Entertainment: I really want to make progress

A man is born between heaven and earth, how can he live in a state of depression for a long time?

Zhou Yutang never thought of becoming a footnote to Teacher Ma’s appearance as a saint.

In terms of career layout.

Jiangdong Entertainment and Mingjie Company's big names are enough for him to enter the entertainment industry.

Bytedance and Star Games are also developing secretly.

He provided full support behind the scenes, used funds and connections to clear the way, and the development of the Byte system was much smoother than in the original time and space.

This year, it first recruited general Yang Zhenyuan, who was originally from Baidu, and also recruited a group of machine learning algorithm engineers who came from core departments of Baidu and other companies.

Today's Internet companies are still recruiting mobile and iOS technical personnel.

The Byte Department has already offered a high salary of one million US dollars and is frantically recruiting algorithm talents.

Byte big stage.

Come if you are able.

With heavy money, there must be repercussions.

The current byte system has become the first choice for job-hopping for a large number of technical talents.

It has even attracted several high-end technical talents who work for large companies such as Google, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, paving the way for Byte to enter foreign markets in the future.

As for the layout of the game industry, Star Games has become a striking upstart in the industry.

In addition to the internal beta launch of "Honor of Kings" next year, the development of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" has entered the advanced stage, and it is expected to launch client and mobile games in the next two years.

MiHoYo Studio, which is independent of Star Games, after generating over 100 million in revenue last year, turned around and used all its revenue to continue its work.

This year, this young team has devoted all its energy to the development of the "Honkai Academy 3" project.

"Boss, the manager of the Kodong Games team has news."

On the way to the Peace Hotel, Ni Ni reported on the progress of the reorganization of the Kodong Game Team.

"oh?"

Zhou Yutang took the tablet from Ni Ni's hand and looked through it.

Last year, Xiao Ma officially announced at the Beijing Conference that the number of people online at the same time has exceeded 5 million, making it the largest online game in the world.

This year, Riot released the latest player statistics.

This game has approximately 27 million daily active players worldwide, with a maximum of 7.5 million players online at the same time.

The data has surged significantly compared to last year.

Now, if you go to any Chinese university and catch 10 boys in the boys’ dormitory, at least 7 of them will be playing League of Legends.

This game has an unparalleled influence among this generation of young people.

Zhou Yutang originally intended to build a Jiangdong gaming dynasty and further expand the influence of the Jiangdong clan.

However, the success fell short, and things in the world were not as satisfactory as expected.

The big boss issued a fatal order to carry out drastic reforms, which soon yielded results.

The high salary invited several top talents from the Department of Computer Science of Huaqing University to serve as analysts, which supplemented the game's behind-the-scenes management team.

Then top laners and junglers who were addicted to women and were not focused on the game were all removed from the team.

While carrying out targeted reinforcements at the same position, it also attracted a group of very talented youth training prospects.

In short, the situation is stable and improving, and the future is promising.

"take it easy."

Zhou Yutang briefly looked through the information, explained a few words, and quickly didn't take it to heart.

As a mainstay of the Suhu Gang, it is widely rumored in the circle that Zhou Yutang feels like going home every time he comes to the Magic City.

Unavoidable to be invited to various dinners, Zhou Yutang made an appointment with Wu Heru from the New United Cinema today, and Tian Ming was with him during the dinner.

It's still the Peace Hotel, but the person sitting next to Zhou Yutang is not the long-legged sugar lady from the Magic City, but Liu Shishi, the first lady of the Tang Dynasty.

The first lady who just attended a certain brand event with South Korean goddess Son Ye-jin was so happy that it was blindingly obvious.

I was very lucky to have drawn all the golden equipment that is extremely difficult to find in the game "Qingcheng". Secondly, the main reason was to see my beloved man again.

His face was filled with a happy smile, and his face glowed with a gentle and charming look, making everyone at the table full of dog food.

"Did you really faint?"

"Indeed, I was dancing on the stage and suddenly fell to the ground. I was shocked. Fortunately, he was okay."

"It's okay."

Jin Daxi felt that the first sister was a little too big-hearted.

What do the outside world say?

The Bingshan sisters got pregnant after being played with by the Governor...

Although it was a scandal, if she had been Zhou Yutang's woman, she would have lost her temper and made a fuss.

Cai Yinong didn't pay attention to these things at all.

She was giving a toast to Tian Ming, Wu Heru, and a certain vice director of Shanghai Film Academy with a smile.

Normally she doesn't have much chance to sit at the table with these big guys in the Shanghai circle. Now she has to perform well and try to leave some impression.

"Xiao Cai has a good drinking capacity."

The deputy director of Shangying smiled and nodded.

China is a human society, and dinner parties are a very effective means of social interaction.

Many projects are often decided between changing cups.

Zhou Yutang chatted about variety shows with Tian Ming, and also chatted with the deputy director of Shanghai Film Studio from time to time. Director Chen was responsible for following up on the filming progress of "Mermaid".

Cai Yinong couldn't get into everyone's conversation. He only waited until the show was over before looking for an opportunity to pull Zhou Yutang and say: "The leading actors of "Wuxin Master" have been decided. The male protagonists are Jiang Jingfu and Jin Daxi."

"Sister K, you can take care of this kind of thing. When the time comes, you can contact Jiang Xueyuan."

Lao Cai has a true love for Kung Fu Boy and has invested a lot of resources in him, hoping to turn him into the second Hu Ge. Jin Daxi is also the star of the Tang Dynasty.

"And that Chen Yao you were talking about."

"What's wrong with Chen Yao?"

Zhou Yutang said in a leisurely manner: "It's quite suitable to play Yue Qiluo."

"I also feel that way."

Lao Cai sighed: "Why did she sign with Yang Mi's company? What a pity."

"Sister K also likes her?"

"We had contacted each other during the art exam, but I had something else on hand at the time and didn't discuss it further."

Cai Yinong muttered: "I wonder what kind of ecstasy soup Yang Mi poured into her, and she went to the honey shop."

This kind of poaching is also very common in the circle.

Cai Yinong worked hard, and this is how Jin Daxi and Jiang Jingfu came.

Zhou Yutang was also very familiar with the work, almost entirely relying on the contribution of Tang people to Jiangdong's basic team.

Missing Chen Yao was a little regretful to Cai Yinong at most, but it was her failure to catch the true god of domestic entertainment in front of her back then that caused her thighs to become swollen.

Thinking of "Qing Yu Nian 2" selling for astonishingly high prices, and then looking at his annual key project "Qin Shi Mingyue", Lao Cai felt uncomfortable.

Everyone receives nine-year compulsory education. Why is Zhou Yutang so good?

The topic returned to "Wuxin Master" again.

After entering the Internet era, entertainment methods are diversified, and the overall ratings of TV stations are declining.

In the future, online dramas will become more and more important, even surpassing Taiwan dramas to some extent.

Cai Yinong still has a basic vision for judging the direction of the industry.

Therefore, we also have great expectations for "Wuxin Master", an online drama project co-produced with Bilibili.

She was even more attentive than Zhou Yutang. Not only was she the producer herself, she also sent director Li Guoli from Tangren Company to take charge of the project.

Zhou Yutang is a powerful and wealthy man with a lot of money in his hands. Even if the project does not meet expectations, at most he will lose some money. If the Tang people mess up a project, it may take a long time to recover.

"Bob, why are you calling at this time?"

Awakened by Bob's call early in the morning, Zhou Yutang put Liu Shishi, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, aside, somewhat unhappy.

"Sorui, Zhou, I was so excited that I forgot that there is still a time difference between us."

Bob smiled and said: "On the 10th of this month, the main creative team of "Interstellar" will come to Beijing for promotion, and I will also come with a friend from Legendary Pictures. In addition, I have some good news for you."

"You're talking about the co-production project that Legendary Pictures and Universal are promoting?"

"Ou, Zhou, you are really well-informed."

Bob wasn't surprised either. He knew how much energy his young partner had.

On the basis of the grand strategy of promoting cultural exchanges, many transnational co-production projects have emerged.

Any co-production project like this cannot avoid China Film.

After Pei Kang came to power, he focused on making things bigger. He always relied on Zhou Yutang for any big moves.

"Zhou, according to the reliable information I have received, Universal and Legend are currently reviewing all directors from China for this major co-production project."

"You know again?"

"Of course, as your good partner, my years in Hollywood are not in vain."

Bob's tone was a bit arrogant.

Zhou Yutang probably understood.

The eight-year financing partnership between Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures came to an end last year.

There are still many film projects that have not yet been filmed or are waiting to be released, such as "Superman vs. Batman" and Christopher Nolan's new work "Interstellar". The two companies are still inextricably linked.

"Zhou, you are on their list of candidates, and your position is very high."

After hearing what Lao Deng said, Zhou Yutang's expression remained unchanged and he smiled calmly: "So what?"

"Well, you are simply calmer than an old man like me."

Bob muttered, then got down to business.

In addition to the box office split of "Annabelle", director James Wan, who is busy with "Fast and Furious 7", is finally starting to work on the sequel plan of the Conjuring universe.

"no problem."

Zhou Yutang said, "I will let Zou Zhongyan come and meet you."

The first film in the "Conjuring" universe, it received both critical acclaim and box office success, and successfully became the highest-grossing horror film of the year in North America.

"Annabelle" released this year continued the popularity of its predecessor. Although the reputation was not very good, it also grossed more than 200 million US dollars in the global market.

This is completely the top of the horror film world, a ferocious money-grabbing monster.

Especially since James Wan, known as the master of Hollywood thrillers, directed it himself, this sequel to The Conjuring is worth looking forward to.

The U.S. dollar is very fragrant, so there is absolutely no reason to miss it.

Jiangdong Entertainment.

Large conference room on the seventh floor.

After finishing his trip to the magical city, Zhou Yutang did not miss his sister's hometown of Wenwen, and flew directly back to the capital to host the company meeting.

He is sitting high on the main seat, and below him and to the left is Jiang Xuezhen leading the top executives of the TV drama business department.

On the right, the elite troops of Soochow Pictures are in their positions.

The elder sister Chen Xi, who was taking the lead, quickly turned the pen on her fingertips and listened to Jiang Xue's boastful words with a calm expression.

Laobangcai, "Celebrating More Than Years 2" has a record-breaking price and a sky-high price?

Do you know how much box office the Soochow Pictures' "The Secret of the Dragon" + "Red Ling" did this year?

The other drama that I participated in, "Heart Flower Road", is about to break 1.5 billion. What's the point of talking about the long tail effect? ​​"Love O2O" drives the Jiangdong entertainment ecosystem

The two family slaves who only know how to take credit are just in vain.

"Mr. Zhou, Director Liang's "Go Princess Go" will start shooting next week. I asked Tangren, and Director Li has something else on hand. "Wuxin the Monster Killer" will not start until next month."

"The publicity plan for "Joy of Life 2" has been finalized. Please take a look."

"And "Nirvana in Fire" in cooperation with Noon Sunshine has entered the final preparation stage. As for "Joy of Life 3", it is expected to start preparation at the beginning of next year."

Jiang Xue finished his speech concisely and glanced at Chen Xi.

The TV drama business department has been active recently, leaving aside the two web dramas.

Both "Nirvana in Fire" and "Joy of Life 3" are S-level productions.

After Zhou Yi fell, he took his old subordinates to join Zhou Yutang.

Jiang Xuerong has now reached the peak of her career and stood at an unprecedented height.

On the big platform of Jiangdong, all TV stations are vying to please her.

Even Cai Yinong, who used to be as famous as her, is not as good as Jiang Xuerong now.

Chen Xi is a little girl, and she can achieve such results today, most of which is because she is holding Zhou Yutang's thigh.

Jiang Xuerong didn't take her seriously.

When she finished speaking, Zhou Yutang nodded slightly.

Chen Xi was too lazy to look at her. He stood up and said crisply, "I just went to see Director Xu's "Master". At this rate, it will be finished next month. The company currently has several film projects."

"I'm working with Xiao Ma on "20 Again". Boss, please check the schedule."

"Director Wen's "The Accidental Detective" and Director Guo's "Now You See Me 2" are currently in post-production."

"Director Cao's "The Sun Also Rises" and "The Tuner" are also next year's projects. How will you arrange your schedule next year?"

"There's no rush for next year's schedule. We can arrange it slowly."

Zhou Yutang tapped the table with his fingers: "The focus now is still on the promotion of Director Xu's "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" and Director Zhang's "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils."

Xu Ke's "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" has long been locked in the Lunar New Year schedule.

The movie "Zhou Chu" has completed some editing work during the filming thanks to the internal roll of the national teacher. The post-production can be completed this month at the latest and it can be released during the Spring Festival. There are basically no accidents.

Lu Han's "Back to 20" also has publicity resources, but the investment is relatively small.

"Lu Yang, how is the preparation for "Embroidered Spring Blade 2" going?"

"Still auditioning."

When Zhou Yutang called his name, Lu Yang instantly restrained his lazy expression and became serious.

"Let me add one more thing."

Zhou Yutang stood up with the help of the table, and the senior executives of Dongwu Film, led by Chen Xi, straightened their backs and concentrated.

After pressing a button, Ni Ni's carefully prepared PPT was played: "In addition to Lu Yang's "Embroidered Spring Blade 2", I have a movie in the first half of next year, which is the key to the next stage of the Q organization's criminal universe."

"Boss, you mean, "Detective Chinatown"? " Chen Xi thought of something, and his eyes immediately flashed with surprise.

"It's time to advance the next step of this criminal universe."

Zhou Yutang's mouth gradually showed a light smile.

The plane roared across the vast sky.

A wide overhead shot fully presents the magnificent appearance of the core battlefield "Wohu Mountain" in the movie.

The sound of gunfire continued, shocking the four fields.

After the exploding plane flew out of the forest and snow, another tank roared and drove into the bunker battlefield.

The actor Zhang Hanyu played Yang Zirong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, full of masculine charm, and Liang Jiahui played the mountain eagle, treacherous and domineering.

"The king of heaven covers the earth, and the pagoda suppresses the river monster!"

"See you on December 5th!"

In the short one and a half minute trailer, the big scene was thrilling and dazzling, and the last familiar code completely ignited the audience's passion and blood.

"The trailer is powerful! It's explosive! It looks so cool."

"Director Xu Ke, with Zhou Yutang as the producer, the quality of this movie is definitely worth looking forward to."

"I'm surprised that China can also make such good special effects."

"This is the work of Zhou Yutang's Vision Media. I heard that this special effects company has invested a lot of money and can completely match the top special effects level of Hollywood."

"It will be released next month, and it will take a long time."

"."

Zhou Yutang looked through the online reviews and feedback on the theme trailer of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy".

In general, there are more expectations.

The current movie promotion model is different from that of previous years.

In the past, Jiangdong Entertainment's movie promotion was basically a combination of poster posting, hard advertising, and traditional promotion channels such as bus stops, subway stations, and cinemas.

In addition, variety shows are used to promote and cooperate with the roadshows of the main creative team of the crew.

Now, in addition to traditional promotion channels, there are also online omni-channel content matrix pushes such as Toutiao, Bilibili, and Weibo.

In addition, it is expected to start a special pre-sale on Maoyan APP.

For a big production like this, the final publicity cost may exceed 100 million yuan.

After the glory of the National Day, the movie market in November was a bit deserted.

Only "Heart Flower Road" stood out, slowly advancing towards 1.5 billion.

Wang Baoqi's "One Man's Martial Arts" has reached 102 million in seven days. It seems that there is hope to touch the 200 million threshold, but according to the "three-one principle" of movies, in order to recover the investment cost of 150 million, at least 450 million box office is required, which is basically impossible.

Yinghuang has laid out in the mainland early, but the development is not ideal.

Except for several projects co-operated with Zhou Yutang, which were a big hit, this year's "SPL 2" handed in a satisfactory answer sheet, and Yinghuang's project failed again.

Huo Wenxi, the strong woman, is also in a state of panic.

The movie is undoubtedly a loss, but few people scold Wang Baoqi.

Baoqi has the foundation laid by Xu Sanduo and the "囧" series, as well as the blessing of the "Running Man". His national popularity is very high, and his health bar is ridiculously thick.

According to the opinions of people inside and outside the circle, Wang Baoqi's acting skills are basically recognized, and even feel sorry for him.

There are many criticisms against Yuzhou Dan.

After all, after Zhen Zidan beat ten people in "Ip Man", all the subsequent film projects failed.

In order to raise his salary, he had some unpleasantness with Yinghuang and had a fight with Zhao Wenzhuo, which ruined his popularity.

The audience's favorability plummeted, which also cast a shadow on his future.

There are no surprises in domestic movies. The foreign language blockbuster "The Lost Lover" was released for a week and the total box office reached 165 million.

After all, the quality of this movie is here, and there is no shortage of audiences in China who can appreciate it.

At this time, films such as "Fleeting Years", "Huang Feihong: The Hero Has a Dream", "My Early Menopause Girlfriend", and "The Best Life for a Coquettish Woman" that were deployed before the Lunar New Year's Day have released materials.

In addition to "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", several large-scale productions have also begun to carry out overwhelming marketing and publicity.

It is worth mentioning that Jackie Chan's new film "The Great Wall" issued an announcement to withdraw from the Lunar New Year's Day.

The statement to the outside world is that it is due to commercial considerations and the release date will be postponed to the Spring Festival.

In fact, everyone in the industry knows that, in the end, it was the failure of the Dragon Prince to live up to expectations, which had a negative impact on his father's project.

Now that this matter has not been settled, Jackie Chan really cannot carry out publicity activities.

There is no doubt that those media with no bottom line and love to stir up trouble will probably put the microphone in his mouth and ask him about his feelings about the Dragon Prince.

In addition, "Monster Hunt" produced by Enlightenment Pictures and "Tiny Times 4: The End of the Soul" by Guo Xiaosi were also implicated by the "ban on bad artists" and announced to postpone the release date.

So far.

The pattern of this year's Lunar New Year and Spring Festival has gradually become clear.

Jiang Wen's "One Step Away" looks down on everything, and Xu Ke's "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" shocked the heroes.

Wu Baige's "The Crossing" is going to overturn the entire Chinese-language film industry, revive the glory of international directors, and write his own rules and order.

"Boss La, how come "Myeongryang" has come in?"

Zhou Yutang was looking through the schedule rivals of "20 Again" and "Zhou Chu" in La Peikang's office. He was leisurely flipping through the schedule schedule of China Film Group Corporation, and suddenly saw a shadow that was not harmonious.

"After all, it is a movie that broke the box office record of South Korean movies this year."

La Peikang knew that Zhou Yutang liked it, and specially made tea for him: "How is it, do you feel any pressure, do you want to move the schedule a little?"

"Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" is scheduled for December 5th, with Wu Baige's Oriental Titanic on the top and the Korean "Myeongryang" on the bottom.

The two towering ships jointly attacked, and the situation looked a little serious.

"Haha."

Zhou Yutang's face was full of confidence: "No need to move, wait and see when the time comes."

What a joke!

With the advantage of playing at home, the publicity funds exceeded 100 million, which was higher than the production cost of "Myeongryang".

Zhou Yutang was not weak at all.

Through Pei Yun, he learned about this movie that completely set off the South Korean film industry this year.

It tells the story of the famous South Korean general Yi Sun-sin leading the only remaining 12 warships to attack the huge fleet of 330 Japanese warships.

It is somewhat different from the historical records and has undergone certain artistic processing and beautification.

The scale and results of the historical Battle of Myeongnyang were less than one-tenth of the subsequent Battle of Noryang.

The main force of the Noryang Battle was the Sino-Korean joint navy, and the core carry was the Ming navy. The overall strength of the Korean navy was far behind and could only play a supporting role.

In that battle, more than 10,000 elite naval forces of the Ming Dynasty drove huge ships across the rivers and seas and killed more than 10,000 devils.

"If there is a chance, we can also make this kind of movie."

"Yu Tang, do you have any ideas?"

"Just a few immature ideas."

Zhou Yu Tang chuckled and said, "Movies of this kind of theme will have great potential in the future."

The Koreans probably read all their history books and racked their brains to find Yi Sun-sin, who is almost touted as the greatest general in the history.

The Celestial Empire has been around for five thousand years, and there are countless famous generals.

Take the Ming Dynasty for example, all nations came to pay tribute, and the lineup was full.

Historical allusions such as the Battle of Noryang and Zheng He's voyages to the West are all movie themes that can be deeply explored, and the core selling point is national sentiment
