The total budget of the entire movie "Hell Apartment 2" is 30 million yuan.

"Weidu Entertainment" has acquired "Xinmo Media", which means that they have their own distribution channels and no longer need to look at other people's faces.

Of course, this means you have to bear the cost of promotion and distribution.

The company's promotional budget for "Hell Apartment 2" is about 20 million yuan.

In this way, the investment cost of Weidu Entertainment in "Hell Apartment 2" may reach 50 million, which means that they must at least get more than 120 million box offices in the market before they can ensure that they do not lose money after the box office is divided.

Perhaps, for ordinary low-cost movies, it seems not easy to reach the box office of over 100 million yuan, but "Hell Apartment 2" will obviously be an exception.

In addition to the attributes that are easiest to fight big with horror movies, the most important factor is that it is a sequel movie.

In today's film market, sequel movies are a very special existence, and when they hear them, investors will feel that the project is stable. However, in contrast, original movies are not so reassuring.

At present, it may be fine in China. Hollywood is really a hard-hit area. Non-adapted works or non-sequel works are generally unlikely to receive big investments. Even a big director of Nolan's level has received high investments in succession of original movies. Regardless of the quality of the movie, at least in the box office, it is still pale in comparison with a number of comic adaptations and novel adaptations.

This trend has gradually emerged in China, especially commercial films with large investments.

For "Hell Apartment 2", the previous work was considered successful. Although the total box office of 360 million is not a big number, low cost is very important.

What's more, the largest audience group of "Hell Apartment 1" is not in the cinema, but offline.

For the general audience, perhaps very few people will choose to go to the cinema and watch a scary horror movie.

However, there are many people who are willing to turn on their computers, log in to the Internet at night or at some point, and then find a scary horror movie to watch.

This can also be seen in the background data of the "Dimension Platform". Among the many contents in the "Dimension Platform", from the perspective of movies alone, "Hell Apartment" has the highest viewing volume.

Although the "Dimension Platform" introduces not many films, there are not many movies with a box office of more powerful than "Hell Apartment", but in terms of playback volume, none of them has higher than "Hell Apartment".

Moreover, it is not known whether it is due to gender or what. According to the data from the background, it is obvious that women prefer to watch horror movies than men.

With a certain audience base in the previous work, "Hell Apartment 2" does not require too much, and it has a box office of more than 200 million yuan, which is not a big problem.

This will almost make a small goal, the most important thing is that the investment risk is small.

The budget for film production is 30 million, and the budget for promotion is 20 million, which is only 50 million in total. There is no possibility of losing money.

What's more, the 20 million movie budget is to be put into post-production.

The remaining ten million miles of filming were still the actors’ pay.

The male protagonist, Li Ze, performed very well in the first part of "Hell Apartment". It is important to maintain the original lineup of the sequel movie, but the actors also have to make a living. If the last one is successful, this movie will no longer be paid for a small amount.

Adding money is inevitable.

Not only Li Ze, but also many actors in the first part, have a need for a salary increase.

Fortunately, Weidu Entertainment considered this when signing contracts with these actors earlier. These actors signed three film contracts at one time and stipulated that the increase in actors' pay should not exceed 20%.

Therefore, the room for actors' pay increases can still be controlled.

Of course, when all three films of "Hell Apartment" are completed, if the results are maintained and the fourth film is to be filmed again, I am afraid that all actors' pay will increase by a huge margin.

It depends on the situation at that time. If you still maintain the desire to shoot at a low cost, it will definitely not be able to afford that much cost. The best choice is to directly replace a group of actors, such as killing a group of plots in the third part, or simply stop filming at that time. At worst, that's the case.

"Hell Apartment 2" was finally handed over to the young director Ji Jiaxin.

Of course, no matter what, this is also a project involving tens of millions of funds. It is impossible to completely let such a director with less experience take charge.

"Weidu Entertainment" drew six producers from the company and put them in this project. Among these six people, some were responsible for controlling the shooting progress to prevent the filming work from being completed as scheduled; some were responsible for financial review; some were responsible for the administrative work of the crew; some were responsible for the construction and recruitment of the crew; some were responsible for the logistics work; some were responsible for the venue and the rental of shooting equipment...

One of the general producers, named Wang Zhixin, is a person with experience in producer work. He was originally a middle- and senior manager of "Xinmo Media".

These producers cover almost all aspects of the crew's shooting work, in order to prevent additional risks from happening in this project. The ultimate goal is to ensure that the film can be completed in a timely, high-quality and high-quality manner.

As for the post-production and editing work, it has nothing to do with the crew.

At present, the construction of the crew has begun. Fan Zhe’s task to Ji Jiaxin and general producer Wang Zhixin is to ask them to complete the crew formation before mid-November and then start the shooting work. All preliminary shooting tasks must be completed before mid-March next year.

In this way, including the time of post-production, it is estimated that the movie will be available online around April next year, and it was almost the Qingming Festival.

The promotional and distribution plan formulated by Weidu Entertainment for "Hell Apartment 2" is basically based on this path.

After all this, Fan Zhe turned around and began to pay attention to the project "The Emperor of Ruzi".

The filming of the crew of "The Emperor of the Ruzi" is a little later than that of "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts", and the entire shooting process is also longer.

This film and television drama, Weidu Entertainment invested nearly 200 million yuan, and it was a serious 200 million yuan, because there were very few special effects in this film, and the main attraction of the work lies in the plot and characters.

This is the first time that Dimension Entertainment has made such an attempt.
