Entertainment, I just like making movies

Chapter 306 Director Han doesn’t give face

Tengxun game!

There is a ceiling in China's gaming field, with more than 800 million users around the world.

In July this year, Tengxun proposed a pan-entertainment strategy.

With forward-looking thinking, Shenchengma has decisively shifted its business resources and operational focus from client games to mobile games.

The purpose of this move is two-fold.

One is to temporarily avoid the two popular client games of Hengyu Media, "League of Legends" and "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds"!

Hengyu Games spent hundreds of millions of dollars to register various copyrights for many games, leaving Tengxun with no huge user base but feeling helpless.

Apart from acquiring and injecting capital into Hengyu Games, Tengxun has no other way to deal with it.

Second, it is also the key to the strategic shift of Tengxun Games.

In the next few years, the pan-entertainment strategy will gradually become Tengxun's new development idea in the field of "Internet + entertainment industry".

In the previous life, Tengxun once again upgraded its cultural and entertainment strategy in 2018, and all its pan-entertainment businesses were upgraded to "new cultural and creative"!

Create entertainment!

Bringing "extraordinary" entertainment and spiritual enjoyment to Tengxun users and the Chinese people.

Others may not understand, but Fang Ziheng knows very well that the so-called "new cultural creation" is just a new term for Teng Xun's monopoly.

Just like Alibaba Entertainment, they are so overbearing!

Based on the eyes of those who were reborn in time, Fang Ziheng knew that Tengxun Games would not let go of the PC game business after the transfer strategy.

The other party's eyes have been staring at Hengyu Games!

As long as there is a slight chance, he will open his bloody mouth and swallow the brand-new opponent of Hengyu Games in one mouthful.

Nanshan Bubai has a great reputation, and Fang Ziheng has to be cautious even if he is in the imperial capital.

Let Hengyu Games report the event to the relevant departments in advance so that there will be no worries.

Steady the path step by step and don't give your opponent the slightest chance!

Fang Ziheng simply gave some general knowledge about Tengxun Games to several generals of the group, picked up the investment list again, and solemnly said: "Everyone, the crazy era of the Internet has officially arrived. New projects are flowing across major tracks, and countless apps have been born.

Hengyu Media's strategic policy has always remained unchanged, giving priority to APP projects related to entertainment. If possible, invest in other industries. It doesn't matter if you can't! "

After hearing this, Lin Feifei, Andy, and Mo Xiangwan nodded repeatedly.

The Internet is vast in scope, almost a network world, and countless industries can be included in it.

Even if Hengyu Media is iron-clad, it is impossible to conquer all these industries, let alone compete with the three gangsters of BAT on these tracks.

Rather than wasting energy and time, it is better to seize the focus of entertainment and enrich Hengyu Media's content business.

Only Liu Minghui was unwilling to do so. After experiencing several benefits, he, the head of Hengyu's strategic investment department, wanted to show off his power in the investment banking field and collide with large domestic investment banks.

It is a pity that Fang Ziheng has never delegated power and has always firmly controlled the investment strategy, so that nothing happened despite his strength.

However, this time Fang Ziheng made an opening and gave the Strategic Investment Department a lot of initiative.

Invest in entertainment first, then other things!

Liu Minghui said that his opportunity has come. As long as he completes the capital injection for the set goals early, he can lead his subordinates to show their skills in other Internet tracks.

As for whether he would be scolded by Fang Ziheng, I guess he wouldn't.

Liu Minghui made up his mind to become the sixth person behind Tengxun, Alibaba and Baidu.

The three gangsters eat meat, so he just needs some soup and water.

After the meeting, Fang Ziheng did not stay in the company longer and asked Fang Zhongxin to send him back to the palace.

Beauty Zeng has also begun to worry about gains and losses these days. She sends him several messages every day, asking him if he can live there.

Fang Rou's mother said that this is a normal phenomenon. Any pregnant woman who is approaching her due date will become dependent on a man.

I wish I could have a man by my side all day long, and be under the eyes of pregnant women all the time.

This situation is also called a sense of security.

Fang Ziheng was a man in two lifetimes and was a father for the first time. He didn't know much about this, so he could only try his best to satisfy the great beauty Zeng.

night.

After putting Zeng Li to sleep, Fang Ziheng went to the study room and turned on the computer to check the movie data of the past few days.

Today's single-day box office champion is "Chill"!

Compared with the first-day box office of 15 million in the previous life, this time "Cold War" is even more outstanding. With the help of Hengyu Media for distribution, it made 22 million at the box office on the first day.

Hengyu Media spent 25 million on publicity and distribution expenses, which is directly proportional to the production cost of the film.

Several TV stations on the Internet, close to Hengyu Media, and major movie theaters across the country spared no effort to promote "Chilling".

For the first time, "Cold War" focuses on the battles and secret battles between the Hong Kong Police Force, the Security Bureau, the Independent Commission Against Corruption and other departments.

In the plot, the infighting among the top police officers of Hong Kong Island was presented in an unexpected way, which really made the mainland audience applaud.

In particular, some of the titles in the movie, such as ‘SDU’, ‘PC’, and ‘CID’, were used in turn, making the audience both exhausted and curious.

Just one day after the movie was released, many fans who were interested in the Hong Kong Island Police Department spontaneously started discussions on the Internet.

The most discussed ones are the various job titles of the police force, as well as the vague conspiracies and undercurrents revealed in the movie.

Leading actor Tony Leung Ka-fai's acting skills are natural, and he vividly portrays the deputy director of the operations department who is calm, sophisticated, ruthless and powerful.

Tony Leung Ka Fai's opposite role, King Kwok, despite trying his best in the movie, still gave the audience a feeling of being suppressed.

"Tai Chi 2 Heroes Rise" ranked second, with a weekly box office of 36.95 million and a total box office of 100 million after 14 days of release.

There are no surprises. The Tai Chi sequel is still not impressive. The total box office is not even 150 million, let alone 200 million.

The fourth place is "The Bourne Supremacy", this Hollywood blockbuster series has little stamina.

It was released for 14 days, with a weekly box office of 32 million and a total box office of 176 million.

If it weren't for the reputation built by the first three films, which attracted a lot of viewers in the first week of its release, the total box office would have been even worse.

The fifth place is "Wreck-It Ralph," a movie produced by Disney, one of the eight giants in Hollywood.

In three days of release, the total box office was only 29.3 million!

Chinese audiences have gradually developed an appetite for watching movies after experiencing several consecutive high-level movies by Fang Ziheng.

We no longer regard Hollywood as the ceiling for movies, but now we have more scrutiny when watching movies. When a movie is released, it will be good if it is good, and we will never let it go if it is not good.

In the past two years, the audience has also lost their thoughts and ideas of criticizing domestic movies and unintentionally praising Hollywood movies.

Starting from July every year, Hengyu Media will release one movie in January, or even two or three movies in January, which greatly meets the movie-watching requirements of Chinese audiences.

It can be said unceremoniously that Fang Ziheng's intention to protect the Chinese film environment is gradually being realized.

The major film and television companies will not have much impact in the short term. It doesn't matter. They start with the audience and movie fans and cultivate their appetite first.

Once the production standards of major film and television companies drop, and Tengxun and Alibaba play tricks, Hengyu Media can, with a little guidance, precipitate the backlash after 2017.

No matter what you say, the works are not good enough, but the old paper just won’t sell!

Of course.

This is just a last resort method to deal with the failure of film and television companies.

Fang Ziheng also hopes that his colleagues will pay more attention to the movies and TV series they produce, and make less works that are poisonous to the audience.

The sixth place "Total Recall" was released for 18 days, with a weekly box office of 8.95 million and a total box office of 103 million.

Another Hollywood movie with no hope of $200 million!

The seventh place is "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", which was released for 42 days, with a weekly box office of 3.6 million and a total box office of 730 million.

Today is also the beginning of the journey of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".

It can be predicted that in the entertainment news section tomorrow and next two days, Wu Jinghe's "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" will be on the hot search list again.

The total box office of 730 million pushed Wu Jing to a new height!

Several times when faced with complimentary interviews from reporters, Wu Jing felt like he was in a dream.

Fang Ziheng recalled that when the movie box office exceeded 700 million, it was funny that Wu Jing called and thanked him.

At that time, Wu Jing's voice was trembling, and he asked him in disbelief if he had really become a major commercial director.

Fang Ziheng told Wu Jing with certainty that yes, he was not only a great director of commercial films, but also one of the few people in the Chinese film and television industry who could sell action films.

November 11th is Singles’ Day.

Fang Ziheng issued an order to strengthen the publicity and distribution of "The Left Ear" and immediately took Lin Feifei to China Film Group.

China Film Director Han called again and said that the "The Founding of an Army" project could no longer be delayed.

China Film Group, in the chairman's office.

Director Han was wearing a black lapel jacket and was sitting on the main seat of the guest sofa with a serious look on his face, showing off his power as a 'senior cadre'.

On both sides of the sofa, Fang Ziheng, Lin Feifei, Chen Yu, and Huang Xinjian each held a document and were discussing the production cost of "The Founding of an Army".

"Director Han, Director Fang, my opinion is still the same as before, don't set a frame and funding for the movie, just shoot it first, and the number will be what you shoot!"

Huang Xinjian put down the budget document in his hand, rubbed his brows and made a quiet sound.

As the film producer of the Founding of the Republic Trilogy, he knows how difficult it is to shoot a film, and he also understands that making money is not the goal.

Good box office and word-of-mouth success are our common goals!

If you want to shoot a main theme movie well and make it exciting, you naturally need to invest more production funds.

Previously, everyone had a preliminary discussion through a video conference and decided to invest 150 million soft sister coins in "The Great Cause of Army Building".

Later, Huang Xinjian felt that it was inappropriate and thought that the main theme movies were different from commercial movies, so it was best not to set a specific investment amount.

Calculate while filming, even if you spend more money, you still have to shoot the movie well.

This idea was supported by Director Han and Chen Yu.

In the minds of the two of them, as long as they can film "The Founding of an Army" well and submit a satisfactory answer to their superiors, it is worth spending more money.

“The budget still needs to be done!”

Fang Ziheng slowly shook his head and put forward a different opinion: "Making a rough budget is the basis for a movie project, and it will be easier to pass the review by the superiors!

After all, "The Founding of an Army" is the last part of a trilogy and involves as many as a dozen parts, so caution is still needed. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Director Han's eyes suddenly condensed, and he changed his words while patting his legs: "Director Fang is right to remind us, we just want to shoot the movie better, but we ignored the superiors' concern for the movie.

Lao Huang, if you don’t make a budget, the movie will probably not pass the review! "

When Dong Han reminded him, Huang Xinjian's expression changed and he reacted.

His ideas are a bit counterintuitive!

The idea of ​​not setting up a financial framework in order to make a good movie is a good one, but it leaves the superiors in doubt and confusion.

Once most departments raise questions, it will be difficult to get the project approved!

Instead of being called back for adjustments when the time comes, it is better to follow the same path as the "Great Cause of Founding the Nation" and "The Great Cause of Building the Party".

It's just a matter of raising the production budget and making an extra budget of tens of millions.

Soon, Huang Xinjian figured out the problem and said with a shameful smile: "Oh, I am getting old and my brain is not flexible anymore. If Director Fang hadn't reminded me, I, Old Huang, would have almost made the mistake."

"Mr. Huang is being too modest. You are not old at all. I think you are as energetic as a young man in his twenties or thirties!"

Fang Ziheng smiled lightly and praised Huang Xinjian.

Little did he know that the other party's proposal seemed to be for the sake of the overall situation, but in fact it contained some selfish motives.

Without him, fight for the permission of the crew!

Once the budget is made and the funds are secured, it will be him, the chief director, who has the final say after the production starts.

Without setting an investment framework and making a specific budget, the funds are just like water without roots. China Film can put them into the crew's account whenever it wants.

As the film producer and deputy chief producer, Huang Xinjian has a great say in this aspect.

Having money or not means he has the final say.

Director Han and Chen Yu are the chief producer and the other chief producer. They usually work a lot, and it is impossible for them to keep an eye on the crew every day.

However, Fang Ziheng is not afraid of Huang Xinjian's tricks.

how to say.

This kind of small trick is just a habit left over from the older generation of filmmakers who have been fighting for authority on the crew for many years.

He invited Concubine Lin to come over. The producer of Dan Gang Film was on guard against this move.

Not to mention that Huang Xinjian served as the supervisor and deputy chief producer of "The Founding of the Army". Even if Chen Yu personally stationed on the crew, he would not dare to default on the production funds.

When Sister Lin shows off her power, who dares not to give her face?

As if she had seen through Fang Ziheng's plan, Sister Lin's beautiful eyes flashed and she glanced at him with a smile.

Tsk tsk

The little man is quite clever. I will reward him tonight.

In the end, a few people finalized the total investment for "The Great Cause of Army Building"!

200 million soft girl coins!

The movie's box office is expected to be at 600 million.

The goal is not to make profits, but to seek the quality and reputation of the film, and most importantly, the satisfaction of the boss.

The project of "The Founding of an Army" was officially approved, reported to the Film Bureau and announced for review.

At the same time, China Film and Hengyu Media opened the casting call and sent out hero posts to the entire entertainment industry, calling for artists with acting skills and artistic ethics to come and audition.

There are many roles in the movie, and many young actors are needed to play the turbulent years of the martyrs' youth.

This time, Fang Ziheng returned to write, direct and act, trying his best to play a great man in "The Founding of the Army".

That great man was his idol growing up.

Being able to play the role in person and touch the great man's turbulent years through the movie is enough to comfort his life and the ancestors of Lao Fang's family.

All right!

Fang Ziheng thought too much.

Director Han treated everyone equally and insisted that everyone should audition.

Even he, the chief director, is not good at it. Only if he fits the role can he win the role of a great man.

Again, no eunuch!
