Entertainment, I just like making movies

In the auditorium.

Fang Ziheng's clear voice echoed.

In the middle of the sixth row, four girls with good looks and temperament were sitting together.

Hiss

"Senior Brother Fang is so handsome and looks so charming!"

"Handsome, elegant, and so talented."

"Have you noticed that when Senior Brother Fang stands on the stage, in terms of temperament alone, even Leader Huang and Deng Chao can't beat him."

"Wow... Jinyan, you're actually blushing."

"Giggle. Let me tell you, last night I got up to go to the bathroom and heard Jin Yan calling Senior Brother Fang's name from under the covers."

"Brother Ziheng..."

"No, I didn't shout. It was Chunchun who started shouting last year."

The four female students talked more and more outrageously, and even drove the car onto the highway as they talked.

In the row in front of them, Kan Qingzi couldn't stand listening anymore and couldn't help but turned around and said with a smile, "Hey, you guys, do you want to be such a nymphomaniac?"

Interrupted by the senior sister, Wu Jinyan and Li Chun quickly sat upright and listened carefully.

They had just entered the school last year and did not dare to have a verbal argument with this senior sister who had already made her debut and was somewhat famous.

Next to Kan Qingzi, a beautiful woman with fair skin and pure temperament turned to look at her and joked: "Qingzi, you are still talking about them. Didn't you talk about Senior Brother Fang every day before and were afraid of his drama!"

"Shuangzi, don't come here. If the eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother, don't you have any ideas?"

Kan Qingzi chuckled and stared at Fang Ziheng on the stage.

idea!

anthomaniac!

Zheng Shuang narrowed her eyes slightly and raised the corners of her mouth. Zhang Han, who officially confessed to her some time ago, flashed in her mind.

The new generation of popular stars in the entertainment industry.

In terms of appearance and temperament, he is not much inferior to Senior Brother Fang!

Most of the girls were talking about Fang Ziheng.

The boys didn't even have to think about it. They turned into LSPs one by one and stared at Liu Qianqian with bright eyes.

When talking about the scandal between Fang Ziheng and Liu Qianqian, many men were so angry that their teeth itched with hatred.

I have the urge to rush on stage and beat someone up.

Liu Qianqian's performance in "The Four Famous Catchers" is definitely worthy of praise, especially the famous scene at the end, which attracted countless fans and fans to cheer.

Some people on the Internet have begun to compare the famous scene with the classic scenes of the four goddesses in Hong Kong.

I believe it won’t be long before it will be changed into a classic scene of the five goddesses.

………

On the podium.

After Fang Ziheng finished his opening remarks, he looked at the hundreds of pairs of eyes staring closely at him, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

Once upon a time, he was sitting in the audience, staring enviously at the seniors on the stage, dreaming of one day being able to shoot a movie of his own.

In his previous life, he worked hard in movies, TV series and online dramas for more than ten years, but still couldn't get started.

In this life, God gave him an extra identity!

A Grade 04 directing student from Nortel.

As an orthodox academic, with such a layer of skin protecting him, he could easily enter Director Han's sight.

Otherwise, even if he has a vision that transcends time, it will take him two more years to succeed.

call.

Fang Ziheng took a breath, opened the laptop in front of him, clicked on the projection screen, and played the first movie he shot.

"The Unknown"!

On the big screen, the prelude to the movie appeared.

"Anyone who has watched this movie should know that the shooting conditions were insufficient, and it is a typical comedy and absurd movie that uses small things to make big things happen."

Looking back now, apart from the overall plot, the scenes, pictures, lighting, and props all seemed a bit crude! "

Fang Ziheng spoke at a normal speed and spoke out the shortcomings of "The Unknown" without hesitation.

As for the movie itself, the plot drives the actors. As long as the actors are strong enough and have proper publicity, it will be invincible.

But that’s all!

There is a threshold limit for film production funds. If you don't have enough money, no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain.

Just serving Hua Dao seems a bit petty, with almost no brand-name or fashionable clothes.

"Tang Detective" at least has the charming Zeng Li. Whether it is pajamas or everyday styles, they are all expensive clothes.

As time passed, Fang Ziheng began to explain in depth.

Everyone in the audience also stopped laughing and listened carefully.

ten minutes later.

Fang Ziheng stopped talking, picked up the tea cup and moistened his throat.

At this time, in the eighth row of the audience, a boy with glasses, short hair and a beard stood up, raised his hand and asked loudly: "Brother Fang, do you think a small-budget movie should be screened in the hospital?" If so, what subject matter would be better to choose?”

Next to the boy, there was a row of men of the same age as him.

They all appear to be in their late twenties or early thirties. These are graduate students who have entered Nortel after graduating from universities in various places. They are talents in the three major departments of management, directing, and photography.

Fang Ziheng smiled faintly, knowing that these guys in the audience would not abide by the rules and would definitely take advantage of the opportunity to ask questions.

Looking at the boy who was several years older than him, Fang Ziheng flicked the microphone and emphasized his tone.

"The fact that you can ask the topic first means that you have a rough answer in mind, but you just can't decide what to pay attention to."

There was laughter in the audience, and many people turned to look at the man in glasses who asked the question.

The bespectacled man stood upright, motionless, looking at Fang Ziheng, not embarrassed by the big guy's laughter.

At his age, he has long passed the shy stage, and being able to learn is the most important thing.

"As far as the current film market is concerned, with an investment of less than 20 million, there are four themes for everyone to consider."

"Comedy, suspense, youth, love!"

"These four themes can all meet the conditions of insufficient small-cost funds."

After saying this, Fang Ziheng paused, his eyes focused, and he leaned forward slightly, slowly scanning the audience and looking at the many students in the audience.

subsequently

Fang Ziheng's voice suddenly became louder and he said in a serious tone: "There is nothing wrong with newbies choosing low-budget movies when making movies, but the more important thing is to choose the subject matter that you are good at.

For a movie to be able to enter theaters, it must have its selling points and highlights that can capture the audience's hearts and attract their attention. "

“The audience I’m talking about is everyone who has watched the movie in addition to the creator of the movie, including school teachers, classmates, investors, and distributors of the movie!

In other words, this attraction has already started when we come up with the script, look for investment, and prepare the crew. "

“The reason why the script has the title of ‘the basis of a play’ is that we rely on it to impress investors and seniors in the industry to seek their help.

Only in this way can you completely shoot the film and then put it on the cinema to face a large audience. "

As soon as Fang Ziheng finished speaking, the audience burst into warm applause again.

Many directing and screenwriting students' eyes lit up, and their hands turned red with excitement.

These words have never been said to them!

Even the teachers at school only teach them to focus on two directions in creation, one is towards art to win awards, and the other is towards business to win box office.

But they were not told that before the movie came out, there was still a hurdle of investors to pass.

Think about it, no matter how hard it is, a movie requires millions or tens of millions of production funds.

If your script is not strong, how can you fool investors?

The teacher didn't say it before, because there were many talented people in the coal business in the past two years. When people hear that you graduated from Nortel's directing department, who is your teacher and who is your uncle, they will naturally respect you a bit.

Unlike the three Internet gangsters who entered the market in the past two years, they started talking about big data.

So what about directors, they still have to film according to their ideas. In their view, with big data in hand, they will never worry about the audience buying tickets.

Fang Ziheng waved the man with eyes to sit down, and began to explain the use of various types of work such as film shooting techniques, lighting, photography, and props.

Movies are visual products, also known as money-burning art.

The length of each movie must be controlled within a controllable range.

Theaters show movies in two-hour rounds, and the duration of the movie is best kept within one hour and fifty minutes.

The remaining ten minutes are left for the audience to leave and for a new batch of viewers to enter the screening room.

In less than two hours, if a movie wants to show a complete story, it cannot be protracted or long-winded.

Therefore, how to use shooting techniques to reproduce the stories, pictures, and scenes in the script is particularly important.

Fang Ziheng's explanation was profound and simple, using the most straightforward words to describe various problems encountered by the crew during filming.

Due to weather conditions, the light was blocked and the front and rear images could not be connected, so lighting was needed to make up for it.

Due to the transition between indoor and outdoor scenes and shooting on the next day, the actors' states and expressions were different, so they needed help with makeup.

The professional students in the audience were mesmerized by the various shooting tips.

These shooting details are difficult to learn from books. Without going to the set to practice in person, students will always be able to talk on paper.

Many teachers in the performance department at Nortel teach and take on acting roles at the same time, in order not to rest on their laurels and to enable students to keep pace with the times.

The teachers in Nortel's Directing Department and Photography Department are different. They haven't filmed or directed for many years.

In addition to their vision for reading scripts, teachers are also ignorant of the innovations in film and television technology in recent years.

On the left side of the podium, Dean Zhang smiled broadly and said to Vice Dean Liu beside him: "Today's lesson was done correctly!"

"Old Liu, the school will organize classes like this in the future. We will invite all the directors who left our school to come back to give lectures!"

"Ahem."

Vice President Liu rolled his eyes after hearing this.

I also asked them all to come back. Whoever was scolding me, saying they were white-eyed wolves, and not returning to Nortel for casting, all of them ran away to the drama.

You, Lao Zhang, are really happy with the scolding. Even if these directors want to come back in the future, they have to think about it.

Yes!

The person who took the lead in scolding Betel was Dean Zhang Huijun.

Dean Zhang is also a student of Nortel's class of '78, and is also the monitor of the Photography Department!

At that time, Lao Mouzi, Chen Daren, Tian Zhuangzhuang, and Zhang Huijun had a close relationship.

The foursome swept everything on the Nortel basketball court.

Soon, an hour passed.

Fang Ziheng finished roughly explaining the three movies, and the students in the audience listened with great interest.

Whether it is the acting department or other departments, whether it is their own major or not, they are all in the same film and television industry. Teachers usually accept them when rehearsing and rehearsing dramas, and there will be no confusion or incomprehension.

When it came to the question-and-answer session, Fang Ziheng nodded at the girl in the middle with his raised hands.

Wu Jinyan got excited, covered her mouth and stood up from her seat.

it's me!

It's really me!

Senior Brother Fang has copied my brand!

She widened her eyes with a puzzled look on her face.

"Hey hey... wake up!"

Li Shun couldn't stand it anymore and quickly tugged on Wu Jinyan's clothes: "Stop being such a nymphomaniac, there are so many people watching!"

"oh oh.."

The little girl suddenly woke up, blushed and bowed slightly to Fang Ziheng, and spoke loudly in front of countless envious eyes.

"Hello, senior brother, my name is Wu Jinyan. I am an undergraduate student in the Department of Acting in 2008. I am 165cm tall and weigh..."

boom..

The audience burst into laughter and looked at Wu Jinyan like a fool!

Girl, what are you doing?

Are you here to ask questions, or are you here for a blind date?

Fang Ziheng was also drunk.

He could see that the little girl was excited and a little nervous.

This is normal. His current achievements, in front of this group of juniors and juniors, are no less than when fans meet their favorite stars.

He stretched out his hand and pressed it, and said softly: "It's okay, just keep talking!"

Wu Jinyan stopped introducing herself, cleared her throat, looked at Fang Ziheng, and asked: "Brother, how do you choose actors when you make a movie?"

Damn it

this problem!

Wu Jinyan's words instantly silenced the auditorium.

Everyone held their breath and looked towards the center of the stage.

This question was asked in the hearts of everyone. Not only the students, but also the teachers who were listening wanted to know the answer!

Fang Ziheng's movies are all hits, and they have become one of the most valued project resources for celebrities and artists in the entertainment industry.

Especially the male and female protagonists have extraordinary allure.

Just like Sun Li, she had always been a TV star before, but after playing the role of Ma Jiaqi in "The Unknown", she suddenly became a movie star.

And Lao Dengtou, who was promoted to a real A-list movie star.

Not to mention Liu Qianqian and Huang Jiaozhu, the two of them successfully got rid of the complaints that their fame is greater than their acting skills through "Four Famous Catchers".

Fang Ziheng took a deep look at Wu Jinyan.

This woman is not simple!

He took two steps back, dragged the small sliding whiteboard aside, and quickly wrote two sentences with a pen.

“Choose actors based on scripted roles!”

"Adjust the character in the play with the style of an actor!"

After finishing writing, Fang Ziheng pushed the small whiteboard to the front of the stage and showed it to everyone in the audience.

There were whispers in the audience, and the students started discussing among themselves.

The topics discussed are a bit weird.

Compare my own image with some of the characters in the three movies.

The implication behind the scenes is that they can also play a certain role.

Fang Ziheng ignored this and directly explained the deeper meaning of the two sentences.

"The so-called selection of roles based on scripts is mainly reflected in auditions."

"For example, for the role of Quintiles in "Tang Detective", several artists came to audition, including Huang Bo and Xiao Yang."

"It stands to reason that Huang Bo has been in the industry for many years and has participated in several movies. He is bigger than Xiao Yang in terms of acting skills and reputation. The role of Quintiles seems to be more suitable for Huang Bo."

"How do you think Huang Bo lost?"

Fang Ziheng asked leisurely, looking at everyone with a smile.

"I know, it's because of the looks!"

A boy, urged by others, stood up and said loudly.

"Ha ha.."

Everyone in the audience was happy. It was the first time they heard that a comedy film depends on appearance.

"It's because of the image!"

Another voice came, and the big guy turned around and found that it was the bespectacled man who asked the question first.

Fang Ziheng gave a thumbs up, nodded to the man with glasses, and said calmly: "Yes, this classmate can see very accurately!"

"Actually, Huang Bo lost in the first round of the audition!"

"When Xiao Yang put on makeup and stood in front of me in Quintiles costume, I knew he was the Quintiles I was looking for!"

"And when Xiao Yang pointed to the sky and swore out the words, 'I am sworn in with sin,' everyone at the scene applauded him!"

“It’s all about choosing the actor for the role!”

Fang Ziheng’s words were resounding, reminding the students of the hilarious scene of Quintiles’ appearance in the movie “The Detective”.

Everyone smiled knowingly, the role of Quintai seemed to be tailor-made for Xiao Yang, and it belonged to Jue Juezi.

Afterwards, Fang Ziheng talked about several character choices and explained the second sentence.

What does it mean to adapt to the role in an actor's style?

After the actors were decided, filming started.

Since each actor has his own acting style, it is impossible to fully achieve the level of the scripted role.

At this time, the director needs to step in and fine-tune the actor's performance and role, so that both parties can reach a balance, produce a chemical reaction, and show the charm of the characters in the movie.

This kind of achievement not only tests the director's ability, but also considers the actor's acting talent.

Complete the lecture.

Fang Ziheng waved to everyone and stepped down from the stage.

There was a wave of applause in the auditorium.

Many school girls stood up excitedly and shouted for Senior Brother Fang Ziheng.

"Brother, you are my idol!"

"Brother, I like you!"

"Senior Brother Fang, I will go to your company after graduation!"

………

June 26th.

The box office results for the fifth day of "The Big Four" finally came out in the early hours of the morning.

51 million!

Compared with 66 million last weekend, it dropped more than 25% and still leads the single-day box office.

On Tuesday, the decline continued, reaching 45 million!

On Wednesday, the decline continued, 42.5 million!

It has been relatively stable since then, maintaining a single-day box office between 38 million and 40 million.

The media also noticed the situation. After receiving money to promote other movies for a few days, Kejin turned the gun and started touting "The Four Famous Cats".

"The summer movie was a smash hit. After "Famous" grossed 178 million at the box office in four days on its first weekend, it did not show any signs of power in the second week, with a super high box office of 250 million in six days."

"It exceeded 100 million in three days, 200 million in five days, 300 million in seven days, and exceeded 400 million in ten days. "Famous Man" became popular all over the country, and its single-week box office exceeded the sum of all movies in the same period."

""Famous Catchers" generated a super high box office of 400 million in ten days. Director Fang Ziheng used his strength to prove that martial arts films have never declined and the market has never wavered. Audiences who love ancient costumes and martial arts films are finally waiting for their visual feast."

"The martial arts detective blockbuster "Four Famous Detectives" produced by Hengyu Media and participated by China Film and Huayi has been making rapid progress since its release.

It earned 415 million RMB in ten days, and topped the mainland weekend box office charts for two consecutive weeks, setting a new record for director Fang Ziheng’s best opening performance. "

Invincible!

"The Four Famous Catchers" are invincible!

The crazy media exaggerated "The Four Famous Catchers".

On Weibo, "The Four Famous Catchers" is being discussed everywhere on the Internet, starting from the box office, to the plot of the movie, to the performance of the actors.

With the popularity of the movie, several of the leading actors in the movie have borne the brunt of being in the eyes of the majority of netizens.

Among the leading actors, Fang Ziheng, Dao Mingshu, Liu Qianqian, Li Lianhua, and Deng Chao performed best.

Leader Huang's 50-50 score gave him the title of online acting, but it did not impress the audience.

Among the six people who were praised, Fang Ziheng does not need to say more. As a director and screenwriter, he continues to suppress life-seeking characters, even if he plays very well, is handsome and decisive.

Of course, it's not really useless.

At least his Weibo has gained a lot of followers these days, with more than two million viewers.

They are all young girls, one of them is so shameless, shouting on his Weibo that he is chasing his younger brother and husband!

Yes, it’s the life-chasing brother!

In the plot of the movie, there is a scene describing Zhui Ming and Qing Qing learning martial arts together.

In the scene, Wu Qing called Zhui Ming his younger brother when he was a child, but changed his name when he grew up. First he called him Junior Brother, and finally Zhui Ming.

It’s so embarrassing!

This is the only three emotional exchanges between opposite sexes in the entire movie.

In the other two scenes, one shows the ambiguous looks between the two characters, Huang Jiaozhu and Yang Baobao.

One is the last scene, when Zhui Ming rushes into the ruthless room and sees the famous beauty.

The purpose of ambiguity and emotion is to lay the foundation for the sequel.

Uncle Dao Ming's Zhuge Zhengwo exudes a master's demeanor from the inside out.

In the movie, wherever Uncle Dao Ming stands, he is the center of the crowd's attention, making people unconsciously convinced of him.

His aura and demeanor are even better than those of the Shenhou in "The Best in the World"!

There is also the second pavilion master of Luanfeng Pavilion played by Li Lianhua, who vividly shows a neutral BOOS who is beautiful, intelligent and has unparalleled martial arts skills.

What she told Fang Ziheng before was correct. In the first part of "Four Famous Catchers", her role was not much less than that of Liu Qianqian.

Under her performance, the audience was hooked and called for Li Lianhua to star in the second film.

It really echoes what Li Lianhua said: It’s not yet certain who will be the female lead.

July 1st!

Mainland propaganda has come to an end.

Led by Andy and Uncle Dao Ming, Liu Qianqian, Li Lianhua, Da Tiantian, Deng Chao, and Huang Jiaozhu boarded a plane from the imperial capital and flew to Hong Kong Island for the second wave of publicity.

Along with them were everyone's assistants and staff from the Hengyu Media publicity department.

At the airport, Fang Ziheng came to see him off. After explaining some security matters, he pulled Andy aside.

Andy wore a white shirt and a black knee-baring buttocks coverall on his lower body, showing off his hot and sexy figure.

She looked at Fang Ziheng's slightly serious look and smiled softly: "My boss Fang, if you have anything important to explain, please tell me!"

"There is indeed something important!"

Fang Ziheng nodded, took a breath, and said, "I want you to go abroad with me this time. There are two things to do."

"First, after the promotion in Hong Kong Island, Smecta, and Xiaori, you can fly to Singapore two days in advance to visit Shanda's boss Chen Tianqiao to discuss the acquisition of shares in Qidian Chinese Network."

"You mean, now is the time to take action on the starting point?"

Andy's beautiful eyes narrowed, and his relaxed expression suddenly turned serious.

As early as last year, Fang Ziheng proposed to acquire part of the shares of Qidian. At that time, Chen Tianqiao had just fallen ill and went to Singapore to recuperate.

There were turbulence within Shanda. Several senior executives at Qidian Chinese Network rushed back to the headquarters one by one. Qidian Wu Wenhui and others breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, Shanda stabilized and issued some documents one after another, including the intention to sell its properties and projects.

However, Qidian was still growing at that time and was not included in the first batch of projects to be sold.

"It's not that the time is ripe, it's that we don't have time!"

Fang Ziheng laughed at himself and said solemnly: "Wanda entered the market this year. The first wave of hot money has arrived in the film and television industry. Capital has already targeted the entertainment industry. Qidian.com, as an important node in the entertainment industry, will soon be attracted by large-scale capital with vision. Keep an eye on.

If we at Hengyu don’t take action before the second wave of capital enters the market, it will be difficult to pay attention to the starting point in the future. "

Fang Ziheng did not explicitly say that the second wave of capital was the three major gangsters on the Internet. He believed in Andy's sense of smell.

I believe this beautiful woman can understand his thoughts.

really.

Miss An pondered for a while, and soon thought about where the threat came from.

"Understood, I will rush in before BAT enters the field and do my best to win the starting point from Shanda."

"Mr. Fang, starting from the arrival of smartphones, the size and valuation have grown very fast. I think you can have a chat with Wu Wenhui and others and listen to their opinions."

"I will!"

Fang Ziheng smiled, Andy's proposal was very important.

Last year, he proposed to acquire 10% of Qidian’s shares for RMB 50 million, and Wu Wenhui and his team agreed.

Now in the past eight months, Qidian.com has continued to appreciate in value, and the acquisition price will surely rise again and again.

After saying the first thing, Fang Ziheng took out a few A4 papers and handed them to Andy, and said solemnly: "These are the small and medium-sized Hollywood film companies I listed. When you arrive in the United States, take a look at all these companies and find out Come to a company worth buying.”

"Hollywood!"

Andy exclaimed softly, took the A4 paper and read it carefully.

Above are a dozen Hollywood film companies recorded by Fang Ziheng with an oil-based pen. They are all small companies that only produce B-level investment films and have no ability to distribute. They can only survive by relying on the six Hollywood giants.

As the Chinese film market continues to expand, the number of co-production projects will also increase year by year.

Hengyu Media can fully rely on the movies it controls and the co-productions it participates in to open up the American market.

The foreign-style scripts in Fang Ziheng's computer can be produced locally in Hollywood and distributed by a film giant.

Deng Wendi of 20th Century Fox is a good partner.

This year is the end of 2010, and there are still six years until 2017.

Even if Fang Ziheng is desperate, he still wants to make a fortune from the European and American markets.

Then, he told Andy several conditions for selecting a movie company.

The most important criterion is that the boss of a film company must be responsible.

He's not a proper person, he doesn't need it!

………

After hugging everyone goodbye, Fang Ziheng drove back to the company.

Tonight, he and Concubine Lin will go to Wangfujing Xingmei Cinema to attend the premiere ceremony of "Nanjing Nanjing".

Originally he didn't want to go, but he couldn't resist the repeated invitations of the two brothers.

Then he thought, it might as well go there!

Anyway, before and after the movie was released, he would definitely criticize the movie and the sand sculpture master.

Only by going there in person and watching the movie can you have a say.

It's annoying to the eyes!

He didn't even watch the movie, so he just said such sophistry when he fired back.
