Entertainment, I just like making movies

The hotel room was filled with smoke.

Fang Ziheng looked at Wang Zhonglei who was sitting opposite, took a breath of smoke and said, "I don't know if Mr. Wang is here today, but what's the matter?"

Damn, this cliffhanger was intentional!

He didn't come early, he didn't come late, but he just slammed the door in front of reporters!

"Director Fang, my elder brother and I have watched "The Unknown" twice in the past few days. We admire your shooting techniques and plot writing very much."

"My eldest brother said at that time that Director Fang's directing ability is no less than any great director, a famous director, and he has a bright future..."

Mr. Wang made a rainbow first, and then got down to the topic: "The Unknown Man has been a success. I wonder what Director Fang has in mind for the second film. We at Huayi have abundant funds and a strong behind-the-scenes team. and omni-channel promotion capabilities.”

"As long as Director Fang is willing, Huayi will give money and people to others, and the investment limit is capped at 50 million!"

"In addition, Director Fang and your Hengyu Media can have a 20% investment share."

After speaking, Mr. Wang changed his sitting position, crossed his legs and waited for Fang Ziheng's answer.

50000000!

A veritable mid-level film investment project!

He didn't believe that Fang Ziheng was indifferent.

Hengyu is a small company, and even if "The Unknown" becomes a hit, they may not dare to ask for 50 million for their next film.

Film is a high-risk industry. Hundreds of film projects are approved across the country every year, and most of them die before they are completed.

Most of the remaining films may not be released even if they are filmed. They can only go abroad to apply for awards, or sell them to lower counties and districts, and secretly play them in underground theaters.

What's more, these movies can only be sold as pirated copies, and they don't make much money, because they are not professional pirates.

Of the hundreds of movies, only about one-fifth makes it to theaters.

Don't think that you can sit back and relax just after being released in theaters. Of the hundreds of movies released every year, 50% lose money and more than 30% make the same amount of money.

Less than 20% of the films that actually make money every year!

The film industry is like thousands of people crossing a single-plank bridge, with investors coming one after another, leaving corpses everywhere in the end.

This is also the reason why after so many years in the entertainment industry, only a few film companies have survived.

If Hengyu Media wants to enter the market, it cannot bypass these film companies.

Ning Hao has a galloping pony behind him, Xu Zheng has caught up with Glossy Media, and even "The Unknown" is endorsed by China Film.

Only when hot money from the Internet enters the market, distribution technology innovates, and many film and television companies spring up, will the current situation be broken in one fell swoop.

Fang Ziheng didn't say anything. He came to the window and opened it to let the smoke dissipate.

A ray of sunlight came in and shone on him.

He turned around and said with a faint smile: "Mr. Wang, the Huayi family has a great business, how could you fall in love with a small director like me?"

"Director Fang is joking. The box office of "The Unknown" will soon exceed 100 million. Who dares to say that you are a young director."

"The Unknown" has been in theaters for 8 days, and its cumulative box office has exceeded 90 million, and is about to break 100 million. As a film director, Fang Ziheng has also become very popular.

There are undercurrents surging among several giants, and they are all trying to contact Fang Ziheng.

Mr. Wang from Huayi is just the first one.

Huayi Company was established early. In addition to specializing in films with one director and one star, it also involves a series of projects such as celebrity management, film and television drama production, film distribution, and theater chains.

As a leading private enterprise in the entertainment industry, Hua Yi has the largest number of directors and actors. Before the Wang Jinhua incident broke out, it could be said that it outperformed the other four entertainment companies.

Even though a number of big-name actors left, Hua Yi did not lose any strength. Instead, he quickly stabilized the situation, reduced his burden, reduced his celebrity brokerage business, and increased his investment in movies and TV dramas.

It can be said that as long as Feng Pants is around, Huayi's fundamentals in movies will hardly be shaken.

Even during the earthquake in Feng Pants, Hua Yi successfully pushed Zhang Hanyu out.

If it weren't for Mr. Wang's over-expansion, his pursuit of film-making, and his use of large sums of money to play real estate, even if the three Internet hooligans entered the scene, Hua Yi would still be firmly among the giants in the entertainment industry.

It’s not that Fang Ziheng looks down on Hua Yi, the problem is that he is not short of money now. Movies, in the final analysis, rely on successful works one after another.

This is the case for Lao Mouzi. Starting from his first movie "Red Sorghum", he climbed to the top step by step and was trusted by countless movie fans.

Even though Lao Mouzi had some difficulties in his later years, movie fans always have expectations for him and think that even if his movies are bad, they are not much worse.

After thinking about it, Fang Ziheng said tactfully: "Mr. Wang, it's too early to talk about new projects now. I'm so busy with publicity that I really don't have the energy."

"I know this. Publicity after the movie is released is the top priority."

Wang Zhonglei echoed and said with a smile: "Director Fang, as far as I know, the production team of "The Unknown" is from Xu Zheng. You don't have a team of your own yet, right?

As a director, having a well-trained, excellent and stable team is the cornerstone of a film's success.

Huayi has a large number of professional production talents. As long as you nod your head, I will build a director team that will be yours. "

Wang Zhonglei saw it very accurately, and he also spoke to Fang Ziheng's heart.

What Hengyu Media lacks most is a professional production team. The company's current shooting team can only support small-cost movies, and cannot handle slightly larger productions.

"I understand Mr. Wang's good intentions. How about we talk about it when "The Unknown" is finished?"

"No problem, it's settled!"

After getting the reply he wanted, Wang Zhonglei left the hotel with a smile on his face.

Looking at his back, Fang Ziheng's eyes flickered and he fell into deep thought.

Horizontal.

The hotel where "Palace" stayed.

Zeng Jia pushed the door open and walked into the room, and saw Yang Xuejian sitting on the sofa, holding a newspaper and having fun.

On the front page of the newspaper, the title of Fang Ziheng and "The Unknown" was written clearly.

"22 years old, the youngest director in film history to have a single film with a box office of over 100 million!"

"Sister Jia, why are you here?"

When Yang Xue turned her head, she was startled and hurriedly hid the newspaper.

"Mimi, do you still have contact with him?"

Zeng Jia rolled his eyes, took the newspaper and asked while reading.

"No, we haven't contacted each other for almost half a year, so we sent two text messages to ask each other what we were doing."

Yang Xue rolled her eyes and spoke aggrievedly.

She kept Fang Ziheng's words in mind and couldn't let outsiders see the clues, especially Rong Xinda's management.

Her contract with Rong Xinda still had two years left, and Fang Ziheng asked her to film a TV series to gain fame first, and then take her back to Hengyu when the time came.

"Really?"

Zeng Jia looked unbelieving, hugging Yang Xuejian's shoulders and staring at her.

Really no contact!

Even after breaking up, I slapped P. At first glance, we were disconnected and the feelings were not over!

However, Zeng Jia did not want to gossip about Yang Xuejian's relationship, and was not prepared to interfere with her and Fang Ziheng's affairs.

The first movie exceeded 100 million, and it was too late for Rong Xinda to win over him, so how could he do such a stupid thing as helping to fight a mandarin duck!

100 million!

Rong Xinda has been involved in film and television dramas over the years, and he has long wanted to get a foot in the movie cake.

There was no way before, no one took them to play!

Now that Fang Ziheng has appeared, it is the best opportunity. The investment in "Palace" has the participation of Hengyu Media. The two parties have a natural cooperative relationship.

For this reason, on the first day of work in the new year, Li Shaohong deliberately adjusted the company's development direction and focused the company's focus on movies this year.

"Mimi, please find a time to make an appointment with Fang Ziheng."

"Ah" Yang Xue was stunned and stared at her big dark eyes.

The young lady's fingers kept stirring, and one could tell at a glance that she was guilty.

"Relax, Mr. Li is looking for Fang Ziheng, just contact him."
