Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 481 - 480: The First Person to Eat a Crab

Many film companies set their sights on holographic movies, and later Jiang Cheng introduced the holographic scanning camera.

These film companies became even more interested, as this camera was incredibly convenient.

Compared to the cameras they used before, it was advanced by an immeasurable degree.

When they first saw this filming equipment, many companies were tempted.

However, at the time, the market potential of holographic movies was not very evident, so these film companies didn't take any action.

Regarding matters related to holographic movies, these film companies maintained a calm attitude.

They weren't as anxious as the cinema companies that immediately rushed to Jiang Cheng to seek partnerships.

But when the news of cinema upgrades came, these companies couldn't stay calm anymore.

The cinema companies were all bustling with activity; how could the film companies not notice?

Film companies and cinema companies have a very close relationship; one is responsible for making movies, while the other is responsible for screening them, making their relationship inseparable.

Generally speaking, the film companies have good relationships with the higher-ups within cinema companies.

These relationships ensure that their films receive better screening conditions, thus achieving better box-office results.

Why can those big film companies dominate the market? It's because they have better relationships with cinema companies, which allows them to secure more screens.

Upon discovering their partners' actions, those film companies quickly came to their senses.

The actions of the cinema companies prompted film companies to accelerate their movements, each heading to Luo City to start negotiations with Cosmic Umbrella Company.

The reason for their previous hesitation largely stemmed from concerns over insufficient holographic movie theaters.

At that time, they worried about making holographic movies but having nowhere to screen them, rendering even the best holographic movies a waste.

So, the film companies weren't in a rush; they wanted to see how cinemas would develop.

The proof was in the 3D technology; when there were initially few 3D screens, very few film companies produced 3D films.

As the number of 3D screens grew, coupled with the box-office success of "Avatar," 3D movies began emerging one after another.

Later on, if a blockbuster wasn't shot in 3D, it seemed to lack prestige.

Now, it's essential for blockbusters to use 3D technology; otherwise, no one will watch them.

These film companies saw that cinemas were undergoing massive renovations, and many holographic movie theaters would soon appear.

This gave them significant confidence in holographic movies, prompting them to start making holographic films.

However, to make holographic movies, there was one thing they couldn't avoid: they didn't have the technology to shoot holographic movies.

The holographic scanning camera was unique to Jiang Cheng; without this machine, making a holographic movie was a joke.

Due to these reasons, Cosmic Umbrella Company quickly became surrounded by film companies.

Cosmic Umbrella Company once again found itself in a busy scenario. They had just finished dealing with cinema upgrades and were about to face a baptism from film companies.

However, the employees of Cosmic Umbrella had no complaints at all; being busy meant they had better performance.

The benefits Cosmic Umbrella Company offered were tied to performance, so the busier they were, the more bonuses they could receive.

Due to the forthcoming bonuses, these employees began to work tirelessly.

But the film companies faced an awkward situation; Jiang Cheng didn't seem to care about their partnership proposals.

Not only did Jiang Cheng not personally negotiate with them, but even Cosmic Umbrella CEO Zhang Manlin was somewhat indifferent towards them.

Although they didn't outright refuse to collaborate, they didn't seem very enthusiastic either.

Cosmic Umbrella's attitude left the film companies anxious.

Faced with fruitless negotiations, the bosses of these film companies couldn't sit still.

One by one, bosses issued ultimatums to their senior executives to quickly obtain the holographic filming technology.

At the very least, they needed to buy that entirely new filming machine from Cosmic Umbrella's hands.

Now the film companies were fully prepared for filming; scripts, directors, and actors were all ready. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Some blockbusters prepared for shooting were converted to holographic movies, and Marvel Cinematic Universe showed immense courage.

They announced that all the upcoming Avengers series films would be made with holographic technology.

This news had already been released, and film companies couldn't wait to start shooting.

Fans, after hearing the news, were incredibly excited, envisioning seeing their beloved superheroes in a holographic environment.

Such intense reactions made the film companies anxious, as everything was ready except for the technology provided by Jiang Cheng.

No matter how much other things are prepared, they are useless without the filming technology; what Jiang Cheng holds is the most crucial.

Yet, no matter how urgent they became, it was of no use, as Jiang Cheng had the final say in Cosmic Umbrella Company.

As long as he didn't agree to release the technology, there was nothing anyone could do.

Time passed slowly, and it was unclear what Jiang Cheng was thinking.

He neither agreed to the film companies' cooperation requests nor explicitly refused to collaborate, nor was he open to selling what he had, leaving the film companies in a bind.

The representatives sent to Cosmic Umbrella from the film companies were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Now whether it was giant Hollywood companies like Universal, Warner, Disney, Fox, or other small film companies, or the domestic film companies in Huaxia Country, none could obtain the technology from Jiang Cheng to make holographic movies.

Without Jiang Cheng's technology, films couldn't start production, especially for those Hollywood giants.

Many blockbusters within their companies were all prepared for filming; they were just waiting for Jiang Cheng's technology.

It's known that with such innovative things, those who produce them first always gain an advantage.

"Avatar" was the first to try using 3D technology, and as a result, it achieved astonishing global box office success.

That massive box office made everyone eager, hence the keen interest in holographic movies.

These film companies all want to be the first to make holographic movies and be the first to "eat crabs."

Moreover, it's not just about seizing an opportunity; it concerns the future development of film companies.
