Chapter 149 Amazing Box Office

A few years later, what is the reviewer of the movie "Seven Swords Down the Mountain Fighting the Evil Demon" or the audience who watched the movie?

Bad movies.

It's undoubtedly a bad movie.

There are many disadvantages to tell.

For example, the scene layout is simple, the props are extremely rough, the actors have poor acting skills, all kinds of mistakes are out, and the plot is bloody and embarrassing.

In short, this is a bad movie that makes future viewers feel full of urine and cannot accept it.

But once this movie was released, the sensational effect it caused will be talked about in the next hundred years, believing that this movie has created an era.

An era of cultural prosperity.

In the history of the development of the film industry, this is a beginning and a tall milestone.

All the movies in later generations, whether in lines, plots, storyboards, or story rhythms, can more or less see the shadow of "Seven Swords Down the Mountain to Fight the Evil Demon".

In the context of that time, this movie was a legend that created history and a classic that imitated and paid tribute to countless works!

So, what story does "Seven Swords Down the Mountain Fight the Evil Demon" tell?

It is said that a long time ago, evil cultivators on earth were rampant. There was an immortal living on a mountain called "Kunlun". The immortal adopted seven disciples with high talent. Seeing that the evil cultivators in the mortal world were rampant and wanted to kill mortals, the immortal sent seven disciples down the mountain to kill evil spirits and protect the safety of mortals.

Because the seven disciples are good at using swords, they are called "Seven Swords".

After the Seven Swords went down the mountain, they quickly fought against all kinds of powerful evil cultivators, but they were no match for the Seven Swords. The Seven Swords were as powerful as the swords, and they entered the evil cultivator's nest, but unfortunately they were ambushed. Four swords in the Seven Swords died heroically, and the remaining three swords fought their best to finally kill the demon. The turbid air in the mortal world was wiped out and the righteous energy returned to their positions.

At the end of the movie, the ashes of the Three Swords carrying the Four Swords, and return to Kunlun in the bleak sunset... It is long-lasting.

Just from the script story, this movie is really exciting and there is no big problem.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Ming used this movie to premiere within the Jinmu system, which caused a great deal of revelation.

Even the actors involved in the filming opened their eyes wide and felt unbelievable.

Murmuring to myself: Is this the story they took?

"Excellent, so wonderful!" Some students were so excited that they applauded desperately!

"Those evil cultivators are really hateful. They should be killed, they should be killed!" Some students with too strong sense of substitution hated the evil cultivators in the movie and gritted their teeth.

"Wuwuwu~ Four swords died so miserably, Wuwuwuwu, I don't want them to die!" Many girls started crying, feeling sad for the tragic sacrifice of Four swords.

"I will also become a person like Seven Swords in the future, learn powerful martial arts, and destroy all the evil demons in the world!"

"Class Chen En, the Sun and Moon Sword you played is so outstanding. I admire you so much. You can sign me."

"Student Zhang Yu, can I make friends with you? I like the girl Yuanying you play so much. Can we invite you to have a meal together?" Several female classmates walked up to Zhang Yu and asked very shyly that they wanted to make friends with her, which made Zhang Yu quite flattered. She said with a smile that yes, and several female classmates jumped up happily.

All actors, even those who play the villain, have gained a large number of fans, and each of them has gathered around them, asking for autographs or making friends, and they have become big stars.

Only Zhou Ming, the director who completed scripts, props, shooting, post-editing, etc., was forgotten in the corner.

Because he was not involved in the performance, no one except him was qualified for the position of "director".

So even though he had the urge to go up and perform, he still had to stay in front of the camera.

However, he was not in a low mood, but was very relieved.

Full of confidence!

Only from the premiere held in the Kaneki system, we can draw the conclusion that the movie "Seven Swords Down the Mountain Fighting the Evil Demon" will definitely be a great success!

So he expanded the scope of the film screening.

He held three large-scale screenings in the college's largest indoor auditorium that can accommodate ten thousand people.

In the first session, due to the lack of publicity, only more than 8,000 students entered the venue.

During the second screening the next day, the school auditorium was full and more than 16,000 people were stuffed into it, doubled.

During the third screening, the auditorium had to restrict students from entering because more than 10,000 students who missed the first two screenings were waiting for 24 hours without eating or drinking, resulting in a maximum of 8,000 more people being stuffed into them.

In the college, "Seven Swords Down the Mountain Fighting the Evil Demon" caused a huge sensation and even attracted the attention of the leaders and professors of the college. These leaders and professors also got hundreds of tickets to participate in the third screening.

“So wonderful, so beautiful!”

"This... cannot be described, cannot be compared. I have never seen such a story in my life."

"It looks good, it looks so good!"

"Is this what the student did? A genius, a talented person who is so imaginative!"

"Zhou Yuan, was Zhou Yuan invented again? From Lingyuanbo Telegram, to Lingyuan Typewriter, to this movie... He brought us surprises again and again!"

"This student Zhou Yuan not only has a very high level of cultivation, but also is the star of invention of Daxian Academy. With such a genius, our Daxian Academy can only recruit one in decades."

"This is Zhou Yuan, the lucky star of our Daxian Academy. The academy will be proud of him in the future."

The leaders of the college highly praised him and praised him vigorously. They even added 50,000 points to the college to prevent it from happening, for fear that other colleges would take him away.

In addition, the commercial value of "movie"-related equipment has also been targeted by all businessmen with a keen sense of smell.

Every day, dozens or hundreds of businessmen are waiting at the door of Zhou Ming’s residence, and are offering sky-high prices to acquire invention patents for his movie-related equipment.

A merchant offered 1.5 billion spiritual coins.

Immediately I was suppressed by another businessman who offered 2 billion yuan.

"3 billion! 3 billion spirit coins!"

"3.5 billion, paid in five years!"

"4 billion, paid in ten years!"

"5 billion, paid in fifteen years!"

The highest bidder actually reached an astonishing five billion!

Zhou Ming was surprised by the businessman's work.

Speaking of invention patents for movie-related equipment, are they so valuable?

good.

It's so valuable.

Even if a merchant pays 10 billion to buy out the patent, Zhou Ming will not sell it.

Why?

Because it's so profitable to make movies!

In fact, in the first few months of filming, Zhou Ming invested 50 million yuan in spirit coins. After buying a piece of land in the city, he asked the construction team to build a large indoor cinema with 12,000 seats inside and can accommodate up to 12,000 viewers.

There are also some beverage and snack stalls in the theater, where viewers can eat snacks while watching movies... This is also a major source of income.

After the theater was completed at the end of May, Wan Cheng's first film in national history, "Seven Swords Down the Mountain to Fight the Evil Demons", was transferred to this theater for screening.

It is screened every three hours and eight shows a day.

As for the ticket price... 10 yuan per person is not very expensive.

There is another even better natural phenomenon: there are basically no nights in many areas of the Lingyuan Continent, and the dark days are only a few times a year, while the rest are almost all day long, so the movie cannot be screened in the open air and can only be watched indoors.

This means that large-scale piracy is unlikely to occur in many years to come.

If you want to watch a movie, you have to pay.

Because there are very few nights, people's work and rest time is not fixed, and there is no unified biological clock, the theater can operate continuously 24 hours a day.

45 million spirit coins.

In just one month, Zhou Ming made so much money with just one movie or one cinema.

Some people may shout that this is impossible, because no matter how much they calculate, they cannot earn so much.

But there was no way, Zhou Ming did make 45 million yuan. In one month, he basically made all the investment in building cinemas.

The movie viewing frenzy caused by "Seven Swords Down the Mountain to Fight the Evil Demon" in Zhenlin City is unimaginable. Not only are the scenes full, but they are even half overloaded. The theater capacity of 12,000 people is often stuffed into 16,000 or 18,000 people.

Multiply by the frequency of eight shows per day, as well as the income from snacks and beverages... a monthly income of 45 million spiritual coins has created a profit myth.

And this kind of movie viewing craze will last for at least a long time.

Because of the movie "Seven Swords", many viewers never get tired of watching it. Three, four, and five are very common, ten, and twenty are also uncommon. The population of Zhenlin City exceeds 20 million. If each person watches the movie on average once, it will be the box office of 200 million spirit coins.

What about promoting it to the entire Wancheng Kingdom?

That's simply unimaginable.

Therefore, Zhou Ming still held the patent for movies in his own hands and was reluctant to sell it.

Then he found a college to cooperate with it, and he produced technology, accounting for 50% of the shares. The college provided factory construction funds and talent support, as well as patent protection and long-term management, accounting for another 50% of the shares.

The two sides cooperate strongly and make every effort to develop the film culture industry.

At this time, someone probably complained about Zhou Mingsha, who was worth thousands or trillions of patents, and he actually distributed half of the patents to the college. Is there any problem with his mind?

In fact, if any product involving huge interests is not protected by powerful institutions and held in his hands, it will only attract a disaster, either forcibly snatched away or be maliciously copied... No matter how strong his personal strength is, he cannot stop a group of wolves, tigers and leopards.

Only by seeking strong institutions’ cooperation can interests be well protected.

Moreover, he only needs to provide technology, production, management, rights protection, etc., and he does not need to worry or work hard.

So when Zhou Ming proposed the intention to cooperate, the college leaders were overjoyed and immediately signed a cooperation agreement.

In addition, Zhou Ming did not forget those friends and classmates who participated in the filming of the movie "Seven Swords". He took out 30 million spiritual coins from the box office revenue and rewarded each of them with 1 million in the name of "film pay", which surprised them and refused.
Chapter completed!
