Chapter 345: Open a comic club?
This document, which he had to open personally, contained an A4 paper. This was actually normal. Since their company became famous, they often received submissions from many screenwriters who sent their scripts to their company.
There are well-known ones, of course, but there are more who are newcomers who have just entered the industry, not very well-known, or no one knows them at all. They are fledgling screenwriters who will think about submitting their scripts to production companies to try their luck, which is a very normal thing.
When they were in China, they would receive a lot of them from time to time.
Now, although they have come to Hollywood, they have also made some achievements. The film and television industry all over the world is actually the same, with not much difference. As their company's popularity increases in North America, it is normal for some screenwriters to submit their works to them.
But this time it's not a script, but a comic book.
The colorful picture shows several robots with a slightly simple style of painting, fighting against each other in the universe.
You know, this is not a comics club, and they don't have any comics publishing business. How could any cartoonist submit their works to them?
Was it sent by mistake?
But this was not what surprised Xia Yuan the most. What surprised him the most was the content of the comic book that was delivered.
This comic book doesn't have many pages, only about one hundred and fifty or sixty pages. It seems that it is not the entire volume, but only one or two chapters have been delivered.
After turning to the first page, Xia Yuan was stunned, because just as he had said before, this story was very special.
Looks very familiar.
The beginning of the story introduces the protagonist, a very ordinary male high school student, just like most of his peers. He is no different from others. He is bullied in school, no one cares about him, he is laughed at by tall classmates, ignored by the girls he likes, and even unwelcome in front of his family!
The image of a white loser is vividly portrayed on the paper. Of course, this is also the image of the majority. There are many such people in America where school bullying is prevalent. In fact, the better your academic performance, the higher the possibility that you will suffer from school bullying.
The story revolves around such a young man.
Then one day, his father bought him a car as a coming-of-age gift, and the price was that the protagonist had to take a perfect score in the next test. Of course, the protagonist agreed.
At first, the protagonist thought his father would buy him a cool sports car as a gift, and he looked forward to it for a long time, but he couldn't find it. Finally, his father took him to a flea market and bought a second-hand car. The story revolves around this car, and the protagonist is involved in a conspiracy involving the stars in the universe.
The more Xia Yuan looked, the more frightened he became.
Isn’t this story exactly about Transformers?
He is currently in the middle of worrying about what his next project will be and is currently selecting scripts.
To be honest, it is quite troublesome without the senior sister. First of all, there is no one who can give him some new opinions and references in the script.
Without the senior sister to make the three choices, he felt uncomfortable all over.
Although the topic has been decided, it will be a superhero theme.
But the problem is that the definition of this subject matter is very broad, and there are quite a few movies about the other world. Now he has selected three scripts.
"Iron Man", "Homelander", "Transformers".
These are the three scripts he selected this time.
What shocked him now was that the story of the comic submission he saw was actually similar to "Transformers".
In fact, they are not exactly the same. We can only say that the ideas are the same, and the direction of the stories is also similar to a certain extent, but they are not exactly the same.
"That's understandable." Xia Yuan thought about it and nodded.
After all, anyone who has worked in this industry for a long time knows that so-called artistic creation is actually produced according to a routine. The only purpose is only one: to provide emotional value to the audience.
This emotional value can be excitement, pleasure, anger, or even sadness.
As long as you can arouse the audience's interest and bring them some kind of emotional satisfaction, then your work is qualified.
No matter how things change, the essence remains the same. This is how short plays are, they stir up anger and make you want to keep watching even though you know what will happen next.
The same is true for hot-blooded anime, and also for those novels and movies that are full of cruelty.
After all, if you can't arouse the audience's emotional value, wouldn't you be better off watching the surveillance video?
It's very simple.
Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be similarities in some plot designs, especially in this kind of passionate story, the most useful characters are always the same ones.
Otherwise, why do authors like to use orphans when writing novels? Why do they like to use protagonists who are miserable?
Isn’t it because it can arouse emotions that it works well?
Then in terms of creativity, it is obvious that "Transformers" is the one he is most optimistic about among the three and the one he wants to shoot the most.
Otherwise, why not make this "Transformers"?
Xia Yuan was already eager to make a move.
And this Mike is also a talent. Especially after Xia Yuan finished reading his submission, he turned to the last page and saw some words.
[Mr. Xia Yuan, I am also your fan. I really hope to meet you. I think I can provide you with more value.]
Xia Yuan felt a little restless.
Although he now has a script, Mike's submission will not be used by him.
But this doesn't mean that Mike can't be absorbed into the company.
Because his next goal is obviously to make achievements in superhero IP.
This field is actually somewhat different from other types of movies and TV dramas. That is, the superhero theme is actually based on comics.
First of all, it is because of the large audience in the comics field that there is a huge base of superhero movie audiences.
Then it is also important to create your own comic club.
Not to mention the 21st Century Fox
Although they didn't know why they had offended the giant Fox of the 21st Century, it was now obvious that the conflict between the two sides could no longer be reconciled, and Xia Yuan was not someone who liked to curry favor with others.
Since people kept coming up to him to disgust him, there was no need for him to speak to them in a nice tone.
Then, we must fight back.
As for how to fight back, isn’t there a good choice in front of us now?
Superheroes have always been Fox's main business and top field in the 21st century.
Then he will enter this field!
If they want to make Transformers and publish comics at the same time, it is obvious that they will expand their business scope and it is in line with the company's strategic goals. (End of this chapter)
