Chapter 105: Crew Building

Du Zhengde's salary is not low, when he directed "Shadow War", his salary reached 1.5 million.

If "Shadow War" succeeds, he will indeed be able to reach a higher level, whether it is the salary or the status in the circle.

But it's a pity that that movie hit the streets.

This will obviously affect the price of the subsequent works he will take over.

Although Fan Zhe strongly invited Du Zhengde to join the film "Fantasy of the Three Kingdoms", the price is ...... Anyway, it was Ye Jiayi who talked about it, not Fan Zhe.

In the end, Du Zhengde's salary was the same as his filming of "Shadow War".

……

The preparation for the series is very complicated, and a lot of work has to be done by the producer.

Fan Zhe has the title of chief producer, but he has little experience in this area. In addition, in Du Zhengde's cooperation negotiations, it was also confirmed that the director comrade would be given enough power in the crew, so Fan Zhe simply gave him the title of producer.

This veteran director, who has been in the industry for more than ten or twenty years, has rich experience and can help a lot in the preliminary preparation and the construction of the crew.

That's one of his values.

In addition, it is impossible for Wedo Entertainment to really let the director hold all the power, and Fan Zhe cannot rest assured.

After discussing with Ye Jiayi, they also sent an executive producer to the crew, who was responsible for a lot of logistics work for the crew, and also acted as a supervisor.

This work is undertaken by Tang Zhiqi. All the expenses of the crew have to go through her hands, and she will supervise them to ensure that the money can be spent on the blade.

At the same time, Ye Jiayi, who is a nominal producer, will not interfere in the normal work of the crew, but she is handling the commercial operation of the entire film.

One of the things she's very busy with now is to lead the commerce department of 'Dimension Entertainment' to handle the distribution of dramas.

Generally, small production companies will entrust publishers to distribute this kind of distribution, but if the scale is relatively large, they will choose to distribute it independently.

After all, TV series are still not the same as movies. is like making a movie, almost always looking for a release, such as Guangguang, Huayi, Bona, etc., which hold great power.

Distributors are almost upstream of the film market, the people who hold the lifeblood.

TV series are better.

The creation of the TV series of "Fantasy Three Kingdoms 2", with such a large investment scale of 200 million, will definitely take the way of TV stations and network simulcasts. Not much to say about the Internet, through the work "The Evolution of the 4.6 Billion Ensemble", Wedo Entertainment has also accumulated some distribution experience in TV stations.

This matter was handed over to Ye Jiayi to follow up.

And Fan Zhe is in the name of the chief producer, and his main job is still responsible for creation.

He needs to control the progress of the whole film, take care of all the art-related work, and he will also supervise the running of the crew.

……

The creation process of the script was relatively smooth.

It is estimated that the revisions should be completed by mid-to-late September at the latest.

And before that, the crew had already started to build.

After the communication between Fan Zhe and Du Zhengde, most of the main content of the TV series "Fantasy Three Kingdoms 2" will be filmed under the green screen studio, and there is very little content in the real scene.

Du Zhengde is currently in contact with the team he has worked with, from photography to props to makeup to drama management......

He is an old man, and there are still a lot of talents in this area who have cooperated.

In this area of personnel recruitment, he is responsible for the contact person, the money must come from the crew funds of "Fantasy Three Kingdoms", Tang Zhiqi will supervise the expenditure of the entire cost, and ensure that every penny is spent on the crew. Moreover, it is not only the crew recruitment that costs money, but also some equipment.

At the same time, Fan Zhe also specially explained to Tang Zhiqi that he should pay attention to the recruitment of talents filmed by these crews. In the future, Wedo Entertainment will not only shoot this TV series, but there will be more filming projects in the future. It's also a good thing to accumulate these things while someone is leading the way now, and hurry up and accumulate them yourself.

Of course, the overall crew construction work is not too rushed. Even if the crew is assembled, it will be difficult to start filming immediately for a while and a half - now the film has not even decided on the actors.

Ye Jiayi is in charge of this work.

Du Zhengde and Fan Zhe got together and discussed a list of actors.

There are a lot of people on this list, but there are very few particularly big names.

According to the budget, the budget left for the actor's salary is about 30 million.

In the current actor market, at this price, it is not difficult to find good actors; It is difficult to find actors with high fame and good acting skills.

Considering the issue of feasibility, there are very few first-line actors on this list.

The list will be given to Yip, who will be responsible for sending invitations to various brokerage companies.

If some people want to come, they should be able to make a decision directly; For some actors, it will take a little audition to decide, and this audition will be performed by Fan Zhe and Du Zhengde.

At the same time, there are alternatives in Ye Jiayi's hands - if some roles are really difficult to find suitable actors, then you can also try to use newcomers.

Even, she also submitted a plan to Fan Zhe, about the idea of establishing a 'Dimensional Entertainment Brokerage Division'.

Since Wedo Entertainment will inevitably get involved in the film and television industry in the future, it is also a good thing to establish its own brokerage department and train actors by itself.

This thing is done, and it is needless to say that there is no need to make money, and the key is to not flow fertilizer and water into the fields of outsiders. Wouldn't it be good to use the actors trained by your own company for your own company's projects? At the same time, it is also good for the project.

Fan Zhe took a cursory look and signed to agree.

Ye Jiayi had an idea, so let her do it.

In addition to the construction of the crew, Fan Zhe also busily began to lead the company's art team and established the project team of "Fantasy Three Kingdoms".

A large number of scene paintings have been planned by the copywriter and assigned tasks.

Five or six artists have already started working, and among them is Luo Qi, the pillar of support.

Luo Qi's best art style, in Fan Zhe's opinion, happens to be consistent with the work "Fantasy of the Three Kingdoms".

And several other people are also familiar with the art department.

Of course, this amount of manpower is definitely not enough for this project. But now, another project of Dimension Entertainment has also opened.

It was the third season of "Full Time Master", and Miller was leading the production of this project, and used most of the company's painters to work, even Sun Yilang was helping in it. Moreover, in two months, the production of the fourth season of "Task Force" will also begin, and the manpower will become even more stretched.

But it doesn't matter, a new round of recruitment has already begun.

——

It's going to be on the shelves tomorrow night, so I'm nervous......

Kneel down and beg for your support!
