Rebirth Begins with a Manga Adaptation

"I feel that the name of this work is very domineering!"

"Attack on giants? Fantasy fairy tales? There are legends of giants in the ancient myths of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Is the old thief finally planning to attack the myths this time?"

"What is it, so outrageous?"

"Although many people complain that the new work of the old thief is slow, but I really have nothing to say this time."

"It's just a meme that his new works are slow to come out. The point is to express the emotion that he can't get enough of his works. To be honest, in his short seven-year career as a screenwriter, the works he created are better than 99% of the screenwriters in Da Zhou. The number of works created in a lifetime must be even more.”

"But this time three works in a row really surprised me. The genes are all excited."

"That Ultraman, it's just a name, I can't understand it at all, but the name of Mobile Suit Gundam, everyone knows the name, right?"

"Is there something wrong with the name?"

"How else would you remind me of this name? It's obviously a work of the same type as Evangelion!"

"Think about it, from Evangelion to Voice of the Stars, the old thief obviously has a strong interest in this kind of machine warfare works, and now he is launching a work like Mobile Suit Gundam, not to mention, it is simply premeditated."

"Actually, I feel that this theme is really very marketable. The merchandise sells well, and the ratings are high. Why is there no one shooting this type of work in Dazhou? Robots, old thieves can't register the copyright, right?"

"It's not that no one shoots, it's that they dare not shoot. Anyway, there is a Neon Genesis Evangelion on the ceiling of this kind of work now. Any flaws will be sprayed by the audience, and the quality of the series must be high. I have to invest heavily in these TV stations for fear of losing money."

"Don't look at him, old thief, but he is silent, but he is really willing to make a film. Who in the big TV industry doesn't know that his investment in filming is outrageous, and he doesn't consider the rate of return at all. He can spend 50 million to film The Girl Who Leaps Through Time and Space at the final box office 700 million, you can also spend 50 million to shoot The Voice of the Stars, anyway, the income is enough to protect your capital, normal people will definitely use the money from the shooting of the Voice of the Stars to film the second part of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Space, but he has no such idea.”

"Maybe this is the mentality of the masters. They don't pursue profit, but the commercial value of the work is the highest in the week. Those TV stations only know the rate of return when filming, but they are compared by the old thief's works."

"Come on, don't blow it up. If you blow it down, the old thief will blush after reading it in the comment area."

The sudden appearance of information about the three new works of Blue Star Film and Television Company really shocked the industry.

In the following week, Jing Yu released more news.

The first is the investment quota of the three works.

Attack on Titan, 290 million, Tiga, 190 million.

And Mobile Suit Gundam Seed

Four hundred and seventy million.

After the news was released, the entire Dazhou industry was in an uproar.

Jingyu's fan base is even more fried.

Of course, Attack on Titan is 290 million in the first season, Tiga is the whole story, as for Mobile Suit Gundam, it is the whole story

To be honest, although two of the three works, Tiga and Mobile Suit Gundam, had high commercial value in Jingyu's previous life.

But in terms of production cost, Ultraman is obviously the lowest. After all, the scenes are mostly close-to-hand combat, and the fighting scenes are real people wearing model leather goods. If all special effects are used to make CG scenes, it may not have the special features of the original work in the previous life. The effect of shooting is better, and Jing Yu combines the two, but the cost is the lowest.

Many scenes of Mobile Suit Gundam are cosmic mecha battles with full special effects. The cost of a single episode is much higher than that of Ultraman, but it will not be too exaggerated.

On the contrary, it’s giants. The scenes are all forests, trees, and wilderness. The action scene is a large group of people flying around in the sky. The cost of acting for a single group is unknown. When filming, there are a lot of equipment for hanging wires. , A bunch of people have to fly in the air to cooperate with each other.

Moreover, the movements of ordinary group performances are definitely not good enough. Even if it is an ordinary member of the investigative corps in this work, the flying movements can be called handsome. If Jing Yu wants to save money, he can find some ordinary people to come. Do the action, but after thinking about it, he also thinks that there is no need to save those. At this time, the extra tens of millions will be spent, and the later income may be doubled. Jing Yu is still very clear about the reason for saving money and making works with the quality of previous giant movies.

Anyway, for Jing Yu, he felt that the investment was acceptable, and for the special effects company that cooperated with Jing Yu, he also felt that the production price quoted according to Jing Yu's request was also very reasonable.

But for Da Zhou's TV drama viewers and Jing Yu's fans

The production fee surprised them

That is, Jing Yu, if you change to another screenwriter, do you want to get back the cost of this kind of investment? If you want to eat farts, even if the audience rating is over 7.5%, it is hard to say that the investment of more than 300 million yuan can be earned back within a year after the broadcast. If the merchandise sells well, it may take two or three years to make a profit. Capital is impossible. With such a large investment, it takes two years for a project to pay back.

So when Jing Yu's colleagues saw the news, they were all numb.

Don't be afraid of the opponent being abnormal, but be afraid that the opponent is not only abnormal, but also more expensive than you.

In the past, Jing Yu, although his works were highly praised, but the competition with the Big Six was basically because the broadcasting platform was suppressed, and the production budget was not as good.

But now, Yunteng may not be as strong as the top three TV stations, but the combination of Yunteng and Jingyu is completely worthy of any schedule of any TV station.

As for the production cost, Jing Yu is even more generous here.

What is this doing?

The industry already doesn't know how to complain about this.

"This Jingyu has only stopped for a quarter and can't wait for a big move to be born."

"I don't obey the wall all my life, so I just obey him. It's been seven years. When will his creative inspiration run out? His most terrifying feeling is his endurance."

"Let me be honest, how confident do you have to be to make this kind of investment? 400 million, investing in a TV series?"

"Although it is said that this Mobile Suit Gundam is a long-running TV series with a season of more than half a year, with an investment of more than 400 million yuan, the average cost budget for one episode is 20 million yuan."

"A normal movie in Dazhou only has an investment of 40 to 50 million, and it lasts for two hours. An episode of Mobile Suit is less than an hour, and an investment of 20 million. This is a proper TV series shooting according to movie standards!"

"And what's the most outrageous thing? Someone I know at Yunteng has said that this year's popular A-list actor Tao Changqi wanted to play the leading role of Jing Yu's Gundam, but he was directly rejected. The reason is his one thousand dollars. Three million yuan is too expensive, and the crew can't afford it."

"With an investment of more than 400 million yuan and a length of more than 20 episodes, the male lead's salary of more than 10 million yuan is too expensive?"

"Anyway, the male lead's remuneration for this drama is suppressed below 10 million, and the remuneration of all the actors is not allowed to exceed this limit. The total remuneration of the main characters cannot exceed 70 million, and the other investment of almost 400 million. He is going to use it all. Even in order to save money in the production of the series, Blue Star Film and Television Culture Company is already considering using newcomers. They are confident that this work does not need to rely on the flow of movie stars to bless the work. The name of the screenwriter Jing Yu is this The biggest point of traffic blessing for this work."

"This is really. Confident"
