Entertainment, I just like making movies

It took half a day to finally film the group fight scene.

The crew gave each extra actor 200 yuan for labor service, a poke of golden arowana, and a bag of 20 kilograms of rice.

The uncles and aunts took photos to commemorate the occasion and left happily.

In the following days, the crew continued to shoot the indoor scenes of the God of Medicine.

According to the shooting plan, almost all scenes in the Magic City will be indoor scenes, and it is expected to be completed in about ten days.

In early March, the crew moved to Jinling, the capital of Sujiang Province, to shoot outdoor scenes for a month.

Going to India in April, it can be completed by the end of May at most.

In the evening, the crew stayed at the station.

Fang Ziheng looked through tomorrow's shooting schedule, put on a towel and came to the computer to check the latest week's box office data.

These days, the lingering warmth of the Spring Festival has dissipated, and the film market has not lost its excitement just because the holiday is over.

Nothing else.

The first Valentine's Day of the new year is here.

As a Western holiday, Valentine's Day, promoted by capital and manufacturers, has long become a day for urban young men and women to "mix their honey with oil."

As of February 10th to the early morning of February 17th, a total of eight movies were released simultaneously in the new week.

"Tang Detective 2" controlled by Hengyu Media still ranks first, ranking C in the weekly box office list with a score of 340 million in seven days.

The movie's reputation has been thoroughly fermented, and new viewers express their emotions on the Internet every day and recommend the movie to their relatives and friends.

After 16 days of release, the total box office quietly reached 1.4 billion, which was significantly higher than the movies of the same period.

The runner-up at the weekly box office was not "Havoc in Heaven" but a romance movie "Empire Love Story".

The film is directed by Chen Sicheng and stars actor Liang Jiawui, actress Liu Jialing, Wang Xuebing, Yu Nan, Chen Sicheng and Yaya.

Since it was released at 2 pm on February 13, after taking in 20 million at the box office on the first day, the single-day box office on Valentine's Day the next day exceeded 90 million, becoming the biggest dark horse movie since the beginning of the new year.

In the four days of its first weekend, the total box office was 190 million, beating "Macau" and "Havoc in Heaven".

As a result, Lao Chen was named a new generation of emerging directors, and was compared by many media with Fang Ziheng, who just debuted in 2009.

One thing to say, Lao Chen is indeed very talented and can be considered one of the leading characters in domestic entertainment.

"I just don't know if Lao Chen will still be with Yaya in this life?"

Fang Ziheng's eyes were dim as he looked at the data list on the computer page and murmured to himself.

Forget it, never mind it!

Anyway, he doesn’t want to take advantage of Yaya!

Ranked third is "Macau Storm"!

The movie began to pick up on the 13th. With Bona's announcement, the single-day box office exceeded the previous day, with a weekly box office of 180 million and a total box office of 380 million.

Da Tiantian called again, smiling brightly, without the depression and unhappiness of the previous days at all.

"Havoc in Heaven" ranked fourth, taking in 150 million in the new week, with a total box office of 790 million.

If nothing unexpected happens, "Havoc in Heaven" will still earn 40-50 million in box office next week, and the total box office is estimated to be around 850 million.

Compared with the previous life, there was no opponent. In this life, when encountering "Tang Detective 2", the box office was 200 million less, which is really miserable!

The world is so cruel. In my last life, I encountered several movies like "Havoc in Heaven" and was mercilessly crushed by them.

Compared with the previous life where everyone had no choice and was fooled into the cinema by China Film's propaganda, this life "Tang Detective 2" gives the opportunity to the audience to avoid being fed shit and poison during the Spring Festival holiday.

On the Internet, many people said that Fang Ziheng was so full that he had nothing to do and arranged his movie schedule blindly.

Obviously, "Tang Detective 2" can miss the opportunity to be released, and retain "Havoc in Heaven"'s place in the billion club, but it has to be hard-faced.

In this regard, Fang Ziheng just wanted to say that these people thought too little.

Putting aside the fact that there are only so many good schedules, for a movie of the caliber of "Tang Detective 2", if you don't choose the Lunar New Year or Spring Festival schedule at the end of the year, it will have to be moved to next year's summer schedule.

Hengyu is producing more and more movies every year, and any important schedule is hard to miss.

Besides, some people just like to be leverage.

"Havoc in Heaven" is obviously a bad movie, but when there are no good movies to compare it with, they criticize it and say that domestic movies are hopeless, and even Hollywood movies can't keep up.

With the release of "Tang Detective 2", it will improve the movie-watching experience during the Spring Festival for the audience, and it is said that it is deliberately suppressing its peers and causing internal strife.

It’s true that you are also a human being, and you are also a ghost!

As early as a few years ago, Fang Ziheng had set a vision to let the high-quality content produced by Hengyu Media drive the production level of the industry.

This time "Tang Detective 2" is fighting "Havoc in Heaven" head-on. This is the reason. It takes the road of high-quality movies and leaves no room for bad movies to escape!

The Hollywood animated film "Frozen" ranked fifth, with a weekly box office of 80 million and a total box office of 110 million.

In addition to the above five movies that eat meat and drink soup, the other three movies can only get scraps, and the weekly box office does not exceed 20 million.

"I have already planted nine hundred and ninety-nine roses for you. From the day we fell in love, I have nine hundred and ninety-nine lovesickness..."

Just when Fang Ziheng was thinking about when to hold a celebration banquet for "Tang Detective 2", the phone on the computer table vibrated and the ringtone recorded by Liu Qianqian rang.

The young lady seems to be very interested and talented in recording cell phone ringtones. She plays a few songs from time to time and even changes the lyrics.

Fang Ziheng's eyes wandered, and he picked up the phone and answered it.

"Hey sister, how are you?"

"Zi Heng, I will fly to the Magic City tomorrow. The SMG Group will hold a coordination meeting the day after tomorrow. Let's go over and take a look."

On the other end of the phone, Lin Feifei's voice came, which was gentle and gentle. When people heard it, the image of a beautiful, intellectual and elegant woman came to mind.

"Is it appropriate for outsiders to attend the coordination meeting?"

Fang Ziheng frowned and whispered, closed the computer, stood up and went to the floor-to-ceiling window to light a cigarette.

If Tudou Video wants to obtain the right to use TV licenses from Bestcom, it must obtain the consent of China Media Group and the newly formed Oriental Pearl New Media Group.

According to internal information, Wang Jianjun, the president of China Media Group, is likely to serve as the chairman and secretary of the Oriental Pearl Group during this adjustment.

Of course, the appointment has not been made and everything is still unknown.

But at the very least, Wang Jianjun is one of the top executives who can influence the rights to use Best TV. It is very necessary to meet and chat with her.

"It doesn't matter, I had a phone call with President Wang, and she proposed that Hengyu Media attend the meeting as an investor in Oriental Pearl New Media. Besides us, there will be other interested companies the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, what time is your flight tomorrow? I'll pick you up."

Hearing this, Fang Ziheng breathed a sigh of relief, took a puff of cigarette and said warmly.

"I won't bother you, a great director. Sun Li will be the host tomorrow and we'll go to the shopping mall in the afternoon."

Sister Lin chuckled and didn't give the young man a chance to show his attentiveness.

He pursed his lips, lowered his tone and said flirtatiously: "Sister, I miss you."

"I missed me, so why didn't I see you call me?"

Fang Ziheng: "."

Don't play by the rules, right?

Unwilling to give up, he hung up the phone and played a video.

Dudu

The video was connected quickly.

Sister Lin was lying on the quilt, wearing a low-cut silver-gray nightdress on her upper body, revealing a large piece of delicate collarbone, and two big buns hanging over the quilt, ready to come out.

"What are you doing? I'm ready to sleep."

Concubine Lin glanced at the little man, turned over her phone and slowly scanned the bedroom, letting him visit her boudoir.

Then, she pointed the phone at herself again, tilting the camera 45 degrees to include her face and upper body.

Fang Ziheng put out his cigarette, crawled onto the bed, looked at the duplicitous beauty in the video, and smiled evilly: "Sister, do you miss me?"

"No, just film your scene and we'll meet the day after tomorrow."

Lin Feifei hummed softly, holding the mobile phone in her right hand, raising her left hand to stir up her freshly dried hair, staring at the little man's actions with charming eyes.

Just show it to you so that you can’t eat it.

Be obedient

Fang Ziheng was instantly touched, his eyes lit up, and he brought the phone closer.

"Sister, I've never seen this nightgown of yours before. What material is it made of?"

"I don't know, please help me take a look."

The corner of Sister Lin's mouth raised, knowing that the little man was setting the stage, she lowered the camera and pointed it at the neckline of her pajamas on her chest.

"Sister, it seems like there are extra lines on the collar."

"Is there any? I'll look for it..."

The next day.

Fang Ziheng came to the set whistling, feeling refreshed and with a bit of dissoluteness in his brows.

When Xu Zheng saw this, he was amazed and smiled like an experienced driver.

The director must have done something bad last night, I just don’t know who it was.

Nine o'clock.

An older hospital with well-arranged filming scenes.

Xu Zheng, Hu Ge, and Li Qin, who plays Lu Yiyi's wife, rehearsed the performance several times.

It was not until 9:30 that the three people's emotions aroused, and Fang Ziheng announced the official start of work.

"Everyone in your place!"

"The actors are in place!"

"Scene 78, first shot, once, start."

In the hospital ward, Brother Hu lay weakly on the snow-white hospital bed, looking haggard, his lips were white and bloodless, and his eyes were staring at the ceiling blankly.

Li Qin, who played his wife, walked in from outside with a bowl of porridge, her lips were also chapped and her face was pale.

"Lao Lu, Lao Lu."

Li Qin bent over and sat on the hospital bed, stretched out his hand to shake Brother Hu, and called softly.

Brother Hu withdrew his vacant gaze, his lips trembled, and he looked apologetically and guiltily at his wife who was suffering with him.

"Lao Lu, don't think too much, drink some porridge first."

Li Qin gave a sigh of relief and fed Brother Hu gently and considerately.

After taking a few sips, Brother Hu patted the back of her hand to indicate that it was enough and he couldn't eat anymore.

At this time, Xu Zheng, who was washing his hands in a golden basin, appeared at the door and came to the other side of the hospital bed in Brother Hu's confusion.

"Hey, once you cut your hair, you become more handsome and energetic!"

Xu Zheng nodded towards Li Qin, turned to look at Brother Hu, and teased Brother Hu with a Modu accent, with an ugly smile on his face.

Looking at it, Xu Zheng's eyes showed a little sadness, and he laughed and cursed in a low voice: "You are so brave that you dare to commit suicide!"

"In the heat of the moment, impulsively."

Brother Hu was also laughing, looking up at Xu Zheng, his haggard look showed no trace of resentment, but only happiness for his friend after getting out of trouble.

Up to this point in the filming, both of them have excellent acting skills and have already entered the scene.

In front of the monitor, Fang Ziheng remained motionless, letting the two of them do what they wanted.

It is a very rare situation to be in a play. It is best not to interrupt if you can.

It would be better if this important scene could be shot to the end.

On the hospital bed, the three of them saw from the corner of their eyes that Fang Ziheng did not make a sound and continued to perform.

Xu Zheng took the lead and stared at Brother Hu, blinking a few tears.

Sad, guilty, like a dead rat.

Instead, Brother Hu looked away a little, leaned against the bedside with his hands on his hands, took the orange from the cabinet and handed it over: "Eat an orange,"

"What's going on? How did it end up like this?"

Xu Zheng asked in a hoarse voice.

Brother Hu's outstretched arm suddenly stopped, looked at the ceiling again, and murmured: "There is no medicine, that's it."

At this time, Lu Yiyi had both helplessness and helplessness in his eyes, showing his fragile heart in front of Xu Zheng.

Fate was so unfair to him and their little family!

He has no resentment or anger, only the unwillingness and helplessness of a small person.

A dying person, that’s all!

"Click, okay, keep one more!"

Seeing this, Fang Ziheng, who was standing directly in front of the hospital bed, suddenly shouted, extremely satisfied with the two people's performance.

Not bad, really good!

Hu Ge's eyes are stunning, free and helpless, unwilling and resigned, and he vividly interprets a dying man who has experienced the critical moment of life and death.

"Not bad, the performance is very good and very bright."

Fang Ziheng had a smile in his eyes and gave a thumbs up to Brother Hu who got up.

Hu Ge, who has been in a car accident and has seen life and death, is indeed more suitable for the role of Lu Yiyi than other actors.

"Okay, let's think about it for a while and continue shooting in ten minutes."

After filming the hospital bed scene, Fang Ziheng nodded to the three of them and walked out of the ward.

He decided to strike while the iron was hot, take more shots in the morning and call it a day early in the afternoon.

Sister Lin has already boarded the plane and will arrive in Shanghai at noon and will be received by Sun Li.

After lunch, they went shopping in the afternoon, and he rushed there in time so he could have dinner.

As for Sister Lin’s statement about meeting tomorrow, you’d be stupid to believe her.

"Props, get something to cover the windows on both sides of the corridor."

"Director, right now!"

"A few more people will come, move these benches and place them in the middle one by one."

"receive!"

Fang Ziheng thought to himself and waved to the crew outside to ask them to move faster.

ten minutes later.

"Everyone in your place!"

"Actors prepare!"

"Scene 79, first shot, start!"

Xu Zheng and Li Qin were sitting on chairs in the corridor. They stared out the window, neither of them speaking.

In the ward, the doctor was debriding Brother Hu, sometimes screaming and sometimes roaring, the pain was so painful that it reached the bone marrow.

Hearing Brother Hu's shrill cry, Xu Zheng became even more moved and turned slightly sideways, not daring to face Li Qin who was standing beside him.

Li Qin looked out the window, worry and hesitation flashed across his haggard face, and finally turned into calm.

Fang Ziheng waved his hand suddenly and asked the camera to take a close-up of Li Qin.

In an instant, Li Qin's eyes turned red, and tears filled her eyes as her husband screamed.

With her nose twitching, she calmed down again.

She knew the pain of debridement, the heartbreaking pain, which was enough to turn a strong-minded man into a weakling.

As a wife, Li Qin has personally watched it many times.

With her shoulders loosened, she tilted her head slightly and leaned against the wall behind her. The cold touch of the wall made her calmer.

She was almost numb.

In front of the monitor, Fang Ziheng stared at Li Qin in the close-up.

Three seconds later.

A trace of sadness appeared in this girl with oriental feminine beauty.

Heartbroken and desolate, Li Qin's haggard look was particularly pitiful at this moment, making people feel heartbroken just by looking at it.

"OK, passed!"

The scene was shot three times in a row, and this scene was easily completed.

There was not a single scene to the end, Li Qin was still young, and his acting skills were a bit disappointing, so he made up for it with two scenes in the end.

Fang Ziheng looked at the shot with satisfaction, picked up the trumpet and shouted.

"Everyone, take a break and continue filming in fifteen minutes."

"Thank you, director."

The actors breathed a sigh of relief, and their spirits instantly relaxed.

Scenes involving emotions are the most difficult to shoot. No matter how good your acting skills are, it will be useless if you don't care.

Li Qin patted his heart, straightened his slim waist and stood up. He came to Fang Ziheng and asked softly: "Director, how was my performance? Have I made any progress?"

"Um"

Fang Ziheng pretended to be thoughtful, and looked at Li Qin, who had not yet taken off her makeup, and looked like an icy beauty, and said: "There is some progress, but not much. You still have to work hard."

"I will, thank you director."

Hearing that he had made progress, Li Qin narrowed his eyes, raised his thin lips, and smiled as brightly as if he had eaten honey.

As long as there is progress, she must seize this opportunity.
