Chapter 718: The Death of a Domestic Blockbuster

After the popularity of "League of Legends", the first global synchronization update appeared with a unified global hero. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Bumblebee, the hero of the Transformers series.

At this moment, the Transformers series of toys and cartoons are also available worldwide.

As soon as the cool Autobots appeared, they detonated the enthusiasm of the public.

Various "Transformers" have been sold in various regions of the world, especially in North America and China.

At the same time, "Transformers" also signed a cooperation agreement with the world-famous car brand Phantom, and the first phase of the "Transformers" series of toys will use real brand models.

Phantom Cars also launched the Transformers concept car based on Transformers.

Ye Qiu has once again become the object of worship by countless people, and he can achieve this height when making toys, and there is no one in the world.

What's more, this is just Ye Qiu's unscrupulous behavior.

After half a year of serialization, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" has completely established the status of the first book of Huaguo Adventure, and driven by "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", online novel adaptations of film and television have also sprung up, and most importantly, the adapted film and television dramas have achieved good results.

At this time, the filming of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" was also in full swing.

Time flies, and the "League of Legends" S1 season championship finally decided the top 16 after more than 2 months of competition and entered the final finals.

The top 16 teams, thanks to the popularity of "League of Legends", have received capital injections and titles from brand manufacturers.

League of Legends pro players are already earning a good amount of money, even if they haven't won any accolades so far, but they're already a high-income group.

Game competitive TV channels, in fact, appeared in China a few years ago, but they are paid channels, and the viewers are not many, even less than one million.

However, with the vigorous development of the game industry in recent years, the call for free-to-play TV stations has been very high, but it has not been able to be approved.

The unprecedented popularity of "League of Legends", as well as the detonation around the world, and the increasing influence, especially the popularity of the game online live broadcast, have finally made the official realize that it is better to block it.

So CCTV passed the game competition free channel at the beginning of this year.

And this time, the S1 season championship league of "League of Legends" will become the key event of CCTV Game Competition Channel.

Free and paid are two completely different concepts, especially in China, how many TV viewers are there in China? billions, but the previous game competition paid channels have not even reached one million users.

But once it's free, it's completely different.

The key is that in order to build momentum for "League of Legends", Legend Technology has invested heavily in holding the S1 season Champions League.

The League of Legends S1 Season Finals adopts a World Cup model, with group matches and knockout rounds.

The sixteen teams will be divided into four groups with similar rules as the World Cup, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the quarterfinals, semi-finals, and finals!

This year, only teams from China will participate, but from the beginning of the S2 season, it will be a global event.

"League of Legends" S1 Season Finals, because of the high prize money, not only domestic attention, but also in the world, only players in countries with "League of Legends" agents are equally concerned.

And this year is the first year, so Ye Qiu and Legend Technology both attach great importance to it.

To this end, we do not hesitate to invest a lot of money to create the world's most luxurious game competition site.

The entire tournament will last for one week, with four days of group matches, two days of elimination, and one day of finals.

There will be not only exciting competitions, but also many related game-related programs.

"League of Legends" game character cosplay talent competition, beautiful girls from all over the country competed for beauty, interspersed throughout the competition.

Then voted on the official League of Legends official website by the audience.

THE COSPLAYER, THE CHARACTER WITH THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF VOTES, WILL BE THE EXCLUSIVE COSER OF LEAGUE OF LEGENDS UNTIL NEXT SEASON, AND OF COURSE THE PRIZE MONEY IS ALSO VERY LARGE.

At the same time, popular game streamers from all over the world will participate in the commentary, and the audience will also vote for the most popular commentator, who will become the exclusive game commentator for the next season of "League of Legends".

There are also new hero previews, as well as performances and competitions by heavyweight star teams in the entertainment industry, and so on.

It can be said that the first "League of Legends" championship competition is definitely rich and colorful enough.

At the same time, game agencies from various countries also sent commentators to the scene to comment, and this event can be said to be broadcast live to the world.

It's somewhat similar to ESWC, but it's only one game.

In just a few months, the daily sales of related props have exceeded the 10 million Chinese dollar mark, that is to say, the monthly revenue has exceeded 3 billion Chinese dollars, which is so eye-catching.

The point is, this number has been growing steadily.

Although the players of "League of Legends" overseas are not as many as those in China, the revenue is not inferior to that in China, and even surpasses, because the price of props in "League of Legends" is the lowest in China.

Among them, North America and island countries have become the most popular regions in "League of Legends" after China.

……

However, when the "League of Legends" S1 season Champions League achieved unprecedented success, the film market in China was once again full of mourning.

This year, the box office of China's film market has reached a new high, but few domestic films in China have performed very well, which is worse than the performance of China's domestic films in the previous life.

And most of the box office was swept away by Hollywood blockbusters, although the box office share of Hollywood blockbusters in China is also not high, and most of the money is still earned by distributors and theaters, but it is undeniable that under the strong attack of Hollywood blockbusters, domestic films have been beaten without the power to fight back.

Huaguo's big-budget movies are mediocre, but they are some small-budget sincere works, but they perform very well.

This can't help but make many media and filmmakers start to discuss, is it that domestic films hit the streets as soon as the investment is high?

It's just that no matter how successful a small-budget movie is, it still can't hide its shortcomings.

Maybe a small-budget film invests millions of dollars, and finally collects tens of millions at the box office, which is already very successful, but a big production invests more than 100 million, but the final box office only breaks 100 million, even if it breaks 200 million, it cannot be considered a success.

In terms of total box office capacity, the box office of several small-budget movies may not be as good as the other party's one.

Such a situation naturally makes people look forward to Ye Qiu's first big production "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" more and more.

It's just a pity that "Ghost Blows the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" will not be released until next year at the earliest.

However, this year is the year of big IP for online novels, because several TV series adapted from online novels this year have been very successful, and several other movies adapted from low-cost online novels have also sold well at the box office.

This has also made more people pay attention to online novels, and the first to bear the brunt is naturally Qidian Chinese.com has become the biggest beneficiary.
