Chapter 101 Follow the trend and establish a project

Compared with the overseas online copyright sales, the domestic online copyright of "Fatal Identity" is authorized to Huanshi.com and Penguin Video Network, using a split account model for online broadcast, and the account is divided according to 1.5 yuan for each effective playback amount.

Six minutes is counted as an effective playback volume. Because the video adopts a paid viewing model and the free trial time does not exceed 5 minutes, the effective playback volume basically refers to the on-demand volume of paid members.

In 2014, the number of paying members of several major video platforms was not large. The total number of paid members on the entire network was less than 10 million. The total number of members of Fantasy World and Penguin Video Network was only 5 million. The two major video platforms estimated that "Fatal Identity" has

It may reach more than 10 million effective clicks.

In addition, there are advertising accounts, so the domestic online copyright revenue of "Fatal Identity" is expected to exceed 20 million, which is almost equivalent to the production cost of the film.

Coupled with various box office splits and copyright income, the profit rate of "Fatal Identity" is also rare in the history of Chinese films.

Not only was Chen Jingxing happy here, there were also marketing accounts on the Internet who analyzed the profitability of "Fatal Identity" based on public information. The profit of more than ten times also sparked discussion on the topic.

Objectively, it added firewood to the already burning film and television industry, accelerating the accumulation of hot money. After the news came out, the stocks of Fantasy World and several companies that had invested in DreamWorks all experienced sharp rises.

DreamWorks is not a listed company, but its valuation has also risen sharply. Some say it is 2 billion, some say 3 billion. Many domestic entertainment companies and even companies that have nothing to do with the entertainment industry are asking DreamWorks if it has any plans to raise funds in the future.

DreamWorks and several partners also announced their next film projects while the iron was hot.

When they heard that DreamWorks was going to shoot two science fiction movies next, the media and netizens became excited.

[Oh, don’t bother yourself. "Comet" is still a story about eight friends having a dinner together. Can you imagine the unfolding of God later? It is both quantum and cat, and even involves parallel worlds. In one house, there are

There are so many tricks you can come up with.

[Haha, I just checked again, and I missed a movie. Fengshen.com is also going to make a science fiction movie, but it is an online movie called "Deadly Comet"]

["Deadly Comet"...it really makes people unable to hold back]

[Can you still name him like that? Can Chen Jingxing sue him for infringement?]

…

The urgent thing Chen Jingxing faces now is casting.

"Source Code" is not too anxious yet, and is still doing the preliminary preparations, especially building a huge studio, making a train model, and setting up a green screen.

Following trends is quite normal in the film and television industry. This can be regarded as the change caused by Chen Jingxing, the butterfly flapping its wings.

[Good guy, not long ago it was a desert for science fiction movies, but then I thought it was the spring of science fiction movies. Now it’s summer?]

[Yes, there are too many sci-fi movies that have been rumored to be filmed these days, including "Unbelievable" and "Dark Labyrinth". Didn't Tianhu.com also say that "Roboman 2" will be filmed?

?Coupled with the two films directed by Chen, I didn’t expect that our country’s science fiction films would all gather together. I couldn’t have imagined this scene a year ago]

Under Chen Jingxing’s Weibo, netizens were having heated discussions:

[Does the director want to make two movies at the same time?]

[I understand your feelings upstairs, that is, I respect the audience’s IQ. There are constant surprises during the movie, and if you think about it carefully, it is unexpected, but it is reasonable]

[I am a science fiction fan. I think the most interesting thing about Director Chen’s movies is that the science fiction concept is very cool, but it can be perfectly integrated into the story without any sense of violation]

[Can anyone analyze what kind of story "Signal" and "Source Code" are based on their names? Does it seem to be about computers, stories about programmers?]

As for "Deadly Comet", it was indeed a side project. Seriously speaking, there was nothing he could do about it, and he didn't care about it.

However, if you take a closer look at these messy science fiction projects, most of them have low investment, and some are even online movies. Several established studios have not participated in this trend.

In the special effects company we just invested in, Mo's boss, Xu Sheng, personally serves as the special effects director and art director, and is marking the special effects of the script. The entire company is seizing the time to do CG previews.

The first half of "Fatal Identity" seems to be a suspenseful murder story. Who would have thought that a psychiatrist is treating mental patients? Isn't this the charm of Chen Jingxing's movies? A normal world suddenly introduces science fiction concepts that will make you jaw-dropping.

Stop guessing and wait until the time comes to go to the cinema to get the surprise]

Chen Jingxing was a little surprised by the trend of science fiction movies in the film industry, but also felt that it was reasonable.

[...Is it the "Roboman" I know? Can this be a sequel? The ending does not leave any suspense. Is there anything to continue?]

[Hey, they are just following the trend. Isn’t this the same problem in the entertainment industry? When a topic becomes popular, everyone will crowd in. When the tide goes out, you will know who is streaking]

[The person above is too pessimistic. I used to not be optimistic about domestically produced science fiction films, mainly because I thought we simply couldn’t produce such special effects. But Chen Jingxing made me change my view. Science fiction films can also be small and beautiful.

A good science fiction movie can be made without special effects]

[What a beautiful thought. If you don’t rely on special effects, you have to rely on stories. If you have the ability to tell good stories, the Chinese film industry will not be what it is now]

[Is it about the relationship between father and son? What does it have to do with the signal source code? It feels like there is nothing to fight against]

No one knows better than him that the spring of science fiction movies in China is still early. These sci-fi projects that follow the trend will most likely end up being submerged by the tide and will not make a few waves. If there is anyone who can really make a name for himself, he

It's quite a surprise.

[No, I saw on DreamWorks’ Weibo that it said continuous shooting, not simultaneous shooting]

[I was still at work, and I just saw this news. I was so happy that I almost screamed. I am not a fan of science fiction movies, but Director Chen’s movies are so suitable for my taste!]

[Didn’t Director Chen post it before? He said he was going to make a story about father and son. It should be one of two movies.]

The entire preparatory work for "Source Code" was handled by Xu Wenshen, who is the chief producer. Penguin Video and Tianrun Pictures also sent a large number of people to participate in the production.

Originally, Huanshi.com wanted to participate in the production of both movies, but I don’t know what kind of py deal Penguin Video Network and Huanshi.com have made.

In the end, it was negotiated that "The Signal" would be jointly produced by DreamWorks Fantasy Network and United Cinemas.

"Source Code" is co-produced by DreamWorks Penguin Video Network and Tianrun Pictures.
