Entertainment, I only like to make movies

The studio of "Longevity", the shooting base of the 10th studio.

More than 300 warriors wearing retro Shenguang armor, riding tall brown horses, and holding snow-white spears all stabbed forward in a uniform manner, leaving behind a magnificent scene.

"Crack!"

"Okay, this period is over, thank you for your hard work!"

Three seconds later, Fang Ziheng's voice came out through the studio audio.

Hoo.. Hoo..
"No hard work, thank you director!"

The sound of thanks came out in unison, and the three hundred soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, carefully dismounted from their horses, and led the horses out of the studio one after another.

Tread tah..
After 10 minutes, the horse walked out of the studio, and the staff of props group and life group immediately opened the ventilation system to remove the peculiar smell left by the flattery.

Afterwards, more than a dozen employees wearing masks took brooms and mops to quickly clean up the garbage on the ground.

On the set, except for the actors and crew, the other groups of the crew did not rest immediately and continued to be busy.

Adjusting the camera position, laying props, arranging the wires, and processing the pictures just shot, the entire crew has more than 200 active employees, and the follow-up work is in progress in an orderly manner.

In front of the monitor, Fang Ziheng moved the rolling chair back, and let the staff of Tiangong Yicai transmit the picture to the small 3D screen.

"How about it?"

"Director, the screen is usable!"

The three special effects workers kept typing on the keyboard, and one of the team leaders raised his hand as a gesture of OK without looking back.

Fang Ziheng breathed a sigh of relief, got up and shook his arms, came behind the three of them, looked at them for a while and said, "Thanks for your hard work, check more often, if there is no problem, immediately send the captured images to the special effects branch of the base."

"understand!"

The three of them responded, operating the computer smoothly, and doing a more detailed inspection of the captured pictures.

3D shooting is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Even if the shooting is finished, it has to be pre-checked through the 3D screen to find out the problems and flaws.

These problems and flaws cannot achieve perfect results through multiple real shots, and can only be repaired a little bit by using modeling conversion.

It is impossible for any blockbuster 3D film to be completely shot in real life, and a certain amount of conversion must be added.

Theoretically, when the real shooting technology is not mature enough, with 85% real shooting and 15% 3D conversion, the visual effect of the film can achieve the best chemical reaction.

more than an hour later.

After the new set was set up, Fang Ziheng waved his hand, and the filming continued.

"Liu Haoran, Liu Shishi, Yang Mi, Song Yi, Luo Jin, Jiang Shuying, Zhang Songwen, it's your time to play."

"I'm coming!"

The seven leading actors have already finished their makeup, wearing the Taoist robes of the Dagan Taoist Temple, and appearing on the stage holding their own exclusive magic weapons.

Liu Shishi uses a whisk, Da Mimi uses a bell, Song Yi uses a pagoda, Luo Jin uses a sword, Jiang Shuying uses a mirror, and Zhang Songwen uses a picture.

Liu Haoran didn't have a magic weapon, so he held a few pieces of homemade yellow talisman paper.

He is still a rookie, except for the terrifying Zixiao Shenlei, his cultivation level is not enough to use his spiritual sense to control magic weapons.

With the help of the staff, the seven people held the magical instruments, and with the help of the staff, they went up to the Wia, and wobbled into a formation of the Big Dipper.

A few minutes later, the Wia group was ready.

"Everyone is in your place!"

"Actor is ready!"

"Scene 48, the first shot, the first time, start!"

slam
Below, more than 20 people pulled the wire at the same time, and the seven actors charged forward in a big dipper formation, launching a fierce attack.

On the monitor screen, the background image prepared in advance appeared.

A vast mountain range that is clear and gloomy, full of monster aura.

In a mountain stream on the outskirts of the mountain range, seven rainbow lights gathered at one place, rushing down the mountain stream pool with astonishing power.

On the water pool, a huge Biyou snake was spitting out its core, looking at the seven people viciously, and spitting out a dark flame from its mouth.

The seven-member team quickly scattered to avoid the attack waves from both sides.

suddenly
One person is missing from the picture.

Fang Ziheng's eyes froze for a moment, and he immediately cursed.

"Crack!"

"Liu Haoran, where are you running, you are flying out of the camera.

"Director, I'm sorry, I didn't control my figure well."

"Again!"

"Crack!"

"Big honey, why did your bell fall off, you are playing with mud!"

"Crack."

"Song Yi, who made you pout, can you have some snacks!"

Tyrant-like roars sounded on the set, and the entire set was silent, no matter whether it was the actors or the crew, they were all honest.

It took more than a dozen shots in a row before this group of shots passed the test.

.........

2015, June 1.

The Lunar New Year file is over and the Spring Festival file is approaching.

Hengyu Interactive Entertainment held a grand celebration banquet for "The Return of the Great Sage" in the imperial capital, and celebrities and filmmakers came to join in the show.

The film was released for 19.2 days, with a total box office of [-] billion, breaking a number of domestic film records, enough to be included in the epic of animated films.

Hundreds of media reporters voluntarily applied to attend the ceremony. Counting the guests and friends, there were thousands of people, which attracted countless eyeballs.

Since the movie has no famous director and no actors, Hengyu Huyu deliberately made the momentum very large, and set up a red carpet and a signature wall to create momentum for the animation theme.

06:30 in the evening.

Fang Ziheng, who returned to the imperial capital, wore a black suit and a long trench coat outside, and walked on the red carpet with Tian Xiaopeng, the director of "The Return of the Great Sage".

On the red carpet, Tian Xiaopeng held his head high and was a little nervous when facing the reporter's photo.

Speaking of which, his age is not very old, he just turned 40 years old.

In 1997, he served as the production supervisor of the domestic animation "Journey to the West".

In 2001, the reconstruction of "Old Summer Palace" and the 3D animation short film "Lunch" were selected into the Chinese [-]D Yearbook.

In 2004, the [-]D animation film sample "TURBOBOY" he directed won the Excellent Animation Sample Award from the Cartoon Art Committee of the China National Video Association and the Best [-]D Animation Award from the China Digital Art Professional Committee.

In 2006, the original film sample "Jungle Master" he directed won the Excellent Cartoon Award of Huaguo Digital Art Professional Committee.

In January 2010, he directed the 1D animation film "Ant Nest Adventure" at the Vanke Pavilion of Shanghai World Expo.

After that, Tian Xiaopeng wrote and directed "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" and spent nearly two years looking for investors while filming.

It wasn't until I met Fang Ziheng that I shot the movie in one go.

After four years of hard work, he finally shined brilliantly. Anyone would be excited and nervous.

Fang Ziheng relaxed, deliberately slowed down to cooperate with the other party, and said with a smile: "Director Tian, ​​don't be nervous, let the reporters take enough pictures, remember, you are the most handsome boy at the celebration party tonight!"

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it." Tian Xiaopeng was startled when he heard this, and smiled modestly.

Immediately, he took a deep breath to relax the emotions in his heart.

The two walked through the red carpet, signed autographs and took pictures under the guidance of the hostess, and walked into the infield with chic steps.

clap clap..
clap clap..
In the banquet hall of the hotel, thousands of guests burst into unparalleled applause, cheering for Fang Ziheng and Tian Xiaopeng, the two producers and directors of "The Return of the Great Sage".

On the stage, the host He Jiong stepped onto the stage, waved his hand to greet everyone, and shouted loudly: "Dear ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests and friends, welcome everyone to come to the celebration release of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" Yes, thank you all!

Next, let us invite Mr. Fang Ziheng, the film producer, and Mr. Tian Xiaopeng, the director, to the stage with even warmer applause. Welcome them! "

clap clap..
clap clap clap.
The thunderous applause instantly flooded Tian Xiaopeng's heart, and a burst of tears of joy suddenly surged into his heart.

"Go, get on stage!"

Fang Ziheng pulled him, and strode onto the main stage.

The two stepped onto the stage, and the applause from the guests was even more enthusiastic.

He Jiong handed over two microphones, Fang Ziheng took one, smiled slightly, and stepped back half a step to let Tian Xiaopeng speak first.

"Thank you, thank you everyone."

"It's really not easy for "The Return of the Great Sage" to achieve such a result."

"I remember that when the film project was established, my good friends called me crazy, saying that there was no market for animated films, that no one even watched Hollywood's top special effects animations, and that domestic animated films could not be sold at all."

Tian Xiaopeng made an emotional speech. He first talked about his mood at this time, and then told everyone about the process of filming "The Return of the Great Sage".

From film project approval to animation technology, from investment difficulty, shooting difficulty to animation prospect.

With sadness and tears, the more I talked, the more excited I became.

at the end
Facing the endless applause, he changed the subject, looked at Fang Ziheng and thanked: "Here, I would like to thank Fang Dong the most. Without Fang Dong's support, "The Return of the Great Sage" would be at least two or three years later." Meeting the audience may even run aground and end without a cure.

When our crew encountered the biggest difficulties, it was Fang Dong who gave us absolute trust and used the vast resources of Hengyu Media to provide all-round support in terms of capital, technology, and special effects. "

"Without Fang Dong, there would be no "The Return of the Great Sage"!"

"Thank you, Director Fang!"

After finishing speaking, Tian Xiaopeng bowed deeply to Fang Ziheng with red eyes.

Fang Ziheng quickly helped him up, patted his shoulder, and his calm face was full of emotions.

"First of all, I am a filmmaker, a director who really likes movies!"

""The Return of the Great Sage" is a project that I exchanged the share of "Lost in Hong Kong" with China Film. I am optimistic about it, very optimistic about it."

Facing the audience, Fang Ziheng talked about the inside story of investing in "The Return of the Great Sage", and waved to Director Han who was in the center of the audience.

Director Han didn't get up, but also waved his hand, smiling and nodding in agreement.

Many of the guests at the scene knew the inside story in advance, and they showed smiles and admiration.

More guests envied China Film Group for getting the investment share of "Lost in Hong Kong", and once again admired Fang Ziheng's vision.

An animation project that many investors withdrew their capital and refused to play, he just scooped it up, wiped off the dust, and let the movie shine brightly.

Niubi!

This is the real great filmmaker!
On the stage, Fang Ziheng continued to speak: "Secondly, the success of "The Return of the Great Sage" is due to a rigorous and serious production team with ideals, and a director who never gives up.

Even without Hengyu Media's investment, "The Return of the Great Sage" will still be successful, and without me, there will be others who have insight.

Here, I hope that we filmmakers can guard against arrogance and impetuosity, make films seriously, and don't let your talents live up to you and waste your talents.

The sun always comes after the wind and rain, and gold always shines.

I believe that the Chinese-language film and television industry will get better and better, and I hope that everyone present will work with me to create new glories for Chinese-language films! "

clap clap..
clap clap..
The applause broke out again, resounding over the banquet hall.

The guests expressed that Fang Ziheng's bowl of chicken soup was dry, and they enjoyed it very much.

Next, it was the reporter's turn to ask questions.

They were all commonplace questions, mostly answered by Tian Xiaopeng, with Fang Ziheng helping.

The meaning of the two is obvious, and they warn everyone that although the spring of animated films is ushered in, it is not easy to make good animation themes.

I hope that the filmmakers in the industry can use their snacks and don't mess around with bad movies and ruin the hard-won market.

As for whether everyone can listen to it, only God knows!

After the program was over, Fang Ziheng and Tian Xiaopeng stepped off the stage amidst applause, and started tonight's journey of pretending.

There are indeed a lot of guests present tonight, and almost all the famous and surnamed people in the circle are here.

Han Dong, Chen Yu, Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, Wang Zhongjun, Fu Meicheng, and Chen Wu are all big bosses and persons in charge of the company.

Ali Pictures only came with two female generals, Zhang Wei and Zhao Yanzi. It is estimated that Fan Luyuan and Zhang Qiang are still licking their wounds, and they are embarrassed to show up.

As the pony galloped, Li Li, the chairman, showed up with her secretary, and sat at the same table with Ning Hao, chatting and laughing.

Ning Hao is a grateful person, and the pony is galloping. He wants to do something for his former club, so he sends an invitation letter to Li Li.

Next year, Hengyu plans to start a comedy with Galloping Pony, directed by Ning Hao, to repay Big Dog for his kindness and respect for him.

"Congratulations to Fang Dong, another 20 billion movie."

"It's amazing. I can't wait for Fang Dong's vision. Fortunately, our company doesn't have any movies released during the Lunar New Year this year. Otherwise, "The Return of the Great Sage" will definitely be swept into the garbage dump!"

"It's amazing, you're amazing, you've won the Lunar New Year championship for several years in a row!"

"Fang Dong, you are the first to win the treasure from China Film Group, you are so admirable!"

Fang Ziheng left the stage with a wine glass in his hand, and a bunch of guests came up to say hello, with an extremely respectful attitude, more polite than meeting a government leader.

There is no way, good projects in the film market are king!

No matter how much money you have and how much power you have, making a bad movie will hit the street. Only high-quality movies can make the audience buy it.

With a joyful smile on Fang Ziheng's face, he raised his wine glass to clink glasses with several executives of the film and television company, and said modestly: "To be honest, I didn't expect this achievement. At the beginning of the period, I was really not sure about "The Return of the Great Sage". Movies have to be made by someone, as long as they don’t lose money as much as possible.”

I didn't expect it either, try not to lose money!

Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong and the others secretly rolled their eyes, complaining wildly in their hearts, they couldn't see him being so pretentious.

If you are really not sure, with your old 6's temperament, you will exchange 30% of "Hong Kong Ji" for 55% of "The Return of the Great Sage".

The production cost of "The Return of the Great Sage" was 1.3 million, and with the promotion, it was only 2 million. The total box office was 19.3 billion, which can be called a big hit.

An animated film with a total box office close to 20 billion!
When the movie was in theaters, the stock price of Hengyu Interactive Entertainment continued to rise, reaching a height of 1150 billion.

It's a lot of money!

At present, apart from Hengyu, there is no Chinese language film and television company that has managed such an explosive film.

Fang Ziheng's fluffy words broke everyone's defenses in an instant, and they wished they could join forces and beat him up.

Wang Zhongjun's eyes were condensed, a trace of sadness flashed across his face, and he said quietly: "The Lunar New Year holiday is over, and the Spring Festival holiday is approaching. From Fang Dong's perspective, "The Richest Man in Tomatoes" released on the first day of the Lunar New Year must be another blockbuster movie, right? "

As soon as the words were finished, a few eyes glanced over.

Chen Yu, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, Fu Meicheng, Chen Wu, and Li Li who had gathered here all stared at Fang Ziheng for fear of revealing a single word of news.

"Haha, how is it possible, it's just a low-budget comedy!"

Fang Ziheng's face remained motionless, he was laughing, but he was secretly cursing Ma Mapi in his heart.

Old Wang, you are such a chicken thief, you have seen it all!
