Chapter 317: The Return of the Great Sage

………

"Baoqiang must not be changed!"

Fang Ziheng spoke categorically and denied Xu Guangtou's suggestion.

It doesn't matter if Xu Guangtou has an upward heart, he can give support as an old friend.

After all, what film director can still not have a little ambition.

But Xu Guangtou wants to use a series of movies that are destined to be popular as bargaining chips, and replace the leading creative team of the first two films in exchange for higher investment, this kind of thing is absolutely not allowed!

Not to mention Xu Guangtou, even if it is Lao Mouzi, Wu Jing, Wen Muye, Hao Yi, these signed directors under Hengyu, Fang Ziheng will not agree.

Xu Zheng was stunned for a moment, his face was quite embarrassed, he didn't expect that he would be rejected by Fang Ziheng after he was a little tempted.

He was not reconciled and continued to lobby.

"Ziheng, I'm not out of nowhere to lose, don't worry, even if I don't have Baoqiang, I can still shoot "Hong Kong" well."

"I can assure you that with the newcomer Bao Belle, the standard of "Hong Kong Embarrassment" will not be worse than that of "Thai Embarrassment".

You may not know that I personally auditioned for more than 50 actors through the national audition before, although Bao Beier's image, acting skills, and comedy are not as good as Baoqiang, but his soft and hard conditions are definitely qualified for the role of brother-in-law in the movie. ”

Fang Ziheng was too lazy to listen to his boasting, so he made a phone call and asked the Hengyu Brokerage Artist Department downstairs to send Bao Beier's information.

After a while, Bao Beier's information and video appeared in front of the two of them.

After watching it for a while, Fang Ziheng shook his head, pointed to Bao Beier with a wig and said, "Zhengzi, this actor may have some joy, but his joy is much weaker."

Haven't you noticed that Baoqiang's honest appearance makes him very popular with the audience, and the funny scenes will not make the audience tired even if they are vulgar.

And Bao Beier's funny performance is mostly deliberate, and her every move is a bit bitter and mean, which is easy to get bored. ”

Speaking of this, Fang Ziheng paused slightly, and asked directly at Xu Guangtou word by word: "Are you really sure that he can guarantee that the audience likes him on the stage?" ”

Forehead..

Swept away by Fang Ziheng's sharp eyes, Xu Zheng wanted to stop talking, and suddenly a thought of weakness suddenly rose.

He has auditioned for Bao Belle several times, and of course he understands the strengths and weaknesses of this actor.

It's just that he has confidence in himself, and he personally took Bao Bei'er with him, coupled with Zhao Yanzi's wide popularity, the finished film effect will not be worse than Shangbao.

Xu Guangtou thought too much.

In the last life, "Hong Kong Embarrassment" was released, and the word-of-mouth overturned, and the standard of the film was at least two grades worse than "Thai Embarrassment".

If it weren't for the support of two previous works, it would never have won the box office of 1.6 billion.

In this life, "Hong Kong Embarrassment" will be released in the Chinese New Year next year, and Fang Ziheng's expected box office is more than 1.6 billion.

After pointing out the problem, Fang Ziheng changed his words and threw a big pie to Xu Zheng.

"Zhengzi, "Hong Kong Embarrassment" is a key project of Hengyu next year, this film will be placed under the name of Hengyu Mutual Entertainment to promote the listing of Hengyu Mutual Entertainment in 14 years, I need 200% protection!"

Moreover, after the release of Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West", the film will have a box office of at least 1 billion, and Stephen Chow will definitely be able to sit firmly on the throne of comedy by taking this opportunity.

Think about it, if next year's Chinese New Year file "Hong Kong" is a big hit, and the total box office exceeds that of "Journey to the West", both self-directed and self-acted comedians, what will the media and the public say about you and Stephen Chow? ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Guangtou's heart moved.

Almost instantly, he extinguished the idea of substitution.

He touched his bright bald head and asked expectantly: "Hengyu Mutual Entertainment is listed, Ziheng, can I get some original shares?" ”

He didn't have any idea of being the king of comedy, and the territory laid down by Stephen Chow was not so easy to overturn.

But Hengyu Mutual Entertainment's listing is different, it is white silver.

If you can buy a lot before going public, the cliff is a lucrative deal.

"Absolutely!"

Fang Ziheng smiled, a batch of happy ones.

Hengyu Media has long been determined that if you want to take the shares of Hengyu Mutual Entertainment, you must meet one of the three prerequisites.

First, they are the contracted directors, artists, and employees of Hengyu Media.

Second, Hengyu Media has injected capital into the companies and studios under its name.

Third, people who have made significant contributions to Hengyu Media and have great value in themselves.

If one of the three conditions is met, a certain share of the original shares can be purchased.

Xu Zheng's studio Hengyu has been injected, and his value can also obtain a small part of the original shares.

If he wants more, then it's easy to do, sign a director contract with Hengyu Media, and completely meet the three conditions.

"That's it, the lineup of "Hong Kong Embarrassment" remains the same, and it will start in March next year, during this time, you can talk to Baoqiang and Zhao Yanzi more, and familiarize yourself with the script first."

Fang Ziheng turned off Bao Beier's video data and made a final decision.

Xu Zheng was very eye-catching, copied the script and made two guarantees, and left with a smile on his face and a dream of making a fortune.

Walking out of the chairman's office, the beautiful secretary who worked outside got up and nodded at him and followed him out.

The two came outside one after the other, and Xu Zheng just wanted to tease the beautiful secretary for a few words, but he heard the other party stretch out his hand and smile at him: "Director Xu walks slowly." ”

"Director Tian, Director Wen, please come here."

As she spoke, the beautiful secretary turned around and beckoned to Tian Xiaopeng and Wen Muye, who were waiting in the reception room outside.

Xu Zheng ate a beautiful gray, and he didn't care at all, but said in a somewhat amorous tone: "Goodbye beauty, I hope that next time we meet, you have been promoted." ”

said hello to Tian Xiaopeng and Wen Muye again, and this guy whistled before speeding up and going downstairs.

It's so old.

.......

in the office.

Fang Ziheng didn't know that Xu Guangtou was complaining again, he was reading the script and animation script of "The Return of the Great Sage".

Speaking of "The Return of the Great Sage", the most sassy operation of this movie is not the good reputation at the box office.

is not a total box office of 960 million with a production cost of less than 70 million.

is not surpassing the Hollywood animation "Kung Fu Panda 2" to become the most popular animated film in the Chinese film market.

The most shocking and sassy operation of this movie is the name of the film investor that appears at the end of the film.

Believe it!

An animated film, 89 investors!

Some tried their luck and invested one to twenty thousand, and some blocked their net worth and participated in hundreds of thousands, investing nearly 8 million soft girl coins in the movie.

At the beginning of the release of "The Return of the Great Sage", they also contributed more than 200 chartered shows, and spontaneously provided long-term free outdoor advertising for the film in first-tier cities such as the imperial capital and the magic capital.

"The Return of the Great Sage", it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a cow that has no friends!

Fang Ziheng exchanged 30% of the share of "Hong Kong" for the main control of "The Return of the Great Sage", which is to fancy the influence of this movie.

Hengyu Media, sooner or later, will shoot animated films, and the pioneering work "The Return of the Great Sage" is a good training experience.

It can not only play a word-of-mouth, but also train the production team well.

Dongdong..

The beautiful secretary knocked on the door, came to her with swaying steps, and said in a mansheng voice: "Dong Fang, Director Tian and Director Wen are here." ”

"Oh, invite them in."

Fang Ziheng nodded at the beautiful secretary and got up to greet him.

This beautiful secretary, named Lin Yuyu, is only 25 years old and graduated from Tsinghua University with a master's degree in financial management.

This sister is a child of the official family, the cousin of Concubine Lin, who just walked out of school in July this year.

looks and figures, speaks and does things are not bad, but there is an innate arrogance between the eyebrows, which makes people stay away.

Fang Ziheng didn't have any thoughts about her, and he estimated that the other party wouldn't be able to do it for long, so he should come to Hengyu Media to experience and experience.

Soon, Tian Xiaopeng and Wen Muye stepped into the office.

As soon as he saw Fang Ziheng, Tian Xiaopeng thanked him and sighed again and again.

"Fang Dong, thank you very much for supporting our crew of "The Return of the Great Sage", thank you, if Hengyu Media didn't take over in time, the crew wouldn't know where to go.

To tell you the truth, we are almost out of the pot. ”

At the beginning of the project of "The Return of the Great Sage", the production fee was expected to be 30 million soft girl coins.

Tian Xiaopeng pulled tens of millions of funds by himself, and then found China Film, and Han Dong helped solve 10 million.

Later, Han Dong introduced Hengdian Film and Television Group and Ludong Film and Television, each of which solved 5 million.

After the film started, the progress was slow.

Tian Xiaopeng took the crew two years, but only 40% of the production was completed, and the 30 million had already been spent.

He had no choice, so he took the initiative to find Wang Changtian and asked Guangguang Media to take over.

As soon as Wang Changtian heard that the film was halfway completed, he called 10 million without saying a word.

But it's not soft!

The 10 million was spent in less than half a year, and I didn't see the shadow of the finished movie.

In the end, the bright withdrew, the project returned to the hands of China Film, and Han Dong added an additional 5 million investment.

So far, the cost of the film of "The Return of the Great Sage" has come to 45 million soft girl coins!

Just when China Film thought that it would soon be able to see a finished film and the movie could be released, Tian Xiaopeng came to China Film again half a year later.

He told a news that made Han Dong vomit blood, and the crew of "The Return of the Great Sage" had no money again, and the finished film was only 60% completed.

In this way, the project was suspended, Tian Xiaopeng relied on his connections, this small film and television company was a little bit more popular, and the little-known film and television company was a little tricky.

It took more than three years for "The Return of the Great Sage" to spend 55 million, and nearly 30% of the finished film was not completed.

Tian Xiaopeng has been cornered.

In the last life, he also encountered this threshold, and finally found 89 filmmakers to invest in the way of spreading fish, and it was not until 2015 that the movie was made.

Fang Ziheng invited the two to sit down, and asked straight to the point: "Director Tian, with more additional funds, can you let the movie be released in advance?" ”

He didn't care about the cost of "The Return of the Great Sage", and if he wanted to take the main control, he naturally had to invest more money.

"Released in advance, what does Fang Dong mean?"

Tian Xiaopeng was suddenly asked, he didn't know when the movie would be released.

Fang Ziheng smiled, made a gesture of eight, and asked again in Tian Xiaopeng's puzzled gaze: "It's very simple, if Hengyu Media invests 60 million to 80 million to enter, when will the movie be released at the earliest?" ”

Hiss..

Tian Xiaopeng gasped, stood up, and stared at Fang Ziheng in disbelief.

60 million to 80 million!

Really fake!

Could it be that my Lao Tian is lucky, God was moved by my insistence, and specially found a noble person to help me!

At this moment, Tian Xiaopeng was very excited, his lips muttered, and he instantly recalled the days when he had received all kinds of white eyes in the past three years, and led the team to eat instant noodles while busy with the computer.

Don't, but don't cry.

Fang Ziheng sighed in his heart, pulled Tian Xiaopeng, who was becoming more and more excited, to sit down again, and said warmly: "Director Tian, Hengyu Media has taken over the "Return of the Great Sage" project, you and your team can rest assured that you only need to focus on the movie itself. ”

"Well, I understand, thank you Fang Dong."

Tian Xiaopeng sniffled, and the corners of his eyes were reddened and moved.

"Fang Dong, at present, the movie is 70% complete, and it only takes 20 million at most to finish."

Fang Ziheng waved his hand and explained: "No, 80 million points can't be missing, there must be many small flaws in your early production, and you have to make up for these flaws." ”

"In addition, I decided to let Tiangong Brilliant re-go the special effects for the finished film, and improve the picture quality of the movie to a higher level."

Joke!

If you don't increase investment, how can Hengyu Media be completely controlled!

Again, with the current production speed of the crew, it can't be fast at all without throwing money at all, and it has to go back to the release time of the previous life.

This can't be done, it's only 2013 this year, and Fang Ziheng can't wait that long.

"Director Tian, I only have one request, "The Return of the Great Sage" must be released in 2014!"

"Can you do it?"

"Yes, don't worry, Fang Dong, I will not let you down!"

Tian Xiaopeng, who was guaranteed by the funds and recovered his emotions, also improved his self-confidence, and patted his chest on the spot and made a military order.

Afterwards, the three chatted about the movie for a while.

Wen Muye opened his mouth and invited Tian Xiaopeng to join Hengyu Media as the deputy director of the film production department and the director of the Tudou video animation production department.

In Fang Ziheng's expectation, Tian Xiaopeng agreed after a little thought and joined the company on the same day.

When sending Tian Xiaopeng out, Fang Ziheng took his hand and explained a few words: "Director Tian, you first get acquainted with the company for a few days, and then go to Tudou Video, Wang Wei, the founder of Tudou Video, is very interested in animation and animation, you can talk about it well, you can definitely spark inspiration." ”

"Okay, I'll listen to Fang Dong."

Tian Xiaopeng nodded solemnly and left with ups and downs.

A trip to Hengyu Media not only attracted 80 million investment for "The Return of the Great Sage", but also turned into a regular army, and became the top management of the industry's top film and television companies.

The circumstances of life are really unpredictable.

........

sent Tian Xiaopeng away, and only Fang Ziheng and Wen Muye were left in the office.

Wen Muye looked at it again and again, rubbed his hands and said expectantly: "Director, what about me?" ”

"You.. What are you doing? ”

Fang Ziheng pretended to be stupid, returned to the boss's chair leisurely, and asked Meizizi by lighting a cigarette.

"Director, you can't be like this, "National Security 1" has been released, I have nothing to do now, and I am full of energy."

"Director, what about my project?"

Wen Muye froze, came to Fang Ziheng with a snort, and looked at him aggrievedly.

"By the way, I haven't said anything about you yet, you ran back just a few days after the release of "National Security 1", have you completed your publicity task?"

"It's all done, I ran more than a dozen interviews and variety shows a week."

"What about the roadshow, how many cities have you run?"

"Four first-tier cities, three provincial capitals, ahem, I'm the director, these things make the main creator of the movie run more."

Wen Muye was numb, and Ai Ai was speechless.

"National Security 1" has the Big Dipper Distribution Company to undertake the distribution right, so there is almost no need to worry about publicity resources.

The standard of the film has reached the first-class, and the total box office has reached 270 million in 9 days of release, another 500 million-level movie.

After several movie training, Wen Muye has grown up completely, and after seeing Hao Yi's "Four Famous Catches 2" breaking 1 billion, he also had the idea of shooting a blockbuster.

For this reason, he even stopped the roadswalk in advance, and deliberately found a Fang Ziheng to block the door when he was in the company.

"You, don't take it as an example!"

Fang Ziheng shook his head helplessly, took out a story outline from the drawer and threw it over.

"Don't mumble about making a blockbuster movie first, take a look at this story first, do you dare to shoot it?"

"Hey, what's not to dare to do."

Bunkino was obsessed with confidence, and quickly copied the outline of the story from his desk.

Well, what the hell is this?

He blinked, and his gaze was on the top of the A4 page.

There, across the horizon, is a five-character noun with an anomaly of the second in the middle.

"I am not the God of Medicine"!

Gee.

Unexpectedly, the director still likes this kind of bad name.

Wen Muye complained while his gaze shifted downward, browsing the story outline on the paper.

Look at it.

His face changed suddenly, and his hand holding the paper couldn't help but tremble.

it!

it!

it!

Can this story really be filmed?
