Du Zhengde didn't want to invite Xiao Xianrou, but the management wanted to invite him, and he objected, but it was obvious that the objection was invalid.

He can only accept this.

With an investment of 70 million, the joining of this popular traffic star took out a large part of it at once. plus some other actors, sixty percent of the entire investment amount was divided by the actors' salaries.

This is less common in the whole world, but it is common in China.

For example, in Hollywood, the United States, where the film industry is most developed, generally speaking, for a large-investment visual effects blockbuster, the actor's salary can account for 30% to 40%, which is considered to be more, and the remaining 60% will be reserved for actual shooting, and the most part will be put into post-production.

The investment in special effects can be regarded as a penny-for-nothing. How much money is invested and how much effect is there.

The overall investment is large, and the proportion of special effects production is high, which naturally brings in a large number of Hollywood visual effects blockbusters.

And in the country...... It is not uncommon for actors to account for 60% of a movie.

The scale of investment is not comparable, and the actors' salaries account for the majority, and it is not difficult to imagine that the five-cent special effects are frequent.

And for "Shadow War", this is a fantasy film. Of course, the scale of investment in domestic films is also rising, for example, Director Zhang's "The Great Wall" is said to have invested one billion yuan, and Chen Kaige's "The Legend of the Demon Cat" is also rumored to have reached 970 million yuan.

In comparison, "Demon Shadow Wars" is not particularly big.

In this context, actors still account for more than sixty percent, and then remove the shooting costs......

Isn't there only 17 million left for special effects?

Du Zhengde, the director, felt a lot of headaches about this.

He was very skeptical that the traffic and box office brought by that little fresh meat could withstand the impact of inferior special effects.

Du Zhengde was already very dissatisfied with the selection of roles, and in the actual shooting, the management was still constantly pointing fingers, which was even more annoying.

What's more, when he took over the film, in the negotiations with the investor 'Xinmo Media', it was stipulated that he had no final cutting power, only the right to suggest.

Anyone who knows a little bit about movies knows that the shooting of movies is one thing, and the editing is another.

It may be difficult for good editing to save a poorly shot film, but poor editing can easily ruin a well-made film.

Under many factors, Du Zhengde has gradually felt that he has lost control of this movie, in other words, he can't say what the final film will look like.

But he was not reconciled.

Director Du is forty and eight this year, and he is no longer young. He is a person who has risen from the bottom, has been born in advertising, made short films, and filmed TV series. It wasn't until he was in his forties that he started making movies.

At the beginning, it was all produced at a small cost, and slowly accumulated qualifications, and the last film barely had a little achievement, so that he had the opportunity to take over this "Demon Shadow War".

At that time, he was also carried away by the investment, and he was ambitious to make a film that made a success at the box office, but now he regrets it.

But it's useless to regret it, the film is already next, and the filming is over, what else can he do?

He really didn't want this movie to hit the streets.

In this circle, losers are ruthlessly abandoned.

He is not the kind of real big director, and there are still people who can continue to invest in two or three films on the street. If he pounces on this one, at least for a few years, he won't want to have anything to do with movies with large investments.

Director Du is still an ambitious person, and he is obviously on the rise, so he is unwilling to be interrupted or even hit the bottom.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't be willing to pull down his face and go to Una to persuade Fan Zhe for the investors he hated, anyway, this film doesn't have his investment, and his director's salary has nothing to do with the box office.

……

The copyright of the work "Hell Apartment" was finally bought by 'Dimension Entertainment'.

It was a few days before it was settled.

The final price was finalized in the form of two million.

This price is not too expensive.

As for the establishment of the project, it is still far away, and there is no hurry.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, the animation of the second season of "Special Events Task Force" has almost done it.

According to Sun Yilang's report, the general content has been produced, and only some tails remain. And in the case of two powerful workstations, which are specially responsible for the animation calculation of "Task Force", the pressure is not great.

The sound effects and dubbing work in the later stage have also begun.

After the whole estimate, there is basically no problem in completing the goal within the year, and the full film should be delivered to Penguin Video and Station B at the beginning of February, and the balance payment will be obtained.

When the time comes, a bonus will be issued, and everyone will be able to go to the New Year happily.

The future prospects of 'Dimension Entertainment' are very good.

While feeling relaxed, Fan Zhe answered a phone call, and it was Una calling.

Fan Zhe...... That "Shadow Wars" thing......"

"Huh? Could it be that the broken crew is making trouble for you again? ”

"No, it's not ......," Una was a little embarrassed.

"It's good if not. What's the matter, let's just say it, what are the two of us beating around the bush? ”

"Then I'll just say it......" Una said, "Director Du called me before and said that he wanted to ask me to persuade you again and let you take over the special effects production of this movie." Director Du took good care of me in the crew, so I promised him to persuade you. However, I know you have your own ideas, and if you've already decided, you can leave me alone. ”

"Hmm......" Fan Zhe pondered for a moment, and he said, "What do you think of yourself?" ”

"I don't have any ideas...... But I really think it's a pity that this project is just gone. ”

"Then do it."

"Huh?"

Is it so casual?

Fan Zhe smiled and said, "When I first agreed to go to that dinner, I originally wanted to support you. Since you have been relieved and have given an explanation over there, then forget it, you can tell Director Du that I will agree for your sake. ”

"I ......" Una didn't know what to say, "thank you......"

"You're welcome."

After hanging up the phone, Fan Zhe called Wu Jingtong over.

"You can continue to talk to Xinmo Media, but 17 million is not good, 20 million, at this price, they like to do it or not."

"Okay boss, they lost three million for a meal." Wu Jingtong was also happy, "The boss is smart, so he found an excuse to raise the price." ”

Fan Zhe: ???
