In less than 50 minutes, the Star You project raised more than 5 million Korean won (approximately 28,000). In less than 14.5 hours, Star You successfully raised 30 million (approximately 169,000), and the cumulative number of participants exceeded 20,000.

5 million is the minimum goal for the Tumblbug website to raise funds, and 30 million is almost the median amount of funds raised for the Tumblbug website project. In other words, you completed a small goal in 50 minutes and completed a lot in less than 14.5 hours.

The project takes 1 month or even 2 months to complete.

The most important thing is that the instant payment operation mode launched by companion star you means that project sponsors can already calculate the payment collection time with their fingers.

Outsiders watch the fun, while insiders watch the door.

As Xingyou and Tumblbug become popular on SNS, more and more practitioners related to art and design are turning their attention to Tumblbug.

Tumblbug was founded one year and four months ago. Before the emergence of the Lezhin ic project, the highest crowdfunding amount was only 100 million, and the current Lezhin ic is only 300 million, which is far less than its predecessor on the other side of the Pacific - Kickstarter.<

/p>

This is not to say that Li Yongjun and the other three encourage the project sponsors to increase the amount of crowdfunding arbitrarily and do stupid things like fishing, but they are looking forward to the emergence of crowdfunding projects like movies.

It is reasonable for an excellent movie to crowdfund hundreds of millions to several billions!

And now, it's really here.

Less than half an hour after Tumblbug’s battle report was sent out, the phone at Tumblbug’s customer service department started ringing one after another.

Han Zidong and Liu Chengcan, who were far away in Yushuidong, also received several movie outlines.

In the studio, Liu Chengcan transformed into a ruthless tool man and read an outline of the movie's script to Han Zidong.

"This is too rough." After reading the outline of the script, before Han Zidong could comment, Liu Chengcan couldn't help complaining: "Such a rough outline must have been written now."

"For a movie with this kind of theme, if we really wait until the script is finished before trying to attract investment, it will probably take a few years. Besides, people don't know much about you, so shouldn't it be appropriate to keep a more detailed script?"

Han Zidong finished drawing the speech bubble in his hand and then began to reply to Liu Chengcan.

"Movie crowdfunding is not a new thing. Not to mention your American counterparts, in South Korea, this year's comic book movie "26 Years" is the first movie to be crowdfunded by the audience. It seems to have just been completed two days ago."

"Is this happening?"

Liu Chengcan took out his mobile phone and searched, and sure enough, there was news about the completion of this movie.

"26 Years" is the work of comic book writer Jiang Cao. The plot involves Gwangju and the commander-in-chief of the whole country. The subject matter is quite sensitive, and investors have repeatedly withdrawn their funding. In the end, they had to crowdfund part of the filming funds from the audience.

"It's true, Dafa, do you have a doppelganger? In addition to drawing comics and writing plans, you can still maintain news sensitivity." Liu Chengcan couldn't help but sigh.

Of course, you have to be sensitive. Film and television is his second priority besides paid operation! Han Zidong thought so.

Thinking of the core question, Liu Chengcan asked: "Can this movie recover its cost?"

Han Zidong did not answer directly, but asked: "The movie is expected to be released at the end of the year, will you go see it then?"

"Of course." Liu Chengcan, an enthusiastic young man, adjusted his sleeves: "No matter who scolds the past military government, I, Liu Chengcan, must help."

Han Zidong nodded, probably because of the support of Liu Chengcan, the film performed well after its release.

"26 Years" has won the single-day box office championship for many days since its release, beating the local films "My PS Partner", "Wolf Boy" and the overseas film "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (Part 2)" in the same period.

, "The Guardians" passed the revenue line in less than 13 days after its release.

He also spent money to watch this film, but he can only say that it is not even satisfactory. There are huge problems in the depth of the plot and the rhythm of the narrative. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it was to pass the review.

But this also shows that as long as the film has enough gimmicks and the subject matter is eye-catching enough, recovering the investment cost is not a problem.

"By the way, the name of the movie you read before..."

""Ghost Town"! The theme of comfort women."

Han Zidong slid on the swivel chair, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and stared blankly at Liu Chengcan, who asked belatedly: "Are you optimistic about this movie?"

You're asking me about a masterpiece that defeated "Deadpool", "Zootopia", "London Has Fallen" and many other films, and has held the box office single-day champion for more than ten consecutive days.

You're still asking me about this awesome movie that has been watched by 3.5 million people in less than a month after its release.

Han Zidong doesn't know the specific rate of return for "Ghost Country", but its rate of return is absolutely impossible to be less than twice. Taking into account overseas box office, copyright fees and DVD distribution income, it can't even be tripled.

In the original timeline, the producers of "Ghost Town" worked hard for 14 years, and finally released "Ghost Town" to the public in 2016 with the help of crowdfunding from the audience.

"Don't rush to give the other party the right words. Let the producer organize the project document first, at least so that the sponsor can see the tears."

"Tears?"

"Yes, tears. And please give me the contact information of this producer, and I will help him."

Liu Chengcan was completely dizzy, and without thinking much, he handed over the number of "Ghost Town" producer Zhao Zhenglai to Han Zidong.

Han Zidong slowly withdrew his gaze and then said: "By the way, I don't like the one you just read, so here's the next one."

Liu Chengcan held his notebook and continued to read the outline of the script softly: "This film is called "Another Promise" and is based on the incident of a Samsung semiconductor factory employee suffering from cancer..."

What is going on today? With so many popular independent films coming to our doorstep, Han Zidong lamented his luck.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

However, he felt relieved when he thought that because of their subject matter, these independent films had to go through years of crowdfunding in the original timeline to raise the funds for filming. This wave of success is just the right time.

The preparation period for "26 Years" was five years, and the preparation period for "Ghost Country" was 14 years. "Another Promise" was released in 2014, which means that its preparation period was at least two years. Considering that the Samsung Semiconductor incident started in 2007

, the preparation period will also take several more years.

He has never seen this movie, but has only heard that in 2018, the proud Samsung bowed its head and admitted its mistake, promising to gradually implement compensation for all workers suffering from cancer in the next ten years.

"Brother Chengcan, you said that if there are many obstacles to something, we may not be able to get the expected rewards afterwards. Do we still need to do it?"

No matter how stupid Liu Chengcan is, he can still guess that Han Zidong is asking about the movie in his hand.

Unlike the national pain of comfort women, "Another Promise" targets the theme of occupational diseases, and it is also a giant like Samsung. It is expected that future releases will encounter more or less minor problems.

Should a film destined to be difficult and with poor earnings expectations be sponsored?

In the eyes of others, maybe he shouldn't, but who makes him a passionate young man!

"It's necessary. If we don't do it, then who else is willing to do it. In addition to making outstanding achievements, Tumblbug also has the responsibility of helping artists realize their dreams."

"I can't tell that Brother Cheng Can also has a heroic spirit!"
