The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

"Martial Arts Master: Part 2" is only a pre-sale performance, and it is already worthy of this era. So far, it is the drama with the strongest commercial appeal in China.

But just making money is not the only pursuit of Dimension Entertainment. Due to the influence of Fan Zhe, there is a belief in the company - making money is of course important, but it is equally important to make a good work and a work that is loved by people.

It is also with the support of such an idea that they will make IPs like "Hell Apartment".

So far, "Hell Apartment 2" has a total box office of only 520 million yuan. If the accounts are divided into the hands, and the cost is thrown away, it will probably earn a little more than 200 million yuan. Although the investment is small, but in terms of the energy invested, it is not a minority. And the little money earned, compared with a huge IP like "Martial Arts Master", is just a drop in the bucket-so far, the combined income of the two parts of "Martial Arts Master" is estimated to be almost 3 billion in the end, This is a gap of fifteen times.

But despite this, Dimension Entertainment still made "Hell Apartment", and in the future, they will still do this type of thing. One of Dimension Entertainment's pursuits is to produce themes and stories that have never appeared in China or even in the world.

It goes without saying that "Martial Arts Master" makes money, but they really don't want it to be scolded as a "cheat" after it is launched because of its low quality.

Of course, this kind of thing doesn't really happen.

On the day when "Martial Arts Grandmaster: Part 2" was officially launched, the ratings on Douban were also unlocked on the same day. This work still got a high score of 8.6 points despite the huge audience.

Although, in the future, as the screening time becomes longer, this score will tend to decrease, but I am afraid that it will not fall below eight points in the end.

Eight points, if understood according to Douban's scoring system, it is also a watershed for an excellent work.

On the contrary, the increase in sales, it is estimated that during the pre-sale, a large number of potential viewers have already purchased the complete episodes of the show, so that the subsequent growth rate is not as scary as during the pre-sale. However, it is estimated that when the episode of "Martial Arts Master: Part 2" is updated and comes to the stage of paid content, the sales situation will be able to rise again.

In any case, "Martial Arts Grandmaster: Part 2" is also a good result of steadily winning both word of mouth and achievements.

...

Regarding the release of the second part, Fan Zhe didn't continue to pay attention to it after seeing that the results were indeed very good.

He has a little too many things on hand recently.

Years later, the company launched four new projects, two animations, one movie and one game.

Those two animations are a long-running serial animation such as "Hell Apartment", and a season animation of "Hunter Notes".

All these have been handed over to Mi Le, the head of the company's animation department, so Fan Zhe doesn't have much to worry about.

But for the other two projects, he himself has to put in a lot of effort.

In other words, these two projects are related to the company's game department.

One of the games, which is currently the company's internal code-named "Da Ming" project, has been officially launched. The person in charge of this project is Gao Yixiang.

With a group of people, Lao Gao was split off from the Luozhou studio and established a new studio called 'Second World'. They will be responsible for the development of the game project "Da Ming".

The main reason why Luozhou Studio is not allowed to continue to work on this project is that they have their own tasks.

The current main work of Luozhou Studio is still on maintaining "Taiwu 2". It may not be possible for Dimension Entertainment to leave a game behind after it has been developed and sold for money.

Basic work such as bug fixes and game server maintenance must continue to be advanced. In addition, there are new appearances, development of new maps, new martial arts, etc., which are all to be done.

Of course, these will eventually be released in the form of DLC, some are free and some are charged, so players can always have new content to play.

In addition, the film project that the company is currently establishing is also related to Luozhou Studio. Before, Dimension Entertainment announced an event about "Taiwu 2", collecting game scripts for filming.

This activity has received widespread response from players—if you can turn your experience in the game into a movie, that would be such an interesting thing.

Not to mention, the final selected player will also receive a bonus of 250,000 US dollars.

Just for this part of the bonus, I don't know how many professional players are willing to devote their efforts to it.

This event was initiated in the name of Luozhou Studio, and of course the entire operation is also based on them.

Under the pressure of many parties, Luozhou Studio can't spare any manpower to develop a new game.

This game, code-named "Daming" internally, is directly positioned as a 3A-level game. Even if it has a "dimension" system to handle a lot of visual and artistic work, the overall volume is here after all, and the development team has to do it anyway. One or two hundred people are required.

There were probably only a few dozen people Gao Yixiang transferred from Luozhou Studio. From the current point of view, these manpower are only barely enough at the start-up stage of the project. When the project enters in-depth development, if you don't want to make a game for three to five years, you will have to increase the manpower.

Gao Yixiang has looked for Fan Zhe many times in the past few days.

Seeing this guy appear at the door of his office again, Fan Zhe really felt a headache.

"Why are you here again?"

"What's another? I'm here for the first time today, okay?"

Fan Zhe rolled his eyes and said, "Are you talking about manpower again?"

"That's right! The preparatory work for "Da Ming" is almost done, and several editions of the plan have been published, and now it is about to enter the formal development stage, but the manpower is too small! If it is done according to the current manpower, Take out the first version of the internal DEMO, it is estimated that it will be three years later! I don’t know how long it will be officially launched!”

"Didn't I tell you yesterday? I have already greeted Mr. Ye, and she approved it for you, and gave you the right to recruit people. If you lack people, don't look for me. Go to the personnel department." I want it!" Fan Zhe was really speechless.

"I know, I know." Gao Yixiang nodded again and again, then licked his face and stuck it up, saying: "However, the people recruited from outside are unfamiliar, and they are mixed. It's okay to recruit ordinary people, but there are no masters. man!"

"What do you want?" Fan Zhe became vigilant.

"Hey... I want Zhong Hua to join our studio as an art director..."

Fan Zhe jumped up straight: "Impossible! Just dream!"
