The fishing ground I opened has become a national leisure destination

Chapter 308 Online Movie Project

The biggest difficulty is funding.

Although the requirements for online movies are not high, both in terms of production quality and cost, the requirements are very low, but that is relative to the big screen.

Ordinary people simply don’t have the capital to play this game.

The probability of a so-called grassroots counterattack is very low, and how many real grassroots are there?

Qin Fen's family is indeed relatively well-off, but he can't just play around whenever he wants. If he's not careful, the consequences of losses can be unbearable.

"So, you still want to try, but are afraid of failure?" After listening to Qin Fen's thoughts and concerns, Chen Yuan understood Qin Fen's attitude.

"The cost of trial and error for poor people is limited. If they fail once, they may have to say goodbye to this line of work." Qin Fen did not deny it.

He wanted to try, but he certainly wouldn't get a lot of financial support. Although his family was well off, how could they possibly give him so much money to build it?

Even if some financial support is provided, after the losses, I am afraid that filming can only be treated as a pure hobby in the future.

Now the effect of short videos is quite good. With the accumulation of time, it may be possible to carve out a path for them, so he is still a little hesitant.

"Since you prefer to do it, then go ahead. I can support you financially, but you must share the box office profits." Chen Yuan finished his meal quickly and looked at Qin Fen seriously.

He decided to invest.

Firstly, he did have some spare money. After all, with the help of the system, whether it was construction or fish ponds, points could be used to complete it. Putting aside some forced returns and employee salaries, as well as contracting contracts, he had saved some money in the past few months.

He also had other ideas.

I originally planned to take time off during the Spring Festival to think about it, but when I couldn't find a suitable project, I focused on the tea brand.

Secondly.

Online movies are indeed profitable.

"You want to invest?" Qin Fen was surprised.

"Well, you can invest wholly or jointly, it depends on your own financial situation. I'll invest as much as you need." Chen Yuan nodded seriously.

"Are you optimistic about online movies?"

Originally, Qin Fen just wanted to hear Chen Yuan's advice, but he didn't expect his good brother to ask for investment. It seems that he is very optimistic about the online movie industry.

“It’s an emerging industry, and it’s profitable.”

Of course Chen Yuan is optimistic about this piece of cake, and most importantly, now is the best time.

I still remember that when this industry was emerging in my previous life, many industries rushed in to make money. Even Chen Yuan’s company at the time set up a special department, and Chen Yuan also assisted, so he can be said to have witnessed this industry.

In 14, that is, this year, a certain art company first proposed the standards and concepts of online movies. In the following few years, the industry entered a period of rapid development and the market size expanded rapidly.

The number of films produced each year reaches several thousand, and the number of daily active Internet users and the average daily user time have repeatedly set new records.

In short, in the next few years, online movies will usher in an era of wild growth, and rushing in will be like picking up money.

Although in the beginning, due to the lack of effective market supervision measures, online movies as a whole presented various vulgar modes such as skirting the rules and piggybacking on IP.

This makes the five words "online movie" labeled as vulgar.

Although in 19, the Radio, Film and Television Administration issued various regulatory policies, and the three leading platforms, iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, took the lead in promoting market transformation and upgrading, unified the joint naming of online movies, and forced online movies to undergo a transformation and move towards high-quality products, they still failed to remove this label.

But this did not affect the initial wild growth of online movies.

Low cost, big return, and short cycle.

This is the favorite of all capitals.

Back then, many internet celebrity teams switched to online movies and made a lot of money. Such a big cake did not require much technical content, so how could Chen Yuan miss it?

It’s just right that Qin Fen is in charge, which saves me a lot of trouble.

Perfect~
"If you say so, then I'll do it." Looking at Chen Yuan's serious and determined expression, Qin Fen was also full of ambition and gave it a go.

How many chances do we have to fight in this life, especially when we have good brothers fighting together.

“Do online movies really have a bright future? Movie production costs are not small, and many people suffer losses. I think it’s better to be cautious.”

Xie Di, who had been listening quietly beside him, took out a cigarette and walked around after dinner, and couldn't help but remind him.

Qin Fen had told him about this matter, but he had never done it before and couldn't explain it clearly. However, Chen Yuan was so arrogant that he just invested as much as he could, as if he couldn't wait to rush in and pick up the money.

Are you impulsive?

"Online movies are not the big screen, and the profit-sharing model is also different. Simply put, one dollar for an online movie is equivalent to about three dollars for a big screen," Qin Fen explained.

This is the advantage of harvest, as well as the advantage of production cost.

Whether it is the entry threshold or the production quality, it is a far cry from the big screen, otherwise he would not even dare to think about trying.

“So-called stability is the cost of trial and error. A poor person has no cost of trial and error. It is difficult to recover after making a mistake once. A rich person, however, has countless costs of trial and error. He can make mistakes 99 times, but being right once is success.”

Chen Yuan took the cigarette handed to him by Xie Di and lit it.

"That's the truth."

Xie Di held the cigarette in his mouth, lit it, exhaled the smoke and nodded.

“There are geniuses in this world, but 80% are ordinary people. Apart from their background and the cost of trial and error, no one is much better than anyone else.”

Chen Yuan flicked off his cigarette ash and said something very profound, "So if an emerging industry grows wildly, it's because people who have the cost of trial and error are helping ordinary people like us make mistakes. If we are not brave enough, ordinary people may not even have the opportunity to make mistakes in their lifetime."

"The most important thing is that this kind of opportunity to make a small investment for a big return is not always available. If you miss it once, it will be difficult to encounter it again next time."

Qin Fen felt that it made more and more sense and became more determined.

Xie Di also fell silent.

He took two puffs of his cigarette, his face firmed up, and looked up at Chen Yuan and Qin Fen, "Boss Chen, what you said makes sense. I'm shameless enough to invest a little, I wonder if you can help me get some money."

He still believed in Chen Yuan's ability to do business.

He has witnessed the development from the fishing ground to Yucheng Village with his own eyes. To be able to develop to this scale in just half a year, it certainly requires some strength.

Since even Boss Chen is so optimistic, why not take a gamble and join in the fun?

And as Boss Chen said, such opportunities are rare. If you miss them, you may never have them again in your life.

"You need to ask Fatty about this. He is the initiator of the project."

Chen Yuan did not express his opinion.

"I have no objection, but you have to handle this matter. After all, the main funding depends on you." Qin Fen thought for a while while smoking a cigarette, then looked at Chen Yuan and said.

Although his family is well-off, he certainly won't be able to get much money for this matter. It even depends on how Chen Yuan handles it before he can try to play the emotional card with my grandfather.

"In that case~"

Chen Yuan thought for a while, then said, "Well, we definitely need to set up a company to do this. I just estimated that it would be best to prepare two million. We will take the shares according to this amount, and we will take as much as we pay." "So much?"

Qin Fen and Xie Di were surprised.

Xie Di then looked at Qin Fen, his eyes seemed to be saying, you know more about this matter, are you sure you need so much money?
"Brother, the production cost of online movies is not high."

Qin Fen looked bitter.

If the cost is so high, he has no confidence that he can get much, and he doesn't even have the courage to ask his family.

Two million.

Not two hundred thousand.

"What do you think of the development of Chen Yuan's fishing ground? Is Yucheng Village developing fast?" Chen Yuan flicked off the ash from his cigarette and asked with a calm smile.

"To be honest, I watched you return to the village to start your own business. You started with one small pond, and now you own three ponds, as well as the Yucheng Village B&B, the hot spring park, the Ice and Snow World, etc. In just half a year, it can only be called a miracle."

Although Qin Fen didn't understand why Chen Yuan talked about this topic, looking at Chen Yuan's achievements in the past six months, he sincerely admired and marveled at the miracle.

"Chenyuan Fishing Ground and Yucheng Village have developed rapidly. If it were someone else, they might not be able to achieve this level in three to five years, or even ten years, let alone half a year."

Xie Di also admired it.

"I can't say it's a miracle, but if we work steadily and steadily, we may not be able to achieve this level in ten years. However, the market boom period does not last for ten years." Chen Yuan said quietly while exhaling a long puff of smoke.

Although there are tens of thousands of anglers in later generations and the market is huge, fishing grounds are also springing up everywhere.

Moreover, as time goes by, many anglers who have tried fishing in fishing grounds will eventually lose interest and turn to wild fishing. This is the market trend.

Now it is 14, and the fishing ground cake is still delicious. In a few years, this cake will not be so delicious.

"The same goes for online movies. The real wild growth cycle will not be too long. This is the best time to eat the cake," Chen Yuan continued.

Qin Fen and Xie Di seemed to understand.

It seems like I understand a little, but not completely.

"If there is only one person eating a cake, then it's fine, you can sit down and eat it slowly, but if there are many people rushing to eat it, if you eat it slowly, I'm afraid you won't even get the crumbs."

Chen Yuan looked at Qin Fen and Xie Di, who seemed to understand but not quite, and continued to explain: "It's just like the fishing ground and Yucheng Village. If I develop it step by step, I'm afraid it won't be developed to this level in ten years. And after ten years, the fishing ground business may be difficult to maintain."

"I chose to cooperate with Wang Tao and his team to develop rapidly and seize the market. No matter how the industry develops in the future, at least I have quickly occupied the market share and occupied an absolute position in the Chongshi and even Subian market."

"Which of these two options will earn you more?"

Which one earns more?

Is there any need to think about this?

"I'm sure you're making more money now."

Qin Fen and Xie Di blurted out the answer without even thinking.

"I can't say for sure, but there is a 99% chance that it will be the current model. However, under this model, I have given up my share, and the overall investment is also greater." Chen Yuan extinguished his cigarette and said meaningfully.

Qin Fen and Xie Di's eyes suddenly lit up, and they finally understood what Chen Yuan meant.

To sum it up simply in four words: seize the market.

Exchange money for time, use it to seize the market and eat the cake like crazy.

There are pros and cons to doing this.

The disadvantage is that the investment is too large and the share will be diluted. Take Chen Yuan Fishing Ground and Yucheng Village as examples, Chen Yuan’s share has been diluted a lot.

But there are also advantages. Let’s take Chen Yuan’s fishing ground as an example. If Chen Yuan wanted to eat slowly by himself, it would be difficult for him to achieve this scale in his lifetime.

And you may be kicked off the table at any time.

"The revenue sharing cycle for online blockbusters is not long, and the return on investment is quick, but it still takes a period of time from investment to revenue sharing, and this time cannot be wasted."

From Chen Yuan's perspective in later generations, he felt that online movies can be divided into two most important stages.

The first initial stage is from now to 19.

This stage is an era of influx and wild growth, with everyone adhering to the "money-making effect" rather than creation itself.

Large numbers of crudely made and shoddy online movies have emerged so rapidly that online movies have been labeled with negative labels such as vulgar, bad, and copycat.

But this does not affect the profitability of online movies, so the creators have no scruples and only focus on making money, so they shoot movies frantically, racing against time without any breaks.

Therefore, the number of online movies at this stage is extremely crazy, with hundreds of them being launched online every day.

Later generations called this initial stage "winning by quantity."

As long as you shoot, you will make money, no matter it is vulgar or a bad movie, no matter it is a copycat IP or plagiarism. Before anything happens, there is only one word: shoot!

It was not until the introduction of policies by the radio, film and television industry that this industry moved from winning by quantity to the era of high-quality products. Although the number has dropped sharply, the market is getting bigger and bigger, and even the big screen is rushing in to share a piece of the pie.

"Brother, this is a huge gamble. You don't even let go of the revenue sharing period. You're just shooting like crazy. If the effect is not ideal, you will lose money all the way. Millions will not be enough to waste."

Qin Fen pondered over Chen Yuan's words, then his face turned bitter with a smile.

"It's really brave. Either you get fat or you starve to death."

Xie Di also understood Chen Yuan’s madness, or ambition.

Just like starting a business in the village, it will develop rapidly and either soar to the sky or collapse directly.

"There is certainly no harm in being cautious, but the benefits are certainly limited. If you wait until you are sure there will be benefits before taking action, you may miss the opportunity."

Chen Yuan took out a cigarette box, twisted out three cigarettes with one hand, handed them to Qin Fen and Empress Xie, and lit one himself, took a puff and continued:
"Two million may seem like a lot, but it will cost a lot to rent an office space and hire staff. I'm afraid the remaining funds won't last long for continuous filming."

Qin Fen and Xie Di smoked silently without saying anything.

"Taking a step back, although there is a revenue sharing period and the money cannot be received, the profit and loss can be seen. If the effect is good, I can continue to shoot without any pressure."

If the effect is not good, it will go bankrupt.

But is it possible?

With Chen Yuan in charge, and having assisted in this project in his previous life, he has a general understanding of the industry situation, content development, and even some fine research.

Wait for the money.
"Damn it, if we're going to do this, let's do it big. This is settled. I'll go back and discuss it after the competition. No matter how much we can get, we'll get it done before the end of the month."

Qin Fen took a few puffs of his cigarette, then put it out and said.

"me too."

Xie Di smoked quietly, and after finishing his cigarette, he made the same decision.
