The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

In the previous work, the art team of "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" has completed the original painting design of all the characters. As for the crew, the costumes were also designed and produced in strict accordance with the content of the original painting.

The preparatory work has been largely completed, and is currently in the process of filming.

It's just that it's not easy to be perfect in many places when shooting. For example, in terms of costumes and props, due to the relatively tight budget, it is difficult to make it look like some large-scale dramas, making it particularly real and textured.

However, Fan Zhe decided to solve these things through the technical capabilities of the 'dimension' system in the post-production special effects.

During the filming process of the crew, the company's art team did not rest.

Currently, they are concentrating on the original paintings of various scenes, which is an extremely important part of the special effects production process of "Fantasy Three Kingdoms".

In the shooting of "Fantasy Three Kingdoms", many initial shots will be completed under the green screen. Of course, there will still be some simple interior scenes, as well as some exterior shots, that will be actually shot. But one is that the proportion of the number is not particularly large, and the other is that even if it is shot in real scene, many places need a lot of special effects.

For example, Chang'an City.

In "Fantasy Three Kingdoms", part of the story happened in Chang'an. For this part of the shooting plan, Fan Zhe also communicated with Director Du Zhengde before. The crew will go to the Tangcheng film and television base in Xiangyang to shoot this plot and story in real scene.

Tangcheng film and television base, this is the film and television base that Director Chen Kaige built in Xiangyang, Hubei Province for six years and three billion for the filming of "The Legend of the Cat Demon".

Of course, although this film and television base was established because of "Legend of the Cat Demon", after it was established, it has also become a tourist attraction with considerable economic value. At the same time, many film crews have moved into it to shoot.

Ye Jiayi has already negotiated the relevant contact work, and the time has been fixed. When the time comes, the crew will just move in and start filming.

This Tangcheng film and television base has actually produced a very good effect. However, in Fan Zhe's plan, many contents of live shooting are still not enough.

To show the beauty of Chang'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, a lot of special effects technology is still needed.

The original conceptual painting of Chang'an was drawn by Fan Zhe himself.

The strong wind blows, the sky is blue and the clouds are white, and a magnificent city street scene is created from his pen. The main red building on the street looks very elegant; in the lively street, various flags are fluttering, a team of carriages pass by the street, and knights in fresh clothes and angry horses guard the exquisitely shaped carriage with dragon patterns on it sign.

In this picture, in addition to his excellent modeling ability, Fan Zhe especially strengthened the drawing of light and shadow. The whole image is very bright, and the sunlight seems to have a texture, showing that prosperous and prosperous era.

The art team will draw a large number of illustrations in which the story takes place in Chang'an according to the conceptual design drawings given by Fan Zhe and the script.

These images, together with the original shots taken, will be imported into the 'dimension' system, and through the calculation of the system, the production of special effects will be completed.

Fan Zhe is very confident that when this drama comes out, it will definitely refresh the understanding of ancient Chang'an in this circle.

Except for Chang'an City, many other shots and scenes will be processed in the same way.

To put it bluntly, for the TV series "Fantasy Three Kingdoms", the cost of light special effects, if it is really done by an ordinary special effects company, 150 million will definitely not be able to do it.

According to Fan Zhe's current estimates based on his own team, the entire post-production special effects project may take more than a year.

Du Zhengde's plan is to complete the filming before the Chinese New Year. As for the post-production special effects of Dimension Entertainment, it will be completed in September or October next year.

This will be the largest and longest-consuming project of Dimension Entertainment since its establishment.

Fan Zhe was still a little worried about this, so he specifically went to find Ye Jiayi and asked about the company's financial situation, whether it could support it or not.

The news received is relatively optimistic.

"We have earned almost 100 million yuan in the past year."

Hearing this number at first, Fan Zhe was stunned.

But after thinking about it carefully, it's not too much.

The total production cost of the two seasons of "Full-time" is more than 20 million; the copyright sale of the three seasons of "Special Events Team" adds up to nearly 40 million, and the peripheral authorization has also made a lot of money; "Ensemble" currently brings in direct revenues of nearly 40 million, and with more and more mature business development in the future, it is not a big problem to finally reap the expected 60 million revenue.

"...So, the funds we invested in "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" will not put too much pressure on the company's operations, at least it will not have a big impact on the company's own operations."

"Moreover, the investment in "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" does not require us to pay in full. With the future income of the project as collateral, I have also obtained a commercial loan of 20 million."

"All in all, don't worry, the company's financial situation is very good, and the company's personnel expansion is still in progress, and the subsequent recruited personnel will also be filled in the project team of Fantasy Three Kingdoms. But in the short term, it is best to be on the safe side It’s better not to start any new projects.”

"I understand." Fan Zhe nodded, and mentioned another matter: "Dimension Technology needs to allocate a sum of money recently, three to five million is enough."

"Okay." Ye Jiayi has never asked about Dimension technology. After calculating the company's current funding situation, she nodded in agreement.

'Dimension Technology' is just a shell company, of course it doesn't need much money, but the 'Dimension' system does.

The company's current development pressure is increasing, and the current two workstations are obviously not enough.

This money is going to be used to buy a new machine.

Before that, Fan Zhe had taken a fancy to a set of servers and bought about two million yuan.

This machine, Fan Zhe does not plan to put it in the company.

He rented another place to put this machine specially.

Not far from the company, in a basement. The machine will run autonomously under the control of the 'dimension' system, and it will be started and shut down at regular intervals as required. When necessary, Fan Zhe can also directly control it through the connection of the 'dimension' system in the office.

The basement was locked and connected to the surveillance, and Fan Zhe could see it directly from the monitor in his office.

Security can still be guaranteed.
