The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

The essence in the depths of the human soul is a field that cannot be touched by the dimensional system.

Of course, the 'dimension' may not reach the lower limit of some so-called 'actors' in performance.

For example, the performance called Li Yang in "Phantom Wars", such as An Bao... Well, forget it, don't be blind, anyway, the audience is not blind, they all have experience.

Actors are to be found, but who to find is a problem.

Traffic star? It's too expensive, I can't afford it, and Fan Zhe's acting skills can't be seen by these current traffic stars.

He has never believed that the attention brought by those traffic stars can be compared to the bad influence brought about by the low quality of the series.

Although the facts are always hitting him in the face.

In fact, he has always been puzzled, who is watching those dramas? So what powder is there really so much?

After removing the traffic stars, there are actually not many options left.

Why didn't Fan Zhe want to find someone like Hu Ge to play Chu Ge and Liu Yifei to play Shen Yan?

But now these two cafes are not small, and expensive is not the main problem, the key is not easy to please.

This thing is a little bit worrying.

But after chatting with Ye Jiayi, Fan Zhe decided not to think about this aspect for now.

The project is set up, preliminary work is done, and then the director and actors are found according to the budget.

According to Ye Jiayi and Fan Zhe's preliminary calculations, Dimension Entertainment's upcoming "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" project will have an investment scale of 200 million yuan.

Of course, it is impossible to really pay 200 million, and Dimension Entertainment does not have that much money.

Of the total investment of 200 million, 70 to 80% will be used as the special effects budget and paid to Dimension Technology, which is about 150 to 60 million.

Here, the accounts will be hedged through financial channels. After all, the 'dimension technology' is also its own.

The remaining tens of millions were spent by serious Dimension Entertainment as filming expenses and actors' remuneration.

Among them, the remuneration of the actors will be the bulk.

This price is quite embarrassing. If you can't invite big names, you can't afford to invite them. It's a bit uncomfortable for middle-level ones.

This thing makes people scratch their heads.

"We have never done anything in this area." Ye Jiayi said, "This is a field that is completely unfamiliar to us. Do you really want to step into it?"

"Really." Fan Zhe said.

Not only TV series, but his goal is still in movies.

Be it animated movies or live-action movies, rushing to the big screen with the most brilliant visual effects is his predestined idea and goal from the very beginning.

Holding the 'Dimension' system in hand, it's pointless to hang out on a small screen.

"Then I have two filings." After thinking for a while, Ye Jiayi put forward his own opinion: "One, we can pull up the project team by ourselves, but this requires a producer or director who is knowledgeable enough, otherwise we If you do this by yourself, there will be many unexpected troubles.”

"The second is to find a production company with a mature production process to cooperate with. We will invest, we will produce the special effects in the later stage, and leave the shooting to them."

"I'll choose the first one," Fan Zhe said.

"That will be more difficult."

"But it will be of great help to our future development. We will always follow this path. If tuition fees must be paid, it is better to pay early than late."

Ye Jiayi took a deep look at him and said, "Okay, I will follow up on the issue of the release at that time. When the crew is established, I will also start preparations."

"Thank you for your hard work." Fan Zhe said, "Actually, I have an idea for the director."

"who?"

"Du Zhengde, I have worked with him once." Fan Zhe said, "He may not be the best director, but he has rich experience and ability. At least he is enough to direct a TV series."

Ye Jiayi also knew about this person, she asked: "But, hasn't Du Zhengde entered the film industry? He is still willing to come back and make TV dramas?"

Fan Zhe smiled and said: "He is not willing, but sometimes, many things are not as simple as whether he wants to or not."

What he was thinking about was the release performance of the movie "Phantom Wars".

This work can be regarded as Du Zhengde's first commercial film with a good investment scale. If his grades are outstanding, he will take off; if his grades are mediocre, it is also a matter of qualifications, and he still needs to be fooled; .

Fan Zhe was waiting for this opportunity.

He didn't know what would happen to the final results of "Warrior of Shadows", but he was somehow involved in the production of this movie. It is a guarantee that 'Dimension Entertainment' is in charge of special effects production; however, the chaos and power struggle within the crew made Fan Zhe very pessimistic about the final results of this film.

Anyway, it's been a few days since the release.

...

One day in August, "Phantom Wars" was officially launched.

A lot of publicity for this film has been done.

Especially that little fresh meat named Li Yang.

This effect of self-contained traffic has to be said to have its value. Post still photos on Weibo and interact with fans, there will be a lot of popularity, and it will also be on the hot search; if you post a popular variety show to promote it, the popularity will go up immediately.

But it couldn't stop the bad reviews.

On the first day, "Phantom Wars" scored 6.5 on Douban, which seems to be acceptable, but in fact there is a lot of moisture here. Most of the five-star reviews are empty. There are quite a few one-star negative reviews, which are well-founded.

On the second day of its release, Shui Jun couldn't hold back the anger of the audience, and his rating dropped all the way, first falling to 5.00, and then all the way to 4.9.

"Seeing Li Yang's face that looks like a mentally retarded person makes me want to vomit."

"I don't understand. Why do so many production crews like to hire fresh meat? The acting is so rubbish that I can't bear to look directly at it."

"The plot is rubbish."

"Garbage+10086"

"I think it's pretty good. It's cool to fight the Demon King in the final battle."

"This film has nothing but special effects."

"The action design is so bad, such a good special effect is in vain."

"If you have the money to do such good special effects, can't you hire a decent motion design team?"

...

It seems that the reason why the score dropped to 4.9 and stopped is really purely because the special effects are not bad.

These comments, in fact, generally represent the impression of this film in front of the public.

The plot is poor; the editing logic is chaotic; the acting skills of the actors, especially the leading actors, have been criticized; the action design is poor...

In such a low evaluation, if there is anything that can be regarded as praise, it is only the special effects.

"I just found out that the special effects were actually made by Dimension Entertainment, no wonder."

Such evaluations are not rare.

Of course, it is not uncommon in history that there have been such films with a bad reputation but a blockbuster at the box office.

But obviously, "Magic Shadow Wars" is not like this.
