The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

At night, Fan Zhe, who was sleepy from playing games, lay on the bed.

After a while, Ye Jiayi also came after taking a shower.

While changing her pajamas, she said, "Penguin Pictures has brought up a new idea. They want to start a brand new League of Legends story. I hope we can support the project."

"What? Hasn't the Dragon Blood project been approved?"

"But they still want to open new ones." Ye Jiayi said, "From "Glory", they saw the huge commercial potential of this series."

"Did they say what to drive?"

"They wanted to open up the Ice Shooter storyline."

Although Ye Jiayi doesn't play games and isn't interested in League of Legends, she is a professional manager. In the League of Legends series, the cooperation with Penguin Films is currently one of the most important series projects of the company. Competent people, of course, will try to understand the relevant information of this content.

On the other side of Fist, including Penguin itself, they seem to have a special preference for the hero Ice Shooter.

This is one of the first hero characters launched in the League of Legends game. At the same time, Riot Games invested a lot of energy in the ice shooter Ashe when making the corresponding worldview settings. Including the first full-length comics in the LOL series, they also cooperated with Marvel to launch the "Ash Warmother" series.

Let's not talk about the response of this comic itself, but this actually shows their attitude-the first character they want to develop in depth should be Ashe.

In fact, this is also very easy to understand. Ashe's role is set to Wei Guangzheng. In the Freljord, where there are constant disputes, she is committed to promoting peace, shouting every day, "As long as we are united, no one will suffer." Class lines.

Moreover, Ashe herself is a woman, which fits quite well with the political correctness of the current feminist trend of thought.

Based on these factors, it is normal for Riot Games and Penguin Pictures to forcefully promote this hero as the first attempt at in-depth development of LOL copyrights.

In the early days, after Dimension Entertainment and Penguin negotiated a cooperation agreement, what Penguin meant at that time was that the first film was suggested to be Freljord with Ashe as the protagonist, but it was rejected by Fan Zhe and started instead. Demacia's storyline.

This time, they came up with corresponding ideas again.

Fan Zhe thought about it carefully, and said, "Let me think about it first."

"Yeah." Ye Jiayi nodded, "You have the final say on the content. But Penguin is very urgent to make a decision as soon as possible."

"I'm eager to see that I'm making money."

Ye Jiayi smiled and said: "That's for sure. They also said that if we have financial difficulties, they can even bear most of the investment in the production of this new film."

"Is there any difficulty?"

"No." Ye Jiayi said.

Based on a production cost of US$100 million, Dimension Entertainment would not have any difficulty investing in a film of this level of production.

They can almost be called the top companies in the domestic comprehensive cultural and entertainment industry now. Movies, games, animation... the works produced have all become popular.

Only in terms of revenue, few companies can compare with them.

Moreover, it seems that the investment cost of various projects is high, but with the support of the 'dimension' system, it is actually quite low. The flow of funds on the accounts, from Dimension Entertainment's large production costs, was transferred to Dimension Technology as project costs.

But turning around, Dimension Technology will inject funds into Dimension Group in the name of investment, and then Dimension Group will send funds to its many subsidiaries, such as Dimension Entertainment in charge of project production, Dimension Technology in charge of actor brokerage, and various overseas branches. company, to make capital injections.

These operations are a set of things that Ye Jiayi made according to Fan Zhe's request, roughly like this.

Of course, Fan Zhe didn't understand many detailed operations, but he only heard Ye Jiayi's explanations, including some explanations from the legal department.

In the Dimension Group and all the subsidiary companies under the Dimension Group, all the equity is in the hands of Fan Zhe himself, and the transfer of funds within the group is subject to very little supervision and relatively small restrictions.

All in all, Dimension Group is rich.

Their wealth is not reflected in any assets, or they have strong cash flow.

This is more awesome than anything else.

For this reason, Dimension Entertainment has no scruples at all when carrying out various projects. As long as you don't play too much, if you do more than 80 episodes of "Lord of the Mysteries" at a cost of 12 million US dollars per episode, then there will be no problems.

Like in the past, they would encounter some financial crises because of taking too many steps, but it is unlikely that such a situation will occur now.

Many companies, no matter what industry, in the process of development and expansion, the most common problem encountered is the problem of funds. The usual solution is nothing more than financing and borrowing. Even, many start-up companies, from the start of the company, the whole goal is to obtain financing, and it is a good thing for the founding team to take the money and leave.

And Dimension Entertainment never did.

Financing has never been done; debt lending has been operated after Ye Jiayi joined the company, because of the pressure on project funds, but Dimension Entertainment is doing projects and doing loans, and there is basically no pressure to repay the money.

Up to now, even borrowing is basically unnecessary.

Penguin is still thinking about opening more projects. Dimension Entertainment has no funds to invest, so it is purely a dream.

According to the agreement between the two parties, the power to start the project is held in the hands of Dimension Entertainment. Penguin has the right to make suggestions and has corresponding restrictions.

But obviously, it is definitely not a delay now. Not long after "Glory" was released, "Dragon Blood" and "Night Hunter" have both been approved, and the filming of the latter is almost finished.

It may even be a bit urgent to start a new project.

Fan Zhe asked this question.

Ye Jiayi thought for a while and replied: "It's actually not bad. According to our market research, the success of "Glory" has largely attracted the audience's interest. For this series of movies, the market is still very urgent. I hope to see new films. If the project is established now and released next year, it will be nothing more than two years to release three films. Not only is it not too many, it may even still not be able to fill the market demand."

"That's good." While talking, Fan Zhe looked up at the clock and said, "It's getting late, go to sleep."

"Yes." Ye Jiayi lay beside him.
