"Boss, in fact, I understand," Chen Qing nodded and said, "but only last year, three of the top ten Korean movies were Daniels. I don't think it's necessary to activate the Korean market too early?"
"I'll give you the cultural nation building plan. If it is successfully implemented in South Korea next year, and the film censorship system turns to the classification system, oh, and last year's 146 day quota, even without us, the South Korean film market will be reactivated. So, according to a Chinese idiom, this is our last chance to occupy the nest. "
Speaking of jiuzhanquechao, Simon changed his Chinese. A little girl in her arms raised her face again and looked at it. Then Simon's chin touched her forehead again.
The girl smiles and shrinks her head again.
With Simon's explanation, Chen Qing had no objection, but said: "but, boss, we are not familiar with Korea. What kind of blockbuster bomb should we make? We can't make Korean ancient martial arts like hero, can we?"
"Of course not."
Simon thought of the Korean box office blockbuster "life and death spy" in 1999. Recently, he read the script sent by Chen Qing and found several familiar names. Unfortunately, there was no Jiang Digui, probably because of his big butterfly.
In addition, it may also be the influence of language.
For example, Simon found two familiar Korean filmmakers, one is the famous Feng Junhao, and the other is a famous Korean literary film director Hong Shangxiu. The reason why he recognized them was not because of their names. When Korean was translated into English, ghosts could recognize who they were. Simon determined them because he saw the names of the two plays.
Feng Junhao's "kidnapping the dog at the gate" and Hong Shangxiu's "the day the pig fell into the well" happen to be the films Simon once saw, and they are also the first long films of the two directors.
Simon was not surprised that these two projects were not lost.
It's obvious that the two projects are different from each other.
For example, parasite, which later made Feng Junhao the Oscar winner, was an idea created by him when he was a tutor at school decades ago. Hong Shangxiu's "the day when the pig fell into the well" only depends on the name, which is the result of careful consideration. It should also have been brewing for many years. Hong Shangxiu became famous by virtue of this film, and there is no such strange and charming name in subsequent films.
After a little consideration, Simon went on and said to Chen Qing: "in Hollywood, Harrison Ford and Sean Connery once played in a pursuit trilogy against the background of the US Soviet hegemony," hunting Red October "," patriot game "and" red tide storm ". You can use this as a template. What do you think of
Chen Qing immediately said, "the United States and the Soviet Union are competing for hegemony. What's corresponding is the confrontation between the two Koreas?"
"Smart," Simon photographed the girl in his arms, and the little girl mewed with cooperation, and continued: "the box office of the pursuit trilogy is very good, because the cold war is not long. It is easy for audiences in North America and Europe to resonate. This is the key. Choosing the confrontation between South Korea and North Korea as the background and making a similar project can first win the resonance of the South Korean audience, so as to ensure the success rate to the greatest extent. "
Chen Qing listened carefully and occasionally wrote down a few notes on the memo in front of her. When Simon finished, she asked, "boss, what's the specific plot? Can you give me an idea?"
"As I have just said, similar to the pursuit trilogy, spy theme, hunting and anti hunting, let's refer to some real events in the history of the confrontation between South Korea and North Korea, such as the attack of North Korean special forces on Tsing wa Tai. In view of the differences between South Korea and the United States and the Soviet Union, we can set the hero and heroine, one is an agent of the South Korean security department, and the other is a female spy of the North Korea. The tension of the drama immediately comes out, and then add some torture of human nature, and more importantly, explosions, gunfights, car chases, and so on. Finally, the Hollywood template is used to integrate the movie, which can resonate with the South Korean people, and there is no lack of it The big bombs are coming out. "
Simon has seen life and death spy. To put it bluntly, just like Jiang Digui's later Taiji flag flying, which referred to Saving Private Ryan, is a standard Hollywood template, so he is too lazy to elaborate.
However, just this simple sketch, Chen Qing has grasped the key.
The hero and heroine who fall in love and kill each other, the Hollywood scene, the resonance background of the confrontation between South Korea and North Korea If such a project is not too bad, it will be easy to attract phenomenal attention in South Korea. After all, there has not been an influential big movie in South Korea for too many years.

When Simon finished, Chen Qing once again showed her sincere expression of adoration: "boss, you are so powerful."
"Well, I'm numb to the praise of you earthlings."
Chen Qing laughed: "boss, I'll find someone to write scripts according to your ideas as soon as possible. By the way, do the boss have any selected projects for those scripts?"
Simon nodded, skillfully picked from the computer, and sent an email to Chen Qing.Chen Qing over there opened her e-mail and looked at it roughly. She opened her mouth slightly unexpectedly: "boss, seven departments, so many?"
"With the blockbuster bomb we just discussed, it's ready to be built on a $10 million budget. In addition, you can add two more and make up ten more. "
Chen Qing nodded her head. In a twinkling of an eye, she was a little pathetic: "boss, you are not so generous in China."
Simon said: "China is just playing with tickets. South Korea is doing business to make money."
That's the truth.
Of course, there are still some.
As I just mentioned, with the change of the environment, the local film industry in South Korea will soon recover and break out. Therefore, this is the last opportunity for the westero system to occupy the nest. Moreover, compared with China, where Simon wants to be as convergent as possible, South Korea does not need to have too many scruples.
You can let go.
Again, for Korea, Simon's role is conqueror.
Simon didn't say much, but Chen Qing on the other side showed a clear little expression, and also didn't say much.
Looking at Simon's e-mail again, Chen Qing quickly said, "boss, you are really a pet of Taixi. She takes up four of the seven projects," kidnap the dog at the gate "," the day when the pig fell into the well "," the red lotus of the rose "and" strange talk about the girl ". The last two are horror films, which I think are good. The first two Boss, in fact, I don't think that in general, even if we take the route of charging awards, we should have a good result. "
Simon didn't explain that much.
In fact, he was a bit surprised. In the project Cheng Taixi sent, why could there be these four plays that he remembered.
The first two projects are worth investing just by looking at the achievements of the main creator. As for the box office, it doesn't matter. After all, the budget is only about $500000. The latter two, however, are well-known, "the red lotus of the rose", adapted from the Korean classic strange story "the story of the red lotus of the rose", which was once one of the most popular horror films in South Korea.
As for "strange talk about women's high", it is a long-term series that has lasted for 20 years. Only this can show the potential of the project.
Simon didn't pay attention to the specific situation, but it's no surprise that Cheng Taixi was able to select these projects.
With Denise entertainment as a big name behind her back, the script or movie player that can be recommended to Cheng Taixi's eyes will not be too bad if she has contacts or potential.
What's more, Cheng Taixi was able to receive more scripts than other grass-roots teams. When he screened them out and sent them to Simon, Simon easily selected four scripts that had been impressive according to his memory.
This time, there's no more one script in the other three movies.
In general, the types are very uniform.
After all, even if the scale of Korean films is open at the present stage, it is already very large. Next year, the censorship system will be lifted. As long as the subjects are not too shocking, they will basically be able to enter the cinema. There will no longer be the situation that a large amount of investment will be burned, and the result that they can not be released will only be sealed up.
Therefore, we should try all kinds of ways to achieve balanced development.
With this in mind, Simon continued to say to Chen Qing: "in addition, in the general direction, the Korean film companies we support can imitate the layout of three brands of danielis entertainment. Danielis, new world and gaomen make mainstream blockbusters, one focuses on medium and low-cost movies, and the other focuses on prize charging. Of course, it's better to cultivate Gu. Those companies let them develop on their own, and those who do well will be given more support. "
Chen Qing wrote it down again. Seeing that everything was almost the same, she said, "boss, when will you come to Seoul to play? It's very busy here recently. There's also the selection of trainee students, many beautiful girls, and these movies. Boss, do you want to choose actresses in person?"
Simon chin again point, obviously understand these again look up Miao Miao, make the little girl meow, said with a smile: "it depends on the situation."
Then he talked about some trivial things, hung up the line, Simon directly operated the computer, downloaded and installed the "anti terrorist elite ol" from danielis game mall, and said to the girl in his arms, "are you sleepy, or shall we play games?"
"Good, Dad," the girl suddenly came to the interest, also complained: "mom usually don't let me play games."
"How can I do that? I'll teach her a lesson later."
When he was young, his face was red again. The girl was out of her ignorance. She probably knew what Simon's lesson might be.
The game was quickly installed.
Simon logged in and entered the interface, but he didn't start directly. After creating a character at will, he looked around and quickly made a list.
The list.
There must be a list.
This is one of the things Simon specifically told me during the development process.
In addition, it also includes check-in system, rank system and task system. Although the game is a direct buyout, players can still get some special props through these.
These are all effective ways to increase user stickiness.In the era of online games, no matter how the charging method is, popularity is fundamental. More people play, it is easy to produce Matthew effect, making more and more users.
It has to be said that the development team did a good job of executing Simon's will.
At this stage, there are only five maps of the classic blasting mode and team competition, but the team has made a full 10 lists, which are divided into general list, monthly list and weekly list.
Looking at the data, the players are very enthusiastic. The simplest and most direct one is the head list, which counts the total number of killing enemies in all playing methods. From 9 am this morning when the game was officially launched to now, in 12 hours, someone has finished 1700 killing, and the lowest ranking of 100 people on the first page is more than 1000. It shows how fierce the competition is.
Good competition.
However, Simon quickly thought of plug-ins, temporarily quit the game, and sent an email to Nancy Brill, asking her to pay special attention to this issue.
The game experience is important.
This must be paid special attention to, such an excellent start, can not be destroyed by plug-in.
Simon also talked to Nancy about the suggestion of special plug-in service. All the guys who open plug-ins can plug them into a server. They can go to the immortals at will, as long as they don't affect the experience of the public players. Moreover, at the right time, this operation can also be used as a publicity stunt.
