The King of Crossover Entertainment.

Chapter 433 0433, Annual Plan

The slogan of "the rise of Chinese comics" has been shouted for many years, and its development today is indeed prosperous.

However, when it comes to the most popular original comic works, we cannot avoid "Under One Person", "City of the Dead" and "Diao Ren". In terms of story depth, "City of the Dead" is slightly inferior to "Under One Person" and "Diao Ren", but it is the most typical hot-blooded comic of the three works.

Whether on Earth or on the blue planet, the two super IPs among the four great classics are "Journey to the West" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Journey to the West can be regarded as a super film and television IP, such as the classic "A Chinese Odyssey" and "The Return of the Great Sage" which represents the rise of Chinese comics, while the Three Kingdoms is a super game IP. Games with Three Kingdoms themes definitely occupy half of the game market, such as the globally popular "Dynasty Warriors" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

"City of the Dead" is also a Three Kingdoms theme in a way, because the three martial gods in the story are the descendants of Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and Liu Bei, the founders of the Three Kingdoms, and their guardian spirits are also famous generals in various camps during the Three Kingdoms period.

The theme of the Three Kingdoms is a point that attracts readers.

and.

Another point that attracts readers is that it is produced by the Youxianqi Comics Studio.

As everyone knows, this is the comics studio under Yunfeng's company. Like him, it not only produces in full color, but also draws every frame of the comics with meticulous attention to detail.

also.

What attracts readers the most is that Yunfeng is the screenwriter.

There is no doubt about his ability to write stories. He was the screenwriter for such best-selling comics as "Detective Conan", "Feng Yun II, III", and "Gourmet Spirit".

and so.

The comic "Soul Land" triggered a reading boom as soon as it was released, and its popularity in a single day even surpassed the popular serials "Detective Conan" and "Gourmet Spirit", and was catching up with the number one "Dragon Ball".

"Soul-suppressing Street, Soul-suppressing General, Soul-hosting Person, Guardian Spirit, Yun Da is worthy of it, and has opened up a new brain hole."

"I read the first and second episodes. They are quite interesting."

"The painting style is very good, especially 'Tiger Crazy Xu Chu', which is really domineering!"

“The subject matter is very good and the plot is relatively novel.”

"There's another anime to catch up on. I hope it will be updated with more powerful content."

……

Discussion is inevitable after reading it, and judging from the direction of the comments section, most readers are looking forward to the follow-up.

Yunfeng personally believes that the highlight of "City of the Dead" is that Yu Jin died in the battle against evil spirits to protect Cao Yanbing. Before his death, he used his life to release the Ten Kings of Hell and released Xu Chu and six other generals. The sentence "I, Yu Jin, am willing to go through fire and water for the Cao family for generations" ignited the hearts of many readers.

He has not read the original comic, but he was drawn into the anime by this part of the plot.

All in all, whether this "City of the Dead" can retain readers depends on its future development.

----

Time flies and another Spring Festival is over.

"Green Snake" eventually won the Spring Festival box office championship with a box office of 37 billion yuan, and broke the box office records of fantasy and martial arts movies.

If the high box office of "Secret" was due to luck, then the high box office of "Green Snake" proved that it was not luck, but real strength.

Yunfeng's talent as a screenwriter was once again raised, and it was even rumored that the price of a script was as high as 100 million yuan.

You know, out of the 200 million yuan cost of "Green Snake", the producers received a full 1 billion yuan.

It's a sure win business, who would complain about having too much money?

Many investors have set their sights on Legendary Pictures and have contacted the company, all wanting to invest.

Of course, it is true that “more money means easier things”. If you can hire big directors and big stars, there is no such thing as saving a penny on post-production and publicity.

but.

More shareholders may increase decision-making costs, cause chaos in company management, and affect the company's operating results. This involves the disadvantages of administrative bundling and problems caused by equity balance, as well as problems with the design of the company's governance structure.

Yunfeng, Wang Defa and Ma Siyu chatted for an entire afternoon and finally concluded that they would make additional investments themselves and not accept external investments for the time being.

To put it simply, it means "keep the wealth within the family."

After "Green Snake" was taken off the screen, the first movie adapted from the comic "Feng Yun I" "Feng Yun: The King Dominates the World" was put on the agenda.

"Crazy, which director do you want to find this time, Huang Hai? Hu Haofeng? Or Xu Liang?" Wang Defa asked curiously.

The people of Huanghai are nicknamed "universal directors". As long as they are paid enough, they can make any type of movie and make it well.

Needless to say, Hu Haofeng and Xu Liang are the top martial arts film directors in China.

Among them, Huang Hai and Hu Haofeng had cooperated directly, and Xu Liang had cooperated indirectly.

Yunfeng thought for a moment and said, "When I visited the crews of "The Darter", "Secret" and "Green Snake", I deliberately talked to the three directors about the film and television adaptation of "Wind and Cloud". From the direction and concept of the adaptation they expressed, I still think Director Xu Liang is more suitable."

Wang Defa nodded and said, "Okay, I'll have someone contact Xu Liang when I get back."

It’s up to the company to negotiate.

Ma Siyu immediately rubbed his hands with interest and said, "Then, what about the choice of actors?"

This is very important. Many characters appeared in the Xiong Ba chapter, including Bu Jingyun, Nie Feng, Kong Ci, Xiong Ba, Chu Chu, Di Er Meng, Duan Lang, Wuming, Sword Saint, Clay Buddha, etc. If you want to create a classic, you can't be careless in casting.

For example, several film and television dramas adapted from "Feng Yun" on Earth in the previous life, such as Chiba Shinichi's Xiong Ba, Aaron Kwok and Peter Ho's Bu Jingyun, Ekin Cheng and Zhao Wenzhuo's Nie Feng, Jiang Qinqin's Second Dream, Sun Xing's Wuming, etc. are all deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Yunfeng shrugged and said, "Except for the second dream, the actors for the other roles have not been confirmed yet."

Ma Siyu asked curiously, "Who plays the second dream?"

Yunfeng smiled slightly and said, "Second sister."

In the Feng Yun movie and Feng Yun TV series, there must be a role reserved for Yun Yun, and among the three main female characters, Kong Ci, Chu Chu and Di Er Meng, he chose Di Er Meng.

When Wang Defa and Ma Siyu heard this, they both nodded in agreement.

Yunfeng added, "As for the actors for the other roles, wait until you have discussed it with Director Xu Liang, and then I will discuss it with him."

Wang Defa responded, "Okay."

Ma Siyu asked casually: "Crazy, what about the original script? Is there any this year?"

Yunfeng was silent for a moment, and said, "Let's wait until Xiaoyu's concert is over. Now I have to update "The Great Ruler" and "Dragon Ball" and compose songs. I'm too busy."

Even if his achievements as a cross-border professional [screenwriter] were not enough to customize scripts, he could still use his memory to write scripts based on several classic film and television dramas he had watched on Earth in his previous life.

However, it takes time.
