Entertainment, I just like making movies

Until the end of the launch conference, Fang Ziheng did not propose.

Even though the tourists were shouting hoarse, he just didn't take action and repeatedly jumped around to engage in ambiguity.

It gives the impression that he is an old scumbag!

The young lady next to me also breathed a sigh of relief. After ignoring the expectations in her heart, she understood that today's occasion was not appropriate.

A surprise attack without any preparation. Should she agree or not?

Fortunately, the lover was not fooled!

When she came off the stage, she glanced at the cold-faced Yang Xuejian. She was in a good mood for no reason. She was so happy!

She could feel that Fang Ziheng cared about her, very much.

At the opening banquet, guests and media reporters were divided into two halls.

Fang Ziheng went to the reporters and toasted with a glass of wine, thanking them for coming all the way to support him.

"Thank you for your help. The crew has prepared some local specialties from Yuzhang and Sanqingshan. You must bring them with you when you leave."

"Thank you, Director Fang, for your hard work!"

Ten tables of people, and about fifty major entertainment media outlets, all stood up and drank from the glasses together.

The reporters had long known about Fang Ziheng's generosity, and would never let them leave empty-handed at every press conference.

Red envelopes, lunches, and small gifts can always prick their minds. They come in joy and return with a full load.

After exchanging a few words, Fang Ziheng was ready to leave.

The reporter from Tengxun Entertainment suddenly thought of something and took two steps forward to stop him and hesitated: "Director Fang, what do you think of "Legend of the Gods"?"

What the hell?

Legend of the Gods!

Fang Ziheng was slightly stunned, wondering why the reporter from Tengxun Entertainment asked this?

Immediately, he reacted and remembered the Leizhenzi family's money laundering movie in his previous life.

Apparently, the business card is called "Legend of the Gods"!

Other reporters also became interested and gathered around. Some reporters with sensitive tactility even carried cameras.

"Director Fang, I wanted to ask this question before. "Legend of the Gods" is said to be a large-scale production of Eastern mythology produced by Huaguoxing with huge investment. Bona and Huayi also participated in the investment."

The reporter from Sohu Entertainment relied on his strong connections to push his colleagues from Imperial Entertainment away and came to Fang Ziheng and asked.

Then, there was a flurry of discussion.

The reporters told Fang Ziheng one by one what they had learned about on their platform, and then asked him for his opinion.

After all, "Immortality" is also based on Eastern mythology, and it is likely that the two movies will be released very close to each other.

In this way, the two movies naturally conflict with each other, and the audience will definitely want to compare them together!

In fact, as early as when Hengyu announced the "Immortality" project, people in the industry were already aware of it.

Hua Guoxing was planning to follow suit and invest in a big-budget mythical movie. At that time, everyone just thought Xiang Jia was interested in the mainland film market and did not pay much attention to it.

Until recently, with the announcement of the launch of "Immortal", some media on the Internet reported about "Legend of the Gods".

Only then did people in the industry discover that Hua Guoxing was real, and his hands were very fast, and they wanted to follow suit to the end.

Judging from the announced cast, the investment is indeed huge. Jie Ge, Liang Jiahui, Fan Bingjie, Huang Xiaoming, Gu Tianle, Wen Zhang, almost everyone is a big star.

Some people even say that "Legend of the Gods" is a benchmark for "Immortal". With the huge IP of "Fengshen" as its backing, the film has full potential and is expected to be a hit.

Only Fang Ziheng knows that, to be honest, "Legend of the Gods" is not a movie at its core. Even the leading actor is a gimmick brought in as a favor to deceive the audience into buying tickets.

Xiang Zai is the leading star in this film, and it is a bad film that the Xiang family uses to praise their son while washing their hands.

Big piece of shit!

Don’t mess with me with bad movies!

After understanding the crux of the problem, Fang Ziheng's face darkened, and he said disdainfully to a group of reporters: "Let's not mention that this film has not yet started shooting. What will happen if it does start shooting? Mythological themes and special effects are the main theme, and the production time is at least one and a half years."

"If all journalists are interested, you might as well ask the producers of "Legend of the Gods" how long it will take to complete the filming of the film?"

After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving behind dumbfounded reporters!

What's going on?

Fang Ziheng, who was fine just now and toasted to them with a smile, why did he suddenly get angry?

Could it be

"Legend of the Gods" is really a quick grab following the trend of "Immortal". Is it a big bad movie?

Reporters have to suspect that with Fang Ziheng's status and box office appeal, there is no need to be afraid of similar themes.

The problem must lie with "Legend of the Gods".

A group of reporters took the initiative to think, and their thoughts continued to follow Fang Ziheng's words.

Don't tell me, they really guessed it!

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the kick-off banquet ended and the guests left one after another.

"Immortal" also has its first scene.

For the first scene of any film or television production, a low- or medium-difficulty scene will be chosen to shoot, in order to get off to a good start.

The advantage is mine!

Fang Ziheng was no exception. He did not do anything new and innovative, but honestly chose the simplest scenes to wear down the crew.

It's hard not to grind it out. "Immortal" has no dynastic background or historical figures, and many settings are groundbreaking.

It is a big challenge for the crew and actors!

【Every year comes around again, full of expectations! 】

Sina Entertainment: "The shooting of "Immortal" started in Sanqingshan, and two big bosses, Wanda Wang Jianlin and Teng Xun Shenchengma, were surprised to see the press conference, cheering for Fang Ziheng's new film!"

[Shocking, that man is making a movie again! 】

Tengxun Entertainment: "The much-anticipated international director Fang Ziheng's new film "Immortality" has officially started shooting. A launch conference was held at the foot of Sanqing Mountain in Yuzhang in the morning. Judging from the exposure at the scene, the conference was crowded with big shots and it was very lively!"

["Legend of the Gods" VS "Immortality"! 】

Didu Entertainment: "Fang Ziheng's new film "Immortality" has started production. According to his sources, the film will tell the passionate story of a young man who pursues immortality.

At the same time, it was also revealed that Hong Kong's China Star Film and Television and Bona Pictures, which had just gone public, were about to shoot a mythical movie.

The business card "Legend of the Gods" is excerpted from the famous Chinese novel "The Romance of the Gods". It has been confirmed that international superstars Jet Li, Fan Bingjie, actor Liang Jiahui, Huang Xiaoming, Gu Tianle and other big-name stars will join the team. It is no less powerful than "The Immortality". Please wait and see who among the main creative lineup of "Immortal" is the real mythical masterpiece! "

[Fang Ziheng rarely fired shots and showed disdain for similar themes! 】

Nandu Entertainment: "At the end of the press conference, a reporter asked Director Fang what he thought of the similar theme "Legend of the Gods", and received a disdainful response. Director Fang said that mythological movies mainly focus on special effects and require a long time to polish. "Legend of the Gods" No match for "Immortality"."

Not long after the press conference ended, the reporters had just set foot on the return highway and sent the soft article they had written to the media platform and uploaded it to the Internet in seconds.

By four o'clock in the afternoon, when the first scene of "Immortal" was filmed and cheers came from the scene, the news of the film conference had already spread to all corners of the Internet.

Public netizens, the entertainment industry, and anyone who is involved in film and television entertainment and likes to follow movies all know the news.

Fans won’t say it, they already know it!

On Weibo, in addition to discussing "Immortality", many netizens are also interested in "Legend of the Gods".

Both movies are based on mythological themes. Although "Legend of the Gods" has not started filming, the announced cast alone cannot be underestimated.

The media said that Fang Ziheng was dismissive of "Legend of the Gods", which attracted many melon-eating netizens to stop and watch.

Although Nandu Entertainment's soft article did not publish photos of the on-site cannon fire, based on Fang Ziheng's status, Nandu Entertainment would not dare to mess with the rhythm if he had not said something substantive.

From this point of view, the disdain should be true!

For a time, the attention of netizens and movie fans divided into several groups. Many people came to the bottom of Bona's official blog to ask about the situation of "Legend of the Gods".

One of the most frequently asked questions is: "When is "Legend of the Gods" expected to be released?"

Good to die

Huaguoxing Film and Television and Bona Group are planning to take advantage of the popularity of "Immortal" to officially announce the project of "Legend of the Gods".

Seeing how enthusiastic netizens were, Bona's production department logged on to Weibo to respond without a second thought.

"The project of "Legend of the Gods" is about to be approved, and the investment details are currently being finalized. It is expected to start production by the end of the year and be released during the Lunar New Year in 2015!"

Released during the Lunar New Year in 2015!

Just this short sentence completely detonated Weibo in the evening! !

"Am I reading that right? The project is about to be approved. Filming will start at the end of the year and will be released during the Lunar New Year next year. Don't you need to prepare for "Legend of the Gods"?"

"Damn it, it feels like a bad movie!"

"It's a real bad movie. The preparation time for "Immortal" was nearly a year, and the shooting time was at least 14 to 15 months. "Legend of the Gods" is up there with me!"

"666, Fang Ziheng has such a sense of justice, yet he exposed another bad movie in the industry?"

"It doesn't look like a bad movie. With big-name stars like Brother Jie, Liang Jiahui, Huang Xiaoming, and Sister Fan Bing, the producers won't mess around. If it's shot well, it's very likely to be a hit!"

"I think one year is not too short. Why does Fang Ziheng still make one movie a year?"

"That's right, Fang Laolu typically only allows state officials to set fires, but doesn't allow people to light lamps. He doesn't even look at Hengyu Media's own shooting speed!"

"Hahaha, hit the mark!"

"I have no idea about time. I only know that the last mythical blockbuster "Havoc in Heaven" took several years to produce, but in the end it was not enough to feed the audience shit!"

"Havoc in Heaven" was shot even while lying down. Many China Film employees who were watching the movie on Weibo felt numb in their calves.

"I believe in Fang Ziheng. Those who succeed will always succeed. He will not use his own signature to make a monster!"

Netizens’ complaints caused quite a stir.

Although Huaguoxing Film and Television has little influence in the mainland, "Legend of the Gods" is not only about the Xiang family, but also the brothers Bona and Huayi.

The first one to take action was Hua Yi, who mobilized his navy to fish in troubled waters and bundled "Legend of the Gods" with "Immortal".

They are both big-budget productions with mythological themes. Neither movie has been released, so why should we praise them and criticize them?

Why should "Immortal" be praised and "Legend of the Gods" deserve to be scolded? This makes no sense.

The momentum of the navy's ending was suddenly different. Many netizens and fans were led astray, and they had a sense of reflection that they should not make judgments because of their preconceived ideas.

Immediately afterwards, Bona also took action, bluntly saying that "Legend of the Gods" will be a masterpiece.

The two major companies endorsed it, and everyone was confused for a while. They didn't know whether to believe Fang Ziheng or "Legend of the Gods".

But what is the real situation?

At the Huayi headquarters, Wang Zhongjun, who had not yet gotten off work, was lying on the boss's chair, sliding the tablet in his hand leisurely, and letting out chuckles from time to time.

In the afternoon, he received a reply from Huayi executives at the launch conference of "Immortal" and learned that this big project has been successfully launched and that Hengyu has entered production of another film with full potential.

But what he didn't expect was that Fang Ziheng actually mentioned "Legend of the Gods" at the press conference!

Keep it!

In the past few days, he and Yu Dong were worried. They couldn't bear to play "Immortality" with dignity, and they were afraid of arousing Fang Ziheng's resentment.

Okay now, the other side fires first!

They took advantage of the situation and brought the rhythm. I guess Fang Ziheng wouldn't blame them!

"Brother Fang, this time I will show my love to you, quack!"

Wang Zhongjun was so happy that he thought for a while, took out his phone and called Yu Dong, and said straight to the point: "Dong Yu, I also think that the production time of "Legend of the Gods" is too short. Do you think we should make two more calls?" Will you invest in it?"

“Director Wang wants to attract more investment from two parties”

On the other end of the phone, Yu Dong, who had just ordered the publicity department to stir up the publicity, was stunned when he heard this and did not turn around for a while.

Wang Zhongjun smiled softly: "Fang Ziheng is right, one year is simply not enough time for a major mythological production, and "Legend of the Gods" is indeed under-prepared.

Besides, I don’t believe Yu Dong’s understanding of Hua Guoxing Film and Television. Did he really have no doubts about this project? "

Wang Zhongjun's straightforward words made Yu Dong cough twice and smile awkwardly.

How could Yu Dong not know how dirty "Legend of the Gods" was, but Bona invested a small part of it, accounting for up to 20% of the project share, so he would not lose money.

In addition, the film distribution rights have also been won by Bona. Bona is firmly on the Diaoyutai, making money even for big bad movies.

Wang Zhongjun was dissatisfied with the profit distribution of "Legend of the Gods" and believed that there was too little meat on Huayi's plate.

Huayi also invested in the film, accounting for 15%. Huaguoxing Film and Television fully controls the investment amount of "Legend of the Gods".

With a total investment of 500 million, Huaguoxing alone invested 450 million, while Huayi and Bona invested only 50 million.

This project has been about money laundering from the beginning!

Oh, by the way, I want to praise my son (Lei Zhenzi)!

Yu Dong understood and asked with a smile: "Dr. Wang, do you have any good ideas?"

"Haha, I heard that Alibaba Pictures and Wanda Pictures have been looking for big productions and big investments. What do you think of Dongqian?" Wang Zhongjun lowered his voice and said with a sly smile.

Yu Dong: "."

Numb, you are getting worse and worse!

Ever since Huayi, Bona, China Film and Dadi Cinema established the Jiuzhou United Distribution Company, the relationship between Yu Dong and Wang Zhongjun has entered the honeymoon period.

As the saying goes, if you can't refuse, then enjoy it!

Hua Yi and Bona couldn't defeat each other, and there was Hengyu Media on top of them. It was purely natural for Wang Zhongjun and Yu Dong to come together.

Both parties maintain a good relationship with Hengyu Media, and there is no way they would recognize Fang Ziheng as the eldest brother.

Huayi is like this, Bona is like this!

Yu Dong agreed to Wang Zhongjun's proposal without thinking about it.

Selling shares, the investment share of "Legend of the Gods" can be sold to Alibaba Pictures and Wanda Film and Television.

Sell ​​it for 10%, get back 50 million, and make a profit of 25 million every time you go in and out!

"Haha, Director Wang has a good plan!"

"I won't mention each other, but Yu Dong is going to do it alone!"

After hanging up the phone, the two of them cursed inwardly, then immediately contacted Fan Luyuan and Song Ge.

They had a tacit understanding. Wang Zhongjun contacted Fan Luyuan of Alibaba Pictures, and Yu Dong contacted Song Ge of Wanda Pictures.

"Hey, Mr. Fan, I have a good deal here, and you know that "Immortality" starts filming today.

Yes, it is "Legend of the Gods", even if it is a follow-up movie, the box office is not much different! "

"Mr. Song, we are brothers and business friends. If something good happens, of course we have to rely on Wanda Film and Television. Just tell us whether you want it or not?"
