Zhang Yanping sat in his office, looking at a report sent from Weidu Entertainment.

He is an executive of Penguin Pictures and is currently fully responsible for the film and television operation of "League of Legends".

Penguin Group is a good player in entertainment, so let’s not talk about the game. They are almost the overlords in China. In the era of PC games, they gradually surpassed Shanda, NetEase and other companies and became the top in China. In the era of mobile games, they occupied a huge market share, and there were very few domestic game companies that could be compared with them.

Of course, their way of making games is completely different from "Taiwu 2", so I won't mention it much.

In addition to games, film and television are also a very important contribution in the entertainment industry.

Although it was an Internet company that started, with Penguin Group's current huge size, its career will naturally not be limited to the Internet. It will continue to spread to the depths. This is an inevitable trend.

It is normal to move towards the film and television industry.

In the film industry, they have also made some good investments and productions.

For example, "Charlotte's Troubles" and "Monster Hunt" two movies...

Not to mention the quality of the movie, at least, it can be considered commercially successful.

"League of Legends" is a very important copyright held in the hands of Penguin Pictures.

There have been many ways to adapt the game movies abroad, such as "Resident Evil", "Tomb Raider", "Assassin's Creed", "Warcraft"...

Some are successful, such as the first two; some are not considered successful, such as the last two.

"League of Legends" is a game that has certain appeal in the entire global market, and naturally has its adaptation potential. Especially in the Chinese market, it can almost be regarded as a national game. The younger generation has played this game, and the proportion of those who have played it is quite high.

It really has a natural attraction to make such a game work filmed and television.

However, movies and games are two different concepts after all.

For example, before the movie was released, although the game itself was relatively famous, it was not too famous; and for example, "Assassin's Creed" and "Warcraft", especially "Warcraft", this game created a record of the number of people online in the world, with a huge number of 13.1 million in addition to the national server; in China, it is also a famous game with a huge number of fans.

However, does the movie say it's a plunge or a plunge?

Although the domestic WOWER is very powerful, including Van Zhe himself, he also went to the cinema to contribute a movie ticket. However, although it exploded in the mainland market, it ultimately could not save its overall failure in the global market, so that it is said that the movie was in a loss in the end.

This means that games and movies are two completely different art forms. If games are not popular, movies may not necessarily be over; if games are popular, movies may not be able to really make movies well.

But Penguin Pictures has ambitions.

They began to gradually build the so-called "Alliance Universe" a long time ago and build a related worldview. What they wanted to do was to produce one commercial masterpiece after another, just like Marvel's superhero movies, with the theme of various characters in "League of Legends".

To achieve such a goal, the first work is the top priority.

Back then, Marvel made "Iron Man", so they got up. It is said that if "Iron Man" failed, the entire Marvel Studios might have been ruined.

As for "Warcraft", after the first part was miserable, the second part immediately became far away.

This kind of commercial blockbuster that takes the visual effect route has a huge investment, and it is common for hundreds of millions of dollars to make money. Of course, it is a big profit, but if you lose money, it will be a very bad thing. Even those movie giants in Hollywood really lose a few movies of this level in a row, it will be a big deal.

Although Penguin is rich, it has a big stance. It will still be a matter that requires careful consideration when withdrawing hundreds of millions of capital to invest in a movie.

What's more, Penguin Pictures itself does not have enough production capabilities to make such a commercial blockbuster.

Cooperating shooting is the inevitable choice.

At the beginning, they tended to choose top film companies in the United States, such as the top six - Oh, now there are the top five - Columbia, Paramount, Disney, Universal Pictures, Warner...

Collaborating with these top film companies is the best solution for Penguin.

But... they are not so willing to do it.

The conditions they offered were too harsh, and I heard that Hollywood's attitude towards foreign capital was quite unfriendly.

Originally, they were going to look down.

For example, it has always had relatively good cooperation with Chinese capital, and a second-tier Hollywood film company like Legend Pictures, which was directly acquired by Wanda a few years ago.

However, at this moment, Dimension Entertainment emerged.

To be honest, Zhang Yanping didn't really think much about the company Weidu Entertainment at the beginning.

Of course, they made a big hit TV series like "Fantasy Three Kingdoms", and later "Hell Apartment" also achieved good results at a very small cost, and the film and television special effects were also very good.

But after all, Weidu Entertainment's ability in making commercial blockbusters has not been truly demonstrated.

For Penguin Pictures, the success of the first movie "League of Legends" is too important. With caution, Hollywood film companies with better experience are the best choice.

But in recent times, the situation has changed.

The successive success of "Taiwu 2" and "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts" has made their capital stronger. Although "Taiwu 2" is a game, the opening animation of this game really left a particularly deep impression on Zhang Yanping. In his understanding, even the best European and American companies are difficult to achieve the effect equivalent to the opening animation of "Taiwu 2" in terms of visual effects.

The success of "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts" further proves their ability to produce visual effects film and television works.

Although, until now, they have not made overly expensive movie blockbusters, Dimension Entertainment will at least be a good choice.

Especially when the business negotiations of Hollywood companies are not going well.

The cooperative inquiry initiated by Weidu Entertainment was made by Zhang Yanping.

And now, Weidu Entertainment has also given its own response.

They are interested in participating in this project.

Of course, the more specific cooperation content is not yet time to discuss. But since you have the intention to cooperate, it is equivalent to taking the first step.
