Chapter 406: Very Rich
At night, Fan Zhe, who was sleepy playing games, lay on the bed.
After a while, Ye Jiayi, who had finished taking a bath, also came.
While changing into her pajamas, she said: "Penguin Pictures has brought a new idea, they want to start a new League of Legends story, and I hope we can support the project." ”
"What? Isn't the Dragon's Blood already established? ”
"But they still want to open a new one." Ye Jiayi said, "They saw the huge commercial potential of this series from "Glory". ”
"What did they say?"
"They want to start a storyline for Ice Shooters."
Although Ye Jiayi doesn't play games and is not interested in League of Legends, she is a professional manager. In the League of Legends series, the cooperation with Penguin Pictures is currently one of the most important series projects of the company. Competent people, of course, will make an effort to understand the relevant information about this content.
On the other side of the fist, including the penguins themselves, they seem to have a special preference for the hero of the Ice Shooter.
This is one of the first heroes to be pushed out of the game League of Legends, and at the same time, Riot is making the corresponding world view setting, in the ice shooter. A lot of energy has been put into Ash's body. Including the first feature-length serialized comic in the LOL series, they also cooperated with Marvel to launch "Ash. War Mother series.
Let's not talk about the repercussions of the comic itself, but this actually shows their attitude - the first character they want to develop in depth should be Ash.
In fact, it is easy to understand that Ash's character is set as a great person, and in the conflicted Freljord, she is committed to promoting peace, shouting every day what lines like 'as long as we are united, no one will suffer'.
Moreover, Ash herself is a woman, which is also quite consistent with the political correctness of the current feminist ideology.
According to these factors, it is normal for Riot and Penguin Pictures to want to force this hero as the first attempt at the in-depth development of LOL copyright.
Earlier, after the two sides of Wedo Entertainment and Penguin negotiated a cooperation, the penguin's meaning at that time was that the first part suggested to be Freljord and Ash as the protagonist, but Fan Zhe rejected it, and instead started the story line of Demacia.
This time, they came up with the corresponding idea again.
Fan Zhe thought carefully for a while and said, "Let me think about it first." ”
"Hmm." Ye Jiayi nodded, "You have the final say in terms of content." However, to make a decision as soon as possible, the penguin side is urgent. ”
"It's urgent to see that you're making money."
Ye Jiayi smiled: "That's for sure." They also said that if we have financial difficulties, they can even bear the vast majority of the investment in the production of this new film. ”
"Are you having trouble?"
"Nope." Ye Jiayi said.
With a production cost of $100 million, it will not be difficult for Wedo Entertainment to invest in a film of this production level.
They can now almost be called the top companies in the comprehensive cultural and entertainment industry in China. Movies, Games, Animation...... The works produced have become popular.
Only compared to revenue, few can compare with them.
Moreover, it seems that the investment cost of various projects is high, but with the support of the 'dimensional' system, it is actually quite cheap. The flow of funds in the accounts has been transferred from Wedo Entertainment to Wedo Technology as a project cost.
However, in the name of investment, Wedo Technology will inject funds into Wedo Group, and then Wedo Group will inject capital into many of its subsidiaries, such as Wedo Entertainment, which is responsible for project production, Wedo Technology, which is responsible for actor management, and various overseas branches.
These operations are a set of things made by Ye Jiayi according to Fan Zhe's requirements, and they are basically like this.
Of course, Fan Zhe didn't understand many details of the operation very well, but he just listened to Ye Jiayi's explanations, including the legal department, and also gave some explanations.
In Wedo Group, as well as all the subsidiaries of Wedo Group, all the equity is in Fan Zhe's own hands, and the capital transfer within the group is subject to very little supervision and relatively small restrictions.
All in all, Wedo Group is rich.
They have money, either in any asset, or in a strong cash flow.
It's more bullish than anything else.
For this reason, Wedo Entertainment has no scruples at all when carrying out various projects. As long as you don't play too much, why do more than 80 episodes of "Master of Mystery" at the cost of 12 million dollars per episode in one go, then there will be no problems.
For example, in the past, they would encounter some financial crises because they took too big a step, but now it is unlikely that a similar situation will occur.
Many companies, no matter what industry, in the process of development and expansion, the most common problem encountered is the problem of capital, and the usual solution is nothing more than financing and borrowing. Even, many start-up companies, starting from the company, the whole goal is to get financing, and it is a good thing for the founding team to take the money and leave.
And Dimension Entertainment never did.
Financing has not been; Debt lending, after Ye Jiayi joined the company, was operated because of the financial pressure of the project, but there was basically no pressure on Wedo Entertainment's projects and loans, and there was basically no pressure to repay the money.
Until now, I don't even need to borrow.
Penguin's side is still thinking about opening more projects, and Wedo Entertainment has no capital investment, which is purely a dream.
According to the agreement between the two parties, the power to start the project is in the hands of Wedo Entertainment, and Penguin has the right to suggest and has corresponding restrictions, that is, how often Wedo Entertainment has to open a project, and it can't be delayed for too long.
But apparently, it's certainly not a drag now. "Glory" has only been released for a long time, and "Dragon's Blood" and "Night Hunter" have both been established, and the latter is about to be filmed.
It may even be a bit urgent to set up a new project.
Fan Zhe asked this question.
Ye Jiayi thought for a while and replied, "Actually, it's okay." According to our market research, the success of "Glory" has largely attracted the interest of the audience. For this series of movies, the market is still very eager to see new films. If the project is established now and released next year, it will be nothing more than three movies launched in two years. Not only is it not much, but it may still not be able to fill the demand of the market. ”
"That's good." Fan Zhe said as he raised his eyes to look at the clock and said, "It's late, let's sleep." ”
"Hmm." Ye Jiayi lay beside him.
