Entertainment: I really want to make progress

Zhou Yutang, who was showing off his power abroad.

After returning to China, he was extremely low-key.

Apart from the interview released by the Sixth Princess, he was not seen in public at all.

"No, brother, can you at least do some business?"

The audience who were waiting eagerly could not bear it anymore.

Others walked on the red carpet and bought hot articles, wishing that everyone in the world would know about it.

Zhou Yutang, on the other hand, won the Palme d'Or, such a great event to raise his eyebrows, but he did not show his prowess in front of the public. He was simply too low-key.

If it weren't for his extremely large number of fans, someone would have posted a photo of Zhou Yutang, who was dressed casually, at Xiaoshan International Airport, and only then would they know about his return to China.

"The boss is trying to catch up with the filming progress of "Celebrating Yu Nian 2"."

Although Zhou Yutang did not have any fan group, the old fans in Jiangdong Navy were not unfamiliar with his style of doing things.

Compared with those illusory hype, Boss Zhou prefers to speak with actual results.

Those fans really guessed it right.

The progress of "Joy of Life 2" can't be delayed.

Zhou Yutang has already decided on two subsequent movies, and the schedule in the second half of the year is very tight.

He postponed the celebration banquet to the time after the movie was released, and he even reluctantly rejected the secret code sent by Yang Mi.

Bring Zeng Li and go straight to Hengdian to join the crew.

However, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. There are a lot of media reporters who come to the door, which has affected the filming of the crew. Zhou Yutang simply asked Ni Ni to organize a media open day.

"Director Zhou, congratulations on winning the Palme d'Or."

"Director Zhou, what do you think about this?"

"Zhou Yutang, look here, look here!"

Hengdian Group personally cooperated to arrange the venue, and hundreds of media with good relations with Jiangdong Entertainment rushed to the scene.

Like a star holding the moon, Zhou Yutang was surrounded in the middle, and everyone looked at this young director who had just returned from Cannes with scorching eyes.

"Don't worry, come one by one."

Zhou Yutang did not put on airs in front of the media.

The Sina correspondent, who is considered half a family member, successfully stood out and asked excitedly: "Director Zhou, congratulations on winning the Palme d'Or. What was your original intention for creating the movie "Red Ling"?"

The main creators of Joy of Life were sitting on the stage.

But there was no interruption of the flash, and it was only shining for Zhou Yutang alone.

Good-looking people are so unreasonable.

Fingers crossed, sitting upright and smiling, beautiful like a painting.

At this time, Zhou Yutang probably had a very bright and dazzling halo in the eyes of the media on the scene.

"About seven or eight years ago, I had this idea."

Zhou Yutang took the microphone: "At that time, the song "Red Ling" came first, and then I slowly wrote the script. Teacher Lu Wei and others helped a lot. By the way, I also want to thank Lu Chuan."

"Thank Lu Chuan?"

The Sina reporter was obviously stunned.

"Because "Red Ling" and his Jinling both took place in the same era, when I watched him make that movie, I felt that I wanted to express something, and I had to tell this story from the perspective of the Chinese."

"However, I had other projects at the time, and the most important thing was that I didn't have the ability to handle this movie, so I could only accumulate slowly and wait until today to make this movie."

Zhou Yutang was in a very relaxed state, saying whatever he thought of.

The media present almost couldn't hold back.

This is going to name the corpse whipper?

Lu Chuan, who was thousands of miles away, sneezed.

"No success is achieved overnight, it's just that you have accumulated a lot of experience in places we can't see."

"You're overpraising me. In fact, I make movies just because I want to, not for the sake of winning awards."

"It is because of your attitude that you can make good movies and win the Palme d'Or."

There was a female reporter in a professional suit with admiration in her eyes.

"Thank you. I was also surprised at the time. I am very happy to receive this award."

"You are both a director and a leading actor. Do you set goals for yourself in acting?"

"As for goals, it depends on the specific role."

Zhou Yutang said: "For example, playing the role of Pei Yanzhi, it is a big challenge for me to make the audience believe and accept that I am Pei Yanzhi. I have never tried to use such a complex way to present a role in multiple levels before."

"We have to wait and see the audience's reaction after the movie is released. This is the best I can do within my current ability. Maybe I can do better in ten years."

"Director Zhou."

It was the turn of a Sohu entertainment reporter to ask: "When will "Red Ling" be released? It is said that the overseas copyright has been sold at a sky-high price. Can you reveal it?"

"The movie will be released at the end of June. Everyone will see the trailer in two days. I hope everyone will support it when the time comes."

Zhou Yutang chuckled and advertised the movie: "As for the overseas copyright revenue, this is a commercial secret and it is not convenient to disclose the details."

Pride brings harm, humility brings benefit.

Winning the Palme d'Or is already a big deal. There is no need to show off the sky-high copyright transaction.

Keep a low profile and make a fortune without making a sound.

Reba's beautiful eyes glanced at Zhou Yutang from time to time, as if she could pull out a thin thread.

After answering a few more questions, Zhou Yutang shifted the exposure to the crew of "Celebrating Yu Nian 2": "Everyone give me some face and ask something related to the crew."

"Director Kong, how is the crew's filming progress?"

"Teacher Chen Daoming, I heard that Emperor Qing will turn evil in the second season?"

"."

Today is said to be the media meeting of the crew of "Celebrating Yu Nian 2", but Director Kong Sheng, Li Xin, Di Lieba, Chen Daoming, Wu Gang, Tian Yu and other main creators are not as eye-catching as Zhou Yutang.

Before that.

In terms of commercial performance, Zhou Yutang is the best in the domestic entertainment industry and has established his status as a king.

But in terms of awards, he is not as experienced and well-known as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and other veteran directors.

Now with the Palme d'Or in hand, plus the Silver Bear Award for Best Director in Berlin, Zhou Yutang can be called a unique director in the domestic entertainment industry.

How glorious it is to be able to show off on the highest stage of the three major foreign film festivals?

Led by CCTV, the official media personally reported on it.

Since then, Zhou Yutang has created another golden statue.

Because he is the window for foreign media to understand China.

After the interview, Zhou Yutang isolated himself from the outside world and began to devote all his energy to filming.

The entire crew was like a tight machine, and began to run at high speed.

Zhou Yutang got into the state quickly, and occasionally participated in the work of the director team.

Of course, he did not interfere with Kong Sheng, but gave some pertinent opinions from other perspectives.

"Welcome Brother Teng to join the group."

Zhou Yutang personally came to pick up Shen Teng, who had just joined the group, and he was a little flattered. He rubbed his hands and said, "Director Zhou, I am a little embarrassed by what you have done."

"You are also busy with your schedule, and it is not easy to come here for a guest appearance."

After hugging each other familiarly, Zhou Yutang did not forget to greet Shen Teng's agent, who was an acquaintance.

"No, the role is not big or small, I will be there at your call."

Shen Teng seemed to be born with a kind of affinity. He greeted the crew members who came to watch and soon became familiar with him.

Since "Charlotte's Troubles", the value of Happy Twist has skyrocketed, and Shen Teng's value has also skyrocketed overnight.

Jin Daxi, Mao Xiaotong and others watched from the side, and they were indescribably impressed.

Only Zhou Yutang could have such a big face, and actually let Shen Teng, a big male protagonist with a box office of 1 billion, come to play a small supporting role.

The role of Guo Baokun was quite eye-catching in the first season.

Now in the second season, he doesn't have many scenes, but he also plays wonderfully.

His undercover work has not only won the unanimous affirmation of the people from top to bottom in Northern Qi, but also won the unanimous recognition of the people from top to bottom in Daqing.

The key is that he is relaxed, going outing and drinking wine every day. The list that Yan Bingyun saved with his life was exposed by Guo Baokun in one outing.

Today is a scene between Fan Sizhe and Guo Baokun.

"Clear the scene, quiet!"

"All departments are ready!"

"1, 2, 3, start!"

The stage manager slapped the board, and then the shooting began.

In the carriage, Fan Sizhe and Guo Baokun sat opposite each other, and the two of them boasted to each other:

"You were quite smart just now. You actually said you were going to the border instead of going directly to Qing Kingdom."

"Keeping hidden at all times is our first priority as a spy. I am quite talented, right?"

"Sizhe, it seems that you are also a talented person."

"Brother Guo, I was indeed a little abrupt to you before. It was not until today that I understood why Fan Xian dared to leave you alone in Beiqi."

Fan Sizhe said, and raised his thumb.

"If Daqing is full of talents like you and me, why worry about the instability of the world?"

"Brother Guo is right."

One Wolong and one Fengchu laughed in the carriage, clapping their hands and laughing, optimistic as hell.

Guo Baokun is a good general in the world, and Fan Sizhe is a talented person.

These two are the comedy of this drama.

Kong Sheng behind the monitor couldn't hold back and laughed.

Even professionals like Zhou Yutang couldn't help laughing.

The effect of the filming can be imagined, and it will surely make countless audiences laugh like pigs.

The crew of "Joy of Life 2" continues to shoot. In the film market in late May, the national master is the only one.

"Coming Home" has been released for two weeks, and the box office has reached 275 million. Both the average and attendance data have surpassed "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" which swept the May Day period.

The latter was released after the May holiday, killing the domestic films arranged in the May Day period.

Fortunately, the national master stood up to save the situation.

Although it is not as good as "Godzilla" starring Liu Shishi.

This rampant monster grossed 200 million US dollars in the first weekend of its global opening!

It grossed 70 million on the first day of its release in China, and 223 million on the first weekend!

Such a brilliant record has easily broken the 3-day opening record of Warner's films in the mainland.

However, compared with the astonishing cost of "Godzilla", a realistic art film like "Coming Home" has a lower cost.

However, such a box office is obviously surprising to all film and television companies in the industry.

According to the box office estimates made on the Maoyan app, the box office will be at least 350 million yuan. If you are lucky, it may not be impossible to hit 400 million yuan.

Since March, several art films have exploded at the box office, and the entire Chinese film market has a trend of flourishing.

As long as they can make money, some film and television companies will rush in and prepare to eat meat.

Before this, film and television companies in the industry have invited professional data agencies to conduct analysis.

Part of the reason why "Coming Home" can have such a box office is the golden signboard of Zhang Yimou + Jiangdong Entertainment, and another large part of the reason is Jiangdong Entertainment's mature publicity system.

There are many pre-sale rounds, and the reputation of the movie is built through previews, and then different social topics are carried out to continuously guide the audience from online to offline.

Offline, there is also Guangguang's ground distribution system, covering more than 70 major cities across the country, radiating more than 1,000 theaters, almost occupying more than 85% of the theater box office market!

"Even "Coming Home" has exploded, and the box office of "Red Ling" is unimaginable"

"How many audiences are waiting to see the Golden Palm Award works."

"There is a rumor from foreign film companies that after "Red Ling" won the award, the copyright price has skyrocketed, at least 80 million US dollars."

In the meeting room of Huayi, a group of senior executives talked about it, and their tone was somewhat envious.

If peers make a lot of money, and you don’t make money, it is equivalent to losing money

Mr. Wang, who loves to smoke cigars, suddenly felt that cigars were not fragrant anymore, and asked sourly: "Director Gu, if you want to make an art film to win awards, the company will fully support you."

"Mr. Wang, let's make this "Micro Love" for the time being, the project will start soon."

Gu Changwei, who succeeded Chen Guofu as the director of Huayi Film Department, smiled politely but awkwardly, and kept complaining in his heart.

Damn, Zhou Yutang made an art film with a big hand of more than 100 million!

That fire shot burned at least tens of millions, and you can give me this support! ?

I want to invite Zhou Yutang to be the male lead of my new film, but you fucking stuffed Yang Ying and Chen Chichi into the group as the protagonists, how can it work?

"Then do this movie first."

The cigar between Mr. Wang's fingers tapped on the table: "Yang Ying and Chen Chichi are both very popular and have great potential."

Wang Zhongjun took a glance at the scheduling report sent by the film department, threw it aside, stood up, and gave clear instructions: "During the summer vacation, Jiangdong has two movies to be released. The company's films should be postponed if they should be postponed, and they should not collide head-on."

Since Zhang Yimou brought his talent to Jiangdong Entertainment, his life has been very smooth.

The money earned from filming a movie with Zhou Yutang is not as much as that earned from working with Zhang Dapao for several years.

And only when you really lean on a big tree can you experience the benefits.

After the issue of over-birth was suppressed, Lao Mouzi had no worries and devoted all his energy to his artistic career.

With such a brilliant young junior like Zhou Yutang, it seems that there is an invisible driving force to promote his progress.

Zhang Yimou had just returned to China and released the news of his new movie "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" at the movie roadshow promotion.

"Oh my god, isn't Zhang Yimou working too hard? He is still strong and healthy!"

"In the entire Jiangdong Entertainment, Zhou Yutang is a model worker. With him as the leader, everyone is a workaholic."

Some netizens joked that Jiangdong Entertainment is full of workaholics.

Zhou Yutang came back from Cannes and joined the crew seamlessly. He has two more dramas in the middle of the year.

Zhang Yimou is also very hardworking. He has already started preparing for new dramas while "Coming Home" is still being released.

But to say that they are all workaholics, Gan may not be.

There is no need to say more about the salty fish Jiangdong No. 1 sister. In Zhou Yutang's opinion, Lu Yang is also quite lazy.

After filming "Assassin Spring Blade", he has achieved initial financial freedom, but his enterprising spirit is not very strong.

Zhou Yutang saw him go to Neon Hot Springs in the circle of friends the day before yesterday.

It is said that the script of "Assassin Spring Blade 2" is almost done, and he is ready to reward himself.

As one of the three major directors in China, Lao Mouzi's golden signboard itself has attracted the attention of countless people inside and outside the circle.

As soon as the news was released, many people thought about using the backdoor.

Cai Yinong, Huo Wenxi and others even called to get close to her at the first time, trying to get roles for their own artists.

"Sister Cai, the roles in that play are all decided by Director Zhang."

Zhou Yutang did not leave any room for Cai Yinong.

Among the actors from Tangren, except Hu Ge and Liu Shishi, the acting skills of Jiang Jingfu and Jin Daxi were just so-so and could not support important roles.

There was also Xiao Caiqi, but could she be considered an actor?

Considering the story background and scale of "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils", as a project to promote cultural exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, Zhou Yutang had to unite forces and add more layers of armor.

That is, actors from Taiwan and Hong Kong were used, including behind-the-scenes personnel.

Zhou Yutang did not refuse Huo Wenxi's call. Not long ago, Du Gou was executed vigorously, and she stood firmly on her side.

Besides, Yinghuang did have someone who was more suitable for the role of Zhou Chu.

"Sister Mani, if Wu Zhenyu is interested, let him go for an audition."

"Atang, of course I'm interested, thank you so much."

Huo Wenxi's voice was filled with joy.

Zhou Yutang wrote the script and starred in the film, and Zhang Yimou directed it.

Even in such a situation, the supporting roles are all great resources, which can make people in the circle fight for them.

"We are all family, I'll say hello to Director Zhang first."

Zhou Yutang quickly called Lao Mouzi.

The road show was still going on there, and it was Lao Mouzi's assistant who answered the phone and briefly explained the matter.

Ni Yongxiao in "Infernal Affairs 2", the angry Brother Kun.

With Wu Zhenyu's acting skills, he is the perfect candidate for the wanted criminal Xiangjiangzi, one of the three evils in "Zhou Chu" in Zhou Yutang's mind...
