The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

Kappa wanted to know more about the project "Special Events Task Force", Fan Zhe agreed.

It's true that Kappa is the person in charge of the animation project team of "Full-time Master", but he is also the leader of the copyright development of Lewen Group. The final say.

"Full-time" is a key project of Lewen Group, and he must pay close attention to it. But the news that 'Dimension Entertainment' was preparing to develop "Special Events Task Force" also made him very concerned.

Although the copyright has been sold, and the follow-up income of this work has nothing to do with Lewen Group, but to be honest, Kappa still very much hopes that the adaptation of this work will be successful.

The main business of Lewen Group is to produce online novels. Its Qidian Chinese website is the largest Chinese reading website. From the opening of the station to the present, in the past ten years or so, I don't know how many excellent works have accumulated. At the same time, the development of Lewen Group has been getting better and better in recent years. Almost every once in a while, some excellent works will appear.

With such a huge treasure trove of content, for Lewen Group, the best way to increase its value is to make its own works more valuable.

Online reading is of course the most important foundation of Lewen Group, but if you want to develop further, it is better to maximize the value of your IP.

Under this premise, they attach great importance to the adaptation of film and television, animation, and games of every work from Qidian. Obviously, if the work is well adapted, it will in turn bring the value of other IP copyrights that have not been sold, and it will rise along with it.

What's more, although the entire copyright of the work "Special Events Task Force" is already in the hands of 'Dimension Entertainment', but... Is it true that IP development can't get a share of it?

Kappa doesn't think so.

As far as he knows, the organizational structure of the 'Dimension Entertainment' company has only just been established, and even from the eyes of a person from a large group like him, it is outrageously rudimentary. The personnel and financial departments are run by the boss Fan Zhe with several subordinates. The marketing department for publicity, the commercial department for external communication, and the legal department for legal issues... These important supporting departments are even more important. Not a single shadow.

Kappa has no doubts about being able to make animations and do them well with the ability of 'dimension entertainment'.

But in this fully competitive market, quality alone is not enough to make a work successful in a broad sense.

When Fan Zhe made the remake of "Full-time", it was a coincidence. With the original work and animation of "Full-time Master", they have gained a lot of fame, and only by winning through quality can they gain wider recognition.

The situation of the "Special Events Task Force" project is quite different. First of all, in terms of the popularity of the original work, this niche work is very different from "Full-time" itself. What's more, it is the first time it has been adapted, and there is no previous drainage.

Under such circumstances, the quality of the work is good, and it is easy to create a situation where it is popular or not. As for 'Dimension Entertainment', it is even possible that the work will not be sold when the time comes.

But if you cooperate with Lewen Group, the situation will be very different.

Anyway, with such a large group, the marketing channels will be very rich. And promoting the adaptation of the work "Special Events Task Force" is also very helpful for Lewen Group to continue to promote its other IPs-their copyrights are very expensive, and works with slightly better results will be sold. Dare to bid tens of millions.

After considering this, Fan Zhe also decided that if the conditions are right, there is nothing wrong with cooperating with Lewen Group.

...

He came here with the idea of ​​cooperation, but after seeing a series of conceptual design drawings provided by Fan Zhe, Kappa retreated in his heart.

He said with a wry smile: "Mr. Fan...you guys are really brave."

Dare to do this kind of thing.

Fan Zhe said cheerfully: "There is nothing bold or not, I feel like this style, so I did it."

"Mr. Fan is really self-willed, he doesn't care about the investment of hundreds of millions..." Kappa couldn't help but complain.

Fan Zhe smiled without saying a word.

His expression, in the eyes of Kappa, is the appearance of winning.

Kappa was a little suspicious.

Judging from his own professional standards, it is really difficult for such a niche work to achieve results. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have invested in it.

but……

Thinking about the remake of "Full Time", and thinking about the quality of the finished animation of the second season of the three episodes of "Full Time" produced by "Dimension Entertainment", he felt that he should trust the other party.

"According to what you said, you also want to do a season broadcast of the animation "Special Events Task Force", with ten episodes per season?"

"yes."

"Then... How about buying the right to broadcast this animation for 1.5 million?"

Fan Zhe laughed directly, why didn't you say two hundred and five?

Kappa also laughed in embarrassment.

After all, it cost 3 million to buy the copyrights of "Task Force" and "4.6 Billion Ensemble of Evolution", and 1.5 million to repurchase the finished animation? hehe……

Although the style of this work is also known, the production cost will not be too high, but this price is obviously impossible.

But, with the style of this work, Kappa would not dare to charge a higher price.

Fan Zhe withdrew his smile and said seriously: "Then let me propose an idea. After we finish producing this work, we can hand it over to you for operation, and you can get a certain share of the proceeds from the sale of the animation; the surrounding copyright of animation works Development can also be distributed to you, but this share does not involve subsequent works. And you are responsible for the operation of the work, including sales and promotion, what do you think?"

Kappa quickly calculated in his heart, this is acceptable.

His face remained calm: "In general, this cooperation model sounds good, and we can try it. However, we definitely need further negotiations on the implemented share ratio and specific terms."

"no problem."

"Okay, I'll talk to our boss then."

After confirming the general intention, Fan Zhe mentioned another thing.

"Can you contact the author of "Special Incidents Task Force"?"

"Why?" Kappa was alert, the author's resources are very sensitive.

"Relax, I just want to invite the original author to join in the adaptation of the animation script."

"It's not a big problem, but we need to contact the author first. This is still based on the author's own wishes."

"Hope to hear good news from you."

After sending Kappa away, Fan Zhe temporarily put this matter behind him.

He believes that Kappa and the boss of Lewen Group will make the right choice.
