Entertainment, I just like making movies

"The Perfect Premiere of "The Big Four"!"

"The box office at midnight exceeded 5 million. Director Fang Ziheng once again proved himself, telling the world that successful people always succeed!"

"According to the box office monitoring agency under the Film Bureau, "Famous Four" was released in 2,000 theaters across the country early this morning, and the box office exploded at midnight. In just two hours, the first screening grossed a super high box office of 5.2 million.

This figure not only broke director Fang Ziheng's personal record, but also set a new high in mainland box office history. "

"The latest report from Sina Media: The highly anticipated martial arts blockbuster "Four Famous Catchers" held its world premiere at the National Center for the Performing Arts in the Imperial Capital last night.

According to the news sent by the reporter at the front station, the overseas rights of "Four Famous Catchers" were sold long before it was released! "

June 20th!

After receiving the zero-point box office of "Famous Four", major entertainment media rushed to the early morning shift to publish the soft articles prepared in advance as quickly as possible.

5.2 million!

Are costume films about to rise again?

This is the first reaction of many filmmakers after seeing the zero-point box office of "The Famous Four"!

Chinese filmmakers have to be shocked!

"The Promise", "The Night Banquet", "Seven Swordsmen", "Red Cliff", "Myth" and "The Myth" have failed one after another.

Amidst the endless scolding, the domestic and foreign audiences’ love for costume films was completely exhausted.

In 2008, before "Red Cliff 1" was released!

The publicity intensity can be described as overwhelming. Whether it is media reporters or celebrities, almost everyone praises it and praises it generously.

"Red Cliff" is so praised that it is rare in the sky and unparalleled on earth. If the audience does not see the cliff, they will regret it for the rest of their lives.

However, despite this overall optimism, the box office of "Red Cliff" is still only 3.4 million.

Although it broke the record high at the time and was repeatedly touted by the media, in fact, the box office of Zero Point was really low.

That's Wu Baige, an international director!

With a total investment of US$80 million in "Red Cliff", the entire China Film Group went all out to pave the way for the film's promotion.

Judging purely from the zero-point box office data of "Red Cliff 1" at that time, the costume film has already encountered backlash from the audience.

In other words, after being devastated by the previous bad costume movies, many viewers were afraid.

They didn’t dare to go into the cinema to watch the movie immediately, but more people chose to wait and watch!

Audiences are right to be cautious!

"Red Cliff" Parts 1 and 2 really fed them, and Wu Baige consumed the enthusiasm of the last batch of costume film fans.

The audience's enthusiasm is consumed, which is difficult to make up for and to correct the chaos.

This is one of the important reasons why insiders were not optimistic about Fang Ziheng and "Four Famous Catchers" before.

It has only been a year since "Red Cliff 2". Logically speaking, the audience's backlash has not yet passed.

The zero-point box office of "The Four Famous Catchers" shouldn't be so high!

5.2 million!

It is no weaker than the data when "Red Cliff 1" was released.

Such data also gave countless filmmakers two thoughts.

Is the audience’s enthusiasm for period films reviving?

Or does the audience believe Fang Ziheng?

Many directors and screenwriters choose the first reason.

It is believed that the enthusiasm of the audience has recovered, and the hope of costume films has come again.

Once an idea is established, action is inevitable.

Early this morning, many directors and screenwriters called the bosses of film and television companies to enhance their relationship with each other.

"Hey, Brother Dog, the zero-point box office of "Four Famous Catchers" is out. Yes, I have a new idea. I think costume films are about to usher in a second spring."

"Okay, I'll come to the company later and have a good discussion with the screenwriting department."

"Dr. Yu, I won't disturb your rest. I did a survey last night. According to the zero-point box office of "Four Famous Catchers", I think it is possible to make a costume film with an investment of less than 100 million. As long as the story is exciting, in the current market The capacity will definitely not be lost.”

"No problem, I'll rush out a notebook first and hand it over to the company for evaluation then!"

When it comes to following the trend, and when it comes to the nose’s keen sense of smell, the entertainment industry is definitely the vanguard.

Later generations and other novel websites will be younger brothers in the entertainment and film industries, and they are educated beings.

On the other side, the major film and television bosses who received the call were not too excited although they recognized the sexy operation on the other end of the phone.

Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, Big Dog Brother, Wu Kebo, and even the two brothers Wang and Xiao, the first thing they thought of was not to follow the trend of "Four Famous Catchers", but Fang Ziheng's fourth project.

"Edge of Tomorrow" is in preparation!

If they can be bosses, they naturally have their own merits.

How much money can you make by following the trend?

What if the popularity of "The Big Four" passes and the audience doesn't buy it anymore?

This group of film and television company CEOs chose the second reason, thinking that the audience believed in Fang Ziheng, so they walked into the cinema to watch "Four Famous Catchers"!

In their opinion, "Edge of Tomorrow" is the real meat and potatoes!

On the morning of June 20, the bosses of several Chinese film giants held a senior executive meeting.

There is only one content in the meeting, and that is to step up the launch of the science fiction 3D project and strive to release it during the Lunar New Year at the end of the year!

As for following the trend of costume films and martial arts films, of course this kind of losing points must be done secretly and cannot be done openly.

Over time, two different perceptions spread to the media.

Three o'clock in the afternoon!

When Fang Ziheng and the creative team were promoting in the imperial capital, reporters stopped him at the entrance of Xingmei Cinema City and asked him his opinion on the matter.

On the crowded steps.

A reporter from Tencent Entertainment was the first to speak. The young man looked excited. He held up the microphone and asked: "Director Fang, do you think the success of "Four Famous Catchers" is due to the recovery of the costume film market, or because the audience recognizes you personally!"

More than a dozen reporters stared at Fang Ziheng, waiting for his answer.

These guys have learned well and will not cause trouble for Fang Ziheng when something is unclear or they do not receive clear instructions from above.

In the words of the editor-in-chief of the morning: If "The Four Famous Catchers" is really a hit at the box office, then Fang Ziheng will definitely join the ranks of great directors. In terms of commercial value and reputation, he will not be inferior to any great Chinese director except Lao Mouzi.

The reporters believed this!

When "Tang Detective" exploded at the box office, many people shouted that Fang Ziheng would become a new commercial director.

This title is not universally recognized, and some media still call Fang Ziheng a new director.

A "Unknown Man" and a "Tang Detective" are not enough for Fang Ziheng to ascend to the great director's seat in the public opinion.

Only with three shots in a row can one build a reputation and become one of the few great and famous directors in the Chinese film industry!

And if Fang Ziheng's third project is a low-profile costume film or martial arts film, then the title will be even louder and the gold content will be higher!

There are more and more people at the entrance of Xingmei Cinema. People always like the excitement. When they see celebrities coming to promote, they squeeze in to have a look without even thinking.

Plus the movie fans who were originally waiting to watch the movie, as well as the audience who walked out of the movie after watching it.

Suddenly, there was a sea of ​​people outside the cinema, which greatly increased the pressure on the security guards to maintain order.

Fang Ziheng pointed to the steps, asked the reporters to step back, and then led everyone to the square.

"There's a loophole in your question!"

""Famous Man" has not yet been successful, and it has not even made a box office on the first day!"

“Achieving good results at the zero-point box office doesn’t mean anything!

It can only be said that my first two films have accumulated some popularity with the audience, and the fans are willing to give me and the film's creative team a chance! "

Fang Ziheng smiled lightly, his mind was very clear, and he was not misled by the reporter's words.

After pointing out the reporter's loopholes, he said unhurriedly: "Whether it is the recovery of the costume film market, or the audience recognizes the director and actors and buys tickets to enter the cinema.

In the final analysis, if a movie wants to be successful, it still depends on the quality and reputation of the movie itself!

The movie's release time can be as little as a month or as long as forty days. You wouldn't think that just relying on my name as a director and the audience's expectations for period films can make "The Four Famous Catchers" a huge success! "

Fang Ziheng's words stunned the reporters!

Bang bang bang.

There was sparse applause.

The audience's eyes lit up and they were very happy.

Fang Ziheng's words spoke to their hearts.

The media knows how to hammer!

Whether a movie is good or not depends on those who pay for the tickets!

After so many years, the reputation of the movie has not been spread with the help of their audience.

After the first question, NetEase Entertainment reporters grabbed the right to ask the second question.

This guy is awesome.

One sentence set the entire scene on fire!

"Director Fang, there is news that the overseas copyright of "Four Fantastic Beasts" has been sold, and the copyright fee is as high as 10 million U.S. dollars?"

"May I ask Director Fang, is this news true?"

Swish, brush, brush!

As soon as the reporter finished speaking, he looked straight at Fang Ziheng.

Not only the reporters wanted to know, but also the citizens who gathered around to watch the excitement wanted to know.

There are rumors on the Internet that making movies makes money, how high are the salaries of stars in the entertainment industry, and which movies have made hundreds of millions.

In the early years, there were even media reports that Lao Mouzi's movies frequently sold tens of millions of dollars in copyrights.

Chen Daren's "The Promise" did not lose money. Before the movie was released, it made a lot of money from foreigners.

People don’t know the authenticity of all kinds of entertainment information, so they can only join in the fun on the Internet.

It was rare to meet Fang Ziheng today. When a reporter asked him this question directly, I couldn't miss it.

The guys were thinking in their hearts, keeping their feet on the ground and squeezing in as hard as they could, hoping to hear the first-hand news.

Fang Ziheng glanced at the reporter from NetEase News and thought to himself that this guy was quite well-informed, and he could get some scraps of this kind of inside information.

He did not avoid the question, nodded and said: "The overseas copyright thing is indeed true!"

"But...it's not ten million dollars!"

Having said this, Fang Ziheng raised two fingers, slowly glanced at the expectant eyes, and smiled mysteriously.

"The copyright of "Four Famous Catchers" was sold for a total of 20 million US dollars!"

Twenty million dollars!

The reporters and the audience were stunned, staring in disbelief.

boom.

Now it's completely boiling!

"Director Fang, which overseas distribution company did the movie sell to?"

"Director Fang, is it true that the movie will be released throughout Southeast Asia next week?"

"Director Fang, Director Fang, please wait. When will the film's creative team go overseas for promotion?"

"Director Fang, I wonder if "Famous Four" will apply for an award at an international film festival this time?"

The reporter was excited!

A swarm of bees surrounded Fang Ziheng, and their crazy moves seemed to swallow him alive.

Five years!

After "The Promise" and "The Banquet", finally a martial arts film can sell over 10 million US dollars in royalties overseas.

If the movie becomes popular overseas, it will once again rewrite the history of Chinese-language films, bring order to chaos, and open a new output channel for Chinese-language costume films and martial arts films.

When that time comes, Fang Ziheng will be really awesome!

Compared with the reporters, the melon-eating crowd was not as excited, but they were all smiling and started discussing happily.

“Damn it, it’s real or fake, a movie sold for 20 million US dollars!”

"Twenty million, it's almost 140 million if converted into soft girl coins. The cost of the movie shouldn't be that much, right?"

"Brother, you are overthinking. The total investment in "Four Famous Catchers" is 200 million, and the overseas copyright can only be said to have recovered 70% of the cost!"

"That one is awesome enough. I'm going to watch it today. If I can make some money as a Yankee, "Famous Man" will definitely be good!"

"Yes, yes, I want to watch it too. It's a martial arts movie, I guess. I used to like watching martial arts TV series from Hong Kong Island. Huang Rihua and Li Ruotong are my idols!"

The big guy and Yourong Yan asked the audience who came out of the cinema how the movie was, and queued up at the door to buy tickets and watch it.

Let's see how awesome "Famous Four" is. It can actually earn Americans 20 million US dollars.

Fang Ziheng didn't know that his truth-telling had a strong impact on the audience and brought immeasurable publicity to "Four Famous Catchers".

Also surprised were the creative team of "Four Famous Catchers"!

Liu Qianqian and Song Yi immediately opened their mouths to form a round zero.

Yaoshou!

'Brother Zi Heng' is so awesome, "Four Famous Catchers" actually sold overseas copyrights!

This is the first thought in the young lady's heart.

Song Yi thought differently. She had already tried Fang Ziheng's power, and it was by no means ordinary.

The first thought in her mind was that this girl had indeed chosen the right man.

The two beauties had stars in their eyes and were full of surprises.

If there weren't too many people present, they would have pounced on Fang Ziheng.

He is handsome, talented, can make money, is gentle to others, and can lead them to fly.

This kind of peerless good man must be held tight.

The promotion of "Four Famous Catchers" continues.

As the screenings went on one after another, in the afternoon and evening, there were more and more reports about the movie on the Internet.

Comments from film critics appear in every corner of the Internet.

Along with the reviews of the movie, the news about the movie's overseas copyright fee of US$20 million also spread.

In 2010, there were already smart phones, and someone clever uploaded a 10-second video!

The video screen shook, and the figures of Fang Ziheng, Liu Qianqian and others appeared, as well as Fang Ziheng's clear and calm voice.

By nine o'clock in the evening, almost everyone on the Internet knew that the overseas copyright of "Four Famous Catchers" had sold for US$20 million.

In order to join the heat, Andy, the vice president of Hengyu Media, posted this news on Weibo and @Fang Ziheng.

Write down the four words: "Boss is awesome"~!

The employees of Hengyu followed suit and gave Fang Ziheng a wave of expressions, kneeling down and shouting that the boss was awesome.

The actors of "The Big Four" were not far behind, showing expressions of surprise and disbelief. @Fang Ziheng complained that he didn't tell them such important news in advance!

Huayi boss Wang Zhongjun also came to join in the fun, @Fang Ziheng, and left a very arrogant word.

"Successful people always succeed. Twenty million US dollars is just the beginning of Director Fang's film career!"

A short sentence!

It not only showed the authenticity of the copyright fee of "Four Famous Catchers", but also stood up to Fang Ziheng in a bright and generous manner, secretly flattering him!

Guangxian and Bona's official blogs followed closely, praising Fang Ziheng for making the wonderful "Famous Man" movie.

At the same time, two guys, Wang Changtian and Yu Dong, also came out, @Xu Zheng and the crew of "囧囧" who had just joined Weibo.

Frankly speaking, "Thailand", produced by Fang Ziheng, directed by Xu Zheng, and starring Xu Zheng, Bao Qiang, and Huang Bo, is about to be filmed and has been announced to be scheduled for the National Day in October!

For a while, the Internet was full of demons, and several major film and television executives took the lead in launching a new round of publicity for "Four Famous Catchers" on Weibo.

When Fang Ziheng learned the news, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

Wang Changtian and Yu Dong are indeed masters of publicity, and they never miss this kind of opportunity.

A four-star hotel in the Fourth Ring Road of the Imperial Capital.

The creative team, who had been promoting for a day, came to the hotel leisure building to relax after dinner and massage.

Liu Qianqian, Song Yi, Da Tiantian, and Li Lianhua played mahjong at the same table and had a great time.

On the sofa next to the four of them, Fang Ziheng, Deng Chao, and Leader Huang were playing Landlords.

Not far away, Uncle Dao Ming and Teacher Guoli were playing billiards. Everyone was smiling and enjoying themselves.

"3 with 1!"

"Take care of it!"

"I can't afford it!"

"Bomb, 34567 straight, I have no cards!"

After playing for an hour, Lao Dengtou lost to Fang Ziheng and Huang Jiaozhu by 20,000 each.

Lao Deng's face turned green. He threw away the playing cards and said, "I won't play with you anymore."

Fang Ziheng was very happy and laughed that he couldn't afford it!

Who knew that this bitch was plausibly saying that he was about to have a wife and couldn't act like you two without wives?

In one sentence, he could instantly kill Fang Ziheng and Master Huang.

Soon, Deng Chao regained his energy and ran to play billiards with Uncle Dao Ming and Teacher Guoli.

Leader Huang took out his phone and happily talked on the phone with Yang Baobei.

Fang Ziheng saw it and left quickly. He didn't want to hear ambiguous love talk.

"Director, are you not playing anymore?"

Liu Qianqian held a mahjong piece in her hand and turned her head to look.

"No more fun. Brother Chao's pocket money has been wiped out by us, and he has lost all his pants."

"Then director, please teach me how to play mahjong. I'm almost losing my pocket money." Liu Qianqian made a sad face and kept waving.

Fang Ziheng walked over and took a look, what a guy.

Song Yi was very lucky today. The chips in front of her were piled up, taking advantage of three companies.

Liu Qianqian, Da Tiantian, and Li Lianhua couldn't beat the little girl together.

The worst thing is that Liu Qianqian has 20,000 chips and only three small green chips left. Even one shot is not enough!

Fang Ziheng sat next to the young lady, very close to her.

Under Song Yi's inexplicable gaze, he acted like a dog-headed military advisor without changing his expression.

Time passed little by little.

In the early morning of the 21st, the first-day box office was finally released.

"Famous" hit a box office of 32.6 million yuan with 2,000 theaters nationwide and an average of 40% of the film schedule.

It exceeded 30 million on the first day!

Breaking Fang Ziheng's personal record, 2.8 million more than "Tang Detective"'s first-day sales of 29.8 million!
