Seclusion in the Entertainment Industry

Indeed, more than ten years ago, not to mention film and television adaptation copyrights, even the Chinese film market itself was not very developed. At that time, who would have thought that the movie box office would skyrocket to more than a billion or billions? Moreover, there was no concept of big IP back then. A very good work could sometimes be purchased for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

Now, with the rapid development of the film market, coupled with some capital and media hype, the copyright fees for some well-known IP film and television adaptations have reached hundreds of thousands or even millions, and the most terrifying ones may even reach tens of millions. .

And this phenomenon actually has an intensifying trend!

Stimulated by the film market, the prices of many well-known IPs have been raised to sky-high prices. Not only literary works, but also some games, toys, comics... and other IP copyrights that can be developed have been sold by some capital Keep an eye on it, and this phenomenon may continue for some time.

Under such a general situation, writers like Tian Ming and others, who had sold the film and television copyrights of their works at low prices long ago, all suffered huge losses.

However, the market is like this. The original copyright fee of more than 100,000 yuan was actually a high price, but who would have thought that today’s price would become so crazy?

Tian Ming could only break his teeth and swallow it.

Fortunately, he still maintains his outstanding creativity until now. Although the film and television adaptations of his previous works no longer belong to him, he can still write more other new works. Moreover, because of the accumulation of time and fame over the years, his The creative value is also very high.

Just like "Deep Space Trek", which he led the screenwriting, the movie has a box office of more than 1 billion. He himself has also received a very good income as a screenwriter, and "Deep Space Trek" has also begun to publish a film and television series of the same name. In the future It is also possible to make it into a game, etc., and carry out full copyright development.

For Tian Ming, this can be regarded as compensation from another aspect of the market.

…

Although Chen Feng doesn't know much about some IPs in this world, in the dream world, he has also experienced a period of so-called big IP development, movies, TV series, online series, etc. Many film and television projects are trying to revolve around this To create a so-called well-known IP, relying on the popularity of the IP and a few popular star actors is like sitting on the ground and attracting money.

However, many such attempts failed in the end, and then the craze for big IP began to recede, and the film and television industry slowly regained its composure.

Although some good quality IPs can still be sold at high prices,

But few people will use the original IP+traffic method to fool the market.

Because if you fool the market, the market will eventually respond to you very cruelly.

Now, in this world, this kind of operation of developing big IP has just begun, and it is estimated that it will continue to rise in a short period of time. However, as a veteran, Chen Feng is not optimistic about this because he has some experience in this area. phenomenon.

On the contrary, like Tian Ming, although his old works have not caught up with the good times, he is still actively creating new works and is directly involved in the work of film screenwriting. This model should be better.

…

At the dinner, under Wu Hengjiang's deliberate mediation, the atmosphere quickly became lively. After all, we are all peers and have a lot of thoughts on current Chinese-language movies, especially science fiction movies. After going back and forth, we started to talk very speculatively.

Chen Feng was also very interested in several topics discussed. As Wu Hengjiang said, science fiction movies are the major trend in the development of the film industry in the future, and it is impossible for him not to pay attention to this.

Moreover, as the box office of the imported film "Escape from the Mother Planet" gets higher and higher, everyone will have some ideas.

Among them, the most aggrieved person was Tian Ming.

"Oh, the movie "Escape from the Mother Planet" is actually just the oldest routine. It just changes the background to the planet space. This kind of subject has long been written badly by our science fiction writers, and no one cares about it now. Writing this kind of thing, but... foreigners can film it and still get good box office, this is really..."

For a moment, Tian Ming couldn't think of the right words to describe this feeling.

Wu Hengjiang quickly comforted him.

"Yes, Teacher Tian, ​​I have read the works you wrote many years ago, and they are much better than the storyline of "Escape from the Mother Planet". In fact, we really have a lot of better things, but it is a pity that due to various reasons, The reason cannot be developed... However, in terms of scriptwriting or story writing, we are no worse than anyone else!"

Fang Cheng nodded again and again beside him.

Even the two foreigners showed admiration.

One of them, Mike, directly expressed his thoughts.

"I think so too... I have read a lot of your works over the years... You are very imaginative, even the gods and demons in ancient times are wonderful. I admire your culture very much..."

Another man named James next to him also echoed.

"I have also read some of Mr. Tian's works, and some of them shocked me deeply!"

Mike and James have been undertaking some projects overseas all year round. They are very talented in language and are proficient in Chinese, so everyone can communicate very easily.

Chen Feng is also very interested in these two foreigners, because it is rare to see foreign special effects companies taking the initiative to develop here.

In his impression, some companies over at Haolaiwu are very secretive about their technologies. Cooperating with them is not only expensive, but also difficult to truly participate in their production teams. People like Mike and James There are really few people.

In fact, Mike and James were helpless. The performance of their company in Haolaiwu was so poor that they had to find ways to take over some business elsewhere in order to maintain operations.

Moreover, although their technology is not as good as those of the really large special effects companies in Hao Laiwu, relatively speaking, they are indeed much better than those in many other places. In addition, they have always carried the halo of Hao Laiwu, so, In some overseas places, it is easier for them to make money.

Although their behavior is completely despised in Haolaiwu, and they may even be kicked out of Haolaiwu's film industry ecological chain in the near future, there is no other way. Making money and survival is the most important thing, and they have no other choice. choose.

Chen Feng listened with great interest as Mike, James, Wu Hengjiang, Tian Ming and Fang Cheng discussed some industry insider information about science fiction film production, which involved many secrets from Haolaiwu. Everyone could hear All very interesting.

For example, if a film like "Escape from the Mother Planet" is a film produced locally by Haolaiwu, the related special effects production costs may only be tens of millions, but if this is a work not produced by Haolaiwu, then The same company, the same special effects, the related expenses may be hundreds of millions!

This phenomenon is just a drop in the ocean!
