Chapter 334: Eight Major Projects
Lewen Group was a little panicked.
It's true that they are giants in the online literature industry, but it doesn't mean that they have a complete monopoly on the industry.
There are also many other stations, and naturally there will be some excellent ones.
For example, "Demon Hunting Notes" and "Sword in the Snow" just won by Wedo Entertainment.
Of course, the authors of these two works, 'Yanyu Jiangnan' and 'The Princes of Beacon Opera', were both veteran god authors who ran away from Qidian back then, but no matter what, these two works do not belong to the Lewen Group after all.
This trick is quite a bit of a drawdown.
Originally, Lewen Group was not too worried about others selling copyrights and making IP-oriented film and television and animation works. Although there are some excellent ones in addition to them, how can they compare to the leading boss in terms of total volume?
It's just that being bought by Wedo Entertainment makes people very panicked.
After Lewen has made a number of popular IP-oriented works because of Wedo Entertainment, he deeply knows that after the success of the film and television of an IP, the subsequent linkage will bring great benefits.
They are not worried that their competitors have a popular IP, but they are very worried that behind this popular IP, it will bring a huge boost to other network stations.
Obviously, this will have the potential to challenge their supremacy.
And it was precisely by virtue of this hand that the instructions received by the kappa underwent a fundamental change: from having to share profits in the later stage, to trying to fight for it, but it was really impossible to get it, and it was sold at a relatively good price.
He restarted his engagement with Dimension Entertainment.
Under this premise, Fan Zhe also instructed Wei Han to re-engage with Lewen Group and restart the copyright negotiations for many works.
However, until the copyright negotiations for these works are finalized, Wedo Entertainment's own project development work will not stop.
After a few years, the company launched a total of four different projects.
Two animations, a game, a movie.
Those two animations are good to say, with the current situation of dimensional entertainment, the manpower, material resources and funds involved in starting an animation project will not be particularly large. But game and movie projects are different, there will be a lot of investment, and a lot of manpower needs to be invested.
Counting the two movies "Martial Arts Grandmaster: War" and "Demacia: Glory" that are being filmed, the number of projects that Wedo Entertainment is currently opening at the same time has reached six; If you count the third part of the "Amber Sword" animation that has been completed but has not yet been launched, and the movie "Hell Apartment 2", these eight projects may involve a total of nearly 5 billion funds.
Of course, these five billion yuan naturally cannot be smashed in one go. A lot of money is invested in batches, and it is like a movie about League of Legends, which is invested by Penguin, not all of them are invested by Wedo Entertainment. Counting these investments, a large part of the quotations for post-production and special effects production are reported to the 'Dimension Technology', so it seems that the total value of the investment is nearly 5 billion, but in fact, there is not so much money that needs to be paid.
But this is still a considerable investment, and opening so many projects at the same time is basically the limit of Wedo Entertainment.
"Taiwu Picture Scroll 2" did make a lot of money, but the overseas market had to give the distributor money. And all the other accounts, aside from taxes, operating costs, and publicity costs, the rest can support the six projects that were opened at the same time, which is already good.
On the current books of Wedo Entertainment, there is naturally a lot of money left. It's just that at the point where they are now, many things will try not to come recklessly, and they must always keep some funds in case of emergencies and prevent risks.
……
One day in late February, during the company's lunch break, Fan Zhe specially found Mi Le and went out for lunch together.
During the banquet, Miller was a little restless at first, and as soon as she finished ordering, she asked a little nervously: "That...... Boss, is there something wrong with Amber? ”
She panicked.
The third season of "Amber" was almost completed a few years ago. After coming back after a Spring Festival, after handling some of the later work, the finished product was handed over, and two days ago, it was delivered to the company's audit department for review.
Speaking of which, we have to mention the newly established 'audit department' of Wedo Entertainment. The main job of this department is to review all the works produced by the company to ensure that they are completed on time, and to review the quality of the works to ensure that they meet the standards. In addition, they will also work with the company's government relations department to avoid policy risks in the work.
This department reports directly to Fan Zhe and Ye Jiayi, the two top leaders of the company.
Now, the front foot of the third season of "Amber" has just been handed over to the company's review department, and it has not been two days before she was called out by Fan Zhe alone.
Fan Zhe also knew his old subordinate, he smiled and said: "Don't be so nervous, there is nothing wrong with "Amber", no accident, the audit results should be available in the next two days, and the operation department is already starting to arrange the work of going online." ”
Hearing him say this, Miller was also relieved, and his face became relaxed.
After the food was served, the two casually chatted about family life. Fan Zhe asked Mi Xiaoxiao, who had just entered elementary school, about her recent studies, and learned that the little girl was also a primary school bully now; Mi Le also asked Fan Zhe and Ye Jiayi when they were going to remarry, and when they learned that it was just recently, they also laughed happily.
In the second half of the dinner, it was finally time to get down to business.
Fan Zhedao: "The company should have a reorganization next week, and from the current development department, a separate 'animation development department' will be brought out, and I am ready to hand over this department to you." ”
Miller nodded cautiously and said, "Do you want to do all the animation-related projects independently?" ”
Fan Zhe looked at Mi Le with a little surprise, he was observing Mi Le's reaction just now after he finished speaking. Originally, he thought that Mi Le would refuse first, and even he had prepared a large number of speeches, thinking about how to convince his old subordinate, but he didn't expect her to admit it happily and began to ask about the content of the work.
It seems that after independently producing the third season of "Amber", Miller has grown a lot in terms of mentality.
Since this is the case, Fan Zhe is even more relieved.
He said: "Yes, the two projects that will be started soon, the animated version of "Hell Apartment" and the animation project of "Demon Hunting Notes", are all going to be done by the 'Animation Development Department', and you will have a heavy burden on your body next. ”
"I'll do my best."
