Entertainment, I only like to make movies

A sanctuary for the soul, a paradise for migratory birds.

Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China, is boundless with mist and waves, connected with water and sky. For thousands of years, countless literati and inkmen have stopped to leave and recite poems.

Adjacent to the corner of Poyang County, Shangrao City, a naturally formed river bank, the crew of "Longevity" rushed over early in the morning to shoot.

"Hurry up, everyone, start the machine on time at eight o'clock."

"The actors quickly put on makeup, the filming team, the props team, and the wire team, arranged the camera positions according to the plan, and must carefully check to ensure safety."

As soon as he got out of the car, the assistant director Wu Ershan hurriedly drove away with a small horn, orderly directing the crew to make preparations before shooting.

Today, I went out to shoot the scene and filmed the famous opening scene of the plot. The third prince of Luohe Dragon King Ao Yu led a group of aquariums to chase Li Qing, and confronted the second generation of Dagan Shenchao head-on.

There are a large number of 3D real shots in "Longevity", all of which will be completed in the studio of the film and television base.

However, some scenery and location scenes have to be shot in reality. There are too many beautiful scenery in Huaguo that can be used.

Fang Ziheng took a leisurely stroll by the bank of Huhu, eating deep-fried dough sticks in one hand and soy milk in the other.

In the end, he took out his mobile phone and turned his back to the lake, tilted it at 45 degrees to take a selfie, and uploaded it to Weibo.

[Family, who knows, the scenery of Poyang Lake is so beautiful, how can there be such a beautiful place, you haven't been here yet, have you? (dog head)]

After leaving a tea talk, Fang Ziheng took another short video and uploaded it.

Then before the fans asked for the specific address, he put his phone away, opened his hands and started doing aerobic exercises.

After half an hour.

With the scene set up in place, Fang Ziheng came to the front of the monitor and looked through the big plan for this month's shooting.

At this time, the morning sun rises, and a ray of red light falls from the eastern sky, shining on the water surface of Poyang Lake. The breeze is blowing, which makes people feel shocked, like a dream.

Fang Zihengmo calculated the time, at most three days, he could finish filming the scene of Poyang Lake.

At this time, Wu Ershan finished the work in hand, and strode over to ask for instructions: "Director, the preparations are almost done!"

"OK, let's go on with the notification, and turn it on in 20 minutes!"

Two 10 minutes later.

Following Fang Ziheng's order, the entire crew of more than 200 people moved into action.

"Everyone is in your place!"

"Actor is ready!"

buzzing..
Two drones took off and stayed at an altitude of 15 meters on the shore of the lake.

A dozen or so actors in aquarium costumes flew out from the wires, dangling and flying to the bottom of the drone.

Huang Xiaoming, who was dressed in a python robe, was particularly obvious, and his movements were crisper than those of the group performers, and he flew to the predetermined location in a few strides.

The leader of the photography team personally held the camera, pushed up a high-altitude camera, and pointed it at Huang Xiaoming, so that he could capture close-ups later.

Fang Ziheng looked up, picked up the small speaker and asked loudly: "Xiao Ming, can you do it?"

"Director, I'm fine, I'll be fine soon!"

Huang Xiaoming responded in mid-air, spread his hands to quickly balance his body, and stepped on his feet in the air, quite confidently.

One minute later, Huang Xiaoming gestured towards the shore, indicating that he was ready.

On the shore of the lake, Liu Haoran played the role of young Li Qing, Yang Xuejian played the role of Ji Xue, the third princess of Dagan, and Song Yi played the role of Lingyun, the third disciple of the National Teacher.

The actor Luo Jing who played the son of Marquis Yang Xuan, the actor Zhang Songwen who played the shadow demon, and a group of special actors who played the role of the second generation of officials were all in place.

"Fifth scene, first shot, start!"

In front of the camera, Huang Xiaoming received the signal, his expression changed suddenly, he spread his legs and flew in the air, leading a group of aquariums towards the lake fiercely.

There are more than 40 people in the wire group and the prop group, and a group of four is in charge of a wire to ensure the rhythm of the actors in the sky.

"Hey, my son, the prince is watching where you are going!"

Huang Xiaoming flew to the sky above the lake shore, stretched his finger through the air, pointed at Liu Haoran who had just woken up on the shore and shouted angrily.

As soon as he pretended to be aggressive, he moved forward inertially and disappeared into the camera.

"Crack!"

"Wia group, control the strength!"

In front of the monitor, Fang Ziheng waved his hand and continued without blinking.

Wei Ya pulled back, Huang Xiaoming made a few circles, and returned to the original place.

"Again."

"Fifth scene, first shot twice, start!"

After shooting seven or eight times in a row, this shot is over.

Then the drone camera switched, pointing at Yang Xuejian and Song Yi on the shore.

Under the high-altitude camera, several people frowned and looked up, with dissatisfied expressions and the arrogance of noble children.

Fang Ziheng waved his hand lightly, pointing the No. 2 camera at Liu Haoran, and captured his bewildered expression close-up.

"Crack, this shot is over!"

Liu Haoran's acting skills are still acceptable among his peers, and his innocent and bewildered expressions are not a problem.

Afterwards, Fang Ziheng looked at Huang Xiaoming in the air again, and asked, "Xiao Ming, do you want to come down and rest for a while?"

"No, keep shooting!"

Huang Xiaoming kicked his legs, with a sense of self-confidence that "it's just a little rain, I can do nothing".

"OK, keep shooting!"

"Scene 5, take the third shot, start!"

The set was quiet again, and the drone zoomed out, framing the two parties in one shot.

Camera No. 1 aimed at Huang Xiaoming, and camera No. 2 captured Liu Haoran.

Machine No. 3 pushed up, facing Yang Xuejian, Song Yi, Luo Jing, Zhang Songwen and others diagonally.

Under the camera, Yang Xuejian, who was dressed as a little fairy in a biluo dress, looked up at Huang Xiaoming slightly with her neck up, and said with a disdainful smile: "Who am I? It turns out that I am the famous prodigal son in the Luohe Dragon Palace."

"Ao Laosan, you are so brave, you dare to chase and kill the people of my Dagan God Dynasty!"

After finishing speaking, she raised her eyebrows and snorted coldly.

No matter what conflicts the little brother in front of him has with Ao Yu, let's beat him down first.

Luo Jin, Song Yi, and Zhang Songwen sneered one after another, not at all intimidating to the third prince of the Dragon Palace.

The younger brother behind the four of them had even more exaggerated expressions, pointing at Huang Xiaoming who was in mid-air, telling him to take his shrimp soldiers and crab generals to get out of here quickly, otherwise he will look good.

Just when Huang Xiaoming laughed out of anger, and was about to confront Yang Xue when they saw them confronting each other, Fang Ziheng's scolding suddenly sounded on the set.

"Ka, Mimi, haven't you eaten early, why are you so weak when you speak?"

Fang Ziheng patted his seat and stood up, walked quickly to the crowd, stared at Yang Xuejian and said: "Remember your identity, you are the Seventh Princess of the Daqian Dynasty, a little fairy, and you love to fight against injustice since you were young. People bully the weak."

"Besides, Princess Seven has known Ao Yu since she was a child. You two are born to be aggressive, and you will pinch each other when you meet. You have fought countless times, show some momentum!"

After finishing speaking, Fang Ziheng didn't turn his head back: "Adjust and start over!"

"I see, director!"

Yang Xuejian pursed her lips and recalled her performance just now, it was indeed a bit weak in momentum.

The Seventh Princess of Dagan is a character with great personality. She is talented, has abundant resources, and likes to fight against injustices. She is one of the influential figures in Dagan Yujing.

In the character description: Relying on the favor of the God Lord, the Seventh Princess has repeatedly taken actions to punish the dandies in Yujing City, and she is very popular with the common people in Yujing City.

The Luohe River flows through Dagan, and is one of the nine inland rivers in Dagan. The Luohe Dragon Palace is located in Yujing Mansion. The Luohe Dragon King is in charge of the weather and rain in the surrounding prefectures. one of the gods.

The third prince of the Dragon King, Ao Yu, is naturally noble in Daqian, but no matter how noble he is, he is not as valuable as the Seventh Princess.

Yang Xuejian was thinking about the character, let out a breath, and quickly adjusted her state.

Fortunately, Liu Qianqian didn't come today, otherwise, if she saw her embarrassment, she might be laughed at.

Come on!

You must act well, and you must not be compared to that vixen!
After one point, continue shooting.

"Okay, the 5th scene, the third shot twice, let's start!"

Diao Weiya's scenes were already difficult to film, and the difficulty of the fighting was increased to another level. It was not until three o'clock in the afternoon that the filming of the literary part was barely finished.

Fang Ziheng saw that it was almost done, and announced that he was off work.

No way, in order to pursue rigor, the background and time of shooting must be closely related to the plot.

The conflict between the two parties began when the sun was high in the morning, and the sun must not be setting, and they were still fighting.

The rest of the fighting scenes will be filmed tomorrow morning or noon.

Finish work early and rest early.

The crew returned to the Hengyu film and television base, leaving some people to camp on the shore of the lake to take care of the equipment.

.........

night.

After Fang Ziheng took a shower, he put on a bathrobe and came to the computer to check the movie market situation of the last week.

截止10月13号至10月20号，电影市场拢共有4部票房的周票房过了2000万。

Champion of the Week is a Hollywood movie "Guardians of the Galaxy", which was released on the 10th, with 1.92 million in the first weekend.

The next week, that is, it won 2.43 million in seven days this week, and the total box office successfully exceeded 4.35 million.

Judging from the box office trend, even if it dives next week, the movie's weekly box office will exceed 6 million. It is said that 5 million is quite a lot, and [-] million is definitely stable.

No.2 "Embroidered Spring Knife 2", this week's box office plunged again, only 6900 million in seven days.

Counting the 5.1 million in the first week and 2.2 million in the second week, the total box office barely broke 8 million, and the 10 billion club is hopeless.

However, "Embroidered Spring Knife 2" has a good reputation, and has taken root in the hearts of movie fans like the first one. As the distributor of the movie, Hengyu Interactive Entertainment successfully broke through the market value of 1100 billion by relying on the Dongfeng of the National Day file.

Become a veritable giant in the film and television industry.

Huayi, Guangxian, Bona, Ali Pictures, and Wanda Film and Television, which will be listed next year, and Tengxun Film, which is stepping up preparations for listing, have become more determined about the broad prospects of the film and television industry and entertainment industry after seeing this situation.

Hengyu Interactive Entertainment has a market value of 400 billion yuan, Tudou Video has a market value of more than [-] billion yuan, and China Literature Group, a subsidiary of Hengyu Group, has been expanding continuously.

The Hengyu Media Group alone has a total volume of more than 2000 billion.

This is not counting Hengyu's film and television base, theater chain, artist agency, and TV drama business.

Who is not tempted, who is not jealous!
Several major film and television companies almost set Hengyu Media as the target of catching up, and they are full of confidence in the future.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Zhongjun and Yu Dong shared the risks of "Legend of the Gods" tacitly, and learned from Hengyu to take the route of high-quality content.

In front of the computer, Fang Ziheng was very satisfied with the results of "Xiu Chun Knife 2", and took out his mobile phone Andy to make a call.

"Hey, Andy, are you asleep?"

"I just took a shower, why, our big director thinks of me when he has time?"

On the other end of the phone, Andy was in a luxurious, western-style dreamy bedroom, with one hand brushing his half-dry and half-wet hair, while holding the phone, with a resentful expression, like a resentful woman who no one loves.

"How can I, I have always pretended to be you!"

Fang Ziheng smiled sheepishly, and said softly, "Sorry, I've been very busy recently."

"Come on, you haven't looked for me a few times in the imperial capital."

Andy didn't like him, lying on the snow-white bed, acting like a baby to his lover rarely.

It's a pity that Fang Ziheng couldn't see this contrasting scene, otherwise he must have been extremely shocked.

Maybe I will book a plane ticket back to the imperial capital tonight, and pamper Sister An well.

Hmm.. After getting to know Andy, apart from being cool and indifferent when working and facing outsiders, he is more and more open in front of him.

She was no longer the ice beauty who didn't wear perfume, and her charm was no different from that of Concubine Lin, two different tastes of royal sisters.

Fang Ziheng coaxed several times, until Andy's laughter came from the phone, he was relieved, and brought the topic to "Xiu Chun Dao 2".

"Andy, "Embroidered Spring Knife 2" has done well. Do you have any reward plan for the relevant staff?"

"Well, you said it was director Hao Yi, so follow the old rules!"

Andy smiled lightly, turned over, and sat up from the bed with his waist straightened, revealing his beautiful white legs.

According to the old rules, "Embroidered Spring Knife 2" is a script produced by the group, Hao Yi can't personally invest, and can only get [-]% of the box office revenue.

This amount of money is quite a lot, no less than 2000 million.

Fang Ziheng refers to rewards and bonuses other than the 2000 million

That is to say, relying on the routine of one reward for one movie, Hengyu Media can stabilize so many blockbuster directors, occupy popular schedules for several consecutive years, become bigger and stronger, and create glories again.

"Okay, you can figure it out."

Fang Ziheng didn't say any more, and Andy can take care of this trivial matter.

Immediately afterwards, he asked about another upcoming movie.

"Double Eleven of the new year is coming soon, how are you preparing for "Predecessor Raiders 2"?"

"The publicity plan has just arrived on my desk, and I will hold a meeting tomorrow to study it."

When it comes to work, Andy is still very concerned, and instantly changes his attitude and becomes a strong woman.

"Predecessor Raiders 2", the sixth work released by Hengyu Interactive Entertainment this year, is also the fifth work released after its listing.

In the Lunar New Year file at the end of the year, there is also a movie called The Return of the Great Sage.

Since Double 11 was promoted by Taobao, film and television companies followed suit and developed this time into a good and popular schedule.

Double 11, Singles’ Day, romance movies are most popular among young men and women.

Then, Andy briefly talked about the film's publicity plan on the phone. It was nothing more than an online and offline promotion, and variety shows all over the country were bombarded.

Fang Ziheng suddenly thought of something, and smiled slightly: "Take me to tell Su Lun, I will definitely be there on the day of the premiere."

"Really, when are you coming back?"

Andy was stunned for a moment, his eyes gleaming: "Can you come back early?"

"It's okay, it's three days in advance."

"Three days are short, at least one week in advance!"

"All right, all right, I'll go directly to your office and carry you home when I get back."

"You treat me like a child, and I'm still afraid of you!"

"I'm not afraid, let's watch a video now."

Fang Ziheng smirked and spoke a little louder.

The next day, Alibaba Pictures.

Chairman Fan Luyuan decided to hold a meeting to discuss whether to invest in "Legend of the Gods" after a night of thinking.

In the conference room, the executives of Alibaba Pictures have all arrived.

Fan Luyuan explained what Wang Zhongjun meant, and said with a leisurely smile: "Judging from the current situation, Fang Ziheng seems to be in a hurry and lost his position."

"Hehe.. "Longevity" has been in preparation for more than a year, with a total investment of 6 million soft sister coins. It was rumored that outsiders followed suit as soon as the film was launched, and it was adapted from a big IP novel such as Fengshen Yanyi. He is not in a hurry. Strange!"

Yang Weidong, the CEO of Youku Video, sighed, with an attitude of watching a movie.

In the past few days, Hangcheng Ma has completed the control of Youku, and his status as a direct descendant of Alibaba has risen. He was promoted to the vice president of the big entertainment group and became one of the top cores.

On the opposite side, Zhang Qiang, who was sitting on the left side of the conference room, frowned, disagreed with this view, and analyzed: "We can't draw a conclusion yet, "Legend of the Gods" is too strange, we all know what company Hua Guoxing is, Anyway, I don't believe they will spend hundreds of millions to make a movie seriously!"

"Boss Zhang is right, there is indeed a problem with this project, the two directors are unknown in Hong Kong Island, who knows what will come out of the film!
Zhang Wei on the right glanced at Yang Weidong beside him, shook his head, and agreed with Zhang Qiang's opinion.

After two years, Zhang Wei is no longer the film novice at the beginning, and understands the importance of directors and screenwriters.

Fan Luyuan smiled when he heard the words, tapped his knuckles on the conference table, and admitted: "The two directors are really not very good, but Li Lianjie is the leading role, and Hua Guoxing has found Xu Kedang and Ye Weixin as producers. It won't be a big problem."

"If Alibaba Pictures joins us, we can let Director Chen join the team as an art director, help Xu Ke and Ye Weixin control the quality of the film, and maybe even draw them into our camp!"

What Fan Luyuan said made the eyes of several senior executives present brighten up.

The director Chen he was talking about was none other than Chen Kexin, the director of "Dear", which is currently still in theaters.

Although "Dear" was a glamorous production, the distribution rights were guaranteed by Ali Pictures with a box office of 5 million.

Ali Pictures has a strong network of publicity and distribution, and after contacting Chen Kexin, he promised to fully support the film distribution in person.

After going back and forth, Ali Pictures hooked up with Chen Kexin and took the director from Hong Kong Island into his pocket.

"Legend of the Gods" has Xu Ke, Ye Weixin, and Chen Kexin in charge, plus a host of big-name stars, no matter how bad it is, it won't be so bad.

Zhang Wei, Yang Weidong, Deng Kangming, and four other Alibaba Pictures executives couldn't help but nod their heads, and they all thought it was worth a vote.

5000 million to buy a 10% share of "Legend of the Gods", and when the film comes out, it will buy part of the distribution from Bona, and it will definitely make some money!

In the conference room, only Zhang Qiang, the CEO, did not make a statement.

"Everyone, the quality of movies is one aspect. Hua Guoxing is too low and doesn't have the ability to make blockbuster movies."

Faced with the questioning eyes of the crowd, Zhang Qiang smiled wryly, and once again emphasized Hua Guoxing's unreliability, and at the same time changed the topic and said in a deep voice: "Besides, I'm still worried about Brother Hua Yi, who is Wang Zhongjun, a figure at the level of an old fox.

We have been dealing with him for several years, and we have never seen him take the initiative to give up the share of a favorite movie. "

"According to Hua Guoxing's staff, the distribution of "Legend of the Gods" was handed over to Bona, the production was done by Hua Guoxing and Huayi together, and the movie was shot in our mainland, which shows that Fu Huadao was fully covered by Huayi.

With an investment of 5 million yuan, besides the actors' remuneration, let alone [-] million yuan for filming, Wang Zhongjun looks ugly."

Having said this, Zhang Qiang paused for a moment to give others time to think.

In fact, there is no need to think about it, everyone knows that what Zhang Qiang said is right.

In the two years since he entered the film and television industry, Ali has not been freeloaded in movies many times. Lu Chuan's "Seven Star Lu Wang" cannot be counted as freeloading, but only brain damage, because he chose the wrong director.

But for online dramas, Youku has been cheated countless times.

In order to resist major competing products, Youku has developed a road of self-produced dramas internally by learning iQiyi, and produces more than a dozen small web dramas with millions of dollars every year.

Almost every small web drama has to be swallowed up by contracted producers and crews.

In this regard, among the major platforms, only iQiyi and Tudou Video do better. Both of them have signed directors and ready-made crews.

Moreover, everyone is not a fool. Naturally, I have heard many inside stories about film and television companies cheating investors, and directors and crews cheating film and television companies and investing.

The most famous one is Chen Kexin, who just signed a contract with Alibaba Pictures. After a film was made, the box office hit the street. As a director, he bought a villa right away.

Hua Yi, one of the producers, would have to spend more than half of the 3 million production budget if they really started on "Legend of the Gods".

In the mainland, no one is afraid of the Xiang family boss!
In the conference room, everyone showed embarrassment, and was let go by Zhang Qiang's words.

After thinking about it, Zhang Wei's eyes flashed, and he said to Fan Luyuan who was in the main seat: "How about we take the production rights over."

"You mean to increase investment?" Fan Luyuan shrank his pupils and asked uncertainly.

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Qiang, Deng Kangming, and Yang Weidong shook their heads violently.

"No, we must not indiscriminately increase investment!"

"Chairman, Alibaba Pictures has just been listed, and the stock price is still under development. We must not invest huge sums of money in a project whose progress is unclear!"

call.
Fan Luyuan waved his hand to appease the impatient three people, and rejected Zhang Wei's proposal: "It is true that we cannot increase investment. After the company is listed, performance is very important, and accounts are also difficult to manage. Mr. Zhang, what better way do you have!"

"There is one more thing, send a professional finance team to monitor the use and whereabouts of the funds from time to time!"

Zhang Wei sighed and threw out his profession.

As long as the money is locked up, Hua Yi can't do anything with him!
"Okay, let's do it!"

Fan Luyuan smiled, and made a final decision, making a decision to invest in "Legend of the Gods".

Zhang Qiang was not talking, his eyes drooped slightly, and he complained again in his heart.

You guys, you still don't understand movies!

If a film and television company really wants to cheat investors, there are many means, and finances are useless.

Just like Fang Ziheng, he blatantly asked the investor to pay a premium, and used the investor's money to make his own movie.

Can you still bite him!
PS: I don’t feel dizzy today, but I just have a little diarrhea. I only coded [-]. I’m sorry, Xiaodao broke his promise! (end of this chapter)
