Entertainment, I just like making movies

………

May 10th.

After more than seven months of filming, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" finally has its final scene.

2 p.m.

At the entrance of a court in Jinling, a criminal vehicle stopped at the foot of the steps.

In the camera, Xu Zheng was wearing a yellow jacket, his hands were handcuffed, and he walked out of the court with a dejected look on his face.

Cao Bin, the uncle played by Lei Jiaying, followed Xu Zheng closely with his hands in his pockets, as if he was reluctant to leave and looking after him.

The camera slowly moved forward, giving the two of them a close-up.

Xu Zheng's face looked very vicissitudes of life, his chin and cheeks were covered with beard, and his whole person was full of negativity.

When he came to the torture car, he suddenly thought of something. He turned around and looked at Cao Bin, calmed down and said softly: "Tell Xiaoshu that his father is not a bad person."

"Um"

Cao Bin nodded silently. At this time, he didn't know how to face Xiao Shu and his own nephew.

"Thank you..."

Xu Zheng forced a smile, glanced at the sky above his head, turned around and boarded the torture car.

At this moment, he was suddenly relieved!

Although what he did violated national laws, it actually helped more than a thousand leukemia patients.

Peace of mind and no fear of the future.

He believed that his son would understand him as a father, and he would definitely do so.

boom.

The prison door was closed, and the hero Cheng Yong was arrested and imprisoned.

"Ka, okay, this period is over!"

"Take a break and start shooting in twenty minutes!"

In front of the monitor, Fang Ziheng checked it again, picked up the loudspeaker and shouted stop.

In the studio, everything suddenly turned from quiet to noisy.

The two field clerks trotted over, opened the torture car again, and fought for Xu to get out.

As soon as this guy came out, he muttered: "Director, I am considered to be in jail. I need to give you a red envelope, right?"

"It's not like I'm playing a corpse, I want a red envelope of wool!"

Fang Ziheng raised his head from the monitor, glanced at Xu Zheng, who looked like a different person, and cursed with a smile.

"Ha ha.."

The gathered crew members laughed loudly, packed up their things quickly, and moved to the scene with great enthusiasm.

Lei Jiaying took out a cigarette and lit it for Xu Zheng, and said cheerfully: "Director Xu, I think you should give out red envelopes to everyone?"

"Why?" Xu Zheng squinted and said angrily.

Lei Jiaying raised his eyebrows, looked at the long street outside the court, and said with reverence: "It's very simple. It will be a famous scene later. Thousands of patients send each other off, and tears are shed on the ten-mile long street, just to take a last look at their bodies." hero."

"Get out of here, uncle!"

Xu Zheng was so happy that he raised his foot and kicked him.

"hehe.."

Lei Jiaying smiled and ran away, not caring about Xu Zheng's actions at all.

Unlike other low-ranking actors, they had already filmed together on the set of "Nightclub" and had a good relationship at that time.

After joining Hengyu Media, Lei Jiaying quickly reconnected with Xu Zheng and established a good friendship.

Xu Zheng is famous for his ability to play.

One thing to say, in terms of the entertainment industry in the Magic City, among the big names currently living in the Magic City, Xu Zheng and Deng Chao are the two most successful.

Compared to Deng Chao, Xu Zheng is more talented as a director, and many celebrities in the city want to know and collaborate with him.

"Transition, transition!"

With a shout from the executive director of the crew, the plot of the God of Medicine ushered in its final transition.

Jinling old town, a street full of age.

On both sides of the street, tall banyan trees stand next to each other, covering the sky with green shade. Rows of houses from the 1980s and 1990s are hidden behind the banyan trees, showing the traces of time.

One p.m.

Countless extras wearing masks came to both sides of the street. Under the leadership of dozens of crew members, they rehearsed expressions such as concern, sadness, and tears.

Baba

Three vans passed by slowly, stopping at every street corner, and two young men carrying cameras got out of the van.

"Hey, what are they doing?"

"It's stupid. When making a movie, you must find a suitable camera location!"

"It's just that this street is so long, it would be difficult to capture it all without a dozen cameras."

"Don't worry, Fang Laoliu is absolutely professional in film, if nothing else!"

An assistant director rode an electric scooter back and forth to check. When he saw this scene, he cursed: "Stop talking and be serious!"

"You guys, hurry up and let the extras do a preview. It must include affection and reluctance."

"Assistant director, please rest assured, we will not let the chain slip!"

Both sides of the street were noisy.

It took a full two hours to completely solve the problem with the extras.

Half past three in the afternoon.

Under a banyan tree, Fang Ziheng sat in the director's chair, scanning the six monitors in front of him attentively until he was sure there was no problem.

"Everyone in your place!"

"Actors prepare!"

"Scene 120, first shot, start!"

Fang Ziheng gave an order, and the huge crew started running quickly.

Six monitors, two execution vehicles, two group performances, and two large panoramic views, one in front and one in the back.

Each monitor is divided into three camera positions, and a total of 12 cameras were used in this scene.

As the police car escorting Cheng Yong to serve his sentence came slowly, Fang Ziheng stood up suddenly and gave instructions with a walkie-talkie.

"Unit No. 1, No. 1, push up!"

"receive!"

In an instant, in front of the police car, the fixed camera position on the filming car moved, and the wide angle was stretched out, looking at the police car with a panoramic view.

The police cars were moving at a high speed with their blue lights flashing. On both sides of the street, there were densely packed leukemia patients wearing masks to see Cheng Yong off.

Five seconds later, Fang Ziheng gave the order again: "Seat No. 1 of Unit 2, give Xu Zheng a close-up!"

"receive!"

In the police car, Xu Zheng was wearing a yellow jacket and looking at the crowds on both sides of the car window in surprise.

Why are they here!

Xu Zheng turned around and sat sideways, staring blankly at the patients retreating outside the car window.

Silently, his heart warmed.

He lives up to his patients and everything is worth it!

Under the close-up shot, Xu Zheng's eyes gradually became moist, and a tear slipped from the corner of his eye.

A police officer in the front passenger seat felt deeply and couldn't help but remind his colleagues who were driving.

"Old Xu, drive slower!"

"I know."

Lao Xu nodded, changed the fifth gear to the fourth gear, and the vehicle speed changed from 60 mph to 45 mph.

The torture car advanced slowly, and six cameras flashed across the long street one by one, and finally returned to the male lead Xu Zheng.

At this time, Xu Zheng's face was filled with relief, his eyes were red, and more and more tears were falling, one by one.

"Cheng Yong, we are waiting for you!"

Someone shouted something, and the originally quiet patients on the street moved.

Thousands of people stepped onto the road, unanimously took off their masks to the police car, waved their arms and shouted at Xu Zheng.

"Cheng Yong, we are waiting for you!"

"Cheng Yong, we are waiting for you!"

Before the patients arrived, they all wore masks. Many of them did not know each other. They only had one identity, that is, patients and leukemia patients.

At this moment, when they take off their masks, in addition to being leukemia patients, they are also the ones who are grateful today.

The appearance of Cheng Yong gave hope and new life to their withering lives.

today

Cheng Yong was about to leave and was arrested and imprisoned.

The patients came with a tacit understanding, took off their masks to express their most sincere gratitude and gratitude to Cheng Yong, and asked him to take a look at the people he had helped.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Under the camera, some female patients covered their mouths and cried bitterly, with sad tears welling up in their eyes.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

More patients cried loudly. Even if their physical condition was not good, they still kept waving to the torture car.

The camera swept over one by one and returned to Xu Zheng again.

Tears had already blurred Xu Zheng's vision. He leaned his head against the car window and stared at the crowds on both sides of the street.

Sometimes the corners of his mouth were pursed, and sometimes they were raised. He was crying and laughing at the same time, and his heart was moved beyond measure.

Half an hour later.

Fang Ziheng picked up the trumpet and shouted loudly to the whole street: "I announce that "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is officially finished!"

"Oh yeah, it's done!"

"It's done, it's done!"

In the movie market from late April to early May, "My Deskmate" must be the most impressive.

The movie was released on April 25 and exceeded 110 million in the first three days of the weekend, laying the foundation for the small hit of youth movies.

It has to be said that the cooperation between Guangxian Media and Wanda Film and Television is awesome, and they made a low-cost movie into a dark horse.

On the Internet, although many viewers feel that the movie is just average, they cannot stand up to the boasting of the trolls and the glossy and pervasive propaganda.

In the second week, "My Deskmate" went a step further, earning 216 million in seven days, winning the weekly crown for two consecutive weeks and becoming the undisputed king of the May Day show.

The other film, "Frozen: Portal of Rebirth," did not fare so well.

Before the movie was released, the producers and distributors made various high-profile remarks, and the paid media even praised the movie as a fantasy blockbuster that is rare on earth and rare in heaven.

Relying on the reputation of Bao Qiang and Zhen Zhuan, a large number of unsuspecting audiences were attracted into the cinema.

In the first week, "Frozen: Gate of Rebirth" sold 70 million in three days, which is remarkable.

Then, there is no more!

In just a few days, countless bad reviews came out from all directions, and the film's reputation took a sharp turn.

As much as the media praised the movie before it was released, the audience complained about it after the movie was released.

Yes, the audience who discovered that they had been fooled spontaneously started to complain.

The film's producers, China-Mongolia Century, Xiying Group, and the investment company affiliated with the distributor International Division, saw something was wrong and immediately joined forces to spend money to control the review.

In this way, an extremely interesting scene appeared on the Internet.

On one side are the entertainment media, professional film critics, and trolls who claim to have watched the movie, praising the movie from multiple angles.

There is no way, after all, no matter how bad the movie is, professionals can make it look great if they want to.

On one side are the real audiences who couldn't bear it after being poisoned by the movie, and went to major film forums to vent their anger.

The director, starring actors, screenwriters, investors, the audience didn't spare any of them and cursed them all.

The Internet is so lively, with hot searches for eating melon popping up one after another.

On one side, there are experts and navy troops, and on the other side, there are many people and strength, and they have personally watched the movie, so what they say makes sense.

The two sides competed on keyboards in major forums, and no one could do anything about it.

It was not until the second week that "Frozen: Gate of Rebirth" only received 60 million at the box office in seven days, and the victory of this battle was tilted towards the audience.

Investors and issuers were the first to stop, and no longer paid for notoriety.

No one had any money, and the navy also followed suit.

Only a group of film review experts were left. Their faces were swollen but they still held on. In the end, they were beaten by the angry audience and retreated in despair.

In its third week, "Frozen: Gate of Rebirth" became the biggest plunge in Chinese film history. While there were more than 60 million box office receipts last week, it only received 4.36 million this week.

Can you believe it!

The previous week, there were 65.48 million in seven days, and it dropped to less than 5 million in just one week, not even a fraction.

When Fang Ziheng saw this news, even though he had experienced it in his previous life, he was still shocked and speechless.

It’s a bad movie, it’s a bad movie, it’s so bad!

at the same time.

The Hollywood blockbuster "The Amazing Spider-Man" was released, with only 61.4 million in its first week, barely able to withstand the pressure of "My Roommate".

But in its second week, the third week that "My Roommate" was released, the Hollywood blockbuster showed its horror.

In seven days, it went against the current and achieved a super high box office of 289 million.

The third week of "My Deskmate" was less than 80 million, and the low-cost production caused the movie to exhaust its potential early.

May 13th.

In the new week, Fang Ziheng returned to the imperial capital with the crew.

After the May Day holiday, the summer holiday is about to begin, and promotional posters for a number of big-release movies have been laid out at Imperial International Airport early.

At the end of this month, a very important Hong Kong movie will be released.

"Overheard 3", which is invested and controlled by Bona Pictures, was also used by Yu Dong as a precursor to Bona's listing.

Just 10 days ago, Fang Ziheng chatted with Yu Dong, and Hengyu Media completed its capital injection into Bona Pictures the next day.

Bona Pictures returned to A-shares, with a total valuation of 10 billion, public recruitment funds of 3 billion, Hengyu Media invested 1 billion, accounting for 10% of the shares, and has a director seat.

In addition to Hengyu, Tengxun and Wanda Film and Television also secured Yu Dong, investing one billion each at a premium to obtain 8% of Bona's shares.

At this point, Bona has completed the last round of IPO before listing, and the total valuation has risen to 15 billion.

Available on June 24th!

After returning to the imperial capital, Fang Ziheng rested at home for two days and immediately devoted himself to film editing work.

"I'm Not the God of Medicine" is scheduled to be released in July and cannot be delayed.

May 27th.

It took half a month for Fang Ziheng, Wen Muye, Xu Zheng, and the people in the Hengyu editing room to finally finalize the film.

In the afternoon of the same day, Hengyu Media sent "I'm Not the God of Medicine" to the General Administration in an effort to get it reviewed as soon as possible.

In the chairman's office.

Fumino slumped on the sofa and said with a worried look on his face: "Director, are we too hasty? I think it will be good to release it on National Day."

"That's right, director, there are only about forty days until July 10th. As long as the General Administration pinches the neck a little, the movie will be ready."

On the single-seater sofa nearby, Xu Zhengyi looked haggard and expressed his inner worries.

At the main seat, Fang Ziheng held a bowl of nourishing ginseng soup cooked by Lin Feifei and drank it happily without responding to the two people's concerns.

Why doesn't he know that time is urgent?

But there is no way!

"I'm Not the God of Medicine" is really not a movie suitable for National Day release. If it were moved to the National Day schedule, he was worried that it would be temporarily removed from the shelves.

Think about it, on a day when everyone in China is celebrating, a movie is released about the difficult life of leukemia patients who suffer from the disease.

When the time comes, whatever Heng Yu wants to do in the above sentence, whatever Fang Ziheng wants to do, then it’s over!

In a matter of minutes, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" will be mailed!

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to release it on National Day.

Another one, "Transformers 4" is coming, Fang Ziheng must do something and cannot let the other party do whatever they want.

This Hollywood blockbuster with the pinnacle of special effects is indeed the biggest enemy of Chinese-language movies this summer.

Looking around the entire entertainment and film industry, only the just-released "I'm Not the God of Medicine" can compete head-on.

Whether you call Fang Ziheng stupid or stunned, the release schedule of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" must not be changed!

The most important schedule for Chinese-language movies must not be allowed to be stepped on by a Hollywood movie.
