Chapter Seventy-Six: No Shortage of Projects
To be a platform and its own distribution channel, this is what we need to do.
However, with the current volume of 'Dimensional Entertainment', it is almost impossible to make great achievements in these aspects.
In the video sector, these giants that started in China are currently competing fiercely with each other, and at the same time, in terms of content introduction, they are also burning money.
At present, in Fan Zhe's conception, the most ideal state is still in the mode of the battle net of glass slag.
Mainly do their own content, do their own work distribution.
It's just that people are making games, and Fan Zhe thinks of the future 'dimensional platform', which should be a three-dimensional content distribution platform.
For a long time in the future, these things can only stay in the stage of imagination, but he believes that with the future development of 'Dimension Entertainment', it will become more and more powerful, and this is not an unrealizable dream.
As for participating in the spring recruitment of major universities, this is another level of things.
Wedo Entertainment has never slowed down the pace of its development and expansion, especially now that its finances have become healthy.
The development team isn't expanding as fast, but it's time for other departments to be set up.
After the Spring Festival, Fan Zhe, with the assistance of Tang Zhiqi, began to formally build the company's personnel, finance, marketing, business and other departments, and also carried out recruitment for college graduates in major universities.
The main purpose of recruiting college students is to reserve more talents for the company to explore internally.
In fact, there are very few job fairs held by Wedo Entertainment in comprehensive universities, only one at Jiangning University in Jiangning City, not far from Shenghai, and one at Jiaotong University in Shenghai.
Another focus is mainly on Fan Zhe's alma mater, Shenghai Art Institute, as well as several art academies such as Gome, Sichuan and Guangmei.
For the current Wedo Entertainment, administration, personnel and other departments are still secondary, and the expansion of the development team is even more important.
At present, Wedo Entertainment already has more than 40 employees, and Fan Zhe plans to expand this number to about 100 to 200 in one to two years.
Of course, this is only a goal, and ultimately it depends on the company's business development.
……
Last time, on the day of the premiere of the second season of "Full Time", the kappa who called Fan Zhe had another purpose besides reporting the good news.
He's probing over the renewal of the third season of the anime.
The single episode was viewed more than 3 million times that day, which has already shown that the results of the second season of "Full Time" will not be bad.
This is indeed the case, by the time the second and third episodes came out, the total number of views had exceeded 20 million.
It's only been two weeks in total, and if it continues to develop according to this momentum, in the end, when the second season of "Full Time" ends, the total number of broadcasts will exceed 100 million, and the results will already exceed the first season.
The first quarter was too big to invest and didn't make much money; In this second season, the production cost is about the same as the first season, and the investment in publicity and distribution is also about the same, but it seems that it can make a lot of money.
At the same time, the popularity of the second season will inevitably be able to drive the results of the upcoming TV series.
This wave was earned.
In such a situation, Lewen Group certainly wants to renew the contract, hoping that Wedo Entertainment can still be the producer of the third season.
On the phone, Kappa vaguely mentioned this and said that he could maintain the original price and renew the contract.
Fan Zhe didn't agree.
The second season has become popular and made achievements, and the third season will maintain the original price? Impossible.
In this regard, Fan Zhe has the same attitude as the two partners that Lewen Group talked about before.
After hearing Fan Zhe's clear refusal, the Lewen Group also died down for the time being.
This second season has just been launched, and the broadcast has not been completed, and it is estimated that even if the third season is established and production begins, the launch will have to be postponed to the first half of next year.
They weren't in a hurry.
Fan Zhe was even less anxious.
Wedo Entertainment is not out of money now, and it has to take on other people's third-party production projects.
Do? You can do it, give money, and there is definitely nothing to talk about for a million single episodes.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't do it, he really doesn't have a shortage of projects right now.
The animation of the second season of "Special Events Task Force" has been completed and delivered to Penguin Video and Station B, and it is scheduled to be launched in early March, only three months after the first season.
And the animation of the third season, after the company started work after the year, it has already started.
The leader of the art team is still Sun Yilang. He is leading his team and is painting the characters of the third season. At the same time, Yuan Zhenshan took his assistant, together with the original author, to work intensively on the creation of the script.
In the third season, Fan Zhe planned fifteen episodes, and the entire project is estimated to be completed in June.
At the same time, Wu Jingtong has slowly taken over the sale of animation rights in the third season.
However, pricing and formal negotiation will inevitably be decided after the broadcast of the second season and the results are out.
In this regard, Fan Zhe is full of confidence.
The results of the first season are on fire, although it is not the kind of work that is a big hit, but with its own special style, it has accumulated a group of die-hard fans.
With the support of these die-hard fans, the results of the second season are guaranteed; As long as the results of the second season are not bad, the price of the third season will not be lower than that of the second season.
Coupled with the special effects production project of the movie "Shadow War", it was negotiated, and the contract was signed and has taken effect, with a total price of 20 million yuan.
With this project and the third season of "Task Force", Wedo Entertainment has no shortage of projects to do in the first half of this year, and the income is expected to be quite good, and the economic situation will continue to improve.
The company has now entered a benign and high-speed development trajectory, and Fan Zhe is very pleased.
In fact, most of the backbone of the current 'Dimensional Entertainment' has been invested in "Demon Shadow War".
Fan Zhe himself attaches great importance to this, after all, this is the first time he has used the 'dimensional' system to make special effects for a movie.
It's not quite like doing animation, but more like the CG animation of "Assassination Squad" that he produced through it when he first obtained the 'dimensional' system, which involved modeling, lighting design, and rendering.
Rendering has nothing to do with the 'dimensional' system, and with Fan Zhe's existing hardware facilities, he does not have the conditions for rendering film-level special effects.
It's going to cost a lot of money to be thrown at the render farm.
The work before rendering is also challenging.
Artists with a slightly lower level are no longer able to participate in this project.
