Ching Hai Resort.

Fang Ziheng sat under the sun canopy, carefully checking the footage he had just taken.

Not far away, the trio of touching gold were sweating profusely, and they came out of the underground studio palace.

As soon as they came up, Liu Ye and Huang Bo ran to the artificial clear water pool, picked up the water and poured it on their faces.

Liu Qianqian was also too hot, she first came to the sun canopy to hide in the shade, and sat next to Fang Ziheng to enjoy the crew's only outdoor electric fan.

"It's hot, director, do you have any cold drinks?"

"No, girls don't drink cold things, otherwise you will suffer at that time."

Fang Ziheng didn't squint, and handed his thermos cup to the young lady as he spoke.

The young lady rolled her eyes, took the thermos cup and didn't dislike it, and poured several sips.

"Hey, why is it still sweet?"

The young lady licked the corners of her mouth and looked inside the thermos cup.

Gee.

In an instant, the young lady showed a look of disdain.

Fang Ziheng happened to see it, and suddenly his heart was furious: "What's the matter, I've been too tired lately, can't I drink some wolfberry tea?" ”

"Of course, it's best to drink it with ginseng."

The young lady nodded solemnly and returned the thermos cup to him, reluctant to drink it again.

Fang Ziheng: "."

If you hadn't squeezed me every day, I would have used wolfberries to make tea!

"Stopped drinking?"

"If you don't drink it, the director needs to drink tea even more!"

The young lady had a serious expression and was obviously holding back a smile.

Don't drink it.

Fang Ziheng took two sips, wiped his mouth and continued to review the shots.

Twenty minutes later.

He got up from his seat, picked up the small horn and shouted: "Actors hurry up and touch up their makeup, ten minutes to prepare!"

Hearing this, the set was suddenly full of grief.

"Director, let us go, let us rest again."

"Director, please, we're too hot!"

"Director, I was wrong, I shouldn't have drunk your goji berry tea!"

It's July.

The summer file has entered the most fierce confrontation moment, and the war has spread to the entire entertainment industry.

Among them, the most eye-catching movie is "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party 1".

Nineteen days after its release, it hit a box office of 317 million, and the momentum in the third week was still strong, reaching more than 90 million.

In addition, "Martial Arts" was released for seven days, with a total box office of more than 100 million, winning the weekly box office champion from July 4 to July 10.

On the box office data table, the rest of the films released are at a glance.

The third place, "God of Wealth Inn", was released for thirteen days, with a weekly box office of 26.9 million and a total box office of 81.4 million.

The fourth place "Far Cry" was released for three days, with a total box office of 24.3 million.

The fifth place "Animal Story" was released for 17 days, with a weekly box office of 14.6 million and a total box office of 54.55 million.

Not so far from sixth place.

"Ultimate Express", "Fatal Heartbeat", "Butterfly on the Shoulder", "Strategic Secret Service" These movies have been released for more than ten days, and the total box office has not exceeded 20 million.

In the first half of July, whether it is entertainment reports or film scheduling, it is the world of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party 1".

July 18th.

"The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party 1" was released for 32 days, and the total box office came to 410 million soft girl coins.

China Film held a celebration banquet, and Fang Ziheng didn't have time to attend, so he asked Concubine Lin to take people to the party.

At this point, the first half of the summer file has come to an end.

On July 19, "Modern Times" starring Xu Zheng was released.

On July 20th, Hengyu Media's first film of the year, directed by Wen Muye, written by Fang Ziheng, and starring Xiao Yang and Zeng Li, "Manslaughter 1" was officially released.

Two movies, one released one after the other, one focuses on comedy and the other focuses on suspense and crime.

The box office of "Modern Age" on the first day was 12.8 million, which did not meet Xu Zheng's expectations.

The movie focuses on comedy, with all the laughter and baggage, but for some reason, there is no famous scene that makes the audience's eyes shine and laugh.

It's not amazing, it's just an average-level passing comedy.

The box office of "Manslaughter 1" on the first day was 18 million, which was able to meet Wen Muye's expectations, which made his tense heart feel relieved.

After the release of the movie, Hengyu Media and Zhuying Group both invested huge publicity and distribution expenses, almost sharing the reports of entertainment media and Weibo hot searches.

3 days after its release, "Manslaughter 1" took the lead, and the box office reached 120 million, and it began to drive publicity with word-of-mouth to attract more audiences to spend money on tickets.

"Modern Year" was sent, and most of it was lost before the word of mouth got up.

Many viewers who have watched the movie posted on the Internet, saying that their expectations for Xu Zheng are too great, the movie is average, with no features and highlights, and it can't be compared with "Thai Embarrassment".

These remarks were quickly swept away by the Zhuying Group, and millions of publicity expenses were slammed down every day, suppressing all different voices.

July 25th.

"Modern Age" was released for 6 days, with a total box office of 63 million, 15 million less than the previous life!

After this news broke, the publicity of Zhuying Group was instantly cut off, and countless dissatisfied voices of the audience filled the Internet.

The entertainment media stopped the loss in time, not to help cover up, but to fight back and bring rhythm to the end.

In just one night, the banner of the city wall was changed on the Internet, and thousands of voices of Xu Zheng's crusade appeared.

"Xu Zheng, a man who can't do without "Thai Embarrassment"!"

""Modern Age" is old-fashioned, the plot is old-fashioned, not only does it not have its own style, but it also has no new ideas!"

"Bad review! How much I used to look forward to Xu Zheng, how disappointed I am in him today! ”

"Clear the clouds and mist to see the truth, once return to the pre-liberation period, leave Fang Ziheng, lose the "Thai Embarrassment" series, and return to the mediocre Xu Zheng!"

""Manslaughter 1" has a strong reputation, the box office has risen steadily, and the first low-cost dark horse in the summer file has appeared!"

"The total box office of "Manslaughter 1" exceeded 200 million, and director Wen Muye served as the assistant director of "Nobody", "Detective Chinatown", "Four Famous Arrests", and "Edge of Tomorrow".

"Following Su Lun, the director of "Youth Campus", Fang Ziheng once again launched Wen Muye, the second rookie director of Hengyu Media, and his debut was amazing!"

"Manslaughter 1", a classic dark horse movie with a small and broad background, starring Xiao Yang and Zeng Li, cooperated for the second time, and continued to write the suspense of "Detective Chinatown"!"

Reports on the web are polarized, one heaven and one hell.

The media just finished spraying Xu Zheng and "Modern Times" in the previous report, and the latter report blew "Manslaughter 1" and Wen Muye.

Xu Zheng Studio.

In the simply decorated office, the atmosphere is solemn and smoky.

Xu Zheng sat on the sofa with a gloomy face, smoking a stuffy cigarette, the smooth bald head was not there, and there was a faint trend of dark clouds covering the top.

Opposite him, the agent Liu Ruifang was also holding a lady's cigarette, her eyebrows were deep, and there was a breath of not being allowed to enter.

The two of them were like two icebergs, and the staff outside the door who was about to come in to deliver the documents shrank their necks and stopped their steps.

Long.

Liu Ruifang snuffed out the cigarette, got up and opened the window, and said in a condensed voice: "Zhengzi, now is the critical moment, first of all, you have to stabilize, and then ensure that "The Great Gold Robbery" will not have problems, and the movie must be released on the National Day!" ”

"Whether you can turn over or not depends on the follow-up battle!"

"I know, Ning Hao called me, and he helped me stabilize the pony galloping and bright."

Xu Zheng took a puff of cigarette, his eyes were empty, and he stared at the smoke in front of him and said.

This blow was almost fatal to him.

How beautiful he was last October, how lost he is today.

If it weren't for the fact that there is another "Gold Robbery" this year, I am afraid that he Xu Zheng will soon be abandoned by investors.

As the audience said, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment, out of the "Thai Embarrassment" series, without the support of an excellent script, he was immediately beaten back to the prototype.

Xu Zheng sighed secretly in his heart, before he only cared about skipping Fang Ziheng's figure and walking out of his own movie path, but he forgot the importance of the script.

The script of "Modern Times" is average, and the box office is far from expectations, not to mention rushing to the height of "Thai Embarrassment", I am afraid that even the minimum goal of 200 million cannot be reached.

The reputation of the movie is even more straight down, and it is far from enough to rely on publicity alone to spend money, and it will not be able to pull the box office at all.

Alas..

If he could have collected his ambitions at that time and continued to cooperate with Fang Ziheng, maybe "Manslaughter 1", which was touted by the media outside, would be directed by him.

Even if it is not "Manslaughter 1", the six or seven movies that Hengyu is mainly controlling this year will definitely have a place for him.

Xu Zheng took a light breath and suppressed the thoughts in his mind.

Now that it's decided, there's no need to dwell on it!

He didn't believe it, he couldn't leave Fang Ziheng!

"Modern Age" screwed up, and "The Great Gold Robbery".

As long as "The Golden Secret" succeeds and achieves a good box office, it can also prove that he is Xu Zheng.

The summer season continues.

On July 29, "Manslaughter 1" was released for 8 days, with a total box office of more than 300 million, and was called a lonely hero by the good news media.

became the only Chinese-language movie that can play in the second half of the summer season, and the only one that faces Hollywood blockbusters.

Not for anything else, just because "Transformers 3" is coming.

Since the increase in foreign imports last year, Hollywood films have been released almost every month in the mainland film market.

Among them, June and September have the most Hollywood films.

The Hollywood movies that can really be played in this summer's file are not "Kung Fu Panda 2", nor "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", but "Transformers 3".

Fang Ziheng said that it didn't matter, and the people in the company said that "Manslaughter 1" and "Transformers" were not the same theme, but when it came to facing it head-on, he was still very concerned about the trends in the film market.

Notify the publicity department in advance and do a good job in the publicity and distribution of "Manslaughter 1" after its release, so that Ning You will not be reluctant to spend money.

On July 29, "Transformers 3" landed in China.

As soon as it was released, it attracted a large number of audiences to buy tickets and enter the cinema.

The whole movie is popcorn, and it is cool all the way to the end.

The violent picture created an extremely strong first-day box office for the movie.

On the first day of release, "Transformers 3" broke various records and hit the peak box office of 101 million soft girl coins in one fell swoop.

Break 100 million in a single day!

broke the unprecedented record, and the entire Chinese film industry was dumbfounded, and most of the entertainment industry was stunned.

The crew of "Looking for the Dragon", which was filmed far away in Qinghai, learned the news on the set, and everyone's faces changed greatly, and they were so frightened that they couldn't speak.

100 million!

Last year's Chinese New Year file "Edge of Tomorrow", with the help of the publicity of more than 20 satellite TVs, only hit the height of 72 million.

In just six months, the data has risen by 30 million, which is incredible.

You know, this is only the first day of box office!

That morning, the media boasted overwhelmingly, and 80% of the entertainment news on the whole network was reporting on the feat achieved by "Transformers 3".

The degree of popularity is comparable to "Avatar" at the beginning of 10 years and "Edge of Tomorrow" at the beginning of 11.

There is no doubt that "Transformers 3" became famous and completely became the most watched movie in the second half of the summer file.

The box office record of 100 million in a single day also cast a shadow on the sky of Chinese films again.

On this day, many filmmakers who are not able to resist pressure in their hearts have sad faces, sigh for a long time, and can't have the idea of catching up and surpassing "Transformers 3".

Another group of experts and scholars spoke publicly on the Internet, shouting that the wolf was coming, and scolding Zhongying and Optoelectronics for their bullshit eyes.

It's not good to choose anything, but I just pick some monstrous giant crocodile imported films, and let Hollywood movies enjoy the dividends of China's development in vain.

The next day, "Transformers 3" fell back, with a single-day box office of 95.3 million.

This data did not make everyone's mood relaxed, but more worrying and fearful.

No other, because the third day is Saturday!

On Saturday, witnessed by countless people, the box office of "Transformers" hit a record high that day, breaking the first-day box office record and reaching a terrifying height of 115 million.

The miracle continues.

On Sunday, "Transformers 3" once again hit 106 million soft girl coins.

Break 400 million in four days!

The total box office of "Transformers 3" came to 417.3 million in one fell swoop!

Invincible!

"Transformers 3" is invincible!

It is not impossible to break the record of 1 billion and break the record of 1.346 billion in "Edge of Tomorrow"!

When Fang Ziheng saw the box office data, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Manslaughter 1" faced "Transformers 3", even if Hengyu Media strengthened its publicity, it was beaten to the ground.

In the four days from the 29th to August 2nd, only 27 million box office was obtained, and the total box office came to 340 million, and it was difficult to break 400 million.

At this time, it was the stall where the crew was having lunch, Liu Qianqian, Liu Ye, Huang Bo and others saw that his face was wrong, and couldn't help asking: "Director, what's wrong?" ”

"Did the crew encounter a shooting difficulty?"

"Director, if you need anything, just say it, I Huang Bo won't frown!"

Fang Ziheng shook his head and smiled reluctantly: "Everyone hurry up and eat, eat more, there are many scenes in the afternoon, and the physical consumption is great." ”

Guo Fan, the assistant director on the side, had a flash in his eyes and guessed what was going on.

"Transformers 3" is turning the world upside down and bombing the mainland market, but any Chinese filmmaker who has a little mind is uncomfortable.

Not to mention "Manslaughter 1", which is controlled by Hengyu Media, is being ravaged by this giant crocodile at this time.

He gave Fang Ziheng a cup of Red Bull, and said softly: "Director, I believe that "Looking for the Dragon" will definitely not be worse than "Transformers 3", the annual box office champion, and it is unknown who will kill the deer!" ”

Liu Qianqian's ears were pointed, and she sat close to the two of them, and heard Guo Fan's words.

I saw her glance at Fang Ziheng, then slammed the table and stood up in the surprised eyes of everyone.

"Isn't it Transformers 3? What are you afraid of it, the big guys work together to overturn it! ”

The young lady has a resolute tone, a firm gaze, and the momentum of doing it if she doesn't agree.

As soon as she spoke, the pot exploded on the table.

In the past few days, everyone has been stimulated by "Transformers 3", and they have long wanted to talk about it.

"The "Transformers" series is just like that, except for dangdang, there is no fart story logic." Spit from Xia Yu.

Huang Bo followed closely: "At the beginning, "Avatar" was awesome, it wasn't put down by "Edge of Tomorrow", "Transformers 3" met our "Dragon Hunting" and it was unlucky, and it was chopped up in minutes. ”

"Work overtime, let's work together, and strive to make "Looking for the Dragon" released in this year's Chinese New Year!"

"Director, what do you say, what do we do, it's up to you to put it in "Transformers 3"!"
