Chapter 362. [Create a new era of zombies](2/2)

"Then tell me, will our TV series surpass that movie?" Yi Feiyang asked them with a smile.

"Well..." Tom was silent for a moment, "It's hard to say. After all, Resident Evil is adapted from a game and has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. However, ours is adapted from a comic or a TV series, so in terms of scale, it is somewhat... not as good as others."

"Yes, TV series are all produced with a small budget, how can they compare with big movies?" Harry said.

Seeing that everyone thought so, Yi Feiyang suddenly knocked on the table and said, "You are all wrong!"

"In my opinion, TV series can also be shot on the scale of a movie, or even bigger than a movie!"

"Ah, that will cost a lot of money!"

"Yes, if the production cost is too expensive, you will lose money!"

"Our TV station is already in debt, wouldn't it be even worse if this continues?"

People were talking a lot, and they didn't seem to agree with Yi Feiyang's huge idea.

In fact, we can’t blame them. American TV series have always been inferior to movies. TV and movie people are not on the same level at all, so they look at things from different perspectives. Film people like to make blockbusters and large-scale productions, and TV

However, people always have to pay attention to "keeping costs low", which has greatly restricted the development of the television industry. This situation did not happen until the release of "Prison Break" in 2005, which broke the dividing line between TV series and movies.

Let people know that TV series can be shot this way, and TV series can be more exciting than movies!

In fact, in terms of movie and TV capacity, movies generally last more than 90 minutes, and super blockbusters only last more than 2 hours. TV series, on the other hand, do not have much time limit and can interpret the storyline better and more perfectly.

In addition, TV series occupy a huge audience, and almost every household can watch your program. As for movies, you can only watch them if you buy a ticket. Finally, the broadcast season of American TV series is a big knowledge. If you compare it to

Movies, then, are sequels every season, which will continuously attract people to watch, thereby building a fixed audience. For example, "Game of Thrones", which was a sensation in the world in its previous life, can be said to have a global audience that surpasses the most awesome "Titanic"

” and “Avatar”.

In short, no matter from any aspect, TV series have an advantage over movies, but the results are often the opposite. In the United States, and even around the world, TV series have always been unable to compete with movies, and have always been inferior.

Now Yi Feiyang wants to break this unwritten "rule" and spend a lot of money to shoot TV series using the same methods as movies, so that the TV series can unleash its potential and lead a revolution of the century!

"Yes, what you said makes sense!" Yi Feiyang stood up and looked down at the colorful world under the floor-to-ceiling windows. "But in my opinion, TV can also compete with movies, and even surpass it in terms of investment!"

"How is this possible?"

“It’s incredible!”

Everyone was talking a lot.

"Nothing is impossible! Nothing is incredible!" Yi Feiyang said firmly, "This is the way this world is, entertainment comes first! As long as the TV series we shoot are as exciting as the movies, then the audience will buy it. By then we will be able to create ratings

Miracle!"

"But what about cost recovery? It is very likely that we will lose money!" someone asked.

"Don't forget." Yi Feiyang turned around and smiled. "We are a cable TV station and it is a paid program!"

"Can cable charges be as good as box office?" someone else asked.

"Of course we can't compare to the ticket price. One ticket costs six to seven dollars. One of our programs charges only three dollars per quarter, and the average episode of a TV series only costs a few cents. But don't forget, we are in the TV business. What?

The most? The most viewers! So, we need small profits but quick turnover!”

"What's more, in addition to cable charges, we can also work hard on TV advertising to attract everyone to our programs, and then those advertisers with huge wallets will come uninvited!"

"So, this is a virtuous cycle process. As long as we work together to produce good TV programs, we can turn around the current situation of AMC TV station from loss to profit!"

What Yi Feiyang said was very powerful and reasonable. It made everyone excited.

Tom, who was in charge of the production department, suddenly said: "Boss, I have an idea. Can we unite with the online platform? After our TV series is broadcast, we can upload the episodes and let the audience click to watch. This will attract more people."

After all, there are many more people online than sitting in front of the TV!"

"Fuck nggao! What a great idea!" Yi Feiyang snapped his fingers, "This idea is very good and very practical. I like it!"

You must know that many popular American TV series in previous lives were basically spread on the Internet. Yi Feiyang had noticed this originally, but was the first to mention it. It seems that this Tom is a talented person who is good at thinking.

"I also have an idea!" The person who stood up this time was Harry, Tom's good friend who was also promoted by Yi Feiyang. Seeing that his good friend had made a good impression on his boss, Harry raised his hand impatiently.

"Everyone knows that on-demand online platforms can only attract more viewers if they are free, but we can definitely add ads at the beginning, middle, or end of the film to make money!"

I originally thought that the idea I proposed would be praised by Yi Feiyang, but... Yi Feiyang smiled and said, "The suggestion is very good, but the effect may be very bad!"

"Just imagine, when you are in a hurry to watch a TV series, there are advertisements in the front, advertisements in the middle, and advertisements at the end. Will you feel very bad? You may even yell, is this a TV commercial break or a commercial break TV?!"

It can be said that Yi Feiyang hates this! In his previous life, the most annoying thing when watching TV programs was the constant commercials and interruptions.

Harry didn't expect such a reaction, and his face turned red.

"However, you gave me a very good suggestion - diversify and seek to maximize profits!" Yi Feiyang said with a change of tone.

"So what should we do? That is to adapt the TV show into an online game, or even introduce the TV show into mobile phone elements and make it into a mobile version, and make huge profits from it!"

Yi Feiyang's words were so bold that everyone couldn't help but be surprised. The adaptation of a TV series into an online game is already sharp enough, but it even needs to be connected with a mobile phone. The question is, are mobile phones that smart?

They don't know, but Yi Feiyang knows very well. In the future, smart phones will be very popular. Not to mention downloading TV series, you can even watch TV series directly online!

But this also gave Yi Feiyang suddenly another idea, which is to develop a huge mobile phone market. Now the mobile phone market has just started, the most famous ones are Ericsson and Nokia, as well as Japan's Sony, but Yi Feiyang clearly knows that,

In the future, Samsung of South Korea and Apple of the United States will be the two dominant players in this field. Judging from the current market share, I only need to spend a small amount of money to acquire a large number of shares of these two companies...

Thinking of this, this time it was not everyone who was agitated, but Yi Feiyang himself who was agitated. When he thought that he might control the two largest electronic companies in the world - Apple and Samsung in the future, Yi Feiyang's blood boiled with excitement.
