Chapter 161 High-profile movie viewing party!
.........
"Song Dynasty."
"Jiang Zhiqiang."
Fang Ziheng whispered their names softly, the corners of his mouth raised, and a smile appeared on his calm face.
He knows these two people.
In the Chinese film industry, almost everyone knows the names of Song Dynasty and Jiang Zhiqiang.
Hong Kong Island Yindu Institution Co., Ltd.!
It is the only state-owned enterprise that goes beyond the mainland and undertakes the production, promotion and distribution of mainland, Hong Kong and overseas film and television dramas.
Many films cannot pass the censorship review process, but banks can. This naturally has a fatal temptation for Hong Kong films and co-productions.
As the head of the Yindu institution, one can imagine his status in the industry in the Song Dynasty.
Jiang Zhiqiang is also a senior figure!
He is Li Bian, the producer and overseas distributor of Lao Mouzi, who single-handedly created the blockbuster era of Chinese-language films.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Hero", "House of Flying Daggers", the driving force behind these costume blockbusters is Jiang Zhiqiang.
In Chinese-language movies, when it comes to understanding the eight major Hollywood film companies, Jiang Zhiqiang ranks second, while no one dares to rank first.
Director Han invited these two people to watch the movie because he also wanted to promote the "Four Famous Catchers"!
The positioning of "The Big Four 1" has been determined early in the preparation, and we strive to have a full regional release in the domestic and Southeast Asian markets.
Overseas, European and American countries adopt a copyright sales strategy.
The three of them arrived at the small screening room and heard leisurely chatter and laughter coming from inside before they even entered.
In the screening room, Wang Zhongjun and Jiang Zhiqiang gathered together and whispered about overseas opinions on costume blockbusters and the recent market feedback.
Huayi is getting richer and richer, and he is also thinking about making a costume blockbuster to test the waters and continue to boost Huayi's stock.
Wang Zhongjun's abacus was ringing. Anyway, with the "Four Famous Catchers" in front of him, if there was really any trouble, he could stop the loss in time.
On the other side, Song Dynasty was also talking to several familiar theater directors, talking about the movies released in the summer.
The implication behind the words is that these theater chains are asked to raise a hand and get more film schedules for the films distributed by Yindu institutions in the mainland.
In addition to Song Dynasty and Jiang Zhiqiang, there is also a tall, middle-aged woman with a dignified temperament and a somewhat European and American style.
The woman looked to be in her forties, dressed gorgeously, holding an expensive handbag, sitting alone on a chair drinking tea.
She sat quietly with a confident and elegant smile on her face, not caring at all about the glances cast by men like Wang Zhongjun from time to time.
The door of the screening room was pushed open, and Director Han walked at the front with a kind face and offered his hands to everyone.
"Everyone, welcome to China Film Group."
"Director Han!"
"Director Chen."
"Director Fang!"
Everyone stood up quickly and came over to say hello.
Song Dai walked up to Fang Ziheng, reached out his hand, and smiled softly: "Director Fang, you and I have been close friends for a long time, and we finally met in person."
"Mr. Song, you are very polite. Thank you for your help with "The Unknown" and "Tang Detective"!" Fang Ziheng held his hands with Song Dynasty and said in a sincere tone.
Yindu Agency successively obtained the Hong Kong Island distribution rights and Southeast Asian copyrights for two of his films, making a lot of money and creating tens of millions in revenue for Hengyu.
The two have never met before, and they can indeed be said to have been close friends for a long time.
Behind Song Dynasty, Jiang Zhiqiang narrowed his eyes and looked at Fang Ziheng indifferently.
young!
Handsome!
Two terms emerged from the bottom of Jiang Zhiqiang's heart. With such appearance and temperament, he should become a star!
Taking a closer look, Jiang Zhiqiang's eyes lit up.
When the young man in front of him faced Director Han, Song Dynasty, Wang Zhongjun, and other theater leaders, his expression was calm and he was not humble and did not say a word!
The conversation was filled with laughter and laughter, and there was no impatience of young people or the anxiety of newcomers.
Too..
At the age of 23, he became the top box-office champion of mainland movies and TV shows!
How could such a young and talented director not have a few skills?
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhiqiang took a step forward and prepared to have a good chat with Fang Ziheng. If "Famous Four" is really a movie, he would not mind being the matchmaker again and pushing the movie to be distributed overseas.
However, before he could speak, the middle-aged woman who had been sitting still came over first, smiling and extending her hand towards Fang Ziheng.
"Hello, Director Fang, nice to meet you!"
"My name is Deng Wendi!"
Deng Wendi!
It's her!
Not only did Fang Ziheng feel a move in his heart, but several people who were unfamiliar with the middle-aged woman were also surprised.
Why did she come here free?
Even Director Han cast a curious look at the middle-aged woman.
Deng Wendi!
The current wife of Rupert Murdoch, chairman of American News Corporation, is the vice president of 20th Century Fox Film Company.
Known as ‘a legendary Chinese woman’!
Such a "powerful" figure came to China Film and Television to participate in the viewing party of "The Big Four", which made people think a lot.
Jiang Zhiqiang stopped walking and stood quietly aside with a smile on his face.
He and Deng Wendi have known each other for many years. Many of the films released by Anle Films overseas were supported by this legendary woman.
"Hello, Mr. Deng!"
Fang Ziheng's eyes flashed slightly, and he looked at Deng Wendi with a smile on his face and said, "You are welcome to come from afar to attend the viewing party of "Four Famous Catchers"."
The arrival of the wife of an international media tycoon really caught him by surprise.
If his guess is correct, Deng Wendi must have just worked at News Corporation and is in urgent need of performance to stabilize his status and power!
She came over to attend the viewing party of "The Big Four"!
It's just for performance and to prove her ability to 20th Century Fox Film Company.
The two exchanged a few polite words, and Deng Wendi stepped aside and came to Han Dong's side, smiling and spreading his hands.
Fang Ziheng: "......"
Damn it!
Dong Han’s power and prestige have not diminished, and he will continue to grow stronger!
Fang Ziheng suppressed his smile and took the initiative to greet Jiang Zhiqiang: "Director Jiang, I didn't expect you to come here too?"
"Director Han told me that a talented director has emerged from the Mainland and has just shot a wonderful costume blockbuster. It is definitely not to be missed."
"I came here today, firstly because I wanted to get to know Director Fang, and secondly because I came with high expectations for "Four Famous Catchers"."
Jiang Zhiqiang is very talkative and speaks in a slow and logical manner. In just two or three sentences, he expresses his intention and gently gives Fang Ziheng a thumbs up, making people unknowingly like him and reduce their defensiveness.
The two of them were talking and laughing, and came to the seats in the theater one after another.
In terms of power and connections, Jiang Zhiqiang may not be as powerful as Deng Wendi, but he has been involved in overseas distribution for many years, and the connections he has accumulated cannot be underestimated.
He was able to sell a movie called "Three Guns" for 18 million U.S. dollars, and his methods and temperament are by no means ordinary.
When dealing with him, Fang Ziheng had to be very alert and did not dare to reveal his prospects for "Four Famous Catchers" at all.
Everything will be known after the movie viewing party!
............
Ten minutes later, the screening room became quiet.
Fang Ziheng took out the master tape of "Four Famous Catchers" and handed it to the staff, and then the old man sat down on the chair.
Next to him, Chen Yu and Wang Zhongjun sat on the left and right, staring at the master tape with expectant expressions on their faces.
Wang Zhongjun looked at the four people in the row in front of him: Han Dong, Deng Wendi, and Song Dynasty Jiang Zhiqiang. He turned his head and said in a low voice: "Director Fang, today's movie viewing standards are very high."
He has been in the industry for so many years, and he has only seen such a scale at Feng Pants's "The Night Banquet" viewing party.
Although there was no Deng Wendi at that time, there were three people with overseas hair styling skills.
Chen Guofu, Jiang Zhiqiang, and Song Dynasty all attended the small viewing of "The Night Banquet".
That is to say, after "The Banquet", Chen Guofu resigned from the position of distribution director of Columbia Pictures Asia Division and joined Huayi Media.
As for the movies of Li Jian, Lao Mouzi and Chen Daren, Wang Zhongjun was not invited to watch them at all.
"Don't be impatient, Mr. Wang. No matter how high the specifications are, it still depends on the effect of the finished film."
Fang Ziheng smiled lightly and didn't think there was anything wrong.
"Four Famous Catchers" was produced with a cost of 200 million. Not to mention other things, the production cost alone was worth the presence of these people.
After a while, the lights in the movie theater dimmed.
The cursor flashed on the big screen, overlooking the logos of the three production companies Hengyu, China Film and Huayi.
Five seconds later...
The big screen lights up.
Chapter completed!
