Chapter 189: The Final Season
The development of "Taiwu Painting Scroll 2" took half a year, and the current completion rate is about 20%, which is almost the same as the initial expectations. It is estimated that the development process of the entire project will take nearly two years, with an investment scale of 1.4 billion rmb.
A total of first-tier investments have been completely converted into US dollars, and it also has a development scale of more than 200 million yuan.
Such investments are even much more than many 3A masterpieces in the United States.
Of course, most of this money will be invested in dimensional technology in the name of art resources, engine development, etc. Otherwise, if you really invest 1.4 billion, Dimension Entertainment will not be able to get it.
Despite this, the actual investment of Weidu Entertainment in this game will reach more than 200 million yuan, or nearly 300 million yuan.
This money will be gradually spent in the entire two-year development cycle.
Fan Zhe’s current schedule will be relatively stable for a long time to come.
I mainly focus on the work of "Taiwu Painting Scroll 2", and I will also take some time to pay attention to the project of "Hell Apartment".
However, there is a question about the latter. Tang Zhiqi is now running for the filming license for that movie. Before the license is released, the project team of "Hell Apartment" will only maintain its current scale, and the appearance of two or three screenwriters and two artists will not increase. Once it is confirmed that it cannot be obtained... the project team will be disbanded.
After all, if you cannot get a shooting license or a registration, the film will not be released under the current domestic policies.
Fan Zhe can accept that the project investment failed and the box office failed; but it is impossible to invest in filming when the movie cannot be released.
That's not in compliance either.
Another part is to take classes at Shenghai Drama Academy.
...
This relatively regular and regular routine lasted for about three months with Fan Zhe.
These three months have been solid and steady.
Fan Zhe also adjusted his sleep habits. He went to bed peacefully at twelve every day, got up at 8 o'clock the next morning, washed up and went to work, and had breakfast.
Tianjian is pitiful, Fan Zhe can't remember how many years ago it was when he could have breakfast every day and lasted for a month or two.
His living habits have never been considered healthy.
And this period was time, something quite important happened.
The fourth season of "The Full-Time Master" is officially launched.
With the preparation of the previous seasons, the reputation and popularity of this IP in the animation industry have become a phenomenon in Chinese comics.
Perhaps, in the past season one and special episodes, it can only be considered a masterpiece of Chinese animation. In an era when domestic animation production is constantly rising and excellent works are constantly emerging, it can only be considered one of the excellent works, and it is not even a very top-notch one.
However, things became very different when Dimension Entertainment took over the project.
The entire production level has instantly reached a higher level and is getting better and better.
The number of views in the first season remains at seven million per episode; the second season produced by Weidu Entertainment after taking over has reached more than 10 million per episode; the third season has ended so far, and the total number of views has exceeded 300 million, and the number of views in a single episode is more than 20 million...
Compared with online dramas, this data is much less water and cannot be judged by a single evaluation system.
In the fourth season, because there was a big hole buried at the end of the previous episode, it was also a very exciting plot point when it was filled in at the beginning of this season.
Coupled with the accumulation of popularity in the past, the fourth season began with a huge explosion.
The first episode, with 28 million views on the first day, setting the best result at the beginning of this series.
At the same time, the evaluations from all parties in the industry have also come out, and Yishui's praise is positive.
Judging from the number of fifteen episodes, the final playback volume of this animation is conservatively estimated to reach 400 million or 500 million. If you predict it in a bolder way, the final result may not be able to exceed 1 billion.
This is quite terrifying data.
The project team that led the "Full-time Master" animation was so happy that they were almost crazy!
As the leader of the project, Kappa is of course very happy, which is another major achievement under his command.
However, while he was happy, the regret in his heart became even deeper.
Seeing his subordinates celebrate, Kappa hesitated again and again, not telling the news that Weidu Entertainment had already confirmed that it would not participate in the production of the next season.
I have also booked a restaurant tomorrow and am going to have a celebration banquet together. If I talk about this now, it will affect the atmosphere.
If you make everyone happy, you can only be happy for this period of time.
Sighing slightly, he returned to his office and turned on the computer.
On his computer desktop, a document that has not been completed is placed here.
Kappa sat upright in front of the computer, with her hands on the keyboard, ready to complete the document.
However, with his current mood, he could not press a word.
The document reads a title: "How can I continue to advance the project while Dimension Entertainment is no longer involved in the production of "The All-Time Master" next season?"
He wants to write the document for the boss to read. No matter what, he always has to write it out.
However, he really couldn't figure out what to do.
I'm afraid he can't convince the documents he wants to write next, so how can he convince the boss?
He doesn't know.
...
Kappa's troubles are caused by the fact that after Weidu Entertainment no longer takes over the production of "The Full-Time Master", the quality of the work will inevitably decline sharply.
This problem is the root cause.
The promotion and distribution strategy of "The Full-Time Master" has never changed much. The reason why it has become such a popular domestic animation product like this is the variable lies in quality.
When the quality drops, there is no need to be much, even if it is better than the first season, due to the previous comparison, this will become a fatal problem for this animation project.
The solution is very simple, just do not worse than this season.
But, how easy?
In China, which animation factory can have such a production level?
Tickling his head, Kappa couldn't find a second one.
This is the most unsolvable part of the problem.
The fourth season of "The Master of All Time" will be broadcast in March. When all of them are broadcast, I will probably go in May.
During this period, neither Weidu Entertainment nor Lewen Group announced that it would no longer cooperate.
The latter does not want this news to affect the performance of this season. Weidu Entertainment mainly breaks up peacefully with Lewen Group, and there is no need to go up and make trouble when the animation is still popular.
Chapter completed!
