Chapter 310: Change to a New Major! Three at a Time!

Since the day when "Toy Story 5"'s single-day box office was surpassed by "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 dropped below 100 million.

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

Everybody knows.

There won't be another Toy Story movie.

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

In contrast, Little Kitty 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 are developing 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$210 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 Kitten 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.

…

The Star Academy was also bustling with 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.

As for the students who are about to graduate this year, they are all a little disappointed mixed with expectations.

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 in a flash.

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, and then said: "Toy Story's global box office is two million more than ours..."

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

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

"We, beat Disney!"

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

The surpassing in total box office means officially defeating Disney.

What level is Disney?

It 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 our own company?

A new company less than a year old.

A new IP less than a year old!

In the case of all disadvantages, our own company can suppress the opponent from all aspects.

It's normal to be proud.

Even if it's boasted for a year, it's not too much.

Ye Chen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and his mood was very happy because of this news.

Although Ye Chen didn't care much about Disney's suppression.

But Disney took the initiative to suppress, and the result was not as good as his own.

Just thinking about this matter makes Disney embarrassed.

I can only say that my students are really 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 $210 million at that time was completely different from the current value.

So my little cat Zhou Zhou seemed to have surpassed it, but in fact it was only surpassed in data.

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

It may not even be much stronger than 20 years ago.

At a time when the currency is constantly depreciating, no one has been able to break the overseas record of 20 years ago.

In the end, it has to rely on its own children's animation to break the record.

I can only say that the entire domestic film and television industry is really lame.

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

But now no one abroad watches Chinese movies at all, and they are even worse than 20 years ago. What kind of cultural export is there?

Fortunately, my own film and television academy will open in the next academic year.

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

…

Under the suppression of Disney, little cat Zhou Zhou is about to successfully overtake.

The significance is quite huge.

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

But there is definitely a 10 billion net profit.

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

That is, 700 million.

As for China, after deducting the share of theaters, film funds, taxes, distribution, etc.

The actual share is about 40%.

If the box office in China is 10 billion, then the share is almost 400 million.

400 million plus 700 million, it will take off directly.

The bottom line profit of more than 1.1 billion is a very perfect result.

And the best thing about Xiaomao Zhouzhou.

It is that it can obviously be made into a series of movies.

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

Every time you change places, you have new experiences.

If you get bored in China, go abroad for travel.

As long as the production team is attentive and not perfunctory, each one can use different customs and customs to present a work that people will never get bored.

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

With an annual income of more than 1 billion, it can definitely become the cash cow of Xingchen Academy.

Provide a steady stream of funds for the development of Xingchen Academy.

The most important thing is the profitability of Xiaomao Zhouzhou, which is far more than one movie every year.

In the future, there will be two seasons of animation and one movie every year.

The licensing price has risen due to the popular IP in the outside world.

It can be said that it is definitely not a problem for a Xiaomao Zhouzhou to bring 2 billion net profits to Xingchen Academy every year.

And in the future Xingchen Paradise, Xiaomao Zhouzhou will definitely have a place.

Moreover.

For the entire Xingchen Animation Company, Xiaomao Zhouzhou is just the beginning.

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

But that is already the next semester.

…

Through the income of the animation company.

Ye Chen deeply realized the profitability of cultural products.

In short, as long as the work can be popular.

Making money is much easier than industry.

It is now the end of June.

The summer vacation in July is about to come.

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

Open the system.

Ye Chen immediately flipped to the majors 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 required in the teaching process. And the qualifications and procedures for running relevant majors..."

"Exchange price: 1 billion RMB!"

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

...

"Music Major: Including composers, creators, singers and various musical instrument teaching masters, providing corresponding equipment and training rooms. And the qualifications and procedures for running relevant majors..."

"Exchange price: 1 billion RMB!"

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

...

"Game production major: including professional masters of game programming, production, art, script, music and other subjects, providing corresponding equipment, training rooms. And related professional qualifications and procedures..."

"Exchange price: 1 billion RMB!"

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

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

The exchange price of each major is 1 billion RMB.

A total of 3 billion.

To be honest, it's really not expensive.

When the students of the film major have internships, they will start filming the live-action drama and live-action movie of the Sleeping Immortal series.

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

It will be easy to earn back the 1 billion invested.

And through live-action dramas, the influence of animation works can be further expanded.

Forming a feedback between majors.

And songs are even more needless to say.

Nowadays, various music festivals and concerts are popular.

As long as students can write good songs, they can kill the charts that are now full of old songs.

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

It is also easy to earn back the investment.

Not to mention the copyright licensing fees of songs.

Of course, money is a small matter.

Now the subsidiaries of Xingchen Academy are constantly expanding, and the cash flow is healthy.

Ye Chen really doesn't care about the temporary income.

Exchange for film and television major.

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

Instead of opening the rankings, all kinds of old songs that are tired of listening.

At the same time, it can complement other majors.

For example, soundtracks, theme songs, and ending songs can all be provided by the company, and the quality will become higher.

...

Finally, there is the game production major.

Games are now called the ninth art.

And the scale of the game industry is also expanding.

For example, the famous original god in China has a higher annual profit than 90% of the listed companies in China.

Compared with the profits of the four major entertainment companies in Han Country, the profits of countless girl groups and boy groups who work hard to dance and shoot TV series and movies are twice as high.

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

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 them for time is games.

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

A Battlefield can make players better understand what happened in World War II.

An Assassin's Creed can make players know the history of the country of origin like the back of their hands.

A Wild Bunch can make players more impressed with 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 its overseas expansion is very strong.

But they are basically fast-food mobile games.

There are no works that can shock players.

Ye Chen used to play various games frequently during his college years.

Ye Chen believes that China should also have the kind of unforgettable masterpieces such as "The Witcher 3", "Fallout", and "The Elder Scrolls".

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

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

It is a game company from an island country, which 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 IPs makes Ye Chen feel very complicated.

Ye Chen hopes that after his own game major is opened, he can change all this...

At that time, let's not talk about anything else, first test the waters with Journey to the West.

Make a real triple-A-level Journey to the West masterpiece.

Let Journey to the West be popular all over the world and let more people know it.

Instead of mentioning Sun Wukong, most people in the world will only think of Super Saiyan and seven dragon balls at 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.

Like the Sleeping Immortal series, the potential must be huge.

At that time, making games can not only allow Sleeping Immortal to cover a wider range of people, but also make a lot of money by monetizing IP.

It's a win-win situation.

In short.

Once these three new majors are opened.

Xingchen Academy can directly achieve cultural and entertainment integration.

Through the mutual cooperation between majors, more excellent and more influential works can be produced.

Thus, the effect of one plus one is greater than two can be achieved.

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 thinks it is not enough.

Ye Chen hopes that one day, when a foreign guy is dating his girlfriend.

He will choose to eat high-end Chinese food.

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

Then they will say a few Chinese proverbs and ancient poems to show off their elegance.

When going abroad for a honeymoon, the place you want to go most will be China.

Only in this way can China be considered really strong and return to the top of the world.

And this is obviously still far away.

It requires that culture, economy, and strength all reach their peak.

In terms of economy and strength, Ye Chen cannot bring much influence for the time being.

But Ye Chen hopes to be the world's top in culture first.

Instead of the current situation where comics are from the island country and TV series are from the cold country and the beautiful country...

So.

At this moment, Ye Chen did not hesitate to change all three majors...
