Entertainment, I only like to make movies

Chapter 437
4 month 10 number.

After attending the opening ceremony of Boao Economic Forum, Fang Ziheng boarded the plane directly from Sanya and flew to Jinling after two days of four meetings on the 8th and 9th.

There are two biggest gains from this trip.

First: At the first dinner on the evening of the [-]th, Fang Ziheng had the honor to sit at the table with the head of the central bank and chatted about Hengyu's payment.

Hengyu Payment is about to pass the review in the near future, and it will be put into operation within half a year to a year. If it develops rapidly, it can be upgraded from a regional payment license to a national payment license depending on the situation.

The head of the central bank also reminded Fang Ziheng that if you want to develop online payment, you must have cloud computing in your hands to protect the property safety of the general public.

The reminder from experts in the financial field may seem like a sentence or two, but Fang Ziheng's heart is shocked, and his field of vision is higher and farther.

Second: Through the film, media, and cultural industry roundtable meeting held on the morning of the 9th, Hengyu Media has established itself as the No. [-] private enterprise in the true sense.

As the only private film and television company invited, Fang Ziheng made a speech as an international director and the chairman of Hengyu Media, and described the prospects and future of Huaguo's film and television industry, media industry, and entertainment industry to more than 50 countries.

Many people sitting beside Fang Ziheng have also changed from Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian and others to the heads of radio and TV stations in various provinces.

This kind of treatment is not even available in the previous Huayi Wang Zhongjun, which shows Fang Ziheng's current status in the field of film and television in Huaguo.

4 month 12 number.

After staying in Jinling for one day, the crew of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" boarded a chartered flight to India.

Going abroad this time is naturally the plot of buying medicine in India in the movie.

Fang Ziheng chose Dharavi, Mumbai, the largest slum in Asia and the second largest in the world.

In Mumbai, India, there are nearly 2000 large and small slums, and Dharavi is the largest one.

The total area is only 1.75 square kilometers, but the number of residents has reached millions.

Fang Ziheng hopes to show the audience an extremely real India, and let the Chinese people understand the situation of their neighbors' homes.

In order to better present the details of the movie, the crew did not block the road during the entire shooting process of the Indian location, but took the method of candid shooting throughout the whole process.

on the plane.

Fang Ziheng was sitting in the business class, with his head resting on the chair, tilted slightly, looking like a gentleman.

Fang Rou sat behind him in a professional suit, holding a document in her hand and reporting in a low voice.

"Tengxun has brought in funds, a total of 33.35 billion, and the 50 billion repurchased by the group has also been in place. The private placement was completed yesterday afternoon, and the group controls 58.3% of the shares."

"What about the stock price? Is it still falling?" Fang Ziheng nodded and asked.

After the private placement is launched after listing, the stock price will generally fluctuate, and most stocks will fall after increasing the number of shares.

Hengyu Interactive Entertainment is no exception.

Before Tengxun’s capital injection, the stock price of Hengyu Interactive Entertainment rose from 43.2 yuan on the first day to 83.375 yuan, with a total market value of 667 billion.

On the second day after the capital injection, Hengyu's stock price fell by 15%, from 83.375 yuan to 70.869 yuan.

On the third day, that is, yesterday, the stock price fell to 65.654 yuan again.

"It is now stable. Before boarding, the stock price was 62.24 yuan, with a total market value of 995.84 billion!"

Fang Rou raised the corners of her mouth and said happily.

The total share capital of Hengyu Interactive Entertainment has increased from 16 million shares to [-] billion shares, and the market value has skyrocketed again, approaching [-] billion, instantly throwing Huayi away.

If the stock price can be stabilized in the next month, and wait for the summer holidays to come, then Hengyu Interactive Entertainment will really be stable!

To be honest, if Fang Ziheng hadn't been a man in two lifetimes, Fang Ziheng's mood would probably be crazy with excitement.

It took five years to build a [-] billion media empire in my own hands.

Even now, sitting on the plane, he still felt a little smug, thankful that he chose his old job in this life.

After five years of strong output, the Chinese film and television industry in this life has changed a lot compared to the previous life.

The most intuitive feeling is that the audience's taste for movies has improved, and the number of high-quality TV series has increased.

Although the film and television industry is about to enter the era of IP and traffic, the entertainment industry has one more Hengyu Media who is obsessed with high-quality content, and a group of lovely people who sincerely promote Chinese movies.

And the leader of all this is him, Fang Ziheng!
You can allow him to float for a while!
"Xiaorou, does the group have any news about Huayi Brothers and Tengxun Pictures?"

"some."

Hearing Fang Ziheng's question, Fang Rou turned to the last page of the document and said in a concentrated voice: "The news from the President's Office at 4 o'clock last night said that Tengxun Films will establish a large entertainment group on April 15th. Representative Xiang Wan Hengyu Huyu went to participate."

"In addition, Huayi Brothers is planning to set up a joint distribution company. At present, there are three theaters that are interested in Dadi Cinema, Oscar Cinema under Henan Culture Film and Television Group, and Bona International Cinema!"

"Oh, when did Yu Dong and Wang Zhongjun get so close?"

Fang Ziheng's eyes were surprised, he sat up suddenly, took the document and read it in detail.

According to the news, besides motivating the three theaters, Wang Zhongjun also tried to find cooperation with the soon-to-be-established Tengxun Entertainment Group.

Tengxun has micro-tickets, which can enhance the ticket purchase business of the joint issuing company and improve the publicity and distribution capabilities.

After a little thought, Fang Ziheng guessed the reason why Bona cooperated with Huayi.

Yu Dong is definitely an ambitious person!

Cooperating with Huayi, at least you don't have to worry about being Wang Zhongjun's younger brother.

Previously, Fang Ziheng offered an olive branch to Yu Dong, inviting Bona to join the Big Dipper, and also agreed to share in Hengyu Interactive Entertainment.

Yu Dong said yes, but he never acted.

Compared with the glamorous Wang Changtian, Yu Dong's temperament is more stubborn, and the project cooperation premium is acceptable, but the group's in-depth cooperation is not.

Well, let him go!
Shaking his head, Fang Ziheng ignored the matter and didn't think about it.

Huayi established a joint distribution company, as in the previous life, it seemed to be called Kyushu Distribution, and later changed to Huaying Tianxia.

However, the previous Huayi cooperated with Moying and Alibaba Pictures.

Unexpectedly, in this life, Wang Zhongjun released the pigeons of Malaysia and instead sought cooperation from Teng Xun.

Fun, fun!
Thinking of this, Fang Ziheng's heart moved, and Fang Rou confessed: "You go back to contact Andy and ask her to have an appointment with the person in charge of Guangliang, Wanda Film and Television, and Xingmei Cinemas, and discuss the matter of holding shares in Hengyu Interactive Entertainment."

Guangxian, Wanda Film and Television, and XMI Cinemas are the shareholders of Hengyu Interactive Entertainment. Guangxian and XMI do not hold many shares, only 2% after dilution, worth 19 billion.

Wanda Film and Television also invested in Hengyu Interactive Entertainment’s private placement, and still owns 8.5% of the shares, worth 80.7 billion.

In addition, there is also Baoli Cinemas, which also owns 2% of Hengyu Interactive Entertainment.

However, as early as when Hengyu Media acquired Baoli Huayi, it invested 2.6 million soft sister coins in Baoli Cinemas, accounting for 15% of the shares.

In the subsequent expansion of Baoli Cinemas, Hengyu Media has never lost the chain, and has always followed the investment to maintain its shares.

Hengyu Mutual Entertainment gave up the benefits, and it was the turn of Guangliang, Wanda Film and Television, and Xingmei Cinemas.

Only with cross-shareholding, coupled with Wuzhou Distribution, which was placed under Hengyu Interactive Entertainment after it was established with Guangxian and Xingmei, Fang Ziheng was completely at ease with Wang Changtian and Tan Hong.

Hengyu Media has Big Dipper Company, Goulian Hengyu Cinemas, Wanda Cinemas, Jinyi Pearl River Cinemas, Hengdang Film and Television Cinemas, and Baoli Cinemas.

Hengyu Interactive Entertainment is distributed by Wuzhou, linked to Guangxian Media and Xingmei Cinemas.

With the two film and television companies Guangxian and Wanda Film and Television, plus six theaters, and Hengyu's own theaters, Hengyu Interactive Entertainment's distribution ability is second only to China Film Group.

In fact, with the addition of the two subsidiaries of Hengyu Maoyan APP and Tudou Video, Hengyu Interactive Entertainment's hard power in publishing will have to be three points stronger.

In June, Hengyu's first movie "Campus Youth 2" will be released this year. At that time, we will know how effective the joint distribution of multiple companies can be.

The next day.

The plane resisted India, and then turned to Mumbai.

The whole group rested for a day, and dispatched with the production team of China Film, and communicated with the local government with the embassy's instructions.

For cross-border shooting, the venue is rented, and China Film is usually involved in the solution.

14th, seven o'clock in the morning.

Several vans, chased by a group of children, came to an ordinary street in Mumbai.

When they got there, the crew split into two.

Assistant director Wen Muye brought a team of people and set up the scene with the Indian company that had been arranged in advance.

Fang Ziheng asked Xu Zheng to put on makeup first, while he discussed the shooting details with the photography team and lighting team.

There is no need to adjust the big aspects. In the previous big shooting plan, there were plans for camera movement, script script, actors' behavior, and even which real group performances to capture.

When it comes to the real scene, the subtle situation is different from the big plan of shooting, so there are fine-tuning before shooting.

After discussing for a while, Fang Ziheng made a final decision: "In this way, follow the previous style, maintain the style of realistic themes, let the camera closely follow the characters, and follow the actors' performances to fine-tune.

In addition, some shaking shots were added to emphasize the insecurity exuded by the actors after arriving in a foreign country. "

"Understood, I will take care of the details."

Qin Fei, the head of the photography team, nodded heavily, and then asked: "Director, for the audience's sense of substitution and realism, I suggest not to use too many camera turns and cuts."

"Well, use two more medium-length shots, but when presenting the customs of India and the surrounding environment of the actors, you can cut the shots appropriately. Remember, the close-up should be lowered to be clear, and the close-up should be deep, and the distant view should be raised and slightly overlooked. Empty, to achieve a shallow perspective, to highlight the changes in the actors' demeanor."

Fang Ziheng pondered for a while, and then gave a few more instructions.

When shooting in a messy environment, we must pay attention to the balance between the environment and the actors, and we must not let the environment take away the brilliance of the actors.

Especially when moving the lens from a distance, it is best to look down into the sky, narrow the scope of the environment in focus, and then mark the shallow field to blur the clarity of the environment.

Otherwise, the mere clutter of the environment would draw the audience out of the action and distract attention from the actors.

Qin Fei is the new photography team leader of the crew. He is very capable and knows how to understand Fang Ziheng's ideas and creativity.

The former team leader was asked by Wu Jing to serve as the assistant director, photography and art director of "Wolf Warrior".

It can be regarded as a promotion, if the accumulation is enough, the next step is to become a director!

After the discussion, Fang Ziheng waved Qin Fei to find a seat, while he walked around the street twice with two field agents.

There is one thing to say, that India can imitate many special medicines unscrupulously, which Fang Ziheng admires very much.

Capital has always been bloody. Drugs developed with billions of dollars are produced at a cost of tens of billions, and they must be sold for at least [-] billion dollars.

Although the counterfeit products in India have the selfish intentions of the local government, the medicines they produce are indeed effective and really cheap.

A poor and backward place can produce Glenin, which is not available in most countries in the world. It is not an exaggeration to praise it as awesome!

An hour later, the actor's ready voice came over the intercom.

Fang Ziheng led the people back, walked into a store, and came to the monitors that had been set up.

He looked at Xu Zheng, who had put on makeup, and smiled: "Ready, do you want to play against each other?"

"No, I have firmly memorized the details!" Xu Zheng grinned, patted his round belly, quite confident.

"OK, let's get started!"

Fang Ziheng didn't worry about it, he sat down on the director's chair, picked up the walkie-talkie and gave instructions.

"Actor is ready!"

"Everyone is in your place!"

"Scene 95, the first shot, let's start!"

moment.

All the crew members were silent, except for a few employees who were acting as extras for Chongfang, the others avoided the range of the set in two steps in three steps.

Three cameras are turned on simultaneously, one on the car and two on the street.

rumbling..
Cheng Yong, played by Xu Zheng, came by taxi and entered the street from the intersection. He was going to the factory to buy goods and smuggle Glenin.

The taxi came slowly and drove very slowly. The shaking camera on the car clearly recorded the crowds on the street.

The streets are full of people, and this country is showing people all over the world how fertile they are.

Seeing the taxi advance 50 meters, Fang Ziheng made a gesture to switch the camera to No. [-] taxi.

The No. [-] machine flew about five meters above the ground, giving a panoramic view of the street, and the camera slowly zoomed up, looking down slightly.

Poor, messy, noisy, crowded.

Fang Ziheng stared at the monitor, and a few sets of words came to mind.

In less than five seconds, he waved his hand again, and the camera quickly switched to Unit 3.

Camera No. [-] is facing the taxi, mainly shooting the middle shot and the side profile of the actors.

A group of gray children appeared, and came to the left and right sides of the taxi with a smile on their faces, while running along with them, they slapped the glass windows with their bodies.

The twenty or so children were not group performers that Fang Ziheng had hired, but the real situation in the local area.

Whenever you meet outsiders and people with different skin colors come to this street, there will be curious children watching.

This is an old tradition in India, where adults pick trains and children pick cars.

Small taxis are nothing to them.

After flipping through the middle ground and shooting the background, Fang Ziheng gave a new order.

"Push up machine No. 3 and switch to a close-up close-up!"

"Roger that!"

Camera No. 3 followed the car and pointed the lens at Xu Zheng inside the car.

As a master of acting skills, Xu Zheng has an instinctive sensitivity to the camera, and his calm expression changed as soon as the camera was pushed over.

Tired, irritable, disgusted.

After glancing at the unyielding children outside the car, Xu Zheng finally became impatient. He rolled down the car glass a few times and waved them away.

As he kept waving his hands, the group of children also felt his dissatisfaction, and gradually stopped and dispersed.

Xu Zheng glanced at the rearview mirror, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a touch of contempt and disgust.

These children are so annoying, they don't look like his sons, they are obedient, well-behaved, cute and caring.

This scene mainly shows Cheng Yong's psychological perspective.

A down-and-out person in China, after arriving in India, a foreign country, his psychology has changed, he despises people who are poorer than him, and looks down on places that are more backward.

This kind of glass heart is not limited to Cheng Yong in the movie, there are countless similar people in reality.

Regardless of the other side, the popular "the first sword on the shore, first kill the person you like" popular in the past two years is an extension of this kind of psychology.
