"Director Zhang, Director Xu, long time no see!"

Duoyu Media reception room.

As soon as Wang Duoyu opened the door, he saw Lao Mouzi and Old Monster Xu.

Whether it was Lao Mouzi or Old Monster Xu, this was not the first time Wang Duoyu had seen them.

Needless to say, Lao Mouzi just worked with him on "My Love from the Star".

As for Mr. Xu, I have seen him at the previous Academy Awards.

At that time, Old Monster Xu even said hello to Wang Duoyu.

"Mr. Wang, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Mr. Wang."

The two of them also greeted Wang Duoyu.

No matter what they are thinking in their hearts at this time, they still have to work hard.

"Let's sit down and talk."

Wang Duoyu motioned for the two of them to sit down, and then sat opposite them.

"I won't tell you anything. I think the two directors have roughly understood why I came to you this time, and what they think about "The Legend of Emperor Xin"."

Hearing this, Lao Mouzi's face became obviously gloomy, but it was still much better than the last time he filmed "My Love from the Star."

In any case, this time it is a big production, and it is linked to a movie and TV series, so it is not a shame.

Of course, the most important thing is that the TV series has already been filmed, so you don’t care what happens next.

As for Old Monster Xu, it doesn't matter even more. He started his career filming TV series.

And in Xiangjiang, how many directors are there who only make movies and not TV series?

Basically I shoot in a mixed manner.

In the 1990s, when no one had much work to do, people were rushing to film even the third-level movies, let alone TV series.

In Xiangjiang, although the status of directors is high, it is only slightly better than that of actors. They all regard it as just a job, without any special status.

This is much better than the mainland directors and actors who don't know.

"Jiang Wen told me about this two days ago, and I roughly understand Mr. Wang's thoughts. However, my personal opinion is that we should start with the actors first. After all, Mr. Wang is planning to shoot a large-scale IP this time.

For the first time, try to make appropriate preparations in terms of actor contracts, as well as actors’ personal issues, which Mr. Wang should know better than me."

The old man said first.

He actually doesn't have much opinion on "The Legend of Emperor Xin", but he still has a big opinion on Wang Duoyu.

In particular, he understands Wang Duoyu's casting requirements very well.

Forget about ordinary film and television works. If it is really a big investment and big production, you really need to be a little more cautious in this regard.

After all, it is a big-screen movie, and although special effects come first, acting is equally important.

At this point, what Lao Mouzi said still holds great weight.

In a few years, Wang Duoyu would have to nag him about Emperor Haotian.

You can use Emperor Haotian, but you still care about me?

Jingtian, aren't you well trained? Is there anything you can't solve?

However, after thinking about it in his heart, Wang Duoyu still agreed with Lao Mouzi's views on the surface.

"What Director Zhang said makes sense. We can discuss this later later. What about Director Xu? Do you have any opinions on "The Biography of Emperor Xin"?"

Old Monster Xu touched his chin.

"Actually, I personally still think that in terms of special effects, it depends on what kind of special effects Mr. Wang should use. The times are developing too fast now. If we change with the times, it may deviate from the original intention of some gods and become an alternative technology.

Cultivation of immortals will have a nondescript feeling. But if you follow the traditional immortal special effects, you will either have to follow the trend of the past, or you will have to spend more time and experience designing scenes and actions."

Wang Duoyu nodded in agreement.

Mr. Xu is indeed an expert in this field, and he immediately saw the key points of the special effects issue.

In fact, Wang Duoyu has thought about this problem before.

There are several obvious examples in the past life.

"Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" and the follow-up "Jiang Ziya" and "Yang Jian" are full of the flavor of technological immortality.

To put it nicely, it is called advancing with the times and not sticking to one pattern.

To put it bluntly, it's nondescript. You don't even know what era your movie is set in. Why don't you just make an atomic bomb? Isn't this much more powerful than your so-called magic?

The smell of technology everywhere is really entertaining.

"Actually, my personal view on the current situation is the same, so I think in the design of the scene..."

The three of them discussed the whole morning in the reception room.

Different from the last discussion with Jiang Wen, this time Wang Duoyu already had a complete script, so the main discussion point among the three of them still revolved around the script.

The deeper the discussion went, the more places Wang Duoyu circled in the script.

Then he discovered something very serious.

If every scene was really done like this, then the movie alone would have to spend hundreds of millions on special effects.

This is only a movie less than two hours long!

If the same thing is done in TV dramas, then in the end the special effects alone will save Kao by two billion.

After all, a TV series lasts more than two hours.

Coupled with other expenses, these two billion are simply not enough!

Thinking of this, Wang Duoyu felt a headache.

He really doesn't care about spending money, but he cares about whether the money spent has no effect!

Moreover, if the TV series really requires such a large investment, what price should it be sold at?

That’s a sky-high price. Even for Wang Duoyu, it’s a sky-high price!

Will anyone really be willing to buy it?

Those video websites are not fools. They don’t care how much you spend, they only care about your final selling price.

Just like "The Heirs", excluding the money Mr. Jin lent to Youku, Youku itself also contributed more than 40 million, which is based on the price of more than 2 million per episode.

This price is basically the current market price of TV series.

Of course, if the market response is particularly good, we can add more, but if we add more, it is impossible for a TV series to be sold for more than one billion, right?

That’s outrageous!

Unless those in power have lost their minds, it is absolutely impossible to offer this price!

Old Monster Xu and Lao Mouzi also saw the problem.

Seeing Wang Duoyu frowning, the two of them didn't know what to say.

When it comes to making movies, both of them are experts, but when it comes to doing business, they are obviously not as good as Wang Duoyu.

They didn't know what Wang Duoyu was thinking now, so naturally they didn't know where to start.

"Unknowingly, it's dinner time. It's not convenient to entertain the two directors today. I'm sorry."

Wang Duoyu pretended to glance at his watch, and then issued the eviction order.

Lao Mouzi and Old Monster Xu were both human beings, and they immediately said that Wang Duoyu was being polite and that they could deal with it casually. They also said that they would be ready at any time after Wang Duoyu figured out the project development model.

The people at Jingtian had communicated with them before they came, and they knew that they couldn't escape this time.

Coupled with the communication this morning, they also discovered how grand Wang Duoyu's investment in this area is. As long as Wang Duoyu solves the problem of profitability, the project will start filming regardless of whether it can make a profit in the end.

For directors of their level, it is difficult to attract them with ordinary scripts.

Except for two kinds, the story was so good that they couldn't refuse it.

Or the investment is too high, allowing them to do things they didn't dare to do before.

Obviously, Wangduoyu belongs to the second type and meets some of the conditions of the first type.

Wang Duoyu really polished this script with great care.

Coupled with Wang Duoyu's lack of money, they were still happy to start filming as long as Wang Duoyu nodded.

Anyway, the director Jiang Wen who worked with them this time is also a great director, so it’s not a shame in terms of status.

After they left, Wang Duoyu returned to the office and began to think about how to make money from this IP.

Before, he only thought that he could have some fun with the movie model, and spin off a TV series to solve future script problems.

But the problem now is that those who play with flowers have to spend money, and they spend money together, spending a lot of money.

If he can't make a profit, it means he is losing money to play with his mood.
