Entertainment: I really want to make progress

As a Jianghu drama, fighting scenes are undoubtedly the top priority.

In the first season of Snow.

The sword of the old sword god Li Chungang opens the Tianmen, Wang Xianzhi, who is sitting in the East China Sea Emperor Wu City, fights Jian Jiuhuang alone, and Xuanyuan Jingcheng who invites the ancestors to die.

Although these immortal figures did not take many actions, they showed the demeanor of peerless masters. They opened the gate of heaven with their swords, either causing the water in the East China Sea to stand up, or causing strange phenomena in the heaven and earth.

All have very amazing battles.

It still belongs to the category of martial arts, but the power is a little beyond the standard, almost like a fairy, and it must be achieved with the help of special effects.

Zhou Yutang had a dream, in which the TV series "In the Snow" was filmed.

It’s hard to imagine that most of the martial arts scenes are in slow motion + standing in place and fighting against waves...

In his version, of course, nothing like this would happen.

Just like Ding Xiaoying went through two months of martial arts training before joining the group.

Just like Xie Junhao, Xiong Ba, etc. have made sufficient preparations, Jiaqian Jushi is no exception.

In the first season, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually had little room for performance and had more drama.

Because in the early stage, he set up a playboy character for the Liyang Dynasty. It was not until the plot developed and he took on Dahuangting that he started to cheat all the way.

In the final battle between Han Diao Si and Zhao Kai, who was sniped at Tiemenguan, Yuan Tingshan came on Gu Jiantang's order, but he was basically in a state of inactivity without any effort.

The main combat force is Xu Fengnian's sister and brother, as well as Beiliang's elite cavalry.

After discussing with Wang Yun and the screenwriting team, Zhou Yutang made certain adaptations for the TV series version.

Throughout the dynasties, the game of power has always been a game of power.

There is an irreconcilable conflict between the Liyang Dynasty and Northern Liang.

After the founding of the Liyang Kingdom, Xu Xiao, the king of Northern Liang with great military exploits, became a thorn in the side of the court, and the general Gu Jiantang was also hampered.

Everyone has their own attitude and considerations.

Xu Fengnian wanted to investigate the Bai Yi case and avenge his mother, while Gu Jiantang wanted to break away from the barriers of the capital, enter the sea, and then take over the military power, so he sent Yuan Tingshan to play a trick of Infernal Affairs.

The big scene of killing Han Diao Si in this drama ties together the stories of the first season.

At the same time, it also leads to the plot lines of Shenwu City and Beimang in the second season.

Han Diao Temple is very strong, but facing a stupid layout, there is no reason to argue.

Tsk tsk tsk! ! !

This decisive battle scene was filmed for two days. Xu Fengnian paid a heavy price and finally killed Han Diao Si with the flying sword method taught by Deng Tai'a.

The flying sword passed through the body, passing through the human cat Han Diao Si who was fighting fiercely, and finally fell down with a ferocious expression.

The flying sword attack was naturally a post-production special effect. After Du Ziming cleaned up the blood bags on his body, he came to the monitor behind the camera to see the shooting effect.

Directors Li Muge and Bao Dexi, as well as the two special effects team leaders from Vision Media, gathered around Zhou Yutang to communicate and discuss.

"Congratulations to Mr. Du on finishing the film."

Another veteran actor has completed his filming, and the crew prepared a closing banquet that night.

As soon as Han Diao Si died, Zhao Kai also went offline, and the big fight scenes in the first season of Snow were almost over.

However, actor Chen Xiao, who plays the guest role of the ambitious illegitimate prince Zhao Kai, joined the cast late, so he had to wait a little longer on the set.

…

"The box office revenue of "Spring Knife 2" was 983 million, easily surpassing one billion; "Cold War 2" grossed 834 million, firmly ranking second on the summer list!"

"Starring Jackie Chan and Mr. Fan, the action comedy movie "Fugitive" has grossed 785 million at the box office in 10 days after its release. It is unstoppable!"

""Big Fish and Begonia" has a total box office revenue of 577 million, overseas copyrights have been sold, and another masterpiece of domestic animation has come to a perfect end!"

"The filming schedule of "Lu Yao Zhi Ma Li" was suppressed. The total box office revenue was 192 million, but unfortunately it stopped at the 200 million threshold. The director appeared in the bar and yelled at the staff. He was suspected of being in a bad mood!"

"..."

July has just passed, perhaps because it has been suppressed by imported blockbusters for too long. The Internet is full of film and television information taking stock of the performance of domestic films in the summer season.

There was a small meeting with the crew today. After the crew of Lin Yufen's "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" next door was disbanded, she herself came over.

As for the director of the TV drama department, Jiang Xuezhen, he was naturally not absent.

"Isn't that Mr. Su? Why is he here?"

Meng Ziyi was slightly stunned when he saw Lidya Su getting out of the Mercedes-Benz.

She and Li Yitong are wild sisters. The latter is the star of SMG's Shangshi Pictures, so they naturally know the former head of Shangshi.

I skillfully found Li Yitong's WeChat account, noted that his name was "Yitong", and sent a message: "Baby, I saw Mr. Su from Lemon Pictures on the set."

"Mr. Su?"

Li Yitong also didn't understand the situation: "What are you doing there?"

"How did I know this?" Meng Ziyi made a fainting expression.

"Maybe I have something to do with Governor Zhou. By the way, when will the filming be completed in Xue Zhong?"

"Maybe another month."

"Another month? I still want to travel with you in August."

"What do you think, but Mr. Zhou's role is about to end, I will wait until September at the latest... Phuket, Thailand seems to be good..."

Many times, supporting roles like Meng Ziyi are not filmed every day.

According to the production schedule of the crew, sometimes there are late-night scenes, and sometimes her scenes are not scheduled until one or two days apart. This is a very common thing.

The entire snow crew has to work with Zhou Yutang's schedule.

He is undoubtedly the most special one.

Meng Ziyi was chatting with Li Yitong, while the head of Lemon Pictures had already found Zhou Yutang.

"Congratulations, Mr. Zhou, the box office is a big hit."

Su Xiao had a calm and elite temperament from the system, with a gentle smile, and sincerely congratulated.

They shook hands and hugged each other, and Xu Xiaoou, the strong woman of Lemon Pictures who came with Su Xiao, also exchanged a few words.

This year, Lemon Pictures' "Mr. Good" was a hit, and today they didn't come here to say auspicious words, but to connect with new projects.

"Has the post-production of "Little Farewell" been completed?"

Zhou Yutang said slowly.

This year, "Mr. Good" was a big hit, and Lemon Pictures followed up with another urban emotional family drama "Little Farewell" as a guarantee.

"Yeah."

The intellectual queen Xu Xiaoou smiled and said, "It will be broadcast next month. At that time, Mr. Zhou will give some advice."

"The Lonely and Great God" has been scheduled to be broadcast during the National Day, and all TV stations have made corresponding arrangements.

The release date was moved up, and the release date was postponed. No one dared to challenge it.

"What did Tencent say?"

Zhou Yutang nodded slightly and drank a sip of tea.

In addition to focusing on urban emotions and middle-class anxious families, Lemon Films is also preparing to launch a major costume project.

That is, the film and television adaptation of another work of Fat Mao, "Fighter of the Destiny".

Su Xiao continued, "I have already talked to Mr. Liu from Tencent. "Fighter of the Destiny" will be handed over to Lemon. I came here today to hear what Mr. Zhou thinks..."

"Mr. Su, I have another play later. You can contact Director Jiang directly for these matters."

Zhou Yutang smiled and passed the ball to Jiang Xuehuan.

Last year, they talked about it at the dinner party and decided that Lemon, Tencent, and Jiangdong would jointly produce the film.

But now there are still some details to be negotiated.

It's not that he was perfunctory to Su Xiao. Wu Yuze had already come to call people. He didn't dare to disturb him at this time, so he stood outside the door and watched eagerly.

Jiang Xueluan is the head of the TV drama business department of Jiangdong. With her ability, she can fully handle the situation on her own.

After several days of fighting scenes, it seems that too much energy has been consumed. Today, the crew is obviously a little lazy.

However, when it comes to rest time, everyone is very energetic when discussing gossip.

"A popular young actor who came from a talent show crashed into a bridge pier with a 7 million Lamborghini, and then left the luxury car and fled the scene..."

"A top young actor broke the news, sleeping with fans, choosing concubines... chat records, large-scale screenshots, and audio were exposed!"

"Do I need to dig this up? Aren't they the two in "Old Cannon"? "

There is no wall that is impenetrable, especially in this circle, there are no secrets.

Many messages are exchanged between producers and assistants, and they all know that it is the pair of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix.

Such a shocking news has caused the public relations teams of the two companies to be overwhelmed, and the domestic entertainment industry is in chaos, and a round of bloody storms has been set off.

"I heard that Keke really did it."

"She's been covering her mouth like crazy on major platforms these past two days. She must have spent a lot of money, right?"

"What company has such a strong background?"

"The agency is with Yaolai, and Jackie Chan is a shareholder."

At this moment, Zhou Yutang and Li Xuejian are acting together. Meng Ziyi and several girls from the crew are gathered together, eating melons to their heart's content.

After Su Xiao got in the car and left, Jiang Xuehuan reported to Zhou Yutang. He looked at the excitement and asked more questions.

Ni Ni explained it and couldn't help laughing when she thought about it: "Boss, I remember when you signed Lu Han, you said that something would happen to him sooner or later."

"Did I say that?"

Zhou Yutang really didn't remember.

"I'm sure and certain."

Ni Ni said firmly: "You said at the time that he would have to go into sewing machines sooner or later."

The entertainment industry is full of people pulling down others, especially the top stars who returned to China.

Among them, Keke was inevitably compared with Lu Han.

In fact, since his debut, Lu Han's popularity has been steadily suppressing him, until he returned to China to develop, the gap between the two has further widened.

Like a natural chasm.

With Xiao Lu's current performance, he is the leading actor in a 3 billion movie, and he can't even see his taillights.

Jiang Xuehui is not interested in this kind of gossip.

After the boss ate the melon, Jiang Xuehui reported that her conversation with Su Xiao was successful: "Lemon Pictures has negotiated with Zhou Shufang to use Lu Han and Nazha."

"Where is the director team?"

Zhou Yutang nodded.

The top resources are all connected with top-level stars.

Lu Han is the most popular star in the circle, and Nazha is also a first-line actress.

Both of them are on the star artist route, and their acting skills are completely enough to play this kind of costume drama. The key still depends on the level of the director team.

"Mr. Su and Mr. Chen have had a preliminary discussion and want to use Zhong Shujia's team."

"Zhong Shujia?"

Hearing this name, Zhou Yutang tapped the table with his finger, and the relevant information quickly emerged in his mind.

Zhong Shujia, a native of Hong Kong.

He started out as an editor and director, and directed more than 40 TV series at TVB, including "Cohabiting Trio", "Kara House", and "Laughing at the Wind and Cloud".

He produced "Hard-working Brothers" at the age of 30, and swept the entire TV drama circle in 1998, with unlimited glory.

He did not have any problems in moving from Hong Kong to the mainland.

The 2013 costume drama "Lanling King" was not as popular as the annual drama "Celebrating More Than Years", but it was also a hit costume drama that year, making Feng Shaofeng very popular.

Tang Yan's "The Female Thief" was also a huge hit.

This guy is a remnant of the late golden age of Hong Kong entertainment. It is rare for him to board the ship of the new era.

"How much is the offer?"

"The director's salary is 15 million."

"15 million?"

Zhou Yutang paused and laughed: "Tell Su Xiao to replace Li Muge."

It's not that Zhong Shujia's business ability is not good.

He has made several hits in a row. This person is still good.

But Governor Zhou doesn't like to use stars and directors from Hong Kong. The main reason is that the prices are too high.

When doing film and television projects, cost budget control is also a science.

Li Muge's ability is not worse than Zhong Shujia's, and the director's salary is only half of that of Hong Kong people.

The remaining money can be invested in special effects, costumes, props and scene layout.

Spending money on the right things will undoubtedly improve the quality of the whole drama.

He has been conscientiously following the governor for so many years, and the director contract was also signed in Jiangdong.

Now there is an opportunity to be independent.

Zhou Yutang must give priority to taking care of his own people.

…

"Lemon Film CEO Su Xiao personally visited the crew in the snow and chatted with the Grand Commander. The popular IP "Fighter of the Destiny" adapted from the novel of the same name by Mao Pang is about to start.

According to the annual list of films released by Lemon Film, "Fighter of the Destiny" is on it. It will be jointly produced by Lemon, Jiangdong, and Penguin Films. Currently, many first-line stars are competing for the leading role!"

Su Xiao was already low-key enough, but he was still caught by the entertainment reporters squatting in the bushes outside the crew.

That night, the topic of "Fighter of the Destiny" was directly airborne on the hot search, mainly because the popular first-line actors and actresses recently were fighting for this resource.

That night, Governor Zhou turned over the card and found Teacher Fan.

After the rain hit the banana leaves, they embraced each other tenderly.

Teacher Fan drew circles on the man's broad chest with her slender fingers and asked lazily: "I saw on the Internet that Lemon offered Li Yifeng 60 million?"

"What are you thinking?"

Zhou Yutang's fingers lingered on Teacher Fan's smooth and delicate back: "Lu Han only has 80 million, his team is just hyping it up."

It's not just Li Yifeng who just had a car accident and ran abroad to pretend to be dead.

Even Yang Yang, who is the most popular at the moment, is also trying to take a chance on "Fighter of the Destiny".

"That's all your fault. One hundred million has blocked the way for the younger generations."

"Can you blame me?"

Zhou Yutang gently patted Teacher Fan's hips, feeling very good: "How is your project going?"

"It's almost waiting for the official announcement... Little Steel Cannon also wants to go for the Oscar."

Pei Nanwei's role in the first season is just that one.

Thinking that he will wrap up in another week, Teacher Fan feels a little reluctant.

Compared to the little girls, they are more hesitant and lingering, wanting to speak but not speaking.

Mature women are more accustomed to expressing their emotions with practical actions.

She put her hair up and continued to talk about the project vaguely. Teacher Fan, with a seductive look, quickly turned over and sat up.

In the room.

The ceiling cast a dim and warm light.

The shadow of the soft and plump curves full of mature female charm was reflected on the wall...

...

Lemon Pictures acted quickly.

The next day, the official announcement of the starring lineup of Lu Han + Nazha in "Fighter of the Destiny" was made.

The purpose is very clear, and advertising investment will soon come to the bowl.

With the top popularity of Lu Han and Nazha, the cost of 400 million yuan for the entire drama can be recovered before the filming of this drama.

Now it has become a capital-shaped entertainment industry, it is so exaggerated.

Before the filming of Zhou Yutang's "Snow in the Snow", those TV stations with close relationships had to spend money to book it, and advertising investment had already sold out.

Mao Pang's "Celebrating Yu Nian" series made Jiangdong Entertainment earn a lot of money. His work "Fighter of the Destiny" is undoubtedly the top hot IP adapted from the male frequency.

What's more, the producer is still under the name of Jiangdong Entertainment, even if "Fighter of the Destiny" is only half as popular as the "Joy of Life" series.

For all brands, it is definitely not a loss.

The crazy influx of capital has had a strong impact on the entertainment industry, triggering a sharp increase in the pay of the entire industry.

But because of Zhou Yutang's existence, it is not too outrageous.

The salary quotation of Governor Zhou in recent years is 100 million.

At that time, I was on the top of the mountain and looked down on all the mountains. Until now, it is still the same.

When many film and television companies negotiate contracts with popular young actors, they habitually bring up Governor Zhou to lower the price.

"Even the salary of the governor is only 100 million. What level are you, and you can compare with him?"

"Your team offers this price to suppress Governor Zhou and become the number one brother in the domestic entertainment industry?"

It means something like this. No matter how popular the young actor is, he dare not make a rash move.

Because except Zhou Yutang, the salary of Jiangdong artists will not exceed that red line.

If you dare to open your mouth too high, then change someone.

If you can't afford the Grand Commander, then Lu Han and Li Jian are all first-tier stars.

The industry has formed an unwritten rule that the actor's salary is capped at 100 million, and no one has ever exceeded this red line.

For example, Lu Han's contract this time is 80 million.

And Nazha's salary is slightly lower, but her salary is also 68 million.

But in addition to this, there are other terms, such as ratings-linked rewards and derived profit sharing.

The actor's salary market was miraculously suppressed by the governor Zhou alone.

It was originally a secret joke in the circle, but there are always people who broke the news online, so someone made a picture of "one emperor, four kings, and three little ones" on the Internet.

The first emperor naturally refers to Zhou Yutang who sits alone on the throne.

It has been nearly ten years since the domestic entertainment industry debuted, and there has been no window of opportunity along the way.

In fact, there is not much marketing character design, it has already collapsed into ruins anyway.

However, the performance is indeed excellent, and he built the Jiangdong Entertainment Dynasty from scratch, with a net worth of hundreds of billions, ranking first in the entertainment industry.

As for the generation of young people born in the 1990s and 2000s, when it comes to the Governor of Jiangdong, it is nothing less than thunderous and universally recognized as a nationally popular figure.

Therefore, the media reports spontaneously, and there is never a shortage of traffic topics. One day there is a scandal with this female star, and the next day a certain project is launched. If there is a slight movement, the whole people will pay attention.

The Four Kings are Lu Han, Wu Yifan, Li Yifeng, and Yang Yang, and they are also frequently searched.

The three little ones are the three little ones of Tfboys.

The fans of these companies are very competitive.

Among them, Lu Han’s fans are the most popular. It’s no joke to set a Guinness World Record with likes and comments on Weibo...

However, most fans of the Lu Han family are grateful to Governor Zhou.

After all, he dragged him out of the fire pit and then flew him away with one hand.

So this time after Lemon Pictures officially announced "Choose Heaven", Lu Han's fans fell into a carnival, and many even went to Zhou Yutang's Weibo to refresh their screens.

It was at this time.

A piece of news about Lu Han reached Zhou Yutang's ears, and even he was surprised...
