Entertainment, I only like to make movies

Chapter 229
The May Day labor holiday ushered in a turning point for the film market, which had been sluggish for more than a month.

A heart-pounding shot stirred up wind and rain, and directly boosted the box office of "Guan Yunchang", which was released on April 4, to exceed 26 million in the first six days, winning the weekly box office championship.

Leading actors Zhen Zi, Sun Niangniang, and Jiang Wen appeared on the trending searches, showing their big faces.

The movie "Guan Yunchang" was also hailed by the good media as the fuse to start the summer file war.

The heat comes quickly and goes away quickly.

Today's mainland film market is no longer an era when box office hit the world with a box office of [-] million.

Unless it encounters a low-cost production of 2000 million and shows the appearance of a dark horse, it is possible to expand the popularity and form influence on the Internet.

Xiangshan Film and Television Base.

Fang Ziheng and Lin Feifei were glued to the bedside, browsing the data sheets of the top three box office movies in the past few days.

No.1 "Guan Yunchang", released for 13 days, with a weekly box office of 5030 million and a total box office of 1.507 million.

No.1 "Rio Adventure" was released for 31 days, with a weekly box office of 2470 million and a total box office of 1.308 million.

No.3 "A Chinese Ghost Story" was released for 20 days, with a weekly box office of 2415 million and a total box office of 1.373 million.

Three movies, none of which were blockbusters.

It seems to ignite the summer file market, but it is really a pioneer for Wang, and it is a stepping stone for the summer file war.

Speaking of which, the female lead of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was originally invited by Liu Qianqian.

Miss Nai He is so angry now that she doesn't even look up to "Embroidered Spring Knife", let alone star in "A Chinese Ghost Story" with Yuzhu in front.
I heard that the producer approached the young lady twice, but she ignored her, and finally found Shishi again, and finally settled on the female lead.

After Startling Step by Step started broadcasting, Shishi's fame and status have risen sharply, throwing off the restrictions of little Liu Qianqian, and once had the momentum of catching up with Big Mimi.

Cai Yunong from the Tang Dynasty saw the need for it, and regardless of the resources, he helped Shi Shi accept several movies, hoping to make her successfully transform into a movie cafe.

This situation also led to the breakdown of the relationship between Da Mimi and the teacher, and finally they did not communicate with each other until they died.

The situation in this life is different, there is a young lady who suppresses her above, and the movies that post-85 female artists can act in must go through her hands first.

If the little sister doesn't act, the resources will fall into the hands of Da Mimi, Song Yi, Da Tiantian, Shishi and other little Huadan who are catching up behind.

For example, "Embroidered Spring Knife", Hao Yi was the first to hand over the script to the young lady, and only found Song Yi after being rejected.

watched for a while.

Fang Ziheng closed the laptop, put his arms around Sister Lin's smooth and fiery body, and said with a smile, "Zhen Bullet's appeal is still not enough!"

"It's okay, the total box office should exceed [-] million!" Concubine Lin leaned obediently in his arms and replied with a light smile.

"It can't be broken, "Guan Yunchang" has insufficient stamina!"

Fang Ziheng shook his head with a firm tone.

"Guan Yunchang" exceeded 5000 million in the first week, and only [-] million in the second week to catch up with the holidays. The box office trend has fallen too much.

Once the holiday is over, the single-day box office will only be lower, and there is no hope of breaking [-] million.

Fang Ziheng squeezed his palm lightly, slipped his other hand into the bed, and asked strangely, "Sister, what method did you use to make Sun Niangniang play the lead female role in "Guan Yunchang"?"

"Um"

"The film producer, the chairman of Xinghui Tianji is my college classmate from Nortel."

Concubine Lin took a deep breath, her elegant and idle expression tightened suddenly, and her eyes instantly became blurred and charming.

"It's her!"

Fang Ziheng stopped his fingers and showed a clear expression.

Xinghui Tianji.

A company established in 09, the owner is Liang Ting, a woman in her early 30s.

As early as the age of 23, Liang Ting established an advertising company and became the exclusive advertising agency for the 29th and 30th Golden Image Awards for two consecutive years.

High ability, good background.

Jiang Min spoke highly of Liang Ting, calling her the youngest film trader in the entertainment industry.

There is such a proverb in the film and television industry of later generations.

The man has Mark, and the woman has Liang Ting. They are the two youngest producers in the film and television industry.

But with Fang Ziheng in this life, the title of youngest will definitely not fall to them.

"Cissy come over tomorrow?"

"Yes, what's wrong with tomorrow's plane?"

Just when Fang Ziheng was recalling Xinghui Tianji Company and what works he had produced in the next few years, Sister Lin, who was in a daze, suddenly asked him.

then.

Before he could react, Sister Lin turned over and sat on top of him with a twist of her waist.

After a period of practice, Sister Lin's strength increased rapidly.

He fought against Fang Ziheng a few times, and he was able to persist undefeated for half an hour, and his combat effectiveness was not weaker than Zeng Li's at all.

Eleven at night.

Fang Ziheng came out of the bathroom, called the front desk of the hotel and ordered two suppers, ready to light up the night battle.

5 month 7 number.

"Looking for the Dragon" resumed work and continued filming.

In the large studio, next to the tombs of the Tang princes, the crew set up a desert storm.

More than 20 high-power blowers were placed on the set, divided into four directions: front, middle, back, and three steps.

"Director, the preparations are complete!"

In front of the monitor, Fang Ziheng received reports from various departments, picked up the walkie-talkie and gave instructions loudly.

"Everyone is in your place!"

"Actor is ready!"

"Scene 32, the first shot!"

"start!"

Boom
24 blowers start at the same time.

In an instant, the temperature in the studio dropped suddenly, and the field of vision was full of yellow sand, flying sand and stones.

Liu Ye, Liu Qianqian, and Huang Bo were all covered with veils, leading the horses and staggering forward against the wind and sand.

Behind the three, a team of different costumes followed closely.

In this episode, the mojin trio accepted an invitation from a major overseas client to go to Lake Baikal to explore the ancient tomb of Genghis Khan.

On the first day of entering Tibet, I encountered a medium-sized sandstorm and almost lost my way.

"Crack, do it again!"

Faces covered with wind and sand, the actors moved forward with their heads down, and it was difficult to capture the camera while walking slowly.

"Everyone is in your place!"

"Scene 32, first shot twice!"

"start!"

"Liu Ye, you're walking too fast, slow down."

"Huang Bo, your sunglasses didn't fall off naturally enough, it should look like they were blown away by wind and sand."

"Sister Jialing, you didn't let go just now, remember that you are the head of the organization behind the big scene, so why are you afraid of mere wind and sand?"

"And you, Liu Qianqian, don't close your eyes when you encounter wind and sand, but squint your eyes a little bit, so that you can not only cover the sand, but also focus your eyesight to see the road ahead."

A small storm took more than three hours to shoot, and it took six shots to pass.

According to the plot, after the wind and sand passed, the two groups of people were discovered by a nearby Mongolian tribe and took them out of danger.

When everyone came to Qingqing Grassland, they saw the vastness of the sea and the world.

During the recuperation of the Mongolian tribe, a beautiful girl found Mojin trio. She claimed to be a descendant of Genghis Khan and knew the situation of Lake Baikal.

This girl's request is very simple, she leads the way, and everyone goes together.

In this way, the three parties came to Lake Baikal, and under Hu Bayi's dragon-seeking formula, they found the cemetery of Genghis Khan buried deep at the bottom of the lake.

But this is all a follow-up plot, and the filming will not start until the crew arrives at Qinghai Resort and Qinghai Lake.

After checking the camera, Fang Ziheng nodded in satisfaction and waved at the actors.

"Call work, work overtime tonight, filming the 28th scene!"

"Got it, Director!"

All the actors said weakly.

"Bah bah..."

Liu Qianqian untied her veil and spat on the ground.

When Fang Ziheng saw it, he laughed out loud.

The young lady is unkempt, her black hair is covered with fine yellow sand, and her forehead is dirty, which is in stark contrast to the covered face.

"Hey, everyone, take a quick look. Comrade Liu Qianqian spit on the ground for not being hygienic. I suggest that she be punished for a supper tonight."

"I agree, Sissy, I'm hungry!"

Liu Ye was the first to raise his hand, filling his mouth with mineral water and winking at the others.

Liu Qianqian pursed her lips, and cast a disgusted look at Fang Ziheng.

so bad!
How can you bully a girl like this.

Hum
Miss Ben won't take a shower today, let you know what real lack of hygiene is!
Liu Jialing wiped the dust off her face with a wet tissue, and lamented: "I can't eat supper, I just want to take a shower and have a good sleep, I'm too tired."

"too tired"

"Director, we are too tired!"

tired!
Even if you are tired, you have to film.

After dinner, Fang Ziheng drove everyone to the set without their butts warming up.

"Start work!"

"Lighting, photography, props, setting the scene according to plan."

"Actors put on makeup quickly, and turn on the phone in 10 minutes!"

The days of shooting are boring, repeating the current scene and performance over and over again until I am satisfied.

At the end of May, "Looking for the Dragon" completed the first phase of filming and left Xiangshan Film and Television Base to charter a flight to Qinghai.

During this time, the crew was a little calm and there were no waves.

The outside world was turbulent, and the flames of war in the summer vacation began to spread.

The fourth part of the classic Hollywood series of films produced by Disney Pictures, "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" will be released on May 5.

With its strong brand effect, it achieved a super high box office of 3 million in 1.45 days, ranking first in the box office this week.

In the North American market, "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" was even more fierce, winning the championship with US$9015 million.

"Pirates of the Caribbean 4"!
This is the first "pirate" film shot with digital 3D technology, and it has attracted a lot of attention before it was released.

In Fang Ziheng's memory, the movie was screened in the mainland market for 30 days, with a total volume of 4.6 million.

If it weren't for the domestic protection month, the total box office would be even higher.

The global box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" is as high as $10 billion.

Qinghai Holiday Scenic Resort Villa, where "Looking for the Dragon" was filmed.

A sudden heavy rain disrupted Fang Ziheng's plan to inspect the filming set, and also gave the crew an excuse to rest for two days.

In a luxury suite on the east side of the fifth floor.

Fang Ziheng sat in front of the computer, listening to the sound of raindrops outside the window, and tapped the keyboard with ten fingers.

The filming of "Looking for the Dragon" is on the right track. As a director, he is much more relaxed and doesn't need to care about everything. He only needs to review the shooting plans submitted by various departments of the crew every week.

With extra time, he also set his sights on next year's projects.

"Great Wall"!
In the previous life, "The Great Wall" was jointly produced by Huaguo Film Co., Ltd., LeTV Pictures, Legendary Pictures, and Universal Pictures.

Directed by Lao Mouzi, it brings together Matt Damon, Jing Tian, ​​Pedro Pascal, Willem Dafoe, Andy Lau, and Zhang Hanyu.

The story background of the film is set during the Song Dynasty. It tells the story of William Galin, a European mercenary who was imprisoned on the Great Wall. The story of an army of elite warriors fighting together against monster gluttony.

To be honest, putting the background of the story in the Song Dynasty is an idiot operation.

Everyone knows that among the several dynasties in ancient times, the Tang Dynasty is the most powerful and famous dynasty in the world.

The Chinatowns of Chinese in overseas countries and regions are enough to explain the prestige of Datang.

As a co-production film, "The Great Wall" focuses on overseas markets. It doesn't use the Tang Dynasty as the background of the story, but uses the Song Dynasty instead. I really don't know who gave the producer confidence.

The plot of the movie is also nonsense. It’s okay for foreigners to help resist alien beasts and aggression in the movie, but they can’t overwhelm the host.

Let alone foreigners as saviors!
Wanda Film and Television asked him to cooperate, and it would be no problem for him to lead the "Great Wall" project.

It is absolutely impossible for him, Fang Ziheng, to direct a movie with a crooked ass. Don't even think about it. As early as the beginning of the cooperation, he made the rules clear to Song Ge of Wanda Films.

With the speed of Fang Ziheng's hands, lines of jet-black italic characters appeared on the document page of the laptop.

Setting: The background of the story is the middle and early period of the Tang Dynasty. Not long after Taizong Li Shimin passed away, Gaozong Li Zhi came to the throne.

The emperor first boarded the Great Treasure and was busy coordinating court affairs, neglecting the situation in the frontier for a while.

In the north of the sky, at the forefront of the border, an important town appeared in the ice and snow.

The city is named Tianque!
The majestic pass of Tianque City is steep, and it is the only main road for foreigners from the north to enter the territory of the Celestial Dynasty and offer sacrifices to the Celestial Dynasty.

On a dark and windy night, several beasts suddenly went mad, and frantically attacked the villages living outside Tianque City, killing and wounding dozens of villagers.

When the incident was reported to Tianque City, it attracted the attention of the officials who maintained the law and order around the city. He sent scouts out of the city to investigate the situation.

At this time, the army sent by the court to change defense and the general guarding Tianque arrived.

Seven days later, a large number of strange beasts attacked.

The guarding army had just left, and the guarding army hadn't fully cultivated yet, so they were caught off guard by the strange beast.

Fortunately, the guarding general who switched defenses was highly skilled and commanded well. After a round of scheduling, he finally defeated the alien beast.

One day, the general's daughter led people out of the city to investigate the situation, and captured several white-skinned aliens.

"I don't want to indulge anymore, I don't want to drift every second every day and night."

The phone rang, and it was a call from the deputy director Guo Fan.

Fang Ziheng stopped the code words, swiped off the phone and played hands-free.

"Hey, what's the matter?"

"Director, the crew of Di Lieba, who played the role of the Holy Maiden, is here. She said she brought you a present."

"Understood, you bring her up."

Di Lieba!

Bring a gift?
It can't be beef jerky.

The corners of Fang Ziheng's mouth twitched, he shook his head and continued typing, not trusting the gift this girl brought.

Reba is a new artist signed by the company. She has just been admitted to the Shanghai Film Academy, and she will play the saint of longevity in "Looking for the Dragon".

The so-called Saintess of Longevity is actually the No. [-] person who guards the Genghis Khan cemetery.

The number one person is her mother, known as a goddess, who disappeared suddenly five years ago without a trace.

This role is also played by Di Lieba, who plays two roles, playing both mother and daughter.

Although there are not many scenes, it drives the plot in the emperor's tomb. It is similar to the role of Baby Yang in the original version, and it belongs to the weird one.

10 minute later.

Fang Ziheng opened the door and met Di Lieba, the little Huadan who became popular in 17.
