Du Zhengde did not want to invite a young man, but the investor wanted to invite him, but he opposed it, but it was obvious that the objection was invalid.

He can only accept this.

With an investment of 70 million yuan, the joining of popular traffic stars suddenly took out a large part of it. In addition, some other actors, 60% of the total investment amount was divided by the actors' pay.

This is not very common throughout the world, but is very common in China.

For example, in Hollywood, the United States, where the film industry is the most developed, it is usually a large-scale visual effects blockbuster with a large investment, with a large pay of 30% to 40%, and the remaining 60% will be left for actual shooting, while the most will be put into later production.

The investment in special effects can be considered as getting what you pay for. How much money is invested, how much effect will be.

The overall investment is large, and the proportion of special effects production is high, so naturally it has brought in a large number of Hollywood visual effects blockbusters.

And in the country... it is not uncommon for a movie to account for 60% of the actors.

The investment scale is not as good as the actors' pay, and it is not unbelievable that the frequent release of 50 cents of special effects is now available.

For "The Legend of the Demon Shadow", this is a fantasy film. Of course, the investment scale of domestic movies is also increasing now. For example, Director Zhang's "The Great Wall" is said to have invested 1 billion yuan, and "The Legend of the Demon Cat" directed by Chen Kaige is also rumored that the investment has reached 970 million yuan.

In comparison, "The Legend of the Magic Shadow" is not particularly big.

Under this background, actors account for more than 60% of them, and then the shooting costs are eliminated...

Isn’t it just 17 million left for special effects?

Director Du Zhengde felt a headache about this.

He was very suspicious whether the traffic brought by the young man and the box office brought by the young man could be worthy of the impact of poor special effects.

Du Zhengde was already very dissatisfied with the role selection, and in actual shooting, the investors were still constantly pointing fingers, which was even more annoying.

What's more, when he took over the film, he negotiated with the investor "Xinmo Media" that he had no final cut right and only had the right to suggest.

Anyone who knows a little bit of movies knows that filming is on one hand and editing is on the other hand.

It may be difficult for a good edit to save a bad movie, but it is easy to destroy a good movie with a bad edit.

Under many factors, Du Zhengde gradually felt that he had lost control of this movie. In other words, he could not even tell what the final film would look like.

But he was not willing to give up.

Director Du is 48 years old this year and is no longer young. He is a serious man who has gotten up from the bottom of the house. He is a commercial, filmed short films, and filmed TV series. He was in his forties before he started filming movies.

At the beginning, they were produced at a low cost and gradually accumulated qualifications. The previous film had barely achieved some results, so they had the opportunity to take over the movie "The Legend of the Magic".

At that time, he was also blinded by investment and was ambitious to make a movie that made achievements in the box office, but now he regrets it.

But regret is useless. The film has been taken over and the film has been finished. What else can he do?

He really doesn't want the movie to fail.

In this circle, losers will be abandoned mercilessly.

He is not a real big director, and there are still people who can continue to invest in two or three movies. If he loses this movie, he will not be related to a large-scale movie for at least several years.

Director Du is still an ambitious person. He is obviously on the rise, but he is interrupted or even hit the bottom. He is unwilling to accept it.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't be willing to look down on his face for the annoying investors and go to persuade Fan Zhe. Anyway, this movie does not have his investment, and his director's pay has nothing to do with the box office.

...

The copyright of the work "Hell Apartment" was eventually bought by "Weidu Entertainment".

The negotiation will take place a few days later.

The final price is about two million.

This price is not expensive.

As for project establishment, it's still far away, so there's no hurry.

As we see, the Chinese New Year is about to be celebrated, the animation of the second season of "Special Events Task Force" is almost done.

According to Sun Yilang's report, the general content has been produced, with only some tails left. The two powerful workstations are specifically responsible for the animation calculations of the "Task Team", and the pressure is not great.

The later sound effects and dubbing work have also begun.

According to the entire estimate, there is basically no problem in achieving the target within the year. In early February, the entire film should be delivered to Penguin Video and Bilibili, and the final payment will be obtained.

When you give a bonus, everyone can happily celebrate the New Year.

The future prospects of "Dimension Entertainment" are great.

While feeling relaxed, Fan Zhe answered a call, which was called by Wuna.

"Van Zhe...that thing about "The Legend of the Demonic Shadow"..."

"Hmm? Could it be that the broken crew is causing trouble for you again?"

"No, no..." Una was a little difficult to speak.

"It's good. If you have anything, just tell me, why are we two going around the bush?"

"Then I'll just say it..." Una said, "Director Du called me before and said he wanted to ask me to persuade you again and let you take over the special effects production of this movie. Director Du took good care of me on the crew, so I promised him to persuade you. However, I know you have your own ideas. If you have made a decision, you can ignore me."

"Well..." Fan Zhe pondered for a moment, and he said, "What do you think?"

"I have no idea...but I really think it's a pity that I just don't want this project."

"Then do it."

"ah?"

Is it so casual?

Fan Zhe smiled and said, "When I first agreed to go to that dinner, I originally wanted to support you. Since you have relieved and have given an explanation there, let's forget it. You can tell Director Du that I agreed to it for your sake."

"I..." Una didn't know what to say, "Thank you..."

"You're welcome."

After hanging up the phone, Fan Zhe called Wu Jingtong over.

"You can continue to start talking to Xinmo Media, but it won't be 17 million, just 20 million. Just this price, do they like to do it or not."

"Okay boss, they lost three million for a meal." Wu Jingtong was also happy, "Boss is smart, so he found an excuse to raise the price."
