Peninsula Entertainment Starts as a Writer

Chapter 38
In less than 50 minutes, the Star You project raised more than 500 million (about 2.8), and in less than 14.5 hours, the Star You successfully raised 3000 million (about 16.9), and the cumulative number of participants exceeded 2.

500 million is the minimum fundraising goal for the Tumblbug website, and 3000 million is almost the median line for the amount raised by the Tumblbug project. The project is 50 month, or even 14.5 months away.

The most important thing is that the instant payment operation model launched with Xinggui means that project sponsors can already calculate the collection time with their fingers.

Laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the doorway.

With the popularity of Xingyou and Tumblbug on SNS, more and more practitioners related to art and design have turned their attention to Tumblbug.

Tumblbug was founded one year and four months ago. Before the Lezhin Comic project appeared, the highest crowdfunding amount was only 1 million, and now Lezhin Comic is only 3 million, which is far inferior to its predecessor on the other side of the Pacific-Kickstarter.

This is not to say that the three of Li Yongjun and the others encourage the project sponsors to wantonly increase the amount of crowdfunding and do such stupid things, but they are looking forward to the appearance of crowdfunding projects like movies.

It is reasonable for an excellent film to crowdfund hundreds of millions to billions!
And now, it's really here.

Less than half an hour after Tumblbug's battle report was sent out, the phone of Tumblbug's customer service department rang one after another.

Han Zidong and Liu Chengcan, who were far away in Yushui Cave, also received several movie outlines.

In the studio, Liu Chengcan turned into a ruthless tool man and read a movie script outline to Han Zidong.

"It's too rough." After reading the outline of the script, Liu Chengcan couldn't help complaining before Han Zidong could comment: "I guess I wrote such a rough outline now."

"For a movie with this kind of theme, if you really wait until the script is finished before attracting investment, you may have to wait for a few years. Besides, people don't know you well, so shouldn't you keep a more detailed script?"

After Han Zidong finished drawing the speech bubble in his hand, he began to reply to Liu Chengcan.

"Movie crowdfunding is not a new thing, not to mention your American counterparts, but also in the mainland of the peninsula. This year's comic book "26 Years" is the first movie to be crowdfunded by audiences. It seems that it just wrapped up two days ago."

"Is there such a thing?"

Liu Chengcan took out his mobile phone and searched, and sure enough, there was news about the completion of this movie.

"26 Years" is the work of cartoonist Jiang Cao. The plot involves Gwangju and the generals of the whole country. The subject matter is quite sensitive. It has been withdrawn by investors many times, and finally had to raise part of the filming funds from the audience.

"Really, Dafa, do you have a clone? In addition to drawing comics and writing plans, you can still maintain news sensitivity." Liu Chengcan couldn't help but sigh.

Be sensitive of course, film and television is his second ax for Lezhin Comic besides paid operation!Han Zidong thought so.

Thinking of the core question, Liu Chengcan asked: "Speaking of which, can this movie recover its cost?"

Han Zidong didn't answer directly, but asked instead: "The movie is expected to be released at the end of the year, will you watch it then?"

"Of course." The hot-blooded young man Liu Chengcan tidied up his sleeves: "No matter who scolds the military government in the past, I, Liu Chengcan, must help out."

Han Zidong nodded, probably because of the support of many Liu Chengcans, the film performed well after it was released.

After its release, "26 Years" won the single-day box office champion for many consecutive days, beating local films "My PS Partner" and "Wolf Boy" in the same period, as well as overseas films "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn", "Guardian "League of Players" passed the revenue line in less than 13 days after its release.

He also spent money to watch this film, but he can only say that it is not even good enough to be used. There are big problems in the depth of the plot and the rhythm of the narrative. Of course, it is not ruled out that it is for the review.

But this also shows that as long as the film has enough gimmicks and the subject matter is attractive enough, it is not a problem to recover the investment cost.

"By the way, the name of the last movie you read is..."

""Ghost Town"! The theme of comfort women."

Han Zidong slid the swivel chair, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and stared blankly at Liu Chengcan, who belatedly asked, "Do you like this movie very much?"

You are asking me about a masterpiece that beat "Deadpool", "Zootopia", "London Has Fallen" and many other films, and has held the box office single-day champion for more than ten consecutive days.

They are still asking me about the awesome movie that has been released for less than a month and has a cumulative viewership of 350 million.

Han Zidong doesn't know the specific rate of return of "Ghost Town", but its rate of return is absolutely impossible to be less than double, including the income from overseas box office, copyright fees and DVD distribution, it can't beat three times.

In the original timeline, the producer of "Ghost Town" has been working hard for 14 years, and it was also under the crowdfunding of the audience that he finally delivered "Ghost Town" to the audience in 2016.

"Don't be in a hurry to give the other party permission. Let the producer sort out the project book first, at least so that the sponsor can see the tears."

"Tears?"

"Yes, tears. And you give me the contact information of this producer, and I will take him."

Liu Chengcan was dizzy, and without thinking too much, he handed over the number of "Ghost Town" producer Zhao Zhenglai to Han Zidong.

Han Zidong slowly looked away, and then said: "By the way, I don't like the one you just read, the next one."

Liu Chengcan held the notebook and continued to read the outline of the script softly: "This film is called "Another Promise", and it is adapted from the incident of a Samsung semiconductor factory employee suffering from cancer..."

What's going on today? With so many popular independent films from later generations coming to him, Han Zidong lamented his luck.

However, thinking that because of the subject matter of these independent films, it took many years of crowdfunding to raise funds for shooting in the original timeline, he was relieved, and this wave was called just in time.

"26 Years" has a preparation period of 5 years, "Ghost Town" has a preparation period of 14 years, and "Another Promise" was released in 2014, which means that its preparation period is at least two years. Considering that the Samsung Semiconductor incident began in 2007 , the preparatory period may also have to add a few more years.

He has never watched this movie, but only heard that in 2018, the proud Samsung bowed his head and admitted his mistake, promising to gradually implement compensation for all cancer-stricken workers in the next ten years.

"Brother Cheng Can, you said that if there is a lot of resistance to one thing, it may not be possible to get the expected return afterwards, is it necessary for us to do it?"

No matter how stupid Liu Chengcan was, he could still guess that Han Zidong was asking about the movie in his hand.

Unlike the national pain of comfort women, "Another Promise" aimed at the theme of occupational diseases, and it was playing the giant Samsung, so it will encounter more or less minor problems when it is expected to be released in the future.

Should a film destined to struggle and with poor expectations be sponsored?

In the eyes of others, maybe it shouldn't be, but who made him a hot-blooded young man!

"It is necessary. If we don't do it, who else is willing to do it? In addition to making excellent performances, Tumblbug also has the responsibility to help artists realize their dreams."

"I can't tell, Brother Cheng Can is also a hero!"

Han Zidong gave Liu Chengcan a thumbs-up: "Okay, then I will work harder, you give me his contact information, and I will take them with me."
