Chapter 102: The movie is released
The essence of the human soul is the realm of the dimensional system that cannot be reached.
Of course, it may not be possible that the 'dimension' does not touch the lower limit of some so-called 'actors' in performance.
For example, the performance called Li Yang in "Demon Shadow War", such as An Bao...... Well, forget it, it's not blind, anyway, the audience is not blind, they all have experience.
Actors are looking for, but who are they looking for, that's a question.
Traffic stars? It's too expensive, I can't afford it, and these current traffic stars, Fan Zhe's acting skills can't be seen.
He has never believed that the attention brought by those traffic stars can be compared to the bad impact of the low quality of the series.
Although the truth is always slapping him in the face.
In fact, he has always been puzzled, who are watching those dramas? So what kind of fan is really that much?
After removing the traffic stars, there are not many options left.
Why didn't Fan Zhe want to find someone like Hu Ge to play Chu Ge and Liu Yifei to play Shen Yan?
But now these two coffee seats are not small, and expensive is not the main problem, the key is not to be moved.
It's a little sad.
But after talking to Ye Jiayi, Fan Zhe planned not to think about this aspect of the matter for the first time.
The project is set up, the preliminary work is done, and then the director and actors are found according to the budget.
According to Ye Jiayi and Fan Zhe's preliminary calculations, the investment scale of the "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" project to be launched by Wedo Entertainment will reach 200 million yuan.
Of course, it is impossible to really give 200 million, and Dimension Entertainment does not have that much money.
Of the total investment of 200 million, 70 to 80 percent will be paid to 'Dimension Technology' as a special effects budget, which is almost 150 million or 60 million.
Here, the accounts will be hedged through financial channels, after all, the 'dimension technology' is also its own.
The remaining tens of millions are serious for Dimension Entertainment to smash out, as shooting expenses and actors' salaries.
Among them, the actor's salary will be the majority.
This price is quite embarrassing. If you don't invite a big name, you can't afford to invite it, and the medium-level one feels a little uncomfortable.
It's a head-scratching thing.
"We haven't done anything about it." Ye Jiayi said, "This is a completely new field to us, do you really want to step into it?" ”
"Really." Fan Zhe said.
Not only the TV series, but also the movies.
Whether it is an animated film or a live-action movie, rushing into the big screen with the most brilliant visual effects is his predestined idea and goal from the very beginning.
With the 'dimensional' system in hand, it's not interesting to mess around on a small screen.
"Then I have two directions for the record." After thinking for a while, Ye Jiayi put forward her own opinion: "First, we can pull up the project team by ourselves, but this requires a producer or director who knows enough to know, otherwise if we do this by ourselves, there will be a lot of unexpected troubles." ”
"The second is to find a production company with a mature production process, we will fund, we will produce the post-production special effects, and the shooting will be handed over to them."
"I'll pick the first one." Fan Zhe said.
"That's going to be harder."
"But it will be of great help to our future development, we will always take this path, if we have to pay tuition, it is better to pay late than early."
Ye Jiayi glanced at him deeply and said, "Okay, when the time comes, I will follow up on the issue." The crew is established, and I will start preparing for it. ”
"Thank you for your hard work." Fan Zhe said, "Actually, I have an idea about the choice of director. ”
"Who?"
"Du Zhengde, I had an experience of working with him." Fan Zhe said, "He may not be the best director, but he has a lot of experience and ability, and it is enough to direct at least one TV series." ”
Ye Jiayi also knew this person, she asked: "But, didn't Du Zhengde enter the film circle?" Is he still willing to come back and make a TV series? ”
Fan Zhe smiled and said, "He doesn't want to, but sometimes, many things are not as simple as whether he is willing or not." ”
What he is thinking about is the release results of the movie "Shadow War".
This work can be regarded as the first commercial film with a good investment scale that Du Zhengde took over. The grades exploded, and he took off; The grades are average, and it is also a qualification, and there is a mixture; If the results are bad...... Not to mention that he will also follow the streets, at least the way to enter the commercial film circle will inevitably suffer a serious setback.
Fan Zhe was waiting for this opportunity.
He didn't know what the results of "Shadow Wars" would end up with, but he was able to participate in the production of this movie. It is a guarantee that there is 'Dimension Entertainment' to be responsible for the production of special effects, but the chaos and power struggle within the crew make Fan Zhe very optimistic about the final results of this film.
Anyway, it's been a few days since the release.
……
One day in August, "Shadow Wars" was officially launched.
A lot of publicity has been done for this film.
Especially the little fresh meat called Li Yang.
This effect of self-contained traffic has to be said to have its value. posted stills on Weibo and interacted with fans, and there was a large number of popularity, and it was also on the hot search; went on a popular variety show to promote it, and the popularity went up all of a sudden.
But that can't stop the flood of bad reviews.
On the first day, the score of "Demon Shadow War" on Douban was 6.5, which seems to be qualified, but in fact, there is a lot of water here. Under most five-star reviews, there is nothing empty. It's a lot of one-star bad reviews, which is reasonable.
On the second day of release, the water army couldn't bear the anger of the audience, and the score dropped all the way, first falling to a few o'clock, and then sliding all the way to 4.9.
"When I saw Li Yang's face that looked like he was mentally retarded, I wanted to throw up."
"I don't understand, so many crews like to invite Xiao Xianrou? The acting skills are so garbage that I can't bear to look at it directly. ”
"The plot is rubbish."
"Garbage +10086"
"I think it's good, it's cool to fight the Demon King in the final battle."
"This film is nothing but special effects."
"The action design is sloppy, and it's blind to such good special effects."
"If you have the money to do such good special effects, can't you hire a decent action design team?"
……
It seems that the reason why the rating stopped when it fell to 4.9 is really purely because the special effects are not bad.
These evaluations, in fact, roughly represent the impression of this film in front of the public.
Poor plot; The editing logic is confusing; The acting skills of the actors, especially the leading actors, have been criticized; The action design is sparse......
In such a low evaluation, if there is anything that can be considered a good review, it is the special effects.
"I found out that the special effects were actually made by Dimension Entertainment, no wonder."
There are many such evaluations.
Of course, there has not been a kind of work in history that has a bad reputation but a box office hit.
But it's clear that "Shadow Wars" is not like this.
