Chapter 1262 competition is good
"Boss, I actually understand," Chen Qing nodded and said, "But, just last year, Daenerys Entertainment, the top ten Korean movies, accounted for three. I don't think it's necessary to activate the Korean market too early?"
"I will give you the cultural country plan if it is successfully implemented in South Korea next year, and the film censorship system will turn to a hierarchical system, and there is also the 146-day quota system last year. Even without us, the Korean film market will be reactivated. Therefore, according to a Chinese idiom, this is our last chance to occupy the nest."
Speaking of the magpie's nest, Simon changed his Chinese language. A confused little girl in her arms raised her face and looked at her again, and then her forehead was lit by Simon's chin again.
The girl smiled and shrank her head again.
After Simon's explanation, Chen Qing had no objection and just said, "But, boss, we are not very familiar with South Korea. What type of bombshell should we make? You can't do Korean costume martial arts like "Heroes"?"
"Of course not."
Simon remembered the box office champion "Life and Death Change" in South Korea in 1999. Recently, he read the script sent by Chen Qing and saw a few familiar names. Unfortunately, there were no Kang Digui, which was probably because of his big butterfly.
In addition, it may also be the influence of language and writing.
Just like the two familiar Korean filmmakers Simon discovered, one is the famous Bong Joon-ho, and the other is Hong Sang-soo, a famous Korean art film director. The reason why they recognize the two is not because of their names. The Korean translation into English is so genius that they recognize who and who they are. Simon confirmed the two because he saw the names of the two scripts.
Bong Joon-ho's "Kidnap the Dog at the Door" and Hong Sang-soo's "The Day When the Pig Fells in the Well" happen to be films that Simon has watched, and they are also feature debuts by the two directors.
These two projects were not suffocated, and Simon was neither surprised nor surprised.
Unlike Kang Di-gyu's standard Hollywood template "Life and Death Transformation", Bong Hong and his two small projects are obviously both ideas that have been brewing for a long time. For example, "Parasite" that later made Bong Joon-ho the Oscars was the idea that the other party had when he was a tutor during school decades ago. There is also Hong Shangxiu's "The Day when the Pig Fells in the Well", which only looks at the name, which is the result of careful consideration. It should also be brewing for many years. Hong Shangxiu became famous with this movie, and the subsequent films did not have such a clear and charming name.
After thinking a little, Simon quickly continued and said to Chen Qing: "In Hollywood, Harrison Ford and Sean Connery once starred in a trilogy of pursuit of the US-Soviet battle, "Hunting Red October", "Patriot Game" and "Red Tide Storm". You can use this as a template. Now, take a test, what do you think of?"
Chen Qing was in a bright mind and immediately said: "The US-Soviet battle for hegemony must be the confrontation between South Korea and North Korea?"
"Smart," Simon took a photo of the girl in his arms. The little girl meowed in cooperation and continued: "The box office of the pursuit trilogy is very good, because the end of the Cold War is not long, and audiences in North America and Europe are easy to resonate. This is the key. Choosing the confrontation between South Korea and North Korea as the background and creating a similar project can first resonate with Korean audiences, so as to ensure the success rate to the greatest extent."
Chen Qing listened carefully, occasionally wrote a few words on the memo in front of her. After Simon finished speaking, she asked: "Boss, what about the specific plot, can you give me some ideas?"
"I have just said that it is similar to the pursuit trilogy, spy themes, hunting and anti-hunting. Let's refer to some real events in the history of the South Korean-North Korea confrontation, such as the attack on the Blue House. Given the differences between South Korea and North Korea and the United States and the Soviet Union, it can be set to be the male and female protagonists as agents of the South Korean security department and the other is a female spy from North Korea. The drama tension suddenly came, and some questions about human nature were added, and more importantly, explosions, gunfights, car chases, and so on. Finally, it was integrated with Hollywood templates. A bombshell that resonated with the Koreans but did not lack large scenes was released."
Simon has watched "The Life and Death Transformation", to put it bluntly, just like Jiang Digui's later "Tai Chi Flag Flying" which referenced "Saving Private Ryan", they are both standard Hollywood templates, so they are too lazy to say it too detailed.
However, just this simple outline, Chen Qing has grasped the key.
The hero and heroine who love each other, the Hollywood-style scenes, the resonance background of the confrontation between South Korea and North Korea... Such a project is easy to attract phenomenal attention in South Korea as long as it is not too bad. After all, South Korea has not had an influential big-scale production movie in many years.
After Simon finished speaking, Chen Qing once again showed a sincere admiration expression: "Boss, you are so awesome."
"Well, my praise for you earthlings is already numb."
Chen Qing smiled: "Boss, I'll find someone to write the scripts as soon as possible according to your ideas. By the way, do the boss have selected those scripts?"
Simon nodded, skillfully picked it from the computer, and sent an email to Chen Qing.
Chen Qing, who was there, opened the email and browsed roughly, and obviously opened her mouth slightly unexpectedly: "Boss, Qi Du, are there so many?"
"Including the bombshell we just discussed, we will be prepared based on a budget of 10 million US dollars. In addition, you can add two more to make up ten."
Chen Qing nodded, and then felt a little pitiful again: "Boss, you are not so generous in China."
Simon said: "China is just a fun ticket, and South Korea is doing it as a business and wants to make money."
This is the truth.
Of course, there is still some things I haven't said.
I just talked about that with the change of the environment, South Korea's local film industry will soon recover and explode. Therefore, this is the last opportunity for the Westeros system to occupy the nest. Moreover, compared with China where Simon is as restrained as possible, South Korea does not need to have too many concerns at all.
You can let go of your hands.
The same thing is true, for Korea, Simon's role is the conqueror.
Simon didn't say much, but Chen Qing on the other side showed a little expression and didn't say much. She looked at Simon's email again, and decided a little bit, and quickly said: "Boss, you really spoiled Tae-hee. She only occupied four of the seven projects, "Kidnap the Dog at the Door", "The Day when the Pig fell into the Well", "Rose Red Lotus", "The Strange Talk of the Girls", and the last two are horror movies, which I think are good. The first two... Boss, I actually think it's average, even if you take the winning route, there shouldn't be a good result."
Simon didn't explain too much about this.
In fact, he was a little surprised. Why did the four scripts he had in his memory have in the project sent by Cheng Tae-hee?
The first two projects are worth investing only by looking at the subsequent achievements of the main creators. As for box office, it doesn’t matter, after all, the budget is only about 500,000 US dollars. The last two are famous, "Rose Red Lotus", adapted from the classical weird talk book "Rose Red Lotus", which was once one of the most popular horror films in Korea.
As for "The Strange Tale of the Girls", it is a long-term series that lasts for 20 years. This only shows the potential of the project.
Simon did not pay attention to the specific situation, but it was not surprising that Sung Tae-hee was able to select these projects.
With Daenerys Entertainment, the great name, can be recommended to Cheng Tae-hee's script or filmmaker, either with connections or with potential, it will not be too bad.
Moreover, Cheng Tae-hee was able to receive much more script delivery than other craftsmen. After filtering it out and then sending it to Simon, Simon directly searched for the map based on his memory and easily selected four projects that had been impressed.
Let’s talk about the other three of the seven scripts, one comedy, one costume, and one NC-17. This time it is no longer a movie in memory.
Overall, the types are very uniform.
After all, even if the scale of movies in South Korea is open at this stage, the censorship system will be lifted next year. As long as the subject is not too shocking, it can basically enter theaters. There will be no more cases where large investments cannot be released and they can only be sealed and eaten.
Therefore, we need to try all kinds of things and develop balancedly.
Thinking of this, Simon continued to say to Chen Qing: "In addition, in the general direction, the Korean film companies we support can imitate the three brands under Daenerys Entertainment for layout, Daenerys, New World and Gaomen, one produces mainstream bombshells, one focuses on medium and low-cost films, and the other mainly focuses on winning awards. Of course, it is still to raise Gu. Those companies let them develop on their own, and whoever does the best will provide more support."
Chen Qing wrote down again, and saw that the matter was almost the same, and said, "Boss, when did you come to Seoul to play? It's been very lively here recently, and there are also selections of trainees, many beautiful girls, and these movies, boss, do you want to choose actresses in person?"
Simon lit his chin again and obviously understood the Miao Miao who looked up again, causing the little girl to make me cry, and said with a smile: "It depends on the situation."
Then he talked about some trivial matters and quit the line. Simon directly operated the computer and downloaded and installed "Counter-Strike OL" that was just launched today from Daenerys Game Mall. While saying to the girl in her arms, "Are you sleepy? Why don't we play games?"
"Okay, dad," the girl suddenly became interested and complained: "Mom doesn't let me play games normally."
"How can this work? I'll teach her a lesson later."
Miao Mu's face suddenly turned red again. The girl had already escaped from her ignorance. She probably knew what the lesson Simon said might be.
The game will be installed soon.
Simon logged in casually and entered the interface, but he didn't start directly. After creating a character at will, he looked around and quickly opened a list.
List.
There must be a list.
This is something that Simon specifically advised during the development process.
In addition, it also includes a sign-in system and a task system. Although the game is bought out directly, players can still obtain some special props through sign-in and tasks.
These are actually effective ways to increase user stickiness.
In the era of online games, no matter how the charging method is, popularity is fundamental. As more people play, it is easy to produce the Matthew effect, which makes more and more users.
I have to say that the development team did a good job of executing Simon's will.
At present, there are only two types of classic blasting modes and team competitions, but the team has made a total of 10 lists, which are divided into total, monthly and weekly lists.
Looking at the data, the players look very enthusiastic. The simplest and most direct person-to-head list counts the total number of kills in all gameplays. From the time the game was officially launched at 9:00 this morning to now, in 12 hours, someone has completed 1,700 kills. The ranking of 100 people on the first page is at least 1,000 kills, which shows how fierce the competition is.
The competition is good.
However, Simon quickly thought of the plug-in and temporarily quit the game. He directly sent an email to Nancy Brill, asking her to pay special attention to this issue.
The gaming experience is very important, and this must be paid special attention to. Such an excellent start cannot be ruined by plug-ins.
Chapter completed!
