Chapter 72 Hell Apartment
The work "Hell Apartment" can be regarded as a more representative book in online novels, horror and thriller.
It is generally a bit like an infinite current, but it does not travel through time and space.
This book generally tells the story of the protagonist Li Yin living in a terrifying apartment.
There are two rules for this apartment.
The first is that you must never leave the apartment for more than 48 hours unless you perform a 'blood-word task'.
The second is that the blood-word task must be performed.
If you violate these two rules, you will die.
The so-called blood-word task is only in this apartment. Once blood-word appears on the wall of the room, you must go to the designated location according to the blood-word instructions, fill the specified time, or do the specified things according to the blood-word instructions. Once you reach the point of view, you will face endless supernatural horror phenomena, and countless ghosts and ghosts in the depths of nightmares will be everywhere, demanding your life.
Although the apartment is called hell, the safest place is in the apartment. Leaving the apartment, you may be harmed by ghosts outside the world.
Entering this apartment is like embarking on a road of no return.
Fan Zhe still remembers that he often read this novel late at night. He was not very good at reading ghost stories and was relatively weak in resistance to this aspect, so when he read this book, he was often scared to the point of being possessed.
Let him make an adaptation of a horror movie... Well, it shouldn't be that scary if you do the creation... right?
But no matter what, this is also a work he likes more, and the key is that the IP adaptation he talked about is not expensive. The full copyright is received, and the offer from Lewen is only three million, and there is room for further negotiation.
According to Fan Zhe's estimate, the price in the end should be reduced to about two million, and it might be cheaper.
This is very reliable.
The copyright of the work "Hell Apartment" is almost certain, but Fan Zhe is thinking about what form this work should be produced.
Animation? Not bad, but not good enough.
I always feel that horror movies should be a better choice to make a live-action drama.
But shooting a live-action drama is a bit beyond Fan Zhe's experience.
In his understanding, the creation of a series is divided into three parts: pre-preparation, formal filming of the crew, and post-production.
The problem of post-production may not be too big. Although "Dimension Entertainment" has not done any work in film and television special effects yet, it should be solved under the premise that the "Dimension" system has this function.
However, what should I do in the early preparations and what should I do when shooting it in detail?
There should be a dedicated person in charge of this. If Fan Zhe does it himself, he will inevitably have to pay a lot of tuition.
It’s okay to pay the tuition fee, but time cost is a very important issue.
However, although there are many difficulties, this is a path that must be taken. In the future, Van Zhe does not want the business of "Dimension Entertainment" to be limited to animation.
Of course, animation, including CG animation with higher subsequent technical content, is definitely the top priority of the company's business. However, the best way to express many works that Fan Zhe likes will still be movies and TV series.
There must be a beginning.
In Van Zhe's conception, this beginning was either "Hell Apartment" or "Fantasy Three Kingdoms".
...
Wuna, who was staying at home reading, received a call.
It's Du Zhengde's.
"Hey, Xiao Wu?"
"It's me, Director Du."
"That... I want to ask you for help."
From the embarrassment revealed in Director Du's voice, Una probably guessed the purpose of Du Zhengde's call.
As expected.
"Can you... please contact Mr. Fan? Tell him that you have participated in this project. If the filming works well and the box office is high, it will be very beneficial to you."
Una said, "Mr. Fan and I are just friends, so I'm afraid I can't control his decision. Since he is determined not to do this project, I don't have to persuade him much."
Du Zhengde, who was opposite the phone, was complaining about his friend's relationship in his heart? This friend is really strong.
But he definitely can't say that. Although he is a director and is not a big name, he has some reputation and is definitely not comparable to a young actor like Una in terms of status.
In fact, this is true. In the crew, he is quite supportive of Una, but he thinks too much about wanting to communicate equally.
However, the situation is different now. Behind Una is a man named Fan Zhe.
The boss of a company that can do special effects is now their crew is asking for.
There is nothing to do about this.
Du Zhengde would not speak to Wuna in a low voice, but he would definitely not be arrogant.
After breathing a sigh of relief, Du Zhengde changed direction and continued to persuade, "This project is worth 17 million. Think about it, what is the concept of 17 million? This is a big business. If Mr. Fan gives up because of you, because of a little personal conflict, it would be a pity."
"this……"
Feeling that Wu Na's attitude had changed, Du Zhengde continued to work hard. "Think about it, in fact, this matter ends up with the end of this matter, that guy Wang Lingxian was a bit irregular at the beginning. Of course, his behavior was very bad, but there was no need to let the whole business go to ruin because of this, right? Besides, Wang Lingxian has received the punishment he deserves and was fired by the crew immediately. Xiaowu, I think you have to calm down the fire and talk to Mr. Fan."
These words moved Una.
Wu Na hated Wang Lingxian very much. However, after all, she was no longer the time to be frivolous in her youth. She understood what the concept of 17 million was, which was the money that most people would never make in their entire lives.
She didn't want to make Van Zhe lose so much because of herself.
If Fan Zhe really doesn't want to do it, that's fine; but it's clear that "Dimensional Entertainment" has already had a close conversation with the crew of "The Legend of the Demonic War", but it turned out that something happened because of himself.
It's really not very good.
"That's OK, Director Du."
"Did you agree?"
"Well... I will call Van Zhe to persuade him, but I can't guarantee the result."
"It's okay, just do your best, just do your best."
After hanging up the phone, Du Zhengde wiped the sweat from his head.
He is now very, very, very dissatisfied with the investors.
Earlier, he was quite happy when he received such a commercial production; however, after the crew was built, he gradually encountered many unpleasant things.
He is right to be a director, but he has very little power in the crew. He invests in the United States, learns from Hollywood, and implements a producer system. Hu Kang, the general producer, has a greater say in the crew than him.
The most concentrated expression lies in casting.
Du Zhengde originally didn't want young and handsome guys. He knew that the participation of those traffic stars would bring a large number of fans, but that person's acting skills... he really didn't like it.
Moreover, the pay for such popular traffic stars is too expensive.
However, Hu Kang must invite his opinion on behalf of the capital, which made Du Zhengde have no choice.
