Chapter 686: Entering the Film Industry
Compared with the traditional music industry, although the film industry has also been affected by piracy and the Internet, because of the different ways of playback and the many recycling channels, it is still more profitable to invest in movies than to make music.

In this plane, with the construction of domestic theaters becoming more and more perfect, there are more and more large screens, and the screening of movies alone is enough to make investors make a lot of money.
Coupled with the sale of overseas copyrights, TV network broadcast rights, DVD and merchandise and many other recycling methods, as long as it is a sincere movie, it usually does not make investors lose money.
It's not good to make music, whether you have the sincerity to make a record or not, it's basically difficult to recover the cost now, and record companies often lose money making records, and they can only recover the cost by doing a limited number of concerts every year. Among them, not all kinds of singers can make money in concerts, and some singers will lose money when they hold concerts.
Only those music companies that spend a lot of money on publicity and cultivation - just like those popular idol groups in the national entertainment industry, as well as a limited number of gold medal singers in the music scene to hold concerts, can really make money.
And if you want to cultivate this kind of singer who can make money by holding concerts, the money that the record company throws down is not necessarily more than the money that you make back in the end, so in general, it is also very difficult to make money by taking this road.
In short, under the current market situation, it has become more and more difficult to generate income by making music, and people who are still working hard in this industry are either unable to transfer to other industries to start from scratch, or they really love music and want to continue to work hungry.
Lin Zaishan took beyond to die in this industry, mainly because of love. Even if he didn't make so much money in the music industry last year, he will still fight to the end in this industry.
But it's no problem for him to die alone, he spends more when he has more money, and less when he has less money, in short, he just does what he likes. But now he's not alone.
He is now the captain of an entertainment battleship.
He couldn't have taken a boatload of people with him.
So many people have to eat, so many people want to make money, and they want to do more brilliant careers. He can't take people all the way to the dark.
Therefore, he must upgrade the entertainment battleship of beyond in a more diversified direction, in the music industry they must continue to ride the wind and waves, and in other entertainment fields, they must also have a measured and purposeful involvement.
Among them, doing film investment and production is Lin Zaishan is more sure, and it is also the fastest profitable industry in this circle, and there is no one.
In the past 08 years, the Chinese Empire's movie box office has reached a new high, breaking through the 10 billion mark for the first time in history, catching up with North America, and is currently the world's second largest movie box office.
According to the current speed of construction and development of the film market and cinema chain, within five years, the local box office of the Chinese Empire will surpass North America and rank first in the world.
Film investment is currently another major area of hot money in the Chinese Empire in addition to Internet investment.
Now in the market, as long as there is a better script and the main creative team, the financiers will rush to invest in it.
At present, the most important thing in the domestic film market is money, but what is lacking is technology, talent and creativity.
The problem of lack of talent in the domestic film industry cannot be changed overnight.
At present, although there is a lot of hot money pouring into the domestic film market, the profit-seeking nature is too strong, and there is too little real money invested in the field of technical personnel training.
The lack and loss of talent has led to the weakening of film creativity.
At present, the current situation of the domestic film market is that what kind of films are popular, and a large number of films that follow the trend will immediately come out to shoot, and most of the money is spent on imitation and shoddy production, and innovative works are rare.
Lin Zaishan was electrocuted last year (made the theme song) of the movie "Monkey King", which can be regarded as a pioneer and changer of technology flow in domestic films.
This is the first animated film in this plane to be made with pure 3D technology in China.
Although this technology is not the most cutting-edge technology in Hollywood, it is the first time in China.
With such great sincerity to make domestic cartoons, the main creative team of "Monkey King" is well-intentioned.
In the end, their hard work was also rewarded, which gave some comfort to the workers in China who were not so impetuous and really devoted themselves to studying film technology and making films.
"Monkey King" earned 680 million at the box office last year, ranking fifth among domestic films and 12th among all films. Its box office has set a historical record for domestic cartoons, and it can be regarded as a small satellite in the industry.
Originally, industry workers were not optimistic that "Monkey King" could create too high a box office, because before that, the highest box office of domestic cartoons was only more than 100 million Chinese yuan. The very sophisticated cartoons produced by Hollywood have not exceeded 300 million at the domestic box office.
But who would have thought that "Monkey King" created a box office of 680 million, which is an explosive result in the field of animation.
Among them, the theme song "Wukong" sung by Lin Zaishan has played a great role in promoting the film, and this theme song may make "Monkey King" generate tens of millions of more box office.
Of course, it's all idle talk.
To be serious, "Monkey King" can achieve a double harvest of word-of-mouth and box office, which stems from the main creative team's pursuit of technology and meticulous requirements for well-made 3D special effects.
The story of the Monkey King becoming Monkey King is a household name in China and has been passed down for hundreds of years, and various versions of the story have been told.
The crew of "Monkey King" did not pursue too many subversive changes in the script, but only dug inward into the psychological changes of the Monkey King, which made the theme of the story a little heavy.
But the way "Monkey King" tells is not heavy, but very novel, it uses 3D simulation technology that has never been used in the domestic film industry, and dedicates a beautiful and superb visual feast to everyone.
Audiences who have watched this movie in the cinema are generally deeply impressed by the scene where the Monkey King traveled west with Tang Seng to learn scriptures, and the sound of Lin Zaishan's "Wukong" sounded in the background, and many people silently shed tears for that scene.
The box office of "Monkey King" can be a big hit, and in general it is a victory of technical flow. At the same time, it also shows that the capacity and volume of the domestic animation market are very large.
Lin Zaishan wanted to lead Beyond into the film industry, and one of the initial directions was to make cartoons.
Like the cartoon "Kung Fu Panda" or something that is a classic in another plane, he can move to this plane.
If the domestic film industry technology cannot support such animation production, they can even invest in Hollywood companies to do it.
However, Lin Zaishan still wants to cooperate with domestic film companies.
Although there is a relatively large gap between domestic film companies and foreign film companies at the technical level, especially special effects companies, domestic and foreign ones cannot be compared.
But the more in such a situation, the more Lin Zaishan wants to support domestic film companies, and he even wants to cultivate a Chinese own "industrial light and magic".
On the other hand, Industrial Light & Magic was born to make special effects for George Lucas in "Star Wars", and later developed and grew stronger and became a world-renowned top film special effects company.
At present, the special effects companies in China, or the special effects departments of those big film companies, have no such opportunities at all, and no one is willing to believe in them more and pose them a greater challenge. They tend to take on very low-tech projects. For films that require high-precision technical requirements, the main creative team will directly skip the domestic special effects company, either find a Japanese one, or go to Hollywood, and give the domestic special effects company a chance at all.
Of course, there are many reasons for the current bad situation, and it is also a major reason that domestic special effects companies are not angry, and always use shoddy things to fool people, and cannot win the trust of customers.
Lin Zaishan pondered before moving "Kung Fu Panda", he wanted to find a domestic team to create and try, and the main creative team of "Monkey King" was the team he focused on.
It is said that there is their own special effects production company behind that team, and many young people in it are full of vitality and enthusiasm after returning from Hollywood, and "Monkey King" is their first big victory.
Lin Zaishan is very willing to work with such a team, he even wants to wait for beyond to be richer in the future, directly take over such a team and special effects company, cultivate them with greater sincerity and action, and strive to develop them into "industrial light and magic" in this plane, so that he can "copy" the classic movies in his mind more perfectly, otherwise he only has creativity in his head, and the film industry technology of this plane can't keep up, so he will move in vain.
For example, a super blockbuster like "Transformers", not to mention that this big IP is not yet in this plane, and even if there is, the film industry in this plane cannot make another plane so vivid Autobots.
If you move hard, the final result may not be so bad.
In short, after strong technical support, Lin Zaishan will move all the movie ideas in his head.
Before that, he won't be in a hurry, let's slowly train the film team here, anyway, his brain has a memory playback function, and he will move out when it's time to move, and now wait for the technology to take shape.
For those works that don't really need special effects technical support, or there is already enough technical support in this plane, Lin Zaishan can consider moving it, but he hasn't made an effective plan for which one to move and how to move it. After all, he can't even music now, and he doesn't have any more thoughts about movies.
After the Spring Festival, waiting for Sun Yuzhen to return from vacation, Lin Zaishan will have a good chat with Sun Yuzhen, and then talk to the industry insiders of the film.
Lin Zaishan is going to take beyond to get involved in the film industry so soon, in addition to the quick results of this industry, another main reason is that he wants to pull Sun Yuzhen along.
Sun Yuzhen has paid too much for beyond, and he almost has to work hard to do "The Voice", and Lin Zaishan has long promised that others will help him realize his dream, so he naturally can't break his promise.
After doing "The Voice", Sun Yuzhen has successfully completed her historical mission in the TV industry, and then she can travel lightly to chase her dream of being an actor.
Of course, Lin Zaishan wants to let Beyond get involved in the film industry, not only because of Sun Yuzhen, but also to help other beyond artists open up another way.
Considering that Liu Mengmeng and they didn't make a start in the music industry, Lin Zaishan thought that letting them try to be electrocuted in the future may have a good effect on their popularity.
You must know that Karen Mok, who has the best voice in another world, also became popular first when she was electrocuted, and later became a singer and actress, and her singer career and actor career are promoting each other's development.
In this plane, there are many successful artists who act and sing, sing and act.
The current singers under the beyond company, Mi Zhiwen and Deng Xiaoying, basically have no hope of acting, but Zhang Hao and Liu Mengmeng actually have eye-catching personalities and have the opportunity to set foot on the big screen.
Several of the believer's children actually have a chance.
In the future, move a "Ancient. Confused Boy", let Zhang Hao play the pheasant, and Song Peng to play the bag. It's interesting to think about it.
Of course, this is just Lin Zaishan's blind imagination when he was bored, for Zhang Hao and believers, Lin Zaishan still hopes that they will concentrate on staying in the music industry to make achievements, and not easily get involved in other industries in the entertainment industry. Otherwise, these boys' hearts drifted, and the band would probably break up.
Liu Mengmeng went to electrocution to increase popularity, which is a better choice.
and Wen Shasha from the sand painting department, Lin Zaishan feels that she actually has the capital to be on the big screen.
In the past six months, Lin Zaishan has clearly felt that the emerging art of sand painting is rapidly cooling down in the Chinese Empire.
Perhaps the foreign princess recognized him as a super celebrity, and wanted to establish him as a new cultural model, instead of promoting time-consuming and laborious but ineffective sand paintings. This has plunged the entire sand painting industry into an unprecedented low ebb, and it has a tendency to collapse all of a sudden.
Last year's Royal Sand Painting Contest was held in the highest art hall of the Royal Academy of Art, and was broadcast live on the Royal Variety Stage.
But this year, the competition is gone! Even the national sand painting association no longer exists! This made these folk lovers engaged in sand painting very traumatized, and many people left the sand painting world in frustration. (To be continued.) )
