In the Beginning, I Just Wanted to Make Money

Chapter 492 Breaking 100 Million

It is said that when Brother Dong finished writing "Shading the Sky" and his reputation reached its peak, Perfect World offered 5 million to name his next book "Perfect World"...

Damn, 5 million to buy a book title!

Game adaptation rights?

Damn it, the game "Perfect World" was released in 2005!

Let Shen Xudong write it now?

Shen Xudong hesitated: "...I do plan to write a fantasy novel, but...I have already decided on the outline, and it has nothing to do with "Perfect World"..."

"It's okay, just call it this name... How about two million?"

Shen Xudong glanced at Shen Haobo, who shook his head slightly, and then said: "...You can discuss the specific price with Mr. Shen, I am only responsible for writing it!"

That’s right, I’m an educated person, I studied in Spring and Autumn Period, how can I talk about money directly with people!

Shen Haobo is a bookseller who smells like copper, so it would be perfect for him to come and talk.

"Director Chi, I will go to your company tomorrow for the specific price and we will discuss it in detail."

"…also."

Shen Xudong suddenly remembered something: "Dr. Chi, is Perfect World interested in investing in the TV series "Zhu Xian"?"

"…TV drama?"

"Yes, I have almost written the script. It will be 50 episodes. It will cost at least 150 million to come up with the effect..."

Chi Yufeng thought for a while: "Let's take a look at the game situation..."

Shen Xudong nodded and suggested by the way: "I have played "Legend", and I feel that the mentality of domestic players is very... strange. They are not happy to spend tens of dollars to buy a game without in-app purchases, and they have to play props to earn tens of thousands. Therefore, making games The first thing that needs to be satisfied is the player’s sense of glory. Most Chinese people are poor, and when they finally get some money, they always want to be admired by many people, so free games and charging for props can definitely make money!”

"anything else?"

"…besides?"

"Your thoughts on the game..."

"Oh," Shen Xudong continued: "I feel that competitive battle games like Dota will become mainstream in the future..."

Chi Yufeng shook his head: "Not necessarily..."

Shen Xudong waved his hand and said quickly: "I'm just a family member. Just listen to it... We won't discuss it anymore..."

He's not playing games.

Like to listen or not!

After seeing off Chi Yufeng, Shen Haobo suddenly asked: "I heard that you are going to make a movie called "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"?"

"...Well, I asked Xu Ke to direct it."

"Can I make money?"

Shen Xudong glanced at him: "Do you want to invest?"

"Well, I have some savings from publishing books in the past few years..."

"Then buy a house...if you buy BJ's house, the value will definitely increase!"

Shen Haobo: "I already have three houses. Why would I buy so many houses? Don't change the subject. Has the movie "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" been released?"

Shen Xudong thought for a while, and then said seriously: "It's hard to say. If we can come out next year, I will probably make a little profit, but if we can't come out, we will definitely lose a little..."

"Why?"

"The advancement of Internet technology has made it difficult to sell video tapes, and film producers are very cautious..."

The main reason: the financial crisis is about to break out!

This is bad news for Chinese-language films with large investments. Overseas film studios will no longer buy copyrights at high prices, but there are also advantages - after the financial crisis, global film investment and production decreased, but due to the "lipstick effect", the audience's demand for films has not been high. Falling instead rising. This has caused many film distribution companies to be out of stock and they need to restock. At this time, they thought of Chinese movies, because Chinese movies have a large production volume and are cheap.

Note, there is a premise here: it is cheap!

But blockbusters with large investments are obviously not included in this list...

But Shen Xudong didn't need to tell Shen Haobo about this. He advised: "If you want to invest in movies, either invest in three or five movies at once, or don't invest..."

"Then why did you make "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"?"

"...This is a trilogy. The first part will make you famous, and the second part will make money...Besides, we can also develop a TV series..."

Shen Haobo immediately said: "I can also vote for three movies!"

"...Then you take 50 million...I'll give you a share!"

"Fifty million for one share?"

"How about calling it a blockbuster? The trilogy plans to have a total investment of 500 million, with the first part costing 150 million..."

Shen Haobo was frightened by this number: "Then... forget it..."

"...If you are really interested in film and television dramas, you can cast yourself in a few TV dramas first, it will be safer!"

Shen Haobo shook his head: "No, every entry and exit in your industry costs tens of millions. I can't afford it..."

It is said that "Crazy Stone" was released on the 12th. The single-day box office was stable at more than 8 million, and the next weekend it even reported 32.1 million. After ten days of release, the cumulative box office was 88.6 million!

After entering the third working day, the single-day box office began to show a significant decline - this is a normal thing. On the one hand, genuine DVDs are on the market, and on the other hand, the movie-watching craze is almost over...

However, it still maintains a revenue of more than 4 million in a single day.

By July 1, which is the 15th day of release, "The Stone" officially announced that its box office exceeded 100 million!

Then many theaters drastically reduced their film schedules - "Superman Returns" was released.

However, the box office of "Superman Returns" in the mainland in its first week was only 29 million, while "Stone" took in 12.2 million in its third weekend, pushing the cumulative box office to 117 million.

The main reason for the scene "Superman Returns" is that it's too ugly...

Moreover, our domestic understanding of Superman is not that strong. Most viewers’ understanding of Superman is limited to men wearing underwear...

"Stone" lasted until July 10th, and when it was released, the final box office was 122 million...

That's right, Ning Hao rose to the top and became the youngest member of the billion-dollar director club.

The values ​​of the main creators of "Stone" are rising with the tide, and various situations in the industry...

The typical example is Liu Hua. Countless business projects have been handed to him, but he doesn’t choose...

This is a common practice in the industry. They focus on actors who suddenly become popular and do not hesitate to use political resources to grab time slots.

It's also quite good. You can gain wealth and freedom in a short period of time, and there's nothing wrong with actors pursuing money.

Huang Bo has a company to help screen two movies, "Left and Right" and "The Second World", and a TV series "Shanghai Beach", the role of Ding Li.

In addition to the films that have been filmed but have not been released, Huang Bo's schedule for next year is almost full - and there are also Ning Hao's new works!

As for Ning Hao, he bought himself a gold necklace, changed his mobile phone number, and went into seclusion to polish the script of "Silver Driver" (Crazy Racing)...

To be honest, the efficiency of this product is too slow.

After he finishes filming "Racing", Shen Xudong is going to give him the script directly, so that he won't have to worry about filming "No Man's Land"...

Where is Shen Xudong?

He has been quite idle recently, not doing anything. No, I should say he is also doing something. He is spreading rumors...

Invited Zhang Hanyun to dinner three times and even sent her to school personally...

Go along with the hype!

Of course, he himself is quite happy...

After all, when you say something, the little girl looks at you with open eyes and admiration. It feels really good.

Very easy to fool...

The level of education is not high. If Shen Xudong is willing, she can help her sit up with a few words!

Of course, Shen Xudong is not so shameless...
