Chapter 468 The wave of film and television adaptations
By the way, Wu Dong has not written any more online novels since the end of "Kung Fu Miracle Doctor in the City". After all, he has a lot of money in his hands, and other businesses are starting to gain momentum, so there is no need to work so hard on writing.
However, his contact with the website editor has never been interrupted.
I have already had the idea to acquire a website, but I just didn’t have enough money.
He is engaged in industry, as well as cultural and sports industries such as entertainment and sports. He must accumulate strength and foundation step by step.
I have never been involved in the financial industry such as the stock market, so I naturally cannot make money with nothing.
Although he knew the general trend of the stock market, whether it was domestic or foreign, he had no idea of seeking professional participation.
Therefore, the wealth in his hands was not accumulated so quickly at the beginning, which was far worse than the pig's feet in some rebirth novels.
But in 2008, it was the time when his industry exploded.
In addition to the huge profits made by Star Director Studio, the sales and income of the novels written based on the movie scripts are quite large.
This is the origin of the publishing house derived from comprehensive stores.
It specializes in publishing simplified Chinese novels and has relatively close cooperation with novel websites.
Some of the more popular novels have almost all been published by publishers that have obtained the publishing rights in simplified Chinese.
Even if there is competition from piracy, the profits that can be earned are still considerable.
Another one is the explosion of beverage groups.
With the new champions of the Chinese Super League like Guihua School Team helping to advertise, the effect is really impressive.
Otherwise, if you spend huge sums of money on TV advertising, you don’t know how much money it will cost.
The current beverage group's monthly turnover of several nutritional drinks and health drinks exceeds 50 million, making it an absolute cash cow.
At this time, Wu Dong can naturally let go of his own hands and acquire the largest novel website in the country.
Apart from anything else, the film and television culture group established by Wu Dong at this time was a natural fit with the novel website, and many previous cooperations had good feedback.
On the contrary, at this time, the boss of the novel website’s main assets were the top gaming companies in the country.
The reason for investing in novel websites is to make astonishing profits by adapting games from popular novels.
It cannot be said that this approach is wrong, but the domestic game development level needs to be improved, and several games adapted from popular novels are not very effective.
At this time, the income from a simple novel website is far behind that of developing a popular game.
When Wu Dong's cultural group contacted the other party and expressed its intention to acquire the novel website, it was not rejected, but the price was somewhat difficult to negotiate.
No way, the emergence of Wu Dong has led to the role of novel websites in script materials being quite astonishing.
Not to mention the film he wrote himself called "Kung Fu Miracle Doctor in the City", he also filmed the TV series "A Generation of Military Advisors" co-produced with Datang Film and Television. In 2008, it was a hit drama and ranked among the top three of the year.
As popular as the later "Nirvana in Fire" was, "A Generation of Military Advisors" was even more popular.
"Nirvana in Fire" still has some sadistic plots, so "A Generation of Military Advisors" is a purely enjoyable novel.
Like this, it's fun all the way to the end, but it's not that mindless fun.
The machinations and plots inside are often full of ups and downs and are exciting.
The key is that there is almost no place that makes people feel frustrated.
That kind of intelligence is comparable to Zhuge Leyi's. The refreshing feeling of solving troubles and crushing enemies purely with IQ is unparalleled.
In short, "The Military Master" became an instant hit after it was aired. Not only did the ratings skyrocket, but all the actors who participated in it became popular.
Therefore, when it is fed back to the novel platform, its valuation will naturally be greatly improved.
Among other things, after the popularity of "Army", many film and television companies began to frantically hoard the rights to film and television adaptations of online novels.
Fortunately, Star Director Studio moved faster and has already acquired all the film and television adaptation rights for easily adapted works such as "The Concubine", "Return to the Ming Dynasty to Be a Prince", and the recent "Invincible Black Fist".
Because of this, when negotiating to acquire the novel website, the price offered by the other party was quite high, more than a small target than expected.
When the income of the beverage group and the director's studio increased dramatically, Wu Dong was too lazy to continue to pester and directly agreed to the other party's conditions.
No, my brother reported this right now.
I have witnessed with my own eyes the popularity of "Kung Fu Doctor" and the explosive ratings of "The Master", as well as the super high profits they have brought.
My brother has a good mind, so he naturally doesn’t know the importance of novel websites.
Besides, in fact, he was also a loyal supporter of online novels. Now that he can win the largest novel website in China, he feels quite happy.
"Datang Film and Television, what are your thoughts?"
While strolling around his newly built office building, Wu Dong continued to ask.
"They have the idea of continuing their efforts. I hope you, boss, will designate an online novel to be adapted!"
"Don't they have any ideas themselves?"
"Datang Film and Television is very interested in "Qing Yu Nian" and has also obtained the film and television adaptation rights. However, it is not that easy to adapt the novel!"
Wu Dong nodded to express his understanding. "Celebrating More Than Years" is a rare masterpiece among the later adaptations of online novels.
When filming at this time, the requirements for the script are very high, and many acting talents have to be invited to join in. It is definitely a large-scale production.
The point is, if a good historical martial arts novel ends up with a robot, the audience may not be able to accept it.
The best way is to first shoot a few high-quality film and television dramas adapted from online novels, and then wait until the audience gradually adapts to the developed imagination of online novels before filming this novel.
"Then tell Datang Film and Television to film "Concubine" first!"
Wu Dong thought about it for a moment and immediately decided on a key shooting project for Datang Film and Television.
Ahem, although he didn't contribute any money, he still has shares in Datang Film and Television, and it's still 20%, which is quite a lot.
This was one of the methods used by the coal boss of Jin Province named Li to bind him, and Wu Dong did not refuse.
Coupled with the unlimited glory of Starry Sky Director Studio, his voice in Datang Film and Television is not ordinary.
As I said before, the biggest advantage of coal bosses investing in the film and television industry is that they do not mess around and are willing to delegate power.
What they like to do most is to support little stars.
But once the little star you admire reaches the second-tier level, you will immediately stop, otherwise the impact will be too bad.
At this time, the life of the coal boss was not easy. The country was vigorously rectifying coal mining. The coal boss surnamed Li had the idea of betting heavily on the film and television industry.
Otherwise, with a lot of money in hand but no benchmark industry to back it up, it will be easy to be slaughtered as a fat pig.
The first wave of the real estate market in the capital was actually forced on by coal bosses who had a lot of money to spend and nothing to spend on it.
It's just that hoarding houses is not a serious business.
Once something unexpected happens, no matter how much house you have, you can take it as soon as you say it, without even a splash.
On the contrary, the film and television industry has a huge impact on climate change, even more than when it was a coal boss.
Boss Li obviously knew how to take advantage of the situation and firmly bound Wu Dong. This was how Datang Film and Television became prosperous.
Wu Dong was clear about these things, but he didn't care much about them.
What he is concerned about is the actual film quality.
In other words, with the rise of power, various time-travel dramas will soon appear in the television industry.
To be honest, in terms of brilliance, it is completely incomparable to fine historical online novels.
Apart from anything else, the refreshing feeling that online novels create all the time is definitely a rare element in movies and TV dramas at this time.
If you really want to talk about it, the benchmark of "Concubine" should be "The Punisher of the Song Dynasty" which was very popular before.
In "The New Official of the Song Dynasty", in addition to various exciting plots of solving crimes, there are also various frustrating plots in the court of the Southern Song Dynasty at that time, which makes people feel very unhappy.
In comparison, the era of "Concubine" belongs to the early Ming Dynasty, and the atmosphere of the entire society and court was different and much more positive.
In addition to investigating the case, the plot of being promoted step by step and gaining titles due to merit is also quite refreshing.
In the process of investigating the case, I was involved with the remnants of Zhu Yunwen, who had no idea whether he lived or died in history. The various plots were arranged very cleverly, which can be said to be quite exciting.
The most important thing is that although Pigfoot is a time traveler, apart from being very skilled in medicine, he is not very clear about other things, and he has not taken advantage of the convenience of time travel to arbitrarily change the course of history.
It can be said that this is an excellent novel that is quite easy to adapt. As long as the essence of the novel is captured, it will definitely become a hit.
It just so happens that the novel has just been completed not long ago, so I invited the author as one of the screenwriters to control the direction and essence, and the film will definitely be indistinguishable.
If it were not for the architecture and environment of the early Ming Dynasty, the scenes and people involved in this novel would not be too many or too large.
In comparison, the scenes in "Return to the Ming Dynasty to Be a Prince", which may be more enjoyable, are much larger.
There are always border wars, wars against Japanese invaders, wars against bandits, and the battle for maritime hegemony after the opening of sea frontiers. All of them are big scenes.
If you want to capture the essence, the investment is not small at all.
To be honest, with the size of the TV industry at this time, the pressure to make a profit is quite high.
We still have to wait until Internet giants join in and drive up the selling prices of TV series to sky-high prices before we can be sure to make a profit or even make a lot of money.
He did not tell his brother these thoughts.
Anyway, all the key projects of Datang Film and Television will start preliminary preparations only after Wu Dong has made the decision, so there is no need to worry about unexpected situations.
Speaking of which, what Wu Dong is most concerned about and wants to photograph the most is the few high-quality Chinese martial arts novels on the novel website he just acquired.
Whether it is "Fist of Fury", which intentionally imitates "Fist of Fury" and "Game of Death", or "Invincible Black Fist" and "The Romance of Dragon and Snake", which are the pinnacle of Chinese martial arts, he wants to film them all...
