Zhang Yanping was sitting in his office, looking at a report sent from Wedo Entertainment.

He is an executive at Penguin Pictures and is currently in charge of all aspects of League of Legends' film and television operations.

Penguin Group is a good hand at entertainment, not to mention games, they are almost the overlord of the country. In the era of terminal games, they gradually surpassed Shanda, NetEase and other companies and became the top in China; In the era of mobile games, they have occupied a huge market share, and there are very few domestic game companies that can compare with them.

Of course, their way of making games is completely different from "Taiwu 2", so I won't mention it.

In the entertainment industry, in addition to games, film and television are also very important.

Although it started as an Internet company, but with the huge size of the Penguin Group, it is natural that their business cannot be completely limited to the Internet, and it is an inevitable trend to continue to spread to the depths.

It is also normal to go to the film and television industry.

And in the film industry, they have also made some good investments in production.

For example, the two parts of "Charlotte's Troubles" and "Monster Hunt......

Not to mention the quality of the film, at least, it can be considered a commercial success.

"League of Legends" is a very important copyright held in the hands of Penguin Pictures.

Game adaptation of movies, this way has been done a lot abroad. Like "Resident Evil", "Tomb Raider", "Assassin's Creed", "Warcraft......

There are successes, such as the first two; There are those that are not successful, such as the last two.

"League of Legends", a game that has a certain appeal in the entire global market, naturally has its potential for adaptation. Especially in the Chinese market, it can almost be regarded as a national game, and the proportion of the younger generation who have played this game is quite high.

Turning such a game into a film and television does have a natural appeal.

However, movies and games are two different concepts after all.

For example, "Resident Evil", before the movie came out, although the game itself was relatively famous, it was not too famous; For example, "Assassin's Creed" and "Warcraft", especially "Warcraft", this game has set a record for the number of people online at the same time in the world, in addition to the national server, there are 13.1 million; In China, it is also a famous game with a huge number of fans.

However, the movie says pounce or not?

Although, the domestic OER is very powerful, including Fan Zhe himself, who also went to the cinema to contribute a movie ticket. However, although it exploded at the box office in the mainland market, it could not save it from an overall failure in the global market, so much so that it is said that the film was a loss in the end.

This represents that games and movies are two completely different art forms, and if games are not popular, movies are not necessarily popular; The game is popular, and it may not really be able to do a good movie.

But Penguin Pictures has ambitions.

A long time ago, they began to gradually build the so-called 'alliance universe' and build a related worldview. What they want to do is to be like Marvel's superhero movies, one after another with the theme of various characters in "League of Legends", and produce one commercial masterpiece after another.

And to achieve such a goal, the first work is the most important. Ran Wen .com

Back then, Marvel made "Iron Man", so they got up, and it is said that if "Iron Man" failed back then, the entire Marvel Studios industry might be finished because of this.

As for "Warcraft", after the first part was miserable, the second part immediately became far away.

This kind of commercial blockbuster that wants to take the visual effects route, the investment is quite huge, and it is common to spend hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn. Of course, making money is a lot of money, but if you lose money, it is also very miserable. Even those movie giants in Hollywood, if they really lose a few films of this level, it will be nerve-wracking.

Penguin is certainly rich, but it is also a big stall, and it will still be a very careful thing to allocate hundreds of millions of capital to invest in a movie.

What's more, Penguin Pictures itself does not have enough production capacity to make such a commercial blockbuster.

Collaborative shooting, that is the inevitable choice.

In the beginning, they were more inclined to choose the top studios in the United States, such as the Big Six — oh, now the Big Five — Columbia, Paramount, Disney, Universal Pictures, Warner......

Working with these top studios is the best solution for penguins.

But...... People don't want to do it that much.

The conditions they offered were too harsh, and I heard that Hollywood's attitude towards foreign capital was quite unfriendly.

Originally, they were going to look down.

For example, second-tier Hollywood studios such as Legendary Pictures, which has always had good cooperation with Chinese capital and were directly acquired by Wanda a few years ago.

However, it was at this time that Dimension Entertainment was born.

To be honest, Zhang Yanping really didn't think much about the company Wedo Entertainment at first.

Of course, they made a big hit TV series like "Fantasy of the Three Kingdoms", and the later "Hell Apartment" also won good results at a small cost, and the film and television special effects were also very good.

But after all, Wedo Entertainment's ability to produce commercial blockbusters has not really been shown.

For Penguin Films, the success of the first part of the "League of Legends" movie is too important. If you are cautious, a more experienced Hollywood studio is the best choice.

Recently, however, the situation has changed.

The successive successes of "Taiwu 2" and "Martial Arts Grandmaster" have made their capital even stronger. Although "Taiwu 2" is a game, the opening animation of this game really left a particularly deep impression on Zhang Yanping. In his cognition, even the best European and American companies are difficult to achieve the effect equivalent to the opening animation of "Taigo 2" in terms of visual effects.

And the success of "Martial Arts Grandmaster" is a further proof of their ability to produce visual effects film and television works.

Although, until now, they have not made a high-cost blockbuster, but Dimension Entertainment will at least be a good choice.

Especially when business negotiations with Hollywood companies are not going well.

The cooperation inquiry launched to Wedo Entertainment was sent by Zhang Yanping.

And now, Wedo Entertainment has also given its own response.

They are interested in participating in the project.

Of course, the more specific content of the cooperation has not yet come to talk. But now that there is an intention to cooperate, it is equivalent to taking the first step.

He is going to make an appointment with Mr. Ye and Mr. Fan of Wedo Entertainment to meet at a time.
