The afternoon sun shines through the half-closed curtains. Dust can be seen floating in the air. From a distance, the sound of someone's child practicing the piano can be heard. His technique is clumsy and not continuous enough, but at least the notes are accurate. I'm sure that in time he will be able to play a pleasant melody.
Downstairs you can also hear the community's information exchange center, where the elderly people listen to the radio and chat in the sun.
The quiet and peaceful world seemed unreal to Lu Ban.
It was as if I had suddenly returned from the war-torn front line to my peaceful hometown.
But at least, a hundred years after he traveled through time, the Kingdom of Night still existed.
While feeling relieved, Lu Ban suddenly became curious again.
I can travel from the present world to the Kingdom of Night in the past, but how can I guarantee that the present Kingdom of Night is the "present"?
If the present Kingdom of Night is actually the "past", and the future Kingdom of Night has actually been destroyed...
"Forget it, there's no point."
Now the existence of the alien world is like a cat in a box to Lu Ban. He cannot confirm whether it has been destroyed unless he opens it.
But now Lu Ban is more and more certain that Du Danping himself may still exist at some point in time in some foreign land, and he may have the chance to meet him in the future.
At the same time, these missions in the Land of Silence were not arranged on a whim by some great being, or not entirely on a whim. They might also be trying to accomplish something by using the actions of the Chosen Ones in foreign lands.
But, since they can control time and throw people into the timeline at will, why do they still need to rely on the power of mortals?
Could it be that these gods themselves are also sealed?
Lu Ban became curious.
He went to the computer and turned on the host.
The hard drive that was almost full contained the records of "War in the Pocket".
Lu Ban opened the folder and first glanced at the directory to make sure there was no title like "Above the Moon" before checking it with confidence.
"Ninety percent of the exploration degree. The missing part in the middle refers to the masters of the other two demonic waves?"
Lu Ban was thinking.
The goal of this mission is just to survive until the end of the Demonic Tide. If you are lucky, you can hide somewhere and survive. After all, according to Xia's history, this Demonic Tide did not cause any devastating blow to mankind. You may be able to survive by being a deserter or being born directly in a town in low difficulty.
But that level of exploration is mediocre at best. If you want to reach a higher level of exploration, you have to experience the magic tide head-on. And if you want to achieve 100% perfection, you need to solve the source of the magic tide.
"So, is strategic land cleansing really feasible?"
Lu Ban looked at the radio at hand.
The effect of this [Small-scale Natural Disaster Generator] is unexpected, and once it is turned on, it is almost perpetual motion.
There are scorching sun, thunderstorms, tornadoes, and all kinds of powerful natural disasters.
Why only need to sell more than 80,000 silence points?
Lu Ban was puzzled.
If [Silent Department Store] had a review system, he would definitely give it a good review.
After changing his clothes and checking his wounds which were almost healed, Lu Ban began to count the video footage.
Maybe because the Demon Tide is a large-scale scene, there are many scenes, including the resistance of nearby fortresses, etc. The only regret may be that it is not scary enough.
In other words, only eyewitnesses like Lu Ban can feel the despair after the arrival of the demonic tide. Of course, through the recorded images, the audience should also be able to have similar feelings, but overall, Lu Ban believes that this story is more suitable for a passionate special effects blockbuster rather than a thriller.
The dark world view, desperate monsters pouring in like a tide, the oppressive monster overlord blocking the sky, and the knights holding long swords fighting to the death until the last moment, all of these are exciting.
Lu Ban also saw the scene where Jonah and others came on horseback to rescue him after he had dealt with Frost. If this scene was slightly altered to become a plot in which a group of knights arrived to reinforce him in a desperate situation and defeated the monsters, it would definitely be a blockbuster movie.
“Maybe this time we can break the previous box office record?”
The audience of this kind of commercial blockbuster is completely different from that of horror films and thrillers. If the upper limit of horror films and thrillers is only 30 to 40 billion, then this kind of commercial film may easily reach more than 5 billion, and this is just the box office in mainland China.
If it is released abroad, it might be able to reap the rewards and make a ton of money.
Of course, for Lu Ban, making money is secondary. Spreading foreign knowledge through movies is what is truly important.
“In addition, we need to improve the previous actor manual so that everyone can devote themselves to the creation!”
Lu Ban increasingly feels the importance of letting everyone see the world.
If those winter wolves, plagues, and shadows appeared directly in front of the people of this world, their sanity would probably be immediately tortured and abnormal conditions would occur. However, the rangers of the Kingdom of Darkness don’t have to worry about these at all. This must be the result of a certain amount of training.
Turning his attention back to the system, Lu Ban clicked on the career development task.
【Career Development Tasks】
[Strike while the iron is hot, tell the world that your limits are not limited to this, and give them a subversive feeling with the unprecedented and most shocking viewing experience]
[Task requirements: Release a work from the movie universe and earn 5 billion in revenue]
【Release of Movie Universe Works: 0/1】
[Gained income: 0/5000000000]
[“Making money is not shameful”]
"Five billion..."
When Lu Ban saw this number, he felt more like it was expected than surprised.
The current domestic box office champion has a box office of 5.6 billion, but this is just the box office.
After the box office revenue is shared between theaters and distributors, only about 40% of the profits ultimately go to the producers. That means out of the 5 billion box office revenue, only a little over 2 billion is earned. After deducting taxes, it's even less.
If Lu Ban wants to get 5 billion in revenue, the box office must be at least 10 billion.
Although his previous films, "The Wailing" and "In the Mouth of a Madman", have set box office records for domestic horror films, the combined box office of the two films is less than 10 billion.
It seems a bit unrealistic to achieve this level of income with just one movie now, relying solely on box office revenue.
Lu Ban checked and found out that the current global box office champion in the world has a box office of 2.7 billion US dollars, which converts to more than 15 billion yuan, which meets the condition of 5 billion yuan in revenue.
The fifth place below barely made 2 billion US dollars, which is just the bottom line of 5 billion in revenue.
The box office of subsequent movies with over a billion US dollars no longer meets the mission standards.
"Huh? This is how I'll make one of the top five highest-grossing movies in history?"
Lu Ban realized it later.
