Entertainment, I only like to make movies

Early September.

The summer vacation has finally come to an end.

"Four Famous Catchers" and "Tangshan Earthquake" maxed out the entire summer schedule. Except for "Painted Skin 2", which was a bit noisy, there was not even a splash in other movies.

Hengyu Media and Huayi Brothers became the two biggest winners of the summer file.

Compared with Fang Ziheng, who bowed his head to make movies, Brother Huayi has become the target of public criticism.

With the release of "The Great Earthquake", Huayi's stock has been rising one after another, and there are more and more doubts and abuse on the Internet.

The high-profile Feng Pants was stabbed in the back by the media when he was pictured in the movie, and the photo of his "smiling face" in the interview was released.

When the people of Tangshan were still sad, you, the director, had this face.

Netizens dug out previous interviews with Feng Pants and scolded him for using movies to consume the misery of the masses!
What a shame!
You, Feng Pants, can even pretend to be in public!
Amid the hustle and bustle, the time came to the slightly dull September.

The domestic film market seems to have entered an off-season, and it is living up to the hot scene.

Throughout the first ten days of September, there was only one sci-fi movie "Inception", which earned 1300 million at the box office on the first day.

1300 million!
Can't say how weak it is.

But compared with the first-day box office of 3000 million yuan in the summer, it does seem weak and exhausted the market's dividends.

In the five days of the first weekend, it won a box office of 9300 million.

And as early as the end of August, the global box office of "Inception" had reached 8 million US dollars!

Thanks to the domestic film protection month, this film is the latest to be screened in the mainland.

If it is put in the summer file, it is estimated that it will be a complete explosion!
The entire film industry is still extremely busy, and major companies are simmering undercurrents in private, gearing up, and they have set their sights on the National Day file at the end of September and the highly competitive Lunar New Year file at the end of the year.

September ninth!

Fang Ziheng came out of Tiangong and drove to China Film Group.

As early as the shooting of "Edge of Tomorrow" started, he quickly sent the films he shot every day to three special effects companies, Tiangong Yicai, China Film Digital Film and Television, and Beishi Technology Dingji, in an encrypted manner, so as to save time in post-production.

There is a battle scene model built in advance, as long as the captured picture is reproduced on the modeled scene, and the 3D conversion can be completed through picture rendering.

The three special effects companies work together and work overtime every day to keep up with the shooting progress.

Xiao Yang, the chief technical officer of Tiangong Yicai, estimated that after the filming of the finished film, it will take two months for post-production.

This also means that "Edge of Tomorrow" can barely catch up with the Lunar New Year file!

Fang Ziheng didn't ask for progress, and asked the three special effects companies to maintain good quality, at least to achieve 3% of the actual shooting 75D effect.

This is a must standard!
Only when 3% of the real shooting 75D effect is achieved, can we get rid of the domestic 3D blockbusters released at the same time, and compare with Hollywood's "Avatar" special effects blockbuster.

Otherwise, the so-called global release of "Edge of Tomorrow" is a joke, which will make people laugh out loud.

Fang Ziheng's hard-earned fame and popularity with the audience will be wiped out in one move.
.
Ten o'clock in the morning!

Fang Ziheng's Audi A6 came under the China Film Building. On the parking lot, a row of luxury cars was neatly arranged.

They are all the cars of the bosses of major film giants, and Fang Ziheng's Audi A6 is unremarkable among them.

Speaking of which, he is worth a lot now, and Andy suggested that he change to a better car, so that he will have more face when participating in activities.

He didn't want to bother, so he said something after a while.

The car is just a means of transportation, and he is not the boss of a large group. At such a young age, he really doesn't need to use a car depository to force himself and show his status.

When Hengyu's size continues to grow and he can wrestle with the three big gangsters in the entertainment circle, and when Fang Ziheng can step out of the circle and participate in conferences and activities in other fields, it will not be too late to engage in these formalisms.

Now, it's better to be low-key, it's okay to be low-key!
After entering China Film Group, Fang Ziheng took the elevator up to the 10th floor and arrived at the office of Chen Yu, director of the distribution department.

咚咚
"Please come in!"

Chen Yu raised his head and saw the face of the visitor was happy, he stood up with a smile and said, "Director Fang is here, please sit down!"

"Director Chen, you are busy, I'll come over to say hello."

Fang Ziheng clasped his hands, sat down on the reception sofa familiarly, picked up a glass of movie magazines and flipped through them casually.

He and Chen Yu have been talking for a long time, and the relationship between the two is very good, and they can be called friends.

Today's coordination meeting, I don't know if there are other tricks, it's better to ask the way first.

Chen Yu brewed a cup of tea and came over, and said with a leisurely smile: "The other bosses have already arrived, chatting in Director Han's office, why did you come to me?"

"Brother Yu, didn't I come to ask you to learn from you? What kind of wind will be blown in today's coordination?" Fang Ziheng tapped the two coffee tables, took the tea and asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing. Since last year, the film market has become more and more prosperous. Every time it is a hot spot, many films are released together.

Director Han was worried about internal conflicts between the first films, so he specially discussed with the leaders of the Film Bureau a few days ago to hold a schedule coordination meeting for the first film. "

The first movie schedule coordination meeting!
This is an internal coordination organization with no legal effect. It is led by China Film and Film Bureau, and its members include major domestic film and television companies.

A few years ago, every time a big director's movie was released, other companies stepped aside.

It's different now!

The year-round fiery schedule is limited, and major companies have no choice but to face it head-on.

In this way, a good schedule can often be seen, and many movies are beaten to death and fight each other.

Especially "Crazy Racing" by Ning Hao in the Lunar New Year file last year, and "Painted Skin 2" controlled by Bona in the summer file this year.

The two movies could be better, but because the schedule was not selected well, it became a stepping stone for others.

Fang Ziheng suddenly realized.

The major film companies are about to start introverting!

Delineate the hills, close the doors and let the dogs go, and use negotiation methods to reduce competition and friction.

The method is good, but unfortunately it is useless.

In the past two years, major companies can barely support the offensive and defensive alliance.

Once all the giants are listed, the flames of war will be set off in minutes, and the opponents will be caught and pressed to death.

After thinking about this, Fang Ziheng had a general calculation in his heart!
A good schedule must not be missed!

No matter who the opponent is, just do it.

Hello, my big guy, this kind of atmosphere doesn't work at all in the film market.

After chatting for a few words, Fang Ziheng thanked Chen Yu and came to a small luxuriously decorated conference room on the tenth floor.

The conference room was filled with smoke, and a group of film and television executives were chatting and laughing.

Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, Li Ming, Zhang Weiping, Wu Kebo, Yang Shoucheng, Zhuang Cheng.

Major companies from the Mainland and Hong Kong Island are almost all here, and the major companies include the producers and distributors of more than 70% of the films after mid-September.

Fang Ziheng pushed open the door, and everyone looked over.

Wang Changtian and Yu Dong's eyes lit up, and they quickly reached out to say hello.

"Haha, Director Fang is finally here!"

"Come, come, sit here!"

Fang Ziheng smiled, waved to the two, and everyone nodded, and sat down beside Wang Changtian.

On his left are Wang Changtian and Yu Dong, and on his right are Yang Shoucheng and Wang Zhongjun.

Everyone's seats seem to have been arranged intentionally. Each seat is 50 centimeters apart, neither far nor close, and it is easy to get angry.

Directly opposite him, sat Zhang Weiping in the new picture.

This guy looked happy, with a wretched face, and he was talking about girls with Zhuang Cheng from Huanya.

In the past week, Zhang Weiping frequently appeared in front of the public, and he began to act like the boss and second child again.

"The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" is finished, the schedule is undecided!

Guessing that Zhang Weiping wanted to get another high-end schedule, to sweep away the bad luck brought by "Three Shots".

Fang Ziheng cast a glance and didn't pay much attention, then turned to chat with Wang Changtian about the announcement of "Lost in Thailand".

"Tai囧" has completed the custom cut, and the finished film is very good, completely comparable to the previous life.

However, Wang Changtian, Yu Dong, and Xu Zheng have different opinions on the release time, and the specific release time has not been determined.

According to Wang Changtian and Yu Dong's ideas, they plan to put "Tai囧" in the Lunar New Year file, and strive to make it a big hit product, helping Guangliang and Bona to go public.

Xu Zheng wanted to release the movie on the National Day file, and the Lunar New Year file was full of blockbusters. He was worried that he would be caught in the middle of the blockbuster as cannon fodder.

Fang Ziheng thought it over and supported Xu Zheng's idea!

"Tai囧" is an excellent comedy, there is no need to be hard steel with others during the Lunar New Year, it can completely rely on word of mouth to form a movie-watching boom.

I went to the Lunar New Year file, and so many movies were released in the same period, the number of movies in theaters alone was a big problem.

Even if the word-of-mouth is overwhelming, it is difficult to fight for an equal film schedule.

On the one hand, publicity is also a problem.

All major companies have movies released, and the entertainment media are so open to money. If you can give money, others can too.

Everyone gave it, and a vicious circle was formed. "Tai囧" could easily be robbed of its original promotional pages and popularity.

In addition, this year's Lunar New Year stalls are somewhat different from the past.

"If You Are the One 2" by Feng Pants, "Let the Bullets Fly" by Jiang Min, and "New Shaolin Temple" by Chen Musheng.

None of the three movies are easy to mess with.

Adding Fang Ziheng's own "Edge of Tomorrow", it can definitely be called a fight between gods and gods.

Wang Changtian and Yu Dong thought so, and agreed to release "Lost in Thailand" on the National Day file.

As for the specific date, it depends on today's coordination meeting.

10: 30.

Han Dong and Chen Yu arrived, and the meeting officially started.

After the two of them were seated, Director Han smiled and looked around, knocked on the table and said, "Everyone, I won't elaborate on the purpose of inviting you here today. The leader of the Film Bureau and I have the same principle!"

"Try to stagger the first movie, and don't have unreasonable internal friction."

After finishing speaking, Han Dong picked up the teacup and blew on it, taking a sip.

The old god is here, with the attitude of watching a show when you start to perform.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Is this over?

Didn't you say that the China Film and Film Bureau will take the lead, and you Lao Han will coordinate?
One sentence, don't cause internal friction for no reason, and everyone will be sent away!
The meeting room was silent for a few seconds.

Everyone gradually recalled it and figured out the key points.

It is true that China Film and Film Bureau took the lead, but the two official organizations of China Film and Film Bureau will not directly set the schedule of many movies.

It can only guide, persuade, and discuss, and play the role of a negotiating lubricant.

Try not to have infighting in the first movie.

Try, not have to!
The principle is that if it is not necessary, do not smash the two first movies, hello, I am a big guy.

Of course, if the two parties are not willing to give in and both are interested in a good schedule, then they can do whatever they want.

Everyone looked at each other, Huayi Wang Zhongjun was the first to speak.

Good guy, I'm about to go to the best schedule when I open my mouth.

"Everyone, the competition for the Lunar New Year is fierce. Hua Yi will not compete with everyone for the twelfth lunar month and the first lunar month. We plan to release Xiaogang's "If You Are the One 2" on December 12. Please give Hua a face."

Wang Zhongjun smiled all over his face, bowed his hands to everyone, and used the most modest words to grab the most important schedule.

December 12th, Friday!
The 25th and 26th are weekends, and then there is a small long holiday for New Year's Day. The movie will be released for 40 days, and after completion, students can enjoy the benefits of winter vacation.

This time last year happened to be the day when "October Siege" was released.

At that time, the media and many filmmakers were optimistic about the film, saying that Chen Kexin and Huang Xinjian had chosen a good schedule.

The schedule for the first ten or so days was quite good, but then it suffered a disaster. When I ran into "Avatar", it was a miserable death!

This year is different, there is no "Avatar", and December 12th is definitely one of the top schedules for the Lunar New Year.

Wang Zhongjun clearly told everyone present that Huayi is coming up this time, and if you want it, come and touch it!
Oh shit!

This forced him to pretend!

The others were speechless and turned their eyes away to ignore Wang Zhongjun.

Fang Ziheng also rolled his eyes, secretly laughing that this guy is really good at playing.

Whether it is Hua Yi or Feng Pants, it is currently one of the pronouns of high-quality movies in the eyes of the public.

In the current film market, apart from Fang Ziheng and Lao Mouzi, Feng Pants is the most trusted by audiences in a small area.

The audience scolded and scolded, but it didn't affect them to pay for tickets and go to the cinema to watch "If You Are the One 2".

Use movies to overwhelm people!
Fang Ziheng said he learned it.

While everyone was still angry with Wang Zhongjun, he seized the opportunity and quickly announced the schedule of "Edge of Tomorrow"!

"Bosses, with Hengyu Master Control, China Film, Bona, and Wanda participating in the investment, "Edge of Tomorrow" directed by me will be released on January 1, and please raise your hands high!"

As soon as these words came out, the bosses came back to their senses instantly.

The big guys stared blankly at Fang Ziheng, a bit unexpected, even Wang Zhongjun who just spoke.

1 month 2 number.

It was released on New Year's Day, followed by the winter holiday, the Spring Festival holiday, and even the seven days of the first lunar month!

If the film's release time is extended to 11 days, it can even wipe out the [-]-year Lantern Festival.

So ruthless, so ruthless!
This release time is better and more important than December 12th.

Except for Han Dong, Chen Yu, and Yu Dong, everyone else had a bad expression on their faces, their eyes focused, and they wanted to fight.

It was none other than Zhang Weiping who fought first.

This guy didn't know which one was wrong, he slammed the table and stood up suddenly, glared at Fang Ziheng and shouted: "Director Fang, are you too arrogant!"

""Edge of Tomorrow" will be released on January 1. You eat meat, and we all eat soup. Your calculation is too good!"

"That's right, Director Fang, you are too domineering!"

"The best time for Lunar New Year, why give "Edge of Tomorrow"?"

Zhang Weiping took the lead, and the others immediately followed, criticizing Fang Ziheng one after another.

For a while, everyone doesn't care about any major commercial directors, such as China Film, Bona, and Wanda.

In the conflict of interests, the bayonet sees red!

别的日期也就罢了，1月2号上映，电影上映的日期几乎横跨到11年2月20号。

With Fang Ziheng's screenwriting skills and director ability, once "Edge of Tomorrow" is released, it will definitely not leave any room for other movies.

With a production budget of 2.5 million yuan, whoever touches the cliff of domestic films will die!

No, absolutely not!
This schedule cannot be given to "Edge of Tomorrow"!
Several film and television bosses jumped anxiously, and forcefully stopped them.

Fang Ziheng laughed, he didn't expect a schedule to cause public outrage.

This group of Goubas has learned how to attack in groups!
He slowly looked around at the crowd, finally fell on the angry Zhang Weiping, and smiled contemptuously: "Mr. Zhang, don't put on such a face, I, Fang Ziheng, don't owe you money.

If you are not convinced, "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" is scheduled for January 1nd, the two films can just meet each other, and the appointment at the film work conference at the beginning of the year will be completed! "

"If you don't dare to fight, just watch the show and hold back honestly!"

"Hehe, I heard people say that Mr. Zhang, you have embezzled director Zhang Yimou's 2000 million bonus. I wonder if there is such a thing?"
