Entertainment, I just like making movies

Hengyu Media.

Located on Xinyuan Road, Zhaoyang District, not far from Huayi Company.

There are many media and entertainment companies near Xinyuan Road. The entertainment industry is still small and there are not many talents. The big guys get together to exchange knowledge.

On the 18th floor of Xinmao Building, Fang Ziheng rented half a floor here and officially entered the China Entertainment Film and Television Industry.

In order to formalize the company, Fang Ziheng had to spend a lot of money, and spent a lot of money on his already weak family.

Fortunately, there are not many people in the company now, only 20 or 30 people, most of whom are senior brothers recruited by Fang Ziheng from Beijing Film Studio.

Otherwise, the employees’ salaries alone will not be enough.

"President Fang, the crew has completed preparations. Assistant Director Wen arrived in Yudu yesterday with the camera crew and props team, and has already communicated with the police department about the shooting requirements."

In the general manager's office, Fang Ziheng sat on the boss's chair, issuing expense receipts and listening to reports.

After signing his name with a water-based black pen, Fang Ziheng raised his head and said to the woman in front of him: "Sister Lin, don't be so serious. Sit down."

Lin Feifei, in her early thirties, dignified and elegant, with a plump figure.

She was born in Beijing Film Studio in her early years, and later joined Huayi. She was recruited by Fang Ziheng half a month ago.

The major is production and coordination, and they are talents who specialize in film and television.

Concubine Lin was not polite. She sat on the chair in front of the desk and handed over a document: "The last female character has been found. Wang Ou, the image is very suitable."

Wang Ou?

Fang Ziheng whispered, took the file and looked at the photo the character had posted.

It turned out to be her.

Sister Lin has a very good vision, Wang Ou is indeed suitable for the unknown woman who is loved by stupid thieves.

Just looking at his appearance, he has a tea-talking temperament.

Not bad.

"Okay, just her. Let her join the team the day after tomorrow." Fang Ziheng nodded and gave Lin Feifei a smile of approval.

"Has Mr. Fang found the role of Ma Xianyong?"

Seeing that the little boss was satisfied, Lin Feifei smiled brightly and took the initiative to ask about the situation of the movie's leading actor.

The reason why she switched from Huayi to Hengyu was naturally not because of the relationship with Nortel, but because Fang Ziheng gave her too much.

Take it easy as it comes, she has carefully studied the script of The Unknown, and even if it won't be a big hit, you can still make a small fortune.

The boss personally directed and starred in it. With an excellent script and a suitable role, Hengyu's first shot will not fail in her hands.

"It's confirmed. Yu Hewei is also an excellent actor, cheap and practical." Fang Ziheng smiled proudly and found out Yu Hewei's information and gave it to Lin Feifei.

To be honest, he searched for the role of Ma Xianyong for several days and finally chose Yu Hewei.

In both the drug hunter and the circuit prosecutor, Lao Yu has performed both righteous and rogue roles, and he has nailed the role perfectly without being too dramatic at all.

And the image is more suitable than Chen Jianbing. After all, Ma Xianyong was an auxiliary police officer and has certain requirements for actors' bodies.

After looking at Yu Hewei's information, Concubine Lin nodded lightly.

In the past two days, she had been looking for a suitable male lead, and she looked around twice to see Zhang Hanyu in Sino One.

Now that the boss has a candidate, she will naturally not mention it.

After talking about the preparations for the movie, Fang Ziheng changed the topic: "By the way, Sister Lin, I asked you to buy the rights to the Four Famous Catchers. How is the progress?"

"We've already contacted the writer, and Mr. Wen has agreed, that's it."

"Just what?"

Fang Ziheng frowned and looked at Lin Feifei who was hesitant to speak.

"Director Chan Ka-shang on Hong Kong Island also took a fancy to "Four Famous Catchers" and proposed to cooperate in making a movie together."

"He thinks beautifully."

Fang Ziheng sneered, leaned back into the soft boss chair, and said, "Sister Lin, you and Mr. Wen can talk directly. We only want the film adaptation rights of "Four Famous Catchers". It doesn't matter if the price is a little higher."

"As for the Chen family, he wants to buy it with his own money."

Fang Ziheng's tone was extremely firm and he did not give the Hong Kong director any face.

Although The Four Famous Catchers is not a big IP, it is definitely top-notch in terms of suspense and martial arts.

The three movies released 12 years later were so poorly made that the audience bought into them. Although it was due to star actors such as Liu Qianqian and Deng Chao, the appeal of the IP "Four Famous Catchers" cannot be denied.

Such a good subject was wasted by Chen Jiashang, which makes me heartbroken when I think about it.

Hengyu won the film adaptation rights because he wanted to use the name of "Four Famous Catchers" to fill in an excellent and rigorous suspense plot.

As long as the cost and quality are controlled well, and the name "Four Famous Catchers" is added, it can definitely attract the first wave of audiences.

Of course, making a movie and making a lot of money at the box office requires some luck.

But don't forget, "Four Famous Catchers" can be made into a series, just like Detective Dee and Bao Qingtian.

When the time comes to launch the 123 series, it will be difficult not to make money.

"Okay, I'll contact Mr. Wen later."

Lin Feifei received the instructions and got up to contact the writer Wen Lao.

October 9th, 3pm.

Fang Ziheng and Lin Feifei flew to Chongqing with the last crew.

The crew of "The Unknown" has completed preliminary preparations and will officially start filming tomorrow morning.

In a hotel in YB District, Fang Ziheng met the crew who had arrived in advance.

The hotel is a three-star hotel, neither high nor low, economical and affordable.

Fang Ziheng looked around and asked, "Have the actors arrived?"

Wen Muye, the deputy director of the crew, called everyone upstairs and said as he walked: "We're here. The only ones left are Deng Chao and Sun Li. They just got on the plane."

Wen Muye is also a junior student of Fang Ziheng in the directing department of Nortel. He first studied directing at Northeastern Literature and Art, and then was admitted to Nortel. He is a junior this year.

Fang Ziheng brought him in as assistant director, but he was extremely happy.

"How was the arrangement of the first scene? Has the Chongqing police agreed to help?"

"It's all set up. It's on a construction site three kilometers away. The extras are all ready-made. They pay one hundred yuan a day and take care of the food."

Wen Muye pushed up the acting skills on the bridge of his nose, smiled and said, "The police didn't have any objections after reading the script. They just asked that they be filmed more powerfully."

Just have no opinion.

The last scene is considered a big scene and the most important scene in the movie, and it requires the help of the police.

As for making the police look better in pictures, is this still a problem?

Fang Ziheng asked for specific details, and finally patted Wen Muye on the shoulder reassuringly.

It was his first time filming a movie, and it would be a lie to say there was no pressure.

Although the crew of "The Unknown" is small, it is well-equipped, and many things require the director's decision-making.

He has to make decisions on everything from actors' remuneration to venue rentals.

In a hotel conference room, the actors who had joined the group were already in place. Huang Bo, Bao Qiang, Song Yi, Yu Hewei all came and greeted Fang Ziheng warmly.

Let’s be honest, The Unsung is definitely a star-studded one.

Huang Bo, Bao Qiang, and Deng Chao are all actors who have earned tens of billions at the box office in future generations.

Yu Hewei and Sun Li are also big TV stars, and even Wang Ou and Song Yi are real film and television stars.

A movie costing tens of millions of dollars can bring together so many stars. Fang Ziheng really wants to ask, who else?

Fang Ziheng has to thank this era, this era of normal pay.

In five or six years, it will be a waste to hire so many actors with this little money.

Everyone in the conference room took their seats. Fang Ziheng puffed out a circle of cigarettes and looked at Song Yi with a smile, who lowered his head and played with his fingers.

"Song Yi, how are you thinking about your role?"
