The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

?Ye Jiayi completed the negotiation with Activision and returned to China.

Arnold and a testing team from Activision came to China with him.

This team will complete the test of "Taiwu 2" in Shenghai, the headquarters of Dimension Entertainment.

The completion of "Taiwu 2" is now very high, such as the English version, German version, Japanese version, etc. The translation has been done, only some supplementary designs for combat actions are left, and it will be able to look like half a month. All done. In fact, as far as "Taiwu 2" is now complete, it is enough to take it out.

Although, at the press conference, "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2" showed a very high quality, when the E3 exhibition later, in the media demo meeting in the exhibition area of ​​Dimension Entertainment, all the people who have personally experienced this game , There is no doubt that it gave this game a very high evaluation, but this thing, what others say, is better than what you have personally experienced.

The team Arnold brought is to test the game.

In the contract between Dimension Entertainment and Activision, there is still one, after the other party has tested the quality of the game, if they are not satisfied, they can stop the cooperation.

However, all parties basically feel that this is just a cutscene, and it should not have much impact on the final result.

It is also impossible for Activision to use up so much effort just to amuse dimension entertainment.

This is indeed the case.

The team led by Arnold spent three days in Shenghai and played the beta version of "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2".

After playing for three days, this group of people spent almost all of their time in the game except for a meal in the middle, asking them to go to the Bund and never go shopping.

It was originally a business trip, but after the test work was over, the group didn't want to leave.

"Mr. Arnold, let's test for two more days, my apprentice stepping on a horse actually poisoned me and stole my Cold Moon Sword! I must catch him and clear the door!"

A tester was very angry.

A person next to me gloatly said: "I told you when you accepted the apprentice, let you see his character, he is the only one, and there may be problems. If you don’t listen, it depends on the apprentice’s good aptitude. , Are you at a loss now?"

Arnold couldn't laugh or cry beside him.

...

No matter how bad they were, they had to go back.

In fact, the time for the entire announcement is still quite tight. Arnold and their entire Activision propaganda department will have more arduous tasks in the future.

Now, it's the end of June. It is expected that in early July, "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2" will complete all the debugging work and officially announce the completion of development. Throughout the game, Dimension Entertainment claims that there are very few bugs, and there are no bugs that may directly affect the core functions of the game. This point, at least in Arnold's team, did not encounter a bug in the three-day test.

In fact, this is quite scary. Even if it is a lot of mature studios among the big factories, it is difficult to say that a bug is not encountered in a game that has been developed.

This also strengthened Arnold's grasp of the success of this work from the side.

Based on the requirements of Dimension Entertainment, they want to make "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2" online simultaneously on a global scale in early August.

If you follow the plan strictly, the time left for Activision is actually quite tight.

With less than two months left, they have to make a publicity plan, complete preparations for channel distribution, and place advertisements on various promotional channels...

You have to hurry up.

...

Time advances to the beginning of August, and "Taiwu 2" will be launched soon, but before that, for Dimension Entertainment, there is one important thing-"Budo Master" is finished.

There may be a total of one hundred and fifty-three episodes of this film, which will be divided into two parts for screening. It lasted nearly a year and was finally finished.

In the process of filming the TV series, the related post-production work has been in progress all the time.

Thanks to the powerful functions of the ‘Dimension’ system, when you have a large number of design drawings, you can simultaneously import some real shots taken directly into the system for related special effects production.

In the beginning, the special effects production work in this area was relatively slow.

At that time, because the production of "Taiwu 2" was also critical, Fan Zhe successively deployed computer clusters with a total cost of nearly 30 million, most of the performance was swallowed by the art needs of "Taiwu 2" Up. Only a small part of it stayed outside, and the demand for "Budo Master" has to compete with "Amber" and "The 4.6 Billion Ensemble of Evolution".

But now, "Amber" and "4.6 Billion Ensemble" are all finished, and some of the remaining art resources of "Taiwu" were all finished in early July. There is no other project to compete with "Budo Master". , So, the speed of the entire post-production process suddenly increased.

According to the latest forecast, it is estimated that the entire late-stage project will definitely be completed by October. Soon, maybe in October or November, you will be able to meet the audience on all major platforms. It is estimated that when the upper part is over, it should be the end of the Spring Festival.

This world is actually pretty good.

At the same time, after the company's current manpower is vacated, another project has officially started, which is another TV drama project, "Ru Zi Di".

However, the special effects used in this drama are much less than those in "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" and "Budo Master", but at the same time, its shooting time is also longer. It is estimated that this time next year, it may not be able to complete the filming. , How can it go online at the end of next year.

Counting this down, Dimension Entertainment has five consecutive projects this year, and two of them have been launched in the first half of the year~www.NovelMTL.com~ In the second half of the year, it will focus on "Budo Master" and "Taiwu 2". Major projects.

If both of these projects can meet expectations, the marketing of the entire company this year will be a huge improvement compared to the previous two years!

It is conservatively estimated that it may reach about 3 billion, and it is possible to be more optimistic, 4 billion or even higher.

The bulk of it, of course, fell on "Taiwu 2".

Throughout the summer vacation in July, Activision's strong strength in the European and American world has also been demonstrated.

In major television stations in the United States, Europe, Japan and other places, a large number of advertisements about "Taiwu 2" were put on concentratedly. Offline advertisements have even been posted in the subways of major cities, and even on some bustling streets, a large number of huge advertisements have also been erected.

The publicity investment of hundreds of millions of dollars is not in vain.

On August 8, on such a very auspicious date in China, "Taiwu 2" was officially launched!
