Future Optical Brain System

Chapter 54 The Crazy Stone
This summer is very lively in the domestic film and television industry. Adapted from "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio", a magical movie "Fox Fairy" won the first box office in the mainland, followed by "Future Warrior" starring the famous actor Wang Dongcheng. The box office in the mainland ranked second, an American Hollywood sci-fi film "Iron Hero" took the third place in the box office, ranked No. 10 in the box office, and domestic films and American films accounted for half of it.

The most eye-catching movie this summer is "Neural Swordsman". It is funny and nonsensical, creating an example of making no profit at a small cost. The box office of hundreds of millions at a cost of several million has made many filmmakers envious. Jealousy and Hate, temporarily ranked sixth in this year's annual box office list, known as the strongest dark horse of the year.

You can make money by writing novels, playing music, and making games, but the most profitable thing is making movies. Hollywood blockbusters can easily earn hundreds of millions around the world, with a box office of more than one billion US dollars. Plus peripherals, advertising and so on, the profits are huge.

Let’s not talk about foreign countries, let’s talk about China. With the development of China’s economy, it has surpassed RB to become the world’s second largest ticket warehouse. For example, the film company in Xiangjiang used to not offend Taiwan and Island when making movies, and it couldn’t make movies in the mainland. Otherwise, they will all be banned in Taiwan. Liang Jiahui won the best actor at a young age, and suddenly became the target of the Taiwan authorities. If there is no filming, he can only set up a street stall. But now, more and more Hong Kong stars come to the mainland to earn money. gold.

Taking advantage of the booming movie market, Chen Dong thought about making movies and entering the film and television industry.

Chen Dong has a script, and with some credits, he can exchange it from the optical brain for an excellent movie script in the original time and space. The royalties for "Those Things" are more than 20 million, and I believe this figure will increase to 100 million in one month, which is enough to make a small-budget movie.

In Yuan Shikong, when Chen Donggang graduated from university, he didn't find a job. He ran to Heng/dian Film and Television City with a friend and worked as a handyman for a while. He was very familiar with the routines of making movies, and being a producer was enough.

You can hire a director. It is difficult to hire a well-known and capable director, and you cannot afford it. There are a lot of unknown but very capable directors. For example, Ning Hao from the original time and space, is he famous for filming Crazy Stone?Not famous, Ning Hao has painted, formed a band, worked in a bicycle factory, and engaged in graphic design and other professions to make a living. Later, he filmed "Thursday, Wednesday", "Incense", and "Green Grass" , won awards, but except for people in the industry, few people have watched these movies and know Ning Hao.Were you capable before filming Crazy Stone?Yes, how can you make a movie that makes the audience laugh if you don't have the ability?

Many directors are not incapable, but just lack a chance to make them famous.

Chen Dong made a decision and planned to make a movie.

He turned on his optical brain, clicked on the entertainment list, and clicked on the movie exchange catalog in the entertainment list. From the movie exchange catalog, he looked for a movie with a cost of several million and a box office of more than tens of millions, so as to gain big profits with a small cost. .

There are many overseas. For example, the cost of "Blair Witch" is only 6 US dollars, but it took 1 million at the box office. The cost is even lower, and "Ghost Story" is only 4 US dollars, which is equivalent to 1 yuan at the time. The box office took around 5000 million US dollars, but Chen Dong gave up on these two films at the first time. Whether it was "Blair Witch" or "Ghost Story", they made a lot of money online. Many viral MLM models have achieved such great success by attracting the curiosity of the audience.

In fact, the quality of these two movies is very poor, and the actors are not well-known. For example, "Ghost Story" was only shot with a video camera, the picture is blurry, the camera is shaky, and the actors in it were not famous , The success of the two films lies in the use of viral spread on the Internet to attract audiences into the cinema.

In China, there are "Crazy Stone" and "Nightclub" that strive for big profits with a small cost. Among them, "Crazy Stone" is the most outstanding, with a shooting cost of more than 200 million, creating a box office of more than 3000 million. Proceeds, although the imitation is "Two Smoking Barrels", the narrative structure is exactly the same as that of "Two Smoking Barrels", but Chen Dong believes that what's wrong with imitating, it is a successful movie to make a local comedy effect, and it turns out that "Crazy Stone" was very successful, the audience burst into laughter when they entered the cinema, and received rave reviews.

In 06, it was more than 200 million. Calculated because of the depreciation of the currency, it is more than 400 million now, and the entire film is close to more than 500 million.

Chen Dong did the math, he only has more than 200 million W, and there is still a shortfall of 300 million. It is impossible to find investment, no one will invest for him, playing music, writing novels is okay, playing movies?He is a person outside the film industry, and no one would believe that he can make a profitable film.

Fortunately, the money for the actors and crew can be paid after the filming is over. More than 200 W is enough in the early stage, and it is almost the end of the year after filming. I believe that by then "Longevity" plus "Those Children of the Ming Dynasty" will be paid. There are more than 300 million, enough.

At this moment, the phone rang.

Chen Dong took out his phone and looked at the caller ID. It was Du Wenhai from Changjiang Publishing House. "Hey, Mr. Du, what's the matter?"

On the other side of the phone, Du Wenhai smiled and said, "Please have a light meal, and we will talk about it later."

Now Chen Dong is a cash cow for their publishing house, and a cash cow that can last for several years.

Many times Du Wenhai talked to Chen Dong in a low voice. There are seven volumes of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty". The first volume sold more than 50 copies. More than 100 million copies will bring hundreds of millions of dollars in profits to the publishing house within a few years. This is just the beginning. In the future, new books published by Chen Dong will be given priority to be published by Changjiang Publishing House. It will definitely be a cash cow full of gold ingots.

Who in the publishing world doesn't know that Changjiang Publishing House has dug up a cash cow. I heard that the editor-in-chief of Yellow River Publishing House heard that "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" became a big hit, and sold more than 40 copies a month. The vases were all smashed, and a big gold mine that could bring huge benefits to the publishing house slipped out of his own hands and into the hands of his opponent because of his own impulsiveness.

This time he called Chen Dong to have a casual meal. First, he came to chat about his relationship. Second, he knew that Chen Dong had a serialized popular book "The Story of Longevity" on Qi/Dian, which was very suitable for publication. This time he wanted to Ask Chen Dong to hand over the simplified version of "The Story of Longevity" to Changjiang Publishing House.

Chen Dong said, "Okay, when, that place."
