Entertainment, I just like making movies

There are three gold medals in Chinese film awards: Golden Rooster, Golden Statue, and Golden Horse, which are known as the Three Great Awards of Chinese Entertainment Film.

In the mainland film industry, there are also three major awards: Huabiao, Golden Rooster, and Hundred Flowers, as well as three major TV drama awards: Feitian, Golden Eagle, and Magnolia.

In later generations, a great netizen gifted Huayu a poem.

The Golden Horse is in crisis and the Golden Image is declining.

The golden rooster is powerless and the flowers are withered.

The water is overflowing with golden eagles and withered magnolias.

The gorgeous watch is gone forever.

Water Emperor and Water Queen will be passed down forever.

Twenty-eight people gathered together.

Chinese movie Chi Zao Wan.

In the words of netizens, whether it is Chinese entertainment or domestic entertainment, sooner or later it will be a pill.

Fans have no brains, idols have no morals, they either sleep or pay taxes, plus a bottle of water!

Netizens’ ridicule fully demonstrates that the authority of the award is gradually weakening.

Among all awards, in terms of pure influence and style, the Golden Horse Award is undoubtedly the highest. This is the consensus in the circle.

Only in the 1980s and 1990s, when Hong Kong films were at their peak, did batch after batch of Hong Kong stars become popular in Southeast Asia, and blockbuster movies came out one after another, which once raised the influence of the Academy Awards above that of the Golden Horse Awards.

But that’s it, the Academy Awards are too territorial. Hong Kong films were fine when they were at their peak, but once they faded, they were instantly dull.

After all, Hong Kong Island only opens a few movies a year now, and they can't even put together a shortlist for three years.

The decline of Hong Kong Entertainment has taken away the afterglow of the Academy Awards, and only the films of a few directors are reviewed.

Boring, so boring.

The Golden Horse Awards is different in this regard. It is open to all Chinese-language films and has naturally become the most important film award in the three places across the Taiwan Strait. Its influence is unprecedented!

The Golden Horse Awards are held once a year. Since 2000, many mainland films have been nominated and won awards almost every year.

That's right, regardless of the award, mainland films win awards every year.

It can be said that if the films produced in the Mainland every year are crowded into the Golden Horse Awards, the Golden Horse Awards will either become the Mainland Awards or become more like the Academy Awards.

Counter the mainland and slowly cool down.

Because Taiwan’s film output is not enough to win the annual Golden Horse Awards, it can’t even get nominated.

It is precisely because of this inclusiveness that both mainland and Hong Kong films can participate in the competition, and the Golden Horse has become the most influential film festival in China today.

So no matter what happened before, no one has ever questioned the authority of the Golden Horse Awards, and no one has said that they will never run for election.

The only exception was a major incident in 2006, when the entertainment circles of the two places were unhappy.

In the past, my brother Zhang Guorong was ridiculed as a homosexual by a presenter at the Golden Horse Awards. He suffered huge humiliation and did not even say that he would not participate in the Golden Horse Awards.

On the contrary, my brother was very calm throughout the whole process, smiling as he watched the two hosts, a man and a woman, teasing and mocking him.

Since then, my brother has never been to the Golden Horse Awards again!

Mainland stars, Mainland directors, and Mainland film and television companies dared to reject the Golden Horse Award. Gong Huang, Fang Ziheng, and Hengyu Media were the first.

As for Hengyu Media's public announcement, Lao Huai was relieved. The head of the propaganda department called after get off work to praise him, which was to express his attitude to Fang Ziheng.

He did this very well!

Based on this, Fang Ziheng came up with another bad idea on the phone. No, it was a good idea.

Next September, the 30th Golden Rooster Awards will be held.

Domestic entertainment can increase the momentum of the awards. There have been many excellent movies in the past two years, which can fully support the grand occasion.

At the same time, the Film Association officially invited stars, film productions and crews from Hong Kong and Taiwan to participate in the competition, making it more rigorous.

Those who come are all friends, and those who reject are all those who harbor adultery in their hearts.

As for whether anyone left the show midway, Fang Ziheng said that they wouldn’t dare!

I'm afraid they won't quit!

The Golden Horse Troubles came and went quickly.

After a victory, the entertainment media and mainstream media seemed to have received some hints and turned the topic to the Lunar New Year.

Harmony, everyone understands it!

Huayi brothers.

Wang Zhongjun came to the company early in the morning, browsed online reports for a while, and smiled helplessly.

"Fang Ziheng took advantage of him and let him pretend to be successful again."

In this incident, he was a step slower and envied Fang Ziheng for being the boss again.

After suppressing the complaints in his heart, Wang Zhongjun recruited his younger brother Wang Zhonglei and vice president and production director Chen Guofu.

After a while, Wang Zhonglei and Chen Guofu arrived.

Chen Guofu's face looked a little unhappy. As a native of Taiwan Province, he had suffered from both sides in the past two days, so he actually ate a lot of sandwich rice.

Wang Zhongjun pointed to the guest sofa, picked up a freshly opened box of cigars and walked over, threw it to Wang Zhonglei, and asked with a smile: "Zhonglei, Guojia, what do you think of the new movie released by Huang Bo and Bao Qiang?" look?"

Huang Bo!

Baoqiang!

Chen Guofu's eyes flashed, and he suddenly remembered the news that had been circulated some time ago.

There are rumors that Hengyu's golden touch, after supporting Xu Zheng, Wu Jing, and Deng Chao, has also set his sights on the other two top actors in the industry, Huang Bo and Bao Qiang, with the intention of supporting them to write, direct, and act in their own right. .

This matter has spread like wildfire. Could it be that the chairman is also interested in it?

Chen Guofu didn't know that Wang Zhongjun was very concerned. As soon as he got the news, he asked his brother Wang Zhonglei to find out the situation clearly.

Wang Zhonglei is worthy of being Huayi's number one socialite. He pondered for two seconds and blurted out: "I personally asked Li Xue the day before yesterday. She said that Baoqiang's film has just been prepared and the total cost is close to 80 million soft girl coins."

"So many?" Chen Guofu exclaimed, somewhat disbelieving.

Baoqiang...

His sweetheart's godbrother looked so naive and naive, but he was so courageous.

Wang Zhonglei glanced at him and nodded with a smile: "It's 80 million, every penny is a lot. Hengyu Media will provide 50 million to provide a production team, help refine the script, take on the responsibility of producing and supervising, and occupy 70% of the project.

Bao Qiang writes, directs and stars in the film, with a salary of 12 million. Individuals can also invest 10% to 15% in real money.

Baoqiang will raise the remaining investment share by itself. According to Li Xue, she and Hesong Media of Lotus are prepared to take the remaining share. "

In the entertainment industry, there are no secrets at all. Even if there are, it's because your status is not enough.

For people like Wang Zhonglei, if they really want to find out something, there is almost no information they can't get by going out in person.

Li Xue, Lianhua, and Baoqiang were originally from Huayi. With Hengyu occupying 70% of the project share, none of them hid the general situation of the project.

The only thing is that Bao Qiang kept the plot of "Havoc in Tianzhu" very tight, revealing only that it needed to go to India for filming, and the cost was as high as 80 million.

"Haha, Baoqiang is on his way!"

After listening to his brother's introduction, Wang Zhongjun smiled slightly and recalled the first time he met Baoqiang.

In 2004, Bao Qiang had just participated in "A World Without Thieves" and his management contract was transferred from Director Feng Pants Studio to Hua Yi Brothers.

In 2010, Baoqiang established his own studio and became an independent artist. Studio Huayi also invested in it.

Good boy!

Wang Zhongjun sighed in his heart and said in a solemn voice: "Ask Baoqiang to come to China. We want the remaining share of his movies!"

"Okay, bro."

Wang Zhonglei immediately agreed, then hesitantly said: "What should Li Xue and Lianhua do? They are wooing Baoqiang to become a partner of Hesong Media!"

"It's okay. They agree with their wishes. Just give the two sisters a 5% investment share."

Wang Zhongjun had a smile in his eyes and waved his hand proudly, showing a bit of win-win cooperation.

Seeing this scene, Chen Guofu was moved in his heart and secretly thought that the chairman was trying to pay attention to the film's distribution.

Also, it is almost difficult for Baoqiang, an actor with a low level of education, to make a blockbuster movie.

Even if Xiaoxiao participates in his movie, he won't lose too much even if he loses money.

But issuance is different. It is a sure-profit business.

It can only be said that Chen Guofu understands Wang Zhongjun. He pays this attention and sees further.

What Wang Zhonglei said just now: Fang Ziheng supported, Bao Qiang wrote, directed and acted, and Hengyu Media served as producer and supervisor, helping to refine the script.

Except that it is not directed by a director under contract with Hengyu Media, it is almost the same as a movie controlled by Hengyu Media.

Huayi Brothers, there is no reason to reject Baoqiang’s new film!

Then, Wang Zhongjun looked at his younger brother Wang Zhonglei: "Where's Huang Bo? What movie is he planning to make?"

“Road movie!”

Wang Zhonglei took a sip of his cigar and said with a bit of pride: "I specially organized a bureau to ask Xu Zheng to come together. He told me that the total cost of Huang Bo's film was 50 million to 60 million, which is similar to Bao Qiang's film, but No need to go abroad for filming.”

"Brother, after all, this is the first movie. How big can the investment be? I dare say that as long as the total investment exceeds 100 million, even Fang Ziheng will have to think twice before agreeing to support!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Guofu smiled and nodded, agreeing: "Well, Zhong Lei is right."

"Any film with a production cost of more than 100 million yuan will cost 150 million yuan including the promotion fee. If it does not have a box office of more than 400 million yuan, there is no way to recover the money."

"Chairman, this is indeed a good opportunity. If the films directed by these two directors can be as popular as those of Xu Zheng, Wu Jing, Deng Chao, and Zhao Yanzi, our group's performance pressure next year will be much easier!"

Performance pressure refers specifically to the accountability to the stock market.

The total market value of the Huayi brothers has reached 82 billion. The two brothers, Big and Little, have always wanted to do something big and reach 100 billion as soon as possible to compete with Hengyu Interactive Entertainment.

The films of Huang Bo and Bao Qiang were just delivered to their pots.

Moreover, both of them are actors who are particularly popular with audiences and passers-by, and they are also very good at comedy.

The first movie has a strong audience base, so no matter how low the box office is, it won't be much lower.

Well, Deng Chao's first movie "The Breakup Master" relied on audience popularity to sell more than 600 million at the box office.

The three of them quickly made the decision to invest in Huang Bo and Bao Qiang, and to release Hu's films.

After it was done, Wang Zhongjun blew out a puff of smoke and told his younger brother: "Zhong Lei, I will personally contact Huang Bo and Bao Qiang. If you can finally invite them to come to the company to lie down, say that I will sweep the tower to welcome them!"

"Also, the movie will be released with a guaranteed minimum price. The first bid will be higher, so there is no need to be petty!"

"Brother, don't worry, we at Huayi are not short of money, and our resources are not much inferior to Hengyu's. Huang Bo and Bao Qiang will definitely be able to win one of them!"

Wang Zhonglei grinned, with a hint of honeyed confidence between his brows.

Not only Huayi Brothers, but also Guangxian, Bona, Wanda Pictures, Alibaba Pictures, Tengxun Pictures, LeTV, Huace, and Hengdian Pictures.

One by one of these domestic entertainment film and television companies, they all received news that Huang Bo and Bao Qiang were going to be directors.

The scene of Jie Hu's release has been staged in major film and television companies in turn.

The films directed by Xu Zheng, Wu Jing, Deng Chao, and Zhao Yanzi are among the best-selling films. Everyone has confidence in Huang Bo and Bao Qiang and believes that their films have full potential.

Sanqingshan Film and Television Base.

Fang Ziheng finished the day's filming, took a shower, and went to the crew cafeteria for dinner.

The film and television base is currently not popular, and the surrounding hotels and restaurants are still under construction. The so-called crew canteen is just a big pot of rice, which is no different from the box lunch everyone eats at noon.

The only advantage is that it can protect you from wind and rain, and you have a place to sit. You don't need to squat on the ground to eat like you did during the day.

"Director, the food is here!"

The life producer of the crew was in charge of the canteen. When he saw Fang Ziheng coming, he quickly brought the warm food over.

Fang Ziheng waved his hand and told the producer to leave him alone, and gulped down the food.

Not far away, Liu Qianqian, who had already joined the group, was having a drink with Song Yi, Li Qin and Fang Rou.

Yes, just a drink.

There will be no scenes for Liu Qianqian, Song Yi, and Li Qin tomorrow, so you can sleep in, but you can't have a good time.

Liu Qianqian stared at her lover, lifted a glass of beer to her mouth, took a few sips, and said casually: "Xiaorou, how is the screening of "The Return of the Great Sage" going?"

"Very good, first day box office..."

Fang Rou's face lit up with joy, and she suddenly stopped talking mid-sentence. She patted her forehead in annoyance, grabbed the backpack beside her and stood up.

Jogging all the way to Fang Ziheng's side, Fang Rou opened her backpack, took out her work laptop and placed it on the dining table.

"Brother, the data for "The Return of the Great Sage" are out. The box office on the first day was 134 million, breaking the first-day record for Chinese-language animated films."

Fang Ziheng sniffed his nose, smelled the smell of alcohol on Fang Rou, and glanced at their table.

Just in time, the young lady and Song Yi looked at each other, raised their wine glasses and waved to him.

Two goblins!

Fang Ziheng was secretly happy, and said to the opponent: "Leave it here, I'll see for myself, you go and eat first."

"Hehe, thank you, brother." Fang Rou nodded her head, straightened her laptop, and quickly returned to her seat.

After a while, Fang Ziheng finished three bowls of rice.

I burped, filled a bowl of soup, and then turned my attention to the data in the computer.

Today, November 29th, 7pm.

One day ago, on November 27, the animated film "The Return of the Great Sage", produced by Hengyu Media and distributed by Hengyu Interactive Entertainment, successfully held its premiere ceremony in the Imperial Capital, and the effect was very good.

In the early hours of yesterday morning, "The Return of the Great Sage" was officially launched in major domestic theaters, and it hit a super high first-day box office of 134 million.

The explosion is inevitable!

Hengyu Media once again proved its strength to the outside world and told everyone that animated movies can also be awesome.

None of the other movies from the same period could beat it.

"Interstellar" only received 110 million in six days this week, 23 million less than the first day of "The Return of the Great Sage".

"Coquettish Women Have the Best Life" starring Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Gongzi was released at the same time as "The Return of the Great Sage".

The box office on the first day was 36 million, which was quite satisfactory.

The Hollywood blockbuster "Fury", in which the Hua Yi brothers participated, was even weaker at the box office. It only took 9 days after its release to reach a total box office of over 100 million.

In addition, there is another kung fu movie that attracted much attention when it was released, "Once Upon a Time: Heroes Have Dreams" also fell into the trap.

The film is produced by Hong Kong Island Anle Film and Television Company and jointly distributed by Didu Lianrui Pictures, Anle Film and Television, and China Film.

70 million last week, 50 million this week, and 120 million in 10 days of release, only 10 million more than "Fury" at the box office.

It can be said unceremoniously that the first-day results of "The Return of the Great Sage" completely took advantage of the beginning of this year's Lunar New Year season.

With the first-mover advantage, it will be difficult for subsequent movies to leverage the prestige of "The Return of the Monkey King".

That's not what Fang Ziheng cares about. He believes in "The Return of the Great Sage". He specially bought this film from China Film Group, and it's not bad.

At this time, he was more concerned about Huang Bo's "A Good Show" and Bao Qiang's "Havoc in Tianzhu".

Just at noon today, major film and television companies learned about the situation of two more movies and expressed to Huang Bo and Bao Qiang that they would release them at a guaranteed price.

Alibaba Pictures and Tengxun Pictures, the two big names, were even more arrogant. They directly quoted Huang Bo and Baoqiang before anyone else could react.

"A Good Show" 500 million!

"Havoc in Tianzhu" 500 million!

Alibaba Pictures and Tengxun Pictures both quoted a guaranteed release price of 500 million for the two films.
