The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 101
Compared with the sale of overseas online copyrights, the domestic online copyright of "Fatal Identity" is authorized to Huanshi.com and Penguin Video Network, and the network broadcasting is carried out in the mode of sharing accounts, and the accounts are divided according to 1.5 yuan for each effective playback volume.

6 minutes is counted as an effective playback volume, because the film adopts the paid viewing mode, and the free trial time does not exceed 5 minutes, so the effective playback volume actually basically refers to the paid member's on-demand volume.

In 2014, the number of paying members of several major video platforms was not large, and the total number of the entire network was less than 1000 million. The total number of members of Huanshi.com and Penguin Video Network was only 500 million. The two major video platforms estimate that "Fatal Identity" has It may reach more than tens of millions of effective clicks.

In addition, there are advertisements, so the domestic online copyright income of "Fatal Identity" is expected to exceed 2000 million, which is almost equivalent to the production cost of the film.

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

Not only is Chen Jingxing happy here, but there are also marketing accounts on the Internet who have analyzed the profitability of "Fatal Identity" based on public information, and the profit of more than ten times has also ignited the topic of discussion.

Objectively speaking, it added another firewood to the already hot film and television industry, and accelerated the accumulation of hot money. After the news came out, the stocks of Huanshi.com and several companies that invested in DreamWorks all ushered in a sharp rise.

DreamWorks is not a listed company, but its valuation is also soaring. Some say 20 billion, some say 30 billion. Many domestic entertainment companies and even companies that have nothing to do with the entertainment industry are asking DreamWorks if they have any plans to raise funds in the future.

And DreamWorks and several partners also announced the next movie project while the iron is hot.

When they heard that DreamWorks would shoot two sci-fi films next, the media and netizens became excited.

Under Chen Jingxing's Weibo, netizens are having heated discussions:
[Is the director going to make two films at the same time? ]

[No, I saw DreamWorks Weibo said that it was continuous shooting, not simultaneous shooting]
[Still at work, I was so happy when I just got this news, I almost screamed, I am not a fan of sci-fi movies, but Director Chen's movies are so to my liking! ]

[Upstairs, I understand your feelings, that is, to respect the IQ of the audience, there are constant surprises during the viewing process, and after careful consideration, it is unexpected, but reasonable]
[I am a sci-fi fan. I think the most interesting thing about Director Chen’s movies is that the sci-fi concept is very cool, but it can be perfectly integrated into the story without any sense of disobedience]
[Is there anyone who can analyze the story of "Signal" and "Source Code" from the name? It seems to be related to computers, a story about programmers? ]

[Didn't Director Chen post it before?It is said that it is going to make a story about the relationship between father and son, it should be one of the two movies]

[Is it about the relationship between father and son?What is the relationship with the signal source code?I feel out of reach]

[Hey, don't worry about it, "Comet" is still a story of eight friends having a dinner together. Can you imagine the unfolding of God behind it?It's both quantum and feline, even involving parallel worlds, so many tricks can be done in one house.

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 sci-fi concept suddenly pops up in a normal world, don’t guess, just go to the movie theater to get a surprise when the time comes]

[Good guy, not long ago it was a desert of sci-fi movies, and then I thought it was the spring of sci-fi movies, and now it’s summer? ]
[Yes, there are too many sci-fi movies that have been rumored to be filmed for a while, and it is "Unthinkable" and "Dark Labyrinth". Didn't Tianhu.com also say that they will shoot "Mechanical Man 2"? ?In addition to Director Chen’s two films, I never thought our country’s sci-fi films would gather together. I couldn’t have imagined this scene a year ago]

[...Is it the Robot Man I know?Could this be getting a sequel?The ending didn't leave any suspense, what's there to continue? ]
[Hey, it's all just following the trend, isn't this problem in the entertainment industry?When a topic becomes popular, everyone squeezes in, and when the tide recedes, you will know who is running naked]
[The one above is too pessimistic. I was not optimistic about domestic sci-fi films, mainly because I thought we couldn’t make such special effects, but Chen Jingxing made me change this view. Sci-fi films can also be small and beautiful, Good sci-fi movies can be made without special effects]
[The idea is too beautiful, if you don’t rely on special effects, you have to rely on stories. If you have the ability to tell a good story, the Huaguo film industry is not what it is now]

[Haha, I checked again just now, and I missed a movie. Fengshen.com also wants to make a sci-fi movie, but it's an online movie called "Fatal Comet"]
["Deadly Comet"... the truth makes people unable to hold back]

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

For the sci-fi movie trend in the film industry, Chen Jingxing was a little surprised and felt it was reasonable.

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

However, if you take a closer look at these messy sci-fi projects, most of them don't have much investment, and some are even online movies. Several established studios have not participated in this follow-up.

As for the "Fatal Comet", it was indeed playing around the edges. Seriously speaking, there was nothing he could do about it, and he didn't care about it.

No one knows better than him that the spring of Huaguo's sci-fi movies is still early. The final outcome of these sci-fi projects following the trend is likely to be submerged by the tide, and there will not be a few waves. If there is really someone who can make a name for himself It's a surprise.

The most urgent thing Chen Jingxing is facing now is casting.

"Source Code" is not in a hurry yet, and is still doing preparatory work, especially to build a huge studio, make a moving car model, and set up a green screen.

In the special effects company that has just invested, Mo's boss, Xu Sheng, personally serves as the special effects director and art director, and is currently marking the special effects of the script.

The entire preparatory work of "Source Code" is in charge of 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 films, but I don't know what kind of py deal Penguin Video and Huanshi.com made.

After final negotiation, "Signal" was co-produced by DreamWorks Fantasy World and United Cinemas.

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