Entertainment, I just like making movies

Changcheng.

A famous cultural city with a long history.

Also known as Hongcheng, Hongdu, Yuzhang and Hero City.

In the preface of Tengwang Pavilion, "Hongdu New Mansion and Yuzhang Former Residence" are the ancient origins of Changcheng.

The name of the Hero City needs no further introduction. During the August 1st Uprising, the Chinese people took the first shot at becoming the masters of their own country!

Fang Ziheng and Liu Ye drove a car and traveled lightly. They first arrived at Tengwang Pavilion, the first of the three famous buildings in Jiangnan.

Liu Ye was also very popular in poetry. He used his mobile phone to read "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" and read it loudly while standing on the top floor, attracting the attention of many tourists.

Then the two went to Changcheng History Museum, Haihunhou Site, Xishan Wanshou Palace, and August 1st Memorial Hall.

It wasn't until six o'clock in the evening that the two of them returned to the hotel.

night.

Fang Ziheng organized the New Year's Eve dinner and took the vanguard of the "The Founding of the Army" crew to prepare several tables.

There are hundreds of people in the scenery group, props group, blasting group, and equipment group.

After dinner that night, Fang Ziheng originally wanted to book a movie for everyone to watch, in order to contribute to the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons".

As a result, an employee who went to the cinema in the afternoon told me that "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was too popular and it was impossible to buy tickets.

Not to mention booking the venue, sporadic tickets are difficult to obtain unless you find scalpers.

Speaking of which, although "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" can't break the record of the first day of "The Great Wall" on the first day, it is still not a problem to break 100 million.

The popularity of the movie can be seen from the following media reports on the Internet. Cinemas across the country were almost full.

If "The Great Wall" is included, the film market this year and next will reach unprecedented highs.

The single-day market is expected to exceed 200 million box office!

Fang Ziheng received a text message from Lin Feifei, saying that the number of users of Hengyu Maoyan APP has increased dramatically in the past two days and will soon exceed 40 million registered users.

In the winter, movie fans are unwilling to queue up in movie theaters to grab tickets. Most of them choose to buy tickets online.

In the early morning of February 8, the first-day box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was released.

Without any surprise, the box office on the first day exceeded 100 million.

108.6 million!

The fourth Chinese-language film to have a box office of over 100 million on its first day.

At this moment, the appeal of the King of Comedy is undoubtedly revealed!

After receiving the data, Fang Ziheng smiled with satisfaction, then turned off the light and went to bed.

The movie had a successful start, and the publicity and distribution departments would follow up, so he hardly had to worry about it.

"The Great Wall" is also very good, with crazy harvest, once again hitting the box office of more than 58 million yuan in a single day.

Counting the three days of February 4th, 5th, and 6th, the total box office easily exceeded 1.1 billion, reaching 1.167 billion.

In one day at most, "The Great Wall" can hit 1.2 billion.

Hengyu Media participated in both movies, and they were the best winners in the Lunar New Year and Spring Festival movies.

Just when Fang Ziheng fell asleep peacefully.

There are also more and more movie reviews about "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" on the Internet.

The character of Sun Wukong in the movie is regarded by countless viewers as Stephen Chow talking about himself and is a true portrayal of him in reality.

Douban column film review: "Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, a man of great power who shocked the world and wept ghosts and gods. He was trapped under the Wuzhi Mountain for five hundred years. Looking back, he is already old, his high-spiritedness and handsomeness are no longer there.

When the author first saw Huang Bo's image on the screen, he immediately shouted in his heart: Master Xing, this character is the incarnation of Master Xing, and the self in Master Xing's heart. "

Chief film critic of Huaguo Movie Network: "From Starboy, Star Brother, Star Master to the King of Comedy, Stephen Chow has experienced the sadness of almost all the bottom workers in the film and television industry. At that time, he moved forward bravely, without scruples, and dedicated a movie to the audience. Another classic movie.

After ascending to the altar, Mr. Xing was hailed as the King of Comedy by the public. Looking back, he found that he could only reminisce about the past, and his lovers, friends, and partners around him left him one by one.

Master Xing has endless strength, but it is difficult to express the regret in his heart, leaving only loneliness and sadness! "

Weibo new media film review: "In "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons," rather than saying that Stephen Chow is bottling new wine in an old bottle, it is better to say that he is describing himself. The once invincible God of War, Sun Wukong, who was bald and white-haired, is different from the current Star Master. resemblance."

Southern Metropolis Entertainment: "Stephen Chow is getting old. It can be seen from "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" that comedy is the surface and regret is the core. He is missing the beauty he once lost and the sincere feelings he lost with his own hands!"

The media boasted about it and identified the Monkey King in the movie as Stephen Chow's own portrayal.

Movie fans have another view, thinking that Tang Monk is the star himself, and believe that the entire movie is paying tribute to one person.

A woman has passed away that he can never let go of in his life.

Including the lines of the movie, the name of the heroine, and the time of the movie's release, the woman is commemorated from the beginning to the end.

Especially that woman said she wanted to get married and have a child with Stephen Chow.

In the movie and in reality, Stephen Chow's answer is exactly the same!

The words "You must be crazy" made him regret for the rest of his life.

That woman's departure made him unable to forgive himself for the rest of his life, and regarded it as a lifelong regret.

Two kinds of comments are circulating on the Internet at an alarming speed.

Stephen Chow's past in his early years has once again been uncovered by viewers with extraordinary powers.

Huge traffic.

Wave after wave of topic discussions.

This made "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" even more popular, and the feelings previously promoted resurfaced in the hearts of netizens and audiences.

No matter what the movie tells, Star Master is indeed old.

As a movie fan and an audience who likes his movies, I can only support him and give him my last movie ticket.

The next two days.

"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" continues its efforts and shows strong box office longevity.

New Year’s Day: 98 million.

The second day of the Lunar New Year: 95 million.

After three days of release, the total box office was 301.6 million, creating the best start for Stephen Chow's personal films.

Imperial capital.

The residence of Wang Zhongjun, Chairman of Huayi.

Early in the morning, this guy climbed out of bed, leisurely put on a baseball cap and went out for a morning run.

These past few days can be said to be the happiest days for him, Wang Zhongjun, in more than half a year.

In addition to Huayi's listing that year, "Tang Shang Earthquake", which it mainly produced, and "Chinatown Detective" and "Edge of Tomorrow" that it participated in were released.

The release of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" brought him the biggest surprise.

300 million in three days!

Once upon a time, this kind of elusive movie box office was always the exclusive domain of Fang Ziheng and Hengyu Media.

Hua Yikong has the first name in Chinese film and television, and he can only watch helplessly and drool with envy.

Now, it’s finally Hua Yi’s turn!

Stephen Chow is worthy of being the king of comedy. A renovated version of "Journey to the West" can achieve such amazing results.

Wang Zhongjun jogged back and forth in the villa area twice, took a shower in a happy mood, and then made himself tea.

While waiting for my wife’s breakfast, I happily opened the Hengyu Maoyan APP to check the latest trends of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

From time to time, he would click on Weibo and browse hot searches and movie reviews on the Internet.

So cool!

"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" may not be able to beat "The Great Wall" in total box office, but it doesn't matter, his requirements are not high.

Breaking one billion is enough!

According to his prediction, the stock market was closed during the Chinese New Year, just in time for "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" to hit the box office.

It seems that it cannot beat "The Great Wall", but it can firmly occupy the publicity market.

When the stock market opens after the year, news of the movie's success will instantly boost Huayi's stock price.

This time, no one can prevent Huayi’s total market value from exceeding 60 billion.

No one can!

Wang Zhongjun looked excited and confident.

However..

Before he could finish his breakfast, a phone call suddenly came in.

"Chairman, something happened!"

"Starting at seven o'clock in the morning, a large number of trolls suddenly appeared on the Internet to smear "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". The momentum was so fierce that I couldn't even delete it!"

"What?"

Wang Zhongjun was immediately startled, and shouted sternly into the phone with a gloomy face: "What's going on? Wasn't everything fine last night?"

"Where's the PR department! Where did they die?"

"The public relations department has already gone into battle and is deleting the post while contacting the studio behind the troll."

"I'll come to the company right away!"

Wang Zhongjun snorted coldly, stopped eating breakfast, put on his clothes and hurried out.

nine in the morning.

Just when he stepped through the door of Huayi Headquarters, dozens of new media outlets came out and exposed the black material of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

"Recently, "Journey to the West" directed by the king of comedy, Stephen Chow, became very popular during the Spring Festival. The total box office in the three days of release exceeded 300 million, which is an overwhelming momentum. According to the predictions of relevant departments, the film's trend is very likely to break the record of last year's "The Secret of the Dragon".

Success means traveling to the west, failure means traveling to the west!

As the movie became popular, controversy also followed.

During the Chinese New Year, many families brought their children to the cinema, looking forward to watching a family-friendly movie about Journey to the West. No one expected that "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" would have very terrifying scenes, and many children were frightened and cried on the spot.

Below are the latest photos from theaters across the country. From the photos, you can see a child sitting in the theater, crying miserably, with a look of horror on his little face. "

"'Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons' contains a series of terrifying scenes, and the cries of children are frequently heard in theaters across the country!"

"Grading and grading movies are imperative. Pictures with restrictions like "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" must not be released during the Spring Festival!"

A psychologist from a university said: "The movie "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" is very good. I took my wife and teenage daughter to watch the movie yesterday.

Indeed, there are many scenes in the movie that are not suitable for children. My daughter is already in junior high school and she was so scared that she closed her eyes when she saw the horrific scenes, let alone a child of several years old.

I also suggest parents not to watch "Journey to the West" with their children, especially children under the age of 12. Being frightened by the scary scenes will cause stress, panic, and psychological discomfort. I hope parents will be cautious. "

An educational institution said: "Children are the future flowers of the motherland, and spiritual construction takes time. "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was well shot and is a good movie, but the scenes in the movie are indeed inappropriate for children.

We sincerely call on the current film and television companies to make money in a prudent manner and put morality first. When promoting a movie before its release, please issue a warning announcement to the public in advance, informing the public that there are R-rated scenes in the movie and that it is not suitable for children to watch. Thank you! "

Serious filmmaker: "You are selling a sheep's head and selling it as dog meat! "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is called a family comedy, but there are continuous bloody and terrifying scenes in the movie.

Forgive me for saying this, but Stephen Chow's approach, the producers' and distributors' actions did not consider the audience's reaction at all, nor did they care about children. "

Fans of Mr. Xing: "I'll go, I came here to see a comedy, but you put some bloody corpses in there. Is it really a good time to celebrate the Chinese New Year!"

"I don't like Stephen Chow anymore. I don't even care about the bottom line just to make money!"

"Hua Yi, Hengyu Media, you two companies that support the evildoers, why do you still insist on promoting it as a family comedy movie even though you know that there are a lot of horrific scenes in the movie? How shameless you are!"

Wave after wave of black material was uploaded to Weibo by trolls.

The black material is well-founded, including screenshots of horrific scenes from the movie, as well as photos of children crying in the movie theater.

In less than half an hour, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was on the hot search list due to its excessive gore, horrific scenes, and news that made children cry.

There are three of them as soon as you board them, and you can't stop them!

Then continue.

Across the country, many groups claiming to be parents, as well as teachers, scholars, and educators have come out to criticize the movie.

As if it was agreed upon, as soon as it became a hot search topic, it was criticized by others, calling on the public to boycott "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

Until noon.

Some filmmakers also appeared frequently, some were interviewed, and some were interviewed by entertainment magazines and new media, talking about film classification and children's mental health issues.

Huayi Headquarters.

Wang Zhongjun looked gloomy, more embarrassed than eating a dead rat.

When the movie was released, he guessed that opponents would smear it and asked the public relations department to take precautions.

But he really didn't expect such a large, neat and organized revelation.

Starting from the terrifying scenes in the movie, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was instantly brought to an embarrassing level.

Not suitable for children!

Parents, please be careful!

Hua Yi helped Zhou do evil!

To make a fortune, morality comes first!

Every noun that occupies the highest point makes the eyes of those who watch it jump wildly.

Wang Zhongjun's face was livid, and he could no longer control the anger in his heart. He slapped the table and yelled: "I'm going to have a horse race to see which bastard is causing trouble for me!"

"Where's Hengyu Media? What did that guy Fang Ziheng say?"

"Chairman, I just had a phone call with Ning You, director of the Publicity Department of Hengyu Media. Her opinion is not to intercept, but only to conduct propaganda.

In addition, Director Ning also said that people could be sent to find some children who were crying in the cinema, and ask their parents face to face to win their understanding. "

"What's the meaning?"

Wang Zhongjun was stunned for a moment and stared at Zhou Mo who was reporting to him.

Hengyu, Director Ning, must have had his head caught in the door panel, and he went to find the parents of the crying child.

Doesn't she think the trouble is not big enough?

Zhou Mo sighed slightly and then explained: "Chairman, please seek parents' understanding so that we can turn from passive to active. On the one hand, we can suppress remarks that are not suitable for children, and on the other hand, we can focus on promoting the love and comedy themes of the movie.

Valentine’s Day is coming up in a few days, and you know the spending power of couples! "

I see!

This is a good idea.

Wang Zhongjun's face softened slightly, nodded and asked: "Look, this is the publicity ability of other companies. When can you make me, the boss, worry less? I will burn incense like Amitabha!"

"Chairman, this was the idea of ​​Fang Ziheng, the boss of Hengyu Media." Zhou Mo took two steps back and said softly.

Wang Zhongjun: "."

Are you projecting on me?

roll roll roll.

Get out of here quickly.

He waved his hand violently, telling Zhou Mo to act quickly and suppress the comments on the Internet about what was inappropriate for children.

boom..

The door is closed.

Wang Zhongjun came to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the brightly decorated street under the office building with a confused expression.

"Fang Ziheng, it has to be you!"

"Forget it, Lao Wang, let me thank you first and give you "Di Renjie: The Dragon King of the Divine City"."

Wang Zhongjun murmured to himself, with a look of reluctance.

And our boss Fang didn’t pay any attention to the dirty information in “Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons”.

He didn't even know that because he had come up with the idea, Wang Zhongjun's resentment towards him had subsided a lot, and he was willing to hand over the sequel to "Detective Dee" to Hengyu for investment.

He was currently at Changcheng Airport, leaning in front of a black Mercedes-Benz, looking up at the slowly descending plane in the sky.

The young lady came to Changseong from the Han River!

It’s so cool!
