Chapter 587 A New IP Suitable for Girls

Throughout January, the internet was abuzz with discussions about the Datang Magical Park, and by the end of January, during the Spring Festival, the topic had reached its peak as countless tourists began flocking to Haizhou.

Tourists of all kinds—those traveling for the Spring Festival, those seeking winter getaways, and those drawn by its reputation—fill every corner of Haizhou.

The first phase of the Datang Magical Park project is designed to receive around 1500 million visitors annually, with a maximum daily visitor capacity of 4 to 5.

The current daily visitor flow can reach the limit of 5 people almost every day. If Ye Xian hadn't stopped the increase in the number of tickets, this number could have doubled.

It's not that he doesn't want to make more money, but he is very clear that if he exceeds the limits of his operational capabilities, all sorts of problems will arise, and the extra money he earns cannot compensate for the loss of reputation.

He even asked the project team to continuously reduce the daily number of visitors based on the project's actual operational capacity, in order to achieve a more reasonable peak season visitor volume.

In Ye Xian's eyes, this project is meant to be developed into a brand and to generate profits over the next twenty or thirty years.

The Sixth Princess completely agreed with Ye Xian's idea and fully supported him. She now had increasing trust in Ye Xian's business acumen.

This can be seen from Ye Xian's insistence that all merchants in the park be self-operated instead of through bidding. It may seem like he lost the benefits of bidding and increased the operational risks, but in reality, the turnover of these self-operated products has far exceeded the ticket revenue.

The daily ticket revenue is fixed and will not exceed 2000 million at most.

The minimum daily revenue from self-operated products is 2000 million.

One is the upper limit, and the other is the lower limit. The profit margin may seem low, but it can't stop people's enthusiasm for consumption.

When a family enters the Tang Dynasty Magical Park, not to mention food, lodging, and transportation, everyone buys a huge amount of merchandise related to all the IPs.

Don't ask why, it's just because it's cheap!

Don't underestimate the power of the word "cheap." When people buy cheap things, they unconsciously end up buying more than they need.

Ye Xian took the "small profits but quick turnover" strategy to its extreme.

Therefore, the Sixth Princess strongly supported Ye Xian's request to reduce the number of guests.

Life isn't just about living one day.

……

Seeing how popular the Tang Dynasty Magical Park was in Haizhou, Afif put even more effort into the construction of the Tang Dynasty Magical Park in the capital, and he plans to officially open it during the winter vacation next year.

At the same time, he had already begun looking for new sites throughout the Tang Dynasty, preparing to start construction on three Tang Dynasty Wonderland parks simultaneously in the new year.

Ambitious Afif is preparing to make Datang Magical Park the world's most fun theme park brand in the future.

……

At the same time, Ye Xian's two animated feature films also premiered and were officially released.

On January 19th, the premieres of "Boonie Bears: The Big Adventure" and "Pokémon the Movie" were held simultaneously at the Datang Magical Park. Many visitors were fortunate enough to watch both movies for free.

On January 29, the first day of the Lunar New Year, two animated feature films were released simultaneously, and on the same day, they took the top two spots at the daily box office.

The collaboration between animated feature films, animated films, and the Tang Dynasty Magical Park has turned this Spring Festival film season into a showcase for animated feature films.

During the seven-day Spring Festival holiday, "Boonie Bears: The Big Adventure" grossed 39 billion yuan, while "Pokémon the Movie" grossed 37 billion yuan.

This achievement once again stunned many people in the industry. No one expected that these two animated feature films would have such strong box office appeal, making other films released during the same period of the Spring Festival pale in comparison.

By March 2nd, when the two animated feature films finished their theatrical run, "Boonie Bears: The Big Adventure" had raked in 66.3 billion yuan at the box office, and "Pokémon the Movie" had earned 62.9 billion yuan, for a total of 129.2 billion yuan.

Ye Xian and the Sixth Princess's animation company made a fortune!

After deducting costs and distributing 70% of the profits, Ye Xian could take away more than 40 billion yuan from these box office revenues alone, and Princess Liu could also take away nearly 20 billion yuan.

With his deep pockets, Ye Xian accelerated the construction of his shopping park while investing in the remaining projects of Datang Magical Park. He then expanded his animation company and began developing new animation IPs.

If Datang Magical Park wants to develop in the long term, it is definitely not enough to rely solely on the two major IPs, "Boonie Bears" and "Pokémon".

Therefore, Ye Xian is preparing to launch the "Kung Fu Panda", "Transformers", "Minions" and "Ultraman" series.

These four series, including the feature films and animations, are all quite popular, and Ye Xian believes they will become his new money-printing machines.

When Ye Xian showed these four IPs to the Sixth Princess, she nodded in approval while frowning.

"What's wrong? Is something off?"

Seeing Li Yunxi frown, Ye Xian was a little puzzled. Was there something wrong with these IPs? That shouldn't be the case.

Li Yunxi shook his head and said, "I feel that your ideas are all very good, but they are a bit too masculine. There are no IPs here that girls like."

Ye Xian slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing.

Indeed, these big IPs are basically dominated by boys and are not very friendly to girls. Ye Xian thought for a moment and suddenly came up with an idea.

"Your Highness, I have another IP idea. This IP is sure to be popular with girls, and it can also help your older sisters get some benefits so they won't bother you every day."

Ye Xian had heard about the other five princesses frequently trying to take over Ye Xian and the Sixth Princess's businesses, but this was the Sixth Princess's family matter, and even though it concerned his own interests, Ye Xian never dared to interfere.

Now, when the topic of girls came up, he suddenly thought of a well-known IP from another world.

"Oh? Tell me about it?"

Li Yunxi perked up. She had been getting annoyed to death by her older sisters lately. Seeing that the Tang Dynasty Magical Park was making a fortune every day and that the two animated feature films had grossed over 10 billion yuan, even her own sisters couldn't resist trying to snatch her away.

There's no other reason than that Ye Xian is incredibly good at making money!

Also, Ye Xian is so handsome!

This handsome and successful young man is someone all the other princesses are interested in.

What gives me the right to be your captive?

You haven't publicly announced that he's your "sixth prince consort" yet, so don't blame your sisters for reaching out to you.

Their advisors have already estimated that Ye Xian's net worth has now exceeded 300 billion.

This growth rate far exceeds their previous estimates.

Initially, the think tank estimated that Ye Xian's net worth would exceed 3 billion within three years at most.

Now, less than two and a half years after his debut, Ye Xian's fixed assets are already worth more than 10 billion.

Not to mention his several subsidiaries, which are like money-printing machines.
