The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

Chapter 73 Love to do or not

Du Zhengde didn’t want to invite Xiao Xianrou, but the management wanted to invite him. He objected, but obviously the objection was invalid.

He can only accept this.

70 million investment, the joining of the popular traffic star immediately took a large part of it. In addition to some other actors, 60% of the entire investment quota was paid off by the actors.

This is not very common in the whole world, but it is very common in China.

For example, in Hollywood in the United States, where the film industry is the most developed, usually a large-invested visual effects blockbuster, the actors’ pay can account for 30% to 4% of the achievement is relatively large, and the remaining 60% will be reserved for actual shooting. , And the most part will be put into post-production.

The investment in special effects can be regarded as what you pay for. How much money is invested, and how much effect.

The overall amount of investment is large, and the proportion of special effects production is high, which naturally leads to a large number of Hollywood visual effects blockbusters.

And in China… it’s not uncommon for actors to account for 60% of a movie.

The scale of investment is not comparable, and the actors’ pay has accounted for the bulk of it. It is not unimaginable that 50 cents of special effects are frequently produced.

For “Monsters of the Shadows”, this is a fantasy film. Of course, the scale of investment in domestic movies is also rising. For example, Zhang’s “The Great Wall” is said to have invested 1 billion yuan, and Chen Kaige’s “The Legend of the Demon Cat” is also rumored to have invested 970 million.

In comparison, “Magic Shadow Wars” is not particularly big.

In this context, actors still accounted for 60% or more, and then the filming costs are eliminated…

is left for special effects, isn’t there only 17 million left?

Du Zhengde, the director, feels a very headache about this.

He doubts whether the traffic and box office brought by that little fresh meat can be worthy of the inferior special effects.

Du Zhengde is already very dissatisfied with the role selection, but in the actual shooting, the management is still constantly pointing fingers and feet, which is even more annoying.

What’s more, when he took the film, during the negotiations with the investor ‘Xinmo Media’, it was stipulated that he had no final cut right, only the right to make suggestions.

Anyone who knows a little about movies knows that film shooting is one aspect, and editing is another aspect.

It may be difficult to save a poorly-made film with good editing, but it is easy to destroy a well-made film with poor editing.

Due to various factors, Du Zhengde has gradually felt that he has lost control of the film. In other words, he himself can’t tell what the final film will be.

But he was not reconciled.

Director Du is forty out of eight this year, and he is not young anymore. He is really a man who got up from the bottom, he had a background in commercials, made short films, and made TV series. It was only in his forties that he started making movies.

At the beginning, it was produced at a low cost, and gradually accumulated qualifications. The upper part barely achieved a little achievement, and then had the opportunity to take over this “Magic Shadow War”.

At that time, he was also dazzled by the investment, and he was ambitious to make a film that made a big difference in the box office, but now he regrets it.

But regret is useless, the film is already next, and the filming is over, what else can he do?

He really doesn’t want this movie to hit the street.

In this circle, losers will be ruthlessly abandoned.

He is not the kind of real big director, there are still people who can continue to invest in two or three movies. If he rushes to this movie, at least for several years, don’t think about getting involved with the larger investment movie.

Director Du is still an ambitious person. He is clearly on the rise, so he is not reconciled to being interrupted or even hit the bottom.

Otherwise, he would not be willing to turn his face down to find Una to persuade Fan Zhe for the annoying investors. Anyway, this film does not have his investment, and his director’s remuneration has nothing to do with the box office.

……

The copyright of the work “Hell Apartment” was eventually bought by ‘Dimension Entertainment’.

It’s been a few days after the negotiation,

The final price is two million.

The price is not expensive.

As for setting up the project, it’s still far away, so I’m not in a hurry.

Seeing, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the animation for the second season of “Special Event Task Force” is almost done.

According to Sun Yilang’s report, the general content has been produced, only some tails are left. In the case of two powerful workstations dedicated to the animation calculations of the “Project Team”, the pressure is not great.

The later sound effects and dubbing work has also begun.

According to the whole estimation, there is basically no problem in completing the goal within the year. The entire film should be delivered to Penguin Video and Station B in early February, and the final payment should be received.

A bonus will be given at that time, and everyone can go to the New Year happily.

The future prospects of ‘Dimensional Entertainment’ are very promising.

While feeling relaxed, Fan Zhe answered a phone call It was Wona.

“Fan Zhe… the “Magic Shadow War” thing…”

“Huh? Is it possible that the broken crew is asking you trouble again?”

“It’s not…” Una was a little hard to tell.

“It’s not just fine. What’s the matter, please tell me directly, what are the two of us around?”

“Then I’ll be straightforward…” Wona said, “Director Du called me before and said that he wanted to ask me to persuade you to take over the special effects production of this movie. The crew took good care of me, so I promised him to persuade you. However, I know you have your own ideas. If you have already decided, you can leave me alone.”

“Hmm…” Fan Zhe pondered for a moment, and he said, “What do you think?”

“I don’t have any ideas…but I really think that this project is not needed, which is a pity.”

“Then do it.”

“what?”

Is it so casual?

Fan Zhe smiled and said: “When I promised to go to the dinner, I wanted to support you. Now that you are relieved, you have given an explanation over there, then forget it, you can Tell Director Du, I agreed on your face.”

“I…” Una didn’t know what to say, “Thank you…”

“You’re welcome.”

After hanging up, Fan Zhe called Wu Jingtong over.

“You can continue to talk to Xinmo Media, but 17 million won’t work, 20 million, at this price, they like to do it or not.”

“Good boss, they lost three million after a meal.” Wu Jingtong was also happy, “The boss is smart, so I found an excuse to raise the price.”
