Chapter 68: Fantasy of the Three Kingdoms
Talking about 'considering', in fact, Fan Zhe no longer thinks about buying those particularly hot IP copyrights with Lewen Group.
Even if you want to buy it, it's not now.
Even if you have the black technology of the 'dimensional' system, you must also consider the development law of the capital market, and it is easy to get an egg if you take too big a step.
After the last financial crisis, Fan Zhe had already pulled the egg once, and he didn't want to pull it again.
Of course, there are thousands of works under Qidian, some of which are popular, and some of which are niche, not very popular, but actually very distinctive, such as "Task Force" and "The 4.6 Billion Ensemble of Evolution".
According to his memory, he circled some works, and at the same time he also got a list of recommended books from Kappa.
These things are used as alternatives.
His eyes couldn't just be on the circle of online novels, and Fan Zhe soon remembered another work that was sealed in his memory.
It was a game called Fantasy Three Kingdoms.
Speaking of which, the "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" series, when domestic games could still be produced at the beginning of the century, was a better one. At that time, its reputation was slightly worse than that of the "Fairy Sword" series and "Xuanyuan Sword".
The "Fairy Sword" series is the vanguard of the first domestic game to be filmed and television, and several films have achieved relatively excellent results. Subsequently, the film and television of the "Xuanyuan Sword" series was also put on the agenda.
However, what Fan Zhe really watched from beginning to end was only the one played by Xianjianyi, Hu Ge and Liu Yifei.
He still has a certain impression of that work, although from the current point of view, it is a little average, but combined with the background of the times at that time, this is indeed a masterpiece.
Later, including Xuanyuan Sword...... Well, I haven't seen it, so I won't comment on it anymore.
But in any case, this kind of Xianxia story in the background of Chinese style has been verified by the market and is very potential.
The "Fantasy of the Three Kingdoms" series, just listen to the name, you will know that the background of the era is placed in the Three Kingdoms period, and at the same time, fairies, demons and demons are everywhere, and there are a large number of Xianxia elements.
This is a Three Kingdoms of Immortals and Demons.
For this series, Fan Zhe is very fond of it.
Of course, if this work is to be made, it is actually best to make it into a TV series, not an animation.
The current 'Dimension Entertainment' has not yet produced TV dramas, and lacks experience and channels in this area.
However, in the future, Fan Zhe will definitely hope to move towards the end of the entertainment industry such as dramas and movies. These two are the battlefields with the widest audience.
Taking the work "Fantasy of the Three Kingdoms" as an alternative, Fan Zhe found Tang Zhiqi.
"Xiao Tang, I have made a list here, you go to contact it, make an inquiry, see what we can buy, don't rush to make a decision, let's talk about the specific situation, focus on the work "Fantasy Three Kingdoms".
"Okay."
The task was handed over to Tang Zhiqi, and Fan Zhe didn't care about it for the time being.
His energy was put back into the project.
The second season of "Special Events Task Force" is in full swing.
In the case that the next family has already been settled, Fan Zhe hopes that this work can be produced as soon as possible, so as to start the production and negotiation of the third season.
According to the current trend, the second season is estimated to be completed in a month. The relevant propaganda work has been carried out in an orderly manner.
This is a warm-up, and the time when the publicity firepower is most concentrated should be the period after the year, that is, on the eve of the launch of the second season of the animation.
'Dimension Entertainment' is now slowly rolling out its own publicity channels, and Fan Zhe has also handed it over to Wu Jingtong to deal with this aspect.
This young man, after entering the company, immediately got busy, and the things at hand were one after another.
He is now not only starting to establish his own market channel for 'Dimension Entertainment', but at the same time, there are two very important things that are pressing on him.
The first is the peripheral commercial development of the work "Special Events Task Force".
This is an interest that cannot be ignored.
Animation has already made quite good results, and commercial peripheral development must also be put on the agenda.
The most representative of the surrounding areas here are things like figurines and printed T-shirts.
The business environment in China in terms of genuine periphery is very bad. The market is full of all kinds of pirated merchandise, but it is very popular in the market.
A genuine figure can easily cost tens of thousands, and a cooperative printed T-shirt sells for two or three hundred yuan. In contrast, dozens of pirated copies can be done, for customers, which one will they choose?
Of course, with the progress of the times, coupled with the country's economic development getting better and better, everyone is richer than before, the awareness of copyright has naturally become stronger and stronger, and the life of merchants has become better and better. In particular, some loyal fans are already willing and financially able to pay for the peripheral products of their favorite works.
That's the good thing.
At least, now doing peripheral development, it is possible to collect a certain profit in this regard, unlike in the past, you can only watch the piracy on the market and beat the genuine to the ground.
In this regard, the Special Events Task Force has taken a more conventional and traditional approach to fee authorization.
For example, their collaboration with Uniqlo on printed T-shirts is a one-time fee and then authorizes them to make their own peripherals for a one-year period.
According to the information fed back by Wu Jingtong, the sales of T-shirts of the cooperation model are not bad.
And keychains like figurines and classic character images, these have either been authorized out, or they are being discussed.
This is also a wave of money that can be recovered.
In addition to these, there is another important task on Wu Jingtong.
That is to fight for the special effects project of "Magic Shadow War", a new film directed by Du Zhengde.
This film is not a blockbuster with too much investment. Although it is a fantasy theme, it is said that the total investment is only about 70 million yuan.
In the case of domestic films, where the investment is often hundreds of millions, the investment in this fantasy film is indeed not much.
In terms of the current urine of the domestic film industry, the investment amount of star remuneration in movies is much higher than that of Hollywood.
"Demon Shadow Wars" is not exempt from vulgarity. A few old drama bones, plus an unfamous eighteenth-tier actor, the combined salary is probably still more than half of the salary of the little fresh meat who was not invited.
According to the news that Wu Jingtong got, sixty percent of the cost of this film is on the actor's salary. The shooting cost accounts for less than 20%, and the rest of the money is reserved for post-production of special effects.
It's very mysterious.
