Entertainment, I just like making movies

Five forty.

The door to the lounge was pushed open, and Fang Ziheng walked in and smiled at the three of them: "You guys got here very quickly."

"Chairman, you are back."

Guo Fan's face lit up, he stood up quickly, rubbed his hands, and looked at him as he entered the door.

Zhong Lifang and Zhang Miao took a step slowly and chuckled: "Chairman, we have just arrived."

"Okay, everyone, sit down."

Fang Ziheng took off his suit, sat down on another single sofa, rubbed his brows and said.

Seeing that he seemed a little tired, Zhong Lifang pursed her lips without bending to sit down, but walked up to the tea table and made a cup of hot tea herself.

On the sofa, Fang Ziheng took Zhong Lifang's documents, flipped through them casually, and asked, "Lao Guo, have you read the book "The Wandering Earth"? How do you feel about it?"

"I've read it, both the novel and the first draft of the script."

Guo Fan straightened up, put his hands on his knees, and said solemnly: "Chairman, the script is very good, I want to shoot it!"

This guy was afraid that Fang Ziheng would ask him to be the assistant director again, so he immediately declared his sovereignty to direct "The Wandering Earth".

"The Wandering Earth"!

It is the first sci-fi film in the true sense of Chinese cinema and a pioneer in the history of Chinese films. No director wants to miss it!

Guo Fan wanted to shoot this script, Wen Muye wanted to shoot it, Hao Yi and Wu Jing also wanted to shoot it. Even Lao Mouzi, who was in the Warring States Film and Television City, called Fang Ziheng to ask if the director had made a decision and when the project would be approved. .

If it can be filmed well, whether it is the director or the starring role, it will definitely leave a mark in film history.

At present, the second phase of the Hengyu Film and Television Base is mostly completed. It will be completed in March or April next year at most, and the third phase of the project will begin.

It will take up to a year for "The Wandering Earth" to be launched.

The free time during this period is just perfect for preparing for various aspects of the film, including the crew, film creators, costumers, special effects team, etc.

Fang Ziheng ignored Guo Fan's eagerness and said in a deep voice: "The current script still needs polishing. You can bring someone from the screenwriting department to visit the author Liu Cixin in person and try to perfect the script before the National Day."

"No problem, leave this to me!" Guo Fan was so happy when he heard this, he patted his chest and promised to complete the task.

Afterwards, Fang Ziheng looked at Zhang Miao and warned: "The props and special effects involved in "The Wandering Earth" are too complicated. You must always keep an eye on the preparation progress. It is best to find a heavy industry company with the prefix "国" for help."

"I will, chairman, please rest assured."

Zhang Miao nodded slightly. As a producer, he took the lead in the early stage.

Fang Ziheng stopped and didn't explain much. The project had just started and many things had to be done step by step.

At this time, Zhong Lifang came over with hot tea, pushed it in front of him, and said softly: "Chairman, the preliminary preparations for "Immortality" are almost complete. Tengxun Pictures keeps urging us to ask when the production will start."

"No rush, just waiting."

Fang Ziheng stretched out his two fingers and tapped the coffee table twice, and smiled faintly: "Teng Xun is anxious because he doesn't have a big production in hand. We are different. Every project must be prepared before starting."

"Immortal" is Hengyu's first film in the Mythology series, with a total investment of up to 500 million, and the emphasis is no less than that of "The Wandering Earth".

In fact, because there was no experience to follow, filming was more difficult than "The Wandering Earth".

"The Wandering Earth" can still find help from relevant departments such as China Heavy Industry and Aviation, and it can also find inspiration from Hollywood blockbusters.

"Immortal" is different. Apart from a perfect script, everything else has to be crossed by feeling the stones, and the difficulty level soars!

Fang Ziheng looked through the various preparation progress of "Immortal" for a while, pointed to one of the documents and said: "Lifang, we need to send special personnel to check the service, and separate the roles, forces, and classes."

"I understand, I'll have people keeping an eye on this personally."

Zhong Lifang nodded, took out her mobile phone, took a picture of what Fang Ziheng pointed out, and sent it to Liu Liang, deputy director of Hengyu Film Division, and Zeng Cheng, general manager of Hengyu Props Company.

Next, Fang Ziheng read the script of "Immortality" again.

The setting at the beginning of the story.

Billions of years ago, a Taoist palace blooming with colorful light broke through time and space and landed on the Kunlun Mountains of China.

All the tribes in China gathered in Kunlun. After a fight, they discussed the big plan and worshiped Daogong as the god of inheritance and the ancestor of education.

At this point, the myth flows out.

Pangu opened the sky, and Taoist ancestors passed down the world.

The human race and tribes on the land of China have made offerings to Pangu, Tao Ancestor, and their own tribal ancestral totems.

For hundreds of years, various tribes practiced the immortal methods passed down by the Taoist Palace, and gradually became stronger and swept across the entire Chinese continent.

Thousands of years later, the Great War broke out.

Humans, immortals, demons, witches and monsters coexist, and the age of mythology is coming.

Ten thousand years later, the protagonist of the story, Li Qing, a person from Earth, traveled to the land of China and became a sixteen-year-old boy in the Taiyi Dynasty, one of the three major dynasties of the human race.

After a brief period of confusion, the casual Li Qing accepted the fact of time travel. After learning that there were immortals in this world, he became determined to cultivate immortality and seek immortality.

There are seven movies in the "Immortality" series, and each movie is divided into two parts, or three parts, a two-hour movie.

There are seven parts in the series, each with one protagonist. Li Qing is the protagonist of the first movie. He can also be called the son of luck and the son of the road in the first movie.

The protagonists of the subsequent six films are Nuwa, the Great Heavenly Lord Zhang Bairen, Xuanyuan Human Emperor, Demon Emperor Taiyi, Erlang Shen Yang Jian, and the First Emperor Yingzheng.

Except for the first Li Qing, who is a time traveler, the other protagonists are all figures from mythology and history.

Hengyu spent huge sums of money to create a seven-part series, mainly to review the mythological background of hundreds of millions of years from top to bottom, and to use movies to set the tone for large-scale mythological stories.

Using the seven protagonists as a channel, a thrilling longevity story is set, describing the mythological background from hundreds of millions of years ago to the First Emperor Yingzheng.

To put it bluntly, it is to use seven series and use the endless myths and legends of China to create the source of the mythical universe of Hengyu Media.

Then use the source of this mythological universe to branch out, and all mythological novels such as The Legend of the Gods, Journey to the West, The Immortal Couple, The White Snake, The Legend of Shushan, etc. can be incorporated into it.

Even many online novels can be included.

The source of myth is in the land of China!

Whether it is a story that takes place in the land of China or a story that takes place outside China, everything takes the land of China as its source and the seven series as its source.

With seven series and twenty-one movies, countless mythological characters can be explained. The source characters of subsequent mythological movies can be found in the seven series.

As for the timeline after the First Emperor, it doesn't matter.

For example, a certain protagonist in modern times came to Kunlun on earth during his cultivation, and came to the land of China in various ways, and then interacted with characters in mythology, creating a story.

In the setting of the mythical universe, the land of China is the second source, and the world is the exciting process of various movie stories.

The earth is also one of the universes, with endless parallel time and space. It is the birthplace of every movie protagonist.

The protagonist appears on the stage, and it is a closed loop from the "Earth" to the heavens and the world, and then to the land of China.

The protagonist appears on the stage, from another 'Earth' to the land of China, and then to the heavens and worlds, another closed loop.

The role of "Immortal" is not to peak at the box office, but to set the tone in the hearts of the public.

With a certain base and traces to follow, Hengyu Media can fill it with countless evocative and thrilling stories.

Immortality, power, love, evil spirits, conquest of all realms, annihilation of the world, the rise of the human race, the chaos of the demon race, etc., can always fill a movie story that the audience is looking forward to.

On the seven series branches, there is an inexhaustible supply of stories!

Moreover, Hengyu can also add sources from time to time, create sources, and open up more branches.

On the Qidian Chinese website, good mythological novels are born every year, and you can cut them out and add them in.

According to Fang Ziheng's prediction, the first part of "Immortality" will not be launched until at least September.

After "The God of Medicine", he needs to take a good rest for some time.

After giving some instructions to Zhong Lifang, Fang Ziheng took a few sips from the tea cup and turned his attention to the documents Zhang Miao brought.

This document contains the script, preparation and shooting plan for "In the Name of the People".

The main thing is preparation. If you want to shoot such a high-anti-corruption film and television drama, you must get approval from the Propaganda Department and above.

And if you want to take exciting and meaningful photos, you need to get through several major departments and get a shooting license.

In the previous life, the original version of "In the Name of the People" managed all these things, but it was still emasculated a lot during the review process.

After the broadcast started, many waves were created out of thin air.

This project is similar to "I'm Not the God of Medicine" and must be handled with caution.

It's okay if you don't shoot. Once it's started, it's best to clear out any problems that may arise so that it can be launched smoothly.

"Don't decide on the actor first, go through the review first."

“The project was established in the names of the three investors, Hengyu Interactive Entertainment, Baoli, and Tudou Video, and each department went through it. There was also a license for the filming location. All aspects that could check and balance filming, review, and broadcasting had to be finalized before the production started. .”

After flipping through the documents, Fang Zizheng made a decision and asked Zhang Miao to take the lead.

Half past six in the evening.

Fang Ziheng returned to the palace just in time for dinner.

Little Yueyue was drinking Nono on the sofa, her posture was strange and she was very leisurely. When she heard the door opening, her ears twitched twice and she turned around suddenly.

"Baba. Baba."

When her father came back, little Yueyue was filled with a smile of joy, turned over, slid off the sofa, and ran over with her short legs.

She didn't go to the guy who took her to eat, and ran while holding the white milk bottle in her arms tightly.

"Yueyue...Dad is back."

Fang Ziheng didn't even have time to change his shoes, he smiled and knelt down to take little Yueyue into his arms, holding her in one hand and holding the bottle in the other.

Bah.

After kissing his daughter on the cheek, Fang Ziheng stood up with little Yueyue in his arms and said dotingly: "Good Yueyue, do you miss your father?"

"think!"

Little Yueyue nodded heavily, her innocent big eyes narrowed into crescent moons, not to mention how happy she was.

She buried her little head in Fang Ziheng's arms, grabbed her father's shoulder with her left hand, stretched out her right hand crookedly and pointed to the kitchen, muttering: "Baba...Mom..."

"Mom is in the kitchen, right? Let's go see her."

Fang Ziheng understood his daughter's babbling in seconds, took off his shoes, carried his daughter to the kitchen, and opened the kitchen door.

In the kitchen, Zeng Li and Fang Rou's mother were cooking.

Knowing that Fang Ziheng would return to the palace tonight, Zeng Li specially cooked to help Aunt Fang have time to cook two more Yuzhang dishes.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the two of them turned around. A smile appeared on Zeng Li's beautiful face, and he said softly: "You are back."

"We just arrived. Sister, what delicious food did you make? It smells so good."

Fang Ziheng did not enter the kitchen. He stood outside the door and took a look. He felt that his index finger was beating frequently and he was so hungry.

Just like him, there was little Yueyue in his arms. The little guy's nose twitched, he closed his eyes, and kept smelling the aroma of vegetables.

It felt like the nonano in my mouth had no taste.

"Just a few home-cooked dishes, all your favorites."

As soon as Zeng Li saw his appearance, he knew that he was really hungry. He took off his apron and took Xiao Yueyue over.

The little guy couldn't bear to leave his father and kept struggling in his mother's arms.

At this time, Aunt Fang put the braised fish on the plate, nodded to Fang Ziheng, and said with a smile: "You are hungry, you go take a shower first, I will cook two dishes and then start the meal."

"Okay, thank you, auntie!"

As he said that, he took advantage of Aunt Fang's turning back and quickly pecked Zeng Li on the mouth and Xiao Yueyue on the face, then happily went upstairs.

night.

Little Yueyue fell asleep.

Fang Ziheng dragged Zeng Li to the study room, chatting and checking the latest movie data.

"Sister, can I tell you something?"

"What's up?"

Zeng Li whispered, with a hint of charm in his voice.

She was wearing a long black dress that was smooth and silky. She was sitting on Fang Ziheng's lap with her back, holding the desk with one hand and dragging the hand sign with the other.

Fang Ziheng kissed Zeng Li's shoulder blade and whispered, "Sister Feifei said she wanted to have a child."

moment

Under his touch, Zeng Li's body remained still, then twisted twice violently.

"This is a good thing. Concubine is not young anymore. She should have a child!"

At that moment, Beauty Zeng's heart trembled for no reason, and she felt the jealousy and sourness of an ordinary woman.

Fang Ziheng guessed this situation, so he greeted her in advance.

Before, when Zeng Li wanted to have a child, he had communicated with Liu Qianqian, Lin Feifei, and Song Yi in advance.

Although they are scumbag, they respect them enough!

Zeng Li's jealousy went away as quickly as it came.

She raised her wide hips slightly, stepped back, and said coquettishly: "You, my concubine was right at the beginning, you are really a big pig's hoof, specializing in eating grass from the side of the nest."

"Really? I'll eat this beauty plant first!"

The movie market in mid-to-late July can be called the world of "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

After the explosion in the previous seven days, the box office trend only saw a small drop, but it is still unparalleled.

On July 14th, July 15th, and July 16th, the box office revenue was about 140 million for three consecutive days, and it fell below 100 million in a single day in the next four days.

The steady stream of audiences gives the movie the greatest support for its stamina.

Seven days passed, July 21st.

The new week's box office results are out, and "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is firmly on the top, with a box office of 780 million again in seven days.

The average daily box office is 110 million, and it has been the single-day box office champion for a week.

The movie was released for 14 days, and the total box office reached 2.405 billion!

In less than half a month, it broke the 2 billion record set by "Tang Detective 2".

On the Internet, the voices of "The God of Medicine" and Fang Ziheng being invincible are everywhere.

With tens of millions of moviegoers, "The God of Medicine" not only completely detonated the Internet, but also triggered countless discussions offline.

Under the deliberate guidance of Sixth Princess, Hengyu, Sohu, and Weibo, the topic gradually changed from movies to medical topics.

Another Hollywood blockbuster, "Transformers 4", experienced a box office plunge for the third time, with a box office of only 110 million in seven days in the new week.

Compared with the previous life, the box office was a full 50 million less.

The total box office of the movie reached 1.79 billion 24 days after its release, which is far away from 1.8 billion.

That is to say, today, China Film once again invested 20 million in publicity expenses for the film, trying to attract a wave of popularity.

However, the effect is not obvious. Diving in "Transformation 4" next week is inevitable, it just depends on how much it jumps and how little it jumps.

Hollywood movies only have one month to be released, and in seven days, "Transformers 4" will be released.

Not to mention the 2 billion mark, 1.9 billion has already passed!

In the previous life, "Transformation 4" was the dominant one, filling the entire July, with a total box office of only 1.977 billion, failing to break the 2 billion mark.

July 22nd.

When "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was released for half a month and its total box office exceeded 2.4 billion, the movie was featured on the seven o'clock news.

Along with this, three Weibo official websites, including Tuantuan and Ziguangge, liked the movie and promoted "I'm Not the God of Medicine" to hundreds of millions of people in China.

This is a signal.

Some bosses lowered their gaze and paid attention to the essence of the movie.
