Entertainment: I really want to make progress

"Yu Zheng Studio's newcomer did not go through the normal art examination procedures to enter the theater, which caused controversy!"

"It was revealed that Yu Zheng Studio's newcomer was kept by a rich woman and cheated before his debut!"

"The crew of "Nirvana in Fire" issued a statement on the replacement of the role, and the newcomer Zhang Xincheng of the Central Academy of Drama was lucky to get the position!"

"."

Before seeing the sun the next day, the whole night was full of public opinion.

Zhou Yutang has never been polite to such a guy who feels good about himself and dares to poach people.

He did not leave the scene himself, and directly ordered Ni Ni to do things.

At the beginning, Ni Ni was not used to doing such things.

But after eating the boss's meal, driving the boss's Mercedes-Benz, and living in the boss's golden house, Ni Ni, this little flower, was also blackened by the scumbag boss.

It's not just this guy. She has buried many people in the past.

Now doing this thing, Ni Ni is getting more and more handy.

This guy just signed with Yu Zheng's studio not long ago. He has appeared in several of his TV series and was once called a 90s hot boy by the media.

Now he is completely finished.

Not only did he lose the variety show he cooperated with the TV station, but many rivals took the opportunity to step on him, and all kinds of negative information were flying around.

For netizens, seeing another young and handsome guy in the entertainment industry collapse in reputation, they just felt happy, and they didn't even know who was behind the scenes.

But Yu Zheng was smart and figured out the key after a little thought.

Someone must be messing with him.

And this person has great power.

After carefully asking the assistant of the newcomer Zhang, I learned that this guy had just appeared in two dramas, but he actually showed concern for Guli Nazha and wanted to pursue her.

His eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

He was busy with the lawsuit with Qiong Yao during this period.

How could he care about the artists in his own company and understand the ins and outs of the matter? He was so angry that he vomited blood.

"He has no brains, and neither do you? Doesn't he know who Guli Nazha belongs to?"

"Mr. Yu, what should we do?"

"I ask myself, who should I ask?"

Yu Zheng slumped in his chair, frowning, his expression changing several times, and finally sighed: "Inform him that the studio has terminated his contract with him."

"I suggest that he change his career and find a class to attend."

No one would notice that there was such a young man in the circle who was about to become popular, but he was beaten to death by a wave of rhythm and retired from the circle before he had time to become popular.

Zhou Yutang didn't even care about the apology call from Yu Zheng.

"Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" has reached 950 million yuan in the third week, and it is only one step away from 1 billion yuan, which has already refreshed the peak record of the career of the genius director Xu Ke.

It has also gradually widened the gap with another giant in the Lunar New Year file, "One Step Away".

Jiang Wen still failed to hold up this shelf after all.

Previously, Marco's statement that he wanted to test the depth of the Chinese film market became a joke.

Under the influence of high filming schedule and 3D ticket prices, the film closed at 340 million yuan in the first four days of the week.

This data seems to be good, but the key is that the filming schedule on the first day of release was as high as 53%. The attendance rate and the number of viewers are far behind "Let the Bullets Fly", the first work of Jiang Wen's Beiyang Trilogy.

"Jiang Lang has run out of ideas. Is this still the director Jiang who made "Let the Bullets Fly"?"

"Making money while standing and spending money while kneeling, Director Jiang is just willful."

"A lot of fragmented and scattered narratives, watching this movie, I slept for a full forty minutes."

"Let's just say, is it necessary to shoot 3D for this movie?"

Online public opinion is polarized, and word of mouth has declined rapidly, which has seriously affected the filming schedule and box office.

After 7 days of release, the box office was 390 million yuan, and the single-day box office was less than 20 million yuan.

"One Step Away" has a total investment of 300 million yuan. Excluding 5% of the special funds for movies and 57% of the box office for theaters, this means that the total box office of the film must reach about 1 billion yuan to make up for the investment.

It is another project of Emperor Entertainment Group, but this time Wanda also did it and signed a guaranteed buyout of 1 billion with the producer.

In the morning, I went through the filming of "The Burning Sun" with Cao Baoping, and at noon, I cooked in the canteen of Jiangdong Entertainment.

Inevitably talking about this matter, Cao Baoping shook his head: "Jiang Wen has a bad temper, like a firecracker, and he gets angry at any time. This time he has changed his temper and didn't get angry."

When Jiang Wen was filming "The Sun Also Rises", many viewers also said that they couldn't understand it. This brother didn't indulge him and directly retorted,

"If you don't understand, watch it a few more times. If you don't understand, go back and ask your dad."

This time the public opinion storm is even more fierce. Yesterday, when promoting the movie on the "Focus" program, Jiang Wen responded to the audience's incomprehension: "I hope the audience will feel comfortable after watching the movie, but I can't ask the audience..."

The old irritable brother in the past has gradually matured as he gets older.

But Mr. Cao, you are old, and your temper doesn't seem to be much better.

Zhou Yutang stirred the sliced ​​noodles and complained in his heart.

According to the insider of Yijie, Shishi was made to cry several times during the filming.

In the evening, during the video call, Liu Shishi was in tears, and it was Zhou Yutang who made her laugh. He spent a lot of effort.

"Shishi seems to have another play?"

"Yes, she will join the crew next month at the latest."

"It's too hard. Her foundation is okay, but her acting skills need to be matured."

Cao Baoping is used to being a teacher, and he can't help but preaching in his words.

Zhou Yutang listened humbly and responded from time to time. It can be heard that he is doing it for Shishi's good.

"Teacher Cao, when are you going to start that project?"

"Well, let's talk about it after we finish the post-production of "The Tuner."

Cao Baoping ate a garlic and slurped a mouthful of noodles: "I have to take it easy and rest for a while. I can't compare to you young people who are full of fighting spirit."

"You are still as good as ever, and you are the leader of domestic crime themes. It's a pity that you missed Berlin this year, otherwise you might have caught a bear or something."

"Haha."

Being tickled by Zhou Yutang, Cao Baoping gulped down a big mouthful of noodles and was very happy: "It doesn't matter whether he wins the award or not. The main thing is that it's really not easy for Xiao Zhang to make that script."

"It's not easy."

Zhou Yutang smiled and said: "With a good teacher like you, his future will be much easier."

The Xiao Zhang mentioned by Cao Baoping is Zhang Tianhui, a photography student of Beijing Film Academy in 2006.

He is also a strange person.

Not as talented as Zhou Yutang, he was trained as a seed player after being admitted to Beijing Film Academy.

He studied at a secondary school of fine arts. After graduation, he worked as an advertising artist, elementary school art teacher, and graphic designer. In the middle of the process, he developed a strong interest in movies and was admitted to the photography department of the Film Academy.

A script he wrote in his sophomore year won a third prize in the Golden Letter Award of the Department of Literature.

The graduation short film "Rooftop Boy" won the Excellence Award of the Photography Department. After graduation, he has been doing photography to make a living while continuing to write scripts.

The core of the story is the news of "farmers chasing murderers" in Guizhou. He ran around for this and tossed around for several years.

During this period, a director in the circle, Cai Shangjun, took the lead and made a movie "People Mountain People Sea" based on this news, which won the Best Director Award at the Venice Film Festival.

Zhang Tianhui has not given up yet. He gritted his teeth and revised 26 drafts, adding suspense and black humor and other genre elements to the original script.

Then he submitted the Best Script Award established by the Golden Letter Award sponsored by the Department of Literature of the Film Academy.

The teachers of the academy voted unanimously and awarded him the highest award of the Best Script Award.

After four years of painstaking efforts, he finally made a splash.

Cao Baoping personally sent the script to the All-Industry Screenwriter Gold Award sponsored by Zhou Yutang.

Several final judges gave high scores, and finally the script was sent to Zhou Yutang, and also won the annual script gold award.

This award is not high or low, but the prize money is extremely generous. Zhang Tianhui directly received 3 million, and then signed a script transfer agreement with Jiang Dong.

A photographer who doesn't want to be a director is not a good photographer.

Zhang Tianhui is no exception.

But doing a project is not playing house.

The cost accounting of this script is 30 million. Although it can't be called a big production, it is definitely impossible to hand over the director's baton to a completely inexperienced newcomer like him.

So Cao Baoping was invited to direct, and Zhang Tianhui signed three contracts as assistant director, director of photography, and screenwriter.

"There will be more and more talents emerging in the future."

Cao Baoping put down his chopsticks and suddenly became interested: "Let's have some white wine?"

"Teacher Cao, I have a meeting in the afternoon."

Zhou Yutang smiled and said, "I'll drink this."

"AD calcium milk!?"

Cao Baoping's eyes almost popped out.

"As long as there is affection, drinking milk is also wine."

"Forget it, I'll do it myself."

Jiangdong Canteen has a full range of beverages and alcoholic drinks. Cao Baoping doesn't like Moutai, so he asked for a bottle of Huanggai Fenjiu.

Without saying much, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all by himself.

"Teacher Cao, take it easy, this wine is 53 degrees, and it has a strong aftertaste."

"That's all, it's a piece of cake. If I didn't have work in the afternoon, two kilograms would be easy."

Old Cao smacked his lips and took a few pieces of braised beef that Zhou Yutang specially asked for him to suppress the alcohol.

"Great!"

Zhou Yutang drank AD calcium milk and gave Old Cao a thumbs up.

Before drinking, he was from Shanxi. After a few glasses of wine, Shanxi was his.

The two people's mode of getting along is more like friends than teacher and student.

Lao Cao feels very comfortable. Zhou Yutang can pick up whatever he says.

And often a few words can point out the blind spots that he doesn't understand.

"What is Jin Yukun doing recently?"

"It seems that he is working on a co-production project."

The screen of Zhou Yutang's mobile phone on the table lit up, and the news of Tianxian, and then the mobile phone in his trouser pocket also vibrated, and the first sister shared her lunch again.

He lowered his head and started to get busy.

"Co-production project?"

Lao Cao was a little curious: "You Jiangdong invested?"

"That's not the case."

Zhou Yutang smiled and said: "There is a boss outside who asked him to do a project. He co-directed with Singapore and Director Tailand. It is a three-part story and shot in three countries."

"Heart Labyrinth" won many awards at home and abroad, making Jin Yukun famous, and soon there was an olive branch from capital to him.

The entertainment industry is like this. As long as you are famous, you can turn it into cash.

Director Jin Yukun's contract was signed in Jiangdong, and the key project must be controlled by the company.

But there are no suitable projects at the moment. If he wants to take on other roles to make money, the company will not stop him.

"The pattern is very big."

Looking at Zhou Yutang biting the straw to suck milk, Cao Baoping lowered his head and sent messages to two mobile phones in turn, and he was sincerely moved.

He has been a teacher for so many years and has seen countless talented students like Jin Yukun and Zhang Tianhui.

But most of them did not get the opportunity, chose to go against life, and finally became mediocre.

He can't do anything about this.

Making a movie is a systematic project.

If you only have talent and ability, if you want to do a project, having a good book is the foundation. The key is that someone has to give you money to organize the project.

The upward channel of this circle has long been blocked, and most of the resources are only in the hands of a small group of people.

Nowadays, it is rare to find a figure like Zhou Yutang, which can be regarded as opening up a chance for the bottom of the circle to rise.

Cao Baoping raised his head and drained the glass of liquor in one gulp.

Rich and refreshing, inexplicably refreshing.

It should come to light.

No one expected that the Lunar New Year giant "One Step Away" had high hopes.

After entering the second week, the single-day box office dropped by 15 million.

The situation is more serious than expected.

Jiang Wen also didn't sleep well for a few days and called Zhou Yutang, feeling a little melancholy.

He wants to come up with good things and share them with everyone.

But it's a pity that this time the price was too high.

"Let's start over."

Zhou Yutang recently comforted Huang Xiaoming and then Jiang Wen.

At the same time, I also secretly warned myself to take this as a lesson.

The director's desire for self-expression is too strong and ignores the audience's viewing experience, which is not a good thing.

It's like that line in the movie.

Movies are art that people all over the world can understand.

The audience is the foundation.

When "One Step Away" went far, the box office of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" finally passed the 1 billion threshold.

At this time, Zhou Yutang was a little surprised by the replacement of the great director Gu Changwei's "Little Love: Getting Better".

He received an invitation to the premiere, but didn't go. Unexpectedly, the box office on the first day of release reached 36 million, and he snatched the number one box office spot from "Tiger Mountain".

The director who won the Berlin Silver Bear Jury Prize really has something. Not only can he get the female lead, Zhang Jingchu, but the cast of Chen Chichi and Yang Ying can also make him look good.

To say that it was the worst, no one was worse than Wu Baige.

"Peace Wheel: Part 1", which was released at the beginning of the month, by late December, had only a few hundred thousand left in the single-day box office, making it a complete laughing stock in the industry.

Zhang Zhao of Enlight Pictures did not just stay silent, but instead made big things happen.

"The fair value of LeTV Pictures' grant of 1 yuan of investment is 40.37 yuan. Chen Kaige invested 2.08 million yuan to subscribe for 82 million yuan worth of shares in LeTV Pictures. He will become the first celebrity major shareholder of LeTV and will serve as the company's art director. Both parties There will be in-depth cooperation!”

The announcement jointly issued by LeTV and Chen Kaige Studio caused a small earthquake in the entertainment industry.

Brother Chen Kai is making a lot of money now.

It's not as fast as robbing a bank!

But Ni Ni felt that there was something fishy about it: "Boss, are LeTV and Brother Chen Kai planning to make some big move?"

Everything was done by the secretary, but it gave Ni Ni enough sense of smell and sensitivity.

Zhou Yutang smiled and nodded: "Boss Jia is very clever at buying horse bones with a lot of money."

Many people think that Boss Jia is stupid and rich, but they don’t know that he is on the fifth floor.

Brother Chen Kai is the bait for fishing.

LeTV wants to be the leading film company in the Internet era and build the entire LeTV ecosystem based on this.

Boss Jia has long targeted the celebrities in the industry.

In addition to their extraordinary influence, each of them is also wealthy. For LeTV, they are the perfect partners.

Zhou Yutang was probably the first to feel the charm of Boss Jia’s ppt.

He has enough confidence to reject Boss Jia, but those celebrities in the circle who want to complete the transition of status and class are probably ready to suffocate for Boss Jia's dream.

China Film and LeTV are also close friends. These two companies are one of the main producers of "The Wheel".

After it was officially announced that Kaige Chen had signed with LeTV, Legendary Pictures, Universal, and China Film Group jointly issued the latest announcement:

It is confirmed that Chen Kaige will take over the US$150 million Sino-US co-production "The Great Wall", and the project is currently entering the casting stage.

As soon as the news came out, the entire domestic entertainment industry exploded.

Some were shocked, some were stunned, and some were excited.

I originally thought that it was a sure thing that the head of China Film Group would pay close attention to Jiangdong and ask Zhou Yutang to take charge of this project.

There are also some people who are betting on Zhang Yimou. After all, there is no doubt about the influence of the National Master in the world.

I really didn’t expect that the girl would end up with Brother Chen Kai.

Poet Chen seems to have been quiet for a long time since he became a star overnight in Cannes. This time he finally got a chance to prove himself.

The key is that news continues to be released, saying that director Chen Kaige intends to invite Zhou Yutang to star in "The Great Wall" and form an "unparalleled pair" with top Hollywood superstar Leonardo.

"Oh my God, if this lineup is really like this, I will definitely go to the cinema to support it." - Supermarket Me.

"Haha, does Brother Chen Kai have this ability? Since "Farewell My Concubine", he has been resting on his laurels." - Someone else's little lolita.

"There are only a few master-level film directors in China who support Director Chen!" - Chen Hong is the most beautiful.

"Zhou Yutang plus Leonardo, and Liu Tianxian as the heroine, tsk tsk, perfect." - deliberate.

Regarding the casting, not much information has been revealed, but several big-name actresses who were originally interested in PR heroines were too embarrassed to try again.

This is also the most basic human sophistication.

The Governor of Jiangdong, who covers the sky with one hand, has been tricked by Hollywood bosses. How can he have the nerve to harass others again?

Zhou Yutang was happy to be free, but he also received a comforting call from Teacher Fan, who advised him to think more positively.

Recently, Teacher Fan has been busy with the publicity work for "The Empress of China", which will be broadcast in early December.

The ratings have been rising all the way, and it is likely to take the lead in the TV drama circle at the beginning of the year.

This is the good thing about mature women.

They understand the customs and know when to advance and retreat, which always makes people excited and intoxicated.

Zhou Yutang was addicted to the gentle words of the elder sister and made an appointment to reminisce before the New Year.

"Director Chen Kaige has long been famous, and because of "Farewell My Concubine", he has become a god. I even think that he is Zhou Yutang of the previous era."

"Everyone has a big misunderstanding about Director Kaige. Now looking back at the 2005 film "The Promise" directed by Chen Kaige, I suddenly feel that this film hits the pain point of people's hearts, and is even more profound and direct than all his previous works. The scenes are magnificent and are not inferior to some special effects blockbusters."

The arguments supporting Chen Kaige suddenly appeared on the Internet. As if they had made an appointment, the poet's iron fans who had been lurking for many years all came out at this time:

"The Promise was severely criticized back then, and we all blamed Chen Kaige wrongly!"

"It's time for another big production to revive the reputation of international directors."

"Watching "The Promise" again now is really different. I can only say that Director Kaige's aesthetics are too advanced."

"After all, he is the first domestic director to win the Palme d'Or at Cannes. He must have something. But the Grand Commander seems to have a full schedule. Will he take this role?"

It's impossible to take it.

As Chen Kaige's good wife, Chen Hong basically served as a bridge of communication between Chen Kaige and Zhou Yutang.

She had already called the night before the news came out, but Zhou Yutang refused without leaving any room.

"Oh my god, can poet Chen hold it?"

Ning Hao was also shocked, and ran to Zhou Yutang's office to eat melons on the spot.

"Let's wait and see."

Zhou Yutang spread his hands: "Maybe Chen Kaige will stand up."

In fact, after he pushed this project, he had expected it in his heart.

There are only a few big directors in the circle.

Apart from him, Lao Mouzi has other projects, and recently he has been discussing the Winter Olympics with his superiors.

As for the remaining domestic big directors, Wu Baige sank to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean with the Taiping.

Only Li An and Xu Ke are most suitable to take over this project.

Unfortunately, Li An also has other important things to do and refused. After all, Xu Ke is not as well connected as Kaiye in the Beijing circle.

After careful consideration, Legend, Universal and China Film decided to pass the ball to poet Chen.

"Mr. Han, did you recite a poem?"

Zhou Yutang's gossip spirit was burning, and he specially called Han Sanping who was at the signing site of the four giants.

"What do you mean, did you recite a poem?" Han Sanping just felt puzzled.

"That's it, when signing the contract, did Director Kai recite a poem?"

"."

Han Sanping's mouth twitched slightly, satisfying Zhou Yutang's gossip: "How did you know."

After chatting for a few words and hanging up the phone, Zhou Yutang finally couldn't help laughing out loud, browsing the news online, and almost imagined the spectacular scene of Brother Chen Kai pointing out the world and inspiring words.

At that moment, poet Chen's hands were shaking a little.

But his eyes should be a little dazed and a little empty.

He must have remembered the glory of his brilliant clothes and riding a horse, and ascending to the throne in Cannes.

After years of silence, I have accumulated a lot of experience and am now waiting to rise again and regain my glory.

"If the spring breeze has pity on flowers, can you let me be young again?"

ps: Sao Rui, I got home late after get off work, and I didn't check when I copied and uploaded it to the backend. There are many errors and omissions, which have been modified and deleted.
