At this moment, he felt as if he had cast out a pyrotechnic after ten seconds of reading, but it hit the opponent's shield reflection and made his own face blurred.
But after all, Mr. Pei had experienced many battles and quickly calmed down.
"Overseas distribution company..."
"As far as I know, domestic films are generally not very popular in overseas markets..."
"Most of the box office is... one to two million dollars?"
Pei Qian still has a little understanding of these basic knowledge.
Although many popular domestic films try to be distributed overseas, due to cultural barriers, language and other issues, the results are often not particularly satisfactory. A film that can easily break over 100 million in China may only make one to two million US dollars abroad, and
It also depends on the subject matter.
Pei Qian calculated with his fingers. If it was only one million U.S. dollars, simply calculating based on the share and exchange rate, it didn't seem to be too heavy a burden.
A small scene worth millions can still be easily held.
The question he is more concerned about now is which unsighted overseas distributor fell in love with this film?
Huang Sibo smiled and said: "That's true."
"With the retirement of many Chinese movie stars who have huge influence in Hollywood, the overseas box office appeal of domestic films is also declining; at the same time, because the domestic market is developing faster and faster, our national self-esteem and self-confidence are getting stronger and stronger, so
Many movies simply focus on the domestic market and no longer chase the tastes of overseas markets."
"So in recent years, many blockbusters that have easily earned hundreds of millions at the domestic box office can only earn one or two million at the international box office. They have few films and low popularity, and their influence is very limited."
"But it is precisely for this reason that our film stands out!"
"Although "Journey to the Stars" is very popular around the world, it is an overseas science fiction film with a large investment after all. "Better Tomorrow" can get a similar box office with a very low investment, and it has completely suppressed the reputation.
This gives overseas publishing companies great confidence!"
"Moreover, "Better Tomorrow" also has a unique advantage, that is, the whole process is voiced in English. The story is set in the future world, which blurs the concepts of country and species. There is no overly obscure local culture, making it easier to be accepted by foreign audiences.
!”
"The main theme of the film is to explore the gap between rich and poor, excessive consumption, the alienation of people by capital, etc., which is more likely to resonate with overseas audiences!"
"So Mr. Pei, don't worry, our movies will probably earn more than one million dollars at the box office, and it will definitely be higher than this!"
"..." Pei Qian didn't know how to answer the question for a while.
Zhu Xiaoce added: "By the way, Mr. Pei, don't underestimate the English pronunciation!"
"You know, foreigners are very, very resistant to subtitles. The reason is very simple. English is a relatively lengthy language, and reading subtitles is very tiring."
"A very strong evidence is that both China and Neon have large-scale barrage video websites, but there are none abroad. This is because our text is ideographic text, and the information is highly condensed. You can understand the barrage at a glance.
meaning, but this is not the case in English.”
"The same goes for adding subtitles. Foreign audiences are not as accustomed to watching subtitles as we are. For them, whether there is English audio is a key factor in whether they go to watch it or not!"
"So, our movie is entirely spoken in English, which is a huge advantage! Although the three leading actors all have Asian accents, foreigners don't care about the accents. Instead, they feel that this is more in line with the character and character of the characters.
Ethnic distinction.”
"In short, starting from the script, this film is very in line with the tastes of overseas markets!"
"Mr. Pei, you are definitely taking a long-term view by asking everyone to speak English!"
Zhu Xiaoce raised his thumb excitedly.
Pei Qian: "..."
He wanted to say, no, you're wrong! I'm not far-sighted at all, I'm so short-sighted! I only wanted to persuade the domestic audience to speak English, but I never thought that this film would one day go to overseas markets.
!
However, looking at the admiring eyes of Zhu Xiaoce and Huang Sibo, Pei Qian could only sigh silently in his heart.
How uncomfortable!

Wednesday, March 30th.
In the past two days, gog players have ushered in the ultimate carnival.
Early yesterday morning, the results of gog’s first season spring competition had been locked.
And today, all the bonuses have been distributed, making the entire event extremely popular!
Posts discussing this event can be seen everywhere on the Internet.
Of course, some people question the true strength of the winners. After all, there are no absolutely fair rules in this world, and the sour grape mentality will always make people instinctively jealous of those lucky ones.
But this kind of noise only accounts for a small part after all.
Because the rules of this competition are open, fair, and transparent, although there will definitely be situations where double rows hold each other's thighs and score points, in general, the players who can reach the top 500 in such a short period of time are all truly talented and learned players.
of.
Because the time was short, the actors and the studio did not respond so quickly. Before sufficient impact was achieved, the results were locked in and bonuses were issued.
The players who got the bonuses were all very happy. They showed off their achievements and bonuses, and accepted worship. This further stimulated the popularity of gog.
All in all, everyone is happy.
The players got the money, the gog project team gained popularity, and Mr. Pei also spread the money.
It's just that other people's happiness is unconditional happiness, but Mr. Pei's happiness is mixed with deep worry.
Because of him, he discovered that the popularity of the game had increased far beyond his expectation...
In Pei Qian's opinion, this seems to be a bit out of control!
Therefore, the clever Mr. Pei gave Hu Xianbin a task yesterday, which was to ask him to analyze the season points promotion activities and then write a detailed report and submit it.
On the surface, he is keeping homework, but in fact, Mr. Pei himself wants to know what is going on...
I have to say that Hu Xianbin's efficiency is indeed very high. Pei Qian got this analysis report today.
But after reading it, my heart became even colder...
…
In the short and intense process of scoring points, the number of active players of gog, whether it is a mobile game or a client game, is skyrocketing every day.
The temptation of "a weekly salary of 100,000" is irresistible to players. Even if some people's rationality keeps telling them that it is impossible to get this 100,000, luck will still drive them to enter the game and give it a try.
GoG's season rewards are so generous that it attracts a large number of newcomers who have never played similar games. Coupled with the AI set up to protect newcomers' gaming experience, most people have a very good experience in the early stages of entering the game.
The positive feedback of the game is very strong, so most people will have the illusion that they are talented.
By the time you really realize that you won't get the bonus at all, you have often played at high intensity for two or three days, become very familiar with the game, and have experienced the fun of the game, so you are unlikely to get out of the trap.
Not only that, players' luck mentality will also drive them to "jump repeatedly."
If you are confident about screen rubbing, then play the mobile version;
If you are confident in operating the keyboard and mouse, then play the PC version;
If you were beaten in the PC version and feel that players in the mobile version are worse, consider switching to the mobile version;
Scrubbing the screen on the mobile game version is uncomfortable, but I think the keyboard and mouse operation of the PC game version is more convenient and accurate, so I will consider switching to the PC game version.
The setting of double-ended data interoperability allows players not to object to double-end data exchange at all, but rather enjoys it, and even stimulates their purchase of skins**.
After all, the skin is shared by both ends, one consumption, double happiness.
Going around and around, when players realize that they are good at playing both PC games and mobile games, gaming habits have also been formed.
In short, this event can be said to be stable, accurate and ruthless. It not only captured all experienced players, but also captured a large number of new players. In a short period of time, it raised the popularity of gog to an extremely high level through high bonuses, and in the studio
The event ended before the directors and directors had time to react, ensuring fairness to the greatest extent possible.
What follows is some mindless flattery of Mr. Pei.
…
After reading the report, Pei Qian was speechless.
Finally, I figured out the reason why the data was abnormal.
From this point of view, I have indeed lost money, but the price seems a bit high, completely beyond my original expectations...
"It doesn't matter."
"In short, as long as you can lose money in this cycle, we will talk about the future."
"However, the current situation of gog seems to have exposed a huge problem in my understanding of the game..."
"No, the next game will definitely change this status quo. We can no longer make money!"
"Sum up experience, learn lessons, and make a failed game!"
After these few days of hard thinking behind closed doors, Pei Qian has come up with a good idea for a street fighting game.
Next cycle, we must make clear arrangements for the two game departments!
…
…
Thursday, March 31st.
In front of Pei Qian's eyes, the system light curtain automatically appeared.
【Wealth Conversion System 2.0】
[Host: Pei Qian]
[Profit conversion ratio 1000:1, loss conversion ratio 10:1]
【Settlement is coming soon...】
[System funds: 3.77 million + 860,000 (↓5.37 million)]
[Fixed assets: a commercial and residential villa in Mingyun Villa (8.61 million)]
[Personal property: 340,000]
【Settlement in progress...】
[Wealth conversion in progress...]
[System funds: 3.77 million + 860,000 (↓5.37 million)]
[Personal property: 920,000 (↑530,000x110%)]
[If the wealth conversion value in the current cycle reaches more than 200,000, you will receive mysterious rewards within the system rules. (Can be claimed)]
[Currently unfinished project: Panic Hostel. It must be officially opened for business before the next settlement.]
Seeing this, Pei Qian finally let out a sigh of relief.
Feel comfortable!
After buying the house, Pei Qian had about 180,000 yuan left. He earned 100,000 yuan from writing movie scripts and received tens of thousands of yuan from red envelopes during the Chinese New Year.
Most of the daily expenses are basically reimbursed by the company, so I don’t have much money to spend, so I save it all.
After converting more than 580,000 this time, Pei Qian's personal property returned to 920,000.
Although it is hard work, it is still worth it!
Relatively speaking, it is obviously more cost-effective to lose money. For the same conversion of 530,000, it would cost 500 million to make money.
Moreover, these 500 million must be placed in the company's account during settlement and cannot be invested in order to achieve conversion. But if all this money is piled in the company's account and is not invested, how can we make more money?
So, no matter what, losing money is the correct way to open this system.
Pei Qian noticed that after the system entered 2.0, although the ratio was lowered due to the Matthew effect, it seemed that the difficulty of achieving losses had also been reduced accordingly.
In the past, Pei Qian worked so hard that he only had to make a loss once after three settlements.
But now, it seems that losses can be stabilized.
This is partly because after repeated failures, Pei Qian became more and more aware of the temper of the system and developed more tricks. For example, some of the industries he developed allowed drinking poison to quench thirst and exchanging money for reputation;
On the other hand, it is because the system has given more conveniences after the upgrade, such as a charity quota in each cycle, which allows a certain project to be extended to two cycles.
If we can pay compensation this time, the tens of millions spent by the Panic Hotel are very important.
After all, I converted 600,000 yuan of personal property in five months, which can be considered a monthly income of 100,000 yuan!
Well, congratulations!
With this money, it is no problem to purchase furniture, appliances, and soft furnishings for the new house.
Of course, we have to keep up our efforts.
In addition, Pei Qian also discovered a small hidden danger, that is, in terms of fixed assets, the price of the villa owned by Mingyun Private Kitchen has increased by more than 200,000...
Buying fixed assets in the name of the company for business activities can indeed spend a lot of money at once, but Pei Qian has never dared to buy more because it would affect the settlement.
The biggest problem with fixed assets is that after 10% conversion, it takes up system funds. When calculating the loss, loss = initial system funds - current system funds - 10% of fixed assets. This is very annoying.
If the initial capital of the system is only 10 million, and all the fixed assets of the company are worth 100 million, then there will be an embarrassing situation where even if Pei Qian spends all the system funds, it will still not be a loss.
However, this is the first settlement of the 2.0 system after all, and the initial system funds will continue to increase in the future.
As long as the initial system capital becomes 20 million, 30 million or even 50 million, then Pei Qian can consider buying more fixed assets in the name of the company for production and operation activities.
The more funds the system has, the more it loses and the more money it converts.
"I hope the system funds will be higher next cycle..." Pei Qian prayed silently.
