The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

The work "Hell Apartment" can be regarded as a representative book of horror and thrillers among online novels.

It is generally a bit like an infinite flow, but it does not travel through time and space.

This book generally tells the story of the protagonist, Li Yin, who lives in a horrible apartment.

This apartment has two rules.

The first rule is that you must never leave the apartment for more than forty-eight hours, unless you are performing a 'scarlet mission'.

The second is that the blood task must be performed.

Violate these two rules, then you will die.

The so-called mission in blood is only in this apartment. Once blood appears on the wall of the room, you must go to the designated place according to the instructions of the blood, complete the prescribed time, or do the prescribed things. And once you arrive at the pointed place, you will face endless spooky and terrifying phenomena, and countless ghosts and ghosts in the depths of the nightmare will appear everywhere and claim your life.

And although the apartment is called hell, the apartment is the safest place. If you leave the apartment, you may be harmed by ghosts outside.

To enter this apartment is to embark on a road of no return.

Fan Zhe still remembered that he often read this novel in the middle of the night. He is not very good at reading ghost stories, and his resistance to this aspect is relatively weak, so when he reads this book, he is often scared out of his wits.

Let him do the adaptation of a horror movie... well, it shouldn't be so scary if he does the creation... right?

But no matter how you say it, this is also a work he likes more, and the key is that the price of the IP adaptation discussed is not expensive. After receiving the full copyright, Lewen's asking price is only 3 million, and there are still more to come. room for discussion.

According to Fan Zhe's estimation, the final price should be able to be compressed to around 2 million yuan, or it might be even cheaper.

This is very reliable.

The copyright of the work "Hell Apartment" is almost guaranteed, and Fan Zhe is thinking about what form the work should be produced in.

animation? Not bad, but not good enough.

I always feel that a horror movie should be a better choice for a live-action drama.

But filming a live-action drama is a bit beyond Fan Zhe's experience.

In his understanding, the creation of a drama series is divided into three parts: preliminary preparation, official filming by the crew, and post-production.

Maybe the problem of post-production will not be too big. Although 'Dimension Entertainment' has not done work on film and television special effects for the time being, it should be able to solve it under the premise that the 'Dimension' system has this function.

However, what preparations should be made in the early stage, and what should be done for the specific shooting?

There should be a special person in charge of this part. If Fan Zhe does it himself, he will have to pay a lot of tuition fees.

It doesn’t matter the tuition fee, time cost is a very important issue.

However, although there are many difficulties, this is the road that must be walked. In the future, Fan Zhe doesn't want the business of 'Dimension Entertainment' to be limited to animation.

Of course, animation, including the follow-up CG animation with higher technical content, must be the top priority of the company's business. However, many works that Fan Zhe likes are best expressed in movies and TV series.

There must always be a beginning.

In Fan Zhe's conception, the beginning is either "Hell Apartment" or "Fantasy Three Kingdoms".

...

Oona, who was staying at home reading a book, received a call.

It belongs to Du Zhengde.

"Hello, Xiao Wu?"

"It's me, Director Du."

"Well... I have something, I want to ask you for a favor."

From the embarrassment in Director Du's voice, Wu Na probably guessed the purpose of Du Zhengde's call.

as expected.

"Can you... please contact Mr. Fan? Persuade him. You have also participated in this project. If the filming effect is good and the box office is high, it will be very beneficial to yourself."

Wu Na said: "Boss Fan and I are just friends, and I'm afraid I can't influence his decision. Since he has decided not to do this project, I can't persuade him much."

Du Zhengde on the other side of the phone was complaining in his heart: friendship? This friend is really strong enough.

But you can't say that with your mouth. Although he is a director, not a big name, but he has a bit of fame, and his status is definitely not comparable to that of a young actor like Wu Na.

In fact, this is indeed the case. In the crew, he is quite supportive of Wu Na, but he thinks too much if he wants to communicate on an equal footing.

However, the situation is different now, there is a man named Fan Zhe standing behind Wu Na.

The boss of a company that can do special effects, but now it is their crew who are looking for someone.

There is no way.

Because of this, Du Zhengde wouldn't be able to talk to Wuna in a low voice, but he certainly couldn't be arrogant.

Taking a deep breath, Du Zhengde changed direction and continued to persuade: "The overall value of this project is 17 million. Think about it, what is the concept of 17 million? This is a big deal. If Mr. Fan It would be a pity if you gave up because of a little personal conflict."

"this……"

Sensing a change in Wu Na's attitude, Du Zhengde made persistent efforts: "Think about it, in fact, in the end, that guy Wang Lingxian was a bit unruly at the beginning. Of course his behavior is very bad, but there's no need for him to This little thing just ruined the whole business, right? Besides, Wang Lingxian has already received the punishment he deserved and was immediately fired from the crew. Xiaowu, I think you have to calm down and talk to Fan Always talk."

These words moved Wu Na.

Wu Na hated Wang Lingxian very much. However, after all, she is no longer young and frivolous. She understands the concept of seventeen million, which is money that most people can't earn in their entire lives.

She didn't want Fan Zhe to lose so much because of herself.

If Fan Zhe really didn't want to do it himself, then that's fine; but obviously 'Dimension Entertainment' and the crew of "Phantom Warriors" had already talked about the same thing, and it turned out that something happened because of him.

Really not good.

"All right, Director Du."

"You agreed?"

"Well... I will call Fan Zhe to persuade him, but I can't guarantee the result."

"It's okay, it's okay, just do your best, just do your best."

After hanging up the phone, Du Zhengde wiped the sweat from his brow.

He is very, very, very dissatisfied with the investor right now.

Earlier, when he received such a commercial production, he was quite happy; however, after the crew was set up, he gradually encountered many unsatisfactory things.

It's true that he is the director, but he has very little power in the crew. Invest in the United States, learn from Hollywood, and implement the producer system. Hu Kang, the chief producer, has more say in the crew than him.

The most concentrated performance lies in the casting.

Du Zhengde didn't want fresh meat at all. He knew that the participation of those traffic stars would bring a lot of fans, but that person's acting skills... He really didn't like it.

Moreover, the remuneration of such a popular traffic star is too expensive.

However, Hu Kang, on behalf of the management, insisted on asking for it, which left Du Zhengde with nothing to do.
