The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

Calculate the left and right, this year, the income of Dimension Entertainment is actually not as much as last year.

Last year, a "Fantasy of the Three Kingdoms", plus two other relatively small projects, the company earned more than one billion in revenue.

This year, although "Amber" is a big seller, the volume of animation works is still no way to compare with TV series, only making 170 million in revenue. However, "Amber" is made in quarters after all. This is only the first season, and the days to come will be long.

Although "Hell Apartment" has a high rate of return, the overall box office size is still around 300 to 400 million yuan, and Dimension Entertainment's revenue from this work is only about 150 million yuan.

So far this year, the two online works have brought a little more than 300 million yuan in revenue to Dimension Entertainment. Coupled with the long-term income of the past works, the whole calculation will not exceed 350 million.

This number is not as good as last year.

At the same time, relatively speaking, spending money has become more fierce.

The investment in "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2" exceeded 1 billion; the public investment in the two works of "Amber Sword" and "Hell Apartment" also reached 50 million; there is also a 500 million investment in "Budo The Grand Master.

In terms of public funds, "Dimensional Entertainment" cannot make ends meet and still relies on "Dimensional Technology" for blood transfusion.

But things are not so calculated.

The investments that are smashed will all be profitable in the future.

First of all, let's talk about the movie "Budo Master". On the basis of "Fantasy Three Kingdoms", the quality is guaranteed, and the star lineup has been improved by many grades. According to the estimate given by the company's commercial department, the lowest bottom line of the show is 1.5 billion. The expected value It is more than two billion.

This project should be relatively stable. In other words, by next year, the marketing of Dimension Entertainment will be at least the least, and will more than double that of last year.

Big investment naturally requires big gains.

Speaking of big investment, Dimension Entertainment has another project that can be called a gamble, and that is "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2".

In this work, the nominal investment scale given by ‘Dimension Entertainment’ is 1.2 billion.

In the future, "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2" will inevitably be launched on multiple platforms such as PS, XB, and PC. Ye Jiayi is already doing related work. Its global pricing will inevitably look at the 3A masterpiece, which is about 60 for the standard edition, 80 for the special edition, and 100 for the ultimate edition.

The pricing mentioned here is in U.S. dollars.

In the national area, the price may be slightly lower, but the standard version should be at least more than two hundred yuan.

In the whole calculation, "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2" has sold at least 4 million sets, which can reach the profit and loss point. If the distribution commissions and announcements of the major platforms are also included, the profit and loss point may be doubled. If you want to have an ideal profit, you may need to sell tens of millions of sets.

This is actually quite a lot of pressure.

The reason why it is a big bet is that the current internal business department of the company has no idea what kind of results "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2" will achieve in the end.

What are the tens of millions of concepts? The sales volume of the game can exceed 10 million, and it is also a very rare work in the entire world game industry.

"The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt", GTA series, Need for Speed ​​series, Call of Duty series, Fallout series...

All are famous.

For example, the sales volume of "Taiwu Painting Scroll" has exceeded one million, which seems to be good, but you must know that the size of this game is completely incomparable with the 3A masterpiece. What is its price? Only sixty yuan renminbi. Which 3A, don't sell for two or three hundred?

The sequel to "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2" needs to be sold at several times the price and ten times the sales volume in order to have a relatively good profit.

This is the first serious game work of Dimension Entertainment, and it will challenge this high level of difficulty when it comes up. For Dimension Entertainment, the challenge is very huge.

Marketing is one aspect, but in the final analysis, the most important thing is the quality of the work itself.

If you can't make a work of its own quality and excellent gameplay, it is impossible to sell 10 million.

No matter how good marketing is, it is a loft without its own quality support.

The efficiency of Luozhou Studio is quite fast.

In itself, the game has already achieved a certain degree of completion, and the integration of a beta version was originally planned. Now, the boss has to play it a bit and see the results of the investment. They quickly regard this integration work as their first task, and they quickly come up with results.

A little earlier than expected, Fan Zhe played this beta version.

The game has been installed on his computer.

At present, in the office, besides him, the four persons in charge who have been deeply involved in this project are also there.

In addition to the two chief planners of Eggplant and Gao Yixiang, Zhong Hua, the art director, is also there. In addition, there is another person named Chen Jue, who is responsible for the very important technology and AI builder in the project "Taiwu Picture Scrolls".

At this moment, they are waiting nervously for Fan Zhe's evaluation.

After opening the game, Fan Zhe, the first thing that catches the eye is a CG animation.

The main function of the animation at the beginning of the game is to serve as a sign of a game.

The famous "World of Warcraft", every time the expansion is released, its CG animation can cause a sensation-making CG with your heart and playing games with your feet. Although it is just a joke, the CG animation of others is indeed done. Awesome.

Other masterpieces of the game have also made considerable efforts in this regard.

‘Dimensional Entertainment’ has very unique conditions. If you don’t produce a huge CG, you are simply sorry for your own technical ability.

This ~www.NovelMTL.com~ took about three minutes to complete the whole process, which can be regarded as a relatively complete short film.

In the short film, what was shown at the beginning was a bustling street market.

Under the bright sun, brightly red ribbons fluttered on the buildings next to the spacious bluestone street. There were densely populated people. There were many shops on the street. Many hawkers were communicating with various customers, and there were quite a few people. Feeling loudly.

Not far away, a luxurious team came. Dozens of servants, carrying a large luxury sedan chair, came step by step; beside the sedan chair, there were many heroic knights defending.

Looking at the clothes on this team, Fan Zhe recognized that this was the person from the Fulong Altar drawn in the design draft.

That is a martial art.

The angle of view turns to the second floor of a pub on the side of the street. There is a man with a hat sitting at a balcony table.

As the convoy approached, he stood up, stepped on the leaning rail, suddenly jumped down, the sword light flickered in midair, instantly beheaded a guard, and rushed to the sedan chair.
