Sina Entertainment: "With a total investment of up to 500 million soft sister coins, the unprecedented mythological special effects blockbuster "Immortality" was officially established, and Fang Ziheng, the first director of Chinese, will open a national audition in the near future to select suitable roles for the movie! ”

Netease News: "In October last year, the international director Fang Ziheng announced two new films in one go, a realistic medical theme "I am not the God of Medicine", and a mythological blockbuster "Immortality".

Today, the total box office of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" has successfully exceeded 3 billion, topping the box office champion in Chinese film history.

The second new film "Immortality" is about to be launched, and the mythological theme is also a new theme that director Fang Ziheng tried again.

At last night's celebration banquet of the God of Medicine, director Fang Ziheng was interviewed by reporters, and proudly announced that the new film was aimed at 4 billion, vowing to present a mythical masterpiece to the public! ”

As soon as the celebration banquet ended, the situation at the scene was announced by the media and spread at a very fast speed.

3.6 billion!

4 billion!

The report with pictures and truth shocked countless peers in the circle who did not attend the dinner.

Compared with fans and netizens who watch the excitement, peers know better what the concept of 4 billion box office is.

It's really not that they look down on Fang Ziheng and look down on Chinese movies!

The box office of 4 billion is not at the same level as the box office of 2 billion and 3 billion, and the box office of 1 billion has increased horizontally, and the result of qualitative change has occurred across the high platform.

Just like "I Am Not the God of Medicine", "Tang Detective 2", "Hong Kong", "The Great Wall", and "Transformers 4", the two sides are not opponents at the same level at all.

The reason why "The God of Medicine" was able to rush to the height of 3 billion was completely benefited from the theme of the movie, which attracted the attention and discussion of the whole people.

What is in Immortality?

Is it impossible to rely on mythological themes and special effects blockbusters to fly!

Zhou Xingchi's "Journey to the West" and this year's Spring Festival "Havoc in Heaven" are all mythological themes, and one of them is still a comedy, and it only got 1 billion box office.

Although you Fang Lao Liu is stepping up every year and the box office is growing rapidly, if you want to break the 4 billion bundle with an unknown mythological film, you're afraid you're not floating, right?

Don't believe it, we don't believe it!

Many peers were the first to question after seeing the report.

However, everyone didn't believe it, and they didn't stand up to add to the blockage, but posted a post on Weibo to support, looking forward to "Immortality" meeting the audience as soon as possible.

Look, this is the sophistication of human feelings!

Movie fans and netizens are different, eating melons and watching, so unhappy.

Don't say that Fang Ziheng only shouted 3.6 billion, even if he really shouted 4 billion and shouted 5 billion, they were also happy.

After all, who isn't a fun person on the Internet!

"Haha, it has to be Fang Ziheng, a small target of 3.6 billion, this pretending to force me to give full marks!"

"Awesome, look at this tone and attitude, other directors probably only dare to think about it in their dreams!"

"Coco Jiang was interviewed by reporters a few days ago, and in response to the box office expectations of "One Step Away", he quoted a figure of 1.5 billion, at that time I thought Coco Jiang was exaggerating, but now it seems that Lao Jiang is still conservative!"

"I forgot if I didn't say it upstairs, "Monster Hunt" controlled by LETV is known as a big cast, and when the press conference was launched, I only dared to shout 1 billion box office, compared to Fang Ziheng, one by one, don't be too sober!"

"Hey, buddy, Monster Hunt has a hard time!"

"Not to mention anything else, just boycotting the matter of absorbing independence, I will serve Fang Ziheng, and the entire entertainment industry will also respond to him head-on, and dare to call on the whole industry to boycott!"

"This can't be blamed on other people, Uncle Long is still here, everyone has to give some face to the seniors, besides, Uncle Long doesn't say anything, don't care about the rebel anymore!"

"Okay, let's not talk about those bad things, let's talk about the plot of "Immortality".

"Let's talk about die, don't look at whether Fang Lao Liu sings a high note, he is a ghost, when did you see him reveal the inside story of the movie in advance!"

"Damn, I really want to knock Fang Lao Liu's head open and see in advance what the expected 3.6 billion box office movie looks like?"

"Count me in, tonight we will go to Hengyu headquarters to block Fang Lao Liu!"

"Upstairs is not stupid, if you want to block Hengyu's beautiful star, it's useless to block a big man!"

"Ahh

"Roll coarse, the first choice for micro powder is my big honey!"

"What Qianqian, what honey, is Li Qin not fragrant, or Jiang Shuying is not beautiful!"

"Draw the sword, everyone, the heroine must be my rich flower!"

"The heroine must be my big Tsing Yi ion, who is in favor and who is against!"

"I'm against it, when my iron doesn't exist, right?"

"Sissi: Let's go together!"

Under the major topics, fans and netizens skipped the initial happiness and cared about the specific situation of "Immortality".

Mythological masterpieces, except for the TV series "Fengshen Bang" and "Journey to the West", there are no enough shocking and classic works.

The only "Legend of Shushan", which has made a new idea, still belongs to the category of Xianxia and is not in the ranks of mythology.

"Journey to the West" was originally very good, but it took the road of comedy, which is too different from the mythological theme.

As for "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", don't talk about it!

On the whole, netizens are full of expectations for "Immortality", hoping that Fang Ziheng will make a mythological movie with unique Chinese characteristics.

After all, when the Chinese people were children, who did not yearn for the gods who came and went high in the sky.

After the celebration banquet, Fang Ziheng directly took his sister back to the building.

August 18th.

He crawled out of the gentle incense, rubbed his waist and came to Hengyu's headquarters.

This week, he ran away from the palace and on both sides of the duplex building, living a life of clothes and stretching out his hands to eat and open his mouth.

Concubine Lin, Zeng Li, Andy, and Song Yi are four beauties, arranged and combined, and there are many patterns.

Hengyu headquarters.

As soon as he stepped into the chairman's office, the secretary Fang Rou followed in and informed Director Guo Fan and the two screenwriters of the cultural editorial department that they had been waiting for a long time.

"Let them in."

Fang Ziheng took off his suit, waved his hand at Fang Rou, walked to the rest room, opened the summer refrigerator, and picked out a can of Jianlibao that he usually likes to drink.

Syllable.

Grunt.

"Ah cool, it's still the taste after hours!"

Fang Ziheng wiped his mouth and carried a few bottles of Jianlibao to the sofa in the hospitality area and sat down.

Knock knock

After a while, Fang Rou came in with Guo Fan, Tianxia Ba Sing, and another screenwriter.

"Hello chairman!"

"Lao Guo, Ba Sing, come and sit, what are you looking for me?"

Fang Ziheng nodded at the three of them, pointed to the sofa in front of him, and asked directly.

"Chairman, let's come over and ask you to take your eyes."

Guo Fan glanced at Tianxia Ba Sing, stepped forward with a smile, took out a document and handed it to him.

"Chairman, the second draft of "The Wandering Earth" has been improved, please point out the deficiencies."

"Oh, I'll see." Fang Ziheng took the document and said in some surprise.

In less than a month, the second draft of the script was completed?

Immediately, he flipped through the document and read it carefully.

In the document, in addition to the script of "The Wandering Earth", there is also a project plan.

Guo Fan obviously came prepared, and after learning from the writer Liu Cixin, he accelerated the preparation of "The Wandering Earth".

While adapting with his colleagues in the literary editorial department, he used his power for personal gain, and used his identity as the deputy director of Hengyu Film Division to let the production department, film production department, and props company step up preparations for the film.

Unlike the famous directors and directors in the outside world, Hengyu Media is a large group, and it has long been a period when the grass tower team has been built and relied on the director's fame to attract investment and people.

Any movie or TV series must be jointly evaluated and approved by several departments.

"The Wandering Earth" is not exempt from vulgarity, although the project was proposed by Fang Ziheng and designated as directed by Guo Fan, the follow-up still has to go through the group procedure.

Movies, going through the program has the advantage of going through the program, being more prepared, and there will be no problems when shooting.

Fang Ziheng scanned the planning book, didn't read it much, and focused on the script.

He also recognized the joint ability of several major departments of Hengyu Group.

As stated in the script, "The Wandering Earth" tells the story of the earthlings who worked together before the destruction of the sun, went through many tribulations, and finally escaped from the solar system with the earth and wandered to the starry sky of the universe.

Because it is a second draft, the script is not written in detail, and many of the plots of the original version are not available.

Fang Ziheng read carefully, and from time to time drew out the advantages, essences and shortcomings with a pen, and gave suggestions to the third and fourth drafts.

Ten minutes later.

Fang Ziheng put down the pen and documents, raised his head, and said to Guo Fan, who was pinching Jianlibao with an expectant face: "Old Guo, the script is very good, you can use it after two or three more refinements." ”

"Hehe, with your words from the chairman, I am completely relieved!" Guo Fan smiled innocently and slapped a sycophant.

This guy is also a good person, in his last life, he relied on a flicker to pull Wu Jing into the water, not only got the actor, but also brought follow-up investment for the movie.

Fang Ziheng ignored Guo Fan's sycophant, took a sip of Jianlibao, and asked in a condensed voice: "Tell me, how do you think the movie should be made?" ”

Ahem

"Chairman, that's what we think."

When it came to business, Guo Fan was also serious.

The big grin disappeared in an instant, and he sat up straight and said seriously: "You definitely can't shoot according to the original book of "The Wandering Earth", it's too depressing, dark, and many of the dark complexes in the book are not suitable for appearing on the big screen!" ”

"Nonsense, just get straight to the core theme of the movie!" Fang Ziheng's eyes widened, interrupting Guo Fan's foreshadowing.

You're talking about redundancy!

"The Wandering Earth" not only ridicules the fate of mankind, but also has compassion for the lives of ordinary people, as well as a large number of dark complexes and depravity of human nature, and fools know that they can't be filmed according to the original book!

"That.. That"

Being glared at by Fang Ziheng, Guo Fan shrunk his neck, rubbed his hands and whispered: "I think you can focus on Eastern heroic justice or Western family warmth, and choose one of them as the core theme of the movie!" ”

"Chairman, look, I have studied Hollywood science fiction films over the years, either taking the ultimate personal heroism, or taking the routine of the protagonist standing up for the sake of his family without hesitation."

"Is there a third way?"

"Yes, a combination of both!"

Guo Fan's chest straightened and he said what was in his heart.

Oriental heroes, sacrificing their lives to move all mankind.

It's too high!

The warmth of a Western-style family is a Hollywood blockbuster with a baby, the family is the most important, and saving the world is just a piggybacking hand.

Too little love!

He doesn't want to follow any of the routines, he wants to merge the two and find a core selling point suitable for the majority of Chinese audiences.

Fang Ziheng didn't speak, his fingers lightly tapped his knees, and he fell into consideration.

Guo Fan's idea is the core theme of the original version of the previous life, which can be said to be very good and fully adapted to the mainland audience.

But it is precisely because of the integration of the two cores that the plot of the movie is too procrastinating and verbose, and it is not cool enough.

In the previous life, the total investment of the original movie was 350 million, and this was the result of Guo Fan and several parties' careful investment.

It took a long time to shoot, and the movie came out in the grind!

In this life, Fang Ziheng invested 500 million yuan to give the highest level of support to "The Wandering Earth".

Big investment, not that there must be a big report, but the finished effect must be better than the previous life.

Otherwise, he'll be reborn and!

Therefore, Fang Ziheng is thinking about how to make Guo Fan more accurately position Eastern-style heroism and Western-style family warmth, and how to make it more perfect between the two, so that the finished effect can be taken to a higher level!

After thinking about it, he put forward a new suggestion: "Lao Guo, it's still the same sentence, movies must first be based on the local area, and there is no need to learn Hollywood everything." ”

"In my opinion, the core tone of the film focuses on the country and the nation, and uses the way the protagonist does things.

In addition, the family also has to be taken into account, which is the second core of the movie, and it is shown in the form of chats and calls. ”

"Two cores, one main and one auxiliary, are presented to the audience with different shooting methods, don't deliberately emphasize and dilute the protagonist's choice between the country and family!"

"Got it!"

Guo Fan's eyes lit up and nodded heavily.

They are all adults, who are still entangled in the country and family, and they naturally want all of them if they have the ability and conditions.

If you don't have the ability or the conditions, then you will come back after the ordeal!

work, do things, speak with events, don't sing high-profile, the movie is not like reality, and the audience knows at a glance that the protagonist is a person who serves the country and the people.

In the process of the protagonist doing things, add some family warmth into it, and present it in the form of chats and calls, and the emotional resonance will come.

It doesn't need to be described!

High!

Tall!

Or the chairman of the board of directors!

Guo Fan reopened the script and picked up Ziheng's suggestion under the note, and the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.

The world bully on the side, seeing that the first thing was almost over, also took out a document from his briefcase.

While handing it to Fang Ziheng, he said with a smile: "Chairman, I have already completed the first draft of the script for the second part of the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series, please take a look!" (End of chapter)
