Chapter 1001: Exploration Theme
Several people, all looking forward to what Chen Hao said next, staring at him, releasing a very strong desire to attack in their eyes.
Chen Hao wrinkled his nose: "Hey, hey, hey, can we not do this? It's just a draft at present, and the subject matter is not new. I need to use a complete and good idea as an entry point to open up a new perspective for the entire not-so-new subject matter. At present, the idea is there, but it is not complete enough. I need to form a group to start the creation of the entire script. This time, I want the owner of the idea to participate, and there are three age groups of screenwriters, plus a special effects team and an engineering team to cooperate with me on the spot. In addition, two financial personnel are needed to make an integrated budget in advance..."
Chen Hao did not rush to open the second lottery opportunity. He wanted to play it himself. The long history of Eastern culture has left many strange stories. The reason why they cannot be accepted by the outside world is one of regional culture and the other is the problem of entry point. There is a lack of points that can attract the interest of foreign audiences. You have to raise people's interest in watching before you can let them accept your work.
The 200 million US dollars did not form a huge obstacle in Tian Ge's mind, let alone the following requirements. The question now is not whether the 200 million has been invested, but whether he dares to let Huya Times bear a large part of it, or open his arms to ask for external funds to come in.
Chen Hao acted very calmly. He considered the possible probability of failure. Even if he failed, the 200 million would not be lost. At most, he would not make any profit or make less profit. What was consumed was his undefeated body, which might disappoint fans, but the probability was not high. He was more in favor of this creative combination of not novel themes, and he was confident to do it well. At the same time, there was one last safety guarantee, and there was another chance to draw a big roulette. Since the first draw was the "Tiny Times" series of movies, this time I have prepared all the scripts. Is it possible that the one I drew is the perfect version of the script I made? Or is it possible to pick out some "problems" in the script I made and correct them?
Isn't the fun of life to try the challenges you like to try?
Chen Hao did not have any psychological pressure. With an investment quota of 200 million yuan, he did not care what others thought. Once there was pressure on the investment, he would take out half of the investment quota, and the pressure was not great. In fact, he knew in his heart that 200 million yuan was not a problem. The only thing that everyone was worried about was whether the 200 million yuan investment in a TV series would disrupt the monetary order of the entire film and television industry. With such an investment, would the pay of the actors in your film exceed the standard? Would it lead to a large number of follow-up productions, destroying the healthy and green ecological environment of the entire industry?
In his opinion, these problems were just whining without illness. The media or they were just helping some people find the sense of picture. On the second day, he had already started to move, rested for a while, and relaxed. It was the great season of early autumn. If he did not work hard at this time, how could he have the courage to give himself a holiday at the end of the year.
The entire Huanju era became busy as a whole because of Chen Hao's start of work, just like the beginning of a major battle. The entire company started to operate and began to cooperate with the action of conquering the general. From the recruitment of soldiers to the support of logistics, one link after another was busy.
Chen Hao's office, large conference room, and small conference room were all used. The crew of "Tiny Times" was set up in the small conference room, selecting directors, actors, and corresponding staff. The beginning of the big plan here is the search for creative people and corresponding writers of the subject matter.
The office, which has always been quiet and empty, has become lively with people coming and going. The door of the office is not closed, and things can be handled at any time. After the layout of the large conference room is completed, the call for personnel from all walks of life begins.
What the company needs to do is to recruit corresponding talents in the entire industry in the name of the company and the creative team of Chen Hao's new work. Don't you want to soar to the sky? Now the opportunity has come. Haozi's new work is about to be released. Are you interested in becoming a member of the creative team? Bring your resume, achievements and abilities to apply for the job at Huanju Times.
Once the news was released, the first to come were not the applicants, but the friends who had worked with him in the past. The Shawshank Redemption was so amazing that it pushed Chen Hao to the ranks of masters. Now he has a new filming plan. Not only in China, but also in foreign countries, some people who think they are not appreciated for their talents are very interested in this opportunity. Film companies and actors are also eager to join Chen Hao's fun. Let's not talk about The Shawshank Redemption. Look at Chen Hao's previous works. Which one did not make his partners famous? Directors, actresses, supporting actors and even behind the scenes are all famous because of the achievements of their works.
Huaju Times then released the second news, and accompanied this news with a follow-up promotion. With the help of Chen Hao, this time the promotion does not need to be done much, and the media in the country and even Asia are following the report.
"The urban romance drama Tiny Times, adapted from Chen Hao's novel, has entered the preparation stage. The four leading actresses have been confirmed, including Dilireba, Jiang Shuying, Guli Nazha, and Zhou Dongyu. There will also be many young actors in the drama."
That afternoon, Joyous Times held a signing meeting for Gulinaza, and Xiaodi and the other two were also present. From three plastic sisters to four people, the media was happy to imagine. There was competition for roles in "Youth" before, and some people said that Jiang Shuying was dissatisfied with the small role she had. This time, Joyous Times made a movie with many beauties, and signed Gulinaza to a new company. These two exotic beauties from the border who almost never appeared on the same stage together will not only be in the same company this time, but will also co-star in a movie this year. In addition, some media brought up the relationship between Jiang Shuying, Gulinaza and Chen Hao in "Flowers and Youth". At that time, some people said that their relationship seemed too close. Later, when they established a relationship with Xiaodi, it gradually faded. This time, it was directly dug up. Now, any point that can create a gimmick will be used. The media never thinks that the news material is too big. They are only afraid that the news is not loud enough and not enough people are paying attention to it.
……………………
Chen Hao did not attend the signing ceremony. Whether it was to avoid suspicion or to deliberately leave room for the media to play, he had no time to think about these things. He spent the whole afternoon in the office and had an in-depth chat with the people in front of him about the creation of the script.
One is Zhang Dongxiu, a senior bookworm on the Internet, who graduated from the Department of Literature of a well-known university. It was he who gave Chen Hao an inspiration and felt that his creativity could be improved.
The other two are very well-known online authors who have created genres on the Internet, Sanshu and Tianxia, who wrote the series of adventure tomb-robbing novels. The main structure of the world and theme of Chen Hao's TV series this time is tomb-robbing. He has filmed TV series more than once before, but the effect has never been truly popular. Compared with the story constructed by pure text, with sound and picture and special effects that are sold at a high price, it is not as good as the effect of the novel. There are many reasons for this, and these are not a problem for Chen Hao. The most difficult thing to deal with is the so-called value orientation of the upper review, which can also be passed here. It is not based on personal relationships, but the pattern of his shooting this drama is there, and some things are relatively less strictly controlled.
Four people sat in the office and chatted for a whole afternoon. They first talked about the feedback of this theme in the market, then talked about the difficulty of connecting this theme to the world, and finally talked about Zhang Dongxiu's idea. It is still very rough now, just an idea. Chen Hao needs to enrich this idea into a complete story structure.
When chatting, people with something in their minds will feel that they can't talk enough. There will always be topics of this or that kind. More often, they will be anxious to interrupt others. Due to politeness and respect, they can't wait to express their own ideas after listening to others. Everyone has a complete set of their own huge cognitive system for tomb-robbing themes. Most of the time, Chen Hao became a listener, listening to the three of them discussing with each other, and what he grasped was what a practitioner needs. Once a certain point touches him, he will ask questions immediately and then discuss this issue in depth.
Sanshu and Tianxia, their respective works have been developed countless times in film and television IP, including games and some peripherals, but the results have never really satisfied them. They have become numb to the fact that their works have been changed. What they are dissatisfied with is that the world they want to present always fails to achieve the expected effect. Watching the American TV series "Game of Thrones", they really want their works to have similar effects. They have the confidence that the mysterious and bizarre world alone is absolutely as exciting as the story of "Game of Thrones".
This time, they got the news that Chen Hao was going to play a big production. Both of them rushed over overnight, almost didn't sleep, and were preparing early in the morning. They hoped that they would meet Chen Hao in the best condition, and hoped that this man who was given a historical mission by the entire Chinese film and television industry could really shoot the scene they had been looking forward to for a long time.
"Both of your novels are very good, but it is undeniable that the weak point is the entry point and continuation of a huge story system. From the perspective of a single scene, the scenes described in the two works are bizarre and magnificent. I think they are the best in the world. Zhang Dongxiu's current mode of getting rid of the mode of exploration or great mission driven by profit, that is, the forced survival mode he said, is very reliable and attractive, but this is just a simple brain hole, which needs to be complete and not inconsistent. This is why I hope everyone can work together to do this."
