Entertainment: I really want to make progress

Rustle.

The papers were flipping quickly.

Liu Yifei held her chin with both hands and watched Zhou Yutang flipping through the script.

It is said that men who work hard are the most attractive, and it is true.

Zhou Yutang was a little unserious when he was with her, but when he was really doing professional things, he had a natural charm that radiated from the inside out.

The dozen or so documents that were originally neatly arranged on the table were thrown aside by him at this time, and they were a little messy.

Soon, only the last one in Zhou Yutang's hand was left.

"Who Is GOD" was written on the cover. Zhou Yutang browsed the script at a glance, frowned imperceptibly, and suddenly showed a little smile.

At the bottom of each script, Liu Yifei wrote her own opinions and understandings. At the end of the last script, there was a line of small words from Miss Liu:

"The script is too large and too deeply involved in religion. It may involve censorship issues. I don't like it."

"If you don't like it, don't shoot it. Anyway, the script is not good."

Zhou Yutang rolled up the script, threw it into the trash can, and stretched his body.

The above scripts compiled by Miss Liu's team may have been sent to the trash can by many female stars in the circle.

The whole army was wiped out.

First-class projects will only be connected with first-class stars.

As a top actress in the circle, Liu Yifei's endorsements and announcements are all top-notch.

Of course, there are also some script invitations from other big directors.

Some projects in the circle were originally Liu Yifei's cakes, but she didn't like them, so they fell into the hands of others.

This is the case with Sister Lianhua, who was ridiculed by the crowd not long ago.

The same is true for Kim Ki-duk's "Godless" at the moment.

The Silver Bear for Best Director at the Berlin Film Festival, the Silver Lion for Best Director at the Venice Film Festival, the Golden Lion for Best Film...

With so many honors at the three major film festivals, Kim Ki-duk is considered to be the top director in South Korea.

He started out making low-budget art films, and his works are often filled with elements such as sex, violence, and death.

In addition, his reputation in the South Korean entertainment industry is not very good.

Originally, he was going to be the director of "Broken Tomb", but Zhou Yutang didn't like this guy very much, so he changed to Bong Joon-ho.

We agreed to talk about the script last night, but as we talked, we went to the fairyland together.

Miss Liu was also completely oblivious.

It was not until the next day that she remembered and talked to Zhou Yutang about her ideas.

……

Unexpected things happen.

In late July, Zhou Yutang received news of a disaster in his hometown.

"…This disaster has caused serious casualties, a large number of houses collapsed and damaged, and crops have been widely affected..."

The slightly solemn voice of the female host made Zhou Yutang feel heavy unconsciously.

He remembered that fortunately, there was a similar incident eight years ago.

This time, the impact seemed to be no weaker than that time.

"Dad?"

Zhou Yutang called Zhou Zhengping as soon as possible.

After confirming that his parents were in good condition, he then issued instructions to the Jiangdong Charity Foundation.

There is absolutely no reason to sit back and watch when my hometown encounters this.

The entertainment industry is very active this time.

Liu Yifei is in the crew and donated one million in the name of Red Star Wu.

Including Zeng Li, Li Xin, Liu Shishi, Nazha, Teacher Fan, etc., all donated money.

On this day, the play with the eldest sister Xu Zhihu was not smooth, and Zhou Yutang was not in a good state.

I adjusted a little and took a look at the news on the Internet.

Soon, there were reports that made statistics on this. Most first-line actors and stars, such as Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Ziyi, Xu Jinglei, and Hu Ge, were very tacit and generous.

Some donated 500,000 yuan, while others donated 100,000 or 200,000 yuan.

Social media spoke out in unison.

"You also donated 100,000 yuan?"

Zhou Yutang saw Meng Ziyi's name and asked casually.

"Yeah."

Meng Ziyi nodded, but was a little embarrassed: "My ability is limited. It's just a little bit of my intention. I hope I can get better soon."

"Sister Meng is generous."

Zhou Yutang said suddenly.

"No..."

This stunned Meng Ziyi.

After a few seconds, she reacted, waved her hands repeatedly, and protested in a delicate voice: "Boss, how old am I, don't call me old."

"Okay, Sister Meng."

With his eyesight, he has seen all kinds of demons and monsters. Meng Ziyi obviously doesn't seem to be pretending.

"..."

Seeing that she dared not speak out and rolled her eyes in anger, Zhou Yutang felt much better.

Before the broadcast of "Ode to Joy", Meng Ziyi was basically a nobody and had no announcements.

It was only in the past two months that she digested the popularity of the hit drama and received a lot of business announcements.

It was equivalent to just making money.

And she signed a seven-year contract with the company.

Being an artist is different from being an employee. You don't get paid on time every month.

As far as Jiangdong Entertainment is concerned, it is settled on a quarterly basis.

The next settlement should be in September.

In other words.

This Northeast girl donated 100,000 yuan out of her own pocket. It's really not a girl from an ordinary family. It shows her generosity.

Various disaster relief and fundraising activities are going on, which is very heartwarming.

People always have to look forward.

...

Good Dad Emblem has been a little depressed recently.

He brought his first directorial work "Lu Yao Zhi Mali" to participate in the summer season.

I was originally full of confidence and ambitious, thinking about entering the market to get a piece of the pie, but in the end I was taught how to behave.

Before the movie was released, I did some screenings for half a month and went to many road shows with a smiling face, which can be regarded as a wave of word-of-mouth for the movie.

However, the schedule after the movie was released was not satisfactory.

It was released in the middle of the month, with a box office of 33 million in the first day, and a box office of 106 million in the first week.

All data are above the standard, much higher than Wanda's "Quick Gunslinger", which only had a box office of just over 40 million in its first week.

The film schedule is only around 20, and Wanda is very stuck. Even the film schedule of "Xiu Chun Knife 2", which has been released for three weeks by Jiangdong, is still stable, and "Lu Yao Zhi Ma Li" has been blocked.

"Mr. Wang, what are you saying over there?"

Huaizhi also has a temper. After the road show for the day, he called Mr. Wang in the car.

"Wanda is causing trouble." Wang Zhonglei's tone was extremely gloomy.

"Why?"

"With more than 300 theaters in hand, there are nearly 3,000 screens!"

You could hear President Xiao Wang's voice gradually getting louder through the phone. Huaizhai opened his mouth and was speechless.

After hastily hanging up the phone, seeing her good husband depressed, Sister Dairy stepped forward and showed her caring concern: "The theater chain can do whatever they want, it's too much!"

Yes, the theater leaders can do whatever they want.

Wanda has made it clear that it is on the same front as Jiangdong and Guangguang and wants to step on Huayi.

After "Xiu Chun Dao 2" was released, Wanda's film schedule was full.

The premiere of Enlight's "Big Fish and Begonia" was held in Beijing CBD Wanda, with nearly 3,000 screenings scheduled on the day of the premiere.

However, Huayi's "Rock Tibetan Mastiff" had a compressed schedule and failed to improve in the follow-up. It was directly stepped into the mud and was not allowed to turn over.

When gods fight, mortals suffer.

At this time, Huaizhi only felt regret.

When we were working on the project "Lu Yao Knows Ma Li", we negotiated investment and distribution with Wanda when Ye Ning was working.

But in the end, he followed Ye Ning and joined Huayi. Didn't he join the national army in 1949?

At this stage, Wanda is really booming, and Jiangdong Cinema Line is ranked seventh in the country.

The portion of Huayi is not enough.

Not even the tenderness of Sister Dairy can soothe the sorrow in the good husband's heart.

The air pressure in the car was low. He saw an article on this year's summer movie review. He sighed inwardly when he saw that Zhou Yutang was no longer in the film industry but was firmly in the top two.

He is four years older than Zhou Yutang, and he debuted and became famous at almost the same stage.

Zhou Yutang's "Want to See You" became a hit, and he also rose to prominence with "Struggle".

The media at that time always compared him with Zhou Yutang.

Over time, even he himself believed it, and he thought about it a little bit in his heart.

Zhou Yutang became a director and soared in the entertainment industry, and Huaizhi felt that I could do it.

It wasn't until he directed his first movie that he discovered that this was not the case at all.

Movies are not just art.

Beyond art, there are many more influences.

He couldn't play it at all.

Only Governor Zhou can open up the entire industry chain from top to bottom.

…

"Mr. Liu, if a family doesn't talk to each other, they must cooperate fully."

"When the premiere of "The Murderer" is held, please take care of me..."

"You mean in the snow? It will take some time to finish..."

Zhou Yutang watched the entire summer movie schedule war from behind the scenes.

"Xiu Chun Dao 2", which was released for more than 20 days, has a total box office of 959 million.

Under normal circumstances, a movie's prime box office potential is only about the first three weeks.

But as long as the producers are tough enough, there are plenty of ways.

"Xiu Chun Dao 2", a martial arts film promoted by Jiangdong through all channels, continues the investment lineup of the first film.

In addition to Jiangdong Entertainment, there are several producers behind it, including China Film, Guangguang, Shanghai Film and Television, and Wanda.

In the second week of the movie's release, all the postponement keys reported, including "Chilling 2", have been approved.

According to the current box office trend, it is only a matter of time before "Xiu Chun Knife 2" breaks one billion.

"Cold War 2" is a bit lacking in stamina. It currently dominates the local market in Hong Kong, with a revenue of 756 million in the mainland, and the single-day box office dropped to just over 10 million.

"Yu Tang, has Pei Kang called you?"

"Let's fight, why didn't we fight? He wanted to celebrate at home in Beijing. Dong Ren was still saying last night that there must be another game in Shanghai. It's a double talk."

"Then you can't make it?"

"Sister Shuang, if you can do more work, I won't go..."

While chatting with Li Shuang, Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed.

China Film and Film Corporation are about to go public soon.

The two sides are secretly competing.

They all want to take advantage of the momentum of this domestic martial arts movie with a box office of 1 billion to organize a celebration party in advance.

Pei Kang kindly invited Zhou Yutang to ring the bell together, and Ren Zhonglun tried several times and even used a beauty trick.

Tang Yan is also a native of Magic City. Due to her relationship with Governor Zhou, she was naturally attracted to the core of the Shanghai Circle.

On the surface, the two families are in harmony, but privately they are fighting. Zhou Yutang does not want to get involved, and now he has the confidence not to be coerced into taking sides.

I chatted with Li Shuang for a while about the premiere of "The Chaser" and the subsequent publicity plan.

Next up is this reality-themed crime movie directed by Cao Baoping.

The promotion is going on in an orderly manner, and the new Golden Goblet Award-winning actor Liu Huohua has to take leave from the crew of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" again.

Zhang Yi, who had just finished filming "Blade of the Assassin 2", will also join the team led by director Cao Baoping.

He will participate in the promotion of "The Murderer" next door with Reyiza, Wang Jianhui, Tan Zhuo and others.

However, the publicity resources invested in this movie cannot be compared with "Blade of the Assassin 2".

Martial arts movies at least have feelings to hype, and Zhou Dudu and Liu Shishi are the top CPs, so there will be no lack of topics, and they can continue to market and push up the popularity and convert it into movie box office.

Cao Baoping's black absurd comedy adapted from real events should not be too ostentatious.

Why?

Because the original script by screenwriter Zhang Tianhui wrote the darkness of the local six doors very explicitly.

Even after dozens of revisions, it successfully passed the review.

If you savor it carefully, you can still feel some unspeakable tastes...

...

"The new drama "White Night Chase" of Jiangdong Misty Theater has started filming smoothly. Pan Yueming will play two roles. Song Qian has joined the group of Bai Ye since the completion of "Ancient Love Song". She is a beautiful policewoman and heroic!"

"The crew of the ancient costume fairy drama "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" directed by Lin Yufen has completed filming. The stills have been leaked again. Yang Mi and Bai Qian's styling is beautiful!"

In late July, the smoke of the summer season dissipated.

The TV series "Three Lives Three Worlds" was completed after the film version, and the drama version released the first wave of behind-the-scenes stills in advance.

Da Mi Mi's Bai Qian's fox styling has been well received and praised by fans as the most beautiful fox demon.

Zhou Yutang, who has justice in his heart, spent a lot of effort to subdue this fox demon in Yue Lanting Community.

Afterwards, Da Mimi snuggled in his arms, clinging to him tightly, enjoying the air conditioning, feeling satisfied, even her voice was charmingly lazy:

"That vixen is not professional at all, and she asked for leave to do publicity again, which slowed down the progress of Xuezhong."

In the huge domestic entertainment industry, the only one who can be called a vixen by Da Mimi is Teacher Fan.

The two of them did a scene last month, which she still remembers.

From time to time, she would bring it up and say a few words.

At present, Teacher Fan and Jackie Chan are working on "Skiptrace".

It was released on the 21st, and in the first four days, the box office took in 398 million yuan.

At this time, "The Blade of the Assassin 2" has entered its fourth week, and "Cold War 2" has almost started to decline.

Teacher Fan and Jackie Chan defeated the lack of stamina of the Ninja Turtles and topped the weekly box office again.

The limelight was extremely strong, and the press releases were everywhere.

Da Mimi felt a little sour.

Teacher Fan's "Beijing Meets Seattle" in the May Day period has just ended, and the popularity has continued.

Liu Shishi over there has also won the title of the queen of fighting scenes. Yang Mi hugged Zhou Yutang's shoulders and started to act coquettishly: "What projects does Jiang Dong have recently?"

"Commercial secrets."

"I want to ask if there are any projects that we can cooperate on, preferably ones that can highlight acting skills."

"Highlight...acting skills!?"

Zhou Yutang's expression twitched and he choked.

Could it be that he was influenced by the aura of progress that he brought with him?

It seems that everyone around him wants to improve.

After thinking about it, Jiang Dong is currently working on two major projects, "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Ghost Blowing Light 2".

"Chasing the Dragon" and "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City", of which Huo Wenxi is the chief producer, are both martial arts dramas.

Nazha's "The Meg" has just finished filming, but the sequel to "Fifty Shades of Grey" will start work in the next two days.

Could it be that Big Mimi parachuted into the group and dedicated herself to art?

Just think about it, there is no such reason.

Zhou Yutang is selfish, and very selfish.

He wants both Bai Yueguang and Zhusha Mole, and Da Mimi is not ready to let go, anyway, she is quite happy about it.

A beauty is like honey, so charming, probably the perfect lover in the ideal of men.

Da Mimi has no resistance to sexy underwear, props, and even role-playing.

However, there is really no suitable project at hand at the moment. Zhou Yutang saw Da Mimi's thoughts: "Do you want to rush for awards?"

"Of course."

Yang Mi's eyes were shining: "Do you have any suggestions?"

Among the same generation, female stars of various families are often compared.

Compare popularity, performance, awards...

Liu Tianxian has a Golden Horse Award for Best Actress in her hand, which is enough to look down on the 85-year-olds.

Liu Shishi is even more powerful. She passed the Magnolia and Golden Eagle Awards, and won another Golden Image Award for Best Actress this year.

The fact that the two Lius can have such a transcendent status today is inseparable from Zhou Yutang's support behind the scenes.

There are posts online that have done analysis, including Zhou Yutang's good sister Zeng Li, Gao Yuanyuan, etc., all of whom have won many awards, and praised Zhou Dudu as a golden touch.

It is very uncomfortable if others have it but you don't.

Da Mimi has become the top 85-flower. Putting aside the Golden Broom Best Actress, she can only win the Hundred Flowers Best Supporting Actress Award led by Zhou Yutang.

According to the award contempt chain, the Hundred Flowers Award is at the bottom of the gold content, and it is really not worth mentioning.

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Of course it's the truth."

"I hope not... very much."

Zhou Yutang turned his eyes away from the trembling pomelo and said truthfully: "Did you go to Shanxia School once this year?"

"I'm busy."

Da Mimi started to act like a spoiled child again.

"The betting contract is almost done."

Zhou Yutang sighed in his heart: "If you want to improve your acting skills, you have to settle down."

I still remember that Da Mimi was known for her aura when she debuted.

At least his acting talent is among the best among his peers.

It's a pity that this potential was not fully realized later.

Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei, who became popular, were arranged by Zhou Yutang to act in dramas, and their acting skills have improved a lot.

Da Mimi herself took on acting jobs crazily to make money.

Usually, as soon as one play was finished, she would seamlessly join another play.

If a role could be played to 60 points, it would be fine, and the director would not say much.

Over time, Da Mimi naturally formed a set of acting mechanisms.

Now it is not easy to turn things around?

It is not difficult for Zhou Yutang to operate awards.

But if he wins awards through unconvincing performances, he would disdain it.

The beauties around him won awards several times, and their acting skills were very good, so they did some behind-the-scenes work.

After all, the audience is not stupid. If they cannot convince everyone, the effect will be counterproductive.

"I want to win an award, it must be based on my strength."

Seeing Da Mimi's serious face, Zhou Yutang was a little overwhelmed.

After thinking about it, he decided to put her back in the school at the foot of the mountain for retraining.

Liu Tianchi, a professor at the Central Academy of Drama, even brought out Lu Han, who changed his career halfway.

After "Mr. Good", Zhang Songwen has not taken any roles for the time being and is taking a break.

A few days ago, Xiao Zhang was excited and cute, and posted a photo of Zhang Songwen teaching at Shanxia School.

Zhou Yutang is not sure whether Mr. Songwen, who has brought out three hell copies of Tianxian, Yijie, and Tian Gongzhu, can bring Da Mimi back to the right path...

But he thinks that he can trust the wisdom of several teachers at Shanxia School...

...
