Entertainment, I only like to make movies

Chapter 237 The Lonely Hero
Ching Hai Resort.

Fang Ziheng sat under the sun canopy, carefully inspecting the shot just finished.

Not far away, Mojin's trio, sweating profusely, came out of the underground studio palace.

As soon as they came up, Liu Ye and Huang Bo ran to the artificial clear water pool, poured water on their faces.

Liu Qianqian was also very hot. She first went to the sun canopy to hide from the shade, and sat next to Fang Ziheng to enjoy the crew's only outdoor electric fan.

"I'm so hot, director, do you have an iced drink?"

"No, girls should drink less cold things, or you will suffer in time."

Fang Ziheng didn't squint, and while speaking, he handed his thermos cup to the young lady.

The young lady rolled her eyes, took the thermos cup without distaste, and gulped down several mouthfuls.

"Hey, why is it so sweet?"

The young lady licked the corner of her mouth and looked into the thermos.

Gee.
In an instant, the young lady showed a look of disdain.

Fang Ziheng happened to see it, and suddenly felt hairy: "Why, I'm too tired recently, why don't I drink some wolfberry tea?"

"Of course, it's best to drink it with ginseng."

The young lady nodded solemnly and returned the thermos to him, unwilling to drink any more.

Fang Ziheng: "."

If you hadn't squeezed me every day, I would have used goji berries to make tea!
"Don't drink anymore?"

"Stop drinking, the director needs more tea!"

The young lady had a serious expression, obviously holding back a smile.

Don't drink it.

Fang Ziheng took two mouthfuls, wiped his mouth and continued to review the shot.

Twenty minutes later.

He got up from his seat, picked up the small speaker and yelled: "Actors quickly touch up their makeup, get ready in 10 minutes!"

Hearing this, the set was filled with mourning.

"Director, let us go, let us take a rest."

"Director, please, we are too hot!"

"Director, I was wrong, I shouldn't drink your wolfberry tea!"

Time to July.

The summer file has entered the most intense moment of confrontation, and the flames of war have spread to the entire entertainment circle.

Among them, the most eye-catching movie is "Party Founding 1".

Nineteen days after its release, the box office hit 3.17 million, and the momentum in the third week was still strong, as high as more than 9000 million.

In addition, "Martial Arts" was released for seven days, with a total box office of more than 4 million, and won the weekly box office champion from July 7th to July 10th.

On the box office data table, the rest of the movies released are at a glance.

No.3 "Fortune Inn" was released for 2690 days, with a weekly box office of 8140 million and a total box office of [-] million.
No.4 "Far Cry" was released for three days, with a total box office of 2430 million.

No.5 "Animal Story" was released for 17 days, with a weekly box office of 1460 million and a total box office of 5455 million.
No.6 will not work.

Movies such as "Ultimate Express", "Deadly Heartbeat", "Butterfly on the Shoulder", and "Strategic Secret Service" have been in theaters for more than ten days, and the total box office has not exceeded 2000 million.

In early and mid-July, whether it's entertainment reports or film schedules, "Party Founding 1" dominates.

7 month 18 day.

"Party Founding 1" was released for 32 days, and the total box office reached 4.1 million yuan.

China Film Group held a celebration banquet, and Fang Ziheng didn't have time to attend, so he asked Concubine Lin to bring someone to join him.

So far, the first half of the summer vacation has come to an end.

On July 7, "Modern Times" starring Xu Zheng was released.

On July 7th, Hengyu Media's first film this year, directed by Wen Muye, written by Fang Ziheng, starring Xiao Yang and Zeng Li, "Manslaughter 20" was officially released.

Two movies were released one after the other, one focused on comedy and the other focused on suspenseful crime.

The first-day box office of "Modern Times" was 1280 million, which did not meet Xu Zheng's expectations.

The main feature of the movie is comedy, with all the jokes and burdens, but for some reason, there is no famous scene that makes the audience shine and laugh out loud.

Nothing amazing, just an average passable comedy.

"Manslaughter 1" had a box office of 1800 million on the first day, which met Wen Muye's expectations, and he breathed a sigh of relief from his tense heart.

After the movie was released, both Hengyu Media and Zhuying Group invested huge publicity and distribution expenses, almost equally split the entertainment media reports and Weibo hot searches.

Three days after its release, "Manslaughter 3" took the lead, with a box office of 1 million. It began to drive publicity with word of mouth, attracting more audiences to spend money to buy tickets.

"Modern Year" was mailed, and most of the word of mouth was ruined before it got up.

Many viewers who have watched the movie commented on the Internet, expressing that their expectations for Xu Zheng were too high.

These remarks were quickly suppressed by Zhuying Group, and millions of publicity expenses were sucked up every day, suppressing all different voices.

7 month 25 number.

"Modern Times" was released for 6 days, with a total box office of 6300 million, which is 1500 million less than the previous life!
After this news broke out, Zhuying Group's publicity was broken in an instant, and the dissatisfied voices of countless viewers flooded the Internet.

The entertainment media stopped the losses in time, and instead of helping to cover up, they counterattacked and ended the game with rhythm.

In just one night, the banner of the city wall was changed on the Internet, and thousands of voices of Xu Zheng's crusade appeared.

"Xu Zheng, a man who can't do without "Tai囧"!"

""Modern Times" is old-fashioned, the plot is outdated, not only does it not have its own style, but it also has no new ideas!"

"Bad review! How much I expected Xu Zheng, how disappointed I am today!"

"Pull through the clouds and mist to see the truth, once back before liberation, leave Fang Ziheng, lose the "Tai囧" series, and return to the mediocre Xu Zheng!"

""Manslaughter 1" has a strong reputation, the box office is rising steadily, and the first low-cost dark horse in the summer file appears!"

"The total box office of "Manslaughter 1" exceeded [-] million. Director Wen Muye served as the assistant director of "The Unknown", "Detective Chinatown", "Four Famous Arrests", and "Edge of Tomorrow"."

"Following Su Lun, the director of "Youth Campus", Fang Ziheng launched Wen Muye, the second new director of Hengyu Media, and his debut was amazing!"

""Manslaughter 1", a classic dark horse movie with a small and big picture, the starring Xiao Yang and Zeng Li collaborated for the second time, continuing to write the suspenseful situation of "Detective Chinatown"!"

The reports on the Internet are polarized, one part is heaven and the other part is hell.

The media had just finished spraying Xu Zheng and "Modern Times" in the previous report, and the latter report was full of hype about "Manslaughter 1" and Wen Muye.

Xu Zheng's studio.

In the office with simple decoration, the atmosphere is dignified and smoky.

Xu Zheng sat on the sofa with a gloomy face, smoking a dull cigarette, his bald head was not there, and there was a faint cloud cover.

Opposite him, manager Liu Ruifang was also holding a lady's cigarette, her eyebrows were deeply furrowed, and she exuded an aura that no strangers should enter.

The two stood there like two icebergs, and the employees outside the door who were about to come in to deliver the documents shrank their necks in fright and stopped in their tracks.

a long time.

Liu Ruifang stubbed out the cigarette, got up and opened the window, and said in a concentrated voice: "Zhengzi, now is the critical moment. First, you must be stable, and then make sure that "The Golden Heist" will not go wrong. The movie must be released on the National Day file!"

"Whether you can stand up or not depends on the follow-up battle!"

"I know, Ning Hao called me, and he helped me stabilize the pony galloping and bright."

Xu Zheng took a sharp puff of his cigarette, stared at the smoke in front of him and said quietly.

This blow was almost fatal to him.

How glorious he was last October, how lost he is today.

If it weren't for the "Golden Heist" this year, I'm afraid Xu Zheng would be abandoned by investors soon.

As the audience said, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. After leaving the "Tai囧" series, without the support of an excellent script, he was immediately beaten back to his original form.

Xu Zheng secretly sighed in his heart. Previously, he only cared about ignoring Fang Ziheng's figure and walking out of his own film path, but forgot the importance of the script.

The script of "Modern Times" is mediocre, and the box office is far below expectations. Let alone rushing to the height of "Lost in Thailand", I am afraid that it will not even reach the minimum goal of [-] million.

The word-of-mouth of the film has plummeted even more. It is far from enough to spend money on publicity alone, and it can't pull the box office at all.

Ugh..
If he had refrained from his ambitions and continued to cooperate with Fang Ziheng, perhaps he would have directed "Manslaughter 1", which has been touted by the media outside.

Even if it's not "Manslaughter 1", Hengyu will definitely have a place in the six or seven films he directed this year.

Xu Zheng took a light breath and suppressed the thoughts in his mind.

Now that you've decided, don't worry about it anymore!

He didn't believe it anymore, it would be impossible to leave Fang Ziheng!
"Modern Times" screwed up, and "The Golden Heist."

As long as "Golden Secret" succeeds and gets a good box office, it can also prove that he is Xu Zheng.

The fierce battle in the summer vacation continues.

On July 7, "Manslaughter 29" was released for 1 days, and the total box office exceeded 8 million. It was called a lonely hero by the media.

It has become the only Chinese-language movie that can be played in the second half of the summer, and it is also the only one that directly faces Hollywood blockbusters.

Not for anything else, just because "Transformers 3" is coming.

Since the increase of foreign imported films last year, Hollywood movies are released almost every month in the mainland film market.

Among them, June and September have the most Hollywood movies.

The Hollywood movie that can be played this summer is not "Kung Fu Panda 2" or "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", but "Transformers 3".

Fang Ziheng said it doesn't matter, reassuring the people in the company that "Manslaughter 1" and "Transformers" are not the same theme, but when it comes to confronting the film head-on, he still pays close attention to the trend of the film market.

Notify the publicity department in advance, and do a good job in the publicity and distribution work after the release of "Manslaughter 1", so that Ning You will not be reluctant to spend money.

On July 7, "Transformers 29" entered Huaguo.

Once it was released, it attracted a large number of audiences to buy tickets and enter the cinema.

The popcorn was popped throughout the movie, bang bang bang all the way to the end.

The brutal picture created an extremely strong first-day box office for the film.

On the first day of its release, "Transformers 3" broke all kinds of records and hit the peak box office of 1.01 million soft sister coins in one fell swoop.

Breaking through [-] million in a single day!

Breaking an unprecedented record, the entire Huaguo film industry was dumbfounded, and most of the entertainment industry fell silent.

When the crew of "Looking for the Dragon", which was filmed in Qinghai, heard the news on the set, everyone's face changed drastically, and they were too scared to speak.

One billion!
Last year's New Year's Eve "Edge of Tomorrow", with the help of more than 20 satellite TVs, it only reached a height of 7200 million.

In just six months, the data has increased by 3000 million, which is incredible.

You know, this is just the box office on the first day!

That morning, the media boasted overwhelmingly, and 80.00% of the entertainment news on the entire network was reporting on the feat achieved by "Transformers 3".

Compared with "Avatar" in early 10 and "Edge of Tomorrow" in early 11, it is even more popular.

There is no doubt that "Transformers 3" became famous in the first battle and became the most watched movie in the second half of the summer, bar none.

The box office record of [-] million in a single day also cast a shadow over the sky of Chinese-language movies.

On this day, many filmmakers who are not able to withstand stress in their hearts are frowning, sighing, and have no idea of ​​catching up with "Transformers 3".

Another group of experts and scholars made public speeches on the Internet, clamoring that the wolf is coming, and scolding China Film and Optoelectronics for their shitty eyes.

It's not a good choice to choose, but to choose some monstrous giants imported movies, and let Hollywood movies enjoy the dividends of China's development in vain.

The next day, "Transformers 3" fell back, with a single-day box office of 9530 million.

This data did not make everyone feel relaxed, but even more worrying and fearful.

Nothing else, because the third day is Saturday!

On Saturday, under the witness of countless people, the box office of "Transformers" hit a record high on that day, broke the first-day box office record, and climbed to an astonishing height of 1.15 million.

The miracle continues.

On Sunday, "Transformers 3" hit another 1.06 million soft sister coins.

Breaking [-] million in four days!
The total box office of "Transformers 3" reached 4.173 million in one fell swoop!
Invincible!
"Transformers 3" is invincible!

It is not impossible to break the record of 10 billion in "Edge of Tomorrow"!
When Fang Ziheng saw the box office data, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Manslaughter 1" faced "Transformers 3", even if Hengyu Media strengthened its publicity, it was beaten to the ground.

In the four days from 29th to August 8nd, it only got 2 million box office, and the total box office reached 2700 million. It is difficult to break 3.4 million.

At this moment, the film crew was having lunch. Liu Qianqian, Liu Ye, Huang Bo and others saw that his expression was not right, so they couldn't help asking: "Director, what happened?"

"Did the crew encounter difficulties in filming?"

"Director, just say what you need, I, Huang Bo, won't even frown!"

Fang Ziheng shook his head and forced a smile: "Everyone eat quickly, eat more, there will be many scenes in the afternoon, and it will take a lot of energy."

The deputy director Guo Fan's eyes flashed, and he guessed what was going on.

"Transformers 3" is turning the world upside down, bombarding the mainland market wildly, but any thoughtful Chinese-language filmmakers feel uncomfortable.

Not to mention "Manslaughter 1" controlled by Hengyu Media, which is being ravaged by this giant crocodile right now.

He bought a cup of Red Bull for Fang Ziheng, and said softly, "Director, I believe that "Looking for the Dragon" will definitely not be worse than "Transformers 3". It is still unknown who will win the box office of the year!"

Liu Qianqian had sharp ears and was sitting close to the two of them, so she heard Guo Fan's words.

She glanced at Fang Ziheng, then slammed the table, and stood up under the surprised eyes of everyone.

"Isn't it "Transformers 3"? Why are you afraid of it? Let's work together to overturn it!"

The young lady's tone was firm, her eyes were firm, and she had the momentum to strike at the slightest disagreement.

As soon as she opened her mouth, the pot exploded on the dining table.

In the past few days, everyone has been irritated by "Transformers 3", and they have long wanted to start talking about it.

"The "Transformers" series is just like that. Except for bang bang, there is no logic in the fart story." Xia Yu complained.

Huang Bo followed up and fired: "Avatar was awesome back then, but it was brought down by "Edge of Tomorrow". It was unlucky for "Transformers 3" to meet our "Looking for the Dragon", and it was chopped up every minute. .”

"Work overtime, let's work hard together, and strive to make "Looking for the Dragon" released in this year's Lunar New Year file!"

"Director, what do you say, what do we do, it's up to you in "Transformers 3"!"
