The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

Chapter 437 The second half of the year

This year is the year of Dimension Entertainment’s rule.

From the “Taiwu Picture Scroll” released in the summer file at the beginning of the year, to “The Hunter” and then to “Fearless Assault”, Dimension Entertainment has contributed three high-quality commercial films to the Chinese film market. These three movies are just the box office on the mainland market, and they have already exceeded 10 billion in total, not to mention the first two, and there are really good overseas box offices.

However, in the second half of the year, Dimension Entertainment was a little silent in terms of movies.

In the past six months, they basically have no film works to continue to release.

The closest one of their movies will have to wait until the Spring Festival.

At that time, there will be a “Demacia: Dragon Blood” released, which is the sequel to “Glory”.

This is also a film that many people are looking forward to, and it’s not just domestic audiences who are looking forward to its arrival. There are fans of it in all major regions of the world, waiting for it to be released.

It may be a little different from Marvel’s “Avengers” series, but it’s almost like that.

However, although there are no movies to be shown in the second half of the year, Dimension Entertainment does more than just movies.

During this time, they have two more works to be launched one after another.

The first is the series “Fantasy Three Kingdoms 4”, which was launched on the “Dimension Platform” during the summer when “Fearless Assault” was still in theaters.

This drama is based on Yu Jun Odin’s game work, “Fantasy Three Kingdoms 4”. It inherits the world view of the previous “Fantasy Three Kingdoms” created by Dimension Entertainment, but the whole The world background and timeline are roughly in the middle and late stages of the Three Kingdoms, which looks like a few decades later than the previous work.

There are still many people who are looking forward to this drama. After it goes live, the reputation is good, but there will still be some criticisms.

Among them, the most frequently cited is the comparison between this one and the previous one.

“To be fair, the production quality of this film is basically the same as the previous one, but it does not mean that this film has no room for criticism. On the contrary, the quality similar to the previous one is the most critical point. Dimension Entertainment is in this series. Go, a little bit reluctant to make progress.”

That’s about the opinion.

But in fact, for Dimension Entertainment, this in itself is their goal.

When “Fantasy Three Kingdoms” was taken out as the second film and television development, the company established the initial idea of ​​the project, which was to maintain the production scale without increasing investment costs, and the work was positioned to face a young audience.

This itself is also determined by the story core of the “Fantasy Three Kingdoms” series. The picture style is biased towards the sunny and relaxed type; the story style is also biased towards the youth and sadness. This large-scale production itself is not particularly suitable.

Of course, if you want to do it, you can, but it’s not necessary. If you want to get a big theme, some other stories and other IPs can be chosen.

Now this “Fantasy Three Kingdoms 4”, in the goal of Dimension Entertainment, is positioned as a small-scale work, facing young audiences, and then popularizing artists under Dimension Brokers.

The effect of the last one is actually quite big.

People like Chen Yu and Wu Na will definitely not be able to come back to perform works like the “Fantasy Three Kingdoms” series. It is not necessary to find other big names, so it is more reliable to use them as newcomers to train. of.

Of course, Dimension Broker did not put all the main roles into its own actors.

The protagonist is an actor under the Dimension Brokerage. Yes, it is a young guy named Yan Baifeng. According to Dai Weidong, this should be one of the better-quality actors among their trained actors. He debuted for two years, and is in others. Among the film and television works, he has also experienced experience, and he also played a small role in the film “Taiwu Picture Scroll”.

The heroine is a girl from another company.

There has always been an influence from the outside world, that is, Dimension Entertainment seems to be incompatible with the mainstream film and television circles, as if to look down on others.

In a sense, this is indeed true. Dimension Entertainment does not need to look for too much investment from other places. Some investment institutions are rushing to give them money, and they are also very rich. In terms of film and television production, they have been established through the production of multiple works. A mature team that has risen up; in terms of distribution and publicity, they also have several molecular companies of their own, and they are also becoming increasingly mature…

In addition to the theater chain, they have formed a closed loop in the film and television industry. From project establishment, investment to completion of production, they do not need to cooperate with other companies.

This is the main reason why the outside world feels that they are isolated from the entertainment industry.

But in fact, they still have a lot of normal business cooperation in the circle. Dimension Entertainment has never felt that they don’t need collaborators. In fact, they have cooperated with the outside world in almost every work.

The most clear thing is that they will use other people’s actors, and at the same time, the actors of Dimension Management will also participate in works produced by other companies.

It’s not that no one has thought about engaging in something like an industry alliance to block Dimension Entertainment.

But it doesn’t make sense.

First, the dimension is not afraid, and no link can be moved by others; second, there are very few people who can respond to advocating this thing. How good is it to make money with Dimension Entertainment, and do the right thing if you are full. Isn’t that a problem?

In this context, Dimension Entertainment itself does not mind, and exchanges some interests with other companies that have a friendly relationship .

This kind of interest-exchange relationship may be far stronger than the so-called’mixing in the same circle’.

Capital can easily betray feelings, but it can never betray interests.

The series of “Fantasy Three Kingdoms 4” came first, and the results were pretty good, and the broadcast volume was quite high.

Dimension Entertainment also understands some other thoughts in the operation of this work.

After studying some market reports, the relevant commercial and operating departments believe that this series is not suitable for a single episode charging business model like “Budo Master”.

Ever since, they made a decision. The complete works of “Fantasy Three Kingdoms 4” contain 92 episodes. The first five episodes are completely free, while the rest of the content is free for members.

It seems that the decision to cancel the single purchase will reduce the ability of “Fantasy Three Kingdoms 4” to generate direct revenue. However, it can be used to attract a large number of users, and even convert a large number of ordinary users into paying users. It’s really uncertain which way to make money and which way to lose.
