Feng Yu is also thinking about how to market their handheld DV. Could it be that producing HD DV is a mistake?
Feng Yu remembers in his previous life, Hua Xia has many TV stations that specialize in shopping advertisements, and there are many handheld DV advertisements.
But this kind of advertisement could only be broadcasted on local channels in China. It was impossible to broadcast it overseas.
Feng Yu suddenly remembered a movie. A movie shot with a handheld DV, and because of this movie, more families buy handheld DV's.
This movie's production cost is less than 50,000 USD, but in 1999, it made 300 million USD in the global box office. It is the first movie in history to make a big profit with a small budget.
This movie's name is < The Witch Blair >.
This was a pseudo-documentary film. It was originally a game made by three students, but in the end, it was bought by the film company at a price of 200,000 US dollars. Then, they invested tens of millions of US dollars in publicity fees, and in the end, the distributor earned hundreds of millions of US dollars.
Not only the movie's box office, but the VCDs and other products are also selling well. At that time, many people thought the DV had really filmed ghosts!
In the future, many companies learned from this fake documentary film and let their directors film like this. Anyway, the production cost is low, and if they succeed, they will make a lot of money.
Feng Yu had seen this kind of DV movies in theaters overseas, but the images are too blurry. Of course, this is also related to the DV technology at that time.
But now, with HDV, why can't they use DV to film a HD movie? Even if there is no good script, there are still people with good scripts.
Other people might not have a good script, but Feng Yu has it.
In his previous life, he had watched many movies and remembered them well. Most importantly, he can shoot short videos with this DV, just like the Young Directors Program in his previous life.
Shoot a short video of five minutes to half an hour and post it on the Internet, so that others will know that the video shot by this DV is also very clear, very good, and very exciting to more people who have a dream of buying a movie.
Feng Yu suddenly realized he only wanted to make a commercial, and now he wants to make a movie.
Among the short films he could think of that were suitable for shooting with a handheld DV, there were Martina Hill's "The Ultimate Loser", Da Peng's "The Loser Man", Yu Shasha's "The Ultimate Lady", the Chopsticks Brothers' "Father", and so on. There were also some that left a deep impression, such as Hong Kong's Teacher Chen and Taiwan's Teacher Li.
There should be other ideas, but Feng Yu could not think of them now. Everyone should be able to come up with some ideas later.
… … Actually, this small handheld DV is most suitable for documentaries. But Feng Yu did not watch many documentaries in his previous life. The ones that he remembers the most are < A Bite of Hua Xia > and < Man vs. Wild >. But those two need good editing and other things. Feng Yu does not know much, but he decided to find a professional to do this.
… …
"General Manager Feng, you want to use our handheld DV to film a movie? Now, not many people like to watch movies like 'Blair the Witch'. Furthermore, most people choose Sony's products. "
Feng Yu waved his hand. "What they want is a blurry feeling, and I want a clear feeling. I am thinking of producing a sitcom, and I want to film a documentary. "
"General Manager Feng, a documentary doesn't need to be in HD, right? Are you going to film insects or something? No one likes to watch those documentaries. " Xu Lihua felt Feng Yu is looking at the wrong direction. Most documentaries can be shot with a normal DV.
"I am not going to film insects. I am going to film food. I want to introduce a series of documentaries. The name will be < A Bite of Hua Xia >, and it must be filmed with HD cameras. "
Filming a food documentary? Xu Lihua had a complicated look on his face. Will anyone like to watch this? There are cooking shows on TV, and they only need to film in a studio facing a kitchen. There is no need for HD images. You want to film a documentary and still need HD images?
If it were someone else and not Feng Yu, Xu Lihua would have scolded him for bullsh * t!
"General Manager Feng, is this idea feasible?"
Feng Yu also does not know if anyone will like to watch A Bite of China now. After all, Hua Xia's living conditions are incomparable to his previous life.
"What about Survival in the Wild shows? This should be very attractive to people who like to explore. If you are filming alone, you can use a handheld DV. It will be more realistic. Our HD DV can capture clearer images, and it is more portable. "
"General Manager Feng, how many people in China like to explore the wild? But what you said reminded me. We can film a travel show for different attractions, and many people will like it. "
Feng Yu raised his brows. There are not many people in China who like to play wilderness survival. But it should be a good idea to film it overseas. There are too many people who like to do it overseas.
In China, Xu Lihua's idea is a good idea. But he does not want to film a traditional travel program. He wants to film it as a self-driving diary. He will get a man and a woman to film it. This program should have a high viewership rating and can even be sold to overseas TV stations. After all, many people in many countries are interested in Hua Xia.
A man and a woman on a self-driving tour will be filmed from an ordinary person's point of view. This program should have a higher market value and will be accepted easily.
Feng Yu patted Xu Lihua's shoulder. "Old Xu, this is a good idea. I think many people will notice our products through product placement in this program. You just need to focus on the technologies, and we will start a price war with Sony and other companies to snatch the market share! "
Xu Lihua blinked his eyes. He had casually said something, and Manager Feng thought it would work?
But who cares? As long as General Manager Feng thinks it will work, Xu Lihua is only in charge of the technologies and is not good at other aspects. He will not worry about it in the future.
When it's time to choose the actors, Feng Yu is troubled. Man vs. Wild is not a problem, and he will continue to look for Bear Grylls. Anyway, that show has not started, and Bear Grylls should still be in the UK.
But Kirilenko is worried about who to look for for this self-driving diary. The actor must have a good image, be good at sports, and be eloquent.
Feng Yu suddenly slapped his forehead. How did he forget about the Chinese Brothers? They have a lot of artists, and it should not be a problem to find two less famous artists.
