Chapter 359 Huge Investment

No matter what kind of discussion and evaluation it was encountered after "Hell Apartment" was launched, it was a week later that the operation department of the "Dimension Platform" roughly evaluated the work.

First of all, the number of clicks is very good, which means there will be a certain amount of advertising revenue; secondly, with Wu Jingtong's efforts, using the long animation "Hell Apartment", the "Dimension Platform" has also gained a lot of new annual memberships during this period. Although the number is not too large, only about 20,000 to 30,000, it also represents a few hundred thousand income. Moreover, according to estimates, the final expectation of "Hell Apartment" is to increase paying users by about 100,000, so that the light annual membership can earn millions.

These can only be considered additional value. The main goal of "Hell Apartment"'s long animation, which is to fill the exclusive content of paid members, has also been achieved.

According to the current data, about 60% of the annual membership have been clicked on this work based on other reasons such as being interested in this work or simply being curious.

Although this data, although not high, almost covers a large part of active paid users.

For the long animation "Hell Apartment", the early goals have been achieved. Let's see how many people are willing to watch it for a long time after the long-term serialization.

At the same time, the sales of this work overseas and the development of animation peripherals are also in progress.

Although "Hell Apartment" has more than 100 episodes, the investment is not high and the manpower is not used. When it comes to the 'dimensional' system, the calculation level initiated is also relatively low.

In this way, the cost of the work is still acceptable. The average cost of a single episode is about 200,000 yuan, and if it takes about 100 yuan to complete the work, the total cost is about 10 million yuan.

The initial goal of all investments, Weidu Entertainment is to bring a better experience to paid members, so even if you don’t make a penny, it’s not too big. Just treat it as advertising. Anyway, Weidu Entertainment has money, not less than ten million.

However, now, the new paid members attracted through works and various peripheral copyright marketing seems to be... this is like not only losing money, but also making some money.

Of course, even if you make money, you won’t make much, at least not as good as most of the works before Dimension Entertainment.

But even so, it is still quite comfortable.

Although the long animation of "Hell Apartment" is another new work launched by Dimension Entertainment, it is indeed not a key point among the company's many development projects, and it is just a gossip at best.

Among the works that Dimension Entertainment is producing, each of them is much more important than the long animation of "Hell Apartment".

At present, the company is about to launch, or is currently producing or has already launched projects, and there are a total of six works.

An animation is an adaptation of Yanyu Jiangnan's novel "The Demon Hunting". This animation should be the highlight of this year's animation department of Dimension Entertainment at that time. The budget for a single episode is 33 million yuan, which is equivalent to about 5 million US dollars. The total budget for ten episodes of a whole season is more than 330 million yuan. With such an investment cost, only Dimension Entertainment can afford to make an animation.

The key is that they can still operate, can make money, and even make a lot of money.

For other companies, there are many entertainment companies that may have corresponding operating capabilities around the world, but those who have the courage to spend money like this are only Weidu Entertainment.

The other one is a game: "Steam Ming". This is a genuine original and is also the one that invests the most among the many projects established by the company. The total budget of the entire project reached 1.3 billion yuan, which is almost 200 million US dollars.

More importantly, in addition to the investment in books, the real capital that Dimension Entertainment really has to pay is also a lot of money. Games, especially this top 3A masterpiece, are undoubtedly a comprehensive art. In addition to visual things, from designers, planning, copywriting, music... these items are indispensable or missing from top games.

The 'dimensional' system can handle the most difficult visual work for "Steam Ming Dynasty", but art design, and everything else, are all done by Dimension Entertainment itself.

After they made a "Taiwu Painting Scroll 2", they did have a lot of accumulation, but no matter how much they accumulate, if they want to create such a game, they only have one word: money.

If you don’t have money, what kind of 3A masterpiece can you make? If you have money, then you’ll be fine.

The remaining four movies are all movies, namely "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts: War", "Demacia: Glory", "The Night Hunter", and "Taiwu Painting Scroll".

The investments of these four movies are not small. "Demacia: Glory" is the highest, reaching 800 million yuan; followed by "Taiwu Painting Scroll" and "Dark Night Hunter", both of which are invested 650 million yuan. The smallest investment is the movie "Master of Martial Arts: War" that looks like a little over 500 million yuan.

The total of the six projects has been added up, and Weidu Entertainment has invested more than 4 billion yuan. Not counting the payments to "Didu Technology", more than 1.5 billion yuan has been lost.

Of course, each of these key investments and key production projects is more important than the long animation of "Hell Apartment".

With this investment of tens of millions of dollars in "Hell Apartment", it doesn't matter whether you make money or not. The key is to see whether these key projects can achieve the expected goals. This is important.

At present, the first key work to be launched is the movie "Master of Martial Arts: War", starring Chen Yu and directed by Du Zhengde.

At present, the series "Master of Martial Arts: Two" has been played to the end.

From the first part of this drama, last summer, to the second part of this spring, this drama has set off a 'martial arts' craze across the country. People who have never seen this work will be looked at by people, thinking that the other party is separated from modern society.

Taking advantage of the end of "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts: Two", the movie "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts: War" that will be launched will naturally attract huge attention.
