Chapter 261 The Power Of Culture (1/2)

Haierfa

Base of Operations.

Chen Jin had brought over the movie filmed by Shi Xiaotao so that Nuwa could optimise it.

The optimisation did not solely consist of improving the quality of the details in the special effects…. That would only take a few minutes.

A good movie was not only about the special effects. The abilities of the actors, the soundtracks and theme song were very important too.

There was not much to nitpick about with regards to the script or the acting in her ”Light Years of Love”. However, due to the hurry to screen the movie in cinemas during this Lunar New Year, the soundtracks and the theme song were not too perfect.

Hence, after the optimisation had been completed, Chen Jin suggested some ideas for these two areas.

”Xiao Tao, rather than saying that this is a science fiction movie, this should be a romantic movie dressed in the skin of sci-fi. It's similar to those space musical movies from abroad.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

”But the market potential of such films is definitely not to be underestimated!”

”The 'Titanic' is a romance film. It achieved box office sales of 2.18 billion more than 20 years ago. After which, a 3D remake was produced and it earned a stupendous 1 billion in box office sales.”

”The second to fifth place in total box office sales all belonged to science fiction films.”

”Xiaotao, your 'Light Years of Love' has elements of both romance and sci-fi. It would be surprising if box office sales are not good. But, it is almost impossible for it to reach the level of 'Titanic'”.

It was because the ”Titanic” was too much of a classic. Not only was the acting excellent, but the soundtracks and musical interludes were all classics. Some of the melodies have been passed down for many years with an unchanging appeal, leaving an indelible impression on many.

Could the ”Light Years of Love” with its production period of less than a year attain that kind of standard?

Obviously, that was not possible!

Therefore, in addition to the special effects, optimisation must all be carried out on the soundtracks and theme song.

Say, how would he optimise those? The soundtracks and theme song were all created by humans. They needed to be born from the inspiration and talents of humans. It was impossible for an artificial intelligence to complete a human's work.

Chen Jin knew this too.

Fortunately, more than 1 million movies and tens of millions of TV drama resources were stored in the databases of the artificial intelligences Alice and Nuwa. Moreover, there were countless music and songs..... The number of such artistic works were still increasing as the robots continued to scour Haierfa.

Chen Jin got Alice and Nuwa to conduct a full search of their databases where they found a number of movies similar to the ”Light Years of Love”. Among those, there were some that were such tear-jerking classics. Chen Jin felt that their quality was so much better than ”Light Years of Love” that they were in a whole different league.

He easily found the classic soundtracks that he wanted.

He found three suitable pieces of music for the theme song (interlude). The names were ”Quantum Entanglement”, ”The Road to Find You”, ”Beyond Light Years”

These three songs could be inserted when the male and female protagonists were using the quantum communication device to talk to each other, when the male protagonist was finding the female protagonist, and the ending of the finale respectively.

Chen Jin immediately asked Nuwa to insert these soundtracks and songs into the movie and he watched it again.

Gosh, the tear-jerking effect was just too good!

”Box office sales of less than 3 billion is a failure!”

It was entirely possible to achieve 5 billion in box office sales.

If the movie did well in overseas markets, it would become another movie that brought in tens of billions in box office sales.

At this point, Chen Jin suddenly developed the idea to enter the creative industries.

”In the future, the productivity of society will become highly developed. Material goods will become cheaper whereas products that has spiritual or psychological value will become more important. Creative and entertainment industries will become a greater contributor to GDP; they could even become major industries for the nation. High-tech companies will not be as profitable as the creative or entertainment companies. Products with a rich content are starting to become more important than physical products.”

”If Xing Hai Technologies' revenue grows weak in the future and the market has become saturated, it will be necessary to enter the creative industry in order to maintain the business scale of Xing Hai Technologies.”

”It's lucky that I have an accumulation of countless creative products. This is yet another treasure trove waiting for development.”

Although Z country was getting stronger and their political and military strength would surpass Merica sooner or later, they still had some serious shortcomings in terms of a creative culture.

If a country did not have a strong creative culture, it would still be difficult to gain respect in other areas no matter how strong they were in those areas.

Of course, this was not an issue that Chen Jin needed to worry about. He could simply march to his own tune.

...

A week later.

Chen Jin sent the optimised version of the movie, ”Light Years of Love” to Shi Xiaotao.

The three songs and the sheet music were also sent to her by courier.
