Entertainment, I just like making movies

Five p.m.

After Fang Ziheng, Da Tiantian and Song Ge finished talking, they took the elevator downstairs together.

The detailed discussion went smoothly.

Wanda Films finally spent US$25 million to acquire a 15% share of Hengyu Media's science fiction film "Edge of Tomorrow" and a 30% share of the youth film "Dream Back to School".

At the same time, Da Tiantian will play the second female lead in "Edge of Tomorrow", Princess Jinyang in "Famous Four", and the lead female lead in "Youth Campus", a total of three roles.

"Youth Campus" is the first youth idol movie launched by Hengyu this year, focusing on the market of students and young people.

The director has been decided, and Su Lun, a girl who has just joined Hengyu, will be the director.

The investment in this movie is not large, less than 20 million.

After leaving the hotel, Fang Ziheng opened the door of the Audi A6, turned around and waved to the two of them, saying to Da Tiantian: "Come to Hengyu in two days to pick up the script. Let's think about the role of Princess Jinyang first and play it well!"

"Don't worry, director, I will work hard!" Da Tiantian nodded with a smile, stepped forward and helped him close the car door.

The car started and sped onto the busy street.

Looking at the disappearing Audi, Da Tiantian took a breath and said to Song Ge: "Mr. Song, let's go back too."

"Okay, Miss Jing, I'll drive!"

After getting in the car.

Fang Ziheng slumped in the back seat, told the driver to go home, and then slowly closed his eyes to rest.

To be honest, he didn't expect Wanda to be so courageous!

25 million U.S. dollars, a total of 170 million soft girl coins!

What a big dog!

Fang Ziheng doesn’t think it’s all due to Da Tiantian’s influence. It should be Wanda’s desire to borrow the “Edge of Tomorrow” boat to go to sea. The combination of the two is why it offered such a high price!

This cooperation is a win-win situation. In addition to the theaters owned by China Film Group Corporation, Hengyu's four films will also be released in Wanda Cinemas.

This year, Wanda Cinema Chain has grown very fast and has become one of the top ten cinema chains in the country.

As a new brand, Wanda Cinema Line naturally needs popular movies to attract traffic and secure customers.

Fang Ziheng is also happy to have a good relationship with Wanda. The promotion of the movie cannot be separated from the support of the theaters.

Go home, take a shower, and order takeout!

A person's life is so boring.

In the study, Fang Ziheng made a cup of coffee and browsed various entertainment websites leisurely.

The hot news is not today's audition, but the 3D special effects blockbuster "Avatar" that continues to be popular.

Ever since "Avatar" was released in mainland China, it has broken many records in an unrivaled manner.

It was released for 20 days and grossed nearly 900 million in box office!

The media went crazy and reported everything.

The audience went crazy and went to major forums to discuss it. It was even crazier than the craze for watching "Tang Detective".

There are only 11 IAX giant screens in the country, which are shown 24 hours a day, and the venues are full.

The remaining more than 800 medium-sized screens are similar. Every day's movie tickets are sold out the day before. Audiences wait in line and enter the screening hall one by one to watch.

Major Chinese film and television companies are also going crazy and starting new projects one after another.

The themes of the projects all have one thing in common!

3D!

3D!

Still 3D!

Several unknown special effects companies in the Mainland are experiencing heightened competition during this period, and their barriers to entry are about to be crushed by major film and television companies.

The film "Tiangong Yicai" received many orders. When they came up, they said they would invest tens of millions to make a 3D movie. They asked Xiao Yang and Chang Hongsong how many months it would take to complete it, which made them both laugh and cry.

In addition to domestically, "Avatar" also set off a box office storm in various places around the world.

In its first weekend alone, it topped the box office in dozens of countries and regions.

"Avatar" seems to have become a social phenomenon!

When young people gathered together to chat, they changed from talking about national affairs, entertainment stars, to movies.

The reason why Fang Ziheng planned to make "Edge of Tomorrow" into 3D was because he had no choice but to do it because it was the general trend.

The 3D era is here, if you don’t take pictures, others will!

Instead of having other film and television companies ruin the market with shoddy fake 3D movies, it would be better for him to take the lead and set a small benchmark.

In this way, one is true and one is false, and the audience has a comparison, which will not only bring a word-of-mouth effect to "Edge of Tomorrow", but also inspire the audience to spontaneously boycott those bad 3D movies that cheat money.

3D movies are divided into real-shot 3D and converted 3D!

For real shooting, it is natural to use dual-track interactive cameras to synchronize focus and zoom with a gimbal. After special effects rendering in the later stage, a 3D three-dimensional effect is achieved.

Post-production conversion is different. It uses post-production special effects and 3D software to reconstruct a three-dimensional picture of the film that has been shot, and then projects this picture onto the 3D model prepared in advance.

Then it is shot with a machine to reproduce a real 3D movie.

In layman's terms, real-life photography is very troublesome, takes a long time, and costs a lot of money, but the effect is the best.

Transformation also takes a certain amount of time, and it also depends on the cost. The effect of a transformation costing 10 million is not the same as the effect of a transformation costing 5,000.

Just like "Avatar", in addition to using a lot of real shots, Cameron also used some conversions to 3D.

It's just that the conversion is very sophisticated and of a very high level, reaching 80% of the real-shot effect. The audience can hardly notice anything strange when watching the movie.

In one country, there are not many 3D real-shooting cameras in the world. It will be after the hit release of "Avatar" that major equipment companies will take action to develop and produce dual-track interactive one-piece shooting machines.

"Edge of Tomorrow" is valued by China Film and Wanda, and '3D production' accounts for a large part of the reason.

February 2, the dragon raises its head!

In a four-star hotel, Fang Ziheng met the three action directors recommended to him by China Film.

Cheng Xiaodong, Sang Lin, Wu Jing, and the main creative team of "Four Famous Catchers" also arrived.

It would take some time for the script to pass review. Director Han said it was not a big problem and asked him to prepare for the start-up.

In a hotel meeting, Fang Ziheng sat in the middle seat.

To his left, several first-line stars including Zhang Guoli, Li Lianhua, Liu Qianqian, Deng Chao and Huang Jiaozhu were lined up.

After that, there are several important supporting roles such as Da Tiantian, Lei Datou, Guo Jingfei, and Zhang Yi.

On the right side, sitting are Lin Feifei, Cheng Xiaodong, Sang Lin, Wu Jing, Wen Muye, Li Xiaoshu, and the heads of various departments of the crew.

After a few polite words.

Fang Ziheng knocked on the table, glanced around slowly, and said seriously: "Everyone, before filming starts, the preparations must be done. The actors study the script, practice horse riding, fighting moves, and the words and deeds of martial arts masters, etc.

In addition, props, shooting locations, shooting equipment, and scenery all need to be prepared in advance and carefully inspected to ensure safety. "

"Director, don't worry, we will definitely make advance preparations."

As Fang Ziheng called the names one by one, the heads of each department of the crew stood up to express their opinions.

There is nothing wrong with holding a meeting before starting work to unify thoughts and identify responsible persons.

After an explanation, he handed the conference room to Lin Feifei and went out with three action coaches.

Sister Lin is the producer and coordinates the entire crew. Before the filming of the movie starts, she is the leader!

In a double suite.

The four of them were smoking and chatting about several gossip topics.

Happy laughter could be heard in the room from time to time.

After getting to know each other, Fang Ziheng took out a stack of drawn martial arts illustrations from "The Four Famous Catchers" from his backpack and handed them to Cheng Xiaodong, Sang Lin, and Wu Jing respectively.

"Cheng Zhi, Sang Zhi, Brother Jing!"

"I hope that the martial arts action in "The Four Famous Catchers" will be different from the martial arts fighting style of the past, and create a new fighting style that is more serious and practical."
