Entertainment, I just like making movies

China Film Canteen.

There was laughter and laughter in the small box.

The familiar laughter made many employees passing by to get food couldn't help but stop and look at a young man sitting next to Director Han through the partition glass.

That young figure has carved a niche in the film and television industry in just a few years and has become the target of countless film practitioners.

Some young female employees were overjoyed to see Fang Ziheng, as if they were fans meeting their idols.

If Director Han and Chen Yu hadn't been there, they would have had the courage to open the door and go in.

Inside the box.

After drinking for three rounds, Chen Yu took out a few stapled A4 papers at the direction of Director Han, handed them to Fang Ziheng with a smile and said: "Director Fang, take a look, are there any projects that Hengyu Media is interested in? "

"oh"

Fang Ziheng blinked and took the A4 paper with slight confusion.

what's the situation?

China Film Group actually took the initiative to provide projects to Hengyu. Isn't it always him who provides benefits to China Film Group?

With some curiosity and confusion, Fang Ziheng picked up the paper and quickly scanned it.

"Sweeping Drugs"

"storm"

"Once Upon a Time: Heroes Have Dreams"

"Havoc"

"There will be no future meeting"

"a step far"

"Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains"

"Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage"

The A4 paper was only three pages long, with the plot synopses, director, producer, and starring names of eight movies on it.

Among the eight films, except for the last animated film "Journey to the West: The Return of the Monkey King," all the other projects have investment controllers.

Fang Ziheng was the first to look at this cartoon.

As far as he knew, China Film Group Corporation had already obtained the distribution rights for this film, but the film's production cycle was too long and it involved three or five investors.

Over and over again, the film just kept drying up, and there was no progress for several years.

China Film Group put "The Return of the Great Sage" out, probably because they wanted Hengyu to help.

Fang Ziheng's mind was wandering, and he reached out and scratched lightly under the four words "The Return of the Great Sage" with his fingernail.

Hengyu voted for this film!

As the saying goes, when you feel sleepy, someone will give you a pillow. He was thinking about asking the production department to find Tian Xiaopeng, the director of "The Return of the Great Sage" after the Chinese New Year, but he didn't expect that the movie would be delivered to him on his own initiative.

Interesting, interesting!

Seeing Fang Ziheng's move, Chen Yu raised the corner of his mouth and smiled softly: "Director Fang, these eight movies were selected by China Film Group. Director Han and I are very optimistic about it. If Hengyu is interested, you can choose a few at will." department!"

He is very generous. These movies all have main controllers, and the share of the investment is not large, so why not give it to Hengyu Media.

Chen Yu and Director Han’s idea was just to reciprocate the favor, and at the same time, they aimed at the new projects developed by Hengyu Media next year!

According to Hengyu Media's third-level business disclosure, projects in 2013 were prepared faster than in the previous two years, with four movies and five TV series being launched.

"Detective Chinatown 2"

"People on an embarrassing journey in Hong Kong"

"Sha Po Lang 3"

"Psychological Crime City Lights"

Four movies, the first three are almost certain to be hits.

One is directed and starred by Fang Ziheng, one is directed and starred by Xu Quanquan, and one is directed and starred by Wu Jing.

The last film, "Psychological Crime: City Lights", directed by Wen Muye and starring Deng Chao, also has great box office potential.

The four projects have not been officially approved yet, but they will be soon. I heard that Hengyu Media is looking for filming locations.

Chen Yu still remembers the scenes of China Film and major film and television companies competing for food at the celebration banquets of "The Secret of the Dragon" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" this year.

That guy is so terrible!

Fang Ziheng really treated everyone like pigs, and offered a premium of 1 million or 2 million soft girl coins for every word he spoke. He was not polite at all!

In 2013, China Film must start earlier and cannot fall into passivity like this year.

Chen Yu's thoughts, not to mention Fang Ziheng's, were like a mirror in Lin Feifei's mind, who was eating dishes gracefully and deaf.

It seemed like he was giving benefits to Hengyu, but in fact he was asking about a project from Hengyu!

Concubine Lin's eyes remained motionless as she ate her own food. She believed that Fang Ziheng would make the right decision.

Fang Ziheng put down the A4 paper in his hand, pondered for a few seconds and slowly said: "Director Han, Mr. Chen, let's do this. If you choose one of the films in "Tang Detective 2" and "囧", Hengyu can give 30% of the investment. Share!”

"As a replacement, Hengyu takes over the control of "The Return of the Great Sage"!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Han's eyes lit up and he immediately made a decision before Chen Yu could say anything. He said with a wide smile: "Okay, okay, that's what I said!"

"Director Fang, I saw you right. You are the most moral filmmaker I have ever seen!"

While speaking, Director Han took the initiative to raise his glass, touched it lightly with Fang Ziheng, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

This simple meal at noon today was very satisfying and made him feel happy.

Fang Ziheng is indeed a grateful person!

Chen Yu was also very happy and expressed his joy. He raised his glass and shook it in toast to Fang Ziheng, saying: "Don't worry, Director Fang, if China Film has any good projects in the future, Hengyu Media will definitely not be forgotten. We, one state-owned enterprise and one private enterprise, will work together to handle it." Chinese-language films become bigger and stronger!”

Keep it!

What I was waiting for was Mr. Chen’s words!

Fang Ziheng's breath paused slightly, and his expression became more and more relaxed. One state-owned enterprise and one private enterprise!

Let’s join hands to make Chinese-language movies bigger and stronger!

Hengyu Media has finally caught up, ousting the Huayi brothers from their position of importance at the top, and becoming the number one private player in Chinese-language films!

This default arrangement has many benefits!

Regardless of the apparent policy bias, the review process for projects launched by Hengyu Media in the future will be much more relaxed.

As long as they don't deliberately seek death, Hengyu Media will be as stable as a mountain, which is equivalent to having an extra talisman.

The reason why Huayi Brothers has become a leading company is not only the first listed film and television company.

The biggest reason is that Huayi has been delivering high-quality content to the Chinese film and television industry market since its establishment.

In those years, Huayi ranked first in the entire industry in terms of the number of movies, TV series, and artists it produced.

Lin Feifei, who had been silent, raised her head, put down her chopsticks, smiled at Fang Ziheng, and then gave Han Dong a shot.

"Third brother, I heard what Mr. Chen said, but you can't ignore it!"

"The achievements of Hengyu in the past few years are well known in the industry. Apart from not being listed on the market, the current size is no worse than Huayi, and the development potential and prospects far exceed the three giants Huayi, Guangxian and Bona!"

Sister Lin's words were arrogant, but they were not false at all.

With the rapid construction of Hengyu cinema lines and the development of the four holding companies of Tudou Video, Qidian Chinese Network, Tiantian Dongting, and Tiangong Yicai, more and more energy is fed back to Hengyu Group.

Unconsciously, Hengyu Media completed its overtaking in a corner, and its total valuation surpassed Huayi with a market value of 52 billion in one fell swoop.

After "Tai Chi 2" was released, the box office failure caused Huayi to lose about 2 billion in market value.

Wang Zhongjun has become a little anxious these days. Regardless of his identity, he frequently appears in front of reporters and openly supports "1942".

Wang Zhonglei even went back and forth to deliver the 12-point invitation letter written by his brother to the important guests.

Fang Ziheng received a copy the day before yesterday, saying that he would definitely be there on the day of the premiere and go over to learn how to make a disaster movie with Feng Pengtong.

As for the box office expectations of "1942", everyone knows it!

Although Feng's pants were not flying in this life and he regarded Fang Ziheng as a movie that exceeded the box office target, he was not a god.

At most, like "Tangshan Earthquake", it injects a glimmer of light and hope into the movie and sublimates the theme of the movie.

But the famine essence of "1942" will never change.

The essence remains unchanged, which makes this kind of prototype disaster movie too difficult to control. Even if it is shot to a very high level, it will be difficult for the audience of the new era to resonate and have a sad and satisfying journey.

The reason why "Titanic" became a global hit is essentially because it added a love and romance coloring.

Let an ordinary shipwreck transform into an epic disaster, causing countless young men and women to fall deeply in love with the hero and heroine, thereby ignoring the shipload of lives that will be swallowed up when the disaster strikes.

Compared with the lives of a ship, "1942" is much more tragic!

Too bleak and cruel plot scenes will only make the audience afraid to go to the cinema to watch the movie.

Director Han understood what Sister Lin was referring to, looked kindly, and said cheerfully: "You girl, why don't you believe it? What Chen Yu said is not only what I and the film bureau mean, but also the thoughts from higher ups."

"Really, that's good!"

Concubine Lin smiled beautifully, her bright eyes sparkling, and she looked like a little daughter in front of Dong Han.

It's not that she doesn't believe in Director Han, but the good news comes suddenly.

You know, Hengyu Media was established only a little over four years ago.

It easily surpassed Huayi and snatched the position of the number one private company that is most concerned about film and television cultural companies!

While she was happy, Concubine Lin made up her mind to go home in two days and ask her eldest brother who was the deputy mayor of the imperial capital.

What exactly is going on?

Later, Fang Ziheng named "Unexpected" and won the film project directed by writer Han Han.

The share is not much, only 20%!

This movie is controlled by Bona and distributed together with China Film Group Corporation, with a total box office of over 600 million in its previous life.

The total production budget is 50 million soft girl coins, and it is a hit project with a small amount of money!

Yu Dong's forward-looking vision is beyond words. After "Little Times", he immediately thought of Han Han, who is also a writer, and actively invited him to collaborate.

Fang Ziheng was impressed and prepared to have a chat with Yu Dong to see if he could get involved in the film's distribution.

The total box office is more than 600 million, even if calculated based on the 12% distribution fee, it is a distribution profit of more than 70 million.

If Hengyu can participate in the distribution of the movie, he will get one-third of the profit.

Um..

I think Yu Dong would not refuse.

The remaining four films are "Anti-Drug 1", "The Storm", "Once Upon a Time: Heroes Have Dreams" and "One Step Away".

Fang Ziheng recalled their production costs and profits one after another, and finally chose "The Storm" to participate in the investment.

The share is still 20%. Later, we have to discuss with Anle Film and Television to get the film distribution.

In the previous life, the production cost of "The Storm" was 80 million, and the total box office was 310 million, which was considered a small profit.

The cost of "Anti-Drug 1" was nearly 120 million, and the total box office was less than 240 million. It was a movie that was neither well-received nor popular.

"If it were changed to "Anti-Drug 2", Hengyu would still be interested."

Fang Ziheng secretly laughed in his heart, returned the A4 paper to Chen Yu, and said casually: "Mr. Chen, Hengyu will invest in three movies: "The Storm", "We Will See You Again", and "The Return of the Great Sage"!"

"Director Fang, don't take a closer look. "One Step Away" directed by Jiang Wen is a top project in the industry. It took a lot of effort for China Film to grab 40% of the share and distribution rights!"

Chen Yu was surprised and didn't understand why Fang Ziheng skipped "One Step Away".

It stands to reason that Jiang Min has been in the limelight since "Let the Bullets Fly". Although his projects have long shooting periods and heavy investment, they do not lack investors at all.

Not only Chen Yu was puzzled by Fang Ziheng's move, but Han Dong and Lin Feifei were also confused and looked over.

The three of them couldn't help but guess that there might be a conflict between the two great directors.

What a contradiction!

Fang Ziheng lowered his eyes and picked up the chopsticks to eat.

If he remembers correctly, the total production budget of "One Step Away" is as high as 300 million yuan, and it requires 900 million box office production to make any profit.

900 million!

In the mainland market, there have only been two domestic films with a box office of over 900 million, and both of them were produced by old actors.

Fang Ziheng wanted to shout, "Look at the old paper, do you have any holes in your head? How dare you dare to invest in Jiang Wen's investment "One Step Away".

He didn't say anything, so the three of them stopped gossiping and just pretended that he didn't watch a good movie.

In addition, Chen Yu will not take the initiative to mention "Once Upon a Time: Heroes Have Dreams" and "Havoc in Heaven".

Of these two films, China Film Group is more optimistic, and they are projects led by Deputy Director Kang of the Film Bureau.

The two films already have several investors. China Film Group is both a father and a mother, participating in production and responsible for distribution.

Neither Director Han nor Chen Yu could refute Deputy Bureau Kang's reputation and gave two projects to outsiders.

The reason why it was brought out was because there were enough investors in the film, and Fang Ziheng was so eye-catching that he naturally understood the meaning.

Chen Yu thinks too much.

Fang Ziheng is timid.

Even with his two butts, he didn't dare to invest in the two big bad movies "Once Upon a Time in Heaven" and "Havoc in Heaven".

If China Film produces an annual box office champion like "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", you will see whether it will be eye-catching or not.

No matter what, he will insist on participating in the movie!

………

After lunch, both guests and host had a great time.

Fang Ziheng and Lin Feifei left the China Film and Television Building in a black Maybach.

Lin Feifei looked at Fang Ziheng's wine-red face and said softly: "You drank a lot at noon. Don't go to the company in the afternoon and have a good rest."

"Well, it's up to you."

Fang Ziheng breathed out the breath of alcohol and leaned against Sister Lin.

Lin Feifeijiao glared, put her arm around his body, and patted the driver's seat with the other hand, and said to Zhongxin: "Zhongxin, your brother is drunk, let's not go back to the company first, and go to my house, which is the closest.

"Okay, Director Lin."

Fang Zhongxin glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that Fang Ziheng had already dozed off, so he stepped on the accelerator to increase the speed of the car.

Less than twenty minutes.

The Maybach drove into a community that was 80% new.

After Sister Lin became a billionaire, she purchased a lot of real estate and secretly became a housekeeper.

She also sold her original house and replaced it with a large three-bedroom apartment, which was decorated warmly and comfortably.

Fang Ziheng came here to spend the night several times, and he never wanted to return.

Entered the door.

Concubine Lin walked into a bright and warm bedroom with Fang Ziheng in her arms, and placed him on the big bed: "You go to sleep for a while, and I will put water for you to take a bath."

Just as she was about to turn around, her little hand was grabbed by Fang Ziheng.

"Sister, I'll wash it later!"

With a little effort from him, Concubine Lin leaned over and lay on the little man's chest.

"What are you doing? You're drunk!"

"Who said that."

Fang Ziheng opened his eyes, and a pair of slightly clear eyes appeared instantly.

He only drank three ounces of white wine at noon, which could make him drunk.

Fang Ziheng put his hands around Lin Feifei's slim waist, turned over suddenly, and quickly gained the upper hand.

Uh-huh
