The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

This is a theme of overhead history, fictionalizing an era similar to the ancient northern border of China. The Daliang Dynasty swept Kyushu and established a unified dynasty. Wu Guo was the last one to be destroyed. The princess of Wu Guo was taken away by Lou Wen, the general of the Liang Dynasty. The subjugated princess became a concubine and gave birth to a child named Lou Chu.

A fortune teller once made a prophecy: If this son shuts up, he will be a good man who governs the world, and if he opens his mouth, he will become a hero in troubled times.

The story begins here.

As a child of the old country, Lou Chu was imprisoned. Even if he was the son of a general, he could not be an official in the Liang Dynasty because of his mother, and he had no way to ascend. Later, he did a lot of things. Assassinated the emperor, conspired with the rebels, wandered among many forces to serve as counselors, and even claimed the title of king...

This is a very good story, and it should be adapted into a film and television drama so that more people can see it.

The lead actor was looking for Li Ze. He is currently the most outstanding actor among the many actors and entertainers under the "Dimension Brokerage". He has a good appearance and acting skills. The protagonist Lou Chu is very complicated. Except for him, among the actors under Dimension Brokerage, there are really few people who can handle it well.

As for the director, Xie Peihe was invited.

Looking at it this way, this is almost the main creative lineup of "Ruzidi".

In fact, although the themes are quite different, the styles of the two works are indeed relatively close.

Of course, the stories must be completely different, and the core and concept of telling are also different.

However, since the styles are similar, it is normal to use a creative team that has proven itself before.

Needless to say, Li Ze, director Xie Peihe readily agreed after receiving Dimension's invitation. Even, "Dimension Brokers" has started to contact this old comrade, trying to recruit him directly to his own company.

...

At present, Fan Zhe has the title of general producer of the two new projects of Dimension Entertainment.

As for the actual production work, it is difficult for him to take care of everything at once.

But Dimension Entertainment has quite mature experience in this regard. A number of experienced producers will be assigned to take full control of the filming process.

Of course, Fan Zhe will also participate in many practical work. Especially in the project "Fearless Assault", he did the initial design.

However, although these two projects are currently in the preparatory stage, and there are many places that Fan Zhe needs to focus on, but recently, he still tried his best to spare time and focus on another matter.

The movie "Demacia: Glory" has been completed and is in the post-production stage.

Fan Zhe must keep an eye on this project, it is too important.

Let’s not say what is meaningful or not. First of all, the scale of investment alone cannot be careless.

The total investment budget of "Demacia: Glory" has reached 800 million yuan, which is nearly 120 million yuan when converted into US dollars.

This is a huge investment, and no one would joke about such a large amount of money. Even if half of it was paid by Penguin Pictures; even if Dimension Entertainment did not pay a dime, more than half of the 800 million investment funds went into the accounts of 'Dimension Technology'...but so what? The huge computing power invoked by the 'Dimension' system, the hard work of a large number of artists, and the collaboration of multiple subsidiaries and departments of the entire group are not for the purpose of making a street movie.

Fan Zhe is absolutely unwilling to see failure after spending so much manpower and material resources on this film.

What's more, this is the first work of Dimension Entertainment to start its own large-scale production model.

The investment scale of "Martial Arts Master: Flame of War" is not small, but to be honest, this is after all a film project that has continued from the TV series "Martial Arts Master". The experience and lessons of the TV drama project have been carried over to the film project with great inertia, making the film production process appear to be very smooth.

But "Demacia: Glory" is different. Although the LOL it is rooted in is also a national-level IP, it is a game after all, and it is still a MOBA-type game with a very simple story, so it is relatively difficult to adapt.

To make LOL into a movie, it is as difficult as changing it from a TV series to a movie.

If "Glory" fails, it will be a relatively heavy blow to Dimension Entertainment, which has just entered the blockbuster movie business.

Under such circumstances, Fan Zhe cannot overemphasize this project.

In fact, he participated in a lot of work during the pre-production of the film, and when the filming officially started later, he also kept in touch with the two resident producers of the film.

After the filming ended, Fan Zhe also joined the review team of the head office immediately to review the completion of the filming and evaluate the quality.

After watching the rough cut version, Fan Zhe is quite satisfied with the overall quality.

Although the special effects calculated by the "dimension" system have not yet been synthesized with the lens, so it looks very rough, with a lot of green screen in it. However, the whole story seems to be quite complete.

At the same time, the fighting actions and scenes are quite good.

If you really want to say something about the fly in the ointment, it is that the whole film is shot smoothly, as if it lacks a little aura and a little special style.

But that's not a problem at all.

This kind of commercial film produced by the large-scale film industry does not need any so-called "special style". This thing relies on the flash of inspiration of the director and producer, which is really rare.

This thing came well, it was the finishing touch, and it could create a masterpiece. But under normal circumstances, this kind of thing is tantamount to poison and disaster for commercial films.

Demacia: Glory doesn't need that.

Fan Zhe is satisfied with the present situation. If he can give this unfinished rough cut a passing grade, that's enough.

But the next thing is still not easy.

This rough cut version has a length of four hours, the content is cumbersome, and the pace is not fast enough. It definitely needs to be further streamlined.

For the WEB and DVD versions that will be released in the future, the content can be extended appropriately, up to three hours, but it is absolutely impossible for the theater version.

Of course, it won't be cut into 90 minutes like "Fire of War". After all, "Fire of War" is relatively simple in terms of storyline, which is not the case with "Glory".

But no matter what, the length of the film must be kept within 150 minutes, that is, within two and a half hours. Best, it can be done in 120 minutes.

Editors, directors and production crews, there is still a lot of work to do.

At the same time, the key factor that determines the quality of the entire movie is still the special effects.
