Entertainment: I really want to make progress

Happiness comes so suddenly.

Guo Fan was stunned for a moment, feeling as if he was dreaming. He regained consciousness, and his heart was still beating hard after a long time.

He swallowed his saliva and said solemnly: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

"You're welcome, I'm one of my own."

Zhou Yutang didn't draw a big picture for him. He just did some things without saying much.

Wen Muye's "Rescue Mr. My" rivaled several imported blockbusters and achieved impressive box office success.

Lu Yang's debut film "Xiu Chun Knife" is even more amazing, ranking among the top ten in the domestic box office list of the year.

The two became famous one after another and are now well-known new-generation directors in the industry.

Zhou Yutang expects more from Guo Fan, one of the three generals in Jiangdong.

For the sequel to "Now You See Me", he was going to give it to Guo Fan to practice.

There will be more important projects to be handed over to him later, which can be regarded as accumulating experience for him in advance.

certainly.

It doesn't mean that Zhou Yutang is the shopkeeper and has no regard at all.

He serves as the producer himself, is in charge of the final editing of the film, and controls the overall quality of the film.

Anyway, the theme of this series of movies is very clear, which is a fast-paced commercial movie with elements of gangsterism and a thrilling and dazzling magic show, mixed with some laughs.

During this period, two more spin-off dramas may be made to continue to improve the framework of the entire movie crime universe.

Of course, these are all things for later. The most important thing right now is the battle in front of us.

"Come on, Xiao Zhou!"

Liu Yifei is in Switzerland and took Aunt Liu to the Alps, and she did not forget to send her blessings.

"When are you coming back?"

After receiving a call from Liu Yifei, the fatigue caused by the hurried film roadshow schedule faded away, and Zhou Yutang's voice became soft unconsciously.

"It's still two days away. I've specially customized a watch for you, hehe."

"Didn't you give me a piece before?"

"That's different. This watch is my idea and was designed by a designer. It has special characters inside."

Liu Yifei's voice was sweet and sweet, but Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead, feeling that Miss Liu seemed to have something on his mind. Could it be that he was being too preoccupied?

Turning around, he threw these distracting thoughts away.

On the third day, the box office revenue was 95.27 million.

On the fourth day of release, which happened to be a Saturday, the box office revenue in a single day was 125 million yuan, which blatantly broke the previous box office record of 114 million yuan held by the imported blockbuster "Transformers 3"!

"Are you crazy!?"

Mr. Wang from Huayi was holding a promotional meeting for "Twelve Zodiac Signs". He looked at the data report sent by the film department. He, Chen Guofu, Jackie Chan and others were stunned for a long time before his lips moved: "Zhou Yutang is going to heaven. ah."

"There's only one week until the premiere of "Zodiac"."

Jackie Chan touched his big nose with some luck, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Fortunately, Mr. Chen and Mr. Wang have agreed to postpone the release. Otherwise, I don't know what the scene would be like if they met head-on."

When the original meeting was held to postpone the schedule, Jackie Chan was very vocal and opposed it.

He feels that although Zhou Yutang has a distinguished record, he has been popular for decades and has countless fans. He is not afraid of a head-on battle and can still stir up the topic.

Now seeing this amazing box office data, the arrogance in Jackie Chan's heart suddenly dissipated, replaced by heartfelt admiration.

"At least, avoid the edge."

Chen Guofu also rubbed his forehead and murmured: "I have a strong feeling that this time, Yu Tang may set many records."

"call!"

Fatty Yu from Bona was sweating profusely and opened the collar of his shirt. His belly was straight and he was breathing heavily. Wang Wei, the vice president next to him, handed over a tissue with great discernment.

“The air conditioner is a bit hot.”

After wiping the cold sweat from the shock and throwing aside the box office report of "Now You See Me", Fatty Yu said in a slightly weak voice: "Have you communicated with Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Runfa about the premiere of "Big Shanghai"?"

"It's all arranged, Mr. Yu."

"If we send out more press releases, we will meet head-on in a few days."

Thinking of that terrifying opponent, Fatty Yu felt a little numb and muttered: "If I had known earlier, we would have waited until January."

"Now You See Me" has dominated the Lunar New Year season with great success. It can be said that when people stand in the way, people will kill people, and when gods stand in the way, they will kill the gods.

Lu Chuan's "The King's Feast" has been forced to be released early, with a total box office of 78.75 million. Taro probably burst into tears.

And the little steel cannon that had promised to target 1 billion at the beginning also failed. "1942" struggled to pass 200 million, and the daily box office dropped to just over 2 million. It looked like it was about to run out of steam.

"Pi", which was expected to hit a box office of 600 million, is also losing momentum. Maoyan predicts that the total box office will be around 560 million.

The siphon effect in the movie market began to take effect, and the outcome of confronting this box office monster was disastrous. In the first five days of its release, "Now You See Me" had a box office of 485 million.

The whole Lunar New Year party was killed and corpses were scattered all over the place.

Inside and outside the circle, all eyes were focused on Zhou Yutang.

Countless discussions and comments about the movie have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

"Yu Tang's movie has brought great surprises to the audience. From a commercial point of view, it may be the best movie of the year. I was shocked when I saw it broke the single-day box office record of "Transformers 3" It’s a surprise, but it’s also a surprise, which shows that the environment of our entire Chinese film market is getting better and better.” Zhang Yimou said in an interview.

""1942" is a good movie, but from a commercial point of view, it is not as popular as "Now You See Me". I am convinced that I lost this time. Congratulations to Yu Tang for winning the box office. I came here too, and the road is still there. Long, keep up the good work.”

Feng Xiaogang, who was even trying to be defeated alone, was rarely soft-spoken when he and his wife Xu Fan came out of the cinema to watch a movie and were blocked by the media.

It’s okay not to accept it.

This kind of box office performance is like a god coming down to earth and sweeping away all enemies.

The headlines of various entertainment portals, as well as domestic film and television review variety shows, also mention Zhou Yutang’s name:

"Hello everyone, welcome to "The Movie", I am the host Rongrong."

"I am the host Xiaoxian."

"Hey, Xiaoxian, do you know which movie is the most popular during the Lunar New Year?"

"Of course it's "Now You See Me" directed by Zhou Yutang."

The host Xiaoxian exaggerated in a playful tone: "It's so exciting, it's like watching a magic show. I know I've been cheated, but I'm still intoxicated. I really want to see how everything will develop."

"It is true that the process is full of unexpected turns and suspense. This movie has successively set multiple box office records in Chinese film history. Yesterday, the box office of the movie was as high as 125 million!"

"Let me tell you another trivia fact. Director Zhou Yutang broke his own record. He said that he just wants to make progress. He is really making progress, and it feels like our Tianchao Films have also taken a big step forward. No worse than imported Hollywood blockbusters!”

The two hosts shared their movie-watching experience, and finally the female host Rongrong concluded the show. She sublimated the theme with an emotional tone: "Actually, we all know that magic is not real, but we are willing to pretend that it is real."

"There are also many exaggerated elements in "Now You See Me" directed by Zhou Yutang, just because a large number of ordinary people already have too much depression in real life."

"Perhaps everyone goes to the cinema not to pursue art, but to gain a short-term experience that cannot be obtained in reality."

"There is no doubt that Director Zhou Yutang gave us such a wonderful feeling. I think I will watch it a second time with my best friend, because when I watched it for the first time, I missed a lot of magic details."

First-line TV stations such as Mango, Magic City, Suzhou, and Blue Channel also broadcast various prime-time news about the amazing achievements created by "Now You See Me".

Even CCTV broadcast a series of amazing records set by "Now You See Me" on Sunday.

It's a compliment, no doubt about it.

Taking away the records that Hollywood's imported blockbusters have placed on China's films has a more important meaning besides movies.

"It's a pity, it's too fast, less than a minute."

Listening to Zhou Yutang's words of Versailles, Ni Ni opened his mouth and found that he no longer had the energy to complain.

She followed Zhou Yutang on road shows across the country and was very tired.

Yesterday we were in Magic City, today we will go to Hangzhou, and tomorrow we will go to Jinling.

Airborne all over the country, the work intensity is full.

Zhang Yi's bitter face became even more bitter, and he looked as tired as a forty-year-old man.

Even Gulinazha, who was happily planning to stay and fly with Zhou Yutang at first, looked like a cabbage that had been exposed to the sun, with a bit of fatigue on her delicate face.

Looking back at Zhou Yutang.

Getting more and more excited.

He seems to be born to stand on this big stage and shine brightly, showing his perfect and full-spirited posture in front of the audience.

He even has the time to manage his time and handle calls from several women at the same time.

While Ni Ni lowered her head to reply to the message, she cursed in her heart: "My boss is too energetic. No wonder he has so many confidante."

In the past few days, Zhou Yutang's cell phone has always been on her side, and the congratulatory text messages and messages from all directions have never stopped.

Except for a few big shots who made calls to beauties and familiar friends, others who were not familiar with them basically used Penguin, WeChat, text messages, etc.

Ni Ni was busy processing the news, and her delicate hands were almost exhausted.

When Zhou Yutang received a call from Zou Zhongyan, he had just finished today's road show in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, and had a hot pot meal with his team to relax a little.

After rinsing a piece of tripe, he took the cell phone handed over by Ni Ni and immediately put down his chopsticks.

"Yu Tang, congratulations on the box office success of "Now You See Me". Even Hollywood has reported that a director here has taken a liking to your script."

"Also, the nominations for the Golden Globe will be announced soon. It is unlikely that you will win the award, but this is the best result you can achieve. You have to come here next month."

After confirming Zou Zhongyan's public relations results, Zhou Yutang received another call from the old man Bob, saying the same thing, but in a slightly exaggerated tone.

The Chinese film market has amazing potential, and several major Hollywood companies are eyeing it.

Zhou Yutang turned to give Han Sanping a breath of air, "Mr. Han, the Golden Globe Awards ceremony is on the 13th next month. Can we go there together?"

"I won't go. There are several conferences to be held, and then "In the Name of the People" has to be watched. If I really can't leave, let Lao Meng go with you."

Han Sanping laughed heartily, and Zhou Yutang could understand.

At the end of every year, Mr. Han, who sits in the position of head of China Film Group Corporation, always has endless meetings. Lao Meng is the vice president of China Film Group Corporation and is considered an acquaintance.

After chatting about the box office trends for a while, Zhou Yutang could feel that Han Sanping was in a happy mood.

The next day, Hollywood Foreign Press Association president Ada Tucker O'Reilly announced the Golden Globe nominations along with actors Jessica Alba, Megan Fox and Ed Helms.

"The Mainland film "Search" was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and "Life of Pi" directed by Li An was nominated for the Best Drama Film!"

News is like a passing hurricane.

Domestic media and the Internet, various hot reports, caused an uproar again.
