Entertainment, I only like to make movies

Chapter 272 Guy paper, good question!

Chapter 272 Guy paper, good question!

"Oh, the two directors are also interested in movies?"

Fang Ziheng smiled and sat down safely, beckoning the waiter next to him to pour him a glass of red wine.

Speaking of which, he was quite surprised that Erma came today.

These two were uninvited guests.

Although Hengyu sent invitation letters to Ali and Tengxun, the invitation letters were sent to Youku Video and Tengxun Video, not to their company headquarters.

But the visitor is a visitor, since we are here, let's have a chat.

After he sat down, the two horses looked at each other, and the Shenzhen horse made a gesture of invitation, indicating that the Hangzhou horse would come first.

The corner of Hangcheng Ma's mouth twitched slightly, secretly scolding Xiao Ma for being a chicken thief, and asked him to wade into the water first.

How many times has this happened!

Hey!
Not caring about fighting against Xiao Ma, Hangcheng Ma sat up straight, looked at Fang Ziheng and smiled slightly: "Director Fang, you are a movie master, I want to know how big a plate do you think our Huaguo movie market can be in the end?" ?”

"1000 billion, 2000 billion, or 3000 billion!"

I go!

Why is this kind of routine again!

Why do these Internet bigwigs always like to come up with pretentious quotations before the conversation, as if they are afraid that others will not know that they are awesome.

Before in Shencheng, four generals from Teng Xun came to the door, and they just opened their mouths and asked him how big a Chinese film can be.

Today Hang Chengma asked the same question again, the routines of the two gangsters are exactly the same!
You can die if you don't pretend, right?
Fang Ziheng secretly rolled his eyes, feeling extremely speechless.

He was speechless, and the others at the table were startled, with different expressions on their faces.

Director Han, the Director of the Film Bureau, and the Deputy Mayor were stunned. They looked at Da Ma and Fang Ziheng, and were almost not distracted by this sentence.

The three of them are directly or indirectly in charge of the cultural film and television industry, so they naturally know the general situation of Huaguo's film market.

Hehe, 3000 billion!

It's really from the Internet, so bragging that I don't even type the draft.

Almost instantly, Han Dong and the three thought that Da Ma was deliberately pretending to coerce Fang Ziheng.

They didn't know that Fang Ziheng had said this long ago, and the target was Teng Xun's people.

With lowered eyes, Wang Jianlin quickly analyzed the credibility of Hang Cheng's Ma words in his mind, and waited quietly for Fang Ziheng to speak.

Only Xiao Ma was not in a hurry, a smile flashed across his face, and he picked up his wine glass and took a sip.

He has the demeanor of a big boss who is calm and calm, and has a certain chance of winning.

He is an understanding brother. As early as more than half a month ago, the four of Teng Xun gave him a detailed report one by one after they returned, and informed Fang Ziheng of his expectations for the Chinese film market.

"Director Ma, are you asking the wrong person?"

"The market is made by people. How big it can be depends on everyone's dedication and hard work."

Fang Ziheng smiled lightly and moved the subject away.

On this occasion, as the host, it is not suitable for him to talk about probability issues.

He had a vague premonition that as long as he answered the call, no matter which number he said, Hang Chengma would double the number.

If he calls 1000 billion, the other party will call 2000 billion!
He shouted 3000 billion, and the other party dared to shout 6000 billion.

Anyway, it was just firing, and Hang Chengma didn't have to take responsibility.

He was different. If he dared to yell on such occasions, he would definitely be on the hot news tomorrow and known by the people of the whole country.

If you kill him, you won't be able to accept these words.

Afterwards, Fang Ziheng went the other way and said to everyone: "The film market in Huaguo will definitely grow bigger and bigger. This is a good thing. It shows that the national economy continues to improve, and the number of people who want to watch movies and who like movies is increasing. More and more."

"It's true. The capital invested in the film market in the past two years has been a lot more than the previous two years. Everyone wants to get a piece of the movie market!"

Wang Jianlin nodded slightly, and glanced at Er Ma, expressing his intention.

Facing Pharaoh's gaze, Er Ma looked relaxed and didn't care.

The shamelessness and psychological quality of the two have already been cultivated to the point where they are as thick as a city wall, and Mount Tai will not jump over the top.

I saw Hangcheng Ma picked up a lobster and put it on the plate, put on disposable gloves slowly, peeled the shrimp, and said: "It is not a problem to enter the theater to make a movie, but how many good movies can be made is the fundamental thing!"

"Three leaders, Fang Dao, I work on the Internet, Ali's Taobao specializes in serving hundreds of millions of users across the country.

This kind of service is very similar to making movies. When making movies to make movies that audiences like, Taobao also provides customers with high-quality products. "

"I have always felt that the Internet can completely cooperate with movies. One side provides a platform, and the other side provides content, so as to further explore the potential of the market and allow more people to see the movies they want to watch and the movies they like!"

As soon as these words came out, Shencheng Ma's eyes narrowed, and he nodded heavily: "Yes, what Brother Ma said is also my idea. The Internet connects thousands of households, and the age of intelligence is coming. Everyone has a mobile phone, and a good movie is pushed through the Internet. It can be seen by tens of millions of people!"

The two sang together tacitly, and instantly brought the topic to the Internet's help to movies.

The eyes of the three leaders flickered, and they didn't know how to define the advantages and disadvantages of the Internet for movies.

The three of them smiled, neither nodding nor negating, but not opening their mouths to agree.

The energy of Erma may be great in the information industry and information department, but it is the same in the entire entertainment industry and in the film and television field.

With the position of three people, there is no need to hold two people.

Wang Jianlin looked disdainful, and didn't believe Er Ma's nonsense at all.

Although he can't claim to be good at the Internet, he has learned it a few times. It has no technical content, and its development depends on the expansion of national infrastructure and the transmission of secure information.

None of the four were willing to choke, so Fang Ziheng could only do it by himself.

He put down his wine glass, nodded and said in a calm voice: "The Internet is a good thing. I believe that within a few years, as film and television copyrights become more standardized, people will be able to watch any movie, TV series, and variety show on the Internet."

"The Internet age has arrived, and using the Internet to promote movies has become a major publicity tool for producers. The addition of the Internet is indeed a great thing for the film industry!"

As soon as he came up, he pointed out the key!

The entry of the Internet is a good thing, but it is only limited to publicity.

As for big data, forget it.

That thing is only useful for shopping and short videos for women, not for movies.

After affirming the advantages of the Internet, Fang Ziheng calmed down, and said in a serious voice, "But we also need to know that the film and television industry is different from other industries, it is a high-risk and high-risk industry.

So far, almost no movie has been able to determine the success or failure of the movie before it is released. "

"The content of a movie covers too many doorways!"

"Oh, can Director Fang explain it in detail?" Xiao Ma's eyes lit up and he asked.

"For example, let's take "The King of Kung Fu" as an example!"

Fang Ziheng lightly tapped on the dining table with his knuckles, and slowed down his tone and voice slightly: "The combination of Uncle Long and Brother Jie appeared in front of Chinese people for the first time, logically speaking, "The King of Kung Fu" should have a box office of hundreds of millions, right?" ?”

"However, the fact is that "The King of Kung Fu" only won 1.7 million soft sister coins in the mainland market. You must know that it was in 07, and there were already [-] million movies in the market."

After hearing this, Hangcheng Ma casually answered: "The King of Kung Fu has hit nearly 1.3 million US dollars at the box office around the world, isn't it a loss?"

"It's not enough to lose money. The production budget was 5800 million US dollars, and the copyright was sold for 3300 million US dollars. It can be regarded as the box office in the mainland and the peripherals in the Asian region. It is worthy of return."

Fang Ziheng smiled lightly, shook his head and said: "But considering the appeal of Uncle Long and Brother Jie, the box office of this movie obviously did not achieve the expected benefits!"

"It can be seen that just having superstars joining in does not guarantee that a movie will be a hit!"

The five people at the dining table nodded slowly, and Dong Han's brow showed a hint of understanding and approval.

Superstars are not necessarily reliable!
Afterwards, Fang Ziheng raised two fingers and said, "If actors belong to the first unstable factor, then directors belong to the second uncontrollable factor!"

"Director Fang, we understand this. Many directors have the problem of adding plays, changing plays, and acting willfully with erratic inspiration!"

The Director of the Film Bureau smiled and opened his mouth, explaining the key factors that the director cannot control.

The representative figure among them is Chen Daren!
Wang Jianlin pondered for a while, then looked up: "Director Fang, besides the actors and the director, are there other uncontrollable factors?"

"Of course, the production team can call it the third uncontrollable factor in a movie!"

Fang Ziheng nodded affirmatively.

When he filmed "The Unknown", he used Xu Zhengla's production team. At that time, everyone was not well-known and had no ability.

He invited several meals and easily got along with everyone.

When filming "Detective Chinatown", Xu Zheng's team went back, and China Film and Huayi sent two teams.

Coupled with the new team formed by Hengyu, it is not an exaggeration to say that the crew is a mixed bag.

But at that time, everyone was in Thailand, thousands of miles away from home. Fang Ziheng wrote, directed and acted by himself, took the lead, and conquered the entire crew bit by bit with his beautiful directing skills.

By the time "Four Famous Arrests" was filmed, he was already a [-] million director, and no one in the crew would dare to stab him.

But in order to twist the entire crew into a single thread, he specially set up a director department, and every night there will be a meeting to run the crew and fine-tune the work plan for the next day.

In this way, he has truly trained a team that can fight wherever he wants, and command like an arm.

The tempering of the three plays created the tacit cooperation between "Edge of Tomorrow" and "Looking for the Dragon".

Ha ha!

Ali and Teng Xun want to enter the film production industry, so how can they do it without some tuition fees.

Xiao Ma picked up a glass of wine, shook Fang Ziheng's glass, and asked with a smile: "Director Fang, I heard that the script is the foundation of a movie, and it is known as the foundation of a play. What do you mean by that?"

"That's right, what do you mean by that?" Wang Jianlin raised his brows and interrupted.

Speaking of the script, Lao Wang also became interested, recalling a matter Song Ge, the person in charge of Wanda Films, had reported to him before.

At that time, Song Ge took the outline of the story of "The Great Wall" created by an expert, and came to Fang Ziheng to talk about cooperation, but was severely despised.

Fang Ziheng scoffed at the original "Great Wall" story, and didn't like it at all.

Fortunately, at the beginning, he decided to hand over the full power to Fang Ziheng, and even handed over the script and filming rights to Hengyu Media, and Wanda was only responsible for investing money.

Wang Jianlin's courage and sincerity brought Fang Ziheng's joining, and Hengyu Media made a full effort, willing to cooperate with Wanda Film and Television to create a blockbuster ancient costume movie with a huge cast.

"The script of a play! One of the prerequisites for the systematization of the Hollywood film industry, or one of the standards for Hollywood films to be sold globally!"

"I can say unceremoniously that if Chinese-language films want to go abroad, the script is the most important thing!"

The resounding words resounded, instantly causing waves in the hearts of all present.

As Fang Ziheng's words fell, Hang Chengma put down the lobster in his hand, wiped his mouth with a hot towel, and slowly raised his head to look over.

He has a good memory and clearly remembers Ali's internal investigation of Fang Ziheng and Hengyu Media Group.

Fang Ziheng is a master screenwriter, standing at the top of the world among screenwriters.

As for Hengyu Media Group, among the [-] main business departments, there is a cultural screenwriting department, and Tianxia Bachang, the author of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", is one of the directors.

It can be seen that Fang Ziheng puts the screenwriter and the script in a very important position!

But after all, Hangcheng Ma didn't quite agree with Fang Ziheng's words.

In his view, Ali has huge resources in his hands, and even with a pile of resources, he can pile up several box office movies.

Moreover, Ali also has a big killer and big data in hand, which can completely push it accurately and make it perfect.

Select the right users to push the movies to them, just like Taobao recommends the products they need to customers, movies can also be differentiated from the audience.

Costume movies are pushed to users who like to watch costume movies, and action movies are pushed to users who like to watch action movies.

Even before the establishment of the project, it is possible to obtain an approximate final box office through big data surveys, and then calculate the cost first.

What Hangcheng Ma thought in his heart was almost the same as the procedure for making online movies on the three major platforms of Youku, Tengxun Video, and iQiyi a few years later!
Bad movies get together, pushed to users who like it, and forcefully feed shit to users.

Then users backfired, causing the three major platforms to lose tens of billions of soft sister coins every year, and finally returned to the content.

But it's useless, dogs can't change their habits!
Senior Internet white-collar workers and gold-collar workers who are used to big data can at most create one or two hot movies for the platform, and most of the time they are still bad movies.

That is to say, the three major platforms have divided up the traffic, otherwise they will be taught how to behave by users every minute.

This is the reason why Fang Ziheng is unwilling to accept investment from the three Internet companies.

He doesn't believe in big data, and he doesn't believe that those who deal with data and traffic will really make movies and TV series.

What he just said is true or false, and he doesn't expect Er Ma to listen to it.

The main thing is to tell the three leaders and Wang Jianlin, hoping to add some benefits to the development of Chinese-language films.

The old man is a real person with a solid backbone, and he has nowhere to spend his money. Since he wants to make trouble in the global film market, it doesn't matter if Hengyu helps him.

.........

At this point in the conversation, several people drank two glasses and took a few mouthfuls of food with chopsticks.

At this time, Wang Zhongjun, Jia Yueting, Wang Changtian, and Yu Dong walked over from the side table with red wine.

"Fang Dong, congratulations!"

"Haha, today I must have a drink or two with Fang Dong to celebrate."

As soon as the four of them came over, they toasted Fang Ziheng, their eyes sparkled, and they looked at him as if they were looking at a little girl.

Nima
Fang Ziheng grinned, feeling numb in his heart, and stretched out his hand to invite the four of them to sit down.

He could see the ambiguous eyes of the four people at a glance, which was not far from the opening ceremony of "Looking for the Dragon" last year.

They all have the same meaning, hit the autumn wind!
Sure enough, as soon as the four of them sat down, they quickly showed their fox tails.

Wang Zhongjun clinked glasses with everyone first, then sat down next to Fang Ziheng, and said in a low voice: "Fang Dong, tell my brother, how many projects does Hengyu plan to develop this year?"

This guy is also funny, he seems to speak in a low voice, but his expression is urgent, and he is instantly caught by everyone.

Could it be that I drank too much!
Everyone is at the same table, so close to each other, who can't hear you.

Fang Ziheng misunderstood.

There is only one reason why Wang Zhongjun urgently spoke in person. He was worried that Hengyu's project would be divided up by China Film, Ali, Tengxun and Wanda in advance.

Before he came, he was bragging with his younger brother Wang Zhonglei, at least he wanted to win one of Hengyu's projects this year.

Like Wang Zhongjun, Wang Changtian and Yu Dong were also afraid of being robbed by the three giant predators.

As for Jia Yueting, this guy is here to fool people, and wants to cooperate with Fang Ziheng to engage in film and television industry stocks and go public together to collect money.

Several people looked at Fang Ziheng eagerly, hoping to hear satisfactory news.

Han Dong, Wang Jianlin, Hangcheng Ma, and Shencheng Ma also moved their minds and gave Wang Zhongjun an appreciative look.

Guy paper, good question!

If you don't speak up, how dare we, as bigwigs, take the initiative to propose Hengyu's project.

 Let me just say that Erma wants to cast a movie, not because he wants to make money at the movie box office alone, but because he has other ideas, which will be reflected in subsequent chapters,
