The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

""The Scroll of Taiwu" is an excellent martial arts movie, that's right."

"From the growth of the two young disciples of Jianjian Villa in the sect, to the conflicts involving the entire region, the confrontation between Zhujian Villa and the Blood Sect, and finally, with the help of comrades in arms, the protagonist eliminated The incarnation of the pivot..."

"The whole movie is very complete, the plot is smooth, and there is nothing worth complaining about. The characters are also well established and have their own characteristics. The actors who joined the movie are also the relatively outstanding batch in China, with both fame and acting skills. They are all in the movie and have given their due performance.”

"Only from these places, "Taiwu Picture Scroll" is a qualified film work."

"If you count its well-designed fighting action and its consistent eye-catching performance in special effects, this is a work above the passing line."

""The Scroll of Taiwu" is a movie about martial arts. In the movie, the interpretation of the chivalrous spirit is also very complete."

"People's biggest impression of Dimension Entertainment is that their special effects are excellent. It is undeniable that each of their works is extremely excellent in terms of screen. However, we should not ignore that this is a very A company that is very good at storytelling, almost every one of their productions."

"Most of Dimension Entertainment's productions are adaptations, looking for good stories from games and novels, and making them into films. They can always use the lens while retaining the spirit of the original work and the general story line of the original work. , Using pictures to express the whole story completely and beautifully, this is actually very rare.”

"Speaking of "The Scroll of Taiwu", this movie is adapted from a game. This is a game with a high degree of freedom, and the gameplay can almost change according to the player's wishes. There is no fixed formula. But in general, as far as Judging from the original game, this is still a work about kindness, love, hatred, and chivalry to save the world. The adaptation of the movie expresses this very well."

"On top of that, the movie version of "The Scroll of Taiwu" is enough to be called excellent."

"Of course, it's not without flaws."

"Although the stable creative method guarantees the quality of the work and will not produce too bad movies, it is also difficult to create any surprises."

"This is the biggest problem: "Taiwu Painted Scroll" has no surprises."

"Brother Mingming is excellent in all aspects, but it is this kind of predictable excellence that makes people lose interest. After watching it, I am very satisfied, but there is nothing more."

"Perhaps it's because our requirements for Dimension Entertainment are too high, but I sincerely hope that they can release more, better and more outstanding works."

"I will continue to look forward to it."

...

This film review is from 'Spies'.

He is a fan of Dimension Entertainment and a neutral movie critic. Neutral, objective, unaffected by factors other than movies,

Dimension Entertainment's movie is well done, of course he can blow it up, and it's the kind that blows it up. But if he doesn't do well, he won't say yes against his conscience.

For example, the previous "Fire of War" and "Glory", he said that they were very, very good. As for "Taiwu Painted Scroll", although the overall evaluation is still mainly positive, it has also been said that the film is stable and there are no surprises.

If this kind of evaluation is placed before, there should be no such evaluation.

A few years ago, if a work like "Taiwu" could be produced among domestic films, the actors' acting skills and plots were all online, the story was complete and smooth, the pictures were beautiful, and the action design and special effects pictures were world-class. A level martial arts film will naturally be blown away by the audience.

But now it is different.

For this matter, we still have to blame Dimension Entertainment itself. It was they themselves who fed the appetite of the audience.

To be honest, from a professional point of view, or according to the feelings of ordinary audiences, in fact, the overall film quality of "Taiwu Picture Scroll" is worse than "Glory", but it is definitely worse than "Martial Arts Grandmaster: War". Be better.

However, after the previous two excellent masterpieces, the audience's aesthetic level has improved, and it is hard to say that because this film is a domestic blockbuster, it is treated differently. What people expect is that Dimension Entertainment can produce better works on the basis of the original, and even bring greater surprises.

"Taiwu" is a good movie, that's right. In a horizontal comparison, the entire Spring Festival schedule, even the best "Heavenly Fire Down to Earth", can't compare with "Taiwu Painted Scroll".

But compared with its two predecessors, it can only be regarded as mediocre.

This is where the audience is not so satisfied.

Relevant information was collected, summarized into a report, and placed on Fan Zhe's desk.

After reading these things, he didn't think there was anything bad at all, and even thought it was a good thing.

The aesthetic appreciation of the audience is improved, which is what Fan Zhe especially hopes to see. As for the fact that the audience has higher requirements for dimensional entertainment, that's what it should be.

He himself is the last person who wants Dimension Entertainment to stand still.

Fan Zhe himself is no longer short of money, material life is no more attractive to him. He is not good at sex or wine, and has no pursuit of luxury goods or a more luxurious life. His spiritual pursuit lies in creating better works.

He doesn't want Dimension Entertainment to rely on the advantages of the 'dimension' system and repeat itself constantly, that is meaningless.

And he never did.

From the beginning of animation to the attempt of top-level CG serial animation like "The Devil Hunter", whether to lose money is not Fan Zhe's first consideration at all.

In terms of TV dramas, from the beginning, "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" has a certain nature of ancient costume idol dramas, and then "Martial Arts Master" has a lot of special effects and a lot of action scenes to produce high-quality TV drama projects. Moreover, he even started works such as "The Ruzidi" and "The Judgment of Kyushu", which almost abandoned the advantage of "special effects", just to pursue different types of things.

Even after all this has been done, he is even willing to invest a huge amount of money to create a story like "Lord of the Mysteries".

Not to mention that there are no similar works in China, on a global scale, "Lord of the Mysteries" is a mysterious theme with high cost and large production.

In terms of movies, from the low-cost movie "Hell Apartment" to "War" derived from the IP of the TV series, it has become a big investment in heavy industry movies; beginning……

Not to mention games, the first work "Taiwu Painting Scroll", the entire investment scale reached more than 1.3 billion!

Under the leadership of Fan Zhe, Dimension Entertainment has been making attempts in this area.

In the past, many things were completely blank in China, so every time they explored an unfamiliar field, it was tantamount to expanding the boundaries of Chinese manufacturing.

This kind of thing is still very meaningful.

Therefore, Fan Zhe was not too unhappy when he saw those criticisms about "Taiwu" that seemed mediocre in addition to praise.

There should be criticism for something that is made, especially something that has something to say.

The so-called "criticism is not free, praise is meaningless". Regardless of how this sentence is misused, at least follow its original meaning. This is a big truth, and no one can say that it is wrong.

This is also a good spur for Dimension Entertainment itself.

At least, it can wake up some comrades in the company and feel complacent.

...

Of course, things are far from that serious.

At least, the two bosses, Fan Zhe and Ye Jiayi, are still in a stable mood.

Even in the mood to go on vacation.

They spent the Chinese New Year in Shenghai this year. The family of four had a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner at home. The four of them worked together, even Fan Zhe, who had almost no cooking skills, went up to help.

After dinner, they took the movie tickets they had booked and went to see "The Scroll of Taiwu". The next day, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, they boarded a plane and headed for the southern hemisphere.

Fan Qing and Li Rong are old couples who haven't been abroad yet.

In the past, the economic conditions were not very supportive, but now that he has money, Fan Zhe also hopes that his parents can enjoy more happiness.

Traveling during the Chinese New Year is actually quite a cool experience.

Winter in the northern hemisphere is naturally midsummer in the southern hemisphere.

Now Brazil has experienced the warm South American beaches, and after staying for a week, I went to Argentina.

Stopped in Buenos Aires, watched the passionate tango, tasted the rich history, and looked back at the past of Argentina. Then, I went to Ushuaia again, in Tierra del Fuego Park, at the end of the world, looking at the sea.

Then, board a luxury yacht and head further south.

There is Antarctica.

Fan Zhe originally planned to pack the entire yacht with pride, but later he felt that his family of four was a bit boring, so he joined a professional tour group.

There are not many people, from all over the world, there are about twenty people in total, and there are four or five families in addition.

The interior decoration of the yacht is quite luxurious, and there are dedicated western pastry and Chinese food chefs on the bed, which are also requested by Fan Zhe.

Their trip to Antarctica this time is certainly not the kind of trip to visit here on the high seas.

Although Fan Qing and Li Rong are not young, they are not too old to move. With the help of a professional tour guide team, put on the corresponding equipment, cross the Drake Passage on a yacht, and set foot on the coast of Antarctica at a certain landing point.

I saw the penguins and the snow and ice in the polar region.

This trip to the southern hemisphere took almost a full month and a half.

To be honest, since I started working, looking back, it seems that this is the first time that Fan Zhe has taken such a long vacation all at once.

When he was at work, he was an original painting dog, and his work was very tiring and heavy, not much better than 996.

The so-called 996 means going to work at nine in the morning and leaving at nine in the evening, six days a week.

After founding Dimension Entertainment, he was not so busy, but as the leader of the entire group, he had even heavier responsibilities.

Such an opportunity to relax is really rare.

What's more, it's still with parents, and it's still with Ye Jiayi.

Speaking of Ye Jiayi, she actually wanted to quit halfway through the game.

According to her words, it is a huge group enterprise with only two bosses in total. The big boss has gone out to visit the mountains and rivers, and she, the lady boss, will always go back to take care of things.

But Fan Zhe forcibly pulled him back.

"You have already said that this huge group has thousands of employees, and executives with the names of president, general manager, and director. I can't count how many there are now. So many people, leading so many Salary, is it possible that the group won’t be able to turn around within a month or so of the two of us?"

"..."

Anyway, Fan Zhe refused to let her go.

In the end, Ye Jiayi had no choice but to follow along.

It was already mid-March when the family returned to Shenghai after the entire Spring Festival holiday had passed.

After starting work, the first thing reported was the box office of the movie version of "Taiwu Picture Scroll".

After one and a half months of screenings, the total box office of "The Scroll of Taiwu" has reached 3 billion.

Later, it is estimated that there will be about half a month of release time, and the total box office is expected to reach about 3.2 billion.

The box office of this movie should reach a level similar to that of "Martial Arts Master: War".

It is similar to the previous budget estimate of the commercial department.

However, the global box office performance of "Taiwu Painted Scroll" is much stronger than that of "War".

You know, "Taiwu Painted Scroll" is different from "Martial Arts Master: War". The previous works of these two films, the IP before the adaptation, are completely different.

"Martial Arts Master" started as a novel, and was adapted into a popular TV series all over the country, and then adapted into a movie. Although "Martial Arts Master" has also been introduced to overseas markets, its influence is not that great. It is not bad in the East Asian market, and it is also very popular in Southeast Asia, but its influence in North America and Europe is very average.

But "Taiwu Painted Scroll" is different. When this game first came out, it was the most popular game in the global market. Not only in that year, but in the following years, there were not many games that could challenge "Taiwu Picture Scroll" in its hot status.

With sales of 40 million sets worldwide, basically the core game users have basically bought this work.

Of course, the global box office of this movie will be guaranteed to a certain extent. After all, there is still support from game fans.

In North America, "The Scroll of Taiwu" won a box office of 100 million, and worldwide, it has a track record of 170 million.

Counting the results in mainland China, the total box office performance of this movie has exceeded 4 billion, reaching a scale of 4.5 billion, which is even better than "War".

And next, there will be a core work of Dimension Entertainment that will be released soon.

"night Hunter".
