The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

At present, all departments of Dimension Entertainment are very busy.

Immediately after the animation of the fourth season of "Full-time Master", the second season of "Evolutionary 4.6 Billion Ensemble" is also finished.

In the first season of this animation, the flavor of popular science was very strong, but later on it has a little bit of a shift to science fiction.

And in the second season, especially at the end of the second season, it is even more obvious.

At present, the commercial department is running this film.

In the case of previous cooperation experience, Dimension Entertainment first contacted Jiang Anhong of Central Satellite TV.

In estimation, the problem should not be too big. After all, with the results of the previous season as a base, the second season will not be worse.

Tang Zhiqi went to Shangjing to deal with it last time, and it was the same this time.

After the meeting, while exchanging greetings with Tang Zhiqi, Jiang Anhong also said that when "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" came out, he actually wanted to make some efforts to push out those who could buy the show. However, he is still in charge of the two channels of children and science and education, and the general channel has little say. Moreover, CCTV's purchase of the series was not simply to watch the future popularity of the series, there were still many things to consider, so it was a pity that it failed.

Regardless of whether Jiang Anhong's words were sincere or not, at least the gesture he put on had fully demonstrated his goodwill.

This is very basic in terms of cooperation.

Soon, the film passed the review directly, and it was decided to broadcast it on the children's channel and popular science channel.

As for the price, it is much higher than in the first season.

But the so-called much higher is actually not much higher. At best, the income is only a few million. This amount of money is not enough to make Dimension Entertainment particularly interested.

The reason why I continue to be on the TV station is just to spread the work through this more mass media and strengthen the influence of the work. At the same time, if cartoons appear on TV stations such as China Central Television, then the various policy discounts that can be won in the future will also become smoother.

The most simple and crude one is the subsidy for domestic animation. In this regard, Jiang Anhong also worked hard to help, otherwise, Dimension Entertainment would not sell animations cheaply.

With this subsidy and the selling price of the TV station, they barely made nearly 10 million yuan.

It doesn't seem like much, but it's not bad to have such an income. The main purpose of selling to CCTV is not to seek some direct income, but to expand the influence of IP through this platform and bring more value to other derivative copyrights.

As for the copyright of online broadcasting, the income situation is far more impressive than that of TV station broadcasting.

The 20-episode "4.6 Billion Ensemble" sold 30 million for the exclusive broadcast rights on the Internet, and Bilibili and Penguin Video jointly bought it.

Since the establishment of Dimension Entertainment, the cooperation with these two parties has been relatively close, especially Penguin Video.

In addition, other derivative copyrights of this work have also arrived to be renewed, re-authorized, or have the possibility of further expansion.

Especially when it comes to toys and games.

Dimension Entertainment has released the news that the second season will be broadcast soon. According to Ye Jiayi's budget, as long as the performance of the work is acceptable, the company will earn about 50 million yuan in the next year through derivative copyrights.

Adding up all the zeros and zeros, the total income of the second season of the work "Evolutionary 4.6 Billion Ensemble" is estimated to be hundreds of millions, most of which is in the development of derivative copyrights.

This is actually pretty amazing.

Of course, as an animation work, "The Evolutionary 4.6 Billion Ensemble" is far inferior to "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" in its ability to attract money, but there is also a huge gap between the two in terms of volume.

However, the income of "4.6 Billion Ensemble" is long-term, and it will take longer to recover slowly.

Speaking of long-term benefits, a month ago, the overseas copyright of the first season of "4.6 Billion Ensemble" was also released. At the same time, the second season's plan to go overseas has also been negotiated. In total, about two to three million US dollars can be exchanged, which is not bad. And if the play effect of this work is also very good overseas, then there will be something to be done in the copyright development of overseas derivatives.

Overseas copyright development is still an aspect that Dimension Entertainment has never touched, but Ye Jiayi has great ambitions. Dimension Entertainment has tried to operate its own works independently. It is indeed much more tiring than entrusting others to do it, but the benefits are also higher. Larger and more controllable.

The same is naturally true when it comes to overseas copyright operations.

In the early days, some overseas copyright owners came to Dimension Entertainment, hoping to introduce several of their animation works.

The price given was neither high nor low, but Ye Jiayi didn't sell it, at least not in the main target markets.

Now, Dimension Entertainment has established its own divisions in Japan and Southeast Asia.

There are not many people in the two branches, just three or two kittens, and their main job is to be in charge of copyright operations abroad.

Their work has yielded results. The broadcasting copyrights of "Special Events Task Force" and "4.6 Billion Ensemble" have been sold, and they are operating successfully.

"Task Force" is okay, but it has a certain market in Southeast Asia. Because the content is a bit high-end and black various foreign countries, it is not easy to export. Only in some individual countries, such as South Vietnam, the culture is relatively similar to China, and the overall economy and culture are relatively dependent on China, so it is more convenient to export.

For example, when I went to Japan, this work was basically cold, and no operators liked it.

But the situation is different in the work "The 4.6 Billion Ensemble of Evolution". The first popular-scientific concept film is easy to sell in any country, and because of its wide audience, it has indeed achieved some good broadcast results.

In addition to animation, Dimension Entertainment focuses more on operating overseas copyright works, which are actually "Fantasy Three Kingdoms".

The work "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" naturally has no problems in terms of quality. Although the mode of operation is not the way of high-quality season broadcasts like American dramas, the quality of the 46 episodes will not be worse than that of American dramas.

Due to world background, cultural factors and other reasons, it may be more difficult to introduce "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" to places such as Europe and the United States.

Therefore, the European and American copyrights and Dimension Entertainment were all sold by agency at once, and the price was not particularly high, and a little bit of mosquito meat was also good.

However, on the entire East Asian plate, the signboard of "Three Kingdoms" is still very useful.

In South Vietnam, Japan and other places, the divisions of Dimension Entertainment are actively making progress. At the same time, in South Korea and the entire Southeast Asian region, the copyright operation of this work is also actively underway.
