Chapter 430: No Connection Between Joy and Sorrow
Actually have a problem with inspiration?
Yang Ruoqian immediately became interested - I dare not say anything else, but in terms of inspiration, he is still very confident.
If it weren't for the endless inspiration and creativity, Yang Ruoqian would have resigned himself to his fate by now. Why would he still be running around like he is now?
Seeing that he had room to use his imagination, Yang Ruoqian immediately stepped forward and asked, "What's going on?"
Guo Fanming didn't say any secret words and said straightforwardly: "Mr. Yang, the entire script is ready to be completed, but we still have a small difference in the opening point."
With that said, Guo Fan took two documents from the table and introduced: "This is..."
Yang Ruoqian didn't look at the document at all. Without even thinking, he blurted out: "Look cool!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole room was silent for a few seconds. Everyone, including the original author, could not wrap their heads around it.
Shang Qianyu, who was squatting aside to watch the show, nodded in agreement: "Yes, being handsome is the most important thing!"
Others expressed doubts at the same time: "Huh?"
After the first part of "Wandering Blue Star" became a hit, everyone's expectation for related works is to be hard-core and have as much imagination as possible.
So everyone is trying their best to rely on this aspect when designing the plot.
As long as the majestic scenes and atmosphere in the first movie can be reproduced, there will be no worries about the emotional and special effects parties paying for it.
Coupled with the publicity from Idiom Media and the reputation of Kuaiguang Group, Guo Fan is indeed confident that this movie will guarantee a minimum of 1 billion.
but……
What does it mean to start acting cool as soon as you come up?
Guo Fan made some mental preparations and asked, "Mr. Yang, what do you mean by being cool?"
Yang Ruoqian explained: "Let's create a big scene at the beginning, such as a battlefield, or a large area of ruins, and then...well, magically modify our motherland's latest fighter jet into a vertical take-off and landing version, so that it can fly on the battlefield. "
After speaking, Yang Ruoqian was very satisfied with his creativity this time.
Although he is not a military fan, he is not completely ignorant of weapons and equipment. He knows that many things only look cool but have very limited practical effects.
Moreover, the theme of the movie is hard-core science fiction. All mankind is working hard to push the earth out of the solar system. It has appeared so long ago, and it also has something that is not useful. How many dramas should the audience have?
In order to prevent the director and actors from using their amazing plot capabilities and acting skills to dampen the movie's reputation, he thoughtfully placed this scene directly at the beginning of the movie!
Know who your movie’s audience is, and then offend them severely.
"..."
Guo Fan ignored Shang Qianyu, who didn't understand anything. He only nodded in agreement and asked carefully: "Yang, Mr. Yang, are you sure the entry point of the movie should be set to this?"
"Perhaps we can change to equipment with a more futuristic feel? It feels like what you are talking about is a bit... a little behind the times?"
"No need." Yang Ruoqian waved his hand, "What we want is this flashy feeling. Things that are too futuristic are purely based on imagination. There are not many anchors in reality, and the audience will only think that the special effects are very good. "
"But if the equipment that already exists in reality is modified by magic, it won't feel that way at all."
"What I want is this vague sense of familiarity."
Even though he has not participated in the specific content design of film and television dramas for a long time, Mr. Yang's ability to bullshit has not weakened at all.
In the face of money, people can always unleash unimaginable potential.
Listening to Yang Ruoqian's nonsense, Guo Fan subconsciously wanted to use his professional knowledge to refute, but when the words reached his mouth, he swallowed them again.
One of the laws of Kuaiguang Group is that the more outrageous what Mr. Yang says, the more it must be adopted.
The decision seems outrageous because Mr. Yang has broad knowledge, good vision, and many things to consider. It was only made after comprehensive consideration of multiple conditions and factors.
Although Guo Fan doesn't know what the comprehensive factors are or what makes the beginning of a movie look like this.
But since it is the experience summed up by predecessors, it is not wrong to listen to it.
Guo Fan immediately gave up thinking and said, "Okay, Mr. Yang, then I will change the plot."
After talking about what he started with, Guo Fan continued: "Mr. Yang, the recruitment matter for the school you designated has almost been resolved. Do you need to see the list of recruited students?"
After all, this "winter recruitment" incident was decided by Yang Ruoqian himself. Now that the matter has basically settled, it makes sense for him to have the final say.
"No need." Yang Ruoqian waved his hand, "If you think there is a talent that can be made during the filming process, don't tell me. What resources do you think should be used to train him in the future? Let's talk to the operations of the group. Just take it with you and the group will pay for it. Director Guo, don’t be polite. We’ve cooperated so many times and the matter is settled.”
Yang Ruoqian's calculation is very clear - based on his understanding of the crew, if Guo Fan really encounters any good prospects, he will definitely tell the group and let the group sign the contract.
Nowadays, the group has many business projects. For things like signing contracts with artists, as long as they are not above the A-list stars and involve huge sums of money, the documents will not be placed on Yang Ruoqian's desk.
A newcomer who can be praised unanimously by Guo Fan and the entire crew has undoubtedly huge potential, and Kueyuang Group will undoubtedly not welcome it.
But such a good seedling, he himself did nothing wrong, so cruelly rejected the students' hard-earned dreams, which was not very kind.
Now Yang Ruoqian took the lead and let the outstanding college students follow Guo Fan, and let Guo Fan get resources from the group at will...
This not only does not allow college students to sign contracts with the group to make money, but also allows them to waste the group's resources as a matter of course, without causing a waste of talent.
Only Mr. Yang can do so well.
Guo Fan's face suddenly became serious: "Mr. Yang, don't worry about this."
As an old director, it only took him a second to analyze the meaning behind Yang Ruoqian's words.
Mr. Yang meant that if you meet a good seedling, you must tie it up as soon as possible and let them sign a contract with Kuiguang Group!
For this reason, Kuiguang Group can throw a lot of resources, and Guo Fan will also be part of these resources.
Mr. Yang really... cherishes talents.
For talents, he is really willing to devote a lot of resources to cultivate them.
As a director and collaborator, Guo Fan is both moved and admired.
For the signing of some new people, Mr. Yang can actually go to this extent!
Seeing Guo Fan's face showing a clear look, and there was nothing else, Yang Ruoqian also nodded: "That's it?"
Guo Fan came back to his senses, nodded, and stood up: "Let's do this for now, Mr. Yang, take care, I will contact you if there is anything else."
After a few pleasantries, Yang Ruoqian took Chang Zhiqing away from the crew.
Shang Qianyu, who had been squatting in the corner watching the show, also wanted to leave, but unfortunately, before she took two steps, she was stopped by Guo Fan and asked to continue to work part-time as a coolie and run errands on the set.
"Alas, this silly child." Chang Zhiqing sighed again.
When the two left, they suddenly saw a dozen young men and women who were exhausted and had newly obtained work certificates hanging around their necks queuing up at the entrance of the set to check their identities.
These are the students who have successfully passed the "winter recruitment", right?
Yang Ruoqian took a quick look and found a familiar girl among them.
It seems that the last few bottles of milk tea I distributed last time just happened to be distributed to her?
It was fate that the crew finally found her after all these twists and turns.
Those students obviously also found Yang Ruoqian, and they immediately straightened their bodies and greeted him.
"Boss Yang!"
"Good afternoon, Boss Yang!"
"..."
Last time on the campus playground, after all, the place was too big and there were too many people, so Yang Ruoqian left in a hurry, and not everyone saw him.
Yang Ruoqian smiled and nodded, got in the car and left, and returned to the company.
After playing, there are always some work matters to deal with.
The secretary was waiting in the office early, she bent slightly and sorted out the slightly scattered documents on the desk.
Hearing the sound of the door opening behind him, Qi Mu immediately turned around and said with a smile: "Boss Yang, you are back? Are you still in the mood to listen to my work report?"
Alas, after getting familiar with each other, even the butler has learned to joke.
Yang Ruoqian waved his hand, signaling her to pick out the key points, and also joked: "You handle so much work every day, and you seem to be in good spirits?"
Qi Mu sat down and smiled: "Boss Yang, no one can resist the countless good news that comes every day. No matter how much good news there is, you won't feel tired."
This is why the secretary has such a heavy workload every day, but she is still energetic and motivated.
Just like no one will dislike having too much money, if you hear big wins and extra big wins every day, no one will feel tired.
"It seems to be the same." Yang Ruoqian turned on the computer and said woodenly, "Then what good news does the company have recently?"
Qi Mu immediately returned to work: "Our group's IP theme park has officially opened. Because there are no limited edition souvenirs for sale, the ticket orders are slightly less, but these orders are still far more than the amusement park's capacity."
Kuiguang Theme Park does not sell as many tickets as there are people who buy tickets.
In order to ensure the experience of every tourist, to prevent people from queuing half the time when entering the amusement park, and to prevent tourists from queuing for an hour to eat a meal, the daily capacity is limited.
Most people's orders are failed.
So Qi Mu said that a small drop in orders has no effect at all.
It's nothing more than the difference between overflowing 1000% and overflowing 900%.
Yang Ruoqian sighed and said, "What do you think?"
Qi Mu said, "If you are willing to pay cash flow and continue to invest heavily in IP, you can choose a province with market potential and try to build a new theme park."
Looking at the terrifying number of customers from all over the country, even if they have to come from thousands of miles away, reason tells Yang Ruoqian that Qi Mu's decision cannot be made.
He smiled dryly and said, "Just proceed step by step. It's not needed for the time being... Speaking of IP, isn't Mag operating overseas IP? Is there any news from overseas now?"
Qi Mu looked at Yang Ruoqian a little strangely, but still said responsibly: "After the deserted island survival variety show ended, Mag immediately invited an engineering team to be responsible for the reconstruction of the island. The progress is still in the early stages."
Strange, when President Yang went to the variety show, I heard that he and Mag shared a helicopter and held a meeting on it for half a day...
Why do you have to ask such a basic thing?
Didn't Mag tell President Yang at that time?
Yang Ruoqian, who only cared about using Mag as a money-shredding machine, nodded and asked expectantly: "What about the publicity work? Has the progress been hindered? Do we need to invest more to strengthen the publicity?"
From your tone, Mr. Yang, why do you seem to hope that the overseas IP publicity will be hindered?
Qi Mu coughed lightly and continued, "Mr. Yang, the overall promotion progress of the IP overseas is very smooth."
Yang Ruoqian heard the implication of the secretary's words and asked, "The overall promotion progress is smooth, what about the details?"
"Well... Mr. Yang, the promotion progress of our IP in Asia, especially in East Asia and Southeast Asia, is unexpectedly smooth, and the trend of being deeply rooted in the hearts of the people is no worse than the traditional "Kung Fu" in the past."
"As long as we can maintain this trend, we can completely integrate into the market and even sell peripherals without any problems."
"Especially in some markets where the entertainment industry is not so mature and the cultural identity is stronger, the IP creation progress is the fastest."
"The progress in the European and American markets is slightly slower, but this is within everyone's expectations. After all, so many IPs have taken many years and a lot of money to operate to have the current influence, and we can't rush it. As long as the market over there does not show obvious indifference, it is actually successful."
Not only did it not show indifference, it even had a certain degree of acceptance trend.
But after all, it is just a trend, just data analysis on paper, Qi Mu still did not tell Yang Ruoqian this irresponsible data.
The data after the initial stage of the entire project is completed and the stage summary is completed is qualified to be placed on the president's desk.
Sure enough, there is good news everywhere... No wonder the secretary is so happy at work.
But fortunately, just as Qi Mu said, IP creation is a long process. As long as there is no accident, this sword of Damocles will not fall for a long time.
Yang Ruoqian sighed: "What about the variety show?"
During this busy period, "Almighty Trainee" is finally coming to an end.
Soon, it will be the last episode of "Almighty Trainee".
It is also the episode that announces the final winner.
Qi Mu replied: "The final results have been counted, just wait for the last episode to be announced, and the whole variety show will end successfully."
