Chapter 44 Spending 600 million to shoot a TV series (asking for tickets, asking for collections, asking for reading)
"Really?" Zhang Yang was overjoyed, but his face was still silent: "I don't know if I can see the original effect?" ”
He was a little afraid that this Mr. Du was boasting, after all, these two characters can greatly affect the data of the second season, and they are also related to the gambling contract with the Zhou family, so he proposed to see the original results.
"Yes." Mr. Du looked like he was purely engaged in technology, and he didn't know much about the world, so he took people to Rhea's technical department directly after hearing Zhang Yang's request.
When he came to the technical department, Zhang Yang saw many programmers working the keyboard and designing various things.
Mr. Du took him to a computer, pointed to the screen and said, "This is the finished product we made for others before." ”
On the screen is the image of a woman, close to real life in every way, but still makes the difference visible at a glance.
Listening to Mr. Du's introduction in his ear, Zhang Yang observed carefully, frowned and said: "It still feels a little worse, I want to be more real, it is best to be able to put it in the picture, if the audience does not look carefully, they can't see that this is a virtual character at all." ”
Hearing this, Mr. Du frowned, and after a moment of silence, he said: "It can be done, but if you want to be completely unable to see it, I'm afraid it won't work, after all, it is an image made by a computer, and there will definitely be some differences with real people." ”
"Do you know the metaverse video series that has set off overheating on the shake? There is a character in it that Liu Yexi is very similar to a real person, and Hua Zhibing of the Green University in the imperial capital, they are all the same as real people. ”
Zhang Yang nodded: "I've brushed it." ”
As soon as Mr. Du reminded him, Zhang Yang immediately remembered that he had indeed swiped these two videos.
Both of these characters are made avatars, and they are enough to be real in every way, and if they are not really made by computers, many people will think that they are real people.
Even after so much time, there are still many people on the Internet who search for questions such as whether Liu Yexi is a real person.
To be honest, when he first saw the video, he thought it was a real person.
"Can Rhea do that?"
Mr. Du was extremely sure: "Yes." ”
Hearing such an affirmative answer, Zhang Yang finally put his mind at ease, since Rhea has no technical problems, then the biggest problem in the second season has been solved.
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Wei Zizheng on the side proposed to have a meal together, and Zhang Yang readily agreed.
After signing the contract the next day, Fu Yiming needed to go back to deal with a lot of things because of the backlog inside the watermelon, so only Zhang Yang returned to Xuanyu alone.
As soon as he returned to the company, Li Xiaoqiang came to report with a brand new script.
"Mr. Zhang, this is a new script that has been changed according to your requirements."
Before, Li Xiaoqiang had already handed in the first version of the script, but because several screenwriters found by Dousheng added a lot of unnecessary plots, the whole script was very different from the original book, and was beaten back by Zhang Yang.
"Okay, you go get busy."
After taking the script, Zhang Yang waved his hand and asked him to concentrate on reading it when he went back.
It took him almost three days to go through the entire script.
According to the script setting, the second season will start from Zhang Wei falling into the sea and continue to the finale, ending with Wang Chao defeating GOD and becoming the first in the world.
The whole drama is expected to shoot 72 episodes, and each episode will still be about 1 hour long as in the first season.
It turns out that the content in the original books that does not exist has been deleted, some unnecessary plots have also been deleted, the plots and love lines added by several screenwriters without authorization have all been deleted, and the untimely plots have also been modified, and the scenes of GOD and Ba Liming have been lengthened, some parts of Wang Chao and Tang Zichen have been aggravated, and the duration of some supporting roles has been appropriately reduced.
After such an operation, this script can be regarded as meeting his requirements.
"That's it."
Satisfied, he retracted the script, and Zhang Yang picked up his phone and took a look.
Just when he felt that the script was passed, the system funds had arrived.
“...... 600 million yuan has been received. ”
This is the money given by the system, which is completely legal and compliant and can withstand the investigation of any party.
Now the system level has reached level 2, and the available amount of each work has reached 100 million yuan, and there are 72 episodes in the second season, just 600 million.
This money plus the 100 million invested by Dousheng before, in addition to deducting the 50 million he decided to hack, plus some material support that is difficult to measure with money from Dousheng, the total investment in the second season of Dragon and Snake is close to 700 million!
A 72-episode TV series invests 700 million!
Terrifying!
He didn't even know how to spend it.
Even if the actors' salaries are full, the special effects are full, and everything can be done, the 700 million may not be spent.
The second season of Dragon and Snake is not a real fantasy blockbuster!
If you shoot "Eternal Life", "Yang God", "In the Snow", "Sword Comes", "Covering the Sky", "Perfect World", "Tomb of the Gods", 700 million may not be enough, but in the end, the dragon and snake are more national arts, the background is ready-made, no special effects are needed, and there is no big scene like waving your hand to destroy the star universe, 700 million?
How do you tell him to spend?
The system also stipulates that it can only be used for aspects related to filming, and Zhang Yang can't spend it even if he dies, and the rest of the money will have to be recycled at that time.
7 billion, 7 billion, I can't spend it in a lifetime~
It turns out that sometimes having money is also a kind of pain, and Zhang Yang finally understood.
"The money is all black, and the rest of the money should be used up to develop the company."
Thinking that in the first season before, the money would be used to create a company, and the system did not determine the violation, so there should be no problem this time, and the mood of reluctance is much better.
With the money, the script was also done, and the actor problem was solved by Fu Yiming with the follow-up, the preliminary preparations for Dragon Snake were finally over.
The project was officially established in the second quarter.
There are more than 100 characters in the whole play, and the three directors led the team to shoot in groups, passing through several countries such as Dragon Kingdom, overseas and Southeast Asia, and the filming time is expected to be half a year.
Rhea is solely responsible for the special effects.
In terms of props, we have prepared a variety of sports cars, firearms, helicopters, yachts, boats, etc.
The soundtrack paid 8 famous singers to create 6 new theme songs and 6 ending songs, and the interludes were all contracted by several veteran music studios in the industry.
In addition, several huge green screen studios were built, and many scenes were set up.
The investment amount of the whole drama is declared to be 600 million.
......
As soon as the news was released, the whole network was shocked!
Spend 600 million to shoot a TV series!
Who has seen it?
When has Dragon Kingdom ever had such a big investment in a TV series?
It's not a special effects blockbuster!
One counts as one, and everyone who saw this news was all frightened, and there were people who said anything!
