Chapter 56: Suspension of Cooperation
Lin Feihong's current achievements are largely due to the other two works, to be precise, they support Singularity Network users such as "Tomb of the Gods" and "Panlong" to put Lin Feihong up, but on the other hand, this is also the result of Lin Feihong's own efforts. Since the failure of "Immortal Realm", he has changed his original strategy and adopted a new policy of "focusing on practice, summarizing as the focus, supplemented by knowledge", after he finished making a movie, he did not immediately start shooting the next movie, but analyzed the audience's reaction very seriously, actively adopted the audience's opinions, found out the defects, filled in the gaps, learned lessons, summed up experience, and found corresponding solutions according to these deficiencies, so as to learn the lessons of the failure of the previous movie when shooting the next movie, and readjust, Avoid making the same mistake as last time... With the combination of practice and summary, the follow-up films have fewer and fewer defects, and the follow-up films have not made similar mistakes as before, so that Lin Feihong's directing ability has been continuously improved, so that the movies he has made are getting better and better, more and more recognized by everyone, and more and more people favor him and pay attention to him.
While there are more and more people supporting Lin Feihong, Lin Feihong is filming another film adapted from Tomato's novel "Devouring the Starry Sky"... Three months later, the film has just finished filming.
The results of the first three works are getting better and better, and the response is getting bigger and bigger, Lin Feihong believes that his new work "Devouring the Starry Sky" will definitely make greater progress... Facts have proved that the results of "Devouring the Starry Sky" are indeed much better than "Panlong", "Tomb of the Gods", "Immortal Realm", etc., and have been well received, 80% of people say that Lin Feihong's directing ability has been greatly improved in this "Devouring the Starry Sky", whether it is from the movie effect or from the acting skills of the actors, it is far beyond the previous three works, of course, there are still people who say that this work is still flawed...
But no matter what, now, the results of "Devouring the Starry Sky" are much better than "Panlong" and "Divine Tomb" in terms of subscriptions, likes, favorites, and evaluation index, and it is far beyond the failed "Immortal Realm". However, although the results of "Devouring the Starry Sky" are getting better and better, and it has been at the top of the list of new works of newcomers, new investors and new works very early, there are still very few Tuku users who support it. "Devouring the Starry Sky" is like this, other movies such as "Tomb of the Gods", "Panlong", "Immortal Realm" will not be much better, these movies are on the top of the list in the first month, and then with the saturation of subscriptions, the position of these movies has also plummeted, and now, there is no trace of them on the list, they are like a flash in the pan, and they have withered after blooming in an instant... The same is true for the fate of Devouring the Stars in the future.
All this is simply because these movies are not favored by local Tuku.com users, and the Singularity.com users who support them have only disappeared after the initial madness. After all, Okami's loyal readership is still limited.
However, no matter what the future fate of "Devouring the Starry Sky" is, no matter whether the loyal users of the great gods of Singularity Network are limited or not, when "Devouring the Starry Sky" is recognized by more people, at the same time, Lin Feihong's fame has gradually risen, and more and more people know Lin Feihong, the director, especially the users of Singularity.com, they didn't have much hope for Lin Feihong at first, and even looked down on the movies he made, especially when he filmed "Immortal World", the complaints he received could directly drown Lin Feihong... However, with the continuous improvement of Lin Feihong's directing ability, the movies he made became better and better, and gradually more people began to pay attention to him and began to accept him.
In addition to Singularity users, there are also local Tuku users, and these Tuku users gradually know Lin Feihong and pay attention to Lin Feihong.
When "Panlong", "Tomb of the Gods", "Immortal Realm" and so on were not favored by Tuku users, their fame disappeared from the list after rising wildly in the first month... Although these works disappeared a month after their release, as time went on, Lin Feihong gradually became more recognized.
Soon, a month has passed, and although "Devouring the Starry Sky" has performed better than "Panlong", "Tomb of the Gods", and "Immortal Realm", although the number of subscriptions exceeds the latter, its final fate is still the same as the latter - disappearing. "Devouring the Starry Sky" is also a flash in the pan, it has withered after the crazy bloom, and now there is no trace of it on the list, it is like a gourd floating in the sea without a trace.
Although it is said that the movie adapted from the novel has withered, it is not necessarily a bad thing, at least, Lin Feihong's fame has gradually risen.
For today's results, Lin Feihong is very satisfied and worth it. Since the failure of "Immortal Realm", he has made three movies in a row according to his new policy, and these three movies have taken him a whole year, this year, Lin Feihong in addition to making movies is to make a summary, and after making a summary, he continued to shoot movies, so busy for a year, although he was tired, although the movies he shot did not get more people's favor, although he didn't make much money, but at least, he earned fame. Just like when the micro-movie "Old Boy" was made, there was no profit but fame, which was enough.
Lin Feihong was thinking, after a year of running around and working hard, is it just to earn some popularity and improve his directing ability? Now that the goal has been achieved, what is there to be disappointed in.
Lin Feihong was not disappointed, but Singularity.com was disappointed, because these movies adapted from novels did not become popular, at most they were only popular for a month, but they were just a flash in the pan. Moreover, after these novels were adapted into movies, although they did not lose money, they did not make much money.
From cooperating with Lin Feihong to the present, a total of four movies have been filmed, but each movie has cooled down after the first one or two months of popularity, although the subscription volume of each film is good, but after deducting the cost fee, plus the share, the net profit earned is very limited, so Singularity has to reconsider whether this path is right.
After some careful consideration, Singularity finally decided to abandon this path, so they approached Lin Feihong to discuss the termination of the contract.
On this day, Lin Feihong came to the office with a clear wind again.
"I won't go around in circles, let's get straight to the point, I came to you this time just to discuss with you about matters related to the termination of cooperation." The wind is clear and straight to the point, very frank.
"Discooperation?" Lin Feihong was puzzled.
"We want to break off the collaboration with you on a film." The wind cleared and explained the situation again.
Lin Feihong was silent, he didn't speak, he was listening to the wind and analyzing carefully.
"You also know what the results of the four films we have worked together in the past year or so, it can be said that almost every movie sank after a while, and in the end, the profit earned by each work is very limited, frankly speaking, so far, the total profit we have made from the four films is about one million, which is not enough for us to pay a great god for half a year, so after careful consideration, we decided to give up this road... We have to make this kind of decision, and we will not spend energy and financial resources on projects that cannot make money, so we hope that you will cooperate. "The wind is clear and the current situation is carefully analyzed.
Singularity.com has put forward a request to terminate the cooperation, what else can Lin Feihong do? He didn't quibble, nor did he have any superfluous words, just silently signed the agreement to terminate the contract, and then left. As for other related matters, such as the elimination of public accounts, the removal of the four released movies, and other trivial matters, it is up to Singularity.com to notify the backstage of Tuku.com to solve it, Lin Feihong doesn't want to care about this kind of trivial matter, after all, this termination of the contract was proposed by Singularity.com, and of course this kind of thing has to be done by them.
Singularity.com asked to dissolve the cooperation, although it was unexpected by Lin Feihong, but he also understood the purpose of Singularity.com's approach. Singularity operates a huge novel market, is the leader in the field of novels, its annual income of hundreds of millions, naturally not able to shoot movies and get more than one million, the website is for the purpose of profit, if a project can not make profits, even if the project is creative, no matter how novel, once out of profit, then this project is no different from a dead fish, no one will take care of it, will try this kind of project... Lin Feihong was thinking that if it were him, I am afraid he would not continue to follow this path, after all, he has been busy for a year but has not made much money.
Movies, if you just rely on subscriptions and appreciation, you can't make money, the only way for movies to make money is to release them, and only when they are released can they have real box office income and huge profits to be made. But judging from the results of the four movies shot in more than a year, although the number of subscriptions was more in the first month, there were basically very few after that, although it was said that it was on the top of the list in the first month, but it still failed to get the opportunity to be released, after all, these movies adapted from novels have no other user support except for the support of readers loyal to the gods of Singularity.com... Therefore, the dismal results of these four movies are an inevitable trend, that is to say, the end of Lin Feihong's cooperation with Singularity.com is also the trend of the situation.
Now, Lin Feihong knows better why so many big directors don't make online novels, online novels are actually just cool texts that are quick for a while, and most of the people who like these cool articles are students in school or idlers with relatively easy work, these people spend time reading novels to pass the time, that is, YY. But most people still pursue movies that have practical meaning and express some kind of positive energy, so it is still unrealistic to adapt online novels into movies, at least for now, very unrealistic.
Unrealistic, that is to say, if you don't make money, where will there be a big director to shoot a movie that doesn't make money?
However, Lin Feihong, who did not make money, made a movie, although the results of the movie he shot were not satisfactory, it really did not make money, although he broke off the cooperative relationship with Singularity.com, but Lin Feihong felt that he had nothing to lose. He feels that he has gained a lot of benefits, at least, after these four movies, his popularity has gradually risen, and his reputation is getting better and better, but the most important point is that his directing ability has been greatly improved.
Lin Feihong has gone all the way, and the efforts he has made are nothing more than to improve his directing ability and make himself more famous, and now that his goal has been achieved, it stands to reason that he should have no troubles, and it stands to reason that he should be grateful to Singularity.com for proposing to terminate the relationship with him at this time. It's just... Now, Lin Feihong still has troubles.
He was thinking: Now that the partnership with Singularity has been severed, what should I do now?
Lin Feihong originally planned to shoot two or three more films to further improve his directing ability, after all, although his latest reading power shot "Devouring the Starry Sky" has received a lot of praise, there are still many flaws, and there are still many areas to improve. While continuing to shoot movies, Lin Feihong also wants to increase his popularity by the way.
But now, that plan has all come to naught with a termination of the contract by Singularity.com.
What should we do now?
Lin Feihong didn't know, he was worried. He felt that the future was slim, and he originally thought that as long as he made a few more movies and summed up more experience, his directing ability would be greatly improved... If Rao is really like this, then more people will favor him and pay attention to him, and his popularity and reputation will definitely get better and better...
But there is always a certain gap between waking up and reality, and plans can never catch up with changes.
After calming down, Lin Feihong began to rethink the direction of the future, and now that the matter with Singularity has come to this point, he can only find another way, and Lin Feihong's eyes fell on Tuku Network again.
After so many movies, four films, and three micro-films, these works are all released on Tuku.com, although Lin Feihong's fame can't be compared with the big directors and famous screenwriters of Tuku.com, but there are also many people who know him as a person. On this basis, if you cooperate with Tuku.com, it should be smoother, not to mention that "Old Boy", which he originally cooperated with Tuku.com, became popular for a while, and Lin Feihong decided to fight again.
He decided to start filming "People in Embarrassment" now, although this is a big movie that has to risk 10 million costs, but now he is no longer the original Lin Feihong who just came to this world, he has now accumulated a certain amount of fame, learned a lot of director, film-related knowledge, and the director's ability has also reached a big level, he believes that he has the ability to control this masterpiece, not to mention the playback system in his brain to guide him.
Once you decide, you can start writing a script and upload it.
It may be that the road he took in front of him played a role in paving the way, and now the road is much smoother than before, and the script has not been uploaded before it is fully uploaded, and it will soon be reviewed by the backstage editor of Tuku.com, and the contract will be signed. A month later, nearly 600,000 scripts were finally uploaded, and a week later, Tuku.com arranged for crew members to shoot Lin Feihong, but Lin Feihong asked to use the original cast of "Old Boy" before.
I don't know why the filming went very smoothly, in fact, Lin Feihong himself didn't know that his directing ability and creative ability had been greatly improved in the subtle way, and now the effect of accumulation is naturally different, it took a total of three months, and a total of more than 8.5 million costs were spent, which was less than he expected, and everything went smoothly, but when the film was released, the response was not very good, and the ranking on the classification list only hovered in more than 20 places, and Lin Feihong's desire was to enter the top ten.
Maybe it was God's pity on Lin Feihong, or maybe it was Lin Feihong's spirit of unremitting pursuit of dreams that moved the heavens, just when Lin Feihong felt depressed, a message came from Tuku.com.com.;
