Chapter 60: Follow suit

　　 Jiangchuan, Lantian Building.
　　Pengda Film and Television, which has just moved, is holding a monthly meeting.
　　 First, Yan Tao from the production department and the director of "Firepower Boy 2" reported the latest work progress.
　　 According to Yan Tao, "Firepower Boy 2" is expected to be finished in early September of the school season. If it is strong later, it can catch up with the National Day file.
　　 This speed is already relatively fast in the TV circle.
　　 After all, the crew of "Firepower Boy 2" didn't start until early April, and it could be completed within five months. Yan Tao really got the filming story taught by Meng Zong.
　　 "Firepower Boys 2", which was launched on the National Day, does not conflict with the Bakugan boy, after all, there was a whole summer vacation in between.
　　 It's been a full year since the original "Boyboy 1" started broadcasting.
　　 One year apart, the Firepower Junior King already has a preliminary feeling for extra points. Even if Yan Tao's sequel is not as good as the first one, the ratings will not be much worse.
　　 Not to mention, ratings are not important at all.
The sequel of 　　 is to promote the new yo-yo series. The previous firepower silver and sprint meteors are outdated. If you don’t launch a new yo-yo series, do you want to make money?
Knocked on the table, Meng Lang emphasized: "Firepower Young King is shooting one film a year. When the ratings run out, then consider refrigerating the series. For the story of Barala Little Demon Fairy, the continuation plan is arranged quickly... …"
　　The sequel is a long-term plan.
　　 It cannot be said that the second season was filmed this year, and the third season will not be seen next year.
　　 One sequel a year is enough to ensure the popularity of the Yo-Yo and Magic Fairy series. Even if you are not seen by the audience in two years, you can also refrigerate the series, and restart a wave of feelings for bad money after five or six years.
　　 Learn from peers a good example!
　　 "Bakugan Kid" is no exception. The development of the sequel "Sacred Rock" is already in preparation.
　　 The difficulty is that the original version of Sacred Rock is an animated version, and it takes a major operation to change it into a live-action drama.
　　 But this can't be troublesome to President Meng!
　　 After talking about the sequel, the operation director Ma Teng reported to Meng Lang the licensing income of Pengda Film and Television in the second quarter of 2015.
　　Pengda Film & TV, as the copyright owner, does not have its own factory and does not produce any products.
　　All derivatives are obtained through licensing to other manufacturers.
　　In the second quarter, revenue dropped by 30% compared to the first quarter!
　　 But this is only a temporary pain.
　　 Meng Lang clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Our derivatives did not sell well in the second quarter. Everyone knows the reason. It should be better in the third quarter."
　　 The second quarter just caught up with the time when the popularity of the magic fairy faded and Bakugan has not yet been sold.
　　 Judging from the current sales of Bakugan, the third quarter financial report is definitely good.
　　 The children still support him!
　　 The remaining content of the financial report is nothing good, except for profit or profit, which is too vulgar!
　　 Meng Lang turned the boss's chair, so that the smile on his face would not be seen by the employees, and pretended to say deeply: "Ahem... Director Ma don’t just talk about the domestic and overseas market performance?"
　　 "Overseas markets...not bad."
Ma Teng touched his chin and said: "The Snowline Front series successfully defeated the Firepower Silver-Electric series and became the best-selling Yo-Yo series overseas! The magic fairy toys are also selling well, and the overseas license may exceed US$200 million in the first half of the year. !"
"How many?"
　　 "200 million dollars!" Ma Teng repeated.
　　 Meng Lang turned back to the boss chair and asked incredulously: "Are you saying that there will be so many in the first half of the year? Or is it the expected revenue for the whole year?"
　　 "In the first half of the year!" Ma Teng emphasized: "In the second half of the year, only a lot more!"
　　 After all, Bakugan and cards will be on sale in the second half of the year. The second Yo-Yo World Championship is coming soon. The sales of Yo-Yo before and after the World Cup will surely usher in a wave of growth...
　　 This is too scary!
　　 More than one person in the conference room was shocked by the revenue data reported by Ma Teng. Is it really profitable to sell toys?
How many yo-yos did 　　 sell?
　　 Meng Lang smiled and said: "Good job! Everyone worked hard in the first half of the year, and the company will never treat you badly if the company makes money. I will ask the finance side to make statistics and give everyone a bonus!"
　　 "Meng's general atmosphere!"
　　Tools People have sang praises.
　　……
　　 Pengda Film and Television made money, and made a lot of money.
　　 This aroused envy and jealousy of many colleagues in the circle, and many people had an idea.
　　 Can you make money even with that kind of shoddy drama? Still making big money?
　　 It's sour.
　　 Light acid is not good enough. This group of people is also learning from it. Taking advantage of the good market conditions, they have set up their own special drama projects.
　　 The veteran film and television giant Haitian Film and Television announced that they have established a new drama, which is expected to be broadcast around the National Day.
　　The name of the new play is "Kingbo Boy"!
Ok……
　　 Since Haitian didn't reveal too many details, Meng Lang couldn't guess what story this "Guangbo Boy" tells.
　　 But you can tell from the name, isn’t it a hand rubbing light waves?
　　 This is just one of them!
　　Jiangnan Film and Television established a new drama "Hurricane Boy King"! Rumored to be co-produced with a toy manufacturer, UU Reading www. The main content of uukanshu.com may be related to a windmill toy.
　　 Leah Film & Television, a film and television company mainly engaged in film production and distribution, also came to join in the fun.
　　 Their project is very interesting, and they decided to remake "Candy Girl", which was popular on screen a few years ago, into a live-action TV series.
　　 It is not difficult to see that the target audience of Leah Films and Television's target should be similar to "Ballala Little Demon Fairy".
　　 These three follow suits are typical models with relatively large origins, and they are also three follow suits that make Meng Lang feel threatened.
　　 In addition, there are many unknown little directors who have set up new drama plans.
　　 are all special live-action dramas!
　　 Everyone rushed into this market to grab food. It seemed that Pengda Film and Television was in a precarious position, but in fact, Meng Lang really didn't take these follow-ups into consideration.
　　 Only thieves are eating meat, but no thieves are beaten!
　　 I just saw Pengda Film and Television eating meat, but I couldn't see the giants that plunged into the pit and didn't climb out.
　　 Meng Lang did not dare to say that these follow-ups would definitely fail, maybe there are one or two dramas that can really break the siege. But the possibility is too low. Everyone wants to make a hit, but only a few people make a hit.
　　 Perhaps only when they fall into this pit will they know that it is no less difficult to serve children than to serve adults.
　　 There has always been a gap between children and live-action dramas, and Meng Lang doesn't mind having colleagues come out to disrupt the situation. Anyway, even if these people make a hit, they may not make as much money as him.
　　The toys are not even well designed. How about making NM's special drama?
　　 The golden armor warrior makes a comparable Bakugan kid, but the toy income is not too much.
　　This kind of special drama, not that you can make money if you shoot well!
　　 Is it rare to see an example of a well-produced film but the producer’s loss?
