Chapter 1262 Competition Is Good

"Boss, I actually understand," Chen Qing nodded, and said, "However, just last year, Daenerys Entertainment accounted for three of the top ten Korean movies. I don't think it's necessary to activate the Korean market too early?"

"If the cultural nation-building plan I gave you is successfully implemented in South Korea next year, plus the film censorship system shifts to a rating system, oh, and last year's 146-day quota system, even without us, the Korean film market will be reactivated. So, according to a Chinese idiom, this is our last chance to occupy the magpie's nest."

Said that the dove occupies the magpie's nest, Simon changed his Chinese, and a little girl who was ignorant in his arms raised his face again to look over, and then his forehead was tapped again by Simon's chin.

The girl smiled and shrank her head again.

With Simon's explanation, Chen Qing had no objection, and just said: "But, boss, we are not familiar with Korea. What kind of blockbuster should we make? We can't play Korean martial arts in ancient costumes like "Heroes" Bar?"

"of course not."

Simon recalled the 1999 South Korean box-office hit "Life and Death", recently read the script sent by Chen Qing, and saw a few familiar names, but unfortunately there is no Jiang Digui, probably because of his big butterfly.

In addition, it may also be the influence of language and characters.

Just like the two familiar Korean filmmakers that Simon discovered, one is the famous Bong Joon-ho, and the other is Hong Sang-soo, a famous Korean literary film director. Recognizing who they are, Simon was able to identify the two because he saw the names of the two scripts.

Bong Joon-ho's "Kidnapping the Door Dog" and Hong Sang-soo's "The Day a Pig Fell into the Well" happened to be films that Simon had seen, and they were both directors' debut feature films.

Simon was neither surprised nor surprised that the two projects were not fanned out.

Different from Jiang Digui's standard Hollywood template "Life and Death", the two small projects of Feng Hong and his wife are obviously ideas that have been brewing for a long time. For example, "Parasite", which later allowed Bong Joon-ho to win the Oscar, was the idea that the other party came up with when he was a tutor when he was in school decades ago. There is also Hong Sang-soo's "The Day the Pig Fell into the Well". Just looking at the name, it is the result of careful consideration. It should also be brewed for many years. Hong Sang-soo became famous with this film, and the subsequent films did not have such a unique name. .

After a little thought, Simon quickly continued and said to Chen Qing: "In Hollywood, Harrison Ford and Sean Connery once starred in a trilogy of pursuits against the background of the US-Soviet hegemony, "The Hunt for Red October", " Patriot Games and Crimson Tide, you can use this as a template, let’s take a test, what do you think of?”

Chen Qing had an idea, and immediately said: "The U.S.-Soviet struggle for hegemony must correspond to a confrontation between South Korea and North Korea?"

"Smart," Simon patted the girl in his arms, Xiao Nizi meowed very cooperatively, and continued: "The box office of the Chasing Trilogy is very good, because the end of the Cold War is not long, whether it is North America or Europe It is easy to resonate with audiences. This is the key, choose the confrontation between South Korea and North Korea as the background, and produce a similar project, first of all, it can resonate with Korean audiences, so as to ensure the greatest success rate.”

Chen Qing listened carefully, and occasionally wrote down a few notes in the memo in front of her. After Simon finished speaking, she asked: "Boss, what about the specific plot, can you give me an idea?"

"As I said just now, it is similar to the pursuit trilogy, espionage themes, hunting and anti-hunting, and then refer to some real events that happened in the history of the confrontation between South Korea and North Korea, such as the North Korean special forces attacking the Blue House. In view of South Korea and the United States The difference between Su is that one hero and heroine can be set as an agent of the South Korean security department, and the other is a female spy of North Korea. The drama tension is immediately created, and some tortures of human nature are added, and there are more important explosions, gun battles, Car chases, all kinds of things, and finally integrated with the Hollywood template, a blockbuster that can resonate with Koreans and doesn’t lack big scenes is released.”

Simon has watched "The Spy", and to put it bluntly, just like Jiang Digui's later "Tai Chi Flag Flying" which refers to "Saving Private Ryan", it is a standard Hollywood template, so I don't bother to go into too much detail.

However, just this simple sketch, Chen Qing has grasped the key point.

The male and female protagonists who fall in love and kill each other, Hollywood-style big scenes, and the resonant background of the confrontation between South Korea and North Korea... If such a project is made, as long as it is not too bad, it will be easy to attract phenomenal attention in South Korea. After all, it has been too many years since South Korea has had an influential big-budget movie.

After Simon finished speaking, Chen Qing once again showed a sincere expression of admiration: "Boss, you are really amazing."

"Hmm, I'm numb to the compliments you Earthlings have."

Chen Qing laughed: "Boss, I will find someone to write scripts according to your idea as soon as possible. By the way, do you have any projects selected by the boss for those scripts?"

Simon nodded, skillfully selected from the computer, and sent an email to Chen Qing.

Chen Qing over there opened the email, browsed through it, and opened her mouth slightly in surprise: "Boss, there are so many of them?"

"Counting the blockbuster we just discussed, it will be produced according to the budget of 10 million US dollars. In addition, you will add two more, so you can make up ten."

Chen Qing nodded, and in a blink of an eye she felt pitiful again: "Boss, you are not so generous in China."

Simon said: "China is just playing tickets, and South Korea is doing business to make money."

This is the truth.

Of course, there are still some things left unsaid.

I actually talked about it just now, as the environment changes,

South Korea's local film industry will soon recover and explode, so this is the last chance for the Westeros system to occupy the magpie's nest. Moreover, compared with China, where Simon wants to restrain himself as much as possible, South Korea doesn't need to have too many scruples at all.

Can be left hand dry.

Again, for South Korea, Simon's role is that of a conqueror.

Simon didn't say much, but Chen Qing on the other side showed a clear expression, and also didn't say any more, looked at Simon's email again, made a little distinction, and quickly said: "Boss, you really dote on Tae Hee." , out of the seven projects, she took four of them by herself, "Kidnapping the Door Dog", "The Day a Pig Fell into the Well", "Rose Flowers and Red Lotus", and "Girls' High School Strange Talk". The last two are horror films, I also think Not bad. The first two... Boss, I actually think they are average, even if they take the prize-winning route, they probably won’t have very good results.”

Simon didn't explain much about it.

In fact, he himself was a little surprised, why there were these four scripts in his memory in the project sent by Cheng Taexi.

The first two projects are worth investing in based on the later achievements of the main creators. As for the box office, it doesn’t matter, after all, the budget is only about 500,000 US dollars. The latter two are famous, "Rose Flower and Red Lotus", adapted from the Korean classic strange talk book "Rose Flower and Red Lotus", was once one of the most popular horror films in Korea.

As for "Girls' Tale", it is a long-term series that has lasted for 20 years, and this alone shows the potential of the project.

Simon didn't pay attention to the specific situation, but it's not surprising that Cheng Tae-hee was able to select these projects.

With the great name of Daenerys Entertainment on his back, the scripts or filmmakers who can be recommended to Cheng Tae-hee, either have connections or potential, are not too bad at all.

Moreover, Cheng Tae-hee could receive far more script submissions than other grassroots teams. After screening them out and sending them to Simon, Simon directly searched for them based on his memory and easily selected four projects that he had an impression of.

Let's talk about the other three of the seven scripts, one comedy, one costume, and one nc-17, this time it is no longer a movie in memory.

Overall, the types are pretty even.

After all, even at the current stage, South Korea’s movies are already very open. The censorship system will be lifted next year. As long as the themes are not too shocking, they can basically enter the theaters, and there will be no burning of large sums of investment. status.

Therefore, it is necessary to try various things and develop in a balanced manner.

Thinking of this, Simon continued to say to Chen Qing: "In addition, in the general direction, the Korean film company we support can imitate the layout of the three labels under Daenerys Entertainment, Daenerys, New World and Gaomen, one To produce mainstream blockbusters, one focuses on mid-to-low-cost genre films, and the other focuses on winning awards. Of course, it’s still about cultivating Gu, those companies let them develop on their own, and whoever does well will give more support.”

Chen Qing wrote it down again, and seeing that things were about the same, she said, "Boss, when will you come to Seoul to play? It's very lively here recently, there are also trainee selections, many beautiful girls, and these movies, do you want to come to Seoul?" Choose the actress yourself?"

Simon clicked his chin again. Miu Miao, who obviously understood these things and looked up again, provoked the little girl to meow, and said with a smile, "It depends."

Then we chatted about some trivial matters, hung up the line, and Simon directly operated the computer to download and install the "Counter-Strike OL" that was just launched today from the Daenerys game store, and said to the girl in his arms: "Are you sleepy, how about we play game?"

"Okay, Dad," the girl suddenly became interested, and complained: "Mom usually doesn't let me play games."

"How can this work, I will teach her a lesson later."

Immediately, Miu Miu blushed again, the girl was out of ignorance, and probably knew what the lesson Simon said might be.

The game installs quickly.

Simon casually logged in and entered the interface, but he didn't start directly. After creating a character at random, he looked around and quickly clicked on a list.

list.

There must be a list.

This is one thing Simon insisted on during the development process.

It also includes a check-in system, military rank system, and task system. Although the game is a direct buyout, players can still obtain some special props through these.

These are actually effective ways to increase user stickiness.

In the era of online games, no matter how the charging method is, popularity is fundamental. When there are more people playing, it is easy to produce the Matthew effect, making more and more users.

It has to be said that the development team did a pretty good job of enforcing Simon's will.

At this stage, there are only two types of classic blasting mode and team competition with five maps for the time being, but the team has made a full 10 lists, which are divided into overall list, monthly list and weekly list.

Looking at the data, the players are very active. Among them, the most simple and direct head list counts the total number of kills in all gameplays. Since the game was officially launched at 9 o'clock this morning, in 12 hours, someone has already completed 1700 kills. , and the ranking of 100 people on the first page is at least 1000 kills or more, which shows how fierce the competition is.

Good competition.

However, Simon quickly thought of cheating, quit the game temporarily, and sent an email to Nancy Brill, asking her to pay special attention to this issue.

Gaming experience is important.

This point must be paid special attention to. Such an excellent start cannot be ruined by plug-ins.

Simon also talked to Nancy about the suggestion of a special cheat server in a wicked way. The guy who opens the cheat is all stuffed into a server, and then

Just go to cultivate immortals, as long as it doesn't affect the experience of the public players, and, at the right time, this operation can also be used as a publicity stunt.
