The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

The total budget for the entire movie "Hell Apartment 2" is 30 million yuan.

‘Dimension Entertainment’ has acquired ‘Xinmo Media’, which means that they have their own distribution channels and no longer need to look at other people’s faces.

Of course, this means that the cost of publicity has to be borne by itself.

The company's publicity budget prepared for "Hell Apartment 2" is about 20 million yuan.

In this way, Dimension Entertainment’s investment cost in "Hell Apartment 2" may reach 50 million, which means that they must at least be in the market and obtain more than 120 million at the box office to be able to win at the box office. After splitting the accounts, it is guaranteed not to lose money.

Perhaps, for a general small-cost movie, it seems not easy to rush to the box office of more than 100 million yuan, but "Hell Apartment 2" will obviously be an exception.

Excluding its horror film's easiest attributes to beat the big one, the most important factor is that it is a sequel movie.

In today's movie market, the sequel movie is a very special existence, and investors will feel that this project is stable when it is heard. Relatively speaking, original movies are not so reassuring.

At present, it may be okay in China. Hollywood is really the hardest hit area. Non-adapted works and non-sequel works are generally unlikely to receive a large investment. Even a big director at Nolan's level has received high investment in successive original films, and regardless of the quality of their films, at least at the box office, they still pale in comparison with blockbuster movies based on comics and novels.

This trend has gradually emerged in China, especially commercial films with large investments.

For "Hell Apartment 2", the previous game is considered a success. Although the total box office of 360 million is not a big number, low cost is very important.

What's more, the biggest movie-watching group of "Hell Apartment 1" is not in the cinema, but offline.

For the broad audience, perhaps very few people would choose to go to the cinema and watch a scary horror movie.

However, there are many people who are willing to turn on the computer at night or at some point, log on to the Internet, and then look for a scary horror movie to watch.

This can also be seen in the background data of the ‘Dimension Platform’. Among the many contents in the ‘Dimension Platform’, only from the perspective of movies, "Hell Apartment" turned out to be the most played.

Although there are not many film copyrights introduced by ‘Dimension Platform’, there are not no films that are more powerful than "Hell Apartment" at the box office. However, in terms of broadcast volume, there is no higher movie than "Hell Apartment".

Moreover, I don't know whether it is due to gender or what. According to back-end data, it is obvious that women like to watch horror movies more than men.

In the case of a certain audience base in the previous work, "Hell Apartment 2" did not ask for more, and achieved a box office of more than 200 million, which is not a big problem.

This can almost make a small goal, the most important thing is that the investment risk is small.

The film production budget is 30 million, and the announced budget is 20 million. The total is only 50 million. There is no possibility of losing money.

What's more, the 20 million in the film budget is to be put on post-production.

And the remaining 10 million li was used for the filming, and the big part was the actors' pay.

Li Ze, the actor, performed very well in the first part of "Hell Apartment". For the sequel movie, it is important to maintain the original cast, but other actors also have to eat. If the previous one succeeded, it is no longer possible to get a small salary for this one.

Adding money is inevitable.

Not only Li Ze, but also many of the actors in the first part, have a salary increase demand.

Fortunately, Dimension Entertainment considered this when signing contracts with these actors earlier. These actors all signed three film contracts at one time, and stipulated that for each sequel to be filmed, the actors' pay must not increase by more than 20%.

Ever since, the space for actors' salary increases can still be controlled.

Of course, when all three films of "Hell's Apartment" are about to be filmed, if the results have been maintained and the fourth film is to be filmed again, I am afraid that all the actors' pay will have a huge increase.

It will depend on the situation at that time. If the desire to shoot at a low cost is still maintained, it is definitely impossible to afford that much cost. The best option is to directly replace a group of actors, such as in the third film. At that time, the plot will kill a batch of things, or it will not be filmed at all, that's a big deal.

"Hell Apartment 2" was finally handed over to the young director Ji Jiaxin.

Of course, in any case, this is also a project involving tens of millions of funds, and it is impossible to completely let such an inexperienced director be solely responsible for it.

‘Dimensional Entertainment’ selected six producers from within the company and put them in this project. Among the six people, some are responsible for controlling the shooting progress to avoid the filming work from not being completed as scheduled; some are responsible for financial review; some are responsible for the administrative work of the crew; some are responsible for the construction and recruitment of the crew; some are responsible for the construction and recruitment of the crew. Logistics work; some are responsible for the rental of venues and filming equipment...

One of the chief producers ~www.NovelMTL.com~ is named Wang Zhixin, a person with experience as a producer, originally belonged to a middle and senior management of ‘New Mo Media’.

These producers cover almost all aspects of the filming work of the entire crew, in order to prevent this project from encountering additional risks, and the ultimate goal is to ensure that the film can be completed in time, quantity and quality.

As for the post-production special effects and editing work, it has nothing to do with the crew.

At present, the construction of the crew has begun. Fan Zhe’s task to Ji Jiaxin and chief producer Wang Zhixin is to require them to complete the formation of the crew before mid-November and then start filming. All pre-shooting tasks must be completed before mid-March next year.

In this way, including the time for post-production, it is estimated that it can catch up with about April next year, and the film will be available online, which is almost the Ching Ming Festival.

Dimension Entertainment's publicity plan for "Hell Apartment 2" basically follows this approach.

After tossing these things, Fan Zhe turned his head and started to pay attention to the project "Ruzi Di".

The filming work of the crew of "Ruzi Di" was a bit later than that of "Budo Master", and the entire filming process had to be longer.

For this film and television drama, Dimension Entertainment has invested almost 200 million yuan, and it is 200 million yuan, because there are few special effects in this film, and the main attraction of the work is the plot and characters.

This is the first time that Dimension Entertainment has made this attempt.
