The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

Chapter 297: 1 line director

In Fan Zhe's plan, Du Zhengde was basically the first candidate for the director of "Budo Master: Fire of War".

The reputation is almost enough, the qualifications are old, and they have cooperated with each other, knowing each other's roots...

After the whole calculation, Du Zhengde is indeed very good.

Of course, people are now proud of it, and it is not the same as when they encountered career downturns before, and the pay is definitely completely different.

However, it doesn't matter, as long as you don't go too far, Dimension Entertainment doesn't mind letting others make money.

Fan Zhe and Ye Jiayi drove to the company together after breakfast.

In the car, Fan Zhe said: "Director Du, after initial contact, the feedback was good. With the money basically enough, they are basically determined to take over the movie project "Budo Master: Fire of War". Of course. , Specific treatment issues, contract negotiations, etc., must be discussed in detail later by you. It is only at the stage of confirming your intentions."

"That's fine, when can the people on my side start the negotiation?"

"It shouldn't be too long. I made an appointment with Du Zhengde this afternoon to talk about the content of the movie. If it goes smoothly, formal negotiations can begin in these two days."

Fan Zhe paused, then continued: "If Du Zhengde is determined to take over the work, then the crew can begin to be formed in these two days. Even now, our script has been completed."

"Okay, as long as the movie can be completed after the lower part of the "Budo Master" is broadcast next year, and then it can be ready to go online, that's fine."

"The problem shouldn't be big."

...

Fan Zhe worked in the company for a while in the morning, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, he met Du Zhengde in a teahouse.

"I thought you would find me to drink." Fan Zhe said, he still remembered that Du Zhengde was a drunkard.

"Haha, but you don't like to drink so much. After all, you still have to consider the attitude of your boss."

Although the two people are quite different in age, the personal relationship is not bad, and there is no particularly big obstacle to chatting.

First, I talked about other things, and then talked about business affairs.

In the previous telephone communication, Du Zhengde has basically agreed to accept the directorship of "Budo Master: Fire of War".

This is quite normal.

For Du Zhengde, first of all, when he was able to get up so quickly in the downturn of his career, Dimension Entertainment stretched out his hand and asked him to shoot "Fantasy Three Kingdoms". This must be of vital importance. Effective.

This kind of favor, in the circle, must be paid back if you owe it.

What's more, the cooperation was very pleasant at first, and after that time, he had a good relationship with Fan Zhe.

This is a perceptual factor, but the most important thing is the project itself.

Even if he owes Tianda's favor, he encounters that kind of junk film, or a film that is not suitable for him, Du Zhengde is definitely not going to shoot-he does not want to climb into the ranks of first-line directors. At that time, I met Waterloo again.

In fact, with the success of "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" and "Dragon and Tiger Biography" at the beginning, he became very cautious about making movies later, so that in two or three years, he made a film called "The Return of the Dragon". The movie is a crime action movie with a modern background. The results are not particularly outstanding, but at least it is normal. It has not allowed him to go further, but it will not reduce his status.

If he can maintain this state and continue to make some movies, as long as the level is decent and stable and has a good box office, then with more and more successful experiences, his position in the director circle will also increase with his seniority. The promotion and promotion, and finally entered the ranks of the real first-line director.

However, Du Zhengde, who has always been very ambitious from the bottom up, doesn't like this slow rhythm.

If there is no other choice, then this step by step may be the kingly way. But if there is an election, why doesn't he want to directly direct a movie that hits the box office?

Right now, "Budo Master: Fire of War" is a very high-quality choice.

First of all, the type of film is an action film, which is what Du Zhengde is good at. Second, the investment quota of "Budo Master: Fire of War", according to Fan Zhe's previous statement, is guaranteed to be more than 700 million yuan, which is almost equivalent to one. More than 100 million dollars, this can be regarded as a big production if it is thrown in Hollywood; third, this is a project of Dimension Entertainment. Du Zhengde must be well aware of their family's visual technology capabilities.

Moreover, this movie was born out of the IP "Budo Master". The original works themselves are relatively popular novels, and the reader base is not small. After being developed into a TV series, it is even more popular this year. The audience base is very huge.

The combination of these factors declares that this movie has a very small chance of failure, and it can almost be regarded as a certain success.

The difference is just how successful it is.

For such a project, to be honest, Du Zhengde would be a fool if he didn't accept it.

Even if the pay is less, it must be followed. As long as the work is a big success, and the intensity of success is greater, he might be able to use the power of this movie to take it to the next level, at least to gain a foothold in the ranks of first-line directors.

Today, when he met with Fan Zhe, the entanglement was not whether to accept the project, but to chat with the investor, boss, chief producer and chief artist~www.NovelMTL.com~ The work itself.

After drinking a circle of tea, Du Zhengde said: "I have read the script, but I still think we have to talk about the specific content carefully."

"Yeah." Fan Zhe put down the tea cup. He couldn't drink this thing. Although the tea was very comfortable to drink, he really couldn't drink the quality of the tea.

"Have you watched the play of "Budo Master"?"

"I saw, how could I not watch your work? Even if you don't use it for learning, it's good to watch it purely as a hobby, and enjoy it.

"Overrated." Fan Zhe humbled a bit and continued: "The story of the movie is about a part of the original, but deleted from the TV script, because this part is not particularly relevant to the main storyline, and According to the original description, the shooting cost is relatively high, so we gave up when we were shooting the drama. However, it is good to take it out and make a movie alone."

"The world of "Budo Master" itself is an overhead modern background, but there is a prosperous martial arts. History, politics and economy have been vaguely dealt with, and it is about the fighting of martial artists.

"Under this world structure, in addition to a stable and harmonious society based on the domestic environment, there are also war-torn environments abroad."

"The content of the movie is set in Southeast Asia. There are warlords, the unified government is not strong enough, there is warlord power, and there is war erupting in the market. And this kind of environment is also liked by many warriors. They rely on their own power to help them. To gain benefits, even some people, just to hone themselves, will come to such places to explore."

"The story of the movie starts here."
