Chapter 79 Box Office Analysis
The Supreme Being…

Shen Yan gained a lot.

The current income from royalties, simplified Chinese publishing, and comic copyright exceeds 400 million!
On the premise that the game adaptation rights have not yet been sold.

Shen Yan was not satisfied with the prices offered by several major game companies...

Want to buy the game adaptation rights for 200 million?
Shen Yan was not in a hurry. His popularity would rise rapidly anyway, and by then, the game adaptation rights, including film and television copyrights, would be more expensive!

Oh, and he suggested that Ji Xiang buy the film and television adaptation rights for a number of online literary works...

Even if you don't develop it, you can wait for two years and sell it to some film and television companies when the online literature IP film and television copyrights soar, and you can make a fortune!
But Ji Xiang... didn't have this idea...

Well, he didn't have time for that.

He followed the project of "Lotus Tower" throughout the whole process - Huace has decided to launch it in October this year. "Lotus Tower" was a project launched before the launch and is Huace's key drama of the year. Ji Xiang is one of the producers!

The media that interviewed was Sina Entertainment...

They were indeed very interested in Shen Yan.

As time went by, the five songs of Shen Yan became more and more popular, especially Zouma, Xiaoban...

These two songs are folk songs.

It does take time for folk songs to spread.

At this stage, with the rise of new Internet media, audiences are no longer interested in the programmed singing of academic elite singers.

What the audience needs are songs that are casual, catchy, pleasant and can relieve greasiness!
It just so happens that "Xiaoban", "Zou Ma" and "Guang" all fall into this category.

It even made it into the top 20 on the ringtone download list.

Shen Yan’s Weibo followers also exceed 50.

His profile is: A layman...

Of course, the reason why Sina Entertainment interviewed him, in addition to his musical talent, is mainly because of his identity as a writer. His martial arts novels: "Lotus Tower" and "You Fei" have sparked a lot of discussion in the martial arts circle, and both have been published in simplified Chinese versions, with sales exceeding 30.

The key point is that in addition to being a martial arts novelist, he is also an online writer.

"The Supreme One" has long been ranked in the top three on Baidu's novel search list...

However, there is very little search information about Shen Yan...not even as much as the search volume for 'fried husky'!
On the one hand, he doesn't do much business, and the most he posts on Weibo is some nine-square grid landscape photos;
On the other hand, the TV series and movies he starred in have not been broadcast yet!

Apart from the promotion of "Shen Yan", he was widely exposed, but there was a lack of subsequent exposure, which made it feel like the song was popular but the artist was not...

It's the exact opposite of those singers who participated in talent shows - they are famous but have no songs.

After Ji Xiang noticed this problem, he first asked Shen Yan for his opinion on whether he was willing to face the media...

Shen Yan was a little confused and asked directly, "If I don't want to face the media, why should I enter the circle?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to be an artist? Artists are usually aloof and dismissive of the media..."

"The artists who were already famous at that time... No, that's crazy. Artists are sincere to people!"

Since this is the case, Ji Xiang began to plan to increase Shen Yan's exposure...that is, to build a personal IP.

Of course, at this stage, there is no such word.

In addition to Sina Entertainment, Ji Xiang also arranged exclusive interviews with Sanlian and Southern Weekend...

It can also be regarded as an advance promotion of "Introduction to Architecture"...

……

"When I first started writing novels, I just wanted to make some money... I wrote 'The Supreme One' and 'Lotus Tower' at the same time... 'You Fei' was commissioned by 'Wuxia Edition'. The editor asked me to write another one, so I wrote it..."

"Were you short of money at the time?"

"Well, I started writing last March... At that time, I came to Beijing and was not doing well..."

Shen Yan briefly introduced his situation last year...

By the way, he talked about signing a contract with his agent: "Afterwards, through an introduction, I joined the crew of "National Anthem" as a supporting actor, and then I met Wen Zhang... Wen Zhang introduced his agent to me..."

"And then you started acting?"

"Yes, thanks to my agent's help in contacting the crew, I was able to have the opportunity to audition..."

"...How many dramas have you filmed so far?" "Two TV series, and I'm currently filming a movie..."

“Which two TV series?”

"'The World of Clothes' and 'The Strange Hero Yizhimei' should be airing this year...both are Tangren productions."

"You always play the leading role?"

Shen Yan thought for a moment and said, "If you consider it as a main role, in "Yi Pi Tian Xia" he is the second male lead according to the amount of screen time, and in "Strange Hero Yi Zhi Mei" he is the villain..."

"So what do you think is the most important thing for an actor?"

"You have to get into the industry first. Image and acting skills are important, but if you can't even get into this industry, then you don't have any chance at all!"

"What about the music?"

"It's the same with music... If I hadn't signed with an agency and gone through commercial marketing, I'd at best be a slightly famous online singer... the kind not recognized by the mainstream."

"Is the news about the adaptation of 'Lotus Tower' true?"

"Well, Huace has already approved the project and has found director Li Huimin. I will play the leading male role, Li Lianhua... This is my first time as the male lead!"

"They think so highly of you?"

"Not really. The condition for me to sell the film and television adaptation rights is that I play the leading male role!"

"Movies too?"

"Almost, this movie itself was written for myself..."

We exchanged some recent news, and then moved on to the main topic - "Introduction to Architecture"...

"The name of the movie is 'Introduction to Architecture'? Why is it called that?"

Shen Yan explained: "…mainly because the core plot of the script revolves around an architecture class, and uses architecture as a metaphor for the construction process of love and life.

The hero and heroine met in an architecture class at university, and many years later they reunited as an architect and a client, and a love story unfolded…”

"A movie about love?"

“There is love and there is family affection…”

"Looking for Li Bingbing?"

"Well, my agent had met Sister Bingbing before, so we boldly invited her this time... Sister Bingbing liked the script very much and accepted it!" Shen Yan added: "With Sister Bingbing joining, the financing for our film will be easily solved."

"Have you confirmed the release date?"

"Yes, this year's Qixi Festival..."

"Have you ever predicted the box office?"

"Of course the higher the box office, the better. We should first consider recovering the cost..."

Shen Yan's answer was very frank...

He responded to every question, except for his love life, to which he replied, "Let's not discuss that..."

Shen Yan is not an idiot, he tells everything...

……

The Qixi Festival holiday is on August 8th, and this date is the result of comprehensive consideration by the distribution company.

Firstly, the love theme is very fitting, and it was released at the same time as "Love Announcement" and "Dragon Phoenix Shop"...

It's also a hot period.

As for its biggest rival, "Aftershock", it was released on July 7, which is already a month later!
According to Shen Yan, there should be no problem for "Introduction to Architecture" to exceed 8000 million at the box office.

Li Bingbing + Ren Quan... this pairing has quite a few CP fans...

And You Dazhi also has some works in the field of directing...

With Guangguang as the main distributor, the early film scheduling should be able to guarantee...

If word of mouth can spread, it is not impossible for the box office to exceed 100 million!
