Entertainment, I only like to make movies

"May I ask Director Fang, what are the themes of the six new films, and will they all be released this year?"

"Director Fang, are the directors of the two new films Bao Qiang and Huang Bo?"

"Director Fang, in previous years, Hengyu Media approved at least 10 new films at the beginning of the year. Why are there so few this year?"

"When will "Longevity" be finished, have you ever thought about opening a new film?"

Fang Ziheng's head felt swollen as he listened to all the questions.

He took two steps back, pressed down with one hand, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, don't get excited, just be quiet for a while, and come one by one. Since you have invited friends from the media, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. Don't worry, okay?"

cut..
What a fool, when did you give our reporter a satisfactory answer to Fang Lao Liu's new film conference?

The reporters pursed their mouths, their faces were dissatisfied, but their bodies were very honest. They obediently retracted their microphones and returned to their seats.

Immediately, Fang Ziheng waved to the left side of the stage.

The door on the left side of the stage was pushed open, and a team of young men and women in sweaters and peaked caps appeared on the stage, carrying up the posters of six new films.

For each of the six new films, two staff members are assigned to wear the crew uniforms of the six films.

"Havoc in Tianzhu".

"A Good Show".

"The Wandering Earth".

"The Romance of Dragon and Snake".

"The Longevity Medicine of Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

"Why Mo Shengxiao".

Six sets of posters were laid out one by one, causing another commotion in the audience, and white lights flickered wildly.

The reporters intercepted the pictures of the poster from various angles, for fear that they would be carried down by the staff if the shooting was too late.

Very good, this taste is what I want.

Fang Ziheng smiled slightly, flicked the microphone with his knuckles, and said in a concentrated voice: "Next, I invite six directors to make their debut and reveal the secrets of their new films for everyone!"

slam
clap clap..
clap clap..
Facing the endless applause, Baoqiang, Huang Bo, Guo Fan, Wen Muye, Wu Ershan, and Su Lun appeared on the stage and appeared in front of the stage.

Fang Ziheng beckoned, and sat down with six people at the table, and the six posters were also carried behind the six people.

One pair for each person, corresponding to their respective films.

suddenly
The sharp-eyed reporter finally discovered the blind spot, his pupils narrowed sharply, his mouth widened and he exclaimed, "Damn it, "The Wandering Earth", isn't that the novel of the same name by Liu?"

"What, that's a science fiction movie!"

"It's more than just sci-fi, it's a hard-core sci-fi blockbuster!"

"Directed by Guo Fan, God... can he do it?"

As the reporter exclaimed, other people in the audience also discovered the explosive point, and subconsciously complained.

On the stage, when Guo Fan heard someone questioning him, his face darkened immediately, and he gave the reporter a hard look.

Can you fucking speak? How can a man say that he can't do it!

"Hehe... It seems that you have discovered it."

Fang Ziheng sat in the central seat, holding the microphone and smiling leisurely, turned sideways and pointed to Guo Fan and the poster behind him.

"Yes, Hengyu Media is preparing a sci-fi movie "The Wandering Earth" based on Liu's novel of the same name, with an initial investment of 4.5 million yuan, and Guo Fan will be the director of the movie."

4.5 billion!
This is still an initial investment, this is serious!
The reporters got excited, and stood up again in a hurry, wanting to ask questions again.

Fang Ziheng immediately handed the microphone to Guo Fan aside, not giving them a chance.

Guo Fan took the microphone, stood up slowly in the eyes of everyone, suppressed the excitement in his heart, looked at the audience and said loudly: ""The Wandering Earth" is a science fiction novel by Liu Cixin. The disaster of the giant star, decided to take the earth to leave the solar system and go to the thrilling journey of Proxima Centauri.

The story is divided into five eras: Brake Age, Escape Age, Vagabond Age I, Vagabond Age II, and New Sun Age. "

"Here, I want to emphasize that the movie will not be shot according to the original novel, we will set the background time in 2075.

In 2075, the Jupiter Crisis, the movie roughly tells the story of a planetary engine failure that prevents the earth from escaping Muxin’s super-gravity. Dish, finally joined the global rescue, the story of saving the earth together. "

Guo Fan talks eloquently, and the more he talks, the more confident he becomes, sometimes explaining his creative ideas and sometimes telling plot ideas.

Behind the stage, a large screen was lit up, and high-tech concept maps of the movie emerged one after another.

This time, Hengyu Media had nothing to hide. It not only promoted the project of "The Wandering Earth" in a big way, but also publicly revealed the plot and concept drawings of the movie.

Now that the copyright has been obtained, Fang Ziheng and Guo Fan are not afraid of being cut off by their peers, or stealing ideas and following suit.

It is not easy for sci-fi movies to be pirated and follow suit. Without an investment of [-] to [-] million yuan, shooting sci-fi movies is nonsense. Let alone people in the industry, the public and movie fans are the first to not believe it.

really…

After hearing Guo Fan's narration, the reporters immediately extinguished their thoughts of questioning. The so-called experts will know if there is any as soon as they go out.

Guo Fan's ideas, shooting concept, and the fiery light in his speaking eyes all made everyone feel excited and excited.

As journalists in the entertainment industry and the film and television industry, they more or less understand the production process of a movie.

Guo Fan's seriousness, adhering to Hengyu Media's concept of creating high-quality content, adhering to the originality of the older generation of filmmakers who make movies with heart.

No matter how much they exaggerate or flatter after they return, at this moment, they were all infected by Guo Fan's explanation.

They are all from Huaguo. If Huaguo sci-fi movies can really rise, they can also be proud as non-staff members of the industry.

Of course.

If "The Wandering Earth" hits the street and Guo Fan fails to shoot well, it will be another accident.

These uncrowned kings will let Guo Fan know what it means to pretend to be struck by lightning.

Now, I'll just trust you once!
.........

After Guo Fan passed, it was the turn of Wen Muye and Wu Ershan, who successively published their creative ideas for "The Romance of the Dragon and Snake" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Longevity Medicine".

Wen Muye is okay, after all, he has directed the "Manslaughter" series, "National Security 1", "Detective Chinatown 2", and has become another rising director in the Chinese film industry.

This time, directing the national art theme "The Romance of the Dragon and Snake" is escorted by five giant film and television companies, Hengyu, Huayi, Bona, Guangxian, and Wanda Films. As long as the film is qualified, there is almost no need to worry about failing at the box office.

The only worry is whether Wen Muye can capture the taste of martial arts in the novel and create a sense of martial arts.

The reporters were more worried about "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Longevity Medicine", or they questioned Wu Ershan just like they questioned Guo Fan just now.

This kind of questioning is not worried about Wu Ershan's lack of ability, but worried about whether the other party can make a second part that satisfies the public on the basis of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Finding the Dragon".

After all, the director of the first film was Fang Ziheng!

With Yuzhu in front, the public is looking forward to the second part even more, not to mention surpassing the first part, it can't be worse.

Wu Ershan also knows that everyone doubts him, but he is full of confidence, telling the concept of film creation and the artistic conception of the picture at his fingertips, completely like an old driver.

Beside, Fang Ziheng smiled without saying a word, quietly watching Wu Ershan change the reporter's opinion of him little by little.

In the last life, after directing "Painted Skin 2", Wu Ershan set his sights on "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", which can be called a leader in Chinese magic and fantasy-themed movies.

Moreover, Wu Ershan also spent 30 billion to film the Fengshen trilogy movie.

If he didn't have a few brushes, which film and television company would dare to invest!
Later, Su Lun, Bao Qiang, and Huang Bo also talked about the outline of the story of the movie.

The actors for these three films have all been selected, and it won't be long before it starts up, and I'm not afraid of being snatched away by others.

Near noon, Hengyu Media invited the reporters who arrived to have lunch at the hotel, and the press conference did not end until after two o'clock.

On the Internet, the reporters had already publicized the ready-made situation of the press conference, creating a commotion.

Countless sci-fi fans, Ghost Blowing Lantern fans, and Dragon and Snake fans went berserk and flocked to the Weibo topic.

"Fuck, I'm not dreaming, right? Hengyu Media actually wants to adapt Da Liu's "The Wandering Earth"?"

"4.5 million investment, the investment is not small, but it is too difficult, I hope Guo Fan will make a good film, and don't mess up Da Liu's work!"

""The Wandering Earth" is definitely hard science fiction. Apart from Fang Ziheng's "Edge of Tomorrow" in Huaguo, this is the second true science fiction movie, right?"

"No, no, Shen Ji's "The Romance of Dragon and Snake" is really about to start filming. Who will play Tang Zichen? She is my true love, so I must choose a good actress!"

"Relax, it's easy to find a female character, just be pretty, have a temperament, and know how to fight. On the contrary, Wang Chao's grade is very difficult to find a suitable actor!"

"Nimma.. The second part of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is finally here, I'm all thankful for the flowers I've been waiting for!"

"Fang Lao Liu is not directing, but Wu Ershan is replaced, can he do it?"

"After reading Wu Ershan's resume, I think it's quite powerful. This guy is the director of "Painted Skin 2"."

"Haha.. I laughed. Bao Qiang and Huang Bo also want to be directors. Is the threshold for being a director so low now?"

"What is Fang Ziheng doing? The company has so many contracted directors, how come Bao Qiang and Huang Bo are allowed to come on board? Even if Heng Yu's film director is not available, what about those TV directors? Aren't they better than two comedians?"

"Don't make noise, let's discuss "The Wandering Earth". I still think it's too difficult to shoot now, and I'm worried that the shooting technology can't keep up."

"The film and television base built by Hengyu can meet the shooting of most science fiction films. The special effects are amazing. This company is the only company in Huaguo that can match world-class special effects. I don't worry about shooting technology or special effects. I only worry about Guo Can Fan tell the story well? By the way, who is the screenwriter?"

"Quack.. There are a lot of screenwriters for "The Wandering Earth". The first name is Da Liu, the second is Guo Fan, the third is Ziheng, and the fourth is Hengyu Literary Screenwriting Department!"

"That's fine. With a total investment of 4.5 million yuan, as long as the filming is done well, the finished film will definitely be worth looking forward to."

"Exciting, today is really enjoyable, "The Wandering Earth" and "The Romance of the Dragon and Snake" are going to be made into movies, plus "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Longevity Medicine", there are at least three movies worth looking forward to next year!"

"Wrong, there are four, and Master Xing's "The Mermaid"!"

"Five, and Fang Ziheng's "Longevity"!"

"Fart, "Longevity" will be released at the end of this year, you moved the movie to next year?"

Fiction fans, science fiction fans, movie fans, thousands of netizens are extremely excited and join the discussion army.

The discussion posts were piled on top of each other like a heavy snowfall, reaching over a million views in just a few hours.

Among the three movies, "The Wandering Earth" and "The Immortal Medicine of Ghost Blowing the Lamp" are the most watched.

One is a science fiction film, which has a large number of novel fans.

Although the author of the novel, Liu, has not yet won the Hugo Award, he is the most well-known science fiction writer in China, and is regarded as the No. 1 science fiction writer in China by many science fiction fans.

The fame of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is not small, even greater. With the blessing of novels, TV series, and the first movie, it has accumulated no less than tens of millions of viewers.

After more than two years, the second part has finally started filming. How can people not be excited?

On the contrary, the new film by Bao Qiang, Huang Bo, and Su Lun did not receive much discussion from the audience, or it could be said that the popularity was suppressed by the first three films.

Only by waiting for the movie to be released, can the momentum of strong determination really erupt.

With such a big battle in Hengyu, not to mention netizens, the major film and television companies also looked sideways.

Apart from the few participating in the press conference, other film and television companies have inquired more about the situation, including Alibaba Pictures and Tengxun Pictures.

Alibaba Pictures is an old rival.

Fan Luyuan, the chairman, has never been convinced by Fang Ziheng and Hengyu Media, and has always been a hard steel.

Relying on the backing of Alibaba, he shows his teeth and claws in the entertainment circle, and looks arrogant all day long.

No, Fan Luyuan's mind became active when he saw that Hengyu had approved six films at the same time.

He looked around the film director, and found Teng Huatao, whom he had taken a fancy to before, and asked him if he had any good ideas and creativity.

Teng Huatao was ecstatic, and rushed to the headquarters of Alibaba Pictures with a few novels in his arms.

three novels
"Dragon Clan", "Magic City Fortress", "Three-Body Problem".

In the chairman's office of Ali Pictures, Teng Huatao's face was rosy, and he said excitedly to Fan Luyuan: "Fan Dong, I think so, since Hengyu Media invested 4.5 to shoot "The Wandering Earth", it means that Fang Ziheng and them both have their eyes on science fiction. The film has a head.

I think we can also shoot, both "Magic City Fortress" and "Three-Body Problem" will do! "

"Which one do you want to make?"

Fan Luyuan was very interested. He took over the three novels, put "Dragon" aside casually, and opened "Magic City Fortress" first.

It's not that "Magic City Fortress" is more famous than "Three-Body Problem", but that Fan Luyuan knows that "Three-Body Problem" is more difficult to shoot, and the difficulty of shooting is two or three grades higher than "The Wandering Earth".

He is arrogant, but he is not stupid. If the movie cannot be made, Ali's big data is useless even if it is strong.

Faced with the question, Teng Huatao stroked his thoughts, and said in a concentrated voice: ""Dragon Race" is a series, and the adaptation is also a big project. There is no rush. The high technology in "Three-Body" is too incredible. Let alone domestic, even Hollywood There is no way to get this novel.”

"My personal idea is to shoot "Magic City Fortress" first. First, the difficulty of adaptation is low. Second, the shooting time is not long. Third, the production budget will not be too high.

To tell you the truth, Fan Dong, I still need to improve in film, even if you ask me to start "Three-Body Problem", I still can't handle it, I would rather shoot "Magic City Fortress" to exercise myself! "

It has to be said that Teng Huatao is a lobbyist with the cunning of a literati in his bones.

A few fluttering words, taking retreat as an advance, humbly self-deprecating, instantly made Fan Luyuan look at him with admiration.

Compared with Lu Chuan, who is boastful, Fan Luyuan and those who like Teng Huatao are direct and modest.

Especially the last sentence: I am more willing to shoot "Magic City Fortress" to exercise myself.

This sentence hit Fan Luyuan instantly!

They Ali Pictures, since its establishment, did they use money to practice in the entertainment industry!

Fan Luyuan put down the novel, his eyes were condensed, he fixedly looked at the young director in front of him, and kept muttering in his heart.

"Fang Ziheng can train new directors, why can't I?"

"Besides, Teng Huatao has good director experience and is not very old, so he has more training value than ordinary rookies!"

"It's him!"

With almost no thought, Fan Luyuan made a decision and agreed to invest in Teng Huatao's new movie.

"Magic City Fortress".

The total investment is 5000 million, which is [-] million more than "The Wandering Earth".
