A few years later, what did the critics who talked about the movie "Seven Swords Down the Mountain to Fight the Demons", or the audience who watched the movie, say about the movie?

Bad film.

It's undoubtedly a bad movie.

The disadvantages can be said to be a whole bunch of them.

For example, the layout of the scene is simple, the props are rough and simple, the actors' acting skills are bad, all kinds of goofs fall out, and the plot is embarrassing.

In short, this is a bad movie that makes future audiences feel full of urine and can't accept it.

But once this movie came out, the sensational effect caused by it will make people Jingjing happy in the next hundred years, thinking that this movie has created an era.

An era of cultural prosperity.

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

All the movies of later generations, whether it is lines, plots, storyboards, or story rhythms, can more or less see the shadow of "Seven Swords Descending the Mountain to Fight Demons".

In the context of that time, this film is a legend that has created history, and it is a classic that countless works imitate and pay tribute to!

So, what is the story of "Seven Swords Descending the Mountain to Fight Demons"?

It is said that a long, long time ago, the evil cultivation in the world was rampant, there was a mountain called "Kunlun", there lived an immortal, the immortal adopted seven disciples with high talent, the immortal saw that the evil cultivation in the mortal world was rampant, wantonly killed mortals, so he sent seven disciples down the mountain, cut the evil and eliminate the demons, and protect the safety of mortals.

Because the seven disciples were good at using swords, they were called "seven swords".

After the seven swords went down the mountain, they quickly fought with all kinds of powerful evil cultivators, but they were not the opponents of the seven swords, the seven swords were like a broken bamboo, all the way into the lair of evil cultivators, but unfortunately they were ambushed, four of the seven swords died heroically, and the remaining three swords, with all their might, finally killed the devil, and the turbidity in the mortal world was swept away, and Haoran righteousness returned to its place.

At the end of the movie, the ashes of the three swords carrying the four swords are frozen, and under the sunset of Xiao Suo, they return to Kunlun, which is evocative.

Just from the story of the script, this movie is indeed very exciting, and I really can't find any major faults.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Ming took this movie and premiered it in the Jinmu Department, which caused a great stir.

Even the actors who participated in the filming of the film opened their eyes wide and felt incredulous.

Muttering: Is this really the story they filmed?

"Wonderful, it's so exciting!" Some students were enthusiastic and applauded desperately!

"These evil cultivators are so hateful, they should be killed, they should all be killed!" There are also students who have a strong sense of substitution, hating the evil cultivators in the movie to the core, and gritting their teeth.

"Woo woo ~ Sijian died too miserably, woo woo, I don't want them to die!" Many girls wept and felt sad for Sijian's tragic sacrifice.

"In the future, I will also become a person like the Seven Swords, learn strong martial arts, and get rid of the evil demons in the world!"

"Chen En, your performance of the Sun and Moon Sword is so brilliant, I admire you too much, you can sign it for me. ”

"Classmate Zhang Yu, can you make friends with me, I like you so much that you play the Yuanying girl, can I invite you to have a meal together?" Several female classmates walked up to Zhang Yu and very shyly proposed to make friends with her, which made Zhang Yu a little flattered, smiled and said yes, and the female classmates jumped up happily.

All actors, even those who play the villains, have gained a large number of fans, and each of them has gathered a few to dozens of people, either asking for autographs or making friends, and they have all become big stars.

Dudu Zhou Ming, the chief director who has completed a lot of work such as scripts, props, shooting, and post-editing, has been forgotten in the corner.

Because he is not involved in acting, there is no one but him who is qualified for the position of "director".

So even though he had the urge to go up and put on a show, he still had to stay in front of the camera.

But he was not depressed, but very pleased.

Confident!

Only from the fan Xiang at this premiere held in the Kaneki department, it can be concluded that the movie "Seven Swords Down the Mountain to Fight Evil Demons" will definitely be a great success!

So he expanded the range of film screenings.

He held three large-scale screenings in the college's largest indoor auditorium, which can accommodate 10,000 people.

In the first session, because the publicity was not very strong, only more than 8,000 students entered.

At the second screening the next day, the school auditorium was full, with more than 16,000 people crammed in, doubling the number.

At the time of the third screening, the auditorium had to restrict students' entry because more than 10,000 students who missed the first two screenings waited 24 hours without eating or drinking, resulting in a maximum of 8,000 people crammed in.

The huge sensation caused by "Seven Swords Descending the Mountain to Fight Evil Demons" even attracted the attention of the leaders and professors of the college, who also got hundreds of tickets to participate in the third screening.

"It's so exciting, it's so good-looking!"

"This ...... Indescribable, indescribable, I have never seen a story like this in my life. ”

"It's good-looking, it's good-looking!"

"This is what that student made up?

"Zhou Yuan, this was invented by Zhou Yuan again? From the Lingyuan wave telegraph, to the Lingyuan typewriter, and then to this movie...... He really surprised us time and time again!"

"Zhou Yuan, this student, is not only a high cultivator, but also a star of invention of Daxian Academy, such a genius, we Daxian Academy can only recruit one for decades!"

"Yes, this Zhou Yuan is the lucky star of our Daxian Academy, and the academy will definitely be proud of him in the future. ”

The leaders of the academy spoke highly of him, praised him vigorously, and even added another 50,000 college contribution points to him, as a precaution, for fear that other colleges would snatch him away.

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

Every day, dozens or hundreds of businessmen stand at the door of Zhou Ming's residence, offering sky-high prices to buy his invention patents for film-related equipment.

Some merchants offered 1.5 billion spirit coins.

was immediately pressed down by another businessman who offered 2 billion.

"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 reached an eye-popping 5 billion!

This businessman's handwriting surprised even Zhou Ming.

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

Not bad.

That's what it's worth.

Even if a businessman buys out the patent for 10 billion, Zhou Ming will not sell it.

Why?

Because making movies is so profitable!

In fact, a few months before the filming, Zhou Ming invested 50 million spirit coins, and after buying a piece of land, he asked the construction team to build a large indoor cinema with 12,000 seats inside, which can accommodate up to 12,000 moviegoers.

In the theater, there are also some drink and snack stalls where audiences can eat snacks while watching movies...... It's also a big source of income.

After the completion of this theater at the end of May, the first film in the history of Wancheng Kingdom, "Seven Swords Down the Mountain to Fight Evil Demons", was transferred to this newly built theater for screening.

Screenings are held every three hours, up to eight per day.

As for ticket prices...... 10 spirit coins per person, the price is not very expensive.

There is also an even better natural phenomenon: in many areas of the Lingyuan Continent, there is basically no night, and there are only a few dark days a year, and the rest are almost all daytime, so the movie cannot be shown in the open air, and can only be watched indoors.

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

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

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

45,000,000 spirit coins.

In just one month, with just one movie and one theater, Zhou Ming has earned so much.

Some people may shout that this is impossible, because no matter how much you calculate, you can't earn so much.

But there is no way, Zhou Ming did earn 45 million, and in a month, he basically earned all the investment in the theater.

The movie-watching frenzy caused by "Seven Swords Down the Mountain to Fight Evil Demons" in Zhenlin City is unimaginable, not only is the venue full, but even overloaded by half, and the theater capacity rated at 12,000 people is often crammed into 16,000 or 18,000 people.

Multiply that by the frequency of eight screenings per day, as well as the revenue from snacks and beverages...... The monthly income of 45 million spirit coins has created a true myth.

And this movie-watching craze will continue for at least a long time.

Because of the movie "Seven Swords", many viewers never get tired of watching it, three, four, and five brushes are very common, and ten or twenty brushes are not uncommon, and the population of Zhenlin City exceeds 20 million, if each person watches the movie once on average, it is a box office of 200 million spirit coins.

What about spreading to the entire country of Wancheng?

It's unimaginable.

Therefore, Zhou Ming still holds the patent for the film in his own hands and is reluctant to sell it.

Then he cooperated with the college, he contributed technology, accounting for 50% of the shares, and the college provided factory construction funds and talent support, as well as patent protection and long-term management, accounting for the other 50% of the shares.

The two sides will cooperate to develop the film culture industry.

At this time, it is estimated that some people will complain about Zhou Ming's stupidity, and he actually gave half of the patents worth tens of billions to the academy, is there something wrong with his brain?

In fact, any product involving huge profits, if it is not protected by a powerful organization, and it is clung to in the hands of a strong organization, it will only invite great disasters, and it will either be forcibly taken away or maliciously copied...... No matter how strong his personal strength is, he can't stop the wolves, tigers and leopards.

Only by seeking strong institutional cooperation can the interests be well protected.

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

So when Zhou Ming put forward the intention of cooperation, the leaders of the college were overjoyed and immediately signed a cooperation agreement.

In addition, those friends and students who participated in the filming of the movie "Seven Swords", Zhou Ming did not forget, took out 30 million spirit coins from the box office income, and rewarded each person with 1 million in the name of "salary", which surprised them all and refused again and again.

In the end, Zhou Ming still let them accept it, because compared with the total box office of "Seven Swords" a few years later, which exceeded 10 billion spirit coins, it was really a drop in the bucket and not worth mentioning.
