"good!"

"No one is willing to admit defeat, which is good. As a director, of course I am with you!"

Fang Ziheng stood up and smiled happily.

The tempers of the main creators were finally lifted.

"This year's annual box office champion, our "The Secret of the Dragon" is about to be determined!"

"Yes, it's decided!"

"Come on everyone, let's win the championship together!"

"Starting from tomorrow, the crew will start work one hour earlier and finish get off work one hour later every day. We will try to finish filming before September to reserve more time for post-production special effects!"

"No problem, director, I will be the first to arrive at the set tomorrow!"

"Director, just look at it, we will definitely not fall behind!"

In this way, with the help of Liu Qianqian, the depressed atmosphere of the past few days was completely eliminated. Whether it was the actors or the ordinary staff, everyone was screaming.

Fang Ziheng kept his promise and came to the set at 7 o'clock in the morning these two days and started work an hour early.

It’s impossible not to do it in advance. If “Searching for the Dragon” wants to catch up with the Lunar New Year release in December, it must finish filming before September, leaving at least three months of post-production time.

He has already made up his mind to shoot according to the schedule first and try to catch up with the Lunar New Year schedule. If he can't make it, he will stick to the Spring Festival schedule.

Under Fang Ziheng's special efforts, the crew of "Searching for the Dragon" became much more tense, like a clockwork alarm clock, not wasting any time.

Liu Ye, Liu Qianqian, Huang Bo, Xia Yu, Liu Jialing, and Zou Zhaolong no longer complained. They started shooting on time every day, put on makeup in advance, and rehearsed the shooting details of the day in advance.

The crew of "The Secret of the Dragon" is working in full swing, and "Transformers 3" is still brilliant.

In the second week, it earned 370 million RMB coins, and the total box office in the 11 days after its release was as high as 787 million.

The box office is extremely strong, so terrifying, suffocating and frightening.

"Manslaughter 1" performed steadily and did not get disrupted by the strength of "Transformers 3". It once again received 50 million box office in seven days, and the total box office reached 390 million RMB.

"Modern Times" was a complete hit, with a weekly box office of less than 20 million and a total box office of only 80 million.

Theaters responded to the trend and once again adjusted their film schedules, with "Transformers 3" exclusively occupying 60%, "Manslaughter 1" 25%, and the remaining films sharing a total of 15%.

August 15th.

"Manslaughter 1" was released for 25 days, and the total box office successfully reached 420 million.

On August 21, "Manslaughter 1" was released in its fifth week, and once again received a box office of 22 million.

It successfully exceeded 400 million, and the total box office settled at around 460 million.

After the explosion in the first two weeks, "Transformers 3" finally ushered in a big dive.

160 million in the third week, 65 million in the fourth week, and the total box office just exceeded 1 billion.

On this day, endless cheers came from the crew of "The Secret of the Dragon".

Many filmmakers from major film and television companies and the entertainment industry had long-lost smiles on their faces.

"Transformers 3" cannot take away the top spot at the Chinese film and television box office.

With the current box office trend, it is impossible to break the 1.346 billion box office record of "Edge of Tomorrow".

The media didn't care about this. They seemed not to notice the decline of "Transformers 3" and continued to praise the film's bad feet.

What’s more, some went against the wind and hyped up this year’s summer releases, but domestic films failed to hold their ground.

Southern Urban Entertainment was the most popular and came up with the title "The Back Garden of Hollywood Movies".

The following is a long and eloquent discussion, from the film system, film style, film technology, production budget, etc., to criticize the domestic films released in June and July one by one.

Southern Metropolis Entertainment trashes "Martial Arts", "Modern Era" and "Eavesdropping". Even "Manslaughter 1", which cost 30 million to produce and had a box office of 450 million, only said it was commendable.

Finally, Southern Metropolis Entertainment concluded that the summer season has become the domain of imported films and the back garden of Hollywood movies.

The most irritating thing is that this media also @Fang Ziheng, Lao Mouzi, Feng Pengtong, Chen Daren, Uncle Long, and Master Xing one by one on Weibo, secretly asking them what they thought.

At this time, the popularity of "Transformers 3" has just dissipated, and the summer season has come to an end.

The melon-eaters who had finished their online fight and were about to beat the drum and withdraw their troops joined a new round of fighting before they had time to take a breath.

There is only one theme of rivalry, flattering the superior and suppressing the inferior. The director you like is the best, and the rest are all Lu Lu.

Many media outlets also took advantage of the situation and held high the banner of defending the summer season, leading netizens to put six major directors on the fire.

The media shouted: It is because all major Chinese directors have left this year's summer season that Hollywood movies are raging.

From "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" to "Kung Fu Panda 2", from "Harry Potter" to "Transformers 3", one Hollywood blockbuster after another, going to the Chinese film market is like going shopping, letting them choose. .

This is a shame that has never happened before!

In previous summers, no matter how brutal the movies released by Hollywood were, they were not as arrogant as this year when it came to movies from major Chinese directors.

Especially last year, several Hollywood movies released during the summer season were jointly released by Fang Ziheng and Feng Pants.

Various opinions are flying on the Internet, and the general meaning is that the reason for the disastrous failure of this summer's summer movie is all because of the Chinese director's failure to participate in the war.

Good guy!

After seeing this news, Fang Ziheng called him a good guy!

Create something out of nothing and keep it secret.

Just imagine and fabricate things out of thin air.

According to the media, he was shot while lying down without even giving him a chance to defend himself.

Who told you to be so slow in making movies? It’s all your fault that you can’t catch up with the summer schedule!

He was too lazy to talk to the media and concentrated on filming the final scenes of "The Secret of the Dragon" in Qinghai.

Fang Ziheng didn't talk to me. Other directors didn't have such a good temper.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of "1942" to be released, Feng Pants was the first to stand up and fire.

"If there are no tigers in the mountains, monkeys will become kings."

"Next year's summer release, "1942" is waiting for Hollywood movies!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Feng Pants is very ambitious. At the launch conference, in front of a large number of media, he shouted that next summer's "1942" will definitely win 1.2 billion in box office.

Lao Mouzi was the second to speak. Under Fang Ziheng's hesitation, he announced in a high profile that "The Year of Dreams" will be released for the Lunar New Year, vowing to win this year's annual box office championship.

Uncle Long did not show weakness. He accepted the third interview and revealed that he was preparing for "Twelve Zodiacs". Lehehe was scheduled to be the box office champion next year, targeting a box office of 1.5 billion.

besides.

Xu Ke, who was far away in the desert filming "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", was not willing to be lonely. He took Deng Chao and Zeng Li to the scene frequently.

He said that "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" is a martial arts blockbuster that surpasses the top level. It is definitely the favorite to win the Lunar New Year this year, and the box office of 1 billion is not a problem.

The slogans were shouted louder and louder, and the media and the masses went crazy with joy.

Only Chen Da and Xing Ye are relatively low-key, one is licking his wounds, and the other is unable to get out of "Conquering the Demons on the Westward Journey".

...........

September 3rd.

On the day when "The Secret of the Dragon" was finalized, a shocking piece of news plunged the entertainment industry, which had just calmed down, into endless excitement.

After several months of negotiations, Poly Group finally chose to cut the knot quickly and announced to the outside world that it would transfer 51% of the shares of Poly Huayi Media.

Its subsidiaries, Oriental Shenlong Film Company, 15% of Xinbaoyuan's shares, 20% of British Film and Television, and Qiansi Advertising and Land Promotion Company located in first- and second-tier cities across the country, all four companies were sold.

As soon as this news came out, many people in the entertainment industry rushed out to grab this big piece of cake.

Fang Ziheng immediately notified Lin Feifei and Andy and asked them to prepare cash.

He didn't even attend the closing banquet, but drove directly to Qinghai Airport and rushed back to the imperial capital as quickly as possible.

Before he even got on the plane, he received the first call from Lin Feifei. Are the 600 million in cash ready? They can be mobilized at any time.

After getting off the plane, I received a second call from Andy. Baoli made an internal offer of 500 million, with the purpose of selecting a group of speculators.

Early morning on September 4th.

Fang Ziheng returned to the duplex building. The living room was brightly lit, and Lin Feifei and Andy were waiting for him with a stack of documents.

Concubine Lin brought him a glass of warm water and said softly: "You are tired, why don't you take a bath first?"

"No, we'll talk about it later."

Fang Ziheng waved his hand, took the water glass and drank it in one gulp. He took off his coat and sat down on the sofa in the living room. He said, "How is the data collection going?"

"It's all here."

Andy opened several documents, which showed the business scope of Huayi Media and the Four Sons, as well as the financial status and valuation of several companies.

"Based on the current market capitalization, the total value of the five companies is around 370 million RMB. Baoli quoted 500 million, which is completely taking advantage of the investors."

"What about the other investors who entered the market? What happened to them?"
