The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

"Boss, I think we still need to think about it..."

Zhang Xinhua wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to David:

"We have invested 700 million yuan in this drama, and the cost pressure is still very high. Although Dimension Entertainment has successfully explored a business model of content payment, this model has only been available on their own platform for the time being. If we have a successful experience, if we do this rashly, there may be relatively big problems.”

He is persuading earnestly.

David said: "Your thinking is too conservative, Zhang Xinhua."

"This..." Zhang Xinhua froze for a moment.

"The success of Dimension Entertainment proves that this payment model is feasible in China. The domestic audience has grown faster than we expected. In this case, we have not become the first to eat crabs , at least follow behind and be the second.”

Zhang Xinhua didn't speak any more.

After David established 'Rainbow Entertainment', he has successively invested in a lot of TV dramas and movie projects, with good and bad results.

But no matter what, David is a very good investor. In the years since the establishment of 'Rainbow Entertainment', although no particularly popular works have been produced, the overall investment of the company is still profitable, with an average annual rate of return There are more than 30 percent.

This is already a pretty good business, and being able to obtain such a stable investment-return ratio has made David once again praised by all parties in the company and in the entire investment circle.

Zhang Xinhua is David's old subordinate, and has worked under David for many years. He has always felt that David is indeed very powerful. He has worked with him in the past. He has witnessed David strategizing in various industries countless times, making beautiful investment cases time after time, and earning a fortune after another. funds.

David's countless successes gave Zhang Xinhua an almost blind trust in him: How could David lose if he made a move?

It was precisely because of this kind of trust that he was so fearless when he received David's transfer and asked him to come to 'Tianhong Entertainment'.

He believed that David would not lose even if he entered an industry he was not familiar with.

In a sense, this is indeed the case. Even in the investment industry of 'film and television', which he has never been in contact with, David can still obtain a stable rate of return in a few years with his own skills, which is not a failure at all.

But Zhang Xinhua always felt that something was wrong, and the root cause came from David.

He always felt that since the establishment of 'Tianhong Entertainment', the investment in several film and television projects was not so rational.

Of course, David will always be so calm and unaffected by emotions, as if the collapse of the sky and the earth will not move him, and he will always look so sure of victory.

But is this really the case?

Perhaps it was in the past, but over the years, several projects invested by "Tianhong Entertainment" collided with the works of Dimension Entertainment, and many of David's decisions seemed a bit weird to Zhang Xinhua.

For example, when "The God of Wealth" collided with "The Hell Apartment", the scheduled release time of "The God of Wealth" was a month behind the "Hell Apartment", but David asked to put the film on the same date as the "Hell Apartment". "Hell Apartment" went at the same time, saying that it was because it was in the same schedule as a small-scale horror film, and the competition pressure would be less.

For this reason, David even used certain company resources to influence the initial filming of "Hell Apartment".

Hell, there is a huge gap between a comedy film and a horror film, and even the audience is very different. What is there to compete with?

Next, it is the project they are investing in now.

Bought the IP of the popular online novel "Library of Heavenly Way", found an excellent production team, and created a fantasy drama. At the same time, a lot of money was invested in post-production, with a total investment of 700 million yuan, and most of it was thrown into special effects.

This road is exactly the model that "Dimension Entertainment" has achieved success in many film and television dramas.

And now, even the business model after the work is launched, David is also planning to follow "Martial Arts Master", and the launch time is scheduled for mid-December, and he is going to fight "Ruzidi".

This made Zhang Xinhua feel a little inappropriate.

Although, he has seen the film and television works of "Library of Heaven" and thinks it is not bad, but... is it really good to copy the sales strategy of "Dimension Platform"? Can the quality of the work really reach the level of others? Can the 700 million investment in film and television drama really recover the cost?

These are all question marks in Zhang Xinhua's mind. He actually participated in this project, but he himself does not have much confidence.

And he always has an intuition that the TV series "Library of Heaven" may achieve good success according to the normal model, but it may indeed be immature to copy the content payment business model of "Dimension Entertainment".

Zhang Xinhua didn't believe it. David couldn't detect what he could feel.

However, David still made such a series of reckless and irrational decisions in his opinion.

Zhang Xinhua can probably understand that David's actions are aimed at dimension entertainment. As for why he went back to target that company, Zhang Xinhua probably understood the reason.

But it was precisely because of this that he found it unbelievable-this was not something that David could do at all!

Rather than saying that David did this out of some personal emotions, Zhang Xinhua would rather believe that it was just that he didn't understand David's strategy, and he just made a mistake in his business judgment.

As for the real reason, he no longer wanted to explore it.

Now, he only prays that since the establishment of 'Tianhong Investment', the project with the largest amount of investment will be successful as it wishes.

...

In terms of 'Dimension Entertainment', they don't really care much about the targeted behavior of 'Tianhong Investment'.

Even Ye Jiayi didn't care anymore.

Once, she would worry about David. However, after "Hell's Apartment" collided with "The God of Wealth" once, she completely let go of all these worries.

Perhaps, 'Dimension Entertainment' is inferior to David in terms of capital, scale, and business operations, but so what? In the content market, content is king. In the end, it depends on whose works can be played better, and who can win.

With Fan Zhe working on the content, Ye Jiayi can rest assured.

And what she has to do is to deal with business matters, and at the same time fend off some malicious peeks at the company.

For example, right now, there is a company called "Tomorrow Movies" that has bad intentions for "Hell Apartment 2".
