Chapter 303 Forget It, Just Pretend to Be Dead

In the evening, Chen Xiao arrived at the hotel.

He put down his suitcase, sat on the sofa and took out his phone.

I posted food at midnight last night, and fans should have cried out in grief, right?

Hehe, I just like to see you guys depressed.

Chen Xiao clicked on the comment section of the latest dynamics and took a look, and the smile froze on his face instantly.

What the hell is this comment with the highest praise?

He is kind?

Dylan left a lot of suspense to the readers. He never does this?

And what about "What a kind person? Don't you feel guilty?"

Huh?

This thing actually has 70,000 likes? !

What the hell?

What's going on? What are they going to do?

There are really cunning people who want to harm me!

Chen Xiao put down his phone and rubbed his temples.

Ah, I remember.

According to the publicity plan, the publishing house announced today that it would hold a reader meeting.

He just wanted to open up the market under a pen name, why did it turn out like this? Why would fans compare him with Dylan?

Comparison is fine, but I feel sorry for him and kick Dylan by the way.

Who are you kicking? You kicked me!

Damn, what should I do?

Chen Xiao picked up his phone and looked at the comment that shouted at the top of his lungs that "he is kind, he doesn't get stuck, and doesn't keep readers hanging", with a complicated expression.

Damn, it's really been a long time since I went online, the sky is falling.

Suddenly I don't know how to face the second half of the year...

It's the Legend of Zhen Huan again, and Dylan's identity again.

What should I do?

Is his personality going to collapse in the second half of the year?

Chen Xiao lay on the sofa, looking at the ceiling and thinking for a moment.

There are probably two ways.

One is to pass the buck, and the other is to play dead.

Don't take the initiative, don't refuse, don't promise, don't take responsibility.

Then, when the enemy comes, the general will stop the water.

That's it, no matter.

After making this decision, Chen Xiao got up from the sofa, opened the suitcase, and began to pack his luggage.

After dinner, he held the tablet, half lying on the sofa, and simply sorted out the next plan.

Return to the capital on March 5 to attend the online reader meeting.

Then go to the company.

The film department is quite busy. While shooting short films, the minister and other leaders have already started to formulate the preparation plan for the movie version of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" and contacted the marketing department to formulate a series of market strategies.

The TV series department is busy with "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the network business department is shooting a rustic short drama, and the real-life entertainment department is busy like a spinning top.

But the animation and animation department is a bit idle. They made a short film last year. This year, they should do a big job.

It just so happens that the system's task is still short of a movie.

The current task of the system is: to help others make 3 movies or TV series with a duration of more than 1 hour, but he cannot serve as the chief director or deputy director.

One is "The Legend of Zhen Huan", one is "The Grand Budapest Hotel", and the last one is for the animation and animation department.

What to shoot?

According to the Spring Festival, this year there are only two movies, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".

Wait, where is his body?

These two are not very sharp.

There are still a few days before returning to the capital, I have to think carefully and choose a movie that can make people sharp.

After arranging the company's affairs, I will stroll around the country again.

Going abroad in April, mainly visiting natural scenery and cultural heritage. The first stop is the Arctic.

In May, go to see Chazelle.

There are three things to find Chazelle.

First, go and see how the filming of "The Grand Budapest Hotel" is going.

Second, find actors.

Like "The Truman Show", in order to make it more acceptable to international audiences, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" will use a large number of mixed-race actors and foreign actors.

Third, the theme park.

After "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is adapted into a film and television, a theme park must be built.

In China, the company currently has two theme parks in Qiongzhou and Shandong Province. It is planning to build a third theme park in Shanghai.

These theme parks are not cheap.

Taoyuan Island and Traditional Culture Theme Park are okay. The site selection already has a tourism industry, and the theme park is transformed on that basis.

But like the third one, Shanghai's Dongchuan Resort, the planned area is very large, and the final plan is to build a resort covering an area of ​​3.5 square kilometers. It is about the same size as Shanghai's Disney Resort.

The resort includes a town, a hotel, a 1 square kilometer theme park and other areas. Among them, the theme park is divided into a traditional cultural theme part and a non-traditional part, and each part contains multiple theme parks.

Therefore, the investment required is very high. The total investment planned for this year and next year is 22 billion. Among them, 10.3 billion in the first year will be used to build some areas first.

According to the estimates of financial personnel, considering the continuous emergence of popular IPs in Dongchuan, the average annual income in the first five years should be about 1.3 times that of Shanghai Disneyland. That is, an average of 10.4 billion per year.

In other words, this is not like a movie, which recovers funds in the short term. It is an industry that makes money in the long term.

Of course, the investment is not all made by Oriental Media.

Each theme park is established in a joint venture with other companies. For example, Taoyuan Island Theme Park is a joint venture with a travel company. The theme park in Shandong Province is a joint venture with a state-owned enterprise in Shandong Province.

It can share risks and utilize the other party's local resources.

But the real-life entertainment business cannot stop at home.

Harry Potter is a hit and has high sustainability.

In the next few years, theme parks will definitely be built in many countries around the world. This can not only make money, but also be beneficial to Oriental Media's overseas expansion.

However, whether in terms of funds, policies, or resources, building a theme park abroad with full capital is not a good choice.

Anyway, if you have to find someone to cooperate with, of course you should choose someone you know.

Chazelle built a castle for "The Grand Budapest Hotel". It just happened to be used.

If he doesn't do it... forget it, I don't believe he won't do it.

After negotiating with him, I returned to China in mid-May to announce the news of preparing to shoot "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" and start work!

At that time, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was almost finished, and Fang Rong was pulled over to prepare for the shooting.

In July, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was released.

Try to start shooting in July, shoot for four months, and finish it in early November.

Let's release it on January 1st, which is basically a holiday in various countries.

With the subsequent plot of Harry Potter in hand, it is estimated that the theater chain will not dare to put other works of Oriental Media into the cold palace.

Oh... I sat on the plane for a long time and thought for a while. I'm a little tired.

Go find big plate chicken and lamb skewers to replenish my brain.

I ate these at night not because I was greedy, but because those who eat food are heroes, and eating brings good luck.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao yawned and walked out of the room.

——

An explanation of the setting:

In the original work of "Harry Potter", the story takes place in Eagle Country. In fact, we don't pay much attention to this when reading the original work, but in order to fix the bug, add a setting:

In the version published by the novel world, the place name is fictional. In this way, the filming location is the most attractive place for fans.

Just read it as the original work, and the text will not mention this. This explanation is to fix the logical bug.

However, if there are too many words to fix the bug, it will distract the fun and laugh points and affect the reading experience. It's almost 700,000 words, and everyone is familiar with it. I will try not to write this kind of content in the future.

If there are small bugs, everyone throws away your brain and reads (ˊᗜˋ*) Mua!
