Entertainment, I just like making movies

March 2, the twelfth day of the first lunar month.

The Spring Festival season has come to an end, and the market has become completely clear.

"The Richest Man in Xihong City", directed by Ning Hao and starring Shen Teng, is the leading Spring Festival film.

The movie has enjoyed a strong second spring since the first day of the Lunar New Year, with the single-day box office stable at around 50 million for seven consecutive days.

Although it took a dive last week, it still had a single-day box office of 30 million yuan every day.

As of yesterday, March 1, one month after the movie was released, the total box office has officially exceeded 2 billion.

"The Richest Man in Xihong City" has also become the third film in Chinese film history to exceed 2 billion, and is highly considered by major producers.

The three movies that exceeded 2 billion were all controlled by Hengyu Media.

The first "Detective Chinatown 2" was released during the Spring Festival in 2014, with a total box office of over 2 billion.

The second film "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was released in the summer last year and its total box office exceeded 3 billion, becoming the first movie to enter the 3 billion box office club.

The third film, "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is still in theaters. According to box office forecasts, the total box office is roughly around 2.2 billion.

In the past two days, the media has published soft articles about the movie and hyped it up again. It seems to be cheering, but in fact it is the last wave of popularity.

The most talked about on Weibo are undoubtedly the film's director Ning Hao, as well as the male lead Shen Teng and the female lead Reba.

For a time, the three of them were in the limelight and became the subject of heated discussions in the entertainment industry.

Ning Hao's reputation has even slightly surpassed that of Fang Ziheng, and he has been praised by the media and fans.

Although it is just a gesture, it once again proves Ning Hao's directing skills and the laws of market business.

If your work is a hit, you don’t have to say it yourself; there are people who will help you brag about it.

The media, fans, capital, and colleagues in the industry who wanted to make friends with Ning Hao all gave him thumbs up.

The director makes a profit, and so does the starring role.

Shen Teng has starred in comedies for two consecutive years. The first "Charlotte" won the championship in the 2014 Lunar New Year festival, and the second "The Richest Man in Xihong City" won the championship in the 2015 Spring Festival.

With the help of two blockbuster comedies, Shen Teng became as famous a comedian as Xu Zheng, Bao Qiang and Huang Bo.

Many directors even compare him with Zhou Xingchi, thinking that he is the actor who may eventually succeed the king of comedy.

His comedy style is more unique and flavorful than Xu Zheng, Bao Qiang, and Huang Bo.

Fang Ziheng agreed with this.

Strictly speaking, Xu Zheng, Bao Qiang, and Huang Bo are not comedians, so it's just the right time to star in comedy movies.

The three of them have a wider range of dramas and more inner thoughts. They are not as pure as Shen Teng in comedy.

A very simple truth.

Xu Zheng starred in "I'm Not the God of Medicine", and Bao Qiang starred in "Mr. Tree" and "One Man's Martial Arts".

Huang Bo has played minor characters since his debut. After becoming famous, he took on spy dramas and roles with rich inner dramas.

Not to mention, all three of them are now directors.

The transformation of the three of them has, to a certain extent, given Shen Teng a path, allowing him to smoothly ascend to the top of the Chinese comedian ranks.

Then there is Reba, this girl finally got over it.

At the end of last year, Hengyu Media consulted with Reba and set up a studio for her, making her the eighth artist to set up a studio in Hengyu Media.

In front of her, there are seven seniors who have jumped out of the three realms.

The four major artists Liu Qianqian, Deng Chao, Liu Ye and Damimi have been upgraded from studios to small film and television companies.

Song Yi, Hu Ge, and Zhao Liying also established their own studios during the summer vacation last year.

Originally, Sun Li, Liu Shishi, Wang Ou, and Jiang Shuying were also qualified, but some details changed.

Because Sun Li was worried about Deng Chao, she did not set up a studio by herself, and the young couple opened a mom-and-pop shop.

Liu Shishi is popular, but because she just joined Hengyu Media, there is only one female lead in "Xiu Chun Dao 2" to get the shot, so she still has to wait.

It is estimated that when "Immortality" is released, Master Liu will be able to turn over and become the master.

Wang Ou and Jiang Shuying have another idea. It's not that they don't want to be their own bosses, but they are unwilling to give up the film and television resources that Hengyu Media has at their fingertips.

how to say?

Although Hengyu Media will support him when he becomes a boss, the support will definitely not be as strong as the contracted artist.

In addition to certain guarantees, if they want to live a better life and continue to move forward, they must go out and find resources on their own.

Based on this situation, Wang Ou and Jiang Shuying thought about it for a while and postponed the idea of ​​opening a studio.

Reba is different. She is young and ambitious. In terms of work, she is simply the replica of Damimi, a desperate Saburo.

She is now very popular, and her popularity has been completely opened up due to the two seasons of Running Man. After starring in "The Richest Man in Xihong City", her status has been improved again, from a popular little girl, a popular little girl, to a first-line movie celebrity.

If the follow-up resources are not lost, it may not be impossible to compete with Damimi and Song Yi.

No, at the beginning of the new year, this girl even made several trips to Hengyu headquarters, eager to work on the script.

Two years in advance, Reba enjoyed the popularity of her previous life!

Apart from "The Richest Man in Xihong City", the most popular movie has changed from "Army of Heaven" to "Macau Storm 2".

As a comedy film released on New Year's Eve, "Omen 2" took in a box office of 280 million in its first four days.

The following week, from the fifth day of the Lunar New Year to yesterday, the box office trend did not slow down at all, with the single-day box office still maintaining 70 million in the first three days.

It dropped slightly in the next four days and remained at a height of 50 million.

In seven days, it grossed a total of 430 million in box office, and the total box office once reached 710 million, easily surpassing the first film.

Judging from the current box office trend, even if it plummets, it can still maintain a single-day box office of around 3,000 this week.

Major film and television companies and the four major ticket-buying apps predict that "Macau 2" has an 80% chance of reaching the 1 billion box office club.

It became the first Hong Kong film in Chinese-language film and television to hit a box office of over 1 billion.

On the other hand, "Lion" received 360 million in the first four days of the weekend, strongly occupying the runner-up position at the box office in the first week. However, its reputation began to collapse in the second week, showing the weakness of being unable to succeed.

In the second week, the single-day box office of "Army" dropped to 60 million in the first three days and to 30 million in the last four days.

Only got 245 million in seven days!

The total box office can exceed 600 million, which is a full 100 million less than the box office of "Macau 2".

The reputation of the movie has collapsed, and it is estimated that the box office trend in the new week will be difficult to maintain at a high level. If it can make 20 million in a single day, it will be considered a high success.

Of course!

The 700 million yuan in the market has been stabilized. As one of the joint issuers, Hengyu has made money on both sides.

Speaking of which, Fang Ziheng had never paid attention to "Macau Storm 2", but Yu Dong was unwilling to give up the distribution rights.

Anyone can see that the first part of "Macau" made 500 million at the box office, and the potential of the second part will only be greater.

After all, no one is really stupid!

"Wolf Totem", another film controlled by China Film Group Corporation, received 364 million in seven days last week, also surpassing "Army of Heaven".

This movie is very resilient, with a total box office of 500 million in 11 days of release. It seems to be quite satisfactory, but it still has 45 million in a single day, which is very strong.

According to this trend, there is no pressure for the total box office to exceed 700 million, and we can look forward to 800 million.

Mid-March.

Fang Ziheng flew from the imperial capital to Yuzhang to start the new year's filming work.

During this period, the Spring Festival is over, and the major film and television companies are releasing new films and looking for projects. It is extremely quiet.

Even in the entertainment industry, there were no melon-stealing incidents in March. The biggest event was the wedding of several celebrity couples.

Marriage is good news, it should be announced to the world, and everyone should be given candies, saying that it does not count as eating melons to watch.

The time came to the end of March.

Fang Ziheng finished filming today's plan early, sat alone in front of the computer, and opened major news websites such as Sina, Tengxun, NetEase, Huaguo News Network, and International News Network.

At the same time, I also opened the Weibo APP and Toutiao, clicked on the international section page, and refreshed it from time to time.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Fang Ziheng's eyes suddenly froze and he stared at the computer screen.

Almost at the same time, shocking news popped up on major news websites and apps.

[We are in conflict, and a civil war is about to break out! 】

"It's really here!"

Fang Ziheng murmured to himself, stood up and came to the window, looking at the dark night sky.

When the incident broke out, major news websites pushed news together, indicating that the country was paying more attention to the incident.

Evacuations follow!

It is not only to evacuate overseas Chinese to ensure the safety of citizens and overseas Chinese, but also to demonstrate the strength of the country.

The whole people are paying attention and the whole people are talking about it!

The self-confidence of the Chinese people has taken a big step forward since we evacuated our overseas Chinese.

Fang Ziheng is so concerned about this matter. On the one hand, he is moved by compassion and hopes that his compatriots in Yemen can return home as soon as possible.

On the other hand, I thought of "Operation Red Sea" that was brewed by the Yemen incident.

As for national affairs, he is nothing but a green onion. He can just make movies with peace of mind.

"Operation Red Sea"!

A movie adapted from the evacuation process of the Chinese civil war.

The standard and reputation of this film are definitely a milestone in the history of Chinese military films, a ceiling level.

Lin Chaoxian mentioned this idea at the end of last year.

At that time, Fang Ziheng asked Lin Chaoxian to wait on the grounds that he was running out of time and had to work on the script first.

Now, the time has come!

It is adapted from real events, so there is no need to make up nonsense. Everything in the movie can be configured one by one according to the real situation.

However, Hengyu couldn't make this movie alone and needed to cooperate with the military and ask the army to assist in the filming.

He thought for a while, took out his mobile phone and called Lin Chaoxian.

"Hey, Director Lin."

"Have you seen the news?"

"I see, Chairman, our "Operation Red Sea" is going great!"

On the other end of the phone, Lin Chaoxian was a little excited. While browsing news reports on the Internet, he took out the first draft of "Operation Red Sea".

"Chairman, the incident happened too suddenly. The original script is no longer good and needs to be rewritten!"

"Don't worry, take your time. Since there is a real case, let's make it real. I am going to cooperate with the Poly Group for this movie and ask military professionals to help!"

"Really, that's great!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chao stood up from his seat leisurely, patted his chest and promised: "Chairman, please rest assured, I will definitely live up to your trust!"

"OK, it's settled. You work on the script first, and I'll talk about anything else when I get back to the imperial capital."

After hanging up the phone, Fang Ziheng smiled. He didn't expect that Lin Chaoxian was more interested in "Operation Red Sea" than him.

That's fine. Only when the director is attentive can the actors be attentive and live up to the famous name of "Operation Red Sea".

As time passed, our situation escalated again, and the war was about to break out.

The situation is becoming increasingly critical. More than a dozen countries, including China, the United States, and England, acted quickly and closed their embassies while calling on their citizens to evacuate.

However, less than a day after the evacuation was called, war broke out.

Countries around the world issued urgent orders and dispatched warships to assist their citizens.

At the same time, many videos and photos of them appeared on the Internet.

With our compatriots in the country reporting back the local situation, and with the risk-taking interviews conducted by international news war correspondents, the cruelty of the war was exposed to the people of the whole country.

Hundreds of compatriots were displaced in foreign countries because of the war.

Their life safety is not guaranteed, and they can only wait eagerly for the country to send people to take them home.

The country did not disappoint the people, and the dispatched warship arrived in Yemen within three days.

moment

The Internet is booming!

The speed of Chinese warships made hundreds of millions of people feel excited, and their patriotism surged unprecedentedly.

On Weibo, under the topic of evacuation of overseas Chinese, countless netizens were discussing and waiting for good news to come.

"555 tears, compatriots must go home safely!"

"There are no peaceful years. It's just that there are people who are carrying the burden for us. Pay tribute to Brother Bing!"

"The latest news is that warships from other countries seem to have withdrawn, and people from many countries have not been picked up!"

"Fuck, this is the nature of a capitalist country. It only accepts rich people and doesn't care about the lives of ordinary people!"

"I hope that all of our compatriots will be brought back!"

"I will live under the red flag in this life, and I will be a flower grower in the next life!"

"Don't worry, everyone, this evacuation is child's play. Last time we brought back all 30,000 people!"

"Yes, it is not ten or twenty years ago now. Our country has become stronger. Don't worry about the safety of our compatriots!"

"To put it bluntly, even if our two sides were crippled by civil war, they would not dare to kill our citizens indiscriminately!"

"Believe in the country, believe in Brother Bing!"

"Believe in the country, believe in the brave and fearless people's soldiers!"

On the Internet, everyone was a little worried at first, but then resumed their humorous tone.

Faced with such a big event in the eyes of a small country, netizens still laughed and laughed. They went from worried to confident in just one morning.

This also fully shows that the improvement of national power will increase the self-confidence of the people.

A strong country can naturally make its people confident and not afraid of the dangers outside.

………

Our incident became a hot topic for a while.

It has become a popular chat topic not only among netizens and the general public, but also in the entertainment industry.

Major film and television companies have seen more!

Several giant bosses, Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, Song Ge and others, like Fang Ziheng, turned their heads very quickly, and they all thought of "Operation Mekong" released in the summer from their incident.

"Operation Mekong" is a movie adapted from real events.

Especially Bona's Yu Dong, this guy not only thought of "Operation Mekong", but also recalled the new ideas Lin Chaoxian talked to him at the celebration banquet of "The Return of the Great Sage".

seemingly

The background of the story mentioned by Lin Chaoxian is Zaiye!
