Chapter 102: The Movie Is Released

The essence deep in the human soul is an area that cannot be reached by the dimensional system.

Of course, the ‘dimensionality’ may not touch the lower limit of some so-called ‘actors’ in performance.

For example, the performance named Li Yang in "The Legend of the Demonic Shadow", such as An Bao... Well, forget it, I won't be blind anymore, anyway, the audience is not blind, so they all understand it.

The actors are looking for, but it is a question of who they are looking for.

Traffic stars? It's too expensive to afford it, and these traffic stars nowadays can't stand the acting skills of Fan Zhe.

He never believed that the attention brought by those traffic stars could compare to the bad effects of the low quality of the series.

Although the facts are always slapping him in the face.

He has always been puzzled by what kind of people are watching those dramas? What fans are there really so many fans?

After removing the traffic stars, there are actually not many options left.

Why doesn’t Fan Zhe want to find Hu Ge to play Chu Ge, and Liu Yifei to play Chen Yan?

But these two people are now quite famous, and expensive is not the main problem, so the key is that they don’t want to be very helpful.

This matter is a little sad.

But after chatting with Ye Jiayi, Fan Zhe planned not to consider this matter for the first time.

Establish a project, do the preliminary work, and then find directors and actors according to the budget.

According to the preliminary calculations of Ye Jiayi and Fan Zhe, the investment scale of the "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" project that Weidu Entertainment is about to start will reach 200 million yuan.

Of course, it is impossible to really spend 200 million, and Weidu Entertainment doesn’t have that much money.

The total investment of 200 million will be 70% to 80% and will be paid to "dimensional technology" as a special effect budget, which is almost 150 to 60 million.

Here we will hedge the accounts through financial means, after all, the 'dimensional technology' is also own.

The remaining tens of millions are what seriously need to be paid for by entertainment, as filming costs and actors’ pay.

Among them, the actor's pay will be the big one.

This price is quite embarrassing. You can’t afford to invite big brands, but you can’t afford to buy them. It’s just a medium level, and I feel a little unhappy.

This incident makes people very twitch.

"We have never done anything in this way." Ye Jiayi said, "This is a completely unfamiliar area to us. Do you really want to step into it?"

"Really." Fan Zhe said.

Not only in TV series, but also in movies.

Whether it is an animated movie or a live-action movie, rushing into the big screen with the most brilliant visual effects is his destined idea and goal from the beginning.

Holding the 'dimensional' system in hand, hanging around on the small screen has no meaning at all.

"Then I have two directions of filing." After thinking for a while, Ye Jiayi put forward his own opinion: "One, we can bring up the project team ourselves, but this requires a producer or director who is knowledgeable enough. Otherwise, if we do this ourselves, there will be a lot of unexpected troubles."

"The second thing is to find a production company with a mature production process to cooperate with. We invest, we will produce the special effects in the later stages, and leave the shooting matters to them."

"I'll choose the first one." Fan Zhe said.

“That would be harder.”

"But it will be of great help to our future development. We always have to follow this path. If we have to pay the tuition fee, it is better to pay it early than to pay it late."

Ye Jiayi looked at him deeply and said, "Okay, I will follow up on the release matters when the crew is established. I will start preparing for the crew."

"Thank you for your hard work," said Fan Zhe. "Actually, I have an idea for the director."

"who?"

"Du Zhengde, I have had a collaboration with him once," said Fan Zhe. "He may not be the best director, but he has rich experience and ability. It is enough to guide at least one TV series."

Ye Jiayi also knew this person, and she asked, "But hasn't Du Zhengde entered the movie circle? He is still willing to come back to film a TV series?"

Fan Zhe smiled and said, "He doesn't want to, but sometimes, many things are not as simple as saying whether he wants to or not."

What he thought was the release results of the movie "The Legend of the Demonic Shadow".

This work can be regarded as the first commercial film with a good investment scale taken over by Du Zhengde. If his grades are booming, he will take off; if his grades are average, he is also a qualification, and he will be able to make ends meet; if his grades are booming... he will also fail with him, at least his path to entering the commercial film circle will inevitably be severely frustrated.

Fan Zhe is waiting for this opportunity.

He didn't know what the results of "The Legend of the Magic" will eventually be, but he was considered to be involved in the production of this movie. It was a guarantee that "Dimensional Entertainment" was responsible for the production of special effects; but the chaos and power struggle within the crew made Fan Zhe very unwilling to be optimistic about the final results of this movie.

Anyway, it has been released these days.

...

One day in August, "The Legend of the Magic Shadow" was officially launched.

This film has been promoted a lot.

Especially the young and handsome guy named Li Yang.

This effect of bringing traffic has its own value. Posting stills on Weibo and interacting with fans will make a lot of popularity and become a hot search; it will be popular on a popular variety show and it will be promoted, and the popularity will suddenly rise.

But this cannot resist the tide of bad comments.

On the first day, "The Legend of the Magic Shadow" scored 6.5 on Douban, which seemed to be qualified, but in fact it was very watery. Most of the five-star reviews were empty and nothing. However, many one-star bad reviews were reasonable and well-founded.

On the second day of the release, the navy could not withstand the anger of the audience. The ratings fell all the way, first fell by five o'clock, and then slid all the way to 4.9.

"I want to vomit when I see Li Yang's face that smiles like a mentally retarded."

"I don't understand, so many crews like to invite young and handsome guys? Their acting skills are so trash that they can't bear to look at them."

"The plot is really trash."

“Garbage 10086”

"I think it's pretty good. It's cool to fight the Demon King in the end."

"This movie is useless except for special effects."

"The action design is so bad, so such a good special effect is wasted."

"If you have money to do such good special effects, can't you hire a decent action design team?"

...

It seems that the reason why the score fell to 4.9 was stopped purely because the special effects were not bad.

These reviews actually generally represent the impression of this film in front of the public.

The plot is poor; the editing logic is chaotic; the acting skills of the actors, especially the starring actors, have been criticized; the action design is poor...

Among such a low evaluation, if there is anything that can be considered a good review, then there is only special effects.

"I just realized that the special effects were actually made by Weidu Entertainment, no wonder."

There are quite a few such evaluations.

Of course, there are not many works in history that have bad reputations but have big box office hits.
