Entertainment, I only like to make movies

Chapter 326 I have a big appetite, so I have to spit it out!

2013, June 1.

Ten days before the release of "The Great Wall", Hengyu Media and China Film Group took over the promotion and launched a large-scale bombardment.

In a few days, college students and high school students will be on vacation and officially enter the Spring Festival schedule.

As the promotional campaign of "The Great Wall" is getting bigger and bigger, and a series of attractive trailers are released, the mood of movie fans and audiences is gradually raised.

1 month 20 number.

At 08:30 in the evening, "The Great Wall" released the ultimate trailer.

On Fang Ziheng's Weibo and the "Great Wall" movie official blog, countless fans flocked over and clicked on the video immediately.

Weibo specially opened up the video barrage, so that everyone can watch the trailer and speak freely.

"Here it comes, the ultimate notice, it sounds like a big scene."

"Dang dong, dong dong, the movie will be released in 5 days, I will tell everyone secretly that I have already grabbed two tickets to the 3D theater, and I am going to take the girlfriend I just talked to last week to watch the movie together."

"The coordinates are in Dalian, three kilometers away from Wanda International Cinemas. I waited in line for half a day to get a 2D ticket."

"The enthusiasm of the people in the imperial capital is so high that I have been queuing for two consecutive days without getting a ticket."

"You are all behind the times. Hengyu Media has released a new ticket grabbing app, which can start real-time ticket purchase activities. If you succeed in grabbing tickets, you can go directly to the theater to collect tickets without queuing."

"Fuck, there's this kind of APP, where can I download it, buddy!"

"Mobile app store!"

Just when everyone opened the barrage chat, the 10-second advertisement was played, and the ultimate trailer debuted.

In the video, a super wide-angle lens appears.

Mobei.

The sky and the sky are integrated, the snow is vast, and there are no people in the thousands of miles.

The camera moved forward, and in a vast snow-covered forest, there were a few strange screams suddenly.

Boom
There was a tidy sound of kicking from the ground, covering the sky and covering the ground, as if the land was falling apart.

In an instant, the picture changed from extremely still to extremely dynamic.

The whole forest seemed to come alive, and the tall trees covered in ice and snow trembled repeatedly.

The snow is falling, and the snow and fog are flying.

In just a few seconds, the sky and the earth in the picture were covered by the flying snow, and an unprecedented crisis rushed into the hearts of the audience.

I'm going!

What the hell is in the woods, so scary.

Boom. Boom.
As the sound of footsteps became louder and louder, the snowflakes were imperceptibly impacted, tumbling violently, and coming straight to the silver screen.

"Ow!"

A loud and deep cry came.

"Hoo hoo..."

"Hoo hoo..."

One, two, three.

The strange roar of the beast spread into the ears of the audience, which made people's scalps tingle.

In the next second, several black dots appeared.

what is that?
Is it the alien beast described in the movie?

The audience approached the computer and mobile phone screens in front of them, staring at the black dots with wide-eyed eyes.

"Woohoo."

Alien beasts, really alien beasts.

A few unknown beasts as strong as oxen showed their true faces. They are powerful in size, lifelike in appearance, fast as lightning while running, and ferocious.

Behind a few strange beasts, there are countless wild beasts, jackals, wolves, tigers, leopards, cows, sheep, horses, and deer.

All kinds of mutated beasts appeared in everyone's sight.

then
The army of alien beasts rushed out of the forest like a rushing river, rushing towards the west.

The camera followed immediately, and at the deepest part of the camera's line of sight, a hundred miles away, a small town with howling wind and snow appeared.

In the town, there are hundreds of people living in the style of the Western Regions.

On the road at the other end of the town, waves of caravans came to rest, preparing to go to the next destination, Tianque City.

With a flash of the camera, the army of alien beasts rushed into the town without any scruples, biting anyone they saw, men, women, children and children.

In a few moments, there was no one alive in the whole town.

After being baptized by blood, the strange beast became even crazier.

Under the leadership of several leaders, the army of alien beasts swept along the corridors of the Western Regions. Residents, caravans, and tribute envoys from various countries along the way all suffered, leaving a place of corpses.

shit
So brutal!

Countless viewers watched with horror, and couldn't help cursing their mothers in front of the screen.

Only a few people escaped into Tianque City to survive!
"kill!"

"Come on, kill!"

The camera came to the outside of Tianque City, the Tang army attacked, and the hard steel alien beasts frantically slaughtered mercilessly.

on the screen.

Datang's elite soldiers fought in teams of three or five.

One person stabs first with a spear, the other hooks with a spear, and finally fights at close range. The three hold Tang Dao and chop with all their strength.

The alien beasts were ferocious, and Datang's army was even more ferocious. The fighting power displayed made everyone's blood boil with excitement.

Except for the confrontation at the beginning, it was almost a one-sided massacre.

The alien beast, which was so awesome just now, finally encountered a tough stubble. Facing the overall coordinated operations of the Datang army, no matter how arrogant it was, it was useless.

The trailer lasted for a full minute. In the end, the alien beast was terrified of being killed, leaving the corpses of countless companions and fleeing.

After watching the trailer, all the audience were dumbfounded.

I don't know how to evaluate for a while!
good looking.

It's really nice.

But, this is not like Fang Ziheng's style!

When did this old six become so generous, releasing a full 1-minute trailer.

The previous movie trailer was only about 20 seconds at most.

what's the situation?
With doubts in their hearts, everyone did not leave in time, but continued to send barrage chats.

"I'll rub it, 1 minute, Fang Ziheng is long enough today, can't he take medicine?"

"Brothers, what do you think?"

"I still want to see it!"

"I want to watch it too. I want to watch the plot where the Tang army kills through the army of alien beasts and wipes them all out."

"Hiss, Fang Lao Liu did it on purpose."

"It must be intentional, just to whet our appetite!"

"I heard that "The Great Wall" has several battle scenes, so this is the only one released."

"It must be supported. I like to watch the Chinese army torture and kill aliens."

"Okay, alien beasts are also alien races, fuck them!"

"Stop talking, I'm going to read the preview."

"Together, I watched too much just now, and didn't think about the quality of the picture."

"I'm going to find out if Fang Ziheng has appeared in the scene. I can't believe what this guy says. If he says he won't act, he might sneak into the battle."

"I saw Da Tiantian, she's a heroine, she's so beautiful!"

The ultimate trailer of "The Great Wall" sparked endless discussions on the Internet.

The volume of the video is huge, and it has been talked about by many people who eat melons, and Fang Ziheng has been praised a lot.

Soon, the trailer became the top trending search on Weibo.

The news continued to spread and was pushed to the major film and television companies.

Huayi Headquarters.

Huang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei, Feng Trousers, and Chen Guofu surrounded a laptop and carefully watched the "Great Wall" trailer several times.

"Oh, judging from the trailer, "The Great Wall" will be another hit movie, Fang Ziheng is invincible!"

Wang Zhongjun sighed, watching the three generals make a faint sound.

Chen Guofu looked shocked, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, Fang Ziheng is the only one who has the guts to play like this and release a whole episode at once as a gimmick."

Wang Zhonglei wanted to stop talking, glanced at Feng's trousers with a heavy complexion, lit a cigarette and took a deep puff.

Several people watched the trailer of "The Great Wall" together, naturally not out of gossip mentality, but wanted to know the standard of the movie in advance.

Seriously, they are assessing the popularity potential of "The Great Wall" and then calculating the promotional budget for "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West Conquering the Demons", although Hengyu Media won the distribution rights, but Hua Yi is the producer of the film after all.

Huayi wants to rely on this movie to push the stock price back to a market value of 600 billion.

Wang Zhongjun even made up his mind to skip Hengyu Media and promote "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" in advance to build momentum for the movie.

In this way, the promotional resources of Huayi and Hengyu Media will inevitably collide during the release of "The Great Wall".

Even, it will offend China Film Group and Wanda Film and Television.

But these are not important, the stock price of Huayi is the most critical.

As long as the total box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" meets expectations, offenders will be offended. Wang Zhongjun is not a person who is afraid of trouble.

Be afraid, be afraid, "The Great Wall" is fierce.

Fang Ziheng has another invincible hand in pushing the Spring Festival stalls, achieving a double harvest at the box office and word of mouth.

In this case, "Journey to the West Conquering the Demons" will not only be hindered in terms of publicity, but will also have a major impact on the number of films after it is released.

After all, the two films were only released 12 days apart.

Hengyu Media's publicity resources must be given priority to "The Great Wall", and the rest will be devoted to "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

Wang Zhongjun didn't want to see this kind of result.

Originally, he was in a good mood because of the big sale of "Zodiac", but now he frowned and remained indifferent.

Compared with the stock prices of Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei, and Chen Guofu's Shangxin Company, Feng Pants is much purer.

He is the director, watching the trailer is more to understand the filming technique, screen concept and plot layout of the "Great Wall" movie.

Know yourself and the enemy, and you will be safe in a hundred battles!
In Feng Trouser's heart, Fang Ziheng, who is also the director, has long been regarded as the number one opponent.

Among the few, he is the most professional in terms of film, and Chen Guofu, the gold medal producer, can't compare to him.

After thinking for a while, he gave the movie a preliminary review.

"Zhongjun, "The Great Wall" has great potential, and with Fang Ziheng's accumulated appeal, the total box office is definitely at the level of 10 billion.

If the stamina is sufficient, Hengyu will definitely increase the promotion of the film, thereby reducing the publicity budget for "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". "

"We, Huayi, have to be prepared to take over the promotion of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"."

Feng Pants looked dignified and his tone was firm, giving his advice from the director's perspective.

Chen Guofu watched the trailer again, and said with a bit of envy: "In terms of momentum alone, this movie is unrivaled in the genre of ancient costumes, even Zhang Yimou's "Heroes" is not as good. "

"Wang Dong, where is the premiere of the movie, I want to go and see it myself."

"The Great Hall of the People."

Wang Zhongjun narrowed his eyes, opened the drawer, took out an invitation letter and threw it on the desk, and said in a deep voice, "Forget it, the four of us will go there together to see this super blockbuster movie known as the Great Tang Dynasty!"

in the afternoon.

Alibaba headquarters.

Hangcheng Ma woke up from his lunch break, walked out of the lounge and went to the office area outside.

Just as he turned on the computer, he heard a knock on the door.

The secretary came in, made tea for him, and said, "Chairman, Director Shao is here, and I have something to report to you."

"Oh, Xiaoli is here."

Hangcheng Ma looked surprised, looked at the time and nodded to the secretary.

After a while, Shao Xiaoli, the secretary-general of Alibaba's board of directors and chairman of the board of directors of Alibaba Pictures Group, strode in.

"Chairman, excuse me for your lunch break."

"You came 10 minutes earlier, I still haven't woken up."

Hangcheng Ma Le chuckled, pointed to the reception sofa and asked Shao Xiaoli to take a seat.

He himself also picked up the freshly brewed teacup and walked over.

After the two were seated, Shao Xiaoli reported important matters without delay.

"Chairman, Ali Pictures has already prepared the relevant matters, and can set up a large entertainment business group at any time. Please specify a date to attend the celebration."

"The speed is good. It seems that you, Lao Shao, have put in a lot of effort during this time."

Hang Chengma was slightly taken aback, and a gratified smile appeared on his resolute face.

"The chairman, I'm just a leader. Zhang Qiang, Zhang Wei, and Gu Yong are the ones who really do the work."

Shao Xiaoli shook his head lightly, instead of taking the credit, he gave the credit to the people below.

He is very clear that serving as the chairman of the board of directors of Alibaba Pictures Group is just too much, just sitting in charge for a while.

After the big entertainment business group is established, he has to go back to Ali's headquarters, which is the place to show off.

Then, Shao Xiaoli reported some details about the entertainment business group.

Hang Chengma listened to the report while swiping his phone.

suddenly
He saw the trailer of "The Great Wall" which was on Weibo's hot search.

He suddenly got up, went back to his desk and picked up a gold-red invitation letter, smiled and said: "This is an invitation letter from Wanda Film and Television. They invited me to the premiere of "The Great Wall". I have something to do." If you can’t go, you can support me on your behalf.”

"Okay, Chairman."

Shao Xiaoli responded straight away, with a calm expression, and didn't ask why Mr. Ma, you still have something to do at night.

He knew that Hangcheng Ma must have something to explain to him.

He guessed right, Hangcheng Ma did have something important to ask him, the Secretary General of the Alibaba Board of Directors, to come forward.

"Xiao Li, go and find a chance to chat with Fang Ziheng, this guy is too boring, he is almost covering up UC's shares."

Hearing Hangcheng Ma's complaints, Shao Xiaoli smiled lightly, remembering a funny joke circulating in Ali's headquarters these days.

Ali's strategic investment department has been shut down by Hengyu Media six times in a row, and came back in despair without even seeing Fang Ziheng's people.

In addition, Cai Chongxin, the executive vice chairman of Ali's board of directors who has never failed, was also rejected by Fang Ziheng several times in person. Ali's plan to acquire UC Browser.

Fang Ziheng killed 200 billion Ruanmei coins in one bite, and would not sell any less, which made people itch with hatred.

Hangcheng Ma asked him, a close person, to come forward, mainly to show his attitude and tell Fang Ziheng that Ali's patience is limited.

Don't keep being so reserved, it's almost enough.

Just from Hangcheng Ma's complaints, Shao Xiaoli understood the meaning behind it.

And Ali's exhausted patience also further illustrates the importance of UC Browser to Alibaba.

Fang Ziheng really got Ali in his hands.

Shao Xiaoli pondered for a few seconds, then lowered his voice and said, "Chairman, Fang Ziheng is not a simple character. I guess he has already seen the importance of UC to Ali, so he is up for sale."

"How much do you think we should pay?"

What he said was to vaguely remind Fang Ziheng that his appetite was too great.

200 billion is really a bit expensive!

Hang Chengma and others instantly understood Shao Xiaoli's thoughts.

He smiled confidently, picked up the tea and took two sips, then put down the teacup heavily, revealing the true colors of a madman.

"Oh how much?"

"Remember, Xiaoli, no matter how big Fang Ziheng's appetite is, he can't beat Alibaba. Just talk, Ali has plenty of money!"

"No matter how Hengyu Media develops, the future will always depend on Alibaba's face. How much Fang Ziheng swallowed today, he will have to spit it out twice as much in the future!"

The arrogant words came out of Hangcheng Ma's mouth, as if it was a matter of course and a wise saying.

A trace of admiration flashed across Shao Xiaoli's face, he stood up and said solemnly: "I understand the chairman, don't worry, I will definitely win Fang Ziheng this time!"

On January 1th, under the eyes of all.

"The Great Wall" held its world premiere ceremony in the Great Hall of the People.

It was just after three o'clock in the afternoon.

More than 2800 people from all over the country, including fans, celebrities, film circles, film critics, and media reporters, gathered in the Great Hall of the People.

With anticipation, everyone is ready to watch this costume war blockbuster costing 1.5 million US dollars and the largest investment in Chinese film and television.
