Entertainment: I really want to make progress

"The relationship between Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping is completely broken. After "Thirteen Hairpins", the two will go their separate ways."

This is the explosive news released by an industry insider who did not want to be named and knew the inside story.

Key Zhang Weiping’s new picture did not respond to this.

Then, Ms. Pang Liwei, the head of Zhang Yimou Studio, announced the news: "Director Zhang Yimou's contract with New Picture has ended and he has chosen not to renew it."

The entire film and television industry was in an uproar.

The era when the duo, a golden pair of 16-year-old duo, joined forces to dominate Chinese movies has finally passed.

"Boss Jia of LeTV Pictures wants to sign Zhang Yimou at a sky-high price."

"Two Zhangs broke up, and the future of Zhou Dongyu, Ni Ni and other girls is uncertain."

"Zhou Yutang rushed to North America and secretly met with Zhang Yimou late at night. The new king and the old king of the film industry may join forces."

……………………

The reason why Zhang Weiping is able to dominate the Chinese film industry is only because of the national master's trump card.

Now that the national master has left, the new picture immediately lacks confidence.

This situation is like Mbappe entering the transfer market as a free agent in the football world, attracting the attention of many wealthy clubs.

The major domestic film production companies are completely in a state of excitement.

Most small and medium-sized companies can only look at the foreign world and sigh, and they are greedy for the melons. Because they have no strength, they simply cannot win the big Buddha of the National Master.

Only those companies with strong strength can turn their thoughts into actions.

Suddenly, the eight immortals crossed the sea, each showing his magical powers.

"What is a late-night secret meeting?"

Zhou Yutang was speechless when he saw the unscrupulous news headlines from the entertainment reporter.

It was a coincidence that the high-end restaurant where he and Zhang Yimou met in the United States happened to be photographed by an international student and posted online.

Then there was an uproar.

Wang Changtian from Guangguang also called and asked specifically: "Yu Tang, are you also interested in signing Lao Mouzi?"

"Let's get in touch first. I have a project in hand that I would like to hand over to Director Zhang. Is Guang Guang also interested?"

"It's not easy."

Wang Changtian sighed: "Boss Jia from LeTV is determined to win this time."

"That's not necessarily the case."

A slight arc appeared at the corner of Zhou Yutang's mouth.

Jia Yueting has made a lot of big news recently.

After establishing LeTV Pictures, a large number of celebrities joined the company.

Zhang Yimou is the top director in China, and Boss Jia will certainly not miss it.

Although Boss Jia once spent a lot of money to win the online broadcast rights of several of Zhou Yutang's hit dramas, providing him with sufficient start-up funds for his dream.

We all had a good relationship for a while, but there are no permanent friends in the entertainment industry, only eternal interests.

Boss Jia spends money to poach Xu Ming.

Zhou Yutang kept it all in mind.

This time, he will not give in when fishing for the big fish of the National Master.

The box office of "The Beautiful Girl" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" inevitably showed decline in the fourth week.

The following premiere of "Backlash" took place in early January.

Zhou Yutang had to put down the post-production work of "Love Like a Bouquet".

In fact, all the movie scenes for this movie were in his mind. When he was on the set, he was filming during the day and occasionally practicing at night. Most of the time, he was doing editing work. By the time the show was finished, the rough editing work was basically completed.

Zhou Yutang and Huo Wenxi are also old friends and were invited to attend the premiere of "Reverse War".

Accompanying him this time was Gao Yuanyuan.

Da Meiyuan is wearing a red tight dress today.

Fierce red lips, bright eyes.

Wearing a pair of long black boots, her temperament is gentle and elegant, showing the charm of a mature woman.

This film is the annual key project of Yinghuang Group.

Lin Chaoxian personally directed the film, with a total investment of nearly 200 million.

Starring Jay Chou and Hsieh Ting-feng, Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, it can definitely be regarded as the industry's top production with a luxury cast.

Huo Wenxi said that in order to film this drama, the crew went to Jordan, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Middle East and other places for filming.

After the regular interview process, it quickly entered the film screening session.

After Zhou Yutang finished watching the movie, he looked at Gao Yuanyuan beside him, rubbed his forehead, and asked, "Sister Yuanyuan, what's wrong?"

Gao Yuanyuan covered her mouth with her hands, leaned over and whispered softly: "There are too many action scenes. It gives me a headache watching it."

In this movie, action scenes account for almost 80% of the duration. Street speeding is just a small thing, but all are big scenes. Even military aircraft, tanks, rocket launchers and other equipment were borrowed.

Street fights in Jordan, chases in Kuala Lumpur airports, fierce battles on giant ships in the Indian Ocean, gun battles and weapon battles in Prince City

Director Lin also said in an interview that in one of the street shootout scenes in Malaysia, tens of thousands of live ammunition were used.

"I'm afraid, Boss Yang will have to pay compensation this time."

Zhou Yutang sat with his legs crossed, tapping his fingers lightly on his knees.

Lam Chao-hsien's big action scenes were well shot, but the action scenes were too intensive and the storyline was not realistic. It was like fighting just for the sake of fighting, making it difficult for the audience to get involved.

However, it has come.

I still have to talk about the scene. After the premiere, I went to the reception arranged by Yinghuang with Gao Yuanyuan.

Meeting classmate Zhou, whom he had not seen for a long time, Zhou Yutang smiled and stepped forward to say hello.

After completing the third season of "The Voice" as a mentor, Jay Chou withdrew from the mentor lineup of "The Voice" due to his busy personal schedule and inability to coordinate, and Harlin took his place.

Since "The Golden Jacket", Mr. Zhou has also participated in several major productions, but the box office of the movie failed to meet expectations.

Even the Hollywood movie "The Green Hornet" didn't make much splash in China. The current "Backlash" is Jay Chou's most valued work.

Meeting Zhou Yutang, classmate Zhou was very excited: "I watched the movie, how did it feel?"

"Wow, not bad."

"."

Classmate Zhou had a dark look on his face, but he was still very excited, and he even made gestures: "I'm telling you, you made it."

"It was really fun to film this movie. We specially invited professionals with military research experience to teach us how to hold a gun."

"So professional?"

"of course."

Jay Chou raised his eyebrows: "Your company seems to have a movie coming soon, right?"

"Yeah, a comedy, "囧"."

"I've seen it too."

Classmate Zhou laughed and said: "The movie "The Journey" starring Wang Baojun is really funny."

"It's a pity that no movie starring you is released. Otherwise, if we had another duel, I would definitely not lose."

"Good luck."

Seeing the tug-of-war look on Classmate Zhou's face, Zhou Yutang smiled and patted Classmate Zhou on the shoulder. He turned to say hello to Ning Hao and Xing Aina, and was directly pulled aside by Big Dog Brother to chat.

"Yu Tang, "Golden Heist" has been postponed to June next year, and "Border Storm" is scheduled to be released in March. The promotion plan is left to you."

"Big Dog Brother."

Zhou Yutang really didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "No, you just want to be a hands-off shopkeeper?"

I have seen investors who pay people to join the team.

I have never seen a film investor who only pays money, doesn’t block people, and basically gives it all away.

However, this is also the way Big Dog does things.

As long as it's someone he trusts, he can give him a lot of project autonomy.

"I can rest assured that you will do the work."

"Are you busy acquiring Digital Domain recently?"

"We are still discussing this, there is another matter."

Big Dog Brother said enthusiastically: "That's it. Recently, there was a bureau. Zhang Zhao took me to meet Wu Baige. There is a big movie project."

Zhou Yutang was stunned when he heard this.

It turns out that Wu Yusen is finally making a comeback after being dormant for several years.

This master of violent aesthetics has become a blockbuster without making a sound.

He promised to make a top-notch production in the industry, and threatened to spend one to two years preparing for Dongfang's "Titanic", but Zhang Zhao was shocked.

"Yu Tang, Boss Jia is very satisfied with this project. LeTV Pictures has confirmed investment. Are you interested?"

Big Dog Brother smiled and said: "My opinion is to leave this project to you to operate. When the time comes, we will directly kick Wu Baige out."

These words are a bit domineering. Obviously, in Li Ming's heart, Wu Yusen, a great international director, is far less important than Zhou Yutang.

This kind of thing has been done once in "Sword Rain", and he also got meat with Zhou Yutang.

But Zhou Yutang couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.

"Forget it, big dog brother."

Zhou Yutang shook his head: "I'll be back after the New Year, and I'll have to join the team soon."

"That movie "Celebrating More Than Years" produced by your company?"

"It's this drama, and then we have to do "Now You See Me". I really don't have time to take on other projects."

After a pause, Zhou Yutang finally spoke: "I think it's better to be cautious about this "Taiping Wheel" and try not to get involved."

Li Ming was slightly startled.

He had been friends with Zhou Yutang for several years and knew that Zhou Yutang would not say such things under normal circumstances.

The implication: Zhou Yutang is not optimistic about this project.

"let me think again."

The big dog brother nodded thoughtfully, his face a little solemn.

Brother Big Dog is a nice person and very loyal.

As a friend, Zhou Yutang would naturally help him if he could.

I couldn't bear to see him get on this ship that was destined to sink.

……………………

"Yu Tang, when will our movie be released?"

Gao Yuanyuan leaned her head on Zhou Yutang's shoulder and asked softly.

"Let's go in April. Then you can set aside a promotional period."

Zhou Yutang gently combed Da Meiyuan's shoulder-length hair with his fingers.

"Search" is a literary film, and the box office potential estimate made by the company was not as good as that of "Bouquet of Love", so after checking the schedule with China Film Group Corporation, it was placed in the May 1st slot.

The two of them hugged each other quietly on the sofa, talking about little things about life and work.

Gao Yuanyuan felt satisfied and fulfilled.

Beautiful women seemed to have fragrance on their bodies. Zhou Yutang suddenly became distracted and slipped his hand under Da Meiyuan's black sweater.

Sliding gently on the body that was as solid as fat snow.

The exquisite curves bring an extremely warm and soft feel.

Gao Yuanyuan slapped his hand away and asked with interest: "What do you think the final box office will be?"

"I do not know about this."

Zhou Yutang's eyes were deep and gentle, and he smiled: "I can only say that this is definitely one of the most amazing roles that you have ever played, Sister Yuanyuan."

The two of them were very close, and Gao Yuanyuan could smell the man's faint breath, which was as warm as the sunshine in winter, pure and clean.

Moved by emotion, she put her arms around Zhou Yutang's neck: "Take me to the bedroom."
