Chapter 295 Overseas Markets
After the meeting with Mr. Ye, Shi Jiangxuan and Lei Xiajun returned to the company.
The office location of "Weidu Media" is not with "Weidu Entertainment", and is half a Jiangdong District.
"WeiDu Media" transformed from "Xinmo Media", currently has more than 100 employees, which is not convenient to squeeze into the headquarters at once. Moreover, there are not so many businesses in both parties that require frequent encounters.
Ye Jiayi and Fan Zhe had no intention of letting them come over. The heads of the two "dimensional media" Shi Jiangxuan and Lei Xiajun did not mention it, so the division between the two companies maintained it.
Shi Jiangxuan originally belonged to "Weidu Entertainment" and was an executive in charge of operations recruited by Ye Jiayi. After completing the acquisition of "Xinmo Media", he transferred him to "Weidu Media" as president. Lei Xiajun was an old man from "Xinmo Media". After the company was acquired, he remained as the general manager of the new company.
Although the two did not know each other in the past and belonged to two companies, over the past period of time, they have worked together - mainly to take the blame together - and have formed a certain "comrade-in-arms relationship".
The so-called "take the blame together" means that when the company holds various summary meetings, others keep reporting good news. There are only the two of them, sitting in the corner of the conference room, timidly. When it is their turn to speak, they always say "stay flat", "small losses", "strive to maintain", "strive to better next month", etc., anyway, I feel embarrassed.
This is also the accumulated comradeship between the two, which makes the personal relationship between the two quite good.
Because of this, Lei Xiajun and Shi Jiangxuan were more casual when they talked privately.
On the way back, Lei Xiajun said to Shi Jiangxuan who was driving: "I am really convinced. I just made a promise in front of Mr. Ye and issued a military order... I'm so immense."
Hearing Lei Xiajun's complaints, Shi Jiangxuan laughed twice and said, "You don't understand this. Before such a major battle, can I still tell Mr. Ye that we have no confidence? We may mess it up? We must not say that!"
"There is no need to issue a military order, right? Have you forgotten that we were in the company and we were both in a sad way?"
"Anyway, I have to brag, so I'd just brag a little more firmly!" After Shi Jiangxuan finished speaking, he added: "And... we have also analyzed the reasons why the movies released have received average responses? In the final analysis, it is because the quality of the movie itself is not good enough. Now, "Hell Apartment 2" is different. This is a movie made by the headquarters itself. The quality is definitely guaranteed, and the promotion and distribution budget is abundant. I can't even think of how to lose!"
"Oh..." Lei Xiajun's face did not improve at all, "Lao Shi, because of this, I am worried. If the previous ones were not done well, we can still say that the quality of the movie itself is not good. If "Hell Apartment 2" is defeated, what else can we say? Could it be that you told the boss that you didn't do well in the movie?"
"It's impossible, the company's own films, it's impossible that there is a problem with the quality."
"Are you so confident in the company's own movies?" Lei Xiajun expressed doubts.
"You haven't stayed at the headquarters, you don't know. I just have confidence anyway. If you don't believe it, you can see it yourself."
Lei Xiajun rolled his eyes, raised his head, and lay in the parking space, unwilling to speak.
...
After seeing off Shi Lei and the others, Ye Jiayi turned around and became busy with another matter.
"The Grandmaster of Martial Arts" overseas release.
This drama is made by the "dimensional platform" in China and has made a lot of money at present. Although it seems that the income has not been sold out much directly, it has built its own content platform and laid a solid foundation for the future. No matter how you look at it, it will make money.
Moreover, if you put the timeline a little longer, according to the current sales momentum of "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts", you will not lose money no matter how you look at it.
But the 'dimensional platform' is overseas and has no influence.
The initial traffic of the 'Dimension Platform' was brought about by the release of "Taiwu Painting Scroll 2". However, the overseas release of this game was all handed over to Activision, and it has nothing to do with the 'Dimension Platform'.
Ye Jiayi couldn't expand, and he felt that he could still send the "dimensional platform" abroad to become popular, which was a delusion.
The most appropriate way is to hand over the overseas copyright of "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts" to local agents for processing.
The so-called global market is not a whole, it needs to be viewed separately.
The Hong Kong and Taiwan markets are easy to say, and the influence of the headquarters of Weidu Entertainment can directly radiate to. Especially in Hong Kong, TVB has confirmed that it will play the upper part of "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts" on TV in January next year. As for the copyright of broadcasting in Taiwan, the discussion has been successfully completed.
And further outward markets need to be further segmented.
At present, Weidu Entertainment has established a total of four branches in the overseas market.
The earliest established was "Dimension Japan". At the beginning, this company wanted to input the animations produced by the company into Japan, a vast anime country. Their achievements have always been pretty good, and the current development is also quite good. At present, the "Dimension Japan" led by Li Zerui is mainly responsible for the two major markets of Japan and South Korea.
In addition, there is another company, "Dimension Asia". It has the name of the whole Asia, but in fact, "Dimension Asia" has basically no influence in Central Asia, West Asia, and Arabia for some reasons. The main market is still in Southeast Asia, such as Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, and Myanmar. Recently, they are trying to develop the Indian market, but the results are very poor.
There are two other companies, one is the "Dimensional America", which is mainly responsible for North America and develops South America by the way, but the situation in South America is also relatively complicated.
The latest one is "Dimension Europe", which is responsible for the European market and the African market. However, this is basically just nominal. After all, the other three can be regarded as branches, and the "Dimension Europe" established in London is basically an office.
But despite this, Weidu Entertainment has begun to try to make a global layout. "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts" is an attempt by them to make global distributions on their own.
The result seems pretty good at the moment, especially in Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, which has a relatively large influence in Didu Entertainment and is similar to the Chinese cultural circle. "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts" sold at a good price. As for North America and Europe, the situation is not particularly good, but at least it was sold.
By this calculation, "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts" has brought about more than 45 million US dollars in revenue to Weidu Entertainment in the entire overseas market, including Hong Kong and Taiwan, which is almost 300 million yuan.
At the same time, the copyright of domestic TV series has also been sold for 250 million yuan - the TV series version, which will only be available in a month after the online version, and the price will naturally be affected to a certain extent.
"The Grandmaster of Martial Arts" cannot be broadcast online. If you have any TV, it will affect online payments a lot.
As for the time when the broadcast on TV starts, paying users will lose this. After research by the market department, the problem is good, but it is not big.
After all, the TV series version is online for three months later than the online version. If you watch TV, you have to stay on TV at a fixed location. One day, there is no place to make up for it. You have to endure the inter-broadcast advertisements. The movie viewing experience will definitely be different.
Moreover, after the TV version is launched, the online version will also give some discounts and other discounts. There are certain discounts, and you can watch the show in one go. Maybe it may attract some users from the TV station and enter the "dimensional platform".
