The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

Chapter 67 IP fever

Time hurriedly came to the end of January the following year.

The second season of “Full-time Master” has already been completed and has been delivered to Lewen Group. According to Lewen’s plan, the second season of “Full-time Master” will be officially launched during the Spring Festival.

Actually speaking, the second season of “Full Time” is already a skipped ticket. At that time, the contradiction between Lewen and the two production parties caused a serious postponement of the second season, which should have been launched long ago, and had to make a special article to deal with the past.

But Fan Zhe is happy to see it happen. If there is no such thing, this project will have nothing to do with him.

At the moment, all the power of ‘Dimensional Entertainment’ is placed on the animation production of the second season of “Special Event Task Force”, which also makes this project progress rapidly.

Fan Zhe originally estimated that the second season of “The Task Force” could be completed in March, but it seems that it will be done soon after the year.

So far, the two seasons of “Project Team” animation copyright sales have brought ‘Dimensional Entertainment’ a total of 15 million in revenue.

In addition to the production costs for the production of “Full Time”, the financial pressure of the entire company has been properly resolved.

According to the agreement between ‘Dimensional Entertainment’ and Station B and Penguin Video, they are required to complete the promotion and launch of the animation of the second season of “Special Event Task Force” before mid-March.

By the time, ‘Dimensional Entertainment’ should have already started the production and negotiation of the third season.

The price obtained in the third quarter will never be lower than that in the second quarter.

Dimensional Entertainment has entered the right track of benign development, and the development speed is very fast.

Now Fan Zhezheng’s Eight Classics is about the development of the next work.

It’s always bad to sit on the mountain and eat empty.

Now, “Dimension Entertainment” is still quite rich.

After the delivery of “Full Time”, the subsequent 6 million production fees have also been paid, and the remaining 1 million will not be settled until the work is online; the 3 million for the first part of “Project Team” has already been paid, the first In the second quarter of 10 million, 30% of the deposit has been credited to the account.

Include the money that will be made in the third season of “Project Team” and the profit of the special effects production project of “Magic Shadow Wars” that may be won…

The cash flow of “Dimension Entertainment” should be relatively healthy, at least the previous financial crisis has been properly resolved.

In the foreseeable future, at least six months to one year, there should be no gaps in the company’s normal development and project funding.

I have money in my hands, so I have to consider how to spend it.

Fan Zhe has a general idea-buy copyright.

Since the concept of ‘IP’ was hyped up, this thing has completely become popular.

A work, from novels to comics, animations, to film and television… The development of full copyright can maximize the commercial value of a series.

On a global scale, the most successful of this thing is undoubtedly the superheroes of Marvel. Starting with “Iron Man” in 2008, Marvel’s total box office of superhero movies has exceeded 14 billion U.S. dollars, and the commercial value of superheroes is incalculable even after a large number of peripheral developments.

For the time being, Fan Zhe is not able to play that big, but he quite agrees that IP adaptation will become the main force in the creation of future entertainment products.

I have money in my hands and buy a copyright. This should be reliable.

With the ‘dimension’ system, Fan Zhe has the ability to put any work on a small screen or a big screen. The only difference is whether the original work is suitable for adaptation? Is there any potential for adaptation?

The first thought in his head was to buy from Lewen Group.

Lewen Group is now the content upstream of the country. It has two content platforms, ‘Qidian’ and ‘Penguin Read’, and countless excellent novels.

In the past, Fan Zhe liked to read novels on ‘Start Point’ very much, and his enjoyment of novels is no less than games or movies. Even the time spent on reading novels is more than the latter two.

Especially after work, it’s hard to spare a whole block of time at once to watch a one or two-hour movie or play games. Novels, which can be read at any time, put down at any time, and can be read in fragmented time, are very suitable.

Fan Zhe often reads novels, and he is a deep fan. In his impression, there are many very good works, which he likes very much.

At the beginning, when he was reading novels, he often couldn’t help but look at some works with his professional eyes. He is an artist himself, so he often fantasizes about the characters and monsters in books, if they become serious pictures, what will they look like?

Sometimes when he is not busy, he draws fan paintings and personages as his own personal exercises.

And now, with the ‘Dimension’ system in hand, coupled with the ‘Dimension Entertainment that he built with his own hands, although it has only been half a year, it has already shown some development strength. Then, it is no longer an extravagant hope to make those works that I liked very much into animations, TV series, and movies.

He called Kappa and made an inquiry about several works he wanted very much.

He has prepared tens of millions of funds and plans to buy several works to enrich the copyright library of Dimension Entertainment.

However, some quotations from Kappa poured cold water on him.

“Huh? The film and television copyrights of “Budo Master” and “The First World” cost 10 million each? Not all copyrights? Kappa has been working together for more than half a year. Why are the prices like this!”

“Don’t complain.” Kappa said, “It’s the price. And, don’t you make animation? Isn’t it enough to buy animation copyright? You have to have all the copyright. Just buy an animation copyright, I am the master, Two sets of three million will be packaged and sold to you.”

Fan Zhe sneered, and said, “You think I’m stupid? After you buy it, make it into an animation, and then you follow behind and don’t have to make money for nothing?”

It’s a well-known thing that you don’t make money in animation. “Special Events Task Force” is not counted, look at “Full-time Master”, the first season of animation is like that, with nearly 100 million views, isn’t it still barely recovering the cost?

Animation has become popular, and the other copyright developments that follow are the main ones.

Spend money to buy an animation copyright, and then make the animation popular. Watching Lewen holding other copyrights, and reaping profits later?

Fan Zhe doesn’t do this kind of thing.

“Hey…” Kappa was over there for a bit of fun, and then said: “Otherwise, you can use a cooperative approach. If you shoot things, we will be responsible for the announcement and distribution, and the benefits will be calculated at that time.”

“Wait for my consideration.”
