The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

Du Zhengde's salary is not low. When he directed "Phantom Wars", his film salary reached 1.5 million.

If "Phantom Wars" is successful, he will indeed be able to improve to a higher level, no matter in terms of salary or status in the circle.

But unfortunately, that movie hit the street.

This will obviously affect the price of subsequent works he took over.

Although Fan Zhe tried his best to invite Du Zhengde to join the film "Fantasy Three Kingdoms", but in terms of price... Anyway, it was Ye Jiayi who talked about it, not Fan Zhe.

In the end, Du Zhengde's remuneration was determined to be the same as his filming of "Phantom Wars".

...

The preparatory work of the series is very complicated, and a lot of work has to be done by the producer.

Fan Zhe has the title of general producer, but he has no experience in this field. In addition, during the cooperation negotiations with Du Zhengde, it was confirmed that the comrade director would have enough power in the crew, so Fan Zhe simply gave him the title of producer.

This old director, who has worked in the industry for more than ten or twenty years, has rich experience and can help a lot in the preparation work and the construction of the crew.

This is also one of his values.

In addition, Dimension Entertainment can't really let the director control all the power, Fan Zhe can't rest assured.

After discussing with Ye Jiayi, they also dispatched an executive producer to the crew, who was responsible for a lot of logistical work for the crew, and also acted as a supervisor.

This work was undertaken by Tang Zhiqi. All the expenses of the crew have to go through her hands, and she supervises them to ensure that the money can be spent wisely.

At the same time, although Ye Jiayi, who is the name producer, will not intervene in the normal work of the crew, she is in charge of the commercial operation of the entire film.

She is very busy now, leading the business department of 'Dimension Entertainment' and handling the distribution of drama series.

Generally, small production companies will entrust publishers to distribute such things, but larger ones will choose to self-publish.

After all, TV shows are different from movies. For example, when making a movie, it is almost necessary to find a distributor, such as Guangguang, Huayi, Bona, etc., which hold great power.

Distributors are almost the upper reaches of the film market, the people who hold the lifeline.

TV shows are better.

With such a large investment scale of 200 million yuan, the TV drama creation of "Fantasy Three Kingdoms 2" will definitely be broadcasted by TV stations and the Internet. Not much to say about the network, through the work "Evolutionary 4.6 Billion Ensemble", Dimension Entertainment has also accumulated some distribution experience in TV stations.

Ye Jiayi was given full authority to follow up on this matter.

And Fan Zhe bears the name of the chief producer, and the most important job is to be in charge of creation.

He needs to control the progress of the whole film, be responsible for all art-related work, and he will also supervise the operation of the crew.

...

The writing process of the script was relatively smooth.

According to estimates, including revisions, it should be completely completed by mid-to-late September at the latest.

Before that, the crew had already started to build.

After the communication between Fan Zhe and Du Zhengde, most of the main content of the TV series "Fantasy Three Kingdoms 2" will be filmed under the green screen, with very little actual content.

Du Zhengde is currently in contact with the team he has worked with before, from photography to props to makeup to drama management...

He is an old man, and he has worked with many talents in this field.

For the recruitment of personnel, he is in charge of the contact person. The money must come from the crew funds of "Fantasy Three Kingdoms". Tang Zhiqi will supervise the expenditure of the entire cost to ensure that every penny is spent on the crew in a serious manner. . Moreover, the place where money is spent is not only crew recruitment, but also some equipment.

At the same time, Fan Zhe also specifically told Tang Zhiqi to pay attention to the recruitment of talents for these filming crews. In the future, Dimension Entertainment will not only shoot this TV series, there will be more shooting projects in the future. It is also a good thing to accumulate these things by yourself while someone is leading the way now.

Of course, the overall crew construction work is not too urgent. Even if the crew is formed, it will be difficult to start filming right away - the current film, even the actors have not yet been decided.

Ye Jiayi is in charge of this work.

Du Zhengde and Fan Zhe got together and discussed a list of actors.

There are many people involved in this list, but almost none of them are particularly famous.

According to the budget, the budget left for actors' remuneration is about 30 million.

In the current actor market, at this price, it is not difficult to find a good actor; it is more difficult to find an actor with high reputation and good acting skills.

Considering the issue of feasibility, there are very few first-line actors in this list.

The list is given to Ye Jiayi, and she will be in charge of sending invitations to various brokerage companies.

If some people are willing to come, they should be able to decide directly; while some actors need to go through a little audition before they can be decided. This audition will be performed by Fan Zhe and Du Zhengde.

At the same time, Ye Jiayi also has an alternative plan - if it is really difficult to find a suitable actor for some roles, then you can also try to use a newcomer.

She even submitted a plan to Fan Zhe, about the idea of ​​establishing the 'Dimension Entertainment Brokerage Department'.

Since Dimension Entertainment will inevitably set foot in the film and television industry in the future, it is also a good thing to establish its own agency department and train actors by itself.

When this thing is done well, it goes without saying that it will make money, the key is to keep the fat and water from leaking out to outsiders. Wouldn't it be great to use actors trained by your own company for your own company's projects? At the same time, it is also very good for the project.

Fan Zhe took a cursory look and signed his agreement.

Ye Jiayi had an idea, so let her do it.

In addition to setting up the crew, Fan Zhe also started to lead the company's art team busyly, and established the project team of "Fantasy Three Kingdoms".

A large number of scene paintings have been planned by the copywriter and assigned tasks.

Five or six artists have already started work, and Luo Qi is the mainstay among them.

Luo Qi's best art style, in Fan Zhe's opinion, just coincides with the work "Fantasy Three Kingdoms".

And the other few people are also familiar with the art department.

Of course, this amount of manpower is definitely not enough for this project. But at present, another project of Dimension Entertainment has also opened.

It was the third season of "Full-time Master". Mi Le was leading the production of this project and mobilized most of the company's painters to work, even Sun Yilang was there to help. Moreover, in two months, the production of the fourth season of "Task Force" will also start, and the manpower will further become stretched.

But it doesn't matter, a new round of recruitment has already begun.

——

It will be on the shelves tomorrow night, very nervous...

I beg everyone to support me!
