Entertainment, I just like making movies

Imperial CPPCC Auditorium.

It is a high-end and classy place in the hearts of Chinese people.

It will be open to the public when there are no major political events. From time to time there will be drama, musical and dance performances, and occasionally film premieres.

After screening started on the 20th, the popularity of "Search for the Dragon" has continued to rise. After five days of screening, coupled with the vigorous promotion of Hengyu Group, it has completely become the most popular movie at the moment.

Such high popularity also made today's premiere ceremony a feast in the entertainment industry, attracting a large number of fans, fans, and media to come to the scene in advance.

"Ma Dan, it's finally premiered. I was so busy working overtime the past few days like my second grandson that I didn't even have time to watch the movie."

"I watched the screening once, and it was a blast!"

"Haha, I watched the screening twice with my girlfriend. I didn't want to come today, but I couldn't handle it. My girlfriend likes Fang Ziheng. She missed the fan meeting, so I can only come with her..."

A buddy said with a stern and helpless tone. As soon as he finished speaking, his true identity was revealed by his girlfriend next to him.

"Shit, don't you want to see Liu Qianqian? You men are all big pigs. You can't walk when you see a beautiful woman."

After hearing this, the male compatriots around him smiled in understanding.

Among the fans and fans present today, there are a few boys who don't like Liu Qianqian's beautiful face.

Some of Fang Ziheng's extremely die-hard fans would complain about the young lady's lack of acting skills every time the movie started filming, which was a drag on the movie.

When the movie came out, when these guys saw Miss Sister's promotional poster, they felt as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood. They went to other people's Weibo and boasted about it, shouting at the top of their lungs that Miss Sister was their wife.

"It's almost four o'clock, why haven't the guests arrived yet?"

"It should be soon. I just saw a convoy arriving."

"Speaking of which, Fang Ziheng is quite interesting. For the premiere of "The Secret of the Dragon" in the auditorium, the tickets are only sold in two grades, 88 and 188, which are much more open than Chen Daren."

"Yes, I bought it just because the ticket price was cheap. Don't you know that my dad took me to see "The Promise" ten years ago, and a VIP seat in the first five rows sold for 1,888 yuan, which is ridiculously expensive!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone nearby laughed.

Especially some older people who have experienced the film market for a few years recalled the grand premiere of "The Promise".

"The Promise" premiered at that time. Not only were the ticket prices sky-high, but the ostentation was also the highest in the history of Chinese-language films.

The red carpet was over 200 meters long, and there were hundreds of tall and powerful dragon and tiger warriors, wearing armor and red robes, holding spears and spears, and their momentum was like a rainbow, acting like the commanders and battalion commanders of the ancient army.

In addition, both sides of the red carpet of "The Promise" were specially decorated with a begonia flower forest made of Juan silk. The flower forest was hung with ink-and-white lanterns, which cost the producer Fang Xiao 200,000 soft sister coins.

In terms of grand ostentation, none of ten Fang Ziheng could beat Chen Daren!

As time passed, night gradually fell.

Two passages were opened at the entrance of the auditorium, one for guests and one for the audience and media.

Under the guidance of the staff, except for some media reporters who wanted to see the guests and were waiting for interviews, thousands of people entered the auditorium in an orderly manner.

At this time, Fang Ziheng and the main creators were still blocked on the street.

In the Imperial Capital in the evening, as soon as you get close to the Third Ring Road, there will be lots of traffic jams.

Fang Ziheng’s medium-sized nanny car.

Liu Ye glanced at the snail-like traffic outside and said worriedly, "We're going to be late."

"It's not a big problem. There's still half a mile to go, so we'll be stuck in traffic for half an hour at most." Huang Bo smoothed the hairspray off his head and said nonchalantly.

The two of them have been in the Imperial Capital for many years and have a clear understanding of the road conditions in the Imperial Capital.

Fang Ziheng opened the car window, lit a cigarette, and said leisurely: "It's okay to block a block. This shows that we are big shots. Aren't big shots all late!"

"Where did you hear that big names are often late?"

Next to him, Liu Qianqian stopped playing the game on her phone, raised her head and gave him a flattering look.

She didn't believe that Fang Ziheng had ever met a celebrity who was late. With his status as a director, who would dare to be late in front of him.

"I don't know anymore!"

Fang Ziheng took a puff of his cigarette, grabbed her mobile phone and clicked on the screen. He said: "When Director Chen's "The Promise" premiered, he and the film's creators were more than an hour late. The media reporters waiting for interviews outside the auditorium It’s all sour.”

Coincidentally, he had the same idea as the movie fans outside the auditorium at this time, and they both thought of the blockbuster "The Promise" that no one had understood in ten years.

Six o'clock in the evening.

After being stuck in traffic for half an hour, the nanny car finally arrived at the auditorium.

The car drove directly into the square and parked in the parking space reserved in advance under the guidance of the security guard.

"Fang Ziheng, Fang Ziheng!"

"Liu Qianqian, I love you!"

"Liu Ye, Liu Ye!"

Before everyone got out of the car, they heard bursts of warm cheers from outside the car. On both sides of the red carpet, countless fans and fans waved light sticks and shouted at the nanny car.

drop..

The automatic door opens.

Fang Ziheng led Liu Qianqian down and stepped onto the bright red carpet with a confident smile.

Media reporters swarmed in, clicking their cameras quickly and slowly.

Liu Ye, Huang Bo, Xia Yu, Liu Jialing, Jiang Shuying, and Wan Zhaolong got off the car immediately.

A group of eight people formed three echelons and walked along the red carpet towards the guest aisle of the auditorium.

On both sides of the red carpet, cheers and screams came one after another, and countless waiting fans waved to their favorite stars.

Most of them were fans of Fang Ziheng and Liu Qianqian, as well as CP fans of the two. They were excited holding up photos of the two in the movie.

The reporters shrank back and followed the crowd's footsteps while pressing the cameras in their hands for free, sending out a series of blazing flashes.

Liu Qianqian was dazzled and subconsciously turned her head to Fang Ziheng's arms.

Fang Ziheng took advantage of the situation and hugged the young lady, raised his hand to help her block the flash in front of her, and led her forward.

This scene made the fans extremely excited.

Especially the CP fans of the two were so happy, waving light sticks and cheering loudly.

"Ouch..."

"Together with!"

"A talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven!"

Of course, there were also fans of the young lady who were dissatisfied and furious, cursing Fang Ziheng in their hearts for taking advantage of the opportunity.

However, they were so angry that they only dared to curse in their hearts or on Fang Ziheng's Weibo.

If they really dared to speak up in person, they wouldn’t even need CP fans to do anything, just the die-hard movie fans present would be able to tear them apart.

Fang Ziheng glanced at some of the angry boys and relaxed his grip slightly, without hugging the young lady too tightly.

Seeing this, the boys gave me a knowing look.

However, before they could relax, the young lady put her other hand up, holding Fang Ziheng's arms with both hands, leaning against him.

Critical hit!

The young lady's actions killed these fans in an instant with a knife. It was as miserable as it could be.

Many boys showed their masks of pain and stared blankly at the smiling Liu Qianqian.

Their goddess, leaning against someone else's arms, was smiling extremely happily and sweetly.

The red carpet was more than 100 meters long, and everyone walked for two minutes.

As soon as we got off the red carpet, the reporters in front of us surrounded everyone, as if they had already discussed it, and they aimed their spears and cannons at people's faces.

This time the reporters didn't ask any tough questions. "The Secret of the Dragon" was screened in advance, and the creators held a number of fan meetings. They had asked all the questions that needed to be asked before.

I am always familiar with the movie box office, first-day box office, and the relationship issues between Fang Ziheng and Liu Qianqian.

Liu Qianqian, Liu Ye, Huang Bo, Xia Yu, Liu Jialing's expectations for the movie, Fang Ziheng's opinions, etc.

"Hello Director Fang, "The Secret of the Dragon" has an investment of over RMB 300 million. It is your first 3D real-life fantasy blockbuster. Today is also the first time your film premiered in the CPPCC Auditorium. In addition to the box office, what is Director Fang's heart? What else can be expected from the movie?”

Fang Ziheng looked at it, took the microphone handed over by a Sina Entertainment reporter, and said confidently: "Since it is a fantasy blockbuster, the first thing that bears the brunt is the box office. I won't go into detail about the total box office, but let's talk about the first day box office.

My expectation for "The Secret of the Dragon" on its first day is to break "Transformers 3" and regain the first-day box office record for Chinese-language films! "

"Director Fang, the box office of "The Secret of the Dragon" is as high as 50 million. If the box office on the first day exceeds 70 million, it will surpass "Transformers 3"."

A reporter from Sina Entertainment got clever and superimposed the screening and first-day box office together.

The other reporters laughed and looked at Fang Ziheng, wanting to hear his true words.

Fang Ziheng flicked the microphone with his finger, raised a finger, and said loudly: "Breaking the record, the box office on the first day cannot be included in the results of the screening.

One hundred million!

The first-day box office of "Quest for the Dragon" in the Mainland market reached 100 million yuan, which is what I expected in my heart! "

He is not afraid of the media calling him crazy. "Transformers 3" is also a special effects blockbuster. It can hit 100 million in the first-day box office in the summer. "The Secret of the Dragon" can naturally also set this goal.

Whether it can be achieved is one thing, but whether you dare to say it is another.

With his current fame, if he doesn't say a few crazy words, the media will think that he is giving up and is afraid of Hollywood blockbusters!

Half a year later, when "Transformers 3" was released, the average film schedule in the national theater market exceeded 55%.

The national average for "The Secret of the Dragon" in the first three days was 50%, with 25% of the remaining half going to "The Year of the Dream" which is still reaping box office results.

"Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" still has nearly 10% of the schedule, and the remaining movies will share the final 15% of the schedule.

The most embarrassing one has to be "The King's Feast".

In order to defeat Fang Ziheng, Lu Chuan put "The King's Feast" ahead of "The Secret of the Dragon" and released it on December 25.

Lu Chuan's abacus was rattling, trying to use the first-mover advantage and the fierce box office offensive to compress the film schedule of "The Secret of the Dragon" in order to vent his hatred for Fang Ziheng.

To this end, he specially approached Wang Zhonglei and the theater directors of Xingmei Group, and asked them to help secure 35% of the national film schedule for the film.

Director Tan from Star Cinema did not give up on Lu Chuan because of "Nanjing Nanjing" and still controlled the investment in "The King's Feast".

Wang Zhonglei was the middleman, and Hua Yixiao made an investment.

When deciding on the film schedule for "The King's Feast", Director Tan made a special call to Fang Ziheng. What he meant was that based on the box office performance in the first three days, the film schedule for "The Secret of the Dragon" would not be reduced for no reason.

Fang Ziheng smiled at that time and said his best wishes to Senior Brother Lu!

The result was the same as in the previous life. "The King's Feast" was released for four days and the total box office was over 30 million. It was a complete failure. It was a disaster!

How confident and arrogant Lu Chuan was before the movie was released, how embarrassed he is now.

"The King's Feast" has a total investment of 100 million. Including publicity and distribution expenses, it will take at least 300 million to recover the capital.

Now let alone 300 million, even 100 million is hard to come by, and Xingmei Group has lost money.

Director Tan blasted in front of Wang Zhonglei, scolding Lu Chuan for not being able to support the wall with mud and not being able to make a movie. It was all bullshit.

Without Fang Ziheng having to say anything, major theater chains across the country sent text messages one after another and adjusted their film schedule immediately, adding 30% of the film schedule of "The King's Feast" to "The Secret of the Dragon".

It can be predicted that as long as the first-day box office of "The Secret of the Dragon" is not too low, and the normal decline of "The Year of the Dream" occurs, the number of movies scheduled will continue to rise.

Due to various reasons, Fang Ziheng naturally had the confidence to claim a first-day box office of 100 million.

The reporters didn't understand the twists and turns, and immediately became excited after hearing his bold words.

With a first-day box office of 100 million, it beat "Transformers 3"!

They like to hear this kind of words the most!

As expected of Fang Ziheng, he is becoming more and more powerful as an international director.

Since "Famous Catchers", no one among mainland directors can rival him at the box office.

Only Fang Ziheng is qualified to hit a first-day box office target of 100 million.

Others, including Lao Mouzi, Feng Tongtong, and Jiang Wen, are all not good enough. It is possible for them to say 50 to 60 million, but they will definitely be laughed at by the media if they say 100 million.

After chatting a few more questions and seeing that the time was almost up, the reporters were satisfied and let Fang Ziheng and others enter the venue.

The infield was packed with people, and everyone stood up and looked at the entrance of the passage.

There is a small group in the center of the hall, all of them are well-known figures in the entertainment industry.

Hua Yi Xiao Wang, Wang Changtian, Yu Dong, Song Ge, Li Ming, Li Shaohong, Zhang Zhao and others all came.

Internet video platform Wang Wei, deputy director and president of Tudou Video, Gu Yong, president of Youku Video, Jia Yueting of LeTV Video, Gong Yu of iQiyi, and Sun Zhong of Tencent Video were all present.

In addition, there is also a lot of entertainment industry.

Qidian Chinese Network Wu Wenhui, Xinlang.com CEO and Weibo Deputy Director Cao Wei, Alibaba Vice President of Strategic Investment Zhang Yun, UC Browser Yu Yongfu, and Sogou Browser CEO Wang Xiaochuan.

Xiao Yang, the person in charge of Tiangong Yicai, Cheng Wu, vice president of Tengxun Interactive Entertainment Group, Liu Ge of Wanda Cinema Line, and Li Mingqi of Baoliwanhe Cinema Line.

China Film Directors Han and Chen Yu, Deputy Directors of the Film Bureau Zhang Hong and Deng Wendi, Yindu Agency Song Dynasty, and Anle Film and Television Jiang Zhiqiang.

Almost all the people who knew something about "The Secret of the Dragon" and were looking forward to it were here.

Fang Ziheng stepped forward quickly and waved hello sincerely: "Director Han, Bureau Zhang, Director Chen, Ms. Deng, Director Song, and Mr. Jiang welcome you."

"Director Fang, let us wait easily!"

Han Dongxu pointed at Fang Ziheng and joked with a smile: "I originally thought that we would have a small movie viewing party like before so that we can take a look. I didn't expect that you ordered the screening in advance, so everyone had to come over to attend the premiere ceremony."

"Ha ha.."

Director Han's words made everyone around him smile kindly.

Not far away, Zhang Yun from Alibaba and Cheng Wu from Tencent Interactive Entertainment hesitated. They wanted to come over to say hello but felt a little abrupt. They were not familiar with Fang Ziheng, and they were even less familiar with Director Han and Director Zhang.

There is always a gap between the Internet circle and the film and television circle.

On the other side, Wang Zhongjun, Wang Changtian, and Yu Dong didn't have so many worries.

Several people strode over directly, with smiles like old acquaintances, and congratulated: "Director Fang, congratulations, "The Secret of the Dragon" has finally been released after a year of preparation and filming. I look forward to a huge box office after the movie is released. One wave after another!”

"The elders are so polite. Thanks to the help of the elders, Ziheng was able to get to where he is today step by step."

The sedan chair was carried by everyone. Fang Ziheng was very considerate and called Wang Zhongjun and others "old brother", acting like a little brother.

There is no way, we are all allies now, and he is the youngest, so he can only be the youngest.

The joyful scene left countless people in the industry confused.

When did the major entertainment giants become so harmonious?

More celebrities and artists now looked at Liu Qianqian, who was the only one following Fang Ziheng and holding his hand.

After Liu Ye, Huang Bo and others entered the venue to greet the leaders, they walked into the backstage first to prepare for speaking on stage later.

The young lady wanted to leave together just now, but before she could let go of Fang Ziheng's arm, he grabbed her hand.

At this time, the young lady's heart was pounding, and a faint blush appeared on her pretty face. She was both happy and worried.

Fang Ziheng tightened her little hand and introduced to everyone with a smile: "Director Han, Bureau Zhang, Director Chen, Ms. Deng, dear brothers, this is my good friend, Miss Liu Qianqian!"

"Haha, Director Fang, I'm afraid it's not as simple as good friends. When are you going to invite everyone to your wedding?"

Chen Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and assisted with a kick, helping the two of them make their relationship public.

He has been to Fang Ziheng's crew many times and is aware of the close relationship between the two. Since he is willing to bring the person in front of everyone, it speaks volumes.

Wang Zhongjun, Wang Changtian, Yu Dong, and Deng Wendi all showed ambiguous smiles and nodded to Liu Qianqian.

The eyes of Director Han and Director Zhang also changed, and their attitude towards Liu Qianqian became much gentler, and they no longer regarded her as a star artist.

Fang Ziheng's move was undoubtedly a signal to everyone, announcing their relationship to the outside world.

good friend!

hey-hey!

This is the first time in three years that Fang Ziheng has publicly acknowledged a female 'good friend' in front of everyone.

If there weren't so many fans and fans today, my best friend might have turned into a girlfriend.
