Chapter 67 IP Fever
Time flies to the end of January of the following year.
The second season of "The Full-Time Master" has been completed and has been delivered to Lewen Group. According to Lewen's plan, the second season of "The Full-Time Master" will be officially launched during the Spring Festival.
In fact, the second season of "Full Time" has already been considered a delay. At that time, the conflict between Lewen and the two producers of the previous and next generations seriously postponed the second season, which should have been online long ago, so I could only make a special episode to deal with it.
However, Fan Zhe was happy to see that this was successful. If that was not the case, this project would not have anything to do with him.
At present, all the power of "Dimension Entertainment" is placed on the animation production of the second season of "Special Events Task Force", which also makes the project progress very quickly.
Fan Zhe originally estimated that it would be good if the second season of "Task Team" could be completed in March, but it seems that it will be done soon after the New Year.
So far, the animation copyright sales of the two seasons of "Task Team" have brought "Dimension Entertainment" a total of 15 million revenue.
Coupled with the production costs of producing "Full Time", the financial pressure of the entire company has been properly resolved.
With the agreement between "Dimensional Entertainment" and B station, Penguin Video, it requires them to promote and launch the animation of the second season of "Special Events Task Force" before mid-March.
By then, "Dimension Entertainment" should have started the production and negotiations for the third season.
The price you get in the third season will definitely not be lower than that in the second season.
Weidu Entertainment has entered the right track of healthy development and is developing very fast.
What Fan Zhe has to consider now is about the development of his next work.
It is always bad to sit in the mountains and eat empty space.
Now, "Dimension Entertainment" is still quite rich.
After the delivery of "Full Time", the subsequent production fee of 6 million yuan was also received. The remaining one million yuan will not be settled until the work is launched; the three million yuan of the first part of the "Task Team" has already been received, and the 10 million yuan in the second season has already been deposited into the account.
Including the money that can be earned in the third season of "Task Team" in the future, as well as the income from the special effects production project of "The Legend of the Magic Shadow" 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 half a year to one year, the company will develop normally and develop projects, and there should be no gaps in funds.
If you have money in your hands, you have to consider how to spend it.
Fan Zhe already has a general idea - to buy copyright.
Since the concept of ‘ip’ has been popular, this thing has become completely popular.
A work, from novels to comics, animations, to film and television... the development of full copyright can bring the commercial value of a series to its limit.
Globally, the most successful thing about this thing is Marvel's superheroes. Starting from "Iron Man" in 2008, to the present, the total box office of Marvel's superhero movies has exceeded 14 billion US dollars. Including a large number of peripheral developments, the commercial value of superheroes is immeasurable.
For the time being, Fan Zhe is not able to play that big, but he agrees quite well that IP adaptation will become the main force in the creation of future entertainment products.
If you have money in your hands, you should buy a copyright. This should be reliable.
With a 'dimensionality' system, Fan Zhe has the ability to bring any work to a small or large screen. The only difference is that is whether the original work is suitable for adaptation? Is there any potential for adaptation?
The first thought in his mind was to buy it at Lewen Group.
Lewen Group is now a major upstream domestic content, with two major content platforms: "Qidian" and "Penguin Reading", and there are countless excellent novels.
In the past, Fan Zhe liked to read novels on "Qidian". He had no less fun with novels than games or movies. He even spent more time reading novels than the latter two.
Especially after work, it is difficult to take a whole piece of time to watch a one- or two-hour movie, or play games well. This kind of entertainment method that can be watched at any time and put down at any time and can be read in fragmented time is very suitable.
Fan Zhe often reads novels, and he can be regarded as a deep fan. In his impression, there are many very good works that he likes very much.
At the beginning, when he was reading novels, he often couldn't help looking at some works with his own professional perspective. He was an artist himself, so he often fantasizes what some characters and monsters in the book would look like if they became serious pictures?
Sometimes he is not busy, he will draw some fan paintings, character designs and other things as his own personal practice.
Now, holding the "dimensional" system in hand, coupled with the "dimensional entertainment" he established, although it has only been half a year, it has shown some development strength. Then, it is no longer a luxury to make the works that I once liked very much into animations, TV series, and movies.
He called Kappa and asked for some of the works he wanted very much.
He has prepared tens of millions of dollars in funds and plans to buy several works to enrich the copyright library of "Dimension Entertainment".
However, some of the quotes given by Kappa poured him a few basins of cold water.
"What? The film and television copyrights of "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts" and "The Lord of the One" cost 10 million each? Isn't the full copyright? We have been working with Kappa for more than half a year, so why is the price like this!"
"Don't complain." Kappa said, "It's the price. Moreover, aren't you doing animation? Isn't it enough to buy animation copyright? I have to ask for full copyright. Just buy an animation copyright. I'll make the decision. Two movies are packaged for three million to sell to you."
Fan Zhe sneered and said, "You think I'm stupid? After buying it, it will be an animation, and then you can follow you and make money in vain?"
It is well known that you don’t make money by making animations. "Special Events Task Force" is not counted. Look at "The Full-Time Master". The animation in the first season became so popular, with nearly 100 million views, so isn’t it still hard to recover the cost?
The animation has become popular, and other copyright developments that follow are the big ones.
Spend money to buy an animation copyright, then make the animation popular, watch Lewen and hold other copyrights, and reap profits later?
Fan Zhe didn't do such things.
"Hehe..." Kappa laughed there and continued, "Otherwise, it's okay to go through the cooperation method. If you shoot things, we will be responsible for the promotion and distribution. Then we will calculate the income."
Chapter completed!
