Entertainment, I only like to make movies

Chapter 274 Domestic films will never be defeated by Hollywood blockbusters
February 2th, the 12st of the first month.

"Embroidered Spring Knife" was released for 28 days, and the total box office reached 5.3 million yuan, completing the sweep of the Spring Festival stalls.

Since the first two days, the film has been weak in succession. The single-day box office fell below 100 million, and there is no hope of breaking 6 million. The final total box office was around 5.4 to 5.5 million.

This week, the mainland market belongs to "Mission: Impossible 4", with a single-week box office of 1.32 million, winning the weekly championship.

According to the data released by China Film, "Mission Impossible 4" was released for 16 days, with a total box office of 4.6 million, which is 2000 million less than the previous life.

除了《碟中谍4》之外，2月6号至2月12号还有五部电影上榜。

No.2 "Journey to the Center of the Earth 2: The Mysterious Island" was released for 3 days, with a total box office of 9580 million soft sister coins.
No.3 "I Do" was released for three days, with a total of 1990 million soft sister coins.

No.4 "Love at High Altitude 2", released for 4 days, with a total box office of 1160 million soft sister coins.
No.5 "Death Gold" was released for 10 days, with a weekly box office of 1050 million and a total box office of 2480 million.

"Embroidered Spring Knife" ranked No.6. It was released for 28 days, with a weekly box office of 950 million and a total box office of 5.36 million soft sister coins.

In the office of Chairman Hengyu.

After browsing the movie data sheet, Fang Ziheng shook his head helplessly.

After the increase in imported films, the domestic protection month is faltering, and at least one or two Hollywood films will be released in the mainland every month.

Without policy protection, most domestic films seem to lack a layer of gold, and they can only be beaten when they encounter Hollywood special effects blockbusters.

This kind of thing cannot be avoided. Only by rising up and resisting, and using each high-quality film to face hard steel, can the annual box office share of domestic films be stabilized, and the audience's confidence in domestic films can be strengthened little by little.

After closing the computer, Fang Ziheng opened the drawer, took out a hot gold invitation letter and put it on the table.

Sina Weibo held the first Weibo Night.

Sina CEO Cao Guowei made a special trip to Hengyu and handed over the invitation letter to him, asking him and his artists to appear on the stage.

Weibo Night, the previous event was called the Sina Grand Ceremony, which didn't have much gold content, and it all relied on celebrity artists to support the scene.

There are a lot of various awards, and they will be given as soon as they go, everyone has a share.

Fang Ziheng vaguely remembered that there would be more than a dozen such pheasant festivals in the next year.

Media websites, TV stations, video websites, all platforms that have anything to do with the entertainment industry have held such activities.

For example, Concubine Lin and Andy, the two beauties also wanted to hold the Potato Festival, and they even made a special plan, which was included in Hengyu's major events in 2012.

Just waiting for Tudou Video to go on the market again in April, the grand ceremony plan will be implemented.

Its name is to boost Tudou's reputation, but in fact it is Concubine Lin and the others who want to further raise the reputation of Hengyu Media.

To put it bluntly, I just want to set up a huge mountain!

Hengyu is currently taking the route of forming good relationships, not offending anyone, and cooperating with major film and television companies for win-win results.

This route works in the short-term, but not in the long-term. It lacks the power and arrogance to overwhelm the world.

Fang Ziheng's leisure is at their disposal.

In the past few years, he has made friends with this and that outside, and he is used to it as a good guy, and it is time to show off his muscles.

咚咚
There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Fang Ziheng looked up and leaned back, looking like a boss.

The office door was pushed open, and Fang Rou stepped in with Liu Minghui, director of strategic investment.

"Chairman, Director Liu has something important to report to you."

"I see, make two cups of tea here."

Fang Ziheng nodded, waved to Liu Minghui behind him, pointed to the reception sofa and said, "Minghui, did you take down the Sogou browser?"

"Chairman, take it!"

Liu Minghui looked excited, came to the sofa area, put a folder on the coffee table and said.

After a while, Fang Rou brewed two cups of hot tea and came over.

Fang Ziheng came to the sofa area, sat down, put the folder on his lap and opened it, and said with a smile: "Just take it down, and tell me about the acquisition result."

"After four rounds of negotiations, the company finally acquired 6.8% of Sogou's shares from Sohu for 45 million soft sister coins."

"What other conditions did Director Zhang raise?"

"To mention only one, Sohu has invested in Hengyu Games."

After Liu Minghui finished speaking, he moved his body and opened the last page of the contract, which clearly marked the agreement between Hengyu and Sohu.

Hengyu Media acquired 6.8% of Sogou's shares with 45 million soft sister coins, becoming the second largest shareholder of the browser platform and having the right to operate the browser at the second level.

Sohu Company bought 5000% of the shares of Hengyu Game Company with 5 million soft sister coins, and participated in the maintenance and profit distribution of the two major games "PUBG Mobile" and "League of Legends".

In addition: Sohu is responsible for assisting Hengyu in the operation of its games (including publicity, e-sports competitions) and so on.

The division of responsibilities between the two companies is clear. Generally speaking, Hengyu Media suffered a small loss in the early stage.

Not only gave money, but also sold 5% of Hengyu Games' shares at a low price.

Fang Ziheng looked down a few times, smiled with satisfaction, patted Liu Minghui on the shoulder and praised: "Not bad, you did a good job!"

He knew in his heart that it seemed that Hengyu suffered a loss in the early stage, but in the long run, Hengyu Media made a lot of money.

The size of a browser may not be worth a few dollars alone.

But if coupled with the large entertainment industry, a series of businesses such as novels, videos, games, and new media will be filled in, and it will change instantly and become a big killer with extremely high user stickiness.

In 2014, He Xiaopengzi, the founder of UC, sold UC to Ali Group for 300 billion soft sister coins, earning a lot of money.

300 billion!

At that time, UC, whether it was content or traffic, was only slightly higher than Sogou, and it was already so direct.

It is foreseeable that after Hengyu Media completes the link with Sogou and transmits its business, 4G will arrive two years later, and the value of Sogou Browser will be higher than that of UC Browser.

At this time, Sogou’s total market value was about 15 billion soft sister coins. In addition to Hengyu’s large-scale merger and acquisition, Sohu also repurchased 10% of its shares from Ali.

Of course.

The most important point is that Zhang Chaoyang is not short of money, he is a fun guy.

After Sohu fell to the second echelon of the domestic Internet, Zhang Chaoyang entered the sage mode and started a life of lying and winning.

He wanted to play games, Fang Ziheng did as he wished, and it was only reasonable to win Sogou.

Later generations, Sogou has not been able to develop, not only because Sohu does not want to make progress, but also because Sohu's own traffic is not enough to drive Sogou forward.

In 2020, Sogou was even boycotted by major mobile phone manufacturers, and had to announce that it would stop serving and offline.

Haohao is a head browser, but it got weaker and weaker with time, and was forced to stop the service and go offline, and Lao Zhang is no longer there.

"Game life, Lao Zhang's life creed!"

Fang Ziheng muttered something softly, closed the folder, and leaned back on the sofa with a relaxed expression, feeling uncomfortable.

After drinking tea, he handed a signed letter to Liu Minghui and asked him to hand it over to Wang Xiaochuan, the founder of Sogou.

Inside the letter, he racked his brains for the past two days, recalling the new functions and functions compiled by the QQ and UC browsers of later generations.

Nine-level acceleration system.

【Start acceleration】

[Prefetch engine acceleration]

[dual-core acceleration]

[Flash Acceleration]

【High Speed ​​Download Technology】

【Education Network Acceleration】

【Network speed protection】

【Perfect anti-fake death】

Seven functional systems.

[Online shopping against counterfeiting]

【Private reading】

【Title Radar】

【Music Label】

【Word translation】

【Live Recording】

【Big Data Recommendation】

Nine poles of acceleration, seven functions.

Fang Ziheng doesn't understand the profession, but he just reproduced some nouns from memory, hoping to help Sogou.

As for what Sogou does with these terms, that's none of his business. He just needs to stop Sogou in time when it starts "Push-to-Talk download" so that it doesn't get boycotted by mobile phone manufacturers.

13 number.

Fang Ziheng led the team and brought the artists under Hengyu to the second phase of the Imperial Capital International Trade Center to participate in the first Weibo night.

After nearly two years of development, Weibo has more than 2000 million registered users, and the number of people online is approaching [-] million every day, and its valuation continues to rise.

The size of the event is not small, and it can support major events in the entertainment industry since the beginning of 2012.

The awards of the event are also voted by netizens online, focusing on online and offline interaction and the theme of national entertainment.

2 month 15 number.

Hengyu Media Group held a press conference.

At the meeting, Fang Ziheng announced Hengyu's top ten movie projects and top ten TV drama projects this year.

In addition to the six film projects in cooperation with major companies, four other independently produced films were also launched at the same time.

The posters of the ten movies were presented on the big screen at the press conference in turn.

"Four Famous 2" director Hao Yi, screenwriter Fang Ziheng, producer Lao Mouzi.

"Chinese Partner" director Lao Mouzi, screenwriter Fang Ziheng, producer Fang Ziheng,

"PUBG Mobile 1" (movie version), director Wu Jing, screenwriter Fang Ziheng, producer Fang Ziheng.

"National Security 1" (film version), directed by Wen Muye, screenwriter Fang Ziheng, and producer Wu Jing.

"Blooming Hearts" director Ning Hao, screenwriter Fang Ziheng, producer Xu Zheng.

"Master of Hypnotism" director Xu Zheng, screenwriter Fang Ziheng, producer Ning Hao.

"Predecessor Raiders 1" director Su Lun, screenwriter Fang Ziheng, producer Wen Muye.

"Left Ear" director Yu Feihong, screenwriter Fang Ziheng, producer Fang Ziheng.

"Donkey Gets Water" director Guo Fan, screenwriter Fang Ziheng, producer Su Lun.

"Drug Wars" director Lin Chao, screenwriter Fang Ziheng, producer Wu Jing.

Ten films, ten directors.

Hengyu has six contracted directors, each of whom has two jobs, both as a director and as a producer of another film.

Fang Ziheng is very proud. He supervised the production of three films by himself, four if "The Great Wall" is included.

However, he was not as busy as last year. Last year, he supervised six films by himself.

Although he only needs to participate in the precise editing of each film, it also consumes a lot of brain cells.

Hengyu Media Group's generosity also shocked the media reporters present.

Starting from one movie in 09, Hengyu's development has been stepping up every year, and the number of projects under its control has increased exponentially.

This is to catch all major movie schedules in one go!

Fang Ziheng answered a few questions from the reporter, handed over the press conference to the secretary of the board of directors, Mo Xiang, and brought ten directors to the conference hall of the hotel.

As soon as he came up, he set the tone for everyone.

"Everyone, starting today, the film you directed will be officially approved."

"Hengyu Media will fully support your filming, I only have one request, release it on time!"

"Three films are released in June, July, and August, one in September, one in October, and one in November.

"Two in December and two in January."

When the ten people heard this, they all fell silent, thinking about when the movie they directed would be released.

From a common sense point of view, movies with higher production costs must choose better schedules, such as being released in summer and Lunar New Year.

For the rest of the movies, choose National Autumn, Spring Festival and normal schedules.

Fang Ziheng didn't say it, but it doesn't mean they can't miss it. Everyone hopes that their movie will be a big hit.

After a while.

Lao Mouzi raised a question: "Director Fang, will ten movies be released within one year, will it be too late?"

"Yes, I always feel that there is a sense of our own people beating ourselves."

Wen Muye grumbled, and also thought it would be inappropriate to release it all this year.

Wu Jing, Su Lun, and Hao Yi also nodded, with worried expressions on their faces.

Guo Fan hesitated to speak, wanted to speak but dared not.

As the new director of the company, he has not yet proved his strength, and his status and voice cannot be compared with Wen Muye and the others.

Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, Yu Feihong, and Lin Chaoxian looked calm. They are Hengyu's co-directors, and they are more concerned about when their movie will be released.

They don't need to worry about Hengyu's internal problems.

Only Yu Feihong's eyes turned, and he cast a concerned look at Fang Ziheng, calm on the surface, but secretly worried in his heart.

Sister Yu is worried that Fang Ziheng is young and energetic, and he is on the road to great success.

"Don't worry about the release time, I will coordinate with China Film and major film and television companies."

Fang Ziheng smiled and waved his hands, exercising his rights as the big boss.

Afterwards, he let out a circle of cigarettes and explained to several confidant generals.

"What you don't know is that in the next two years, more capital will squeeze into the film industry. Barbaric capital will not care about the quality and standard of movies. What they want is to make money, and what they want is the benefits brought by the influence of movies. "

"When a large amount of capital pours in, the film market will expand rapidly, and the annual production will rise in a straight line.

In this way, there will inevitably be a bunch of bad movies, the audience will curse the street, and they will no longer trust domestic movies, and they will all go to foreign movies in the end. "

"Director, are you worrying too much?"

Hao Yi blinked and asked a stupid question.

In his view, the entry of a large amount of capital is a good thing, allowing more filmmakers to create more excellent works.

Compared with previous years, there is no other capital interested in the film market, so let the coal boss be the boss to show the limelight.

Lao Mouzi shook his head slowly, and said in a concentrated voice: "No, what Director Fang said is very possible. Too much uncontrollable capital will indeed bring disaster to the film market!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.

Lao Mouzi used the word disaster, which shows that he is very afraid of uncontrollable capital.

Savage capital is far more complex and destructive than they imagined.

At this time, Yu Feihong's beautiful eyes lit up, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Director Fang, what you mean is that you want to use the high-quality projects created by Hengyu to stabilize the atmosphere in the film market."

"Sister Yu is the one who knows me!"

Fang Ziheng gave her a thumbs up, his eyes focused, and he said confidently and firmly: "Hengyu Media intends to use each high-quality film to set up a benchmark and standard for the entire industry, and declare to all filmmakers in Huaguo that the only way to make a good film That's the right way.

We want to tell the capital pouring in from the outside world that it is nothing to be rich, and the bad movies they invest in will be the fate of the street!
At the same time, we need to let hundreds of millions of viewers know that because of Hengyu Media, domestic films will never be defeated by Hollywood blockbusters, never! "

Fang Ziheng's words were resounding, with an aura of going forward bravely and clearing the way for Chinese-language movies, it went straight to the hearts of everyone.

Wen Muye, Hao Yi, and Guo Fan felt their scalps tingle and their blood boiled. They wished they could bring their movie to a fight with Hollywood blockbusters.
