Rebirth Begins with a Manga Adaptation

In fact, whether it is Yu-Gi-Oh, or Pokémon, their game promotion activities Jingyu started to promote within a few months of the game production.

Before that, it was just a small fight, but after the time entered February, related promotional activities were carried out all over the world. The most impressive thing for fans was the wave of advertisements that were played in major theaters across the country during the Spring Festival schedule when Spirited Away was released.

It can be said that throughout the whole week, as long as people who go to the theater to watch movies during the Spring Festival, they can experience a wave of king-like Hu skills from the trailer of Yu-Gi-Oh. Just a little bit of a wave, let alone Pikachu, the game hasn't been released yet, and its character map is spreading wildly all over the Internet.

At such a time, the Jingyu company's official press release on Spirited Away's box office topping also specially included the game promotion videos of the two games, the purpose of which can be imagined.

Naturally, it is necessary to carry out the bundling propaganda to the end

Spirited Away breaks the box office record of the big week, but anyone who is a little bit interested in film and television will more or less get the news through various channels, and in the process, no matter which media reports The news will definitely mention the content of the two game promotional videos in this announcement.

As a matter of fact, the announcement on the official website of Blue Star Film and Television Culture Company had more than 400,000 hits in less than half an hour after it was sent out, and fans of Jing Yu who learned about the news from various channels are still coming to Blue Star. official website.

First of all, netizens didn't care about some official polite words celebrating Spirited Away's summit at the beginning. They just slid the page to the bottom and looked at the promotional content of the game.

Compared with the previous publicity, the content of Yu-Gi-Oh has more settings, such as the Millennium Artifact, and also mentioned a little bit of the background of the legend of the Pharaoh.

In fact, this part of the content is more attractive to Jing Yu's old fans.

After all, Jing Yu had several works before, because he was lazy, and after weighing the pros and cons, he felt that changing the settings of these works would lose the original taste of the work, so he directly fabricated a virtual world Blue Star in the Dazhou plane. In the process, Jing Yu's fans have also become very interested in the worldview of this fictional world, Blue Star.

Needless to say, King Arthur, King of Heroes, and King of Conquerors, Jing Yu actually mentioned the Egyptian pharaoh again in the Yu-Gi-Oh world.

Those "Blue Star Cultural Archeology Fans" in Dazhou are now in good spirits.

Duelist's dueling method, card group's ever-changing combinations, the origin of dueling cards, combined with Blue Star's culture.

In the ten-minute demonstration of the real machine, through the introduction of the narration, the audience experienced a wave of actual duel process with half understanding.

And the later Pokémon trailers actually made Jingyu fans even more surprised.

Although the two games are big ip works of Jingyu's previous life, it is obvious that Pokémon is far greater than Yu-Gi-Oh. This is also directly reflected in the production costs of the two games. 500 million, but for Pokémon, the direct production budget was 300 million at the beginning of the project, and the budget was added three times later, so far the investment has exceeded 450 million

Games with this kind of investment are also very rare in the game industry of the Great Zhou Plane. Generally, only those big companies will produce games with this kind of investment.

As for the game, spending more money may not make the game more playable, but spending more money will definitely make the game screen, music, and visual effects more enjoyable.

The previous promotional video was a CG produced by a special effects company. Although the response was good, the fans were heartbroken. But this time after the real machine promotional video was exposed.

"Old Thief Company's game department is so stupid? Isn't it only four or five years ago? Have you already made a game of this level?"

"Money can turn ghosts around. A normal game company develops while improving the production level of its employees. The production ability must develop slowly. The old thief obviously doesn't have that kind of patience, and the industry is crazy with money. Digging, digging, the picture quality of this Pokémon game has been greatly improved compared to the Jianxin game released a few months ago."

"On the contrary, Yu-Gi-Oh feels that the picture quality is mediocre!"

"Yu-Gi-Oh feels like a card game. It attracts people by the gameplay, not by the battle. The quality of the game is just right, and the pursuit of realism and beauty is not meaningful."

"To be honest, my heart is itching now. Isn't the scenery of this Pokémon too beautiful? The old thief's imagination is really not black."

"A card battle game, a pet battle game, the old thief really knows how to play."

"But I feel that although these two games have beautiful graphics, they don't reflect the most powerful advantage of the old thief, which is the creativity of the plot!"

"Come on, I didn't know what the plot of the game was until after the game was officially released. What can I see from the promotional video now? When you watch the promotional video of Kenshin, you can see that there will be people like Shi Zhixiong and Tianjian in the plot of the game. Is it a tearjerker plot?"

"But there is one thing to say. Aren't we all paying attention to the fact that Spirited Away has become the number one movie in the film history? Why are everyone discussing two games?"

"Oh, yes."

"Spirited Away is awesome, old thief is awesome."

"I have to go to the old thief's social account to urge him to release the second part of Spirited Away."

"Indeed, if Spirited Away doesn't release the second part, will we be worthy of us?"

On the Internet, in the major game film history forums, the three works of Spirited Away, Pokémon, and Yu-Gi-Oh are full of topics on this day.

Hundreds of media reported relevant content in various ways, and even in the evening national news time, the official station gave a minute to introduce the box office results of Spirited Away and the relationship between Jing Yu, the creator. information.

In this wave, Spirited Away and Jing Yu's Blue Star Film and Television Culture Company had a full lineup.

In the evening, everyone in the employee group of Jingyu Company became excited, and Jingyu also gave out millions of red envelopes in the group, which was a little bit of fun before the official celebration banquet.

After zero o'clock passed, Jing Yu took his attention away from the news in front of him.

"What? Ready to rest?" Yu Youqing brought Jing Yu a cup of coffee.

"It's almost there." Jing Yu responded.

"Looking at you like this, are you still worried that the company's business will not go well?" Yu Youqing asked.

In fact, Jing Yu has not created any new works in the company since the Chinese New Year this year, not even a new work plan for movies, games, or TV series.

But more than 1,000 people in the whole company have to eat, it is impossible for Jing Yu to pay them empty wages, so...

Although Jing Yu has no new works to release, there are still a few new works made by the employees of Blue Star Film and Television Culture Company.

In terms of TV dramas, there are two romance-themed dramas with an investment of more than 50 million yuan to be broadcast in the summer season. In terms of movies, Jin Jinyu has signed the documents for half a month, and has approved a martial arts movie and a sci-fi romance movie. , and the establishment of a crime-themed movie are not the kind of low-cost movies. The total investment of the three movies still exceeds 250 million.

As for games, there are not so many new works. Jing Yu was too busy with the adaptation of previous film and television dramas, so naturally he has no interest in making original games.

However, the initial D game that has been approved for production will be released early next year, and the new games of Ultraman and Evangelion will also be launched.

Although Jing Yu has no new works to release, the company does have quite a few new projects.

only.

"As you said, the company basically relied on my works to develop until now, and now I have almost invested seven or eight hundred million in the following potential projects. No tears." Jing Yu said with a wry smile.

Over the years, Jingyu Company has been engaged in the production of original works by its employees, but basically the response has been mediocre.

"You're going to get to this point after all. Have you ever seen a boss worth tens of billions who works alone to support thousands of people in the company? Everyone in the company works together to support the boss. You were young in the past ten years. You can resist working sixteen hours a day, and now you still want to do this?" Yu Youqing said softly while sitting beside Jing Yu.

"I also understand the truth. But."

"Don't just say what you said to me, after the release of Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh, you will focus on your life, filming and creation, but you will never forget to eat and sleep like before." Yu Youqing looked at the scene Yu glanced.

"I don't want to be like this after I get married to you, and I don't see you coming back from the company until midnight every night."

"That's for sure, do you think I'm a natural workaholic? Didn't I happen to encounter this Internet development opportunity a few years ago, and I was afraid of missing the opportunity to be so productive. Now that the company has stabilized, if you ask me to work like that, I won't Yes." Jing Yu shook his head, expelling some irritability in his heart, and picked up the coffee on the table.

"Okay, here's a toast to Spirited Away's box office topping the big week."

"Cheers and coffee?" Yu Youqing's fair face revealed a strange expression.

"Otherwise what would you drink?"

"Wait for me." Yu Youqing ran out of the house, brought in a bottle of red wine after a while, and poured a big glass full for her and Jing Yu.

"Come on, the two of us are the only ones doing this. Aren't you afraid you won't have enough drinks for the celebration banquet tomorrow?" Jing Yu said hastily.

"The wine has already been opened, if you don't drink it, it should be sour. Don't waste it." A smile appeared on Yu Youqing's face.

Jing Yu let out a long breath, didn't say much, and didn't make any small drink flirtations, just stewed it in one gulp, and when Yu Youqing also drank, he hugged her by the waist and walked to the room.

Overnight.

During the daytime of the next day, the news about Spirited Away's box office peaking in the major media in Dazhou was still endless.

At the celebration banquet held by Jingyu Company in a manor, even the media came to interview and visit in the evening.

As for the celebration banquets for these projects of Jingyu Company?

In fact, everyone in the industry understands that Jing Yu is a real person, and project bonuses like to be distributed directly in this kind of activities.

For the employees of Jingyu Company, such an event as a celebration banquet is to eat, drink, have fun, and then go home with money packed.

After all, it is the film with the highest box office record since the establishment of the company. Excluding production costs, publicity, ticket subsidies and other expenses, Spirited Away alone has a box office profit of at least over 1.5 billion and will soon be in Qingyun Sipin, Eggplant Websites such as videos pay to broadcast, and it will definitely be a huge profit at that time.

As the highest-grossing work in the film history of the Great Week, there is still a lot of room for its follow-up income, so Jing Yu is very generous here.

For the members of Spirited Away's film project team, everyone's minimum bonus is at least one year's salary income, and the higher the rank, the higher the bonus.

Of course, directors and producers have the opportunity to receive income dividends ranging from one-thousandth to three-thousandths of the income of the first year of the production of the work. After all, they are largely tool people, and their main job is to complete Jing Yu’s work. The shooting requirements of the formulated film, so the dividends and so on are definitely not as good as those well-known directors and producers.

But even if it is a few thousandths of dividends, there are millions of benefits.

Naturally, they also laughed from ear to ear at the celebration banquet.

As the boss of the company, Jing Yu had the right not to drink at such meetings, but he still didn't resist too much in order to create an image of an approachable boss. In the end, he got drunk and was taken home by Yu Youqing.

On the second day of Spirited Away's celebration banquet, it also became popular in major film and television forums in the content of the reports of major media in Dazhou.

Jing Yu's fans were sincerely happy for this work, while Jing Yu's colleagues focused on the total amount of bonuses that Jing Yu gave out at this celebration banquet.

"Envy, envy, hate! They are all from the film and television industry, and the employees of Blue Star are so cool."

"They have more than 1,000 employees, and the bonus for holding a celebration banquet is about the same as our company's annual profit. They are really more popular than others."

"We are the same, regardless of the fact that the company has more than 2,000 employees, and its annual profit is less than 100 million. Some projects make money, and some projects are in debt. Unlike Blue Star Company, Nima has never lost money. There are four or five celebration parties a year. "

"I used to have the opportunity to go in, but idiot, if I want to go now, I'm not qualified. The new employees they recruit now are all big names in the industry, and ordinary senior people have looked down on them."

"To be honest, it's not too much to say that Blue Star Film and Television is the number one film and television company in the big week."

"In terms of scale, there are more than 1,000 people, and it is still a company with more than 1,000 people in the three departments of games, movies, and TV dramas. After that, it will be the first."

"In the past, several established film and television companies are now gradually surpassed by Bluestar in terms of industry influence. As for the size of the employees, it is actually good. Jing Yu wants to expand, so it is not a big problem to expand the number of employees in the company several times in half a year. The difference It's just whether their company can have so much profitable business to support these employees."

"Indeed, those established companies don't care about three or four thousand employees. They are large-scale and produce dozens of film and television dramas a year. Sixty to seventy percent of them lose money. The company's annual profit is not as good as Jing Yu's half. The revenue of Spirited Away is useless depending on the scale, but depends on the influence and strength of the company."

"What needs to be discussed about this kind of question? If you can ask this question, you actually have the answer in your heart. Now, you still have the opportunity to discuss whether Bluestar Film and Television Culture Company is the number one in the industry. But half a year later, it is estimated that this will be the case in a year. If a film and television company that has produced the highest-rated TV series in history and the highest-grossing movie in history is not the number one in the industry, then I really can’t think of any company that can overwhelm it.”

"."

"."

"Right."

Spirited Away hit the top of the box office, and the biggest impact on the people in the industry is the change in their attitude towards Blue Star Film and Television.

In the past, some people despised Jing Yu because of the time when the company was established, and Jing Yu was young and young. Now, basically everyone in the industry will look down on Jing Yu and this company.

Everyone generally thinks that Blue Star Film and Television Culture is just a new company, even if it is powerful, it is limited. Achievements in works, reaching the top position in the film and television industry.
