Although the VR cash-out model still needs to be verified by the market, with the company's high-quality IP reserves, intensive cultivation of VR technology and the advantage of channel resources, the company is expected to increase its VR contribution income to 20% in 2016, and combine the powerful late-stage special effects of DD3.0 and DDPO to create a VR golden era.
Active expansion: open the "DD3.0+ DDPO" twin-engine expansion mode. In early 2016, the company acquired an 85% stake in Nicholas Tse's post-production company Lucrative Skill Holdings Limited (renamed DDPO after the acquisition). The acquisition will help strengthen the company's domestic visual effects business and create synergies for the visual effects business (DD3.0) based in North America. At present, DDPO has been selected to provide post-production and visual special effects production services as "the decisive Battle of the Rivers and lakes". With the increasing attention of the domestic audience to the special effects demand, the company is expected to introduce DD3.0 's powerful late-stage special effects technology to fill the gap of high-quality special effects in the domestic market.
