Entertainment: I really want to make progress

The drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan" directly took Hui Province Channel, which was not originally a top-rated TV station, into the top five in the domestic satellite TV ratings rankings.

The whole Hui Province and Taiwanese people feel like celebrating the New Year.

As for the top three, there is no doubt that they are the Yusan Family.

Mango Channel, Modu Channel and Jiangsu Province Channel also aired this TV series on stars, and they also won the ratings championship successively, with the ratings share remaining high.

Moreover, Yusanjia itself has several top variety shows, with a strong foundation and a large audience base.

However, Huizhou TV station's ability to break into the top five has already made many TV stations in the industry so jealous that they beat their chests.

We used to be good brothers who lived a hard life together, but now the good brothers drive a Land Rover.

You can't blame others either.

Many TV stations participated in Jiangdong Entertainment's film viewing party, and even participated in the bidding process afterwards, but they did not have the determination and courage to fight to the end like Huizhou TV.

The plot of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is stable, unlike "My Love from the Star" which has novel and explosive points. However, after the broadcast, with the steady development of the plot, although the ratings did not skyrocket, they were steadily increasing.

Many celebrities in the industry are following the drama and posted photos of them on their Weibo along with lines from the drama.

The provincial actress Chen Qiaoen is a Weibo expert. She posted a line from the heroine Zhen Huan on Weibo, which immediately became a hot search topic.

at the same time.

There have been many second creations on the Internet, and the protagonist in the play has been made into many emoticons and widely circulated.

There are also many "Zhen scholars" emerging, similar to those who specialize in promoting the study of "Red Studies".

certainly.

This is just a joking title. Most of them are posted by some viewers on major forums analyzing the plot, or posting jokes and in-depth interpretation videos.

This also caused the TV series to attract widespread attention and discussion.

Not to mention that everyone knows it, but it is also extremely popular.

If you haven't watched "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and you chat when you go to work, your colleagues around you will look at you as if you are looking at a savage.

Similar to "You actually don't listen to Jay Chou", "You actually don't watch Zhou Yutang's dramas" have outrageous meanings.

Since the four-star broadcast of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", in conjunction with the early publicity releases and the popularity, it has been in the top three of Baidu search list and Penguin search list and has never been down. It is also listed on Weibo's hot search list every day. superior.

Unprecedented popularity.

It has also made Zeng Li's popularity soar after winning three TV drama awards this year.

Even Jiang Xin, who plays Concubine Hua, and Cai Shaofen, who plays the queen, also received great exposure.

Jiang Xin's career development has not been smooth after being in Tian Long Ba Bu, but since the broadcast of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", when she uttered the line "Bitch is hypocritical", a group of drama fans climaxed on the spot.

The famous eye-rolling scene was even screenshotted and has become the most popular classic emoticon nowadays.

During the broadcast of the TV series, Jiang Xin's Weibo account gained hundreds of thousands of fans every day.

At this time, Zhang Jing was in Benzhou, and he knew that his wife had made a name for herself through this drama, so he called Zhou Yutang specifically, his voice full of gratitude:

"Boss, thank you very much."

When he and his wife Barbecued Pork Fen came out of Zhouyi Company, they were struggling in the industry and were frustrated.

After joining Jiangdong Entertainment, Zhou Yutang first gave him the big cake of "Sword Rain", and then his wife Cai Shaofen also got the role of the queen in "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

Although this was just a word to Zhou Yutang, it really changed the fate of this couple.

The queen played by Barbecued Pork Fen in the drama is known as the captain of the abortion team, and her phrase "I can't do it" is also the most popular meme nowadays.

The TV series are still being broadcast, and the management team has already received some business endorsements. Starring in such a hit TV series, Cai Shaofen's popularity has skyrocketed.

"Don't talk about this if you are a member of your own family."

Zhou Yutang laughed: "How is the situation over there?"

This time Zhang Jing is representing the crew of "Sword Rain" to attend the Golden Horse Awards held in Wan Province in late November.

Although "Sword Rain" is not as evil as "Big Shot", it can still be regarded as a high-quality martial arts film.

In one fell swoop, she received six nominations for Best Director, Best Art Direction, Best Original Film Song, Best Actress, Best Action Design, and Best Cinematography.

Zhou Yutang naturally received the invitation, but he wanted to coordinate the preliminary preparations for "Thieves", so he asked Brother Big Dog to bring the crew and creative members there.

"The awards ceremony is coming soon, so it's hard to say yet. But according to the media here, the best action design should be very promising."

Zhang Jing was humble.

"Haha, let's meet again when you come back."

Zhou Yutang said in a leisurely manner.

The action directors of "Sword Rain" are Zhang Jing and Dong Wei. With the abilities of these two people, coupled with the results of "Sword Rain", the best action design award is basically guaranteed to be in the bag.

The ratings of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" have been rising all the way, and the careers of several leading actors who were in sluggish careers have taken a step up. Zhu Yilong and Zhang Ruojun have a lot of roles in it, and they have further established themselves as the new generation's popular niche.

But it’s not just the main creators who have taken off, the supporting characters have also benefited a lot.

Jing Tian has a base of Running Man fans, and his performance in the drama this time is also remarkable, and his acting skills have been recognized by many viewers.

Gulinazha also unexpectedly became popular.

"Sister, my Weibo has gained more than 200,000 followers!"

Gulinazha hugged her sister Gulinati and smiled like a flower.

"real or fake."

Gulinati was doubtful: "You are just playing a supporting role in it, how come you have gained so many fans?"

"I'm good-looking!"

Gulinazha hugged her sister, took out her mobile phone like a treasure, and clicked on the posts she had collected that praised her appearance.

"Sister, look."

"It's true, Zhou Yutang is really amazing."

Gulinati secretly admired her.

She didn't believe that her love-minded sister could be popular.

But it seems that Zhou Yutang has already gained a certain fan base for Guli Naza even before he even praised her.

Guli Naza's acting skills are not up to par. In this drama, she plays a concubine in the harem. She doesn't have many roles, but she can't stand up to Naza's good looks.

After the TV series aired, many viewers asked online who this beauty is.

A few days ago, a post appeared on the Internet commenting on the beauty of the harem beauties in "The Legend of Zhen Huan". It was very popular. Unexpectedly, Guli Naza's popularity was very high. She was only ranked below the starring Zeng Li, and she didn't even need Jiangdong Entertainment to publish it. After drafting the article, self-owned media reporters began to hype it up.

In addition to Naza, Mao Xiaotong, Kan Qingzi, Tan Songyun, Tang Yixin and others have also received varying degrees of exposure, and have entered the audience's field of vision since childhood.

Having participated in such a popular drama, compared with other newcomers who have just debuted, they immediately won at the starting line.

The ratings of this palace drama are still rising steadily, and it has shocked a group of professionals in the film and television drama industry.

"These ratings are unscientific."

"Did Zhou Yutang buy the ratings?"

"He wouldn't do such a thing. Compared with "My Love from the Star" and "Latent", the ratings can only be considered satisfactory."

"What you said makes sense. I can't find a reason to refute it. It is indeed far from a phenomenal hit."

"Just wait, it's broken three so quickly. According to this ratings growth curve, it's very likely to break four. It's another hit TV series."

Although some people were optimistic about "The Legend of Zhen Huan" before, there were also many experts who were pessimistic about it.

After all, TV dramas are becoming more and more fast-paced nowadays, and "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is a 76-episode drama.

However, the ratings gave these so-called experts who looked down on the show a hard slap, which made their faces swollen.

For such a film and television drama that is undoubtedly a hit, many film and television companies in the industry have begun to analyze the reasons for its success.

Find the reason for success and then make another TV series of the same type. This is a common routine in the TV series circle.

A senior actor expressed his opinion: "The choice of actors is very important. Zeng Li played Zhen Huan vividly, but I admire Jiang Xin's acting skills more. She showed her attitude as a little woman to the emperor, her fighting state to the queen, and her attitude to the queen. The contemptuous state of the concubines underneath forms a very sharp contrast, and he is a good actor."

A senior art director commented: "A lot of thought went into the costumes and accessories of "The Legend of Zhen Huan". It is said that the cost is tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. I have a friend who works in the costume team of the production crew, and the big dress in the middle of Concubine Hua's head is Phoenix is ​​a genuine product worth around 100,000 yuan, and Zhou Yutang is really willing to spend money on it.”

A famous editor also lamented: "You may not have noticed a detail. Outside the walls of the Forbidden City, only the sky can be seen. During the post-production of this film, the rolling green mountains outside the red walls of Hengdian were erased frame by frame. This way. Paying attention to details is exactly how Zhou Yutang works.”

The gold medal screenwriter in the industry was also impressed: "The plot is tight and logical. The initial stage is from Zhen Huan entering the palace to the fight against Concubine Hua. I predict that the next plot trend will definitely be a fight between the queen and the emperor, advancing layer by layer and interlocking. Every step is startling, and the audience's sense of anticipation is well raised. The gray line of grass and snakes is foreshadowed for thousands of miles, and Zheng Xiaolong's sword is still young."

Zeng Li went out with the creative team to promote the drama, and Zhou Yutang didn't watch "The Legend of Zhen Huan" either.

Mainly because he watched the finished film of this drama several times and almost vomited.

I surfed the Internet in the company's office and read the comments on various forums.

At present, Douban has tens of thousands of people rating it, with a score as high as 9.6.

It received a double harvest of ratings and word-of-mouth.

According to this trend, as the TV series continues to be broadcast and even re-broadcasted later, the Douban rating may drop. However, the quality of the TV series is here, and the basic rating is so high that even if it drops, it will not drop much.

Zhou Yutang received calls from the director of Hui Province Channel, Zhou Linfeng of Jiangsu Province Channel, Ouyang Changlin of Mango Channel, and a deputy director of Modou Channel.

There is no need to wait for the midfield, the champagne can be opened at the beginning.

Zhou Yutang dialed Mao Xiaoyu's mobile phone: "Xiaoyu, please inform the TV drama business department and tell Lao Xu that the webcast rights can be released. If the price is less than 76 million, there will be no negotiation."

Last year, the package price of the "Classmate" series was sold for 60 million. The ratings of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" may not be as good as "My Love from the Star", but the audience is undoubtedly wider than that of "Classmate", and its discussion level is not low. , and its success lies in the large number of episodes, setting a TV drama sales record in China, and the online broadcast rights can also be sold for a lot of money.

This is also related to the fact that domestic video platforms have become an outlet for capital.

Since the listing of LeTV, the arms race among video platforms such as Youku, Tudou, and Sohu has also reached a white-hot stage.

Everyone is throwing money like crazy.

Only then did Zhou Yutang have the confidence to shout out the sky-high price.

Feeling comfortable and having clear thoughts, Zhou Yutang browsed the news on the Sina portal website and unexpectedly saw a piece of news.

"Yang Lei filed a lawsuit in court, and Tudou may have no hope of listing on the U.S. stock market."

After clicking in, Zhou Yutang's thick eyebrows furrowed quietly.

This Yang Lei is not a celebrity, she is the host of Modu Channel. In addition, she is also well-known as the wife of Wang Wei, the boss of Tudou.

Previously, the two fell in love at first sight, and from falling in love to getting married, it was a beautiful story.

As a result, Wang Wei filed divorce proceedings with the court twice after being married for just over a year, causing quite a stir.

Zhou Yutang's heart moved slightly and he called Tian Ming: "Brother Ming, do you know Yang Lei?"

"You're not going to have sex with her, are you?"

Tian Ming was a little surprised.

"What are you thinking about, Brother Ming?"

Zhou Yutang's expression twitched slightly.

"Then what do you want her to do?"

"Learn about the divorce case of Potato boss Wang Wei."

"You are such a big star, why are you so nosy?"

Tian Ming complained ruthlessly.

"Haha, I just saw the news and I'm a little curious, what's going on?"

"I just finished dinner with my friends from the court last night."

Tian Ming said that it was a treasure trove: "I heard them talk about it. This woman is really not simple. She hired a professional team of lawyers. She opened her mouth and asked for the division of 38% of Tudou's equity. Now the court has frozen Tudou. Equity interests in several companies under the name of CEO Wang Wei”

"Is this the beauty of marriage?"

"That's what happens when you get married. From a legal perspective, part of the equity owned by Wang Wei, the boss of Tudou, is the joint property of the couple."

"In the face of interests, human nature really cannot stand the test."

After talking about this matter with Tian Ming, Zhou Yutang was also deeply moved.

Some women are not successful enough, but they are more than capable of failing.

Tudou is now sprinting to go public. After crossing this hurdle, a large amount of cash inflow will promote business expansion. Tudou can be said to have leapt over the dragon's door.

But some people are trying their best to hold back. Not to mention that Tudou will suffer a huge blow to its vitality. It will definitely be in dire straits in a short period of time, and it is foreseeable that it will be left behind by its competitors.

perhaps.

Is there any way to start a video website?

Zhou Yutang tapped his fingers on the table and thought thoughtfully.

Late November.

After "The Legend of Zhen Huan" set off a viewing frenzy in the mainland, it was successively broadcast on China Television and Xiangjiang HD Entertainment Channel.

attracted more widespread attention and discussion.

Many people compare this drama with the originator of the palace drama "Golden Branch Desire".

The TVB palace drama "The Golden Branch" was broadcast in 2004. Although this group drama could not hide the distortion of its scenes and the narrow layout, it had a strong style and high degree of completion in terms of conception and character creation. After it was broadcast at that time, , very hot.

Although the shadow of "The Legend of the Golden Branch" can be found in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the story is innovative and the direction is different from that of "The Legend of the Golden Branch".

There is no winner in the ending of "The Evil of the Golden Branch". Either they die, they escape, or they are imprisoned in the Forbidden City for life, leaving a vast white land that is really clean.

"The Legend of Zhen Huan" focuses more on describing the process of the heroine Zhen Huan's gradual transformation from a white flower into a big devil.

Growing along the way.

In the harem.

If someone stands in the way of a person, he will kill someone; if someone stands in the way of a Buddha, he will kill the Buddha.

It has a look and feel similar to an upgraded novel.

certainly.

Putting aside everything else and the different amounts of investment, the quality of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is undoubtedly better than that of "The Legend of the Golden Branch".

Zheng Xiaolong spent basically all of the past two years on this drama. Not only did he invite Zhou Yutang to discuss the plot several times, but in order to realize the weight of history, he even went to the Forbidden City in person to discuss with experts the characters and features of the Qing Dynasty. Customs and etiquette, we also invited Qing history experts as etiquette guides and joined the team to provide relevant training to the actors.

The ratings on China Television in Benzhou are extremely high. Within a few days of broadcasting, the ratings reached 2.97, with an average viewership of about 654,766 people per minute.

This is already the provincial Chinese TV series's ratings champion of the year, and it also achieved extremely high ratings when it was broadcast in Xiangjiang.

So far.

"The Legend of Zhen Huan" can be said to be the most influential TV series of the year that has swept across the Taiwan Strait and three places.

This also means that Jiangdong Entertainment’s annual key project has been a great success.

Zhou Yutang was on his way to visit the crew of "Shanshan is Coming" when he received a call from Big Dog.

"Those who step on horses really don't have any shame."

Big Dog Brother has a bad habit of being a gangster, so he greeted the Golden Horse Awards Organizing Committee in an elegant and easy-going manner.

It's not that "Sword Rain" only won one for Best Action Design, but that it was highly controversial at several important awards at this year's Golden Horse Awards.

Su Zhaobing lost the competition for the Best Director Award to Zhong Menghong of "The Fourth Picture", and the Best Picture Award went to "When Love Comes".

Lu Liping defeated Yu Feihong of "Sword Rain", Xu Fan of "Tangshan Earthquake", and Sylvia Chang of "Guanyin Mountain" with "Playing Cool Youth" to win the Golden Horse Best Actress.

There's a mole on the jury.

After the award ceremony, the explosive news was released anonymously.

He said that in the second round of voting in the movie selection, Sylvia Chang received 8 votes, Lu Liping received 7 votes, and Xu Fan, who only received 2 votes, was eliminated. In the end, Xu Fan's 2 votes were added to Lu Liping.

The reason is that both of them are mainland actors.

Xiaogangpao didn't give any face at all. He fired directly after the award ceremony and supported his wife Xu Fan, calling him a "victim of the line struggle."

Suddenly, the media was in an uproar.

Faced with countless doubts, the chairman of the jury Huang Jianye finally couldn't sit still and came out to explain: "Some judges thought that her performance was too strong."

Xiaogangpao doesn't care what chairman you are, but Huang Jianye is the one who is criticizing: "As a director, I feel that there is no problem with Xu Fan's performance at all. "Big Earthquake" ranked second at the box office of Tianchao Film, which shows that countless audiences recognize her performance. May I ask which judge is so unprofessional and arbitrary?"

"I am not afraid of offending others, because others are never afraid of offending me."

He not only supported his wife, but also made fun of Sun Haiying from the air.

Who is Sun Haiying?

The husband of Lu Liping, the winner of this Golden Horse Award, is also a well-known angry young artist in the circle.

When the nominations for this year's Golden Horse Awards were announced, he said: "If Lu Liping does not win the award, it means that the Golden Horse Awards are not real."

Usually I can't stand this or that.

In the first half of this year, at the press conference of the drama "Peer Gynt", Sun Haiying once fired at Feng Xiaogang: "The same is true for Chinese movies. There are always two or three people jumping around in China now. What is Feng Xiaogang pretending to be - of course , he is not an art film director. Popular celebrities like Zhou Yutang are all directing entertainment films, and China is already a desert for entertainment films!"

It was obviously a quarrel between two people.

But because Zhou Yutang was too aggressive, he was shot while lying down.

Zhou Yutang is a low-key person and never pays much attention to these mouthy players, because they only have mouths.

However, as one of the most popular fans, Jiangdong Shuishi, his fan, was extremely dissatisfied. At that time, he organized an organization and blocked Sun Haiying's Weibo account.

The little steel cannon was not enough, so he continued to fire off: "In my opinion, Ruan Jingtian's performance in "Mongolia" is completely inferior to the other nominated actors. I doubt the professionalism of the Golden Horse Awards."

The top three directors in China are still well represented.

This time Xiaogangpao was indeed right. When Zhou Yutang was browsing Weibo, he forgot to cut the trumpet and gave him a like with his swipe.

Who are the nominees for Golden Horse Best Actor this year?

"Ethan Juan "Monga""

"Wang Xuexi's "October Siege""

"Ni Dahong's "Dialysis""

"Qin Hao's "Night intoxicated by the Spring Breeze""

Ruan Jingtian defeated these three acting talents and won the Best Actor. It was simply outrageous to open the door for his mother. It was outrageous.

After the Golden Horse Awards ended, countless people in the industry began to attack wildly. Even the local media in Wan Province were dejected and did not dare to speak down.

Huang Jianye, the chairman of the Golden Horse Awards jury, was so sweaty that he held several press conferences to clarify, "Ruan Jingtian's performance in "Monga" made people see something different about him."

"The Golden Horse Awards jury is here to recognize the outstanding performances of young actors."

Zhou Yutang called Wang Xuexi and Qin Hao to express condolences.

He has cooperated with both of them and has maintained a good relationship in private.

Teacher Wang Xuexi was unable to attend the Golden Horse Awards this time due to passport issues. Fortunately, he did not go.

As for Qin Hao, he is very open-minded. After he became popular as the villain in "My Love from the Star", he has blossomed in both commercial and literary films. Now he is constantly getting roles. He starred in Wang Xiaoshuai's "Rizhao Chongqing" and has received many film projects. The film "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" produced by Guo Shi has been filmed, and she has several other film contracts in hand.

"President Zhou is here to visit the class."

On the crew of "Shan Shan Is Coming", with an excited shout from the floor manager, director Lin Yufen announced a half-hour break, and the entire crew was shaken.

They swarmed towards Zhou Yutang who got off the nanny car.

I finally caught the wild Zhou Yutang, who signed autographs and took photos with me.

"Boss, why are you here?"

"Come and see you."

Mao Xiaoyu led the crew to distribute milk tea and cakes to the crew. When Zhao Liying saw Zhou Yutang, she was also moved.

Big, round eyes, that little face, and a casual and cute round head.

It's really hard to describe how cute and cute she is.
