Entertainment, I just like making movies

"Who are they?"

The murderous voice made the three of them stunned.

Fang Ziheng looked surprised, wondering why Sister Lin was suddenly so strong.

Sister Lin used to be gentle and slow-spoken, but she had never been as strong as she is today.

He knew that in the eyes of second-generation officials like Lin Feifei, no matter how powerful foreign capital was, it was nothing to fear in mainland China.

When you come to China, you have to be coiled up even if you are a dragon, and you have to squat even if you are a tiger.

Let alone New Media Group, Temasek, the parent company behind it, Lin Feifei also has a way to handle it.

However, after being reminded by Lin Feifei, Fang Ziheng also realized that the acquisition should be done sooner rather than later, and it had to be carried out on both sides at the same time.

We cannot give Wang Wei and New Media Group time to have the opportunity to have an affair.

He took a sip of warm water, regained his composure, and said to Andy: "Listen to Sister Lin, on the day of the date with Wang Wei, we will also do some new media!"

"You are the boss, you make the decision!"

Andy smiled lightly, took off his uniform jacket, rolled up his sleeves and walked to the bathroom on the first floor.

Concubine Lin came to the restaurant, tied up her apron, and turned around to urge: "Sissi, you guys go take a shower first, I'll fry two side dishes, and the rice will be ready soon."

"Sister Feifei, thank you for your hard work."

Liu Qianqian's eyebrows lit up and she walked over to hug Sister Lin. She didn't eat anything on the plane and was already cooing with hunger.

Then, the two of them went upstairs carrying two suitcases.

Fang Ziheng took out his laptop to charge, and said to Liu Qianqian who was looking for clothes behind him: "You wash it first, and I'll take a look at the box office in June."

"Hurry up, Sister Feifei has made your favorite fried noodles and braised pork."

"It'll be ready soon."

Fang Ziheng slapped the young lady on the butt, walked out of the bedroom under her charming eyes, and went to the study next door.

This year's summer season has begun. Faced with the onslaught of Hollywood movies, the Chinese-language movies released at the beginning of the month can only parry and have no power to fight back.

On the movie ranking list, the top four foreign movies are all blockbusters produced by Hollywood.

The first place "Kung Fu Panda 2" was released for 16 days, with a weekly box office of 129 million and a total box office of 473.6 million.

The second place "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" was released for 24 days, with a weekly box office of 59 million and a total box office of 429.8 million.

The third place "Fast and Furious 5" was released for 32 days, with a weekly box office of 26.4 million and a total box office of 234.8 million.

The fourth place "Skyrim" was released for 10 days, with a weekly box office of 24.5 million and a total box office of 40.95 million.

Among them, "Kung Fu Panda 2" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" were the strongest, with the total box office of each film exceeding 400 million.

"Kung Fu Panda 2" is even very hopeful to break 500 million!

It can be seen from the list alone that this year's summer season will be difficult.

Some experts and scholars stood up and started blasting, boycotting this and that. The reason is that China’s film system is too weak.

In the early years when the film market didn't take off, there was never any protection. Everyone was miserable, losing money and making money.

Not to mention Hollywood movies, it’s not easy for anyone to watch. People prefer to watch pirated CDs.

Things are different now. China's film market is growing rapidly, and this year's total annual box office is expected to exceed last year's 13 billion.

Such a big cake, but now it has to give a big piece to Hollywood, no one will feel aggrieved after watching it.

But I was aggrieved and aggrieved, but there was nothing I could do about it.

The rules have long been set. If China wants to join the WTO and accelerate economic development, it must pay some price.

Allowing the import of Hollywood movies is one of the prices!

The world is never fair!

Fang Ziheng shook his head and clicked on Weibo and several entertainment websites.

really

Some filmmakers have already issued a letter calling on Chinese-language films to unite closely to fight against the intrusion of Hollywood films.

The media also calmed down at this time. In addition to a few entertainment websites that had been kneeling for a long time to support Hollywood movies, many more frequently issued warnings, reminding China Film and major film and television companies to find the right time to end the situation and not to be fooled by Hollywood movies. flipped.

Under Fang Ziheng's Weibo, many fans also spoke, asking about the progress of "The Secret of the Dragon" and asking Hengyu Media when other movies will be released and whether it can resist Hollywood head-on.

Fans are overthinking this!

The whole of June was originally a separate release schedule specially given to Hollywood by the film bureau in order to protect July and August.

Unless major film and television companies are kicked in the head, they will schedule their own movies to be released at the beginning of the month.

After watching for a while, he lost interest and went downstairs to eat while feeling his stomach.

Lin Feifei's cooking skills have always been his favorite. Even if he was not very hungry, he still cooked two bowls of white rice.

On the table.

Fang Ziheng put down his chopsticks, and Concubine Lin served him another large bowl of turtle soup with a smile on her face.

Previously, the crew of "The Secret of the Dragon" moved to Qinghai for filming. She did not follow the crew, but returned to the imperial capital to handle company affairs.

After not seeing each other for half a month, she naturally missed the little man very much.

she thinks

Fang Ziheng also wanted to...

"Sissi, are you going back tonight?"

"Well, the nanny van will pick me up later!"

"Then you go back and go to bed early, and we'll fly to Magic City together the day after tomorrow!"

Half an hour later.

Liu Qianqian's nanny car arrived, and Liu's mother came to pick her up in person.

night.

Andy was sleeping downstairs, tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep.

The coquettish voice faintly coming from upstairs made her heart feel hot, and she couldn't help but step up and kick her legs harder.

"Bah, Concubine is such a prodigal!"

"She also said she would be the introducer for me and the little man, but she didn't expect that she would eat it herself first."

The morning of the 15th.

After resting at home for a day, Fang Ziheng came to Hengyu Media early in the morning.

In the company's large conference room, executives from various departments have already received orders and are in place.

"Good morning, everyone. Thank you for your hard work during this time."

Fang Ziheng walked into the conference room quickly with a friendly smile, waving to say hello to his subordinates whom he hadn't seen for many days.

"Hello, Mr. Fang!"

"Good morning, Mr. Fang!"

Everyone stood up and responded quickly, as neatly as they had practiced.

Fang Ziheng glanced at Andy, who was sitting on the right side of the conference table, and was secretly amused. Ice Beauty can train so many executives into obedience.

She is indeed a strong professional woman who has returned from overseas!

Stepping to the boss's seat, Fang Ziheng put his hands down, supported the table and looked around, saying: "Today's meeting is very long. Let's come one by one to report on the progress of the company's projects this year."

As he said that, he slowly sat down and leaned on the boss's chair.

Seeing this, Concubine Lin, who was sitting on his left, nodded to Andy and asked her to preside over the meeting.

Andy's eyes narrowed, and he stretched out his hand calmly and pointed at the film and television production department: "Director Li, let's start with your department."

"OK!"

Li Xiaoshu, the director of the film and television production department, nodded and stood up, picked up a few documents and came to the front of the conference table, and skillfully opened the multimedia on the wall.

"The filming of "Detective Chinatown: Punishment" is almost complete. It is expected to be completed next month. The production budget is 25 million, and there will be a total of twenty-two episodes. It has not exceeded the standard."

The preliminary preparations for "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" are complete and can be started at any time. This drama has some war scenes from the Tang Dynasty, and the special effects company is overwhelmed. Our film and television department has decided to move the drama to next year. "

"One-third of the filming of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Ancient City" has been completed. It is expected to be completed in September and will be broadcast in November. This will pave the way for the promotion of "The Secret of the Dragon". Currently, many satellite TV stations are interested in this drama. interest."

"The filming of "Ode to Joy 2" has been completed and is being edited. It is scheduled to be broadcast in early August. Shanghai TV and Shonan TV have the highest bids, offering 3 million for an episode!"

3000000!

Fang Ziheng recalled the price of "Ode to Joy 1", which cost 30 million and sold 2.4 million episodes.

More than a year later, the price increased to 3 million.

not bad!

He nodded, indicating Li Xiaoshu to continue.

Time passed little by little.

Each department in Hengyu was responsible for a stall and made detailed reports to Fang Ziheng.

The most eye-catching among them are the two phenomenal variety shows "Run, Brother" and "The Voice of China".

"Run, Brother" has completed the recording of the first four episodes and will be broadcast three days later on June 18. Judging from the advertisements and sponsorships submitted by the variety show department, the revenue is absolutely overwhelming.

"The Voice of China" will succeed "Run, Brother". East Zhejiang Satellite TV has just started national auditions and is not expected to start broadcasting until mid-July.

Originally, the beautiful young woman Yu Xingying of East Zhejiang Satellite TV was planning to slow down and produce the film in batches once a year.

Fang Ziheng did not agree, saying that there are two weekends in a week, so he could play "Run, Brother" on Saturday and "The Voice of China" on Sunday.

He seduce Yu Xingying, saying that Hunan Satellite TV has two major hosting teams, firmly occupying the 8 o'clock slot on Saturdays and Sundays. If Zhejiang Satellite TV wants to break out of the tight encirclement, it must spend a lot of money, and a two-track attack will be effective.

Yu Hangying is indeed courageous and agreed after a little thought!

In addition to the two variety shows, "Manslaughter 1" controlled by Hengyu wrapped up yesterday. Wen Muye will lead the team back tomorrow and officially join the summer war.

At the meeting, Ning You, director of the publicity department, raised his hand and asked a question.

"Mr. Fang, "Manslaughter 1" entered the scene alone. Faced with the encirclement and suppression of many movies, I am worried that the publicity cannot keep up."

After saying that, she looked at Lin Feifei, who had a calm expression, and her eyes were self-evident.

If the publicity can’t keep up, what should we do?

Of course, it's a big deal, please ask the satellite TV evening news to take action.

Without waiting for Sister Lin's response, Fang Ziheng directly refused, waving his hand and saying: "The evening news on satellite TV is our Hengyu's promotional trump card. We can do it if we can, even if it increases the publicity and distribution costs of "Manslaughter 1"."

"Don't worry, everyone. I have researched movies to be released in July. In addition to "Overheard 2", "Transformers 3", "Martial Arts" and "Harry Potter" are different types from "Manslaughter 1". ,Has little effect!

Besides, the release dates of several movies are several days apart, so there is no way to distinguish the number of films scheduled for "Manslaughter 1". "

Has little effect?

Ning You pursed her lips and stared in astonishment.

The other executives in the conference room were also stunned for a moment, showing a look of disbelief.

"Martial Arts"!

Directed by the great director Chen Kexin and starring the new generation of kung fu superstar Donnie Yen, the two jointly created a martial arts blockbuster.

"Overheard 2" is called the sequel to the rescue film by the Hong Kong media. Three first-line actors with wide national coverage, including Goo Jai, Lau Hing-wan and Ng Yen-zu, have joined the cast.

"Harry Potter" is the basis of the world's best-selling novel and a serious Hollywood classic movie series.

There is also "Transformers", this popcorn blockbuster.

No matter how you look at these four movies, they are all strong rivals, and they obviously crush "Manslaughter 1".

Now Fang Ziheng told them, don't panic, the impact will not be big.

How could you not panic!

Everyone couldn't laugh or cry in their hearts, but they had to choose to believe it.

After all, their boss is the youngest commercial director in China, and his vision of movies exceeds theirs.

Fortunately, the investment in "Manslaughter 1" was only 30 million. With Fang Ziheng's name as producer, he would not lose money no matter what.

Thinking this way, everyone felt a lot more comfortable.

"Okay, all departments are preparing in advance. The release date of "Manslaughter 1" is scheduled for July 25."

"The publicity fee is 30 million, matched one-to-one!"

Fang Ziheng checked the time, and regardless of whether everyone agreed or not, stood up and made the final decision, ending the morning's meeting.

afternoon.

Fang Ziheng, Liu Qianqian, Lin Feifei, and Zeng Li boarded the plane and flew to Magic City.

The Magic City International Film Festival was opening, and an invitation was sent to him. He had to go there to support it and see if he could win some awards.

The Magic City Film Festival is the most generous award among all film festivals in mainland China.

Not short of money!

As the only international A-class film festival in China, both the Propaganda Department, Optoelectronics and the Shanghai Municipal Government want to make it bigger and stronger, to glory and to the world.

Moreover, all three have been taking action.

At five o'clock in the evening, Fang Ziheng and four others arrived at the Magic City Grand Theater.

The scene was very lively, and most of the people in the entertainment industry came.

The red carpet waiting area outside the theater is divided into several circles, including top movie stars, first-tier film and television stars, second-tier and third-tier starlets, and famous directors.

Chen Daren, Feng Pengtong, Wu Baige, Ning Hao, all came.

As soon as he saw them, Fang Ziheng felt very friendly, leaving the three beauties behind and greeted them with a smile.

"Director Chen, Director Wu, Director Feng, Brother Hao, long time no see!"

"It's Director Fang. I thought I couldn't get away from filming "The Secret of the Dragon" and wouldn't be able to come!"

Feng Pong's eyes flashed, he smiled and stretched out his hand to shake his hand.

"As for Director Feng, it's an international film festival. No matter how busy you are, you have to come and experience it."

Fang Ziheng smiled faintly, shook hands, and looked at a large group of foreigners in suits and ties not far away.

There, Li An stood among the foreigners like stars holding the moon, accepting their flattery.

Feng Tongtong noticed his gaze, looked over, and sighed with a bit of ridicule: "He is an international director, and we can't reach him!"

"What Director Feng said is wrong. Zi Heng's two films have sold well all over the world. Can't he be called a great international director?"

Ning Hao came over and asked a strange question, which made several people who were listening were stunned.

This guy was trying to bully Wu Baige. The two of them were cooperating with Pony Galloping, so there was some conflict.

Feng Pengtai was the first to react. His eyes lit up, he grinned and smiled louder: "Haha, Director Ning is right. Director Fang is now a real international director, no worse than some people!"

As soon as these words came out, Wu Baige's eyelids jumped sharply, and his kind expression changed instantly.

He looked at Ning Hao and Feng's pants, glanced at Fang Ziheng coldly, snorted and turned away.

Damn it, there is no point in glaring at me.

It’s not like I’m running against you!

Fang Ziheng's mouth twitched, he slapped Ning Hao on the shoulder.

Damn it.

This bastard actually used him as a knife to stab people. He really didn't deserve to be a son of a man. It was so bad.

Wu Baige's eyes were extremely cold, and he obviously had a grudge against him, plus the publicity grudges for "Red Cliff 2".

The feud between the two of them has finally come to an end.
