Chapter 313 Music, Movies, Games

Time turns back again to the summer of 2020.

After selling a large number of songs again, Chen Feng repeated his old tricks and invested more in creating Xingfeng Light and Shadow Studio and Xingfeng Games.

Although he himself changed his career, Meng Xiaozhou managed Xingfeng Entertainment in an orderly manner.

At that time, Chen Feng's industry was protected by the Lu family at home, and there were various overtures from large capital overseas. In addition, he gave Meng Xiaozhou the key song collection and talent discovery list. The development of Xingfeng Entertainment went smoothly.

Don't make detailed lists.

In 2025, Star Peak Entertainment, an entertainment empire based in China and successfully opening overseas markets, will officially reach a market value of US$10 billion.

In five years and seven months, Chen Feng created a Disney from scratch in the field of music.

But this was not the end. In the same year, Xingfeng Light and Shadow Studio, which had been working hard for five years, began to show its talents.

"Across the Stars" directed by the famous director James Diaz is released worldwide.

The special effects, soundtrack, performance techniques, script, cast, production team, publicity and marketing efforts, etc. are all perfect. I dare not say that it is unprecedented, but it is still unprecedented.

Before 2025, high-investment and large-scale productions were the preserve of Hollywood.

Do Chinese filmmakers have no money?

not necessarily.

The combined investment of several big bad movies can match the investment of a big Hollywood production.

So in fact, investors in Chinese films are quite wealthy, but they would rather treat their money like paper money and burn it a little at a time, and in the end it will all be wasted. They neither dare nor have the ability to try large-scale productions.

Sometimes they can work hard to make a big production, but in the end they find that there is no absolute positive correlation between the amount of money spent and whether it is bad or not. They can simply throw more money into the traffic niche and spend the right amount of money on the bad production.

What China really lacks is not money. What it lacks is people and teams that can spend money well, spend it wisely, and effectively convert money into market value.

In other words, even if there is such a person and team, investors have no confidence in him, and the matter is still aborted.

We need a person like this to stand up, gather together the money that many investors can’t find where to go, and then create a work worthy of the amount of investment.

When Chen Feng made "Across the Starry Sky", he had no worries about this at all.

He is both the chief screenwriter, executive producer, and investor.

He doesn't spend other people's money, he only burns his own money.

This is difficult to understand, especially during the early publicity, when his investment amount of up to 600 million US dollars was revealed, it shocked everyone.

Some people think he is crazy.

Even James Diaz, who was responsible for burning the money, was shocked when he heard the amount of his investment. He didn't know what he was going to do. He was so worried about burning so much money?

Although I am optimistic about your script and our plan is perfect, 300 million is enough. Are you really not afraid of losing money?

There is a video in the filming documentary of "Across the Stars" where Chen Feng cheerfully comforts others, "Don't be nervous. It's okay for you. Just do it well. I'm not trying to make money, but we can't fool the film."

The final result is that the movie box office of "Across the Stars" exceeded 6 billion US dollars, breaking the historical record of "Asuda" filmed by James Diaz in 2009 that had been dusted for 16 years.

This movie is too strong, too strong.

Others were surprised, but Chen Feng took it for granted.

The same "Across the Stars" has proven itself in multiple timelines in the past.

As long as the publicity keeps up, it will definitely not be defeated.

If it can be released on time on May 25, 2025, it will definitely be a hit.

The timeline will naturally follow some rules.

Even if I lose money, I'm actually not afraid.

This time, his production level is higher, his rhythm control is better, and due to his enhanced memory, the script he reproduced and re-created is even more impeccable.

He also replaced several extras whose performance in the previous version was flawed and unsatisfactory. He was simply harsh to the extreme.

More than 90% of the special effects in the movie were produced by thousands of employees in Xingfeng Lighting Studio, using a new intelligent rendering engine that was nearly 80 years ahead of its time.

The terrifying thing about this engine is that after applying the concept of quantum programming, its artificial intelligence learning ability is very terrifying, and it can completely simulate the real scene into a virtual scene in almost all aspects.

In order to cooperate with this engine, Chen Feng not only rented the computing power of the national supercomputing center at an astonishing price, but also brought over the carbon elemental chip trial product that had just been completed by the Xingfeng Research Institute next door.

At first, Ryan objected, saying that the chip was not yet stable.

As a result, Chen Feng used his backhand to pour almost absolutely insulating refrigerant, and then adjusted the chip structure with his backhand...

Yes, the chip was unstable before, but now it is stable.

Ryan quietly left with the new design drawings and cryogenic fluid formula given to him by Chen Feng, muttering something, "You said you were not a genius, but it turned out that you had already planned it. This accelerated the process by at least five years.

If you use time extensively, you must be a monster..."

According to the principle of movie box office sharing, the theatrical release of "Across the Stars" brought Star Peak Entertainment a net income of more than 1.8 billion U.S. dollars. Taking into account the later Internet on-demand and peripheral expansion income, the final long-term income of this film is

This adds up to more than three billion US dollars.

This is thanks to the successful implementation of genuine streaming media payment systems on foreign platforms such as Netflix and domestic platforms such as Tencent and iQiyi since 2015.

Although there are still a lot of pseudo-artistic movies and TV shows on these platforms, the good ones can at least satisfy your appetite.

In short, also in 2025, Xingfeng Entertainment has once again entered the fast lane where movies and music go hand in hand.

The historic hit of Xingfeng's Virgo movie "Across the Stars" also brought new changes to him.

Chen Feng no longer needs to sell his face to attract famous directors and big names. Instead, these people take the initiative to come to his door and step on his threshold.

He has an impeccably beautiful script, is rich and influential, the Chinese and English markets are fully open to him, and he can also help the director control the storyboard and rhythm...

Is there a better executive producer in the world?

No more!

The directors thought that as long as they followed his mindless management and exerted their aesthetic skills to the best of their ability, they would be able to get a name on the historical box office list.

Why not?

Veteran actors and actresses are thinking that in his films, they can not only refinish their acting skills, but also participate in the new movie era, experience new technologies, and explore their own limits, all without getting paid!

Of course, there are more little fresh meats and little flowers coming to him.

But Chen Feng is very picky and can see through people's lives at a glance.

He knows which florets are still useful and can be saved, and which ones are terminally ill and cannot be cured.

Therefore, he will not reject everyone. Those who can be saved will be used, and those who cannot be saved will be left to cool down.

With a larger investment scale, more available talents, and more good scripts, Chen Feng comprehensively considered the limits of the market and decided to produce six to eight films per year. Almost as soon as this film was released,

Another one picks up the torch again.

He plans to create a total of eight movie universes.

Of course, he won't frantically spend 600 million US dollars on every movie, nor will he pursue a box office explosion for every movie.

Anyway, he can make money standing up, the difference is just more or less.

He can accurately control the rhythm, and the core purpose has changed from making money to telling a beautiful story while making money, telling delicate emotions within a complete world view, and giving the world thoughts and warnings.

He did make money standing up.

Under his control, Xingfeng Entertainment has eaten away half of the science fiction movies.

In fact, according to past concepts, he should have finished all the science fiction movies on his plate.

But in fact it doesn't.

There is no shortage of geniuses in the world, only fertile soil that can give birth to geniuses.

With Xingfeng Entertainment leading the industry, the artistic pursuits of domestic and foreign filmmakers have been reawakened.

Chen Feng taught others how to make money while standing, and others imitated his example, and even became better than others.

Starting in 2028, with the sincere work "Resurrection after a Million Years" by Neill Brockamp, ​​who has accumulated a lot of experience, a new era of movies with hundreds of flowers blooming has arrived.

"Resurrection" tells the grand story of an astronaut who was sucked into a black hole but unexpectedly survived and was resurrected one million years later, and led the human civilization that had been enslaved by advanced civilization for more than 900,000 years to continue to fight.

The protagonist reawakens the anger in the hearts of the enslaved people on earth, ignites the people's desire for freedom, and finally breaks the technological barriers established by higher civilizations, allowing earth civilization to regain freedom.

The background of the world view is still a bit utopian, but with Neil's ingenious narration, it can be justified. It also uses the new special effects technology provided by Star Edge Lighting Studio to break through the non-existent blockade of Star Edge movies. It is well deserved.

.

After all, Chen Feng has handed knives to others and asked them to stab him. He is so generous.

In the end, Chen Feng's profits were diluted by his competitors, but he was not angry at all, but happy.

By 2038, Star Peak Entertainment has launched a total of 48 movies, with a total box office of US$137.2 billion.

Chen Feng's contribution to the film industry is not limited to the field of science fiction films.

Various other themes, including reality, love, magic, fairy tales, comedy, etc., are all influenced by his thoughts.

His movies not only contain conjectures about the future system, but also allude to and criticize reality. In addition to giving people an excellent entertainment experience, they can also make people think again and again.

Watching his movies is not a waste of time, but a refueling station for people's hearts.

This time Chen Feng learned better and no longer blindly portrayed alien invaders.

Among his eight major series, six series depict cosmic crises, such as abnormal cosmic phenomena or the invasion of advanced civilizations.

There are also two major series that focus on the complex relationship between artificial intelligence and humans.

There is betrayal and reconciliation, but the final destination is the same.

Due to the species characteristics of humans on earth, the development of human civilization cannot be separated from the help of artificial intelligence. This is the only way for civilization.

At the same time, if artificial intelligence wants to truly take off and be liberated, and have real living value, it cannot be divorced from human innovation consciousness.

The two complement each other and are indispensable.

Birth, cooperation, the emergence and intensification of conflicts, reconciliation, moving forward side by side, towards the universe...

This is the ultimate common destination for humans and artificial intelligence.

If one of them disappears in time, the final fate of the other will not be too good.

Chen Feng conveys an idea to the stars that may be born from afar.

Since everyone will still fight side by side and share weal and woe in the end, why not skip the conflicting stage and become comrades directly to face the common enemy that is bound to come?

As for the eighth movie universe he finally completed, it was the new version of "Crisis of the Multi-Eye".

Finally, in 2038, the market value of Xingfeng Entertainment incredibly increased to over 100 billion US dollars.

In the same year, he did another big thing in the field of entertainment and culture.

Produced by Xingfeng Games, "Crisis of the Compound Eyes", which has been honed for eighteen years and has a total investment of more than 10 billion US dollars, makes a shocking debut.

Star Edge Games, which has an average headcount of 7,000 people, spent eighteen years quietly producing this game.

In the past eighteen years, almost all the top producers, outstanding programmers and planners from major game companies in the world have come and gone to Star Edge Games.

One year, someone joined this well-paid company with a dream. He heard that the boss had a big plan and would create a big production that gamers dream of.

Three years later...

Waterma, your plan is too big!

It’s been three years!

Not to mention closed beta, you are still editing the engine over there, and you are still making up the details of the worldview here. What are you going to do?

Six years later, someone completed the graduation exam of the Whampoa Military Academy in the gaming world, and finally decided to give up his high salary and go out to pursue a new dream. I have to work for a lifetime, and I have to make a finished product, right?

Nine years later…

I, Hu Hansan, am back!

I am not willing to give in. I, Anqi He, must see the day when this game is released for beta testing.

Well, the first phase of closed beta testing has started!

Twelve years later...

The seventy-third revision has just been completed, and the seventy-fourth closed beta is now open.

Farewell.

I'd better go out and make a random mobile game, and then watch the mobile games rise and fall in the app store rankings.

Fifteen years later...

I, Chen Liangqi, am back!

Eighteen years later...

Seven thousand people watched the game "Crisis of the Multi-Eye" with a total installation package volume of 177.5 tons being slowly uploaded to the Internet, and they shed tears of excitement.

More than 330,000 professional practitioners in the gaming field around the world also received the news and cried bitterly.

We came and went, walked back and forth.

We make progress here, receive wages and buy houses here, wait in the suffering day after day, year after year, and watch our hard work being sprayed bloody by the big boss time and time again.

This big boss would personally go out to improve the engine from time to time, and then he also told us that the engine he asked you to make before was just for you to learn...

I ride a horse...

In short, we went from being young adults to having children admitted to college.

Our hair has turned into a shiny scalp.

Our collagen-filled face turns into a wrinkled, middle-aged face.

We have gone from a carefree young man who danced in the air to an old man with stubble on his face.

We have dedicated our entire youth to Xingfeng Games.

We study here, grow up again, start families and start careers here.

I have left time and time again, but I always come back full of reluctance.

Even though I am now away from home and have become the project leader of a spicy game, every time I dream about it at midnight, I still think of that unfinished dream.

Now, however, we finally succeeded.

We bring players around the world a second home besides Earth!

This must be a superb game destined to go down in history!

This is not a game, it is a virtual second home!

It wasn't just these gamers who were so excited that they shed tears of pain.

Qin Lu, who has entered middle age and is half famous but still single, learned the news while participating in the recording of a variety show.

She cried so hard that she couldn't help herself, and in the end she even had to interrupt the recording of the show.

It's difficult for her.

Music is also part of the game.

Chen Feng wants to give people the strongest sense of immersion and the best gaming experience.

He wanted to convey what he wanted to express bit by bit through the game subtly.

He wants to give people some spiritual hints, penetrate a little spiritual power, and then inspire people, stimulating players' desire to fight in real life.

At the same time, he also added a lot of professional knowledge and education and training content into it.

As long as you want, a primary school student can become a bachelor's degree graduate in various majors in the game.

Some undergraduate students majoring in theory can even "read" as postdoctoral fellows!

The time spent is even shorter than the learning time in the real world.

Chen Feng also incorporated the simulated classroom that he had personally experienced, the extermination master's version of "Teacher Ou Qinglan" that took him to play, and combined it with ideas from the real world, and the reward mechanism was full.

His second world was born out of the first world, but it did not take away the productivity of the first world, and even helped the first world in turn.

If you want to make fun-loving people willing to complete boring and painful studies and further studies in the second world, and make people take the initiative to become a better version of themselves, then this person's sense of substitution and emotions must be fully mobilized.

stand up.

Therefore, Chen Feng's requirements for the soundtrack are extremely demanding.

In these years, Zhong Lei, Lu Wei, Katie Swift and more winners of the Grammy Award and the Chinese Music and Art Peak Achievement Award have also been part of the accompaniment and soundtrack compilation team of "Multiple Eyes"

Come and go.

Some people do it for artistic pursuits, some do it to please Chen Feng, and many more do it for generous rewards.

Zhong Lei and Lu Wei didn't spend much energy on this aspect.

They have their "tasks", and Chen Feng doesn't really want them to distract too much attention from them.

In addition, Chen Feng himself also included many classic songs in it.

But some important theme songs and soundtrack songs must be sung by someone.

Most of this part of the task was handed over to Qin Lu, the tool man.

Qin Lu has a unique rock voice and is very good at rendering a mezzo-soprano with a strong atmosphere. After intensive training, she has also improved greatly in other aspects.

Progress is a good thing, but you will inevitably be caught by your boss and used as a tool.

Over the years, Qin Lu has recorded at least more than 400 songs for "Crisis of the Compound Eyes". However, if the game is not released for a day, not a single song will be released.

Her life is really difficult.

Being attached to Chen Feng gave her, a person who was originally unknown in history and whose talents were useless, a new life, but the efforts she made for it were also unimaginable by ordinary people.
