China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 34

He Fang successfully bought the script of "People on the Journey". He didn't bargain for the script not only because the script was good, but also because he wanted to make friends with the great screenwriter Tian Hanyu.

Afterwards, the "Predecessor" series he wrote could still make money at the box office, but it's a pity that he insisted on being the director himself.His directing level is not good at all, wasting a good story.

But as far as his director level is concerned, the box office of the "Predecessor" series is not bad. From this aspect, it can be seen that Tian Hanyu's story has actually been catching the pain points of the society. "People on the Journey" is about the Spring Festival travel and people who have lost their true self, and "Predecessor" is about the absurd world of marriage and love.

Although He Fang doesn't necessarily like the movie "Predecessor", but he is a commercial filmmaker, why not make money if he can make money?If you don't want to shoot, you can invest in it.

It’s just that after buying “On the Journey”, his film schedule became tense. After “Far Cry”, he immediately filmed “The Lobster”, and at the end of the year, he will shoot “On the Journey”. Few directors have such a dense schedule. Filming?

Of course, Hong Kong directors don't count, Wang Jing can make nine films a year, that's crazy.

After the contract signing of "People on the Journey" is settled, He Fang will continue to do the film's sound post-production and go to Hualong Company to do light adjustment and color adjustment.

Of course, during this period, he bought the film and television copyrights of "The Wandering Earth" and "Three-Body Problem". Besides, the most important thing is that he wants to finalize the file for "Far Cry".

His father He Ben sent him the schedule of 37 movies for the summer, 8 in August, 23 in July, and 7 at the end of June.Because He Fang still wants to rely on the "Voice" platform to promote "Far Cry", so his idea should be to schedule the film at the end of July and early August, but this schedule makes him have no idea.

He previously expected that there would be blockbuster Hollywood blockbusters in late July and early August. There were "Harry Potter 7" and "The Overheard" before, and "Up" and "Special Forces" later. These are all in his memory Good movie at the box office.

At least the other films in the middle will split the box office, not to mention, this summer vacation is really scary.

By the beginning of July, his movie promotion was not effective, and there was no "The Voice" program to set it off.Is it going to compete with "Harry Potter" in mid-July?Does the commission until the end of July mean that they want to compete with "Eavesdropping"?

August schedule? There were "Up" and "Special Forces" in early August, and "Perfect" in the mid-term. The key is that there are 8 films scheduled for August, which are all headshots.

As He Fanglai, who was making a theatrical movie for the first time in two generations, he thought the publicity was easy and the competition wasn't too big.When he saw this gear table, his scalp was numb.

It doesn't look like any competition is good, what should I do?He Fang was a little helpless for a while.

But, fortunately, he has a father who runs a movie theater, so He Fang called his father, He Ben.

"Hey, Dad, as an experienced cinema boss, which one would you like to schedule for my movies? I've seen so many movies stacked together, I can't even schedule them."

It's not shameful to confess to his father and get a lesson.

"Ha, you boy, I knew you would run into this trouble. That's why I prepared 500 million for you to lose money. You make it easy to watch movies in theaters. Your movie needs stars and no stars. The topic is not topical. I see that you recently asked Zhang Qian to stir up a few actresses' body topics on the Internet. These are all gossips and are useless. Netizens and movie theater audiences are not talking about two waves of people. I can only say The overlap is not very high."

"..." Now He Fang was dumbfounded, it seemed that his analysis of the market was simple, "Then what should we do now?"

"What should I do? Movie promotion needs the right way and big media. Posting on the Internet is useless. If posting is useful, why spend tens of millions of publicity fees on other people's movies?"

He Ben also wanted to take this opportunity to teach his son a lesson, otherwise he always thought that he was awesome, as if he could call the wind and call the rain.

"How did the big media do it?" He Fang asked.

"Movie theaters all over the country have to hang up your posters, play your trailers in a loop, and release the ones that can be released outdoors. In addition, "Quick Book" must be on variety shows. I will help you get in touch with it. Hu Ying’s name, “Quick Book” should give some face promotion. Your own “Good Voice” will also be featured, and “Quick Girl” will be featured later, I’ll ask if it’s okay, and it’s going to be featured on major entertainment news channels.”

"This is just publicity. As for the filming, let me help you talk about it and let Zhang Qian follow me. No matter how you score more than 15% of the filming, or wait to hit the street."

He Fang became numb after hearing his father's arrangement, it turned out... so complicated.

"However, I don't have that much budget. I only have 200 million publicity fees." He Fang suddenly thought of a question.

"Changsha Tuanhuo Culture asked Huying Group to inject 30% of the capital, and the group paid the money."

"...Ah, no, Dad, you can't help the group cheat your son's shares." He Fang was in a hurry.

"What are you talking about? What do you mean I help the group cheat you? I'm helping you find a backer, don't let others leave you with nothing left. You... still can't see clearly? You Do you think you can conquer the world by registering a company? Do you think you can fool people with just one word of mouth? Do you think you can get people to cooperate with you by writing a copy?" He Ben was furious on the phone.

"What, what do you mean?" He Fang didn't turn the corner.

"Son, you have to learn how to hold your thighs. As a child of Hu Film Studio, you contribute to the film group, but you start the company and the income has nothing to do with the group. Do you really think that the resources are free? Secretary Gu is looking for me Talking, you are so generous in giving shares to your friends, but you don’t know how to use the shares to bind a real thigh? Don’t you know how to hug the thigh of Huying Group? What kind of brain are you?” He Ben finally started to teach son.

Don't let He Fang go crazy to the brink of madness, it is estimated that he will only get disgusted by him if he teaches He Fang, and now for this sake, teaching him a lesson is to let him deeply understand what reality is.

"But, I, the company doesn't want to be interfered with..." He Fang said dissatisfied.

"Interests are negotiated. The group signs an agreement with you, the group takes a stake, and does not interfere with management. Didn't you learn so many advanced methods in the United States? Look at those start-ups in the United States, the management right after the investment is not still your own Yes? You can negotiate with the group, I don’t care, I’m just responsible for conveying the opinions of the superiors. By the way, don’t think about withdrawing Tuanhuo Culture’s shares in Xingyao Company. Son, the world is all about exchanging interests Yes, do you think the group is looking at you, a film company that has never made a movie before? Mango TV makes so much money, our Huying Group is not jealous? Your "Voice" is now as popular as "Fast Girl" Poor, the group leaders saw it and didn’t want to divide it? Fang Yazi, don’t be stupid, think about why a movie like "Perfect and Nine Beauties" has won more than 5000 million box office, and the whole Hunan Radio and Television has given support. The contract Once signed, the rest of the publicity and distribution of Huying Group will be handled by you, choose a good schedule and arrange the film well, so the film will be a success."

He Ben was afraid that He Fang would still be stubborn and refused to cooperate, so he had to clarify some things.

"I just want to prove that I can achieve things with my own talent..." He Fang was a little unwilling.

"Oh, your personal talent? That's right, you have a bit of talent. But without my support, without the support of Huying Group, would your movie be able to go smoothly? Without the presence of Huying Group, Guo Zhaosheng trusts you so much? Just Saying that you are doing "The Voice", do you think you can make things happen just by flicking your mouth on both sides? "The Voice" has such a big publicity, Mango TV hasn't suppressed it? There is no such thing as us asking you to meet Zhejiang TV Director Lian, would he trust you as a brat? He Fang, a little bit of talent is your capital, but you are not proud of it. At least everyone is willing to help you and invest in you, but if you just don’t want to share the results, then It would be dangerous."

"..., well, well, then I'll come back tomorrow and talk to the group about it." He Fang was helpless, but he wasn't a middle-school boy, and now he finally understood that just because he was a second-generation boy with some resources, he wanted to make money. is difficult.

What He Ben said was right, Huying Group would be stupid not to hug such thick thighs.He thought that he was the only one who harvested others, but he didn't expect that the master had already hooked him, and others had already figured it out, and reality would make He Fang take the initiative to bite the hook.
