Entertainment: I really want to make progress

Zhou Yutang stayed in North America for one more day.

Old Bob couldn't resist the hospitality and attended the celebration party of "50 Shades of Grey".

By the way, I shared the details of "The Conjuring 2" with James Wan.

He is indeed overflowing with talent in the field of horror films.

Just waiting for the crew to finish preparations, they will soon leave for filming in the UK.

For James Wan, shooting such a horror film is as simple as eating and drinking.

According to the schedule, the filming date is 40 days, and then the post-production period must be released first.

Because James Wan has to devote himself to the promotion work of "Fast and Furious 7\

,""Zhou, I'm looking forward to our meeting in China."

Wen Ziren and Zhou Yutang hugged each other familiarly.

Universal attaches great importance to the Chinese film market, and the first stop of its global promotional tour in Asia is China.

By then, James Wan, Vin Die Sel, Dwayne Johnson, and Michelle Rodriguez will all be there, and Zhu Yilong, who starred in the movie, will naturally be there too.

"welcome."

Zhou Yutang chuckled softly: "James, you will definitely have a different understanding of China by then."

James Wan's identity is somewhat complicated.

Both parents are Chinese, but they were born in Malaysia. When he was 7 years old, he immigrated to Tu'ao with his family and obtained Tu'ao nationality.

However, as far as he is concerned.

I am very interested in the culture of the Chinese Dynasty, otherwise I would not have chosen to major in a major related to the Chinese Dynasty when I was in college.

The Oscars have come to an end.

Domestic media were eager to report on it, and the audience was also talking about it.

The beauties and friends around Zhou Yutang naturally felt sorry for him and sent him comforting messages.

Some people in the circle were probably relieved to see that he didn't win the award, and secretly gloated about his misfortune.

But this time Zhou Yutang is not the protagonist, and more people's eyes are still focused on Huang Shengyi.

Putting aside everything else, Mr. Yang's saucy operation really sucked up the traffic for Huang Shengyi.

After some rhetoric and high-sounding words, he was rushed to the hospital in an emergency, which was as pitiable as it was possible.

It’s just that nowadays with the development of the Internet, how can there be any secrets?

Very quickly, some netizens with extraordinary abilities replayed the details frame by frame and uncovered the whole matter.

"The case has been solved. There is something wrong with this invitation letter. It says that it was in 2014 and the Oscars officially announced the guest list. There is no Huang Shengyi's name at all!"

"The habit of embarrassing others has happened again."

"With this look in her eyes and this painful bitch, who dares to say that her acting skills are poor? This year's Oscar should go to Huang Shengyi."

"Lao Mouzi was shocked: This is the old actor."

"When I was in elementary school, I didn't do my homework and didn't want to go to class. This was how I pretended to be sick."

"..."

Netizens were so excited to eat the melon.

When I was talking on the phone with Liu Tianxian last night, I heard her ask more questions out of curiosity.

Zhou Yutang couldn't quite understand Young Master Yang's brain circuit.

I just wanted to have fun, but I received some inside information.

It is said that Huang Shengyi came here to cause trouble in order to promote "The Big Bomb".

This movie is what Mr. Yang calls a huge Sino-US co-production project.

"Why is he here?"

“Mr. Shi is an investor in ‘The Big Bang’.”

It was at this time that another key figure involved in the matter surfaced.

This person is Boss Shi, the CEO of Kuailu Investment, a giant on the pig-killing list, and one of the big guys in the Shanghai circle.

He is one of the driving forces behind the Sino-US co-production blockbuster "The Big Bang". He and Yang Gongzi jointly established Huo Entertainment, which is a partner with deeply tied interests.

Behind this matter, there is the shadow of this person.

Zhou Yutang has deep connections in Shanghai circles and has met this person once at a dinner party.

I just heard that this person was playing on the Internet financial platform, so I immediately stayed away from him.

We are not all on the same path, so there is nothing much to say.

It can only be said that this guy is a bit brave, and he is not pure in doing film and television projects.

Huang Shengyi fainted on the red carpet, which made netizens see the limit of the hype and made him a laughing stock in the industry.

Zhou Yutang appeared at the "50 Shades of Grey" celebration party and was praised by the stars.

The media who have been paying attention to him have carefully analyzed that several of the producers of this film have the shadow of the Grand Governor.

Immediately, explosive news broke.

The Grand Governor actually wanted to keep a low profile, but his strength didn’t allow it!

I was jet-lagged on the plane, and when I saw the message from Liu Shishi, it was about this matter, Zhou Yutang almost couldn't stop.

Zhou Yutang invested in cyan movies?

Soon, the news became that "50 Shades of Grey" was filmed by Zhou Yutang.

Later, he changed his words: Shocked! The governor went to the sea to make a cyan film, which caused a sensation all over the world.

What does it mean that three people become a tiger?

That's it.

Zhou Yutang rested on the journey, and Ni Ni did public relations work for him.

In fact, with his reputation now collapsed into rubble, it cannot be said to be a collapsed house in any case, but a polite clarification is still necessary.

This movie is just a film and television project invested by Zhou Yutang in North America.

It's a commercial operation, and the rest is none of the Governor's business.

As for more other information, it was not disclosed, and he still continued his low-key style of making a fortune in silence.

"I was so scared that I almost thought the governor had really gone to sea to make a movie."

"Isn't that what you want?"

"I'm in Hong Kong and I just watched this movie. It was really exciting and exciting."

"Let me go, why is the global box office so high? How much money does Zhou Yutang make?"

The movie was not released in the mainland, but there are also many Chinese people in Bay Province, Hong Kong, and abroad.

This part of the audience is in luck.

"The box office in South Korea is not very good."

A temporary stop was added to the South Korean promotion plan. After Zhou Yutang broke out of the siege of Kimchi Girl at the airport, he took a look at the local box office of "50 Shades of Grey" in South Korea.

In the same situation as neon, it can be said that it has hit a brick wall.

It's not even as influential as "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" here.

Zhou Yutang is super popular, and the movie touches on the most serious problem of co-teaching in South Korea.

Since its release, it has been in the top ten hot searches on South Korea's Naver search for several days.

CJ and Showbox are responsible for distribution in South Korea, so they naturally spare no effort in promoting it. Zhou Yutang promoted "Running Man" and other South Korean variety show invitations.

I only participated in one promotion stop in Jiangnan District.

"Ahhhhh! So handsome!"

"It is said that when a handsome idol stands next to him, he will be made to look like a handsome man. It is not an exaggeration at all."

"Axi, it would be great if Zhou Yutang was from South Korea."

Zhou Yutang on the stage is as tall and straight as a jade tree, with deep eyes and aloof temperament.

The pickled girl in the audience was shouting hoarsely, venting her enthusiasm to her heart's content.

Fortunately, the South Korean police had made a security plan in advance and sent extra manpower to maintain order at the scene.

It is estimated that the local police officers are also sweating. Zhou Yutang may not come to South Korea to participate in an event a year.

This time, it exploded like this.

"Wow, Dafa, senior's popularity is really terrifying."

"If only we were half, one-tenth as popular as this."

Even the girls from Missa, who were invited to cooperate with the lively atmosphere at the scene, were speechless.

They looked at Zhou Yutang on the stage, and they looked at their idol the same way the fans did, with admiration in their eyes.

When we met backstage at the end of the event, several girls bowed at 90 degrees again, taking the etiquette to the extreme.

"Hello, senior, we are miss A!"

"Hello you all."

After receiving the albums respectfully handed over by several girls, Zhou Yutang was somewhat impressed by miss A, which has a little girlish sexiness and Girl Crush style.

In fact, it cannot be said to be a first-line girl group. Compared with Tara and A Pink, there are many gaps.

Recently, Yoona is still filming on the set, and Tara is going to have a concert in Neon. Originally, the entertainment company recommended people and decided on another group to warm up Zhou Yutang.

It was Zhou Yutang who chose miss A.

He heard Song Qian mention Meng Jia and Wang Feifei, who were also members of the migrant workers group. They were pretty nice people, so they chatted a little more when they met.

"In the future, if you have the opportunity, you can consider returning to China to develop more. Domestic variety shows are in great need of talents like you."

There was no exchange of words, but Zhou Yutang's slightly caring words, which made people feel heartwarming and like a spring breeze.

"Mr. Zhou, thank you."

Meng Jia and Cao Lu were flattered and grateful, and they hurriedly thanked them.

The only popular member of the group is Bae Suzy. Their popularity is not high and they are in a very difficult situation.

Especially when the company is preparing to promote the next generation of new girl groups, it seems to be struggling more and more.

The girl group is like this. It looks glamorous on the surface, but in fact the competition is extremely cruel.

The golden period only lasts a few years, and there are many young and beautiful girls waiting to take over.

"You're welcome, come on."

Zhou Yutang smiled gently and didn't care.

We are all from China, and when we meet a fellow countryman in a foreign country, we can lend him a helping hand, which is just a matter of words.

But what may change is their fate.

"Are you Suzy?"

"ah?"

The girl with a harmless white face was slightly stunned when her name was called. She opened her mouth slightly, revealing her cute rabbit teeth, and said obediently:

"Yes, senior, I am Bae Xiuzhi."

After all, he had received professional etiquette training and quickly regained his composure, greeting me with a polite smile.

"The performance of "Introduction to Architecture" is good. Please continue to work hard in the future."

"Thank you, senior."

…

After the promotional event ended, Zhou Yutang didn't even have time to go back to the branch to visit. On the same day, the special forces flew straight to Shanghai to join the large team of domestic film roadshows.

For Lao Mouzi, a sixty-year-old man to perform such an intense road show, I feel a little bit embarrassed.

On the plane, I picked up Mr. Han’s call and talked about the South Korean box office: “According to estimates, if the number of visitors exceeds 10 million, there should be no problem.”

"The subject matter is limited. It will probably be difficult to go further."

"Haha, this box office is good, but the mainstream in the next few years will still be genre films that combine commercial films with main themes."

What Mr. Han said was all inside information.

Although he has stepped down from his position, he still holds the title of senior consultant of China Film and Television, and the foundation he has laid through so many years of network management is also there.

Last year's Gold Award for Operation Screenwriting was considered a second spring.

"Goodbye, Mr. Han."

Zhou Yutang nodded thoughtfully.

South Korea's box office miracle "Myeongryang Battle" directly exceeded 17.6 million moviegoers.

Bangzi is such a big place, and the size of the film market has reached its peak. It may not be able to break this record within the next 10 years.

The same theme + commercial blockbuster, if the script content is good and the timing is right, the box office ceiling will be higher in the Chinese film market.

After talking with Han Sanping, I handed the phone to Ni Ni, and soon I saw her handing over the phone.

"What's up?"

"Boss, Bae Suzy added you as a WeChat friend."

"Approve it."

Zhou Yutang took the phone and clicked the verification pass.

The cute rabbit avatar belongs to Bae Suzy.

Meng Jia and Wang Feifei both added his personal WeChat. Maybe Bae Suzy got the contact information from her teammates.

Having his contact information is also a manifestation of a network of contacts.

In some variety shows, it can even be used as a hot spot for the show.

Lee Ji-eun once called him on a variety show, and it was on the South Korean hot search at the time.

Responding to Bae Suzy's polite greetings casually, Zhou Yutang had a good impression of the girl with a first love face.

"Architecture Basics" killed two birds with one stone at that time. The domestic version made Da Tiantian soar, and the South Korean version of the movie helped Bae Suzy become popular overnight.

This is also a kind of interest exchange.

After that, Zhou Yutang threw Wang Jiaer and Fan Chengcheng to JYP. The gorillas treated them wholeheartedly and were closer to them than their own sons.

A creative singer like Wang Jiaer is naturally a promising talent.

Fan Chengcheng is the same gender as him.

As for the others, it's a pity.

He doesn't have the appearance advantage of his sister at all. He sings and dances sloppily, but he is optimistic and cheerful.

The key is that Teacher Fan paves the way for his younger brother, and he will definitely have a place in the future domestic entertainment.

The box office trend of "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" has created the peak of Lao Mouzi's directorial career.

It's only the seventh day of the Chinese New Year, and the first week's box office plus the total box office of the preview have cut a crazy 1.018 billion.

Leading the Spring Festival file.

Following behind was Wang Pangzi's "The Storm Riders 2", which earned 505 million yuan, surpassing "The Blade".

The single-day box office rose against the trend, exceeding 70 million, which also surprised all the production companies in the industry.

"The Blade", which was previously highly expected to snipe "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils", only closed at 503 million yuan.

The single-day box office has dropped by 40 million, and it is indistinguishable from "Wolf Totem".

As for Lianhua Jie's "Zhong Kui Conquers the Demons", it only earned 297 million yuan and is still working towards the 300 million mark. Its potential is obviously exhausted.

"This movie is a type I have never tried before, but I didn't expect it to be an unexpected success..."

Zhang Yimou, a 60-year-old man who has returned to the peak, can be said to be in great glory these days.

Zhou Yutang is in North America, and as the director Lao Mouzi, he naturally became the focus of media competition.

However, the national teacher is very worldly-wise. When facing the media interview, he said everything without leaking a single word:

"Thanks to the audience's love, I think it is not just my credit to achieve this result. All the actors, including the crew behind the scenes, have contributed a lot to this movie, especially Yu Tang."

"His script and the wonderful performance he dedicated to the audience are the core of this play. I already have an idea about the new play..."

Faced with such a beast that is crazy about making money in the Chinese film market, who in the film and television companies in the industry would not be jealous?

But when I think of the news about Zhou Yutang from Hollywood, I feel a little numb.

He is calling the shots in Hollywood, harvesting movie tickets around the world while chatting and laughing.

Just came out of a movie theater.

Fans followed him enthusiastically all the way.

Zhou Yutang waved from time to time and chatted with two of the pretty female fans, making the girls so happy that they almost fainted on the spot.

At this time, I received a call from Wang Changtian, "Yu Tang, congratulations on the box office success of "Zhou Chu". Are you still on the road show?"

The tone of Wang Changtian from Guangguang was full of envy.

This movie was a big hit in the preview, and the effect was strong after that. It was like drinking water to break 1 billion. It is obvious that there is still potential to hit higher box office in the future.

"Zhong Kui Conquers the Demons" invested by Guangguang is miserable.

The total investment is nearly 200 million yuan. Although Guangguang is not the only one to pay for it, there are several other producers.

But according to the current reputation and box office trend, it is difficult to achieve a box office of 600 million. It can basically be sentenced to death.

"It just ended. I have to rush to the next show."

The car window slowly rose. Zhou Yutang said goodbye to the fans with an impeccable smile and asked slowly:

"Mr. Wang, what's the matter?"

"Yutang, has the share of "Detective Chinatown" been decided?"

"Mr. Wang, this play doesn't require much investment. Jiangdong can make it by itself."

The car started. Zhou Yutang took a sip of the water handed over by Ni Ni and said, "Let's work together again when we have a chance in the future."

Hearing this, Wang Changtian, although helpless, said no more and turned to congratulate "Zhou Chu" on the box office success.

After chatting for a few words, he hung up the phone.

Zhou Yutang sank into the comfortable leather seat and began to listen to Ni Ni's report on the attendance rate and real-time box office in various places.

Before, he had just started, so he had to give up some of his interests in exchange for various resources.

Now Jiangdong Entertainment has developed into an entertainment leader, opening up all channels from top to bottom.

Jiangdong's film and television projects have the possibility of releasing shares only if they are not ranked first in the internal evaluation, or if the investment is too large and the financial pressure needs to be shared.

Comedy and suspense films with low costs, such as "Detective Chinatown", are basically operated exclusively.

The painstaking layout has created the "Crime Universe". This year's "Now You See Me 2" and the upcoming "Chinatown" series are about to bear fruit.

This year's Asian Film Awards have already sent invitations, and in the just-announced shortlist, "Red Ling" once again competes with "Fireworks in the Day" and "Massage."

Zhou Yutang was doing a road show in Star City. He saw the news and called Zhou Xun by the way: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Mr. Zhou cursed in his own unique voice: "The paparazzi here in America really went too far, so they rode a motorcycle and followed closely behind."

Zhou Yutang had just returned from China, and Master Zhou had gone to North America.

It was said that he and Gao Shengyuan were on a honeymoon trip, but they were spotted by the paparazzi, and a fast and furious performance was performed on the spot.

These domestic paparazzi tend to be more restrained and follow the rules.

But the old American is different, what they play is real.

Every time Zhou Yutang went there, he would put a lot of thought into security. Mr. Zhou thought that he was not well-known in America, so he didn't make any preparations in advance, so he suffered a loss.

"By the way, I went to see Qian Xiahai's "50 Shades of Grey" and it was a good film."

"How about you play the heroine in the sequel?"

"If you play the leading role, I can do it!"

Young Master Zhou, who wanted to tease Zhou Yutang but was teased instead, took the risk.

"Sauri, you know, I'm not interested in married women."

"The most brutal Spring Festival in history, "The Three Evils" has been in theaters for two weeks, and its total box office has exceeded 1.429 billion, continuing to lead the pack!"

"The total box office of "The Storm 2" was 727 million, ranking second on the Spring Festival list."

"The total box office of "Heroes" exceeded 600 million, but the box office dropped by 15 million that day. Does Jackie Chan still have box office appeal?"

""Wolf Totem" is making steady progress. The box office has exceeded 580 million, and the single-day box office still grossed nearly 20 million,"

After entering March, all the heroes came together during the Spring Festival, and all parties started fighting.

The box office of "Army of Heaven" was completely suppressed by "The Storm 2".

This movie by Jackie Chan tells the story of the Protectorate's efforts to protect and unite all ethnic groups on the Silk Road in the Han Dynasty.

Although there are many shortcomings, because it fits in with the One Belt and One Road, it is quite supported by the official media and even appeared in the official news. This is a treatment that "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" did not enjoy.

However, if a movie wants to be a big hit, support alone is obviously not enough. The quality of the movie must also keep up.

After all, the copyright of "Army of Heaven" was sold for a high price, but the total box office of "Zhong Kui Conquers the Demons" only exceeded 358 million, but the single-day box office has already dropped by 7 million. Compared with the investment cost of 200 million, the outcome of blood loss is foreseeable.

Someone is worried.

Naturally, some people are happy.

As far as "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" is concerned, no matter from any angle, this is an impeccable full score.

The media shouted the slogan of sprinting for two billion, and Pei Kang had already started organizing a celebration party and popping champagne.

The road show work was finally over, and when Zhou Yutang returned to the capital, his parents also had their own things to do.

The Queen Mother's clothing company is doing very well, and she has to go back to prepare for the new year and the season.

Comrade Lao Zhou also has a lot of things to do. He retired from his position in the school last year. Now, apart from fishing, he focuses more on the operation of the Jiangdong Charity Fund.

He needs to oversee the preparations for the establishment of Jiangdong Youth Football Training School. It is estimated that he will have to travel back and forth between Northern Xinjiang and Guangxi Province this year.

Zhou Yutang contacted Tian Ming and planned to strengthen security for his parents. He himself was not lonely either.

Back in the capital, Liu Shishi is still filming on the set of "Xiu Chun Knife 2", and Liu Tianxian also has a schedule out of town.

It just so happened that there was a lady from Beijing.

Nazha's carefully arranged little world welcomed an uninvited guest, and the door was closed for more than an hour.

After the in-depth exchange just now, Yang Mi felt very fulfilled.

Seeing Zhou Yutang doing his own thing, he stretched his legs naughtily and rubbed Zhou Yutang's trouser legs.

Zhou Yutang was not polite, grabbed one of Damimi's little feet, put it in his hand to play with, and looked through the documents.

Jiang Xuezhen was not idle and quickly got into work after the New Year.

The crew of "Qing Yu Nian 3" has basically completed the preparations. They are just waiting to find a master to pick a good date and start shooting in March. "Is there any announcement today?"

"I have a trip in the afternoon."

Yang Mi's eyes were watery, extremely moist.

While the two were flirting, Zhou Yutang received a call and said that Dong Xiaopeng was here.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

There was a knock on the door.

Yang Mi quickly got up and went into the bathroom to straighten her skirt. Zhou Yutang sank into the large leather sofa and looked up:

"Enter."

"Mr. Zhou, happy New Year."

Dong Xiaopeng, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, poked his head in.

When he saw Zhou Yutang, he walked forward quickly with a smile on his face.
