1150. Modify the script?

The related topics and public opinion storms of "Explorer Poke: The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" have made this movie extremely exposed.

This was a good thing, but for other movies, I can say I hope it.

Because of negative news, that's also news.

But for Ali Media, this is really not a good thing.

On the one hand, it is because "The Tomb of the Explorer Poke" has not been lacking in exposure, and Ali Media has long spent a lot of resources on publicity.

This kind of top-notch big production can be said that negative news is definitely not a good thing.

Because the box office required by this type of movie cannot be supported by hype or other things.

Simply put, most movies that rely on hype and negative marketing will not cost too much, or the box office has failed, so they will use this method.

The former is not expensive, so you need to think about publicity and how to spend a small amount of money to do big things.

Negative news marketing and hype are naturally the best means.

But the big production is different. "The Tomb of the Explorer Poke Dragon Emperor" is highly expected.

This movie, the domestic box office, and the expectation of 4 billion yuan as the base can be raised by negative news?

The key is that the current situation is very bad.

More and more people are joining the discussion, and most people are very dissatisfied with the plot of this movie or the novel.

Ali Media held an emergency meeting for this.

The huge conference room was full of people.

Among them were Qi Dongming, the helm of Ali Media, as well as the Propaganda Department, Public Relations Department, and other personnel gathered together.

Not only that, but also the head of the remote Alliance Film Industry, the head of Imperial Cinema, etc.

and director Jack Curtis who is filming the film for a long time.

"Cough cough, let's start." Qi Dongming said with a cough twice.

Everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Qi Dongming turned his head and signaled to the assistant.

Then, Qi Dongming's assistant picked up the remote control and pressed it down.

Various negative news about "The Tomb of the Explorer Poke Dragon Emperor", various controversial posts, and comments from various celebrities, etc., were all put on the big screen.

"It is obvious that the project "The Tomb of the Explorer Poke Dragon Emperor" has a big problem in public opinion."

"Everyone has seen the situation. If you have any ideas, I will tell you what you think." Qi Dongming said.

At this time, Guo Chuan, the head of Ali Media Propaganda Department, spoke: "In fact, it is obvious that some people carefully planned and fueled the fire behind these public opinions. However, what I want to say is not this, but why is this situation happening, because the opponent has grasped the real flaws of our project."

"First, as a villain, the First Emperor transformed into a five-clawed golden dragon and was eventually defeated by the protagonist, Dragon Quest. These plots are the content of the novel "The Tomb of the Explorer Poke Dragon Emperor", and this is indisputable."

Guo Chuan's voice fell.

Qi Dongming's face was quite ugly, but he nodded and signaled Guo Chuan to continue.

"Actually, let alone netizens outside, I am myself. To be honest, it is difficult for me to accept such a setting."

Guo Zhi said that, and glanced at Jack Curtis in the remote camera.

Then he continued: "This is probably a cultural cognitive bias. Our country of China has always hoped that his son would become a dragon, the dragon and the phoenix would be auspicious, the dragon among people, etc. Our descendants of Yan and Huang call themselves the descendants of the dragon. The dragons here are actually more of a cultural heritage and a national totem and dragon. For Chinese people, they have extremely special status and significance."

"In the eyes of many people, the five-clawed golden dragon symbolizes supremacy, power, and auspiciousness!"

"In ancient times, we called the children of emperors dragons and dragon grandsons. The five-clawed golden dragon often represents the Nine Five Supreme! These are things that I think are difficult for Westerners to understand."

"Because in the West, they recognize that the dragon is an evil dragon and is synonymous with evil, but in fact, the dragons in the East and the West are two completely different species."

"The dragon in China has its own origin, and it is completely different from the dragon in the West!"

"The Western dragons, among the people of China, are usually known as the kind of big lizard with wings."

"Another about the First Emperor, the First Emperor is known as the ancestor dragon of the Chinese Kingdom. Although the Qin Dynasty regards black as the most noble, it is not impossible to use the five-clawed golden dragon to represent the First Emperor!"

"But the question is whether the First Emperor became a villain, does it also mean that the Zulong of Huaguo is a villain? This is the biggest reason why public opinion will explode!"

"Because, this is equivalent to denying ourselves!" Guo Chuan said.

Qi Dongming frowned and said, "Minister Guo, we don't need you to popularize this knowledge. What I want to know is the solution!"

Guo Chuan shook his head and said, "Our Propaganda Department has also studied it, but in the end there is no good solution. However, there are two suggestions. First, the movie is a movie, and the novel is a novel. The content of the novel "The Tomb of the Explorer Poke The Dragon Emperor" cannot be changed. In other words, those things that are destined to make Chinese people dislike are no longer able to be eliminated. So can we use this as a reason for adapting this work? Of course, the plot of the movie will definitely change in this way!"

"There is nothing to say about another suggestion. It creates other topics and diverts the public's attention. However, this method is used to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, because this public opinion is not spontaneous, but is manipulated by someone, so sooner or later it will explode."

Qi Dongming nodded, then looked at Jack Curtis and said, "Director Curtis, do you have any good ideas about the plot modification of the movie? After all, the main market of "The Tomb of the Explorer Poke Dragon Emperor" is not only North America but also China, so we must take into account both markets!"

Jack Curtis shook his head and said, "There is no problem to modify the plot of the movie. After all, our movie has just begun to be filmed, but the problem is how to modify it?"

Jack Curtis is easy to talk to, and he did not show any harshness, regardless of public pressure and public opposition.

Of course, this is also Jack Curtis's shrewdness.

Because of this movie, he has already received enough benefits, otherwise he would not have taken it.

Secondly, he is a big director of commercial films and a big director of 10 billion, so he is not at all opposed to making compromises for the market.

Finally, the plot of the movie can be modified, but how? If something goes wrong in the end, he has every reason to blame him.

Because the person who requests to modify the plot of the movie is the investor!

"Let's talk about it. If the plot of the movie is modified, how can it be appropriate?" Qi Dongming looked at everyone and said.

"First of all, we need to know how much the movie plot can be modified if it is modified. After all, Mr. Qi also said that the target market of "The Tomb of the Explorer Poke Dragon Emperor" is not only China, but also the North American market. Therefore, if the modification is too large, will it have an impact on the North American market? This is also a question we need to consider." Guo Chuan said again.
