What a nonsense!

It seems a bit ridiculous!

What is an aircraft carrier?

A walking war fortress in the ocean!

An indispensable weapon for the modern navy and a symbol of a country's comprehensive national strength!

It's really ridiculous to want the aircraft carrier to be in the camera lens and coordinate with the movie shooting.

"Director Han, if the application for the aircraft carrier cannot be approved, you can just change to a large warship. I am not picky."

Fang Ziheng also felt that the suggestion was awkward and smiled sheepishly.

Director Han smiled and gave him a few false nods, saying he was dishonest.

Afterwards, the two communicated about some shooting scenes.

In addition to requiring battleships to be shot in "Edge of Tomorrow," there are many scenes that also require help from the military.

Actors who play soldiers must also train in advance to achieve the best professional effect.

Director Han is still interested in the investment in "Four Famous Catchers", but he is more optimistic about "Edge of Tomorrow".

Moreover, he did not stop Hua Yi from entering the arena this time.

The total amount of investment in the two blockbusters was so high that China Film and its family really couldn’t afford it.

After the two discussed it, they finally settled on part of the investment.

"Four Famous Catchers" has a total investment of 200 million.

Hengyu invested 80 million, accounting for 55% of the shares, of which Fang Ziheng accounted for 10% of the income as director, screenwriter, and starring.

China Film invested 70 million soft sister coins, accounting for 25% of the shares, and obtained the distribution rights of mainland movies, while enjoying a share of copyrights in Southeast Asia.

Fang Ziheng didn't mention the overseas accounts, and Director Han didn't care. The disaster caused by "The Promise" has been spreading.

For the remaining 20%, depending on the situation, you may not necessarily have to go to Huayi.

"Edge of Tomorrow" has a total investment of 250 million.

Among them, the production budget is 200 million, and Fang Ziheng plans to convert the other 50 million into 3D.

During the Lunar New Year holiday next year, the number of IMAX screens across the country will increase rapidly, and excellent 3D movies will become the best choice for movie fans in the next two years.

In the end, China Film Investment Corporation invested RMB 100 million in "Edge of Tomorrow", accounting for 30% of the total, and also obtained the mainland distribution rights and a proportion of overseas revenue.

From the mainland box office of the two films, China Film earned 5% of the promotion and distribution ratio, and Fang Ziheng finally enjoyed the treatment of a great director.

"Director Han, you still have a good sense!"

He gave Director Han a thumbs up, praising Jiang for being so old and having such a good eye.

For a science fiction film with an investment of 250 million, the only way to make money back is to release it globally and harvest overseas box office.

Fang Ziheng’s idea is to release it globally!

Science fiction films, which belong to the category of future war films, are a fantasy of people all over the world about the future and do not require much humanistic background.

Compared with period films, excellent science fiction films are not very restricted in Europe and the United States. As long as the quality is excellent, a large number of audiences will buy them.

In Fang Ziheng's mind, the summer release of "Four Famous Catchers" could sell the copyright to seduce overseas distribution giants.

"Edge of Tomorrow" is different. There are many sayings in it, which must be determined according to the situation.

After coming out of China Film Academy, Fang Ziheng took the script to the headquarters again.

Sending a script for review is also a hassle.

"Famous" is okay, but "Edge of Tomorrow" will probably take a while to pass the review.

Fang Ziheng could only wait for the review and select suitable actors at the same time, without any delay.

2010, January 28.

Hilton Hotel Wanda Plaza has many uninvited guests.

Three days ago.

Hengyu Media has sent out audition invitations to major domestic Mesozoic stars. The information is very confidential and the invitations are sent directly to the stars and artists’ work mobile phones.

The two blockbusters auditioned together, and there were a lot of celebrities present today.

Except for some artists who really have no schedule, almost all movie stars born in the 1980s came over.

Fang Ziheng drove to the downstairs of the hotel with Lin Feifei, Andy, Wen Muye, the two deputy directors of the production department, Hao Yi and other deputy directors.

On the steps at the door, Xiao Yang, the person in charge of Tiangong Yicai, was already waiting.

When he saw Fang Ziheng, he waved to greet him and said with a smile: "Mr. Fang, Mr. Lin, and Mr. An, hello."

Having received major orders for two films, Tiangong Yicai has shown amazing vitality. These days, it is recruiting people everywhere to strengthen its technical team.

Under Fang Ziheng's guidance, Huayi, Guangxian, and Bona invested another 15 million in Tiangong Yicai, each receiving 5% of the shares.

Hengyu did not show weakness. With Fang Ziheng's consent, Andy invested another 10 million in the company, accounting for 40% of the total shares, becoming the largest shareholder of Tiangong Yicai.

According to Andy's estimation, if he invests up to 20 million, he can completely bring Tiangong's splendor to Hengyu.

With the advent of the 3D era, the expansion of Tiangong Yicai will become faster and faster, and the valuation will definitely skyrocket.

The two bosses, Xiao Yang and Chang Hongsong, are currently living a good life and will not sell their shares at a low price.

Fang Ziheng was not in a hurry. Tiangong's extraordinary splendor had not yet reached its development bottleneck, so he could wait.

"Hello, Mr. Xiao."

Fang Ziheng shook hands with Xiao Yang, introduced Hengyu's backbone to him, and asked with a smile: "How is the exoskeleton? There were no problems during the transportation?"

"Twelve sets have been made, both for men and women. According to your requirements, the height of men is between 1.8 and 1.85 meters, and the height of women is between 1.7 and 1.75 meters. You can adjust the fit at will."

"The delivery was no problem. We assembled it after arriving at the hotel. There was no damage at all."

"Very good, let's go up and have a look."

Fang Ziheng patted Xiao Yang's shoulder with satisfaction and took the lead in stepping into the door of the Hilton Hotel.

Xiao Yang knows more about technology than Chang Hongsong. One is the technical person in charge and the other is the administrative person in charge.

Ding...

The elevator door opened and a group of people stepped in.

"Wait a minute, please wait a minute!"

At this moment, a woman with long hair and sunglasses rushed into the hotel lobby.

The woman was wearing a thick down jacket, a pair of long legs wrapped in jeans, and a pair of black boots.

At first glance, the woman's figure is unusually tall and graceful.

Xiao Yang heard the sound and subconsciously blocked the elevator door with his foot.

"Thanks..!"

The woman quickly walked into the elevator, thanked her, and pressed the elevator button on the 10th floor.

Seeing this, everyone in the elevator was moved and looked at the woman in sunglasses.

This person should be here for an audition.

There were a lot of people in the elevator at this time, with Guang Hengyu and his party numbering eight or nine, plus Xiao Yang and the woman who had just entered, it seemed a little crowded.

Fang Ziheng looked out along the gap and found that his line of sight was blocked, so he stopped paying attention.

Ding..

Soon, the elevator reached the tenth floor.

The woman in sunglasses thanked Xiao Yang again and hurried out of the elevator.

Everyone walked out of the elevator. Andy looked at the woman's back and smiled softly: "Her name is Qiwei. Last year, she won the reputation of one of the four great vases in the selection event held by Tencent and CCTV."

Speaking, Andy glanced at Fang Ziheng.

Fang Ziheng: ".........."

Look at what I do, am I so hungry?

Ignoring Ice Beauty's joke, Fang Ziheng walked straight towards the medium-sized conference room where the exoskeleton was placed in "Edge of Tomorrow".

Hengyu Media took over the entire tenth floor of the Hilton Hotel, with six conference rooms, two large, two medium and two small, which were used to audition actors for "The Big Four" and "Edge of Tomorrow" respectively.

As Fang Ziheng walked away, he explained: "Sister Lin, you first greet Lao Wen over at "The Four Famous Catchers" and send out the audition script according to the role. The audition will be official in two hours."
Chapter completed!
