The general manager's office of Hengyu Media.

Fang Ziheng was lying low on the shore of the table, his expression was focused, and he was drawing a sketch of the tomb palace of "Looking for the Dragon" with a pencil.

He is the director, and the set of the movie naturally has to give full play to his imagination and style first, and after he sets the requirements, the original world Ba Sing and Hengyu Literary Screenwriter will be refined according to the complex of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

After the script was refined twice, it was finalized and submitted to the Film Bureau for approval.

Speaking of which, if a Chinese-style movie wants to be a big hit overseas or even globally, there are not many genres to choose from.

From the source, there are costume blockbusters, kung fu films, martial arts films, and now there is a sci-fi war film "Edge of Tomorrow" focusing on Chinese soldiers.

Among the four genres, there are traces of the story plot of the costume blockbuster, the war scenes are simple and crude, and even foreigners will like and even seek after the big battle scenes even if they don't know the history of China.

Kung fu films need innovation, and they also need superstars who can resist the box office.

The plot of martial arts films is tight and silky, and the fight scenes are full of anticipation and incredible.

Sci-fi war films are even more difficult, requiring not only big scenes, but also top-notch shooting technology and super high production costs.

In one is a literary film, several movies made by Lao Mouzi and Wong Kar-wai have sold millions of dollars in the United States.

Judging from the production cost alone, it does make money, but literary films are niche films, and no matter how good the movie is, the box office can't be high.

Ten years ago, twenty years ago, the box office of millions of dollars may have been awesome.

It's different now, the mainland market often has a box office of hundreds of millions, who cares about millions of dollars overseas.

"Dragon Quest"!

Genghis Khan, a generation of heavenly pride Genghis Khan, buried in a thousand-year-old tomb under Lake Baikal.

Bizarre and bizarre plot, adventure treasure hunting, mysterious!

The combination of the two is also a very attractive theme movie.

After all, movies belong to audio-visual art, and the sense of atmosphere created on the big screen is very important, which can easily make the audience substitute emotions and follow the plot of the picture.

is like a horror movie, a suspense movie, as long as it is scary enough, the audience will buy it.

The story of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is very marketable in every section, and there is no cultural obstacle to putting it overseas.

Foreigners are even of particular interest.

When the Eight-Nation Alliance rushed into the imperial capital and looted the treasures in the Old Summer Palace, so many national treasures are currently scattered overseas and hidden in the hands of countless capitals and families.

In the sixties, seventies and eighties, several overseas countries also set up archaeological teams to come to China to explore tombs and find the source of the so-called story and treasure.

The ancient tombs of China, like the pyramids of Egypt, have an extraordinary attraction to many upper-class elites and middle-class social mainstreams in North America and Europe.

The tomb of Genghis Khan has always been a mystery for thousands of years, and in the eyes of many overseas archaeological enthusiasts, it is full of mystery and endless legends.

This kind of mystery and legend, as long as it is slightly publicized and brought together, will cause a huge discussion topic on the Internet and in society.

For example, Genghis Khan's tomb contains an endless amount of gold from his guns when he brought iron horses and swept across Eurasia.

For another example, there are supreme gods and elixirs in the tomb that can prolong life, cure diseases, and even rejuvenate and immortalize people.

Coupled with a thousand-year-old conspiracy, a gold-touching trio hired by overseas capital, and a vast and mysterious underwater tomb complex.

It's just a live together.

Fang Ziheng's thoughts wandered, the pencil brush in his hand flew, and the thoughts in his mind were fully presented on the A4 paper.

Knock knock..

"Please come in."

"Lao Fang, this week's weekly box office is out."

The offices were pushed away, and Concubine Lin came in with a smile and twisted her thin waist, holding a data report in her hand.

"Oh, I'll see."

Fang Ziheng stopped his pen, got up and did two chest expansion exercises, and took the data sheet while walking out of the desk.

Today is February 21st.

The weekly box office of the mainland market from the 14th to the 20th last week can be said to be the last battle during the Spring Festival.

On the data table, a total of 12 movies are currently released.

First place: "Youth Campus", released for 20 days, with a weekly box office of 17 million and a total box office of 280 million.

Second place: "New Shaolin Temple", released for 20 days, with a weekly box office of 10 million and a total box office of 185 million.

Among the two movies, "Youth Campus" broke 300 million.

Director Su Lun has gone from being unknown to becoming the first female director of the new generation, appearing in the field of vision of major film and television companies.

Da Tiantian, Da Mimi, and Song Yi also became popular again with their movies and officially established themselves in the film field.

20 million small-budget movies, 300 million box office!

As the main coffee, the three of them are also praised by the media as the only three post-85 female artists who can carry the box office alone after Liu Qianqian.

Especially Da Tian Tian and Da Mi Mi, one is the first female number one, and the other is new to the film industry, it is not easy to achieve this result.

Needless to say, Da Tiantian first had "The Four Famous Catches" and "Edge of Tomorrow" as the foundation, and now with the help of "Youth Campus", she has become a new generation of post-85 movie stars, and her career path is better than the previous life.

Da Mi Mi needs "Youth Campus" even more.

In her last life, she starred in the first movie "Imperial Capital Fairy Tale" in 05, followed by "Door" in 07 and "Far Cry" in 11.

None of the three movies made a splash, and it was completely pounced.

After the fire of "Palace", she has starred in or participated in many movies, one more than the other.

In the end, it was only by relying on "Little Times" that he forcibly completed the transformation from TV coffee to movie coffee.

In this life, "Youth Campus" was released two years earlier than "Little Times".

In the past half month, Da Mi Mi has been extremely happy, and her mood is the same as eating honey, harassing Fang Ziheng from time to time.

not only wants to sharpen his fists to overturn Liu Qianqian, but also wants to dominate him, the best performing stock in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Then there is Song Yi, in terms of TV series, there are "Ode to Joy", "You from the Star", and in terms of movies, there are "Nobody" and "Youth Campus".

The little girl has the most stable path, and in the past two years, she has stood firmly in the entertainment industry and become one of the most popular little flowers.

Among all the female artists of Hengyu Media, her coffee position is only below Liu Qianqian and Yang Mi, comparable to Zeng Li's sister, and overwhelms the rest of the female artists.

At present, Liu Qianqian and Yang Mi have not publicly joined Hengyu, and the little girl is the number one sweetheart.

Third place: "Carry on Love to the End", released for 9 days, with a weekly box office of 100 million and a total box office of 134 million.

This movie is adapted from the TV series of the same name, directed by Zhang Yibai, starring Xu Jinglei, Li Yapeng, and Wang Xuebing, one of the Four Flowers, and it is also a romantic drama of urban college students.

Ahem.

Sister Xu is still very charming, and there have been scandals with two male protagonists in a movie, and she is a proper goddess-level winner.

Fourth place: "Deadly Companion" was released for 8 days, with a weekly box office of 68.6 million and a total box office of 82.2 million.

Fifth place: "The Green Hornet" was released for 13 days, with a weekly box office of 43.3 million and a total box office of 120 million.

Two Hollywood movies, and the superhero "The Green Hornet" are the most attention-grabbing.

The second male lead in the movie is Zhou Milk Tea, the king of Chinese music meteors, and this name alone can attract entertainment media to shout.

This is also the best resource that Zhou Milk Tea has won in Hollywood, and the second male protagonist in an A-level commercial movie production can be said to be very rare.

But big productions are big productions, and Fang Ziheng can't understand why a superhero movie is made into a comedy.

Zhou Milk Tea, who is in charge of the fighting action, has little room to play in the movie, and most of the shots are the funny plot of the male protagonist Seth Rogen.

In one, the role played by Zhou Milk Tea is the name of a small day.

As a result, mainland audiences didn't buy it, relying on the fame of Zhou Milk Tea, and barely got a box office of 120 million in 13 days of release.

Some people on the Internet have already scolded Zhou Milk Tea, scolding him for not doing good music, and having to go to Hollywood to play a small day, which is really stupid.

Fang Ziheng browsed the news on the Internet, and analyzed the movie's reputation against the box office on the data sheet.

There is only one conclusion reached.

In the Spring Festival of 2011, "Youth Campus" was invincible!

400 million can't be broken, and more than 300 million is also a beautiful thing.

There is also an eye-catching news on the Internet, "Edge of Tomorrow" was drawn, and the global box office was exploded by the media.

The mainland market was 1.362 billion, about 1.821 US dollars.

$162 million for the North American market.

Asia and Europe, 61 million US dollars.

"Edge of Tomorrow" grossed a total of $405 million at the global box office.

405 million!

Equivalent to 3.037 billion soft sister coins!

However, this time netizens are not as crazy as before, when "Edge of Tomorrow" surpassed "Avatar", there were good things in the media that blew up the overseas box office.

The vast number of netizens and fans estimated the global box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" as early as that day.

It's the same, 3 billion!

The box office share did not come down so quickly, at least it would take a month.

With the release of the movie in February, the box office war of the Spring Festival stalls is also coming to an end, and the dust has settled.

At the beginning of the new year's work, major film companies have started a new round of competitions.

Fang Ziheng held the middle and high-level annual meeting of Hengyu Media to summarize the past and look forward to the future.

affirmed everyone's efforts and gains last year, and hoped that all colleagues of Hengyu would make persistent efforts this year to continue to contribute to the Chinese film and television industry and build a better life of their own.

After the meeting, Fang Ziheng personally gave annual bonuses to more than 100 participants, with 300,000 yuan for one senior executive and 100,000 yuan for middle management.

There are also the following ordinary employees, 50,000 per person.

Concubine Lin, Andy, Wen Muye, and Hao Yi are two million each.

Hengyu's artists, Deng Chao, Wu Jing, Liu Ye, Liu Qianqian, Zeng Li, and Song Yi also have two million each, and the rest of the artists have one million each.

In the end, Fang Zihengguang's bonus was 40 million.

This must be given, you can't have your boss eating meat alone, his mouth full of oil, and the employees below are staring and drooling on the sidelines.

After entering 2011, the Chinese entertainment industry has become more and more prosperous, and there are one person in the circle, as long as they are a little famous, talented and skilled, almost all of them are full of money.

If you are not satisfied with the employees, people will dare to jump ship to show you, and most of them are film and television companies poaching people with high salaries.

At this point, Fang Ziheng saw it very clearly.

In the entertainment industry, interests are eternal!

February 27th.

Fang Ziheng invited Lao Mouzi, Wu Jing, Wen Muye, Hao Yi, and Su Lun to a banquet at home.

Andy, Concubine Lin, and Zeng Li, the three beauties personally helped cook and renovated a large table of delicacies.

Well, there are also Liu Qianqian and Song Yi.

The two oil bottles called early in the morning, muttering that they had to rub rice and respect the old man for a cup.

Lao Mouzi finally made up his mind.

He visited the Hengyu Literary Screenwriting Department twice, and after knocking down "The Year of Dreams" with the screenwriter, he joined Hengyu Media.

Fang Ziheng was also not ambiguous, and immediately took over the wind for Lao Mouzi, and injected capital into his studio, with a 50% share.

For the movies made by Lao Mouzi, the director will share 20%, and the studio can also occupy 20% of the investment share.

Of course, 20% here, half of which belongs to Hengyu Media.

In other words, for a movie, Lao Mouzi invests 10%, plus the director's share, which can account for 30% of the box office revenue.

Moreover, Lao Mouzi can shoot if he wants, there are no restrictions, and in terms of treatment, it is definitely the best in the industry.

Of course, if Lao Mouzi doesn't want the director to share, then it's okay, according to the total production budget of the film.

For a movie, how much is the director's fee, Hengyu directly gives cash, which is also the top in the industry.

However, these are just the basics, Lao Mouzi is really willing to join Hengyu, and he still values Hengyu's atmosphere.

He only now understands that with a huge team of screenwriters behind him, it is so easy to set up a project.

Wu Jing, Wen Muye, Hao Yi, and Su Lun, Fang Ziheng is ready to set up a film company for them together.

Hengyu injected 60% of the shares, and one of them invested a part, accounting for 10% of the shares.

This company is a director-centric system, Hengyu Media provides the script, and they can also provide the script themselves.

The movies made by the four of them, as long as they are approved by Fang Ziheng and Hengyu Media's Literary Screenwriting Department, the company will share benefits and risks with them.

In addition, each of them can also invest in their own films, and receive a share of the investment according to their achievements, up to 20%.

Of course, the films shot by this company must be distributed by Hengyu Media.

To put it bluntly, it is the movies they shoot, each of which is controlled by Hengyu, counting their own share, pulling in one or two other film and television companies, or looking for backers like China Film and Poly to endorse.

Fang Ziheng was very reasonable, not only binding the four people, but also giving them considerable freedom.

This treatment is only a little worse than Lao Mouzi, similar to the cooperation between Feng Pants and Huayi.

Living room on the sofa.

The crowd was talking and laughing, and four scripts were being discussed.

"Slay the Wolf 2"!

"Manslaughter 1"!

"33 Days of Broken Love"!

"Embroidered Spring Knife"!

Wu Jing, the director of "Slaying the Wolf 2", has long been decided, and he wrote, directed and acted by himself.

Wen Muye, the director of "Manslaughter 1", this guy has always wanted to take charge of the camera himself.

Fang Ziheng once tested Wen Muye, told him the plot synopsis of "Manslaughter 1", and asked him to write a detailed script.

Not to mention, this guy is quite good, and he got a complete script in three months.
