Chapter 243 241. Why did you become popular?!

Soon, Liu Zhiping bought the copyright of the movie "The Wandering Earth" from Liu for 300,000 yuan, and promised that if he could make money at the box office in the future, Liu would be given 1% of the net profit.

If the net profit is 100 million, then Da Liu can get 1 million.

Liu Cixin explained the purpose of the other party throughout the whole process to the end of signing the contract, which did not last more than half an hour in total.

He was all confused.

Liu himself never thought that he would make so much money. Is Bomi Company crazy?

What kind of rich company is this?

When Liu himself was a writer, he sent his works to the science fiction world, he was charged 50 thousand words, 50,000 words, and he could get a total of 2,500 yuan in royalties.

Liu's Wandering Earth was a work published in 2000. At that time, it was such a luxury to be able to get more than 2,000 yuan in royalties.

In 2004, the top writers of Qidian Chinese website paid almost 4,000 yuan per month.

So when Bomi gave him 300,000 yuan at once, Liu was extremely shocked and extremely confused.

"The Wandering Earth" adds up to only more than 50,000 words, so how can it be sold for hundreds of thousands?

300,000 is simply an astronomical figure for him.

For people of this era, it is an astronomical number.

Liu hesitated for a moment at first, wondering if he had been deceived, but then he saw Liu Zhiping's words were quite certain, and the other party showed him information about Bomi. Now Bomi Company wants to make "The Wandering Earth" into a 3D science fiction blockbuster.

When he heard this, Liu Xinran agreed.

If you can really use your own works to make a 3D science fiction blockbuster, it will be worth it!

...

In the next few months, Cao Yang will basically live in Bomi Film and Television, and Ai Xiaomi will also give up his office to Cao Yang alone.

He is busy drawing concept drafts for "The Wandering Earth" every day, and Bomi also invited Liu Cixin to serve as an advisor. If there is any science fiction knowledge that needs advice, or if it deviates from the original work, he should ask Liu for advice.

In addition, Bomi also invited some physics scholars to serve as consultants in order to ensure the shocking sense of science fiction blockbusters as much as possible.

Cao Yang is so busy that he is busy every day that he has not had such a strong creative pleasure since the previous Shanhai Jing.

By May, the concept drawing was completed, and the details were almost discussed. Ai Xiaomi found more than a dozen people to help draw the storyboard.

This process will last about a month.

The total of the mirrors is about 5,000, and they are basically made with special effects.

The more detailed the storyboard is, the less problems there will be in the post-production.

In May, Cao Yang was busy drawing a concept picture in the office, when suddenly Ai Xiaomi broke in from outside the door.

"Boss! Not good."

Ai Xiaomi said panting.

But she thought for a while and then shouted, "Boss, that's great!"

"Ah?!" Cao Yang raised his head, confused.

What exactly happened?

Can you actually combine [Bad] and [Great] together at the same time?!

Is there really such a ghost in the world?!

"No, boss, you will understand if you open the link I sent you." Ai Xiaomi said.

"What the hell?"

Cao Yang gave her a blank look, slid his mouse skeptically, and opened the link sent by Ai Xiaomi to him.

www.tudou.com:v?vid=171366&pd=bjh&fr=bjhauthor&type=video

Seeing the domain name in front, Cao Yang frowned.

Why does this look familiar?

After opening the link, Cao Yang immediately reacted—

This is Tudou.com.

Tudou.com can be said to be the earliest streaming website in China, and the birth of youtube is all about the past and future.

On Valentine's Day in February this year, the U.S. YouTube website was just established and the first video was released last month.

The first video in YouTube history, lasting only 19 seconds

On April 23, 2005, YouTube co-founder Karim released the first video in YouTube history titled "I'm in the Park". As the titled, in that video, Karim stood in front of elephants at the San Diego Zoo, talking about their prolonged noses.

This website will develop into the world's largest video sharing website in the future, and it is just starting now.

Just two months after YouTube was born, on April 15, Tudou.com, the first video website in China, was established. Tudou.com was the UGC model like YouTube at the beginning.

However, Wang Wei, the founder of Tudou, did not copy youtube. Think about it, these two websites are just a relationship, with a gap of 2 months between. Moreover, the first video of youtube was posted after Tudou was established. In terms of time, Wang Wei has no possibility of plagiarism.

It can be said that although the starting point of the establishment of UGC streaming media websites in the East and the West is different, the final output form is the same.

All websites are built with users uploading, sharing, browsing and forwarding videos as the core.

Wang Wei has always had a rebellious literary talent in his heart, and he insisted on becoming UGC.

The so-called UGC, User Generated Content, refers to the pattern in which the user generates content himself.

Users are both the maker of videos and also the consumer of videos.

In contrast, the PGC model is: professional teams produce content and users purchase it.

Netflix is ​​a typical PGC mode, and youtube is a typical UGC mode.

Wang Wei wanted every Chinese to become a director of life. Just like later he insisted on doing light-chasing animation, and wanted to create Pixar in China, and fought repeatedly and repeatedly.

Later, when he chased light, he made a masterpiece of domestic animation "White Snake: Origin".

Now, it is May 15, 2005.

Potato has been on the spot for a month, but during the period when it appeared, Boss Cao was so busy that he did not pay attention to the birth of such a landmark Internet product.

Cao Yang clicked on the link Ai Xiaomi sent him and entered the Potato playback page.

[Movie version: "The Night of Glory of Kings"]

"When did we make the movie version?" Cao Yang felt confused and completely confused.

Could it be that Ai Xiaomi took it secretly?

Can this guy be so smart?

"Oh, no, this is the player, ah, this is the content cut by users using our TV series version." Ai Xiaomi explained.

this……

Is there such a thing?

Cao Yang felt even more confused.

In the picture, what caught my eye was a burning flame.

The whole sky was burning.

A sound came from the screen, "That day, flames appeared above the city, like sea water, swallowing the entire earth."

After the flames disappeared, Wei Feng, played by Chen Kun, suddenly sat up from the bed.

"Huhuhu~" He gasped and covered his forehead with his hands.

"I've had the dream of that day again..."

...

One and a half hours later, Cao Yang looked at the end of the scene and was stunned.

"Damn it! This is what we took?!"

Cao Yang turned around and looked at Ai Xiaomi.

"Uh...most of them are, or 99% are," Ai Xiaomi said embarrassingly, "The picture is basically cut by this classmate from our TV series and spliced ​​together in another order. The original interval is not so smooth and there is some sense of separation. This person uses dubbing and blank space to connect it.

I'm pretty complete now."

Damn it!

Cao Yang's eyes remained motionless.

It's more than just complete, you're simply scared, okay?

After this person finished editing, it was really like that. If he hadn't watched a TV series before, he wouldn't have any sense of incongruity when watching a movie version edited by players.

and……

Not only does it have no sense of incongruity, but also because of his editing, many insignificant emotional lines in the TV series version were reduced. The main line of the whole story became clear and turned into a very simple battle that arises for the Holy Grail.

After the whole movie, at least half of the time spent fighting for one and a half hours, and this part happened to be the most expensive special effects part of Ai Xiaomi's production.

The irrelevant things were abandoned, and the plot of the whole movie became complete and compact, with a very bright and prominent sense of rhythm. Although the story and emotional lines were weak, the entire fight was extremely exciting, and there was basically no point in urine.

It looks like a very standard popcorn movie.

"This..." Cao Yang didn't know where to complain.

Damn...
