Chapter 1010 An answer from the future
(ps: Let’s put two chapters first. Because there are many relatives at home, I really don’t have time to write. There is only so much for the time being. I’ll find a way to take time out during the day or at night to make up for the additional updates, alas.)
After hearing that this incident had a phased result, Kim Jong-kwon finally cheered up.
I still remember that he promised Kim Woo Bin that he would play a separate drama for him, which was related to the plan he studied with So Ji-seok!
"Is the acquisition plan still going well?" Kim Jong-kwon asked curiously.
So Ji-seok suddenly had the urge to beat him again. After convinced him to make such a plan, he became the boss without caring about anything. Now, this question made him look like an outsider, and he was extremely bad!
So Ji-seok is now increasingly doubting whether he chose to believe his vision and intuition to make such a big plan to spend money, is it too blind and impulsive!
"Isn't it going well? Why don't you talk, Brother Jisue?"
"There are some results, but they are much worse than expected. The popular IPs have been monopolized by large companies. The rest are either the price of the lion and the lions that are not worth much even if they are remade." So Ji-seok advised himself in his heart again, enduring the urge to deal with him well, and briefly explained the status quo.
"There is nothing to regret, it can be said to be expected."
Kim Jong-kwon was not surprised at all about this result. Although it is not as popular in South Korea as in the United States, it is now like in the United States to bring some popular IPs to the big screen or simply shoot them into TV series, this sign has long appeared.
For example, the "real-person event-adapted movie" that is highly praised by Korean directors, in a sense, is actually consuming these "ips", but this IP is well-known to the public as a real event.
Although many directors in South Korea are keen on ‘original scripts’, the rights and value of the screenwriter industry are increasing, and in recent years, all excellent original movies or TV series have emerged.
But it is undeniable that compared with the original script that takes time and effort to modify n times before the final product, the adaptation of popular IP still has relatively considerable advantages.
First of all, as a popular IP, it has a large fan base, which are potential audiences that can be won over.
Another thing is that popularity means it is familiar and does not require much publicity to attract audiences to the cinema to watch and get a glimpse of the truth!
The workload of adapting the script in the end is undoubtedly much less than that of the original, saving time and effort.
Of course, these are just a few more conspicuous benefits of adapting popular IPs. Simply put, it is easy to make money. Even if it is made into garbage, there will be a group of stupid audiences who buy tickets to support them.
The disadvantages are also obvious. First of all, whether fans of the original work will support it or not is satisfied with this adaptation of the original work.
But you don’t need to worry too much about this. Anyway, since ancient times, everything adapted, no matter how good or bad things are, will be criticized by the original party.
In the hearts of some people, they can only be satisfied if they shoot the original work 100% original. In addition, even if they delete any irrelevant character or plot, it is something they cannot tolerate!
Not to mention these film and television dramas that will definitely be greatly modified if adapted. In summary, it is just a word, not satisfied!
But no matter how dissatisfied, most original writers will still walk into the cinema with a provocative attitude and contribute their own strength to the box office. It is probably the legendary dislike of being upright. They are talking trash, but they are neatly paying to buy tickets to watch movies. They are indeed arrogant enough!
The second difficulty is how to balance the conflict between fans who have read the original work and entered the cinema and ordinary moviegoers!
This is also one of the reasons why many movies find that word of mouth polarization is extremely serious after they are released!
I believe many people have had this feeling. When watching an adapted movie that they are not very familiar with, they find that there will always be people laughing or being inexplicably excited at some inexplicable points, and they are so excited that they can't help themselves. However, you have a black question mark throughout the whole process, looking unsure, so it seems that you are not watching the same movie...
Please rest assured, this is not that you have too much laughter or that the people around you are crazy, it is just that you have never read the original work so you can't understand some memes or easter eggs specially laid out by the director.
And this is the biggest generation gap between the two groups.
The last difficulty is that adapting a movie can make the director play a lot, because this style has been established in the original work. It is undoubtedly very difficult to find a director with a style that matches the style of the original work as much as possible.
Not every popular IP has been successfully brought to the big screen in recent years, and it is also a few who have become cannon fodder to make investors suffer heavy losses.
Therefore, although the adapted movies are born with various buffs, which are easier to succeed and make money, their disadvantages are also very obvious. This is a double-edged sword, but the chance of cutting oneself is smaller, so the United States, which is popular in Hollywood, is chasing all kinds of popular IPs like that!
No matter whether you can shoot or make money, buy the IP first!
An IP fever seems to be slowly sweeping over...
And this is exactly what Kim Jong-kwon values. He wants to take the lead in the situation where others in China don’t pay much attention to IP.
At least I don’t have to worry about these artists in the company having no drama to shoot in the future!
But the same thing is true, this world may lack fools, but smart people will never disappear.
That's why So Ji-seok said that the acquisition plan was not very smooth. Many popular IPs have been bought by others, so they can only choose some of the works they like from the works they don't want.
"At least we still have some gains, right?" Kim Jong-kwon said optimistically.
"All are here, and these are the to-determined lists that I think are of no value." So Ji-seok looked at him angrily, and then threw two lists in front of him.
"Let me take a look first." Kim Jong-kwon didn't care and picked it up and started looking around.
Now some visionary people have started to storm IP, storm jewelry and gold is outdated, while some people can't see these things clearly and regard these people as fools, but do not know that the real fool is actually themselves.
Of course, Kim Jong-kwon didn't think So Ji-seok was stupid, because everyone had their own opinions on things. Before we got the result, no one dared to say that what they thought was must be right.
