........
【3.6 billion, a small goal!】
Modu Entertainment: "Yesterday, Hengyu Media held a celebration banquet in the imperial capital to celebrate the total box office of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" in the mainland exceeding 3 billion. At the dinner, director Fang Ziheng personally revealed that the new film "Immortal" will be released in the Lunar New Year next year.
, and set a small goal, with an expected total box office of 3.6 billion!"
【Mythical masterpiece, set sail!】
Sina Entertainment: "With a total investment of up to 500 million RMB, the project of "Immortality", a mythical special effects blockbuster known as unprecedented, has been officially launched. The number one Chinese director Fang Ziheng will launch a nationwide audition to select suitable roles for the film in the near future!"
[One step a year, Fang Ziheng points to 4 billion!]
NetEase News: "Last October, the international director Fang Ziheng announced two new films in one go, a realistic medical theme "I'm Not the God of Medicine" and a mythical blockbuster "Immortal."
As of today, the total box office of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has successfully exceeded 3 billion, becoming the top box office champion in Chinese film history.
The second new film "Immortal" is about to be launched. The mythological theme is also a new theme that director Fang Ziheng is trying again.
At last night's celebration banquet for the God of Medicine, director Fang Ziheng was interviewed by reporters and boldly declared that his new film would cost 4 billion, vowing to deliver a mythical masterpiece to the public!"
[Unspeakable, Fang Ziheng once again dominates the summer season!]
[Fang Ziheng is the only one in the Three Billion Club!]
[Fang Ziheng calls on the entertainment industry to boycott independence and evil artists!]
[Hengyu Media Group issued an internal notice to ban independent artists!]
[Start from me, stay clean and respect yourself, and stick to the moral and legal bottom line! 】
As soon as the celebration banquet ended, the situation at the scene was announced by the media and spread quickly.
3.6 billion!
4 billion!
The report, which contained pictures and revealed the truth, shocked countless colleagues in the industry who did not attend the dinner.
Compared to movie fans and netizens watching the excitement, colleagues know better what a box office of 4 billion is.
It’s really not that they look down on Fang Ziheng or Chinese movies!
A box office of 4 billion is not at the same level as a box office of 2 billion or 3 billion. A sudden increase of 1 billion in box office will lead to a qualitative change.
Just like "I'm Not the God of Medicine", "Tang Detective 2", "Hong Kong", "The Great Wall", and "Transformers 4", the two sides are not opponents on the same level at all.
The reason why "The God of Medicine" can reach the height of 3 billion is entirely due to the theme of the movie, which aroused national attention and discussion.
What's in "Immortality"?
Is it impossible to rely on mythological themes and special effects blockbusters to take off!
Zhou Xingchi's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and this year's Spring Festival release "Havoc in Heaven" are both mythological themes. One of them is a comedy, and it only received 1 billion at the box office.
Although you, Fang Laoliu, are making progress every year and the box office is growing at a very fast rate, but you want to break the 4 billion limit with an unknown mythical film, are you afraid that you are not in the right place?
Don’t believe it, we don’t believe it!
Many colleagues were the first to have doubts after seeing the report.
However, everyone did not believe it, so they did not stand up to cause trouble. Instead, they posted support on Weibo and looked forward to "Immortal" meeting the audience as soon as possible.
Look, this is human nature!
Movie fans and netizens are different. It’s very enjoyable to just watch.
Not to mention that Fang Ziheng only shouted 3.6 billion, even if he really shouted 4 billion or 5 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 3.6 billion, I give full marks for this pretense!"
"Awesome, look at this tone and attitude, other directors would probably only dare to think about it in their dreams!"
"Jiang Min was interviewed by reporters a few days ago. In response to the box office expectations of "One Step Away", she reported a figure of 1.5 billion. At that time, I thought Jiang Min was exaggerating. Now it seems that Jiang Min is still conservative!"
"If I didn't mention it above, I would have forgotten that "Monster Hunt" controlled by LeTV is known as a big production with a big cast. During the launch conference, it only dared to claim a box office of 1 billion. Compared with Fang Ziheng, everyone is simply not too sober.
!”
"Hey, man, Monster Hunt is having a hard time giving birth!"
"Not to mention anything else, I am convinced by Fang Ziheng just for boycotting pro-independence. He is the only one in the entertainment industry who has stood up to respond and dared to call on the entire industry to boycott!"
"You can't blame other people. Uncle Long is still here, so we all have to give some face to our seniors. Besides, Uncle Long doesn't want to express his stance anymore, so he won't care about that treacherous son anymore!"
"Okay, let's not talk about those unlucky things, let's talk about the plot of "Immortality"."
"Let's talk die. Don't look at whether Fang Laoliu is singing a high note or not. He is very clever. When did you see him reveal the inside story of the movie in advance?"
"Damn it, I really want to crack open Fang Laoliu's head and see what the movie with an estimated box office of 3.6 billion will look like in advance?"
"Count me in, tonight we will go to Hengyu headquarters to block Fang Laoliu!"
"Isn't that stupid upstairs? If you want to block her, you're blocking Hengyu's beautiful star. Blocking a grown man is useless!"
"Ahhhh, I just want to know who will star in "Immortal". I hope Sissi will be the heroine!"
"Roll it thickly, and the micro powder is my first choice, Da Mi Mi!"
"What about Qianqian, what about Mimi, is it Li Qin who is not fragrant, or Jiang Shuying who is not beautiful!"
"Draw your sword, everyone, the heroine must be me, the flower of wealth!"
"The heroine must be my great Qingyi Lion, whoever agrees and who disagrees!"
"I object, just pretend that my iron son doesn't exist!"
"Sissi: Come on together!"
Under the major topics, movie fans and netizens, after skipping the initial happiness, became concerned about the specific situation of "Immortality".
Among mythological masterpieces, except for the TV series "The Legend of the Gods" and "Journey to the West", there is no other work that is shocking and classic enough.
"The Legend of Shushan" is the only film with new ideas. It still belongs to the category of fairy tales and does not belong to the ranks of myths.
"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was originally quite good, but it followed a comedy approach, which was very different from the mythological theme.
As for "Havoc in Heaven", forget about it!
Overall, netizens are full of expectations for "Immortal" and hope that Fang Ziheng will make a mythical movie with unique Chinese characteristics.
After all, as a child, which Chinese person has never yearned for the gods that come and go in the sky.
........
After the celebration banquet, Fang Ziheng took his sister back to the hotel directly.
August 18th.
He climbed out of the gentle fragrance, rubbed his waist and came to Hengyu headquarters.
This week, he left the palace and ran to both sides of the duplex building, living a comfortable life with clothes on his hands and food on his hands.
The four beauties, Lin Feifei, Zeng Li, Andy and Song Yi, have many different arrangements and combinations.
Hengyu Headquarters.
As soon as he stepped into the chairman's office, secretary Fang Rou came in and told Director Guo Fan and 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, walked to the rest room, opened the summer refrigerator, and picked out a can of Jianlibao, which he usually likes to drink.
Snapped...
Gulu gulu.
"Ah... it feels so good, it still smells like after hours!"
Fang Ziheng wiped his lips and carried several bottles of Jianlibao to the sofa in the guest area and sat down.
Dongdong..
After a while, Fang Rou came in with Guo Fan, Tian Xia Ba Sing, and another screenwriter.
"Hello, Chairman!"
"Lao Guo, Ba Chang, come and sit down. What do you want from me?"
Fang Ziheng nodded towards the three of them, pointed to the sofa in front of him, and asked directly.
"Chairman, we are here to ask you to look at me."
Guo Fan and Tian Xia Ba Chang 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 take a look." Fang Ziheng took the document and said with some surprise.
In less than a month, the second draft of the script was completed?
Immediately, he opened the document and read it carefully.
