Chapter 511 Mai Mai: Oh, I'm really looking forward to it!
The idea of using the "Three-Body" IP to develop cultural tourism projects is not unique to Meng Bai. As early as when Youzu just acquired the "Three-Body Universe", this idea was already proposed.
However, because Youzu lacked the corresponding adaptation capabilities and could not further develop this IP through film, television or games, it has always stopped at the conceptual stage.
Now that the "Three-Body Universe" has been sold to Arclight, which is stronger and has abundant funds and resource advantages, it may be able to complete this unfinished idea.
"Domestic science fiction theme park? This is a big project."
Director Wang exclaimed: "This kind of project is not something that our cultural and tourism department can decide on. We have to report it to a meeting for discussion. Moreover, as a complete airport, although Liuting is closed for shipping, it may retain the business in the field of low-altitude drones in the future, and there may not be much space left."
"It's okay, we can discuss this slowly. I just remembered it when I said this." Meng Bai said: "Even if we really want to develop it, we have to wait and see how the work will turn out after the movie adaptation. If the popularity can't hold up, then there is no way to talk about this development."
Arclight is already preparing for the film and television adaptation of "The Three-Body Problem". However, although the audience of online dramas is increasing now, it is still not as good as movies in terms of social influence.
Therefore, what Arclight has to do now, in addition to film and television adaptation, is more importantly to develop the filming of movies.
Fortunately, Lin Qi didn't have time to give out the film adaptation rights before he died, so Arclight can still retain the production of the film project.
Unfortunately, the overseas adaptation has been bought by Netflix. Arclight wanted to talk to the other party about whether it could be taken back, but unfortunately the other party's project has entered the operation stage and rejected Arclight's negotiation.
Meng Bai did not expect the Netflix version of "The Three-Body Problem" to be very good, but just hoped that it would not be so bad that it would ruin the overseas audience of this IP.
...
Time flies into June. As the flu situation gradually stabilizes, this year's college entrance examination has also returned to the traditional early summer season.
Meng Bai has been traveling between Beijing North and Lando during this period. In addition to the preparations for "The Wandering Earth 2" this summer, Arclight also has two dramas, "The Beginning" and "Sweeping Dark Storm", to be broadcast. "The Accidental Detective", which has been suppressed for a year, will finally be released in the summer.
Another important thing is that Arclight decided to spend 2.8 billion to buy a building near Zhongguancun and convert it into a brand new Arclight Building as the headquarters after the group reform.
This building originally belonged to another company, but before it could move in, the company's capital chain had problems due to the impact of the flu, so it had to be sold. Because the other party was in a hurry to get the funds back, they relaxed a bit on the price, so Arclight got a bargain.
The building has a total of 36 floors, three of which are underground. The location is also good, located in the core circle of Zhongguancun, close to Qiyi TV and ByteDance.
However, because Arclight is a film and television company, it also has certain requirements for the functionality of the building, so it still needs some renovation. According to the most ideal efficiency, it will not be officially put into use until the beginning of next year.
Meng Bai is not in a hurry. Anyway, the integration of the "Arclight system" will take time, and they can get together by then.
"Huahua, how is the early publicity of "The Beginning"? "
In the office, Meng Bai asked Hua Yan opposite while looking at the information in his hand.
"The homepage push on the website has already started, and the preview materials on the short video platform are also being promoted. The publicity and promotion of the leading actors are also being carried out simultaneously."
"Hey, I remember that the Central Academy of Drama seems to have not had its summer vacation yet?"
"It seems so, so Maimai now mainly relies on Saturdays and Sundays to run publicity schedules."
Meng Bai touched his chin. He couldn't help laughing when he thought of the short little figure who had to rush around on the weekends and then come back before class on Monday to prepare for the next exam week.
In addition to "The Beginning", there is also the promotion of "The Accidental Detective". She should be very busy this summer.
He smiled silently and was about to ask about the situation of the movie when his cell phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the name of the caller and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows-the caller happened to be Zhao Jinmai.
He waved his hand to let Hua Yan go out first, and watched the office door being closed before answering the call.
"What are you doing, boyfriend?"
The little girl's voice with a bit of coquettish tone came from the phone.
"Your boyfriend is considering whether to reduce his girlfriend's workload a little, so that she won't be exhausted after a summer vacation."
"Ah - it doesn't matter, it's just some promotional activities, this amount of work is nothing." Zhao Jinmai said with a smile: "I haven't told you yet, the company has helped me get a variety show on Qiyi TV, which can be recorded just in time for the summer vacation."
"Ha, your team is quite good at using time."
The tradition of the Central Academy of Drama has always been that students are not allowed to take on roles in the first two years, but there are no requirements for other activities.
As a popular "post-00s" little flower, Zhao Jinmai will lose popularity if she doesn't appear in the camera for a long time. So it is normal to take a "summer job" during the vacation. Anyway,
the recording cycle of variety shows is generally short, so there is no need to worry about affecting the start of school.
"What kind of variety show did you take?" Meng Bai asked casually.
"Well, the name of the show is "Trend Partners". The first season was released last year, and this year is the second season. The members of the show go to Tokyo together to open a trendy brand store, which is probably similar to the type of simulated business." "
Go to Tokyo? Then your program team has sufficient funds."
"Well, I heard that the program manager of this season is Wu Fan. He runs a trendy brand himself and wants to promote it through the show, so it seems that he has also invested a part of it."
"Wu Fan? Oh, that big bowl of wide noodles, right?"
"Pfft - big bowl of wide noodles... Actually, I thought of this when I heard the list of names, but I didn't dare to say it." Zhao Jinmai couldn't help laughing.
Although Wu Fan himself said that he didn't care about the "big bowl of wide noodles" joke, and even released a song specifically for it, not everyone can say it.
Industry bosses like Meng Bai don't care. Even if they say it openly to his face, fans will proudly pat their chests and say "Look, even President Meng has heard my brother's songs." But if a newcomer like Zhao Jinmai says it, he may be scolded.
"Who else is on the show?"
"Are you checking up on them?"
"Yes." Meng Bai said in a natural tone, "I'm your boyfriend, it's normal for me to check up on you."
"Hmph..."
Zhao Jinmai deliberately pouted her lips and made a humming sound, but on the other end of the phone, she couldn't hide her smile.
There is no doubt that Meng Bai's "boyfriend performance" made the girl feel very happy.
"In addition to senior Wu Fan and me, the fixed members include sister Baby, teacher Pan Weibo, Fox..."
"No Paramount?"
Zhao Jinmai was stunned for a moment, and then she realized the joke: "Oh, it's not that Fox, it's a rapper."
"I haven't heard of it."
"I don't really know him, and I don't really like listening to rap songs."
Although she is still a college girl, Zhao Jinmai's personality and hobbies are a bit unlike those of young people. She doesn't go out much and is not very interested in popular things.
In addition to going to school and filming, her biggest hobby is to hide in the quilt and watch horror movies alone. It doesn't matter if she watches it, but she is not very brave.
Once before, she was afraid to sleep after watching a horror movie at night. Finally, she called Meng Bai and asked her "boyfriend" to sleep with her remotely.
"If there is anything during the recording of the show, you can tell your sister Baby, and I will ask her to take care of you."
"Yeah, I know."
Although Yang Tianbao has left Taiyang Chuanhe, he still maintains a warm relationship with Hu Guang. It happened that she was also in this show, and for Meng Bai's sake, she would still take good care of Zhao Jinmai.
After chatting for a while, in fact, the girl didn't have anything serious to do, she just wanted to call her "boyfriend".
"When is your summer vacation?"
"It won't be until mid-July. Oh, Beijing Film Academy has a week earlier than us. I'm so envious!"
"Then you probably won't have time to go to the press conference for the movie "Accidental Murder" at the beginning of next month?"
"Yeah, that's exam week. I guess I won't have time."
"Okay, it's okay if you don't come as a small supporting role. Just prepare for the exam. Let me make it clear, if you fail the course, don't ask me to contact the teacher to beg for mercy for you."
"Tsk, I won't fail the course!"
Zhao Jinmai muttered, and then suddenly thought of something, and said in a teasing tone with a bit of sourness: "I remember that the Magnolia Awards seemed to be presented today. Oh, I don't know who will win the Best Actress award in the end. I'm really looking forward to it!"
"..."
This little girl, it would be better for you to just follow your good sister route. Why do you always think about being weird?
