After a moment of silence, Ye Jiayi slowly spoke: "The scale of the project is similar to "Fantasy Three Kingdoms"?"

"Absolutely," said Fan Zhe, "but the investment will definitely be much higher, mainly in the actor's pay."

When filming "Fantasy Three Kingdoms", Dimension Entertainment didn't have that much capital. It was said to be an investment of 200 million yuan, but in fact, only 50 million yuan was used for shooting. The rest were thrown into "Dimensional Technology" to make special effects.

But this time, the situation will be different.

"I guess the investment amount this time is 400 to 500 million. The special effects are actually not much different. The extra capital investment is mainly to hire a relatively powerful action design team and the actors' pay. Especially the latter, the few actors I am thinking about are also priced at a little."

"How much is the estimated investment in addition to the special effects part?"

"Uh... the specific budget is waiting for you to do, but... I feel that it is almost 200 million?"

“…Who is the director?”

"I."

"Is it so big?" Ye Jiayi said with his forehead.

In the last movie, he filmed "Hell Apartment", he could also say that he was practicing. The investment of 20 million yuan was actually only 5 million yuan, of which 2 million yuan was given by others. Weidu Entertainment paid out three million yuan seriously.

This is not bad. Three million is a bit expensive. The boss of Weidu Entertainment can afford it.

Now it's great. After a movie was filmed, I was so full of expansion that I started a TV series project, investing in 500 million, and the cost of filming was directly increased by 200 million.

For the current Weidian Entertainment, if such an investment fails, it will not hurt the body, and it will be a bit uncomfortable.

"Hehe..." Fan Zhe smiled a little embarrassedly, but he didn't mean to withdraw his thoughts.

Ye Jiayi looked at him and finally sighed, saying, "I'll go and make a budget. By the way, you said you'd like to build two new projects. Which one is there in addition to "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts?"

"Uncle Ruzi."

IP copyright is a very important part of the company's assets. In addition to what has been developed, those lying in the copyright library are also very important.

Ye Jiayi remembers the copyright he owns clearly, including content summary and content type.

When Ye Jiayi heard the name "The Emperor of Ruzi", he quickly remembered what kind of story this is.

This is an overview of historical themes. The main highlight of the content lies in the characters and power struggles. It is not suitable for animation IP, and it does not even require too many visual effects.

In other words, "The Emperor of Ruzi" can not take advantage of its company's strong technical capabilities.

“Is it appropriate?”

"I think I can do it, but I won't be able to do this movie anymore. I'll ask Director Du if he has any interest."

"Okay." Ye Jiayi paused and added: "If you want to film "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts", you can establish a project now; but if "The Emperor of Ruzi" is to be promoted, it will take at least three or four months, otherwise we will be under too much pressure."

"No problem, I get it."

...

If it was a month or two ago, Fan Zhe wanted to be a director himself and start a work with a total investment of over 500 million yuan, Ye Jiayi would not agree.

She would feel that Van Zhe's reckless and impulsive disease had been dealt with again, and would feel that he was joking.

But things are different today.

Fan Zhe wants to open this project, so let’s start it.

However, the company is currently a little tight in terms of funds.

"Fantasy Three Kingdoms" made a lot of money, which is of course. However, after "Fantasy Three Kingdoms", Weidu Entertainment also launched many projects.

Two seasons of "Amber", one season of "4.6 billion entourage", and one "Hell Apartment" movie. Of course, the biggest one is in the game "Taigo Painting Scroll 2".

This involves too much money.

Although "Amber" made a lot of money in the first season, domestic accounts arrived soon, but overseas revenues took time to share the accounts. The same situation also happened in "Hell Apartment", and box office profits were profitable, including the subsequent copyright operation, but the money would take some time to arrive.

In addition to the gold-swalking beast "Taiwu Painting 2", if Weidu Entertainment wants to start a new project, the funds will still be tight.

Not to mention starting two projects at the same time, in fact, just "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts", it is quite stressful to make a serious effort to pay out 200 million yuan.

However, these days, business fools use their cash flow to do it.

With the current strength of Weidu Entertainment, a company of such a large size and strong ability to make money, the company's financial situation is extremely healthy... In this case, Weidu Entertainment started a new project and wanted to start debt financing. A large number of banks and investment institutions rushed to give them money, and even knelt down.

This operation is exactly what Ye Jiayi is good at. Using the income from the "Master of Martial Arts" project as a guarantee, there should be no problem in solving the funding gap.

With Ye Jiayi's escort, Fan Zhe can naturally charge forward with confidence and boldness.

The project team was officially established, and Fan Zhe led the preliminary work of the entire project with the woman Luo Qi.

The main background of the work "Master of Martial Arts" takes place in modern cities, but this is a very special modern world. When martial arts flourished and entered the so-called "non-human" stage, they were really able to step on the void and be invincible with one punch and one kick. These powerful warriors, either combined themselves or inherited by ancient sects, formed modern martial arts clubs and formed leagues. In the form of a ring, the top warriors struggled on it.

This kind of martial arts feels a bit like the King of Fighters.

At the same time, this work is nicknamed "The Grandmaster of Dog Food" by book friends, because the emotional scene between the male protagonist and the female protagonist is so sweet!

From all aspects, this is a very suitable work for adaptation. So Fan Zhe focused on it.

Don’t be in a hurry to build the crew. Fan Zhe has to be busy with some preliminary preparations, including many visual design things, which must be done first. In addition, the script is also necessary.

The person in charge of script adaptation is Li Qingzhao, who has joined "Weidu Entertainment" for more than a year or two.

When that girl was writing the script of "Fantasy Three Kingdoms", Fan Zhe was quite satisfied, and "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts" could also be handed over to her.

However, what Fan Zhe didn't know was that when he was immersed in the preliminary preparations for "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts", news of the launch of new dramas in Weidu Entertainment had spread throughout the film and television industry.
