Entertainment: I really want to make progress

Legendary Pictures and Universal Pictures are joining forces to layout the Chinese film market, which is not a rash move.

There are professional data research institutions that have already done market research in advance.

This year, the global film market box office is about 37.5 billion US dollars, of which America accounts for 27%, still an absolute dominant position.

The Chinese film market also accounts for 20%, ranking second in the world.

Considering that the total number of screens in China has exceeded 25,000, and the number of moviegoers and screens is surging, the market potential has not yet been fully tapped.

It is expected that in the next three years, China is likely to surpass the North American market and become the world's number one box office.

The Chinese film market will take off.

It is just around the corner.

Ning Hao and Xu Ke have both entered the billion box office club, and the three old directors of the domestic generation can't sit still.

Brother Chen Kai has really seen all the flowers in Chang'an recently.

Not long ago, he was awarded the French Commander of Arts and Letters Medal, and then took over such a fairy resource as "The Great Wall".

Among the three major directors, Lao Mouzi has started pre-promotion for his new work "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils".

The remaining one is Xiao Gangpow, who also plays himself in "Old Cannon", and the old man is still young.

Everyone has a bright future.

"Congratulations to Tiantian on the completion of the filming."

"Thank you, director, thank you everyone."

Jing Tian received the assistant's notice when she returned to the crew of "Legend of Ban Shu" to reshoot scenes.

She handed the flowers sent by the director to the assistant beside her.

With a sweet smile and a polite bow on her beautiful oval face, she thanked the crew members.

Jing Tian found a secluded place, read the contract, and then called Lu Zheng,

"Uncle Lu, I received the contract."

"I'm glad to receive it, this role is yours."

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Is the crew done with the reshoots?"

"Yes."

"Don't worry about this project. Director Kaige has another drama in his hands. It will probably be next year when he arranges it. You should join the crew for training in advance." Lu Zheng taught earnestly.

"Uncle Lu, I got it."

Jing Tian wanted to ask about Zhou Yutang again, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them. She just forced a smile and thanked him: "Thank you for troubling Uncle Lu."

"Ah, silly girl."

Lu Zheng put down the phone and felt a little headache.

It is not a good thing to meet someone too amazing when you are young.

He is also an experienced person, how can he not understand the little girl's thoughts.

If we talk about Zhou Yutang's appearance, wealth, and scheming, all of them are the best choice, and it can even be said that he is the best of his generation.

After all, even the big leaders commented that this is a figure that has not appeared in the Celestial Empire for decades, and it plays an extremely important role in the future cultural strategic layout of the Celestial Empire.

Even with Jing Tian's background and conditions, her elders in the family will definitely have nothing to say.

But no one is perfect, and Lu Zheng knows about Zhou Yutang's romantic affairs.

How can a playboy in the field of love be a good match?

After "Introduction to Architecture", Jing Tian's popularity exploded and she has become a first-line star. Lu Zheng also consciously arranged Jing Tian's work and deliberately reduced the number of times they met.

One can only hope that time will make Jing Tian's thoughts fade away.

Watching his mobile phone screen turn black, Lu Zheng murmured in his heart: "Tiantian, Uncle Lu is also doing this for your own good. You can't control this man."

The phone vibrated.

Tiantian's beautiful eyes lit up, and her slender hands quickly unlocked the screen.

It turned out that it was not Zhou Yutang's news, and she pursed her lips in disappointment.

The assistant beside him was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth: "Congratulations, Tiantian, this is a big production of 150 million US dollars co-produced by the two countries. I heard that Fan Binbin, Li Binbin, Zhao Yanzi and Zhang Ziyi are all competing for the heroine."

Although it may be suspected of rainbow fart, it is true.

The head of Legendary Pictures said that it was a leap-forward attempt.

Maybe in the next 10 years, there will be no more exciting movies than this.

The project has just been finalized, and the female lead has already been chosen before the audition.

It's no exaggeration.

Just the contract in Jing Tian's hand.

The big actresses in the entire entertainment industry would be jealous.

But Jing Tian didn't feel happy even though it was obviously an excellent resource.

The playground in the sunny afternoon flashed through his mind.

Zhou Yutang, wearing a red and black jersey, sweated wantonly, strode across the green field, and his posture was agile.

The man on the street was like jade, and the young man was unparalleled in the world.

He should have been the one.

The sweet princess frowned slightly and sighed. Just looking at the phone and seeing that there was no reply to the message, she felt empty in her heart.

It was New Year's Day.

The movie market was full of smoke during the Lunar New Year.

The capital was also very lively.

Dozens of clansmen, led by Long Wu, arrived in Beijing in a low-key and solemn manner.

Soon, news came out that the head of China Star died of illness in Beijing Union Hospital.

Mainland audiences may not know much about China Star, but Mr. Huang of Gome invested 550 million yuan this month to become a major shareholder of China Star.

The predecessor of this company was Yongsheng Film Company.

The movies produced by it have always dominated the rankings of Hong Kong movies in the golden age, such as "Fight Back to School", "God of Gamblers", "The Supreme Plan", "Justice, My Foot", "Flirting Scholar" and other movies, which are still the top of the overall ranking of Hong Kong movies.

The Long family quickly issued an obituary to the public, and many viewers in the domestic entertainment industry also discussed the matter.

There was quite a commotion this time. In addition to the Long family members, celebrities from Hong Kong, including Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau, and Lau Jialin, also gathered in the capital to express their condolences to the boss.

Putting aside his membership in the Longwu family, Ah Sheng can also be regarded as a powerful figure in the film industry.

Some netizens compiled a table of the film projects he has worked on to make statistics.

I was surprised to find that every film project that passed through his hands never failed, but he only made more money and less money. Among them, there are many Hong Kong movie classics.

"Is this Xiangjiang Zhou Yutang from the previous era?"

"Zhou Cao, Zhou Yutang seems to have never lost money on film and television projects."

"It's a bit too much to touch the porcelain boss. Da Dudu has a box office of double 2 billion to become a god. That is an invincible existence. At most, Asheng is a bankrupt version."

"It doesn't matter how much money you have, health is the most important thing."

"There are a lot of celebrities here. It was so tense a while ago, but I didn't expect that Star Master would also come."

In addition to Hong Kong stars such as Zhou Runfa, Zhou Xingxing also took a break from the set of Mermaid and flew directly to the capital.

"Xiang Sheng is kind to me. Without him, I wouldn't be able to do what I do."

Zhou Xingxing said this to Zhou Yutang.

To say that Master Xing is also a very complicated person, no one knows what he is thinking in his heart.

He came in a hurry and left in a hurry. He didn't have time to communicate more with Zhou Yutang. After paying his condolences, he flew back to Shencheng that night.

The Lunar New Year holiday is full of smoke. As the producer of "The Tiger Mountain", Zhou Yutang participated in a roadshow to promote the film at Huaqing University, and the response was quite enthusiastic.

Director Xu Ke, the new member of the 1 billion box office club, sighed in his heart.

At this stage, when it comes to influence among young people, no one in the entire entertainment industry can surpass Zhou Yutang.

After finishing the road show, Zhou Yutang flew into Shanghai to participate in the drama promotion work of "Qing Yu Nian 2" together with Li Yao, Tian Yu and others.

As soon as the plane landed, I received news from Zou Zhongyan that "Chi Ling" had entered the list of best foreign language films at this year's Oscars.

"Congratulations to Director Zhou for your second Oscar nomination."

Zhou Yutang's cell phone was on speakerphone, and Tian Yu asked more questions and sent blessings on the spot.

"Congratulations, boss."

Li Yao smiled lightly, her eyes filled with soft light.

"Search" was nominated the year before last, and with this year's "Red Ling", Zhou Yutang has been nominated for an Oscar for the second time.

"It's just a nomination."

Zhou Yutang waved his hand and said modestly: "The final result is not certain yet."

Next, nine films will enter the next round of voting to compete for the final five nominations, which may require public relations.

"If Mr. Zhou takes action, it must be stable."

Tian Yu smiled and looked a little happy.

In fact, this guy is a very humorous and interesting person in private.

After cooperating in "My Love from the Star", the relationship with Zhou Yutang has remained good. Zhou Yutang even attended his wedding and personally sent her blessings.

I was in the magical city and saw Ms. Wang Fengqin after a long absence.

The Queen Mother's career is getting bigger and bigger now.

There are garment factories in Kunshan and companies in Shanghai.

Considering that she had to travel back and forth between places every day, Zhou Yutang arranged for the Queen Mother to have a house in Shanghai.

We originally booked the Shimao Sheshan Manor Villa, but the Queen Mother had reached her rebellious stage and had her own ideas.

She basically lived with Comrade Lao Zhou in her hometown in Yancheng. She didn't like the villa because it was too big, and she didn't live in the city all the time anyway, so she bought a flat-floor apartment with her own money.

Zhou Yutang also let her go.

This year, Yu Sheng borrowed the inspiration from "A Little Smile Is Charming" again. Photos of Chen Xiao and Gulinazha's endorsements went viral, and the new season's clothing exploded.

Ms. Wang Fengqin enjoyed the benefits of the first wave of online stores, backed by the Jiangdong label, and now has a net worth of at least a few small goals.

But money comes from money. The older generation has endured hardships. They were used to being frugal in the past and cannot change many of their consumption habits.

Except for buying this house, Ms. Wang Fengqin never spends money on any luxury goods, and basically does not have any big expenses. She said she wants to save money for her son to find a wife.

Zhou Yutang was sweating profusely.

The Queen Mother's few small goals may not be enough.

He has a solo trip and basically lives in the western suburbs of Shanghai, which is close to the airport and convenient for catching announcements.

It was a luxurious villa purchased for nearly 20 million yuan a few years ago. It was located on the lakeside and had a huge area. It was also the love nest of Zhou Yutang and Liu Shishi.

There is also a house in Tangchen Yipin, the iconic mansion of the Magic City, which is used as a honey tasting base.

Damimi likes to put her hands against the window and overlook the Huangpu River.

However, the two of them met in the capital most of the time, and Tomson Yipin's honey tasting base was only used a few times a year.

But according to domestic housing prices that are soaring like a rocket, even if it is only used for investment and financial management, the appreciation of this property alone will earn tens of millions.

The sugar-eating base is a 500m flat floor in Xuhui.

Dilraba lives in an art apartment on Hengshan Road, which is slightly smaller, only about 160 square meters.

At that time, a certain professor's daughter settled abroad and gave birth to a baby. She had to go abroad to take care of her, so Zhou Yutang got the old professor's welfare apartment.

It happened that Reba was still in school, so it was more convenient to live closer.

Outsiders call him the King of Jiangdong Tower, also known as Zhou Bancheng, and he is talking about Zhou Yutang.

From Beijing to the north, Xiangjiang to the south, and Dian Province to the west, Zhou Yutang has top-notch mansions in all of them.

Because there were so many properties, he couldn't even remember the rest, except for the golden house where the treasures were hidden. Anyway, there was a professional team helping him take care of these things.

During this period, real estate in China grew wildly, and buying a house was also a stable investment method for asset appreciation.

The Lunar New Year war has come to an end, and the smoke from the film market has gradually dissipated.

Except for Gu Changwei's "Micro Love", which came from behind, it was inextricably matched with the imported blockbuster "Night at the Museum 3".

The other "Tai Ping Huan" only reported a revenue of 192 million and ended sadly. "One Step Away" has already dropped a million at the box office in a single day, and it is also exhausted.

"One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes", "Xu Sanguan", "The Evaporated Pacific", "The Golden Fortune", etc. have all gloriously become cannon fodder before the Spring Festival.

Only the 3D versions of "The Grandmaster" and "Kung Fu" specially made for fans are somewhat popular. After all, what is consumed is feelings.

Zhou Yutang stayed in Magic City for several days. After finishing the promotion of the drama "Sweeping Buildings" at Station B, he met Tian Ming and listened to the work report of Chen Min, the boss of Star Games.

After finishing recording "Can Fan Listen", Zhou Yutang flew back to the capital to attend the "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" celebration banquet hosted by China Film.

La Pei Kang, who had taken the blame, urgently needed such a grand ceremony to show off his muscles.

The box office figure of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" was finally fixed at 1.208 billion, which has swept this year's Lunar New Year festival and became the third film in the entire Chinese film industry to exceed 1 billion in the year.

"The Secret of the Dragon" to kick off the new year, "The Flowers of the Heart" to open during the National Day, and "Take the Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" during the Lunar New Year.

Ning Hao and Xu Ke soared successively, and Zhou Yutang also completed a gorgeous three consecutive kills.

With such a brilliant record, Jiangdong Entertainment is firmly on the leading throne, shocking the entertainment industry.

For such a grand ceremony in the film and television industry, almost everyone, except the first- and second-tier celebrities who are still on the crew, has received invitations.

Artists who were not invited were anxious and trying to find ways to get through.

If you can't get into this Vanity Fair, it means you don't have enough status.

The scene of the celebration banquet.

The crazy flashing lights in the audience never stopped.

Several people on the stage were humble.

Finally, Pei Kang and Xu Ke were pushed to the C position.

Zhou Yutang stood beside Wang Changtian, another boss of Fang Guangguang.

While talking and laughing, they smashed the ice sculpture that symbolized the brilliant box office figures.

The applause from the scene suddenly sounded like thunder.

Xu Ke drank a lot tonight, but the one who accompanied him to accept the flowers and glory was not Shi Nansheng, but the young female assistant.

"It seems like this mistress has an average appearance..."

Ni Ni looked at it frequently and muttered.

This is not as good as your own boss.

It's a little scummy, but the taste is trustworthy.

Whether she is a fairy, a sister, Nazha, etc., they are all top-notch beauties.

Moreover, the boss is not married and is just having fun, but Old Monster Xu abandoned his wife who is a loser.

But Ni Ni's emotional intelligence was fine, so she complained in front of Zhou Yutang.

Zhou Yutang smiled lightly.

Mr. Xu has been up and down in the film industry for decades, and has experienced the most glorious period of Hong Kong movies, including Li Jiaxin, Guan Zhilin, Wang Zuxian

What kind of beauty have you never seen?

Men of this age may not actually value a woman’s beauty the most, but the fragrant youthfulness of a girl can help him regain his youthful self.

Xu Ke is a well-known figure in Hong Kong circles, and many Hong Kong directors and stars are here tonight.

But the focus of discussion is undoubtedly Zhou Yutang.

Watching Zhou Yutang talking to Chen Musheng and Lam Chao-yin, two great directors in Hong Kong, many artists at the scene were moved.

The news that "Operation Mekong" has been approved and approved has also been hot news on various entertainment portals recently.

The celebrity artists who can participate in this celebration banquet have some background background. According to the information disclosed so far, the production cost of this crime action film with a main theme starts at 200 million yuan. It is a proper commercial film production!

Maybe it can be like "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" and achieve both box office and word-of-mouth success.

For artists, being able to participate in such a project is definitely an opportunity for advancement.

As a result, an endless stream of celebrities began to come over to say hello to Zhou Yutang.

"Mr. Zhou, congratulations."

After Li Binbin left, Fatty Wang took advantage of every opportunity and took the initiative to come up with a wine glass to congratulate him. His smiling eyes narrowed to a slit.

""Zhou Chu" has been scheduled for this year's Spring Festival, so everyone is about to catch it."

"It's fate to meet Director Wang."

Zhou Yutang smiled and clinked his wine glasses with Fatty Wang.

"Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" will face off against "The Wind and Cloud 2" directed by Fatty Wang next month.

"I hope Mr. Zhou can be merciful and not beat me too badly."

Fatty Wang looked helpless: "Otherwise, I'd be miserable and I wouldn't be able to explain to the bosses."

"hehe."

Zhou Yutang smiled, thinking he was joking.

Fatty Wang is a man who is prone to drinking, sex, and wealth, and looks a little greasy.

But there is one advantage that Zhou Yutang appreciates very much.

That is to read "Position", the four famous works in the entertainment industry.

Hong Kong has not been peaceful recently, and some people with ulterior motives are causing trouble.

There are also many crooked butts in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong.

Fatty Wang, Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Chen Baixiang and others stepped forward at this time and stood with the mainland under pressure, which is extremely rare.

It was precisely because Fatty Wang was aware of current affairs that Zhou Yutang chatted more with him.

"Mr. Zhou, Director Chen and I have been reading the files these past few days."

Lin Chaoxian's expression was serious: "I have a few immature ideas that I would like to share with you."

The three people chatted.

During this time, Zhou Yutang was very busy, and Lin Chaoxian and Chen Musheng were not idle either.

They each led a team and not only reviewed the files at Six Doors Headquarters, but also some audio and video recordings that had not been disclosed to the public. They also made a phased summary and determined that the film would be shot entirely in real locations.

Just as he was talking about finalizing the starring cast before going to the Golden Triangle for a field trip, Zhou Yutang glanced at a familiar face walking towards him.

"Mr. Zhou, I'd like to toast you."

Zhang Hanyu drank a lot tonight, and his dark face was glowing red.

"Um."

Zhou Yutang looked him over and asked slowly, "Are there any dates next year?"

"!?"

Zhang Hanyu shuddered, and then opened his eyes wide, with a look of surprise on his dark and red face:

"Of course, what are Mr. Zhou's plans?"

"In the drama "Operation Mekong", I think your image is very suitable for the male lead. When the time comes, you can come over and audition."

"Mr. Zhou, thank you, I won't say any more, it's all in the wine!"

Zhang Hanyu did not hesitate. He downed three glasses of red wine in succession and did not forget to toast each of the two directors with a glass of wine. His emotional intelligence was on point and attracted the attention of others at the table.

"What do Director Chen and Director Lin think?"

After he left, Zhou Yutang took a sip of red wine and asked sideways.

"You can give it a try."

"Mr. Zhou has a really sharp eye for looking at people."

Chen Musheng and Lin Chaoxian looked at each other.

Everyone nodded.

This is not flattery, Zhou Yutang Xuanhe's record is the best footnote. He really has nothing wrong with others.

Zhang Hanyu's image is upright and awe-inspiring, with a tough military temperament.

Moreover, he had just scored 1 billion in Xu Laoguai's movie, which is somewhat auspicious.

Yinghuang's close friend Xie Tingfeng, together with Zhang Hanyu, and Jiangdong Xiaohua Li Yao, who is also confirmed by default, the starring line-up is basically confirmed if there are no surprises.

…………

"Director Li, what's going on?"

To be honest, Zhou Yutang was a little surprised when he received a call from Li Shaohong just after finishing his workout in the morning.

But I heard that Teacher Tian’s old classmate stayed up all night and listened patiently to her story. Zhou Yutang was a little funny: "Director Li, what you mean is that Yang Yang is not going to renew the contract with Rong Xinda now, and is still asking Rong Xinda The company sent a letter to terminate the brokerage contract between the two parties? "

"That's right. "Tomb Raiders Notes" is a contract he signed in his personal capacity."

"You said he is planning to switch jobs at Jiangdong Entertainment?"

"As far as I know, that's it." Li Shaohong's voice was full of fatigue.

"Director Li, don't worry, this is definitely not the case."

"That's good"

Li Shaohong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Zhou Yutang's decisive voice.

Zhou Yutang is very wealthy and powerful. If she really wants to rob someone, to be honest, she doesn't have much choice.

Zhou Yutang immediately called Zhou Shufang.

Jiangdong Entertainment's operating system is quite mature, and he has never interfered with the affairs of the artist management department below.

Zhou Shufang also said that this was indeed the case.

Fortunately, it is true that he is petty in his work, but Li Shaohong, the leader, also has true love for Yang Yang.

Jia Baoyu, who was selected to film Dream of Red Mansions, will be trained as a lucky brother in the future.

However, people go to higher places and water flows to lower places.

Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, and Yang Mi ran away one after another because they couldn't get good resources if they stayed in Luckyda.

Yang Yang's popularity is gradually gaining momentum now, and there are signs of becoming a big hit, so it's normal to look down on Lucky Da.

However, when Yang Yang's team contacted Jiangdong Entertainment, they also put forward a condition, hoping to guarantee a male lead in one Jiangdong film and television drama every year.

"He has capable people behind him."

Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly and saw through it at a glance.

"Now he is very close to Jia Shikai." Zhou Shufang is also a good person, and she has already done the background work.

"No wonder."

Zhou Yutang sneered: "Want to use Jiangdong Entertainment to carry the sedan chair?"

It is naturally best to be able to embrace Jiangdong's thigh, and it also leaves a way out, and flirts with the first-tier film and television companies in the industry such as Huanrui and Cehua.

"Mr. Zhou, I think Yang Yang has great potential. Do you want to give it a try?"

"Forget it, it's Director Li's favorite after all."

Zhou Yutang, however, directly set the tone: "Issuing an announcement to clarify the matter and telling Jia Shikai not to get involved."

Zhou Shufang understood and started to do things.

In the company, there are four young students, Zhu Yilong, Kaikai Wang, Chen Xiao, and Li Jian, who support the company, and there are Lu Handingliu waiting for food.

There is no shortage of Yang Yang.
