Ultraman used the special shooting method to shoot dramas. This way of filming saves money, but the effect is definitely worse. Jing Yu is definitely not too brainless about this work. There are special shooting parts, but what should be produced There will also be special effects.

But the giant and Gundam are different. It must be the special effects of the battle scene, and it is only the first season of the three works.

"The investment should not exceed one billion. Ultraman and giants should not exceed 300 million, and mobile suits should not exceed 400 million. Try to keep the cost within this range."

Cheng Lie's heart trembled.

This is really Jing Yu's style, investing more than one-third of the company's wealth accumulated over the years in one thought.

"Understood, I took the materials, and first registered patents and trademarks, and then studied how to set up the crew and how to cooperate with the special effects production company"

"Well, thank you for your hard work. You can only be responsible for these things. I also need to make up the settings for the three works, draw the model diagram, the character design diagram and the script of the lines." Jing Yu heaved a long sigh.

The works that make money are just too cumbersome to work at the stage of project approval. Even if he has a lot of skills now, the workload is huge. Although Jing Yu generally does not intervene in some of the company's foreign affairs, it does not mean that he is a Letting go of the chairman, he is the core of the company's core. In the process of creating a work from scratch, many times his assistant with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands can't help him at all, and Jing Yu can only explode himself.

The day after Cheng Lie left, a company meeting was held soon, and some news was revealed slightly.

The meeting was held in the morning, and in the afternoon, the news that Jing Yu was about to make a big move spread throughout the entire Blue Star Film and Television Culture Company, and in the evening, basically all the big Saturday TV stations and Yunteng knew about the news.

It is preliminarily estimated that there will be three masterpieces with a total investment of one billion

The information released by Cheng Lie can be summed up in two sentences, but it brings a huge sense of oppression to the practitioners in the industry.

In the entire Dazhou TV drama industry, Jing Yu is the only TV screenwriter who is confident that the cost of producing a single drama will exceed 200 million yuan. Other companies and TV stations may not be able to pay back their production costs for dramas that cost more than this.

Even if it can pay back, the rate of return may not be as high as the return of investing 200 million yuan in two single dramas.

In many cases, it is not that Liuda has no money, but that it must not only consider returning to the main line, but also consider the rate of return.

And Jing Yu not only dared to produce, but also produced three films in one go?

Nima is this human?
