Entertainment: I really want to make progress

The last day of September.

The Golden Horse Awards organizing committee announced this year’s shortlist.

Films such as "Detective Chinatown" and "Xiu Chun Dao 2" produced by Jiangdong Entertainment received a total of 11 nominations.

However, Jiangdong Entertainment is not alone this year.

"Bon Voyage" and "July and Ansheng" also received seven nominations each, with Little Yellow Duck and Ma Si Chun both nominated for Best Actress.

Xiaogangpao's "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" and Du Qifeng's "The Big Tree Catches the Wind" followed closely, with five nominations each.

“It’s been nine years and I’m nominated for the Golden Horse again. It’s unexpected and pleasant.

Being nominated for the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress is the best gift for me..."

Mr. Fan was still watching the show in Paris and even posted on Weibo.

In 2007, she won the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actress for her film "The Ghost in My Heart", which she co-starred with Lai Ming.

Now it is making a comeback, but the momentum is not what it used to be.

…

The crew of "Operation Mekong" specially made a premiere in Yunnan Province.

Police officers from Dian Province were invited to watch the film and received rave reviews.

The relationship between the major theater chains has been well managed.

Not only Jiangdong's own artists, but also Hu Ge, Huang Xiaoming and his wife, etc., all paid for the performances to give back to their fans.

There are also many celebrities who are also helping to promote the event on social media platforms.

Publicity resources are fully available, and with the official coal platform, there has been overwhelming publicity since the beginning of the month.

Everything is ready, just waiting for release.

LeTV’s “Grand Trail” has also invested a lot in publicity and distribution.

"The first all-live-action CG fantasy movie in Asia, and the pinnacle of domestic live-action CG movies!"

Zhou Yutang almost lost his temper when he saw his opponent's promotional positioning.

No matter how the movie goes, Guo Xiaosi is really good at creating hype.

What is a live-action CG movie?

That is, the movie itself is dominated by live-action performances.

But all the visual products produced in the entire movie, including scenes, objects, special effects, etc., are all composed of computer-generated CG animations or pictures.

Guo Xiaosi and LeTV had been having a fuss for a while, and now they started working hand in hand to promote the movie.

In the early morning of the 30th, "Operation Mekong" officially appeared on the big screen.

After doing enough preparations, Zhou Yutang was very confident about the movie, but Li Dagou was a little nervous.

This project was initially led by Li Dagou. At that time, he almost died in the ICU. It was also Galloping Horse's most important project in several years.

At three o'clock in the morning, Brother Big Dog made a direct call and shook Zhou Yutang up, who was about to continue morning exercises with Da Meiyuan.

"Yu Tang, the box office has already reached 78 million..."

Big Dog Brother's excited voice could be heard through the phone. Da Meiyuan went to the bathroom to clean up the battlefield, and Zhou Yutang glanced at the cat's eyes.

"The film schedule is 46%, and the attendance rate is not bad... Let's take a look, the afternoon is the prime time."

Zhou Yutang paid attention to Deng Chao's "Passing Through Your World".

It grabbed the National Day slot in advance, and theaters gave it 40 rows of films yesterday, with a box office revenue of 78.3 million.

So far on the second day, it’s just over 30 million.

Although the genre is different, in terms of attendance, word-of-mouth and other data, they are not as good as "Operation Mekong".

As for Guo Xiaosi's "Grand Records", the price is just over 20 million.

Doomed to be unable to make waves.

…

"Ah ah, Zhang Ruonan, I love you!"

"Husband, you are so handsome!"

"Brother Long, Brother Long, look here!"

In the afternoon, Zhou Yutang took Zhang Ruonan, Zhu Yilong, and Gao Ye to Sina to sweep the building.

This is an itinerary planned in advance.

During the National Day, Mango Terrace Diamond Theater updates every day.

There were many fans at the event who had received the news in advance, including some Sina staff.

This drama excludes the main line CP of Zhou Yutang and Zhang Ruonan.

He and Zhu Yilong bickered, fell in love and killed each other on a daily basis, which also contributed to many famous scenes.

Brother Long and Takano are also official couples, and the duo is quite popular.

Zhou Yutang has long been accustomed to the screams and shouts like a mountain roar and a tsunami, and being under countless spears and cannons.

On the other hand, Zhang Ruonan, who had just gone from being a pink and tender newcomer, suddenly became popular.

It also requires a process of mentality change.

Zhou Shufang usually arranges experienced assistants to guide her, and she can handle various variety shows well.

Today was her first time sweeping a building with Zhou Yutang, and she saw the terrifying popularity of the Governor of Jiangdong.

Truly a superstar among stars.

A top-notch emperor with a well-deserved reputation.

Seeing that the smile on Zhang Ruonan's face was a little stiff, Zhou Yutang turned sideways and said warmly as he walked into the building:

"Are you nervous?"

"Well, a little bit."

"Just think that they are all idiots."

"I know."

Zhang Ruonan's voice was low and soft, and she felt inexplicably safe.

She followed Zhou Yutang step by step.

The light shining into the building from the floor-to-ceiling windows cast his tall shadow on the ground, which seemed to be just enough to cover her petite shadow.

For a moment, they overlapped, and Zhang Ruonan carefully opened some distance.

Try not to make them look intimate.

…

""Operation Mekong" grossed 175 million on the first day, and the main theme was well-received and the box office exploded, strongly leading the National Day schedule!"

""Passing Through Your World" followed closely, with revenue of 138 million in two days, firmly ranking second on the National Day list!"

"Jade Dynasty" only earned 39.4 million on the first day, which was a surprise. The first day box office was not as good as the Tiny Times series!"

The National Day battle finally kicked off, and all eyes in and out of the industry were focused on those movies.

For "Operation Mekong", the original data department expected it to exceed 100 million on the first day.

To have this result now has greatly exceeded expectations.

Brother Li Dagou was so excited that he even called Zhou Yutang several times.

The single-day revenue was nearly 200 million. This is the most explosive project that Xiaoma Pentium has ever done, no doubt about it.

"Brother Dagou, Sister Zhong said you didn't sleep for a day and a night?"

"How can I sleep?"

"Take care of yourself, this is just the beginning."

Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed: "Tomorrow is the National Day holiday, and there is hope that it will exceed 200 million in a single day."

"Hahaha, if we work together, we will be invincible!"

Li Dagou's eyes, which were about to squint, opened again and grinned.

Is this a brotherly alliance to sweep the National Day?

Hmm... why not?

...

On the night of the premiere of "Operation Mekong", the official media came out to promote it.

It just added fuel to the fire, making the fire burn even more vigorously.

Although the reviews of Guangguang's "Passing by Your World" were severely polarized, the box office revenue was real.

As the leading actor and one of the producers of the movie, Deng Chao was even more motivated, and took the main creators to travel around the country for roadshows.

"Passing by Your World" is of a different type from "Operation Mekong".

If you can't beat the big brother, you can still get the meat by stabilizing your base.

Speaking of LeTV, it is in a precarious situation.

Good news, "Jade Dynasty" has a base.

Bad news, the base is limited.

Zhang Zhao has been sitting in the office all night.

Reading the box office data report over and over again.

He doesn't understand.

In the current film industry, the audience doesn't even buy the package of super hot IP + top stars...

This makes him feel confused.

It seems to be a trend brought about by Zhou Yutang.

The current viewing habits of the audience pay more attention to the reputation of film and television works.

After all, they have eaten good ones and their tastes have been spoiled.

Thanks to the evil deeds of the "Tiny Times" series, Guo Xiaosi's fans have been eliminated. Now many people preconceivedly label the movie as a one-star bad movie when they hear that it is his movie.

Guo Xiaosi owes the national audience another movie ticket with "Jade Dynasty".

The start is not good, and the promotion work is also difficult to promote.

Teacher Fan is still watching a show in Paris and did not come to participate in the film promotion.

Yang Mi and several top stars in the film only gave the promotion schedule for these two days.

According to the current situation, "Jade Dynasty" was easily trampled under the feet of the main theme commercial blockbuster "Operation Mekong", and even "Passing by Your World" could not beat it.

It is only slightly better than "Ace of Kings" by Wang Jing next door, which was quietly released and secretly circled 22.86 million...

The total cost of production and promotion of "Jade Dynasty" is about 200 million.

In other words,

The box office needs to reach 600 million to cover the cost.

Zhang Zhao of LeTV took another look at the real-time data, took off his glasses, leaned back in his chair, and sighed.

…

During the National Day holiday, the crosstalk master and apprentice did not take a holiday.

They were still competing against each other at a high intensity.

The apprentice had been prepared for this and even took out the invoices from more than ten years ago.

It also made netizens full of gossip.

The main creators of "Home with Kids" just had a small gathering during the National Day, which made netizens sigh that their youth was wasted.

Liu Mei has been shining in variety shows in recent years and even took her son to the Mushroom House.

Xia Donghai transformed into a behind-the-scenes actor in film and television, and participated in several projects, which is also considered to be a little famous.

Xiaoxue and Liu Xing have also made progress.

Yang Zi reaped the benefits after the big hit of "Ode to Joy", and received a lot of business notices.

He will soon star in "Ode to Joy 2".

This project is still controlled by Noon Sunshine, and Jiangdong participated in the investment.

However, Kong Sheng is currently preparing for "Nirvana in Fire 2", and the director has been replaced by Jian Chuanzhi and Zhang Kaizhou, two of the Noon Sunshine's top stars.

As for Zhang Yi, he rose to fame in "Yu Zui" this year, but he is not as stable as his sister and has done a lot of outrageous things.

"Brother, he was so abstract when he was in school."

Nazha has had a lot of fashion shoots recently.

When chatting with Zhou Yutang every day, she mentioned Zhang Yi, and she was also speechless.

The latest chapter of this novel was first released on 6 @9 Book # Bar, please go to 69 Book Bar to read it!

She is a classmate of Yang Zi and Zhang Yi, and they have a good relationship.

But this monkey has been a little bit arrogant recently.

He had a party with friends in a bar, and I don't know if he drank too much horse urine, but he actually ran to the river to urinate.

He also kissed his male companion and attacked his second brother.

He was so angry that he was caught by the paparazzi.

When he was a nobody, no one paid attention to him.

But when he became famous and stood under the spotlight, everyone's eyes were on him.

Zhou Yutang asked his good sister: "Is "Fighter of the Destiny" about to start filming?"

"It seems that we have to wait until the middle of the month. I miss you, brother."

Nazha is always acting like a spoiled child.

"I miss you too."

"I definitely miss you more than you miss me."

"Then you win."

...

On October 1, "Operation Mekong" grossed 202 million yuan that day!

On October 2, it grossed another 197 million yuan!

The cumulative box office for the first three days of the weekend was 574 million yuan, sweeping the National Day file with overwhelming momentum.

Entertainment headlines on major portals, hot posts on forums, and hot searches on Weibo...

All of them are about the shocking case that made China famous abroad.

Taking advantage of the National Day, Huang Xiaoming posted the news of Qin Lan's pregnancy on his Weibo, which also sparked widespread discussion.

This couple can achieve a happy ending, and friends in the circle, including their fans, are all blessing them.

Zhou Yutang sent him congratulations, and the leader's first love Zhao Yanzi has also been in the limelight recently.

The box office data of "Youth 2" directed by him is very good. He went to Cannes again, and his second film "No Other Love" directed by him is also being promoted in a high-profile manner.

As an important shareholder of Alibaba Pictures, Zhao Yanzi attended the strategic cooperation press conference with Amblin Pictures together with Zhang Wei, a senior executive in charge of international business.

"We want to build Alibaba Pictures into the world's largest entertainment company, and subsequent projects are already under development!"

Teacher Ma is as high-profile as ever.

The picture of him shaking hands with Hollywood giant Steven Spielberg also shook the entire film and television industry.

Ali's move is a bit big. Spielberg can be said to be a prominent figure in Hollywood.

What exactly does Mr. Ma want to do with such a trump card?

The industry has been discussing this matter these days. Some people have been suffering for a long time and shouted that they are finally going to put pressure on Governor Zhou.

Others hold conservative opinions and denounce Mr. Ma for inviting wolves into the house and stealing everyone's jobs.

"Boss, Amblin Pictures seems to have come to us?"

Ni Ni has a good memory and remembers it very clearly.

Among the files she sorted out, there are emails from Amblin Pictures.

Zhou Yutang's schedule in Hollywood, and someone even came to do public relations.

"I am not the same as them."

Zhou Yutang lightly exposed Ni Ni's question.

He browsed the news on the tablet, but his focus was on another point.

At this Ali global strategic cooperation press conference, Zhang Qiang, CEO of Ali Pictures, seemed to be standing a little far away.

Even his speech was very brief, not even as good as Zhang Wei's.

Originally, Zhang Qiang, a general under Zuoshan Diao, was hired by Mr. Ma at a high salary to preside over Alibaba Pictures, holding great power.

However, since the beginning of the year, Alibaba Group has continuously adjusted the management structure and incentive mechanism of Alibaba Pictures.

In the past six months, Alibaba Pictures has not done many projects.

Two senior vice presidents were parachuted in from the group headquarters.

Zhang Wei, who is responsible for overseas business, and Deng Kangming, who is in charge of the group's human resources.

Others have two people in charge, but Mr. Ma directly plays with three giants.

…

The seven-day National Day holiday is over.

"Operation Mekong" still dominates the box office, with a total box office of 1.012 billion.

Chen Duling has been a little resentful recently. She originally felt novel about replying to messages from her boss's work phone.

Chatting with business tycoons on behalf of her boss.

Just thinking about it makes me a little excited.

After the National Day holiday, Chen Duling, whose hands were almost broken, didn't even have the mood to watch the League of Legends World Championship...

Almost every moment, there were congratulatory messages coming in.

Friends who are close to each other all contact Zhou Yutang's private number directly.

The people stored on this work phone are not very familiar.

Several Passats stopped at the entrance of Jiangdong Building in a low-key manner.

Then, several men and women with straight bodies like javelins got out of the car one after another and went straight to the ninth floor.

"Director Zhou, Director Tang... Thank you for your hard work."

"It's my duty. The leader said that we should learn more about advanced film and television production experience from General Manager Zhou."

"We dare not learn, let's focus on communication..."

Zhou Yutang shook hands and exchanged greetings with Zhou Zhengtian, Tang Jing and other people from the Navy.

They were invited to sit in the reception sofa area of ​​the office.

Two black leather four-person long sofas face north and south.

Zhou Zhengtian and Tang Jing, the two directors of the Navy Television Art Center, sat on two single sofas.

There was a crystal glass coffee table in the middle.

Ni Ni, who was wearing a professional suit, picked up the antique stove with her bare hands and poured a few cups of tea for several guests from the Navy.

The fragrance of flowers is everywhere, and the tea is leisurely.

The Navy TV Art Center was originally established on the basis of the Navy Drama Troupe.

With the Navy behind it, it has a strong foundation.

Later, the main task was to create literary and artistic works that shape the image of the contemporary navy.

After the conference in 2012, the higher authorities also attached great importance to the propaganda of the army.

Several key departments received tasks.

For example, the Six Gates Headquarters made "Operation Mekong", and the Air Force's "Sky Hunter" fell into the hands of Da Hei Niu and Huayi.

The same is true for the Navy.

The intention was previously conveyed to Jiangdong Entertainment, but it has been pending.

It is not just Zhou Yutang who has a relationship. Da Hei Niu can lead Huayi to organize "Sky Hunter", and the Navy is also making plans at the same time.

This kind of main theme project handed down by the organization may suffer losses if it is not done well, so it is understandable to be cautious.

Now that the box office and reputation of "Operation Mekong" have both taken off, even the Navy's top leaders have been alarmed.

Direct orders will come to fruition.

"We have been a TV art center for many years and have done many TV projects, but we lack experience in making movies."

Zhou Zhengtian's name sounds just one character different from Zhou Zhengping, but in fact they have nothing to do with each other.

He is from a family of public security cadres, and has the unique austere temperament of a soldier, but also a bit of literary style.

No matter what he said or did, he was very straightforward.

Another director Tang, with a gentle temperament, elegant speech and moderate speed:

"Yesterday I watched Director Zhou's "Operation Mekong", which was really wonderful and captured the style of our Chinese police..."

"This time the leader instructed that Director Zhou should be the one to do it. The specific project and personnel can be determined by Director Zhou..."

The two directors of the Navy Political Department were all present, and it was obvious that they wanted to finalize the cooperation today.

The preliminary cooperation intention was determined. After chatting for nearly an hour, Zhou Yutang personally sent the two directors out.

"Director Zhou and Teacher Feng Ji have sorted out the information. I will take Jiangdong's screenwriter team to review it. We will make the script as soon as possible and then do cost accounting..."

The Feng Ji Zhou Yutang mentioned is not the one who did Black Myth.

This is the screenwriter teacher of the Navy TV Art Center, and he is also a well-known veteran screenwriter of military genres in the industry.

His representative works include "The Unfading Number", "Fire Blue Blade", "War Thunder", "God Dog Warrior", etc.

Last year, the Navy received the task and made a script based on the real event of the evacuation of Chinese nationals from Yemen.

This is the first version of the script, and it will definitely be revised in the future.

TV series have their own narrative rhythm, and movies require stronger market commercial attributes, so they must be revised.

The Navy has a senior leader who has spoken, and the project will definitely be green-lit.

Including officers and soldiers who experienced the evacuation, as well as the person involved, General Xia Ping, and even the Jiaolong Commando, can cooperate to provide materials.

This project is somewhat different from "Wolf Warrior 2".

The theme of "Wolf Warrior 2" is extreme personal heroism, while the project of the Navy must highlight the collective group portrait.

The Chinese Navy fought bloody battles overseas to protect the lives and safety of the Chinese people.

In the process of carrying out the national mission, the modern war scenes are reflected.

There are sacrifices, passion, and unchanging beliefs...

Sort out your thoughts.

Zhou Yutang opened the document on the computer.

Half an hour later, Ni Ni came in to add tea for Zhou Yutang.

With a quick glance, he saw four large characters on the screen:

"Operation Red Sea!"

...
