Entertainment, I only like to make movies

October [-]st!
During the National Day holiday, the whole country of China celebrates together.

The turbulent film market is also packed with seven-day holidays.

The first is "Lost in Thailand", which dominated the National Day file. It hit 1.25 million box office in five days in the first weekend, and easily broke 8 million in [-] days.

The second "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" was released for 16 days, and the total box office reached 1.7 million. Relevant agencies predicted that the film would have at least 2.3 to 2.5 million when it was released.

Lao Mouzi's name as a film master was mentioned again. Fans were delighted and came to the Weibo of the new screen, cursing Zhang Weiping for not being a thing, and that the new screen deserved the collapse.

At the same time, "Inception", which was released for a month, quietly won 4 million box office.

The media doesn't want to mention this, but they can't stand the fact that there are so many fans of sci-fi blockbusters that "Inception" has become one of the most popular searches in the past two days.

Many people went to Fang Ziheng and Hengyu Media's Weibo, asking when "Edge of Tomorrow" will be released.

A buddy sent out an emoticon of looking up to the sky and sighing, shouting that Hua Guoku has been a sci-fi blockbuster for a long time, and hoped that "Edge of Tomorrow" will not disappoint the public.

Fang Ziheng @ this buddy, and replied, 'Don't worry, see you after the New Year'!
In addition to the above three films, "Di Renjie: The Empire of Heaven", which premiered on the evening of the 28th, has attracted even more attention!
2000 million on the first day!
2600 million the next day!
On the 3500st, which is the day of the National Day, "Di Renjie: The Heavenly Empire" ushered in a big hit, hitting the [-] million mark in one fell swoop.

On the fourth day, it dropped slightly, to 3270 million, breaking through [-] million in four days, even more fierce than "Lost in Thailand".

Mr. Xu has sharpened his sword for five years, and with "Di Renjie", he has been praised by the media as the only master of martial arts movies after the new century.

The stock of Huayi once again ushered in the spring, and the total market value reached 220 billion. Wang Zhongjun even shouted the slogan of breaking 9 million in an interview.

9 billion!
Lao Wang really thought too much.

When Fang Ziheng heard the news, he shook his head and laughed.

Let alone 9 million, it is estimated that it is impossible to discount 4.5 million in half.

In the last life, "Di Renjie" also started in Tianhu, and then went high and low, reaching 3 million soft sister coins in the mainland.

In this life, "Four Famous Catchers" opened the way. It is reasonable to say that "Di Renjie" is released, and it can naturally attract a large number of fans accumulated.

It's strange, first, "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" became inexplicably popular, breaking the routine from a film of over [-] million to [-] million.

Then "Lost in Thailand" was released ahead of schedule, grabbing most of the viewing traffic during the National Day holiday.

When "Di Renjie" encountered these two opponents, it was likely to be the same as in the previous life. After the first weekend, it suffered a tragic defeat in Waterloo and lost to Maicheng in a desperate manner.

October 3st.

In a private restaurant in the imperial capital, in an antique box.

Fang Ziheng and Lao Mouzi sat facing each other.

On the small round dining table, there are seven dishes and one soup, and a small pot of Moutai national wine brewed in blue and white porcelain.

The two chatted happily and drank leisurely.

The topic changed from the places of interest and historical sites all over the country to the anecdotes of celebrities from all dynasties and generations, and finally returned to the movie itself.

Lao Mouzi graduated from the Department of Photography of Beitel. He took up a camera for the first time in 84. He collaborated with Zhang Junchuan and Uncle Daoming on "One and Eight" and with Chen Daren on "Yellow Earth".

In 86, he starred in "Old Well" and won three actor trophies in one fell swoop.

In 87, he directed his first film, "Red Sorghum", which won the Golden Bear Award at Huaguo's first international film festival.

As far as movies are concerned, Lao Mouzi is definitely a top master figure who can direct, act, and shoot.

Especially in terms of photography, picture, and composition, it has reached the pinnacle.

In the entire Chinese film and television circle, and even in the field of world film, Lao Mouzi's capture and conception of film images can definitely be ranked in the top five, or even the top three.

Lao Mouzi's only weakness is screenwriting.

The stories of the movies he made are very simple, and many rhythms are not driven by the plot, but by the pictures and actors.

It wasn't until the birth of "The Cliff" that the situation improved a little, but not much.

The two exchanged cups and chatted about their understanding of the movie. Fang Ziheng mostly asked questions and Lao Mouzi explained.

In terms of film attainments, Fang Ziheng did have many deficiencies. It was rare to meet a film master, so of course he had to steal his lessons.

After drinking for three rounds, the two of them were almost done drinking.

Fang Ziheng put down his chopsticks, took out a small stack of A4 papers from his bag and handed it over, said with a smile, "Director Zhang, I have a notebook here, please take a look."

"Oh script!"

Lao Mouzi's eyes flashed, and he looked at Fang Ziheng in surprise.

He had been waiting for the other party to offer conditions, but he didn't expect that the meal was almost finished, so he took out a script.

The operation of young people is indeed different from other film and television companies!
Lao Mouzi praised secretly, drank the wine in his glass, reached out to take the A4 paper and began to browse.

"The Year of Chasing Dreams"!
Four big black characters came into view.

Just by looking at the title of the script, Lao Mouzi guessed the type of the script.

This is a literary film!

He shook his head inwardly, he had just filmed "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", and he wanted to shoot a commercial blockbuster for the next one.

Grasping both art and business, this is his film career path.

Of course, just because you don't want to shoot now doesn't mean you don't want to shoot in the future.

The key is to read the script, okay?
Speaking of the script, Fang Ziheng in front of him is a master.

Could it be
Lao Mouzi's heart moved, he lowered his eyes and opened the paper.

3 minute later.

Lao Mouzi's eyes brightened.

He loves this book!
After 10 minutes, the [-]-character outline was read.

Lao Mouzi breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and stared at Fang Ziheng with burning eyes.

"Director Fang, you wrote this notebook?"

"That's right, it's been two days since I wrote it!"

Fang Ziheng nodded slightly, bought Lao Mouzi a glass of wine, and said with a smile, "I want Director Zhang to take this book."

"I come to shoot?"

Lao Mouzi let out a soft cry, and tightened the A4 paper in his hand.

Heartbroken!
He was moved.

Just now I had the idea of ​​not making a literary film for the time being, but this will all be thrown to the wow country.

Make a chicken feather commercial film!
How can it be important to win an Oscar!

At this moment, Lao Mouzi finally understood why everyone in the circle called Fang Ziheng a master screenwriter.

The short [-]-word outline story is not inferior to any excellent award-winning literary film script.

If the finished film is good, it will definitely have a chance to hit the Oscars!
Great!

Amazing!
Lao Mouzi praised Fang Ziheng again and again in his heart, and lamented Fang Ziheng's amazingness.

"Director Fang, I offer you a toast!"

"Director Zhang is too polite, I should respect you!"

Fang Ziheng smiled, picked up his wine glass and touched Lao Mouzi lightly.

The two tacitly did not talk about the specific details of the cooperation, nor did they mention the conditions required for Lao Mouzi to join Hengyu Media.

This occasion!

Such a moment!

It's just two directors who love movies talking, and everything else has to give way.

After clinking glasses, Fang Ziheng talked about the direction of improving the script of "The Year of Chasing Dreams".

The two had a detailed exchange on how the script should balance literary and commercial attributes, and the values ​​of the characters.

During the period, Fang Ziheng also mentioned Ju Hengyu's literary editorial department by the way.

"Director Zhang, Hengyu Media has set up a literary editorial department. There are not many people in this department, but they are all experts!"

"The film and television projects currently developed by Hengyu Media must go through this department once, and the literary editorial department will fill and review them in multiple directions to ensure that each project produced by Hengyu is logical and reasonable, and the IQ is online!"

Lao Mouzi's eyes narrowed, and he asked aloud, "Is it the same in "Four Famous Arrests"?"

"Yes, that's right!"

Fang Ziheng smiled lightly, without hiding anything, and directly told the 'insider truth'.

"After I wrote the outline of "Four Famous Arrests", I worked with the people in the literary editorial department to perfect the script. After the script was formed, I conceived the script and illustrations alone, and added ideas and ideas for shooting."

"The purpose of this approach is to finish the script so that the director can't use his personal views on the story at will.

Being responsible for the project is also responsible for the director himself! "

Hearing this, Lao Mouzi understood.

The editorial department of Hengyu Literature is following the path of Hollywood, working with the director to set the script for the next play!
After the script is finalized, the director's creativity and ideas can only be reflected in the shooting techniques, techniques, pictures, and control of the film's rhythm.

You can't dictate the story of the script!
The same is true for roles. After the script is finalized, each role has its own part in the play, and the director can't let him think about it.

It will definitely not happen that the director is full of enthusiasm, adding two lines to the female number one today, and adding an extra glamorous scene to the second female number tomorrow.

Having realized the 'truth', Lao Mouzi asked the third question: "What if the director and the literary editorial department have different ideas?"

"Having ideas is a good thing, all the director's ideas can be put forward when perfecting the script!

Even if the director doesn't mention it, they will force you to mention it, and even offer various ideas for you to choose!

You know, they are all first-class screenwriters.

The group with the idea of ​​the script in their minds is much more courageous than us directors. They can write what we want to shoot and dare to shoot, and they can also write what we don’t want to shoot and dare not shoot! "

Fang Ziheng spoke out lightly, with a calm and confident smile on his face, understated, and calmed down Lao Mouzi's worries with a few words.

After hearing his description, Lao Mouzi was astonished.

The screenwriter's mind is bigger than the director's.

Creativity and ideas, and more than directors!

He had never heard of this conclusion before, nor had he thought about it.

However, if you think about it carefully, it really is the case.

Almost instantly, a ridiculous idea rose in Lao Mouzi's mind.

He has so many movies before, and the story in each of them is pretty bad.

It's not because I have too many ideas that I stole the original job of the screenwriter.

Lao Mouzi smiled wryly in his heart, and Fang Ziheng said: "Director Fang, after hearing what you said, I really want to go over and have a look and chat with the people in the literary editorial department. If possible, "The Year of Chasing Dreams" will be handed over." Give them perfection."

"No problem, Director Zhang is here, the literary editorial department is flourishing, and it will definitely be able to collide with the young people in the editorial department to create a different spark."

Fang Ziheng clapped his palms and smiled, raised his wine glass to touch Lao Mouzi lightly, and drank it down in one gulp.

a lunch.

Eat from twelve noon to four in the afternoon.

The two chatted very happily and agreed to meet again next time.

Outside the private restaurant.

Fang Ziheng waved his hand and watched Lao Mouzi get into the car.

Afterwards, he couldn't hold back his alcohol anymore, he swayed, and almost staggered and fell to the ground.

The entourage quickly supported him and supported him into the car.

"President Fang, where are you going!"

"go home!"

Today, he can be regarded as going all out.

Explaining the script to Lao Mouzi again, and risking his life to accompany the wine, it was better than his girlfriend.

Ugh.
Pity someone's drinking capacity on our side, when can we increase it!

Back in the duplex building, Liu Qianqian had already gone home, Concubine Lin and Andy left work early and rushed over.

The two took over Fang Ziheng and asked the driver, "Xiao Fang, I saw Lao Mouzi, how did they talk?"

"seen!"

The driver nodded repeatedly and recounted the scene when Fang Ziheng and Lao Mouzi went out.

Xiao Fang is a distant relative of Fang Ziheng's hometown, named Fang Zhongxin, a young man who retired from the armed police.

Honest and honest, very trustworthy.

Concubine Lin and Andy looked at each other, and helped Fang Ziheng into the room, the other said: "Xiao Fang, you go back first, remember to keep this matter secret!"

"understand!"

With a solemn expression, Xiao Fang closed the door and strode away.

the next day!
Fang Ziheng woke up quietly, rubbed his dizzy head upstairs, got out of bed, jolted to the living room downstairs.

On the sofa in the living room.

Concubine Lin sat cross-legged quietly, opened her eyes when she heard the sound, looked at Fang Ziheng who had lost her soul, and joked: "Wake up, how much did you drink yesterday?"

"I didn't drink much, a bottle of Moutai for two people!"

Fang Ziheng was a little embarrassed, his drinking capacity was so fucking embarrassing.

Concubine Lin was speechless, pointed to the bathroom, and said angrily, "Hurry up and take a bath, there is millet porridge for you in the kitchen."

"Well, it's still my sister who treats me well."

Fang Ziheng patted his haggard cheeks, grinned at Sister Lin, and was about to go over and give her a loving hug.

"Go, go, smell of alcohol, stay away from me!" Sister Lin frowned in fright and waved her hands again and again.

Take a shower, brush your toothbrush, drink millet porridge, and take a nap on the sofa.

Until almost noon.

Fang Ziheng regained his vitality and felt that he was doing well again.

Liu Qianqian and Andy came hand in hand, carrying large and small bags of food, fruits, and ingredients.

The young lady helped Fang Ziheng to sit up, checked him, and saw that he was fine, so she smiled: "Ziheng, how did you talk with Lao Mouzi yesterday?"

"pretty good!"

Fang Ziheng was leisurely, picked up an apple from the coffee table, gnawed it and said with a smile: "We talked about a lot of topics, astronomy and geography, all kinds of things."

"Then he promised to come to our Hengyu?"

"No!"

"what!"

The three beauties exclaimed in unison, stood up abruptly, and looked at Fang Ziheng in disbelief.

I have to send..
No answer!
I didn't promise that you could still be so leisurely!

Concubine Lin and Andy were so anxious that they really wanted to kick this guy.

The two of them were busy last night, undressing him, wiping his body, pouring tea and water for him.

Now Fang Ziheng told them that Lao Mouzi did not agree to come to Hengyu.

The two of them spent a whole night taking care of this guy for nothing!
"Old Fang, Xiao Fang said that when you walked out of the private restaurant with Lao Mouzi yesterday, you put your arms around your shoulders and talked and laughed."

"Yes, there is such a thing, I still remember."

"Since we had a good chat, then why?"

Concubine Lin looked at him with doubts in her eyes.

Fang Ziheng is drunk, what are you doing!

Whoever talks well will be able to win Lao Mouzi.

The other party is an international big director, and he wants to pull him into the chariot after eating a meal, how can there be such a good thing!

After taking a bite of the apple, Fang Ziheng spread his hands and said vaguely: "Relax, people like Lao Mouzi are wise and foolish, so there is no need to follow him to such a death. He will come to Hengyu in a few days, and then you will come to him." understood."

"Sister Lin, I'm hungry, hurry up and cook!"

After finishing speaking, Fang Ziheng touched his empty abdomen.

"You can't eat too greasy today, I'll steam two steamed buns and you deal with it!"

Concubine Lin hummed a few words, picked up a bag of ingredients, and walked into the kitchen twisting her waist.

"Cook two more corn cobs, just right for millet porridge."

Andy also rolled his eyes, mentioned another ingredient, and left the back of his head for him.

Fang Ziheng: "."

What the hell, this is how you treat the hero who returned in triumph!

He looked at Liu Qianqian, trying to get comfort.

The young lady went upstairs with her hands behind her back, and threw a hygienic eye at him!
