The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

"Jiayi!"

Seeing Ye Jiayi going away, Fan Zhe still shouted.

"Huh?" Ye Jiayi turned her head.

Fan Zhe noticed that her face was a little red and a little shy.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." He forcibly kept his face normal, except for the red spot behind his ears, but he couldn't back down no matter what.

"Then why do you..."

"Okay." Ye Jiayi interrupted Fan Zhe's inquiry, and said directly: "What's the matter? Come on, I still have a meeting."

"...Okay." Fan Zhe didn't bother anymore, and talked about the business, "In addition to the three projects we are currently working on, I want to set up two more projects. Can the company's current situation support it? ?”

When it came to work, Ye Jiayi naturally calmed down and got into work.

She replied: "How big is the project? If it is at the level of the game development project of "Taiwu Painted Scroll 2", let alone two, one of them will not be able to support it."

What Ye Jiayi said was the truth.

The project "Taiwu Painting Scroll 2" has been in progress for a year and a half.

In the beginning, the estimated time for this game development project was one year. However, in actual work, Fan Zhe found that he was still a little too optimistic.

Although the 'Dimension' system provides the support of very rich art resources, and the 'Dimension Engine' is an engine software that is beyond this era, but one year's time is enough to develop a 3A masterpiece that can reach the current world's top. Still too difficult.

In fact, if you want to make the standard of those New Year's goods series, it's not impossible.

However, in this game, Fan Zhe and the entire planning team conceived too many groundbreaking things.

These things, in the past, only existed in concept, and no one has realized them yet.

This includes the combat system that will contain a lot of real-time calculations, and the dynamic rivers and lakes with powerful AI calculations.

The whole team, no one has developed this kind of thing; not even in the whole world. Even if they want to find a place to learn from experience, they have no way to learn from it.

No one ever did it.

It is precisely because of this that the development cycle of "Taiwu Painting Scroll 2" has been delayed again and again. It was originally planned to be completed within this year, but it seems that there is no hope. Even, by next summer, whether the development can be completed is another matter.

The development time exceeded the estimate, which is not just the price of time. This means that nearly half of the company's development efforts have been devoted to this game, and it will always be involved. The entire research and development budget has also exceeded the estimate, and I am afraid that it will eventually go to 1.2 billion, or even 1.5 billion.

Judging from this research and development capital alone, this work has at least completed one of the 'A's of the '3A' masterpieces: top-level investment.

Of course, 80% of the money was actually paid to Dimension Technology. For example, the authorization fee of the 'dimension engine', such as 'motion capture', 'physical collision calculation', 'fine model building', 'real lighting' and a series of things.

The money will eventually flow back to 'Dimension Entertainment'.

If it weren't for this, Zheng'er Bajing spent more than one billion yuan, even if 'Dimension Entertainment' made a lot of money in the past two years, it would not be able to do it.

However, despite this, the company's resources in art and funds have indeed been involved in a large part of its energy.

As for the other two projects that are still underway, the overall volume is relatively much smaller.

One is the second season of the "Amber Sword" animation, and the other is the third season of "The 4.6 Billion Ensemble of Evolution".

The former was a big success this summer. At home and abroad, the total revenue has exceeded 200 million, and is slowly heading towards 300 million.

For an animation, this is definitely second to none. In terms of word-of-mouth, it is even more outstanding. It has been dubbed the title of "the strongest domestic animation in the 21st century". A series of popular animation works such as "Alchemist" and "Sword Art Online" have successfully entered the top 25 in the history of Japanese disc sales.

It would be unreasonable not to make a sequel to such a work.

The second season of "Amber" was officially approved some time ago, and the pre-production has begun. Mi Le is still in charge of the project, and it is expected to be launched next summer.

If there is no accident, if the performance of "Amber" can be maintained, then this animation will inevitably be released at a rate of one per year. The entire content is estimated to be about eight to ten seasons.

Of course, this is just an estimate right now. The life cycle of a work is limited, and it is stinky and long. Even "The Walking Dead" has a tendency to be unfinished.

Take one step at a time and look at the next step. If the work is really tired, you can also make some deletions and changes in the plot as appropriate to speed up the content.

Another project, namely "The Ensemble of 4.6 Billion Evolution", the third season should be the end.

The original work of this novel is very long. When Fan Zhe himself was reading the original work, he couldn't read the rest of it.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the animation adaptation. However, it is true that when the second season of this animation came out, the second half of the animation gradually shifted to more science fiction elements and less popular science. Some not so good reviews. At the same time, his performance on TV stations and online platforms has also been affected to a certain extent.

Therefore, when it is broken, it is broken.

Although there are many more behind the original work, Fan Zhe finally made a decision that "4.6 Billion Ensemble" will end with the third season.

For 'Dimension Entertainment', the production of these two works is not too difficult, and the entire production process is not too tight. They are expected to be released next year, and do not involve too much energy.

Ye Jiayi said: "... If you want to open a new project, the scale of "Taiwu Painted Scroll 2" will definitely not work. The company's current manpower can at most support a project team similar to the scale of "Amber Sword" , No matter how many more, we will continue to recruit people on a large scale, and in terms of funds, the problem is not too big."

Fan Zhe had a general understanding of the company's current operating conditions, and after hearing Ye Jiayi's conclusion, he nodded and said, "The scale is definitely bigger than the animation "Amber Sword", which is probably similar to the previous "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" "almost."

"Filming a drama?"

"Yes."

"Which one?"

"Martial arts master."
