Chapter 1776 The Legend of Sword and Fairy Prequel

Is that so?

Liu Wenqing murmured softly upon hearing Luo Xiao's analysis.

According to Mr. Luo, he was shouldering a great responsibility on this trip overseas.

"Mr. Luo, what should I do?"

Liu Wenqing asked.

"There is no good plan yet, but it will be discussed at the meeting later."

Luo Xiao spoke up.

Mr. Chen has invested 100 billion yuan in Blue Film Films, and there are many things to discuss at this meeting.

The group discussed the arrangements in detail in the office, and soon it was time for the meeting.

"It's time for the meeting, let's go to the conference room."

When Luo Xiao saw his assistant come in and gesture, he stood up and spoke.

The group then left the office together.

meeting room,

Luo Xiao glanced at everyone in the conference room before speaking.

"Please sit down, everyone. Today's meeting will be long, and I hope you will all offer your suggestions."

Once everyone was seated, Luo Xiao continued speaking.

"President Chen just arranged for a 100 billion yuan investment in our Blue Film Entertainment to be used for various projects this year."

"At the same time, Hu Bian has been appointed as the head of the new project's novel website..."

Luo Xiao explained in detail the appointment of the three screenwriters.

"That's the gist of it. The main purpose of the meeting was to discuss what good plans there were for the appointment of the three screenwriters."

"Another question is how to allocate these 100 billion yuan to maximize their benefits."

"Let's have a good discussion about the allocation of funds."

After Luo Xiao finished speaking, he remained silent, waiting for the other people in the meeting to speak.

"Mr. Luo, we happen to be filming a variety show, and I need to apply for some funding."

Zhang Lan thought for a moment and then spoke.

She had almost finished preparing for the variety show, and all that was missing was the funding. Now that President Chen had invested 100 billion yuan in Blue Film Entertainment, the variety show could definitely be operated as planned.

“What’s your budget?”

Luo Xiao turned to look at Zhang Lan, who had already discussed the variety show with him.

He also felt that as an entertainment company, they would have to get involved in variety show projects sooner or later.

Moreover, Mr. Chen has now provided 100 billion yuan in funding, and variety show projects are also a source of financial drain.

"Mr. Luo, I've made a rough budget here, and one hundred million should be enough."

Zhang Lan began by saying that the guests are currently all artists from Blue Film Entertainment, so the financial expenditure on the guests is not much.

The remaining costs are for filming, including food, accommodation, and venue rental...

The overall consumption will not be much.

1 million!

Luo Xiao fell into deep thought upon hearing Zhang Lan's words.

If a variety show project only costs 100 million yuan, how should he spend the 10 billion yuan that President Chen gave him?

“Minister Zhang, since we are investing in variety shows, we will definitely need to set up a corresponding department. Then, there will inevitably be conflicts in subsequent management and work arrangements.”

"Another issue is the selection of variety show guests. Although we use artists from our own company, it's still better to invite some popular celebrities at the end of each episode."

"These celebrities may only appear in one or two episodes as guest stars."

"So whether it's inviting celebrity guests or setting up a variety show department, more funding is needed."

"Here's what we'll do. I'll give you 500 million yuan to set up a variety show department. We have an empty office floor downstairs in our Blue Film Entertainment building, which we've just put up for your variety show department."

Luo Xiao spoke slowly.

The establishment of a department and a project only required 5 million yuan in funding.

It's really difficult to manage 100 billion yuan.

"I understand, Mr. Luo."

Zhang Lan nodded upon hearing Luo Xiao's words.

Setting up a variety show department would indeed be more convenient, and a dedicated editing department would definitely be needed for future variety show productions.

Variety shows are edited on a schedule, and with Tomorrow Group's policy of not requiring overtime, the number of editing staff needed will definitely be even greater.

When she was preparing for the variety show, she learned some things about editing from Banana TV.

The editing department there usually has to work overtime for a long time after filming a variety show.

Therefore, in order to avoid working overtime, they will definitely need to recruit more editors.

"Okay, then the matter of the variety show department is settled. So how should we allocate the remaining 95 billion yuan?"

As Luo Xiao spoke, he looked at everyone in the conference room.

"Mr. Luo, we don't have any film or television shooting plans this year, but we will definitely invest in several new works."

"Yes, besides [Wandering Blue Star 2], we at Blue Films don't have any other works right now."

"......"

Inside the meeting room, several members began to speak.

"Yes, we will definitely invest in new projects, but what are your thoughts on them?"

Luo Xiao nodded and said that new works definitely need investment, and what type of works to choose this time is something that needs to be considered.

"Mr. Luo, in terms of TV dramas, we currently only have 'Chinese Paladin' and no other TV drama works."

"This time we can invest in one or two TV series."

Zhang Lan made the suggestion.

"Mr. Luo, if it's about investing in TV dramas, I have a suggestion."

Hu Bian spoke up.

"You said."

Luo Xiao looked towards Hu Bian.

"President Luo, after finishing the script for 'The Legend of Sword and Fairy,' I wrote a prequel to it."

"This prequel could easily be made into a TV series. That way, the popularity of the original 'Chinese Paladin' will remain, and our completed prequel will also generate some buzz, just like 'The Wandering Earth 2'."

Hu Bian shared his thoughts, explaining that he had finished writing the prequel to "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" a long time ago.

However, Blue Film Studios has never had any plans to continue investing in TV dramas, so he didn't bring it up.

"What do you think?"

Luo Xiao looked at the other people in the conference room, and seeing that no one raised any objections, he spoke up.

"Then the TV series 'Chinese Paladin Prequel' is settled. The investment amount will remain the same as the original 'Chinese Paladin,' 15 billion."

"What should we invest in for the second TV series?"

The meeting room was quiet.

"Let's put the second TV series on hold for now. We'll definitely invest in the movie as well. What are everyone's thoughts?"

Luo Xiao stopped discussing the TV series. One series had already been decided, and whether to invest in another one was entirely up to them.

But movies definitely require investment.

"President Luo, our Blue Film Studio has produced many types of films, but we have never made a film about the War of Resistance against Japan."

"I think we could make a film about the War of Resistance against Japan, which would also increase the patriotism of the Chinese people."

Liu Wenqing began to speak.
