The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

Chapter 89: Mythology Project

"Full-time" has great potential in terms of style and content, but it can’t hold back that this is someone else’s project. The commercial potential of this IP in the future, no matter how big it is and how much money it makes, has nothing to do with Dimension Entertainment. , They just make a production fee if they die.

   And "Project Team", limited by the original style and the special style of the animation project selection, the upper limit of the performance of this work is not high, and the ceiling effect is obvious. No matter how good a future sequel is, it will be difficult to get too much improvement on the existing basis.

   But in any case, these two projects, in the long run, even if they do one each year, they will have a steady income of tens of millions.

   Fan Zhe did not give up the idea of ​​these two projects, but it is definitely impossible to increase investment.

In his idea, the third season of "Full Time" has been discussed. In the fourth quarter, if the price is right, he will continue to do it. After all, it is a cash flow. The overall content of the "Project Team" project is planned for about six seasons. , It is expected to be finished in two to three years. In the follow-up, if I will make an animated film to make a wave of money, the live-action drama should not be considered.

   No matter what, these two projects are estimated to be able to provide nearly 100 million yuan of funds to ‘Dimensional Entertainment’ in the next two years, and they will not give up.

   With this money, I will have more confidence to start other projects.

   At the same time, the work "Evolutionary 4.6 Billion Ensemble" will have obvious ceiling restrictions. However, if Tang Zhiqi wins the place in the "Science and Education Competition" in Beijing, she might be able to make a lot of money.

   This project is still going to be done, but Fan Zhe is considering that if Dimension Entertainment wants to go to a higher level, does it need a more popular work that will be more acceptable to the audience?

   There is no such work in the copyright that ‘Dimension Entertainment’ currently holds. The only "Hell Apartment" that has not yet entered the development process is still a horror and thriller.

   has no copyright, how about self-made?

   It’s not impossible to create a completely new copyright of its own, and there are many desirable subjects.

   In this regard, Fan Zhe has always had an idea-to be a traditional Chinese myth.

  The most famous of the ranks of traditional mythology is Journey to the West. There are countless works derived from this subject. There are those who are doing poorly, and there are also those who are doing very well.

   But Fan Zhe's idea doesn't stop there.

  The traditional myth is not just Journey to the West.

  According to the current understanding of Fan Zhe, from the perspective of the entire Chinese history, it seems that it can evolve into a mythological system.

   In addition to Journey to the West, there are a large number of works, and I have also tried to construct this aspect of the content.

For example, the themes of the prehistoric, from the preaching of Hongjun, the opening of the sky in Pangu, the war of the lich, the creation of human beings by the Lich, the war of the three emperors and the five emperors, the war of the gods, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, the fundamentals are also from the Romance of the Gods and Journey to the West. Ji and a series of vernacular romances, novels evolved.

   From the myths of the Primordial Era before Xia, Shang and Zhou, there are many, many things that can be unearthed; and when it comes to Conferred God, it is a magnificent age of mythology.

   evolves further down, is it possible to extract a lot of mythological elements from the controversy of a hundred schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period? Linking subjects such as Taoism, Law, Confucianism, and Mohism to higher-level myths will also be a very vital subject. "Qin Shi Mingyue" has been explored here, but Fan Zhe believes that the content of this part can be dig deeper.

Later, "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" represents the connection between the themes of the Three Kingdoms and mythology; Journey to the West introduced both Buddhism and Taoism into it during the Tang Dynasty; and then there are folk myths like the White Snake, such as "Liao Zhai". works……

   These series of traditional myths are connected, and they are actually traceable, and each has its own representative works. Among these masterpieces, there are traditional myths created by ancients and products processed and produced by modern Chinese.

   But in general, Fan Zhe believes that this era still lacks a sufficiently influential work that can connect all these things to form a complete mythological system.

This work, using text as the carrier is not enough, and animation can’t hold up. The best model is still to learn from the West. Like Marvel, several blockbusters a year are released, creating a box office of more than 10 billion U.S. dollars. , With the uncountable manifestation of IP value, only then can such a system be built in a true sense.

   There is no doubt that even if you hold the ‘Dimension’ system in your hand, this is a hell-level difficulty.

  For example, for external export, for reasons known to all, the domestic has a good acceptance of Western fantasy themes such as magic and knights, but traditional Chinese myths are not so easily accepted by the Western market.

   And even in China, it is difficult to play this set.

  The first one is the copyright issue.

  This copyright does not mean what copyright Fan Zhe needs to make this thing. Wu Chengen has been dead for hundreds of years, and he can't find where his ashes are. Can he jump out and ask Fan Zhe for copyright fees?

   However, ~www.wuxiahere.com~ is precisely because of this, the problem will be bigger.

   Fan Zhe can be used, and others can naturally. A character like Monkey King is fine, but what if it is a character that is relatively less well-known to the public? For example, Dimension Entertainment has become popular with characters such as'Emperor Jun', but they are used by others, which would be very annoying.

   Of course, the direct misappropriation of images, or even lines, must be infringing; but it is just such a name, and the image is a bit like but not exactly the same. How to judge this kind of role originating from traditional mythology? This can be very troublesome in judicial practice.

  The content problem is also very serious.

   In traditional Chinese mythology, the system is very chaotic. There are just a few Gods of Light, Donghuang Taiyi, Dijun, Dongwanggong, Haotian God, Ziwei the Great, Jade Emperor... All these will be fainted. There is no standard setting and lack of recognized works to illustrate. It is very difficult to make.

   What's more, in the story, there is no ready-made one to use. It is not enough to do well in light special effects. For art works such as movies and animations, storytelling is indispensable, otherwise the previous "Zhong Kui Fu Mo" will end.

   The risk of original scripts is much higher than that of adaptations based on the hot IP that has become popular. The latter has the original copy anyway, and the former says that the coolness can cool to the South Pole.

   But no matter what, Fan Zhe is still quite excited about this big plan.

  This matter, of course, has all kinds of difficulties and all kinds of troubles, and it will make a very vast project.

This is a big plan. Fan Zhe is going to stand up first. As a long-term, backup plan for the company, it cannot be made in a short while. It is better to do it slowly and accumulate slowly. Wait until the future becomes stronger, and then do this. Content.
