Hello everyone, I am Chen, a screenwriter from Taiwan. The environment for professional screenwriters in Taiwan sucks, and I've always wanted to do something to improve it.

Recently I've turned a logline into 101 independent NFT cards with my dogs' pics, which I haven't seen anyone else do it so far.
This is a story about three dogs swapping souls with some serial killers. I hope one day I can sell this idea to Hollywood.

I was trying to make the script easier to enjoy, and use the properties of the blockchain to secure copyrights, this method also might help screenwriters find people who would love or even sponsor their story idea early in the development of their scripts, maybe get some fee that can maintain their livelihoods as a crowd-funding.

You don't have to buy them, but if you support this idea to make a better environment for screenwriters, please share this with more and more people, perhaps consider starting to make your own logline NFT as well. I hope that in the future, every scriptwriter can directly use the existing resources at hand to produce their own NFT!

If you see the potential of these NFTs and want to buy them, well, I definitely don't mind lol

After all, if one day the copyright is bought and made into a movie, this series of NFT may have room for value-added.

Thx for your time to read this, cheers and have a great day.

Love that premise tho! Creative!

Thank you very much! Are you interested too?

If there is anything I can do to help, I would be happy to do so.

NFTS are horrible for the environment, due to the amount of electricity required to run them. Plus, they're pretty stupid in general. You're essentially selling a receipt, rather than the actual work, if I understand NFTs correctly.

This is a very interesting viewpoint, and I look forward to more discussions it brings mate lol
I'm still learning as well

I must be getting old, because I still don't quite understand what NFTs are. I still use cash. I know how that works.

I don’t know nuthin about nfts. Was talking about your story.

However, I would like an explanation on exactly what an nft is and it’s purpose. I looked it up but just not grasping it.

hahaha! I'm not an expert either! Just learning as well.

Oh! So what you like is my LOGLINE, not my NFT idea! lol
Thank u a lot mate, hope someday I could sell it to Hollywood

NFT's are basically a digital certificate of ownership over a digital asset.

If you are an art collector, you hand over some money, you receive a physical piece of original art to hang on your wall and be admired by only you and your guests.

If you are a moron, you hand over some money, you receive* the NFT of the first-ever tweet posted by Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. You can't do anything with the tweet, and other people can still see it on twitter, but you just spent $2.9m to own it.
(Although, in the future some other moron might buy it off you for even MORE money)


*and by "receive" I mean you don't actually receive anything, the NFT and your ownership of it is just stored on a blockchain

I still look up when someone asks me if I’ve saved something to my cloud.

Haha. I liked that description that was going around a while ago:

Quoted Text imagine if you went up to the mona lisa and you were like "i'd like to own this" and someone nearby went "give me 65 million dollars and i'll burn down an unspecified amount of the amazon rainforest in order to give you this receipt of purchase" so you paid them and they went "here's your receipt, thank you for your purchase" and went to an unmarked supply closet in the back of the museum and posted a handmade label inside it behind the brooms that said "mona lisa currently owned by jacobgalapagos" so if anyone wants to know who owns it they'd have to find this specific closet in this specific hallway and look behind the correct brooms. and you went "can i take the mona lisa home now" and they went "oh god no are you stupid? you only bought the receipt that says you own it, you didn't actually buy the mona lisa itself, you can't take the real mona lisa you idiot. you CAN take this though." and gave you the replica print in a cardboard tube that's sold in the gift shop. also the person selling you the receipt of purchase has at no point in time ever owned the mona lisa. unfortunately, if this doesnt really make sense or seem like any logical person would be happy about this exchange, then you've understood it perfectly

Quoted from Heretic Haha. I liked that description that was going around a while ago:

Very good! Not seen that one

P.s I’m actually selling the NFT of my forum post above, bidding starts at £500 if you’re interested…

I read a similar article, still none the wiser.

William Shatner put an x-ray of his teeth up.  

I can't get my head around this with loglines either. Must be a dumb arse.

Just be careful chaps. I'm seeing a lot of NFT scams out there and hackers using them. Surprisingly, some are aimed specifically at screenwriters or people pretending to be producers using NFT's to raise money for movies that never get made.

Sounds like the NFT is essentially only worth the blockchain it’s on? So the blockchain has to be seen as valuable for it to have value, then I guess the question is, does the blockchain provide value?

Sounds like you’re buying into a new “banking” system, and it comes with the caveat that it someday you might not be able to get your money back because it will be worthless. Or I’m totally wrong.

Wow, a lotta ignorance in this thread, which I understand completely. It's a lot to get your head around. I've been involved for a few years now and although I have an understanding, we're all still babies with this technology. Back in the day, people couldn't understand the point of the internet.

I like the idea presented in this thread. I have already turned one of my XXX shorts into an NFT in the way of a book cover, that when bought unlocks a contract that binds me to provide a copy of the actual book to the buyer. I kept it on private as it was just an experiment to see if I could mint an NFT.

Even 0.1 ETH, which I can see you listed an image for before is way too high. 0.1 ETH at current prices is around $160, and I can see you listed an image before for 3.2. Your images are actually fine and might sell as NFTs, but if I were you, I'd switch to MATIC and charge far less. 0.1 MATIC is around 0.9c, or even less. Your aim should be recognition, not get rich quick - which will never work anyway.

Also, consider using Atomic Hub on the Hive blockchain. A very exciting place full of opportunity (the Hive chain, that is).

I can't go on Twitter  ow without some NFT account doing a live stream about why you should invest in NFT's now. Honestly, anyone trying so hard to get total strangers to invest in something is not doing it to make money for anyone but themselves.

Many NFTs can be earned for free, using the Play-to-Earn model. This is where you play a game to mint NFTs. As the NFTs can be used in-game, this gives them utility and therefore greater value to the community that play the game.

From Torum, I made $1700 completely for free - I simply had to interact on the message board. Gods Unchained is a card game, like Magic the Gathering, completely free to play and I have not only made over $1000 from their utility token, GODS, but I also have almost three thousand dollars worth of assets, in the form of NFTs. The NFTs are simply cards that you own. The cards can be worth a lot of money. I think the highest sale on Gods Unchained for a single NFT (playing card) was almost 20K.

Take a game like GTA. You can own an expensive apartment in-game, but it's actually worthless because you don't actually own it. With the new model, the apartment would be an NFT, that you own and can even sell to another player. Everything in-game is an NFT and you own it.

If you start buying NFTs with the intention of making money, you will probably lose.

The irony of somebody in this thread warning of  "NFT scams going around", when the very concept of NFT is a scam is just *chefs kiss*

With blockchain tech, we have the ability to own in-game assets in the form of NFTs - that can be bought and sold on various marketplaces. However, what blockchain games lack, with the exception of card games, is playability. They are essentially cryptocurrency miners. Click a few buttons and then sit back and wait before clicking a few more buttons. I'm playing one game right now that's earning me $5 per day (at current BTK price) for doing absolutely nothing aside from collecting and upgrading miners. It may not seem a lot, but for people in 3rd world countries, this is how they are making a living.

What the crypto gaming community have yearned for is playability. Games like GTA, but on a blockchain, where your efforts are rewarded instead of it all going to the devs.

Well, now two giants in the form of Gala Games (massive in web3) and Epic (Fortnite-fame) have teamed up to bring us Grit:



A blockchain-based Wild-West-themed battle royale where investment of your time will be rewarded. This is going to change the video game space forever. Not that I play them anymore. But, seriously, this may just get me back into playing.
