The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

Chapter 446 Secretive

Next, this year, Dimension Entertainment will have two LOL-themed movies released, namely “Rune War” and “War of Standing Upright”.

The former will be released in the summer, and a specific date has been set, and even the current publicity work for the film has already begun.

“War of Standing Upright” will be released in the second half of the year, and the current release is in November.

These two films are still crucial for the League of Legends series.

Although the LOL series has achieved considerable success in the global film market, from the current point of view, the stories of the three films released are all set in the country of ‘De Marcia’ in Runeland.

For the next two movies, the perspective will jump away from ‘De Marcia’.

This is the first step in the outward expansion of the worldview of the LOL series in movies. The former will use heroes such as Ryze, Lacus, and Ezreal to venture around the continent of Valoran and expand the entire world setting; while the latter will focus on Noxus and Ionia. Two in the content of LOL, in a war in a country that is also very important.

Of course, this kind of jump is not directly opening up a brand-new battlefield to tell a brand-new story. That way, the risk is still too great.

Dimension Entertainment has also adopted certain methods and means to avoid risks when planning the content of these two parts.

The heroine of “Rune Wars” is Lacus, and her sense of presence in the previous work, especially in “Dragon Blood”, is still quite high. It should still be acceptable to have such a familiar character to unfold a new story.

As for the latter, the Noxian Empire has already appeared in the first “Glory”. The story of the villain in this first work is believed to be able to attract many people.

The investment in the two films is also quite different.

The investment scale of “The Battle of Standing Upright” has reached 900 million yuan, which is about the same level as “Glory” and “Dragon Blood”. After all, this film involves the grievances and hatreds of the two countries and the main epic. It is difficult to express the essence of the work without spending enough money on works with a sense of subject matter.

For “Rune Wars”, the investment scale is much smaller, not even as good as “The Hunter in the Night”, with a total investment of 430 million.

There shouldn’t be much scenes in this film. The actors are basically young people and newcomers. There are no big names. The biggest expense is still in special effects.

…

And this year, in addition to these two LOL series of movies, Dimension Entertainment will of course have some important works online.

The first to bear the brunt is the “Lord of Mysteries” that will be launched in April.

The production model adopted for this drama is a way out of the current domestic TV dramas, where the whole drama is filmed first before looking for a buyer or online on its own platform. “Lord of the Mysteries” adopts a similar operation method, which is similar to that of American TV series, and is broadcast on a quarterly basis.

The first season of “Lord of the Secrets” only has ten episodes, but it costs a lot of money.

On average, with an investment of 45 million yuan in a single episode, the cost of each episode is almost enough to make a small and medium-sized movie.

But in this case, the crew of “Lord of Mysteries” is also a bit stretched. Except for most of the money invested in the production of post-production special effects, the rest is also a considerable expenditure on clothing and the creation of the Victorian background.

In the original investment, it is not enough to pat.

Later, Dimension Entertainment had to continue to invest more.

Until now, the total investment has almost reached 600 million yuan.

After conversion, the investment in a single episode is about 60 million, which translates to nearly 10 million dollars.

This scale of investment can be considered a big investment even if it is included in American TV dramas. Generally speaking, the production cost of a normal American drama is two million US dollars an episode; “Game of Thrones” has grown from six million US dollars an episode in the first season to 10 million in the sixth season. One set of dollars.

The current investment in “Lord of Mysteries” is equivalent to “Game of Thrones”.

In addition, the dimension entertains itself, in the special effects and post-production only the above bonuses, in fact, the overall production level of “Lord of Mysteries” may be higher than that of “Game of Thrones.”

Of course, this is only about the production level, not the quality of the actual film. After all, “Quanyou” is a top American drama that has been popular all over the world every season since eight seasons. Although “Lord of Mysteries”, although in terms of production specifications and standards, Dimension Entertainment believes that it will not be worse than the former, but the final film The quality must be verified by the market and the broadest audience.

As for the work “Lord of Mysteries”, the domestic market is up and running, and they are already very experienced. However, due to the subject matter, the business department of Dimension Entertainment has judged that this work will also have very strong vitality in overseas markets.

Most of the actors have white faces, and a small number of actors are of the yellow race. However, this problem should not be too big when they are more reliable in terms of clothing and makeup.

The most important thing is the world background.

For Chinese audiences, this kind of thing seems relatively unfamiliar to the British style of the Victorian era and the 18th century. The popularity of “Lord of the Secrets” novel itself can only prove that there are some novel readers in China who have a good ability to accept this subject, and can even be regarded as a favorite.

However, the genre of film and television drama itself faces a wider audience group. Under this circumstance, it is still a question mark whether the subject matter of “Lord of Mysteries” is popular.

Of course, after achieving many successes, Dimension Entertainment has its own set of how to operate its own commercial works in China. Even if the audience is not big and they are cold after going online, they will finally have considerable confidence and be able to come up with good performance. After all, the reputation of the V mark is here, and at the same time, the film is invested in such a large amount. Under the high level of production, the quality is quite guaranteed.

Since then, even if it encounters a relatively bad situation like “The Demon Hunter”, Dimension Entertainment can at least guarantee that the benefits they can reap from the domestic market alone will not be very low.

The more critical point is the overseas market.

All the disadvantages in the domestic market, if they are put overseas, they are all advantages.

Story background, actors, Cthulhu’s evil **** culture…

Whether all of this can really be effective depends on whether the various overseas branches of Dimension Entertainment can take up their responsibilities and promote the works.
