Chapter 221 New Drama Project
"Jiayi!"
Seeing Ye Jiayi going away, Fan Zhe still shouted.
"Hmm?" Ye Jiayi turned her head.
Fan Zhe found that her face was a little red and she felt a little shy.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"Nothing." He forced his face to keep his face normal, but the redness behind his ears could not retreat.
"Then why are you..."
"Okay." Ye Jiayi interrupted Fan Zhe's later inquiry and said directly: "What's the matter? Tell me quickly, I still have one to open."
"...Okay." Fan Zhe didn't bother him anymore and talked about the serious matter. "In addition to the three projects we are currently working on, I want to set up two more projects. Can the company's current situation be supported?"
Speaking of work, Ye Jiayi naturally calmed down and entered a working state.
She replied: "What a large scale project? If it were the level of the game R&D project in "Taiwu Painting 2", let alone two, one of them would not be able to support it."
Ye Jiayi is telling the truth.
The project "Taiwu Painting Scroll 2" has been underway for a year and a half so far.
At the beginning, the expected time for this game development project was one year. However, in actual work, Fan Zhe found that he was still a little too optimistic.
Although the 'Dimension' system provides a lot of art resources and the 'Dimension Engine' engine software that surpasses this era, it is still too difficult to develop a 3A masterpiece that can reach the world's top 3A in a year.
In fact, if you want to make those New Year’s products series, it’s not bad.
However, in this game, Fan Zhe and the entire planning team have come up with too many groundbreaking things.
These things have only existed in concepts in the past and have not yet realized them.
This is true, including the combat system that will contain a lot of real-time calculations, and the dynamic world with powerful AI calculations.
No one in the entire team has developed such things; even in the whole world, they have no idea how to learn from it even if they want to find a place and learn from their experience.
No one has done this before.
It is precisely because of this that the development cycle of "Taiwu Painting 2" has been delayed again and again. What was originally planned to be completed within this year, but it seems that there is no chance. Even by next summer, it is a different story to whether development can be completed.
The R&D time exceeds the estimate, which is not just the price of time. This means that nearly half of the company's development power has been invested in this game and will always be involved. The entire R&D budget also exceeds the estimate, and I am afraid that it will eventually go 1.2 billion or even 1.5 billion.
Judging from this R&D capital alone, this work has at least completed one of the ‘a’ masterpieces of ‘3a’: a top investment.
Of course, 80% of the money is actually paid to 'dimensional technology'. For example, the authorization fee for 'dimensional engine', such as 'motion capture', 'physical collision calculation', 'fine model construction', 'real lighting' and so on.
This money will eventually flow back to "Dimensional Entertainment".
If it weren't for this, I would have taken out more than one billion yuan seriously, even if "Weidu Entertainment" has made a lot of money in the past two years, it would not be possible.
However, despite this, the company's resources in art and funds have indeed been involved in a large part of its energy.
As for the other two projects that are still underway, the overall size is relatively smaller.
One is the second season of the "Amber Sword" animation, and the other is the third season of "The Evolution of 4.6 billion entourage".
The former was a great success this summer. At home and abroad, the total revenue exceeded 200 million, and slowly moved towards 300 million.
This is definitely the best profit for an animation. In terms of reputation, it is even more outstanding. It is named "the strongest domestic animation in the 21st century". It is a major counterattack animation country in Japan. Now the discs have been sold for 40,000 sets, surpassing a series of popular animation works such as "The Alchemist of Steel" and "Sword Art Online", and successfully entered the top 25 Japanese disc sales history.
Such a work is simply unreasonable without being a sequel.
The second season of "Amber" was officially launched some time ago and pre-production began. It is still led by Mile and hosted by the project, and is expected to be launched next summer.
If nothing unexpected happens, if the results of "Amber" can be maintained, then the animation will inevitably be released at a rate of one movie every year. It is estimated that the entire content will be about eight to ten seasons.
Of course, this is just an estimate now. The life cycle of a work is limited, making it smelly and long, and even "The Walking Dead" tends to be unfinished.
Take one step at a time, and then, if the work is really exhausted, you can also delete and modify the plot as appropriate to push the content quickly.
Another project, the third season, should be the end of "The Evolutionary Forty-Six Billion Extraordinary".
The original novel is written very long. When Fan Zhe was reading the original work himself, he felt a little uncomfortable after seeing it.
Of course, this has nothing to do with animation adaptation. However, it is true that when the second season of this animation came out, the second half of the animation gradually turned to science fiction and there were not so many popular sciences, and some poor reviews were received. At the same time, his achievements on TV stations and online platforms were also affected to a certain extent.
Therefore, if you break it, you break it.
Although there are still many things to come after the original work, Van Zhe finally decided to make the final decision that the "Four Six Billion Deco" will be completed until the third season.
These two works are not difficult for "Dimension Entertainment", and the entire production process is not tight. They are expected to be launched next year and do not involve much energy.
Ye Jiayi said: "...If you want to start a new project, the size of "Taiwu Painting Scroll 2" will definitely not work. The company's current manpower can at most support a project team with a size similar to "Amber Sword". No matter how many, we will continue to recruit people on a large scale. In terms of funds, there is not much problem."
Fan Zhe roughly learned about the current operation of the company, and after listening to Ye Jiayi's conclusion, he nodded and said, "The scale is definitely a little larger than the animation of "Amber Sword", and it is probably similar to the previous "Fantasy Three Kingdoms".
"Film a drama?"
"Yes."
“Which one?”
