as expected.

Tiancheng Entertainment, the company behind Wei Sheng, saw that "Dangerous Couple" was a good topic, so it turned around and opened the promotion channels. Regardless of whether the time was advanced, Tiancheng was already prepared to increase the investment budget.

Speaking of which, the publicity is getting higher and higher now.

It seems that as Chinese movies ushered in a new era of box office explosion, this trend has become very obvious. Some movies have even reached 120 million in promotional expenses alone, which is enough to make another movie, but even Luo Yuan

It is undeniable that sometimes if the publicity and marketing is done well, even if the quality of the movie is not good enough, miracles can happen. For example, the third part of "Raiders of the Ex", in fact, the plot is not very good, it can only be said to be a mediocre work, but the result is that it relies on two

A song of excellent quality and the topic of "ex" being circulated in the circle of friends caused the movie to explode at the box office.

Of course, this life is different from the previous life.

The proportion of publicity and marketing in China's movies is not that exaggerated at present. When the blockbuster era officially arrives, maybe that situation will happen more frequently. Luo Yuan knows that in the future, the cost of movies and TV series will be several hundred million, which will become the norm in the industry. It does not mean that only

Only large entertainment companies can afford it. As long as those small and medium-sized entertainment companies have good capital management, there will be a lot of people willing to invest money in them.

Scarlet also cooperates in promoting "Dangerous Couple".

You must know that in addition to the temporary producer who received a small amount of money, Luo Yuan is also the screenwriter of "Dangerous Couple" and invested a lot of money, so it is not unreasonable to say that this movie is a rare collaboration between Luo Yuan and Wei Sheng

, this is probably why the audience buys it so much. Spending the price of a movie ticket to watch the works of two masters of light and shadow, you can make money no matter what you think...

Luo Yuan himself returned to normal work.

I usually write scripts, participate in the production of "Wall-E", and occasionally learn about the preparations for "Jurassic Park", which is quite enriching. Besides, I have a lot of odds and ends, such as

Gu Lang’s long-delayed plan to create a singer group

Don't blame Gu Lang for procrastinating on things.

In the past, many departments of the company were under the unified management of Gu Lang. In terms of the importance of the department, he would definitely focus on movies, followed by TV series. When it came to the singer department, Gu Lang rarely bothered to pay attention to it, so the singer department never got anything.

Effective expansion, if the singer department cannot be expanded, it will be somewhat deserted...

Anyway, various reasons have delayed Gu Lang until now.

Because recently Luo Yuan asked Gu Lang to change the company's management structure. Internal elections were carried out in conjunction with headhunting to hire a group of new leaders. Therefore, the singer department has a director who was promoted by an internal employee of Crimson. His name is Jixiang. From now on, singers

The department is headed by this minister called Ji Xiang.

Jixiang handed over the boy band application to Gu Lang.

Gu Lang turned around and showed Luo Yuan Jixiang's plan.

Previously, they just said that they wanted to create a male singer group, but they never specified the requirements. According to the content of the plan, Jixiang's suggestion was to break the precedent and create a fifteen-year-old boy group. As long as the basic conditions are OK, then

It will be developed through later training.

Luo Yuan was a little surprised.

You know, at this time, domestic singer groups are basically limited to two or three people, with no more than five people at most. Unexpectedly, Jixiang wants to create a boy group with fifteen singers. It is still not possible without giving consent.

Luo Yuan called Jixiang to his office for an interview.

Ji Xiang met Luo Yuan alone for the first time.

As one of the new leaders of Crimson, he is not too old. He looks like he is in his early thirties. He has curly hair, is of medium build, and wears black-rimmed glasses. The overall impression seems to be quite serious.

But in front of Luo Yuan, Ji Xiang couldn't help but feel nervous.

"I saw your plan."

Luo Yuan asked his assistant Zhao Rui to serve Jixiang a cup of tea, and then asked: "The domestic concept of groups is still in the model of three or two people. Why did you suddenly have a plan to create a fifteen-member boy band?"

"because……"

Jixiang seemed a little nervous: "I think... not everyone is strong in all aspects of personal strength... People who are not strong in all aspects can only combine with each other... to appear in front of the public with a stronger new look..."

Luo Yuan smiled and said: "Unity is strength."

Perhaps it was because Luo Yuan's smile was not sharp, and Jixiang's tone was slightly more relaxed: "Another reason is that Mr. Gu said that our company's economy is unstable... Sometimes there is too much money and no place to spend it... Sometimes it's...

There will be times when there is a serious financial crisis.”

Luo Yuan nodded: "The words are rough but the reasoning is not rough."

Jixiang's speech became smoother, at least he no longer stuttered: "Then I felt that for our company, promoting groups is cheaper, more profitable, and less risky. Although there are more people, it is easier for members to change.

We lose some fans, but usually at most one or two people leave, and the team structure is still there, so we don’t lose much, and it’s rare for members to leave.”

Luo Yuan nodded.

Jixiang took a sip of tea and continued: "The company will definitely accept a lot of trainees at the same time. Instead of waiting for the opportunity to debut one by one, it is better to make a group debut. The members are good at different aspects. It is quite easy to create a team that is good in all aspects."

It can also attract more fans, and as long as one person in the team becomes popular in the early stage, it can drive the entire team. At least the entire team will be known, and if some members are unavailable, such as filming, there will always be a combination

Only when other people are doing activities outside to increase their presence, people will always know that this team exists, and if an individual has a scandal, he may never be able to turn over on his own, but it is much easier to rely on the team."

Luo Yuan was speechless: "Your goal is an idol group."

Gu Lang was stunned for a moment, and then said awkwardly: "I think the fan economy is getting bigger and bigger now. Even if a writer makes his own movie or a bad movie, there are a lot of fans willing to pay, so this kind of group combination should attract fans

It would be easier, of course the most important thing is that they have to have works..."

"Your idea is fine."

Luo Yuandao: "But I hope to focus more on the works rather than other aspects. In addition, your ideas are not mature enough and you have not highlighted more core things. For example, the team must have someone with enough dancing ability to support the scene.

There must be a member whose singing skills are no worse than those of a solo singer, that is, the so-called dancing, high-pitched, good-looking, funny, etc. Members with different characteristics can meet the needs of different types of fans..."

I accidentally took out Bangzi’s group theory.

However, I have to admit that Bangzi is indeed world-class in terms of group building standards. In this world, Bangzi's group culture has not yet taken shape. If there is such a sudden rise in the country, it will definitely become popular.

The prerequisite is to have good works.

At this moment, Luo Yuan's mind has automatically replayed the classic mashup of countless boy groups from the past, such as Mayday, Xin Band, Supreme Lihe and Yuquan, Nanquan Mama Soda Green, Power Train Fahrenheit, Shuimunianhua Dongchengwei, etc. The goal is of course

, to create the strongest boy band in history?

Jixiang, on the other hand, was stunned.

Luo Yuan's theory of responsibility was something he had never thought of before.

Isn't this the character design that has become popular in the entertainment industry in recent years? I heard that the trend of character design was started by the boss in the name of a veteran cadre, and now this more refined character design operation has made Jixiang realize that Luo Yuan

He is definitely a master in the entertainment industry. Even if he is not a director, he is definitely terrible!

"Of course, in terms of number of people."
