Chapter 666 666. Warcraft TV series? !
As soon as he heard that the recording was going to be done this weekend, Cao Yang immediately became excited, "Then I..."
"No, don't!" Ai Xiaomi quickly interrupted him.
"I haven't said anything yet." Cao Yang wondered.
"Don't you just want to see the scene? No." Ai Xiaomi said seriously, "How bad is it to have your own boss sitting down there?"
Hum.
Cao Yang glared at her hard.
This guy was obviously afraid that Cao Yang would reveal some dirty information and embarrassing things about her.
But think about it, forget it, as long as Ai Xiaomi and Zhuang Yurou can stand on the stage, then the two beauties will appear together, which will be another wave of good publicity for Bomi Company.
Maybe in the future recruitment, more and more beauties will want to come in.
In that case, Liu Guangran's problem will be solved.
I'm such a genius.
Liu Guangran has been complaining to Cao Yang for many years, and now he seems to be giving up. He doesn't mention Miss Sister much recently.
So we have to give them a little life.
"Oh, by the way, how is the progress of the "Resurrection of Leslie Cheung" movie now? I think it's almost the end of the year. You should have been filming for a while, right?"
"Yes." Ai Xiaomi sat upright and nodded seriously.
"We finished filming in August and are now in post-production."
Speaking of movies, Ai Xiaomi's face showed a happy look.
"Boss, it's really a pity that you didn't go to the set. You don't even know how many big names were invited to this movie. Many stars were on the set, and you could see their performances.
What about Jacky Cheung, Brigitte Lin..."
Ai Xiaomi counted them carefully with her fingers, as if she were counting treasures from home. When she talked about these celebrities, her face was filled with a color of incomparable happiness.
With so many stars, if any one of them could go to the set, they would definitely be happy.
This is probably the only movie that brings so many big names together for the first time in so many years, right?
Well…
It seems like it's really a loss.
There are so many celebrities that Cao Yang likes very much.
It can be imagined how powerful the cast of the movie that resurrected Leslie Cheung was.
"The progress of post-production is also very satisfactory," Ai Xiaomi said happily. "The protagonist we hired this time is really amazing. His acting skills are really impeccable. He plays the role of brother and he is really vivid, from his body to his body. The expressions are very similar.
Oh, there is a big difference in facial features, but I have seen the post-production content, and it is basically invisible after AI face-changing.
This technology is really powerful and really easy to use. "
Cao Yang chuckled, handed the tea cup to Ai Xiaomi, and said with a smile, "Then have you ever thought about using AI face-changing in other places in the future?"
"Of course I have thought about it," Ai Xiaomi said excitedly, "I still have many great ambitions that have not been realized. Boss, do you want to hear me talk about my script?"
She held her head high, holding Boss Cao's teacup in both hands, looking at Cao Yang with her big watery eyes, ready to tell him about her great ambitions.
Cao Yang smiled slightly, "I don't think about it yet."
"puff…"
Ai Xiaomi almost choked on her mouthful of water.
After doing it for a long time, you actually have no interest at all. Isn't it too shocking?
So why is there so much foreshadowing?
"Have you ever seen Avatar?" Cao Yang continued to ask.
"Boss, aren't you asking questions knowingly? You have forgotten that I watched it with Yurou before." Ai Xiaomi pouted.
"My idea is to apply AI face-changing to movies like Avatar." Cao Yang guided step by step.
"Hey?! Boss, your idea is exactly the same as mine. I think so too." Ai Xiaomi immediately became excited.
"Boss, I wanted to tell you this before. My script looks like this..."
"I want you to find someone to film the Warcraft TV series." Cao Yang said.
Before Ai Xiaomi finished speaking, her words were stuck in her throat and she was holding them back.
Then his eyes widened and he looked at Boss Cao with an incredible expression.
"Huh? What? What kind of Warcraft TV show?"
Yes, Cao Yang came to Li Lanyun and Ai Xiaomi today. The main purpose was to implement the future derivatives of the Warcraft IP.
If it is not used, the IP of Warcraft will be too wasteful.
Warcraft is still only in the game now, but Cao Yang has already had the idea of turning Warcraft into a movie.
This idea has become stronger and stronger recently.
It was also Cao Yang who figured this out himself before—
We can not only go from literature to movies, from literature to games, or from movies to games, but also vice versa.
If the game has achieved enough success, and a game like World of Warcraft has accumulated a lot of players and fans around the world, such a world-class IP can be fully adapted into a film and television.
"I not only want to make Warcraft into a TV series, but also into a 3D movie in the future." Cao Yang expressed his thoughts.
Until now, Ai Xiaomi's mind has just turned a corner.
"Want to make a TV series about Warcraft?"
Oh my God…
Ai Xiaomi covered her mouth in shock, silently assessing the difficulty of such a TV series.
She used to often play World of Warcraft with Boss Cao and many celebrities, so Ai Xiaomi has a certain understanding of the world view and character plots of Warcraft. I can't say it is very in-depth, but at least some common sense and well-known knowledge Ai Xiaomi still knows the plot.
But it was hard for her to imagine what it would be like to make a TV series about Warcraft.
There is only one very vague idea in Ai Xiaomi's mind -
If Warcraft is to be filmed, it will definitely be very expensive.
To use the analogy of Avatar, it is not easy to use real people to perform and then use special effects to achieve the same level as Avatar in the later stage.
Ai Xiaomi had photographed Wandering Earth before, and she knew how difficult and painful the process was.
Although World of Warcraft itself already has the tone of many characters, and the art has presented relevant pictures to the players, there is definitely a big difference in actually making it into a live-action movie.
The number of models in World of Warcraft itself is relatively small, and the outlines do not look realistic enough. For example, the plate armor and the players' postures look very strange. If they are put into a live-action TV series, they must undergo major changes. , and we also need to find suitable actors and a makeup team that is good enough to carry out modifications. Bomi Company is doing post-production...
Only in this way is there a certain feasibility.
And almost the entire process must be shot in front of a green screen, which is a very strict requirement for both actors and directors.
Ai Xiaomi asked herself that she may not be qualified.
Maybe we should find some big international directors to do this.
However, when she heard Cao Yang's idea, she was actually very excited deep inside.
It is precisely because World of Warcraft is difficult that it is challenging.
More importantly, Warcraft is a global IP, well known by many players, and has many fans in Omi. If this TV series can be successfully filmed, it will definitely be a super masterpiece.
"But why make a TV series? If we make a TV series, wouldn't we lose blood?"
Ai Xiaomi asked strangely.
Because she did a rough calculation and didn't dare to think about it in detail. She could tell with her toes that the investment in this TV series must be an astronomical figure. No matter whether you hire actors, directors, shooting locations, props, makeup teams, post-production...
It is possible to make the Warcraft TV series a success only with the world's top configurations. Which one does not burn money?
In other words, which year does not burn a lot of money?
The most important thing is that in the domestic streaming media environment, if you actually make a TV series and put it online or sell it to a TV station, users may not necessarily pay, or it can be concluded that the cost will definitely not be recovered.
Loss of blood.
It must be blood loss.
"Boss..." Ai Xiaomi said aggrievedly, "I haven't made much money so far. Do I have to keep losing money to Bomi Films?"
This is too frustrating.
Ai Xiaomi feels that she has the least sense of accomplishment, or that she is the president of the department with the least ability to make money in the entire Bomi Group.
Now that she has managed to win back a victory with The Wandering Earth 2, her boss actually wants her to resume her job—
This guy looks like he's going to lose money.
Why are you filming this TV series that is so bloody?
"Of course I have my own reasons for letting you film it." Cao Yang smiled slightly and said to her, "Don't limit your sights to China. We are all going to film a world-class TV series IP like Warcraft. How can we only do it in China?" How about selling it domestically?”
Yes.
Boss Cao's words suddenly awakened Ai Xiaomi.
She hadn't realized this before.
In other words, because we have been working in the Chinese market for a long time, it is easy to subconsciously limit our thinking.
"Wow, boss, what do you mean..."
When Ai Xiaomi heard this, she couldn't imagine what would happen in the future.
Cao Yang chuckled, "Have you ever thought that I asked you to produce the Warcraft TV series, which is just an important process. In fact, we are going to be China's Netflix?"
"Huh?!" Ai Xiaomi was shocked.
Netflix can be said to be the largest video website in the world. There are many excellent and exclusive film and television resources on this website. Users need to pay to watch it. It also supports many film and television production companies.
Netflix is equivalent to the AIR game platform in the film and television industry, but the content they sell is different.
Before Boss Cao said he wanted to produce a Warcraft TV series, Ai Xiaomi or Xiao Ma didn't even dare to think that Bomi could become China's Netflix.
But after what Boss Cao said, Ai Xiaomi was deeply moved.
The Game of Thrones TV series has not yet started production. If Warcraft is released, it will become a hit right now.
This is what Cao Yang and Ai Xiaomi have been thinking about before, a great opportunity to become China's own Netflix.
As long as Warcraft can be good enough.
As for why Warcraft should be made into a TV series instead of a movie...
The main reason is that Cao Yang has watched the Warcraft movie in his previous life and has a deep understanding of the consequences if he makes a movie from the beginning.
The world view of Warcraft is too vast, involves many characters, and the various plots are intertwined and complicated. It is difficult for you to define the theme and main characters of this movie, and to display the story and characters perfectly.
Even a 4-hour movie is not enough to tell the tip of the iceberg of World of Warcraft.
The only way to make a TV series, like Game of Thrones, for more than ten seasons is to make it.
Moreover, as long as the Warcraft TV series is successful enough, because of its exclusivity, it is entirely possible to create a new video platform, and this video platform, just like the AIR game platform, is not only used domestically, but also an international platform. .
Thinking about it makes people feel excited.
This chapter is 666, which is really an auspicious number.
It's just the right place to stop.
No updates tonight.
Thank you all.
See you tomorrow. (End of this chapter)
