Entertainment, I just like making movies

It's still early.

Fang Ziheng led the way and led Director Han and Director Kang to an empty lounge next to the screening room.

Along the way, many celebrities and movie people came up to say hello to the three of them, smiling broadly and somewhat ingratiatingly.

Zhao Yanzi and Zhang Qiang followed closely behind the three of them, with no strange look on their faces.

Not to mention, the expressions of the two people fooled many people. They once thought that the two people came here today because they were invited by Hengyu Media.

Only a few film and television company bosses understood clearly that the two of them had come here to show their weakness.

Hengyu Media was furious, and "To Youth" suffered disaster. Alibaba Pictures, an emerging company, simply couldn't resist it.

Entering the lounge, Fang Ziheng waved to the waiter waiting outside the door to come forward and pour tea.

Zhao Yanzi and Zhang Qiang also followed in with their faces licked.

The door is closed.

Director Han sat at the main seat, Fang Ziheng and Kang Ju were chatting with him on the left and right, and Zhao Yanzi and Zhang Qiang were at the bottom of the table.

The three of them chatted about the prospects of "Manslaughter 2" and the boss's expectations for the summer release.

After a while, the waiter brought the tea and left respectfully.

Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Kang Ju put the tea cup in his hand on the coffee table and said with a smile: "Director Fang, I'm sorry, I have to trouble you again this time.

It was Zhao Yanzi's first time directing a film. She didn't understand the rules and didn't discuss "Manslaughter 2" in advance, which resulted in the two films being too close to each other. It was her fault.

I watched "To Youth" yesterday. The finished film was quite passable. If it can be released steadily, it may be possible to contribute another 600 million box office movie to Chinese movies! "

Having said this, Director Kang glanced at Zhao Yanzi, who looked apologetic, and said sternly: "I already scolded her before coming here, and I also asked Director Fang to tell her that "Manslaughter 2" is an excellent film. The movie shouldn’t be too affected!”

Tsk tsk

The leader spoke with a high standard. He did not mention Alibaba Pictures a word and put all the responsibility on Zhao Yanzi.

Fang Ziheng looked at Director Han, who was there, and said with a smile: "Director Kang is worrying too much, Hengyu Media has nothing to do with Ms. Zhao.

Although the two movies were released close to each other, they are not of the same subject matter. With the current market capacity, it can fully accommodate multiple movies with good box office potential. "

Zhao Yanzi's matter was gently revealed. It was not her fault in the first place, so there was no need to hold on to it.

Alibaba Pictures is different.

Fang Ziheng had already made a plan. He changed the subject and complained to Director Kang with a sad face: "Ziheng is just a little worried about "Manslaughter 2". Director Kang doesn't know that someone has been blocking the movie that is controlled and distributed by Hengyu Media.

Last year, "The Master of Hypnotism" directed by Xu Zhengzheng was blocked, and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", which was released during the Spring Festival this year, was groundlessly smeared.

This time "Manslaughter 2" is released, I think the opponents will also look for opportunities to discredit the movie! "

really

As soon as he said these words, Kang Ju's eyelids jumped, foreboding the difficulty of the matter.

The problem now is not with Hengyu, but with Alibaba Pictures.

Who told Alibaba Pictures to make the first move?

You can't just allow the state officials to set fires and not allow the people to light lamps. You can't allow Ali to do Hengyu, but not Hengyu to do Ali.

We are all face-to-face people. You have connections with Alibaba Pictures, but Hengyu Media has no connections.

Kang Ju thought of the kind attitude that Deputy Mayor Lin had towards Lin Feifei, the deputy director of Hengyu Media, at the celebration banquet of "The Secret of the Dragon" last year.

The look in his eyes was the same as when he looked at his little sister, the look of him doting on her to the core.

It seems!

Alibaba Pictures had to express its stance in person to appease Fang Ziheng's anger.

Kang Ju's thoughts were racing, and he couldn't care less about Fang Ziheng's refusal to give him face. He turned to look at Zhang Qiang and said solemnly: "Mr. Zhang, you guys at Alibaba Pictures are really a bit shameful. Even "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" directed by Zhou Xingchi is not good enough. You guys, you guys have made a movie so dirty that it’s all over the place!"

"The situation is our fault!"

Zhang Qiang smiled bitterly in his heart, stood up quickly, admitted his mistake, and apologized to Fang Ziheng: "Don't worry, Director Fang, I guarantee with my personality that similar things will never happen again in the future. Alibaba Pictures will definitely let its results speak for itself and contribute to the prosperity of Chinese films!" "

"Okay, I will trust Mr. Zhang for once!"

Fang Ziheng looked at the other party deeply, then stopped as soon as he was satisfied.

no way.

Kang Ju came forward and this face must be given.

The other party is the upright leader, no lower than China Film Group in terms of ranking.

One is an enterprise and the other is a department. In terms of power, they have more power than Director Han.

I remember that after 2018, the official leadership of the Film Bureau was concurrently held by the leaders of the higher-level departments, integrating the entire entertainment industry.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Zhang Qiang breathed a sigh of relief.

He sat down again, like Zhao Yanzi, with his hands on his knees in a sincere gesture.

In his heart, Zhang Qiang was thinking about "To Our Fading Youth", which had only been released for a few days.

Without the pressure from Hengyu Media, it can regain its firepower and increase its efforts to harvest the box office.

Zhao Yanzi was also relatively relaxed at this time, and Hengyu let go, indicating that the movie is about to get back on track.

The title of director with a box office of 600 million is beckoning to her.

More importantly, today she did not use the connections behind her, but asked Alibaba Pictures to ask Kang Ju to make peace.

I believe that after this experience, her good days will come soon.

After another chat.

Kang Ju took Zhang Qiang and Zhao Yanzi to leave, saying they wanted to go out for a walk and chat with other colleagues.

Fang Ziheng stood up and said goodbye with a smile, his attitude and look were hard to fault.

Director Han watched the three people leave, took a sip from the tea cup, and smiled leisurely: "How about it, Alibaba Pictures guarantees it in person, your anger should be gone, right?"

"Oh, it has to be settled. Who told Kang Ju not to help Hengyu?"

Fang Ziheng looked sad, with an aggrieved face that no one felt hurt or cared about.

However, his acting was too fake. Director Han saw through it at a glance. He raised his hand and pointed his fingers twice and laughed and cursed: "You, Lao Kang, can't help it. Alibaba headquarters will find him, and he will have to sell his face!"

"Favors will always be used up one day. If I remember correctly, the last time Alibaba wanted to invest in "囧", he invited the old boss Kang. As the saying goes, there are only three things to do. Sooner or later, the old Kang will get tired of them!"

Director Han looked calm and pointed out the relationship between the two parties unhurriedly.

Fang Ziheng showed approval. As the head of the film department, Kang Ju was busy with work and could not worry about such bad things all day long.

Next time, if Alibaba Pictures falls into his hands again, it will never be as easy to talk to as this time.

Immediately, he handed over to Dong Han and said with a sincere smile: "I have to thank you for your help, otherwise I wouldn't be able to withstand Kang Ju's power by myself!"

Director Han has been helping him since the first movie "The Unknown Man". It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a good mentor!

Hengyu Media also reciprocates the favor. China Film Group must have a share of the projects it controls every year.

The relationship between the two parties is very harmonious, and the cooperation between state-owned enterprises and private enterprises is a good story.

and

Director Han owes nothing in favor, and the more debts he owes, the closer the relationship between the two will be.

Needless to say, if Director Han can still work for one term, the potential benefits to Hengyu Media are endless.

These thick legs are really delicious!

At 7 p.m., the premiere officially begins.

Fang Ziheng came on stage and said a few words, giving very high praise to "Manslaughter 2" director Guo Fan.

Guo Fan directed "Donkey Gets Water" last year, which had a box office of over 200 million. Although it was a surprise, it didn't make much noise.

Last year's "Donkey Gets Water" ranked at the bottom of all movies controlled by Hengyu Media.

The people in front of him are too powerful, so Guo Fan naturally has no chance to use "The Unknown" to gain momentum like Fang Ziheng.

However, he knew Guo Fan's ability and had already asked the Hengyu Literary Editorial Department to start developing the script for "The Wandering Earth".

The "Wandering Earth" project can be launched only after the first and second phases of the Hengyu Film and Television Base are completed.

At this stage, Guo Fan still needs more film polish.

During this period, a reporter asked when "The Founding of an Army" could be completed and meet with audience friends.

Fang Ziheng said bluntly that the film has been completed and is scheduled to be released during the National Day.

seven thirty.

The movie started to show, and the huge screening room became quiet.

Countless pairs of glasses looked at the big screen expectantly.

"Manslaughter 2"!

It tells the story of a father, Lin Rilang, who was desperate to save his son whose heart was stolen by a powerful man.

In the previous life, the original movie was adapted from "The Imminent Moment". The plot, story and characters were localized.

The movie achieved a very good box office of 1.12 billion, winning the 2021 Lunar New Year championship.

In this life, many changes have been made to the plot.

The theme is still the love of a father and the fight against corruption, and revolves around a series of keywords such as "poor family, medical resources, privilege, corruption, father's love and mother's love, taking risks for love" and so on.

I dare not say 1.1 billion, but I am still sure about 700-800 million.

The big screen dimmed, and the logos of Longbiao, Hengyu Media Group, and Hengyu Interactive Entertainment flashed away.

A lit cigarette appears.

A man wearing a liver-red shirt and a peaked cap appeared in a small, damp alley.

The male protagonist, Lin Rilang, played by Xiao Yang, leaned against the wall behind him, smoking with his head lowered and constantly fiddling with the lighter in his hand.

The lighter opened the gathering room, and wisps of flames burst out.

Seeing this, many viewers' eyes lit up and they guessed the development of the story.

The hero is about to do something big, and something big!

As the audience expected, Xiao Yang finished the cigarette in several puffs, stamped on the butt of the cigarette, picked up the travel bag and walked out of the alley without looking back.

His destination was the hospital diagonally opposite.

On the way across the street, Xiao Yang turned on the lighter and threw it into a trash can next to the street.

The trash can soon started to smoke, and two police officers patrolling opposite the hospital rushed over with street news.

Xiao Yang passed by the police head-on and strode into the hospital.

Then the camera turned, and guest actor Deng Chao appeared, wearing a fluffy hairstyle, staring fiercely at a doctor in a white coat in front of him.

Deng Chao stared at the doctor, a flash of strong resentment flashed across his face, and took out a folding knife from his trouser pocket.

He stepped forward quickly and wanted to stab the doctor.

At this time, Xiao Yang came in.

Good guy.

As soon as Xiao Yang came up, he took out a pistol and shot into the air, instantly throwing the hospital into chaos.

Deng Chao trembled with fear, quickly hid the knife, and hid with the doctor.

The entire hospital fell into chaos, and nurses and patients fled desperately.

Xiao Yang moved forward with his gun raised, and caught a man in a suit and leather shoes. He put his gun against the man's neck and looked at him fiercely.

"Do you still know me?"

The plot begins with the sound of gunshots.

Police cars were speeding, special police and fire fighters arrived quickly, and the entire hospital was surrounded in a short time.

A father's action against powerful people and corruption began for the sake of his seriously ill son.

In the screening room.

Thousands of people breathed lightly and followed the actor Lin Rilang attentively, immersing themselves in this confrontation that resonated with everyone.

Unlike the first "Manslaughter 1", "Manslaughter 2" does not have much foreshadowing and few metaphors.

With Fang Ziheng's intervention, "Manslaughter 2" also abandoned the sensationalism of the previous life, which was to go to death.

Now that he has chosen confrontation, the hero has given up on himself, just to save his son's life.

The gun in his hand was also replaced by a real gun!

He fought with the powerful with real swords and guns. Even if he gave up his life in the end, everything would be fine as long as his son was alive.

Of course, the subsequent plot was beyond the actor's expectations.

My son was not saved!

The powerful man took the heart that his son applied for and performed surgery on his son upstairs in this hospital.

In a rage, Lin Rilang started to rob!

At the same time, he himself was shot to death by the police and fell in a pool of blood, staring at the powerful man who fell to the ground.

At the end of the movie, the excessive death toll attracted the attention of relevant departments, and an anti-corruption and anti-gang operation came as scheduled.

Although the male protagonist Lin Rilang did not get back the heart, his unyielding spirit and daring to resist gave his son a glimmer of hope.

With the attention of relevant departments, a heart matching his son was transported from another city.

In the same hospital, his son received new surgery and gained a new lease of life.

The person in charge of the hospital earlier was imprisoned, along with a number of officials from corrupt groups.

The theme of the movie has also been sublimated from personal confrontation to anti-corruption and upholding integrity, and it has quietly added a third theme.

When the audience saw Lin Rilang's son recovering and the corrupt forces being uprooted, they couldn't help but shout in their hearts.

Cool!

So cool!

You have to do this, Lin Rilang is a real man!

bang bang

bang bang

After the movie ended, thunderous applause erupted in the screening hall.

All audiences, including invited guests, gave the film the most positive feedback.

The movie did not disappoint everyone. Whether it was the plot, the theme, or the actors' acting skills, it greatly stimulated their senses.

I have to get this movie!

"Awesome, this is the first time I see ordinary people confronting the powerful!"

"Haha, it's so exciting. Although Lin Rilang is dead, he did not lose. His son is alive. The losers are the powerful and the corrupt forces."

"Why do I feel that the movie should be called "Hate 1"!"

"It was so exciting. I saw the powerful man's son undergoing surgery. While the powerful man was waiting outside, I shouted in my heart that Lin Rilang should take action and shoot the powerful man to death!"

"I also shouted, Lin Rilang is awesome, he just grabs when he says, without any trace of ink!"

"Alas, the only regret is that the powerful man's son is still alive. Lin Rilang still has some humanity and did not kill this troublemaker!"

"You must live, otherwise the film will not pass the review and Lin Rilang's son will not be able to get a new heart!"

"I love it, I love it. This product produced by Hengyu Media must be a top quality product!"

After the movie ended, the audience stood up and walked out of the screening room while discussing the movie excitedly.

As usual, Hengyu Media asked all the guests to move to a nearby hotel, prepare a small amount of wine, and thank the guests for their support.

Half past eleven in the evening.

After the dinner, Fang Ziheng politely declined the invitation of the movie heroine Wen Yongshan and returned to the palace.

Fang Rou's mother had already fallen asleep with little Yueyue, and he quietly went up to the second floor alone.

Just after taking a shower, I received a video call from Liu Qianqian for ward rounds.

In the video, the young lady looked him up and down with a joking look on his face: "Hey, why did you come back so early today?"

"What do you mean today? I don't come back early these days?"

"I mean tonight is the premiere of "Manslaughter 2". The heroine's name is Wen Yongshan. She is a great beauty. Are you not attracted to her?"

Fang Ziheng: "."

Well, it turns out that the young lady is waiting for him here!

Two days ago, he told the young lady about the premiere time of "Manslaughter 2". The young lady was smiling and could not see any signs.

I called the video on time today. This guy doesn’t trust him and wants to catch him on the spot!

Fang Ziheng was angry, beating his chest loudly while expressing his dissatisfaction righteously.

"I am doing my best and I am loyal to you, Sissi. I didn't expect you to look at me like this. It makes me so sad!"

"No more love, the baby is sad!"

After saying that, he fell down on the bed and rolled around in sadness.

On the other end of the phone, the young lady looked so happy, her eyes watery, as happy as if she had been wiped with honey.

"Oh, who said I don't believe you!"

"My dear, don't be angry anymore, MU!"

The young lady quickly comforted you, blew a kiss from the air, and explained with a smile: "I'm just a little worried. I'm not around, so of course I have to pay more attention to you."

"Besides, you have a criminal record. If you are not careful, you will be seduced by vixens outside."

"Impossible, I am a strong-willed man!"

On the bed, Fang Ziheng's serious, slightly guilty muttering came from the bed.
