Windfall Profits, Lost in the Show
Qian Duoduo was filled with excitement, his mouth almost stretched to his ears.
With this trending topic, his "Duoduo Film and Television" and this batch of films and TV series are destined to become wildly popular. It's as if a surging tide of Energy Points is already appearing before our eyes.
He opened the comments section, where trending topics were being updated rapidly.
"Damn, I've been watching these shows too! They're so addictive, I can't stop watching. Watching them is like watching the protagonist's entire life."
"It's truly amazing. If TikTok hadn't labeled it as a film or television drama made by real people, I would have thought it was a true story."
"And many of these characters have real-life counterparts!"
The female lead in "After Being Rejected, I Trampled My Fiancé Under My Feet" is similar to Su Yuxuan, and the male lead in "After Being Expelled from My Sect at the Beginning, I Became the Number One in the World" resembles Liu Yi.
And isn't the male protagonist of "After I Became a Super Rich Man, I Topped the Combat Power Ranking by Spending Qian Duoduo" based on Qian Duoduo himself?
"Without a doubt, 'After I Became a Super Rich, I Topped the Combat Power Ranking by Spending Qian Duoduo ' is definitely based on Qian Duoduo."
The name ' Duoduo Film and Television ' clearly indicates that it's his business; the script might very well have been written by this unscrupulous businessman himself.
"Ah! Now that you mention it, it's true. Duoduo Film and Television, Duoduo Department Store, Duoduo Lending —they're all part of the Duoduo Group."
"It must be Qian Duoduo. Only a shrewd businessman like him could have single-handedly developed this entirely new industry of film and television dramas."
"This guy is ruthless. He filmed three hundred movies and TV series before releasing them, giving him a huge head start. It's now difficult for us to get involved."
"What matters in film and television is the quality of the script. As long as we produce a high-quality production, we can still break through the competition."
Besides, this is a new market segment; it's good enough if we can make any money at all. We should thank Qian Duoduo for paving the way.
Qian Duoduo nodded repeatedly upon seeing this comment, her face full of agreement, and she was secretly very pleased with herself.
"That's right, fellow Daoist is absolutely right!"
You should be thanking me for giving you another new way to make money.
Moreover, the film and television market is enormous; as long as you can make a good film or television series, you can still make a fortune.
After muttering to himself, he immediately opened the backend to check the data, and the numbers in front of him made his pupils shrink.
Three hundred films and television dramas were released online, and the total revenue in a short period of time has reached 7.2 billion Energy Points.
According to the 50/50 revenue split with the platform, "Duoduo Film and Television" will receive 3.6 billion yuan, and since he holds 50% of the shares in "Duoduo Film and Television", he can receive 1.8 billion Energy Points from this deal alone.
Although various costs such as filming, production, and actor salaries need to be deducted, the actual profit will be slightly lower.
But this is a real windfall, far more profitable than the businesses he currently runs.
Moreover, this is just the initial revenue; as word-of-mouth spreads and attracts more viewers, the income will continue to grow.
Qian Duoduo was overjoyed, calculating that with these Energy Points, she could have more time to use the Dao Comprehension Space to deduce her own Cultivation Method, comprehend the Great Dao, and improve her combat power.
But the joy that had just crept onto his face vanished in an instant, replaced by an undeniable bitterness.
He couldn't help but curse inwardly. Once a martial artist reached the Dao Body Realm and forged Great Dao Body, their combat power increased at an astonishing rate.
With powerful figures emerging one after another, even with his diligent cultivation, his ranking only barely moved up a little bit.
He could no longer maintain a position in the middle or upper ranks of the Combat Power Ranking, as he had before.
If this trend continues, it won't be long before he really falls off the Combat Power Ranking.
He must perfect his own unique Cultivation Method as soon as possible, otherwise he is very likely to be pushed off the Combat Power Ranking.
Seeing Qian Duoduo's constantly changing expression, Little Yellow's own expression turned serious, and he asked:
"What's wrong? Did our films and TV shows do poorly?"
That shouldn't be the case; the comments under the trending topics are all quite positive.
Qian Duoduo snapped out of her daze and said calmly, "I'm fine, I was just thinking about something else."
"The revenue from film and television dramas is very good. I just checked, and it has already generated 7.2 billion Energy Points."
"Wow, so many! It seems we've made the right choice. We can focus on film and television from now on." Little Yellow jumped up excitedly, its tail wagging incessantly.
Qian Duoduo nodded in agreement. "Yes, now we should have the screenwriters hurry up and finish the scripts, continue filming new dramas, and stabilize our market share."
"Let's film more movies and TV series before others enter the market and seize our market share."
He paused slightly, looked at Little Yellow beside him, and said helplessly:
"To date, your story, 'After Being Expelled from My Sect at the Start, I Became the Number One in the World,' has generated the most revenue."
Upon hearing this, Little Yellow was overjoyed. He stood up on his hind legs, put his two front paws on his hips, and burst into laughter:
"Hahaha! I'm still the best, I'm a genius!"
The City of Exile, the Fortress of the Shennong Sect.
This place is quite different from other forces' strongholds. Although it has a large number of palaces and buildings, it also retains a large area of spiritual fields.
Numerous disciples of the Shennong Sect were busy cultivating various Spirit Plant, such as spiritual rice, spiritual fruit trees, and spirit medicine.
At this moment, in a room at the Shennong Sect's headquarters, Shen Zhixia suddenly spoke:
"Master, senior brother, I saw a TV series on TikTok called ' I Am a Transcendent God Spirit Plant Master '."
The main character and the master are remarkably similar; both started as ordinary people and gradually rose to become top-tier Spirit Plant masters.
"Junior sister, what are TV dramas and movies?" Zhou Yu'an asked with a face full of curiosity.
Wen Ziqian also glanced at Shen Zhixia, equally curious about just how powerful the Spirit Plant master she mentioned was.
Seeing the two looking curious, Shen Zhixia smiled and explained, "Film and television dramas are similar to shadow puppetry and opera, but they are even more realistic and exciting."
Currently, ' Duoduo Film and Television ' on TikTok has uploaded 300 films and television dramas.
The book I mentioned, "I Am a Transcendent God Spirit Plant Master," is one of them. You can check it out; it's quite interesting.
"Really? I loved watching shadow puppet shows when I was a kid, but now there are even more exciting TV dramas. I want to see if they're really better than shadow puppet shows."
Zhou Yu'an's face was full of curiosity, and he immediately used his Divine Sense to enter TikTok to watch.
After a short while, he couldn't help but exclaim, "This is so interesting! It's a hundred times more exciting than shadow puppetry!"
If the system hadn't labeled it as a man-made film or television drama, I would have thought it was a real event.
Wen Ziqian also opened TikTok and started watching "I Am a Transcendent God Spirit Plant Master".
The protagonist in the drama is just like him, starting as an ordinary A Mortal and gradually climbing to the peak of the cultivation Immortal Realm by cultivating Spirit Plant.
His similar experiences made him feel very involved, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, his face full of smiles. He completely forgot that it was time to rest and that he should go to observe the Spirit Plant.
An hour later, Wen Ziqian finally came to his senses and realized that he had been so engrossed in reading "I Am a Transcendent God Spirit Plant Master" that he had completely forgotten about his original plan to check on the Spirit Plant.
Slightly embarrassed, he glanced at his two disciples, who were also engrossed in the TV series, and coughed lightly to bring them back to their senses.
"Alright, let's stop watching for now, we have important things to do. We can watch it slowly tonight when we have time."
Zhou Yu'an and Shen Zhixia then realized they had been late, smiled sheepishly, and respectfully replied:
"Yes, Master. This is the first time we've seen something so novel, and we're completely captivated."
"Okay, let's go."
Wen Ziqian stepped out of the room and headed towards the spirit field.
"Today we will carefully examine whether those spirit rice and spirit fruit trees have evolved the ability to absorb and store Innate Spiritual Qi Innate energy."
