Rebirth Begins with a Manga Adaptation

When it came to June, not only the big week, but also game distribution platforms, forums, and communities in many regions abroad, there were waves of advertisements for Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokémon.

Of course, for some old game players, no matter how well you advertise, they will not easily fall into the pit. Everything will only be decided after the results of the player evaluation after the work is launched before deciding whether to buy it.

However, the games produced by Jingyu's Blue Star Film and Television Culture Company are indeed eye-catching to many gamers at home and abroad.

Jing Yu is just an experienced game player rather than a game producer, but the subtle gameplay and rhythm differences brought over from the Dazhou plane in his previous life are actually the reasons why Jing Yu's previous game works have been well received.

Routine is an innovation when it first appeared, and it is called a routine when it is used badly. The settings and gameplay that many players in the game world of Jing Yu's previous life were about to vomit, are completely different in the eyes of Dazhou players.

This can actually be reflected in the game promotional videos of Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokémon.

This type of game also exists in the Dazhou plane, and the players are not surprised, but the innovations in the details in the trailer are what surprise them.

The picture quality of the game is top-notch, the plot of the game is what Jing Yu is good at, and the gameplay also looks creative. In addition, the achievements of Jing Yu’s Blue Star Film and Television Culture Company’s previous supplementary works have also given gamers a lot of confidence in the two new games. A certain amount of confidence.

The direct result of this is that

Among the game player groups at home and abroad, many people now go to the official website of Bluestar Film and Television Culture almost every day to observe the latest trends of the two game works.

Foreign game media also began to report positively on the two upcoming games.

August and September are not big months for game releases in the big week, and there are no heavyweight game releases in the two months, so in terms of time, Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokémon actually have an advantage. Not to mention these two works, the production cost of each is more than several hundred million, and the production staff that Jing Yu has dug into the company from home and abroad, a proper large-scale production game team.

Jing Yu started to return to the company at the end of June after being salty fish for two consecutive months. He no longer handed over the work to other people. business.

Jing Yu also actively participated in the company's promotion of the two games. Not only did they make a sudden appearance at major domestic game exhibitions, but they also held fan meetings very frequently in China, inviting the media to conduct hype reports, although Jing Yu did not The film and television dramas that he created or participated in were released, but in fact, for Jing Yu's fans, he can see information about him on various channels.

"I said it's already mid-June, why hasn't there been any news about the old thief! He doesn't want pigeons for the autumn file, does he?"

"It looks like this. This guy, although he doesn't want to think about it, but I feel a little bit inclined to be a salty fish when he becomes famous."

"?"

"It seems true. Since the end of Attack on Titan, this guy hasn't been serious about creating works. Although Chunwu and Bingguo are good-looking, they are too short. Although Spirited Away will be released in February, that is also It took more than half a year to shoot the work that was completed last year. This guy really didn't want to make a new one!"

"I'm telling the truth to him, I really don't have the motivation to fight on the front line when I'm so rich. Isn't it better to enjoy life with money?"

"How can the old thief do this? There are 2,000 people in his company, what should his employees do if he is a salted fish?"

"Isn't that the company produced three dramas this season? And the ratings are not bad. They all squeezed into the top ten of the season, but they didn't maintain the old thief's previous No. 1 pick."

"Is the old thief who doesn't want to take the first place the old thief we know?"

"Damn it, the old thief is now obsessed with game production, don't forget this! His main business is film and television dramas."

"But there is one thing to say, the old thief's investment in the two games this time is the largest since he started his business. Almost 400 million yuan has been invested in the production and promotion of Yu-Gi-Oh. In addition to the production costs of Pokémon , and now it has spent 200 million publicity fees to advertise everywhere in the world, and I don’t know how much publicity paper money will be spent on it. To be honest, the old thief’s attitude towards these two games is indeed much higher than that of film and television works .”

"But I hope that the old thief will create more film and television works, and stop making games! A TV series can be shot in a few months, a movie can be arranged in a year, and a game may not be able to make a good work in two years. The old thief is obsessed In the game, how many games can be produced in this lifetime?"

"Who knows? Anyway, the old thief has no new work plans for more than half a year. You can know his movements after the release of Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh. If there are still no new film and television works in the follow-up, it may be like before. Gone are the days of old thief and new show."

At the end of June, Jing Yu's company still hasn't released any news about Jing Yu's new work.

The autumn file is still aired by the company’s two self-produced TV series. The ratings are about the same as last quarter, with fluctuations of 6%. There is not much difference in the level of self-produced dramas of the six major TV stations.

Of course, July has entered the summer vacation, which is also an important period for the film industry in Dazhou. Jingyu Company also has a medium-cost action film with an investment of 90 million yuan released this quarter.

After all, under the banner of Blue Star Film and Television Culture Company, the publicity specially emphasized that this is an excellent movie that Jing Yu can't help but praise after watching it. Anyway, any work of Blue Star Film and Television Culture Company now has to include Jing Yu in the publicity. Words, natural advertising slogans!

In fact, after its launch, it can’t be said that there were many bad reviews. It can only be said that the response was mediocre. The box office was 46 million on the first day of its launch, and the total box office was 130 million in one week.

This kind of performance is quite satisfactory. Compared with its investment, it can only be said that it is similar to the request made by Jingyu in the previous meeting. Losing money is not enough to make money.

Jing Yu carefully read the company's financial report.

In the past two quarters without its new works, the company's net profit has dropped by more than half, and about 70% to 80% of the remaining half of the profit is the passive copyright income of Jing Yu's previous works.

Excluding all the elemental works related to Jing Yu, I only counted the income of the company's employees' self-made movies and TV series.

After deducting various costs and taxes, the income in a quarter is about 100 million yuan.

"En." Jing Yu glanced at the report several times, and after a long time, let out a long breath, and said to himself.

"It's okay if you don't lose money."

In fact, this is the normal profit income of a film and television industry company. A large company that produces dozens of works a year must have both losses and profits. There are not many in the industry.

It’s just that Jing Yu is used to relying on a popular TV series, such as Gundam, Giant, or top movies, Spirited Away, Laputa, Your Name.

As long as one such work is released and broadcasted this quarter, the company may make a quarterly profit of more than one billion yuan.

Otherwise, Jingyu Company would not have been established for a few years, and its total assets would exceed tens of billions. This has not counted the copyright value of those works.

But Jing Yu has only been salted for two quarters, seeing the pitiful income in the company's account, he feels that there is no fluctuation in his heart.

Let him spend tens of millions or hundreds of millions in his life. Except for gambling, he really doesn't know how to spend it, but if you say that he only makes this little money in a quarter now, he really doesn't feel much.

"This is life!" Jing Yu laughed.

He also understands that not only he himself feels that the company's earnings in the previous two quarters are low, but the company's financial staff who are used to the company's monthly turnover breaking ten figures may also feel that the company's current financial situation is stretched.

For almost two quarters, he didn't take much care of the creation of the company's business works, and Jing Yu could tell.

There is still a long way to go for him to get back on his feet. In the past two seasons, it was because he still has a lot of power in the industry and many fans love his house and black, so he bought works produced by Blue Star Film and Television Culture Company.

After a long time, the audience will only look at the quality of the work after all.

Jing Yu sat on his office chair and thought for a while.

Now at the end of June, next month's work will focus on the promotion of Yu-Gi-Oh, August will be the release of Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokémon, September will be the global release of Pokémon, and I have already set a wedding date with Yu Youqing in October.

In terms of time, Jing Yu didn't have much time and energy to create new works throughout the second half of this year.

But on the one hand, after resting for a few months, he felt too busy and panicked; on the other hand,

There is no new work for a long time, and the loss of fan popularity will become more and more serious. Jing Yu is still the company's golden signboard and the only signboard.

Before his company has cultivated a few geniuses like Akira Toriyama and Yoshihiro Togashi in his previous life, he still has to carry the banner of the company.

"In that case." Jing Yu thought for a while, then smiled wryly.

It can only be said that lying flat is not so easy

The six major TV stations have competed with Jing Yu for so many years, but they have not found a matching talent in the industry. The level of those recruited by Jing Yu Company spontaneously will not be significantly different from the talent pool of the six major TV stations. Although the industry's top

But the fact is that the so-called top in the film and television industry of Dazhou is the fate of being crushed by Jing Yu.

If Jing Yu wants to continue to be a salty fish, it is not impossible. Anyway, let his subordinates freely develop their creations. The profit income of a quarter of more than 100 million yuan, a year of several hundred million yuan, plus the copyright income of previous works, Blue Star Film and Television Company The annual total profit of more than one billion yuan is still stable.

But Jing Yu also understands that this situation cannot last for a long time. The development of a company is like sailing against the current. If it does not advance, it will retreat. It will not last a few years if it stays in place. If it stays in the comfort zone for too long, it will be eliminated by the world in a few years

In the few years since the company was established, Jing Yu has spent almost 700 to 800 million yuan to support his subordinates in creating self-made new works, but there is not a single blockbuster work, and Jing Yu can only accept this fact. He also has to consider creating some new works. , take a look at the performance of the company.

This year, we don't plan to make any big moves. The game department has something to do just by gamifying his previous works.

In terms of movies, the high-grossing works of Jing Yu Company are basically a model, with Jing Yu starring and Jing Yu writing the script. If the cast is replaced, the box office may be greatly affected. He doesn't have much time to spend on it in the second half of the year, and he doesn't plan to create film works either.

As for TV shows.

He thought for a long time in the office, and then called his assistant

"Bring me my old creative tools."

"Eh?" Hearing this, Jing Yu's pretty assistant, the pupils under the black frame froze for a moment, and then there was a flash of surprise.

With an excited expression, he ran to the next room, and sent Jing Yu's script creation and character design drawing tools to Jing Yu's office at a fast speed.

In fact, now that Jing Yu is now, his fan value accumulation has reached a very terrifying level, and those works he was familiar with in his previous life have the ability to exchange them in the panel.

The difference is only based on his current status in the industry. If he doesn't want to smash his signboard, the works he puts out must not be too casual.

If all kinds of works are divided into grades, for example, Spirited Away is assigned an S grade, and Chunwu and Bingguo are assigned an A grade, then the quality of the works that Jing Yu presents for the first time cannot be inferior to those of Chunwu.

Otherwise, if you take it out and make it into a work, you are smashing your own brand.

And these, to a large extent, limited his choice of new works

For example, Mrs. Spicy is a classic, but the works are full of vulgar jokes and violent scenes. The ratings are definitely not bad, but it will have a certain impact on Jingyu's reputation.

And excluding these works, there are actually not too many works that Jing Yu can immediately think of.

But there are still two preliminary ideas

One is Naoki Hansawa, who had the highest ratings in Japanese TV dramas in Jingyu's previous life.

One is his personal favorite animation work, the black notebook.

Jing Yu didn’t mention the former before, because the social environment of the Japanese island in his previous life was quite different from that of Dazhou. Although Dazhou was also suppressed by social competition as a whole, it was not as oppressive as the workplace that drove people crazy in Naoki Hansawa. The environment is still far inferior, if it is shot rashly, the audience of the big week may be confused.

How can the workplace in our reality be so dark?

It’s just that Jingyu’s fans are familiar with the virtual world Blue Star and Japan in Jingyu’s works in the past. Then these are easy to handle, and there is no need to change anything, just continue to virtualize the background of the world At most, it is the bank workplace in the play, personnel planning, and job levels are changed as much as possible to suit Da Zhou's situation, so that the audience can feel the depressive workplace environment that appears in the virtual world drama, and there will be no leverage to compete with Da Zhou's local national conditions linked.

As for the black notebook.

In Jing Yu's mind, I think it is an absolute masterpiece. I wanted to turn it into a film and television many times before, but I didn't think it was suitable. Now it happens that these works are only filmed this year, and I don't plan to broadcast them. There is still half a year left. Go to a special effects company to make special effects images of Rick and other gods of death

Taking out these two works can be regarded as Jing Yu's fan compensation for not having any new TV series for a year.

Jing Yu is now getting out the script first, and then setting up a project to prepare for shooting. But those are mainly done by his subordinates.

But now, Jing Yu's work focus is still on the two upcoming games.

The author does not dare to describe too much about a work like the black pen, for fear that the book will be gg. Anyway, the book has reached the current later stage, just like the surface, just like Chunwu, try to take it as far as possible. It's just purple.
