literary world

The backstage of Diaoyutai State Guesthouse is very lively.

After Fang Nan and his group entered, all they saw were the top stars of the entertainment show, and any two of them could play the lead role in an A-level movie or TV series.

More than half of the contracted artists of Tangtang Film and Television came.

Sidan Shuangbing on the big screen, Sixiaohuadan on the small screen.

Xu Shanzheng, Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang, Wu Jing, Ge Guangtou, Deng Chao, Hu Ge, Chen Kun and other domestic entertainment actors are almost all in recent years.

Many famous directors and stars from Xiangjiang also came, such as Mr. Xu, Huang Weiming, Zhang Zhiling and Yuan Yongyi, Cheng Long, Liu Dehua, etc.
"Why did you invite so many people?"

Fang Nan walked towards the leaders of the General Administration and President Han, and at the same time asked Cai Yinong who greeted him at the door.

"When we first prepared for the premiere, many people started to ask for invitations. They are all famous, and many of them have cooperated with the company before, so we can't refuse."

Cai Yinong said with a red face.

The importance of Fang Nan, the navigator, is self-evident when Tang Tang Film and Television has come to this step that people in the industry can't forget today.

But it can't be denied that she played an important role in it, what an honor!
"Tong Ju, President Han, Director Zhao, Director He"

After shaking hands with several leaders and listening to a few words of 'teaching', Fang Nan turned around and waved to a group of colleagues. There were too many people, and it was impossible to expect him to greet one by one.

"MGM's internal affairs have been sorted out? Your acquisition has caught the whole world off guard."

Mr. Han probably retired, and his speech was not as strict as before. He actually questioned Fang Nan's easy acquisition of a century-old company.

After introducing Sandra and the others, Fang Nan replied casually: "If MGM doesn't sell it to me because of its reputation, they won't be able to bear it. What about the thousands of employees in it? The one on stage is also anxious to solve this problem. A disaster."

Of course, things are not as easy as Fang Nan said on the surface, the acquisition team still did a lot of work behind the scenes, at least they spent a lot of thought and money on lobbyists.

Fang Nan was talking with a smile when a timid "godfather" sounded from behind.

He turned around wonderingly, saw Huang Lei and Sun Li suddenly realized, and immediately picked up his goddaughter who was the same age as his daughter and said, "Hey, this big girl is so handsome, do you want to be a godfather?"

"think."

Fang Nan pouted and smiled all over his face: "It sounds fake, but godfather is still very happy. Tell me, what gift do you want? Is the princess bag ready? It happens to be in the car."

While he was speaking, secretary Xiao Zhu walked out of the backstage knowingly.

Soon, secretary Xiao Zhu brought a pink Hermes children's princess bag and a children's watch produced by Disney.

"Hey, it's too expensive, you can take it back to Xiao Zhuo." Sun Li hurriedly stopped Fang Nan from unpacking the children's watch.

Fang Nan shook his head: "Tong Wanzhuo is precocious, I don't like these things."

His daughter's interest in the piano has also disappeared. Recently, she is willing to learn about educational toys and loves to play Go. The worried Zeng Li has lost a lot of blue hair.

Children are not the protagonists in the background, Fang Nan dismissed Duoduo after a brief chat, squeezed his son's fleshy mouth, and changed to a cleaner place for tea with a group of leaders.

Several people mainly talked about two things:
First, 2015 is the 70th anniversary of the Anti-Japanese War. They asked Fang Nan if he was interested in making an anti-Japanese war film, and a foreign official organization sent an invitation to Fang Nan.

Two, Fang Nan's control over MGM's future and MGM's development path.

MGM is a world-renowned century-old film company.

But making a movie also depends on what kind of movie to make. This point, many people want to know.

Moreover, MGM is about to set up a branch in China, and Fang Nan's attitude also determines China's attitude towards the MGM branch. No government is willing to help a company with two ends.

The first point, Fang Nan declined without hesitation.

He still has two major projects in his hands, "Jurassic" and "Interstellar", and he has no time to polish serious anti-war movies.

The second point, Fang Nan seriously explained his intention to acquire MGM.

In a word, he wants to rely on MGM and Hollywood platforms to try to make Chinese-language movies go global, instead of hiding in bed and lusting.

The leaders were relatively silent, and did not study Fang Nan's plan in detail.

It is normal for a country to have a few entrepreneurs with family and country feelings.

The red carpet for the premiere of "Gravity" has begun.

Domestic entertainment star directors stepped onto the red carpet one by one, calling for "Gravity".

At the end, it was the first time that Fang Nan's family of three faced the media and movie fans together, which caused quite a stir.

This family has too much star power!

Although Gao Yuanyuan's career seems to be at a standstill, in the past two years, she has read a lot of magazines and taken a lot of beautiful photos.

Her personal appearance and temperament have reached the peak, and she is radiant wherever she goes, and she has become synonymous with the number one beauty in the entertainment industry.

Not to mention Fang Nan.

His every move often attracts the attention of countless people.

Some works are about to be released, and audiences all over the world are looking forward to them. Several science fiction films in succession have captivated hundreds of millions of audiences and movie fans around the world.

Commercially, he became the owner of MGM and was named one of the 100 most powerful people in Hollywood.

The performance of several domestic companies is also booming.

His young body, strong wealth, and artistic achievements have made many women look forward to him.

Shouting and booing entered the infield, and Fang Nan was invited to the stage shortly after sitting down.

On the stage, under the questioning of Jing Wei, the host of the movie channel, Fang Nan calmly thanked Huaxia Aerospace No.1 in the audience.

"During the film preparation process, I received the full support of the National Space Administration. I would like to thank the National Space Administration and Academician Yang first."

After that, he followed the host's question and began to decrypt the story behind "Gravity" with a smile.

The first place to clarify the confusion is the meaning of Maitreya Buddha in the film, which North American audiences also pay special attention to.

"The Maitreya Buddha statue in the film is not only a Chinese element, but also implies letting go [let go], symbolizing that the heroine puts down the death of the male astronaut [George Clooney] and embarks on the road of self-salvation."

Immediately afterwards, Fang Nan broke the news about the origin of the light box.

"Before the invention of the special effects box "light box", the visual effects team wanted to use the car's robotic arm, lights, and cameras to shoot together, but it couldn't solve all the problems."

"Until the visual effects team designed a light box with more than 100 million LED lights, this prop is the key to making the audience immersive and addicted to the movie."

"Gravity cut a bloody scene in order to alleviate people's fear of space."

"That was after the first collision, when the hero and heroine returned to search for the body of the 'Harvard top student', they found that the front of him was smashed by debris, a huge hole was knocked out of the head, and the internal organs of the body were also emptied, turning into a An empty 'skin'."

"This is the bloodiest part of the movie, but I gave it up during editing."

After Fang Nan exploded a few shocking stories, he signaled the two leading actors to continue, and gave some time for the director of the bureau and Dean Yang of the Space Administration to make some official comments.

In the end, friends in the same industry came to the stage to praise them in turn.

Since "Gravity" hadn't landed in China, Xu Shanzheng, Huang Bo, Hu Ge and others began to praise the director Fang Nan.

Hu Ge: "I have known Director Fang since 03 and 04. We were still working together a few months ago. The director gave me the biggest impression that there is no such thing as a bad movie. You can watch movies with confidence."

Huang Bo: "Director Fang will not make bad movies. I think everyone on stage and off stage must agree with this statement. So after the release of "Gravity", it's over. I'm the first to support it."

Xu Shan strives not to fall behind: "My whole family went to the cinema to support."

Chen Sicheng: "I have a gossip. Director Fang has four space sci-fi movies in his directorial plan, and "Gravity" is the third one, so please remember to miss this village and not this store."

Zhao Yanzi: "Uh, let me follow what Chen Sicheng said, remember to watch the 3D version of "Gravity."

Cheng Long: "Let's not talk about it, I will book ten shows tomorrow, and Cheng Long International Studios is first come, first served."

"Gravity" has achieved remarkable results in North America and Europe, with a cumulative box office of 2.2 million US dollars.

Therefore, "Gravity" is inherently topical in Asia and other regions, and there is no need for such promotion at all.

But how should I put it, everyone has come, and it is not justified not to let people show up and say a few words.

Of course, the vigorous appeal of hundreds of directors and stars really raised the box office potential of "Gravity" in China to a certain extent.

On March 3, "Gravity" premiered simultaneously in Asia.

As the largest movie box office after North America, the Chinese market has once again exploded with astonishing box office figures.

The film landed on nearly 5000 screens across the country on the first day, with a cumulative box office of 1.1 million yuan.

This box office figure is much lower than the box office on the first day of "The Wandering Earth", but it is nearly 8100 million yuan more than the 3000 million box office on the first day of "Journey to the West" not long ago.

And yesterday's phenomenon reappeared.

"Gravity" staged almost the same movie-watching phenomenon as "The Wandering Earth", and some viewers watched it repeatedly.

There are scalpers selling 3D movie tickets at high prices.

There is a long queue at the entrance of the movie theater.

When movie fans rushed into the movie theater one after another and had a headache because they couldn't buy a 3D ticket, Douban and Mtime.com, the two major movie rating websites in China, opened ratings.

Douban: 8.5 points

Mtime.com: 8.8 points

The word-of-mouth reputation of "Gravity" in China is almost on par with that in North America, and the film has won praise from audiences all over the world without any controversy.

Accompanying the critical acclaim was a bumper hit at the global box office.

The North American box office broke $2 million.

The European box office broke $1 million.

China's box office in the first three days was 3 million yuan.

The current comprehensive score of Yahoo Japan is 4.09 points, with a box office of 4.5 million yen in the first three days.

The 636 screens in South Korea received nearly 100 million moviegoers in the first three days.

Once "Gravity" was released in Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and other places, it also won the top box office rankings.

In the fourth week of March, movie fans and audiences around the world were immersed in "Gravity".

"The visual effects are amazing!"

Netizens on various social media around the world uttered the same sentence in different languages ​​when discussing with others after watching "Gravity".

The light and shadow 13 swordsmen who successively produced "The Wandering Earth" and "Gravity" have completely become famous.

Its international reputation even exceeds that of Weta Digital, which produced "Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit".

Second only to Industrial Light and Magic, which has produced "Transformers", "Star Wars", "Pirates of the Caribbean", and "Harry Potter".

Guilin landscape is also famous.

"Gravity" is still being shown in North America and Europe, so some foreigners went to Guilin on their own to find the extremely beautiful mountains and rivers that Sandra saw after falling into the water, as well as the birds that can go fishing in the water.

Not long after the first audience came to China, a large number of Western movie fans yearned for the landscape of Guilin, prompting two more tourist flights to Beijing, and then to Taiyuan.

Since the movie is still in hot theaters, more audiences around the world are waiting for the release of discs and for broadcasting on the Internet.

By then, it is conceivable that more audiences will be fascinated by Guilin's landscape, and more Westerners will change their travel plans.

The data from the National Tourism Administration, the data from the Air Passenger Terminal, and the data from Guilin caused the leaders of Guilin to express their gratitude to Fang Nan on the phone.

Fang Nan said a few words politely, and offered some suggestions by the way.

Let there be fewer unscrupulous traders, and the government welcomes foreign tourists with a normal heart.

He has the ability to promote national culture and man-made environment, and he has done so, naturally he does not want all these to be destroyed by man-made.

Where he has been, he has seen enough people, there are good people everywhere, and there are pickled goods everywhere, but he sincerely hopes that Huaxia can become better.

Light and shadow 13 swordsmen, Guilin's mountains and rivers are on fire, and Chinese audiences also enjoy watching "Gravity".

The special effects that make people extremely comfortable are one aspect.

What makes Chinese audiences even more delighted is that the Chinese elements in "Gravity" account for at least 20 minutes of the total time.

The elements in the movie include the Tiangong space station just released by the country this year, Guilin landscape, Maitreya Buddha, Huaxia rescue team, Osprey, etc., but what makes the audience most proud is the dense Chinese language in the space station.

Seeing a foreigner racking his brains for a few Chinese words and being at a loss, many viewers felt very refreshed for no reason.

I'm glad that summer didn't come, otherwise after watching "Gravity", I would definitely invite a few friends to drink beer at the barbecue shop and brag about it.

Huaxia’s last promotion was in Jiangcheng. When the enthusiastic Jiangcheng fans who chased after the bus asked, “When will we make a sci-fi movie with all Chinese actors again”, Fang Nan thought for a while and said seriously: “There will definitely be more in the future. Chinese science fiction blockbuster!"

"Brother Nan has a lot of burdens. He seems to be the only one in China. If he works hard to improve film technology and use movies to promote China, I think he has gray hair on his head."

Seeing Fang Nan, who was wearing a woolen coat, return to the car alone, a senior fan of Nan said to his friends with emotion.

"Many directors are rotten fish and rotten shrimps. They are all in the eyes of money. How could they want to improve film technology and promote culture."

"That's right, it's good to use doctrine. Some directors make bad movies, but they still have the cheek to market the movies as good."

"Zhou Xingxing is not bad, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" from years ago was good."

"I think Zhou Xingxing is about to go downhill. Anyway, I paid his movie ticket this time. From now on, I will only focus on Brother Nan's movies."

Fang Nan's private plane went straight into the sky again. This time, the propaganda team landed in Tokyo.

Two days later, after completing the promotional invitation of Dongbao Co., Ltd., they flew to Seoul because of the invitation of CJ Entertainment.

"boss."

After getting off the passenger plane, Fang Nan caught sight of several senior executives of CJ Entertainment, as well as Tang Tang Film and Television branch manager Hou Weidong, the branch's only artiste Han Jiaren, and Lin Yuner?
"Why are you all so idle, and you still engage in pick-ups?"

"You haven't been here for a long time."

After Hou Weidong finished speaking with a smile, Li Jinxiao, the vice president of CJ Entertainment, stretched out his hand to follow and said, "You are a distinguished guest, so you should take it seriously."

Beginning with "The Martian", "The Hunger Games" and "The Wandering Earth" directed by Fang Nan earned a global box office of 7 million US dollars.

"Gravity" currently has a global box office of more than 4 million U.S. dollars, and it looks like another [-] to [-] million U.S. dollars.

Such a director, can cj entertainment not pay attention to it?

Because Fang Nan took them to play "Parasite" back then, that year, CJ Entertainment was full of glory, and he went to Blue House several times.

In terms of love and money, cj entertainment also wants to have a good relationship with Fang Nan.

Korean films have risen in recent years. Literary and artistic films have often achieved success in the three major European films, and they are likely to catch up with Chinese filmmakers in the three major European films in the early years.

But with Fang Nan alone, the whole of Han Yu could not hold his head up.

Big Three in Europe?

Those were the places that Fang Nan abandoned like shoes.

The Cannes Film Festival wanted to gain Fang Nan's popularity, but everyone ignored it.

"Director Fang, we meet again!"

Fang Nan smiled and said to the shy Han Jiaren, "Your Chinese is pretty good, much better than before."

"Hey, I studied hard."

Fang Nan nodded and looked at Lin Yun'er, "Yun'er's agency contract is signed by the branch office." Hou Weidong reminded aloud.

"Boss!" Lin Yuner shouted playfully.

Fang Nan joked with a smile: "Li Xiuman would be willing to let go, Girls' Generation is very popular, Yoona, you are the face of Girls' Generation right now."

Lin Yuner was taken aback, Li Xiuman is the soul of SM, SM's idol may not have seen Li Xiuman in SM for a few years, Fang Nan called it like a child.
