Chapter 437: The Second Half of the Year

This year is the year of the reign of Wedo Entertainment.

Starting from the Taiwu picture scroll released in the summer at the beginning of the year, to the night hunter and then to the dauntless assault, Wedo Entertainment has contributed three high-quality commercial films to the Chinese film market. These three movies, just at the box office in the mainland market, have exceeded 10 billion yuan combined, not to mention the first two, and there are really good overseas box offices.

However, in the second half of the year, Wedo Entertainment was a little quiet in terms of movies.

In the past six months, they basically have no film works to continue to launch.

The closest one of their movies will have to wait until the Spring Festival.

At that time, there will be a Demacia: Dragon's Blood release, which is the sequel film to the glory.

This is also a highly anticipated film, and it is not only the domestic audience that is looking forward to its arrival, but also its lovers in all major regions of the world, waiting for its release.

It may be a certain gap compared to Marvel's Avengers series, but that's pretty much what it means.

However, although there are no movies to be released in the second half of the year, Wedo Entertainment is not just a movie.

During this time, they still have two more works to be launched one after another.

The first is the series launched on the dimension platform in the summer, Fantasy Three Kingdoms 4, when Dauntless Assault was still being released.

This drama is a film and television drama adapted from Yujun Odin's game work, Fantasy Three Kingdoms 4, inheriting the worldview of the fantasy Three Kingdoms that was popular all over the country created by Dimension Entertainment before, but the entire world background and timeline are about in the middle and late stages of the Three Kingdoms, which is decades later than the previous work.

There are still a lot of people looking forward to this drama, and after it is launched, the reputation is not bad, but there will still be some criticism.

Among them, the most talked about is the comparison between this one and its predecessor.

"To be fair, the production quality of this one is basically the same as the previous work, but it doesn't mean that there is no room for criticism in this movie. On the contrary, the quality of the previous work is similar, and this is where the most criticism should be. Wedo Entertainment is a little reluctant to make progress in this series. ”

That's about the opinion.

But in fact, for Dimension Entertainment, this is their goal in itself.

When the fantasy Three Kingdoms was taken out for the film and television development of the second part, the company's original idea of establishing the project was to maintain the scale of production, not to increase investment costs, and the work was positioned in the face of a young audience.

This itself is also determined by the story core of the fantasy Three Kingdoms series.,The picture style is biased towards sunshine、Relaxed typeThe story style is also biased towards youth and sadness.,This kind of big production,It's not particularly suitable in itself.。

Of course, if you want to do it, you can do it, but you don't have to. If you want to make a big theme, some are other stories and other choices can be made.

Now this fantasy Three Kingdoms 4, among the goals of Dimension Entertainment, is positioned as a small-scale work, facing young audiences, and then popularizing the artists under Dimension Brokerage.

The role of the last one is actually quite large.

People like Chen Yu and Una will definitely not be able to come back to act in works like the Fantasy Three Kingdoms series, and it is not so necessary to find other big names, so it is more reliable to use them as newcomers to cultivate.

Of course, Dimension Agency didn't cram all the main roles into its own actors.

The protagonist is an actor under the dimension brokerage, yes, a young man named Yan Baifeng, according to Dai Weidong, this should be one of the more high-quality actors they have cultivated, debuted for two years, and has already had experience in some other film and television works, and also played a cameo role in the movie Taiwu Picture Scroll.

And the heroine is a girl from another company.

There has always been an influence from the outside world, that is, Dimension Entertainment seems to be out of step with the mainstream film and television circle, as if it looks down on others.

In a sense, this is true. Wedo Entertainment doesn't need to look for too much investment from other places, some investment institutions are in a hurry to send them money, and they themselves are also very rich in film and television production, they have their own mature team that has been established through the production of many works, and they also have several subsidiaries of their own in terms of distribution and publicity, and they are also becoming more and more mature

In addition to the theater chain, they have formed a closed loop in the film and television industry, from project approval, investment to production completion, and there is no need to cooperate with other companies.

This is the main reason why the outside world feels that they are isolated from the entertainment industry.

But in fact, there are still a lot of normal business cooperation between them and the circle. Wedo Entertainment itself has never felt that they don't need collaborators, in fact, they have cooperated with the outside world in almost every work.

The most explicit thing is that they will use other people's actors, and at the same time, the actors of Wedo Agent will also participate in the works produced by other companies.

It's not that no one has thought about engaging in something like an industry alliance to block dimensional entertainment.

But there is no point.

First, the dimension is not afraid, there is no link that others can move, and secondly, there are very few people who can respond to this thing. How good it is to make money with Wedo Entertainment, and do it right when you are full, isn't there anything wrong with that?

In this context, Wedo Entertainment itself does not mind, and exchanges some interests with other companies with a more friendly relationship.

This kind of exchange of interests may be far stronger than the so-called mixing in the same circle.

Capital can easily betray feelings, but it can never betray interests.

After the series of Fantasy Three Kingdoms 4 was released, the results were quite good, and the number of broadcasts was quite high.

In the operation of this work, Wedo Entertainment also understands some other thoughts.

The relevant commercial and operational departments, after studying some market reports, believe that this series is not suitable for a business model similar to the martial arts master, which charges for a single episode.

So, they made a decision to imagine that the full set of Three Kingdoms 4 has ninety-two episodes, the first five episodes are completely free, and the rest of the content is free for members.

It seems that the decision to cancel the single purchase will make the Fantasy Three Kingdoms 4's ability to generate direct income decrease a lot, but it can be used to attract a large number of users, and even turn a large number of ordinary users into paid users.
