744, no coincidence(1/2)
An Kexin's arrival was a surprise to Xia Yang, because before coming, he specifically asked Zuo Yuqing, and Zuo Yuqing said that An Kexin was not in Puhai and was inspecting the crew outside.
Unexpectedly, with good luck, An Kexin came back early.
Backed by Paramount Pictures, Baoxin Films has naturally developed rapidly.
Nowadays, Baoxin Film is not a small film production company with only one or two directors at the beginning. Nowadays, Baoxin Film Company has grown and has many talents such as screenwriters and directors. At most, there are seven or eight film crews working at the same time.
Currently, among the top five domestic film companies, Baoxin Films must have a place.
It's just that Baoxin Films' reputation is not well-known outside.
Because Xia Yang originally told An Kexin to focus on foreign markets, most of the films produced by Baoxin Film Company are released abroad, that is, handed over to Paramount Company for distribution.
Although after acquiring the movie shot by Bao Xin, Paramount basically just released it in movie theaters in some summer communities in the United States, and the box office was not high.
But because the cost of shooting movies in China is currently very low, although the box office is not high, the income from box office, video tapes, copyrights, etc. is still very profitable.
You know, at this time, some actors are really working hard, and they don't even need any money. As long as they provide food, they rush to film. Imagine how low the cost of film production is.
Of course, Baoxin Film Company will not squeeze actors like this. The money will not be less, and if they see good talents, they will sign them into the company.
This is how Chen Hong joined Baoxin Film Company.
In addition, under An Kexin's supervision, no one at Baoxin Film Company dared to play with hidden rules or anything like that.
After Baoxin Films was established, many people were directly fired by An Kexin because of playing with unspoken rules.
In this regard, An Kexin has absolutely zero tolerance. After all, when she wanted to be a director and make movies her career, she just wanted to change the weak side of actresses.
"Paramount suggested that we shoot some TV series to test the market response in the United States. I feel that this is a new profit point. Just come over and give me an idea as soon as possible. What subject matter is better to shoot, not to mention trying to get a hit?
And being popular can at least attract American viewers to pay to watch it."
In the office, An Kexin and the other three were sitting across from Xia Yang. An Kexin spoke quickly, asking Xia Yang to give her advice, and her tone was naturally a bit coquettish.
Needless to say, American TV dramas can be said to be the ceiling of TV dramas.
The great director Cameron has filmed a TV series called "Dark Angel", which made him burst into laughter.
There are an endless stream of high-quality TV series in the United States, such as "Friends", "Game of Thrones", "Breaking Bad" and so on.
The production cost of some high-quality TV series is higher than that of blockbuster movies, with millions of dollars per episode, or even tens of millions of dollars per episode. The rich are very rich.
Of course, it goes without saying that the production level of these TV series is absolutely top-notch.
However, precisely because of the large investment and in order to reduce the risk of failure, American TV dramas are also very demanding. They usually adopt a mode of filming and panning. They film one or two episodes first to test the water. If not many people pay to watch, they will directly
Cut it off. If more people pay to watch it, it goes without saying that the boss will get rich and the actors will also gain fame and fortune.
Therefore, it is very important for Baoxin Films to launch the first TV series in the American market. If the subject matter is chosen well, it can attract a large number of paying viewers and become an instant hit. On the contrary, losses are inevitable.
After An Kexin finished speaking, Xia Yang looked away from her.
An Kexin became more and more charming, with a pointed chin, a long and narrow eye, a charming smile, and a plump figure, especially when she took off her jacket when she entered Zuo Yuqing's office, and her red elastic sweater outlined her plump chest,
The tight jeans on the lower body show a snake waist, round buttocks, long straight legs, and a smooth figure. She is simply a beautiful snake!
It's just that Zuo Yuqing was present, and Xia Yang couldn't see much. If he and An Kexin were the only two people in the office, he would have hugged An Kexin on his lap and hurt her as hard as he could to relieve the pain of lovesickness.
No way, I never noticed before that Liu Taobao and An Kexin were so ambitious.
In order to develop Xia Ren's own mobile phone, Liu Taobao was busy developing mobile phones all day long, and there were not many calls to Xia Yang.
The same is true for An Kexin. She is busy with Baoxin Film Company all day long, making movies continuously, making money and then investing it in making movies. She has no time to go abroad to watch Xia Yang.
However, it is precisely because of An Kexin's efforts that Baoxin Films has developed so fast.
And her efforts finally paid off.
Because this cooperation between Paramount and An Kexin in filming a TV series is the best proof.
After all, only when the U.S. market accepts Xiaren's movies more and more will we have the foundation to enter the TV drama market.
Obviously, An Kexin has continued to shoot movies for release in the United States over the years, and the market cultivation has not been in vain, and Xia Ren's movies have been recognized.
In addition, the Hong Kong films shot by Lan Jieying will not compete with An Kexin.
Because just like a snack street, if so many food stalls are gathered together, will the business be better?
So the same logic.
The addition of the Hong Kong film shot by Lan Jieying has only advantages, because there are more elements of Xiaren movies and Xiaren entertainment, and markets such as the United States can develop faster.
Xia Yang was secretly proud. He didn't expect that his original free chess move would be made by An Kexin.
Therefore, for An Kexin’s first TV series to enter the American market, she must think carefully and strive for success.
Xia Yang carefully recalled the high-quality American TV series he had watched in his previous life.
There are many types of American TV series, including science fiction, life comedy, detective suspense, espionage, thriller and supernatural, etc.
Science fiction films can be considered, but the cost is too high.
Life comedy, cross this one out, after all, Americans and Xia people have different laugh points.
If you are looking for a suspenseful case, you can consider it.
Xia Yang thought quietly.
Zuo Yuqing, An Kexin, and Chen Hong all sat quietly aside, waiting patiently.
No one dared to talk to disturb Xia Yang.
Because Boss Xia’s earning power goes without saying.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At first he only picked a few scripts, and An Kexin, a half-time director, could make money. At this time, most domestic directors were filming a movie
Lose one part.
I can only imagine how much Boss Xia can make money.
After thinking about it for a while, Xia Yang came up with an idea. The idea was very simple. Just spend money and shoot more subjects and types.
So he chose three themes: science fiction, detective suspense, and thriller and supernatural.
Needless to say, science fiction themes have always been very popular.
Although the investment is not small, it can be linked to the robot dog movie. Regardless of whether it makes money or not, it can at least increase the popularity of the robot dog movie.
Even if the robot dog TV series doesn't make money, you can make money back from the robot dog movie.
Not to mention detective suspense, as long as the script is well written and the suspense is captured, it should be able to attract people to spend money to watch it.
Finally, the horror and supernatural theme is Xia Yang’s favorite theme, because there are too many ghosts and supernatural legends in Xia Kingdom.
There are endless stories of ghosts and ghosts, such as Liaozhai, Xuanguailu and so on in ancient Xia Dynasty.
As for the market response, the popularity of movies such as Tomb Raider and Painted Skin, which will become popular in the future, is the best proof.
In the United States, there is also a market for horror and supernatural themes, such as movies such as Alone, The Island, and The Conjuring, and TV series such as "The Power of Evil" and "Ghost Mom," etc., all of which have high ratings.
"I have chosen three themes for you, science fiction, detective suspense, and thriller and supernatural."
Xia Yang told An Kexin about the theme he chose.
This is the advantage of having more resources and money. If you choose three themes at once, as long as one of them makes money, it’s not a loss. If two of them make money, it’s a huge profit.
The reason why Xia Yang worked so hard and was willing to invest this time was not only for An Kexin, but also because he saw the opportunity to make money from the European and American entertainment markets, so he had to pay attention to it.
"Okay, I listen to you."
An Kexin nodded, stopped talking, and continued to listen patiently to Xia Yang's explanation.
Chen Hong and Zuo Yuqing did the same, waiting quietly for Xia Yang's explanation.
Xia Yang continued, "For science fiction-themed TV series, I suggest that they be linked to robot dog movies. TV series don't make money, but movies do."
After Xia Yang made his first suggestion, An Kexin and Chen Hong's eyes lit up. They felt that they could make money by filming a robot dog TV series.
Zuo Yuqing, a film layman, also feels that this idea is reliable and has a high probability of making money.
"With the theme of detective suspense, I suggest you look for more Xia Guoqi cases, both ancient and modern. The more bizarre and tortuous the case, the better. Finally, check the script well, and the better the shooting quality, the less the risk of failure.
Very low.”
"The last one is scary and supernatural. I am most optimistic about this theme. There are many legends about ghosts and ghosts in ancient Xia people. They don't require copyright fees. You can shoot them casually. Foreigners should also be very surprised by the supernatural stories of Xia people. The last thing to pay attention to is the scenes and special effects.
Make sure you do it well and don’t be afraid of spending money.”
Speaking of this, Xia Yang paused and thought of another idea, "We can invest more and build a science fiction movie city and a Liaozhai movie city. It can not only be used for shooting scenes, but also collect tickets to make money."
Can it still be done like this?
An Kexin and Chen Hong both opened their mouths in surprise.
Zuo Yuqing's eyes were also shining, and she saw business opportunities.
Sci-fi movie city aside, if a Liaozhai movie city is built, let alone foreigners, even Zuo Yuqing herself wants to take Zuo Tonghui to see it.
Of course, Xia Yang's idea is not that novel. Disneyland and Paramount have their own movie cities. In addition to being used as movie sets, they also provide paid visits.
"The movie city is a good project. If Baoxin doesn't have enough funds, Xueli can be responsible for the investment and construction of the Science Fiction Movie City and Liaozhai Movie City."
Zuo Yuqing immediately expressed her intention to get involved.
