Chapter 31 Publicity

What Chen Yuanguang said is true to a certain extent. Time travel can be seen as an overly clear dream, and "Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur" is indeed adapted based on the pictures in his mind.

No one in the audience or the host here knows the true meaning behind it. They think that Chen Yuanguang is the kind of person with a very big brain, and dreams are his source of inspiration.

“We noticed during the early promotion of the movie that the senior brother had the title of special consultant in it. We were very curious about what specific work this title needed to do during the filming of the movie? "The host continued to ask.

Lin Jia helped Chen Yuanguang negotiate for the role of assistant director. Later Chen Yuanguang refused, thinking that he did not have the energy to do the job of assistant director, so he only wanted the title of special consultant.

He feels that the special consultant is more suitable for the work he actually does: "The most important job is to describe the world I dreamed about and accurately convey my understanding of the future world to the director."

Movie screening There were not many questions from the former host and the movie screening officially began.

Chen Yuanguang sat in the first row of the audience, sitting with the leader of Jiang University, that is, Dean Shu.

The School of Biology is a strong discipline of Jiangsu University, and Dean Shu is also a member of the school team.

As the movie was shown, he sighed: "Yuan Guang, I didn't expect you to have talent in this area.

I am very pleased that our School of Biology has talented people like you. "

In the night, Chen Yuanguang just replied: "Thank you, Dean. ”

Chen Yuanguang heard from classmates he is familiar with that because of his emergence this year, the scores of the School of Chemistry of Jiangnan University have slightly improved in many provinces.

More intuitive The data is that the number of freshmen applying to transfer out of the College of Chemical Engineering has dropped significantly this year.

This is due to the power of role models.

This is an intuitive benefit to the School of Chemistry. For the entire Jiangxi University, Chen Yuanguang is too young. His future is worth looking forward to. It is still unclear what page Chen Yuanguang will be on the list of future outstanding alumni.

“Brother, compared to the thrilling tricks in the movie, I am more curious about how you design the future world.

I have a general understanding of the future world from the details. This world It is a society that can be called a utopia, and it is different from the current mainstream science fiction works that predict the future.

Most of the current science fiction works believe that the future will be tragic, and even extended the concept of cyberpunk. I think the gap between the upper class and the lower class will become bigger and bigger in the future. How do you view the future?”

After the film screening, there was a question-and-answer session for the audience. Before the question-and-answer session, the students in the audience cheered for a while. Applause to express admiration for the movie.

Others shouted that it looks good.

It is precisely because the movie is so exciting that during the interview session after the screening, many people raised their hands and wanted to ask Chen Yuanguang questions.

Chen Yuanguang took the microphone from the host: "I think the future world I described is only material satisfaction. Considering the productivity at that time, these satisfactions are actually very basic.

After the explosion of productivity, the bottom class will not be able to survive simply because of the need for social stability.

And in the world I describe, the gap between the bottom class and the top class is getting wider and wider. This growing trend is not reflected too much.

In the movie, the murdered people can live in villas, but ordinary people can only live in affordable housing with an average of 40 square meters per person.

AI has taken over everything, and the opportunities for ordinary people have become extremely rare. The probability that they want to move from a 40-square-meter affordable house to a villa in a wealthy area is much smaller than in modern society. For the upper class, they can rely on hibernation technology to extend their lifespan, experience virtual reality technology, and use various technological means to enrich their life experience.

The technological treatment enjoyed by the lower class groups is similar to that of us. What I describe is not a utopia, but the despair hidden under the tranquility. "Chen Yuanguang explained.

In order to increase the conflict of the novel and lay the groundwork for the follow-up, Chen Yuanguang adopted the world operation logic described by Samad.

Chen Yuanguang saw that the classmate who asked the question had already sat down, and the classmate in charge of the activity had taken away the microphone. He thought for a while and added a few words:

"For humans before the industrial revolution, there was food to eat, Having clothes to wear is already a rare event. For most people in modern society, will they be satisfied with this?

Obviously not, people in the future will not be satisfied with these basic needs either. But because the basic needs have been met and they have no motivation to change the status quo, I would say it is despair hidden under the calm."

"Yuanguang, the news from Goose Factory is, On the first day, the box office exceeded 100 million yuan, reaching 120 million yuan. "The box office bucked the trend and rose on the second day, reaching 150 million yuan."

The Goose Factory synchronizes the latest box office data to Lin Jia around one o'clock every morning, and Lin Jia tells Chen Yuanguang the next morning.

Chen Yuanguang was very happy on the first day. The box office on the first day alone proved that their investment would not be a loss. You must know that 6 million yuan of the 8 million yuan was his investment.

After the numbers came out the next day, Chen Yuanguang said while eating breakfast: "It seems that the movie is a big hit, and the trend is towards 2 billion."

Lin Jia quickly replied: "More than that, rising against the trend is a very good symbol. You must know that yesterday was Sunday and today is Monday.

This proves that the marketing is effective and the quality of the movie itself is good enough. At least 2 billion in revenue.


We invested 8 million. The total investment for this movie is about 80 million. If the box office is calculated as a minimum of 2 billion, the total revenue is 600 to 700 million. Our income is between 60 million and 70 million.

After deducting 20% ​​of the income tax, the final income will fall in the range of 50 million to 55 million.

If you had listened to me and registered a film and television investment company in Horgos, your personal income tax would have been completely exempted.

Even for a personal studio, the tax rate is only 0.5%, why bother paying a 20% personal tax now. ”

Lin Jia became angry when he thought that Chen Yuanguang refused to listen to him and did not go to Horgos to register a personal studio.

She thought to herself, what's the point of being a germaphobe? So many celebrity directors use this method to avoid taxes. Every year, Horgos's name can be seen on the company name at the top of the movie ticket.

Everyone does this, it’s okay, no one will care about you.

Chen Yuanguang felt that it was unnecessary. This little money was nothing, and there was no need to give others an excuse for this matter.

Through future history, he realized that many times it is most important that you have no weaknesses. Only by living without weaknesses can you survive to the end.

“It feels a little too easy to achieve the goal of financial freedom.” Chen Yuanguang sighed.

Lin Jia complained: "Ten million is already the goal of wealth and freedom for many people, and you just gave up so easily."
