Honkai Impact 3rd: Join Anti-Entropy at the start and dominate the entertainment industry.

Bai Qianqu's eyes suddenly lit up!

Yes, how come he didn't think of that?

With so many online video platforms now, you could easily release movies on them!

Not only are the review standards low and the process convenient and fast, but these platforms also charge much less fees!

Most importantly, those big-budget movies must first be shown in theaters for a period of time before they are released on online platforms.

This time difference is exactly what Bai Qianqu wants!

Bai Qianqu immediately made the decision: "We won't go into theaters! We'll go with online movies!"

Cao Dawei was quite surprised: "A web movie?!"

He knew, of course, that many low-budget films were released online and did indeed make some money.

However, compared to theatrical releases, online movies earn very little money.

After all, a movie ticket costs at least fifty yuan, while watching an online movie only costs five yuan, and members can even watch it for free.

You need at least ten people to watch your online movie to be as popular as a theatrical release.

So how much money can you make?

At most, it would only amount to tens of millions.

You know, in theaters, if the box office is good, several hundred million is nothing.

However, Cao Dawei did not have much objection to Bai Qianqu's decision.

He knows best about the current situation of their film.

Going to theaters is a near-certain failure; it's much more worthwhile to try your luck on online video platforms.

He even thought Bai Qianqu's decision was quite wise, as she didn't blindly insist on going to the movie theater.

Many newcomers to filmmaking think their movies are the best in the world and insist on showing off their skills in theaters, but 99% of them end up being disappointed.

Compared to this, Bai Qianqu's choice is still better!

Moreover, Bai Qianqu has now bought out the rights to the film, which means that he is now in charge of the film and is responsible for whether it makes a profit or a loss.

Cao Dawei naturally didn't have much of a psychological burden.

He nodded and said, "Indeed, the threshold for online movies is relatively low. If we apply now, and I use my connections, we can get approved and released next month!"

Even if Cao Dawei hadn't pulled any strings, "Crazy Stone" could have been released next month, which is only a difference of about ten days.

After all, "Crazy Stone" is nothing in the eyes of theatrical releases, but it is considered mid-range among online movies, given its investment of over three million yuan.

Chapter 349 Otto's Assistant

Many online movies have investments of only a few hundred thousand yuan.

Bai Qianqu nodded slightly: "In that case, it's settled then."

Bai Qianqu chose online movies not only because she didn't want to compete with big-budget films, but also for another reason—

He wanted to quickly gain fame through the online movie format!

He understood very well that since films without any production value couldn't get good screenings, he might as well choose a path that suited him better.

This is actually a very simple principle, but many people don't understand it.

Why do so many people always fail? Always lose? Always a loser?

It wasn't because he didn't work hard enough, but because he chose the wrong competition room from the start, competing against a group of opponents who were far stronger than him.

Everyone says you have to win at the starting line, but his opponent was born at the finish line.

How does this compare?

Is this something you can win just by working hard?

Bai Qianqu also plans to continue collaborating with Tianming on movies in the future. This first collaboration definitely can't fail. If it flops, then there's no point in even thinking about making a second movie.

Even if he had "The Godfather," "Joker," and "Kung Fu Hustle" in his hands, he couldn't make a movie like that by himself.

Therefore, it's better to choose a safer path.

Even if this movie doesn't make money in the end, as long as it doesn't fail, everything is fine.

The barrier to entry for online movies is low, which is great!

It is precisely because the threshold is low that most movies are not of very high quality, which is why "Crazy Stone" was able to stand out and attract the audience's attention!

Once he gains fame, he will have some experience in the film and television industry, and when he enters theatrical releases in the future, he will have a fan base and people will be willing to pay for tickets.

This is reality, and Bai Qianqu is helpless about it.

Soon, Cao Dawei and Bai Qianqu informed the entire crew that the film would be abandoned for theatrical release and instead become an online movie.

Xavier and Furnessa were the most disappointed.

As a new director, Xavier naturally still harbors a dream of theatrical release. He certainly hopes that the films he is involved in can be shown in theaters with great fanfare and enjoy the amazement of the audience.

However, he didn't say anything, after all, he still had some self-awareness.

A film with a budget of three million yuan will indeed be easily crushed when competing with a group of films with a budget of three hundred million yuan.

From a rational perspective, it is indeed inappropriate to blindly release these films in theaters.

Fu Ningna simply felt that it was very annoying that such a fun movie couldn't be shown in theaters, and she felt indignant on behalf of Bai Qianqu.

"These guys, as soon as they see there's no famous actor in the lead role, they act like this. Humph, I knew I should have arranged a major role for them. If my famous Fu Ningna had been in the lead role, the theaters would have been scrambling to give them the best slots."

"That's right, that's right." Everyone nodded perfunctorily.

"Since everyone agrees, then it's decided," Cao Dawei said loudly. He looked at Bai Qianqu and said, "There are two types of online movies: one is a buyout, and the other is a revenue-sharing model. Which one should we choose?"

"We'll split it," Bai Qianqu answered without hesitation.

Bai Qianqu would definitely not release the film rights she holds.

He understood the true value of this film and needed it to enhance his credentials.

Cao Dawei nodded in agreement: "Although many online movies choose the buyout model, since this at least ensures that they make some money, we are different. Choosing a revenue sharing model should be better. However, we still need to negotiate the specific revenue sharing price with several platforms. I am not familiar with the online movie industry, but I do have a recommended candidate."

"Who is it?" Bai Qianqu asked, puzzled.

"Ahem." Cao Dawei coughed twice, pulled Bai Qianqu aside, and whispered, "That person is Rita Losweiser, the secretary of our deputy general manager Bianca Durandal Kaslana. Her network of connections is many times larger than mine. You could say she has connections in anything related to film and television."

"But you need to be extra careful with this woman. Although she seems very amiable, she is actually very difficult to mess with. One piece of advice: never try to make a move on Durandal, or this woman will go crazy."

Cao Dawei looked shaken, clearly having learned his lesson from Rita.

Bai Qianqu:

He recalled a very elegant figure, much like the one at the door.

Wait, at the door?

At that moment, a beautiful young woman with short, gray-gold hair that covered her left eye and wine-red pupils stood gracefully at the doorway, her face full of smiles.

"Excuse me, is Teacher Bai here?"

Cao Dawei glanced at Bai Qianqu with schadenfreude, and Bai Qianqu stepped forward helplessly.

"I'm here."

"Hello, I am Bianca Durandal Kaslana's secretary. You can call me Rita. I am here to assist you on the instructions of President Otto."

"Assist me?" Bai Qianqu was slightly taken aback, but immediately understood.

Otto had obviously already guessed that he and Cao Dawei wanted to abandon theatrical releases and switch to online movies!

They even sent Rita, who was familiar with the online movie industry, to assist them in advance!

Thinking of this, Bai Qianqu couldn't help but grind her teeth.

It seems that Otto in this world is still the same as ever, cunning and unpredictable.

However, Bai Qianqu naturally accepted this help that came to her door.

He spoke briefly with Rita, explaining the current situation to her.

Rita nodded slightly.

"Okay, don't worry, leave this to Rita."

She looked up and subtly glanced at Bai Qianqu.

Rita was still somewhat curious about this unknown screenwriter.

Judging from Otto and Cao Dawei's performance, they clearly value this young man highly.

This piqued Rita's interest in him; after all, someone Otto brought up on his own initiative must be extraordinary.

Rita was even more surprised when she heard that Bai Qianqu had bought the movie with his own money.

Although Otto personally selected this film, most people within the company were not very optimistic about it.

Many believe that the reason Otto made this movie was because he wanted to please Karen.

Over the years, Otto has wasted too many resources on Karen, and everyone has become accustomed to it.

It's nothing more than Otto throwing money down the drain to win a smile from a beautiful woman.

Although it may sound a bit far-fetched, Otto has brought enormous benefits to the company in other areas as well.

Everyone just accepted it.

Tens of millions is nothing to Tianming (the author of the novel *Demium Brilliance*).

Chapter 350 520

However, because Bai Qianqu paid for it, the movie not only didn't lose money, but actually made a profit.

It's as if Bai Qianqu rushed over and spent Otto's money in vain.

What kind of magical situation is this?

Even the well-informed Rita felt that her CPU was overheating.

However, from the company's perspective, Rita is still very grateful to Bai Qianqu.

Therefore, upon hearing Bai Qianqu's request, she agreed without hesitation, wanting to use her own strength to help Bai Qianqu recoup some of her costs.
