Entertainment, I just like making movies

The May Day labor holiday ushered in a turnaround for the film market, which had been sluggish for more than a month.

A shot in the arm stirred up troubles and directly boosted the box office of "Guan Yunchang", which was released on April 26, to exceed 100 million in the first six days, winning the weekly box office championship.

The lead actors Zhen Zizi, Sun Niangniang, and Jiang Wen were on the hot search list, showing off their faces.

The movie "Guan Yunchang" has also been praised by the good media as the trigger to start the summer movie war.

The heat comes and goes away just as quickly.

Today's mainland film market is no longer an era where one billion-dollar box office dominates the world.

Unless you encounter a low-cost production of 10 to 20 million yuan and show off as a dark horse, it is possible to expand the popularity and form an influence on the Internet.

Xiangshan Film and Television Base.

Fang Ziheng and Lin Feifei were glued to the bedside, browsing the data table of the top three box office movies in the past few days.

The first place, "Guan Yunchang", was released for 13 days, with a weekly box office of 50.3 million and a total box office of 150.7 million.

The first place "Rio" was released for 31 days, with a weekly box office of 24.7 million and a total box office of 130.8 million.

The third place "A Chinese Ghost Story" was released for 20 days, with a weekly box office of 24.15 million and a total box office of 137.3 million.

Three movies, none of which was a hit.

It seems to have ignited the summer movie market, but it is actually a pioneer and a stepping stone for the summer movie war.

Speaking of which, the female lead in "A Chinese Ghost Story" was originally invited to be Liu Qianqian.

However, the young lady is so high-spirited now that she can't even watch "Xiu Chun Knife", let alone "A Chinese Ghost Story" with Yuzhu in front.

I heard that the producer approached the young lady twice, but she ignored her. Finally, they found Shishi and finally decided on the female lead.

After Bu Bu Jing Xin aired, Shi Shi's fame and status skyrocketed, breaking away from Xiao Liu Qianqian's restrictions, and once had the momentum to catch up with Da Mimi.

Cai Yunong from the Tang Dynasty took advantage of every opportunity, regardless of the quality of resources, and helped Shishi accept several movies, hoping that she could successfully transform into a movie star.

This situation also led to the breakdown of the relationship between Damimi and her teacher, and they ended up not having any contact with each other.

The situation in this life is different. There is a young lady who is suppressing it. Movies that female artists born after 1985 can act in must first pass through her hands.

If the young ladies don’t act, the resources will fall into the hands of the little beauties like Da Mimi, Song Yi, Da Tiantian, and Shi Shi who are catching up behind them.

For example, in "Embroidered Spring Knife", Hao Yi was the first to hand the script to the young lady, and only approached Song Yi after being rejected.

Watched for a while.

Fang Ziheng closed his laptop, hugged Sister Lin's smooth and hot body, and said with a smile: "Zhen Zhun's appeal is still not good enough!"

"It's okay, the total box office should exceed 200 million!" Lin Feifei leaned in his arms obediently and replied with a chuckle.

"It can't be broken, "Guan Yunchang" doesn't have enough stamina!"

Fang Ziheng shook his head with a firm tone.

"Guan Yunchang" exceeded 100 million in the first week, and only 50 million in the second week just in time for the holidays. The box office trend dropped too much.

Once the holidays are over, the single-day box office will only be even lower, with no hope of breaking 200 million.

Fang Ziheng squeezed her palm gently, slid his other hand into the bed, and asked unexpectedly: "Sister, what tricks did you use to get Sun Niangniang to play the leading female role in "Guan Yunchang"."

"Um"

"The chairman of Xinghui Tianji, the film producer, is my college classmate from Nortel."

Lin Feifei took a breath, her elegant and leisurely expression suddenly tightened, and her eyes instantly became blurred and charming.

"It's her!"

Fang Ziheng stopped his fingers and showed a clear expression.

Xinghui Tianji.

A company established in 2009, the boss is named Liang Ting, a woman in her early 30s.

As early as the age of 23, Liang Ting established an advertising company and became the exclusive advertising agency for the 29th and 30th Academy Awards for two consecutive years.

Highly capable and with a decent background.

Jiang Wen spoke highly of Liang Ting, calling her the youngest film operator in the entertainment industry.

There is such a proverb in the film and television circles of later generations.

The male is Mark and the female is Liang Ting. They are two of the youngest producers in the film and television industry.

But with Fang Ziheng in this life, the title of youngest will definitely not fall to these two people.

"Will Sissi come over tomorrow?"

"Yes, what's wrong with tomorrow's flight?"

Just when Fang Ziheng was recalling what works Xinghui Tianji Company had produced in the next few years, the confused Sister Lin suddenly asked him.

Then.

Before he could react, Sister Lin stood up, twisted her waist and straddled him.

After a period of practice, Sister Lin's strength increased rapidly.

After several fights with Fang Ziheng, he was able to remain undefeated for half an hour, and his fighting ability was no weaker than Zeng Li's.

11pm.

Fang Ziheng came out of the bathroom, called the hotel front desk and ordered two late-night snacks, preparing to burn the midnight oil.

May 7th.

"The Secret of the Dragon" resumes production and continues filming.

In the large studio, next to the tombs of the Tang Dynasty kings, the crew set up a desert storm.

More than 20 high-power blowers were placed on the set, divided into four directions: southeast, northwest, and three steps at the front, middle, and back.

"Director, preparations are complete!"

In front of the monitor, Fang Ziheng received reports from various departments, picked up the walkie-talkie and issued instructions loudly.

"Everyone in your place!"

"Actors prepare!"

"Scene 32, first shot once!"

"start!"

Boom boom

Twenty-four blowers are started simultaneously.

In an instant, the temperature in the studio dropped suddenly, and the sky was filled with yellow sand and flying sand and rocks within the field of vision.

Liu Ye, Liu Qianqian and Huang Bo were covered with veils and led their horses staggering forward in the wind and sand.

Behind the three people, a team in different costumes followed closely.

In this plot, the trio accepted an invitation from a major overseas client and went to Lake Baikal to explore the ancient tomb of Genghis Khan.

On the first day after entering Tibet, we encountered a medium-sized sandstorm and almost lost our direction.

"Click, do it again!"

The wind and sand covered their faces, and the actors moved forward with their heads lowered. It was difficult to capture the camera while walking slowly.

"Everyone in your place!"

"Scene 32, first shot twice!"

"start!"

"Liu Ye, you are walking too fast, please slow down."

"Huang Bo, your sunglasses don't fall naturally enough. They should look like they were blown away by the wind and sand."

"Sister Jialing, you didn't let go just now. Remember that you are the leader of the organization behind the scenes who has seen big scenes. What are you afraid of?"

"And you, Liu Qianqian, don't close your eyes when there is wind and sand. You have to squint a little. This can not only cover the sand, but also focus your vision to see the road ahead clearly."

A small storm took more than three hours to shoot, and it took six shots to pass.

According to the plot, after the sandstorm passed, the two groups of people were discovered by a nearby Mongolian tribe and they were taken away from danger.

Everyone came to Qingqing Grassland and saw the vastness of the world.

During the renovation of the Mongolian tribe, a beautiful girl approached the Gold Trio. She claimed to be a descendant of Genghis Khan and knew the situation of Lake Baikal.

The girl's request was simple, she would lead the way and everyone would go together.

In this way, the three parties came to Lake Baikal, and under Hu Bayi's Dragon Searching Technique, they found Genghis Khan's grave buried deep in the lake.

However, these are all follow-up plots, and filming can only begin after the crew arrives at Qinghai Resort and Qinghai Lake.

After checking the footage, Fang Ziheng nodded with satisfaction and waved to the actors.

"Calm it down, work overtime tonight and shoot the 28th scene!"

"Got it, director!"

All the actors said feebly.

"Bah, bah..."

Liu Qianqian took off her veil and spit on the ground.

When Fang Ziheng saw it, he immediately laughed out loud.

The young lady was unkempt, her black hair was stained with fine yellow sand, and her forehead was dirty, which was in sharp contrast with her covered face.

"Hey, look, everyone, Comrade Liu Qianqian spit on the ground without good hygiene. I suggest that she be punished by treating her to a supper tonight."

"I agree, Sissi, I'm hungry!"

Liu Ye was the first to raise his hand, pouring mineral water into his mouth while winking at the others.

Liu Qianqian pursed her lips and threw an angrily look at Fang Ziheng.

so bad!

How could you bully a girl like this?

Hum hum

I won’t take a shower today to let you know what true lack of hygiene means!

Liu Jialing wiped the dust off her face with a wet tissue and lamented: "I can't eat the midnight snack. Now I just want to take a bath and have a good sleep. I'm too tired."

"too tired"

"Director, we are too tired!"

tired!

I have to film even when I’m tired.

After dinner, everyone was still hot when Fang Ziheng rushed to the set.

"Start work, start work!"

"Lighting, photography, props, setting up the scene according to the plan."

"The actors quickly put on their makeup and the camera will start in twenty minutes!"

The days of filming were boring, as I repeated the current scene and performance over and over again until I was satisfied.

At the end of May, "The Secret of the Dragon" completed the first phase of filming and left the Xiangshan Film and Television Base to charter a flight to Qinghai.

During this period, the crew was slightly calm and without any disturbance.

The outside world is turbulent, and the summer war is beginning to spread.

The fourth installment of the Hollywood classic series of movies produced by Disney Pictures, "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" was released on May 20.

With its strong brand effect, it achieved a box office of 145 million in three days, ranking first in the box office this week.

In the North American market, "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" was even more aggressive, winning the championship with $90.15 million.

"Pirates of the Caribbean 4"!

This is the first "pirate" film shot using digital 3D technology, and it has attracted much attention before it was released.

In Fang Ziheng's memory, this movie was released in the mainland market for a total of 30 days and grossed 460 million yuan.

If it were not for the domestic protection month, the total box office would be even higher.

The total global box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" is as high as 1 billion US dollars.

Qinghai Resort Scenic Area Villa, where the filming of "The Secret of the Dragon" was filmed.

A sudden heavy rain disrupted Fang Ziheng's plan to inspect the filming set, and also gave the crew an excuse to repair for two days.

In a luxurious suite on the east side of the fifth floor.

Fang Ziheng sat in front of the computer, listening to the sound of raindrops outside the window, and kept tapping the keyboard with his fingers.

The filming of "The Secret of the Dragon" is on track. As a director, he is much more relaxed. He doesn't need to worry about everything. He only needs to review the shooting plans submitted by various departments of the crew every week.

With extra time, he has also set his sights on next year's projects.

"Great Wall"!

In the previous life, "The Great Wall" was jointly produced by Huaguo Film Co., Ltd., LeTV Pictures, Legendary Pictures, and Universal Pictures.

Directed by Lao Mouzi, it stars Matt Damon, Jing Tian, ​​Pedro Pascal, Willem Dafoe, Andy Lau, and Zhang Hanyu.

The story of the film is set in the Song Dynasty. It tells the story of European mercenary William Garin who, while imprisoned on the Great Wall, discovered that terrifying predatory monsters besieged the giant wall. He decided to join a team of Chinese soldiers. The story of an army of elite warriors fighting against the monster Taotie.

To be honest, setting the background of the story in the Song Dynasty is a stupid operation.

Everyone knows that among the several dynasties in ancient times, the Tang Dynasty was the most powerful and famous dynasty.

The Chinatowns of Chinese people in various countries and regions overseas are enough to illustrate the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.

As a co-production, "The Great Wall" focuses on overseas markets. It does not use the Tang Dynasty as the background of the story, but uses the Song Dynasty. I really don't know who gave the producers the confidence.

The plot of the movie is also nonsense. It’s okay for foreigners to help fight against alien beasts and invaders in the movie, but they can’t take over the role.

Let alone allow foreigners to be saviors!

Wanda Film and Television asked him to cooperate and let him lead the "Great Wall" project.

He, Fang Ziheng, would never direct a crooked movie. Don't even think about it. He made the rules clear to Song Ge from Wanda Pictures as early as the beginning of the cooperation.

With Fang Ziheng's hand speed, lines of jet-black italic text appeared on the laptop file page.

Setting: The background of the story is the middle and early period of the Tang Dynasty. Not long after Taizong Li Shimin passed away, Gaozong Li Zhi came to the throne.

When the emperor first ascended the throne, he was busy coordinating court affairs and neglected the situation on the border for a while.

To the north of the sky, at the forefront of the border, an important town appeared in the ice and snow.

The city is called Tianque!

The majestic pass of Tianque City is the only thoroughfare for the foreign races from the north to enter the territory of the Celestial Dynasty and make offerings to the Celestial Dynasty.

On a dark and stormy night, several wild beasts suddenly went crazy and attacked the villages living outside Tianque City, killing and injuring dozens of villagers.

When the incident was reported to Tianque City, it attracted the attention of officials maintaining public security around the city, who sent scouts out of the city to investigate the situation.

At this time, the defensive army sent by the imperial court and the generals guarding Tianque arrived.

Seven days later, a large number of strange beasts came.

The guarding army had just left, and the army that was changing defense had not yet reached the point of training, and was caught off guard by the alien beasts.

Fortunately, the guarding general who switched defenses was very powerful and well-organized. After careful planning, he finally defeated the alien beast.

One day, the general's daughter took people out of the city to investigate the situation and captured several white-skinned aliens.

"I don't want to indulge anymore, I don't want to drift every second of the day, every night."

The phone rang, and it was a call from deputy director Guo Fan.

Fang Ziheng stopped typing and opened the phone to play speakerphone.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"Director, Dilraba, who plays the role of the Saint of Immortality, is with the crew. She said she brought you a gift."

"I understand, please bring her up."

Dilireba!

Bringing gifts?

It can't be beef jerky.

Fang Ziheng's mouth twitched, he shook his head and continued typing, not really believing in the gift this girl brought.

Reba is a new artist signed by the company. She has just been admitted to the theater and plays the role of the saint of immortality in "The Secret of the Dragon".

The so-called Holy Maiden of Immortality is actually the tomb of Genghis Khan, the second-ranking figure in the lineage who protects it.

The number one person is her mother, known as the goddess, who suddenly disappeared five years ago without a trace.

This role is also played by Di Lieba, who plays two roles, playing both the mother and the daughter.

Although there are not many scenes, it drives the plot in the Emperor's Tomb. It is similar to the character of Yang Baobao in the original version and belongs to the weird side.

ten minutes later.

Fang Ziheng opened the door and saw Dilraba Dilraba, a young actress who became famous in 2017.
