The Fantasy Entertainment Empire - Chapter 406
At night, Fan Zhe, who was sleepy playing games, lay on the bed.
After a while, Ye Jiayi also came after taking a shower.
While changing her pajamas, she said, “Penguin Pictures brought up a new idea. They want to start a new League of Legends story. I hope we can support the project.”
“Huh? Isn’t the Dragon Blood project already approved?”
“But they still want to open a new one.” Ye Jiayi said, “They saw the huge commercial potential of this series from “Glory.”
“Did they say anything about driving?”
“They want to open the story line of the ice shooter.”
Although Ye Jiayi does not play games and is not interested in League of Legends, she is a professional manager. In the League of Legends series, the cooperation with Penguin Pictures is currently one of the company’s most important series of projects. Competent people, of course, will work hard to understand the relevant information of this content.
On the fist side, including the penguins themselves, they seem to have a special preference for the hero of the ice shooter.
This is one of the first heroes of the League of Legends game. At the same time, Riot has put a lot of energy into the ice shooter Ashe when making the corresponding worldview settings. Including the first full-length comics in the LOL series, they also collaborated with Marvel to launch the “Aish War Mother” series.
Let’s not talk about the reaction of the comic itself, but it actually shows their attitude—the first character they want to develop in depth should be Ash.
In fact, it’s easy to understand. Ashe’s role is set to be a magnificent person. In Freljord, where disputes are constant, she is committed to promoting peace. She shouts every day, “As long as we are united, no one will suffer.” Kind of lines.
Moreover, Ashe herself is a woman, which fits well with the political correctness of the current feminist trend.
According to these factors, it is normal for Fist and Penguin Pictures to push this hero as the first attempt to develop LOL copyright in depth.
Earlier, after Dimension Entertainment and Penguin negotiated the cooperation, the meaning of Penguin was that the first part suggested to be Freljord, with Ashe as the protagonist, but Fan Zhe rejected it and started instead. The story line of Demacia.
This time, they once again put forward corresponding ideas.
Fan Zhe thought carefully and said, “Let me think about it first.”
“Yeah.” Ye Jiayi nodded, “You have the final say on the content. But the Penguin is very urgent to make a decision as soon as possible.”
“It’s urgent to see making money.”
Ye Jiayi smiled and said: “That’s for sure. They also said that if we have financial difficulties, they can even bear most of the investment in the production of this new film.”
“Is it difficult?”
“No.” Ye Jiayi said.
Calculated with a production cost of 100 million U.S. dollars, Dimension Entertainment will not have any difficulty in investing in a film of such a production level.
They can now almost be called the top companies in the domestic comprehensive cultural and entertainment industry. Films, games, animations…The works produced are all very popular.
Only in terms of revenue, few companies can compare with them.
Moreover, it seems that the investment cost of various projects is high, but with the support of the ‘dimension’ system, it is actually quite cheap. The flow of funds on the accounts, from the Dimension Entertainment has a large and large production cost, as a project cost, transferred to Dimension Technology.
However, Dimension Technology will inject funds into Dimension Group in the name of investment, and then Dimension Group will send to its many subsidiary companies, such as Dimension Entertainment responsible for project production, Dimension Technology responsible for actor brokerage, and various overseas distribution companies. Companies, to make capital injections.
These operations are a set of things that Ye Jiayi made according to Fan Zhe’s requirements, and it is roughly such a thing.
Of course, Fan Zhe didn’t understand many details of the operation. He just listened to Ye Jiayi’s explanation, including some explanations from the legal department.
In Dimension Group and all its subsidiary companies, all equity is held in Fan Zhe’s own hands. The transfer of funds within the group is subject to very little supervision and relatively small restrictions.
All in all, Dimension Group is very rich.
Their wealth is not reflected in any assets, or they have strong cash flow.
This is better than anything else.
For this reason, Dimension Entertainment has no scruples when carrying out various projects. As long as you don’t play too much, you can do more than 80 episodes of “Lord of Mysteries” at a cost of 12 million US dollars in a single episode, then there will be no problem.
Like in the old days, they would have made too much strides and encountered some financial crises, but now it is unlikely that similar situations will occur.
For many companies, no matter what the industry, the most common problem encountered in the process of development and expansion is the problem of capital. The usual solution is nothing more than financing and borrowing. Even many start-up companies start from the company, and the whole goal is to obtain financing. It is also a good thing for the founding team to take the money and leave.
And Dimension Entertainment has never been.
No financing; debt borrowing was done after Ye Jiayi joined the company because of project funding pressure, but Dimension Entertainment did not have any pressure to repay the project and borrow money.
Up to now, even borrowing is basically unnecessary.
Penguin is still thinking about opening more projects. Dimension Entertainment has no capital to invest. That is pure dreaming.
According to the agreement between the two parties ~www.mtlnovel.com~, the power to start the project is in the hands of Dimension Entertainment. Penguin has the right to make suggestions, and there are corresponding restrictions, that is, how long it takes Dimension Entertainment to open a project. Delayed too long.
But obviously, it’s definitely not procrastination now. “Glory” has just been released. Projects for “Dragon Blood” and “The Hunter in the Dark” have been set up, and the filming of the latter is about to be finished.
It may even be a bit urgent to establish a new project.
Fan Zhe asked this question.
Ye Jiayi thought for a while and replied: “In fact, it’s okay. According to our market research, the success of “Glory” has largely attracted the interest of the audience. For this series of films, the market is still very urgent. I hope to see new films. If the project is set up now and it is released next year, it will be nothing more than three films in two years. Not only is it not too much, but it may still not be able to fill the market demand.”
“That’s good.” Fan Zhe raised his eyes and looked at the clock as he said, “It’s late, go to sleep.”
“Yeah.” Ye Jiayi lay beside him.
