The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

This question also annoyed Fan Zhe a bit.

How much money a person has is relatively insignificant. Even if the total annual salary is more than 2 million or nearly 3 million RMB, it is not something that Dimension Entertainment can afford.

But the problem is that this is a huge damage to the company's overall compensation structure.

Back then, when Fan Zhe tricked Zhong Hua into the company, the salary he gave was a million annual salary.

Of course, with the rapid development of Dimension Entertainment, Zhong Hua, as the company's top talent, has already seen a very large increase in income. His current annual income should be around three million.

As for Mi Le, as the head of the company's animation department, the veteran of the company when it was first established, and Fan Zhe's loyal old subordinate, her annual income can reach nearly three million.

And among the ranks of artists, there are only two of them in the whole company who can earn such a high income. Zhong Hua is really capable, and Mi Le is not bad, and is now considered one of the company's top managers.

And between the two of them, the artist with the highest income only has an annual salary of over one million yuan. For example, the appearance of Sun Yilang, Luo Qi and so on. The level is very high, maybe second only to Zhong Hua's appearance, plus he is a veteran of the company, so he can get a high income of one million annual salary.

Now the situation is very clear. If an artist is recruited from the outside, if his salary is not cut, his income will reach the level of Zhong Hua and Mi Le in an instant, and he will become one of the top salaries in the company.

Why?

Even if the level is really good, but like Zhong Hua, he is extremely strong and has made great contributions to the success of many projects in the company. After that, the salary quickly rose to nearly three million with the bonus and salary increase. level.

The one named Lin Wo, who came here without making any contribution, could directly get an income of about three million. What do people like Zhong Hua, Mi Le, Sun Yilang, and Luo Qi think?

What's more, after seeing Lin Wo's works, Fan Zhe didn't think he was particularly powerful. It may indeed be a little better than Sun Yilang, but it may still be a little bit behind Zhong Hua's level.

Fan Zhe pondered for a while, and then said: "Old Gao, you should go back first, this matter is relatively involved, I will ask the HR side to discuss a regulation before deciding. You can continue to keep in touch with Lin Wu, but don't Make any promises."

"Okay." Gao Yixiang agreed.

...

After Fan Zhe told the HR side about this matter, he was immediately entangled in another job.

It is related to the script of the big movie "Taiwu 2".

Before, in order to carry out bundled marketing, and at the same time Fan Zhe’s content department really wanted to make a movie about martial arts, so Luozhou Studio came up with an idea, saying that it was to use a certain player The stories that happened in the course of the game are adapted into movies. All players can export their own texts in the game during the event, upload them to the event page, and then all players will vote to select the top ten, and they will share 100,000 US dollars , and the first place will have the title of 'Most Popularity King', and will receive a separate reward of 50,000 US dollars.

Of course, the scripts voted by the players may be the most interesting, but they may not necessarily be the most suitable for adaptation.

Therefore, when Dimension Entertainment planned this event at the very beginning, it left a backup——Dimension Entertainment will choose the most suitable game archive from the top 100 voting results, and give 200,000 A reward of US dollars, and then adapt this archive into the script of the movie "Taiwu 2".

This event has been online for more than half a year, and the final selection has come to the last moment.

And at this time, Fan Zhe was very fortunate that he had left behind. The situation that I was worried about before has indeed appeared.

...

Old Bandit Zhao's live broadcast room has become more and more popular recently.

Previously, when "Taiwu 2" was launched, he was one of the first batch of people to do the live broadcast of "Taiwu 2". He took advantage of it and allowed him to jump directly from the second-tier anchor to the first-tier level, becoming a first-tier anchor The anchor of the rare stand-alone game in China.

Later, after doing too many live broadcasts of "Taiwu 2", there is always a time when I will exhaust myself. Although the content of "Taiwu 2" is very rich, the audience and users are all liking the new and disliking the old. After watching a game for a long time, they will get tired of it.

After realizing that her popularity has declined, she also tried to make changes, such as finding some other high-quality games for live broadcasting.

However, the grades dropped even worse.

After all, although "Taiwu 2" has been online for a year, there has still not been a game with the quality of "Taiwu 2" in this year.

And when it comes to the live broadcast effect, no matter it is other online games or open world sandbox games, there is no game that can compare with "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2". "Taiwu 2" has excellent graphics, beautiful battles, and many ways to develop characters... These characteristics are secondary. The most important thing is that in the world of "Taiwu 2", every game is different. I don't know what kind of situation this world will develop in the future under the auspices of AI.

This is the most attractive part of this game when doing live broadcast content-rich content.

But even so, he still has to try to make new content, otherwise the audience will not buy it.

However, after the gimmick of "Taiwu 2" as a movie script came out, he immediately grasped the business opportunity-it was very gimmick to do it.

And he did.

After preparing for a period of time, he put on the title of "Road to Movie Script" in the live broadcast room, and ran to start his game career.

In order to ensure a good live broadcast effect and get enough votes in the popularity list, he played more 'unrestrained' this time.

First, he chose a male character, and then entered Shaolin, where he became a traitor who deceived his master and exterminated his ancestors. As soon as he came here, he became a villain.

I have to say that old thief Zhao is really talented in this area, the funny effect is very good, there are constant laughter in the live broadcast room, coupled with the gimmick of voting, and the gimmick of choosing game archives as movies, let his live broadcast room The results have further increased.

At the same time, his constantly updated record on the activity page has also received the support of many people and won a lot of votes.

At the end of the "Taiwu 2" campaign, his tickets came to the top of the popularity list.

Although, he has carefully studied the rules of the event, and learned that it is not possible to be selected as a movie script just by ranking first on the popularity list. People's Dimension Entertainment has to choose one of the top 100 game records. Even, he also realized that he messed up too many things in this game world. If he really wanted to make a movie based on his game records, the things he made would probably become a movie. Comedies are not only funny, but they will definitely not pass the review-the values ​​​​are too inappropriate.

However, this saved a wave of his live broadcast room, not to mention that the number one on the popularity list also has 50,000 US dollars - counting hundreds of thousands of yuan, it is not a small amount of money.

The most important thing is this title, which is actually also valuable, and it is also very helpful to his live broadcasting career.

Therefore, he is quite caring.

When it came to the deadline for the 'Script Event', Old Thief Zhao finally confirmed his position on the popularity list - indeed number one.

This time I let go of a lot of heart.

...

"Mr. Fan, this is a batch of game archive records that we have initially screened out. They have already been made into a document of the outline of the story. Please take a look at it when you have time. These things have been preliminarily identified by the screenwriting department and have also been rated. , you can also refer to it when you are watching."

The person who came to report to Fan Zhe was none other than Eggplant, the chief planner of the 'Luozhou Studio'.

"Okay." Fan Zhe responded, and then looked at the document that was sent to his computer screen.

Ranked from the screenwriter's rating, Fan Zhe saw that the first place was actually an American player's ranking.

This person's name is Allen, and then he saw his ranking in the popularity list during the game activities-ninety-seven.

First scan the content roughly.

The story is very orthodox. The protagonist is a man who entered the Sword Forging Villa, grew up in it, experienced many stories, and then killed the last incarnation of Xiangshu.

And in this process, there is growth, love, and love for children, and the whole story has a "chivalrous spirit".

After reading the outline of the story in this game archive, Fan Zhe probably also understood why the company’s screenwriter department gave this game archive a rating of A, and also knew why his archive was maintained for a long time. Among the archives, it can only be ranked 97th.

If it is a commercial film, this very orthodox approach is of course easy to adapt. The main characters mentioned in the synopsis of the story are full-bodied and have their own characteristics; the protagonist is a young hero with many stories and grievances; even in love, they are more touching. The elements needed for a commercial film have basically been assembled. As long as it is well adapted and written, it will be an excellent script of high quality.

However, it is precisely because of this that it is definitely difficult for him to get a good result in the vote of the popularity list.

There is nothing ruthless about the whole story, so there is nothing to attract people who eat melons. It is very difficult to get everyone to come and vote.

In fact, if this archive is not because the emotions written in the story, especially the aspect of love, are really touching, then it is basically impossible for him to get the top 100 level.

Fan Zhe then looked back, and the archives ranked in the front basically all have this kind of characteristics: orthodox approach, worthy of adaptation.

Of course, the reason why the file played by this American guy named Allen was able to rank first in the screenwriter's comments was naturally better than other high-scoring ones.

And later, when Fan Zhe used the ranking of the popularity list to filter the content, he discovered another feature.

That is, game archives that can rank relatively high on the popularity list, the most important feature is that they are 'interesting' enough. This interesting may refer to the Taiwu Jianghu, which is special enough - this is normal, after all, the game world of "Taiwu 2" is completely randomly designed with AI, and there will indeed be some small probability events that will happen , There are some particularly weird rivers and lakes.

For example, if there is an archive that ranks seventh and eighth, that Jianghu seems very strange. The head of Emei is an ugly and bad old woman - that's fine, but the key is that the 'Master Miejue' is a bisexual plus a sex addict. Putting these two features together creates a lot of particularly curious stories. The protagonist is still a female disciple, who went in and went through some "shameful" stories, and became a direct disciple of the "Master Miejue".

And when it came to the file with the first place, that person Fan Zhe still had a little impression: old thief Zhao! A well-known game anchor, especially likes to do the game content of "Taiwu Painting Scroll 2".

I roughly glanced at the content of the live broadcast he made. The protagonist, as a Shaolin disciple, messed around in the sect. His behavior can be called "deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors". Then he betrayed Shaolin and started doing all kinds of evil. The evaluation given to him by the AI ​​of the game is that he is a 'weird gangster'. In his archived records, there are so many things that make people laugh and cry, or laugh until their stomach hurts. And it is precisely this feature that makes the archived story of old thief Zhao become the number one in the popularity list.

Of course, as a popular anchor, he also has a large number of fans and a large amount of traffic. Of course, these are also the main factors that can help his archives to rank first in the popularity list.

And a story like this, of course, cannot be adapted into a movie—it doesn’t matter if it’s turned into a comedy, and it’s not impossible for novelty-oriented movies to succeed. However, the key point is that due to the problem of values, it is difficult to pass the review of relevant departments in China.

If it can't pass the review and can't be released in China, then no matter how "interesting" the story is, it will be meaningless.

Fan Zhe watched the outlines of these stories, and at the same time communicated with the eggplant who was by his side from time to time.

Those inappropriate archives were basically passed. In the end, the final choice made by Fan Zhe was basically in line with the opinions given by the screenwriting team——Alan's archive was indeed good.

Of course, there is actually another archive of similar quality, which belongs to Chinese players.

After some consideration, Fan Zhe finally chose the American—the martial arts theme of "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2". There is no obstacle in domestic promotion, but it is not easy to do in overseas markets. And the original player of the archive is an American, so of course it will bring some help when promoting it in North America.
