Entertainment, I just like making movies

New movies appear on the electronic screen one after another.

As a project directed by Fang Ziheng himself, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Secret of the Dragon" made the reporters and industry insiders a little curious, but they were not too surprised.

After all, with Fang Ziheng's ability, if he doesn't shoot, he won't shoot. If he does, it will definitely be a blockbuster.

Many people in the industry have heard of the title "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and it is indeed an adventure and treasure hunt novel that is very suitable for being adapted for the big screen.

but

What's the deal with "The Year of Dreams" and Lao Mouzi?

What's the situation with "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" and Old Monster Xu?

They hooked up with Fang Ziheng, or said they had joined Hengyu Media.

Off the stage, reporters and industry insiders were stunned.

Especially the executives sent by several major film and television giants to inquire about the news. How could they care to watch the excitement at this moment? They quickly took out their mobile phones to take pictures and send the news back to the company.

boom.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly reached that of Gaochao. The reporters no longer pretended to be calm and crowded under the stage to ask questions at the top of their lungs.

"Director Fang, what is the total investment for "The Secret of the Dragon"? When will it be officially launched?"

"Director Zhang Yimou's name is also there. Does that mean he joined Hengyu Media?"

"Director Xu Ke said last month that he wanted to take a longer break, but now he is working with Hengyu Media. Director Fang, what did you do to impress Director Xu?"

"Director Fang, Hengyu Media currently has three major Chinese directors. When will the listing process be started?"

Reporters were all talking and hurriedly asked the questions in their minds.

They couldn't help but be excited.

They can understand Fang Ziheng's bragging, and they can also understand when he holds a press conference to announce his projects this year.

Even if Hengyu Media expands production and controls seven major film projects in a year, they can understand it.

The prospects of the film and television industry are getting better and better. Film and television companies have sprung up in the past two years, and major film and television giants have increased their investment in projects. These situations are general trends and there are no major breakthroughs.

However, Lao Mouzi and Old Monster Xu are different.

The new picture of Lao Mouzi running away caused Zhang Weiping to leave the entertainment industry and live a carefree life with a lot of money.

After the incident broke out, many entertainment companies launched a fight for Lao Mouzi.

In the past five months, no matter how many heads of major film and television giants visited the thatched cottage, there was no sign of any company cooperating with Lao Mouzi.

What do they see now?

Among the projects controlled by Hengyu, Lao Mouzi's name was actually included, and his ranking was only ranked below Fang Ziheng's "Searching for the Dragon".

There is also Mr. Xu. The box office of "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven" exceeded 300 million. Although it did not make any money in terms of pure box office revenue, the influence brought by this movie helped the stocks of the main controller Fang Huayi brothers to rise sharply.

And "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven" was also the only martial arts movie last year after "The Four Famous Catchers".

Mr. Xu has been sharpening his sword for five years. With this movie, he swept away the decline and became a guest of major Chinese film and television companies.

How many companies contacted Mr. Xu to discuss cooperation, and each offered a higher price.

Mr. Xu takes advantage of the limelight to get his own way, enjoys popular food and drinks, and is very cool. Everyone in the industry and the media know this.

Everyone is waiting for the dust to settle to see which film and television company can come out on top and win the new project with Mr. Xu.

Hengyu Media actually defeated a number of established film and television giants and captured Lao Mouzi and Xu Laoguai at the same time.

This damn thing is going against heaven!

The breaking news spread rapidly from the scene, like thunder and lightning, falling from the sky and hitting the hearts of the heads of major film and television companies.

Galloping Pony Headquarters.

boom!

Big dog brother Li Ming threw down his phone and slapped his hand heavily on the table.

"What a good old Mouzi, what a good Fang Ziheng!"

Galloping Horse has contacted Lao Mouzi many times, and Li Ming even personally visited him, asking for people and giving money.

He was just about to kneel down to Lao Mouzi.

He originally thought that if Galloping Pony sincerely invites him, if it doesn't work once, then twice, if it doesn't work twice, then three times, if it doesn't work three times, then ten times, Lao Mouzi will definitely be moved.

Now it seems that everything is his own passion.

Li Ming got up from his seat and came to the window, looking at the traffic under the office building with a look of depression and anger.

dong dong

There was a knock on the door.

Li Ming took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said calmly: "Come in!"

A professional woman in her early 30s with a mature charm stepped in with a small stack of documents.

"Li Fang, what's going on?"

The woman glanced at Li Ming and saw that he had a different look on his face. She handed over the document and said softly: "Director Li, this is the script that Ning Hao and Xu Zhengjing have completed."

"Oh, it's "The Golden Heist", right?"

Li Ming forced a smile and pointed to the sofa for the woman to sit first. He took the file and returned to the boss's chair, and began to open it carefully.

In less than three minutes, Li Ming finished reading the script, raised his head and said to the woman: "Li Fang, what do you think, how big a plate can this project be?"

"50 million to 60 million."

The woman named Li Fang had a solemn expression, her eyes were focused, and she analyzed calmly: "Director Li, if it were Ning Hao's original script, the cost would be controlled within 30 million at most, and it couldn't be any higher, but this script is available. The addition of Xu Zheng added many commercial elements and comedy effects, and successfully promoted it to a standard project for top comedy films."

"You mean this project can reach the level of "Detective Chinatown" and "囧"."

Li Ming was startled and sat upright, staring intently at the upright woman on the sofa three meters away.

The woman in front of her is named Zhong Lifang. She is Galloping Horse's number one general. She is best at risk control and analysis. Her vision and thinking are superhuman. She is a talent that Li Ming finally poached.

Over the years, the projects under her control have almost never lost money.

Before Li Ming invested in "No Man's Land" and "Sword Rain", Zhong Lifang strongly opposed it, believing that the commercial elements and concepts of the two films could not keep up with the times, and it would be difficult to obtain profits and recover costs.

However, Li Ming was interested in Ning Hao and was particularly superstitious about Wu Baige, an international director. He did not listen to Zhong Lifang's advice and invested money anyway.

"I'm really optimistic about this project. If the box office doesn't say 600 million, it's definitely no problem if it's 300 to 400 million."

Zhong Lifang smiled faintly, with a strong sense of confidence on her face as she spoke.

"In that case, let's get the project started quickly. I'm also looking forward to the combination of Ning Hao and Xu Zheng."

Li Ming smiled, rapped the table with his knuckles, and regained his former demeanor as a film and television magnate.

However, before he could finish being happy, Zhong Lifang's next words made him grit his teeth again.

"Director Li, Xu Zheng said that Guangxian Media and Bona will also invest in "The Golden Heist". This is a consensus he has reached with Wang Changtian and Yu Dong long ago!"

"How much investment do they need?"

"Each half takes 30%!"

Zhong Lifang sighed softly and reported a number.

"impossible!"

Li Ming became angry again and said through gritted teeth.

grass!

It’s okay for Lao Mouzi and Fang Ziheng to bully me. Galloping Horse can’t beat them in the theater, so it’s okay to put up with it.

What's more, Wang Changtian and Yu Dong are two idiots who also want to steal his cake, so don't even think about it.

"You should talk to Guangxian and Bona in person. They will give up at most 40% of the share of "Golden Heist". If they have the ability, they will take it all. Galloping Horse must have absolute control of the project."

"clear!"

Zhong Lifang stood up, resolute and ready to take action.

When going out.

Li Ming's faint voice came over: "Li Fang, please make an appointment with Ning Hao and Xu Zheng, and I'll invite them to dinner."

at the same time.

Wang Zhongjun, Wang Changtian, Yu Dong, and Wu Kebo also received messages from their subordinates.

Wang Zhonglei was so angry that he scolded Mr. Xu in his brother Wang Zhongjun's office for being cunning and cunning.

When Hua Yi originally invested in "Detective Dee: The Great Empire," he was under tremendous pressure and ridiculed by the media.

At that time, although Xu Ke had already recovered from the failure of "Seven Swordsmen", he had long lost his aura as a Hong Kong martial arts master and was just a veteran director who had moved to the mainland to seek development.

In the five years from 2005 to 2010, Xu Ke only filmed one film, "The Iron Triangle."

This movie was released on National Day in 2007, with a box office of 29.17 million. It stars Sun Honglei, Simon Yam, and Louis Koo, and also stars Lin Xilei, Lin Jiadong, You Yong, and Lin Jie.

Considering the main creative lineup at that time, the salary alone was several million, so it was definitely a loss-making film.

In other words, in those years, apart from his former halo, Xu Ke was not a director who reassured investors.

It was Hua Yi who gave Xu Ke a hand, and it was the big and small king brothers who gave him a chance to rise again.

"Di Renjie: The Tongtian Empire", with a total investment of 130 million, allows Mr. Xu to create it as he wishes.

It's better now.

You old monster Xu is awesome again, so you turned around and threw Hua Yi for someone else.

Wang Zhonglei cursed and wanted to go directly to Hengyu Media's press conference and asked Mr. Xu how dare he?

How could he do such a thing of burning down bridges?

After scolding Mr. Xu, Wang Zhonglei scolded Fang Ziheng again, saying that he was so bold that he even dared to touch Hua Yi's butt.

"Okay, if you are struck by lightning, calm down and stop scolding me."

Wang Zhongjun stopped his brother's abuse, lit a cigar and fell into silence.

He was much calmer, and even though he didn't like Old Monster Xu's approach, he didn't show too much anger.

He actually had some expectations that Mr. Xu would no longer cooperate with Hua Yi after filming "Detective Dee".

After all, "Detective Dee" is a big investment and is not suitable for one movie a year. It has to give the audience some slack.

It would be best to release a second volume in two or three years.

In addition, Huayi's projects for this year have been finalized, and Mr. Xu is unwilling to shoot any more small and medium-cost projects.

Another thing is that other film and television companies have already prepared rice and waited for Old Monster Xu. If anyone changes, they will cooperate with whichever company pays the highest price.

Wang Zhongjun just didn't expect that Hengyu Media would win over Guangxian and Bona, and win over Mr. Xu first.

What he cares more about is the projects Hengyu revealed this year!

Seven movies a year!

It was only two or three films behind Huayi, and it once caught up with Guangxian and Bona, beating Galloping Pony, Orange Sky, and Wanda Films.

"Don't boo!"

Wang Zhongjun thought with his eyes and muttered softly.

Immediately, he looked at his depressed brother on the sofa: "Zhong Lei, please prepare yourself. We will hold a press conference in the next two days to inform the outside world of our annual film list."

"Come on, this is what you have to do!"

Wang Zhonglei slapped his thigh, his face suddenly became happy, and he said cheerfully: "Hengyu Media is bragging about seven movies a year. That's because we at Huayi are keeping a low profile and don't want to publicize it. Brother, don't worry, I'm sure of this. Do it beautifully, don’t let Fang Ziheng be more beautiful than before!”

"Be careful, don't provoke Fang Ziheng on purpose!" Wang Zhongjun warned his brother because he was worried about his brother messing around.

He was still thinking about using Old Monster Xu's incident to complain to Fang Ziheng and take the opportunity to invest in "The Secret of the Dragon".

Wang Zhonglei didn't know his brother's plan, but he listened to his words and said as he went out: "Brother, don't worry, he will brag about his, and I will brag about mine. Hua Yi and Heng Yu are not in conflict with each other!"

Wanda Hotel press conference site.

Fang Ziheng stood on the stage and answered every reporter's question without hesitation.

Only now did he understand why those wealthy people liked to brag in front of the public.

Really, it’s so cool!

I don’t know that my wife is beautiful and strong.

Ordinary families live in deep cities.

Wanda Pharaoh who has a small goal of 100 million.

Rebus is the one who takes life and death lightly and will do whatever he wants if he doesn't accept it.

And there is Jack Ma from Hangzhou who never touches money and doesn't like money.

All of these are braggadocios, and countless netizens admire them with shame.

Fang Ziheng is still not far behind. He is currently only making a few remarks in the entertainment and film circles. When it comes to the entire industry, he is nothing.

After talking about the film and television projects controlled by Hengyu in 2011, the scene was quiet for a while.

Everyone drank water, discussed, and waited for Fang Ziheng to announce the end of the press conference.

However, they thought too much.

The second press conference is coming soon.

While everyone was whispering about the investment funds for Hengyu's major projects, whether several new directors were qualified to direct, and which celebrity artist could get the resources for these projects.

The door of the banquet hall was suddenly pushed open, and under the guidance of the etiquette lady, two men and two women appeared at the door dressed in costumes.

Hearing the sound, everyone turned around subconsciously.

"Damn it, why is Lao Mouzi here at this time!"

"Liu Ye, Liu Qianqian, and Yang Xuejian, what are they doing here? Are they scheduled to star in a certain project of Hengyu?"

"Quick, quick, hurry up and take pictures. I have a feeling there will be big news later!"

"I'm going. The two vice presidents of Hengyu are also here. Juebi is planning to do something big!"

Everyone stood up and stared at Lao Mouzi, Liu Ye, Liu Qianqian and Yang Xuejian who were walking forward with their heads held high as they walked across the aisle towards the stage.

Behind the four people, Lin Feifei, Andy, Chang Jihong, Mu Qianqian, Zeng Jia, and Lao Mouzi's wife were all present.

Fang Ziheng smiled and said nothing, took two steps forward and extended his hand to invite the four of them to take a seat on the stage.

Click, click, click..

The reporters were excited again and rushed to click their cameras to take pictures of this shocking and confusing scene.

The five of them sat down again, with Fang Ziheng sitting in the middle.

On the left is Lao Mouzi, on the right is Liu Qianqian, on the second left is Liu Ye, and on the second right is Yang Xuejian.

The seats are very particular, with the director as the top priority and the actors as assistants.

Just when everyone thought Hengyu was going to announce the starring role of the movie and when it would be released.

Lin Feifei stepped onto the stage with elegant steps, took the microphone from the etiquette girl, and looked at the audience with a smile.

"Everyone, for the second press conference today, Hengyu Media held a welcome ceremony for director Zhang Yimou and three big stars, Liu Ye, Liu Qianqian, and Yang Xuejian.

From today on, the four of them are part of Hengyu Media. I am very happy to be colleagues and a family with them.

In the days to come, let’s build a better future together, contribute to Chinese film and television culture, contribute our little bit to China’s entertainment industry, and create the glorious career of Hengyu Media. "

Lin Feifei's confident and passionate words were like dropping a bomb into the water, instantly making the stage boil.
