Entertainment, I just like making movies

“Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, and dogs travel hundreds of miles to eat shit!”

"The choice of movie schedule is entirely voluntary, and the quality of the movie is left to the market. Director Fan, what do you think?"

The calm voice rang out in the room, causing endless ripples in everyone's hearts.

Fang Ziheng faced Fan Luyuan and refused to give in!

The clear-cut attitude is not only positive but also refutes Zhang Hongsen's opening statement just now.

There are only so many good schedules, and you can't let everyone pass it up just because you are a state-owned enterprise and you are superior.

Unless, the movie produced by China Film is the main theme!

"hehe..!"

Fan Luyuan was startled, then laughed angrily: "Director Fang is so confident, isn't he afraid that his horse will stumble?"

"Of course I have confidence. My confidence comes from my sincerity for the film and from the unique production team of Hengyu Media.

Hengyu's purpose has always been to make outstanding contributions to Chinese-language films and create one high-quality content after another, which is fundamentally different from the shoddy works produced by some companies. "

Fang Ziheng spoke loudly, with a serious tone and a firm expression, not giving the other party any chance to take advantage of any loopholes.

The meaning of his words is very clear, high-quality movies are for grabs, and the hot schedules should be occupied by good movies.

If you, Alibaba Pictures, are really capable, just come up with blockbuster movies to compete in the arena, otherwise you can just sit back and relax!

"Okay, okay, let's wait and see!"

Fan Luyuan snorted lightly, said a harsh word, and then sat there indifferently.

He made up his mind that in this summer season, Ali must make Hengyu Media suffer, otherwise Ali's strength will not be shown!

At this time, Han Dong, who had never spoken, took off his glasses, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Okay, stop arguing."

Once he spoke, the effect was extraordinary.

Yu Dong immediately stopped looking at Fan Luyuan, sat down, took out a cigarette and lit it happily.

Fang Ziheng, Wang Zhongjun, and Wang Changtian leaned back slightly, showing a slight smile, and their original aggressive posture disappeared instantly.

Song Ge, Chen Wu, Gong Yu, Jia Yueting, Fu Meicheng, and Fu Ruoqing also breathed a sigh of relief.

Mom, it looks great when you fight!

Director Han put his hand on the conference room table, tapped the table with his knuckles, looked around, and said in a serious voice: "The companies of all of you here are either already listed or about to be listed. I understand everyone's thoughts. Good schedules can be given The movie is a great blessing. If the box office goes up, the market value of the company will also go up!"

"However, what Director Zhang just said is correct. In order to better utilize the strength of the first film, it is necessary to negotiate the schedule. At least it can avoid the conflict between the two tigers!"

As he said that, Director Han gave Fang Ziheng a look with inexplicable meaning.

That's like saying: That's alright, temper your edge and don't bully newbies all the time.

Fang Ziheng: "."

Fan Luyuan is not a newcomer to the film industry, he is a serious upstart, the fierce Yapi!

Of course!

Director Han stated that he must give face!

Today's meeting is originally to discuss the movie schedule. No matter what, the superficial harmony must be maintained!

"Come on, let's talk about the summer schedule. What movies will everyone be releasing this year!"

Director Han spoke up again, asking everyone to report the movies to be released first.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Dong smiled.

The guy lightly hammered the table and said: "Everyone, Bona will be the one to introduce this year's summer movie. It is produced by Bona Pictures Group and written and directed by Hong Kong directors Mak Zhaohui and Zhuang Wenqiang.

The crime drama "Overheard 3" starring Liu Qingyun, Louis Koo, Wu Yanzu, Zhou Gongzi, Ye Xuan, Huang Lei, Chen Jiajun and other actors will be released on May 29. "

After finishing speaking, Yu Dong looked at Fan Luyuan specifically and asked with amusement in his eyes: "Director Fan, this schedule shouldn't be a benefit, right?"

The annual summer season starts in mid-June, with June being the first stage, July being the most popular, and August being the second half.

"Overheard 3" was released on May 29, occupying at most one month in June. I really can't say how good this schedule is.

Yu Dong made it clear that he wanted to slap Fan Luyuan in the face and tell him with facts how ridiculous his previous sarcasm was.

Then only Fang Ziheng knew that "Overheard 3" really made a good deal.

According to the imported film schedule disclosed by China Film Group a few days ago, there is only one Hollywood movie that can be called a hit in May.

"X-Men: Days of Future Past" was released on May 23. The box office trend of this movie in its previous life was similar to that of "The Overheard".

Entering June, only "Godzilla", released on June 13, is relatively good.

"Edge of Tomorrow" and "The Breakup Master" were originally scheduled to be released in June, but Fang Ziheng released the two movies in advance, leaving "The Overheard" without two rivals.

Unless, China Film Group arranges the release of "Transformers 4" in advance!

This is almost impossible. Based on the awesomeness of "Transformers 3", China Film Group definitely wants to release the fourth part in July and raking in the box office.

Sure enough, just when Fang Ziheng was thinking secretly.

Zhang Hongsen, who was sitting upright in front, moved his body and coughed slightly to attract everyone's attention.

"Director Yu has chosen this schedule well. To be honest, this year's "Transformers 4" is coming in a big way. After discussing with Director Han, I plan to have the movie released on June 27. Everyone knows the strength of this movie, with a box office of 1 billion. end!"

After saying this, Zhang Hongsen paused, looked at the CEOs and directors of the film and television companies, and said with a smile: "China Film is honest and honest, I just hope that the movie released by everyone here will not be like "Transformers 4". , of course, if anyone really wants to give it a try, Lao Zhang, I’m looking forward to it!”

Damn it!

Bringing foreign films to intimidate domestic films, what a fool!

In the conference room, a group of people rolled their eyes when they heard this, and they all secretly scolded Zhang Hongsen for pulling the skin of a tiger to pull the flag!

For those who didn’t know, I thought “Transformers 4” was invested and controlled by China Film Group Corporation!

However, there are no eggs!

Everyone was dissatisfied but did not dare to take any action.

Wang Zhongjun, Wang Changtian, Song Ge and others frowned and remained silent.

They know the strength of the "Transformers" series, which has already proven to be a hit in the mainland market.

The total box office of the third part is 1.07 billion, and the fourth part is probably 12.3 billion at least!

Zhang Hongsen is so cunning that he chose June 27th, which is equivalent to taking the entire month of July!

With the power of "Transformers 4", few directors of Chinese-language films dare to collide head-on with it!

Thinking of this, everyone's hearts moved and they all looked at Fang Ziheng again.

Director Fang!

They asked for the best summer schedule, what do you think?

I sit and watch!

Facing everyone's looks, Fang Ziheng was speechless and couldn't help but feel angry!

The good domestic protection month was torn open by Zhang Hongsen.

"Transformers 4" has a box office of more than 1.23 billion!

In its previous life, the film grossed an astonishing 1.82 billion at the box office in the mainland market. Not only did it crush domestic films, it also regained the top box office ranking in Chinese film history!

In this life, although "囧" and "Tang Detective 2" broke the 1.8 billion limit first, but what the heck, the two movies have already been released.

Now we are talking about summer movies. If you want to defend this year's summer movies, you must put forward a movie that can compete with "Transformers"!

Fucked!

Fang Ziheng cursed secretly, frowned, and quickly thought about what to do.

Give Zhang Hongsen a favor and let him lead a blockbuster Hollywood movie?

Still, just like "Havoc in Heaven" was cut off during the Spring Festival, "Transformers 4" was also cut off!

It’s hard to do, it’s hard to do!

"What, what does Director Fang mean? Do you want the movie produced by Hengyu to be released on the same schedule as "Transformers 4"?"

Just when Fang Ziheng was in a dilemma, Jia Yueting, who was not worried, smiled and cast a look at the show.

Everyone also looked expectantly, staring closely at Fang Ziheng, whose face was as deep as water, wanting to see how he would make a decision.

They have no doubt that Fang Ziheng has a work that can compete head-on with "Transformers 4".

I heard that more than half of the filming of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has been completed!

At the left side of the conference room table, Kang Di raised his eyebrows, opened his mouth, and stopped trying to stop Fang Ziheng.

In any case, "Transformers 4" is not "Havoc in Heaven", it is a Hollywood movie through and through.

China Film imports Hollywood movies for distribution, and the share ratio is also calculated based on net box office.

After deducting a 5% film fund and a 3.3% tax, China Film can share 17% of the net box office revenue in the mainland, and theater chains and theater palaces share 48%.

Hollywood producers can share 35% of the revenue.

For imported films released in the mainland, the promotion and distribution costs have always been borne by the distributor, which is China Film.

This also means that as long as it is a movie imported by China Film Group, if it is a hit, it will be released with all its strength.

When movies were introduced back then, the purpose was to use imported movies to revitalize the half-dead movie market, and then use the proceeds to support the development of domestic movies.

Now!

Well, this is also the purpose now and it has never changed!

A large part of the funding source for many domestic films invested by China Film Group comes from the revenue sharing of imported films.

In Kang Yan's opinion, it would be better if Fang Ziheng really makes a movie that can overwhelm "Transformers 4".

At the very least, he is not the only one who failed at China Film!

Lao Zhang also counts.

Thinking about it, Kang Yu looked at Zhang Hongsen opposite!

Hey, Lao Zhang, what’s wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly!

To the right in front, Zhang Hongsen had a gloomy face and lowered his head slightly, suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart.

Fang Ziheng's silence seemed to him like he was ignorant of praise!

I have already told everyone the schedule of "Transformers 4" frankly, and you are still refusing to let me know.

What's wrong!

You really want to make another mid-image!

Everyone looked at Fang Ziheng at this time, and did not notice Zhang Hongsen's gloomy expression.

Including Director Han, everyone in the conference room slowed down their breathing and waited quietly for Fang Ziheng to express his position.

July is the best two or three movie schedules in the whole year!

Fang Ziheng, are you really willing to give up?

A good while.

Fang Ziheng's eyebrows stretched, and he smiled leisurely when everyone looked at him: "What's wrong with you all? I was just thinking about which movie can drive the stock price more when Hengyu Interactive Entertainment goes public in April."

call.

There were loud gasping sounds in the meeting.

Especially Zhang Hongsen, whose gloomy expression suddenly changed, revealing a smile that suited him.

OK!

It's better to be more harmonious, and we can all discuss and decide the schedule.

He seemed to lower his gaze just now, but he saw everyone's expressions in his eyes.

Kang Yan's slightest movement was also caught in his eyes.

Hum!

Lao Kang, Lao Kang, you still want me to follow in your footsteps, you want me to die!

The second-in-command of China Film Group was completely relaxed. He picked up the cigarette on the table and lit the second one leisurely.

Fan Luyuan and Jia Yueting looked disdainful and squinted at Fang Ziheng.

That’s it!

Aren't you awesome?

Now I'm scared, if I have the ability to fight "Transformers 4"!

As if he heard what the two of them were thinking, Fang Ziheng's expression calmed down again after he smiled.

He stared at the three leaders in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Director Han, Director Kang, Director Zhang, July is the month for the protection of domestic films. It is one of the best periods for our mainland films. We really shouldn't let a Hollywood film go unchecked." .”

"Oh, what do you think, Director Fang?" Director Han asked softly with a deep look in his eyes.

Kang Yi and Zhang Hongsen also looked over quickly with their eyes moving.

Facing the probing looks of the three people, especially Zhang Hongsen's surprised look, Fang Ziheng said decisively: "I directed "I'm Not the God of Medicine" to be completed at the end of May. I'm going to premiere it in the summer?"

"What time?" Han Dong frowned and asked first.

"July 7th!"

Fang Ziheng said the two same numbers word for word.

boom..

Two concise and identical numbers are like a blockbuster, a heavy hammer that hits everyone's hearts hard.

Everyone stared at that outstanding figure with widened eyes.

He really dares!

I really want to challenge "Transformers 4" head-on and compete with this movie that is destined to be a blockbuster!

No one thinks that Fang Ziheng delayed the schedule by ten days because he was afraid of "Transformers 4". They even thought that he was giving face to Zhang Hongsen and China Film.

After all, "Tang Detective 2" and "Havoc in Heaven" were released at the same time. Although "Tang Detective 2" is a sequel, it was not directed by Fang Ziheng himself.

"I'm Not the God of Medicine" was directed by Fang Ziheng himself. The last theme film he directed, "The Founding of an Army", sold 1.5 billion yuan.

The costume blockbuster "The Great Wall", which was not directed by Sang Shang, sold a total of 1.7 billion in the mainland and more than 400 million US dollars worldwide.

Awesome, Lao Fang!

At this moment, no matter it is Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, Song Ge and several friends and businessmen.

Chen Wu, Gong Yu, and Fu Meicheng, several newcomers to the film industry, all looked at Fang Ziheng with admiration.

Looking at the entire Chinese film industry, only Fang Ziheng has the courage and strength to try his hand at the Hollywood blockbuster "Transformers 4".

Wang Zhongjun, Wang Changtian, and Song Ge even secretly decided to move their own movies farther away, determined not to get involved with these two evil tigers.

Even Fan Luyuan and Jia Yueting, although they wished that "I'm Not the God of Medicine" would hit the street and be rubbed on the ground by "Transformers 4", they had to admire Fang Ziheng's courage and pride.

Even though he knew how powerful his opponent was, he still went against the grain.

Fan Luyuan stared at Fang Ziheng, and couldn't help but admire this opponent in his heart, as if he saw himself back then.

In those years, just like Fang Ziheng today, he faced various difficulties from the bank and rose to the occasion to lead Alipay to a new era.

Admired as he was, Fan Luyuan was also determined to get a first-hand Hengyu.

"Transformers 4" is an excellent opportunity.

"Ten days, ten days!"

Dong Han whispered softly, murmuring and tapping the table with his hand.

Soon, he looked at Zhang Hongsen and asked, "Old Zhang, what do you think?"

What this means is that you are the leader of "Transformers 4". What do you think about the ten-day delay in the release of "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

Zhang Hongsen took a deep breath from the cigarette, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I think it's okay. Hollywood movies have an inertia. They explode one week, then dive half way in the second week, and half the time again in the third week!"

"Ten days are enough for "Transformers 4" to achieve a good box office. Director Fang, I, Mr. Zhang, want to thank you!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Hongsen smiled slightly at Fang Ziheng, satisfied that the other party had given him face.

Previously, he and his subordinates had made serious predictions about "Transformers 4", and they both believed that the total box office of the movie would be between 1.2 billion and 1.3 billion, with 1.4 billion being the top.

As for Fang Ziheng's movies, the lowest since "Edge of Tomorrow" has a box office of 1.4 billion.

The other party's move really gave him a big face, Lao Zhang, and this favor must be honored.

After receiving the goodwill from Zhang Hongsen, Fang Ziheng handed it over and continued: "Based on the listing of Hengyu Interactive Entertainment, I still have two movies to be released in the summer.

Directed by Su Lun and starring Zheng Kai, Song Yi, Yang Mi, and Li Qin, "Youth Campus 2" will be released on June 12th at the beginning of the summer season.

"Tiny Times 3", produced by Wen Mino and directed by Guo Jinming, will be released on July 28. "

After setting the schedule for "I'm Not the God of Medicine," Fang Ziheng then announced the release times of two more movies.

Showcase the strength of Hengyu Media!
