Cao Weidong introduced the shooting plan of [Feng Shen] in a crackling voice.
The novel "Feng Shen" has a complex narrative, a large volume, an unconstrained plot, and is full of imagination. It is a rare literary treasure.
If you use a movie to cover it, you will probably make a flashy movie sketch.
Cao Weidong’s purpose.
It’s an epic movie.
He is very ambitious.
I want to make a movie that is comparable to or even surpasses "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter", a fantasy epic masterpiece that belongs to the East.
Under his guidance and love, four talented people in Hong Kong reconstructed the story of Fengshen.
The re-deconstructed script can just form a typical trilogy structure.
These three structures can be simply summarized into three core events.
1. When Daji entered the palace, the King of Shang was tyrannical and cruel, and the princes responded with court songs!
2. King Wu rebelled against merchants and attacked Xiqi in thirty-six routes!
3. King Wu defeated Zhou and established the Zhou Dynasty, and Jiang Ziya became a god!
This allows a complete story to be told in three movies.
Each movie also contains a relatively complete story stage.
However, the traditional film shooting model usually shoots a movie first, and when the movie is successful, then find a central event to shoot a second movie.
In this mode, the story can be continued indefinitely.
Such as Shaw's [One-Armed Sword].
But there is a problem.
The shooting time span was too long, and the actors' performances and story scripts often felt a little disconnected from the previous films.
That's why Cao Weidong asked the three stories to be filmed together.
However, he finished the visual effects for the first film first, and then fine-tuned the subsequent films based on feedback.
Mr. Shao quickly understood what Cao Weidong meant, and his tone was full of emotion.
"Weidong, sometimes I really want to know how many fantastic ideas you have in your mind."
Cao Weidong smiled.
No answer.
On the original timeline.
This is what a well-known director did.
He just made a copy of the document, nothing to be proud of.
After talking about the movie, the two talked about the health product factory.
Mr. Shao heard that the problem of the factory building had not been solved yet, so he patted his chest and promised.
"I'll take care of the factory issues."
Cao Weidong smiled.
"Then I'll trouble Mr. Shao. We also need to open up channels for importing Chinese medicinal herbs from the mainland."
"This is easy to say, so leave it to me."
Mr. Shao agreed immediately.
.......
Three months passed in a flash.
[Fengshen] completed the filming as scheduled and officially entered the post-production stage.
This is the first visual effects blockbuster produced using digital green screen technology in Hong Kong City, and even in the world. Cao Weidong attaches great importance to it, checking it almost frame by frame, striving for excellence.
During this period, Mr. Shao was not idle either.
Not only did he choose the site for the health care product factory, he also registered the two trademarks [Shou Zheng Tang] and [San Xian Oral Liquid].
The former is the name of a health care product factory.
The latter is a health product they are developing.
Hold a trademark license.
Cao Weidong was filled with emotion.
Although the mainland promulgated and implemented the Trademark Law in 1983, it was not until after joining the WTO that a complete patent protection mechanism was formed.
Before this, malicious imitation and plagiarism were very common in mainland China.
In contrast.
As early as decades ago, Hong Kong City had already popularized trademark law.
In 1890, the Hong Kong Governor's Government formulated the "Counterfeiting Trademarks Ordinance", which proposed the protection of trademarks and brands. It was revised several times in 1938 and 1950. After so many years of implementation and popularization, trademark protection, product infringement, etc.
Thoughts have penetrated deeply into the hearts of Hong Kong citizens.
With this certificate, his health care product factory has legal protection.
After all, he has a deep understanding of the mainland's terrifying imitation ability...
On this day, Cao Weidong was watching his employees making special effects for the movie. Mr. Shao suddenly sent someone to call Cao Weidong, saying that he had something important and wanted him to go to the Shouzhengtang Health Products R&D Base.
Cao Weidong had some vague expectations in his heart.
.......
Shouzhengtang Health Products R&D Base.
A tube of amber oral liquid was placed in front of Cao Weidong.
Mr. Zhong said with a smile.
"Living up to expectations, Sanxian Oral Liquid finally allowed us to come up with it."
Cao Weidong took a sip.
Sweet and sour.
It tastes pretty good.
As for any obvious feeling, Cao Weidong didn't feel it.
But it makes sense to think about it. Sanxian Oral Liquid is just a health product for the general public. It has a mild and moisturizing effect. Naturally, it is impossible to produce any obvious changes after drinking it for the first time.
As for those who claim to have immediate and quick results, they are most likely liars.
At this time, Mr. Shao took out the outer packaging of Sanxian Oral Liquid.
He is well versed in the importance of packaging. After putting it together, an extremely exquisite gift box appears in front of everyone. It is generous and decent and is definitely an excellent choice for giving gifts to relatives.
Mr. Shao said proudly.
"This is a gift box I asked someone to make specially. This gift box can hold 100 bottles of oral liquid, which is about a month's supply. We have to sell this thing for at least 200 per box, right?"
The cost of a bottle of Sanxian oral liquid is about 4-5 cents. After packaging, a bottle can be sold for 2 Hong Kong dollars, which is a huge profit.
Cao Weidong chuckled.
"Less."
Mr. Shao looked confused.
"What's missing?"
Cao Weidong said.
"I mean your asking price is a little low."
In the original timeline, when Nao Moujin was at his craziest, a box sold for 210 yuan.
It contains a bottle of capsules and a bottle of oral liquid.
There are 10 capsules, once a day, enough for ten days.
The oral solution comes in a large bottle of 250ml. According to the frequency of once a day, it is almost a ten-day dosage.
Compared with Naomoujin, Sanxian Oral Liquid is simply the conscience and moral gatekeeper of the industry.
After all, he knew exactly how many Chinese herbal medicines were used in this small bottle of oral liquid.
Cao Weidong thought for a moment and said.
"Redesign the packaging, which includes taster packaging, boutique packaging, and family packaging, with 10 bottles, 30 bottles, and 90 bottles respectively."
The recommended dosage of Sanxian Oral Liquid is once a day, which is the dosage for ten days, one month, and three months.
After a pause, he continued.
"As for pricing..."
"The early adopter package is 129 yuan, the premium package is 198 yuan, and the family package is 399 yuan."
Mr. Shao was shocked.
"Weidong, is this price too expensive?"
Cao Weidong smiled.
"Is it expensive? We are buying genuine products. The Chinese medicines we use are all first-class and good. They are not deceptive things like starch and sugar tablets. How can they be worth the price?"
Mr. Shao cursed secretly.
He thought he was quite evil, but he didn't expect to meet Cao Weidong.
Compared with the other party, he felt that he was a conscientious person.
Gritting his teeth, Mr. Shao said: "Weidong, in this case, I will have someone customize the gift box tomorrow, just as you say."
Cao Weidong stopped him.
"Don't worry, Mr. Shao, it's time for us to talk about the equity and how it's divided into these."
