Entertainment: I really want to make progress

There is always socializing and socializing at a cocktail party.

But Zhou Yutang rarely drinks on such occasions.

However, Miss Liu was in a good mood tonight and had a few more drinks with Mr. Zhou.

Her cheeks were as red as flowers.

On the way back, Liu Tianxian leaned on Zhou Yutang's shoulder to relax.

She didn't even bother to pay attention to the paw on her thigh.

"Drink some water."

Zhou Yutang didn't just touch his legs.

He took out a bottle of ice-cold AD calcium milk from the car refrigerator, inserted a straw into it and handed it to Liu Tianxian.

After she took a few sips and seemed to have calmed down, she said, "Xiao Zhou, many people are coming to see you tonight."

"It's all for the roles in those dramas"

Today it's not just Sister Lianhua who was ridiculed by Teacher Fan, there are many people who have the same purpose.

Gu Changwei brought his nephew and daughter, Chen Hong introduced Arthur, and Wang Jinghua wanted to recommend her son Dong Zijian

These can be dealt with at will.

What's even more troublesome is that some second-generation people with special backgrounds also have dreams of becoming stars.

He asked the elders in the family to use various connections to get him into Jiang Dong's new drama and bring his talent to the entertainment industry.

Liu Tianxian listened to Zhou Yutang's words and noticed that he rubbed his forehead, and held his arms tighter.

Maybe even Zhou Yutang didn't notice it. This was a subconscious action when he was in trouble and thinking.

Liu Tianxian, who was well protected by Aunt Liu at the beginning, was really inexperienced in worldly affairs, so he was able to portray the ethereal fairy spirit of Xiao Longnu.

But a girl who grew up wandering around with her mother must be very sensitive to external emotions and observe the world carefully.

After staying in this circle for a long time, Liu Yifei became more and more aware of people's looks, and became more aware of the transactions between favors and interests in this vanity fair.

I obviously want to help with something, but I can't do anything.

This feels bad.

The city was as deep as Zhou Yutang's, and his true emotions could only be revealed for a moment. He then reached out and gently pulled Liu Tianxian's plump body into his arms.

"It's okay, it's not a big problem."

"Then how did you deal with it?" Liu Yifei asked curiously.

"Just say no politely."

Zhou Yutang's expression was calm.

As his voice in the entertainment industry becomes more and more profound.

There are more and more situations like this.

The running system of the Celestial Dynasty determines that it is difficult for ordinary people to get ahead.

But if some second-generation people want to do something, the family will always try their best to pave the way.

However, Zhou Yutang had no intention of spoiling these second generations.

For the projects he wants to do, he only uses the people he thinks are the most suitable.

As for the consequences of rejecting those second-generation people, he has the confidence to bear them.

Although Zhou Yutang usually doesn't cause trouble, with his current energy, he is definitely not afraid of trouble.

Every time she is with Zhou Yutang, Miss Liu always sleeps particularly soundly the next day.

When she got up, she didn't see Zhou Yutang, so she touched the phone on the bedside table and checked it.

Mainly based on the feedback from film critics and audiences.

"If we say that the first half is a decent commercial film that combines action, suspense, and crime, it can be given 70 points.

Then the final climax undoubtedly sublimates the level of the entire movie, which can make the entire movie reach 85 points.

Zhou Yutang's acting skills have improved again, giving the audience a hearty movie-watching experience.

Lao Mouzi also conducted a very successful experiment. He very ambitiously revealed human nature and certain existing social problems in the local area."

——Fang Li Riyue

"Zhou Yutang created a very interesting story, and on this basis, Lao Mouzi showed the strength that a great director should have.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a thrilling crime movie.

The relationship between the hero and the heroine is not necessarily love. This is a story about redemption, and it also contains profound thoughts about human nature.

Zhou Yutang's acting skills are really amazing.

The supporting actors in the movie, including Wu Zhenyu and Jin Shijie, all performed superbly and gave the audience a big surprise.

This is a masterpiece worth watching.

I think the audience will not be lonely during this year’s Spring Festival. "

——Wei Jun

Those famous film critics are very dedicated, and the first wave of film review reports on "Zhou Chu" came out that night.

Entertainment portals and major forums are full of discussions about "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils".

"The movie "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" directed by director Zhang Yimou and starring Zhou Yutang can be called a phenomenal crime action blockbuster!"

"The premiere of "The Three Evils" was a hit! The applause lasted for a long time!"

"Predicted to be the box office king during the Spring Festival, "Zhou Chu Abandoned Three Evils" is the most explosive crime film of Tianchao Film in more than ten years!"

“The most unmissable movie during the Spring Festival!”

"."

A small number of viewers have criticized the scale of the film.

I don’t know if it’s because Zhou Yutang’s hands and eyes are open to the sky, or because he is complaining about certain directors.

But anyway, most of them are good reviews.

The movie reviewers who recommended "Zhou Chu" all gave thumbs up. After a pleasant night, Miss Liu stretched out comfortably.

The beautiful curves were on full display, and a comfortable low moan of unknown meaning came from his mouth.

After washing up, I found Zhou Yutang sitting on the sofa in the living room, having a video conference with Bob.

When Zhou Yutang was working hard, Liu Yifei never disturbed her. She sat quietly and had breakfast, while browsing the film and television information.

"Exclusive news, the three little ones will star in Mr. He's movie "Gardenia Blossoms"!"

"The richest man in China invested in "The Ferryman", the King of Sunglasses served as the producer, and Zhang Jiajia directed it himself!"

She was actually not interested in these gossips. When Zhou Yutang finished the video, she sat directly on his lap like a lazy cat.

"Xiao Zhou, are you going to do road shows during the Spring Festival?"

"I have booked a week of promotion, and I will go to North America to participate in the Oscars after the Spring Festival."

Zhou Yutang put his arm around Liu Tianxian's slender waist.

It is said that Lao Mouzi does not rest during the Spring Festival at this age. As the leading actor, he certainly cannot give up.

There are only a few days left before the Spring Festival, and "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" will soon be tested by the market.

The cold temperament of this movie is actually a bit out of place with the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival.

Previously, Jiangdong's publicity and distribution department suggested adjusting the schedule, and Chen Xi, the boss of Dongwu Pictures, also suggested postponing the schedule to the summer vacation.

But after seeing that his competitors were "Wolf Totem", "The Storm Riders 2", "Zhong Kui's Demon Hunting", etc., Zhou Yutang finally decided to release the film during the Spring Festival.

In addition, the film's publicity funds were raised to 100 million.

After the premiere, a preview was also arranged.

What is needed is matrix marketing and word-of-mouth fermentation to completely detonate the entire Spring Festival.

…………

There are really many melons at the end of the year.

First, Wanda's Wang Xiaocong broke up with young model Zhang Yuxi.

Then.

During the Berlin Film Festival that just ended, something strange happened again.

Wang Piku painstakingly prepared a romantic offensive to propose to Zhang Ziyi.

The first half of the idol drama was filmed smoothly, but the second half was disrupted by Zhang Ziyi's brother and sister-in-law.

"Does her brother still lead Zhang Ziyi's agent team?"

"He hasn't led it for a long time."

Ni Ni pursed her lips and smiled softly.

She had heard Zhou Yutang complain about celebrities letting their relatives do the brokerage business.

Liu Tianxian's rise and fall in those years was the result of Aunt Liu's operation.

International Zhang is not much better.

Her brother was in charge of the brokerage business, which led his sister into the pit.

In fact, at the beginning of the millennium, Zhang Ziyi's fame and status were definitely the best among the four major actresses.

She followed Zhang Yimou to win the award in Berlin, and then became very successful in Hollywood. At that time, Teacher Fan and Sister Lianhua were all stinky sisters in front of her.

But later, she was too popular and blocked the way for too many people. In addition, the brokerage team led by Zhang Ziyi's brother continued to operate in a shady way, and her reputation was completely ruined. She became the bottom of the four major actresses.

If it weren't for the movie "The Legend of Gong Er" by Sunglasses King to bring her back, I'm afraid she would be dead by now.

This time, International Zhang was humiliated again, and she also posted a short essay on Weibo, which seemed to vent her dissatisfaction with her brother.

But Wang Banbi is not an ordinary person after all.

He managed to win the heart of the beauty with a 9-carat luxury diamond ring despite the pressure.

Zhang Ziyi shared the fireworks of the party on Weibo, and was deeply moved. She said that it was Wang Banbi who gave her a complete life.

The audience was only concerned about the two people. In a corner that no one noticed, the awards of the Berlin International Film Festival were announced.

Iranian director Jafar Panahi's "Taxi" won the Golden Bear Award for Best Film, and the best actor and actress were Tom Courtenay and Charlotte Rampling from the British film "45 Years".

Chilean film "The Priest Club" won the Jury Prize. Jiang Wen, the only Chinese-language film to go to Berlin, ended up with nothing and returned home in defeat.

Jiang Wen was still able to hold on in China, but he was broken by the weird media abroad.

—— He must have known that this was an unsuccessful project.

It's just that before going to Berlin, there may not be no expectations.

In the final analysis, the feeling of not being recognized is not pleasant.

Zhou Yutang sent a message to comfort the brother. When he looked up, he suddenly saw that the atmosphere of the Spring Festival in Beijing was getting stronger. He turned sideways and asked Ni Ni:

"Do you want to give you a holiday during the Spring Festival this year?"

"No need."

Ni Ni said calmly: "I'm used to being busy. I don't know what to do at home when I'm free."

"Don't you go home to meet friends?"

"Forget it. They are also busy visiting relatives during the Spring Festival."

Ni Ni smiled and said: "My parents came to Beijing to accompany me this year. After the roadshow, they will go to North America on the third day of the New Year. Some things need to be prepared in advance."

Your ideological awareness is so high, so I have to make you suffer.

No matter what, Zhou Yutang is very satisfied with his secretary.

Everything is arranged in an orderly manner.

Of course, he did not treat her badly, and he would definitely compensate her in other ways.

At least, it is rare for a girl of Ni Ni's age to buy a house and a car in Beijing by herself.

Wang Banbi is really not destined to be on the headlines.

He and Zhang Ziyi had such a scene, which made the country lively for a while, but the hot search soon faded and was suppressed by several other heavy news.

The first to bear the brunt was naturally the shocking premiere of "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils", which was reported everywhere.

Then, Kunling, who had just become the wife of a superstar, was also exposed to black material.

It was said that she debuted in "I Love the Underworld" in her early years, and once made a unit of "Beauty's Private Life Raid" to cooperate with the program.

The program team suddenly entered her home and looked at the daily life of the young model from the perspective of the audience.

It turned out that Kunling's clothes were messy, wine bottles were all over the floor, and the refrigerator was also complained to have a strange smell...

This was probably a plot arranged for the effect of the program, but another thing, it did have a great response.

It is said that the wife of the king of pop once wrote a love letter to Luo Xiaozhu. Zhou Yutang saw Zhang Ruojun in the group tagged Li Jian:

"Luo Xiaozhu really plays so much?"

Li Jian: "-_-||"

He is a regular guest of Go Fighting.

He formed a men's gang with Sun Honglei, Huang Bo, Huang Sanshi, Luo Xiaozhu, and Wang Xun.

In terms of traffic, it is comparable to the popular Running Man team in the domestic entertainment industry.

Li Jian is Zhou Yutang's man, and those people also take good care of him privately.

But this young man has good character and did not talk about him behind his back.

Zhou Yutang knew the inside story.

The electric motor of Taiwan Province is not in vain.

After all, Taiwan Province is so small.

Luo Xiaozhu and Milk Tea Zhou must have known each other, and they were even friends. Later, it seems that because of the relationship with the Taiwanese queen Jolin Tsai, the two gradually drifted apart.

But they are also superficial brothers who can talk to each other when they meet. Luo Xiaozhu was also present at the last Taiwan Provincial Ball Game.

However, because he and Jay Chou have conflicting development positions in the entertainment industry, they are essentially rivals.

Their fans often quarrel online.

Jay Chou just got married, and Zhou Yutang didn't want to embarrass him, so he called Luo Xiaozhu.

Luo Xiaozhu understood and patted his chest to complain:

"Wow, Yutang, if you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have known about it. Those media are so outrageous. I will post a Weibo to clarify it immediately..."

The Grand Commander still has a lot of face.

Luo Xiaozhu's team quickly edited the copy and solemnly stated:

He and Milk Tea Zhou are good friends.

As for the love letter, it was a program effect specially created by the unscrupulous program group for ratings...

In short.

Kunling is a good girl, and he wishes them a happy wedding.

"The ancient costume martial arts film "Embroidered Spring Blade II: Shura Battlefield", produced by Dongwu Films and directed by Lu Yang, starring Huang Xiaoming, Liu Shishi, Xin Zhilei, Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin and others, started shooting in the ancient city of Taierzhuang!"

"Liu Shishi is the producer again, and the secret training photos are exposed. The heroine is heroic and beautiful to a new level!"

After the preparation of "Embroidered Spring Blade 2", the rest of the main actors of the crew have already arrived and went to the exclusive training ground in Shandong Province in advance.

Under the guidance of professional martial arts teachers, a lot of martial arts training and preparation are carried out.

The film started shooting at the end of January, and Huang Xiaoming, who was rushing to finish filming "Why Sheng Xiaomo", also joined the crew quickly.

For celebrity artists, staying in the crew during the New Year is also commonplace.

Zhou Yutang has read the report submitted by "Producer Liu".

Usually Liu Shishi plays with Chen Xi privately, and has made a lot of progress, and is quite decent.

Thanks to the success of the first film, the production cost of the second sequel reached 80 million. After the location survey, the main filming location of the film was placed in Shandong Province.

Lu Yang played a bit big this time.

That is, the suspension bridge scene in the script, the entire suspension bridge was set up in real scenes, weighing more than 9 tons.

Before the filming started, more than 500,000 yuan had been burned in the early stage, and more than 200 people would be used in the later stage. It is also a rare big scene in domestic films.

Zhou Yutang also has a few scenes, but it has to wait until the transfer to Hengdian, which is probably after the New Year.

Everyone relies on their own abilities to compete in the Spring Festival period.

Even if he has friendships with Sister Lianhua, Jackie Chan, and Fatty Wang.

Zhou Yutang will not be soft-hearted and continue to increase the investment in publicity and promotion.

Those companies are also working hard to market.

Sister Lianhua and Chen Kun kissed each other directly at the film's press conference.

Fatty Wang was accompanied by a group of Hong Kong superstars, and by the way, he also brought Angela, the cute baby in "Where Are We Going, Dad", to promote.

There is also a talented woman in the Beijing circle who has been quietly doing promotion and marketing for several months. "There is a Place Only We Know" has finally waited for the time to bear fruit.

But when the Beijing princess heard the assistant report the box office data, she was a little bit unbelievable: "No way!?"

The first day box office closed at 33.6 million, a standard data, slightly lower than the 35.8 million on the first day of "20 Again".

But considering the chance of a big hit during the Spring Festival, it is also an acceptable result.

But on the second day, reality poured a bucket of cold water on the Beijing princess.

The next day, "There is a Place Only We Know" closed at 23.46 million.

Hunger 14.27 million.

Boonie Bears 6.58 million.

The Hobbit 5.56 million.

The preview box office of "Wolf Totem" was 32.45 million.

And the preview box office of "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" reached 63.45 million.

"Mr. Xu, what should we do now?"

Xu's assistant also felt overwhelmed.

The box office of "There is a Place Only We Know" which has built up enough momentum was actually beaten by the box office of "Zhou Chu" in the preview.

Is this momentum really heading for a billion?

Or even, it may not be that far...

Xu Cainv was stunned for a moment, and repeatedly read the box office data submitted by her assistant to make sure that she was not wrong.

She felt mixed emotions.

Previously, the marketing was competing with "20 Again", but Xu Cainv had a bigger goal in mind.

This year's Valentine's Day is before the Spring Festival. If she can get ahead first, she may be able to imitate the original "Love Like a Bouquet" and create a box office miracle.

So she invested a lot of resources in this marketing.

Valentine's Day, romantic love, plus the hype of the top-tier Xiaosheng of Tea Egg, and before that, she also pulled Zhou Yutang to hype it up.

All the elements are complete and the traffic is full.

If she can seize the first-mover advantage, it may not be impossible to lead the Spring Festival festival. By then, she will be able to replace Xue Xiaolu and become the number one female director in the industry by stepping on the National Master and the Grand Governor.

At that time, it was the pinnacle of the princess's life.

Unfortunately, I woke up from the dream.

Zhou Yutang seemed to have fallen down before he exerted any force.

And looking at this momentum, he will definitely be pinned down, with no possibility of raising his head again.

Xu Cainv sighed and made a decisive decision, quite like a flower girl:

"Let's continue with the road show. No matter how much box office we can bring in, I will post on Weibo to support Yu Tang."

"Okay, Mr. Xu!"

"I don't know how a movie like "The Three Evils" passed the censorship standards. The relevant departments should send the film back for strict review!"

At this time, a certain expert who often gave advice on TV publicly criticized the country.

This sudden news made Mr. Huayi Xiao Wang a little confused. He turned around and asked the company's publicity department manager: "Did you do it?"

"Mr. Wang, we were the ones who voted for the black draft of Xiangjiang. Jiangdong is really not ours."

The publicity department manager was even more unjust than Dou E: "Who dares to mess with him?"

Everyone in the industry knows that sending a negative press release to an opponent is too low, and Zhou Yutang does it with disdain.

But Huayi was very experienced in doing this, but the manager of Huayi's publicity team was not a fool. He knew that the governor of Jiangdong could not tolerate sand in his eyes, so he did not dare to disturb Tai Sui.

There was once a well-known Xiangjiang producer whose schedule collided with Zhou Yutang's.

He spent a lot of money to get the tabloid media to publish a black press release, hoping to step on the governor of the same period and ascend to the throne.

Was found out by Zhou Yutang.

Then, there is no more.

His movie was canceled within a few days of its release, and he was like a stone tied to a stone and sank to the bottom of the Huangpu River. There is no more news in the industry.

"That is how the matter?"

Mr. Wang, who was holding a Cohiba cigar in his mouth, touched his chin and felt a little unsure.

Could it be that those people in Hong Kong want to cause trouble again?

…

"Zhou Sheng, I swear on my character, this is really not my fault. My team only sent out black drafts about Hua Yi and Zhong Kui..."

When Fatty Wang saw this news becoming a hot search topic, he immediately called Zhou Yutang to clarify.

Being tough at the premiere is an explanation to the investors and the crew. If the director is not confident in the movie he is making, how can he coax the audience into the cinema to buy movie tickets?

Fatty Wang even bought a house in the capital.

There are more places to live there than in Xiangjiang, so I definitely want a bowl of rice from the mainland.

This matter must be made clear, otherwise Zhou Yutang's revenge will definitely be more than he can bear.

In the office, Zhou Yutang dismissed Fatty Wang with a few words. Seeing the discussion on this matter intensifying, a subtle smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.

On the other hand, Li Shuang, who knew the situation next to him, wiped his sweat and said, "Yu Tang, if you really do this, aren't you afraid of being outed?"

First, we need to open up theater chains and build large-scale screening venues.

Generally speaking, if a movie does this, it will most likely end up being disabled.

This is because this is a bet on the reputation of the movie. If the quality of the movie is not good enough, the early reputation will be released, which will easily have a negative impact on the box office of the movie in subsequent releases.

This is not over yet, Zhou Yutang also gave the public relations department a task of "banned film marketing" to increase the popularity of the topic.

"Don't panic."

Zhou Yutang scrolled through the online comments and said calmly: "You see, netizens want to watch it even more."

The audience will always have a kind of rebellious psychology.

The less you are allowed to see something, the more you want to see it.

"I'll listen to you."

The tacit understanding cultivated through years of cooperation told Li Shuang not to have too many ideas of his own.

"Sister Shuang, how is the discussion between SHOWBOX and CJ going?"

"It's done, it will be released simultaneously when the time comes."

"Snapped!"

Zhou Yutang snapped his fingers, put his legs on the coffee table, and said in a leisurely manner: "There are a lot of cults over there, maybe there will be surprises at the box office."

Arrange for movies to be released simultaneously abroad.

For the Chinese film industry, it is a privilege that only top directors can enjoy.

On a larger scale, movies are also cultural exports and can expand their influence.

To be realistic, just ask for more money.

It's just that most Chinese movies don't have this condition.

Because stars who are all-powerful at home have almost negligible box office appeal abroad.

The theater chains are just willing to give a few shows a try.

If the performance is not good, just bury it directly, and there will be no room for trial and error at all.

Many major domestic directors have also tried to simultaneously release their films abroad, but the final results were not satisfactory.

What the great directors couldn't do, Zhou Yutang did it.

In the past few years, domestic entertainment has been on the rise.

The Korean Wave is raging across Asia, but he almost single-handedly blocked the impact of the Korean Wave and bucked the trend to open up the entire Asian market.

In the South Korean entertainment industry, it has the endorsement of the Samsung chaebol, and has in-depth cooperation with several TV stations and even the two major theater giants, CJ and Show Box.

With his extremely high popularity, the South Korean film market is basically his exclusive territory.

It can be said that you get what you want.
