The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

For Dimension Entertainment, "Ruzidi" is really not what they are good at.

The investment in this show is not small, and the key point is that it doesn't use the special effects technology of Shang Dimension Entertainment that has been praised by the outside world in the past years.

At the beginning, when deciding to invest in this project, Ye Jiayi once told Fan Zhe that if there was any work that would be the Waterloo of 'Dimension Entertainment', it might be this one.

Fan Zhe himself is not ignorant of these problems. However, he still made such a choice.

The main reason is that Fan Zhe likes the original work very much. He believes that the original work tells a very good story and is also very suitable for adaptation of film and television dramas. In terms of the plot, this kind of superficial dynastic change and the classic power struggle are rare in the domestic market.

Dimension Entertainment hopes that if this work can achieve the results of "Langya Bang", it will be satisfied.

In fact, the difference between the two is quite large. Although it is also an overhead history and also talks about "scheming", but in comparison, "Ruzidi" is much more realistic, and the overall style is darker and crueler.

The story told in "Langya Bang" is actually not Fan Zhe's style. He even hopes that through "The Emperor Ruzi", it will bring domestic audiences a more textured story about power struggle with an ancient Chinese background.

And now, the show is almost at the end of the day.

Inside the company, the premiere time of "Ruzidi" was set in mid-December.

This time is not set blindly. It is estimated that all the production work of "Ruzidi" will be completed before November. It was scheduled for mid-December, and that was to take over the "Martial Arts Master".

According to the current schedule, "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts" will probably be finished by the end of December, and then "Ruzidi" will be released, which will be followed by it.

The content of Emperor Ruzi is longer than the first part of "Martial Arts Master", and there will be 91 episodes. At that time, it will still be played at a rate of six episodes a week until April next year.

At that time, just take out the lower part of "Martial Arts Master", and it can be put on for another three months.

In this way, it can basically be guaranteed that before next summer, there will always be a main drama produced and released by Dimension Entertainment on the 'Dimension Platform', which will be played online.

However, the results of "The Ruzi Emperor"...Fan Zhe himself had no idea.

He has watched the film, and although it is not yet finished, he still feels very comfortable with the semi-finished product.

Leading actor Li Ze, in terms of appearance, he is no worse than Chen Yu, another major actor under Dimension Entertainment. Even when it comes to acting skills, Li Ze, who is older and has suffered in the statement, is even worse than Chen Yu. To be much stronger.

However, it is an indisputable fact that his popularity is far inferior to that of Chen Yu.

The main reason is that he doesn't have as many opportunities as Chen Yu.

In "Fantasy Three Kingdoms", one is the undisputed No. 1 male lead in the hit drama, and the other is a supporting actor with few roles; Chen Yu has participated in several other company's projects one after another through his great fame. Ze spent this period of time concentrating on polishing his acting skills; Chen Yu went on to film "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts", which was still popular all over the country, and he was still able to earn a lot of views under the paid mode. He got his chance to be the lead actor, and the movie was a success, but a horror movie like "Hell Apartment" naturally couldn't be compared with "Martial Arts Master" in terms of popularity.

But despite this, apart from him, there are no more popular actors in "The Emperor Ruzi".

Among the many characters, Dimension Entertainment will not use all newcomers. There are many characters that may look a little familiar, but it is an indisputable fact that there are no first- and second-tier famous stars.

The starlight is not as bright, the actors are not paid as much, and there are no special effects.

But despite this, "Ruzidi" still spent a budget of more than 200 million yuan. The reason for this is that it was all spent on the details of shooting.

From costumes, to scene construction, to the shooting of many, many details, the film "Ruzidi" has done a lot of work.

In the end, all of these are reflected in the work.

After watching the film by himself, Fan Zhe was very satisfied with the work of director Xie Peihe.

However, whether this film will be able to achieve sufficient success in the market is still unknown.

Its style, it should be said, is quite special in China. And, typically, from the content point of view, the goal of this film is not to attract female audiences. On the contrary, male audiences may be the largest audience for such films.

Of course, this is not necessarily the case.

For example, at the beginning, Fan Zhe felt that boys liked to watch "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" more. After all, the picture was cool, it was the theme of the Three Kingdoms, and it was a game adaptation, but the final result slapped him in the face. Generally, there are many more domestic dramas, but the number of female audiences still exceeds that of males by a lot.

In short, no matter what, the performance of "The Ruzi Emperor" ultimately depends on how it goes online.

As for the related publicity work, Wu Jingtong's marketing department is already working on it, and the most important publicity will be carried out intensively in early December, which is the eve of the work's launch.

According to the plan of the business department of 'Dimension Entertainment', they hope that the work "Ruzidi" can bring more than 3 million paying members to the company on the 'Dimension Platform', and its own sales can reach 5 million set.

If the goal can be achieved, "Ru Zidi" will bring Dimension Entertainment about 500 million in revenue, which also means that they will be able to reap more than 200% of the benefits from this film and television drama.

That would still be a very good return on investment.

In addition, the work is made by myself, the publicity is done by myself, the distribution is done by myself, and the platform is also my own. This means that every penny earned by "Ruzidi", including the previous "Martial Arts Master", is for Dimension's own entertainment, and there is no need to share anything with others except for paying taxes.

This is much more valuable than simply selling "Ruzidi" to others for five or six billion.

Don't look at money, but if users are the blood of the platform, then the content is the bones. Users always follow the content. Without good content, the platform cannot do well.

If "Ru Zidi" can achieve the predetermined goal, the more than 500 million yuan is just the direct income of the TV series. And the added value of the platform brought by it is an intangible wealth.
