The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

For a fantasy film that was supposed to focus on visual effects, the investment was not particularly large, and the cost of special effects production actually accounted for only 25% of the cost.

But so what? The current domestic film market is like this.

The special effects production fee for this movie has been fixed, and they are currently looking for a special effects production company at a price of 17 million.

Several special effects companies that originally expressed interest in the special effects project of this movie, at this price, have become less interested.

What was thought to be a big order turned out to be a small order.

Strong domestic or foreign special effects companies look down on such a small amount of money; weaker ones will not be able to do well after taking over.

It's an awkward position.

With the sudden decrease in competitors, Fan Zhe gave Wu Jingtong an order to try to negotiate a higher price.

He has already decided to take over this project. Money is one aspect, and the most important thing is to accumulate experience in film and television production.

Of course, what will be made at that time cannot really be the best. For the "dimension" system, it is not difficult to do things well, but it also requires cost.

The cost of money is relatively easy to say, anyway, it is also calculated by the 'dimension', but the cost of time is more important.

To produce more detailed, realistic, and beautiful special effects and CG animations, better artists are bound to spend more time drawing finer illustrations as raw materials for calculations of "dimensions" . At the same time, "Dimension" also needs more time in the process of performing special effects calculations.

If the money is enough, Fan Zhe doesn't mind doing a better job.

Not enough money...

He is now past the time when he needs to build a reputation with low price and high quality.

The money you give is enough, and I will do it for you. If I don’t have enough money, I can do what I can with the money to save time. I just want to earn some extra money, and after participating in a film production, I have accumulated experience in film and television dramas.

According to Fan Zhe's instructions, Wu Jingtong has already started to communicate with the film crew. At the same time, he is also optimistic about winning this project.

Judging from the results of the communication, the film crew of "Phantom Wars" agreed with Dimension Entertainment's quotation and the strength they showed when there were not many choices.

It can be said that it is a sure thing.

For this matter, Fan Zhe really has to thank Wu Na. If it wasn't this girl, it would be difficult for Fan Zhe to get information, let alone get the contact information of the producer and director directly.

He wanted to invite her back to have a meal, but before he could speak, it was Wuna who contacted him first.

A call came to his mobile phone: "Fan Zhe, I called our film, and the co-producer in charge of post-production came out to have dinner together. He finally agreed. You should come here at night."

She was very interested in it.

Fan Zhe thought about it, he actually didn't want to go.

A co-producer can naturally be regarded as a high-level film crew, but generally speaking, this position is a bit lower than the producer in the crew.

The communication between Wu Jingtong and the film crew is quite clear, and it is said that it is basically stable.

In this case, Fan Zhe didn't want to meet any co-producers.

But after thinking about it, Wu Na was so busy that she didn't even show her face, which was a bit unreasonable.

What's more, this is also a good opportunity. Wu Na worked in the film and television industry, she had no background, and she didn't come from a school like Shanghai Opera, Nortel, or Chinese Opera. She had no teacher to rely on, and she worked hard on her own. It was quite difficult.

Fan Zhe might be able to support Wuna this trip: there is also a company standing behind her!

Although the company is not very big...

With this in mind, Fan Zhe agreed to Wu Na.

When leaving the company, it happened to be off-duty time, and Fan Zhe and Wu Jingtong ran into the same elevator.

"President Fan." Wu Jingtong greeted him.

Fan Zhe nodded, thinking about the upcoming dinner, so he said: "Hey, Xiao Wu, I'm going to have a meal with a co-producer of "Phantom Wars" tonight, why don't you come with me .”

"Co-producer? Which one?"

"The surname seems to be Wang." Fan Zhe remembered that Wu Na mentioned it on the phone.

"I don't know this person." Wu Jingtong said, "How about this, Mr. Fan, I'll get in touch with Director Du and their chief producer Hu Kang, and we can have a table together tonight. Having dinner together is also good for us. Taking the project down kind of helped."

"Okay."

"Then I'll contact them first, and then I'll take them there with me."

...

When Fan Zhe arrived, Wu Na was already sitting in the seat and ordered the dishes.

"Come quickly." The girl in the gray sweater today waved to Fan Zhe.

Fan Zhe sat next to her, looked left and right, but didn't see anyone else, so he asked, "Where's your co-producer?"

"Not yet."

"The spectrum is pretty big."

Wu Na shook her head helplessly, and said, "Wang Lingxian is the co-producer of our film crew responsible for the post-production. He is usually a bit arrogant. When I see you later, please hold back your anger."

Fan Zhe waved his hand and said, "All right, all right, for your sake."

Wu Na gave him a blank look and said, "You have to give your own company some refreshments."

"Yes Yes Yes."

The two chatted casually, and the man named Wang Lingxian didn't make them wait too long, and arrived soon.

Pushing the door open, a fat man about 1.8 meters tall came in, with short hair and a fleshy face, looking a little tough.

As soon as he entered the room, he looked around with no expression on his face.

"Producer Wang, sit down." Wu Na greeted Wang Lingxian to sit down with a smile on her face, and then introduced, "This is my friend, Fan Zhe, the boss of Dimension Entertainment."

"Hello, Producer Wang." Fan Zhe greeted politely.

"Hmm." Wang Lingxian waved his hand and didn't say much. Fan Zhe didn't like this person very much at first glance because of his defiant look.

This guy, doesn't he know about Dimension Entertainment's current negotiation with him? Anyway, he is also the producer in charge of post-production.

Fan Zhe murmured in his heart, and the atmosphere on the table was slightly awkward for a while. He didn't want to say anything more, the guy surnamed Wang on the opposite side also seemed to be indifferent to answering, and Wu Na's efforts to liven up the atmosphere in the middle were futile.

Then, the waiter started to serve the food.

After eating casually for a couple of times, Wang Lingxian put down his chopsticks and said, "You can't eat without a drink."

"Hey, that's right. I'm going to get something to drink. What do you want?"

"Wuliangye."

"Okay." Wu Na nodded with a smile, and asked the waiter to bring a bottle of white wine.

After opening the wine, Wang Lingxian pointed to his glass and said, "Pour it for me."

Fan Zhe frowned, feeling very uncomfortable, and opened his mouth to say something, but was held down by Wu Na next to him.

Oona stood up and poured wine for her.

Wang Lingxian showed the first smile after meeting, which was a bit annoying. When Wuna finished pouring the wine, he grabbed Wuna's hand and said, "Have a drink with me."
