Chapter 334 Eight major projects
Lewen Group was a little panicked.
They are giants in the online literature industry, which is true, but it does not mean that they have completely monopolized the industry.
There are also many other novel websites, and there are naturally some excellent novels.
For example, the "Demon Hunting Notes" and "The Snow Swordsman" that Weidu Entertainment just won.
Of course, the authors of these two works, "Yanyu Jiangnan" and "Beijinghuo Xi Zhuwu" were both old masters who left Qidian back then, but no matter what, these two works did not belong to the Lewen Group after all.
This move is quite meaningful.
Originally speaking, Lewen Group was not worried about others selling copyrights and making IP-oriented film and television and animation works. Although there are some excellent novels besides them, how can they compare to the leading boss in terms of total volume?
However, it is very worrying to be bought by Weidu Entertainment.
After Lewen has made many popular IP works because of Weidu Entertainment, he deeply knows how huge benefits it will bring after the successful film and television transformation of an IP.
They are not worried that their competitors have a popular IP, but they are very worried that behind this popular IP, it will bring huge help to other online novel websites.
This obviously may challenge their dominance.
It was precisely through this move that the instructions Kappa received had fundamental changes: from having to share profits later to trying to get as much as possible. If you really can't get it, you can buy it at a relatively generous price.
He re-started his contact with Dimension Entertainment.
Under such a premise, Fan Zhe also instructed Wei Han to re-engage with Lewen Group and restart copyright negotiations for multiple works.
However, until the copyright negotiations for these works have resulted, Weidu Entertainment's own project development work will not stop.
After the New Year, the company launched four different projects in total.
Two animations, one game, and one movie.
Those two animations are easy to say. Based on the current entertainment situation, starting a painting project will not involve a lot of manpower, material resources and funds. However, games and movie projects are different. There will be a lot of investment and a lot of manpower is required.
Including the two films "Master of Martial Arts: War" and "Demacia: Glory", there are six projects currently being started by Dimension Entertainment; including the third animation of "Amber Sword" that has been completed but has not yet been launched, and the movie "Hell Apartment 2", these eight projects may involve a total of nearly 5 billion yuan.
Of course, these 5 billion yuan naturally cannot be spent in one go. A lot of money is invested in batches, and like the movie about League of Legends, there are Penguin invested in it, not all investments in Dimension Entertainment. Including these investments, a large part of the post-production quotes for special effects production are reported to the "Dimension Technology", so it seems that the total value is nearly 5 billion yuan, but in fact, the money that really needs to be paid out is not that much.
But this is still a considerable investment. Opening up so many projects at the same time is basically the limit of Dimension Entertainment.
"Taiwu Painting 2" does make a lot of money, but overseas markets have to share money for the issuer. And all the other accounts, including taxation, operational costs, and promotional costs, are good enough to support the six projects that can be started at the same time.
Naturally, there is still a lot of money left on the books of Weidu Entertainment. However, at this point, many things will not come in a rash way. In fact, we must keep some funds to prevent emergencies and prevent risks.
...
One day in late February, during the company's lunch break, Fan Zhe specifically found Mile and went out for lunch together.
During the meal, Mi Le felt quite restless at the beginning. As soon as she finished ordering the dishes, she asked nervously: "That... boss, is there something wrong with "Amber"?"
She was very panicked.
The third season of "Amber" was almost completed before the New Year. After returning from the Spring Festival, after some of the post-production work was cleaned, the finished product was handed over, and two days ago, it had been handed over to the company's audit department for review.
Speaking of this, we have to mention the newly established "audit department" of Weidou Entertainment. The main task of this department is to review all works produced by the company, ensure that they can be completed on time, and to review the quality of works to ensure that they meet the standards. In addition, they will also cooperate with the company's government relations department to avoid the policy risks of works.
This department directly reported to the top leaders of the company, Fan Zhe and Ye Jiayi.
Now, the third season of "Amber" has just been handed over to the company's review department. In just two days, she was called out by Van Zhe alone. With Mile's lack of confidence, how can she not panic?
Fan Zhe also knew his old subordinate. He smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. There is nothing wrong with "Amber". No accident. The review results should be issued in the next two days. The operation department has already started to arrange the online work."
When Mile heard him say this, she felt relieved and her face became loose.
After serving, the two of them chatted casually about homework. Fan Zhe asked Mi Xiaoxiao, who had just started elementary school, about her recent study and learned that the girl is now a primary school master. Mi Le also asked Fan Zhe and Ye Jiayi when they were going to remarry. When they learned that it was just recently, she laughed happily.
In the second half of the dinner, we finally talked about the main business.
Fan Zhe said: "The company should have a reorganization next week. From the current development department, I will take out a 'animation development department'. I will leave this department to you."
Mi Le nodded cautiously and said, "Do you want to do all the animation-related projects independently?"
Fan Zhe looked at Mile in surprise. After he finished speaking, he was observing Mile's reaction. Originally, he thought Mile would refuse first, and even he had prepared a long speech, thinking about how to convince his old subordinate, but she didn't expect that she would recognize her readily and start asking about the work content.
It seems that after independently producing the third season of "Amber", Mile has grown a lot in terms of mentality.
Since that's the case, Fan Zhe was even more at ease.
He said: "Yes, the two projects that are about to be started, the animation version of "Hell Apartment" and the animation project of "Demon Hunting" are all based on the "Animation Development Department". The burden on you will be heavy next."
Chapter completed!
