Chapter 1176： Inappropriate age

"So what do you need me to do?"

After figuring out Donna Lande's demands, Yang Cheng didn't get entangled, and directly asked what he had to do. Everyone should work together to compete with Disney for cakes.

Besides, the development of a new IP is a systematic work. In Hollywood, there is a complete and complex mechanism. Whether the same mechanism can be effective on the IP of country Z, no one knows, at least these years. There are very few successful IP movies about Country Z in Hollywood. I am afraid that only "Kung Fu Panda" can be called a success. The rest are just assembly line works that make quick money, and there is really no nutrition.

But no one can deny that country Z has unparalleled cultural accumulation and reserves of other countries in the world, and there are enough resource libraries that can be converted into series IP by film companies.

At present, the Journey to the West series, the Kyushu series, the Ghost Blowing the Lantern series, and the Tomb Raiders series are the largest IPs in the country Z movie market today. Some have achieved great success, while others have become synonymous with garbage. When many fans heard about a remake, the first reaction was a bad film.

The most successful is naturally "Journey to the West". Compared with the sky-high copyright fees of other well-known IPs, "Journey to the West" can be said to be the most valuable free IP lunch in the world.

All derivatives of this IP on the market now use Wu Chengen's original work as a framework for secondary creation.

In addition to the version of "Journey to the West" shot by Yang Ma in the 1980s, over the past thirty years, film and television works linked to this IP have emerged one after another, such as "A Brilliant Spring Pig", "Post-Journey to the West", and an animated version of "Journey to the West" Wait.

There is also the "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", which is known as the domestic animation of conscience. No matter how the mode changes, the stories are told over and over again by the four masters and apprentices, plus a batch of white dragon horses at most.

But it is this person plus 4 anthropomorphic animal characters that have created countless spiritual entertainment wealth for modern people, of course, more cash wealth.

In 2013, the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was 1.246 billion; in 2014, "Journey to the West: Harassment in Heaven" box office was 1.046 billion; in 2015, "Journey to the West: Three Attacks on the Bones" box office was 1.201 billion; "The box office is expected to start at 1 billion yuan.

So far, how many movies in country Z have grossed over 1 billion yuan? 2 Among them, a quarter or even a third of them are adapted from the theme of "Journey to the West", which shows the huge energy contained in this super IP with national cultural characteristics in the transformation of film and television.

In addition, the development of the game industry chain with the theme of Journey to the West is also the core industry where the IP generates commercial value. In the game industry, there are game developments related to "Journey to the West" every year, generating at least more than tens of billions of value.

According to experts, the output value created by Journey to the West will reach trillions in the future. I am afraid that when Wu Chengen wrote the book, he never expected that one day his book could become one of the largest gold mines in country Z.

Similarly, there are the series of ghost blowing lights and tomb robbery notes. These are all super IPs that are worthy of repeated development in all entertainment-related industries. If New Era Pictures wants to work hard in this area, it doesn’t have to make too many detours, just take the money to find it. Just come to your door.

But for those IP resources that are still in their infancy and have not even hatched, it is necessary to form a dedicated team to go to the mainland of Country Z and spend countless time, energy and money to find it. This is why Donna Lande found Yang Cheng. , She couldn't find anyone who knew country Z better than Yang Cheng.

However, Yang Cheng gave her a big surprise, "As for the development of IP resources in China, you and I thought of going together. In fact, as early as the year before last, I was in Country Z with Georgina Bloomberg and Amanda Hurst. I invested a sum of money, part of which is dedicated to IP reserves. Although I have rarely paid attention recently, I believe that the work there has already achieved results. You may wish to contact and see?"

Donna Lande was overjoyed, "This is why I love you~"

Yang Cheng shrugged. He knew that this was not a confession, it was just the emotional expression of the old beauty, but he still joked, "We are not at the right age."

Donna Lande hung up the phone speechlessly, Yang Cheng always showed her unreliable side at some point.

Putting away the phone, Yang Cheng raised Erlang's legs and said to Andrew, "Go to Hearst Building~"

I just mentioned Amanda. I haven’t seen an old friend for a long time. I’m free now. It’s not bad to have a cup of coffee in the past. As a result, he didn’t notice, but he ran away without any accident. Amanda was on a business trip in Europe. Can't come back in time.

Helpless Yang Cheng called his mother and prepared to invite her to have afternoon tea.

As a result, I was told that I was busy at the moment and had no time to go out. Yang Cheng was just about to say forget it, and my mother proposed to drink at the company.

Of course, it was not that she wanted to see her son when she was a mother. Instead, she told Yang Cheng to run errands, go to the hotel and move the afternoon tea to the company for her, because Yang Cheng’s proposal evoked her selfie*.

No way, Yang Cheng can only accept his fate as a running errand brother, and ran to the hotel opposite the Apple flagship store on Fifth Avenue, and packed the tea set with afternoon tea to the LV flagship store, if not for his face , This place that has been doing afternoon tea for more than 100 years, really does not necessarily agree with his slightly'rude' request.

The hotel’s afternoon tea is top-notch even in the Upper East Side. Unlike other luxurious and exquisite afternoon teas, the unique tropical jungle style is the most popular place for ladies in Manhattan. Isn't it different to show style?

Others are all wearing tight dresses and drinking afternoon tea on the shelf under the splendor. The background of the photo is usually indistinguishable from the location. Wouldn’t it be very depressing to think about it?

And you are dressed loosely and casually in the hotel, taking pictures leisurely, with a large palm leaf behind, you can see that you are there at a glance, full of sense of accomplishment, envy all the little bitches!

In addition to overcrowding and not being able to book a place all year round, another major feature is expensive. In addition to the special afternoon tea service provided for children, which is'generally expensive', the other two options are divided into'very expensive' and'particularly expensive' , In short, it is best for ordinary people not to try to open the menu lightly, this will make you lose all courage.

Caviar and lobster are all standard ingredients. If you don’t come with a gold leaf chocolate cake, you will not be able to reflect your distinguished status in the Upper East Side, and this is also one of the necessary props for a group photo.

Of course, Yang Cheng has no need to take pictures, so he can sell a whole menu without occupying a place. For the restaurant manager of the hotel, this is a motivation enough to make him forget his inner principles. For the sake of $1,000, a full-time service staff was sent to bring the distinguished service to the VIP guests as much as they enjoyed when having lunch in the hotel. Finally, when Yang Cheng was sent away respectfully, he did not forget to remind He will come again next time.
