The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

That afternoon, the media team of CCTV came to the hotel and started the interview in the living room of Fan Zhe's suite.

The team's photographers, assistants and other staff arranged the scene, and the leading reporter looked about 27 or 28 years old, with a straight face, just like a 'CCTV face'.

He came forward with a smile, shook hands with Fan Zhe, and introduced himself: "I am a reporter from China Central Television, Yuan Ran."

"Hello."

"This interview is a bit rushed. I sent you the outline before. I wonder if Mr. Fan has read it?"

"I've seen it, there's nothing wrong with it."

"That's good. Later we will basically follow the outline, and I won't ask any inappropriate questions. You can rest assured. We are flying back to China tonight. I estimate that the interview will take place in a few days. Will be able to go in soon.”

"Thank you for your hard work."

After chatting for a while, the filming arrangement for the interview was quickly completed.

The two sat on the sofa separately, and the interview officially started.

An interview didn't take too long, it only took about an hour and a half. After the end, the two sides shook hands, and then Li Zhen also took the group of CCTV to have a meal together.

Fan Zhe and Ye Jiayi didn't go, there's no need for them to condescend to this kind of dinner.

...

Yuan Ran, a reporter from Central TV, had a meal with Li Zhen and others, and then hurriedly embarked on the journey back home.

For them, this interview with Fan Zhe was a complete accident.

Of course, China's policies and environment in cultural industries such as games, comics, and movies tend to be relatively conservative compared with the mainstream of the world. But in the end, everything is moving towards being more open and inclusive. Even if there are some repetitions, sometimes the car will be reversed, but overall, it is still making progress.

For example, for the E3 exhibition, China's top official media such as China Central Television also sent a reporting team this year. The content about E3 will also be released in the evening news broadcast.

This is actually a display of attitude.

Before Yuan Ran came to E3 this time, he saw the name of Dimension Entertainment on the press conference list, and knew that this company was from China.

However, he didn't pay much attention to it at first.

Although he had heard of the company 'Dimension Entertainment' more or less in China, he didn't know much about it. He only knew that it was a film and animation company, and he had never seen any of their works.

Such a company suddenly made a game and then went to E3, Yuan Ran was very disapproving of it at first.

Many domestic companies like to do this very much. Make a game, spend some money, think of a way, put it in such a famous exhibition abroad, and even get a small award for it, and then use it as a name, go back to China to make a big splash, export it Domestic sales, a stable batch.

In fact, not only games, but many industries like to play like this.

In Yuan Ran's view, Dimension Entertainment's so-called "Taiwu Painting Scroll 2" is probably the same number.

Ever since, Yuan Ran, as the reporting team sent out by China Central Satellite TV, mainly focused on the E3 exhibition itself, and it was over after a comprehensive report.

Unexpectedly, during the "garbage time" at the end of the press conference before the show, Dimension Entertainment brought a huge surprise to the whole world.

Yuan Ran immediately realized the huge news value contained in this.

"A silent and unknown Chinese company in the game industry, the new work shocks the world!"

"Promote Chinese traditional martial arts, the best pioneer in cultural output!"

"On the art in games, the best embodiment of Chinese culture!"

...

He thought of many possible titles at once.

So, he immediately found a way to contact Dimension Entertainment and sent out an invitation for this interview.

Holding the finished material, he returned home happily.

...

Being delayed for a day, Fan Zhe simply accompanied Ye Jiayi to wander around Los Angeles at night and slept in a room at night.

In another day, Ye Jiayi will continue to stay in the United States, negotiating with various overseas agents. As for Fan Zhe, he will embark on a journey back to China and continue filming "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts".

The current filming progress of "Martial Arts Master" is already very tense. The difficulty of shooting martial arts scenes is much higher than expected. Blindly advancing the speed can easily lead to injury to the actor, and the shooting will stop when he is injured; if he takes care of the body, it will either reduce the difficulty of the movement and reduce the effect, or spend more time shooting slowly.

Even if a stand-in is used, it is impossible to use all the shots. In order to ensure the effect of the film, many shots still need the actors to take part in the battle.

If he hadn't had the foresight to find a professional and reliable sports medicine team in advance, this matter would have been even more troublesome.

After he went back this time, he was going to stay in the crew with all his heart and not care about world affairs until all the filming work was over.

It is estimated that it will go in August anyway.

...

After Fan Zhe returned to China, Ye Jiayi calmed down and started negotiating with all parties.

The remaining development and finishing work of "Taiwu Painted Scroll 2" can be completed in half a month or a month.

Ye Jiayi hopes that before then, the release of "Taiwu 2" can be discussed.

Dimension Entertainment has spent too much money recently. Especially for the acquisition of Xinmo Media, the investment of more than one billion yuan is all real money.

In fact, this can be regarded as a big bargain. If Xinmo Media is doing well, if you want to win this company, you will have to pay at least three to five billion yuan. Even in the end, Xinmo Media's film library and copyright library were stripped off. Dimension Entertainment can complete the acquisition at a price of about 1.5 billion as long as it has a distribution system.

After the acquisition of Xinmo Media, the company's original debts were also transferred to Dimension Entertainment. However, this part of the problem is not particularly big, and some of it is solved by financial means.

The premise is that Dimension Entertainment can continue to succeed.

The second season of "Amber Sword" and the third season of "Evolutionary 4.6 Billion Ensemble", the launch of the two works has already solved the company's urgent need for funds.

And if you want to continue to maintain the expansion speed and make this year's revenue report look better, then "Taiwu 2" cannot be missed.

On the day Fan Zhe left the United States, Ye Jiayi completed contact with EA and UB.

EA gave Ye Jiayi a bad feeling. Although the price they offered was good, the agency fee reached 30 million U.S. dollars, and the share ratio was 30 to 70 percent of the industry standard, and the publicity investment was 70 million...

However, their attitude obviously lacks further sincerity.

"This is our final offer. Any game company can't refuse our offer. You should think about it carefully. I believe that if you are smart enough, you will accept it."

After these words, it almost blocked the room for further negotiations, as if it was an ultimatum.

In contrast, although UB's quotation is lower, its attitude is more sincere and better, at least the possibility of further negotiation.

If we continue to talk, maybe we can get better conditions from UB than EA.

However, on the third day, when Ye Jiayi had just finished talking with UB representatives and was relatively satisfied with their conditions, the people from Activision came.
