Hearing the words of the old man, Fang Yan felt that he had grasped something, but it was vague, and this unclear feeling made Fang Yan scratch his head a little annoyed.

"Old man Bai, how much higher is the performance of the improved photo crystal than before? Is there any comparison data? ”

Fang Yan diligently poured the old man's teacup, and this time even the surname of the old man was bringed, but Fang Yan only knew that the old man's surname was Bai, and the specific name was not clear.

"Tut-tut, you didn't give me a full cup of tea last time about the Fire Attribute Inner Dan, it seems that you have some ideas about the Lingering Crystal?"

The old man took a sip of tea and did not answer the question of the dialect immediately, but looked at the dialect with some curiosity.

It's been a long time since I've known each other, and this is the first time I've seen Fang Yan and I'm out of shape, and I scratched my head and gave him a lot of tea.

"Not either."

Fang Yan shook his head and shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly, "It's just that a little indescribable thoughts floated by, and I can't grasp it again at this moment." ”

"Well, it's not uncommon, but some inspirations just come out of nowhere."

Although Old Man Bai is usually a little improper, his long-term experience in magic experiments has made him understand how rare this kind of opportunity is to have a flash of inspiration.

So he rarely didn't make fun of tongues, and answered the questions of tongues directly.

"Before the improvement, the continuous effect is about fifteen minutes of charging (ps: the unit of time will not be converted in this article, all according to the earth standard time), the service life of a photo crystal is tens of thousands of times, so the main cost of the photo crystal after buying is the charging of the crystal."

"As for the improved photo crystal, the price of one piece remains unchanged for the time being, and the continuous effect can reach 1 hour, and the lifespan will be reduced by 2,000 times."

"However, the cost of charging the improved version of the Retainer Crystal should have increased, and the continuous effect has been increased to an hour, so will the cost of charging be increased by four times?" The dialect quickly found a problem.

"Not really."

Old man Bai came over with a "I knew you would ask" look, and then said.

"Of course, you haven't had much contact with the improvement process, it's normal to have this kind of problem, and this improvement plan is to increase the duration of the lingering crystal through the blessing of the formation.

Do you still remember the price increase of the fire attribute inner pill that time, it is because it is preliminarily determined that the low-level fire attribute inner pill formation can meet the two points of improving the duration and cost at the same time. ”

"Don't say anything, the empire has plenty of money, and you can spend whatever you want."

Old Man Bai choked the question of the dialect back into his stomach with one sentence, "This is not purely for the improvement of the Miracle War Festival, but an improvement plan that will be promoted to the whole continent in the future."

This is of great help to the Empire's influence on the mainland, and if the improvement plan requires a high-level inner pill, then those small countries on the continent and even some medium-sized countries may not be able to afford the cost of the inner pill. ”

"Today's continent can no longer afford war, and every country knows this.

Then a country's continental status can only continue to increase its influence in addition to deterrence by force. ”

After the conversation box was opened, Old Man Bai also said some more things by the way.

"This is a huge market, the imperial capital is the economic center of the empire, and the number of low-level inner pills is countless, but this time the improved production of the lingering crystal still makes the price of low-level fire attribute inner pills nearly double."

Fang Yan nodded thoughtfully, but this kind of strategic thing actually has nothing to do with his current situation.

What he cares more about is what he can do with the Lingering Crystal, such as ...... Make a movie!

Yes, Fang Yan is very sure that the idea that flashed in his heart just now is to use the photo crystal to make a movie, but there are still some situations Fang Yan wants to confirm.

"So how many improved versions of the Lingering Crystals have been produced in the Empire now? Or when will the improved version cover the entire empire? ”

"I can't tell you this question, after all, Xiyun is not the only big country that has improved the Lingering Crystal."

After stopping talking, the old man wanted to see a disappointed or frustrated expression from the dialect's expression, but he didn't expect that the dialect was still calm, the old man pursed his mouth and continued.

"However, as soon as the improvement was successful, the empire had already reported to the Continental Mage Association to determine the ownership of the improvement right, and now that the Continental Mage Association has completed the certification, other countries can't catch up if they want to.

According to the requirements of the Empire, each basic town of the Empire must place a photo crystal in the town square.

The empire has more than 40 provinces and five major fortresses, and the core colleges of each province and fortress arrange for people to go to each town to place and strengthen the photo crystal with spells, and the future charge is handed over to the mages of each town to do.

In a few days, there will be an official announcement, and in one to two months at the latest, it will all be spread to the towns.

During such a celebration, even the farthest town of the empire can be seen in this grand scene.

And from then on, all kinds of activities in the empire can be photographed and released through the Mage Association, which is many times faster than the previous air transportation. ”

Fang Yan couldn't help but nod in agreement, in a sense, the transmission channel of the photo crystal is the same as the Internet, convenient and fast.

What's more, the improved retention crystal gives the idea of shooting movies a technical support.

After saying this, the old man said a few more idle words, snorted, and said that he had other things to do, so he got up and left.

After sending the old man out of the door, Fang Yan closed the door of the store and turned around and sat down at the counter.

Try to calm yourself down, turn on the magic lamp, and start thinking about what it takes to make a movie.

First of all, the market, Fang Yan is very sure that the new video playback method of movies will definitely be welcomed if it is promoted, and the skill tree of Yunyao Continent is completely biased towards the magic side.

There is no such thing as a movie, even a similar documentary, and the only narrative images are some of the images of battles between armies or duels between some masters that have survived in the Imperial Capital Library, most of which are still photos of the miracle war 500 years ago, as well as other countries.

Not only for taking pictures, but also for the entertainment industry in Yunyao Continent can be said to be very backward.

The most common forms of entertainment for mainlanders are to go to the opera and listen to books in taverns.

Monotonous entertainment is good to say in the war years, but now this period of increasing peace and basically zero possibility of war is not enough to see.

The second is the script, don't think about movies on the technology side, Transformers and the like are not suitable for appearing in the wizarding world.

The main body of the script must be magical, but in my previous life, dialects have not read online novels, and I have read classic magic dialects on the Internet more than once or twice, and I have imagined more than once how exciting those novels will be when they are made into movies, and now, dialects see the possibility of realizing dreams in this world.

The third point is actors, actors are not difficult to find, ten first-grade spirit stones are enough to hire a first-order mercenary for a day, let alone hire those ordinary group performers.

Fang Yan currently has 240 second-grade spirit stones in his hands, which is the savings that Fang Yan has saved for several years, and the conversion unit between spirit stones is 1 to 100, which is about 24,000 first-grade spirit stones, and it is definitely enough to hire a starring actor.

It is estimated that it will be difficult to find actors in the acting school for a while and a half, but there is no precedent for movies in Yunyao Continent, and the novelty of the initial plot and mode is the selling point.

As long as the actor doesn't overstep the outline, an actor with acting skills can only wait to see if he can meet a natural actor or slowly develop himself.

But if you really make a movie, your own funds are definitely not enough, for example, the cost of the plot of the 10,000-person war is not something you can afford, which requires finding a powerful partner, or an initial investor.

At present, the most difficult thing is to promote, and you can still buy one if you grit your teeth and record it yourself.

But what about after the movie is made? How could I get the Wizards' Guild to spread the video to every town? Not to mention the promotion of the Continental Mage Association.

After thinking about it for a long time, Fang Yan came up with two solutions.

One is to sell it after filming it yourself, and the other is to rent a vacant space in the imperial capital to play movies.

But soon, he vetoed both options.

The first seems to be something that the protagonists of all kinds of time-traveling novels often do, and these protagonists are often discerned or amazed by the gods, but Fang Yan doesn't feel that the author will arrange this kind of plot on his own (well, yes. ）。

Besides, no matter how peaceful the world is now, it is still a world where force is supreme.

Those magicians who study the Lingering Crystal don't need to think about it to know that they are at least mages who have mastered the illusion formation above the 6th order, and ordinary people of the first order like Fang Yan don't even have the qualifications to see them, can a small citizen casually meet an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences?

As for the second type, it is also very difficult, you must know that the population and territory of the Xiyun Empire are several times larger than that of Huaxia in the previous life.

In the previous life, the capital of China was every inch of land, not to mention the Xiyun Imperial Capital, if it weren't for the fact that his parents were military martyrs, Fang Yan couldn't even afford the façade of the store now.

The price of every inch of land allows dialects to rent a venue to broadcast movies?

Among the statistical analysis cases learned in the last life of accounting, there is a classic case is the linear analysis of theater revenue.

Taking Wanda Cinema in a provincial capital as an example, there is an analysis that Wanda Cinema can only offset the rent of the lot with about 150 seats in two divisions and eight stalls a day, and more than 150 seats can start to make a profit.

Even if we ignore the comparison of the rent of the provincial capital and the Xiyun Imperial Capital, the price of a 150-seat venue in today's imperial capital is definitely not affordable for dialects.

Neither method is feasible, and today's dialect feels that he does not have any tools to guard a mountain of gold, but the gold is hidden deep in the ground, even if there is a shovel to dig a few shovels at this time, even if he only digs a small grain of gold, he can rely on this grain of gold to buy more tools and slowly dig the mine alive.

But where is the shovel?
