Chapter 1022 Chain reaction under the influence of movie popularity

1022

Metal Gear Solid, Uncharted, Ready Player One.

The three films swept across multiple national cinemas in just one month.

Among them, the box office of the number one player is the highest. The final estimated box office of the other two films will hover around 500 million US dollars.

And Ready Player One is the most successful of the three films.

The box office exceeded 300 million U.S. dollars in the first week, and it is still making great strides in the future. It is estimated that it can get at least 800 million U.S. dollars at the box office.

Some people exclaimed that this is another successful attempt of director Jesse in a new genre.

Of course, there are also professionals who have begun to analyze the reasons for success.

They believe that there are two main reasons, one of which is the game easter eggs that specifically please players.

According to reliable statistics, the number one player has at least six hundred Easter eggs.

Half of them belonged to Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and the rest were easter eggs added by various copyright authorizations obtained by Jesse relying on his contacts.

Such a huge amount of easter eggs was not optimistic at first. People in the industry believed that this would dazzle the audience and make them confused about the priority of the movie.

But obviously professionals only analyze professional things, but audiences are unstable creatures that are difficult to predict.

So none of them expected how much impact these countless easter eggs would have on the players.

These game eggs not only did not dazzle these players, but also gave them a fresh sense of treasure hunting in the movie.

Or think of this movie as a game, a game of finding treasures of easter eggs.

The protagonist group in the movie is called Easter Egg Hunters, and the players watching the movie in the cinema are also another kind of Easter Egg Hunters.

Then the second factor for the success of this movie is naturally Jesse's own excellent director ability.

In his seventies, he has reached the pinnacle of shooting movies. No one dares to say that this kind of movie will be good if they let them make it.

But for Jesse, it is basically stable.

Recently, Tukarev can grin his mouth to the back of his head. Even if he looks at the enemy, he can greet the opponent with a smile on his face. Even if he is called crazy by the opponent, he will not get angry.

When a person makes money, his back is tough!

And not only earn money, but also earn a lot of fame.

Uncharted, Metal Gear Solid, Ready Player One.

These three films made his film and television company famous again.

Next, there will definitely be more work related to game adaptation movies.

Even if Zhu Youxing is cautious and doesn’t authorize adaptation easily, there are still a lot of well-known games from other game companies.

And most importantly, several entertainment giants that have nothing to do with games approached him and talked with him about big IP fusion movies.

The number one player reacted quite strongly on the Internet and among the player community.

It is really the first time for the audience to actively look for novelty and easter eggs in the movie.

Seeing that this movie can earn blood just by relying on crazy piles of Easter eggs, other entertainment giants naturally can't calm down.

They also have many IP gold mines, but most of the gold mines were independent before and rarely integrated, because they didn't take this thing seriously at the beginning.

But at this time, they suddenly realized that the fusion of countless well-known IPs can still play such a chemical role.

This kind of movie is actually equivalent to holding a big party for fans of their own IP cultural products. Anyone can find something they like in it, and this kind of thing is quite well discussed. People will spontaneously To actively seek out hidden pleasures in movies, and to have fun doing it.

The popularity of the number one player started from the release of the movie, and it has not completely stopped until the release of the movie. There are still a bunch of people who are frantically looking for easter eggs. In this way, the number of Easter eggs officially announced is not completely reliable.

And if you want to find those hidden easter eggs first, you have to go to the movie again, which once again contributed to the movie box office.

At least 100 million dollars in the box office of the number one player is earned by this group of guys who are frantically looking for Easter eggs to keep watching movies repeatedly.

However, this kind of movie also has its own disadvantages, that is, it is difficult to make a sequel.

Players will find it fresh to watch the easter egg gathering once, and it will be interesting to watch it twice, but it will not be interesting to watch something similar for the third time.

Generally speaking, this money is only enough to earn once or twice. If you want to earn more, the premise is that you have enough well-known IPs in your hands, and there is still a possibility of continued success.

But even if it is Zhu Youxing, he can only bring so much culture to the world, and making a number one player movie is over.

The popularity of the three movies will not only have an impact on the film and television industry.

In the next period of time, the sales of various types of games of Youxing Electronic Entertainment also found that the sales volume of various types of games has increased significantly compared to previous years.

Among them, Metal Gear Solid and Uncharted series games are the most sold.

There are still some older games like Metal Gear Solid. The physical versions of those games have long been discontinued, but they are still sold in second-hand stores.

In the past, the price of these physical cassettes was generally around ten dollars, but because of the popularity of the movie, the price of the physical second-hand cassettes of the first Metal Gear Solid increased by more than three times in an instant, and then slowly increased to an average of one cassette per box. The price is fifty or sixty dollars.

This is about the same price as the latest top 3A games.

And if these second-hand game cartridges are in good condition, even unopened cartridges, they can be sold at a higher price and become a collectible.

In addition to Metal Gear Solid and Uncharted Seas, the sales of other games have also generally increased slightly. This may be due to the influence of the number one player, or it may be due to the expansion of the player base.

This is good news. Since the global economic downturn, the player base has shrunk significantly.

This expansion has also reinvigorated many game companies' confidence, and began to consider increasing investment in game development to make better games.

As the biggest beneficiary, that is, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, they certainly cannot miss this opportunity.

In fact, they have already made sufficient preparations for this opportunity.

After the number one player was released and the popularity fermented for about a month, Youxing Electronic Entertainment announced the games it will release next. One of the games is the sequel to GTA, GTA5, and there is another one that has already been released. A game that has been developed in secret for a long time, and finally felt that the time is ripe: Cyberpunk 2077
