Hengdian, hotel where the crew of "The Great Wall" stayed.

In the banquet hall.

With the host loudly shouting out the blessing of Box Office Changhong, the launch conference of "The Great Wall" ended perfectly.

The media reporters were satisfied, touching the bulging red envelopes in their pockets, and walked out of the hotel door chatting and laughing.

As soon as we went out, we started chatting with people we knew well.

"I really came to the right place today. Fang Ziheng is so interesting. The red envelope for a movie conference was actually four figures."

"Haha, "The Great Wall" invested 150 million U.S. dollars. Of course, if you have money, you are arrogant. It depends on Fang Ziheng's intention. This is to start the film and start promoting it from the beginning of filming!"

"Taking advantage of others and being soft-spoken. Have you guys thought about how to write soft articles when you go back?"

"How else can I write it? It has a big investment, a big cast, a production budget of up to 150 million U.S. dollars, and it is co-produced by several major film giants in the world. It is so popular that it can't be easily captured."

"Damn it, Fang Ziheng is still so old. Apart from telling us that it's a costume blockbuster, he doesn't know anything about the plot of the movie. He's so stupid."

"I guess, "The Great Wall" protects China and resists the Huns in ancient times. This movie must tell the story of the alien invasion and the Great Wall defenders rising up to resist!"

A few people were chatting, and the topic turned to the plot of the movie "The Great Wall".

One of the young guys, probably a fan of Fang Ziheng's movie, said with determination: "No, no, I don't think so!"

"I have watched all of Fang Ziheng's movies, some even several times. Starting from "Tang Detective", each of his movies will bring out an ultimate advantage!"

"What advantages."

A middle-aged man stopped and turned his head and asked.

The young man turned around, pointed to the "Great Wall" banner hanging above the hotel door, and smiled mysteriously.

""Tang Detective" embodies the perfect combination of suspense and comedy, and "Famous Detective" embodies teamwork."

"'Edge of Tomorrow' reflects the bravery and fearlessness of Chinese soldiers, and 'The Secret of the Dragon' presents the mysterious art of gold mining and the breathtaking vast underground tombs."

"The investment in "The Great Wall" is so large, and it seems that it will be distributed globally. Fang Ziheng will definitely take a certain point in the movie to the extreme this time. This kind of extreme is the same as in the previous movies, and foreign audiences will find it incredible when they see it.

"

The young man is very confident, talks eloquently, and has a lot of pretense in front of several media seniors.

Not to mention, this young man really got it right.

"The Great Wall" really wants to embody a certain kind of extreme!

This extreme oppression for thousands of years has made the name of the Tang Dynasty so powerful in Asia and Europe that it is still spread in overseas countries.

.........

After the opening banquet, the entire crew came to the Spring and Autumn Film and Television City. Tangyuan.

Fang Ziheng took China Film Director Han and Wanda Song Ge for a walk in the garden, pointing to the Xuanwu Lake and Suzaku Tower in the distance and said: "There are not many scenes here in Hengdian. There are only five filming locations in total. For the official drama, we have to go to Xiangyang."

Filming has just started at the Tangcheng Film and Television Base in Tianque City in the northwest of the desert."

"Director Fang has the final say on everything about the crew, so we won't ask any questions."

Director Han smiled and waved his hand, took out a document from his handbag and handed it over: "This is the approval document from the Longjiang government. The deputy governor in charge of culture called me and asked me to convey that the Longjiang government welcomes the crew of "The Great Wall" to come.

The Longjiang government will fully support the crew’s willingness to film in Daxinganling.”

"Director Fang, in order to successfully complete the filming of "The Great Wall", Director Wang made a special call to Wanda's Longjiang Branch and asked them to provide logistical support."

Song Ge laughed out loud and made a special point.

"Thanks to Director Han and Director Wang for their help. These two calls were so timely."

Fang Ziheng understood instantly and raised a sincere smile to thank him.

He has never been to Northeast China and is not familiar with the place. It is a taboo to bring the crew there hastily.

The three eastern provinces, the eldest son of the Celestial Dynasty!

With Director Han and Big Lao Wang coming forward, the crew will have less trouble when traveling to Northeast China.

The three of them walked and chatted, talking about this year's opening film work meeting.

"Private enterprises should pay attention to this year's meeting. According to survey data reports, from the end of last year to the end of February this year, the entertainment industry received tens of billions of cash flows in just four months."

"Both the amount of capital and the newly established film and television companies have broken past records. The superiors are worried that the influx of capital will break the current good ecological environment of the film and television industry, and they intend to adjust the policy."

Director Han looked at the crew setting up machines and preparing props on both sides and spoke in a slightly lower voice.

Fang Ziheng's eyes flashed, and he understood the deep meaning of Han Dong's words.

To put it bluntly, we are introducing a few restrictions to make the entertainment and film and television industries that are about to grow wildly more standardized.

Another one is to attack the major TV and film companies that are becoming more and more unscrupulous.

He vaguely remembered that the first blow was not on film and TV series projects, but on the other side, and it was directed at all major TV stations across the country.

In the previous life, 2012 was a crucial year for major TV stations to compete for ratings.

Various variety show toners appear.

"The Voice of China" and "Where Are We Going, Dad" both appeared on the stage this year and dominated the weekend ratings.

This life is even crazier. "Run, Brother" and "The Voice of China" were released last summer.

"Where Are We Going, Dad" was also released half a year ahead of schedule and will be available to audiences this summer.

Throughout last year, Hunan Satellite TV was suppressed by Zhejiang East Satellite TV. This year they have launched a flagship program, but I don’t know who will win.

It seems that Shonan Satellite TV made the first move.

Fang Ziheng recalled it carefully, and finally remembered the dispute between the two TV stations and the restriction order that spread to the entire variety show system.

Someone reported that Zhejiang East Satellite TV used tutors as a gimmick to sell the popularity of tutors. It was not a formal talent show at all.

Someone else reported that "Run, Brother" is all about celebrity Michael C. None of the seven members have hosting certificates, and the program is irregular.

Zhejiang East Satellite TV also came back with a report saying that the content of "Where Are We Going, Dad" has negative education for children.

In the end, the superiors were dissatisfied, so they chopped them down with a knife and gave each of them fifty slabs.

From now on, no matter how popular a variety show is, it can only produce one season a year with twelve episodes per season.

In the last life, this incident happened in 2013 or 2014. Why did it start now?

Fang Ziheng frowned, not understanding what went wrong.

"Director Han, I can't get away. This year's opening work meeting will be attended by Vice Director Lin on behalf of Hengyu Media."

"Oh, that's fine."

Director Han smiled slightly and walked forward without talking much about the meeting topic.

After an inspection, Han Dong and Song Ge left with expectations.

Fang Ziheng did not rush to start filming, and first let the actors walk through the rehearsal several times.

There is enough time this year, there are still nine months before the Lunar New Year release, and only the Beast Army needs special effects in the entire movie, so it’s perfectly timed.

He was even worried that the location construction progress would not keep up with the filming progress.

........

Half an hour later.

The actors are almost ready.

Fang Ziheng came to the director's seat, picked up the trumpet and gave orders.

"Everyone in your place!"

"Actors prepare!"

"Scene 10, first shot, start!"

Buzzing...

The drone took off and the set was cleared of people.

The extra performers of the palace ladies who had been prepared in advance came out of the corridor not far away with small steps and were scattered around the flowers in the Tang Garden.

Chen Kun dressed in emperor's uniform, took imperial steps, and made a shining appearance with Wu Meiniang played by Yang Xue.

"Mei Niang, I have just ascended to the great throne, and envoys from all over the world have come to congratulate me. I would like to entertain envoys from all over the world during the Lantern Festival to show off the majesty of our heavenly kingdom."

With a smile on his face, Chen Kun held Yang Xue's little hand, like a gentle breeze and drizzle, and said with an aura that was half gentle and half contemptuous of the world.

Yang Xue was wearing a gorgeous long dress and a phoenix crown on her head, with a quiet face. She bowed her head and smiled shyly, leaning on Chen Kun.

"Your Majesty, how can an envoy from a small foreign country not admire the majesty of our heavenly dynasty?"

"I heard that something happened in Tianque City?"

After chuckling, Yang Xue changed the topic, raised her pink neck, looked at Chen Kun and asked.

"Card!"
