In the previous chapter, 'sixty million' has been changed to 'six million'.

I said I didn't miscalculate, I just made a mistake with a slip of my hand, did anyone believe me?

……

The first day of sales of 800,000 copies of "Demon Hunting Notes" is a big gap compared to the 6 million sets that will recover their costs.

It seems that if you maintain such sales results every day, you can achieve the goal in a week, but everyone knows that the speed of online sales of works cannot be a straight line.

Of course, it's not really that there is no chance at all, if the follow-up trend is better, it is not possible to complete the goal and even make a profit.

But no matter whether he made money or lost money in the end, for Fan Zhe, he actually didn't think it mattered much.

In the final analysis, there are three words: you can afford to lose.

Wedo Entertainment has made a lot of money over the years.

In the past, there were tens of billions of global sales of "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2", and in the back, the domestic box office of "War" was 3.5 billion yuan and the global box office was 650 million US dollars.

Not to mention, the latter "Demacia: Glory", a single film is expected to have a global box office of more than 10 billion, and the revenue in the hands of Wedo Entertainment will exceed 3 billion.

With such a huge amount of income, even if "Demon Hunting Notes" loses all 300 million, how can it make Wedo Entertainment? It's just a small wound.

Not to mention, no matter how miserable the loss is, it is impossible to lose it all.

Further, if you count the money returned by 'Dimension Technology', excluding the estimation of the work value of the 'Dimension' system, only based on the development cost paid by Dimension Entertainment itself, there is no need to sell 6 million sets at all, and it is estimated that 1.5 million sets will return to the cost.

Miller's worries are not necessary here at all.

He doesn't worry about losing money.

In fact, such a large investment in the animation work "Demon Hunting Notes", and in the production, from the production level of excellence, in terms of style, not too much consideration of commercialization, public acceptance, the style selected, the story seems to be very avant-garde, at least there is no work on the market at all.

In this case, the results are not so hot, which is actually a conceivable thing.

Fan Zhe is more worried that under this achievement that is not so popular, is it because the animation works produced by his own company are actually not so good?

His mentality is obvious, after becoming rich, he began to seek fame rather than profit.

However, after he watched all the finished films, he basically let go of half of his heart - it's still very good!

In addition to the story of the prologue of the first episode, the rest is basically a story that revolves around the growth of the protagonist Sue, fighting various monsters and enemies along the way, and gradually becoming stronger.

The world view is still like that, and the painting style has always maintained a constant inertia, and the battle picture is the part that Dimension Entertainment is very good at, and it maintains an excellent level.

What else is there to worry about?

Anyway, Fan Zhe himself gave it an evaluation: This is a good work.

And the other half of the heart also let go after seeing the word-of-mouth of the work.

Douban has a score of 8.8, which is also a relatively high score among the works of Wedo Entertainment.

Aside from the single platform of Douban, in Weibo, official account, Zhihu and other social media at different latitudes, the evaluation of "Demon Hunting Notes" is also quite good, there are many people who praise it, and those who criticize it basically don't say that this is a bad work, but I think it's too niche, and Dimension Entertainment is laughing at itself or something.

Fan Zhe doesn't care about this kind of evaluation.

……

Stretch it out a little longer, and November will come and you'll be in December.

The box office of "Demacia: Glory" fulfilled all the expectations of people in advance.

The global box office officially reached $1.7 billion, and "Glory" became the fifth highest-grossing film in global film history, as expected. Converted to RMB, this is a box office of 11.4 billion.

All the previous judgments on the results of "Glory" were just estimates, but now, when these have become a reality, there has once again been a nationwide discussion about "Demacia: Glory".

This can be said to be the afterglow of public opinion in the previous "Glory", and it can also be said to be the climax of a new round.

And at about the same time, "Demon Hunting Notes" has been online for three weeks so far.

After selling 800,000 units on the first day, in the second week, when the second episode was updated, it once again ushered in a sales climax.

After all, when it was first launched, the content of the first episode was still free for members. Now the membership growth rate of the Dimension platform has slowed down a lot, and their current paid membership scale has reached 25 million - if this number of annual fee members is maintained, the income from this membership fee alone will be about 500 million per year.

This is the core user plate of the 'Dimension Platform'. These users are the visual products produced by Wedo Entertainment, and they are more die-hard supporters.

Many of them have paid attention to "Demon Hunting Notes", but the first episode is free for them to watch, so many people will naturally choose to watch the first episode first to see what kind of orange the work is, and then decide whether to buy the full episode.

Indeed, "Demon Hunting Notes" is not so popular due to its subject matter and style. But after all, the quality of the production is here, and although people who don't like it will not feel it at all, and even feel a little uncomfortable because of the blood and the worldview, those who like it will like it very much, and even regard it as a masterpiece.

As a result, in the case of tepid sales on the first day, the sales situation in the back was relatively stable.

After the first week, total sales came to 1.3 million units; When the second episode was launched, it ushered in a new small climax, selling 700,000 units that day, and then by the end of the entire second week, the total sales reached 2.4 million units. And now, at the beginning of December, at the end of the third week, the total sales have come to 3.1 million.

If this trend continues, and the overall sales situation is relatively stable, it is not possible to ...... "Demon Hunting Notes" can really sell 6 million units and achieve the sales target.

What's more, its global screening copyright operation is also relatively good.

Thanks to the hard work of the subsidiaries of Wedo Group, which is in major markets around the world, it is broadcast in almost all major markets around the world.

In terms of various screening revenues around the world, Wedo Entertainment will probably be able to recover nearly 100 million yuan. Especially in the European and American markets, "Demon Hunting Notes" is more popular than any animation work of Dimension Entertainment in the past. Even some pay TV stations in Europe and the United States have chosen to buy the broadcast rights of this CG animation at a fairly good price, and unexpectedly obtained quite good ratings.

This also adds weight to the gain of "Demon Hunting Notes" in the European and American markets, including the global market.

Counting the current sales of more than 3 million sets in China, the total revenue created by "Demon Hunting Notes" has reached more than 200 million, which is not very far from the cost line of 300 million.

After Fan Zhe received the relevant financial report as the boss, he quickly transferred it to Mi Le, the head of the animation department.

After seeing these data, Miller's depressed mood during this period of time has improved slightly.

At the beginning of this year, Wedo Entertainment spun off the animation department, and she became the leader of the animation department.

After the independence of the animation department, they worked on two works. The animated version of "Hell Apartment" is still relatively cheap and simple, and the positioning of its own work is also free of charge for members, as a supplement to the member content of the dimension platform.

In contrast, a work with a major investment like "Demon Hunting Notes" is definitely much stronger than "Hell Apartment" in terms of status and importance.

She still has a lot of hope for "Demon Hunting Notes".

The poor sales on the day of the launch did put a lot of pressure on her.

She once thought that the first loss-making work of Dimension Entertainment was about to come out of her own hands, and it was made under her own leadership after the animation department became independent.

Thankfully, that didn't happen.

But despite this, she also felt quite uncomfortable.

"Demon Hunting Notes" should not be a loss. According to the estimates given by the company's strategic development department, the sales of this animation on the Dimension platform should eventually reach 5 million units - although there are not 6 million, it can also recover about 200 million in revenue. Counting overseas copyright sales, there should still be a profit of about 20 million to 50 million yuan for the cost line of 300 million. Counting the surrounding copyrights, the company can still make a profit.

But think about it, which of the works that Wedo Entertainment has invested hundreds of millions of dollars to create has not set off a frenzy?

Even if "Demon Hunting Notes" is a small profit, I'm afraid it will be difficult to reach that point.

As for the word-of-mouth, it is quite good, and it has even been named a masterpiece by many people, and Fan Zhe, as the boss, is also very satisfied with the quality of the animation.

But so what?

Miller used to be a very unambitious person, but after all, he has sat in the current position of the head of the independent department, and he will eventually be prompted to have some enterprising spirit.

She was still a little annoyed.

However, it was a little dull to dull, but since the boss still gave her full support, she still felt that she couldn't break the jar.

In the animation department, we still have to come up with some justifiable performance.

So, at the end of the year, she came up with two plans in one go.

One is the fourth season of Amber Sword.

The "Amber" series can be regarded as the fist product of Wedo Entertainment in the animation industry. This series of animation, in the past few years, has been done for a total of three seasons, in the entire East Asia, whether in Chinese mainland or in Japan, a big animation country, "Amber" is the hottest and most outstanding animation of the period.

As a cash cow, this work will definitely continue to be developed.

The entire "Amber Sword" series has about six seasons planned, and the fourth season will be developed next.

According to the work schedule, the production of this work will be completed and launched in the summer of next year.

Pulling out this killer feature is a way to boost morale for Millet's animation department. They still have to reflect their own value and make a work that is profitable enough.

"Amber Sword" is one such work that is sure to make money.

And there is no doubt that when the project book for the fourth season of "Amber Sword" was handed over to the upper echelons of the company, it was approved very happily, and the funds and resources that should be beaten will be given according to the due specifications.

There's not much to say about that.

As for her second plan, it was a little stuck.

The work she is eyeing is also an online animation adaptation - "The Respect of the World".

The original work, when it was serialized at the time, was also a phenomenal work. The author loves diving squid, and through this book he has established himself as a platinum author.

As for the squid's work, Wedo Entertainment has already adapted one before, which is the popular TV series "Martial Arts Master" across the country.

But the adaptation of "The Respect of the World" still has certain difficulties in it.

One is that the amount of investment is not small.

Although it's a 2D animation, it's not a high-precision CG like "Demon Hunting Notes", but due to the fantasy theme, it still takes a certain amount of investment to do it well.

In addition, although the copyright of "The Respect of the World" was in the hands of Wedo Entertainment, when the company's copyright marketing department negotiated with Lewen Group, "The Respect of the World" was among the works that it bought.

However, there will be some problems in making an adaptation of this work.

In the original book, although most of the plots are original, including the sub-world crossing story with some infinite flow elements, it is also written by the author himself.

But there is one place that you can't get around - in , there are many unoriginal exercises mentioned. Some of these exercises come from Jin Yong, Gu Long or other people's martial arts, what is the eighteen palms of the dragon descending and the like, and some are from Hong Kong comics, such as the exercises derived from "The Legend of the Son of Heaven", Hun Tian Baojian.

These things are not original.

When making an anime adaptation, if you don't want to spoil the feeling of the original book, then these things still have to be kept. Although it is possible to change all the exercises that involve copyright issues, but in doing so, after missing these stalks, it will obviously reduce the effect of the work.

But if they are to be preserved, the copyright of these exercises is a problem.

If you don't want people to sue for losing a lot of money, these things must be dealt with in advance.

This matter will be handed over to the company's copyright department to discuss.
