Chapter 475: Chapter 313: Music, Movies, Gas l
Ti rewinds back to the sumr of 2020 once again.
After selling a large number of songs once more, Harrison Clark repeated his old tricks and created Summit Studio and Summit Gas with even bigger investnts.
Although he changed his focus, Julia Lambert was able to manage Summit Ventures efficiently and orderly.
At that ti, Harrison’s businesses were under the protection of The Greens in the UK, with various goodwill gestures from large overseas capitals. Plus, the lists of key songs and talent scouting he handed over to Julia Lambert, Summit Ventures’ developnt went smoothly without elaboration.
In 2025, Summit Ventures, an entertainnt empire based in the UK and successfully opening up overseas markets, officially reached a market value of 10 billion US dollars.
In just five years and seven months, Harrison Clark built a Disney of the music industry from scratch.
But this was not the end. In the sa year, the Summit Studio, which was honed for five years, began to show its prominence.
The globally released movie Across the Starry Sky, directed by the famous Jas Diaz, premiered.
The film’s special effects, music, expression style, script, cast, production team lineup, and promotion marketing were all top-notch. It might not be unparalleled but certainly unprecedented.
Before 2025, high-budget, big-production movies were Hollywood’s specialty.
Was it that Chinese filmmakers didn’t have the money?
Not necessarily.
The investnt for several box office flops combined could catch up with a big Hollywood production.
So actually, Chinese film investors are quite wealthy, but they would rather burn money little by little and eventually waste it all, rather than daring and having the ability to try big productions.
Sotis they could muster up the energy for a big-budget production, but in the end, they found that how much money invested had no absolute direct correlation with whether the film was good or bad. So they simply give up and focus on creating more low-quality productions with social dia influencers, just to make so quick cash.
What China really lacks is not money, but people and teams who can spend money wisely, invest in the right places, and effectively turn money into market value.
Or, even if there are such individuals and teams, investors may lack confidence in them, and thus good projects die before they even start.
It needs soone like Harrison Clark to bring together the money that many investors cannot find a place for and create works that are worthy of the investnt.
When creating Across the Starry Sky, Harrison Clark had no such worries.
He was the chief screenwriter, the executive producer, and the investor.
He wouldn’t spend others’ money, only his own.
People found it hard to understand. Especially when he spent as much as 600 million US dollars in the early stage, everyone was shocked by the budget.
So thought he was crazy.
Even Jas Diaz, who was in charge of spending the money, was taken aback by the investnt. Did Harrison have money to burn?
“I believe in your script, our plan is perfect, but 300 million is enough. Are you not afraid of losses?”
In the docuntary of Across the Starry Sky, there’s a segnt where Harrison Clark cheerfully reassured everyone, “Don’t worry; your focus should be on producing it properly. I’m not aiming for profit, but we can’t make a shoddy film.”
In the end, Across the Starry Sky’s box office revenue exceeded 6 billion US dollars, breaking the 16-year-old historical record set by Jas Diaz himself in 2009 with Asuda.
This movie was outrageously good.
While others were astonished, Harrison Clark found this to be expected.
The sa Across the Starry Sky had already proven itself in multiple tilines in the past.
If the promotion could keep up, it wouldn’t flop.
If they could release it on May 25th, 2025, it would definitely be a big hit
Tilines naturally follow so rules.
Even if it did lose money, he wouldn’t be scared.
This ti, his production was of higher quality, the pacing was better, and the recreated script from his enhanced mory was impeccable.
He also replaced several extras from the previous version who had flawed performances and dragged the film down, striving for near-perfection.
Over 90% of the movie’s special effects were created by thousands of Summit Studio employees using a cutting-edge intelligent rendering engine that was nearly 80 years ahead of its ti.
The frightening aspect of this engine was that, after incorporating the Quantum Programming Concept, its artificial intelligence learning ability was terrifying, able to almost completely simulate real-world images into virtual landscapes.
To accommodate this engine, Harrison spent an astonishing amount of money renting the national Super Calculation Center’s computing power. He even brought over the recently completed Carbon Monolithic Chip prototype from the neighboring Summit Research Institute.
At first, Rainer opposed, saying the chip was unstable.
However, Harrison quickly countered by imrsing the chip in a virtually perfect insulating cooling liquid and adjusting the chip’s structure…
Well, the chip was now stable.
Rainer took the new design and cooling liquid formula provided by Harrison and left, muttering, “You said you’re not a genius, but you’ve already planned everything. This will speed up widespread usage by at least five years. You must be so kind of monster…”
According to the box office inco sharing principle, Across the Starry Sky brought Summit Ventures over 1.8 billion US dollars in net revenue from cinema screenings. Coupled with the subsequent internet streaming and peripheral expansion revenue, the film’s final revenue could reach more than 3 billion US dollars.
This was thanks to the success of the legitimate streaming/paynt systems implented by overseas platforms like Netflix and dostic platforms like the Internet and BBC since 2015..
