Chapter 627: One Step at a Time
The popularity brought by the rebroadcast of "The Beginning" is not weak. On the contrary, given the current discussion about the web drama "The Beginning" and its subsequent popularity, the strong ratings are basically reasonable.
All in all, to put it simply, this is how powerful the phenomenal web drama is.
On the other hand, for Yu Xiaoshu, he believes that the online drama "The Beginning" has achieved the goal it should achieve, and there is no need to overthink about it next.
As the ratings for the TV station's first broadcast continue to rise, the one who truly gains the most benefits is the protagonist.
It can be said that Yang Xuecai has now become a popular actress thanks to the role of Li Shiqing. The competition among actresses has always been fierce, no matter what age group they are in.
Like Li Shiqing, she belongs to the group of people in their 20s. There are actually quite a lot of actors in this group, and many child stars are also in this stage.
The competition in the entertainment industry is brutal, and let’s put it this way, there’s only one position for each person. If you appoint someone to play the leading female role, then naturally there will be no chance for others.
Just like Li Shiqing’s roommates, the premise of their good relationship before was that there was no competition between them. However, when they found out that Yang Xuecai was a competitor, their relationship changed.
If this is the case with my roommate, what about other competitors?
Yang Xuecai is now an employee of Baiqian Media. At the same time, due to the success of "Beginning", Yang Xuecai has been receiving many invitations, but Yu Xiaoshu has asked Yang Xuecai to turn them down for the time being.
The reason is very simple. What Yang Xuecai needs now is to study.
Acting skills can be improved slowly.
But for actors, the most important thing, or what they fight for in the end, is culture.
In this case, if there is no role, all Yang Xuecai needs to do is go to school honestly.
Of course, I definitely can’t live in the school dormitory anymore.
Yu Xiaoshu always thinks the worst of others. Just look at Yang Xuecai's roommates. He knows what kind of people they are without even thinking about it.
Why did Yu Xiaoshu pick him up after Yang Xuecai played the role in "The Beginning"? ?
Isn’t it because Yu Xiaoshu is worried about other people?
It's ok now.
Yang Xuecai attends classes at school, but usually she lives in the dormitory arranged by the company.
Because Yu Xiaoshu made such perfect arrangements for Yang Xuecai, many people couldn't help but say that Yu Xiaoshu must have been supporting Yang Xuecai.
Yu Xiaoshu was too lazy to explain this.
He just felt that Yang Xuecai was worth training.
That's all.
Nowadays, there are more and more things about Yu Xiaoshu's arrogance on the Internet. What does Yu Xiaoshu know about Chinese animation? What so-called Chinese animation is he going to shoot? ?
Not only that, some people think that Yu Xiaoshu is a typical example of someone who is about to do something wrong again.
Because many people think that Yu Xiaoshu is always like this. After one wave of success, he will definitely do it again in the next wave.
Everyone is used to it.
But let’s be honest.
However, many people do not think so about Yu Xiaoshu's actions this time.
What counts as?
Yu Xiaoshu is really injecting strength into Chinese animation. You know, apart from You Zhihong, many people have already felt that Chinese animation is doomed, and other companies no longer provide any so-called support for Chinese animation.
But Yu Xiaoshu then bought all the copyrights of "Journey to the West". At the same time, he wanted to make an animated film. Yu Xiaoshu believed that animated films should be made and should be suitable for all ages. Then, he not only wanted to make animated films, but also animated movies.
This animated film is "The Return of the Great Sage".
For Yu Xiaoshu, "The Return of the Great Sage" truly ignited endless confidence in Chinese animation, and this animated film really told everyone that Chinese animation will not die.
Almost most people have been fans of "The Return of the Great Sage".
After all, this was a successful counterattack achieved step by step.
When "The Return of the Great Sage" was first released, many people did not approve of it. They all felt that Chinese animation was really not good enough, and even the IP of "Journey to the West" had no new ideas at all. So was it necessary to watch it again? ?
The result, you look again.
The records created by the animated film "The Return of the Great Sage" are broken one after another.
It was because of the success of the animated film "The Return of the Great Sage" that a series of subsequent films and "Ne Zha" were produced.
This movie can be said to have truly set a new record for Chinese animation. More importantly, it is a phenomenal movie, and it has brought a new turning point to the so-called film and television winter in 2019.
At that time, many people felt that 2019 was a cold winter for the film and television industry, and many people believed that the future would get better and better, and even thought that the film market would shine in 2020.
Then, in 2020, 2021, and 2022, these three years have allowed everyone to see what a cold winter for the film and television industry is.
It’s the time and it’s the fate.
In Yu Xiaoshu's opinion, the development of Chinese animation needs to be gradual and he is not in a hurry.
He first developed the IP of "Journey to the West".
Once this IP becomes really big and strong, some subsequent IPs will come in handy.
In the blink of an eye, the first episode of "Journey to the West" has been on the market for more than half a month, and today the second episode of "Journey to the West" is also on the market.
In this episode, Tang Seng comes out.
At the same time, Sun Wukong began to follow Tang Monk to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, followed by Xiao Bailong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng.
The four-member pilgrim team plus a horse are officially in place.
Tang Seng's three disciples naturally have very different personalities, and the character of Zhu Bajie is especially interesting to everyone.
This chapter about Gao Laozhuang is really full of funny moments.
As for Sha Seng, he is the type who is willing to work hard and never complain.
No matter what, this second episode is still quite interesting to watch.
After all, in addition to accepting disciples, there are many stories told in this episode. There is a story behind each disciple, as well as the monsters encountered.
The second volume sold nearly 1 million copies on the first day, which is a record-breaking sales volume.
On Douhu, the score of "Journey to the West" directly reached 9.9 points.
Yes.
This is an extremely exaggerated score. Generally speaking, a book with a score of 9 is considered a masterpiece, but "Journey to the West" has almost a full score.
After so many years of fantasy novels, a leading figure finally emerges.
When the physical version of Journey to the West was published, the first season of the animated series Havoc in Heaven was basically completed.
Because Baiqian Media has a large number of people, there is naturally more work to do.
What’s more crucial is that before, October Culture had a headache when doing post-production. After all, they had to find a special effects company, and many special effects companies charged very high prices.
But Baiqian Media doesn’t have this worry because they have their own special effects company, and this special effects company is quite awesome.
Then, naturally you will get twice the result with half the effort.
At the same time, Zhang Chao and his colleagues in the editing department also witnessed Yu Xiaoshu's amazing editing skills.
The first season of "Journey to the West" - "Havoc in Heaven" has a total of 6 episodes, from the birth of the Monkey King to his being pressed under the Five Finger Mountain.
Each episode is 30 minutes long.
Be it Zhou Ming, Zhang Chao, or other people brought by October Culture, they finally understood what it meant to do things in one go.
What is the most important thing?
It's a great feeling when everyone works together and puts all their energy into one.
Before, they all thought it was impossible to complete a cartoon in just half a month, after all, the special effects were quite troublesome to produce.
result.
Who would have expected that?
After all, Baiqian Media had already gotten used to it.
They are always good at doing this kind of thing.
Zhou Ming, Zhang Chao and others were also completely convinced.
The other people from October Culture also fell silent.
How could Yu Xiaoshu act on impulse?
This family had been preparing for this a long time ago.
At the same time, Yu Xiaoshu was talking to Zhou Ming about another matter today.
"Take a look at this script outline first."
Yu Xiaoshu said as he gave Zhou Ming the outline of "The Return of the Great Sage".
The Return of the Great Sage? ?
Zhou Ming was a little surprised when he saw the name of the script.
Of course, he continued to read on.
Script outline: Four hundred years after the havoc in Heaven, the Monkey King has become a legend. In the city of Chang'an where mountain monsters are rampant, the orphan Jiang Liu'er and the wandering monk Fa Ming depend on each other for survival. The young boy often yearns for the Monkey King who caused havoc in Heaven.
One day, a mountain monster came to rob young boys and girls. Jiang Liuer saved a little girl, which caused the monster to chase him. He escaped all the way and ran into the Five Elements Mountain, where he accidentally released the seal on Sun Wukong.
After becoming free, Sun Wukong only wanted to return to Huaguo Mountain, but the seal on his wrist had not been removed, and he owed Jiang Liu'er a favor, so he reluctantly escorted him back to Chang'an City.
Along the way, Bajie and the White Dragon Horse also appeared due to fate, but they were either down and out or possessed by evil spirits, and were no longer heroes.
…
Zhou Ming understood the script outline after reading half of it.
This is the story of Jiang Liuer and Sun Wukong.
And it has been adapted.
You should know that Tang Seng appears as a master in "Journey to the West", and then he appears with his real name Jiang Liuer in "The Return of the Great Sage". At the same time, he is still just a child.
Quite interesting.
Zhou Ming spent an hour and finally sorted out the relationships between the characters.
This is indeed a bold adaptation.
But to be honest, this story is quite interesting.
It turns out that The Return of the Great Sage is such a return.
So the question is, could this also be made into an animated film? ?
Zhou Ming looked at Yu Xiaoshu: "Teacher Yu, what do you mean?"
Yu Xiaoshu said, "The first season of the animated series Journey to the West will be aired soon. I believe that we will be loved by many people. In this case, we will not shoot the second season for the time being. Let's wait for the first season to ferment for a while. Your top priority now is to shoot The Return of the Great Sage, because I expect it to be released during the Lunar New Year holiday this year."
"This year's Lunar New Year movie?"
Zhou Ming was shocked: "Teacher Yu, so fast?"
Yu Xiaoshu laughed. "Is it fast? I don't think it's fast at all. You have to know that the physical books of Journey to the West have all been published, and they will all be on the market next month. At this time, I think Journey to the West can be promoted with the physical books, but the strength is definitely not enough. So, what else can we do?"
Zhou Ming knew this: "Didn't you say that we also need to make some peripherals???"
"Yes, we will definitely make peripheral products for Journey to the West. However, I think none of these peripheral products are as interesting as those for The Return of the Great Sage. Please take a look at the script first. I will draw this character for you in the next few days."
Yu Xiaoshu thought for a moment and said, "You should talk to the others first. We are going to make an animated film for the Lunar New Year holiday. It's about Journey to the West."
As soon as Zhou Ming heard Yu Xiaoshu's words, he understood.
This is for external publicity.
But if you think about it, you will know.
The last publicity campaign has already yielded results.
Basically, many people are talking about how arrogant Yu Xiaoshu is and how bad he is.
After all, it is not that easy to make a cartoon? ?
As a result, only half a month has passed and Yu Xiaoshu actually said that he wanted to shoot an animated film, and he wanted it to be released during the Lunar New Year holiday.
This is interesting.
Among the three animated films currently produced by Dongyi Film and Television, one is released during the National Day holiday and one is released during the New Year holiday.
Because the animated films in the Lunar New Year period last year were basically wiped out, many animated film companies basically dare not go for the Lunar New Year period again.
The reason is very simple.
They thought it would definitely flop even if it was released during the Lunar New Year holiday.
In that case, then you might as well not go.
So, originally there was only one animation film called Toei during the Lunar New Year period this year.
But now?
It seems that Baiqian Media is also going to enter the Lunar New Year period? ?
Or is it the fucking "Journey to the West"? ?
When seeing this revelation, many people's first reaction was disbelief.
That's right.
No one believed it.
"I don't think Baiqian Media has such strength. You know, up to now, Baiqian Media's animations are all centered around Journey to the West. The first season hasn't been finished yet. Didn't they say that the first season would be aired? Now the first season hasn't even started airing, and they're going to shoot another movie right after that?"
"How much trust does Baiqian Media have in Journey to the West? Not only is it making an animated film, it's also making an animated movie, and it's also going to hit the Lunar New Year box office?"
"I don't know what you think, but I think this is a little bit abnormal?"
"It's not abnormal, it's fucking abnormal."
…
Just like that, many people jumped out.
Everyone is here to enjoy the show, and while doing so, they discuss the topic.
Tell me, what does Baiqian Media want to do?
You Zhihong didn’t understand, and neither did Dongyi Film and Television.
On the contrary, Su Qing understood a little bit.
She knew what Yu Xiaoshu was going to do.
It's very simple, just do it in one go.
While it's hot, smash out all the drama.
