Entertainment, I just like making movies

Before you know it, the National Day holiday is here.

The third film released by Hengyu Interactive Entertainment after its listing, "Xiu Chun Dao 2" ushered in its premiere.

September 30th.

At the Hengyu Cinema flagship store in Dongzhimen, the Imperial Capital, the flow of people has increased since the afternoon.

As the evening approached, the CEOs and senior executives of major film and television companies who had nothing to do, and some people in the film industry were basically there.

This time, Fang Ziheng did not serve as a guest. He came late and gave up his seat to Andy and Mo Xiangwan.

The market value of Hengyu Interactive Entertainment has stabilized at 100 billion, making it a giant in the industry. Two female players, Andy and Mo Xiangwan, have also frequently appeared in the entertainment media, and they are very powerful.

Fang Ziheng deliberately separated the connection between Hengyu headquarters and Hengyu Interactive Entertainment, reduced the exposure of Hengyu headquarters to the public, and took a low-key route.

But because of the fame, the low-key effect is very poor, and everyone in the industry understands it.

"Welcome, welcome, Mr. Song, please come in!"

"Director Chen, you are finally here!"

"Mr. Wang, please come here. Why didn't Director Wang come?"

At around six o'clock in the evening, when Fang Ziheng and Liu Qianqian entered the venue, they saw Mo Xiangwan, Wen Muye and four emcees standing outside the gate of the cinema acting as door gods.

As soon as he saw him, Mo Xiangwan complained and gritted his teeth: "Hey, isn't this the chairman? I thought you weren't coming?"

"No way, I told Lao Wen a long time ago that I will definitely come tonight."

Fang Ziheng pretended not to notice Mo Meiren's resentment, happily took the water-based pen handed over by the emcee, and signed his name in the signature book.

I don’t know what’s wrong?

Ever since he transferred Mo Xiangwan to Hengyu Interactive Entertainment as the president, this beauty had developed an opinion about him and disliked him.

Fang Ziheng was puzzled and could only attribute it to the fact that he was too handsome, which aroused Mo Meiren's girlish thoughts.

swipe

After Long Feifengwu signed his name, Fang Ziheng patted Mo Xiangwan on the shoulder and said warmly: "Let's go in together. Lao Wen can guard it alone."

As he said that, he ignored Fumino's confused expression and walked into the movie theater with Liu Qianqian on his arm.

Wen Muye looked at the boss's back and said with a pout, "Mr. Mo, why don't you go in first? It's too hot outside. You're a girl..."

"That's good, thank you for your hard work, Director!"

Mo Xiangwan nodded slightly, flipped up his hair, turned around and followed Fang Ziheng and Liu Qianqian.

Fumino: "."

Interesting? Is this interesting?

How shameful that he, a great director, has fallen to this level!

While thinking about it, Wen Muye thought of Hao Yi, the director of "Xiu Chun Knife 2". He had to kill him, otherwise his thoughts would not be clear!

At seven o'clock sharp, the premiere begins.

Accompanied by endless applause, Hao Yi, the director of "Xiu Chun Dao 2", took the stage with all the main creators.

"Master, master!"

"Brother Chao, Brother Chao!"

The enthusiastic shouts made the atmosphere particularly lively.

Among the film creators, the most popular ones are Deng Chao and Liu Shishi. Most of the audience coming tonight are their fans.

"Xiu Chun Dao II: Shura Battlefield" is an annual martial arts blockbuster produced by Hengyu Media, with Wanda Film and Television participating in 20% investment, and Hengyu Interactive Entertainment and Beidou Seven Stars.

Hengyu contracted director Hao Yi to direct, Lao Mouzi to produce, Sang Lin to direct the art, and Fang Ziheng, Lu Yang, and Meng Ruishenji to screenwriter.

Deng Chao, Liu Shishi, Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin, Xin Zhilei, Jin Shijie and other actors performed together.

The film tells the story of Shen Lian, the Jinyi guard of Fusi in North Town, who was involved in a conspiracy in the investigation of the case seven years from tomorrow. In order to prove his innocence, he teamed up with the girl Beizhai and his colleague Pei Lun to find out the truth.

Fang Ziheng watched the finished film a few days ago. Compared with the original version of the previous life, it retains the fighting advantages of the original version and enhances the logic and richness of the picture.

How should I put it? For martial arts movies based on real dynasties, the plot logic and visual sense are particularly important. They cannot be skipped or have big loopholes.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s thick pictures or a depressing and tense atmosphere. As long as you control the explosion and tension of the action scenes, you can elicit the audience’s emotions smoothly, making them feel very satisfying.

After the excitement is over, when the audience reflects on the plot, the first thing that catches their memory is the heavy scenes. The memorable scenes can become the cornerstone of the movie's reputation.

At 7:30 in the evening, after a long chat, the main actor of the movie came on stage.

The movie starts showing.

In the second row of the audience, Liu Qianqian leaned against Fang Ziheng, glanced at Master Liu who was walking off the stage, and said softly: "My dear, wasn't Tiezi starring in the first one?"

"Well, Tiezi has two movies in the first half of this year. In the second half of the year, he will join the cast of "Immortal", giving up the heroine of "Xiu Chun Dao 2"."

Fang Ziheng smiled slightly and pinched the young lady's pink nose to dispel her doubts.

"Oh, that's it!" Liu Qianqian blinked and bumped her lover's shoulder to express her understanding.

The leading female lead in "Xiu Chun Dao 2" and the leading female lead in "Immortal", Liu Shishi received two major resources as soon as she came to Hengyu, which made her have to think more.

As the movie reached 18 minutes, Liu Shishi, dressed in blue and white, appeared on the scene, instantly attracting the eyes of the boys in the screening hall.

Liu Qianqian clearly felt that the lover next to her moved. She turned her eyes and found that her lover was staring at the big screen with admiration in his eyes.

On the big screen, Liu Shishi, dressed in green and white, holding an ancient umbrella, came to Deng Chao, who played Shen Lian.

The gait, style, and temperament are impeccable, and the costumed Liu Shishi is even better than the original Yang Xuejian.

Especially the pure and soft aura between the eyebrows, it has the charm of Ruoxi in "Bu Bu Jing Xin".

Hokusai in Hanfu is more beautiful and pitiful than Ruoxi.

"Beautiful, isn't it?"

"It's pretty average."

Fang Ziheng kept his eyes open, put his arms around the little sister's slim waist, and said duplicity.

snort..

Liu Qianqian snorted softly and pinched him with her bare hands.

Okay, the little sister is jealous!

Fang Ziheng had to look away and said to the young lady in a low voice: "You can't blame me. To be wise is to be pretty and filial. It is indeed the right role for Liu Shishi to play Hokusai. It is brilliant."

"It's not serious. She is clearly wearing a green shirt." Liu Qianqian was stunned for a moment, then thought of something and let out a sigh.

"Wearing white clothes underneath can show off your figure better."

Fang Ziheng muttered, seeing that the young lady was going to kill him again, he quickly shook his head and said, "No matter how you dress, I can't compare to you, Sissi, in my heart."

"Sissi's costume appearance is a first-class beauty."

Liu Qianqian loosened her fingers and sent you a knowing look.

She let go of Fang Ziheng, sat down in her original position, and watched the movie with peace of mind.

Unfortunately, Fang Ziheng was already provoked and wanted to continue to delve into the topic.

He leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Sissi, is your ruthlessly gorgeous red robe still there?"

"Yes, it was previously placed in the duplex building. After moving into Heng Palace, I asked Xiaonan to move all these costumes there!"

Liu Qianqian crossed her legs, stared at the big screen and answered casually.

"Then put on that big red robe tonight."

"Don't do it, don't even think about it."

"Don't think too much, I just want to compare, who has more advantage in wearing ancient costumes, you or Master Liu?"

Fang Ziyi was serious and deliberately stabbed Liu Shishi.

Liu Qianqian took a breath, her eyes twinkled, and she hesitated: "Come on, I don't know you yet!"

"Come on, wear it again!"

"No, she is wearing a green shirt, and mine is a red robe. There is no comparison!"

"This is easy to handle. Wu Qing also has a scholar's uniform. Let's try both tonight."

At around eleven o'clock, the thank you dinner ended.

In the master bedroom on the second floor of Heng Palace, Liu Qianqian put on light makeup and put on the ruthlessly gorgeous red costume dress from "Four Famous Catchers 1".

She stood in front of the mirror, slowly turned around in the mirror, and looked at the only man in the bedroom with her beautiful eyes.

"Husband, am I better-looking or Master Liu?"

"It's beautiful. Of course our Sissi is even more beautiful."

Fang Ziheng felt hot in his heart. He stepped forward and helped the young lady's hair, picked up a jade hairpin from the dressing table and inserted it into it.

"Madam, it's getting late, let's take a rest!"

The seven-day National Day holiday is here, and the film market is ushering in another wave of excitement after being quiet in September.

"Spring Knife 2" sold 69 million on its first day, taking the lead on the National Day. Although it was not a huge hit, it took the lead to stabilize its position with its superb reputation.

In the following six days, the single-day box office continued to maintain a high level of 70 million to 80 million, and the total box office once reached 530 million.

Liu Shishi, the female lead, also successfully broke into the film industry with the role of Hokusai. Her little lion said that her first scene after joining Hengyu was smooth.

Yes, it is victory!

Those little lions, under the rhythm of Yang Xue meeting fans, have already regarded Liu Qianqian as the biggest obstacle to their idol career.

In the eyes of the little lions, Liu Shishi joined Hengyu just to steal Liu Qianqian's resources.

The two have similar styles, and they must kill their opponents to reach the top!

In addition to "Xiu Chun Knife 2", this year's National Day release also has a movie with explosive reputation, "Dear" directed by Chen Kexin.

The film tells a very touching story based on real events and the search for an abducted child.

"Dear" was released on September 30, with 18 million on the first day, which seems a bit low.

However, the number soared to 39 million on the National Day, and the single-day box office on October 2 and 3 was pushed to 45 million.

After the seven-day holiday, the total box office of "Dear" successfully exceeded 300 million, becoming the only dark horse during the National Day.

The popularity and topics on the Internet are not inferior to the National Day champion "Xiu Chun Dao 2", and it has the potential to surpass it.

There is no way, "Xiu Chun Knife 2" did not become a big hit. Once the seven-day holiday is over, the box office trend will definitely plummet.

The mere second part is not enough to push this series into the 1 billion box office club. In the eyes of the public and entertainment media, it is comparable to "Dear".

In fact, because of its subject matter, "Dear" is even more popular among the media!

October 10th.

Oriental Pearl New Media Group went public, and Fang Ziheng arrived in Shanghai on a newly ordered special plane to attend the listing bell.

At the same time, Alibaba Pictures benefited from its control over the distribution of "Dear" and successfully listed it in Shanghai by capitalizing on the movie's popularity.

For a time, two companies, one big and one small, Oriental Pearl Media and Alibaba Film and Television came into public view.

Oriental Pearl New Media is the most arrogant, with a total market value exceeding 150 billion on the day of listing. Alibaba Pictures is a few steps behind, with a total market value of just over 30 billion, which is the same as Bona, which was listed in June.

In Chinese film and television, the first echelon is always Hengyu Interactive Entertainment, with a total market value of 109.5 billion, which is about to exceed 110 billion.

Huayi Brothers, the second echelon, has a total market value of 76 billion and is expected to exceed 80 billion by the end of the year.

The third echelon is Guangxian, Bona, Huace, Hengdian Film and Television, and Alibaba Pictures.

Guangxian has the highest market value of 38 billion, while Bona and Alibaba Pictures have the lowest market value, one is 31 billion and the other is 30.8 billion.

However, the reputation of "Dear" continues to grow, and the total box office of 500 million is not a problem, and Alibaba Pictures' market value will also see new growth.

Mid-October.

Hengyu Media Group announced that the Eastern classical mythology blockbuster "Immortality" will hold a launch conference on October 16 at the Hengyu Sanqingshan Film and Television Base in Yuzhang Province.

As soon as this news came out, the entertainment media, people in the film industry, and fans of Fang Ziheng instantly became excited.

The bosses of major film and television companies also turned their attention away from the National Day movie market, dug out the invitation letter sent by Hengyu a few days ago, and brought their thoughts to "Immortal", a movie with a total investment of 600 million yuan. Come up.

October 14th at 3pm.

Fang Ziheng's special plane arrived in Yuzhang, and second-level leaders of the provincial government and SR municipal government personally picked him up.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the special planes of Wanda Wang Jianlin and Tengxun Shenchengma landed in Changcheng, Yuzhang.

After a short rest, a long line of government vehicles drove out from the airport and drove straight to the Hengyu Media Sanqingshan Film and Television Base on the highway.

In the middle of the motorcade, on top of a Coaster, the deputy manager of the provincial government, the secretary-general, Fang Ziheng, Wang Jianlin, and Shencheng Ma were talking and laughing along the way.

With the launch of "Immortal" this time, the Yuzhang Provincial Government took the initiative to contact Hengyu, Wanda, and Tengxun, three major companies, to prepare to increase investment in the Sanqingshan Film and Television Base.

At present, the second phase of the film and television base project is completed, with Hengyu and Wanda investing a total of 15 billion yuan.

The subsequent third and fourth phases of the project will cost at least tens of billions.

The Yuzhang Provincial Government is very ambitious and is preparing for a second expansion in the fourth phase of the project, with an investment increase of 20 billion, aiming to create a film, television and tourism industry chain with a total investment of nearly 60 billion and an output value of over 100 billion.

As the foundation of China's industrial film system, the Hengyu Film and Television Base is built entirely in accordance with the highest international standards. The shooting configurations for mythology, fairy tales, science fiction, martial arts, and fantasy are no worse than those of Hollywood.

If it can really expand a second time and integrate film and television production, tourism, hotels, catering, and various entertainment supporting facilities, then Hengyu Sanqingshan Film and Television Base will completely surpass Hengdian Film and Television City and become the world's top film and television tourism base.

Wanda is one of the shareholders of the film and television base. Teng Xun was also included in the investment list by the Yuzhang Provincial Government because he jointly controlled the first part of "Immortal".

In the car, after listening to the secretary-general's introduction, Fang Ziheng and Wang Jianlin didn't speak in time and fell into a brief thought.

Shencheng Ma's eyes shone brightly. When he heard that he had the opportunity to pay for the ticket and get on the train, he agreed without thinking: "Sheng Wang, Secretary-General, 20 billion, right? No problem. Teng Xun can handle half of the investment, and only needs 10% of the total equity." 15%!”

As soon as these words came out, both the provincial deputy manager and the secretary-general laughed. Neither of them expected Shencheng Ma to be so happy.

As expected, those in the Internet business are all big investors, and they wiped out 1.666% of their shares as soon as they opened their mouth.

The two leaders thought wrong, or did not know the Internet well enough, and failed to understand Shencheng Ma's urgent thoughts.

In Shenchengma’s view, investing in a film and television base city is far more than just building the Tengxun entertainment industry.

As the dominant Internet company in China, Tengxun has certain inherent development limitations, and the government will not allow it to invest in industry.

Over the years, although there has been no clear policy, it has secretly given a red line to the entrepreneurialization of the Internet.

Don't step on the line, take care of your Internet!

The invitation from the Yuzhang government can be said to be exactly what Teng Xun wanted. Not to mention investing 10 billion for only 15% of the shares, he would agree even if it was only 10%.

If you really want to invest in Hengyu Sanqingshan Film and Television Base, you can invest in Hengdian, Xiangshan and other film and television cities by turning back to Tengxun.

With the size of Tengxun, it can spend hundreds of billions and occupy the chokehold of the front-line production field in the Chinese film and television industry in minutes.

By then, whoever wants to make movies or TV series will have to avoid Tengxun Entertainment. Endless content will be presented in front of the big entertainment groups to dazzle them.

At this time, Wang Jianlin came to his senses and muttered: "Both leaders, it doesn't matter if you increase investment. As long as there are enough people near the film and television city, Wanda can even drive Wanda Plaza there!"

"However, this matter cannot be decided on the head. It needs to be considered in the long term. It will depend on the situation when the third and fourth phases of the project are launched."

Lao Wang’s meaning is very simple. If you really want to start something, there is no problem in investing, and Wanda is not short of money.

But you can’t just make a decision based on your head. You must do a preliminary investigation and expand investment depending on the situation.

Fang Ziheng also nodded and agreed with Lao Wang's statement.

The Yuzhang Provincial Government may have already made preliminary investigations and plans, but since Hengyu and Wanda are investing big money, it’s better to be cautious.

Another thing is that in the subsequent third and fourth phases of the project, Hengyu will have to invest another 5 billion, and Wanda will also have to invest another 3 billion.

Including the land and funds provided by the Yuzhang Provincial Government, the total cost of the fourth phase of the project is as high as 35 billion.

35 billion is already the size of a very large film and television base.

To be honest, there is no need to expand further!

The key point is still the core question raised by Lao Wang, whether the flow of people nearby can increase.

Having said this, the two leaders understood their concerns and waved their hands to indicate that there was no rush and that it would be okay to wait.

Only Shencheng Ma's heart felt cold, he opened his mouth to speak but stopped, and finally turned into a slight sigh.

Alas, I can’t even spend the money!

The next day.

Fang Ziheng and his party rested one night at the tourist resort at the foot of Sanqing Mountain and arrived at the film and television base construction park in the morning.

"Dear leaders, Directors Fang, Wang, and Ma, please take a look. This is the No. 10 large-scale studio, with a total area of ​​more than 48,000 square meters. It is also the world's largest diversified studio, which can satisfy myths, fairy tales, The four major themes of science fiction and costume require large-scale scenery for any large-scale production and large-scale scenes!”

In addition to the physical buildings, there are five large and medium-sized studios in the two phases of the project built in advance. The No. 10 large-scale studio is the treasure of the entire project and the technological crystallization of China's industrial film system.

The entire studio is 200 meters long, 80 meters wide and 30 meters high, which is almost the total area of ​​seven football fields.

In front of everyone, Wang Peng, the head of Hengyu Film and Television Base, pointed to the well-arranged shooting scene and said confidently: "Everyone, please look, this is the shooting set for a big scene in the movie "Immortal". It can accommodate Tens of thousands of people filmed together to achieve multi-track, multi-image 3D real-life shooting. It was also equipped with covered sound pickup, soundproof doors, and a multi-functional special effects and picture studio."

Although the two leaders, Wang Jianlin and Shen Chengma didn't know much about making movies, they were still very interested in seeing such advanced shooting equipment. They asked the accompanying crew members about this and that to satisfy their curiosity.

Fang Ziheng took Sang Lin and Wu Ershan through the front door passage and entered the internal filming studio, doing inspection work with great interest.

"Lao Sang, how are you?"

"High-end, too high-end. This kind of shooting location was something I had never dreamed of using when I was studying in Hollywood."

Sang Lin touched it here and knocked it there, praising it with emotion.

Assistant director Wu Ershan simply burst into laughter and looked at the huge shooting space inside with bright eyes.

"Perfect, so perfect!"

With this large studio, the movie "The Legend of the Gods" that I had been dreaming about finally came to fruition.

He has wanted to shoot a mythological subject for a long time, but he has never found a suitable opportunity.

Now, the opportunity was in front of him and he couldn't miss it.
