Rebirth Begins with a Manga Adaptation

The passing of October also marks the end of the first month of the winter season.

The attacking giants are gaining momentum. Tiga maintained the first ratings in the last quarter, although it is now overtaken by the giants, but in fact, the two works are overwhelmingly influential compared to other works in the same period.

On the other hand, the crew formation of Jing Yu's latest films is also in progress.

The winner is justice and Evangelion's theatrical movies just need the original cast, there is nothing too particular about it.

So after a period of silence, Yu Youqing and Xia Yining joined the Evangelion crew again because of Jing Yu's filming plan and Jing Yu.

However, the selection of actors for Spirited Away is more troublesome.

Of course, with Jing Yu's current status in the industry, he can definitely find any type of actor as long as he asks. The heroine of this movie with Chihiro is eyeing.

The three major companies in the film industry of Dazhou basically kept sending people to contact Jing Yu Blue Star Company, hoping to let their artists join the film crew of Jing Yu.

These things are very normal. However, if Jing Yu doesn't want to be the world's enemy in Dazhou's film and television industry, then tricky behavior in these industries is inevitable. Although there is a lot of competition with these companies, it is not a bad thing for them to cooperate with each other . And it's not about taking advantage of the cheap to others. It is not uncommon in the industry for a project that might only earn 100 million yuan to cooperate to expand the market, and finally earn 200 million yuan, and then each of them will share 100 million yuan.

However, these matters are left to Jing Yu's subordinates. He is not very interested in who actually participates in his works. Anyway, his requirements are there. If the people recommended by these companies can meet the requirements for participation, he is not interested Mind being a favor.

But on the Internet, the quota for the role of Chihiro has caused huge controversy among a bunch of netizens.

Under the age of sixteen, with good looks and body, there are too many famous actresses with acting skills in the Dazhou film and television industry.

Even though Jing Yu set up a lot of screening criteria, and a bunch of female artists placed by fellow film companies to try their luck, in fact, a total of more than a dozen people were shortlisted for the audition for this role by Blue Star Film and Television Culture Company.

Among them, the rivalry between fans of several popular actresses has reached a fever pitch, and Jing Yu can see quite a few of them when he casually wanders around the film and television forums.

"It feels like Da Zhou has become more and more popular in recent years." Jing Yu shook his head.

He wasn't like this when he was filming a few years ago, but now his style has changed drastically. In the few years since the rise of the Internet, Da Zhou's net names are much more radical than before.

"But to be honest, I'm the one with the largest number of fans in the film and television industry today. I'm not qualified to say anything about others."

The difference is that in the eyes of fans, Jing Yu is a combination of strength, hard work and idol, so basically no black spots can be found.

Flipping through the files organized by his subordinates in his office.

Regarding the launch schedule of Gundam sedd, the publicity will basically start from next month.

As the TV drama with the largest investment in Dazhou in the past ten years, the investment of up to 400 million in seed has already made this drama attract the greatest attention in the industry.

Of course, with the launch of Gundam Seed, there are also a series of supporting marketing and peripheral copyright sales.

And within this month, the actors of Spirited Away will basically be confirmed for plastic surgery, and the crew will be formed before next month. So from next month, Jing Yu will be responsible for the promotional activities of Gundam Seed and the filming of Evangelion and Spirited Away at the same time.

Jing Yu's long-lost liver explosion mode has to be turned on again.

"By the way, in Da Zhou's film and television industry, I'm probably the only boss who has to be so busy at my level." Jing Yu sighed.

It's not that there is any dissatisfaction, it's just a simple complaint.

Now more than 70% of the company's profit-making projects are all maintained by him. Leaving aside the income generated by Jing Yu's works, the company's other self-produced projects basically do not make money. Of course, they don't lose money.

On the surface, Blue Star Film and Television Culture Company is developing very rapidly. In a few years, it has dominated the TV drama industry and achieved top performance in the film industry. However, Jingyu Company has been recruiting talents for three years, and its self-made works have not been released.

Therefore, Jing Yu has no choice but to retreat behind the scenes and become a happy boss. He still has to work hard on the front line of the company.

After signing the relevant cooperation documents on Gundam Seed, Jing Yu turned his attention to the financial situation of his company.

In the past few years since Jing Yu established the Blue Star Film and Television Culture Company, he has produced dozens of works, large and small, which not only became popular in the big week, but also have a large number of audiences overseas.

The subsequent copyright income generated by these works every month is a very exaggerated figure. In addition, in the past two years, Jing Yu's several films have nearly tens of billions in box office revenue, Evangelion, Destiny Guardian Night, Tiga, etc. The profits from TV series peripherals of big ip works, billions of cash in the company's books are lying there, and the president of the bank where the company's bank account belongs can be said to send a wave of greetings to Jing Yu during the holidays.

Jing Yu really has no way to spend this money.

He himself doesn't know how to manage money, and he also thinks it's stupid to use the money he has worked so hard for eight or nine years to manage for bricks. He might be cheated, but it's not an option to keep lying on the account all the time. At this point, he also understands that if such a sum of money is only paid for current interest on the account, it will be a loss to his grandma's family.

It is definitely unrealistic to spend this money as an investment for filming, and Jing Yu would not be able to write so many scripts even if he was exhausted.

So Jing Yu is also thinking about the company's new business expansion.

When it comes to burning money and making money, the game industry must be the first thing Jing Yu thinks of.

In the past, I have accumulated a lot of popular IP works. Many works can actually be made into sequels, but Jing Yu didn’t do it. In fact, through the accumulation of time, the influence of these works has been expanded as much as possible, and the follow-up plots can actually be gamified. come out.

For example, in the movie Rurouni Kenshin: Reminiscences, the length of the original main story is really too long, so Jing Yu has not started to perfect his follow-up plot.

But even today, there are still a large number of fans on the Internet calling for Jing Yu to produce a sequel to this work.

Another example is the sequel to Steins;Gate, which has left suspense.

In other words, it is broadcast on the network platform, and it is still the highest-rated Natsume's Account of Friends among the exclusive dramas on the Qingyun video website.

But after all, manpower is exhausted, Jing Yu is alone, and he has to be responsible for the company's large and small business affairs, and has to fill in so many works he has starred in before. He is really powerless, so he is also interested in writing the follow-up script, Let the people in the game department adapt it into a game based on the plot of the main script.

For example, in the follow-up of works of the type Rurouni Kenshin, it is entirely possible to extract the storyline of fighting with Shi Zhixiong and others later, and adapt it into a samurai-style stand-alone fighting game of the type of Sekiro in Jingyu's previous life.

The Steins;Gate sequel could be adapted as a word puzzle game.

Natsume's Book of Friends is not impossible to directly make it into the kind of monster-raising mobile games that girls like.

Needless to say about the initial D, although the copyright is jointly held by Jingyu and Yunteng, Yunteng will definitely be happy to see the success of the secondary development, and it is not impossible to make it into a racing game.

Not to mention Evangelion and Ultraman.

In Jingyu's previous life, animation, comics, TV dramas, games, novels and other themes themselves were a large category that transformed and grew together.

In Dazhou, the same idea can also be used to develop and operate these popular works.

So Jing Yu actually kept summoning the person in charge of the company's game department in the past two days to discuss with him the possibility of starting a similar project.

The main reason is whether the game department of the company has the strength to make these works into large-scale stand-alone games or mobile games.

But the conclusion is that it is not impossible to make a game into a game, but it needs a lot of investment, and the strength of the members of the company's game department needs to be strengthened.

But in fact, purely in terms of technology, Da Zhou's current technical level is not much different from the time when Jing Yu traveled to this world, and there is only a few years of technical gap.

If we really want to use these IPs to produce those large-scale and excellent stand-alone games, in terms of hard power, the problem is not too big, and it is something that money can solve.

"We have to think about the direction of development in this aspect." Jing Yu pondered for a while.

Do these power TV series make money in the Internet age?

Of course it makes money, but of course the most profitable virtual entertainment products have to be games.

With the development of Jingyu Company to its current scale, diversified development must be the only way.

I thought for a long time in the office

When Jing Yu came back to his senses, it was already evening.

Walking out of the office and walking all the way to the elevator, everyone I met along the way smiled and said polite words to Jing Yu that the boss is waiting for me.

As early as last year, Jingyu Company moved from the previously rented remote area to the current building in the commercial center of Shanghai. The property bought with money has been renovated and used as the headquarters of the Blue Star Film and Television Culture Company.

But recalling the scene when he just left Yunteng TV a few years ago, Jing Yu can only lament that he developed too fast. After all, he didn't even have the funds to film the film at that time, and he went to talk to Yunteng with his face. Borrow to tide you over.

But there is one thing to say, if it wasn't for the fact that Yunteng hadn't done anything to make Jingyu unhappy after Jingyu left Yunteng, the two dramas of Tijia and Giant may not be broadcast on Yunteng TV now.

After all, for a work with this kind of ratings, even if it is on the three major TV stations, it must be greedy and want to buy the rights to broadcast it.

After Jing Yu greeted the company employees with a somewhat absent-minded expression, Jing Yu drove home alone.

After returning home, Yu Youqing was already lying on the sofa early on, and when she saw Jing Yu coming back, she had a smile on her face.

"Come back? Oh, yes, there is something here that needs you to deal with."

While talking, Yu Youqing handed Jing Yu the information in his hand.

After Jing Yu finished the result, he glanced at it casually.

Then his expression relaxed.

It's not a big deal, it's just that Xingtong TV station felt the huge threat from the giants, and was afraid that the ratings of the giants would surpass their top-rated historical drama Da Zhou Palace more than ten years ago.

Therefore, I also temporarily adjusted the broadcasting time of many programs on the station, and planned to adjust the broadcasting time of several popular programs on the station to Saturday nights in this quarter and next season.

The purpose of this is clear.

Anyway, they also know that in terms of the giant's current popularity and ratings, these small tricks are not very meaningful, but the battle for the ratings of top dramas is very important, even if these tricks have a small impact, But it is definitely not zero, and it can be regarded as clearly sacrificing the results of these programs in one or two quarters, trying to see if they can keep the No. 1 position in the ratings of the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty. At the same time, the purpose of engaging in the top ratings programs in my own station to compete in the ring is for this.

"Well, I feel that these operations are actually useless. The giant's popularity has risen to such a level now that it can't be affected by adjusting several popular variety shows to the evening time." Jing Yu pondered for a while.

"But their behavior still makes me uncomfortable."

"I have tolerated it this season. I deliberately put the Giants on Saturday night at 11 o'clock. It's a bit of a face for them, but even so. If the Giants can finally get the ratings Surpassing Xingtong's previous drama of the Great Zhou court, that is what it deserves to achieve, but even so, Xingtong still uses this method."

In fact, Jing Yu doesn’t care too much about the ratings until now. The so-called first, second and third ratings are all just a title, just like Zhou Xingchi’s nomination for actor seven times in his previous life. Running is the same, does not winning an award affect them? When a person's status in the industry reaches a certain level, these titles have limited meaning to them, and the same is true for Jing Yu, and it will not affect Jing Yu's income from these works in the slightest.

But he won't make great efforts to fight deliberately, which doesn't mean that he will be indifferent when his reputation is squeezed out by others.

"Then you are ready." Yu Youqing asked.

"Forget it. Half of this season has passed, and I'm too lazy to adjust, and it's troublesome to communicate with Yunteng. In less than two months' time, the spring file, isn't Gundam going to be broadcast? By then Xingtong When the TV station's main drama of the season is broadcast, we just squeeze past it." Jing Yu put down the document in his hand.

"Then don't care about it?"

Yu Youqing said in surprise.

She knows Jing Yu well, as long as there is a fair competition, Jing Yu is absolutely generous, even if he loses, he will not seek revenge next time.

But as long as anyone wants to engage in unfair competition, Jing Yu must be in cheapskate mode.

"The main reason is that Xingtong's operations are not threatening, so I don't bother to care about them. The ratings of the giant's early episodes are like this, but Xingtong wants to suppress the ratings in the later episodes? How is it possible?" Jing Yu responded.

"Xingtong wants to experience the pain of being dominated by giants, let them come, I would like to see the popular variety show it has just adjusted, and it is going to start broadcasting at 10 o'clock on Saturday night from this week, and this season will start at 11 o'clock The next major drama, a music talent show that starts broadcasting at 12 o'clock, will it affect the ratings of Giants?"
