City: Become a principal from junior college!

Chapter 310 Redeem for a new major! Three at a time!

From the day that the single-day box office of "Toy Story 5" was surpassed by "Kitten Porridge".

Toy Story 5 seems to be completely deflated.

After the peak of the first week, the box office began to decline rapidly.

No longer a match for Kitten Porridge.

On the ninth day, the global single-day box office even fell below 100 million.

Arguably the worst-performing installment in the Toy Story series.

Everybody knows.

There should be no next Toy Story movie.

This childhood memory of many people can finally come to an end.

In contrast, Little Kitten Porridge was widely publicized by the media because it surpassed Toy Story at the box office in a single day, adding to the popularity.

The global single-day box office of "Little Cat Porridge" almost hit 200 million yuan.

It has amazed countless practitioners.

Everybody knows.

Kitten Porridge will definitely set a box office record for children's animation.

June 20th.

The peak box office period of "Little Cat Porridge" has finally passed.

The single-day box office began to plummet.

There are only about ten million left.

Just talking about the domestic market, the single-day box office is only a few million.

The screening is not far away.

The movie release cycle is like this, basically making money in the first week or two weeks.

Adding up the days after that, you may not be able to make as much money in one day as you did during your peak period.

It’s rare to see something like Mao Mao Porridge that can be popular for twenty days.

On the 20th.

The global box office of "Little Cat Porridge" has officially reached 3 billion yuan.

Domestic box office of one billion.

Overseas box office of 2 billion.

It can be said that it is extremely rare in China, and the foreign box office is higher than the local box office.

This achievement undoubtedly shocked the entire Chinese film and television industry.

With the development of the domestic economy, there are more and more movie theaters.

Although the domestic box office of a film reaching 1 billion is excellent, it is not actually top-notch.

Sometimes it may not even make it into the top ten domestic box office charts.

A box office of three to four billion is no longer a legend.

There are one or two every year.

For example, last year, there was a New Year movie about a bear infestation, which took in a box office of 1.2 billion yuan.

What really amazes all practitioners is the overseas market performance of Mao Mao Porridge.

Two billion yuan.

This completely refreshed the overseas record of Chinese films.

For a long time, Chinese movies have become more and more popular and developed better and better.

But going to sea has become increasingly difficult.

No matter how popular a movie is in China, it is difficult to get any response abroad.

Before Mao Mao Porridge, China's overseas box office record had always been dominated by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" with US$2.1 million.

For so many years, no Chinese film has been able to break through.

No one thought of it.

Now it turns out to be a children's animation, breaking the record set by Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

It's incredible.

It can be said that the animation "Little Cat Porridge" is definitely enough to be included in China Film and Television.

While feeling emotional, everyone also felt even more sorry.

It’s a pity that the schedule of Kitten Porridge is June 1st.

It’s a pity that Little Cat Porridge was targeted by Disney and its box office was diverted.

otherwise.

With the potential shown by Mao Mao Porridge, the box office can definitely be higher.

……

Inside Star Academy, there was also a lot of excitement.

It's now more than June, and the fifth academic year of Star Academy is coming to an end.

Star College has a tradition of holding innovative cooking competitions and e-sports challenges at the end of each school year.

The heat is very high.

The students who are about to graduate this year are filled with a mixture of sadness and anticipation.

Star College is a university that meets all their expectations for a university.

Let them feel the purest happiness on campus.

Now that I am finally graduating, three years of college seem to have flown by.

They were all very reluctant to give up.

But in addition to the feeling of reluctance, they were also full of expectations.

Because of the knowledge they learned in the academy and their status as Xingchen students.

It is enough that as soon as they enter society, they will get many opportunities that ordinary people may not be able to get after more than ten years of hard work.

As for the Academy's films, it has created overseas box office history for domestic films.

While the students were proud of it, they were not too shocked.

Star Animation Company is a subsidiary of Academy Holdings.

The employees are all students majoring in animation.

Isn’t it reasonable to do this? Nothing to be surprised about.

Inside the principal's office of Star College.

The person in charge of Xingchen Animation Company was excitedly reporting the results to Ye Chen.

"Principal, the box office of Kitty Porridge has basically remained at 3 billion yuan."

"There are still fourteen days of release left."

"However, the subsequent results will have little impact on the total box office. At most, they will only increase the box office by another 100 million."

Although Kitten Porridge has not been released yet.

However, the box office curve of movie releases has corresponding rules.

The current box office is basically not much different from the final box office.

Ye Chen nodded when he heard this, very satisfied with this result.

Thinking of something, Ye Chen asked: "Where is the box office of Toy Story so far?"

The person in charge raised his lips: "Three billion yuan..."

Oh?

Ye Chen immediately raised his eyebrows, it was the same?

The person in charge paused for a moment, then said: "Toy Story's global box office is two million more than ours..."

"But their single-day box office has long since dropped to the million level."

"So tomorrow, we can officially surpass Toy Story in total box office."

"We defeated Disney!"

The pride on the face of the person in charge was not concealed at all.

Surpassing the total box office means officially defeating Disney.

What level is Disney?

That is a giant in the film and television industry and a god in the animation industry.

And Toy Story is one of Disney’s leading IPs.

And what about your own home?

A new company less than a year old.

A new IP born less than a year ago!

Even when they are all at a disadvantage, they can suppress their opponents from all aspects.

Pride is perfectly normal.

Even bragging for a year is not too much.

Ye Chen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, feeling very happy because of the news.

Although Ye Chen doesn’t care much about Disney’s suppression.

But Disney took the initiative to suppress it, and as a result, its results were not as good as its own.

Just thinking about this makes me embarrassed for Disney.

All we can say is that our students are indeed very strong.

As for breaking the overseas box office record of Chinese films, Ye Chen was not too excited.

After all, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was a movie 20 years ago.

The US$2.1 million at that time was completely different from the value now.

Therefore, it seems that our own kitty porridge has surpassed it, but in fact it is only surpassed in terms of data.

But this also shows that the domestic film and television industry has basically not developed much in recent years.

It may not even be much better than it was twenty years ago.

As the currency continues to depreciate, no one has been able to break the overseas record set twenty years ago.

In the end, we had to rely on our own children’s animation to break the record.

It can only be said that the entire domestic film and television industry is really stretched.

Movies are the best cultural output carrier in the 21st century.

But nowadays, no one abroad watches Chinese movies at all. It is not even as good as 20 years ago, and there is no talk of cultural export.

But fortunately, my own film and television school will open next school year.

I believe it will bring a little catfish effect to the domestic film industry.

……

Cat Porridge, under the pressure of Disney, is about to successfully overtake.

The significance is quite huge.

As for the box office and final profit, it is definitely impossible to calculate now.

But there is definitely a net profit of one billion.

For example, for the overseas box office of 2 billion, Star Animation Company, as the producer, has a fixed 35% share.

That’s 700 million.

In China, after excluding the share of theater chains, film funds, taxes, distribution, etc.

The real chance of getting it is about 40%.

If China has a box office of one billion, then it will be almost 400 million.      400 million plus 700 million, take off directly.

With a guaranteed profit of more than 1.1 billion, this is a perfect result.

And the best place for cat porridge.

It is obvious that it can be turned into a series of movies.

After all, the protagonist’s family only needs to travel.

Every time you change places, you have new experiences.

When you get bored at home, go travel abroad.

As long as the production team is careful and not perfunctory, each film can use different local conditions and customs to present a work that people will never get bored of.

If there is one movie every year, the box office will definitely not be worse than the first one, or even better.

With an annual income of more than one billion, it can definitely become the cash cow of Star Academy.

Provide a steady stream of funds for the development of Star College.

The most important thing is the profitability of Pussy Porridge, which is far from just one movie per year.

From now on, there will be two animation seasons and one movie every year.

The licensing price caused by the popular IP outside the world has increased.

It can be said that it is definitely not a problem that a Little Kitten Porridge brings a net profit of 2 billion to Star Academy every year.

In the future Star Paradise, there will definitely be a place for Kitten Porridge.

and.

For the entire Star Animation Company, Kitten Porridge is just the beginning.

The Sleeping Immortal in the New Year's Eve is the highlight.

But that is already next semester.

……

Through the proceeds of animation companies.

Ye Chen is deeply aware of the profitability of cultural products.

To put it simply, as long as the work is popular.

Making money is much easier than starting a business.

It is now the end of June.

The summer vacation in July is coming soon.

On my side, it is also necessary to redeem the new major in advance and warm it up.

Turn on the system.

Ye Chen immediately turned to the major he had collected in advance.

"Film and television major: including teaching masters of actors, directors, screenwriters, photography and other related subjects, providing the corresponding equipment and training rooms needed in the teaching process. As well as related professional school qualifications and procedures..."

"Exchange price: one billion yuan!"

"After the redemption is completed, you can get a special bonus: The King of Comedy!"

……

"Music major: including masters of arranger, creation, singer and various musical instrument teaching, providing corresponding equipment and training rooms. As well as relevant professional qualifications and procedures..."

"Exchange price: one billion yuan!"

"After the exchange is completed, you can get a special bonus: Guan Bao's acquaintance!"

……

"Game production major: including professional masters in game programming, production, art, script, music and other subjects, providing corresponding equipment, training rooms. As well as relevant professional qualifications and procedures..."

"Exchange price: one billion yuan!"

"After the exchange is completed, you can get a special bonus: King of Thunder!"

Ye Chen had already decided on these three majors in his mind.

The exchange price of each major is one billion yuan.

That adds up to three billion.

To be honest, it's really not expensive.

After the film major got an internship, he started filming the live-action series and live-action movies of the Sleeping Immortal series.

As long as the Sleeping Immortal series was already popular at that time.

You can easily make back the billion you invested.

Through live-action dramas, the influence of animation works can also be expanded to a greater extent.

Form feedback between majors.

Not to mention the songs.

Nowadays, various music festivals and concerts are popular.

As long as students can write good songs, let’s take a look at the rankings that are now full of old songs.

At that time, let the students jointly hold a few Xingchen student concerts and hold a music festival.

You can easily earn back your investment.

Not to mention the copyright licensing fees for songs and the like.

Of course, money or not is a trivial matter.

Nowadays, all subsidiaries of Star Academy are continuously expanding and have healthy cash flow.

Ye Chen really didn't care about his temporary income.

Redeem for film and television majors.

The main reason is to have good songs in the future.

Instead of opening the ranking list, it’s all old songs that you’re tired of listening to.

It can also complement other majors.

For example, the soundtrack, theme and ending music, etc., can all be provided in-house, and the quality will become higher.

……

Finally, there is the game production major.

Gaming is now called the ninth art.

The scale of the game industry is also constantly expanding.

For example, the well-known domestic company Genshin Impact’s annual profits are higher than the revenue of 90% of domestic listed companies.

It is twice as much as the profits of the four major entertainment companies in the cold country, the countless women's and men's groups who work hard to dance, and the profits of TV series and movies combined.

It can be said that the world has entered the era of entertainment.

The output value of the entertainment industry is constantly increasing.

In addition, short videos are popular all over the world.

Nowadays, the only industry that can compete head-on with short videos and compete with short videos for time is games.

At the same time, the cultural dissemination effect of games is very strong.

A Battlefield game that allows players to better understand what happened in World War II.

An Assassin's Creed allows players to have a thorough understanding of the history of their country.

A Whore in the Wilderness can make players more impressed by western culture and that period of history.

These are all examples of cultural communication brought about by games.

China's game industry is now very developed, and even going overseas is very aggressive.

But they are basically fast-food mobile games.

There is no work that can shock players.

When Ye Chen was in college, he often played various games.

Ye Chen believes that China should also produce unforgettable and shocking masterpieces such as "The Witcher 3", "Fallout" and "The Elder Scrolls".

So far, China’s most popular traditional cultural IP abroad is the Three Kingdoms.

But the problem is that the Three Kingdoms IP game was produced for an island country.

It is a game company based in the island country. It uses Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Dynasty Warriors to promote traditional Chinese cultural works to the world.

As a Chinese, watching game companies from other countries promote Chinese IP can only make Ye Chen feel very complicated.

Ye Chen even hopes to change all this after his own game major is opened...

Let’s not talk about anything else then, let’s test the waters with Journey to the West first.

Produce a true triple-A level Journey to the West masterpiece.

Let the work Journey to the West become popular all over the world and be known to more people.

Instead of mentioning Son Goku, most people in the world will only think of Super Saiyan and the seven Dragon Balls for the first time.

At the same time, the game production major can also be linked with other majors.

For example, if other majors have popular IPs, they can make corresponding games to make money.

For example, the Sleeping Immortal series has huge potential.

When the time comes to create a game, it will not only allow Sleeping Immortal to reach a wider audience, but also monetize the IP and earn a lot of money.

It's a win-win.

In short.

These three new majors were opened.

Star Academy can directly integrate entertainment within it.

Through mutual cooperation between majors, we can produce better and more influential works.

So as to achieve the effect of one plus one greater than two.

This is also of great benefit to promoting Chinese culture to the world.

In recent years, some people have always felt that China has become stronger.

But Ye Chen felt it was not enough.

Ye Chen even hopes that one day, a foreign guy will be on a date with his girlfriend.

Will choose to eat high-end Chinese food.

After tasting the expensive food, they will go to the cinema and watch Chinese movies.

Then I said a few Chinese proverbs and ancient poems that were arty and elegant.

When traveling abroad for your honeymoon, the place you most want to visit would be China.

Only in this way can China become truly powerful and return to the top of the world.

And this is obviously still far away.

It requires culture, economy, and strength to reach their peak.

In terms of economy and strength, Ye Chen is not able to have much impact yet.

But Ye Chen hopes to be world-class first in terms of culture.

Instead of like now, you have to read comics from island countries, and TV series from cold countries and beautiful countries...

and so.

At this moment, Ye Chen exchanged all three majors without hesitation...
