The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

Regarding the overseas market situation of "Martial Arts Master", Fan Zhe also received news.

"Based on this calculation, what is the estimated total income of the upper part of "Martial Arts Master" by the end of the year?"

Facing Ye Jiayi, Fan Zhe asked this question.

"The overseas market is 300 million, the domestic TV drama copyright is 250 million, and the current online sales are more than 700 million. It is estimated that it will grow to 800 to 900 million by the end of the year. If calculated in this way, the total revenue should reach about 1.4 billion. .”

"That's not bad, much better than expected." Fan Zhe stuffed a piece of bread covered with jam into his mouth, and said quite satisfied.

The two of them are eating breakfast at home now.

How to put it, the two of them are now the bosses of a top content company in the industry, with annual revenue of several billion, they must be regarded as rich people.

Although Fan Zhe usually doesn't have any special requirements for food, drink, clothes, etc., but for comfort, he still spent money to buy a house in a villa area not far from the company.

The main body of the house has three upper and lower floors with an attic. The overall style of the house is relatively modern, with large French windows, separate floor heating, and a swimming pool with a garage for three cars next to it.

It's a mansion.

It would cost hundreds of millions to buy the whole house, and the annual maintenance fee was still a sum of money.

As for the renovation, it is left over from the previous generation of homeowners. When buying a house, Fan Zhe met him. He was a very stylish old man. He used to be in the art business, and he sold his house and planned to go abroad.

Fan Zhe and Ye Jiayi felt quite satisfied with the decoration style of the whole house, so they didn't change it, only changed some new home appliances, furniture and other things.

In the past, Fan Zhe always felt that he didn't care much about where he lived, as long as there was an air conditioner, a bed and a net, and it wouldn't be cold or hot, and it would be over.

Later, when I bought my own house, I felt that I could make decisions about my own home, and I could decorate it as I wanted. It was more spacious than when I was renting a house, so the whole feeling was different.

Now, living in a luxurious villa, the whole environment is so comfortable that it makes people feel completely different.

The family hired a nanny, and there are ready-made breakfasts when they get up in the morning, soy milk fried dough stick buns, there are; hot milk, bread, jam and pork chops are also available.

Eat breakfast and go to the company, drive back for about ten minutes at noon, still have a nap, wake up for a swim, go to the company around three in the afternoon, work and life will not be delayed at all.

Very comfortable.

It was about 8:30 in the morning, and the two of them were preparing to go to work. It was normal for them to talk about work while eating.

Ye Jiayi said: "As expected, if "Martial Arts Master" operates independently, the domestic revenue can reach 500 million targets, and the overseas revenue can reach 200 million. Now, the total calculation is about 1.4 billion, pure monetary income. It shouldn’t be worse than selling it directly at the beginning. Moreover, it paved the way for us in the future.”

"Well, in your estimation, how many will there be after "The Emperor Ruzi"?"

This time, Ye Jiayi didn't answer quickly.

"Don't you like it?"

"I can't tell you the content. After all, I'm not an expert in this field. You have more say than me." Ye Jiayi hesitated for a moment, and then added, "However, I probably read "Ru Zi Di", and it is similar to our previous style. , it's completely different, I...would be a little worried, and the investment in this show, to be honest, isn't too small."

Fan Zhe asked: "Just from the perspective of investment or business, what standard do you set for this drama?"

"500 million." Ye Jiayi said.

This number looks the same as "Martial Arts Master", but in fact the difficulty of completing it is completely different.

The upper part of "Martial Arts Master" was used as a pioneer when the "Dimension Platform" was poor in terms of video content. Starting from scratch, setting a performance standard of 500 million yuan is actually very difficult to complete.

But the situation faced by "Ruzidi" is completely different. "Martial Arts Master" has already opened the way, and it is a success beyond expectations. With this, the environment faced by "Ruzidi" is much more friendly than that of "Budao".

Under such circumstances, the performance target is set to be the same as that of "Martial Arts", which is enough to show that Ye Jiayi and the business department she leads are really not that good-looking for "Ruzidi".

"The setting is quite low." Fan Zhe said, "However, in comparison, I am more optimistic than you. I think we must do something different. I watched the content of this drama, and I think it is very Well, although there are not so many cool special effects, the plot, filming, character creation, etc. are all top-notch, and it should not be difficult to achieve the goal of 500 million."

Ye Jiayi sighed slightly, and said, "I hope it will be like what you said...By the way, how is your talk with Du Zhengde going?"

What she was referring to was the film project "Budao Grandmaster: Flames of War".

The filming of "The Master of Martial Arts" was already decided when the TV drama project was approved.

At that time, the suggestion given by the commercial department was to make greater use of Chengdu's IP advantages. If the performance of the TV series can meet expectations, then it is best to make a movie and take advantage of the east wind to expand the value of IP copyright.

This suggestion was approved by Fan Zhe.

At present, judging from the upper part of the "Martial Arts Master" movie, the results have basically met expectations. That being the case, the film project should be put on the agenda.

Fan Zhe has no plans to direct this movie himself. The director is done after two addictions. As one of the bosses of the company, he basically needs to control all the content development of Dimension Entertainment. If he devotes himself wholeheartedly to one of the projects and becomes a director, he will not be able to take care of other projects.

Fan Zhe is not the director of this film himself, so naturally he has to find someone from outside.

The first thing he thought of was Du Zhengde.

I have had cooperation experience, and the other party is also an old comrade in the industry, and the recent development is also good.

Du Zhengde, who fell into a slump in his career after encountering Waterloo in "The War of Shadows", came back to life in a blink of an eye after filming "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" under Dimension Entertainment. When the spring breeze was triumphant, he took over the filming of "The Legend of Dragon and Tiger" produced by Huayi. The heroine was still Wu Na, and the final box office results were also good.

Successive successes have made Du Zhengde one of the better-developed directors among the newly emerging directors in the past two years, and he even vaguely intends to enter the ranks of first-line directors.

This is in line with the requirements of Dimension Entertainment.

Dimension Entertainment's production is not like before, but it still has to deduct the budget and cannot afford to hire big-name stars and directors. Now, get the best of the best!
