Chapter 379: Eggless Thing (2-in-1)
The rough cut version needs to be further finely cut, and it is definitely necessary to finally make a version that can be released in theaters.
When the time comes, this version will have to be submitted for review.
With the current situation of Wedo Entertainment, there will basically be no problem in passing the trial.
This is a serious domestic movie, and there is no problem with the content, and the two deadliest problems involving pornography and politics do not exist. The gore may be a little bit gore, after all, it is a fantasy battle theme, but the scale is still controlled within the acceptable range of the big screen, and there will be basically no problems.
Fan Zhe is still very confident that this movie will be sent for review, and it will still be able to be released without cutting it.
In terms of the special effects of the movie, he is more concerned.
I believe that every audience who enters the cinema to watch "Demacia: Glory" will definitely not tolerate this being a film with poor special effects.
One can imagine what kind of expectations a large number of audiences have before entering the cinema. And when the finished product they see does not match their expectations, then there will be a lot of anger, and it will all be sprinkled on the heads of dimensional entertainment.
Generally speaking, the audience will have a more tolerant attitude towards the special effects of domestic movies. You don't see, the special effects of "The Wandering Earth", on a global scale, are still relatively mediocre, and even have obvious flaws in many places, but they are still well received.
But if "Demacia: Glory" is made to that level, I'm afraid it won't be scolded to death.
Imagining that result, Fan Zhe shuddered.
After "Demacia: Glory" entered the 'dimensional' system and started the calculation, Fan Zhe was quite diligent in keeping an eye on the progress of the entire calculation. In addition, from time to time, after the calculation is completed, he will look at the effect combined with special effects and lenses, and dare not have any carelessness.
For the entire calculus level, he drove directly to the B level.
There is also an A-level on it, it's not that he doesn't want to open it, but with the current computing power mastered by Dimension Entertainment, the A-level calculation speed is a bit too slow to catch up with the release.
But grade B is enough.
According to the B-grade calculation results, it will not be worse than the vast majority of mainstream Hollywood commercial blockbusters, or even surpass.
Now, the 'Dimensional Supercomputing Center' has been established, and the entire factory has entered the final stage, and it is estimated that it will be ready for use by the end of this year.
At that time, the pressure on B-level calculus will not be as great as it is now, and individual key works can also be on A-level calculus.
……
While most of the production department of Dimension Entertainment was devoted to the post-production of Demacia: Glory, the rest of the company was also on the job.
At present, the film is scheduled for October 1, the day of the National Day holiday, and it is time for the publicity work to start on a large scale.
In fact, a year earlier, when Dimension Entertainment and Penguin Pictures reached an agreement to develop the film "Demacia: Glory", the news caused a thousand waves as soon as it was announced.
The main impact is definitely among the gamer community. It's just that the game LOL has a ridiculously large influence in China and has many players, so it has been on the hot search for a long time.
Everyone was crazy about the discussion and the excitement was amazing.
Of course, it's not that no one sings the opposite, saying that something like LOL must have very awesome special effects to look good balabala, and as a result, he was educated: What is made by Dimension Entertainment, can the special effects be worse?
At present, it is still Wu Jingtong who is responsible for the publicity work in the Wedo Group.
He was also recently promoted, from the director of the marketing department of Wedo Entertainment to the general manager of Wedo Entertainment, and was responsible for all external publicity work within the group.
This is also on the pinnacle of life.
He is now extremely glad that he made the right choice back then.
At that time, after careful analysis, he believed that the company had great development potential, and there was a great opportunity to take his career to the next level. But at that time, no matter how imaginative he was, he never imagined that he would be able to reach this position today.
Annual salary of millions? It doesn't matter anymore. Bonuses, dividends...... If these things are taken down, he won't be able to tell his parents about his income for a year, for fear of scaring the two of them.
His contribution is also worthy of these things.
In the past, he almost participated in the external promotion of most of the content produced by Wedo Entertainment, and won many battles.
He is the patriarch of the group, and he is also a hero.
This time, though, he found it a little uninteresting.
It's so easy.
The promotion of "Demacia: Glory" has hardly encountered any difficulty. The external propaganda was slightly intensified, and the public opinion immediately gave a very good response. Later, as soon as the release time was determined, he didn't need to exert any effort, and there was natural tap water everywhere, which helped Wedo Entertainment to spread the word.
Originally, he also made a lot of plans, and was always ready to do a big job with some competitors. It turned out that he threw all his eyebrows and eyes to the blind man.
No one jumped out at all.
After the success of Wedo Entertainment becomes more and more successful, it is inevitable that there will be direct conflicts of interest with many people, many companies, and many forces, and even many of them are purely pink eye.
These guys aren't anything to mess with, and they're going to come up and take two bites when they get the chance.
Once, these people annoyed Wu Jingtong a lot.
This time, however, all of them were gone.
That's true, the general trend is coming, the wheels are rolling, and the fool is in front of the hard top when "Demacia: Glory" is huge.
As for some clowns jumping off the beam, they don't need to be ignored at all.
Wu Jingtong felt uncomfortable.
"It's not challenging at all......"
He muttered rather dissatisfied.
……
There are really no people in the industry who dare to jump around at this time.
At the beginning, when the "Demacia: Glory" project was just established, in fact, the reaction in the circle was quite drastic, and these people were quite surprised: why are Dimension Entertainment and Penguin Pictures so bold?
In the current domestic film market, daring to spend 800 million on a movie and purely use it for film production is really no different from crazy.
Isn't this sick? That's not how big investments are played!
At the beginning, "The Legend of the Cat Demon" was claimed to be a billion investment, and most of it was actually invested in the construction of the venue, and a Datang film and television base was built. It was not only for "The Legend of the Cat Demon" to be the filming location, the local government had a lot of involvement, and finally developed into a film and television base, plus a tourist attraction, or 5A-level.
This kind of investment is reliable, anyway, the land and buildings are all in place, and the follow-up profits do not depend on the movie, but on the tourism industry, or it can simply be said that it is a real estate project, and the movie has become a means of publicity.
But "Demacia: Glory" is not, with a capital of 800 million, it is really smashed into the movie.
800 million funds, and then counting the publicity budget, how much does the box office of this movie have to sell to recoup? Even if the film is distributed by Wedo Group with its own 'Wedo Media', and there is no need to be deducted by the distribution company, the box office will have to sell at least more than 2 billion, or even 2.5 billion to recover the cost.
It's just a return to the basics.
If you want to have a barely acceptable profit, the minimum box office standard is 3 billion; If you want to earn a little more, or be able to use it as a successful work and a benchmark for success, you must exceed four billion.
It's horrible.
In the film industry, it is not said that there must be a corresponding return on how much money is spent. In this market, there is a miracle of hundreds of millions or even billions of funds at a small cost, but there is also a large amount of money that falls into the desolation of losing all its money.
If you want to make a good profit and hit the box office of 4 billion, how easy is it? What is the concept of four billion box office? At present, it can be ranked as a record in Chinese film history!
At that time, many people were watching the jokes of Dimension Entertainment and Penguin Pictures, and even many voices thought that this film might become the Waterloo of Dimension Entertainment, thinking that this emerging and bold company would pay a terrible price for its rashness, and even it was normal for it to collapse because of it.
However, these thoughts disappeared a lot in an instant after the release of "Martial Arts Grandmaster: War" some time ago.
"Martial Arts Grandmaster: War" has a box office of more than 3.5 billion, which scares many people.
Many people no longer dare to blind BB, "War" has slapped countless people in the face, and no one wants to be beaten again on "Glory".
People have already had a big investment in exchange for a big success in front of them, who would dare to say that the second big deal of Wedo Entertainment will hit the street?
Even if it's a curse in your heart, it's best to be cautious in your mouth.
What's more, sometimes this kind of thing is not just a slap in the face.
When he was beaten in the face, he was beaten, and the loss of money was really distressing.
Earlier, "Deadly Action", a movie that was favored by many people in advance, was bombed into scum under "War", which is still vivid.
……
In the middle of summer in July, there was a private party somewhere in the capital.
The people gathered here are the senior managers of many companies in the Beijing circle, as well as some well-known directors, people from good brokerage companies, and a small number of artists.
It can be said that this is a high-end gathering in the film and television circle of Beijing.
In previous years, at gatherings like this, the focus of everyone's discussion should be the current summer file, talking about the secrets of the industry.
Only this time it's different.
The current heat of the summer file is just like a fake, and everyone's attention has been pulled away by the movie "Demacia: Glory".
The investment of 800 million, the top IP, the special effects of Wedo Entertainment, and the emotions that have been inherited from the success of "War......
All of this adds up to a big change in people's expectations of whether this movie can be successful.
Perhaps the only thing that is relatively difficult to understand is how successful "Glory" can be.
Of course, there are still some people who still hold on to some of the ideas of the past, and feel that the investment cost of "Demacia: Glory" is too high and too risky, and it will hit the street if it is not done. But most of these ideas arise because of one factor: acid.
This kind of mentality is normal, regardless of whether you succeed or not, anyway, when others succeed, they look uncomfortable, and they feel that it is an accident and they will definitely fail next time.
And people with a normal mentality have clearly realized at this time that "Glory" will most likely not be able to pounce.
"Lao Zhen, your movie is going to be postponed?" A pot-bellied poop merchant leaned next to a man and asked.
"Hmm." The person known as Lao Zhen nodded, his face a little bitter.
"As for ......," a man with long hair and a full beard appeared next to him, "Lao Zhen, your movie has been finalized before, and the publicity seems to have started, right?" Such a sudden change of schedule, a lot of publicity funds have been wasted! ”
"If I have a choice, how can I possibly want to change the schedule?" Lao Zhen said angrily, "But what can be done?" My film was released on the same day as "Demacia: Glory"! What else can be done without changing gears? ”
"Afraid of what?" The long-haired one said, "Every day I treat Dimension Entertainment as a man-eating tiger, isn't your film a comedy?" The genre is different from "Glory", it will be released at the same time, why are they afraid? ”
"Yes." The fat man also helped, "Wedo Entertainment is just a new company, it is a rookie in the film industry, and it doesn't contact us, Lao Zhen is at the same time as him, them!" Don't be afraid! ”
"Huh." Lao Zhen sneered and said, "You're not afraid, don't you also have a film?" It's only three weeks late, so it's early to be at the same time as "Glory", and suppress them! ”
The fat man shrank his head and said, "My ...... Belch...... It's an action movie, an action movie, do you know it? It's the kind of thing that can't be done against Dimension Entertainment...... You guys, it's still okay......"
"Huh." Lao Zhen sneered again.
The long-haired man shook his head and said, "You two, what a shame for our gang!" ”
Lao Zhen turned his head and looked at him: "You can say whatever you want now, anyway, you haven't released a movie in the near future." However, Director Lei, the film you are doing now in the later stages is not preparing to hit the Spring Festival file? It is said that the dimension of the people is in the Spring Festival file, and there is also a film called "Taiwu Picture Scroll" to be released, and when the time comes, I will see how Lei Dao suppresses the people in the dimension. ”
“…… Then we will study and study. Lei Dao was choked for a moment, and then said with a dry smile.
"......Shh
Not far away, Peng Zhili, who was listening to the group of people chatting around, snorted disdainfully.
"It's a bunch of stuff with no eggs!"
I used to think that this fixed party was still a very high-end place, and the people who came were quite energetic, but I didn't expect that when everyone really wanted to contribute, they would be so cowardly.
Hmph, if it weren't for our Huayi movie, the summer file would have been released, and there would be no film on Eleven, so I would have gone up and done it myself!
But...... Even so, it doesn't seem to be impossible.
Isn't this a Hollywood blockbuster that has been imported recently?

After writing it in the evening, I simply sent it out early in the morning.
