Chapter 231 The so-called gamble

After calculating left and right, this year, Weidu Entertainment's income is actually not as high as last year.

Last year, a film called "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" and two other relatively small projects, the company obtained more than one billion in revenue.

Although "Amber" has been a big hit this year, the size of the animation works is still unmatched with TV series, and it only earned 170 million yuan. However, "Amber" was made in seasons after all, and it was only the first season, and the days ahead are still long.

Although the yield rate of "Hell Apartment" is very high, the overall box office scale is still around 300 million to 400 million. Weidu Entertainment's income through this work is only about 150 million.

So far this year, the two works launched have brought more than 300 million revenue to "Dimension Entertainment". In addition, the long-term revenue of past works will not exceed 350 million.

This number is not as good as last year.

At the same time, spending money has become more fierce.

The investment in "Taigo Painting Scroll 2" exceeded one billion; the public investment in the two works "Amber Sword" and "Hell Apartment" also reached 50 million; there is currently a "Master of Martial Arts" with an investment of 50 million.

According to public funds, "Dimension Entertainment" is not enough to make ends meet, but it still relies on "Dimensional Technology" to transfusion.

But that's not what it counts.

The investments that are invested in will make money in the future.

First of all, let’s talk about the film and television drama "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts". With the foundation of "Fantasy Three Kingdoms", the quality is guaranteed, and the star lineup has been relatively improved by many levels. According to the estimate given by the company's commercial department, the lowest bottom line is 1.5 billion, and the expected value is more than 2 billion.

This project should be relatively stable. In other words, by next year, the marketing of Weidu Entertainment will be at least at least, and will be more than doubled compared to last year.

Large investment naturally requires big returns.

Speaking of big investment, "Weidu Entertainment" has another project that can be called a big bet, that is "Taiwu Painting Scroll 2".

The nominal investment scale given by this work is 1.2 billion.

In the future, "Taiwu Painting Scroll 2" will inevitably be launched on multiple platforms such as ps, xb, and pc. Ye Jiayi has already done related work. Its global pricing will inevitably look like the 3a masterpiece, about 60% of the standard version, 80% of the special version, and 100% of the ultimate version.

The pricing mentioned here is US dollars.

In the national region, the price may be slightly lower, but the standard version must be at least more than 200 yuan.

After all, the "Taiwu Painting Scroll 2" will sell at least four million sets, which can roughly reach a profit and loss point. If you count the issuance commissions and promotion investment of major platforms, the profit and loss point may double. If you want to have a relatively ideal profit, you may need to sell tens of millions of sets.

This is actually quite a lot of pressure.

The reason why it is said to be a big bet is that the current internal business department of the company is actually unsure of what achievements it will achieve in the end of "Taiwu Painting 2".

What is the concept of tens of millions of sets? The game sales can exceed tens of millions, and it is also a very rare work in the entire world of gaming.

"The Witcher 3: Wild Hunter", gta series, Need for Speed ​​series, Call of Duty series, Fallout series...

All of them are famous.

For example, "Taiwu Painting Scroll" sold over one million, which seems good, but you should know that the size of this game is completely incomparable to the 3a masterpiece. How much is its price? It only costs 60 yuan. Which 3a should not be sold for two or three hundred?

The sequel to "Taiwu Painting Scroll 2" requires a tenfold sale at a price of several times to achieve a relatively good profit.

This is the first serious game work of "Dimension Entertainment". It has to challenge this high difficulty at the beginning. For "Dimension Entertainment", the challenge is very huge.

Marketing methods are one aspect, but in the final analysis, the most important thing is the quality of the work itself.

If you can't make a work with excellent quality and gameplay, it is unlikely to sell 10 million yuan.

No matter how good the marketing is, it is an attic without its own quality support.

Luozhou Studio is quite efficient.

The game has already reached a certain level of completion. Integrating a beta version into a plan is what is planned. Now, the boss wants to play it first and see the investment results. They quickly regard this integration work as the first task and quickly come up with the results.

Even earlier than expected, Van Zhe played this beta version.

The game has been installed on his computer.

At present, in addition to him, four people in charge of this project are also present in the office.

In addition to Eggplant and Gao Yixiang, the art director Zhong Hua is also there. In addition, there is another person named Chen Jue, who is responsible for the very important technical and AI constructor in the project "Taiwu Painting Scroll".

At this moment, they were nervously waiting for Fan Zhe to give an evaluation.

After opening the game, the first thing that caught the eye was a CG animation.

The most important function of the game's animation is to serve as a game's signature.

The famous World of Warcraft, every time the expansion pack is released, its CG animation can cause a sensation - making CG with your heart and making games with your feet. Although it is just a joke, the CG animation is really good.

Other game masterpieces have also worked quite hard in this regard.

"Dimension Entertainment" has unique conditions. If you don't get a great cg, you're simply sorry for your technical ability.

This cg, the whole process took about three minutes to complete, is considered a relatively complete short film.

In the short film, what is shown at the beginning is a prosperous street market.

Under the bright sunshine, bright red ribbons fluttered on the buildings next to the spacious bluestone street. They were densely populated, with many shops open on the street, and many vendors were communicating with various customers, which felt like a crowded voice.

Not far away, a luxurious team came. Dozens of servants, carrying a luxurious sedan chair, walked step by step; next to the sedan chair, there were many heroic knights defending it.

Looking at the clothes on the team, Fan Zhe recognized that this was drawn in the design draft, the person from Fulong Hall.

That's a sect.

The perspective turns to the second floor of a tavern on the street, and there is a man sitting at the balcony table with a hat.
