Chapter 504: The thrilling "The Walking Dead"
The book "Game of Thrones" began to gain popularity in Europe and the United States. After reading the first volume, many people urged for updates and introduced the book to their friends.
Random House acted very quickly. After the contract was signed, they quickly typeset and printed the book, and also put the e-book on the shelves of Random House's e-bookstore. Although Su Yang's Twitter had free books available for viewing, many Europeans and Americans did not follow Su Yang.
However, Random House has a large number of users. After seeing the recommendation from Random House, many people curiously clicked on the book and started reading it. After reading it, they also urged for more updates.
Su Yang didn't continue to update the book on his Twitter account. Now that he had signed with Random House, he had to make the money. Once the first volume gained popularity, he would submit the manuscript for the second volume to Random House. This would maximize profits. As for the development of the IP, there was no need to rush.
A good IP takes time to develop, especially when it's developed through novels. It's only over time that it attracts more readers, and when it's adapted into a TV series or movie, it can reach even more viewers.
Su Yang and his companions continued their journey. After Tang Qing learned of Su Yang's plan, she sent people directly to France to sign a contract with Bal.
While Su Yang and his family were traveling, a major drama was finally completed in China.
In the screening room of Qingyao Media, Tang Qing and a group of executives were watching the newly completed series "The Walking Dead." After such a long time in the making, the first installment in the zombie IP series was finally released.
The TV series "The Walking Dead" has gone through many twists and turns since its launch. The script has been revised many times, and not only Su Yang was involved, but also many editors. The purpose is simple, that is, how to make this drama compatible with both Chinese and foreign audiences.
The editors also discussed this issue. The final strategy was to set the story in a foreign country. This was because guns and other weapons would appear in the show, which was obviously not suitable in China.
The whole story takes place in the United States, in an American town similar to Chinatown. In this town, there are a large number of Chinese people living here, as well as some whites, blacks and other races.
The reason for the virus leak was that the US military secretly conducted biological experiments in this small town. Throughout the story, Su Yang and the editing team also added a lot of private goods, exposing some of the ugliness of the United States.
This is not only the setting of The Walking Dead, but also the setting of the currently produced Resident Evil. The setting of Resident Evil is also the same. The mysterious Umbrella Corporation is behind the US military. Because of the human biological experiment, the virus leaked, causing the biochemical crisis.
Compared to "The Walking Dead", the progress of "Resident Evil" is much slower, mainly because "Resident Evil" is not just a movie, but also the development of the game has been launched at the same time, which complement each other. According to the plan, "Resident Evil" will appear around next summer vacation.
In the screening room, everyone was watching attentively. The whole movie had a strong rhythm, was explosive, exciting, suspenseful, and bloody...
"Director Zhang, this domestic version won't pass review."
Seeing such a bloody scene, Tang Qing couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, it's not allowed in China. But we took this into consideration when filming. The domestic version is not too bloody..."
Director Zhang Ke nodded. To ensure the show could be broadcast domestically, some adjustments had been made during filming. It was completely unlike the gory foreign versions.
For example, the gun-like zombies are just a small hole in the Chinese version, which reduces the bloodiness. However, the foreign version is very exciting. Many times, the whole head will be blown up by one shot, and even the body can be blown into pieces of meat.
Such scenes will definitely not pass review in China. Instead of making large-scale cuts that cause the plot to be awkward, it would be better to deal with them during filming to avoid these bloody scenes.
"The quality is very good. Submit it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Let them negotiate with the platform..."
After watching a few episodes, Tang Qing said with a smile.
"Do you want to let President Su take a look?"
Zhang Ke couldn't help but ask.
"Boss Su is on vacation now. He gave us instructions before he left. We can make many decisions on our own. Boss Su has confidence in you."
Tang Qing smiled and said that Su Yang had already told her before he left for the trip. If possible, she should not be approached with company matters, and she should not let the company's people become dependent on her.
In fact, the company has a lot of talented people, after all, they are all hired with high salaries. I just need to grasp the general direction, and they can complete the rest of the things themselves without having to bother me at all.
Only in this way can I have more free time. However, for the company and employees, during the rapid rise of Qingyao Media in the past few years, everyone relied too much on Su Yang. Many works did not pass Su Yang's eyes and they felt that they had little confidence.
However, this time, Tang Qing did not ask them to trouble Su Yang again. Su Yang had already participated in the script writing process, and the script was also very good.
The first season of The Walking Dead consists of twelve episodes, all of which are Chinese actors. The leading actor is even more familiar to everyone.
Su Donghai is the star of "The Walking Dead", playing a small town deputy sheriff. In this TV series, Su Donghai's fighting ability is off the charts. He plays the role of a powerful fighter, and under his seemingly honest appearance, he also possesses great wisdom and responsibility.
This time, Su Donghai wants to show the world what a strong Chinese man is, and let everyone know what a strong Chinese man is. Su Donghai is already very famous in China, and the "Man vs. Wild" series is Su Donghai's masterpiece. He has also played various roles in many movies and TV series. Although he is not the protagonist, Su Donghai always appears in a unique way.
This time, Su Donghai finally became the protagonist. And he was an international protagonist. In the past few years, Su Donghai, like Qin Shumo, was also learning and improving under Su Yang's arrangement, and worked hard to learn acting skills.
After several years of training, Su Donghai's acting has truly improved. Su Yang's initial characterization of Su Donghai was that of a tough Chinese man. "The Walking Dead" is just the first step. As Qingyao Media expands, more explosive, hard-hitting films will follow. Su Donghai's burly build and tough-guy persona will surely shine on the international stage.
This time, Su Donghai's performance was also recognized by everyone. Su Donghai performed very well in this drama. The addition of Su Donghai also made the drama more interesting and exciting, which directly added a lot of points to the drama.
