Entertainment: I really want to make progress

"The TV series "The Journey of Flower", produced by Jiangdong Entertainment and adapted from the popular online novel of the same name, has officially finished filming. The finishing photos of the main actors Zhu Yilong, Zhao Liying and others were exposed today."

"The final season of "Celebrating Yu Nian" is in hot preparation and is expected to start at the end of the month. Advance reservations are open to enjoy the gift of chasing dramas!"

The news of Jiangdong Entertainment has always been on the entertainment headlines of major portals.

"Brother Feng, it's just finished filming, and you are talking about the premiere of "The Journey of Flower". Isn't it a bit early?"

The night before the news of the completion was released, Zhou Yutang was sweating in the gym when he received a call from Zhou Ningfeng, the director of Jiangsu Provincial TV Station. He was a little amused.

"It's not too early, let's talk about it first. Jiangdong's production is guaranteed."

Zhou Ningfeng's voice was domineering: "Jiangdong has three dramas this year, and Jiangsu Provincial TV Station must take at least two of them. No matter how much money it costs."

Last year, Zhou Ningfeng was very uncomfortable because of his low profile.

This year, he decisively started with a big move.

Everyone is making fun of the bulk of Jiangsu Province. This is a big economic province. Last year, its GDP ranked second in the country.

Jiangsu TV has several ace variety shows. After the New Year, it held a hard advertising bidding meeting to attract money crazily. It can be said that it is lucrative.

Even among the first-tier TV stations in the country, it is the one with the strongest financial resources.

Just as Zhou Ningfeng said.

Zhou Yutang's Jiangdong Entertainment is a hit drama maker.

The bottom line is that it may be a big hit, and the upper limit is a phenomenal hit.

All the S-level dramas produced by Jiangdong Entertainment have never been bad so far, and it doesn't matter if you spend money in advance.

This is a bit like the most glorious time of the Hong Kong circle in the 1980s and 1990s.

Those Hong Kong film leaders can make investors willing to pay money just by showing the movie cast to Taiwanese businessmen.

Zhou Yutang did not make a clear promise.

But given the relationship between the two, some words should be stopped at the right time, and everything is self-evident.

…………

“Four weeks after the release of “Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils”, the total domestic box office has reached 1.937 billion, and it is currently ranked third in the total box office of Chinese-language films!”

The Spring Festival period has drained the vitality of the entire Chinese film market, making the Chinese film market the world's top.

But after entering March, this grand occasion was ultimately not continued.

Mainly because of the successive releases of imported blockbusters such as Nicole Kidman's “Paddington Bear”, Warner Bros.' sci-fi film “Jupiter Ascending”, and Disney's “Cinderella”, which have had a certain impact on the Chinese film market.

In an unnoticed corner, South Korean director Lee Jae-yong quietly plunged into the East China Sea with Song Hye-kyo and Kang Dong-won's “Thump, Thump, My Life”.

Zhou Yutang flipped through the box office reports compiled by Ni Ni.

The Spring Festival period has gradually come to an end. The total box office of “The Great Wall” was 707 million, and the total box office of “The Storm Riders 2” reached 975 million.

Despite the terrible reputation, it is undoubtedly a success for such a comedy movie.

Wang Pangzi is only one step away from joining the 1 billion box office club in China.

The producers who have tasted the sweetness have already promoted "The Storm Riders 3" to fight again in this year's Spring Festival to continue to bring joy to everyone.

However, the low-key "Wolf Totem" finally closed at 701 million.

The above movies, plus Sister Lianhua's "Zhong Kui Fu Mo", have greatly diverted the box office of the entire period.

"Zhou Chu" is indeed not going to kill.

However, the song "New Creation" is still on the major music charts, and even Mr. Jin Shijie, who plays the Venerable, has become popular.

The scene of Chen Guilin holding a gun and killing people in the church was made into an emoticon package by netizens, and it was widely circulated in the social media and circle of friends of countless viewers.

It was at this time.

Li Shuang took the initiative to call: "Yu Tang, do you want to apply for an extension key, or think of another way to see if you can raise it to 2 billion."

"Forget it, Sister Shuang."

Zhou Yu Tang shook her head and chuckled: "Box office records are just numbers. Zhang Yimou also thinks it doesn't mean much. Let's see how "The Devil Wears Prada 2" and "Detective Chinatown" perform this year."

Judging from the performance of the Spring Festival, the current movie box office depth is definitely more than 2 billion.

With the solid foundation laid by "The Devil Wears Prada Crime Universe", the sequel is definitely worth looking forward to.

"Okay."

Li Shuang was also very straightforward: "You are the boss, you have the final say."

La Peikang booked a celebration banquet early in the morning, and called to confirm, and mentioned this year's Golden Rooster Awards by the way.

"Boss La, is it too early to talk about this now?"

"'Chi Ling' has been submitted, so it will definitely win an award."

La Peikang was in the limelight at the seminar for "Zhou Chu", and he was obviously in a good mood. He also joked: "You are such a big star now, I have to make an appointment with you in advance."

"We'll see when the time comes, I may not be able to attend."

Zhou Yutang thought about his schedule.

Before joining the crew, he will go to Haojiang immediately, and there will be a recording of the variety show "Longing for Life".

There will be at least one movie and one TV series in the second half of this year.

The celebration banquet for "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" was held as scheduled.

In terms of face, La Peikang is definitely better than Han Sanping.

The total box office revenue in Taiwan and Hong Kong is 83 million.

The number of viewers in South Korea has successfully exceeded 10 million, and the scattered box office revenue in surrounding areas such as the island country is about 500 million.

The box office revenue in Asia has exceeded 2.5 billion!

Such a result is amazing.

Several state-owned film groups and industry leaders in entertainment have received invitations.

There were a lot of guests at the dinner party. Except for Mr. Jin Shijie who was still on the crew of "Xiu Chun Knife 2", Lao Mouzi and the other leading actors were all present.

Lao Wang of the light came early and targeted Zhou Yutang as soon as he arrived, with a very eager attitude.

"Mr. Wang, you always trouble Sister Xiaoping."

Zhou Yutang gave Lao Wang reassurance: "We can still cooperate when there are big projects."

Not being able to get on board "Detective Chinatown", Wang Changtian probably felt that everyone's feelings were a bit weak.

Recently, he sent his confidant Li Xiaoping to Jiangdong Entertainment several times.

"Yu Tang, we have worked together for so long, we can be considered a family."

This was what Guangguang Laowang was waiting for, and he immediately raised his glass and said: "If you have a big project, bring Guangguang with you. It doesn't matter how much it costs."

"There is a chance."

Zhou Yutang raised his wine glass and clinked it with Wang Changtian.

In order to "improve his life", he liquidated all Huayi shares and made over 100 million profits. Now he still holds shares in Guanghuang.

It is also because Mr. Wang of Guangguang is interested in his work. If there is a big project that needs to share financial risks, Guangguang will definitely be a good partner.

Wanda has advantages in theaters, and Enlight's own local distribution network and national media channels are also unique in the entertainment industry.

The crew and creators were all invited to the stage by the host.

Zhou Yutang asked Lao Mouzi to take the C position, and he and Pei Kang were on the left and right.

After smashing the ice sculpture with a box office figure of "1.939 billion", the applause and flashing lights on the field continued.

Below are the CEOs, directors, and producers of film and television companies.

The look he looked at Zhou Yutang was filled with envy.

It's just the beginning of the new year, so Wang Zang immediately started.

The investment in "Zhou Chu" is not large, but the profits are huge, which is simply more than the profits of several entertainment companies in a whole year.

Jiangdong has a few more movies ready to go next, but I don’t know what the situation will be like.

For Jiangdong Entertainment to be able to reach the scale it is today, Governor Jiangdong, as the helmsman, deserves the most credit.

After getting rid of the actresses and producers who wanted to get close to him, Zhou Yutang noticed Wang Baoyu in the crowd.

He was talking to Mrs. Ma next to him, showing his white teeth and a simple smile.

Mrs. Ma was holding the red wine glass and looking around. When she saw Zhou Yutang walking over, she pulled Bao's arm excitedly.

"Mr. Zhou, congratulations on the box office success. I went to the cinema to watch it twice. It was really enjoyable."

Wang Baoer grinned and took the initiative to introduce his wife.

"Haha, you did a good job in last year's "One Man's Martial Arts"."

Zhou Yutang smiled and patted Bao Yu's shoulder, and only nodded lightly to Mrs. Ma.

"It's a pity that the box office is not very good, so we may lose money."

Wang Baoyu scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

That movie had a box office of at least 300 million to recoup its cost, so it was considered a small loss that was not well-received.

"Don't be discouraged, keep trying."

Zhou Yutang consoled him: "I have a new play, probably in June or July. Do you have a schedule?"

"President Zhou wants to cast me in his new drama?"

Uncontrollable surprise suddenly appeared on Wang Bao's plain face, and he said in an excited tone, "I, I'm sure it's fine."

"Why don't you ask what kind of movie it is?"

"Yu Tang, if you can find me, you must think I'm suitable. I believe in your vision."

Wang Baocheng looked at Han, and he was not stupid, so he agreed without even thinking about it.

The two chatted about the schedule for a while and talked about the Running Man variety show.

After Wu Jing, Bao Yi will also quit Running Man, and this year the Running Man team will be updated.

In addition to the addition of Lu Han, the program team is also in contact with another heavyweight guest to fill the spot.

"I accepted a military-themed variety show, and I will be there for the entire show. I will start recording at the end of this month, and I won't be able to leave in the middle."

"A real man?"

"Hey, Yu Tang, how did you know?"

Wang Bao'er was stunned for a moment. Didn't we agree that this program should be kept secret?

"The show is good, record it well."

Zhou Yutang patted Bao Yu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The film needs to be prepared slowly. It will probably start shooting in the middle of the year. I will let you know the specific time when the time comes."

With his connections in the TV drama circle, the TV station has no secrets at all.

Now that we are gradually entering the Internet era, entertainment methods are diversified, and the ratings of TV stations are gradually declining.

All TV stations are in trouble. Mango Channel wants to restore its past glory. "Longing for Life" in cooperation with Mingjie Company is the key variety show.

But I didn’t put all my eggs in the same basket and made other preparations.

For example, this variety show that Bao Er participated in is a large-scale national defense education special program jointly launched by Mango TV, the Chinese military, and Bayi Film Studio.

In fact, the first one to play this style was the variety show "Real Men" of South Korea's MBC TV station. It was based on 24-hour real-life military experience and required celebrity guests to deeply experience the high-intensity training and simple life of the military.

Audiences like to watch celebrities being tortured, and this variety show has received good ratings since it was aired in South Korea.

"Didn't Wang Baolu get Zhou Yutang's project?"

"Fortune favors fools!"

Many people were staring at Zhou Yutang, seeing the two people chatting happily. Wang Baorong nodded frequently, even grinning almost to the back of his ears. Many people started to speculate.

There are many artists who are unspeakably envious and jealous.

Who in the entertainment industry doesn't know that as long as they can carry out Yu Tang's project, he will be able to lead the team to the Fairyland Bureau steadily.

"Bao Yu, what's going on?"

Wang Bao's agent came over and asked, "Zhou Yutang really has a project for you?"

"Is it that "Detective Chinatown"!?"

Behind the black-rimmed glasses, the agent with dark circles under his eyes was thinking rapidly, asking questions in rapid succession.

"Um."

Wang Baorong nodded: "I just heard from Yu Tang that this is a comedy and suspense movie, and it is expected to start shooting in June or July. How will my schedule be at that time?"

"At that time in the middle of the year, a movie has been signed."

"Then help me push it down and pay for the liquidated damages."

"."

Seeing Wang Bao's resolute attitude, the manager, who was already suffering from kidney failure, muttered, "I don't know what Zhou Yutang was thinking, but he pushed for such a good project as "The Great Wall" and asked Brother Chen Kai to pick it up."

"Don't meddle in things that shouldn't be your business!"

Wang Baorong said: "When people ask me to make movies, they think highly of me. This is an opportunity for me."

"Okay, okay, we're all family."

Sensing that the atmosphere seemed a bit tense, Mrs. Ma patted Wang Baohao's arm:

"You should stop saying a few words, Xiao Song, he is also sincerely interested in you."

"You want to use Bao?"

In the evening, Zhou Yutang returned to Zeng Li's house. The beauty in green leaned over to change the man's slippers and asked curiously.

She must know about Zhou Yutang's new project, and there are even many people who want to find connections and have their ideas directed to her.

"Only Bao Hao can play that role."

While Zhou Yutang was hugging the beauty in green and tenderly, his mind inexplicably thought of Mrs. Ma, who was all dressed up tonight, and the agent with dark circles under his eyes.

I sent a message to Ni Ni and asked her to do something.

The news of the celebration party for "Eliminating Three Pests in Zhou Chu" occupied the pages of major media.

Both the media and the audience gave full marks to this collaboration between Zhou Yutang and Lao Mouzi.

At the cusp of this storm, Lao Mouzi's literary planner Zhou Xiaofeng launched a new book: "Fate·Lonely Zhang Yimou".

This is her work based on the records of Zhang Yimou's real life, and she wants to show the audience a real Zhang Yimou.

After Zhou Yutang got it, he turned it over.

It is indeed Lao Mouzi's imperial literary plan.

I worked on several dramas with Guoshi in succession, and even the script of "Zhou Chu" was revised by Zhou Xiaofeng in the later stage.

The language is sharp, direct to the point, and the writing skills are quite profound.

The most explosive content among them is the ten deadly sins of biting Zhang Dapao, which was named and affirmed by Lao Mouzi's studio.

"Instigating the relationship between Lao Mouzi and Gong Li", "requiring Lao Mouzi to alienate Gao Cangjian", "arrears of the national teacher's salary".

"If you look at it this way, Zhang Dapao is really not a human being."

Zhou Yutang originally felt that he was quite dark.

But compared to Zhang Dapao, he is simply a saint.

In recent years, Zhang Dapao's New Picture Company has been struggling. This time, someone stepped on his head. He didn't come out to fire, but his assistant jumped out and started a fight.

Pang Liwei from Lao Mouzi Studio was not someone to be trifled with, and the two sides started a verbal spat online.

It was so lively for a while.

However, now that the Imperial Guard is backed by Jiangdong, Zhang Dapao's confidence is somewhat lacking, and Zhou Xiaofeng still has some powerful information that he has yet to release.

"It's nothing more than ts."

Faced with Ni Ni's question, Zhou Yutang calmly gave the answer and browsed the comments on the Internet for a while.

"Zhang Dapao, are you a human!?"

"Lao Mouzi has a heart-to-heart connection with you, and you are playing tricks with Lao Mouzi."

"I still owe Zhang Yimou so much money, please pay me back quickly."

"Thank you to Zhang Dapao for releasing Lao Mouzi. Now I'm working with Zhou Yutang to take off directly."

Netizens have gone all out and scolded Zhang Dapao.

The breakup with Xinxiang was not pleasant at the beginning. Although Zhou Yutang helped settle the matter of super-sheng, the cooperation between Lao Mouzi and Zhang Dapao has survived after so many years.

Some interest relationships cannot be explained clearly in just one or two sentences.

The two sides went to court, and there was another tug of war.

"I guess Zhang Dapao will be so depressed that he will vomit blood."

Ni Ni gloated: "However, this is the fate he deserves."

Women just hold grudges.

At that time, Zhang Dapao not only tricked Zhang Yimou, but also Ni Ni.

Now comes retribution.

Zhang Dapao has basically found no such person.

After the national master transferred to Jiangdong, "Hunting" plus "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" were enough to bring him back to the top, and the fame and fortune that followed were indispensable.

This is more than what Zhang Dapao earned in 20 years of working as a long-term worker.

Even Ni Ni, who used to be nothing in his eyes, now flies up the branches and becomes a phoenix.

Zhou Yutang's female secretary represents him in a sense, and naturally stands at the upper level of this circle.

From a giant in the entertainment industry to suddenly reduced to a street rat that everyone yells at, not everyone can bear this gap.

But Zhang Dapao has to thank Zhang Yuqi for suppressing the heat of this matter.

Zhuo Wei, a well-known paparazzi in the industry, released some shocking news.

Zhang Yuqi, who had just finished filming "Mermaid", was revealed to have checked into a hotel room with a mysterious man.

There are pictures, videos and the truth.

Dating for three consecutive days, holding hands in the street, skiing on vacation, the interaction was sweeter than falling in love.

At first, she said she wanted to face it frankly with her husband and share the responsibility. In fact, Zhang Yuqi separated from her husband at the beginning of last year, and she also filed for divorce.

Zhang Yuqi cheated on her husband this time, but netizens applauded and called it the biggest and most satisfying cheating in history.

Even she herself probably didn't expect that she would go viral in this way and dominate the hot search headlines one after another.

The most miserable person is the great director Wang Quanan, who was arrested for prostitution and has not been released yet. He was also expelled from Xiying and his reputation fell to the bottom.

China Film Group.

Zhou Yutang sat in the chairman's office for the first time in a long time.

While drinking tea, he talked with La Peikang about the recently completed "The Mermaid".

He held the schedule of China Film in his hand.

March is basically the stage of "Jupiter Ascending" and "Cinderella".

The former was released in early March, with 145 million in the first week and a cumulative box office of over 200 million.

The latter is even more powerful. The box office data given by China Film is expected to reach 450 million, killing the Chinese film market.

But Zhou Yutang's most attention is still the Universal super hot IP "Fast and Furious 7" scheduled for April 12.

James Wan is no ordinary person, and his talent is not limited to the field of horror films.

I wonder if the movie "Everything Grows" co-produced by Li Yu and Teacher Fan, a pair of good friends, can be stopped.

The films that are expected to hit the May Day schedule include "Left Ear", "Why Sheng Xiaomo", and the Hong Kong crime blockbuster "Equator".

Zhou Yutang glanced at it and quickly made a decision: "The Accidental Detective" will be released on May Day, and "The Monkey King: Hero is Back" and "The Tuner" will be double insurance in the summer schedule."

The money is in place, Tian Xiaopeng led the team to work overtime, and the progress of "The Monkey King: Hero is Back" is almost ready.

"There are several blockbusters to be released in early July."

La Peikang looked at the schedule for a long time and pushed his gold-rimmed glasses: "Yutang, "The Tuner" will be released in late June, and "The Monkey King: Hero is Back" will be released on July 10th. What do you think?"

"Mr. La has a good opinion."

Zhou Yutang only saw his expression and understood instantly.

Isn't Director Chen's "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" scheduled for early July?

Director Chen, who is in charge of "The Great Wall", must be protected by China Film.

There is also the miserable Wu Baige. La Peikang took the blame for Han Sanping. The second half of "The Crossing" is scheduled for the end of July.

Xu Ke was specially invited to help with the editing, but I don't know if he can save face.

However, the schedule of "The Tuner" is not bad. When "The Return of the Great Sage" is released, students are on summer vacation, and it is right after "Tiny Times 4".

It is also what Zhou Yutang wants to meet Xiao Si head-on.

"The Sun Also Rises" has to avoid July when there are many big movies. Guo Fan's "Now You See Me 2" is locked in the National Day schedule this year in advance.

The schedules of several movies are set first, and the atmosphere of the chat is more casual.

La Peikang raised his teacup and took a sip: "Yu Tang, your Tang Detective is scheduled for the Lunar New Year period. Is it in time?"

"A suspense comedy movie."

Zhou Yu Tang chuckled and said, "It's not a big scene, so it's not a big problem."

Chen Xi has already contacted the official of Tyrande.

The film will probably start shooting in June and will be finished in July at the latest.

Counting the time for post-production, it is definitely more than enough.

This year's Spring Festival period will naturally give way to Stephen Chow's "The Mermaid".

After finalizing the schedule, I went back to the company for a meeting and arranged the publicity work for several movies.

"The Tuner" is the first time that Liu Shishi has carried the box office alone as a leading actress.

Zhou Yu Tang's role as a producer is really not in vain, and he followed up the post-production of the movie throughout the whole process.

In his opinion, Liu Shishi showed the peak acting skills of her acting career.

The role of this heroine is rich in layers, and the movie is both commercial and artistic. It is completely possible to operate awards in the later stage.

These are all later stories. It's just that Yijie has suffered. She just finished filming "The Blade of the Assassin 2" and has to join a spy drama. It is estimated that she will have to take leave from the crew to participate in the movie roadshow.

Liu Tianwang called Zhou Yutang several times to invite him to attend the premiere of his new movie.

Zhou Yutang did not refuse.

He wanted to see the quality of this realistic movie that is said to be adapted from a true story.

It happened that Da Meiyuan did not have a schedule, so she made an appointment to attend the premiere of the movie together.

The movie "Lost and Love" has a great influence in the circle.

There were official media reports before, and various media reported one after another.

A man, whose child was abducted, ran 10 motorcycles and 500,000 kilometers to find his relatives in 24 years.

Later, when he found his relatives, public opinion exploded, causing a sensation, and it was really mixed.

The cast of this play is also luxurious.

King of pop Andy Lau, popular actor Jing Bo-ran of Huayi, veteran actor Leung Ka-fai, Thirteenth Sister of Hong Kong, and a potential newcomer Liu Ya-se.

Except for Thirteenth Sister who was a little embarrassed after the verbal battle, the other leading actors all had a good relationship with Zhou Yu-tang.

The director even studied at the Film Academy, and can be regarded as Zhou Yu-tang's senior sister.

"Yu-tang, "Zhou Chu Eliminates the Three Evils" has achieved a box office of more than 2.5 billion, which is really amazing."

"You still need to learn more from Brother Hua."

"I should learn from you." King of pop Andy Lau showed a handsome smile and gave Zhou Yu-tang a thumbs-up.

"Compared to Brother Hua starring in this movie for free, it's nothing."

Zhou Yu-tang continued to brag with him about business.

King of pop Andy Lau's salary offer was tens of millions, and he really gave it his all for this play.

After the interview with the main creators, the movie began to be shown.

The story is very touching, but whether it is the director's expression technique or the actors' performance, there are certain shortcomings.

The whole film lacked some quality.

Zhou Yutang was looking down at the entire film from a God’s perspective, thinking about how he would shoot the film if he was in charge of the project.

But just based on the sincere emotions, it was able to resonate with a considerable number of emotional audiences.

The famous literary beauty was moved, her eyes were red, and there seemed to be a moist feeling in her eyes.
