Chapter 359: Huge Investment

No matter what kind of discussion and evaluation "Hell Apartment" received after it was launched, it was always a week later that the operation department of the 'Dimension Platform' made a general evaluation of this work.

First of all, the number of clicks is very good, which means that there will be a certain amount of advertising revenue; Secondly, with the efforts of Wu Jingtong, using the feature-length animation "Hell Apartment", the 'Dimension Platform' has also gained a lot of new annual fee members during this time, although this number is not too much, only about 20,000 or 30,000, but it also represents hundreds of thousands of income. And, according to estimates, the final expectation of "Hell Apartment" is to increase the number of paying users by about 100,000, so that light-year members can earn millions.

These can only be regarded as added value, and the main goal of the feature-length animation of "Hell Apartment", which is to fill the task of exclusive content for paid members, has also been achieved.

According to the current data, about 60% of annual members have clicked on the work because they are interested in it, or simply just curious.

This data, although it may not seem high, has almost covered a large proportion of active paying users.

For the feature-length animation "Hell Apartment", the early goal has been achieved, and it will be up to how many people are willing to watch it for a long time under the long-term serialization.

At the same time, the overseas sales of this work and the development of animation merchandise are also underway.

Although "Hell Apartment" has more than 100 episodes, the investment is not high, and the manpower used is not particularly large.

In this way, the cost of the work has fallen to a point where it is still more acceptable. The average cost of a single episode is 200,000, and the total cost is about 10 million.

All the investment, the initial goal of Wedo Entertainment, is to bring a better experience to paying members, so even if you don't make a penny, it doesn't matter much - just advertise, anyway, Wedo Entertainment has money, not bad for this 10 million.

However, looking at it now, the new paid members attracted by the works and the marketing of various peripheral copyrights seem to be ...... Not only can you not lose this million, but you can also make some money.

Of course, even if you make money, you can't make too much, at least not as much as most of the previous works of Dimension Entertainment.

But even then, it's still quite comfortable.

The feature-length animation of "Hell Apartment", although it is another new work launched by Wedo Entertainment, but in short, among the company's many development projects, it is really not a key point, at best it is just a lace.

Of all the works that Dimension Entertainment is working on, each one is far more important than the "Hell Apartment" feature-length animation.

At present, the company is about to launch, or is in production, or has already established a total of six works.

An animation is an adaptation of Yanyu Jiangnan's "Demon Hunting Notes". This animation, which should be the animation department of Dimension Entertainment, is the highlight of this year. The budget for a single episode is 33 million yuan, which is equivalent to almost 5 million US dollars, and the total budget for the content of the entire season and ten episodes is more than 330 million yuan. With such an investment cost, if you smash it down to make an animation, only Dimension Entertainment can afford it.

The key is that they can still operate, return to their capital, and even make a lot of money.

For other companies, there are not a few entertainment companies that may have corresponding operational capabilities in the world, but those who dare to spend money like this are the only ones in the world.

And the other one is a game game: "Steam Daming". This is the original of the Eight Classics, and it is also the largest investment among the many projects established by the company. The total budget of the entire project has reached 1.3 billion yuan, which is almost 200 million US dollars.

What's more critical is that in addition to the investment in the books, there is also a lot of capital that we really have to pay for Dimensional Entertainment. Games, especially this top-notch triple-A masterpiece, are undoubtedly a comprehensive art. In addition to the visual stuff, from the designers, the planners, the copywriters, the music, ...... These are all things that a top-notch game can't live without.

The 'dimensional' system can take the most strenuous visual work out of "Steam Ming", but the art design, and everything else, are all done by Dimension Entertainment itself.

These things, after they made a "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2", they did have a lot of accumulation, but no matter how much they accumulate, if they want to create such a game, it's just one word anyway: money.

Don't have the money to make a 3A masterpiece? If you have money, then it's over.

The remaining four are all movies, namely "Martial Arts Master: War", "Demacia: Glory", "Night Hunter", and "Taiwu Picture Scroll".

The investment in these four films is not small. "Demacia: Glory" is the highest, reaching 800 million yuan; followed by "Taiwu Picture Scroll" and "Night Hunter", both of which are investments of 650 million yuan. The relatively smallest investment is still the movie "Martial Arts Grandmaster: War", which looks like it is in the early 500 million.

The total of the six projects adds up, and Wedo Entertainment has invested more than 4 billion yuan. Not counting the payment to the 'Dimensional Technology', the real money has also been lost more than 1.5 billion.

These key investment and production projects, of course, each of them is more important than the feature-length animation of "Hell Apartment".

With the investment of 10 million yuan in "Hell Apartment", it doesn't matter if you make money or not, the key is to see whether these key projects can achieve the expected goals, which is important.

At present, the first key work to be launched is "Martial Arts Master: War", a movie starring Chen Yu and directed by Du Zhengde.

At present, the serial series of "Martial Arts Grandmaster: Next" has been broadcast to the end.

This drama, from last summer, the upper part was launched, and then this spring's lower part was launched, which can be said to have set off a 'martial arts' craze across the country.

And taking advantage of the end of the broadcast of "Martial Arts Grandmaster: Part II", "Martial Arts Grandmaster: War", a movie that will be launched closely, will naturally attract huge attention.

In fact, the current publicity strategy of Wedo Entertainment for this movie revolves around the popularity of the TV series.
