Chapter 293: Movies (2/2)
“What about that?”
“Idiot, this is a big business opportunity.”Meng Yingying was very excited mentioning this.She said with a self important voice, “Right now the people of the continent enjoy a material filled life, but their spirits are empty and they are lacking entertainment.Through the use of Hidden Image Mirror and the Illusory Image Network, we can turn a legend into a series of movies and television shows. This will be more interesting compared to simple story books.I have already thought about it, the first story being directed will be «Scarlet Blood War». It will be a narration of you saving countless villagers and the legendary experience of you defeating the evil demon!”
Chu Tian almost did a spit take.
Where did these sisters think of this idea?
In the time Chu Tian lived in, virtual illusory spaces had already been made, so films and television did not have any popularity.Chu Tian never thought of this point, but instead it was brought up by the two Meng sisters.
It was just like the Miracle canned food.
There was no technical content required, it was just missing an idea.
Meng Yingying expectantly looked at Chu Tian, “What do you think?”
“Very good, very good!”Chu Tian’s brain quickly turned, “We have just arrived in Imperial City and need to expand our influence right now.This kind of thing will quickly publicize Miracle Commerce.”
Meng Yingying nodded, “Do you have any requests?”
“The first project needs to be properly made, we can’t consider cost or benefit and should provide as much money as necessary.There is only a single request, I have to be handsome, understood?”
Meng Yingying rolled her eyes at him, “In terms of profit, you don’t need to worry.Elder sister is a business genius, however much we invest into it, she can easily multiply it.”
Chu Tian gave a half hearted nod.
This product’s cost was not low and being able to break even was already not bad.Could they really make a profit?
Meng Yingying took a book from her chest and gave it to Chu Tian, “Here, this is the story that I got from elder sister Nangong which will be the blueprint for the story.It will make writing the story much easier. Take a look at it!”
This was a story about rescues, adventure, and battles.
It couldn’t be seen, but this girl really did have talent.
Chu Tian gave a suggestion, “I think that you should add a bit more romance.”
“Romance?How should we add it?”
“You can establish a female protagonist and that female protagonist will be you, Meng Yingying.You will be the princess of a country and was caught by the demon king. In the end you will be saved by me and the story will end with us living happily ever after.”
The princess and demon king stories were really played out.
But in this era, it should still have a market.
Meng Yingying’s face turned red, “You really have no shame.Wouldn’t others find it embarrassing?”
“How can you think like this?This is art! How could art be embarrassing?”Chu Tian said with a serious face, “If you don’t like it, then we can change the female lead to the young miss.It’s no problem for it to be Nangong either.”
Meng Qingwu’s face turned red, but she said nothing.
Nangong Yun began to laugh, “I have no objections!”
“No, no!Elder sister is the leader of the company, so she needs to maintain a solemn appearance.Elder sister Nangong is a very strong person. The princess is so weak, how could we let them have the part?”Meng Yingying scratched her head in an embarrassed manner, “It seems like I just have to make a sacrifice for art!”
Everyone revealed a smile.
How could they not guess this girl’s thoughts?
Chu Tian suddenly thought of something, thinking of a special point.
Weren’t the Nangong Family and Wang Family acting arrogantly?Watch how master Chu Tian deals with you!”
Chu Tian said to Meng Yingying, “In order to make the story more interesting, I think we need to portray some more strong enemies.For example……”
They discussed for around an hour.
The production plan could be considered finalized.
Meng Yingying excitedly led everyone in writing the story.
Actually the cost of filming this movie was not low because not only did they need a large number of people during the production, they also needed a large number of Illusory Image Stones.The Illusory Image Stones were rare materials in the Southern Summer Country!
The yield of this ore did not surpass three batches in the Southern Summer Country.It was very limited every year, so the price would inevitably be very expensive. After all these materials were used, the cost could not be recovered.Or for a long time, it would not be recovered.
However, it had to be made!
Miracle Commerce had around six hundred million gold coins in Imperial City, so they directly took out two hundred million for Meng Yingying to make this movie.They allowed her to do whatever she wanted, no need to worry about money!
This amount of money was enough to buy all the Illusory Image Stones on the market.
Meng Yingying formed a team of over a hundred people and started planning the production.Meng Qingwu used all of Miracle Commerce’s power to use all the broadcast stations, media forms, and various other channels to wildly promote it.
They pasted information related to the movie everywhere.
This caused a large stir in Imperial City.People had heard of plays before, but they had never heard of a thing like movies before!
Meng Qingwu also spent money to buy several large theaters in Imperial City and installed giant image transferring mirrors inside.After Meng Yingying’s production team finished, they would use these to broadcast their movie.
This news was spread across the entirety of Imperial City.
Everyone was filled with a strong interest.
From the citizens to the nobles, they were all paying attention to the first movie in history.This matter became the topic people talked about over tea and meals. Quickly, the word “movie” became the most popular new word in Imperial City!
