The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

"Golden Monkey Award? What is this?"

After Fan Zhe heard the news about "The Sword of Amber", he was a little confused.

He hadn't heard of this.

On the phone, Ye Jiayi said: "Nominally speaking, it should be the highest award in the Chinese animation industry."

"Is it so powerful? Why haven't I heard it before?"

"Well... There are many reasons. On the one hand, neither the government nor the general public pay much attention to this award; on the other hand, the government's sense of existence for this award is too strong."

Ye Jiayi's words were more graceful, but Fan Zhe understood what he wanted to express in seconds.

The animations awarded by the government basically have nothing to do with the popular animations in the eyes of the public. Don't say anything else, a "Domestic TV Animation Distribution License" will get stuck, and I don't know how many people are stuck.

And since this is the case, it is naturally difficult to have any credibility. Animated movies may be okay, it is impossible for someone to really regard a film that won the so-called Golden Monkey Award as the best domestic animation—isn’t that ridiculous?

Of course, there is one thing to say, their animation film awards are relatively reliable, and it is normal to win awards such as "The Return of the Great Sage".

It stands to reason that it is impossible for the second season of "Sword of Amber" to win the Golden Monkey Award. Among other things, Dimension Entertainment, as the producer of the work, didn't even have a submission - and couldn't do so. This work doesn't have a TV cartoon distribution license.

However, under such circumstances, Dimension Entertainment received a call from Aiqi Video, saying that it was someone from the Animation Festival, who was asking about their willingness to participate in the exhibition.

Therefore, this matter was taken over by the public relations department of Dimension Entertainment.

The Golden Monkey Award is based on the China International Animation Festival. To be fair, the animation festival itself is getting better and better, except for the Golden Monkey Award, which really doesn't have that many people who care about it.

According to what they said, if Dimension Entertainment is willing to pay attention to cooperating with the animation festival and awards they will hold this year, they will help Dimension Entertainment apply for a TV distribution license.

This promise is still pretty strong. The key is not like a blank invoice. Because, the organizer of this animation festival is the Optoelectronics Bureau.

In this regard, of course, Dimension Entertainment has nothing to do with it-it's a good thing.

Although "Sword of Amber" is already very popular now; although the TV platform is becoming more and more declining, and the effect of animation works on it is not very good, but no matter what, it is still possible to be shown on the stars. A good thing, after all, has a very good effect on promoting the work to a higher level.

At the same time, this is also a very good opportunity for Dimension Entertainment to establish a cooperative relationship with the system.

In China, no matter what kind of business you do, you can't do it if you can't handle government relations well.

As for what people say, the so-called "valuing" this award, the implication is that Dimension Entertainment can naturally understand it.

Ye Jiayi directly transferred Tang Zhiqi from Fan Zhe's crew and asked her to be responsible for this work.

It didn't take long for Dimension Entertainment to negotiate a sponsorship contract for the International Animation Festival to be held this year. At the same time, besides "Amber Sword", there is also "4.6 Billion Ensemble of Evolution" participating in the animation festival.

At the same time, not long after, "The Sword of Amber" also won the TV distribution license, and then quickly negotiated with his old friend Jiang Anhong about "Amber" being broadcast on the children's channel.

"I have been under a lot of pressure to introduce "Amber Sword" this time, and I don't know how many reports I will receive."

Jiang Anhong said so.

...

All in all, the second season of "The Sword of Amber" brought Dimension Entertainment much higher benefits than expected.

This work, while continuing the success of the previous season, has further pushed up the popularity of this series of IP.

Not to mention anything else, the original novel of "The Sword of Amber" became popular in an instant, and the electronic subscriptions paid for by the Internet skyrocketed by countless times, making Lewen Group a huge profit out of thin air.

It makes them both painful and happy.

Of course, they were happy because they almost earned a lot of money out of nothing.

As for the pain, it may be a little deeper.

In order to make the "Full Time" series, they sold a lot of novel copyrights to Dimension Entertainment so far. So far, among the things that Dimension Entertainment has developed, "Task Force" and "4.6 Billion Ensemble" may be better. The box office of "Hell Apartment" is quite good, but it is not too scary.

But "Amber" is really too popular.

At present, based on the evaluation of their own copyright marketing department, the total value of all copyrights of this work, from animation, to comics, to film and television, to peripherals, to derivative copyrights... may soar to billions.

What is this concept? It is almost one-tenth of the market value of the entire company, Lewen Group!

This data is exaggerated, and it can only be used as a bragging statement. Not to mention anything else, if someone finds Dimension Entertainment and spends a billion or so to buy the full copyright of "Amber Sword", they will definitely sell it immediately-value potential and value realization are two different things.

But even so, there is enough heartache for Lewen Group.

Lost one billion!

Then, think about the popularity of "Fantasy Three Kingdoms", and then think about the upcoming "Martial Arts Master" that is said to be more sophisticated, and then think about "Ruzidi", which has also been approved as a project, and think about the sales they sold. , There are still many copyrights that have not been approved...

A loss of 10 billion!

This is exactly the current mentality of Lewen Group.

But what about this matter?

Didn't it sell at that time? If it is bad in hand, who can guarantee that the copyright development of the work will really succeed?

No matter how confident a person is, it is impossible to have such a guarantee. The original book was popular, but it turned out that the development of an IP that hit the street to death was gone, at least compared to the successful cases, there were very few of them.

Only companies like Dimension Entertainment can guarantee that almost none of the IPs they have developed so far can be regarded as failures.

In other words, those successes are not based on IP in essence, but on Dimension Entertainment's strong development capabilities and technology.

But it is precisely because of this that it makes people feel even more desperate-this kind of success cannot be replicated.

But no matter what the people of the Lewen Group think, it is already an established fact that the work "Amber Sword" will continue to make great strides forward.

Just now, the second season of "Sword of Amber" has already brought Dimension Entertainment 200 million in revenue.

And in the future, when the profits from various peripherals and overseas are recovered, the total revenue may reach 500 million!
