Entertainment, I just like making movies

Chapter 303 The New Year’s Eve of the Melee among the Gods

A rich list stirred up the entire entertainment industry.

Fang Ziheng's success and his new status as a billionaire have brought unlimited hope to the film and television industry.

Almost everyone in the film industry knows that making a movie is very risky, and once the movie is a hit at the box office, the cliffhanger can make a lot of money!

But being able to accumulate such a huge wealth like Fang Ziheng in just four years by making movies is unique in the entire entertainment industry.

The only director who can compare wealth with Fang Ziheng is Brother Cheng Long, who has been famous for decades.

After fifty years in the industry, Brother Cheng Long has gained international fame and earned a huge family fortune with just one movie.

But they earned it through decades of hard work and injuries.

Where is Fang Ziheng!

He is only twenty-five years old!

How far can he go in the future?

Insiders are both envious and sighing.

I envy Fang Ziheng's success and lament Fang Ziheng's awesomeness.

At the same time, countless young people have set great ambitions in their hearts and vowed to make a name for themselves in the film and television industry.

In particular, some young directors, screenwriters, and producers burst out with a strong fighting spirit.

Others can become billionaires, why not them!

………

There are a lot of discussions on the Internet about Fang Ziheng.

Like a normal person, he turned down many interviews one after another and ignored the curiosity of the outside world.

After being reborn, he knew very well that wealth was a double-edged sword. Too little would make him unable to live a comfortable life.

It doesn’t matter if you have too many, you will be remembered all day long!

He seems to have a net worth of tens of billions, and was once on par with the richest people in the country. However, Hengyu Media has just emerged and cannot be compared with the size of the industry controlled by those close to him on the list.

For example, Hang Chengma's assets are only about 3 billion more than Fang Ziheng's, and his ranking is only a few places higher.

But with the capital he has, he can buy ten Hengyu Media.

The two parties are not on the same level in the business field, and it would not be an exaggeration for Fang Ziheng to be hung up and beaten.

At present, Hengyu Media can only be said to be on the right track, with full potential, and is favored by many investment banking companies.

But it is just that in itself. In the commercial field of China, it is at best a rising star company.

Compared with the real top 500 Chinese enterprises, Hengyu is not even a little bit behind, and there is still a long way to go.

Fang Ziheng understood very well that he was not qualified to raise his tail now.

In China, let alone tens of billions, even those with hundreds of billions have to learn to keep a low profile.

Leaving the palace.

Liu Qianqian supported Zeng Li and walked into the living room, doing digestion activities after the meal.

Zeng Li was more than seven months pregnant, and her belly became increasingly pregnant.

She is pregnant at an older age, so she has to pay great attention to post-pregnancy safety protection. Eating well, drinking well, sleeping well and being in a good mood are the basic standards.

Lin Feifei and Andy would come over from time to time to accompany Zeng Li, and the four of them would play mahjong together with Fang Rou.

Fang Rou's mother came over from her hometown in Yuzhang, and mother and daughter were responsible for Zeng Li's daily life, food, and post-pregnancy care.

After walking back and forth in the living room for more than a dozen times, Liu Qianqian helped Zeng Li to sit on the sofa, then squatted down and got close to Zeng Li's belly.

While stroking it with her hands, she listened to the movements of the baby in her belly, blinking her beautiful eyes and saying plausibly: "Baby, you have to be good when you stay in your mother's belly."

"When you are born, Qian's mother will buy you lots of toys and beautiful new clothes."

Fang Ziheng, who went upstairs, immediately laughed when he saw this scene.

The young lady is a bit silly!

The baby is only seven months old, how can he understand what adults are saying.

These days, the young lady is still busy.

It's almost the end of the year, and she has to launch new products due to her endorsements, which requires her to cooperate in shooting new advertisements.

Until yesterday, she had finished most of her work this year and came over to visit Zeng Li for the first time.

Zeng Li stretched out his hand to smooth her hair and said softly: "Sissi, when will the promotion of "Left Ear" start?"

"November 1st, just ten days of rest."

"Well, Sissi will stay with me for two days. I'll call Feifei and the others to come over, so we can have a table together."

"Yeah, you can have this. I haven't played mahjong for a long time, so I must be very lucky."

When it came to playing mahjong, Liu Qianqian became happy, little stars appeared in her dark eyes, and her face was filled with anticipation.

She came to the sofa on the other side, took out her mobile phone from her bag, and said happily: "I have to call Fang Rou and ask her to buy groceries and go to the bank to exchange some cash for me."

“You don’t have to go to the bank to exchange it, you can have it at home.”

Zeng Li spoke with a smile, pointed to the ceiling and said softly: "Go to the study room. Ziheng has prepared a lot of cash in advance. Concubine and the others take it from him every time they come over."

hiss..

Take that guy's money and play mahjong between us women.

This is even more possible!

Anyway, he has money, more than 10 billion!

With a smile on her face, Liu Qianqian nodded, grabbed her phone and walked upstairs. She seemed addicted to mahjong.

In the study room on the second floor.

Fang Ziheng sat in front of a simple desk, nestled in the boss's chair, and really browsed a movie data table on the computer page.

2012, October 15th to October 21st.

A total of 10 movies were released this week, and the most dazzling one was "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".

The movie was released for 24 days and made a box office of 86 million this week, with a total box office of 680 million yuan, completely dominating the National Day period.

His bragging at the movie premiere, saying that the movie's total box office would be at least 700 million, was also revealed by the good guys.

The media claimed that he had a precise vision, grasped the essence of the market, and produced high-quality scripts.

Wu Jing is also regarded as the successor of Chinese Kung Fu films and the flag-bearer of action films in the new era.

Insiders are different. Most people prefer to call Wu Jing Director Wu and praise him for his promotion to a new commercial film director.

Yes.

That's a great director!

If we say that "Slaying the Wolf 2" brought Wu Jing back to the peak of his career, he became a guest of major film and television companies.

Then, "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" took him one step further and completely entered the threshold of a major commercial director.

His fame, status, and box office appeal are increasing day by day, and he has become a hot favorite of Chinese action movies.

It can be said that in the field of action movies, Wu Jing has completely surpassed Zhen Dan, only below Cheng Long and Jet Li.

Even with the blessing of age and director status, the commercial value is several levels higher, faintly equal to the two predecessors Cheng Long and Jet Li.

Perhaps in the hearts of the Chinese people, Cheng Long and Jet Li are international superstars, and no one can rival them in their fame. The other action actors can only look up at their backs from behind.

But in the eyes of capital and major film and television companies, 38-year-old Wu Jing is even more exciting.

The reason is simple: Wu Jing can bring more benefits to capital.

Writing, directing, and acting, he can single-handedly carry a movie that is a hit at the box office.

The box office of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" will soon exceed 700 million. This figure can only be counted on one hand in the entire Chinese film industry.

Fang Ziheng!

Xu Zheng!

Xu!

Ning Hao!

Feng pants!

The movies shot by these five people have all reached a height of more than 600 million to 700 million.

Wu Jing is the sixth director to achieve this achievement.

Of course.

This year Hengyu Media also has Lao Mouzi's "The Chinese Partner" and Hao Yi's "Famous Catchers 2", two more movies with a box office potential of no less than 700 million.

Counting Cheng Long's "Zodiac" and Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", more and more directors will reach the box office level of 700 million or 800 million in the future.

The second place on this week's box office list is a movie co-produced by China and Austria.

"Escape from the Shark's Mouth from the Big Tsunami"!

The film is jointly produced by Guangxian Media and Kunnan Film Group, and directed by Australian director Jimbo Landau.

The movie was released for 9 days.

The weekly box office is 52.5 million, and the total box office is 105 million. Judging from the box office trend, this co-production has the potential to reach 200 million.

Wang Changtian's path is becoming more and more stable now. Last year, he followed Feng Hengyu and produced two period films.

This year, the same trick was repeated and a co-production was made following "The Great Wall" and it was released early.

Seeing this, Fang Ziheng smiled and sent Wang Changtian a text message, asking him when he would hold a celebration banquet for "Big Shark" so that he could bring people there to have a meal.

This week's third place at the box office is a film produced in France and distributed by Hollywood.

"Taken 2" was released for 14 days, with a weekly box office of 30.6 million and a total box office of 101 million.

The movie has no hope of breaking over 200 million yuan, and it is a typical example of being well-received but not a hit!

The fourth place "Total Recall" was released for two days, with a total box office of 31.15 million.

The fifth place "Men Are Like Clothes" was released for 9 days, with a weekly box office of 12.35 million and a total box office of 22.35 million.

The sixth place is a large-scale production controlled by the Hua Yi brothers.

"Tai Chi 1 from scratch\

,"Director Feng Delun, action director Hong Jinbao, screenwriter Chen Guofu, starring Tony Leung Ka Fai, Yuan Xiaochao, Yang Ying, Eddie Peng, Feng Shaofeng, Wu Yanzu and others.

The movie was released at the same time as "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds". This week's box office was less than 10 million, and the total box office was 120 million.

Compared with the previous one, "Tai Chi 1: From Scratch" had a box office revenue of 30 million less, and even the underpants lost money.

Fang Ziheng still remembers that when he took out Hengyu Media's movie schedule, Wang Zhongjun not only pointed out that the release dates of the three movies "1942", "Famous 2" and "Zodiac" were relatively short, he also expressed his thoughts on "Jedi". Not to mention "Survival" or "Tai Chi 1 from Scratch".

Obviously, in Wang Zhongjun's mind, "Tai Chi 1", which brings together popular actors, is no weaker than "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".

At that time, Fang Ziheng happily pretended not to know, just waiting to see Wang Zhongjun's show today.

The total production budget of "Tai Chi 1" exceeded 110 million, which was almost the same as the box office. In terms of box office revenue alone, Huayi had to lose tens of millions.

And this kind of box office ratio, no matter how it is controlled and operated, cannot be explained to shareholders and the secondary market.

As of today, Huayi's share price has evaporated by more than 3 billion, and its total market value has barely remained at around 54 billion.

If Wang Zhongjun had not arranged in advance to suddenly accelerate the promotion of "1942", Huayi's stock price would have fallen even more.

dong dong

At this time, Liu Qianxi knocked on the door and walked in with her little hands behind her back.

Fang Ziheng looked sideways, and just as he was about to speak, he saw her coming to him in a few steps and stretching out her small white hands towards him.

"Give me some red board, I want to play mahjong tonight."

Snapped..

Fang Ziheng slapped the young lady on the palm, then pulled her into his arms and pretended to be evil: "Beauty, you can ask for money, but you have to leave something behind!"

"what?"

Liu Qianxi sat astride his lap, hugged his neck and asked disapprovingly.

"Sissi, do you know what it means to be a novice with a hunched back and an experienced with a hunched waist?"

Fang Ziheng smiled ambiguously, put his left hand around her slim waist, and tapped the knuckles of his right hand gently on the simple desk.

"I've never heard of anything like a rounded back or a waist."

Liu Qianqian glanced at him sideways and moved slightly, with a cute expression asking for knowledge.

It’s okay if you don’t understand.

Teacher Fang likes students who love to learn.

Fang Ziheng smiled, patted Miss Afraid's buttocks, and said softly: "Turn around and I'll teach you."

after an hour.

Liu Qianxi returned to her room. Before leaving, she kicked someone a few times.

Oh, right.

When she left the study room, the young lady was still holding a large stack of red boards, the mahjong books she had gotten in exchange for dancing.

Time passed and November came unknowingly.

The Lunar New Year holiday is getting closer and closer, and the smell of war and smoke is overflowing from major film and television companies and gradually permeating the entertainment industry.

Some media with a keen sense of smell went out one step ahead and interviewed knowledgeable insiders from multiple aspects.

According to Chen Yu, deputy general manager and director of the distribution department of China Film Group Corporation, nearly 30 movies were unveiled in November 2012.

The beginning of the month.

Two films, "Tai Chi 2" and "Chill", were the first to hit the Chinese New Year blockbuster.

Of these two movies, "Tai Chi 2" is under a lot of pressure. Compared to the hip-hop style of "Tai Chi 1", the sequel will return to a traditional martial arts film.

Director Stephen Fung said in an interview that the second part is far more shocking than the first and will definitely not disappoint the audience.

There is no pressure on "Chilling". Both the producer, Anle Film and Television, and the distributor, Hengyu Media, are very optimistic about this police and gangster film with innovative heights and political descriptions.

In the previous life, "Chill" was hailed as the best Hong Kong police film in the decade, and the media and fans gave the film extremely high praise.

The film's cast is also very strong, with Aaron Kwok and Tony Leung Ka-fai starring, and the evergreen king Andy Lau making a cameo appearance.

Luo Jin squeezed out Li Zhiting and became the younger generation of the film together with Peng Yuyan and Wen Yongshan.

By the middle of the month, there are still several potential hits worthy of attention.

Oscar-winning film "A Separation"

International director Li An's new film "Life of Pi".

"2012" was converted into 3D and re-released.

And "The Left Ear", controlled by Hengyu Media and directed by Yu Feihong, starring Liu Qianqian, Zheng Kai, Reba, Li Qin, and Liu Haoran, hit the theaters at about the same time, starting a box office battle together.

Speaking of which, I have to mention this year’s Lunar New Year stalls.

In previous years, the Lunar New Year festival was usually dominated by domestic films. This year, three foreign films were released for the first time.

Especially "Life of Pi," a movie that Li An hailed as his return to Hollywood. It took him three years of hard work and is quite aggressive.

In addition, Huayi's highlight this year is the release of "1942" at the end of November.

This year’s Lunar New Year festival looks like a battle between gods.

Just a few days ago, Feng Pengtang made a bold statement in front of reporters, saying that "1942" is not afraid of any opponent and must be a strong contender for the Lunar New Year championship this year.

The media also loves to interview Feng Pants. Among directors, he is the one with a tough temper and likes to brag.

The more he brags, the more explosive news the media will get.

However, laymen see the excitement, and insiders see the door.

Many people in the film industry understood Feng Pants's interview and knew that he was implicitly declaring war on "Famous 2" and "Zodiac".

This ‘victorious general’ during the Lunar New Year period took to the battlefield with great force, announcing to the world that he was back.

After taking a break for more than half a month, Fang Ziheng also appeared in the public eye for the first time, attending the premiere of "Chilling".

As soon as he came out, he was blocked by reporters!
