[36 billion, a small goal! 】

Magic City Entertainment: "Yesterday, Hengyu Media held a celebration banquet in the Imperial City to celebrate the total domestic box office of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" breaking through the 30 billion mark. At the dinner, director Fang Ziheng personally revealed that the new film "Longevity" will be released in the Lunar New Year next year , and set a small goal, the total box office is expected to be 36 billion!"

[Mythological giant system, set sail! 】

Sina Entertainment: "With a total investment of 5 million soft sister coins, the so-called unprecedented mythical special effects blockbuster "Longevity" has officially launched a project. Fang Ziheng, the number one Chinese director, will soon open a national audition to select suitable roles for the film!"

[One step per year, Fang Ziheng pointed at 40 billion! 】

Netease News: "Last October, international director Fang Ziheng announced two new films at one go, a realistic medical theme "I'm Not the God of Medicine", and a mythological blockbuster "Longevity".

Today, the total box office of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has successfully exceeded 30 billion, becoming the top box office champion in Chinese film history.

The second new film "Longevity" is about to start. The theme of mythology is also a new theme that Director Fang Ziheng tried again.

At the God of Medicine celebration banquet last night, director Fang Ziheng was interviewed by reporters, and he proudly declared that the new film was worth 40 billion yuan, and vowed to present a mythical masterpiece to the public! "

[Unspeakable, Fang Ziheng once again dominates the summer file! 】

[The 30 billion club, only Fang Ziheng is alone! 】

[Fang Ziheng called on the entertainment industry to boycott independent artists and bad artists! 】

[Hengyu Media Group issued an internal notice to block independent artists! 】

[Start from me, keep clean and self-respect, and stick to the bottom line of morality and law! 】

As soon as the celebration banquet ended, the situation on the scene was announced by the media and spread at an extremely fast speed.

36 billion!
40 billion!
The report with pictures and the truth shocked countless colleagues in the industry who did not attend the dinner.

Compared with movie fans and netizens watching the excitement, colleagues know better what the concept of 40 billion box office is.

It's really not that they look down on Fang Ziheng and Chinese movies!

The box office of 40 billion is not at the same level as the box office of 20 billion and 30 billion. The box office has increased by 10 billion, and the result of a qualitative change has been achieved.

Just like "I'm Not the God of Medicine", "Tang Detective 2", "Hong Kong囧", "The Great Wall", and "Transformers 4", the two sides are not rivals at the same level at all.

The reason why "The God of Medicine" was able to reach the height of 30 billion is entirely due to the theme of the movie, which has attracted the attention of the whole people and discussed the results.

What's in Immortality?
Is it possible to rely on mythological themes and blockbuster special effects to fly? It's impossible to think about it!
Zhou Xingchi's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and "Havoc in Heaven" during the Spring Festival this year are all mythological themes, and one of them is a comedy, not only 10 billion box office.

Although you, the sixth son, are making progress every year and the box office is growing very fast, but if you want to break through the 40 billion mark with a mythical film of unknown origin, you are afraid that you will be drifting away, right?

Don't believe it, we don't believe it!

Many colleagues were the first to have doubts after seeing the report.

But everyone didn't believe it or not, and they didn't stand up to make trouble. Instead, they posted a message on Weibo to support, looking forward to "Longevity" meeting the audience as soon as possible.

Look, this is the way of the world!

Movie fans are different from netizens. It's a pleasure to eat melons and watch.

Not to mention that Fang Ziheng only shouted 36 billion, even if he really shouted 40 billion or 50 billion, they would be happy.

After all, who on the Internet is not a fun person!
"Haha, it has to be Fang Ziheng, a small goal of 36 billion, this pretends to force me to give full marks!"

"Awesome, look at this tone and attitude, other directors probably only dare to think about it in their dreams!"

"Jiang Wen was interviewed by a reporter a few days ago, in response to the box office expectation of "One Step Away", and reported a figure of 15 billion. At that time, I thought Jiang Wen was exaggerating. Now it seems that Lao Jiang is still conservative!"

"If you don't mention it above, I forgot. The "Monster Hunt" controlled by LeTV is known as a big cast and a big production. At the press conference, it only dared to shout 10 billion box office. Compared with Fang Ziheng, everyone should not be too sober. !"

"Hey buddy, Monster Hunt is having a hard time!"

"Not to mention anything else, just boycotting the single thing, I am convinced by Fang Ziheng, and the entire entertainment circle is the only one who stands up and responds positively, and dares to call on the entire industry to boycott!"

"You can't blame other people for this. Uncle Long is still here, and everyone has to give seniors some face. Besides, Uncle Long didn't express his opinion. Don't worry about that naughty son!"

"Okay, let's not talk about those bad things, let's talk about the plot of "Longevity"."

"Let's talk die, don't look at whether Fang Lao Liu is singing high-profile, he is a ghost, when did you see him reveal the inside story of the movie in advance!"

"Damn it, I really want to knock Fang Lao Liu's head open and see what the expected box office movie is like in advance."

"Count me in, tonight we will go to the Hengyu headquarters to block the sixth son!"

"Is the upstairs stupid? If you want to block, you will block Hengyu's beautiful star. Blocking a big man is useless!"

"Ahhh, I just want to know who the leading actors of "Longevity" are, and I hope Sissi will be the heroine!"

"Fuck off, my big honey is the first choice for micro-milk powder!"

"What Qianqian, what Mimi, is it because Li Qin is not fragrant, or whether Jiang Shuying is not beautiful!"

"Draw your swords, everyone, the heroine must be my rich flower!"

"The heroine must be my big Tsing Yi ion, whoever agrees, whoever opposes!"

"I'm against it, just pretend that my Tiezi doesn't exist!"

"Sissy: Come on together!"

Below the major topics, movie fans and netizens skipped the initial happiness and became concerned about the specific situation of "Immortal".

As for the mythological giants, apart from the TV series "Feng Shen Bang" and "Journey to the West", there are no works that are shocking enough or classic enough.

The only "Legend of Shushan" that produced a new idea is still in the category of fairy tales and not included in the ranks of mythology.

"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was originally good, but it took the approach of comedy, which was too different from the theme of mythology.

As for "Havoc in Heaven", let's not talk about it!

On the whole, netizens are full of expectations for "Longevity", and hope that Fang Ziheng will produce a mythological film with unique Chinese characteristics.

After all, who in Huaguo hadn't longed for the gods who came and went in the sky when they were children.

After the celebration banquet, Fang Ziheng took his sister back to the building directly.

8 month 18 number.

He climbed out of the gentle fragrance, rubbed his waist and came to Hengyu headquarters.

This week, he ran around the palace and the duplex building, living a life of wearing clothes, reaching out for food, and opening his mouth.

Lin Feifei, Zeng Li, Andy, and Song Yi are four beauties, arranged and combined in a variety of ways.

Hengyu headquarters.

As soon as he stepped into the chairman's office, Fang Rou, the secretary, followed him in and told Director Guo Fan and the two screenwriters from the cultural editorial department that they had been waiting for a long time.

"Let them in."

Fang Ziheng took off his suit, waved to Fang Rou, went to the rest room, opened the summer refrigerator, and picked out a can of Jianlibao, which he usually likes to drink.

Snapped.
Gollum.

"Ah cool, it still tastes like an hour later!"

Fang Ziheng wiped his mouth, took a few bottles of Jianlibao, and sat down on the sofa in the reception area.

咚咚
After a while, Fang Rou came in with Guo Fan, Tian Tian Ba ​​Sing, and another screenwriter.

"Hello, Chairman!"

"Old Guo, Ba Chang, come and sit down, what do you want from me?"

Fang Ziheng nodded to the three of them, pointed to the sofa in front of him, and asked directly.

"Chairman, we're here to ask for your palm."

Guo Fan and Tianxia Bachang looked at each other, walked forward with a smile, took out a document and handed it to him.

"Chairman, the second draft of "The Wandering Earth" has been completed, please point out the deficiencies."

"Oh, let me see." Fang Ziheng took the document and said in surprise.

In less than a month, the second draft of the script was finished?
Immediately, he opened the file and read it carefully.

In the document, in addition to the script of "The Wandering Earth", there is also a project plan.

Guo Fan obviously came prepared, and after learning from the writer Liu Cixin, he accelerated the preparation of "The Wandering Earth".

While adapting novels with colleagues in the literary editorial department, he used his power for personal gain. He used his status as the deputy director of Hengyu's film business department to force the production department, film production department, and prop company to step up preparations for the film.

Unlike the well-known directors and famous directors in the outside world, Hengyu Media is a large group, and it has already come to the period when the grass-roots team formed a group and relied on the director's fame to attract investment and attract people.

Before any movie or TV series is launched, it has to go through the joint evaluation and approval of several departments.

"The Wandering Earth" is no exception. Although the project was proposed by Fang Ziheng and Guo Fan was appointed to direct it, the follow-up matters still have to go through group procedures.

For movies, following the procedure has the advantage of following the procedure. It is more well-prepared and will not cause problems during filming.

Fang Ziheng roughly scanned the planning book, didn't read any more, and focused on the script.

He also recognized the joint capabilities of several major departments of Hengyu Group.

As stated in the script, "The Wandering Earth" tells the story of the people on earth who worked together before the sun was destroyed, experienced many hardships and finally took the earth to escape the solar system and wandered into the universe and starry sky.

Because it is the second draft, the script is not written in detail, and many of the plots in the original version are missing.

Fang Ziheng read carefully, drawing out the advantages, essence and shortcomings with a pen from time to time, and giving suggestions to the third and fourth drafts.

10 minute later.

Fang Ziheng put down his pen and documents, raised his head, and said to Guo Fan, who was pinching Jianlibao with an expectant expression on his face, "Old Guo, the script is pretty good. It can be used after two or three more refinements."

"Hey, with your words from the chairman, I am completely relieved!" Guo Fan smiled innocently and flattered me.

This guy is also a genius. In his previous life, he used a trick to lure Wu Jing into the water. Not only did he get the leading actor, but he also brought in follow-up investment for the movie.

Fang Ziheng ignored Guo Fan's flattery, took a sip of Jianlibao, and asked in a calm voice, "Tell me, how do you think the movie should be made?"

Cough
"Chairman, we think so."

When it comes to business, Guo Fan is also serious.

The carefree look disappeared in an instant, and he sat up straight and said seriously: "It must not be filmed according to the original "The Wandering Earth", the novel is too depressing and dark, and many of the dark complexes in the book are not suitable for appearing on the big screen. !"

"Nonsense, just talk about the core theme of the movie!" Fang Ziheng stared, interrupting Guo Fan's foreshadowing.

What you said is superfluous!
"The Wandering Earth" not only mocks the fate of mankind, but also has compassion for the lives of ordinary people. There are also a lot of dark complexes and depravity of human nature. Any fool knows that it cannot be filmed according to the original work!

"That..that"

Stared at by Fang Ziheng, Guo Fan shrank his neck, rubbed his hands and whispered: "I think, we can focus on oriental heroic justice or western family warmth, choose one as the core theme of the movie!"

"Chairman, look, I have studied Hollywood sci-fi films over the years. They either follow the extreme individual heroism, or follow the routine of the protagonist standing up for his family without hesitation."

"Is there a third way?"

"Yes, combine the two!"

Guo Fan straightened his chest and spoke his mind.

An oriental hero who sacrificed his life for righteousness touched all mankind.

Too tall!
Western-style family warmth is like a Hollywood blockbuster with a baby. Family is the most important thing, and saving the world is just a side effect.

Too little love!

He didn't want to follow any routine, but wanted to combine the two, and come up with a core selling point suitable for the vast audience in Huaguo.

Fang Ziheng didn't speak, tapped his fingers on his knees lightly, lost in thought.

Guo Fan's idea is the core theme of the original version of the previous life. This theme can be said to be very good and fully adapted to the audience in the mainland.

But it is precisely because of the fusion of the two cores that the plot of the movie is too procrastinated, long-winded, and not refreshing enough.

In the last life, the original film had a total investment of 3.5 million, and this was the result of careful calculation by Guo Fan and several parties.

It took a long time to shoot, and the finished film came out in the process of dawdling!

In this life, Fang Ziheng invested 5 million yuan to give "The Wandering Earth" the highest level of support.

A large investment does not mean that there must be a large report, but the film effect must be better than that of the previous life.

Otherwise, he will be reborn to play football!
So Fang Ziheng is thinking about how to make Guo Fan more accurately position the heroism of the East and the warmth of the family in the West, and how to make it more perfect between the two, so as to make the film effect to a higher level!
After thinking about it, he put forward a new suggestion: "Old Guo, it's still the same sentence, the film must first be based on the local, there is no need to learn everything from Hollywood."

"In my opinion, the core tone of the movie focuses on the country and the nation, and it is shown in the way the protagonist does things.

In addition, family members also have to take care of it, as the second core of the movie, it is shown in the form of chatting and calling. "

"Two cores, one main and one auxiliary, are presented to the audience with different shooting methods. Don't specially emphasize and downplay the protagonist's choice between country and family!"

"Understood!"

Guo Fan's eyes lit up and he nodded heavily.

They are all adults, and whoever is still entangled with the country and family needs everything if they are capable and qualified.

If you don’t have the ability or the conditions, then you will go through the hardships and come back to ask for it!

Work, do things, speak with events, don't sing high-profile, the movie is not like reality, and the audience knows at a glance that the protagonist is a person for the country and the people.

In the process of the protagonist doing things, add some family warmth into it, present it in the form of chatting and calling, and the emotional resonance will soon come.

No need to describe it!
high!
High!

Still the director is tall!

Guo Fan reopened the script, picked up Ziheng's suggestion under the notebook, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable he felt.

Tian Tian Ba ​​Sing at the side saw that the first thing was almost done, and also took out a document from his briefcase.

While handing it to Fang Ziheng, he said with a smile: "Chairman, I have finished the first draft of the script for the second part of the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series, please read it!" (End of this chapter)
