In the cast of "Fantasy of the Three Kingdoms", in addition to Tong Liya, there is only one Jiang Jingfu who can barely get a little hands.

But their competitor, "The Jade History of the Qing Palace", is much stronger in this regard.

There are four or five people who are about the same popularity as Tong Liya, and there are also coffee spots higher than her; There are also many second- and third-tier actors left.

The cast does not necessarily determine the quality of the film, but who makes the audience eat this set?

TV stations and video websites don't buy films for art, they all buy them for ratings and broadcasts.

Moreover, there is another point that must not be overlooked, which lies in the two companies themselves, 'Datang' and 'Weiwei'.

'Datang Entertainment' is a veteran film and television drama production company, they have been deeply involved in this industry for more than ten or twenty years, although they are not the top film and television companies in China, but in such a long time, they have made certain achievements, their connections in the circle, relationships, and even the background of the entire company are incomparable to the 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 "Jade History of the Qing Palace" than pay a lot of money to buy "Fantasy Three Kingdoms".

This is the status quo, and Fan Zhe and Ye Jiayi also feel helpless.

In fact, if the premiere can be sold for a price of 100 million, it is not too uncomfortable, but this is seriously inconsistent with the original goal of Wedo Entertainment.

The premiere is a large part of the revenue, but it is not the whole story of a TV series. Subsequent rounds of broadcasting, and even overseas copyrights, will constitute other sources of income for a drama at present, and the proportion will not be particularly low.

If the premiere sells 100 million, it is not too unreasonable, as long as the broadcast results are popular, through follow-up operations, it is not impossible to reach 200 million, 300 million, or even higher in the end.

Besides, for the first time, the investment in "Fantasy of the Three Kingdoms" is called '200 million', but most of it is smashed on the visual effects, and the work in this area is still done by Wedo Entertainment itself, and the cost is not so high at all.

sold 100 million, and Wedo Entertainment also made money.

But the problem is that the account can't be calculated like this, and Fan Zhe himself can't accept this price.

"There's no need to negotiate this price, let's stop all contact in this regard."

"Hmm." Ye Jiayi actually had the same plan, but she still asked more: "What are you going to do after that?" ”

"Let's make the work first." Fan Zhe said, "With the works, we can talk about commercial things to get twice the result with half the effort." At the same time, I also believe that the quality of our work will definitely impress many people. ”

……

Returning his attention to the work, Fan Zhe ran to the editing room more often.

However, in this regard, he is still very self-aware. I am a layman in film and television dramas, and it is okay to make suggestions, but if I rely on the identity of an investor and a boss, I will be too annoyed if I run up and point fingers.

It's just that people hate it, but the key is that if you don't do it well, it will make the work worse.

Still, despite this, he couldn't help but run to the editing room. He was very attentive to how well the whole clip worked.

The workflow of the special effects produced through the 'dimensional' system is a bit different from that of ordinary film and television special effects.

For example, in the work "Fantasy of the Three Kingdoms", when Dimension Entertainment first produced it, a large number of character designs and scene design drawings were imported into the 'Dimension' system, and 'Dimension' has already begun to evolve in this regard.

But to do the final compositing, there is always a shooting shot.

At present, the more common method is to cut out a rough cut version after the filming is completed, which will contain a large number of green screen scenes, and the flying Weiya has not been repaired.

With this rough cutout, then take it to a special effects company to do special effects.

The key to doing so is to save money. How expensive are special effects? If you don't cut the footage, you can use it for special effects, and after you make it, it will be cut out, which will waste too much money.

But here at Dimension Entertainment, it's not a big problem.

Anyway, it's just the amount of calculus, the electricity bill.

Most importantly, it will further reduce the production time, so you don't have to wait for the whole shot to be completed and you don't have to wait for the edit. Moreover, the finished special effects shots are directly provided, and the effect can be seen intuitively when edited, and the final effect of the film will be even better.

So, at that time, Fan Zhe asked Du Zhengde to pick out some shots that needed to be made for special effects first, and then 'Dimension Entertainment' did it first.

The results are also quite good. On the one hand, the production of special effects was completed ahead of schedule, and on the other hand, Du Zhengde and the editing team led by him will become more handy when cutting the film, because all the special effects are already available and can be seen intuitively.

What's more, the degree of waste of special effects is also very low, and it is completely within the acceptable range. After all, under the control of 'Dimension', the production of special effects is very accurate, with text descriptions and a large number of illustrations, perfectly matching every shot, and there is almost no waste.

Under Fan Zhe's attention, when the time came to the end of June and the beginning of July, all the post-production of the "Fantasy Three Kingdoms 2" TV series had been completed.

There are forty-six episodes in the whole film, which is almost ten more episodes than the original plan.

The reason why this is so is because the story of the whole film, according to the original book, there are not many parts that have been deleted. The length of the whole story is relatively long, and if you don't do deliberate compression and deletion, forty-six episodes are about the same.

In fact, many TV dramas on the current market will learn from Japan and South Korea.

Especially Korean dramas.

This also makes a large number of domestic commercial dramas often have the kind of situation of seventy or eighty episodes at every turn.

The benefits are also obvious, more episodes, more broadcast time, and with a certain guarantee of results, the benefits will obviously be more.

This situation can naturally be established when put on "Fantasy Three Kingdoms".

When editing, Du Zhengde also mentioned it to Fan Zhe once.

"Mr. Fan, if I need to, I can cut the film to 60 to 70 episodes, and it won't have a particularly big impact on the quality, but the rhythm will drag on a little ......"

"There's no need." Fan Zhe thought for a moment and gave his own answer, "It's good to be as it is now, keep a faster pace, and the episode will be more attractive." ”

"That'll do fine."
