Time goes back to the summer of 2020.
After another massive song sales, Chen Feng used his old tricks again and created Starlight Studio and Stargame with greater investment.
Although he himself changed his personality, Meng Xiaozhou managed Starpeak Entertainment in an orderly manner.
At that time, Chen Feng's industry was still blessed by the Lu family in China, and there were various overtures from large capital overseas. In addition, he gave Meng Xiaozhou a list of key songs and talent discovery. The development of Starpeak Entertainment was smooth sailing.
In 2025, Starpeak Entertainment, an entertainment empire based in China and successfully opening up overseas markets, officially reached a market value of 10 billion US dollars.
In five years and seven months, Chen Feng created a Disney in the field of music from scratch.
But this is not the end. In the same year, the Starlight Studio, which had been sharpening its sword for five years, began to show its edge.
"Over the Stars", directed by the famous director James Diaz, was released worldwide.
Special effects, soundtracks, performance techniques, scripts, cast, production team, publicity and marketing efforts, etc. are all full. I dare not say that it will never be the last, but it is unprecedented.
Before 2025, high-investment big productions were the patent of Hollywood.
Do Chinese filmmakers have no money?
Not necessarily.
The investment of several big bad movies combined can also catch up with a Hollywood big production.
So in fact, Chinese film investors are quite rich, but they would rather treat their money as paper and burn a little at a time, and finally throw it all away. They neither dare nor have the ability to try big productions.
Sometimes they can also make a big production with all their efforts, but in the end they find that the amount of money spent is actually not absolutely positively correlated with whether the film is bad or not, so they simply give up and invest more traffic stars and just enough money to increase the traffic. What
China really lacks is not money, but people and teams who can spend money well, spend money on the right things, and effectively convert money into market value.
Or even if there are such people and teams, investors have no confidence in them, and the matter will die in the womb.
It takes a person like this to step up, gather together the money that many investors have nowhere to go, and then make a work worthy of the investment amount.
When Chen Feng was making "Across the Stars", he had no such concerns at all.
He is not only the chief screenwriter, but also the chief producer, and also an investor.
He does not spend other people's money, but only burns his own money.
This is difficult to understand, especially in the early promotion, when his investment amount of 600 million US dollars was put out, it shocked everyone.
Some people think he is crazy.
Even James Diaz, who was in charge of burning money, was shocked when he heard his investment amount. I don't know what he is going to do, is he so anxious about burning too much money?
Although I am optimistic about your script and our plan is perfect, it is enough to spend 300 million. Aren’t you afraid of losing money?
In the documentary of the shooting of "Across the Stars", there is a video in which Chen Feng comforts others happily, "Don't be nervous, you are fine like this, do it well, I am not looking for money, but we can't fool around with the film."
The final result is that the box office of "Across the Stars" exceeded 6 billion US dollars, breaking the historical record of "Asouda" shot by James Diaz himself in 2009, which had been sealed for 16 years.
This movie is too strong, too strong.
Others were surprised, but Chen Feng thought it was natural.
The same "Across the Stars" has proven itself in many past timelines.
As long as the publicity keeps up, it will definitely not fail.
If it can be released on time on May 25, 2025,
it will definitely be a big hit. The timeline will naturally follow some rules.
Even if it fails, I am not afraid.
This time his production level is higher, the rhythm is better controlled, and the script reproduced and recreated due to enhanced memory is more impeccable.
He also replaced several actors who had flawed and unsatisfactory performances in the previous version. He was extremely demanding.
More than 90% of the special effects in the movie were created by thousands of employees in the Star Light and Shadow Studio, using a new intelligent rendering engine that is nearly 80 years ahead of the times.
The terrifying thing about this engine is that after applying the concept of quantum programming, its artificial intelligence learning ability is very terrifying, and it can simulate the real picture into a virtual scene in almost all aspects.
In order to cooperate with this engine, Chen Feng not only spent an astonishing price to rent the computing power of the national supercomputing center, but also brought over the carbon single-element chip prototype that had just been completed by the Star Research Institute next door.
At the beginning, Ryan objected, saying that the chip was not stable yet.
As a result, Chen Feng backhandedly prepared an almost absolutely insulated refrigerant to flood it, and then backhandedly adjusted the chip structure...
Well, the chip was not stable before, but it is stable now.
Ryan quietly took the new design and cryogenic liquid formula that Chen Feng gave him and left, muttering something, "You said you were not a genius, but you had already planned it. This has accelerated the time for widespread use by at least five years. You are a monster..."
According to the principle of movie box office sharing, the theatrical release of "Over the Stars" brought Xingfeng Entertainment more than 1.8 billion US dollars in net income. If you add in the later Internet on-demand and peripheral expansion income, the final long-term income of this film can add up to more than 3 billion US dollars.
This is thanks to the successful streaming media legal payment system promoted by foreign platforms such as Netflix and domestic platforms such as Tencent and iQiyi since 2015.
Although there are still many fake art movies and TV shows on these platforms, the good stuff can at least satisfy your hunger.
In short, in 2025, Xingfeng Entertainment once again stepped into the fast lane of film and music going hand in hand.
The historic explosion of Xingfeng's first film "Across the Stars" also brought him new changes.
Chen Feng no longer needs to use his face to attract famous directors and big names, but these people took the initiative to come to his door and break his threshold.
With a beautiful and impeccable script, money, influence, the Chinese and English markets are fully open to him, and he can help directors control the storyboards and rhythm...
Is there a better producer in the world?
No!
Directors think that as long as they follow his mindless trust and do their best to exert their aesthetic skills, they can get their names on the historical box office list.
Why not?
Old actors think that in his films, they can not only polish their acting skills, but also participate in the new era of movies, experience new technologies, and explore their own limits, and they don’t need to be paid!
Of course, there are more young actors and actresses who come to him.
But Chen Feng is very picky and can see through people's lives at a glance.
He knows which young actors and actresses are still promising and can be saved, and which ones are already terminally ill and cannot be cured.
So he would not reject everyone. He would use those who could be saved and leave those who could not be saved alone.
With a larger investment scale, more available talents, and more good scripts, Chen Feng considered the market's tolerance limit and decided to produce six to eight films a year. Almost as soon as one film was released, another one would take over.
He was going to create eight movie universes in total.
Of course, he would not spend 600 million US dollars on each film, nor would he pursue explosive box office for each film.
Anyway, he could make money standing still, it was just a matter of more or less.
He can control the rhythm precisely, and his core purpose has changed from making money to telling a beautiful story while making money, expressing delicate emotions in a complete worldview, and giving people something to think about and warn.
He did make all the money standing up.
Under his operation, Xingfeng Entertainment has eaten up half of the science fiction film market.
In fact, according to past concepts, he should have eaten up all the science fiction films.
But in fact, he didn't.
There is no shortage of geniuses in the world, only fertile soil that can give birth to geniuses.
With Xingfeng Entertainment leading the industry, the artistic pursuits of filmmakers at home and abroad have been reawakened.
Chen Feng taught others how to make money standing up, and others followed his example, and even surpassed him.
Starting from 2028, with the sincere work "Resurrection" by Neil Brockamp, a new era of flourishing movies has arrived.
"Resurrection" tells the grand story of an astronaut who was sucked into a black hole but survived unexpectedly and resurrected a million years later, leading the human civilization that had been enslaved by advanced civilization for more than 900,000 years to continue to fight.
The protagonist reawakened the anger in the hearts of the enslaved earthlings, ignited the earthlings' desire for freedom, and finally broke the technological barriers established by advanced civilizations, allowing the earth civilization to live freely again.
The world view background is still a bit utopian, but under Neil's exquisite narration, it can be self-consistent, and the new special effects technology provided by Starlight Studios has been used to break the non-existent blockade of Starlight Movies, which is well deserved.
After all, Chen Feng handed a knife to others and let them stab him. He is so generous.
In the end, Chen Feng's profits were diluted by competitors, but he was not angry at all, but happy.
By 2038, Star Peak Entertainment has launched a total of 48 movies, with a total box office of 137.2 billion US dollars.
Chen Feng's promotion of the film industry is not limited to the field of science fiction movies.
Various other themes, including reality, love, magic, fairy tales, comedy, etc., are all influenced by his thoughts.
His movies not only have speculations about the future system, but also allusions and criticisms of reality. In addition to providing people with excellent entertainment experience, they can also make people think deeply again and again.
Watching his movies is not a waste of time, but a refueling station for people's hearts.
This time Chen Feng has learned his lesson and no longer blindly portrays alien invaders.
Among his eight series, six series portray cosmic crises, such as abnormal cosmic phenomena or invasions by advanced civilizations.
The other two series focus on the complex relationship between artificial intelligence and humans.
There are betrayals and reconciliations, but the final destination is the same.
Due to the species characteristics of earthlings, the development of human civilization cannot be separated from the help of artificial intelligence. This is the only way for civilization.
At the same time, if artificial intelligence wants to achieve true soaring and liberation and have the real value of living, it cannot be separated from the innovative consciousness of human beings.
The two complement each other and are indispensable.
Birth, cooperation, the generation and intensification of contradictions, reconciliation, moving forward side by side, and heading towards the universe...
This is the ultimate common destination of human beings and artificial intelligence.
If one of them disappears in time, the final fate of the other will not be very good.
Chen Feng conveyed an idea to the stars that may be born in the air.
Since everyone will still fight side by side and share weal and woe in the end, why not skip the stage of contradiction and directly become comrades-in-arms to face the common enemy that is bound to come together?
As for the eighth movie universe he finally completed, it was the new version of "Ocular Crisis".
Finally, in 2038, the market value of Star Peak Entertainment incredibly climbed over 100 billion US dollars.
In the same year, he did another big thing in the field of entertainment culture.
Produced by Star Trek Games, "Ocular Crisis", which took 18 years to make and the total investment exceeded 10 billion US dollars, made a shocking debut.
Star Trek Games, with an average staff of 7,000 people, took 18 years to quietly make this game.
In these 18 years, almost all the top producers, excellent programmers and planners in major game companies around the world have come and gone in Star Trek Games.
One year, someone, with a dream of joining this well-paid company, heard that the boss had a big plan to make a big production that game developers dream of.
Three years later...
Watma, your plan is too big!
It’s been three years!
Not to mention closed beta testing, you are still editing the engine over there, and you are still filling in the details of the worldview here. What are you going to do?
Six years later, someone completed the graduation exam of the Whampoa Military Academy in the gaming world, and finally decided to give up his high salary and go out to pursue a new dream. I have to work for a lifetime, and I have to make a finished product, right?
Nine years later...
I, Hu Hansan, am back!
I am not willing to give in. I, Anqi He, must see the day when this game is closed and tested.
Well, the first phase of closed beta testing has begun!
Twelve years later...
the seventy-third revision has just been completed, and the seventy-fourth closed beta is now open.
Farewell.
I'd better go out and make a random mobile game, and then watch the mobile games rise and fall in the app store rankings.
Fifteen years later...
I, Chen Liangqi, am back!
Eighteen years later...
Seven thousand people watched the game "The Eyes" with a total installation package volume of 177.5 tons being slowly uploaded to the Internet, and they shed excited tears
. More than 330,000 professional game professionals from all over the world also heard the news and burst into tears.
We come and go, walk back and forth.
We make progress here, earn a salary and buy a house here, and make money day by day. Year after year, we waited in agony, watching our hard work being blasted by the boss.
The boss would occasionally come down to improve the engine himself, and then he told us that what he had asked us to do before was That engine is just for you to learn...
Damn...
Anyway, we went from being young teenagers to having our kids admitted to university.
Our hair turned into shiny scalps.
Our collagen-filled faces turned into wrinkled middle-aged faces. We
turned from young and graceful people into 50-year-old men with stubble on their faces.
Star Game dedicated my entire youth.
We studied here, grew up again here, and started a family here.
I left again and again, but I always came back with reluctance.
Even though I am now away from home and have become a prostitute, I was the project planner of the game, but every time I woke up at midnight, I would still think of that unfinished dream.
Now, we have finally succeeded.
We have brought a second home besides Earth to global players.
This is definitely a super game that is destined to go down in history !
This is not a game, it is a virtual second home!
It is not just the gamers who are so excited that they are in tears.
Qin Lu, who has entered middle age and is still single despite being a big star, learned the news while participating in the recording of a variety show. .
She cried so hard that she couldn't stop, and finally had to interrupt the program recording.
It was difficult for her.
Music is also part of the game.
Chen Feng wanted to give people the strongest sense of substitution and the best gaming experience.
He wanted to make himself What he wants to express is conveyed through the game bit by bit.
He wants to give people some spiritual hints, penetrate a little spiritual power, and then inspire people and stimulate the players' desire to fight in real life.
At the same time, he also A large amount of professional knowledge and educational training content is also included in it.
As long as you want, a primary school student can play the game and become an undergraduate student of various majors.
Some undergraduate students of theoretical majors can even "study" to become a postdoctoral student! The
time used is even shorter than the study time in the real world.
He personally experienced it, and also brought in the simulated classroom that the Miejue-shi Tai version of "Teacher Ou Qinglan" had brought him to play, and combined it with the ideas in the real world, with a full reward mechanism.
His second world was born in the
In order to make those who love fun willing to complete boring and painful studies and further education in the second world , In order to make people actively become better versions of themselves, you have to fully mobilize their sense of involvement and emotions.
Therefore, Chen Feng's requirements for the soundtrack are extremely demanding.
In recent years, Zhong Lei, Lu Wei, Katy Swift and many other Grammy Award and Chinese Music Art Peak Achievement Award winners have worked with him. They also came and went in the accompaniment music arrangement group of "The Crisis of the Compound Eye". Some
of them pursued art, some wanted to please Chen Feng, and many more wanted to get a generous reward. They have their "
missions
" and Chen Feng doesn't want them to focus too much on them.
In addition, Chen Feng himself has also moved a lot of classic songs into the song.
But some important themes Someone has to sing the melody and background music.
Most of this task was given to Qin Lu, a tool.
Qin Lu has a unique rock voice and is very good at rendering a rich mezzo-soprano. After intensive training, she has also improved greatly in other aspects.
Progress is a good thing , but she was always caught by the boss as a tool.
In recent years, Qin Lu has recorded at least 400 songs for "The Crisis of the Compound Eyes", but as long as the game is not released, no song can be released
. Life is really hard.
Being associated with Chen Feng allowed her, a person who was originally unknown in history and had wasted her talent, to be reborn, but the efforts she made for this were also beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
