Chapter 67: IP Fever

Time rushed to the end of January of the following year.

The project for the second season of "Full Time Master" has long been completed and has been delivered to the Levan Group. According to Lewen's plan, the second season of "Full-time Master" will be officially launched during the Spring Festival.

In fact, the second season of "Full-time" is already considered a ticket jump. At that time, the contradiction between Lewen and the two producers before and after seriously delayed the second season, which should have been launched a long time ago, and had to make a special chapter to deal with the past.

But Fan Zhe is happy to see it come to fruition, without that, this project would not have anything to do with him.

At present, all the power of 'Dimension Entertainment' is focused on the animation production of the second season of "Special Events Task Force", which also makes the progress of this project fast.

Fan Zhe originally estimated that it would be good if the second season of "Task Force" could be completed in March, but it seems that it will not be long before the New Year.

So far, the sales of animation rights for the two seasons of "Task Force" have brought a total of 15 million revenue to "Dimension Entertainment".

Coupled with the production expenses gained from the production of "Full Time", the financial pressure on the entire company has been properly resolved.

With the agreement between 'Dimension Entertainment' and Station B and Penguin Video, they must complete the promotion and launch of the animation of the second season of "Special Events Task Force" before mid-March.

And by then, 'Dimension Entertainment' should have already started the production and negotiation of the third season.

The price obtained in the third season will definitely not be lower than that of the second season.

Wedo Entertainment has entered the right track of benign development, and the development speed is very fast.

Now the thing that Fan Zhe has to think about is about the development of the next work.

It's always bad to sit on the mountain and eat empty.

Now, 'Dimension Entertainment' is still quite rich.

After the delivery of "Full Time", the follow-up production fee of six million has also arrived, and the remaining one million will not be settled until the work is launched; The 3 million for the first part of "Task Force" has already arrived, and the 10 million for the second season has already been deposited into the account.

Counting the money that can be made in the third season of "Task Force" in the future, and the income from the special effects production project of "Shadow Wars" that may be won......

The cash flow of 'Wedo Entertainment' should be relatively healthy, at least the previous financial crisis has been properly resolved.

In the foreseeable future, at least half a year to a year, there should be no gap in the company's normal development and development projects.

When you have money in your hand, you have to think about how to spend it.

Fan Zhe already has a general idea - to buy copyrights.

Ever since the concept of 'IP' became popular, this thing has become completely popular.

A work, from novels to comics, animation, to film and television...... The development of full copyright can maximize the commercial value of a series.

Globally, the most successful play of this thing is Marvel's superheroes. Since "Iron Man" in 2008, to now, the total box office of Marvel's superhero movies has exceeded 14 billion US dollars, and counting a large number of peripheral developments, the commercial value of superheroes is incalculable.

For the time being, Fan Zhe is not capable of playing that big, but he quite agrees that IP adaptation will become the main force in the creation of future entertainment products.

If you have money in your hand and buy a copyright, this thing should be reliable.

With the 'dimensional' system, Fan Zhe has the ability to put any work on the small screen or the big screen, the difference is only that the original work is suitable for adaptation? Is there any potential for adaptation?

The first thought in his head was to buy it from the Lewen Group.

Lewen Group is now the upstream of domestic content, with two major content platforms under its hands, 'Qidian' and 'Penguin Reading', and countless excellent novels.

In the past, Fan Zhe liked to read novels on 'Qidian', and he was no less fun with novels than games or movies. Even more time is spent reading novels than the latter two.

Especially after work, it's hard to take a whole chunk of time out at once to watch a movie or a game for an hour or two. Novels, which can be read and put down at any time, and can be read in fragmented time, are very suitable.

Fan Zhe often reads novels, and he can be regarded as a deep fan. In his impression, there are many very good works, and he likes them all.

At the beginning, when reading novels, he often couldn't help but look at some works with his professional eyes. He's an artist himself, so he often fantasizes about what some of the characters and monsters in the book would look like if they became serious pictures.

Sometimes he's not busy, so he draws some fanart, character design and the like, as his personal practice.

And now, with the 'dimension' system in hand, coupled with the 'dimension entertainment' he has established, although it has only been half a year, it has already shown some development strength. Then, it is no longer an extravagant hope to really make those works that you once liked very much into animation, TV series, and movies.

He called Kappa and made an inquiry for a few of the works he wanted.

He has prepared tens of millions of funds, and plans to buy a few works to enrich the copyright library of 'Dimension Entertainment'.

However, some of the offers made by the kappa poured a few basins of cold water on him.

"What? The film and television copyrights of "Martial Arts Grandmaster" and "The Respect of the World" cost 10 million each? Not full copyright yet? Kappa, we've been cooperating for more than half a year, why is the price like this! ”

"Don't complain." Kappa said, "That's the price." And, aren't you animators? Isn't it okay to buy animation copyrights? I have to ask for all copyrights. Just buy an animation copyright, I'm in charge, and sell two films for three million to you. ”

Fan Zhe sneered and said, "You treat me as stupid? After buying it, you make it into an animation, and then you follow behind without making any money? ”

It's a well-known thing that you don't make money doing animation. "Special Events Task Force" is not counted, look at "Full-time Master", the animation of the first season is like that, with nearly 100 million views, isn't it still barely recovering the cost?

The animation is on fire, and the other copyright development that follows is the big one.

Spend money to buy an animation copyright, and then make the animation popular, and watch Lewen pinch other copyrights and reap profits in the back?

Fan Zhecai doesn't do this kind of thing.

"Hehe...... Kappa laughed a little over there, and then said: "Otherwise, it's okay to go through the way of cooperation, you shoot things, we are responsible for publicizing and distributing things, and the proceeds will be calculated when the time comes." ”

"Wait until I think about it."
