Entertainment, I just like making movies

"I'm not the god of medicine"!

The previous life was probably shot in March 2017 and released in July 2018.

It took more than a year, with several draft changes in between. It was not easy to successfully release the film, which required the right people, right people, and the right time.

As early as when Fang Ziheng traveled back in time and determined to return to the path of directing, this movie became a must-make.

He had written the script a long time ago and had been waiting for the opportunity.

Movies with realistic themes, due to their particularity, are often related to the relevant social environment and policies from above.

Since last year, relevant departments have begun to carry out medical reforms, and many special drugs have been included in the scope of medical insurance.

Although there is no ‘Indian Gleevec’ among these drugs, judging from social trends, it will be a matter of time.

As early as 2007, Indo-Gleevec entered China and became a life-saving straw for countless leukemia patients.

The reason why Fang Ziheng wanted to film "I'm Not the God of Medicine" in advance is because the time is now ripe.

On the other hand, I naturally want to use my influence to help these leukemia patients do something.

In his view, as long as the movie can slightly speed up the inclusion of Gleevec in medical insurance after the movie is released, this will be enough.

Of course.

Fang Ziheng knows very well that it is not easy to change certain social status quo with a movie.

Only when the influence of the movie is unprecedentedly powerful and people from all walks of life and professions in the whole society know about the movie, can it be possible to discuss the theme of the movie and set off a frenzy of public opinion.

If you want a movie to set off a frenzy of public opinion, you must first make the movie's box office and reputation reach a certain height.

The huge group of moviegoers is the important cornerstone for the movie to trigger widespread discussion.

With Fang Ziheng's current appeal and the size of Hengyu Media, he can already set up a stage for "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

………

In the office.

Fumino was extremely excited and carefully read the 20,000-word summary of the story. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

He clutched the A4 paper tightly and looked at Fang Ziheng who had a calm expression with unclear meaning.

"Director, can this movie really pass the review?"

Fang Ziheng raised a provocative smile and said lightly: "Don't worry about passing the trial. I just want to ask you, do you dare to shoot?"

"dare!"

"Of course I dare to take pictures!"

Wen Mino's face straightened up and he answered loudly. His mood that had not yet calmed down was suddenly lifted up again.

Just take pictures if you dare!

Fang Ziheng nodded, pointed to the chair in front of the desk for him to sit down, and warned: "In this way, you will ask the literary editorial department to expand the notebook in the past few days. Remember, don't write a detailed script first, just use simple and unpretentious language. Write a touching story of 100,000 words."

"Then what?"

"Then you came to be my assistant director. Next year I have to shoot two films, "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" and "Tang Detective II". I'm very busy."

"What? What about this movie?"

Wen Muye was dumbfounded, his eyes widened, and he almost choked to death from Fang Ziheng's matter-of-fact tone.

"You're so anxious!"

Fang Ziheng glanced at him, pointed at the A4 paper in his hand and cursed: "I want you to be the assistant director to give you a chance to show your face. This film must involve the China Film Group and let Director Han be the chief producer!"

"I heard that you recently hooked up with a junior girl at film school. Her surname is Han?"

"Yes, my name is Han Jianu."

Wen Muye looked stunned. The thief leaned his head and asked softly: "Director, does she know Director Han?"

Ah..

More than just acquaintance!

Fang Ziheng sneered and was too lazy to pay attention to this guy.

Why are you trying to hook up with someone else’s daughter and ask them what their relationship is?

Whatever.

You can tell Director Han yourself when the time comes.

"Okay, you go and do your work first."

He waved his hand and issued an order to expel Wen Muye, who was in a state of confusion.

When Wen Muye saw him chasing people away, he could only hold on to the outline of the story of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" and turned around one step at a time to leave with a head full of questions.

Time passed and it was the end of December before I knew it.

This week, the weekly champion of the film market is still "Zodiac".

After 11 days of release, the total box office exceeded 500 million, becoming the second movie with a potential of over 1 billion this year.

This week's second place is "The Four Famous Catchers 2".

It was released for 22 days, with a weekly box office of 130 million, and a total box office of over 1.1 billion, making it once again the darling of the media.

Hengyu Media Group has created the third movie with a box office of over 1 billion, once again defending its title as the Lunar New Year champion this year.

Judging from the box office trend, the movie still has a box office of close to 12 million every day, and there is a great hope of exceeding 1.2 billion.

The media directly praised Hengyu Media for catching all the Lunar New Year shows and officially surpassing Huayi to become the number one player in the Chinese film and television industry.

The group's influence and valuation have increased again, completely widening the distance from the other three giants.

Hao Yi, the director of "Famous Catchers", has also become a popular figure in major film and television companies.

According to the information received by Fang Ziheng alone, more than 30 film and television companies have contacted Hao Yi privately.

Huayi Brothers, Guangxian Media, Bona, Alibaba Pictures, Tengxun Pictures, Galloping Pony.

Except for Wanda Film and Television because "The Great Wall" has not yet been released, other well-known companies have extended an olive branch to Hao Yi.

Fang Ziheng understands the envy and jealousy of his colleagues. If it were him, he would definitely try his best to poach people.

He is calm and generous.

A phone call summoned Hao Yi to the office. In addition to giving the director a share of 15% of the mainland box office net profit, he also presented a cash check of 18 million yuan.

Without him, if you have money, make money together!

Fang Ziheng made it clear when he signed the director contract with them.

For movies produced by Hengyu, if the script is produced by the group, the director can enjoy a director's dividend of 5% to 20%.

If they bring their own scripts, Five Elements Directing Company can also participate in the investment, and they can own up to 30% of the project including the director's dividends.

The cash check given by Fang Ziheng is not included in the calculation and belongs to the category of rewards.

Hengyu Media has formulated a detailed director dividend system.

If the box office is less than 500 million, you can enjoy a 5% director's dividend.

With a box office of 500 million to 800 million, you can enjoy a 10% director's dividend.

If the movie's box office exceeds 1 billion, you can enjoy a 15% director's dividend.

If it exceeds 2 billion, it will be incredible, and the director's dividend will soar to 20%.

Hao Yi did not invest a penny in "Famous Catchers 2". If the director's dividend is calculated based on the total box office, he can enjoy 15% of the net profit.

At this point, in the entire Hengyu Media Group, Fang Ziheng's director has the highest salary.

He writes and directs himself, so he does not calculate the net profit income, but enjoys the net box office split.

In other words, after deducting film funds, taxes, and theater income, priority should be given to him as a director.

Publicity, producers, and investors have to come last.

Hao Yi and others can only get dividends from the net profits of the producers and investors, and they have to give priority to deducting the publicity and distribution accounts.

As a rule in the film industry, the publicity and distribution companies share the accounts first, and the producers share the accounts last.

Except for two popular works this week, the other movies released during the same period were quite different.

"National Security 1" directed by Fumiki Ye ranked third, with a weekly box office of 78 million and a total box office of 360 million.

Seriously speaking, this movie is a small test. The first one is just to test the potential of the spy movie theme in China.

At the beginning of the film project, Fang Ziheng, Baoli Group and Guangxian Media made a decision.

As long as the box office exceeds 400 million, the three companies will continue to develop the second part and make the scene bigger.

Anyway, with the endorsement of the Paul Li Group, there is no need to worry about whether it will pass the review, so just expand the types of films in the mainland market.

December 29th.

Hengyu Media held a premiere ceremony for "Partners in China", taking the already popular Lunar New Year show to the next level.

For Lao Mouzi's movies, the premiere venue must be of high standard. If the standard is too low, the media and fans will scold him.

Hengyu chose the CPPCC Auditorium.

As for this year’s Great Hall of the People, it’s reserved for “The Great Wall,” which will be released next month.

Starting from four o'clock in the afternoon, the CPPCC Auditorium gradually became lively. In addition to the invited people from the entertainment industry, the crew specially invited 200 students from Imperial University to watch the movie together.

This was Fang Ziheng's idea. He said that Yu Minhong, the prototype character of "Partners in China", graduated from Royal Capital University. Inviting his junior students to watch the movie would be a positive publicity for the movie.

In fact, it is exactly what Fang Ziheng said.

The media reporters who had already arrived immediately focused their attention on the students arriving by bus.

Tengxun Entertainment sent a beautiful reporter named Zhang, with a pair of slightly intellectual glasses, good looks and extraordinary temperament.

The beauty surnamed Zhang held up the microphone, stretched out her slender arms to stop several male classmates, and smiled sweetly: "Hello, classmates, I am a reporter from Tengxun Entertainment. Can I interview you for a few questions?"

"Yes... of course."

The three male classmates paused, their eyes lit up when they saw the beautiful woman in front of them, and they agreed instantly.

The young lady is so beautiful!

I'll see if I can get my contact information later.

The three of them showed a tacit understanding with a smile that all men would understand.

The beauty named Zhang was very satisfied with her charm and asked with a smile: "How old are you in school? Are you a fan of director Zhang Yimou or director Fang Ziheng?"

As soon as the beauty opened her mouth, it was a little trap.

Fortunately, the three male classmates all have high IQs and were not fooled at all. They responded with a grin: "We are sophomore students, and both Lao Mouzi and Fang Ziheng are our favorite directors. We are here today just for them." , I look forward to them joining forces to make a wonderful movie."

"Yes, Lao Mouzi and Fang Ziheng are my favorite directors."

"Yes, I believe they can work miracles."

Standard's speech was somewhat like a movie fan's, which made the beauty named Zhang frustrated.

She flipped her hair, blinked and asked again: "The movie's promotional trailer said that this is a film that reflects the struggle history of college students to start their own businesses, and the prototype character is still your senior brother.

I would like to ask the three of you, what are your views on college students' entrepreneurship? Has the theme of the movie given you any inspiration or ideas? "

Enlightenment!

idea!

Young lady, are you going to Gaodashang?

no

We brothers just skipped school and went out to watch a movie. There is no need to go online like this!

The corners of the mouths of the three boys twitched, and they complained in their hearts.

Nima

It is said that beautiful women have big breasts and are helpless. Why is the beautiful young lady in front of me so difficult to deal with?

Complaints are complaints, the three boys have always maintained the quality of higher education institutions for the sake of the beauty.

He didn't hesitate at all when faced with questions and answered them in a serious manner.

“As reform and opening up enters a new era, China’s economy is growing rapidly, and all walks of life are blooming. College student entrepreneurship is no longer a new topic. I personally strongly support college student entrepreneurship.

Regardless of whether starting a business is successful or not, it is a very good way to exercise for college students who have just left school. "

“The theme and time point of the movie is the 1980s, which was at the beginning of reform and opening up.

The arduous journey of starting a business for college students can allow us young people to more intuitively feel the difficulty of that era, and let us know that any success is never achieved in one go, but only through hard work and hard work."

A campus-style speech came out of the mouth of a male classmate without even thinking about it. The beauty named Zhang was dumbfounded and secretly sighed that she was indeed a top student of Imperial University.

This reaction is even better than her waist strength!

The same scene was going on in the Square Mountain outside the auditorium. The media reporters seemed to have identified the students who could break the hot topics, and they kept attracting 200 students.

Five o'clock exactly.

Luxury cars arrived one after another, and the well-dressed guests got out of the cars and stepped onto the red carpet with confident steps.

"Liu Qianqian, I love you!"

"Deng Chao, Deng Chao, look here!"

"Master Huang, Mingjiao is invincible in the world!"

As the stars took the stage, fans on both sides of the red carpet couldn't bear it anymore, waving movie posters and shouting their idol's name.

For a time, various cheers erupted outside the CPPCC Auditorium.

Fans paid wrongly.

The film's creators didn't show up, and as the centerpiece of the night, they had to be the last ones on the red carpet.

Six o'clock.

Fang Ziheng, Lin Feifei, and Andy brought all contracted directors and celebrity artists under Hengyu to the scene.

At this time, nearly a thousand movie fans had gathered on both sides of the red carpet, and their arrival made the scene even more lively.

Fang Ziheng led Song Yi onto the red carpet, waving his hands while moving forward at an even speed. He stopped in the middle of the red carpet to provide reporters with a gap to take pictures.

"Director Fang, what are your expectations for "China Partner"?"

"Director Fang, the Lunar New Year festival has been fiercely contested so far. Hengyu Media has been the biggest winner in the Lunar New Year festival for three consecutive years. Do you feel like you are overwhelmed by the high position?"

"Director Fang, "Famous 2" exceeded 1.1 billion, does it put any pressure on "The Great Wall"?"

"Director Fang, can you tell us about your original intention in creating the story of "Chinese Partner"?"

As she walked off the red carpet, reporters swarmed her and asked countless questions.

Fang Ziheng smiled leisurely, and while protecting the little girl, he stopped the microphone handed to him by the reporter: "Everyone, please be patient. I will answer your questions one by one at the premiere later. Please give way now." , don’t block the road.”

He is not in the mood to accept interviews from the media right now. There are many important guests coming tonight. As the owner, he has to go in quickly to entertain them.

It took about ten minutes for the group to walk out of the circle of reporters.

After entering the infield, everyone divided into three groups. Fang Ziheng and Lin Feifei went to the VIP lounge.

Wen Muye, Wu Jing, Hao Yi, Su Lun, and Guo Fan acted as concierges and helped Lao Mouzi greet other fellow directors.

Among Hengyu's artists, Andy led the on-site atmosphere team to entertain all the big names in the entertainment industry who were present.

VIP Lounge No.1.

Leaders from the Propaganda Department, Film Bureau, Imperial City Government, and China Film Group, as well as business leaders from the education industry, film and television industry, Internet industry, and real estate industry, there were a total of more than 20 heavyweight guests.

Fang Ziheng and Lin Feifei opened the door and immediately apologized to everyone.

"Everyone, I'm really sorry. The company has something to do temporarily, so I'm late."

"Haha, Director Fang and Director Lin are finally here."

"It's not too late, it's not too late, we just arrived."

"Come on, come on, sit here."

The other two investors of the film, Wang Zhongjun and Chen Yu, suddenly stood up and said hello.

The two of them had red faces and were in a very good mood.

Director Han, a leader of the Propaganda Department, Vice Mayor Lin of Imperial City, and Director of the Film Bureau were sitting in the middle seats with smiling eyes and extraordinary momentum.

Wanda Wang Jianlin and Hangcheng Ma sat at the head of the four people, one on the left and one on the right, like two generals guarding the gate.

The six people sat firmly in the fishing boat without getting up to greet them.

After that, there are Yu Minhong from New Oriental, Zhang Chaoyang from Sohu, Brother Qiang from JD.com, and Jia Yueting from LeTV.

Although the four of them are not as powerful as Wang Jianlin and Hangcheng Ma Niu, they are still well-known names in the Chinese business community.

Then there are Wang Zhongjun, Chen Yu, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, Cheng Wu from Tengxun Pictures, Gong Yu from iQiyi Pictures, Li Ming from Galloping Horse and others.

These people either stood up quickly or slowed down for a moment, and all stood up with cheerful smiles to welcome the arrival of the two hosts, Fang Ziheng and Lin Feifei.

Talk and laugh with ru, no contacts STOMATOLOGY.

Nothing more than this.

After exchanging pleasantries, Director Han took the initiative to jump into the topic.

He took a sip of tea, looked at Fang Ziheng with a smile and asked: "Director Fang, does Hengyu Media plan to make another costume blockbuster?"

While Director Han was talking, Chen Yu inadvertently glanced at Cheng Wu from Tengxun Pictures.

That look is full of meaning!

As a demo, you Teng Xun is the only one who wants to imitate Wanda, right?
