Chapter 271 Professional Pie (asking for monthly ticket)
Standing on the table, I looked at the crowded and excited scene.

Qi Hao had the illusion that he had traveled through time to a beer hall.

Of course, he is now very clear-headed and does not think that he has conquered so many people with his personal charm.

They're all here for the money!
If you don't have a face that can make people fall in love at first sight, and lack the money to make people fall in love with you over time, why would people like you?

"Hello brothers, I didn't expect to have the opportunity to gather together today. Everyone here today is the future of Chinese comics. I am an outsider and shouldn't say anything nonsense, but since I have the honor to participate, I wish you all success."

There are so many people coming that this place can hardly accommodate them.

Tian Xiaopeng's studio is not big. He cleared out the chairs, computers and other things to make room for it, but it is still full and there are people at the entrance of the company.

The heads of major studios and companies went in, and the people they brought were communicating at the company gates or even in the elevator lobby. There might be some in the park below as well, but Qi Hao didn't go to see them.

"Today is our big birthday. Director Tian Xiaopeng has been preparing for this project since 1997. It has been thirteen years now. It has not been easy for him!"

Qi Hao first boasted for Tian Xiaopeng.

Anyway, he invested in this movie, so if Tian Xiaopeng benefits, it is equivalent to his benefit.

"Where there is a will, there is a way. I was moved by his sincerity and his project, so I invested in this film."

Qi Hao advertised on the spot.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether there are eight or eighty Vajras. What matters is that Xihao can get more and more good projects.

Qi Hao really didn't have that much cash.

But investing 50 million does not mean you can just take out 50 million at once. In fact, considering the long production cycle of animated films, the 50 million may take as short as half a year, or as long as one or two years to be fully delivered.

What's more, Qi Hao has cooperated with the bank many times now.

The Oriental bank president who is in charge of this business can approve the loan with just one phone call.

"If Chinese comics want to rise, it is not enough to rely on sentiment alone. Technology and ecology are the most important. Of course, although technological progress can improve production capacity, we should not excessively pursue visual effects and ignore the depth of narrative. How to make technology serve the core of the story is the key to the future creation of our Chinese comics."

Qi Hao took this opportunity to talk about the development goals of the alliance.

Of course, he is a professional at making big promises.

After talking for a while, Qi Hao began to imagine the future capital layout.

From content production, to IP incubation and adaptation, to distribution, and finally to terminal presentation.

Content production, that is, comic creation website.

This also means that Qi Hao is interested in investing in a comic creation website.

If someone says something like this, people might just listen to it.

But Qi Hao himself is a shareholder of many companies. If he wants to acquire a comic creation website, it would be a piece of cake.

Content is the most upstream industry, and it is only a matter of time before we get involved.

IP incubation and adaptation is what they are doing now.

Producing animated series, making big movies, producing peripheral products, and developing new technologies are all businesses that the National Comics Development Alliance is involved in.

This organization has now received attention from above.

And although it is possible that some department will provide nominal guidance, I don’t know how high-level department will be involved.

If it’s worse, it might be the China Animation Society, and if it’s better, it might be the General Administration or the Ministry of Culture.

By then, the National Comics Development Alliance will no longer be just a non-governmental organization.

Distribution and terminal presentation are actually monetization.

Qi Hao's Zhonghao Entertainment is indeed interested in getting into the distribution business. If Aunt Hua and Bernard can do it, why can't Zhonghao do it?

The terminals are cinemas, TV stations, video websites, surrounding markets, etc.

If he were the only company doing this, it would be difficult to make a name for himself.

But now that we have established a national comics development alliance, there is great hope of achieving the goal of integrating resources.

The current Eight Great Kings are basically studios at the forefront of animation production.

If we invest further in the future, we may invest in all aspects of the industry.

After Qi Hao finished speaking, everyone was excited again.

The Eight Vajras were not selected in the first wave, and may not be selected in the second wave, but it doesn’t matter. As long as you are in the alliance, you are eligible to enjoy the convenience brought by this resource integration.

And it can also save costs.

Even Original Power, which has already achieved great success in the industry and is the creator of the Pleasant Goat IP, has joined this alliance.

They also sent someone to take a look today.

Their big movie "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" only cost 600 million yuan. Is it because they like to make a small investment for a big return?
Definitely not.

They just had no money. Before they made the big movie, their annual profit was less than 10 million.

Even if they want to make a good product, they have no chance. Qi Hao has both the funds and resources, and may become a national comic platform in the future. Only a fool would be willing to be isolated.

After Qi Hao finished speaking, it was the fake Taoist's turn.

The fact that he is fully armed now is not really to play tricks, but to promote his Taoist culture through rituals.

In the promotion of "A Little Thing Called First Love", there are some shots of Taoist priests playing with swords.

Of course, I wouldn’t say it’s for feudal superstition like metaphysics.

He said that a friend came to support the movie and invited him to promote the traditional Taoist martial arts culture.

Today, because the venue is too small, we performed the Bagua Linked Sword. Although it is a common sword technique, this martial art looks particularly dazzling when used by everyone.

The scene was full of filmmakers, and when they saw this kind of "material", many of them shouted at him to do another one.

Maybe I can use it in my own animated film.

The Taoist had no idea that these people were trying to steal his skills. He felt a little dizzy from the flattery and it took him three tricks before he came to his senses.

When taking group photos, many people wanted to take a photo with Qi Hao.

Qi Hao also accepted everyone who came.

During the final group photo, Qi Hao stood in the center position, and many people gathered around him and took photos.

It’s very difficult for the photographer.

When the photo is developed, it will probably be full of heads.

This photo is destined to be extraordinary.

In 2010, when Chinese comics were just starting out, a group of people came together with a common goal.

Let’s work together for the development of Chinese comics.

Most people are full of passion and emotion at this time.

If you were more immature, you might say this is a groundbreaking photo.

After attending the "opening ceremony" of "The Return of the Great Sage", Qi Hao continued his various roadshows.

On March 1, "A Little Thing Called First Love" had been released for a full month, with a total box office of 8875 million.

The gap between the box office revenue of over 200 million is actually just over 10 million.

China Film Group decisively renewed the key.

The box office makes hundreds of thousands every day, and sometimes even millions on weekends. Why not continue to stay in the cinema?

In addition, this film has also begun to be released in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and many other places.

Everyone has a first love.

Well, at least most people would.

There are many movies of the same type. Many people have many classic love stories in their minds, such as "Love Letter", "Love Letter", "5 Centimeters per Second", "The Notebook", "If You Are the One"...

There are relatively few in China, but it has caused a wave of enthusiasm now, and many movies about youth and campus have begun to be launched.

The overseas box office of "A Little Thing Called First Love" will not be too bad.

Therefore, 200 million is not a goal at all, but a sure thing. What we need to care about now is how big the global total box office will be.

After the first month of release, Qi Hao stopped the roadshow.

For this movie, he and An Feng have traveled to more than ten cities.

At the beginning, Ms. Liu insisted on following.

She was always worried that something would happen between Qi Hao and An Feng. Not only was she worried that Qi Hao would turn into a big bad wolf, but she was also worried that her daughter would not be able to withstand the temptation of this high-quality young man. But later on, she was too lazy to follow him. She was too old to handle it.

After the roadshow, preparations for the release of Lost on Journey began.

On the day the movie was released, March 3, Penguin once again paid stock dividends.

This time, Penguin paid a dividend of HK$0.4 per share.

Qi Hao holds more than 660 million Penguin shares. After this round of dividends, he even generated a profit of two to three million Hong Kong dollars.

As usual, Qi Hao used this money to directly buy Penguin stocks.

The amount of money was actually not much, but the attitude of support and the confidence in Penguin's stock moved Penguin somewhat.

After all, the 3Q war has already begun to show signs. In order to prevent their money from shrinking due to the stock price drop caused by corporate competition, many people are selling their Penguin stocks.

Penguin had to make a large repurchase as a result.

At this time, Qi Hao seemed particularly righteous as he used all the dividend income to increase his investment in Penguin stock.

Therefore, in return, Penguin's platform began to help promote the movie at a low price.

"Lost on Journey" has realized... pop-up ads!
