Rebirth Begins with a Manga Adaptation

Entering the new year, Jing Yu has no new work plans for the time being. Basically, the company's business is now all about excavating the residual value of Jing Yu's previous works.

For example, after Tiga finished, Jing Yu started a series of plans for Ultraman's new works in the company. The scripts were given to the employees below anyway, but he himself didn't have so much energy to be a supervisor to control the quality of works like before.

However, in this quarter, Altman's new work also debuted in the spring after a year.

But at this time, Jing Yu's attention to Ultraman is not as high as before. Tiga was the first step in this series of works before, but now Ultraman's work has also grown in influence among children. To a certain extent, there is no need for Jing Yu to waste his tongue on publicity, the popularity of the work is extremely high before it is broadcast.

At this moment, Jing Yu's attention is focused on the work Spirited Away.

It can be said that this work has been produced for more than a year from the establishment of the project to the present.

The filming of Jing Yu was over in the middle of last year, and the remaining six months were all post-production by the special effects company.

Moreover, in terms of publicity, it has also continued to grow for half a year. From the release of the subsidized trailer promotional film in June and July last year to now, a total of three promotional films have been unveiled in the Dazhou Film Market.

And it’s different from Jing Yu’s previous movies. Because of his age and qualifications, everyone in the film industry inevitably looked down on Jing Yu, but after the baptism of the two films Your Name and Sky City, now basically There is no one who dares to underestimate Jing Yu's Spirited Away.

The major theater chains in Dazhou have already made preparations a month in advance, and now there are seven or eight out of ten movie theaters in these first- and second-tier cities, and Spirited Away movie posters are hung in the center of the theaters.

Among the 11 movies expected to be released during the Spring Festival, Spirited Away has the highest expectations in various websites, ticketing software, and comment areas of film and television forums during the same period.

After all, it is the new film of Jing Yu, the box office champion of spring last year.

What is Jing Yu's situation now?

Da Zhou is the undisputed king of TV dramas, with tens of millions of fans. In terms of movies, the cumulative box office of the movies he wrote and participated in exceeded 10 billion, and only three people in Da Zhou achieved this achievement.

In addition, the popularity of the game Rurouni Kenshin, which was released last month, has not disappeared.

The amount of traffic Jing Yu has accumulated now is a terrifying value. There are many films broadcast in the Spring Festival stalls by some old-timer directors and movie kings, but seeing the words "Spirited Away" still makes me feel apprehensive.

Da Zhou’s film distributor, which cooperated with Jing Yu’s company, even just made a guaranteed release of 4 billion box office for this film, but they wanted to sign a VAM contract with Jing Yu, but Jing Yu refused.

The total box office of Sky City is more than 4 billion, let alone Spirited Away, although everything is not absolute, but Jing Yu is not so risky that he is not cold.

With the promotion of Spirited Away and the movies released at the same time, starting from the first ten days of January, the entire Dazhou movie industry has basically been dominated by the news of these movies released during the Spring Festival.

"Looking forward to the new old thief movie after two years."

"The old thief is making TV dramas so fast, why is it so slow to create movies?"

"You also have to see that the old thief is working on the third line. Games, movies, TV series, and derivative works of previous works are released. How can there be so much energy?"

"Old Thief's production must be a high-quality product. I hope that Old Thief's movie box office will surpass Sky City and win the first place in the all-time movie box office list of the Great Week."

"Actually, I feel that there is a good chance. The total box office of the film with the highest box office in Dazhou is only over 6 billion. In fact, the old thief's Sky Castle last time has a good chance. It's a pity that the old thief was released before the Sky Castle At that time, the overseas film market was not opened, and there was no assistant for the overseas box office market.”

"Indeed, although the overseas box office data of Da Zhou's movies are generally not good, they basically account for one-fifth to one-sixth of the total box office. The old thief Sky City only works in the domestic market. It really suffers. But this time It’s different, foreigners will also celebrate the Spring Festival with us this time, and Spirited Away will be released globally on February 1.”

"It's better for everyone to stop milking. Many screenwriters and directors have been milked like this."

"Old thief, are you still afraid of this? It's not like you haven't seen the rise in his popularity in the past few years. He has become popular. Even my mother-in-law who farms in the countryside knows the name of Jingyu old thief."

"After all, the old thief is true. The three major industries of TV dramas, movies, and games are all making a lot of money. Last year, he was on the list of the richest people in the week."

"? I'm a little curious. Although the old thief's works are popular, it's too exaggerated to be on the rich list. During the New Year's Day, I read news reports that the old thief company issued year-end awards. I heard that the old thief company only made billions of profits last year. ! Probably not on the list.”

"The wealth of the rich list is not based on cash. His wealth is a combination of equity, copyright, and income. It is true that the old thief may not be too outrageous in cash, but the combined value of the copyright of his dozens of works is too high. The valuation is in the tens of billions.”

"That is, those rich people on the list look at their net worth tens of billions. In fact, they are all stock valuations. If they really want to cash out, they can get half of the stock value out. He is amazing. How can there be so many people in Dazhou who can take over tens of billions?" I’m afraid I’m not as rich as the old thief. Anyway, the old thief took out one billion and two billion to develop new works without frowning. I’m going to hate those people.”

"Hey, watching the old thief make money is more uncomfortable than I lose money. He is still my junior at the same school! He is on the rich list, and I am a social animal with a monthly salary of 6,000 all day long. I am almost speechless."

"The comparison between people is indeed different. The old thief's road to rise is not black, it depends on his talent, but looking back, it is indeed too exaggerated."

"But to be honest, if the box office revenue of Spirited Away is also the highest in history, then the old thief will really become a god. He is an absolute god-like figure who has achieved the most brilliant achievements in both film and TV dramas."

"Be bold. Guess that Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh, released in the second half of the year, have exploded in sales and become the world's best-selling games. Then Old Thieves will be the top of the three industries, the absolute king of the entertainment industry."

"Movies still have a chance to be No. 1 in China, but games don't matter. The world's No. 1 game in total sales has been born for more than 20 years. There are a total of 19 series of works, with a cumulative sales of 190 million. Unless the old thief also put it These game works have been made into more than a dozen series, and it will take at least ten years to operate the game, otherwise there is no chance to surpass this kind of data.”

"But it would be great if the total sales volume of Pokémon or Yu-Gi-Oh! can exceed 20 million! Compared with the total sales of those series, it is definitely difficult to compare, but compared with the sales of a single work, if it can exceed 20 million, then at least The top 30 in history."

"I hope, but compared to those, I hope that the old thief will make some big news quickly. How long has it been since the end of the giant, and it is still in there to maintain health. Whether it is a movie or a TV series, a new project with a big production should be established as soon as possible! "

Jing Yu looked at the comments related to him in various forums, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Similar to the thoughts of these fans, Jing Yu actually has such intentions for Spirited Away to hit the No. 1 box office in the film history of the big week.

After all, the tastes of the people in Dazhou are indeed highly similar to those in Jingyu's previous life in Japan.

It's just that the so-called No. 1 at the box office doesn't necessarily mean that Jing Yu has achieved this achievement in Qian and Qian Xun in his previous life, and Jing Yu can reproduce it in Da Zhou.

A typical example is that Jingyu's previous life Sky City had a poor box office, but it was higher than your name in Dazhou.

It’s not that the quality of the movie is good enough, the box office must be high, otherwise, to be honest, there are too many good works in Jing Yu’s previous Hua Guodian movies, and most of those works have a mediocre box office, but movies like Li Huanying can be ranked in the top five , the total box office broke five billion.

For a movie that hits the box office, more often than not, traffic, original capital, and publicity are more important than the quality of the work itself.

Is Spirited Away a good work? That is natural, but its excellence has not reached the point of being particularly godly.

But a work whose quality is much above the standard line, coupled with Jing Yu's current popularity bonus. This is the important reason why Jing Yu dared to covet the box office champion.

Compared with the quality of the work, Jing Yu is confident that Spirited Away will not lose. Compared with the promotion of the original work of Capital, the promotion fee of Spirited Away is the highest among all the works released in the spring.

Compared with the traffic popularity of the protagonists of the works

To be honest, although Jing Yu has not won any best actor awards, his popularity is much higher than those actor actors

Work quality, funding, and capital operation conditions are all in this work of Spirited Away.

The right time, place, people and three factors, at least two factors, Jingyu can do the best in the same period.

Now

"It just takes a little luck." Jing Yu took a deep breath.

You can only predict the market, but not predict it. Although Jing Yu has made all the preparations, it still depends on the market how far Spirited Away can go in the film industry after its release.

Turning off the computer, Jing Yu picked up the report next to the desk.

Those are Jing Yu's itinerary for the next month, and they are fully planned.

The company spent more than 200 million on the filming of Spirited Away, and nearly 200 million on publicity, so Jing Yu naturally had to take it seriously.

Jing Yu will travel to all thirteen cities across the country between now and February 1st when Spirited Away is reporting.

In the first ten days of January, the market was relatively stable.

After the two episodes of Ultraman Gaia were broadcast, the ratings hovered between 9% and 10%, which was lower than that of Dijia, but Jing Yu also expected this situation.

For a work like Ultraman, the first one is fresh, and the second one will definitely make some people feel tired. Besides, the plot of Gaia is indeed worse than that of Tiga. Jing Yu thinks it is a bit worse, so the ratings are not as good as Tiga. It's normal.

But it is still the No. 1 work in the spring ratings, and Jing Yu's ratings king is unshakable this season.

On the other hand, one month after the launch of Jianxin Game, Jingyu Company has also launched some small and medium-sized games this quarter.

Like Ultraman Match, Evangelion Elemental Battle game, Bingguo TV series derivative puzzle game, etc.

These things can also be regarded as an attempt by Jingyu Company. If the market response is better, then related works will appear one after another in the future.

The time is like this, and it has come to the middle and late January

At this point, the entire film industry is at war.

The media of good deeds in the entire industry has begun to give their box office predictions for the works in the Spring Festival.

On Jingyu's side, people from the operation department, publicity department, and business department mobilized together to start a py with the major theaters in Dazhou. The purpose is very simple, which is to rush to arrange films.

Now the film market for the Spring Festival in the Great Week is actually basically clear, and the movie with the highest audience expectations is Spirited Away.

The outside world predicts that the highest-grossing work of the Spring Festival movie, Spirited Away.

Jing Yu himself is thinking about whether Spirited Away has a chance to hit the No. 1 box office in the film history of the Great Week.

But the premise of all this is

Spirited Away's Spring Festival film schedule must strive for the first place.

There are so many works released in this schedule, and none of them are weak. The box office investment of Spirited Away only ranks third among them. There are two works that have exceeded 300 million funds for shooting alone. Although the cost of publicity is not Spirited Away is as high as Spirited Away, but it has also exceeded 100 million.

They are all very powerful competitors, but the theater chain actually tends to give Spirited Away more films. Who will make things difficult for fans' wishes and money?

Movie theaters also have to respect movie fans, so Jing Yu's place has just passed the middle of January and is only ten days away from the Spring Festival schedule, and it has also received preliminary news.

"Nationwide, there is a high probability that Spirited Away will be scheduled for more than 21%. As for the foreign market, there are no popular movies to be released in foreign countries at the same time, and there will be no filming of this work to protect those things, so the filming can also be fought for. reached more than 10%”

The subordinates looked at the report sheet in their hands and Jing Yu reported the relevant data, and the expressions of the subordinates were also excited and proud.

He is an old employee of the film department of Jingyu Lanxing Film and Television Culture Company. The company's employee number is in the top 100. He is a person who joined the company only half a year after its establishment.

He still remembers that when Jingyu Rurouni Kenshin movie was released a few years ago, people from the film department called from the supervisor to the original operation to ask the theater to arrange more movies, but they ignored them, but now... it doesn't take much effort , In the negotiation with the theater chain, Jingyu actually has a greater advantage and more right to speak.

Over the past few years, Blue Star Film and Television Culture Company has rarely played an advantage game before the release of its works, and it is still in the Spring Festival, which is a big time for movies throughout the year. Naturally, it is no wonder that the employees are so excited.

Of course, in fact, the theater also knows very well which of these films released during the Spring Festival is the biggest cash cow. Blue Star's requirements are to meet as much as possible.

"21%?" Jing Yu pondered for a while after hearing this.

"Can't you fight any more?"

"This is already the limit. Our family accounts for more than one-fifth of the thirteen films released during the Spring Festival. The theaters have to balance the demands of various audiences." The subordinates looked at Jing with a worried expression Yu said.

"I understand." Jing Yu nodded, not being greedy anymore, after signing the document.

"Just deal with it according to this plan. By the way, on the box office subsidy side, I will inform the people in the operation department to spend an extra 30 million budget, and try to attract more movie fans to enter the theater on the first day of the show. The rest, I will work hard for you The entire staff of the film department."

Hearing the words, the subordinates waved their hands quickly, chatted politely with Jing Yu for a while, and then left.

As for the promotion and operation of the work, as long as the funds are sufficient, it is actually not a big problem, and there are not many tricks to play.

Jing Yu is also step by step, steadily working on the release of Spirited Away's movie.

He looked out of the window, the snow in Modu had melted a little.

There are still ten days left.
