Entertainment: I really want to make progress

"The Dragon King of Shendu" is Huayi's biggest hit in the National Day schedule.

Tonight's premiere was huge.

Led by Huayi Xiao Wang, project director Chen Guofu, genius director Xu Ke, Zhu Yilong, Yang Ying, Feng Shaofeng and other crew members were present.

In addition, Feng Xiaogang, Gu Changwei and his wife, Huang Bo, Big Beard, etc. also came.

"Welcome Director Zhou to come and support us."

Seeing Zhou Yutang enter the venue, Mr. Wang's eyes lit up, a kind smile instantly appeared on his face, and he took the initiative to greet him.

"I wish Mr. Wang's movie a great box office success."

Zhou Yutang said hello lightly.

"Yu Tang, I really envy you. The box office of two summer movies reached 1.3 billion. September is so deserted, and the box office of "Witness" has almost reached 300 million."

"I can't beat Mr. Wang's "Dragon King of Gods", so I have to put it up."

"Haha, you are still so humble."

Ni Ni listened to the two people exchanging polite business blows.

Although there is a competitive relationship between Huayi and Jiangdong, senior officials from both sides are still polite when they meet in some public places.

This "Dragon King of Gods" uses Zhu Yilong as the male protagonist.

Zhou Yutang chatted with Wang Zhonglei for a few words, then turned around and was approached by Chen Guofu.

Since his exit from Huayi, Chen Guofu has not faded out of the film and television industry.

His qualifications are here. He did not accept the olive branch offered by Alibaba, LeTV, etc., and chose to start a new company. He was also elected to the ninth session of the China Film Association.

"Yu Tang, I heard that you brought Warner's special effects team here a few days ago?"

"Mr. Chen, your information is really well-informed."

"How's the post-production of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" going?"

Chen Guofu is also extremely concerned about the Ghost Blowing Lamp series. When he was the director of Huayi Film Department, he even approached Zhou Yutang to discuss cooperation on this project.

It's a pity that he failed to come up with the bargaining chip that made Zhou Yutang's heart beat. He first collapsed because of the two parts of Tai Chi.

"It's hard to tell. Mr. Chen, come over and give me some advice when you have time."

Hearing Chen Guofu talking to Zhou Yutang about this, the ears of another director from Huayi, Niao Ershan, stood up.

"Okay, it will open my eyes too."

Chen Guofu smiled and nodded in response, and Niao Ershan beside him finally couldn't help but said: "Mr. Zhou, can I go and have a look too?"

The expectant expression was like that of a primary school student in an Internet cafe. Because he was too short of money and couldn't afford the Internet fee, he could only stand behind and watch others play eagerly.

"welcome."

Zhou Yutang nodded.

One person is short-term, two people are long-term.

When Xu Ke was hired as the artistic director of "Ghost Blowing Out the Lamp", the talented director gave a lot of constructive suggestions.

Chen Guofu still has the ability to be friendly with Niao Er.

A few people were chatting about the special effects of the movie in the audience, and the main creators on the stage also chatted.

"Actually, I am not a queen in life, and I am not that difficult to approach. At first, several young actors felt a little distant. Later, I specially invited them to have dinner with the director. After the meal, Everyone is very close.”

Liu Jialin praised her lightly: "Feng Shaofeng is very mature, Zhu Yilong is very elegant, and they are both popular with girls."

"It's not as exaggerated as Sister Jialin said."

Feng Shaofeng, who became famous again because of the movie "The King of Lanling", waved his hand modestly: "When men get together, they will often discuss women."

In "Di Renjie: The Dragon King of the Dragon King", he played Yuchi Zhenjin, a fierce general of the Tang Dynasty who was invincible in defeating Luoyang City.

"Can you be more specific?"

The reporters at the scene were very interested in the gossip topic brought up by Liu Jialin: "Now that we're done, are you going to date a girl?"

"That's not true."

Feng Shaofeng became nervous instantly, but Zhu Yilong was very calm: "After work is over, we play games together and sometimes go to karaoke. Feng Shaofeng sings very well."

Feng Shaofeng breathed a sigh of relief and broke the news: "Yilong doesn't have a girlfriend yet. I'll ask Yang Ying to introduce her to him."

"Then one night I had something to do and went to see him. I heard him talking on the phone. I thought he was talking to someone on the phone. It took me a long time to find out that he was discussing acting skills with teacher Zhang Songwen."

The audience burst into laughter.

As we all know, Zhu Yilong and Zhou Yutang are well-known good brothers in the entertainment industry.

The governor of Jiangdong is handsome and playful.

But Zhu Yilong seems to be naturally insulated from scandals, and there have been no scandals outside the show since his debut.

It is simply a breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry.

An audience member shouted loudly: "Zhu Yilong, learn from your good brother Zhou Yutang and let's talk about love!"

"."

Zhou Yutang put his hand on his forehead.

Ni Ni beside him was also smiling softly.

In the lively atmosphere, the movie started to show.

The reputation of the genius director is well-deserved. Whether it is the movie scenes, 3D effects, martial arts style, or monster design, it all looks like Xu Ke's unique flavor.

When the movie ended, the audience burst into applause. Some media pulled Zhou Yutang and asked: "Director Zhou, how much do you think the box office can be?"

Zhou Yutang thought for a while and said truthfully: "Perhaps, it is possible to break Director Xu's highest box office record."

The final total box office of "Beijing Meets Seattle" was fixed at 593 million, which is also the highest box office record for domestic romance films this year.

"Witness" capitalized on the popularity of The Kid and the Kid and continued to be the box office champion for two weeks in September, with a box office revenue of 343 million in 15 days of release.

The single-day box office dropped to around 10 million. At this time, it was halfway through the release period, and it also gave up its single-day box office championship.

"'Detective Dee: The Dragon King' grossed 66 million at the box office on its first day, creating the best start to the career of a talented director!"

The film schedule on the first day of release was as high as 35%, 10 percentage points ahead of "Witness" and 20 percentage points ahead of "White Fox", which was released on the National Day at the same time.

The latter is claimed to be a magical love movie, but the box office on the first day was only 5.8 million. It is controlled by the Hengdian Group and has a total investment of more than 80 million. It is estimated that it will lose money to the point of vomiting blood.

Bad Monkey Studio is located in the Jiangdong Building. Ning Hao and Xing Aina come here every day to visit: "Yu Tang, the preparations for "Blooming Heart" are almost complete."

"So fast?"

"See if there's anything wrong with it."

Zhou Yutang took the project information handed over by Xing Aina and looked at it.

In addition to the main creative lineup decided in advance, the role of Sha Matt was finally decided on Zhao Liying.

"Didn't you say that Wang Jinghua was pushing the little yellow duck?"

"Zhou Shufang over there came over specially to say hello."

If Wang Jinghua wants to compete with Zhou Shufang, Sister Fang must have the loudest voice. After all, this is a movie controlled by Jiang Dong.

Zhou Yutang didn't care either.

It's just a supporting role, it doesn't matter who he plays, Xiao Zhao is still Shi Shi's best friend.

The boss of Heisehui invited teacher Wang Jianhui to star. Lei Datou and Qiao Bin were his subordinates, and even Shen Teng also made a guest appearance.

As for the prostitute who underwent plastic surgery, it was appropriate to leave it to Ma Su.

"Sister Na, put my scenes at the forefront when the time comes. I have other arrangements next month."

"good."

Xing Aina nodded simply.

She did behind-the-scenes work for several movies with Ning Hao and was very capable.

After the movie was finalized, Ning Hao crossed his legs, drank tea, and chatted happily: "Yu Tang, this year's Golden Rooster Award has become a joke."

"The entire cost budget is only a few hundred thousand, and the organizers still look down on the little stars and use various reasons to reject them."

There has been a lot of excitement in the past two days. Some netizens joked that the opening ceremony of the Golden Rooster was worse than a township party.

In fact, Zhu Yilong and Liu Yifei are also Han people.

The organizers also sent invitations, but after the movie premiere, Brother Long followed the crew of "Detective Detective Dee: The Dragon King" to promote in various cities across the country as planned.

As for Liu Yifei, she also had a schedule for a fashion event in Paris, but she was not present either.

If you can't invite any big-name stars, you can switch directly from the leader's speech to the screening of the opening movie.

The deserted scene was in sharp contrast to last year's flowers.

Many netizens ridiculed that last year, the tickets for Zhou Yutang were sold out as soon as they were released, but this year no one showed any interest.

Zhou Yutang is the traffic guarantee!

Of course he also received the Golden Rooster invitation, but he had too much work at hand and the nominations were all unimportant awards, so he politely declined.

Letting Li Shuang lead the team was enough to give the host some face.

"Anyway, if the organizer doesn't feel embarrassed, it must be someone else who is embarrassed."

"By the way, Yu Tang, are you going to the retirement banquet held for Han Sanping's 60th birthday in two days?"

"Then you must go."

Mr. Han’s birthday is October 1st.

It also happens to be the National Day.

Sixty is also the retirement age within the system. Although it has not been officially announced yet, many jobs are slowly being handed over.

Mr. Han has been in office for so many years and has a solid foundation. There are many people who came to support him at his retirement banquet.

Mr. Wang of Huayi, Fatty Bona, Wang Changtian of Guangguang, Mr. Xingmei, Mr. Yinghuang Yang, Mr. Galloping Horse and Big Dog Brother

Almost all the respectable big shots in the circle are here.

The entire martial arts conference.

Zhou Yutang, as Han Sanping's most trusted general, would of course not be absent.

"Brother Xiao Ming, congratulations on winning the Golden Rooster Best Actor."

The Golden Rooster that just ended, Huang Xiaoming in "The Chinese Partner" and Zhang Guoli in "1942" tied for the Best Actor Award.

I just finished there and flew back directly to attend Han Sanping's retirement banquet.

"Yu Tang, you came here quite early."

Huang Xiaoming showed a standard smile of a leader and hugged each other cordially.

He also received a Golden Horse Best Actor nomination this year for "Xiu Chun Knife".

After embracing Zhou Yutang's thigh, he really took off on the spot. Putting aside the two movies he just launched, in terms of development momentum, he is no worse than Deng Chao, and he is even more stable than Chen Kun.

This time, Chen Ke was lucky enough to be more assertive and won the Golden Rooster Best Director award. He was in the limelight tonight, with CEOs from several film and television companies surrounding him.

Zhou Yutang did not join in the fun and found Senior Brother Liu Jiang, who had not appeared for a long time.

"Yu Tang."

Liu Jiang is still so broad-minded and fat, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha: "You are handsome again."

"Senior Brother Liu, you have gained weight again."

Zhou Yutang visually inspected that Brother Liu Jiang weighed at least 200 kilograms.

Even though Liu Jiang is now in good shape, he was a classmate of Xu Qing and Jiang Wenli back then, a handsome guy from the acting department.

Later, I got some advice from Han Sanping, and I suddenly realized that I switched from acting to working behind the scenes.

"I can't help it, I just like to eat delicious food."

"He was told to drink less, eat meat, and eat a light diet, but he always refused to listen. During his physical examination last month, the doctor said he had a serious fatty liver and high blood pressure." His wife babbled to the side.

Liu Jiang shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Sister Wang Tong, you said a lot about me, I can't change it."

Liu Jiang's wife, Wang Tong, Qingdi's good sister, is also the cheated Su Qing in "Let's Get Married". She is a very elegant woman.

Her attitude towards Zhou Yutang was so good that she had nothing to say.

After Liu Jiang collaborated with Zhou Yutang on "Let's Get Married", he went to Beijing to propose a new house.

His career has been rising step by step. "A Beautiful Day as a Wife" and "Before Dawn" are all blockbuster hits, and he has firmly established himself as one of the top directors in the domestic TV drama industry.

Zhou Yutang looked at the lively scene in the banquet and felt a little emotional.

Since then, the mountain sculpture has become famous in the world.

After the show ended, Zhou Yutang went to find Han Sanping: "Mr. Han, what are your plans for the future?"

"Finish the things at hand first, stand up for the last shift, and then rest for a while."

Han Sanping drank a lot in the evening, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to relax: "Yu Tang, Jia Nu has caused you a lot of trouble during this time."

"Anyway, without Sister Jia, how could I drink such good tea?" Zhou Yutang said with a smile.

"This girl, turn your elbows outward."

Han Sanping shook his head and laughed: "In the future, please take care of her more. I think she is too tired to be a director, but she can do behind-the-scenes work as a screenwriter and producer."

There is no better daughter than a father.

Zhou Yutang asked Han Jianu to do various behind-the-scenes tasks.

The conclusion reached is consistent with Han Sanping.

If Han Jia Nyeo is a director, the upper limit may be 65 points, but as a screenwriter and producer, she can reach 80 points or even higher.

Of course, compared to her own abilities, Han Sanping's connections can be rated 90 points.

So Zhou Yutang had arranged her affairs early and gave a brief explanation now.

Hearing Xian Ge and knowing its elegant meaning, Han Sanping patted Zhou Yutang on the shoulder and was very pleased: "Yu Tang, you are interested."

As a parent, how can you not think about your children?

Han Sanping was determined to kill outside, but he cherished his only daughter very much and paved the way for her in advance.

"Mr. Han, it should be."

Zhou Yutang meant what he said.

The mountain eagle was known to be domineering, but he really had nothing to say to Zhou Yutang.

If there is a project that he is involved in, when will it be possible for Shanghai Film Academy to get involved?

But after knowing that Zhou Yutang had a close relationship with Tian Ming and had a career plan in Shanghai, Han Sanping acquiesced to Zhou Yutang's collusion with the film group.

As long as China Film’s share is no less than that of Shanghai Film, we can just pretend that nothing happens.

The outside world often sees the spectacle of two big guys, Han Sanping and Ren Zhonglun, working together to support Zhou Yutang's projects.

That's why the Governor of Jiangdong was jokingly called "turning your hands to clouds" and "turning your hands to rain" in circles.

This is how the Suhu Gang was built.

Zhou Yutang didn't even give himself a holiday during the National Day.

Fly to the American city of Los Angeles two days before the LOL World Finals.

The plane lands.

He glanced at the time on his watch.

Los Angeles is a little deserted at 4 o'clock in the morning.

After a flight of more than ten hours, I had a good sleep, and now I don’t feel sleepy.

I took Ni Ni for a walk around Staples Arena, where this year’s League of Legends finals will be held.

The League of Legends Finals can be held at the Lakers' home court, which can be said to be quite promising.

It's a pity that the Lakers are not very good this year.

Kobe Bryant has been repeatedly affected by injuries, veteran Fisher is getting old, and Jordan Farmar is in trouble.

The twin-tower combination of Gasol and Bynum did not go as expected. Although Chinese guard Sun Yue is also on the Lakers roster, he does not have many opportunities to play.

I bought some Lakers peripherals as a souvenir.

"Hello, Director Zhou, I am your fan."

"Hello, Xiao Cang."

Before the start of the finals, the commentator conducted an exclusive interview with Zhou Yutang in the venue. When she heard the young director call her name, Xiao Cang was a little dizzy, and her voice was full of surprise: "Director Zhou Have you heard of me?"

"Your game commentary is very good."

Zhou Yutang chuckled softly: "When I was watching station b, I came across your commentary slice."

"Wow, thank you Director Zhou for your recognition. I am also a fan of yours. I heard that Director Zhou also plays League of Legends?"

"When I have time, I play blackmail with my friends, but lately I have a lot of things going on and I don't have much fun."

"Well, I have watched both "Beijing Meets Seattle" and "Witness" produced by Director Zhou. They are very exciting movies."

Sister Xiao Cang's smile was very friendly: "I remember that you and Principal Wang were in trouble at that time, and you were even on Weibo's hot search list."

"Wang Xiaocong is too stupid, I can't lead him."

Zhou Yutang complained mercilessly.

"."

Sister Xiao Cang tried her best to suppress her laughter.

Wang Xiaocong has a bad temper when playing games. He often scolds his teammates and is often in the news.

But he was surrounded by people who licked him, and only Zhou Yutang dared to complain mercilessly.

She quickly changed the topic: "The domestic RNG team has been eliminated. Only JDG has reached the finals. This journey has not been easy. I would like to ask, what do you think of this result?"

"The semi-finals were against the South Korean team Najin Sword, and they defeated the European hegemon Fnatic in the semi-finals."

After seeing the team information prepared by Ni Ni in advance, Zhou Yutang said: "It's a pity that the brother team collapsed, but it doesn't matter, JDG will take the championship trophy home for you."

Next, I asked some questions about my views on the game and interesting stories about team formation. The interview ended quickly.

"Okay, thanks to Director Zhou for taking time out of his busy schedule to be interviewed. I also wish JDG can defeat their opponents and win the championship. Come on!"

"come on."

Sister Xiao Cang didn’t forget to take a photo with Zhou Yutang.

JDG was just established this year. Compared with the domestic e-sports giants WE and IG at this time, it obviously lacks the foundation.

However, after rising from the bottom qualifying round, their results were extremely impressive, almost sweeping the LPL. Coupled with the black team uniform, netizens called it a dark force.

The top laner is gogoing, the jungler LoveLing, the mid laner faker, and the bottom laner is UZI's partner tabe.

The mad dog style of all members has won the love of countless audiences.

Usually during the laning phase, he will defeat his opponent with a suffocating offensive.

Since advancing to the World Finals, he has almost defeated the world's top players with almost overwhelming force, becoming the favorite to win this year.

The opponent in the final is SK Telecom T1 sponsored by Bangzi telecommunications giant SK.

"Is everyone feeling stressed?"

As the boss of the JDG team, Zhou Yutang's personal presence at the scene to supervise the battle undoubtedly greatly boosted the team's morale.

When he entered the team's game room, the manager and his staff surrounded him like stars. The team members also stopped what they were doing, their eyes were curious and awe-inspiring.

"As long as UZI doesn't give it away, you can win whatever you want."

Gao Pingping, the top laner in the team, grinned and looked quite confident.

AD player UZI is a little fat guy, his face turned red, and he muttered dissatisfiedly: "I'm so tired of it, okay?"

"I'm better than my opponent."

Mid laner Faker pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, his expression as calm as a wooden man.

After staying in China for a year, Xiao Li's Chinese is getting better and better, but it is inevitable that he has also gained weight.

Several team members joked with each other, and the air was full of joy.

Zhou Yutang nodded approvingly.

You can add drumsticks to the team manager.

Of course, it's not just his fault.

Below him, there are coaches who are specifically responsible for tactical guidance, as well as data analysts, psychological counselors, etc.

To have such a team atmosphere, the entire behind-the-scenes team deserves a lot of credit.

Domestic e-sports has just started. Principal Wang has called for the integration of Chinese e-sports, but IG has not been able to enter the World Championship this year.

On the contrary, Zhou Yutang walked in front of him.

It has introduced a professional team in the field of sports competition to manage team members, and achieved remarkable results.

Zhou Yutang didn't do any micromanaging, he just activated his money-making ability: "If you win the championship, apart from the official rewards, everyone will receive a bonus of 1 million."

The team members were shocked.

But soon, their eyes lit up.

The average monthly salary in Beijing this year is 5,453 yuan.

The League of Legends project has just started these days, and the monthly salary of professional players can reach 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, which is considered a high income.

One million is not a small amount.

Gao Pingping, who is still the oldest, understands the ways of the world and flatters her: "The boss is awesome!"

Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men.

Money is the best stimulant.

The whole team became excited.

The jungler conducted a deep introspection.

He suddenly found it annoying that the girl he was training last sent him messages to harass him, so he deleted her contact information directly.

Women will only affect the speed of their own progress!

The result of the final did not disappoint the long-awaited audience. JDG defeated South Korea's t1 with a big score of 3:1.

Zhou Yutang watched the entire game at the scene with a relaxed expression, talking and laughing with Ni Ni next to him.

Except for Lang's loss in the third game, they were basically crushed by strength.

In fact, Bangzi is more professional in the field of e-sports games. Each of them knows where they should be and what they should do.

It's as precise as a machine.

As long as there is an advantage, it will slowly snowball and turn the advantage into a victory.

But he was still stunned by JDG's bloody mad dog style of play.

After all, no matter how rigorous you are, you are still human.

In the face of the irreparable gap in personal strength, mentality and operations will gradually be affected.

There were tens of thousands of people at the scene and the roar of the tsunami was heard.

Colorful ribbons and fireworks were dancing all over the sky.

A road to the sky was paved for jdg to be crowned champion.

“Boss, how can e-sports be profitable?”

Ni Ni was very happy to win the championship, but from Zhou Yutang's point of view, she was a little worried for him: "With the bonus to be paid, we may lose more than 10 million this year."

"Have you seen the ratings data of the finals?"

“According to data released by developer Riot Games, more than 32 million people watched this year’s finals!”

Ni Ni was a little shocked when he reported this set of data.

This is too exaggerated.

In the past, having a few million viewers was already a big deal.

More than 30 million viewers are enough to show how popular this game project is now.

"This is just the beginning. In the next few years, it will become even more popular."

Zhou Yutang said firmly: "Brand sponsorship, event broadcast rights, live broadcast contracts, and player transfer fees all start in the tens of millions."

"ah?"

Ni Ni's big eyes were full of doubts. She suspected that Zhou Yutang was drawing cakes.

The top stars in the entertainment industry only get paid tens of millions per movie.

Zhou Yutang didn't explain either. She would understand later.

Live broadcasters can evade more than one billion in taxes, and it is normal for e-sports players to earn tens of millions a year.

Reality is so magical.

E-sports is a hot competitive sport. League of Legends now has more than 70 million players, with at least 5 million active players every month.

Compared with the US$1 million championship prize, it has created a record number of viewers in the history of e-sports, which also shows that this project will have a more far-reaching influence in the future.

This is also the reason why Zhou Yutang took the lead in laying out the plan.

The entire e-sports industry will become an important piece of the Jiangdong Entertainment Dynasty in the future.
