Entertainment, I only like to make movies

Chapter 295 Ali Can't Be Messed With!
Wang Zhongjun's puzzlement also haunted Wang Changtian and Li Ziming.

The three belong to traditional filmmakers. They are very good at producing and distributing films, and they also have a lot of experience.

But they are blind to the pan-entertainment path taken by Tengxun, Ali, and Baidu.

When the three companies looked at the dazzling operations, they were at a loss.

The three of them were curious and looked at Fang Ziheng expectantly, hoping that he could clarify the confusion.

"Film and TV IP is just one of them."

"As domestic people's demand for cultural products has increased in recent years, in addition to the booming development of movies, TV dramas, and variety shows, many animations, online novels, and games have also ushered in new developments!"

As a company that started from social platforms and games, Tengxun will naturally not let go of these areas.

There are four main categories of business in the Tengxun Entertainment sector, namely Tengxun Games, Tengxun Animation, Tengxun Literature and Tengxun Pictures.

I don’t need to say more about the game, the literature section, animation, and film and television sections are the focus of Tengxun’s development in the future! "

"Literature is the source of creation. With these novel websites, Teng Xun has endless resources, whether it is developing games, film and television dramas, or animations, he is familiar with it.

With Tengxun's leading position on the social platform, even if it is flooded with huge traffic, it can create a series of hot IPs! "

Fang Ziheng faded out, revealing Teng Xun's layout in the field of entertainment.

At the beginning of this year, Tengxun Animation was established, and then launched a large-scale copyright cooperation with Xiaori Shueisha, and won the online copyright of 11 classic comics.

The exclusively introduced manga works include "Naruto", "One Piece" and "Saint Seiya", which laid the foundation for the development of Tengxun's animation industry.

This time Tengxun won many novel websites, not just to get through the film and television IP link, they want to get through all the channels of pan-entertainment.

With popular novel IPs, various peripheral industries such as games, film and television, animation, and novel publishing are developed.

After hearing Fang Ziheng's popular science, the three of them suddenly realized.

Wang Changtian pushed his glasses, revealing a trace of the original expression: "Looking at it this way, the route taken by Tengxun, Ali, and Baidu is very similar to Fang Dong's Hengyu Media!"

"The business that the three companies have, Hengyu Media Group has, and the business that the three do not have, Hengyu Media Group also has."

"Movies, TV dramas, variety shows, games, novels, video sites, special effects companies, theaters, artist brokers, all industries related to entertainment, Hengyu Media owns them all."

Wang Changtian said while counting with his fingers.

I don't know, I was taken aback.

When they were still lamenting the arrogance of the three Internet hooligans, Fang Ziheng unknowingly invested in so many businesses, completely opened up Tengxun, and Ali created a pan-entertainment industry circle.

Upon hearing these words, Wang Zhongjun and Li Ziming blinked their eyes twice, unable to regain their senses for a long time.

Damn it.

The true God was by their side!

Novel IP incubation, film and television production, publicity and distribution, video playback, game special effects, and Hengyu are really all there.

What's even more frightening is that Hengyu has made these projects top-notch in the industry, and the achievements they have achieved are beyond the reach of traditional film and television companies like them.

Wang Zhongjun stroked his chin, looked at Fang Ziheng with a new look, and said in a probing tone: "Fang Dong, Hengyu Media has taken too many routes.

It's not that my brother is talking too much, there are so many fields, how can a company have so much energy to take care of them. "

In his heart, he had already made a small calculation.

He was thinking, should the Hua Yi Brothers also make a move and invest in one or two novel websites for fun.

Forget about video sites, they are too expensive!

Fang Ziheng didn't know what Wang Zhongjun was thinking about, so he shook his head with a smile and said, "Hengyu is mainly engaged in the three major sectors of movies, TV dramas, and variety shows. The other businesses are small businesses, selling peripherals to earn some pocket money."

pocket money!
Thank you for saying it!

It’s true that we don’t know the situation of Tudou Video, Qidian Chinese Website, and Hengyu Games, right?

Wang Zhongjun and Wang Changtian rolled their eyes violently, wanting to kick him twice.

They have seen Fang Ziheng's pretense before, but this is the first time they have seen Fang Ziheng's pretense.

The topic said this, so naturally it couldn't go on.

Li Ziming pointed to the lounge and invited a few people to sit there for a while. He was the oldest and couldn't bear the calf standing and chatting all the time.

Immediately, the four of them came to the lounge, lit a cigarette and continued talking.

Li Ziming remembered that a few days ago, Liu Debing, the person in charge of Baoliwanhe Cinemas, reported to him the recent business, one of which was related to Hengyu Media.

"Fang Dong, I suddenly remembered that you recently established a company."

"Dong Li said Big Dipper Publishing Company, right?" Fang Ziheng smiled, and took the initiative to take the topic away.

"That's right, it's the Big Dipper!"

Li Ziming took a sharp puff of his cigarette, gave a thumbs up and said in admiration, "Fang Dong is so courageous. He established a distribution company with the four major theaters and controlled 25% of the country's theaters in one fell swoop."

The reason why he said this was because Liu Debing reported to him that Hengyu held a major shareholder position in Big Dipper Distribution Company, and handed over the distribution rights of two films to this company.

However, because the four theater chains did not participate in the film production, the newly established Big Dipper Distribution Company had to rely on Hengyu Media to deliver film projects in the early stage.

In this way, Hengyu monopolizes the power and easily owns a national peer publishing company.

If the Big Dipper develops in the future, it will be enough to release more than ten movies a year, and the four theaters can follow suit to make money.

If it doesn't develop, it's over.

The new company has become a subsidiary of Hengyu Media, and the four theaters have also become part-time jobs for Fang Ziheng!

At that time, Hengyu will send a few movies over every year, so as to sign a low-price distribution ratio, and only pay a small part of the profit, and can call on the four major theaters to increase the number of movies.

Li Ziming only realized the situation after listening to Liu Debing's detailed report.

He can't directly point out the problem, so he can only ask Liu Debing to build a good relationship with Fang Ziheng, and make every effort to develop the Big Dipper, and build the reputation of this distribution company, so as to attract many producers in the circle to release film projects every year.

Old fox!
The old paper has divided the distribution benefits of the two films, and it is still not satisfied.

Seeing Li Ziming's expression, Fang Ziheng guessed that the other party meant something.

"Don't worry, Director Li, Big Dipper is committed to promoting more excellent film projects, and it is not a distribution company of a certain person."

"In the future, in addition to Hengyu Media's films, Big Dipper will contact other film producers in the industry to help them promote their films to theaters across the country."

"Haha, that's good, I'll wait for the day when the Big Dipper's reputation will be greatly shaken."

Li Ziming made a haha, and silently skipped the topic.

Fang Ziheng and Hengyu Media are not what they used to be. Even if he is the deputy director of Baoli Group in charge of the film and television industry, he can only greet each other with a smile on his face, and cannot easily manipulate each other.

It was Wang Zhongjun and Wang Changtian who watched the play silently, thinking that Fang Ziheng had finally done something stupid.

They actually handed over the distribution profits of the two films, generously handing out tens of millions of banknotes.

The total box office of "Predecessor Raiders" is at least 3.8 million. Based on 10% of the distribution, it has at least 3000 million distribution profits.

Another "National Security 1", this movie is boosted by three linked TV series, the total box office is probably higher than "Predecessor Raiders", and the distribution profit is at least 4000 million.

Fang Ziheng opened his mouth and gave out 7000 million profits directly.

Enough atmosphere, but also enough stupid!

The corners of the mouths of the two raised, and their moods were visibly relieved.

Fang Ziheng's eyes drooped slightly, he didn't care about the reaction of the two of them at all, he was so stupid as to look at the future.

It's only 7000 million, he can afford it.

As long as the four theater chains and the Hengyu Alliance can be stabilized, it doesn't matter if they give out 7000 million a year.

No matter how awesome you Wang Zhongjun is, you still have to bow to the theaters and take the initiative to increase the ratio of the theaters' bills, so that the theaters can increase the number of movies released by Huayi.

Seven o'clock in the evening.

At the beginning of the premiere, Lin Chaoxian took Zhang Yi, Wang Ou, Gu Tianle, Guo Tao and several film creators to the stage.

As the host stirred up the atmosphere, Fang Ziheng and Li Ziming also came on stage and said a few words.

Both "Drug Wars" and "National Security 1" are invested by Baoli Group, and Li Ziming is one of the producers of the two films.

Both films involve shootouts that also require police assistance.

Baoli's brand is strong, and with Baoli's help, the film has hardly encountered any problems from project approval to filming and release.

"Director Lin is a senior director I admire very much, he has unique insights and arrangements in presenting movie gunfights.

I have watched "Drug Wars" in advance, and I can tell you responsibly that this is a thrilling police and gangster shootout movie that can stand scrutiny! "

Fang Ziheng boasted about Lin Chaoxian and "Drug Wars" with a blow, and finally returned to his seat full of satisfaction.

At 07:30, the movie was shown on time.

The opening of the movie is different from the original version. Instead of showing the scene of human movement DU in the first place, the perspective is given to Gu Tianle.

At the beginning of the new version of "Drug Wars", Gu Tianle's DU factory had a problem and a big explosion occurred. He escaped by driving a vehicle.

After receiving the report, the police rushed to the scene of the explosion.

In the second act, there was a bus on the highway, a criminal gang full of human bodies.

The anti-drug captain played by Zhang Yi received a text message, and the team told him that there was an explosion in a factory, which was suspected to be a drug manufacturing factory.

Just when Zhang Yi frowned and thought, the bus came to the toll booth, and the criminal leader jumped out of the bus and fled when he saw that the situation was not good.

The police have already laid a net to arrest all criminals.

In the hospital, Zhang Yi accidentally saw Gu Tianle who had crashed into a car. His professional instinct allowed him to see the rotten scars on the other party's face.

It's a DU dealer!
Since then, the two lines have converged, not only explaining the antecedents, but also laying out the subsequent plot.

After Fang Ziheng's intensive editing, the suspenseful atmosphere of "Drug Wars" has been improved by a higher schedule, and the gun battle scenes have also become several levels more grand.

The production cost of the original version was less than 2000 million, and the investment of this version is 5000 million, which can completely arrange a large-scale shootout.

The ending of the movie has also been changed accordingly.

Without the original dog blood, the police paid a certain sacrifice and dispatched special police to kill all DUs with a thunderous force.

The plot of the original version is too shoddy, just like Hong Kong Island gangster movies.

In the mainland, rampant DU traffickers cannot be tolerated, no matter how arrogant and powerful criminal gangs are, once caught by the police, they will have to rush to the street.

.........

Two hours later, the movie was over.

In the screening hall, the audience breathed a sigh of relief, immersed in the exciting gun battle of the movie and couldn't extricate themselves.

"It's so hot, the last Long Street shootout is a stroke of genius!"

"It's amazing my brother, I never imagined that mainland China can also shoot fierce gun battles that are not lost to Hong Kong Island movies!"

"Have you noticed that "Drug Wars" is more reasonable than Hong Kong Island movies? After a round of bullets, both the police and DU dealers have to change the bullets!"

"It should be filmed according to real logic. Hong Kong Island police and gangster films are unreasonable. A pistol fires dozens of bullets, and ghosts will be afraid of seeing it!"

Accompanied by endless applause, the audience also started talking, and they were very satisfied with tonight's visual feast.

on the first row of seats.

Lin Chaoxian got up slowly, and secretly clenched his fists.

The audience's reaction gave him hope.

With "Drug Wars", he will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold in the mainland film industry and even go further.

This hope was brought to him by the young people beside him.

Lin Chaoxian turned around, looked at Fang Ziheng, and solemnly thanked: "Fang Dong, thank you for giving me the opportunity."

"Director Lin is too polite, I am a win-win cooperation."

Fang Ziheng waved his hand and said with a smile on his face, "The movie was shot very well. With an investment of 5000 million, it has produced a production level of hundreds of millions. I believe it will not be long before I will hold a celebration banquet for Director Lin."

Lin Chaoxian smiled, and he also hoped that, as Fang Ziheng said, he would hold a box office celebration banquet for the movie he directed.

"Director Fang, how much box office do you think the movie can make."

At this time, Zhang Yi, Wang Ou, and Gu Tianle came to the front. Wang Ou's winking eyes stared at Fang Ziheng and asked crisply.

"Five hundred million!"

Fang Ziheng flipped his palms and said with a smile: "My bottom line for "Drug Wars" is [-] million. If it doesn't reach [-] million, it means that the box office appeal of your starring roles is not enough!"

hiss..
Several people held their breath and looked at each other.

Five hundred million!

A number that is not high, but by no means low.

Looking around today, any movie that can break [-] million is famous.

Can "Drug Wars" really break [-] million?
Not only Zhang Yi, Wang Ou, and Gu Tianle, but the director Lin Chaoxian is also very active, and he looks forward to the movie even more.

As for the fact that they couldn't break [-] million because they were the leading actors, they didn't accept it and automatically filtered it as a joke.

After the premiere.

As usual, Hengyu Media arranged a dinner in a nearby hotel to thank the guests who came to join us.

Fang Ziheng had a few drinks, chatted with Lin Chao for a long time, and invited him to join Hengyu Media.

Lin Chaoxian was a little moved, and he stopped the idea of ​​joining Hengyu, saying that he would wait until the box office of the movie came out before watching it.

However, he patted his chest and expressed his position, saying that he was definitely not waiting for a price, but hoped to join Hengyu in a decent way.

He is from Hong Kong Island, and he hopes to announce his arrival to the mainland through a movie first.

This kind of psychology, Fang Ziheng Dong!
Just like Xu Ke who filmed "Di Renjie: The Empire of Heaven", Lin Chaoxian, like his mentor, also has a sense of pride.

I always feel that when I come to the mainland for the first time, if I don't prove my worth, I will be weaker than the mainlanders.

"Well, I'll wait for Director Lin's reply on the day of the celebration banquet."

Fang Ziheng smiled understandingly, had a drink with Lin Chaoxian, and then ended the dinner trip.

Lin Chaoxian is a master director of shootout films, and he is an indispensable one in Hengyu Media's directorial map.

Fang Ziheng is very optimistic about Lin Chaoxian, hoping that he can replace him in filming gunfight movies.

It's okay to wait, give the other party a step and a buffer period.

Alibaba Pictures Headquarters!

executive meeting.

Zhang Qiang's face was solemn, and he was holding a copy of "Drug War"'s zero-point box office and first-day box office data.

On his left and right sides, sat Zhang Wei, Guyong, and Deng Kangming.

In front of the three of them, one of them had a high-end laptop computer, and was browsing the media and audience reports and comments on "Drug Wars".

Reports on the Internet are almost unanimously positive.

If nothing else, "Drug Wars" will be another small blockbuster movie with a big impact.

Everyone of Zhang Wei and the others understand what they are thinking, and they want to stop Hengyu's new movie.

But Zhang Qiang had a different idea. He put down the A4 paper data sheet, nodded his fingers, and said in a low voice: "The box office at zero point is 460 million, and the box office on the first day is 4500 million!"

"Three, I think it is necessary to remind that one of the producers of "Drug Wars" is Baoli Group.

We, Ali Pictures, can't afford to mess with this company! "
