Chapter 124 Casting and Project Establishment
..........
Two movies!
Double opening?
real or fake!
Many people were shocked and subconsciously thought that Fang Ziheng was bragging.
Making a movie, not a TV series, requires at least five or six months of pre-production and post-production.
Even if you are a quick shooter, you can't accomplish anything within three or four months!
Unless it's a small-budget movie with an investment of tens of millions.
Many colleagues in the industry frowned and stared at Fang Ziheng, wanting to hear what he was up to.
There are even more people with looks of anticipation on their faces, wanting to know what the themes of Fang Ziheng's two new films are.
"Director Fang, what are the themes of the two new films?"
"Director Fang, comedy, is there any comedy in the two films?"
"Director Fang, starting two new projects at the same time, isn't the time too tight?"
"Director Fang..."
Fang Ziheng's words were like opening Pandora, causing a group of reporters in the audience to scream, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Sitting on the table to the right of the center in the first row of the audience were Wang Zhonglei and a group of great directors, including Feng Pengtong, Lao Mouzi, Chen Daren, Mr. Xu, and Uncle Long.
They are the director of this table and the leader of the central table.
And on the left are Wang Zhongjun, Wang Changtian, Yu Dong, Wu Kebo, Li Shaohong, Big Dog Brother, and Andy, a table of film and television executives.
These three tables are the most dazzling positions in the entire banquet hall.
Feng Pants bumped into Wang Zhonglei next to him, and asked in a low voice: "Leizi, has Huayi won Hengyu's new project?"
"No, are you still talking?"
Wang Zhonglei shook his head, glanced at the directors, and said quickly: "The Four Famous Catchers" was chosen by China Film Group Corporation. Even if we can grab a share, it won't be too much. It's the second project that Fang Ziheng mentioned.
, quietly, and worthy of attention.”
Feng Tongtong is the backbone of Huayi and an individual shareholder. He has a very good relationship with Wang Zhonglei.
Huayi will send a copy of many decisions regarding film and television projects to Feng Pants after they are made.
In recent months, Hengyu has been preparing for the "Four Famous Catchers" project. This news is not difficult for a few people in the industry to find out.
However, the project has not been approved and Hengyu has not held a press conference. Many people are watching and waiting.
Huayi was the first to know about this project and wanted to participate in the investment.
Lao Mouzi, Chen Daren and others all found out through different channels that Hengyu was going to make a costume blockbuster.
Feng Tongtong thought for a few seconds and said decisively: "Leizi, my suggestion is to win "Four Famous Catchers"!"
Be sure to win "Four Famous Catchers"!
As soon as these words came out, not only Wang Zhonglei, Lao Mouzi, Chen Daren, Old Monster Xu, and Uncle Long also showed strange expressions.
It’s just a period film, is it necessary?
None of these directors has ever made a costume movie.
Even Uncle Long, who is an actor, has also filmed a blockbuster movie "Myth"!
Is necessary!
Of course it is necessary!
As the most successful commercial director at present, Feng Pants' ideas are naturally different from others.
He is a director who pays great attention to the script!
I will never modify a script without any reason. Even if I modify it, I will find out the problems in it.
In one case, "Earthquake" has not yet been released, Feng's pants have not yet flown, and now his mind is very clear.
He has watched "The Unknown" and "Tang Detective" and is very aware of Fang Ziheng's screenwriting skills.
"Four Famous Catchers" is a suspenseful martial arts film and has very high requirements for the script.
If it were any other director, Feng Pants wouldn't dare to define it.
Fang Ziheng is different. As long as the production costs are controlled well, it is definitely worth the investment.
Of course, Feng Pants is not stupid and would not express his thoughts in person.
He gave Wang Zhonglei a wink and stopped talking. The old god looked towards the stage.
As expected by many, Fang Ziheng announced his third project.
Costume blockbuster, "Four Famous Catchers"!
As for the fourth project?
Sorry, keep it secret for now!
No matter how many questions the reporters asked, Fang Ziheng refused to speak. He just said, "You will know after a while," and then strode off the stage.
A celebration banquet must have the atmosphere of a celebration banquet.
Why are you talking about so much else?
The reporters were so angry that they wanted to open Fang Ziheng's head and dig out all his secrets.
There were also voices of discussion in the banquet hall.
Media reporters, guests, film practitioners, celebrities and entertainers, all those who had not heard of the "Four Famous Catchers" project in advance, were now chatting with those around them.
"Tsk tsk...Fang Ziheng's span is a bit big when it comes to making a costume film!"
"Fortunately, "Four Famous Catchers" is a suspenseful martial arts drama. Director Fang's screenwriting ability is obvious to all in "Tang Detective". Suspense elements are his specialty!"
"In ancient costume, I thought Fang Ziheng would continue filming comedies and suspense, but I didn't expect that he is also a person who is unwilling to be lonely."
"Haha, almost all directors will jump into the theme of ancient costumes after completing their preliminary accumulation, and Fang Ziheng is no exception!"
"Just wait and see. Anyway, I'm not optimistic about making a costume film."
"This is no longer the case a few years ago. One "The Promise" has almost blocked the overseas copyright of costume blockbusters. Director Fang is young, so there is no need to be so anxious. It will not be too late to wait for the market in a few years before making further costume films.
!”
Everyone was whispering and talking about their opinions on period films.
After Fang Ziheng stepped off the stage, he first toasted the leaders with a glass of wine and then chatted with several film and television executives.
Finally, he came to the director's table and sat down.
To be honest, he is not quite used to his role as the boss of Hengyu, and he has to be polite every time he interacts with people.
It's better to be a director. If you want to say something in front of the media, you can tolerate it. If you get angry, you can still vent.
It’s so cool!

"Exclusive reveal: Director Fang Ziheng's new film has been confirmed, bringing the suspenseful martial arts novel "Four Famous Catchers" to the big screen!"
"Sina Entertainment brings you the latest news: Fang Ziheng, director of "Tang Detective", revealed at the celebration banquet that two blockbusters will be produced simultaneously next year, one of which will be the suspenseful martial arts film "Four Famous Catchers."
"Yesterday, Hengyu Media held a celebration party for "Detective Chinatown" at the Imperial Hilton Hotel. Director Fang Ziheng personally announced that the next film will be a costume blockbuster!"
"Domestic costume blockbusters are not dead yet, and emerging director Fang Ziheng is full of energy and vows to save costume movies!"
the next day.
The news of Fang Ziheng's new film was reported, and in just one morning it became known all over the Internet.
There are mixed reviews for this on the Internet.
Except for Fang Ziheng's fans, the melon-eaters are automatically divided into two parts.
Some people are very unfavorable and wait for Fang Ziheng to hit the streets.
Some people have reservations and expectations, thinking that as long as the plot is enjoyable, they can give it a try in the suspenseful "Four Famous Catchers".
Movie fans are different. In addition to talking about "Famous Catchers", they are more concerned about Fang Ziheng's other unreleased movie.
Under Fang Ziheng's Weibo, movie fans happily played tricks.
"Brothers, let me make a guess first. The name of the second movie is four words!"
"Guess the four words upstairs, I guess it's an action movie!"
"Action movie? I firmly believe that the second project will be a kung fu movie!"
“Why can’t it be science fiction?”
"Brothers upstairs, wake up, do we have science fiction movies in China?"
Chapter completed!
