The popularity of "The Cultivator" exceeded everyone's expectations.
It seemed like overnight, everyone in real life and on the Internet knew about the existence of this fantasy film.
“It’s so beautiful, the visuals are stunning!”
"The screenwriter has such a big imagination. How did he manage to blend the fairy tale with reality? I have been questioning my life since I finished watching it."
"I even wonder if we really had an era of immortal heroes, but it's only because our faith has dried up that we've become what we are now."
"Ahhh, I can't get over it. After watching it, I couldn't help but say to my dog at home that I am willing to believe in it."
"Is the Fairy Palace really a real-life scene? Oh my god, is that really a palace that can appear in reality? I heard that the filming location has not been demolished yet, I want to see it! I can buy a ticket!!!"
"How did they make every character so flesh and blood? Even the bad guys are so normal. Wow, it turns out that fairy tales are so good. I love fairy tales!"
"I don't have many words to praise it, I can only keep saying it's so beautiful, so beautiful, so beautiful!!"
After only three days of release, fan works of "The Cultivator" have already started to fly all over the place.
In several groups that Sheng Quan joined, emoticons of various characters in "The Cultivator" have been spreading rapidly.
Who can refuse small money? (Kuke Zhenren threw himself on a pile of gold and silver jewelry with an intoxicated look on his face)

You can't imagine the joy of going to work.jpg (The head of Miao Sect is shown with a sad face, carrying a brick [Spirit Stone] taller than a person) Not only did Mr. Sheng happily join in, he also made two emoticons on his own and posted them, then looked at his friends in the group stealing pictures with satisfaction.
During the internal preview, she thought these scenes were suitable for making emoticons, hahahahahaha.
It's not just fan art and emoticons. In just three days, netizens are already obsessed with the couple.
I always feel like anyone can be a good match with anyone, be it fellow students, old enemies, someone they just met once, or even a pair of characters who have never met in a movie.
Even Hua Meijun, who only appeared in the dialogue and died thousands of years ago, has directly become the best main force in this fan trend.
Sheng Quan never underestimates the destructive power of fan works. The appearance of a large number of fan works for a work not only proves that it is enough for many people to devote their love and creativity, but also proves that its "characters" have completely "come alive" in the eyes of everyone.
The spontaneous creation of fan works by fan authors is continuously expanding the audience circle of "The Cultivator" like a snowball. Without even putting in much effort in promotion, "The Cultivator" has easily stood on the stage of winner.
Starting from the second day, the single-day box office has been ranked first.
Mr. Fang and his team were almost going crazy with joy. In fact, although everyone was prepared for the performance of "The Cultivator" before the film was released, it would be a lie to say that they were not worried at all.
There is one disadvantage of "The Cultivator", which is that its cost is too high.
As the largest investor, Shengquan has invested 310 million yuan in scattered investments, and the total investment of the others has exceeded 90 million yuan.
That’s four hundred million.
That’s all real money!
The point is, although labor costs in the entertainment industry are either extremely expensive or extremely cheap, "The Cultivator" did not actually employ too many famous actors, so all the money was truly spent on filming.
The audience said that it was as if they had seen a real world of immortals and heroes, which is absolutely true, because "The Cultivator" is really serious.
Except for Sheng Quan, other investors feel a toothache every time they see the financial statements. Many times, they have a feeling of "Am I on a pirate ship?"
There are movies in the entertainment industry that cost hundreds of millions of dollars, but the money is mainly spent on well-known actors, which is equivalent to spending money to buy a large number of fans and audiences.
However, "The Cultivator" basically spent all its money on the production itself. To other investors who are used to "spending money to buy audiences", this is simply walking a tightrope on the edge of a cliff.
But since the investment has been made, we can only grit our teeth and move on.
But occasionally, these people would half-seriously and half-jokingly talk to Sheng Quan: "Real-location shooting costs so much money. The airfare alone is a huge expense. If we shoot behind a green screen and then find a company to do the special effects, the audience won't care."
"The props don't need to be made so elaborate. When the time comes, add some filters and it will still look like the real thing."
"You don't have to make all the clothes custom-made, do you? The leading actors need them, of course. I mean the extras. They have hundreds of sets of clothes that are all custom-made. When they are on camera, they are just background boards. Who will watch them?"
Of course Sheng Quan pretended not to hear anything.
The other investors were devastated.
In their eyes, Sheng Quan was just a spendthrift rich second-generation who had too much money to waste and had never experienced the hardships of life!
To invest 400 million yuan and avoid losses, you need at least 1.2 billion yuan.
1.2 billion, is that something they can get just because they want it?! Even if the movie is a hit, it still has a lot of box office pressure, so they work so hard to try to increase the profit.
Don't invest a large sum of money and only make a little profit, otherwise it will be a huge loss.
Then, the box office of "The Cultivator" reached an astonishing 170 million on the first day, and then continued to climb.
Now, three days have passed and the box office has exceeded 900 million yuan.
Other investors: “…”
At every dinner party that followed, when Sheng Quan told the waiter that he wanted a drink, three people said, "I also want to drink a drink to stay healthy."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the box office of "The Cultivator" is expanding rapidly as its popularity rises.
Moreover, those places that they once questioned as "meaningless spending" were also opened up by the audience who were excited after watching the movie.
Everyone found them one by one.
"The costumes are so exquisite. Even the gatekeepers have beautiful clothes."
"I can't say what's so good about it, but every shot is so perfect. I want to watch it a fourth time after watching it a third time."
"It's so sincere. Those mountains, trees, and grass are all real scenes. They are so comfortable to look at!! Wow, I have already recommended it to everyone around me. Cultivators, go, go, go!"
It turns out that the audience has aesthetic taste.
Every meticulous effort put into the production of "The Cultivator" has been fully rewarded by the audience.
It's only been three days since the film was released, and already a large number of viewers on the Internet are clamoring to spend money.
【Please release the peripherals! I want to buy, buy, buy! 】
[When will the Fairy Palace open? My wallet can’t wait]
[The monsters that appeared were so handsome!! Especially Qiongqi, he was so handsome that it touched my heart. I want to make a life-size peripheral! I will definitely buy it!!!]
Other investors: “…”
Sheng Quan had gone against all odds and customized the peripheral products in advance.
Because a batch of peripheral products were priced too high, no one followed suit.
And now, when the popularity is at its highest and the audience is most passionate, Shengquan has a large number of exquisite peripherals.
Then calculate the surrounding cost price and selling price...
Mr. Fang was the first to speak: "Haha, young man."
"Young people really understand young people. If we were a few years younger, we would definitely customize it as well."
The others responded: "Isn't it?"
“In fact, I wanted to invest with Mr. Sheng at that time, but the funds were not enough.”
Everyone was talking and laughing, as if nothing had happened.
The author said: I found a very good reading website: Tuoluoge Address: TUＯＬUOG.COM and then at the next party.
Everyone expressed their desire to go to the teahouse. Director Sheng didn't like drinking parties, so they didn't drink. They didn't really like drinking either.
What? To please Mr. Sheng?
No way!
Just keep in good health!
