The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

After hanging up the call with Fan Zhe, Wu Na made a call to Director Du Zhengde's cell phone.

"Hello? Director Du? I'm Wuna."

"Xiaona? What are you calling for?"

"It's like this, Director Du. Didn't you hear about our drama before and haven't found a suitable special effects production company? I have a very good friend who works in this field and has some works."

"what company?"

"It's Dimension Entertainment."

"Dimension Entertainment?" Director Du hesitated for a moment, "I've never heard of this name..."

"You can go and find out. They have not been established for a long time, but their technical level is very good."

"Okay, I'll take a look at their work first, and if it's okay, let him contact the producer of the crew to talk about it."

"Okay, thank you Director Du."

"You girl, why did you start helping the crew find a special effects company?"

"Isn't this for the sake of the crew?" Wu Na was not stupid, so she couldn't say it directly.

Although people must know.

...

Director Du Zhengde didn't care much about this matter, even after watching the works of 'Dimension Entertainment'.

Not to mention "Full Time" and "Special Events Task Force". Pure 2D animation has nothing to do with movie special effects.

However, the CG animation of "Assassination Squad" is still okay.

The effect is really well done.

At present, there are several companies that are competing for the post-production special effects of his "Shadow of Shadows", and it's okay to have one more 'dimension entertainment'.

After casually sending Wu Na a text message and giving the producer's contact information, he forgot about it.

Anyway, looking for a special effects production company is not something that Du Zhengde can do alone. The money needs to be paid by the investors. To put it bluntly, he is also a part-time worker in this drama, just a bit more advanced. In this matter, he has the right to make suggestions, and the final decision is in the hands of the chief producer sent by the management.

...

After Fan Zhe got the producer of the movie "Phantom Wars" from Wu Na and the contact information of director Du Zhengde, he brought Wu Jingtong here.

Wu Jingtong was one of the five candidates who passed Tang Zhiqi's video interview and were invited to the company to participate in the real-person interview for the position of Marketing Director.

In terms of salary, work ability, and interview results, Fan Zhe finally chose him after many considerations.

And right now, there is a task for him.

After roughly introducing the situation to Wu Jingtong, the newly appointed marketing director, Fan Zhe then said: "Go to contact the people who made the movie "Phantom Wars" and try to get this project down."

"Okay, make sure to complete the task."

Wu Jingtong is also very excited now.

Entering a new company and taking the position of 'director', although he is still a polished commander for the time being, the tasks he receives are still very challenging.

Needless to say, Fan Zhe will definitely finish this matter well. He didn't want to enter a new company and fail the first task he received from his boss.

After getting the contact information, Wu Jingtong did not rush to contact him.

The so-called know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never end in a hundred battles. Through the Internet and through some consulting companies, he began to learn as much as possible about the crew.

"Magic Shadow Wars" is not a big production, and the investment cost of external publicity is hundreds of millions, but in fact, according to some information obtained by Wu Jingtong, this is not worth it-their investment cost is 70 million. , no more.

For the 70 million yuan, after throwing away part of the filming cost and the actor's salary, which accounts for the majority, there may not be much money left for special effects.

The fact is the same. After the initial contact, the investor of the movie, 'Xinmo Media', only offered 17 million yuan.

After learning about this situation, Wu Jingtong couldn't help complaining: I will give you 17 million for stepping on a horse, don't do special effects for fantasy movies, it's better to dream.

Seemingly an investment of 70 million yuan, is it considered a big production?

It used to be possible, but now it's hard to see it that way.

Domestic films have also gradually entered the era of blockbusters.

Director Chen's "Legend of the Demon Cat" is rumored to have an investment of 970 million; Director Zhang's "The Great Wall" investment is even more than one billion.

In other words, even in Hollywood, it would be a big production with an investment of over 100 million US dollars.

In comparison, the investment amount of 70 million in "Warrior of Shadows" is nothing at all, not even one-tenth of the Great Wall.

Just invest in it, and make a fantasy film? Only 17 million for special effects?

Wu Jingtong seemed to have seen another movie with special effects for 50 cents, and it was about to go on the market to make money.

I complained crazily in my heart, but the things under my hand still had to be done.

He actively communicated with 'Xinmo Media'.

...

Fan Zhe has handed over the film special effects project of "Phantom Wars" to Wu Jingtong.

Although this talent has just joined the company, and he doesn't appear to be particularly old, it is impossible for Fan Zhe to be so assured of his ability all of a sudden.

But there is no way, this young man is already the most reliable person in the company in this regard. Tang Zhiqi was busy with other things. His more important job now was to follow up the sales negotiations for the second season of "Special Incidents Task Force".

In this way, it can only be handed over to him.

At present, the negotiations for the second season of "Task Force" have almost reached a critical time.

Xia Yuan, the chief operating officer of Station A, came to Dimension Entertainment in person very sincerely, and talked to Fan Zhe about the second season.

However, he was doomed to be disappointed.

"Mr. Fan, can the price really not be any cheaper?"

"This is the bottom line."

"But...the price of 12 million is really too high..."

"Don't say that, I think this price is worthy of the performance of this work." Fan Zhe said, he was very worried about the first one being sold at a low price.

After "Task Force" became popular, Station A and Penguin Video, which bought the copyright of the first season, made a lot of money. Now, they haven't finished broadcasting the first season, and the movie has become popular, so they directly negotiated the resale contracts of the other six companies! According to Fan Zhe's knowledge, the average purchase price of these six companies is around 400,000 yuan.

This is equivalent to, their family spent 300,000 yuan to buy the premiere of the first season of "Special Incidents Task Force". Judging from the current popularity, the income from member on-demand broadcasts alone can not only pay back the cost, but also make a lot of money, plus advertising income, traffic import, new users...

Station A and Penguin video earn a wave of blood!

This situation, Fan Zhe had expected earlier, this is the price for him to give up long-term income.

But my heart is still very upset!

Now, Xia Yuan came to bargain again, how could Fan Zhe agree?

So, in the end, Xia Yuan could only leave disappointed.

After tasting the sweetness brought by the first season of "Special Events Task Force", he actually wanted to buy the second season very much.

But it is a pity that he cannot afford such a high price due to his economic strength.

Station A is out.
