Entertainment, I just like making movies

"Click!"

"Okay, this is over."

In the Tangcheng Palace in Xiangyang, Fang Ziheng sat in front of the monitor and announced the end of work with a small speaker.

In the main hall, rows of performers from the Tang Dynasty government straightened up and walked out of the palace gate talking and laughing.

Today's scene is one of the most famous scenes in the movie.

Tang Gaozong Li Zhi took out the military report from Tianque City and asked the officials how to deal with the crazy beast tide.

Alien beasts besieged Tianque City, and the borders of the Tang Dynasty were unstable.

The ministers were extremely angry after hearing this, and asked His Majesty the Emperor to issue an order for the army to attack to annihilate the beast tide and enhance the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Zhi Qian Kun is in hand, and the Holy Heart is dictatorial. He mobilizes 100,000 elite troops in the pass to support Tianque City. He appoints Xue Rengui as the right-leading general and the governor of Mobei, with full power to deal with the invading beast tide.

The decree of the Tang Dynasty was issued, and Hai Dongqing was used as the military messenger. He flew to the garrison station in Guannei all day and night.

In half a month, one hundred thousand elite soldiers arrived at Tianque City!

This plot mainly shows the determination of the Tang Dynasty and the cohesion of the ministers during the early reign of Emperor Gaozong and Li Zhi.

Orders were issued quickly and the military ordered and prohibited, thus indirectly reflecting the comprehensive national power of the Tang Dynasty at that time.

However, this plot will probably be criticized by historical experts. Historically, Xue Rengui never held the position of governor of Mobei.

Fang Ziheng didn't care so much and filmed according to his own script. Anyway, the tide of exotic beasts came out. It was not a serious historical costume film.

After work.

He did not go to the cafeteria to eat with everyone, but asked Fang Rou to get him a portion and send it to his bedroom.

After dinner, I took a nice hot bath.

Fang Ziheng rested for a while, then slowly came to his desk with a cigarette in his mouth and opened his laptop that was not connected to the Internet.

First, he entered a nine-digit password, dragged his cursor to click on a private folder, and finally clicked on a movie script.

"The Great Cause of Army Building"!

This theme book is the script he prepared for himself this year.

The current filming of "The Great Wall" is Wanda's project and was not what he expected.

After "The Founding of the Party" sold 500 million yuan, Director Han of China Film Group was even more ambitious and gave the script of "The Founding of the Army" to Fang Ziheng in advance.

Let him watch and refine it, and if there are no problems, he will serve as the chief director of the last part of the "Jianguo" trilogy this year.

Due to the queue interruption of "The Great Wall", "The Founding of an Army" was moved to next year.

Fortunately, "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" has been made into two parts. One was released last year and the other this year. The time coincides with each other.

The script of "The Founding of an Army" doesn't have any major problems. It just needs a little refinement and more details.

The only focus is on casting!

At that time, all the big guys were still young people in their early twenties and thirties, in their prime.

Unsurprisingly, when it comes to choosing actors to play the role of Big Boss, there will be more preference for artists of the same age.

If this happens, it will be difficult!

Looking at the entire Chinese film and television industry, there are not many artists who can do the job.

The original version of "The Founding of an Army" was a pity because many actors were not chosen well.

Now that Fang Ziheng has taken over the entire project, to be honest, he is really under a lot of pressure.

Filming is a must. He has long wanted to make a movie with the main theme.

It's a good thing that movies with main themes are selling well. At the very least, it shows that Chinese people like to watch such movies.

If you launch the main theme movie as soon as possible, you can clamp down on imported blockbusters as soon as possible. This is more important than anything else.

Moreover, this life is different from the last one.

The two films "Famous Man" and "Edge of Tomorrow" set a precedent for Chinese martial arts films and science fiction films. Many film and television companies with some ideas and brains have also produced some good similar films in the past two years.

Let’s take Guangxian Media as an example. The two period films they invested in last year had significantly more production funds and film standards than the previous one.

And Wanda Film and Television, under his advice, also began to transform into high-quality films.

The most obvious example is that the bad movie "Warring States" released this year has no sequel.

Big Laowang also puts more attention on the film business. In his words: If you don't make a film, you have to go all out!

There are also three major Internet video platforms that are new to front-line production. There are various signs that the Chinese film and television industry is being subtly affected to varying degrees.

The source of this influence is Fang Ziheng.

As long as his new movie is a hit, whether it's following suit or imitating it, it will set a benchmark for the industry.

People who are interested in the film industry can always find a suitable and favorite type of study.

As for those money-making works, it doesn't matter, the market will take action and teach them to be human beings.

After spending more than an hour, Fang Ziheng checked the refined script one last time. After finding it was OK, he went online and sent "The Founding of an Army" to Director Han via email for him to review.

After Director Han has reviewed it, he has to hand it over to the higher-ups for review. He will then send it back and revise it two or three times. It will take at least two or three months to go back and forth.

It is estimated that it will take until July for the script of "The Founding of an Army" to pass the review, and it will be almost October to prepare for the project.

In October, the filming of "The Great Wall" just happened to be completed, and he could seamlessly accept the important casting task of "The Founding of the Army".

While supervising the post-production special effects of "The Great Wall", I was also selecting suitable candidates for the young version of the boss.

The email was sent, and Fang Ziheng quickly unplugged the network cable.

dong dong

At this time, there was a crisp knock on the door.

Fang Ziheng looked at the time, it was almost nine o'clock, then picked up his phone and walked out of the bedroom.

"Who!"

"It's me. Director, you're done. We invite you to play cards together."

Opening the door, Da Tiantian, with half-dry and half-wet hair and a set of light pink pajamas, looked at him with a smile and asked.

"Which card to play, mahjong or poker?"

"Poker, fifty K!"

As Da Tiantian said, he took out two unopened playing cards from his pajamas.

"You, me, Brother Kun, and Sister Yang Xue."

"Come on, you can make cigarette money again."

Fang Ziheng closed the door with a smile, took the cards from Da Tiantian, and headed towards the entertainment hall at the end of the corridor.

Fifty K!

When he was bored a few days ago, he taught everyone new entertainment games.

Two cards, a card game played by four players.

A family can choose the cards in their hand to find a friend, or they can choose two identical cards to find themselves, and one person can compete with three families.

You can also find separate cards, choose a cooperative friend with true meaning, and play against each other among four people.

The biggest fun of this game is that the selected friend cannot be named and can only be prompted by playing cards.

If the cards are good, play the chosen card as soon as possible to let the person you are looking for understand that they are friends.

If the cards are not good, then catch Mengmeng and deliberately play cards of other suits in advance to let the other two companies be fooled.

There is also a medicine-selling method, where you bomb the person who chooses the cards first, making the other two families mistakenly think that you and him are true friends, causing them to start fighting among themselves.

Playing not only tests your luck but also your card skills.

People who know how to play have endless fun, but people who don't know how to play are often confused and always hit their friends with the wrong cards, making their friends who understand it very angry.

Da Tiantian is considered a relatively smart person, but she has an unstable temperament when playing cards. Once she gets a good hand of cards and has a few bombs in her hand, she will go on a rampage regardless of how many bombs she has. She especially likes to suppress other people's cards.

Once you play, it is easy to make a mistake, and if you play a good card wrong, you will eventually lose.

But this girl is lucky and always gets bombs with five, six, or even seven cards.

Once she draws a bomb with more than five cards, even if she makes a mistake and loses, she doesn't have to pay for it and can actually win money.

A five-card bomb, or a four-card bomb, or a four-card bomb, is a winning prize, and all three parties must pay additional money to the winner.

Da Tiantian is one of those people whose poker skills are sometimes high and sometimes low, and occasionally he has a sudden flash of inspiration and pretends to be a top player.

But the addicted player can always throw a winning bomb at the critical moment and collect a lot of points.

Fang Ziheng, a master of card counting, likes to play with people like Da Tiantian. When they become friends, he can help count cards, and when they become opponents, he can play tricks on her.

After one night, I basically win more and lose less, and I make money every time.

In the entertainment hall, Chen Kun and Yang Xue were already waiting in the small box.

The four people threw the sieve to choose the direction, and everyone took out a large amount of cash from their pockets.

They don't play much, twenty yuan turns fifty, it's purely entertainment.

If two families are imprisoned, or if one party collects two hundred points, it will be fifty, if one party scores more than one hundred points, and one party loses, it will be counted as twenty yuan.

The winnings are doubled, and by analogy, four-card bombs or five-card bombs cost NT$20, and six-card bombs cost NT$50.

The seven-card and eight-card bombs are doubling, and an additional 20 yuan is added for gathering four suits.

Fang Ziheng chose the eastern position, and Da Tiantian attacked him. Yang Xue was the upper hand, and Chen Kun sat on the opposite side.

The four of them officially started fighting!

Fang Ziheng touched the cards and put them on the table in front of him to cover them. He took out his mobile phone and clicked on the text message to browse the box office data list of Chinese movies this week.

Da Tiantian sat upright, with scorching eyes, touching each card and muttering dissatisfiedly.

"Hey, you don't know how to deal with cards. If you choose a friend this time, we will have to wait for you alone."

"Haha, it'll be fine soon."

Fang Ziheng smiled, put down his phone, enlarged the form, picked up the cards and opened the numbers.

Chen Kun and Yang Xue couldn't help laughing when they saw it.

The entire crew, including Da Tiantian, would scold the director at such moments. At other times, everyone would treat his words as an edict.

With the two cards drawn, Fang Ziheng also finished browsing the film market this week.

Starting from mid-April, the domestic film market has become active again.

The most eye-catching movie is undoubtedly "Titanic 3D". This big ship swept the global movie market 14 years ago.

Today, 14 years later, it was converted into 3D and met with the audience again.

After landing in China for the second time, the majesty of the big ship remained the same as before, with 460 million soft sister coins in the first six days, bursting out with unparalleled box office potential.

As of today, April 29, "Titanic 3D" has been in theaters for 20 days, with a total box office of 852 million yuan.

This week, the big ship is still arrogant, with a weekly box office of 114.3 million, crowning the weekly box office champion for three consecutive weeks.

Although it did not break the records of "The Secret of the Dragon" and "Transformers 3", it shocked many people in the industry.

A movie that was made more than ten years ago can actually stir up such a big storm after being recast, which shows the status of Big Ship in the hearts of domestic audiences.

An epoch-making movie with extraordinary power!

Another Hollywood blockbuster, "Battleship" starring Liam Neeson ranked second on the weekly box office list.

It was released for 12 days, with a weekly box office of 85.9 million and a total box office of 208 million yuan.

"Soul Chariot 2: Time for Revenge" ranked third, with a total box office of 41.95 million after 10 days of release.

Damn it!

Three Hollywood movies were on the list, and domestic movies were once again stepped on.

Fang Ziheng turned off the screen of his mobile phone and had no intention of looking at it anymore. He might as well have fun playing cards.

"Plane, three three, three four, three five, do you want it?"

"What are you looking for?" Da Tiantian's eyes narrowed and he asked while picking out the three and five.

5, 10, and K, these three cards are all points, and winning or losing will be calculated later.

Fang Ziheng raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "Two Hearts!"

"I do not want."

Da Tiantian knocked on the table, checked the cards, and then looked at Chen Kun.

Chen Kun opened the cards in his hand, looked at Da Tiantian first, and then looked at Yang Xue, wanting to play but not wanting to.

Finally, when Chen Kun saw the presence of the old god Yang Xue, he was indifferent and said with a solemn expression: "If you don't hit both ends in the middle, it's fifty k!"

"I do not want!"

Yang Xue checked the cards instantly and then glanced at Fang Ziheng.

Fang Ziheng pondered for a while, then made a hesitant expression, and then gritted his teeth and said: "No matter what, the only bomb must be shot out, four A's!"

"The suit wins!"

As soon as the cards came out, Da Tiantian's face changed slightly, and a trace of regret flashed between his eyebrows.

Not only because Fang Ziheng won the prize, but also because the cards in her hand could not afford 4 aces.

Chen Kun paused and looked at the three fives and the fifty K he had played. A total of forty points. Do you want to play or not?

Chen Kun was hesitating. Mac opened the five 2s in his hand. Among the five 2s, there were four black and one diamond, and there was no 2 of hearts.

"don't want!"

Da Tiantian shook his head again, covered the folded cards on the table, picked up the hot coffee brought by the waiter next to him, and while shaking the small spoon, observed the expressions of Chen Kun and Yang Xue.

She doesn't have a 2 of hearts either, no, it should be said that she doesn't have a 2 in her hand.

This time, she and Fang Ziheng were definitely not friends. The 'friends' were Chen Kun and Yang Xue.

Da Tiantian made up his mind, as long as Fang Ziheng plays another card, no matter what comes out, he will catch it if he can, and if he can't, he will explode.

I have a bunch of small bombs in my hand, so I can’t let them go to waste.

"I don't want it either!"

Chen Kun shook his head, gathered the scores together, and pushed them in front of Yang Xue, indicating that it was up to her.

Yang Xue plays cards, so naturally she and Fang Ziheng are not friends. If they don't fight, then needless to say, the situation becomes clear instantly.

Da Tiantian and Chen Kun both looked at Yang Xue, waiting for her decision.

Yang Xue was speechless, what is this?

She opened the playing cards, and there was only one bomb in her hand, and the other cards were all triples that couldn't be connected.

Four Kings!

Tongtianding card, the biggest bomb.

This is the only big bomb in Yang Xue's hand!

Once played, it can not only serve as the winner of the six-card bomb, but also count as a suit prize, which can be stacked up to three prizes in total.

Unfortunately, there are only forty points on the table, so it's not worthwhile to play at this time.

Yang Xue once again looked at the single diamond 2 in her hand, raised a happy smile and released the smoke bomb: "I don't want it, director, you can do it, we are good friends!"

"Yes, good friend, Yang Xue, you are really my good friend!"

Fang Ziheng smiled brightly, and while giving Yang Xue a thumbs up, he spread out the cards and slowly placed them on the table.

"Three jacks, three queens, three kings, no cards!"

Da Tiantian was shocked, pushed Fang Ziheng's cards away, found two 2's of hearts, and said in disbelief: "What, you dare to find yourself and play alone with four aces!"

"Ah, I can't live anymore!"

"My Four Heavenly Kings! They were burned!"

Yang Xue went crazy, throwing out four kingly cards and glaring at Fang Ziheng, wanting to bang her head against the wall.

"I still have five 2's, which are also two awards!"

Chen Kun's mouth twitched and he threw out the five 2's in his hand. He was so angry that his liver hurt.

Just because he let go for a moment, he let Fang Ziheng's four aces be the leader and succeeded in stealing the chicken.

"Give me money, give me money!"

"One person is seventy, and my four aces are the suit prizes!"

Fang Ziheng's eyebrows were full of joy, he took the initiative to collect the cards on the table, shuffled them and prepared to play the second hand again.

Just when the four of them were having a great time, two uninvited guests came to Xiangyang Tangcheng.

Soon, Fang Rou received the news from Hengyu Group, and she hurriedly opened the box door with her assistant director Sang Lin.

"Brother, a guest is coming!"

"Oh, who's coming?"

"Zhang Qiang, CEO of Alibaba Pictures, and Zhao Yanzi, the big flower!"
