........

Bona Pictures was having a hard time, which Fang Ziheng had already anticipated.

But he didn't expect that Bona wouldn't be able to sustain it for another year and a half, and was about to launch "Operation Mekong" in a hurry.

Originally, in his plan, he planned to invest with Baoli Group and start the project in the second half of next year.

Filming started at the beginning of 2015, and it was released on National Day. It’s a beautiful battle.

Yu Dong is a little anxious!

Fang Ziheng sighed in his heart and persuaded: "Yu Dong, "Operation Mekong" is a real military blockbuster. We can't rush into the project. Just wait."

"Director Fang, I also know the importance of Operation Mekong, but I really can't wait!"

"You don't know that although the superiors agreed to Bona's listing next year, they also made a requirement that they must control two or more movies with a box office of over 500 million before going public, otherwise the listing quota will be taken away by other film and television companies!"

Yu Dong spoke in a muffled voice, and Yapi looked ugly.

The phoenix that landed is not as good as a chicken. At this time, Bona has long lost the prestige it had three years ago. The so-called first overseas private film and television company has become the biggest joke in the industry.

If it weren't for the fact that the movies produced by Bona Pictures over the years had not been of good reputation, the higher-ups would never have let Bona return to the A-share market in a short period of time.

In the last life, Bona had a difficult return, and it was not until 2016 that it got out of the U.S. stock market. It took another six years to relist in 2022.

Ten years wasted!

Even though Bona Pictures has controlled many well-received and popular movies, it has still been severely scrutinized by relevant departments, and its road to listing has been delayed again and again.

In this life, Hengyu Media is at the forefront, and the evaluation and expectations of the film and television industry are more satisfactory than in the previous life.

In addition, the current industry environment is very good, far from the chaos of 2016, 2017, and 2018 in the previous generation.

Yu Dong listened to Fang Ziheng's words and asked Bona to return early. This move was 3 years earlier than in the previous life, and finally did not let the superiors target Bona.

Even so, the superiors also made demands on Bona!

If you want to go public, you must first reset everything and control two movies with a box office of over 500 million.

The superior strangled his neck very accurately, and instantly grasped Yu Dong's vagina. In just one year, he went on to produce two blockbuster movies.

Among Bona's current preparatory projects, only "Operation Mekong" can meet the requirements. Let alone 500 million box office, it is possible to have a box office of 1 billion.

But if it's hard to die, "Operation Mekong" won't be able to get off the ground before a certain point in time!

I want to take a picture, but I can’t!

Yu Dong complained, took Fang Ziheng's hand, shook it twice, and solemnly requested: "Dr. Fang, help me, I will definitely be grateful and remember it in my heart!"

In his heart, he also made a decision!

If Fang Ziheng really didn't want to do it, he would go to the Baoli Group and drag the giant Buddha along with him.

Bona is from Baoli. I think those old friends will cherish their old friendship and won't watch Yu Dong die.

Hey, both of them thought of Baoli Group.

Bona Pictures was the godson of Pauley Group in the entertainment field in its early years.

It was precisely because of the support of Paul Li in the early stages of development that Bona was able to obtain the distribution rights for Hong Kong films, and it has been held for so many years.

"Dr. Yu, do you think this is a good idea? The project will be approved after the New Year."

Fang Ziheng swallowed the last bite of food, took a napkin from the dining table and wiped his mouth. While wiping his mouth, he responded.

You can’t refuse anymore!

Yu Dong has already confessed. If he refuses again, he will offend others.

"After the New Year?"

"Okay, then Lao Yu and I will wait for a few months. Thank you, Director Fang!"

When Yu Dong heard this, his expression suddenly became happy, and he agreed after thinking for a while.

It’s just in time to get the project approved after the Chinese New Year. Even if the early preparations take time, it won’t be a problem until we start shooting in July or August.

As long as the project report is approved, Bona will have an explanation to its superiors.

Yu Dong breathed a long sigh of relief and solemnly handed over to Fang Ziheng.

He still has to find a second potential project to fully meet the requirements of his superiors.

"Look around first. If you can't find it, come back and ask Brother Fang for help."

Yu Dong murmured in his heart, regained his aura as an elder, stood up and left with joy, walking towards the crowd with eight-figure steps.

As soon as he left, a group of people saw the opportunity and surrounded him.

"Director Fang, congratulations, "The Founding of an Army" is so good!"

"Yes, in my opinion, this time it can break the record in film history."

"Come, come, come, let's all toast to Director Fang and wish "The Founding of an Army" a great box office success and break records."

"A box office hit, breaking records!"

A crowd of people gathered around Fang Ziheng, smiling happily. Some poured wine, some congratulated him, and their attitudes were extremely respectful.

Fang Ziheng picked up the red wine, shook it and clinked it with everyone, drank most of it in one gulp, and said with a smile: "Don't praise me, because of the audience problem of "The Founding of an Army", it is difficult to break the record. I will be satisfied with 1.5 billion!"

"

At this moment, he acted very modestly, completely different from the arrogance and confidence he displayed in front of reporters.

In front of reporters, what you want is to brag. The more explosive the content of the interview, the greater the promotion effect for the movie.

In front of colleagues in the circle, it is completely unnecessary. They are all foxes on the mountain, and no one knows who is who.

Some of the people who are touting in front of me may not be sincere in their congratulations. They probably want "The Founding of an Army" to be thrown off the streets!

........

At eleven o'clock, the dinner ends.

When we returned to the palace, it was almost early in the morning.

Fang Ziheng and Zeng Li first looked at little Yueyue and saw that their daughter was sleeping peacefully, then they hugged each other and went to the bathroom to take a bath.

"Sister Li, hold me steady!"

"Um..."

after an hour.

Zeng left like a hibiscus out of water, and returned to the bedroom as delicate and beautiful as a flower.

Fang Ziheng dried himself, put on his bathrobe and went to the kitchen to fill a bowl of soup, then walked slowly into the study on the second floor.

Shiquan Dabu Decoction has a rich aroma and is excellent for nourishing the kidneys. Zeng Li specially stewed it for him in the afternoon.

While Fang Ziheng was drinking soup, he opened a movie and checked the recent movie data.

last week!

The movie market is not booming, and no movie has a weekly box office of over 100 million.

"Very Lucky" starring Zhang Yihong and Wang Lihong topped the box office for the week with 85.41 million.

"Witness" starring Sun Honglei and Aaron Kwok ranked second, with a seven-day weekly box office of 78.45 million.

After the two domestic films, it was the turn of two Hollywood films.

Fourth place: "Speed ​​Snail", with a weekly box office of 53 million.

Fifth place: "The Smurfs 2", with a weekly box office of 50 million.

None of the other movies have been successful. Except for "Elysium", which was released on September 5, which grossed 20 million at the box office, none of them has exceeded 20 million at the box office.

Same thing this week.

In two days, only "Witness" and "Very Lucky" reported box office receipts of 41 million and 31 million, while "Speed ​​Snail" was worth over 10 million.

The release schedule of "The Founding of an Army" is unique. With the first-mover advantage, there were almost no rivals in the first two days.

The latest schedule of the movie is out, with 65% on the first day and 67% on the second day, occupying the highest share of the movie in the same period.

On the 28th, the day "Detective Dee: The Dragon King" is released, the number of films scheduled will drop to 45%, and 20% will be given to the other party.

In other words, "The Founding of an Army" must be an instant hit, ignite the movie's popularity in two days, and then use word-of-mouth to drive box office trends.

Only in this way can we continue to maintain our lead after "The Dragon King of God" is released and compete for more film schedules in the later stages.

After watching it for a while.

Fang Ziheng took out his mobile phone and dialed Ning You, director of Hengyu's publicity department.

All...

The call was quickly connected, and Ning You's calm voice came.

"Hey, Chairman!"

"Director Ning, what's going on online now?"
