Chapter 63: Movie Special Effects

After hanging up the call with Fan Zhe, Una made a call to Director Du Zhengde's mobile phone.

"Hello? Du Dao? I'm Una. ”

"Cortana? What did you call for? ”

"That's right, Director Du, didn't I hear about our drama before, but I haven't found a suitable special effects production company? I have a very good friend who does this and has some works. ”

"What company?"

"It's called Dimension Entertainment."

"Dimension Entertainment?" Director Du hesitated, "I haven't heard of this name......"

"You can find out, they have only been established for a long time, but the technical level is very good."

"Okay, I'll take a look at their work first, and if it's okay, let him contact the producer of the crew to talk."

"Okay, thank you Director Du."

"You girl, why did you start helping the crew find a special effects company?"

"It's not for the sake of the crew." Una is not stupid, it is impossible to say it directly.

Although people must know it.

……

Director Du Zhengde didn't care much about this matter, even after watching the works of 'Dimension Entertainment'.

"Full-time" and "Special Events Task Force" are not mentioned, pure 2D animation has nothing to do with movie special effects.

However, the CG animation of "Assassination Squad" is still okay.

The results are really good.

At present, there are several companies that are competing for the post-production special effects of his "Shadow War", and it is nothing to have one more 'Dimensional Entertainment'.

After sending a text message to Una and giving the producer's contact information, he left the matter behind.

Anyway, finding a special effects production company is not something that Du Zhengde can do alone. The money is from the investor, and he, the director, to put it bluntly, is also a part-time worker in this play, and he is just a high-level one. In this matter, he has the right to make suggestions, and the final decision is in the hands of the chief producer sent by the management.

……

After Fan Zhe got the producer of the movie "Magic Shadow War" and the contact information of director Du Zhengde from Una, he found Wu Jingtong.

Wu Jingtong was one of the five candidates who were invited to the company to participate in the face-to-face interview for the position of marketing director after Tang Zhiqi's video interview.

From the salary, from the work ability, from the interview results, Fan Zhe finally selected him after many considerations.

And now, there is a task for him.

Probably introduced the situation to Wu Jingtong, the newly appointed marketing director, Fan Zhe continued: "Go and contact the people who will make the film "Shadow Wars" and strive to win this project. ”

"Okay, I'm sure I'll get the job done."

Wu Jingtong is also excited now.

Entering the new company and taking on the position of 'director', although he is still a light commander for the time being, the task he receives is still very challenging.

Needless to say, he will definitely finish this matter well. He didn't want to enter a new company, and the first assignment he received from his boss was a failure.

After getting the contact information, Wu Jingtong did not rush to contact others.

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible, and he began to try his best to understand things about this crew through the Internet and through some consulting companies.

"Shadow Wars" is not a big production, and the investment cost of external publicity is hundreds of millions, but in fact, according to some of the information that Wu Jingtong has gotten, this is watery - their investment cost is 70 million, and it can't be more.

The 70 million, throw away part of the shooting cost, and then throw away the majority of the actors' salaries, and the rest of the money that can be used for special effects, I'm afraid it's not much.

In fact, after the initial contact, the price given by the film's investor, 'Xinmo Media', was only 17 million.

After learning about this situation, Wu Jingtong couldn't help complaining: Give 17 million for stepping on a horse, don't do special effects for fantasy films, it's better to dream.

It seems that the investment of 70 million is considered a big production?

It used to be true, but now it's hard to see it that way.

Domestic films have gradually entered the era of blockbusters.

Director Chen's "The Legend of the Demon Cat" is rumored to have an investment of 970 million; Director Zhang's "Great Wall" investment is even more than one billion.

In other words, even if it is put in Hollywood, it is a big production with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars.

In comparison, the investment of 70 million in "Demon Shadow War" is nothing at all, not even one-tenth of the Great Wall.

Just this investment, still making fantasy films? The special effects will be given 17 million?

Wu Jingtong seems to have seen another movie with five-cent special effects, which is about to be listed for money.

I complained crazy in my heart, but I still have to do my own things.

He actively communicated with 'New Ink Media'.

……

The film special effects project of "Magic Shadow War", Fan Zhe has been handed over to Wu Jingtong.

Although this talent has just joined the company, and it doesn't seem to be particularly old, Fan Zhe can't be so confident about his ability all of a sudden.

But there is no way, this young man is already the most reliable person in this area in the company. Tang Zhiqi is busy with other things, and his more important work now is to follow up on the sale negotiations of the second season of "Special Events Task Force".

In this way, it can only be handed over to him.

At present, the negotiations for the second season of "Task Force" have almost reached a critical time.

Xia Yuan, the chief operating officer of Station A, came to Wedo Entertainment very sincerely to talk to Fan Zhe about the second season.

However, he was destined to return disappointed.

"Mr. Fan, can't the price really be cheaper?"

"That's the bottom line."

"But...... The price of 12 million is too high......"

"Don't say that, at this price, I think it's worthy of the results of this work." Fan Zhe said that he was very angry that the first part was sold at a low price.

After "Task Force" became popular, Station A and Penguin Video, which bought the copyright of the first season, made a lot of money. Now, their first season hasn't finished broadcasting, and the film is popular, so they directly negotiated the resale contracts of the other six companies! According to Fan Zhe's knowledge, the average purchase price of these six companies is about 400,000 yuan, in other words, people have already recovered 2.4 million yuan by relying on this.

This is equivalent to the fact that their family spent 300,000 yuan to buy the premiere of the first season of "Special Events Task Force". Judging from the current popularity, the income of member on-demand not only pays off, but also earns a lot of money, plus advertising revenue, traffic import, new users, and ......

Station A and Penguin Video make a wave of blood!

This situation, Fan Zhe had expected earlier, this is the price of his giving up long-term income.

But I'm still very unhappy!

Now, Xia Yuan came to bargain again, how could Fan Zhe agree?

So, in the end, Xia Yuan could only leave in frustration.

After tasting the sweetness brought by the first season of "Special Events Task Force", he actually really wanted to buy the second season as well.

But it's a pity that the economic strength is here, and he can't afford such a high price.

Station A is out.
