Chapter 191 Chatting with the international leader(1/3)
October 1st!
During the National Day holiday, the whole country celebrates together.
The turbulent film market is also inexhaustible with the seven-day holiday.
First of all, "Lost in Thailand", which dominated the National Day holiday, hit a box office of 125 million in five days in the first weekend, and easily exceeded 200 million in eight days.
The second-hand "Love of Hawthorn Tree" was released for 16 days, with a total box office of 170 million. Relevant institutions predict that the movie will be at least 230 to 250 million.
The title of Lao Mouzi's movie master was mentioned again. Movie fans were happy to come to Weibo of the new picture and scolded Zhang Weiping for not being a thing and deserved the collapse of the new picture.
At the same time, "Inception" released for one month quietly won 400 million box office.
The media doesn't want to mention this, but they can't resist too many fans who like science fiction blockbusters, so that "Inception" has one hot search after another in the past two days.
Many people went to Fang Ziheng and Hengyu Media's Weibo and muttered to ask when "Edge of Tomorrow" will be released.
A buddy gave a picture of sighing to the sky, shouting that the Chinese science fiction blockbuster has been suffering for a long time, and I hope that "Edge of Tomorrow" will not disappoint the public.
Fang Ziheng @ this guy and replied, "Saturday, see you during the New Year's Eve"!
In addition to the above three movies, "Die Renjie: The Empire of the Heaven" premiered on the evening of the 28th has attracted more attention!
20 million on the first day!
26 million the next day!
On the first day, that is, on National Day, "Die Renjie: The Empire of Tongtian" ushered in a big explosion, reaching the 35 million mark in one fell swoop.
The fourth day fell slightly, with 32.7 million, and exceeded 100 million in four days, which is even more fierce than "Lost in Thailand".
Mr. Xu has been sharpening his sword for five years, and relied on "Die Renjie" to eliminate the decline, and was praised by the media as the only martial arts film master after the new century.
Huayi's stock has once again ushered in spring, with a total market value of 22 billion. Wang Zhongjun even shouted a slogan of over 900 million in an interview.
900 million!
Lao Wang is really thinking too much.
When Fang Ziheng heard the news, he shook his head and laughed.
Not to mention 900 million, it is estimated that it is impossible to make a 450 million discount.
In the previous life, "Die Renjie" also started with Tianhu, and then opened high and low, and the mainland barely reached 300 million soft sister coins.
In this life, "The Four Famous Captains" has opened the way. According to principles, "Die Renjie" is released, which can naturally absorb the accumulated fans.
But the wonder is that first, "Love of Hawthorn Tree" became popular inexplicably, and it broke the routine from a film that exceeded 100 million and entered 200 million.
Then "Lost in Thailand" was released early, and it took the lead to grab most of the movie-watching traffic during the National Day holiday.
When Di Renjie met these two opponents, he was probably the same as in his previous life. He suffered a tragic Waterloo after the first weekend and was defeated in disgrace.
October 3.
A private restaurant in the imperial capital, in an antique private room.
Fang Ziheng and Lao Taozi sat opposite each other.
On the small round dining table, there are seven dishes and one soup, and a small pot of Maotai national wine made of blue and white porcelain.
The two chatted and laughed, drinking leisurely.
The topic goes from famous places and historical sites in various parts of the country to anecdotes of celebrities from various dynasties and generations, and finally returns to the movie itself.
Lao Mouzi graduated from the Beijing Film Academy Photography Department. He took on the camera for the first time in 1984. He collaborated with Zhang Junchuan and Uncle Daoming on "One and Eight" and worked with Chen Daren on "Loess Land".
In 1986, he starred in "Old Well" and won three actor trophysical champions in one fell swoop.
He directed his first film for the first time in 1987, "Red Sorghum", and won the Golden Bear Award at the first international film festival in China.
As far as movies are concerned, Lao Touzi is definitely a top figure at the master level, capable of directing, acting and filming.
Especially in photography, pictures, and composition, it has reached its peak.
In the entire Chinese film and television industry, and even the world's film field, Lao Mouzi's capture and conception of film pictures can definitely rank among the top five or even the top three.
Lao Mouzi's only weakness is the screenwriter.
The movies he made were all very simple, and many rhythms were not driven by the plot, but by the pictures and actors.
It was not until the release of "The Cliff" that this situation improved slightly, but not much.
The two of them talked about their understanding of the movie. Most of them were Fang Ziheng asking questions, and Lao Mouzi was responsible for explaining.
Fang Ziheng does have many shortcomings in his attainments in movies. It is rare to meet a movie master, so of course he has to learn his skills.
After three rounds of drinking, the two of them drank almost the same.
Fang Ziheng put down his chopsticks, took out a small stack of A4 paper from his bag and handed it over, and said with a faint smile: "Director Zhang, I have a notebook here, please take a look."
"Oh script!"
Lao Touzi's eyes flashed and he looked at Fang Ziheng in surprise.
He had been waiting for the other party to make the offer, but he didn't expect that the meal was almost finished and he took out a script.
The operations of young people are indeed different from other film and television companies!
Lao Mouzi secretly praised in his heart, drank the wine in his glass, reached out to take the A4 paper and browse it.
"The Year of Dream Chasing"!
Four large black words came into view.
Just by looking at the name of the script, Lao Mouzi guessed the type of the script.
This is an art film!
He shook his head in his heart. He just filmed "The Love of Hawthorn Tree", and he wanted to shoot a commercial blockbuster in the next film.
He grasped both literature and art and business, and this is his film career path.
Of course, not wanting to shoot now does not mean that you don’t want to shoot in the future.
The key is to look at the script or not!
Speaking of the script, Fang Ziheng is a master.
Could it be
Lao Mouzi's heart moved and he lowered his eyes and turned the paper open.
Three minutes later.
Lao Touzi's eyes lit up.
He likes this book!
Ten minutes later, the outline of 10,000 words was finished.
Lao Mouzi breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and stared at Fang Ziheng with a bright look.
"Director Fang, did you write this book?"
"Not bad, I just wrote it out for less than two days!"
Fang Ziheng nodded gently, got a glass of wine for Lao Tozi, and smiled and said, "I want Director Zhang to come and shoot this book."
"I'll take a photo?"
Lao Touzi let out a light cry and tightened the A4 paper tightly held in his hand.
Heart is moved!
He was moved.
I just had the idea of not making art films, but this was all over the country.
Take a commercial film for a chicken feather!
Nothing is important to win an Oscar!
At this moment, Lao Touzi finally understood why everyone in the circle called Fang Ziheng a screenwriter expert.
The outline story of just 10,000 words is no less than any excellent award-winning art film script.
If the filming effect is good, there is definitely a chance to hit the Oscar!
sharp!
Awesome!
Lao Touzi praised him repeatedly and lamented that Fang Ziheng was extremely powerful.
"Director Fang, I'll give you a cup!"
"Director Zhang is polite, I should respect you!"
Fang Ziheng smiled, picked up the wine glass and touched Lao Touzi gently.
The two tacitly agreed without discussing the specific details of the cooperation, nor did they mention the conditions required for Lao Mouzi to join Hengyu Media.
This is the occasion!
