.........

At the dinner party.

Feng Pants found Fang Ziheng and asked about the situation of "I Am Not the God of Medicine".

"Director Fang, when will the filming of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" start, I will come to learn from the scriptures when the time comes."

"Director Feng laughed at me, the movie will start in a few days, and you are welcome to direct."

Fang Ziheng smiled slightly, clinking glasses with Feng's pants, secretly thinking about what happened to Lao Feng today.

So modest and polite, but also learn from experience?

He didn't know that Feng Pants had his own plans.

"Private Custom" is only to be released, and after completing this movie, Feng Pants can be regarded as making up for the loss of last year's "1942", and has an explanation for the big and small Wang brothers.

The next step is to start a new project.

Feng Pants also has ideas about realistic themes, and has long wanted to make a realistic film.

If it was before, he would never be so modest and learn from the scriptures.

But "1942" gave him a blow to the head, and it was a big blow, and he spent more than a year reflecting on the reasons for his failure.

In the final analysis, it was still the script, and the rhythm of "1942" was not well controlled.

Now that the era of prosperity has come, the movie only shows the miserable and cruel side, without giving the audience the slightest hope, and the audience will certainly not buy it.

In addition, the king is very worried about him shooting new themes, and this support for Teng Huatao is a big reason.

Feng Pants was worried that the new project would be rejected by the big and small kings, so he asked Fang Ziheng to learn from the experience.

If he can get Fang Ziheng to point out the script, the big and small kings will have no reason to refuse themselves.

Of course.

After all, Feng Pants is the pillar of Huayi, with a lofty status, and he only pays attention to the rise of Teng Huatao, and he is not too worried.

After all.

He and Hua Yi are now signing a director contract, replacing Hua Yi's 300 million soft sister coins with a shell company, and signing five movies.

300 million, real cash!

This kind of treatment can be said to be one of the few in the entire Chinese film industry, and few directors can compare.

Teng Huatao, it's still far away!

The two chatted a few more words, smiled at each other, and walked to the center of the banquet hall with their wine glasses.

Center on a dining table.

Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei gave Teng Huatao enough face, and took the lead in toasting: "Hua Tao, congratulations, judging from the premiere, "Waiting for the Wind" will definitely be a big hit, you are a hit this time, and you are about to become one of the great directors!" ”

"At least 500 million box office, let's work harder on publicity and distribution, strive to sit on 700 million and hope for 800 million, and fight a beautiful battle in the Chinese New Year!

Wang Zhonglei then spoke, hugged Teng Huatao with an iron brotherhood, and said arrogantly: "Huatao, you just lead the team to publicize, and leave the rest to me, when you come back, my eldest brother and I will personally celebrate your success, and when the time comes, I will open the bottle of Lafite in 1787 at home, which is a good wine that I have treasured for many years!" ”

"Well, Lafite of 1787, then I have to try it, thank you!

Teng Huatao's face was overjoyed, and he arched his hand towards Wang Zhonglei, as if he had seen a box office hit, and everyone tasted the scene of Lafite in 1787 at the celebration banquet.

More than a million red wines, let alone drinking, he has never even seen them.

It's still enough to be a brother and righteous enough!

At this time, Fang Ziheng and Feng Pants happened to walk over and heard the laughter of the two.

The corners of Fang Ziheng's mouth twitched, and he quickly glanced at Feng's pants.

If he remembers correctly, at the premiere appreciation dinner of "1942" last year, Wang Zhonglei said the same thing to Feng Pants.

When he waited for the celebration banquet, he would take out a bottle of 1787 Lafite, which he had treasured for many years, to celebrate Feng's achievements.

Ma chicken~!

Haven't finished that bottle yet?

Fang Ziheng thought of it and looked at Feng Pants secretly.

If Feng Pants could guess his thoughts, he would definitely scoff and roll his eyes.

Drink a fart!

He Feng pants have never even seen the wine bottle of 1787 Lafite, "1942" hit the street, Wang Zhonglei will not take out the wine even if he has a hole in his brain.

Feng Pants remembers very well that although there was a celebration party at that time, it was not carried out in a big way, and Wang Zhonglei opened a bottle of 1977 Henry in front of him. Jia Yin Li Qibao.

The price is 16,000 US dollars, and a bottle of more than 100,000 soft girl coins is less than one-tenth of the price of 1787 Lafite.

Feng Pants tasted half a cup at that time, and the rest was used by Wang Zhonglei to entertain other guests, and a bottle of wine was not enough.

The taste is not very good, and it is not as good as the bottle of 1996 Romani that was opened at the celebration banquet of "Tangshan Earthquake" the year before last. Kande is delicious.

In that said.

He's a lot older, so it's better to drink less.

Feng's pants were calm and calm on the surface, but his heart was sour, especially when he saw the high-spirited Teng Huatao, he had nowhere to vent his depression.

Damn it!

Look at how awesome you can be in "Waiting for the Wind".

If you accidentally hit the street, that bottle of million red wine won't be your share Teng Huatao, and it will belong to my Feng pants!

.........

After the dinner, the zero hour block followed.

Many movies released in the early morning of November 26, including "Waiting for the Wind" to enter theaters.

Fang Ziheng didn't pay attention to the zero hour block of "Waiting for the Wind to Come", and went home and went to bed early.

The next morning.

Huayi has increased the publicity and distribution of "Waiting for the Wind", and all kinds of touted movies to escort the early release of the movie.

According to Huayi's internal statistics, although the finished film of "Waiting for the Wind to Come" is not as funny as "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", it is more profound.

Moreover, the movie used a new generation of Mou girl Ni Yi as the female number one, plus Jing Bailan, who was highly praised by Hua Yi.

A combination of handsome men and beautiful women, the trailer alone has attracted many curious audiences.

Although Teng Huatao's reputation is not as good as in his previous life, he has a father who is retired at home, and his connections are very good.

In just one morning, many famous filmmakers in the circle appeared one after another, all on the platform for "Waiting for the Wind".

Under the huge publicity efforts, the popularity of the movie has skyrocketed, attracting countless young men and women across the country to spend money to buy tickets.

But it didn't work.

With the release of the whole day, negative reviews quickly appeared on the Internet, and viewers who had watched the movie came forward to accuse the movie of being too young and moaning without illness, which was completely incompatible with the search for happiness in "Travelogue, or Guide".

"The plot is sparse and boring!"

"Impose private goods, self-touched!"

"In addition to the heroine being in a daze and crying for some reason, what else will she do, especially the sweeping operation of having an epiphany, the director is afraid that he is not stupid!"

"Damn, a movie is pretentious all over the place, I really shouldn't believe Teng Huatao, I believe in the sixth generation of directors!"

"Refund and refund, Teng Huatao, you stupid hat, don't blindly participate in co-making movies if you don't have that ability, go back to shoot your TV series as soon as possible."

Bad reviews and abuse are full of major film forums.

Hengyu Maoyan app, the original movie pre-sale was 28 million, and it also dropped to 21 million in a day.

In the evening, more negative comments appeared, and the Huayi Propaganda Department and Public Relations Department couldn't hide the audience's dissatisfaction with the movie even if they were desperately throwing money.

The big and small kings are stupid, and Teng Huatao, who is imagining tasting millions of red wines, is also stupid.

In a hotel in the imperial capital.

Teng Huatao sat in front of the computer, his brows furrowed, and his face was full of incredulity.

Why?

At the premiere, there was thunderous applause, and the guests and the audience said yes after watching it.

Why are there so many bad reviews on the first day of the first day?

Someone must have deliberately made it bad and was discrediting the movie.

It doesn't matter, when the box office comes out on the first day, these smears will be self-defeating.

Teng Huatao thought too much.

24 hours passed, and in the early hours of the morning, the box office of "Waiting for the Wind" was released.

21.6 million!

"So little!"

Teng Huatao looked at the data on his phone in a daze, and his face was constipated, which was more uncomfortable than eating a dead mouse.

Not only him, the director, but also Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei were completely confused.

21.6 million on the first day, which is completely incomparable with expectations.

In their expectations, the box office on the first day will at least break 40 million, and the more they fight, the more courageous they are, opening the prelude to this year's Lunar New Year war in one fell swoop.

This is not the end, "Waiting for the Wind to Come" reported 15 million the next day and 12.5 million on the third day.

On the fourth day, it was even worse, falling directly to 10 million, and it will fall below 10 million tomorrow.

Four days after its release, the single-day box office of "Waiting for the Wind to Come" became worse and worse day by day, and the total box office was worthy of 60 million.

According to the current box office trend, not to mention 500 million as a base, it is impossible to break 200 million.

The Huayi brothers held on for a few days of intensive publicity, but in the end, they didn't do it and left the movie to fend for itself.

As for the bottle of million red wine, it is naturally gone.

However, Wang Zhongjun was very open-minded, and told Wang Zhonglei to sign Teng Huatao as soon as possible, and it was easiest to win people's hearts by sending charcoal in the snow.

In his words, although "Waiting for the Wind" did not become a big hit, the film only had a production cost of 30 million, and it was impossible to lose money.

And even if you lose money, where can you lose?

With Huayi's volume, it doesn't matter if it's a complete loss, let alone one drama, even if it's three or five.

Wang Zhongjun's heart has always been optimistic about Teng Huatao, thinking of learning from Fang Ziheng to support the new star director and pushing Teng Huatao out.

........

December 4th.

"I Am Not the God of Medicine" was launched in the magic capital.

Feng pants were invited, with a smile on his face, so comfortable.

As soon as he saw Fang Ziheng, he magically took out a hot gold invitation, and said happily: "Director Fang, "Private Custom" will hold a premiere on December 18, and it will be officially released on the 19th. ”

"It's easy to say, how can I miss Director Feng's movie, I will definitely be there."

Fang Ziheng smiled and spoke, with a long-looking expression.

At this moment, he also reacted.

Feng pants are so happy today, it must be related to "Waiting for the Wind".

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers!

Teng Huatao is also a new director supported by Huayi, and everyone who understands Feng Pants' strength understands it.

Fang Ziheng was too lazy to take care of Hua Yi's bad things, and took a group of movie creators to go through the procedure seriously.

Offering incense, praying, inviting God, turning on the machine, a set of movements is not too familiar.

After the start-up ceremony, Feng Pants stayed for lunch, and chatted a lot with Fang Ziheng in the middle.

Most of them discuss the limitations of realistic films and the points that can resonate with the audience.

Through chatting, Fang Ziheng learned about Feng Pants' new idea.

"Old Paoer"!

Like in the previous life, Feng Pants also wants to direct and act himself this time, and shoot a niche movie based on reality and beyond reality.

In the end, Feng Pants came in and returned satisfied.

On the occasion of parting.

He grabbed Fang Ziheng and whispered quietly, saying that he would invite him to drink wine in a few days, and drink red wine worth millions of dollars.

Fang Ziheng was speechless for a moment, and secretly scolded Lao Feng for being small-minded.

The water has passed through Sanqiutian, and he even recited the bottle of 1787 Lafite that Wang Zhonglei treasured.

........

Afternoon.

The hotel where the crew of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" stayed.

In a lounge, all the filmmakers gathered for the first script study.

More than half a month has passed, and the leading actors have new insights into the roles of the movie.

"Come on, start with the fight, makeup artist, put makeup on him first."

Fang Ziheng got straight to the point, and as he spoke, he waved his hand to the head of the makeup team of the crew who was carrying the box.

The study begins with Xu Zheng.

Soon, Xu Zheng's makeup approached Cheng Yong in the movie.

The body is slightly blessed, with a greasy bald head.

His face was full of beard, his eyes were dark, he was languid, and he exuded a sense of frustration all over his body.

Fang Ziheng circled around him twice, touching his chin to express his satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad, sloppy, the image is very suitable." ”

"Let's try it, let's play it first."

Xu Zhengyan changed his sitting posture when he heard this, and learned from Uncle Ge to lie down leisurely, looking even more decadent.

Then, he took out his smartphone from his pocket and clicked on the poker cards he often played during this period of time to fight the landlord.

Halfway through the game, he tilted his head slightly to look ahead, and the child's hole was empty, with an extremely boring expression.

Fang Ziheng stared at him carefully, and didn't shake his head until he finished his performance: "No, it's a little bit meaningless." ”

"The psychology of boring playing games, not like that."

As he spoke, Fang Ziheng asked Xu Zheng to get up, snatched the mobile phone from his hand, and sat on the sofa.

Bang Dang..

Fang Ziheng's feet were on the coffee table, and his shoes were attached to the glass coffee table, marking a dirty mark.

He held his phone, leaned back on the couch, and started the next game.

With the game, Fang Ziheng's legs on the coffee table shook at will, his elbows propped up on the sofa seat, and his upper body leaned to one side.

Then, Fang Ziheng's eyes narrowed slightly, he looked at the mobile phone screen and pursed the corners of his mouth, the cards were too bad, which made his already boring mind even less want to play.

"To three."

"To five."

"Yes

j。 ”

"I can't afford it!"

There was a girl's game sound on the mobile phone, Fang Ziheng was so bored that he was almost too lazy to look at the screen, and occasionally glanced at it and it was his turn to play his cards.

After playing the game, you lose.

Fang Ziheng took a light breath, turned his neck, and threw his mobile phone on the coffee table.

Bang..

The phone slammed down on the coffee table and then slid out, making a screeching grinding sound on the floor.

Fang Ziheng didn't care whose mobile phone it was, and continued to perform, only to see his body leaning back slightly, and a pair of haggard eyes slowly looking around.

Ceilings, walls, coffee tables, windows, no ideas, no goals, the more you look, the more boring you become.

This scene instantly made everyone's eyes shine.

God!

The director's performance perfectly portrays Cheng Yong's state.

Xu Zheng didn't have time to think about the performance, so he quickly picked up the mobile phone from the ground, looked at it, sighed at the mobile phone screen, and rubbed it twice with his hand.

It's good that I didn't throw it badly.

Subsequently, he followed Fang Ziheng's performance method and added his own understanding to perform again.

Should I say it or not, Xu Zheng's acting skills are indeed superb, and after watching it once, he grasped the essence of this scene.

"This time it's good."

Fang Ziheng gave a thumbs up and explained: "The opening theme is mainly to point out Cheng Yong's character.

He plays card games in the store, purely to pass the time, and it doesn't matter if he wins or loses.

Because of playing for a long time, he has a deeper understanding of the game, and he knows whether he can win or not after the halfway point of the game.

All of them always have a weak, casual and boring attitude! ”

"Director, I see!" Xu Zheng thought about it and said solemnly.

Speaking of which, he now likes the role of Cheng Yong more and more.

These days, he raises his fat at home every day, doing nothing, and living a life of clothes and food to open his mouth.

His wife Xiao Taohong knew that he was thinking about the role, and he even gave him the public food.

"Okay, just get it!"

Fang Ziheng nodded and looked at Brother Hu: "Next, Brother Hu, come here."
