Entertainment, I just like making movies

………

December 23rd.

"Edge of Tomorrow" has been edited and submitted to the Film Bureau for review.

Also participating in the review were leaders from the Propaganda Department, senior military officials, and leaders from the Cultural Affairs Bureau.

After watching the movie, except for the leader of Wenhuakou who raised an opinion, the other leaders had no doubts or dissatisfaction.

In the end, the top military officials gave the final word and the movie was released truthfully without any cuts.

After walking out of the movie office, Fang Ziheng looked at the gray sky and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The movie was reviewed quickly, which he didn't expect.

He thought he would have to fiddle with it for a few days, call it back once or twice to complete the film, and hone the process.

I didn’t expect that the military would support “Edge of Tomorrow” so much!

"Fortunately, the schedule was set in advance!"

Fang Ziheng said softly and walked towards the Audi A6 not far away with his shoulder bag on his back.

He was wearing a thick down jacket today, and his figure was a bit bloated. He looked like a newly graduated college student, and he was out of tune with the industry insiders who came in and out of the film office.

After getting in the car, I turned on the heater immediately and rubbed my hands to warm myself.

The weather in the imperial capital becomes very cold in November, and even more so in December.

Fang Ziheng has no celebrity baggage and no masochistic tendencies, so he will naturally not lose his warmth for the sake of style.

The Audi drove into the bustling street and arrived at a 70% new high-end residential complex in Zhaoyang District in half an hour.

Downstairs of Unit A in Building 12.

Fang Ziheng parked the car, took the shoulder bag from the passenger seat, and walked to the third floor of the unit building.

Didi

Ring the doorbell.

After a while, the door opened a crack, revealing Lin Feifei's beautiful figure.

When she saw it was him, Sister Lin's face lit up, she opened the door and said with a smile, "Why are you done so quickly?"

"Yes, it has passed the review. I will make an appointment with the theater to watch the movie at China Film Group the day after tomorrow and finalize the film schedule." Fang Ziheng patted the shoulder bag on his back and walked into the room carelessly.

This was the first time he came to Lin Feifei's house. He had sent people home twice before. When the car drove downstairs, he didn't get up.

Tonight is the premiere of "If You Are the One 2", and the two of them are going to attend it together. Fang Ziheng said hello to Sister Lin yesterday, and they will come over for lunch.

After entering the house, Concubine Lin bent down, took out a pair of brand new men's warm slippers from the hallway closet, and placed them at his feet.

"I just bought it yesterday. Let's try it to see if it fits."

"Let me try."

Fang Ziheng smiled slightly, obediently took off his sneakers, put his feet into the white warm slippers, and walked into the living room.

“It fits very well and is very comfortable to wear.”

With that said, he took off his down jacket again and began to look at Sister Lin's boudoir.

The house is a medium-sized house with two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, plus a small study room and balcony.

The layout of the room is mostly warm tones, white and bright, with warmth and atmosphere in every detail, which is in line with Sister Lin's cheerful and neat personality.

"Sister, you are already a billionaire, and you don't want to buy a bigger house."

Fang Ziheng took a few glances, sat down on the sofa in the living room, and asked with a smile.

On the coffee table in front of him were a tray of fruit, a roll of napkins, and a crystal ashtray.

The fruits have just been washed and are very fresh, and the ashtray has not been used yet.

Fang Ziheng realized clearly that these should have been prepared by Sister Lin in the past two days.

Thinking of this, he stopped pretending, stood up, opened a window on the balcony, took out a cigarette and lit one.

Concubine Lin made a cup of tea and came over, glanced at him, and said coquettishly: "How do you know I didn't buy it?"

"Really bought it?"

"Of course, not only did I buy it, I also bought several sets."

All right!

He underestimated Sister Lin's financial acumen.

How could a girl from the imperial capital and a child of an official family not understand the trends in real estate?

Fang Ziheng smiled, took the tea cup and took a silent sip.

"You watch TV first, and I'll go cook."

Concubine Lin turned on the TV, tuned to the Six Princess Movie Channel, twisted her waist and entered her bedroom.

On the TV, "Detective Chinatown" was playing, and there was a scene of Tang Ren and Qin Feng causing a scene in the Bangkok Police Station.

In the plot, Bao is a cunning man who tricks the Bangkok police station around, buying Qin Feng a lot of time to check the surveillance video.

Fang Ziheng finished his cigarette and lay on the sofa, leisurely reflecting on the classic detective comedy he had shot.

A few days ago, Bao Qiang got a call and asked if "Detective Chinatown 2" would be filmed next year so that he could reserve enough time.

Fang Ziheng smiled and said there was no rush, he was waiting, and asked Bao Qiang to shoot other movies first.

In the past two years, Baoqiang has starred in four blockbuster movies: "The Road to Nowhere", "The Unknown", "Detective Chinatown", and "囧".

His status has undergone earth-shaking changes, and he has already entered the ranks of the top Chinese actors.

Bao Qiang called, firstly to inquire about the time to launch "Tang Detective 2", and secondly to express his position to Fang Ziheng that he would never let go.

Thirdly, he also tactfully complained that there were too many books for him, with the intention of increasing his salary.

This is human nature. Even if Bao Qiang doesn't have Xu Zheng's ambition, he still hopes that his salary will rise to match his current status.

However, Fang Ziheng does not plan to launch "Tang Detective 2" in the short term. The first part has already been sold at a low price, and the second part must not be released in advance.

His general strategy for next year has two points.

The first is to go back to our roots and film the new project "The Secret of the Dragon".

The second is to develop Hengyu Media, completely set up the company's structure, and prepare for the entry of the three gangsters in the next two years.

The movies are relatively good, and there are a few films that are the foundation. Fang Ziheng's current directing ability has improved again and again, and he is infinitely close to the threshold of a top director.

The key is to develop a company, which is quite difficult.

As the market for movies, TV series, and variety shows becomes more and more prosperous, hundreds of entertainment companies have sprung up starting from this year.

It is easy to set up an entertainment company, find a city supported by the city government to register, and avoid taxes reasonably is a piece of cake.

However, it is even more difficult to build a media group that integrates production, distribution, advertising, brokerage business, theater blessing, and opens up online and offline channels to produce high-quality content every year.

In the entire entertainment industry, one company, Huayi Media, has achieved the above points.

Not counting the Hua Yi brothers. Although they were successfully listed, their theater chain was not good. They only had a few stores to support their appearance. Compared with the top twenty theater chains in the country, they were a weak group.

Bona originally had hope, and the software and hardware were okay, but because it plunged into Nakedas, it missed the opportunity for development.

On the contrary, Wang Changtian's Enlight Media quietly expanded its scale two years later and became the second entertainment industry film and television giant after Huayi Media to connect online and offline and be able to produce and sell its own products.

Later, Wanda came from behind and relied on Wanda Cinema to become its own school. If Big Laowang hadn't sold off its overseas assets, it might have become the first Chinese-speaking multinational film group.

The three giants of the Internet cannot be regarded as standard film and television companies. They should be called entertainment groups.

It is a large-scale entertainment industry that integrates film and television, novels, music, games, animation, and the entire industry.

However, Tencent, Alibaba, and Baidu failed to get involved in the movie theater chain. In the end, they had to spend money to join and establish a distribution company with the physical theater chain.

I remember that in my last life, Hangzhou Jacket Ma persuaded Wanda Pharaoh not to be a theater chain at a party. In the future, home theaters will rise, and fewer and fewer people will go to theaters to watch movies.

Lao Wang dismissed it and replied calmly: couples watch more movies at home or go to the cinema.

This statement hits home. If it were not for the epidemic, China's cinema market would be unprecedentedly prosperous.

Fang Ziheng's goal is the Entertainment Group!

He also disagreed with what Jackma said. Cinemas must be built. They are the only physical assets in the entertainment industry and one of the strongest foundations supporting the entertainment industry.

Another cornerstone of the entertainment industry is the country's major film and television cities.

And Fang Ziheng guessed that Jack Ma didn't want to do theater business, he probably wanted to deceive the big boss.

As long as Big Lao Wang hesitated at that time, Jack Ma's next words would definitely be a lie.

Stop building movie theaters and sell them to Alibaba!

Wanda enters the market, and Tencent, Alibaba, and Baidu will also make moves next year to try their luck in the entertainment industry.

Fang Ziheng could predict the results of the first wave, and he just sat back and watched the show.

Just when he was watching a movie and thinking wildly, Lin Feifei walked out of the bedroom.

Wearing a tight-fitting black sweater and white waisted casual pants on her legs, with her thick hair tied back casually, she looks intellectual, gentle, bright and charming, with a sister-next-door vibe.

Fang Ziheng subconsciously shifted his gaze and looked over.

The two looked at each other.

Each saw the ambiguous tenderness in the other's eyes.

The corners of Lin Feifei's mouth raised in a happy arc, while rolling up her sleeves, she walked towards the kitchen.

She was extremely happy that Fang Ziheng came to the house today.

In her opinion, the little man not only came to pick her up to attend the premiere, but also came to recognize her as a big sister and recognize her family.

Looking at Sister Lin's moving back, Fang Ziheng touched his chin, picked up the remote control and turned down the TV volume.

Instantly, a soft humming sound came from the kitchen.

Tsk tsk

Feeling so good.

With a trace of doubt, Fang Ziheng stood up and walked quietly to the kitchen.

Unfortunately, before he could get closer, Concubine Lin turned around and discovered her.

"What are you doing sneaking around?"

"Sister, let me help you."

Fang Ziheng also developed his shamelessness. He said to help, but he hugged Concubine Lin with both hands.

Concubine Lin's eyes widened: Little villain, are you just going to help me like this?

Fang Ziheng didn't care so much, he hugged her waist close to him and rested his head on her shoulder.

Concubine Lin twisted her waist uneasily and said reservedly: "Don't make trouble, it's almost twelve o'clock."

"Sister, I'm not hungry now."

Fang Ziheng leaned close to her earlobe and breathed.

The next second, his palm arrived like magic.

Half an hour later.

Fang Ziheng was kicked out of the kitchen by Sister Lin. He returned to the sofa and sat down with a contented look on his face. He picked up the tea cup and took several sips.

Since the last premiere of "Earthquake", he, Liu Qianqian and Lin Feifei have been living in a large suite.

With the help of Sister Lin entering the room to get the hair dryer, he came to Long You's lips and teeth, and the relationship between the two was sealed from then on.

Today, I finally got my wish for the second time!

evening.

Fang Ziheng, Lin Feifei and Hengyu's artists attended the premiere of "If You Are the One 2".

Liu Qianqian, Deng Chao and others are still promoting in various places and will not return until the premiere of "Edge of Tomorrow".

Imperial City Happy Valley Cinema Theater.

Fang Ziheng was wearing a long black trench coat, and he took Lin Feifei, who was also wearing a trench coat and scarf, out of the car like a gentleman.

After an afternoon of tiredness, Sister Lin's bright eyes were shining, her skin was white and rosy, and a hint of beauty was looming between her eyebrows.

At first glance, there is a sense of déjà vu as when the great beauty was nourished.

But that's not the case at all.

In the afternoon, Fang Ziheng's hands were itchy, so he took Sister Lin and gave her a full-body massage.

Sister Lin looked so energetic after taking a dose of white medicine and relaxing her body and mind.

Theater entrance.

Mr. Huayi Xiaowang led people to greet the guests. When he saw Fang Ziheng and Lin Feifei, he quickly smiled and stepped forward to give them hands.

"Haha, Director Fang and Mr. Lin are finally here. Welcome."

"Mr. Wang, you're welcome. How many people rushed to attend Director Feng's movie premiere."

Fang Ziheng stretched out his hand and shook Wang Zhonglei's hand. A large group of artists behind him nodded in unison and shouted "Mr. Wang" in unison.

Wang Zhonglei looked at everyone with a smile and couldn't help but sigh: "Hengyu Media is full of talents. Not only does Mr. Fang make good movies, but the company has also grown so fast. I envy others!"

"It's just a small fight, Huayi's market value will soon exceed the 26 billion mark, and Hengyu is still far behind."

Fang Ziheng waved his hand and refused to take this issue.

There are two brothers, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhongjun. The eldest brother Wang Zhongjun is courageous and visionary. The younger brother Wang Zhonglei is good at dancing. He has a lot of friends in the circle, but they are not easy to get along with.

Hengyu and Huayi have cooperated several times. Although there have been no conflicts, there are still some things that need to be reserved.

Hua Yi, who has a criminal record, is very afraid of other companies disturbing his status as the number one giant in the entertainment industry.

After exchanging a few words, Fang Ziheng led people into the theater.

As soon as I walked in, I saw Feng Pants being interviewed.

He stood on a small high platform, with dozens of entertainment reporters surrounding him.

"Director Feng, "Let the Bullets Fly" has exceeded 400 million. It is very popular and is likely to reach a height of 780 million. Do you feel any pressure?"

"Director Feng, "Edge of Tomorrow" has also stepped up its promotion efforts. It will be released in more than a week. The time interval between "If You Are the One 2" and "If You Are the One 2" is less than ten days. Do you think the two movies will affect each other's box office harvest?"

The two questions seem pertinent, but they have hidden murderous intent.

No matter how Feng Tongtong answers, it will be misunderstood by the media and sent out to compete for popularity.

Fang Ziheng let go of Lin Feifei and asked her to leave with the artists first.

He wanted to hear how Feng Pants boasted and learn from his predecessors.

Concubine Lin's eyes flashed, worried that he would be dug up by reporters, and she immediately waved to Zeng Li.

"Lion, please watch Lao Fang, don't let him be tricked by reporters."

"rest assured."

Zeng Li glanced at Lin Feifei's complexion, walked to Fang Ziheng in two steps, and took his arm generously.

Fang Ziheng had no choice but to take Zeng Li with him.

Really, why do girls chat with each other? Why don’t they just chat with their friends?

Little did he know that Concubine Lin was not only worried about him getting involved in the quarrel between reporters and Feng Pants, she was also worried about him being abducted by other glamorous female celebrities.

With Zeng Li standing in front of him, he could always resist several waves of female stars who were plotting evil things.

Along the way, people frequently came up to say hello to Fang Ziheng, with respectful tones and impeccable expressions and attitudes.

Fang Ziheng wore a faint smile and nodded to the colleagues and "weak people" who greeted him. He was neither alienated nor close, maintaining the majesty of a great director.

Holding Zeng Li on his arm, he walked through the theater lounge and came to a small platform ten meters away.

Fang Ziheng looked at it and found a seat at random to sit down.

Seeing that he looked like a melon-eater, Zeng Li pursed his lips with a smile and pinched him lightly.

How old are you, but you still like to make things out of nothing and join in the fun.

At this time, the reporters asked all the questions at once.

Feng Peng's expression also changed from happy to dissatisfied, and his face that was smiling just now was completely frightened.

He stared with a pair of bull's eyes and felt very angry.

What a fuck!

This group of dog reporters didn’t give out red envelopes first today, so they behaved like this!

Thinking of the summer season being swayed by the media and being unreasonably criticized by the audience, Feng's pants and scalp exploded, and the anger he had been restraining could no longer be suppressed.

grass!

Since you insist on bumping into each other, don't blame me, Mr. Feng!

Isn't it just a cannon fire? I will do what you want today!

He pointed at the reporter who asked the first question and said in a deep voice: "You just said that "Let the Bullets Fly" is expected to reach 700 to 800 million yuan. This is a good thing. It shows that our movie market is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people are watching movies. "

"But you use "Let the Bullets Fly" to compete with "If You Are the One 2". What do you want to explain? If you want to stir up trouble, just say it. Don't beat around the bush. I, Feng Xiaogang, am not afraid of this.

"Let the Bullets Fly" currently only has a box office of more than 400 million. There is still a long way to go before it can reach 780 million. You should wait until the movie exceeds 600 million. Come and ask me this question! "

As expected of Feng Pants.

It’s so old Versailles, and it’s a classic self-praise when he opens his mouth.

"Earthquake" exceeded 600 million in the summer release. Feng Pengteng asked reporters to wait until "Let the Bullets Fly" exceeded 600 million before asking him, which was a slap in the reporter's face.

For a movie that didn’t even break the bank of 600 million yuan, a dog reporter dared to use it against Feng Xiaogang. He must be crazy.
