fantasy blockbuster era

Chapter 241 Who else but us?
"Shading the Sky" is a fantasy masterpiece. After filming the Beidou Star Region part, it is impossible for Zhang Yang not to want to film the rest.

But there is no way.

At that time, there was not enough funds.

But it's fine now, all the departments within Xuanyu have matured, as long as he doesn't pursue the time requirement too much, except for the cost of filming, most of the cost of a fantasy movie can be saved within the company.

In the conference room, the high-level executives of various departments also felt that funding was not a big problem after hearing his calculations.

and.

Now that the movie theater chain is starting to build, the box office share will definitely make a lot of money. As long as the box office trend of "Shading the Sky 1" is still maintained, this time it will definitely not lose money.

Zhang Yang said in a deep voice: "Why didn't "Shadow 1" make money at that time?"

"It's because most of the revenue has been divided by various parties. Now we are about to build our own theater chain, and we can recover a lot of money from the box office."

"In addition, at that time, Huayi's distribution coverage was not wide enough. It was okay in China, but it was too bad in foreign countries."

"So this time, I'm going to find a few more companies to co-release, and the coverage of foreign theaters must reach at least 1. In this way, as long as the quality of the film is not bad, with the good reputation of "Shading the Sky [-]" overseas, The box office will definitely be indispensable.”

When the first film was released, Lin Xiaohan once showed him the comments on the Internet.

Although the number of viewers is small, the ratings are not low, and the response from the audience is also very good.

Why Zhang Yang didn't make other movies, but continued to shoot "Shading the Sky", this is also one of the factors.

With the foundation of the previous work, as long as the sequel does not pull the hips, the box office should not be much lower.

Moreover, many beautiful country films invested more than him.

Why can others make a lot of money?

It is because of the global distribution, the coverage is wide enough, almost most countries in the world can see it.

Dragon Kingdom itself is a big box office in the world, as long as it wins the other big box office countries, the box office share of "Shading the Sky 2" can be increased again.

Coupled with the help of various props in the system, and Zhang Yang's attitude of striving for excellence in the movie, the box office of this movie is definitely not bad!

Hearing his calculation, Chang Fang felt relieved.

"According to what you said, most of the film's post-production can be completed in the company. If you calculate it this way, you can save a lot of money. I just don't know when you plan to release it?"

Logically speaking, the movie schedule is not finalized until filming is completed. If Chang Fang asked now, Zhang Yang couldn't tell for sure.

But Zhang Yang understood what she meant, and Chang Fang just wanted to see if he was in a hurry.

If you rush, you will make more money, if you take your time, you will save money.

Because Xuanyu is just a company after all.

And the production time of "Shading the Sky 2" can't be shortened by one company alone. If Zhang Yang is willing to delay the time, Xuanyu can do more and save a lot of money.

But Zhang Yang really didn't think about the schedule.

He also made a movie. At that time, he was still catching up with the Guapi Conference. The time was tight, and it was scheduled for the 5.1 Golden Week.

Although the population and economy of the Dragon Kingdom in this world are more developed than in the previous life, and the movie market is also hotter than in the previous life, but in real terms, the schedules of the two worlds are similar.

The best is just a few schedules.

Lunar New Year file, May [-]st file, summer file, [-]th file.
The Lunar New Year file refers to the movie schedule from November to early March of the next year, about eighty or ninety days, spanning Christmas, New Year's Day, Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, and Valentine's Day.

It is regarded by the Longguo film circle as the most perfect film schedule with the most intense competition, the highest box office output and the strongest consumption power.

Many blockbuster movies will choose to be released in this schedule, and it is also the best schedule for many small and medium-budget movies to become dark horses.

The May Day schedule refers to the movie schedule during the May Day period every year.

This schedule is generally a schedule when many imported blockbusters gather together. That is, last year, Guapi would release several blockbusters together, and the imported blockbusters did not have any sparks.

The summer file generally refers to the period from June to September every year, and the main audience is student audiences aged 4-24.

This schedule lasts for a long time, and the box office potential is getting higher and higher. Many movies that do not want to be delayed too late will choose to be released in the summer.

In recent years, many blockbuster movies have also chosen to be broadcast at this time, such as "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World", which are more famous and have a good box office are all released in summer.

The eleventh file refers to the National Day period.

After all, it is a 7-day long holiday, and many people will choose to watch a movie at this time.

Among these four periods, the Lunar New Year period has the greatest box office potential.

However, the film breaks everything!
Just like last year, even if "Shading the Sky 1 Journey to the Big Dipper" was released on May [-]st, no movie could surpass it in the whole year!
As for this year's "Shading the Sky 2".
It's already March, and in order to save money, Zhang Yang definitely can't be as lavish as before, so the production time will definitely not be short.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yang had the answer in his heart.

"It depends on the time, but according to my estimation, the special effects department alone is definitely not enough, and we have to find a few more companies to help. In this case, the shooting cycle may be 8-10 months, and it will be almost the end of the year. Not bad."

Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "But I'm not sure. After all, the real shooting hasn't started yet. In case something happens in the middle, I'm not sure about the time."

According to his estimate.

The filming of "Shading the Sky 2" requires special effects for almost every shot.

Although the special effects department of Xuanyu has expanded its recruitment on a large scale, there are currently only more than 400 people. If it wants to catch up with the Lunar New Year, the special effects department must have at least 1000 people, otherwise it may be too late.

So he had to find several special effects companies, subcontract out the shots, and edit them after everything was done.

However, don't forget that he also has a 'future brand film and television special effects production machine'.

Although it was useless before, it will definitely be used for filming this time!

Zhang Yang's requirements are not too high, just barely surpassing the level of the world's ten-year-old level, too aggressive is prone to accidents!
Now his salary balance in the system is only 35000, but according to his estimate, after the filming is over, there will be millions, and the special effects machine can cover at least 15 minutes of special effects production.

If all these are counted, it would be too late to finish filming in 8-10 months!
Hu Kaitian, as a veteran director who often shoots movies, is very experienced in this area. He also said: "If the shooting goes well, there should be no problem before the Lunar New Year file!"

After listening to what the two said, Chang Fang knew it in her heart.

"In this case, the time is not too tight, and there are only two biggest expenses, special effects and actors' fees!"

"Based on this, the filming of "Shading the Sky 2" should save a lot of money compared to the filming of "Shading the Sky 1", and the remaining money in the company's account is completely enough!"

Zhang Yang reminded again: "You also need to increase your budget for actors' remuneration. It turns out that those actors are now worth a lot more!"

The Longguo film and television industry is the same as in the previous life, the salary increase is too outrageous!

After several leading actors of "Shading the Sky 1" finished shooting the movie version and the TV series version, the popularity soared, and now the film salary has generally increased by more than half!
The only good news is that there are not many supporting roles!

But it's also a big expense!

Fortunately, in the plot of "Shading the Sky 2", many of the supporting characters in the first part have left the scene, so it is only necessary to consider the issue of the protagonist's salary.

In addition, many new characters will be added in the second part, and the remuneration for this aspect cannot be calculated yet.

"understand!"

Chang Fang replied: "Including them, the funds for the production of the second film will not be much more! If there is a lion who wants to open his mouth, I believe you will not agree!"

"nonsense."

Zhang Yang sneered and said, "The company is not for charity. It is a rare opportunity for them to participate in a film with such a large investment. How dare they ask for remuneration?"

"You know, this movie is not only important to us, but even more important to them!"

"In China, besides us, who else is making such a big investment movie?"
