The Fantasy Entertainment Empire - Chapter 379
The rough cut version needs to be further refined, and finally a version that can be launched in theaters is definitely necessary.
At that time, this version will still be submitted for review.
With the current situation of Dimension Entertainment, there will be no problems in passing the trial.
This is a serious domestic movie, and there is no problem with the content. The two most fatal problems involving **** and politics do not exist. The blood may be a little bit gore, after all, it is a fantasy battle theme, but the scale is still controlled within the range that the big screen can accept, and there will be basically no problems.
Fan Zhe is still very confident that this film can be sent to the review, and it can still be released without cutting it.
As for the special effects of movies, he is more concerned.
I believe that every audience who enters the cinema to watch “De Marcia: Glory” will absolutely not tolerate that this is a film with no special effects.
It is conceivable what kind of expectations a large number of audiences have before entering the cinema. And when they see the finished product that is not in line with their expectations, then there will be so much anger, and it will all be sprinkled on the head of Dimension Entertainment.
Generally speaking, audiences are more tolerant towards the special effects of domestic films. Don’t you see, the special effects of “Wandering Earth” are still relatively mediocre when viewed on a global scale. There are even obvious flaws in many places, but they are still well received.
But if “Demacia: Glory” is made to that level, I am afraid that it will not be cursed.
Imagining the result, Fan Zhe shuddered.
After “Demacia: Glory” entered the ‘dimensional’ system and started the calculation, Fan Zhe watched the progress of the calculation very diligently. Moreover, from time to time, after completing a part of the calculation, he would look at the effect combined with the special effects and the lens, and he did not dare to be a little bit careless.
For the entire calculus level, he went straight to the B level.
There is also an A-level above. It is not that he does not want to open it, but based on the calculation power currently mastered by Dimension Entertainment, the calculation speed of the A-level is a bit too slow to keep up with the release.
But B grade is enough.
According to the results of the B-level calculations, it is no worse than most mainstream Hollywood commercial blockbusters, and even surpasses them.
Now, the ‘Dimensional Supercomputing Center’ has been established, and the entire factory is about to enter the final stage, and it is estimated that it will be available by the end of this year.
At that time, the pressure of B-level calculations will not be as great as it is now, and individual key works can also be used for A-level calculations.
…
While most of the energy of Dimension Entertainment’s production department has been devoted to the post-production project of “De Marcia: Glory”, other departments of the company are also constantly working.
Currently, the film is set for October 1, the National Day holiday, and it is time for the publicity work to begin on a large scale.
In fact, a year earlier, when Dimension Entertainment and Penguin Pictures reached an agreement to announce the development of the movie “Demacia: Glory”, this news aroused a wave of waves as soon as it was announced.
The main influence is definitely still in the game player community. It’s just that the LOL game has an outrageous influence in the country, and there are so many players, so the whole network is this thing, and it has been hanging on the hot search for a long time.
Everyone discusses frantically and is very excited.
Of course, it’s not that no one sings the opposite, saying that something like LOL must have very awesome special effects to look good. As a result, I was educated: Is the special effect of the things made by Dimension Entertainment worse?
At the moment, Wu Jingtong is still responsible for the propaganda work within the Dimension Group.
He has also been promoted recently, from the director of the marketing department of Dimension Entertainment to the general manager of Dimension Entertainment, and is responsible for all external publicity work within the group.
This is also the pinnacle of life.
He is very fortunate now that he made the right choice back then.
At that time, after careful analysis, he believed that Dimension Entertainment was a company with great development potential. Joining in has a great opportunity to take his career to the next level. But at that time, no matter how imaginative he was, he couldn’t expect to be able to reach his current position.
Millions of annual salary? It doesn’t matter anymore. Bonuses, dividends…After these things are taken, his income for a year is not easy to tell his parents, for fear of scaring both of them.
His contribution is worthy of these things.
In the past, he almost participated in the external promotion of most of the content produced by Dimension Entertainment, and he has won many battles.
He is the veteran of the group, but also a hero.
However, this time, he felt a little bit boring.
It’s so easy.
The promotion of “Demacia: Glory” hardly encountered any difficulty. The external propaganda was slightly increased, and the public opinion immediately gave a very good response. Later, as soon as the release time was confirmed, he didn’t need to use his strength, and there was natural tap water everywhere, helping Dimension Entertainment to advertise it.
Originally, he also made a lot of pre-plans, and was always ready to fight against some competitors. It turned out that he threw all his brows and eyes to the blind man.
No one jumped out at all.
After Dimension Entertainment has become more and more successful, it will inevitably have direct conflicts of interest with many people, many companies, and many forces, and many of them are purely pink-eye.
These guys are not something to provoke, and they will come up and take a bite if they take the opportunity.
Once, these people annoyed Wu Jingtong.
But this time, all these monsters disappeared.
It is true that the general trend is coming, the wheels are rolling, and the fool is only in the front when the “Demacia: Glory” is so powerful.
As for some jumping clowns, it doesn’t make sense at all.
On the contrary, Wu Jingtong felt that he was not quite used to it.
“It’s not challenging at all…”
He muttered quite dissatisfied.
…
There are really no people in the industry who dare to fumble around at this time.
When the “De Marcia: Glory” project was just established, the reaction in the circle was quite violent. These people were quite surprised: Why are Dimension Entertainment and Penguin Pictures so courageous?
In the current domestic film market, if you dare to squeeze 800 million yuan on a movie, and use it purely for film production, it is really no different from being crazy.
Isn’t this sick? That’s not how big investments are played!
At the time, “The Legend of Cat Demon” claimed to have invested one billion yuan, and most of it was actually invested in the construction of the venue, building a Datang film and television base. That was not only used as the shooting location for “The Legend of Cat Demon”, the local government had a lot of intervention, and finally developed into a film and television base, plus tourist attractions, it is still 5A.
This kind of investment is reliable. Anyway, the land and buildings are all right there. The subsequent profit does not depend on the film, but on the tourism industry, or it can be said that it is a real estate project, but the film has become a reality. A means of propaganda.
But “Demacia: Glory” is not, the capital of 800 million, that is really smashed into the movie.
With 800 million funds, plus the announcement budget, how much does this movie have to sell at the box office to get back the cost? Even if the movie is distributed by Dimension Group under its own ‘Dimension Media’, without being deducted by the distribution company, the box office will have to sell for more than 2 billion, or even 2.5 billion, to return the cost.
It’s just getting back to the original cost.
If you want to have a margin that can be reluctantly accepted, the minimum box office standard is 3 billion; if you want to make a little bit more, or to be a successful work, it must be more than 4 billion.
This is horrible.
The film industry does not mean that there must be a corresponding return for how much money you spend. In this market, it is a miracle that hundreds of millions or even billions of funds can be knocked out with insignificant small costs, but there are also a large amount of funds that have fallen into the desolation of nothing.
If you want to have a good profit and hit the 4 billion box office, how easy is it to say? What is the concept of four billion box office? At present, it can be ranked in the record of Chinese film history!
At that time, many people were watching the jokes of Dimension Entertainment and Penguin Pictures, and there were even a lot of voices. They thought that this film might become the Waterloo of Dimension Entertainment, and that this new and courageous company would It’s normal to pay a tragic price for your own risky advancement, and it is also normal for you to feel helpless because of this.
However, these thoughts disappeared in an instant after the release of “Budo Master: Fire of War” some time ago.
The box office of “Budo Master: Flames of War” exceeded 3.5 billion, which scared many people.
Many people don’t dare to be blind BB anymore. “Fire of War” hit countless people in the face, and no one wants to be beaten again on “Glory”.
People have already had a big investment in exchange for a big success experience before, who would dare to say that Dimension Entertainment’s second big deal will hit the street?
Even if it is cursing in your heart, it is best to be cautious.
What’s more, sometimes this kind of thing is more than just a slap in the face.
I was beaten when I was beaten in the face, and the loss of money is really distressing.
Earlier, “Deadly Action”, a movie that was watched by many people beforehand, was bombarded into scum under “Fire of War”. That’s still vivid.
…
In the midsummer of July, a private gathering somewhere in the capital.
The people gathered here are the senior managers of many companies in the capital circle, and there are also some well-known directors, people from good brokerage companies, and a small number of entertainers.
It can be said that this is a high-end gathering of the Beijing film and television circles.
In previous years, at gatherings like this, the focus of everyone’s discussion should be the current summer file, to talk about the secrets of the industry.
It’s just different this time.
The current heat of the summer file is just like the holiday. Everyone’s attention has been taken away by the movie Demacia: Glory.
The investment of 800 million yuan, the top IP, the special effects of Dimension Entertainment, the sentiment that the success of “Fire of War” continues…
All these add up to make people’s expectations for the success of this movie have a great change.
Perhaps the only thing that is relatively puzzled is how successful “Glory” can be.
Of course, there are still some people who still hold on to some of the ideas of the past, and feel that the investment cost of “De Marcia: Glory” is too high and the risk is too high, or they will be on the street. But most of these thoughts are due to one factor: acid.
This kind of mentality is normal. No matter whether he succeeds or not, others will look uncomfortable when he succeeds, and think that this is an accident, and he will definitely fail next time.
People with a more normal mentality have already soberly realized at this time that “Glory” will most likely not be able to hit it.
“Lao Zhen, your movie is going to be postponed?” a potbellied businessman asked as he leaned next to someone.
“Yeah.” The person called Lao Zhen nodded, his face a bit bitter.
“As for…” A man with long hair and a beard appeared next to him, “Lao Zhen, your movie has been fixed before, and the publicity seems to have started, right? This suddenly changes the schedule and a lot of publicity funds. It’s a flicker!”
“If there is a choice, how could I want to change the schedule?” The old Zhen said irritably, “but what can I do? The release time of my film happened to hit the same day as “Demacia: Glory”! What else can I do if there is no shift period?”
“What are you afraid of?” The long-haired man said, “Every day, Dimension Entertainment is regarded as a cannibalistic tiger. Isn’t your movie a comedy? The genre is different from “Glory”. It will be released at the same time. Why are you afraid of them? “
“Yes.” The fat man also said as a helper, “Dimension Entertainment is just a new emerging company. It is a rookie in the film industry and does not contact us. Old Zhen will follow him at the same time and **** them! Don’t be afraid! “
“Hehe.” Old Zhen sneered and said, “Aren’t you afraid, don’t you also have a film? It’s only three weeks late, so it’s early to coincide with “Glory”, suppress them!”
The fat man shrank his head and said, “My…er… is an action movie. Do you know that action movie? It’s just the kind that can’t work against Dimension Entertainment…your comedy, is it still possible…”
“Haha.” Old Zhen sneered again.
The long-haired one shook his head and said, “You two, really lost the ambition of our group!”
Old Zhen turned his head and looked at him: “What you want to say now, anyway, you have not released a movie recently. However, the film that you are currently working on, isn’t it going to hit the Spring Festival festival? In the Spring Festival file, there is also a film called “Taiwu Picture Scroll” to be released. Then I will see how Lei Dao suppressed the Dimension group.”
“…At that time, we will study ~ www.mtlnovel.com~ Director Lei was choked, and then said with a dry smile.
“Hey…” Old Zhen sneered.
Not far away, listening to this group of people chatting, Peng Zhili snorted disdainfully.
“It’s all a bunch of things without eggs!”
I used to think that this regular gathering is still a very high-end place, and the people who come are very energetic. As a result, I didn’t expect that when everyone really wanted to work hard, they would be so embarrassed.
Hmph, if it weren’t for our Huayi movie, the summer file had already been released, and there was no film on October 11, I would just go and do it myself!
But… Even so, it seems that there is no way out.
No, is there a Hollywood blockbuster recently introduced?

I finished writing in the evening, so I put it together and sent it out early in the morning.
