Entertainment, I only like to make movies

Chapter 170 The box office on the first day hit a new high (two chapters in one)

"The Perfect Premiere of "The Four"!"

"The zero-point box office exceeded 500 million. Director Fang Ziheng once again proved himself and told the world that successful people are always successful!"

"According to the box office monitoring agency under the Film Bureau, "Four Famous Detectives" was released in 520 theaters across the country in the early hours of this morning.

This data not only broke the personal record of director Fang Ziheng, but also set a record high in the history of zero-point box office in the Mainland. "

"The latest report from Sina Media: The high-profile martial arts blockbuster "Four Famous Arrests" held its world premiere at the Imperial Capital National Grand Theater last night.

According to the news sent by the reporter from Qianzhan, the overseas copyright of "Four Famous Catch" was sold long before its release! "

May 6st!
After receiving the zero-point box office of "Four Famous Detectives", the major entertainment media rushed to the morning shift and published the soft articles prepared in advance on the Internet as quickly as possible.

520 million!
Are period films on the rise again?
This is the first reaction of many filmmakers after seeing the zero box office of "Four Famous Detectives"!

Chinese filmmakers have to be shocked!

"The Promise", "Night Banquet", "Seven Swords Under the Tianshan Mountains", "Red Cliff", "Mythology" and many other costume blockbusters have fallen into the sand.

In the endless scolding, the audience at home and abroad have exhausted their complex for costume films.

In 08, before the release of "Chibi 1"!
The intensity of the publicity can be described as overwhelming, no matter whether it is a media reporter or a star artist, almost everyone praises it, and Hao is not stingy with praise.

The "Red Cliff" is praised as rare in the sky and nothing on the earth. If the audience does not watch the cliff, they will regret it for a lifetime.

However, under such an overall optimistic situation, the zero-point box office of "Red Cliff" is still only 340 million.

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

That's Wu Baige, an international director!
With a total investment of US$8000 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 "Chibi 1" at that time, costume films have been backlashed by audiences.

That is to say, after the devastation of the previous bad costume films, many viewers are afraid.

Not daring to go into the cinema to watch the movie for the first time, more people chose to wait and see!
The audience is right to be cautious!

The first and second parts of "Red Cliff" really fed them, and Wu Baige consumed the enthusiasm of the last batch of costume movie fans.

The enthusiasm of the audience is consumed, it is difficult to make up for it, and it is difficult to set things right.

This is one of the important reasons why people in the circle were not optimistic about Fang Ziheng and "Four Famous Arrests".

It's only been a year since "Chibi 2", logically speaking, the backlash from the audience hasn't passed yet.

"Four Famous Catchers" zero box office, it shouldn't be so high!
520 million!
Not weaker than the data when "Chibi 1" was released.

Such data also made countless filmmakers have two thoughts in their hearts.

The audience's enthusiasm for costume films has picked up?
Or do the audience trust Fang Ziheng?
Many directors and screenwriters choose the first reason.

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

Once an idea is established, action is naturally indispensable.

Early this morning, many directors and screenwriters called the boss of the film and television company to enhance their relationship.

"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 to lie down and have a good discussion with the screenwriting department."

"Yu Dong, I didn't bother you to rest. I did a survey last night. According to the zero box office of "Four Famous Catchers", I think that costume films with an investment of less than [-] million can be made. As long as the story is wonderful, the current market The capacity will never lose money."

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

In terms of following the trend and learning from the trend, the entertainment industry is definitely a pioneer in terms of the nose's keen sense of smell.

Later generations and other novel websites, this will be the younger brother in front of the entertainment and film industry, and belongs to the existence of being educated.

On the other side, the bosses of the major film and television companies who received the call were not overly excited, although they approved of the showy operation on the other end of the phone.

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

"Edge of Tomorrow" is in preparation!
They can be bosses, so they naturally have their own advantages.

How much money can you make by following the trend?
What if the limelight of "Four Famous Catchers" passes and the audience doesn't buy it anymore?
The bosses of this group of film and television companies chose the second reason, thinking that the audience believed in Fang Ziheng, so they went to the cinema to watch "Four Famous Catchers"!
In their view, "Edge of Tomorrow" is the real sweet potato!
On the morning of June 6th, several Chinese film giants and their bosses held a meeting of executives.

There is only one meeting content, that is to step up the launch of the sci-fi 3D project, and strive to release it in the Lunar New Year file at the end of the year!
As for follow-up costume films and martial arts films, of course this kind of loss of points has to be done in secret and cannot be put on the bright side.

And over time, two different cognitions spread to the hands of the media.

Three in the afternoon!

When Fang Ziheng led the main creative team to publicize in the imperial capital, he was blocked by reporters at the gate of Xingmei Film City and asked him his opinion on the matter.

On the crowded steps.

The reporter from Tencent Entertainment snatched the first speech, and the young man looked excited, held up the microphone and opened his mouth and asked, "Director Fang, do you think the success of "Four Famous Catchers" is the reason for the recovery of the costume film market, or the audience's recognition of you personally!"

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

These guys have learned how to behave. When things are unclear, or until they receive clear instructions from above, they will resolutely not create trouble for Fang Ziheng.

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

The reporters believed it!

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

This title has not been widely recognized, and some media still call Fang Ziheng a cutting-edge director.

A "Nobody" and a "Tang Detective" are not enough for Fang Ziheng to be the top director in the eyes of the public.

Only with three shots fired in succession can he forge a reputation and become one of the few big and famous directors in the Chinese film industry!
And if Fang Ziheng's third shot is a trendy costume film or a martial arts film, then the name will be even louder and the gold content will be higher!
There are more and more people at the entrance of Xingmei Film City. The common people always like to be lively. When they see celebrities coming to promote, they squeeze over to take a look without thinking.

In addition to the movie fans who were waiting to watch the movie, and the audience who walked out of the movie after watching the movie.

For a while, there were huge crowds of people outside the movie theater, which greatly increased the pressure on the security guards to maintain order.

Fang Ziheng pointed to the steps, asked the reporters to retreat one after another, and then led everyone to the square.

"There's a loophole in your question!"

"'Four Famous Catchers' hasn't been successful yet, and it hasn't even hit the box office on its first day!"

"A good result at the zero box office doesn't mean anything!
It can only be said that my first two films have accumulated some audience popularity, and the fans are willing to give me and the main creative team of the film a chance! "

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

After pointing out the reporter's loopholes, he said without haste: "Whether it's the recovery of the costume film market, or the audience's recognition of directors and actors to buy tickets into the cinema.

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

The film release time ranges from one month to [-] days at most. You don’t think that just relying on my title as director and the audience’s expectations for costume films can make "Four Famous Catch" a big success! "

Fang Ziheng's words stunned the reporters!
clap clap clap.
There was sparse applause at the scene.

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

Fang Ziheng's words touched their hearts.

The media knows a hammer!
Whether a movie is good or not depends on those who spend money to buy tickets!

After so many years, the word-of-mouth of the movie, which one was not helped by their audience.

After the first question, the reporter from Netease Entertainment grabbed the right to ask the second question.

This guy is amazing.

One sentence ignited the whole scene!
"Director Fang, there is news that the overseas copyright of "Four Great Catches" has been sold, and the copyright fee is as high as 1000 million dollars?"

"Excuse me, Director Fang, is this news true?"

Brush brush!
As soon as the reporter finished speaking, they all stared at Fang Ziheng.

Not only the reporters want to know, but also the citizens who gathered around to watch the fun want to know.

It is rumored on the Internet that making movies makes money, how much entertainment stars are paid, and which movie has earned hundreds of millions.

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

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

Common people don't know the truth of all kinds of entertainment information, so they can only eat melons on the Internet to join in the fun.

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

The big guy was thinking in his heart, he didn't stop on his feet, and squeezed in desperately, wanting to hear first-hand news.

Fang Ziheng glanced at the reporter of Netease News, and thought to himself that this guy was quite well informed, and that such insider information could even be obtained with a scrap of scrap.

He didn't evade this question, nodded and said: "The overseas copyright matter is indeed true!"

"But...not $1000 million!"

Having said this, Fang Ziheng raised two fingers, his eyes slowly swept across the expectant eyes, and he smiled mysteriously.

"The copyright of "Four Famous Catchers" has sold a total of 2000 million US dollars!"

2000 million dollars!

The reporters and audience were stunned, staring in disbelief.

boom.
It's completely boiling now!

"Director Fang, may I ask which overseas distribution company the movie was sold to?"

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

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

"Director Fang, I wonder if "Four Famous Arrests" will submit an award to the International Film Festival this time?"

The reporter is excited!

A swarm of bees surrounded Fang Ziheng, acting crazily, as if trying to swallow him alive.

It's been five years!
After "The Promise" and "The Banquet", there are finally martial arts films that can sell more than tens of millions of US dollars in copyright fees overseas.

If the movie is popular overseas, it will rewrite the history of Chinese-language movies again, set things right, and open a new output channel for Chinese-language costume and martial arts movies.

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

Compared with the reporters, the melon-eaters were not as excited, but they all smiled happily and started discussing happily.

"Fuck, it's true, a movie sold 2000 million dollars!"

"2000 million, it's almost 1.4 million in Ruanmei coins. The cost of the movie doesn't cost that much, does it?"

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

"That's awesome enough. I'm going to go in and watch it again today. If I can earn Yankees' money, "Four Famous Catchers" will definitely be no different!"

"Yes, yes, I'm going to watch it too. It's a martial arts movie. I used to like to watch martial arts TV dramas on Hong Kong Island. Huang Rihua and Li Ruotong are my idols!"

The big guy and You Rongyan asked the audience how the movie was when they came out of the cinema, and at the same time came to the door and lined up to buy tickets to watch a wave.

Let's see how "Four Famous Catchers" is so awesome, and it can earn Yankees 2000 million dollars.

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

Surprisingly, there is also the main creative team of "Four Famous Catchers"!

Liu Qianqian and Song Yi immediately opened their mouths, forming a round 0.

Yaoshou!

'Brother Ziheng' is amazing, "The Four Famous Catch" actually sold the overseas copyright!

This is the first thought in the heart of the young lady.

Song Yi thought differently, she had already tried Fang Ziheng's strength, it was by no means ordinary strength.

The first thought in her mind was that this girl really saw the right person and chose the right man.

The two beauties stared at each other, full of surprises.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people present, they would have rushed towards Fang Ziheng.

He is handsome, talented, can make money, treats people gently, and can lead them to fly.

This kind of peerless good man, you have to pay close attention to it.

The promotion of "Four Famous Arrests" is still going on.

With round after round of screenings, in the afternoon and evening, there are more and more reports about the film on the Internet.
The comments of film critics appear in every corner of the Internet.

Along with the sound of movie reviews, the overseas copyright fee of the movie, the 2000 million dollar thing also spread.

Smartphones already existed in 2010, and some clever people uploaded a 10-second video!
The video screen shook, and Fang Ziheng, Liu Qianqian and others appeared, as well as Fang Ziheng's clear and calm voice.

At nine o'clock in the evening, almost the entire Internet knew that the overseas copyright of "Four Famous Detectives" sold for 2000 million US dollars.

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

Write down: "The boss is awesome"~!

The employees of Hengyu followed suit, showing Fang Ziheng a wave of 'emoticons' and knelt down, shouting that the boss is awesome.

The actors of "Four Famous Catchers" are not far behind, showing expressions of surprise and disbelief, @方子恒, complaining that he didn't tell them such important news in advance!
Wang Zhongjun, the boss of Huayi, also came to join in the fun, @方子恒, left a very arrogant word.

"Successful people will always be successful, 2000 million US dollars is just the beginning of Fang's film journey!"

One short sentence!

It not only showed the authenticity of the copyright fee of "Four Famous Catchers", but also made Fang Ziheng upright and flattered Fang Ziheng secretly!
Guangliang and Bona's official blog followed closely, praising Fang Ziheng for making a wonderful "Four Famous Catchers" movie.

At the same time, two fellows, Wang Changtian and Yu Dong, also came out, @xuzhenghe the crew of "Tai囧" who just joined Weibo not long ago.

To be blunt, the filming of "Lost in Thailand" produced by Fang Ziheng, directed by Xu Zheng, and starring Xu Zheng, Bao Qiang, and Huang Bo is about to be completed, and it is announced that it will be scheduled for National Day in October!

All of a sudden, a group of demons danced on the Internet, and several major film and television bosses took the lead, setting off a new round of publicity for "Four Famous Catchers" on Weibo.

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

Wang Changtian and Yu Dong are indeed masters of publicity, and they never let go of such opportunities.

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

After promoting the main creative team for a day, after dinner and massage, they came to the leisure building of the hotel to relax.

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

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

Not far away, Uncle Daoming and Mr. Guoli were playing billiards. Everyone was smiling and having fun.

"3 with 1!"

"Tube it!"

"I'm sorry!"

"Bomb, 34567 straight, I'm out of cards!"

After playing for an hour, Lao Dengtou lost to Fang Ziheng and Huang Jiaozhu by [-] yuan each.

Old Deng's head and face turned green, and as soon as he threw the poker, I stopped playing with you guys.

Fang Ziheng was overjoyed, muttering and laughing that he couldn't afford it!
Who knew that this bastard had plausible arguments, saying that he was already a man who was about to have a wife, so he couldn't mess around like you two wiveless people!
In a word, Fang Ziheng and Huang Jiaozhu were instantly killed.

Soon, Deng Chao regained his vitality and ran to play billiards with Uncle Daoming and Teacher Guoli.

Leader Huang took out his phone, happily talking on the phone with Baby Yang.

Fang Ziheng saw it and hurried away, he didn't want to listen to ambiguous gossip.

"Director, are you not playing?"

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

"Stop playing, Brother Chao's pocket money was wiped out by us, and he lost all his pants."

"Then director, you taught me how to play mahjong, and my pocket money is almost lost." Liu Qianqian kept waving her hands with a bitter face.

Fang Ziheng walked over to take a look, good guy.

Song Yi's luck is overwhelming today, the chips in front of him are piled up, taking all three.

Liu Qianqian, Da Tiantian and Li Lianhua could not beat the little girl together.

The worst thing was Liu Qianqian, with 2 yuan in chips, and only three small green chips left, not enough to order a cannon!
Fang Ziheng sat next to the young lady, very close.

Under Song Yi's inexplicable gaze, he became a dog-headed military adviser without changing his face.

Time passed little by little.

In the early morning of the 21st, the box office on the first day finally came out.

With an average of 2000% of the films scheduled in 40 theaters across the country, "Four Famous Catchers" hit a super high box office of 3260 million in one fell swoop.

Breaking 3 million on the first day!
Breaking Fang Ziheng's personal record, 2980 million higher than the 280 million on the first day of "Tang Detective"!
