"I'm not the god of medicine"!

The previous life was probably filmed in March 2017 and released in July 2018.

It took more than a year, with several draft changes in the middle. It was not easy to successfully release it. It required the right time, right people and the right people.

As early as when Fang Ziheng traveled through time and made up his mind to return to the path of directing, this movie became a must-make.

He had written the script a long time ago and had been waiting for the opportunity.

Realistic-themed movies, because of their particularity, are often related to the relevant social environment and upper-level policies.

Since last year, relevant departments have begun to carry out medical reforms, and many special drugs have been included in the scope of medical insurance.

Although there is no ‘Indian Gleevec’ among these drugs, judging from social trends, it will be a matter of time.

As early as 2007, Indo-Gleevec entered China and became a life-saving straw for countless leukemia patients.

The reason why Fang Ziheng wants to film "I'm Not the God of Medicine" in advance is because the time is now ripe.

On the other hand, I naturally want to use my influence to help these leukemia patients do something.

In his view, as long as the movie can slightly speed up the inclusion of Gleevec in medical insurance after the movie is released, this will be enough.

Of course.

Fang Ziheng knows very well that it is not easy to change certain social status quos with a movie.

Only when the film's influence is unprecedentedly powerful and people from all professions and classes in the whole society know about the film, can they discuss the subject matter of the film and set off a frenzy of public opinion.

If you want a movie to set off a frenzy of public opinion, you must first make the movie's box office and reputation reach a certain level.

The huge movie-watching group is the important cornerstone for the movie to arouse widespread discussion.

With Fang Ziheng's current appeal and the size of Hengyu Media, he can already set up a stage for "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

………

In the office.

Wen Muye was extremely excited and carefully read the 20,000-word synopsis of the story. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

He clutched the A4 paper tightly and looked at Fang Ziheng, who had a calm expression, with an unclear meaning.

"Director, can this movie really pass the review?"

Fang Ziheng raised a provocative smile and said calmly: "You don't have to worry about passing the trial. I just want to ask you, do you dare to shoot?"

"dare!"

"Of course I dare to take pictures!"

Wen Mino's face straightened up and he answered loudly. His mood that had not yet calmed down was suddenly lifted up again.

Just take pictures if you dare!

Fang Ziheng nodded, pointed to the chair in front of the desk for him to sit down, and warned: "In this way, you can ask the literary editorial department to expand the notebook in the past few days. Remember, don't write a detailed script first, just use plain and simple language.

Write a touching story of 100,000 words."

"Then what?"

"Then you come to be my assistant director. Next year I have to shoot two films, "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" and "Tang Detective II". I will be too busy."

"What? What about this movie?"

Wen Muye was dumbfounded, his eyes widened, and he almost choked to death from Fang Ziheng's matter-of-fact tone.

"You're in a hurry!"

Fang Ziheng glanced at him, pointed at the A4 paper in his hand and cursed: "I want you to be the assistant director to give you a chance to show your face. This film must involve the China Film Group and let Director Han be the chief producer!"

"I heard that you recently hooked up with a junior girl at the film school. Her surname is Han?"

"Yes, my name is Han Jianu."

Wen Muye looked stunned. The thief leaned his head and asked in a low voice: "Director, does she know Director Han?"

Ah..

More than just acquaintance!

Fang Ziheng sneered and was too lazy to pay attention to this guy.

Why are you trying to hook up with someone else's daughter and ask them what their relationship is?

Whatever.

You can tell Director Han yourself when the time comes.

"Okay, you go and do your work first."

He waved his hand and issued an order to expel Wen Muye, who was in confusion.

When Wen Muye saw him chasing people away, he could only hold on to the outline of the story of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" and turned around to leave with questions on his head.

........

Time passed by, and before we knew it, it was the end of December.

This week, the weekly champion of the movie market is still "Zodiac".

After 11 days of release, the total box office exceeded 500 million, becoming the second movie this year with the potential to exceed 1 billion.

This week's second place, "Famous Catchers 2".

It was released for 22 days, with a weekly box office of 130 million, and a total box office of over 1.1 billion, making it once again the darling of the media.

Hengyu Media Group has created the third movie with a box office of over 1 billion, once again defending its title as the Lunar New Year champion this year.

Judging from the box office trend, the movie still has a box office of close to 12 million every day, and there is a great hope of exceeding 1.2 billion.

The media directly praised Hengyu Media for catching all the Lunar New Year shows and officially surpassing Huayi to become the top player in the Chinese film and television industry.

The group's influence and valuation have increased again, completely widening the distance from the other three giants.

Hao Yi, the director of "Famous Catchers", has also become a popular figure in major film and television companies.

According to the information received by Fang Ziheng alone, more than 30 film and television companies have contacted Hao Yi privately.

Hua Yi Brothers, Guangxian Media, Bona, Alibaba Pictures, Tengxun Pictures, Galloping Horse.

Except for Wanda Film and Television because "The Great Wall" has not yet been released, other well-known companies have extended an olive branch to Hao Yi.

Fang Ziheng understands the envy and jealousy of his colleagues very well. If it were him, he would definitely try his best to poach people.

He is calm and generous.

A phone call summoned Hao Yi to the office. In addition to giving the director a share of 15% of the mainland box office net profit, he also presented him with a cash check worth 18 million yuan.

Without him, make money together!

Fang Ziheng made it clear when he signed the director contract with them.

For movies produced by Hengyu, if the script is produced by the group, the director can enjoy a director's dividend of 5% to 20%.

If they bring their own scripts, Five Elements Director Company can also participate in the investment, and can own up to 30% of the project including the director's dividends.

The cash check given by Fang Ziheng is not included in the calculation and belongs to the category of rewards.

Hengyu Media has formulated a detailed director bonus system.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If the box office is less than 500 million, you can enjoy a 5% director's dividend.

With a box office of 500 million to 800 million, you can enjoy a 10% director's dividend.

If the movie's box office exceeds 1 billion, you can enjoy a 15% director's dividend.

If it exceeds 2 billion, it will be incredible, and the director's dividend will soar to 20%.

Hao Yi did not invest a penny in "Famous Catchers 2". If the director's dividend is calculated based on the total box office, he can enjoy a 15% dividend of the net profit.

At this point, among the entire Hengyu Media Group, Fang Ziheng's director has the highest salary.

He writes and directs himself, so he does not calculate the net profit, but enjoys a share of the net box office.

In other words, after deducting film funds, taxes, and theater income, he, the director, must be given priority in sharing the accounts.

Publicity, producers, and investors have to come last.

Hao Yi and others can only get dividends from the net profits of the producers and investors, and they have to deduct the publicity and distribution accounts first.

As a rule in the film industry, the publicity and distribution companies share the accounts first, and the producers share the accounts last.

Except for two popular works this week, the other movies released during the same period were quite different.

"National Security 1" directed by Fumiki Ye ranked third, with a weekly box office of 78 million and a total box office of 360 million.

Seriously speaking, this movie is a small test, and the first one is just to test the potential of the spy movie theme in China.

At the beginning of the film project, Fang Ziheng, Baoli Group, and Guangxian Media made a decision.

As long as the box office exceeds 400 million, the three companies will continue to develop the second part and make the scene bigger.

Anyway, with the endorsement of Baoli Group, there is no need to worry about whether it will pass the review, so just expand the types of films in the mainland market.

.........

December 29th.

Hengyu Media held a premiere ceremony for "Partners in China", taking the already popular Lunar New Year show to the next level.
