Entertainment, I just like making movies

January 16th.

The production team of Yao Shen officially went on annual vacation. The two hundred people in the production team dragged their bags and walked out of the hotel in high spirits and boarded the bus to the airport.

"Oh, why didn't I see the director and the others?"

"It seems like it's a treat from Brother Chao, and they have to stay in the city for one day."

"What the hell, just get in the car. I can't wait to go back and feel the strong air of the Imperial Capital!"

"Haha, it's just you!"

"Have you heard that the group will hold an annual meeting this year!"

"Annual meeting, speaking of which, Hengyu has been established for five years, and we haven't even held an annual meeting yet!"

"Hehe, the director is not too busy this year and is planning to put on a big show. According to the guy from my general manager's office, not only will many big stars be invited to come and play, there will also be an on-site lottery draw!"

"Lottery, what to draw, cash or prizes!"

"Oops, what the fuck, I just told my parents last night that I would go back to celebrate the New Year this year!"

"Haha, I also called my mother, but I said I want to go back to the Imperial Capital first. I'm not sure when the holiday will be!"

"Tsk, tsk, it would be great if you invited me for the idol week milk tea."

"Hey, didn't you say that your idol is Sister Zuxian?"

"It's all the same. It's best to come with both."

"Everything is beautiful!"

The three big buses started, and the laughter of friends could be heard along the way.

The crew returned to the Imperial Capital at noon, while Fang Ziheng, Wen Muye, Xu Zheng and others stayed for half a day.

Everyone went to Deng Chao's home in the Magic City, had lunch together, and didn't return to the Imperial Capital until around six o'clock in the afternoon.

eight pm.

Fang Ziheng returned to the palace after a long journey. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a porcelain doll swinging on the blanket in the living room.

Little Yueyue opened her hands and stood unsteadily on the snow-white blanket, trembling as she learned to walk.

Her little face was nervous, and every small step she took was extremely difficult. If she took a little too big a step, she would squat down and fall down, then get up again and try again.

Zeng Li squatted in front of little Yueyue, two or three meters away, opened his arms and encouraged softly: "Come on Yueyue, come to mom."

The little Yueyue was babbling and couldn't say the word "Mom", so she crossed the three-meter distance and fell into Zeng Li's arms.

Bang bang bang...

There was sudden applause from behind.

Zeng Li hugged his daughter and turned around suddenly to see Fang Ziheng leaning on the door frame, looking at the two of them tenderly.

Seeing her lover, Beauty Zeng's eyes lit up: "Ah, why didn't you say anything when you came back?"

"I want to give you and Yueyue a surprise."

Fang Ziheng smiled and closed the door, put down his suitcase, took off his coat and walked towards the mother and daughter.

When he opened the door just now, there was actually quite a lot of movement, but there was soothing music playing in the living room. Zeng Li was focused on his daughter and didn't hear any movement.

"Our Yue Yue is so awesome, she can even walk. Come, let's have sex with daddy."

Fang Ziheng took his daughter from Zeng Li's hand, gently threw it up, and leaned her daughter on his shoulder.

Then, he turned to face his daughter with an expectant look in his eyes.

They haven’t seen her for half a month, and even though they video chat every day, he still misses his daughter.

Little Yueyue was very alert. First she stared at her father carefully, her big eyes were very bright, as if she was thinking about who this person was.

Soon she smiled, murmured, and kissed Fang Ziheng on the face.

It is said that a daughter is her father’s little cotton-padded jacket.

Little Yueyue was almost one year old, and Fang Ziheng's familiar breath and face made her understand that this was her father.

At this time, Fang Rou's mother came out of the kitchen and was very happy to see Fang Ziheng. She smiled and said, "I really can't help but talk about it. Xiaorou came to see us yesterday and talked about when Zi Heng would come back. I didn't expect you would be here today."

"I came back at noon and stayed in the magic city for a while. Aunt Fang, are you feeling well?"

"I'm in good health. I don't have to worry about food or clothing here. Zeng Li treats me well. Xiaorou will come to visit me whenever she has time."

"Yeah, that's good. After the New Year, I'll give Zhongxin and Xiaorou a long vacation and let them take you back to your hometown to play for a while."

"How can that be done? They both have to work, and Zeng Li and Yue Yue also need someone to take care of them."

Aunt Fang shook her head and refused. She was used to it in the imperial capital now. It didn't matter whether she returned to her hometown or not.

As long as Fang Zhongxin and Fang Rou are promising, she can be anywhere.

Immediately, Aunt Fang said again: "You go take a bath first, and I will get you something to eat."

"Okay, please, auntie."

Fang Ziheng smiled and didn't try to persuade her, as long as Aunt Fang got used to it in the palace.

Zeng Li has received the application letter from China National Theater and will officially return to school to teach next year. Her focus will slowly return to school and family.

But even if she is not busy, little Yueyue still needs someone to take care of her.

After taking a bath and having dinner, Fang Ziheng held little Yueyue for a walk.

It wasn't until after nine o'clock, when Xiao Yueyue was yawning all day long, that she was handed over to Aunt Fang to take her back to the room to sleep.

Zeng Liren was in the kitchen, not knowing what to do.

Fang Ziheng made himself hot tea and went into the study to check the recent situation in the movie market.

Today is the 16th of the twelfth lunar month, exactly half a month before New Year’s Eve, and one week before the end of the Lunar New Year holiday.

The movie market is still booming.

The most eye-catching movie, "Charlotte" has a total box office of 1.46 billion after 23 days of release.

With its strong strength, it ranked fourth in the Chinese film history list, only behind the three films "The Secret of the Dragon", "The Great Wall" and "囧".

The movie can still be released for 10 days, and there are still more than 25 million in a single day. The potential has not been exhausted, and there is great hope to exceed 1.6 billion.

Hengyu Media has set a banquet to celebrate the 1.6 billion box office success, and it will be held together with the group's annual meeting. It will be a great time to have a good time.

The two rivals in the Lunar New Year movie, "Private Order" and "Police Story 2013", can't even see the back of "Charlotte" at this time.

"Private Customization" was released for 27 days, and the total box office exceeded 900 million, which is still 100 million away from the 1 billion club.

Even this small goal of 100 million is as difficult as reaching the sky and cannot be reached no matter what.

Without getting the extension key, there is only 6 days left for "Private Customization" to reach 1 billion.

According to rumors, Wang Zhongjun made two reports but failed to get approval from his superiors. He couldn't get the extension key and was so angry that he dropped his phone.

Huayi's stock price did not reach 70 billion due to the popularity of the Lunar New Year holiday, but only reached 69 billion.

A box office gap of 100 million is the same as a stock price gap of 1 billion. It cannot be improved no matter what.

Even on the secondary listing side, countless investors who are optimistic about the stock price of Entertainment Film and Television are already discussing and thinking about buying the shares of Hengyu Interactive Entertainment next year.

Everyone is not a fool. They all see that Hua Yi is vain. In the past two years, he has not had strong support from his works and has relied entirely on the general environment.

Of course, if you understand, you will understand, and if you understand, you will understand.

Apart from Hengyu, it seems that only Hua Yi is more powerful.

Other film and television stocks, such as Guangxian, Huace, Tudou Video, Youku Video, and LeTV, are not even as good as Huayi.

Even though Tudou has the blessing of Hengyu Media and has produced one high-quality online drama after another, in the eyes of the public, it is naturally not as good as making movies.

This is also the reason why in the previous life, except for Huayi, which had a market value of 900 in 2015, no film and television company in China had such a high total market value.

It all depends on the support of my peers!

In his last life, if Bona hadn't gone to the U.S. stock market, it might have been possible.

Not to mention the glamor, the stock price hit 30 billion in 2015, 60 billion in 2017, and then nothing happened.

Wang Changtian's shrewd calculations went too far, and he didn't know how to transform into high-quality and large-scale productions even though he was already rich in money. He clung to using small things to make big things happen, and ultimately missed the opportunity to transform into an entertainment group.

By the end of 2019, it will be too late to care.

The film and television winter is coming, and the film and television companies on the market are joining forces to stop the production.

During the three years of cold winter, the film and television companies that survived were still the ones established in the early years.

Fang Ziheng couldn't predict whether there would be a cold winter in this life.

He does not need to predict that after the Hengyu cinema chain is completely laid out and the film and television base is built, the group will complete the closed loop and the three cold winter years will not pose any substantial threat to Hengyu.

He had it all figured out.

If winter really comes, seal the film and television base, move in a few crews, and isolate the inside and outside.

With the support of the local government, we can shoot movies in the same way, but if we can't go to theaters, we can shoot big online movies and TV series.

Anyway, with Tudou Video in hand, I don’t have to worry about platform output at all.

Stop talking, it’s too far-fetched!

In addition to "Private Order" running out of potential, "Police Story 2013" has also lost its vitality.

It only received 63 million box office in the new week, and it was released for 20 days, with a total box office of 580 million.

Not to mention the 1 billion club, even 800 million has no hope.

The movie is quite good. Although it doesn't have Cheng Long's funny fights, it is more interesting than many Hong Kong police and gangster movies.

After cooperating with Hengyu Media, Wanda Film and Television has learned the lesson and understands the importance of scripts.

The version of this life is much better than the previous one.

There are still more than ten days left, and "Police Story 2013" is still stable to break 600 million.

As the heroine, Da Tiantian has also completely secured her position as a popular movie star. At least she does not have the title of the bad movie queen in her previous life, which she could not afford to support.

In addition to the above three Lunar New Year blockbusters, there are only two movies that are quite bright in the new week.

Both are Hollywood movies, one is called "Despicable Me 2" and the other is called "Ender's Game".

"Despicable Me 2" was released on January 10 and has a total box office of 156 million.

"Andy's Game" is not as good, it was released on January 7, and its total box office is currently only 90 million.

Other movies, such as "Fire Fighting Heroes", "Six Blessings", etc., are all blockbusters.

Generally speaking, this year’s Lunar New Year stalls are as popular as ever, and they still can’t escape the fate of eating all the food at the head, grabbing food at the middle, and ending up on the street.

Fang Ziheng watched it for a while and was very satisfied with the results of "Charlotte Troubles".

“The New Year champion is in hand, now it’s time for the Spring Festival!”

He chuckled, closed the Hengyu Maoyan website, and opened his personal gas tank. Lying quietly inside was a list of movies to be released during the Spring Festival.

After the Lunar New Year stalls were separated from the Spring Festival stalls, the twelfth lunar month and the Little New Year stalls were used as the dividing line, and the Lunar New Year stalls were called the Lunar New Year stalls.

Movies released after the Lunar New Year are unified into the Spring Festival schedule.

Generally speaking, movies that are confident of competing for the Spring Festival slot will not focus on the off-year period, but will move the movie back to release on New Year's Eve.

To put it more generally, in order to grab the traffic on the first day of the Lunar New Year, movies will be released in the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year.

During this year’s Spring Festival, a total of three movies were released in the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year.

"Detective Chinatown 2"

"Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven"

"From Vegas to Macau"

Originally, there was another movie called "Where Are We Going, Dad" that was released during the Spring Festival, but it was canceled by Optoelectronics.

There had just been a big meeting, and the superiors made it clear that they were not allowed to mess around with circle movies, and "Where Are We Going, Dad" happened to hit it head-on.

Speaking of this, Tudou Video also got a good deal.

Because "Where Are We Going, Dad" cannot be shown online on Xiangnan Satellite TV, it is looking to sell the rights to video websites.

But because Shonan TV has its own video website, it is not exclusive. After contacting us, only Tudou Video had the highest bid.

At Fang Ziheng's suggestion, Tudou Video finally won the copyright of "Where Are We Going, Dad" for 30 million.

The contract is signed for twenty years, which is 1.5 million a year.

It’s so cheap!

Shonan TV also made money. The movie version of "Where Are We Going, Dad" didn't even cost 5 million to produce, it was just an episode of a variety show.

At the same time, Tudou Video also put forward a requirement that the release time of movies on both platforms must be on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

At that time, Shonan Channel was full of resentment and was preparing to launch on the first day of the new year, hoping to use the popularity of the variety show to cause damage.

Fang Ziheng personally called the director of Xiangnan Channel and requested that the release of "Where Are We Going, Dad" be postponed due to the impact of "Tang Detective 2".

no way!

"Where Are We Going, Dad" has been broadcast for two seasons. Like "The Voice" and "Run, Brother" which have been broadcast for three seasons, they are all phenomenal variety shows.

If it were to be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, with the influence and publicity of Shonan Channel in the hearts of the public, it would really be possible to affect the normal theater market.

Apart from other things, once the little monsters in countless families clamored to watch "Where Are We Going, Dad", parents would definitely stop thinking about going to theaters.

OK OK!

Then the family stayed at home and watched variety shows and movies happily.

"Tang Detective 2" is the opening drama of Hengyu Media Group in 2014, and it must not be affected by a variety show movie.

After some phone discussions, Shonan TV finally agreed.

What Hengyu Media paid was only 20% of the investment share in a variety show in the coming year.

Speaking of which, Shonan Channel is probably not sure how much box office "Where Are We Going, Dad" can do? Otherwise, they will not compromise with Optoelectronics even if they are beaten to death, and they will definitely find a relationship to let the movie return to theaters.

Except for "Where Are We Going, Dad", among the three Spring Festival movies, "Tang Detective 2" has received the most attention from the public.

Another movie, "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" is not bad at all.

In China, the influence of the famous work "Journey to the West" can be said to be universal.

In particular, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has Yuzhu in the forefront, making "Havoc in Heaven" been anticipated by countless audiences as soon as it was released.

In the previous life, "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" earned over 1 billion at the box office during the Lunar New Year this year, which cannot be underestimated.

This film is also the first major production project chaired by Kang Di, the director of the film bureau, after he took office.

The film's distributor is also China Film Group, which has unparalleled publicity and distribution capabilities.

According to disclosed information, in addition to Hong Kong's Xinghao Film and Television, which accounted for 55% of the investment share of "Havoc in Heaven", China Film Group took 40% of the remaining share.

This time, Hengyu Media will face off against China Film Group!

Like this ‘Tarzan’ in China’s film and television industry, he is just as skilled in the film market.
