They are all too deep into the drama!

Chapter 507 "Inner Beauty" Movie Character Settlement

"For "Animal Control", a new special effects production company has also been found."

Speaking of this, Huo Chengyin couldn't help but clicked his tongue, shook his head and said:
"That's really expensive. Just a few minutes of special effects shots cost us two million US dollars. Some shots even require reshoots for post-production!"

Originally, I wanted to spend 20 million to make a movie to fool Liu Tianxian, so I decided to make this the first official collaboration between two top celebrities in the industry, thinking that I would not lose money anyway.

As a result, now that the cost of special effects is added in, the cost has almost doubled. If the box office is not good in the end, you may still lose money...

In fact, with the price of special effects production, it’s hard to say whether you’re being cheated or not!

But there is no way. This is because domestic special effects have not yet developed and cannot meet the special effects requirements needed for movies.

Regardless of whether the price quoted by others is honest or not, you can only accept it!
Huo Chengyin gritted his teeth in pain and said:

"You are right, we have to set up a special effects company ourselves, otherwise we will be cheated. Xiang Zixin has almost made preparations, and it should start to take off this year!"

In other words, if Huo Mingjie has money, he can buy whatever he lacks.

Huo Mingjie couldn't help laughing when he saw his nephew's painful appearance, shook his head and said:
"Don't worry too much, this can be considered an investment in emerging industries."

But it is undeniable that this TV series is truly a phenomenon-level hit!

Otherwise, if it were someone else, they would either have to endure the pain and spend a lot of money to do special effects, or they would have to hold their noses and accept the 50 cents for special effects...

But the ratings of this drama also reflect the fact that martial arts dramas are beginning to become less popular. They are really not as popular as before...

At least Sugar Man is quite satisfied with this, and Master Liu has gained a lot of fame.

Huo Mingjie nodded and said:
"There is no rush this year. We can make a movie next year to test the waters. By then our own special effects company should also be established..."

The original novel "Flower Thousand Bones" was on the list of a certain Jiang Literature City last year.

After watching the fairy tale dramas like Flight of the Sword and Demon-Slayer, I have begun to despise martial arts dramas that are not good enough.

In a few years, the Xianxia drama will have been "rolled" to the point where the time unit is measured in "ten thousand years", and the world will be destroyed at every turn...

But the final ratings of more than 8 points can only be regarded as average among works starring Huo Mingjie.

After hearing his second uncle's explanation, Huo Chengyin keenly grasped the key point and asked:
"So, Uncle Second, do you like the fairy tale drama?"

Huo Mingjie and Liu Shishi previously collaborated on "The Stranger", although Huo Mingjie starred in it himself, it was well-produced and it was a wonderful group drama.

Although this evaluation is a bit exaggerated, it is not too wrong.

There was a lot of controversy after this TV series. It was said that it started the "funeral style" of immortals and heroes. From then on, the gods only focused on falling in love and would destroy the world at every turn.

This novel has not yet been published, but Huo Mingjie has already asked someone to obtain the copyright...

"In the TV drama market in the past two years, the public is no longer interested in martial arts dramas, and has begun to develop towards fairy tale dramas! As long as the special effects company starts to develop, the money will be earned back sooner or later."

Of course, compared to the original version, which had no response at all, this time it was considered a small hit and the results were already very good.

Just as the enjoyment threshold of readers of novels is getting higher and higher, the same is true for viewers of TV series.

When this drama was on the air, people said that the stock market fell and fugitives were arrested because of the drama.

There are a lot of elements of exaggeration and advocacy, but at least being able to exaggerate like this requires a little foundation...

In fact, Huo Mingjie now really has no shortage of a phenomenal hit drama to prove himself. But what he is planning now is to export culture to East Asia.

Compared with modern idol dramas, fairy tale dramas are what are truly unique to us.

Of course, a show like "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" should actually be called a "fairy puppet show."

Xianxia is just incidental, talking about love is the essence!
But there is nothing we can do about it. The humiliating history in modern times has caused us to lose the right to speak culturally about East Asia.

You came up and made it too advanced all at once. They couldn't understand it at all when you were filming "The Romance of the Gods" and "Buddha Is the Tao"!
Mix in a little love and love and let them have some contact first.

After people in East Asia know more about it and have some basic knowledge, we can give them some big jobs in the future...

In fact, if Huo Mingjie hadn't intervened, the follow-up development would have been almost the same.

Although there is not much movement in Bangzi Country and Sakura Country, in Southeast Asia, the killings are starting to go crazy. Many of the best among the young people come here...

Huo Chengyin always recognized his second uncle's vision, so he naturally nodded in agreement.

After the serious talk was over, Huo Mingjie suddenly remembered something and continued:

"By the way, find someone to help me gather some good wood and come back!"

"timber?"

The cheap nephew was slightly confused and asked inexplicably:
"What do you want to do?"

When Huo Mingjie heard this, he said vaguely:
"Well, I learned a little bit about furniture design while filming... I'm not very satisfied with the furniture in the farm now, so I plan to make it myself!"

[The role - "Jin Yu" in "Inner Beauty" has been completed! 】

[Percent of scenes: A- (Although you are the male protagonist, due to the subject of the movie, your proportion of scenes is not large, or even small.)]

[Acting Skill Rating: S+ (Your acting skills are extremely delicate with all your efforts, both body movements and facial expressions are outstanding, there is nothing to fault!)]

[Comprehensive rating: S-]

[Based on the comprehensive evaluation, you will select one piece from the skills and items of the character "Jin Yu" as a reward! 】

[Skills acquired: Skilled craftsman (the movie actor "Jin Yu", as a furniture designer who has an independent studio at a young age and has become famous, has abilities in woodworking skills that ordinary people cannot match!)]

A relatively useless skill, but it's not too bad, and it's somewhat useful.

This kind of "fantasy" theme is actually a character in a romance movie, so don't expect to get any special skills!

"what?"

Huo Chengyin blinked twice, a little surprised. But he quickly accepted his second uncle's explanation.

After all, my second uncle is extremely talented. Isn't it normal for him to learn something every time he makes a movie...

"Okay, then you have to be careful when doing it yourself..." Huo Chengyin said.

Just don't get hurt, and let your second uncle do whatever else you want!
Hearing this, Huo Mingjie nodded with a smile and said:
"understood!"
