Entertainment: I really want to make progress

Liu Yifei's foreign languages ​​are very good.

Perhaps she has language talent in her own right, but it is mainly due to the environment in which she grew up.

I traveled across the ocean with Aunt Liu since I was a child, went to school in America, and developed fluent English.

Later, Aunt Liu deliberately trained Tianxian, and Tianxian also learned French and even took singing and dancing classes at Neon. Although the practice time was less than two and a half years, he could still speak a few sentences in Japanese.

When we got together in the evening after the New Year, it was a little farewell that was better than a newlywed. It was rare that she got into the mood, so Liu Yifei accompanied Zhou Yutang to play role-playing between teacher and student for a while.

Zhou Yutang wanted to make progress so much that he spared no effort in learning foreign languages.

Liu Yifei is preparing for "Super Body" during this period, and she has to attend Milan Fashion Week in two days.

The time of top artists is so precious, and Zhou Yutang is no exception. The Spring Festival holiday is over, and the company has a lot of things to deal with.

"The first season of "Flowers and Boys" was pretty good."

Zhang Yibei, who was following up on the work report in Beijing, had an interview in the office. Zhou Yutang had seen the first version of the material and edited it, and also put forward several suggestions for improvement.

Of course, the most important thing is to fully affirm her work: "You did a good job, just for this light and warm style."

"Mr. Zhou, do you want to follow the variety show on the Magic City Channel?"

"Let's wait until Mango's ratings come out."

"Okay, Mr. Zhou."

Zhang Yibei went back in a hurry.

She didn't even take a break during the New Year and kept in communication with the program team throughout the whole process.

The ratings of the latest variety show "Flowers and Boys" promoted by Mango Channel are also related to the projects on Modu Channel.

Putting the variety show aside for the time being, just wait for it to blossom and bear fruit. The Imperial Master and his team returned to China with great honors, and Zhou Yutang held a celebration banquet for them at the Dynasty Hotel tonight.

After Guoshi's film won the Golden Bear Award, the copyright was snapped up. Excluding Asia, the copyright was sold for US$13.8 million.

According to the current exchange rate of US dollar to RMB 6.28, the copyright alone can be sold for more than 80 million, which is a huge profit in foreign exchange.

At the celebration banquet that night, Li Shuang sent out invitations, and many big names in the circle came.

The Deng Chao couple seemed unaffected by the scandal some time ago. They looked as loving as ever and were talking to Guangguang boss Wang Changtian.

"Yu Tang, congratulations."

Li Binbin didn't have any other ideas at all because he failed in the competition for the heroine of "Super Body". When they met, he took the initiative to give Zhou Yutang a loving hug.

Even Huang Xiaoming came over stubbornly on crutches to support him.

The entertainment reporters in the entertainment industry smiled crookedly. Every time Zhou Yutang celebrated his victory, everyone had endless footage to shoot.

Zhou Yutang met Yu Dong from Bona in the banquet hall. Fatty Yu had just returned from Berlin. He obviously knew the inside story of the copyright transaction, and his tone was a bit sour:

"Mr. Zhou, Jiangdong has really made a lot of money this time."

"Make a little profit."

Zhou Yutang said modestly: "It's not as big as the Yu family."

The two exchanged a few business words, and Fatty Yu was speechless.

What does it mean to make a little money?

This horse riding is called a small profit of a few hundred million! ?

After deducting the production cost from the copyright fee alone, it has already earned eight figures, and the subsequent domestic box office, that is all money!

Watching Zhou Yutang turn away, Fatty Yu smacked his mouth and muttered: "It's a pity that Lao Mouzi was not signed at the beginning."

When a big fish like Guoshi entered the free market, various entertainment companies scrambled for it.

Fatty Bona once promised him a huge profit, but he still missed the mark and was defeated by Zhou Yutang.

Now it seems that both sides have achieved mutual success.

Lao Mouzi regained his prestige as a great director, Zhou Yutang also gained fame and fortune, and Jiangdong Entertainment's golden brand became even louder.

Zhou Yutang didn't have the nerve to irritate Fatty Yu, so he turned around to find Zhang Songwen and gave him a hug: "Brother Songwen, congratulations."

"I would also like to thank you. Without you, I wouldn't have this trophy."

Zhang Songwen squinted his eyes when he smiled. He drank a lot tonight and his face was a little red.

"Don't be so disgusting."

Zhou Yutang rubbed his arms, shook his head and laughed: "You deserve this award."

"Hunting" directed by Guo Shi is like a simple but bloodless knife that slowly destroys the life of Zhang Songwen, a middle-aged man, bit by bit.

"Isn't that movie finished?"

"Nope."

Zhang Songwen shook his head and said: "I took a leave of absence from the crew to go to Berlin. I will be back on set tomorrow morning. There are still several scenes there."

"Brother Songwen, thank you for your trouble, Tang Yan has caused trouble for you."

"Tangtang is doing very well."

A wry smile appeared on Zhang Songwen's face unconsciously: "Yes, there is quite a lot of room for improvement."

"Those who are able work harder and take care of her more."

Zhou Yutang immediately became happy.

The most amazing thing about Zhang Songwen is not his acting skills.

It is his ability to teach his students.

This may also be his unique talent. His tone is gentle and approachable, and his speech is slow but often able to hit the point.

Zhou Yutang learned a lot from him when he first debuted. Zhang Ruojun and Zhu Yilong also took lessons from him and made some progress.

Zhang Songwen almost single-handedly promoted the growth of the acting skills of the three major domestic entertainment dungeons, and saved the eyes of many viewers.

From this point of view, truth is a blessing.

The two were talking and laughing when one of the three hell dungeons, Da Tiantian, appeared.

"Teacher Songwen, congratulations, you are the first Chinese to win the Best Actor in Berlin."

"hehe."

Zhang Songwen squinted and smiled: "Tiantian, you have a movie coming soon, right?"

"next month."

Jing Tian was talking to Zhang Songwen, his eyes kept wandering around Zhou Yutang.

"Come on, let's chat with the young people. Director Zhang seems to be calling me."

After a few simple exchanges, Zhang Songwen stood out. After all, he was one of the protagonists at the celebration party tonight, and there were many entertainments from major directors and film and television company bosses in the industry.

"Brother Yu Tang."

Jing Tian was wearing a pink dress tonight, looking invincible and youthful.

Those big bright eyes glowed softly, and they laughed as soon as they saw Zhou Yutang, with a sweet voice: "Next month, "Introduction to Architecture" will be released."

"I've seen the finished film and you did a great job."

"Really?"

Jing Tian said with a little anticipation: "Brother Yu Tang, will you come to the premiere then?"

"No matter how busy I am, I will go there."

Produced solely by his own company, Zhou Yutang certainly has to stand up for it.

After hearing Zhou Yutang's affirmative reply, Princess Tian smiled with crooked eyebrows, obviously extremely happy.

"Produced by Soochow Pictures, Zhou Yutang serves as the producer and screenwriter, and Xue Xiaolu directs. The movie "Introduction to Architecture" stars Zhang Songwen, Gao Yuanyuan, Zhang Ruojun, Jing Tian, ​​and Shen Teng. It will be released on March 8."

Promotions for the film have been underway since February.

The movie posters deliberately enlarge Zhou Yutang's name, and the effect is really good.

"Is this adapted from a short story written by Zhou Yutang in his early years?"

"Written by Zhou Yutang, directed by Xue Xiaolu, and starring Berlin's best actor, the quality is definitely worth watching."

"On the Maoyan app, pre-ordering in advance only costs 19 yuan. It's really cheap."

Many fans who have come to follow Jiangdong Film and Television dramas are looking forward to it.

Zhou Yutang glanced at Ni Ni who was carefully sorting out his opponents.

There's Meryl Street's "The Iron Lady: Strong Tenderness," which tells the story of Margaret Thatcher.

Although the quality of the film is good and helped her win the Oscar for Best Actress last year, its appeal to domestic audiences is definitely limited.

Then came "Midnight Train" by Huo Siyan, "Xiao Hong" by Xiao Songjia, "Love God" by Zhong Hanliang and Wang Ziwen.

The biggest opponent should be "The Martial Arts with Laughter" directed by the fat man Wang Jing and starring Wang Cho Lam, Sandra Ng, Eric Tsang, Fatty Hong, Xie Na and others.

There are a total of 7 new films released on the same day. After all, the March 8th film is also the tail end of the Spring Festival film. It is a festival, so it is impossible to get a share of the pie.

at the moment.

However, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" still dominates the situation.

The box office in the first week exceeded 500 million, which is even more powerful than "Lost in Thailand" and "Bouquet of Love" which exceeded 1 billion last year, and second only to Zhou Yutang's "Now You See Me".

Followed closely by Ning Hao's "No Man's Land", which grossed about 134 million in its first week, followed by "101 Proposals" by Huang Bo and Sister Zhilin, ranking second at the current box office.

The imported Hollywood blockbuster "The Hobbit" also entered the theater one after another to participate in the battle.

At this time, another foreign media news spread back to China.

"Neon's old film magazine "Film Weekly" announced the results of this year's top ten film awards."

"Last year, "Love Like a Bouquet," which swept the neon film market, topped the top ten overseas films of the year, and director Zhou Yutang won the Readers' Choice Overseas Film Director Award."

When the news spread back to China, the film and television industry could not help but be shaken on a small scale.

The Film Weekly Awards are considered to be Neon's more prestigious awards. However, Zhou Yutang was not present, and Li Shuang was asked to accept the award instead as a producer.

Doing this would be a bit disrespectful, but Zhou Yutang thought it didn't matter.

There is no point in being polite to the Neon Man. As long as he is strong enough, the Neon Man will still take the initiative to lick you.

Wang Changtian and Ye Ning didn't know if they had an appointment.

At the same time, they came to visit Zhou Yutang’s Vision Media, and they were full of praise.

"Yu Tang, you, Vision Media, are quite powerful."

Wang Changtian walked around and was filled with emotions.

According to the previous model, color grading, sound, and editing were all done separately. Vision Media, run by Zhou Yutang, completely integrated the entire film post-production process.

The two parts of "The Four Famous Catchers" are shot together. There is no need to look for other places for the post-production, it can be done directly at Vision Media.

"It took a little effort, but it's pretty decent."

Zhou Yutang smiled and said with a bit of pride: "From now on, Mr. Wang and Mr. Ye will take care of the business and arrange more orders."

"necessary."

Wang Changtian and Ye Ning laughed together.

This is actually what Zhou Yutang had after watching the operation of Warner's film department.

The industrial system there is relatively mature, and each department in the film segment is like countless parts on countless film production machines.

How to promote the industrialization process of the entire Chinese film industry?

Make blockbusters, special effects blockbusters.

Through targeted training of young technical talents in subdivided areas of the entire film industry, they grow in practice from the subtle to the overall. This is a subtle process.

Except for stylist Chen Gufang, makeup artist Song Xiaotao, lighting engineer Mao Jianxin and others who were recruited by Zhou Yutang from Tangren.

Golden Scissors Du Yuan, who works closely with Lao Mouzi, includes Chen Minzheng, the chief costume designer of "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

Photographer Zhao Fei was a classmate of Lao Mouzi. He followed Jiang Wen in "Let the Bullets Fly" and was kidnapped by Zhou Yutang at that time.

There are also senior talents such as art and dubbing, all of whom Vision Media has in-depth and close cooperation with.

Each person leads a group, and below are the members of the corresponding field group.

These team members are relatively young. They may be from film schools or other art schools. Some of them worked their way up from the bottom.

These people all have a common characteristic, that is, they have talents in certain corresponding fields.

"Only you have the confidence to play like this."

Wang Changtian shook his head, feeling vaguely impressed.

Nowadays, film and television companies in the industry are pursuing how to make hits, raise funds, and promote the listing of the company.

Companies that have successfully gone public are also keen on this.

A hit movie can raise the company's stock price, which means benefits at the capital level.

Zhou Yutang does not pursue hits, because his name means hits.

All the film and television dramas he produces have good reputations and box office success, and the profits are astonishingly high.

So even Guangguang and Huayi didn't dare to do this.

Zhou Yutang did it.

The special effects department alone has burned hundreds of millions, and integrating other resources will also cost money.

Follow his pattern.

Another five years, ten years.

What has been passed down is the solid foundation of the Chinese film industry in the future.
