"I have seen the comic "The Demonic" and it is indeed very good. Novel. It has a strong story and is very successful in character creation. It is very popular among young people today. If it is adapted into a movie, I think it should have a good box office." Xia Tian smiled.

"The Bewitched" is a comic with the theme of "Gang" launched by Niu Lao, a cartoonist under the Tianxia Publishing Company in 1992. Because it is full of violence, love, and fierce elements, and promotes brotherly loyalty and fights for the world, it is very popular among young people. The sales volume reaches a maximum of 150,000, and it is one of the best-selling comics.

In other words, "The Bewitched" is a popular IP nowadays. It is naturally a very good idea to adapt it into a movie. As for "The Bewitched" to promote violence, fierceness, and easy to teach children, Xia Tian thinks this is alarmist.

Although "The Demonic" has violent elements, not many people actually died. In the first episode "The Man in the World", only Ba Li, the Big Boss B's family, Liang Kun and others died; in the second episode "The Dragon Crossing the River", only Lei Gong, Ding, Zhang Dingkun and others died... The scene was not too bloody.

In comparison, Wu Yusen's "Bloody Two Heroes", "The Detective", Xu Ke's "New Dragon Inn", "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer", etc., died more people. And they were often shot, dismembered, and even peeled. In terms of bloodiness, they were even more powerful than "The Demonic".

In fact, in the movie rating, "The Demonic" is just a protective film, that is, children under the age of six are not allowed to watch, and children over the age of six or twelve are required to accompany and guide and watch.

There are also tutoring and restriction levels above the protection level. "The Demonic" is only the second level, which shows that it is not a disaster.

The reason why it is criticized is that like "elephony games", it is stigmatized by society's malicious intentions.

Ten years ago, playing electronic games was considered to be unemployed. But now, e-sports has been accepted. Once many competitions win awards, even mainstream media will report them. As for game anchors, they make more money. If you make money in a live broadcast, you can pay for the first issue.

Xia Tian also disagrees with learning bad things by himself because he watched a movie. He also watched "The Demonic" when he was in the second year of middle school, and it was over after watching it, and he did not go on the evil path because of this.

If watching a movie really changes your values, it will be easier. I will watch "The Story of **" for my children every day, and when I grow up, they are all good people.

...

"Mr. Xia, do you agree? That's good, then I'll take a photo." Wang Jing smiled immediately when he saw Xia Tian agreeing.

"I agree, but "The Demonic" is a long-form comic and it suits the taste of young people. I think its box office should be good. So when you are shooting, I think you should respect the key plot and pay attention to the foreshadowing to make sequels in the future." Xia Tian advised.

When "The Demon" was filmed in his previous life, Wang Jing didn't expect it to be popular, just wanted to give it a try. Unexpectedly, "The Demon" became a hit and achieved a box office of more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars.

Wang Jing was overjoyed and quickly planned to make a new film. It was completed in more than two months and was released during the Spring Festival. Because taking advantage of the first film, the second film also sold for more than 20 million yuan, which can be said to be a great success.

But here's the trouble. The reason why the "Bewitchy" series is popular is inseparable from the original work. However, the movie has already started to delete and modify the plot significantly from the first part; by the second part, the plot and the comics were too different; in the third part, one of the most important characters, Jiang Tiansheng, was also filmed to death... The movies are becoming more and more different from comics, and their appeal to the audience is naturally getting lower and lower.

Just like many popular TV series adapted from IPs now, such as "Fighting Break the Sky", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Heavens", etc., are given the names of the original work, but the plot is too different, and even the fans of the original work are unwilling to support it. How can the ratings rise?

Xia Tian hopes that "The Demonic" can create "The Demonic" like the Marvel Universe. In fact, this is very likely.

Because Niu Lao himself has produced many derivative works such as "Dong Yingzai", "The Prince", "The Dragon and the Tigers Are in Lan Street", "The Great Family of Jianghu", and "The Demonic Girl".

Many characters in "The Demonic" are worthy of being published by themselves, such as Shan Ji, Da Fei, Jiang Tiansheng, Jiang Tianyang, Thirteenth Sister, Prince, etc.

If you manage this IP well, you may be able to fill the world entertainment for several years like "Marvel Universe". Of course, this requires very careful operation.

On the one hand, we must continue to launch high-quality works; on the other hand, we must make more money on marketing.

Rome was not built in one day, nor was the Marvel Universe formed in one day.

"Iron Man", "Captain America", "Thor", "Guardians of the Galaxy", "Ant-Man", "Black Panther", "Doctor Strange"... Marvel continues to use high-quality works to lay the foundation for the Marvel Universe and cultivate audience confidence. Until now, the Marvel Universe has become a big IP resounding throughout the earth, and countless viewers are looking forward to it.

Xia Tian mentioned the concept of "bewitching the universe" to Wang Jing.

After listening to it, Wang Jing was inspired. The first time I knew that the movie could still be shot like this.

"Mr. Xia, you are such a genius." He couldn't help but admire him.

Before, even when Hong Kong filmed sequels, they didn't care much about their connection with the previous work.

For example, in the "Police Story" series, there is almost no continuity in the four stories; in the "Happy Ghost" series, there is only one main character in Happy Ghost, while the stories of other characters are all changed; in the "Best Partner" series, there is only three main characters in King Kong, Bald Detective and Man Po, and the other characters are not inherited.

Not to mention that it is related to other movies.

However, the only exception is the "God" series, which has successively appeared movies such as "Holy", "Holy", "Holy 2", and "Saint on the Street", which can be said to form a "Divine Universe".

However, the reason for this is that Hong Kong filmmakers are not deliberately composed into the "Divine Universe", so the plot is not very close.

If you follow the filming method of summer, the main characters in the movie can visit each other. You make a guest appearance as mine and I make a guest appearance as yours, which is a good way to make money.

Just like the five generals of the TVB, they played guest appearances and played with each other, which really attracted a lot of ratings.

"If you think it's good, then do it." Xia Tian nodded, "Find more screenwriters and decide the story well. In addition, I suggest you arrange newcomers to perform in this drama. In this case, it will be beneficial to arrange scenes."
