Chapter 222: "Martial Arts Grandmaster" TV series
After being silent for a while, Ye Jiayi slowly spoke: "The scale of the project is similar to that of "Fantasy Three Kingdoms"? ”
"Almost." Fan Zhe said, "However, the investment will definitely be much higher, mainly in the actor's salary." ”
When "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" was filmed, Wedo Entertainment's funds were not so much. said that it was an investment of 200 million, but in fact, only 50 million was used for shooting, and the rest was thrown into 'dimensional technology' to do special effects.
This time, things will be different.
"This time, the investment amount, I estimate that it will be 400 to 500 million, the special effects are actually about the same, and the extra capital investment is mainly put into hiring a more powerful action design team, as well as the actors' salaries. Especially the latter, the few actors I am thinking of, the price is a little bit. ”
"Aside from the special effects, how much is the estimated investment for the rest?"
"Uh...... The exact budget is waiting for you, but ...... I feel pretty much ...... myself Two hundred million? ”
“…… Who is the director? ”
"Me."
"Playing so big?" Ye Jiayi raised his forehead.
In the last film, he filmed "Hell Apartment", which can still be said to be a practice, claiming to have an investment of 20 million, but in fact, it is only 5 million, of which 2 million was given by others, and Weiwei Entertainment took out 3 million.
That's okay, three million should be played, it's a little more expensive, and the boss of Dimension Entertainment can afford it.
This is good, after a movie is filmed, the whole person is so inflated that he can't directly open a TV series project, invest 500 million, and the cost of filming directly goes up to 200 million.
For the current dimension entertainment, if this level of investment fails, it will not hurt the muscles and bones, and it will always be uncomfortable.
"Hehe...... Fan Zhe smiled a little embarrassedly, but he didn't mean to retract his thoughts.
Ye Jiayi looked at him, finally sighed, and said, "I'll make a budget." By the way, you said that there are two new projects, which one is there besides "Martial Arts Grandmaster"? ”
"Emperor Ruzi."
IP copyright is a very important part of the company's assets. In addition to what has been developed, what lies in the copyright library is also very important.
Ye Jiayi remembers the copyright she owns clearly, including the content summary and content type.
Hearing the name "Emperor Ruzi", Ye Jiayi quickly remembered what kind of story this was.
This is an alternate historical theme, the main highlight of the content is the characters, the conspiracy, and it is not very suitable for animation IP, and it doesn't even need to do too many visual effects.
In other words, "Emperor Ruzi" can not give full play to the advantages of its own company's strong technical capabilities.
"Is it appropriate?"
"I think I can do it, but I won't do this one, I'll ask Director Du if he's interested there."
"Okay." Ye Jiayi paused, and added: "If you want to shoot "Martial Arts Master", you can set up the project now; However, if "Emperor Ruzi" is to be promoted, it will be at least three or four months later, otherwise our pressure will be too great. ”
"No problem, I see."
……
If it was a month or two ago, Fan Zhe wanted to be a director and start a work with a total investment of 500 million yuan, Ye Jiayi would not agree.
She would feel that Fan Zhe's reckless and impulsive illness had been committed again, and she would think that he was joking.
However, today, things are different.
This project, Fan Zhe wants to open, so let's open it.
However, at present, the company is slightly tight on funds.
"Fantasy Three Kingdoms" makes a lot of money, of course. However, after "Fantasy Three Kingdoms", Wedo Entertainment has also started many projects.
Two seasons of "Amber", one season of "Four Billion Episodes", and a "Hell Apartment" movie, the biggest one is, of course, on the game "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2".
That's a lot of money involved.
Although the first season of "Amber" made a lot of money, the domestic accounts arrived quickly, but the overseas income and account sharing took time. The same situation also happened in "Hell Apartment", the box office profit is profitable, including the copyright operation behind it, but the money will take a while to arrive.
Coupled with the gold-swallowing beast of "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2", if Wedo Entertainment wants to open a new project, the funds will still be tight.
Not to mention opening two projects at the same time, in fact, just "Martial Arts Grandmaster", it is also quite stressful to want to come up with 200 million in the Eight Classics.
However, these days, business fools only use their own cash flow to do it.
With the current strength of Wedo Entertainment, such a large company has a very strong ability to make money, and the company's financial situation is very healthy...... Under such circumstances, when Wedo Entertainment started a new project and wanted to start debt financing, a large number of banks and investment institutions rushed to send them money, even kneeling.
This aspect of operation is where Yip Ka Yi excels. With the proceeds of the "Martial Arts Grandmaster" project as a guarantee, there should be no problem at all to solve the funding gap.
On Fan Zhe's side, after having Ye Jiayi to escort him, he can naturally rest assured and boldly charge into battle.
The project team was officially established, and Fan Zhe took Luo Qi's woman to lead the preliminary work of the entire project.
The main background of "Martial Arts Grandmaster" takes place in a modern city, but this is a very special modern world. Martial arts are prosperous, and when they enter the so-called 'inhuman' stage, they are really able to step on the void and be invincible with one punch and one kick. And these powerful martial artists, either combined by themselves or inherited by ancient sects, formed a modern martial arts club, and formed a league, in the way of fighting in the ring, the top martial artists fought on it.
This kind of martial arts feels a bit like the King of Fighters.
At the same time, this work is nicknamed "Dog Food Grandmaster" by book friends, because the emotional drama between the male protagonist and the female protagonist is so sweet!
By all accounts, this is a great adaptation. So, Fan Zhe set his eyes on it.
There is no hurry to build the crew for the time being, Fan Zhe has to be busy with some preliminary preparations first, including a lot of visual design things, which must be done first. In addition, the script is also required.
Responsible for the script adaptation is Li Qingzhao, who has joined 'Wedo Entertainment' for more than a year and almost two years.
That girl, when she wrote the script of "Fantasy of the Three Kingdoms", she made Fan Zhe quite satisfied, and "Martial Arts Grandmaster" could also be handed over to her.
It's just that what Fan Zhe didn't know was that when he was immersed in the preliminary preparations for "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts", the news that Wedo Entertainment had a new drama project had spread all over the film and television industry.
And it caused an uproar.
