Chapter 138 The works speak
Among the cast of "Fantasy Three Kingdoms", except for Tong Liya, there is only one Jiang Jingfu who can barely show off.
But their competitor, "History of the Qing Palace", is much stronger in this regard.
There are four or five people who are similar to Tong Liya's popularity, and there are also more famous people who take out than her; there are also many second- and third-tier actors left.
The cast may not necessarily determine the quality of the film, but who will let the audience take this set?
TV stations, video websites, and movies are not for art, but for viewing and viewing.
Moreover, there is another point that must not be ignored, lies in the two companies, "Da Tang" and "Dimension".
"Datang Entertainment" is an old film and television drama production company. They have been deeply engaged in this industry for more than ten or twenty years. Although they are not the top film and television company in China, they have achieved certain results in such a long time. Their connections, relationships, and even the foundation of the entire company are incomparable to "Dimension Entertainment", a company that has just entered the film and television industry.
Passed
At least, judging from the current situation, they would rather spend more money to buy the film "The History of the Qing Palace" than pay a lot of money to buy "Fantasy Three Kingdoms".
This is the current situation, and Fan Zhe and Ye Jiayi also felt helpless.
In fact, it wouldn't be too uncomfortable if the premiere can be sold for 100 million yuan, but this is seriously inconsistent with the initial goal of Weidu Entertainment.
The first broadcast is a large part of the revenue, but it is not the whole of a TV series. The subsequent rounds of broadcasts, even overseas copyrights, will currently constitute other sources of income for a drama, and the proportion will not be particularly low.
If it really sells 100 million for the first broadcast, it is not unreasonable. As long as the broadcasting results are very popular, through subsequent operations, the final profit will reach 200 million, 300 million, or even higher.
Besides, the investment in "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" is said to be "two million", but the big part is all about visual effects. This work is done by Weidu Entertainment itself, and the cost is not that high at all.
If you sell 100 million, Weidu Entertainment will also make money.
But the problem is that the accounts cannot be settled like this, and Fan Zhe himself cannot accept this price.
"The price is not to be negotiated. Stop all the contacts in this regard."
"Ye Jiayi actually had the same plan, but she still asked more: "What are you going to do after that?"
"Make the work first." Fan Zhe said, "With the work, we will get twice the result with half the effort when we talk about commercial matters. At the same time, I also believe that the quality of our works will definitely impress many people."
...
After refocusing on the work, Fan Zhe ran to the editing room more frequently.
However, he is still very self-aware in this regard. He is an amateur in film and television dramas, and it is okay to make suggestions, but relying on investors and bosses to run up and point fingers, it will be too annoying.
It would be fine if you were hated, but the key is that you might mess up the work.
However, despite this, he couldn't help but run to the editing room. He was very concerned about the entire editing work.
The special effects produced through the 'dimensional' system are a bit different from those of ordinary film and television special effects.
For example, the work "Fantasy Three Kingdoms", when Dimension Entertainment first produced, it imported a large number of character designs and scene design drawings into the "Dimension" system, and Dimension has already begun to evolve in this aspect.
But for the final synthesis, there must be shot.
The most common method at present is to cut out a set of rough cuts after the shooting is completed, which will contain a large number of green screen scenes, and the flying Wia has not been repaired.
With this rough cut version, then give it to the special effects company to make special effects.
The key to doing this is to save money. How expensive is this special effects? If an uncut lens is used to make special effects, it will be cut off after it is made, which will waste too much money.
But there is no big problem here in Dimension Entertainment.
Anyway, it's just the calculation amount and electricity bill.
The most important thing is that this will further compress the production time without waiting for the entire shooting or the editing. Moreover, the completed special effects shot is provided directly, so that the editing can see the effect intuitively, and the final video will also be more outstanding.
So at that time, Fan Zhe asked Du Zhengde to pick out some shots that needed special effects first, and then did it first on "Dimension Entertainment".
The result is also quite good. On the one hand, the special effects were completed in advance. On the other hand, when Du Zhengde and the editing team he led, when editing the film, all the special effects were already available and could be seen intuitively, so they became more handy.
What's more, the waste level of special effects is also very low, which is completely within an acceptable range. After all, under the control of the "dimensionality", the production of special effects is very accurate. With the combination of text descriptions and a large number of illustrations, it perfectly matches each shot, and there is almost no waste.
With Fan Zhe's attention, the time came to the end of June and early July, all the post-production of the TV series "Fantasy Three Kingdoms 2" had been completed.
The whole film has forty-six episodes, which is about ten more episodes than the original planned episodes.
The reason for this is that according to the original work, there are not many parts that have been deleted and modified. The whole story is relatively long, and if you don’t deliberately compress and delete it, the forty-six episodes will be almost the same.
In fact, many of the TV series on the market are more learned from Japan and South Korea.
Especially Korean dramas.
This also makes a large number of domestic commercial dramas often have a situation where they often have seventy or eighty episodes.
The benefits are also obvious, with more episodes and more playback time, and when the results are guaranteed, the benefits will obviously be more obvious.
This situation can naturally be true if it is put into "Fantasy Three Kingdoms".
During the editing, Du Zhengde also mentioned it specifically to Fan Zhe.
"Mr. Fan, if necessary, I can cut the film to 60 to 70 episodes, and it won't have any major impact on the quality, but the rhythm will be a little slower..."
"No need." Van Zhe thought for a while and gave his own answer, "It's good to follow this now, keep a faster pace, and the series will be more attractive."
