No matter what kind of discussions and evaluations "Hell Apartment" received after it was launched, after a week, the operation department of the "Dimension Platform" roughly made an evaluation of this work.

First of all, the number of clicks is very good, which means that there will be a certain amount of advertising revenue; secondly, with the efforts of Wu Jingtong, using the feature-length animation "Hell Apartment", the 'Dimension Platform' has also gained a lot during this period. A lot of new annual fee members, although this number is not too much, only around 20,000 to 30,000, but it also represents hundreds of thousands of income. Moreover, according to estimates, "Hell Apartment" is finally expected to be able to increase about 100,000 paying users. In this way, light-year fee members can earn millions.

These can only be regarded as added value. The main goal of the feature-length animation of "Hell Apartment", which is to fill the task of exclusive content for paid members, has also been achieved.

According to the current data, about 60% of the annual fee members have clicked on this work based on other reasons such as interest in this work, or simply curiosity.

Although this data may not seem high, it almost covers a large part of active paying users.

For the feature-length animation "Hell Apartment", the previous goal has been achieved, and the latter will see how many people are willing to watch it long-term under the long-term serialization.

At the same time, the overseas sales of this work and the development of animation peripherals are also in progress.

Although "Hell Apartment" has more than 100 episodes, the investment is not high, and the manpower used is not particularly large. Putting it in the "dimension" system, the calculation level of the startup is also low.

In this way, the cost of the work has fallen to a relatively acceptable level. The average cost of a single episode is about 200,000 yuan, and after a hundred episodes, the total cost is about tens of millions.

All the investment, the initial goal of Dimension Entertainment was to bring a better experience to paying members, so even if it didn’t make any money, it didn’t matter much—it was just an advertisement, anyway, Dimension Entertainment has Money, not less than ten million.

However, looking at it now, through the new paid members attracted by the works, and through various peripheral copyright marketing, it seems that... not only can't lose money, but it can also make some money.

Of course, even if you earn, you won't earn much, at least not compared to most of Dimension Entertainment's previous works.

But even so, it is still a very comfortable thing.

The feature-length animation of "Hell Apartment" is another new work of Dimension Entertainment, but in general, among the company's many development projects, it is really not the focus, at best it is just a lace.

Among the works being produced by Dimension Entertainment, each one is much more important than the full-length animation of "Hell Apartment".

At present, the company is about to launch, or is producing, or has already approved a total of six works.

An animation, which is an adaptation of Yan Yu Jiangnan's novel "Hunter's Notes". This animation should be the highlight of this year's animation department of Dimension Entertainment. The budget for a single episode is 33 million RMB, equivalent to almost 5 million U.S. dollars, and the total budget for the ten episodes of the entire season exceeds 330 million RMB. With such an investment cost, only Dimension Entertainment can afford to make an animation.

The key is that they can still operate, and they can make back their capital and even make a lot of money.

For other companies, there are not a few entertainment companies in the world that may have the corresponding operating capabilities, but Dimension Entertainment is the only one that has the courage to spend money like this.

The other one is a game: "Steam Daming". This is the original work of Zheng'er Bajing, and it is also the most invested project among the many projects established by the company. The total budget of the whole project has reached 1.3 billion RMB, which is almost 200 million US dollars.

More importantly, in addition to the investment in the book, there is also a lot of capital that is really required to be paid by Dimension Entertainment. Games, especially this top 3A masterpiece, are undoubtedly a comprehensive art. In addition to visual things, a series of things from designers, planning, copywriting, music... are all indispensable for a top-level game.

The 'Dimension' system can handle the most strenuous visual work for "Steam Daming", but the art design, as well as all other things, are all done by Dimension Entertainment itself.

These things, after they made a "Taiwu Painting Scroll 2", they did have a lot of accumulation, but no matter how much they accumulate, if they want to create such a game, there is only one word: money.

No money to make a 3A masterpiece? If you have money, it's over.

The remaining four are all movies, namely "Martial Arts Master: Flame of War", "Demacia: Glory", "Night Hunter", and "Taiwu Picture Scroll".

The investment in these four films is not small. "Demacia: Glory" is the highest, reaching 800 million yuan; followed by "Taiwu Picture Scroll" and "Night Hunter", both with an investment of 650 million yuan. The one with the smallest investment is the movie "Martial Arts Grandmaster: Flames of War", which is in the early 500 million.

Adding up the six projects, Dimension Entertainment invested more than 4 billion RMB. Not counting the payment to 'Dimension Technology', more than 1.5 billion in real money was thrown away.

Of course, each of these key investment and key production projects is more important than the feature-length animation of "Hell Apartment".

The investment of tens of millions in "Hell Apartment" doesn't matter whether it makes money or not. The key is to see whether the following key projects can achieve the expected goals, which is the most important thing.

At the moment, the first key work to be launched is "Martial Arts Master: War", a movie starring Chen Yu and directed by Du Zhengde.

Currently, the series of "Martial Arts Master: Part 2" has come to an end.

This drama, from the first part last summer, to the second part this spring, it can be said to have set off a wave of "martial arts" across the country. People who have never watched this work will really be looked at. , feel that the other party is out of modern society.

And taking advantage of "Martial Arts Master: Part 2" coming to the end of the broadcast, "Martial Arts Master: War Flame", the movie that will be launched immediately, will naturally attract a lot of attention.

In fact, Dimension Entertainment's promotional strategy for this movie now revolves around the popularity of the TV series.
