For Wedo Entertainment, "The Emperor of the Ruzi" is really not the direction they are good at.

The investment in this drama is not small, and the key is that it does not use the special effects technology that has been praised by the outside world in the past years.

At the beginning, when deciding to invest in this project, Ye Jiayi once told Fan Zhe that if there is any work that will be the Waterloo of 'Dimension Entertainment', it will be this one.

Fan Zhe himself is not unaware of these problems. However, he still made such a choice.

One of the main reasons is that Fan Zhe likes the original work very much, he believes that the original work tells a very good story, and it is also very suitable for film and television adaptation. In terms of plot, this kind of overhead dynastic change and power struggle full of classical flavor are rare in the domestic market.

Wedo Entertainment hopes that if this work can reach the same results as "Langya Bang", it will be satisfied.

In fact, the difference between the two is quite big. Although it is also an alternate history and a 'power scheme', in comparison, "The Emperor of the Ruzi" is much more realistic, and the overall style is more dark and cruel.

The plot told in "Langya Bang" is actually not Fan Zhe's dish. He hopes that through "The Emperor of the Ruzi", he will bring the domestic audience a more textured story about the power struggle with an ancient Chinese background.

And now, this drama is almost finished.

Internally, the premiere time set for "The Emperor of Ruzi" was in mid-December.

This time is not blind, and it is estimated that "Emperor Ruzi" will be able to complete all the production work before November. It's set for mid-December, and that's to take over "Martial Arts Grandmaster".

According to the current schedule, "Martial Arts Grandmaster" will probably be released at the end of December, and then "Emperor Ruzi", just in time.

The content of Emperor Ruzi is longer than the upper part of "Martial Arts Grandmaster", and there will be ninety-one episodes, and it will still be broadcast at a rate of six episodes a week until April next year.

When the time comes, just take out the lower part of "Martial Arts Grandmaster", and it can be put on for another three months.

In this way, it can basically be guaranteed that before next summer, the 'Wedo Platform' will always have a self-produced and distributed title drama of Wedo Entertainment, which will be broadcast online.

However, the results of "The Emperor of Ruzi" ...... Fan Zhe himself has no bottom in his heart.

He watched the film, although it hasn't been cut yet, but he still feels very comfortable with the current semi-finished product.

starring Li Ze, in terms of appearance, he is no worse than Chen Yu, another big actor under Weiwei Entertainment, and even, when it comes to acting skills, Li Ze, who is older and has suffered in the statement, is even much stronger than Chen Yu.

However, his popularity is far less than that of Chen Yu, which is indeed an indisputable fact.

The main reason is that he doesn't have as many opportunities as Chen Yu.

In "Fantasy of the Three Kingdoms", one is the undisputed first male protagonist of the hit drama, and the other is a supporting actor with few scenes; Chen Yu has participated in several projects of other companies one after another with his huge fame, but Li Ze has devoted himself to polishing his acting skills during this time; Chen Yu then took another step to shoot "Martial Arts Grandmaster", which is still popular all over the country, and can still get a large amount of playback under the paid model, and although Li Ze also waited for his own opportunity to be the leading actor, and the movie was also successful, but horror films like "Hell Apartment" naturally cannot be compared with "Martial Arts Grandmaster" in terms of popularity.

But despite this, apart from him, there are no more popular actors in "The Emperor of Ruzi".

Among the characters, Dimension Entertainment will not all use newcomers. There are many characters that may look a little familiar, but there are no first- and second-tier more famous stars, which is also an indisputable fact.

The stars don't shine so brightly, the actors' salaries don't shine that much, and there are no special effects.

But despite this, "The Emperor of the Ruzi" still spent more than 200 million budgets, and the reason why this is so is because I spent all my time on the details of filming.

From the costumes, to the scene construction, to the shooting of many, many details, a lot of work has been done in the film "The Emperor of the Ruzi".

In the end, all of this is reflected in the work.

After watching the film by himself, Fan Zhe was still very satisfied with the work of director Xie Peihe.

However, it is unknown whether the film will be able to achieve enough success in the market.

Its style, it should be said, is quite special in China. And, typically, judging from the content, the goal of this film is not to attract a female audience. On the contrary, male audiences may be the largest audience for this type of film.

Of course, this is not necessarily true.

For example, at the beginning, Fan Zhe of "Fantasy of the Three Kingdoms" still felt that boys liked to watch more, after all, the picture was cool, it was still the theme of the Three Kingdoms, or a game adaptation, but the final result slapped him in the face, although there were many male audiences, much more than ordinary domestic dramas, but the number of female viewers still exceeded that of men by a lot.

In short, no matter what, the results of "Emperor Ruzi" ultimately depend on the online situation.

As for the related publicity work, Wu Jingtong's marketing department is already working on it, and the most important publicity will be carried out in early December, that is, on the eve of the launch of the work.

According to the plan of the commercial department of 'Wedo Entertainment', they hope that the work "Emperor Ruzi" can bring more than 3 million paid members to the company on the 'Wedo platform', and its own sales can reach 5 million sets.

If the goal can be achieved, "The Emperor of the Ruzi" will bring about 500 million revenue to Wedo Entertainment, which also means that they will be able to reap more than 200% of the benefits in this film and television drama.

This would still be a very good investment-to-return ratio.

In addition, the works are made by themselves, the publicity is done by themselves, the distribution is done by themselves, and the platform is also their own. This means that every penny earned by "Emperor Ruzi", including the previous "Martial Arts Grandmaster", is owned by Wedo Entertainment, and there is no need to share anything with others except for paying taxes.

This is much more valuable than simply selling "Emperor Ruzi" to others for five or six billion.

Don't look at the money, but if the user is the blood of the platform, the content is the skeleton. Users always follow the content, and without good content, the platform can't do it.

If "Emperor Ruzi" can complete the predetermined goal, the more than 500 million points of money is just the direct income of the TV series. And the platform value-added brought by it is an intangible wealth.
