Entertainment: I really want to make progress

"No, Brother JAY, there are paparazzi!"

Two balls of light erupted from behind Dani's lenses, and she instantly burst out at a speed that was incompatible with her body size. She firmly protected Jay Chou behind her, then took out her mobile phone and dialed the number of the bodyguard.

"Gan! That's outrageous! Can I be caught dressed like this?"

Zhou Jielun frowned slightly as he looked at himself who was fully armed.

After being reminded like this by Dani, she soon felt that there was a paparazzi filming her secretly.

"Jaylen, are you coming to the cinema to watch "Those Years"?"

"Jaylen, how do you feel about "Slam Dunk" being overtaken by "Those Years" at the box office?"

"Jaylen, please"

Dani used her size to force her way out of the way.

Jay Chou quickened his pace and walked toward his business car with his head down.

Several bodyguards also came up to stop the paparazzi reporters.

"Brother JAY, get in the car quickly."

Dani took three steps at a time to open the car door for Jay Chou and waved to Jay Chou.

"You can get blocked even if you wear something like this. It's really bad."

After getting on the bus, Jay Chou took off his hat, sunglasses, and mask, sat back on the seat, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother JAY, don't be so impulsive next time."

Dani handed over a bottle of water and muttered: "If those reporters find out that you went to watch "Those Years", they will definitely report it and it will be very embarrassing."

"What does it matter?"

Jay Chou opened the water and took a sip, but he looked very interested: "Hey, Dani, you also read it, what do you think?"

“I don’t think it’s as good as ‘Slam Dunk’.”

Dani is very aware and expresses her position when she opens her mouth.

"Please, tell the truth and I won't deduct your bonus."

Jay Chou's expression twitched.

Dani has been following him for a long time, and the two of them usually get along as if they were friends.

Dani thought for a while, then said: "I think "Those Years" is similar to "Slam Dunk", they are both very good-looking."

"Dani, please speak with your conscience. To be honest, I am more optimistic about "Those Years"."

"Okay, I also think "Those Years" is better, but "Slam Dunk" is also good."

Dani stopped pretending and finally spoke her mind, secretly glancing at Jay Chou's expression.

Hey, why doesn't Brother JAY look disappointed at all?

Why do you look a little excited instead?

"Yes, watching this movie reminded me of my first love when I was in junior high school. That feeling is really beautiful."

Jay Chou put his hands behind his head and smiled with a nostalgic look: "You girls may not understand this feeling of being the weakest person in the class. Because of a girl, he suddenly stood up and became a better person."

"Really."

Even the boss surrendered to the enemy, and Dani gradually let herself go: "Brother JAY, do you know? When I was in junior high school, I also liked a boy like Zhou Yutang. He was really cool."

"Wow, Dani, you have spring too, are you together?"

Jay Chou suddenly gossiped.

"Shit, it's just a secret love, I don't have the guts to say it out loud."

"This classmate Zhou Jielun from Class 2, Grade 3, who jumped on the street and made fun of me, is outrageous."

Jay Chou chuckled softly and said: "However, I think Zhou Yutang's acting skills are pretty awesome and he is as handsome as me."

"He's better than JAY. No, he's almost handsome."

Dani almost said what was in her heart, but immediately changed her mind: "In short, it's almost the same. Zhou Yutang is from the acting department of Beijing Film Academy. It's normal for her acting skills to be better. Anyway, her singing is not as good as that of JAY."

"To be honest, I have listened to a few songs he wrote, and they are all pretty good."

"It's not bad, Brother JAY. It's only been released for a few days, and we still have a chance to overtake it at the box office."

Dani comforted her.

Xiao Xiao lets herself go, but she still knows her position and will stand by Jay Chou no matter what.

But to be honest, Dani was a little shocked. Jay Chou is the king of Chinese music. Although he is not a person with high aspirations, he is still arrogant.

After following Jay Chou for so long, this is the first time for Dani to see Brother Jay appreciate an opponent so much.

"No chance."

Jay Chou made a cool shooting motion with both hands: "I can do it all as a writer, screenwriter, song writer, actor, director. He is really a cool guy. If I have a chance, I would like to get to know him."

……………………

"Let me introduce you to the romantic and talented Zhou Yutang!"

"A touching youth film with no car accidents, sex scenes, or abortions to the end."

"Zhou Yutang captured the most authentic youth of the two generations born in the 80s and 90s!"

"The most unmissable Chinese-language film of the year. With such a reputation, it is a dark horse at the box office during the Lunar New Year."

"'The Girl We Chased Together' will be released in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and it is expected to cause a sensation!"

Film critics have written many articles, and the media's praise for "Those Years" has reached a new peak.

Zhou Yutang himself compiled a complete set of golden sentences and popular words in "Those Years" and handed it over to the publicity team. As the movie was released, the publicity gradually began, and now the classic lines of "Those Years" have begun to dominate the Internet. .

"No matter how awesome a person is, the time they spend is not as good as the time when a bunch of people are stupid!"

"You are the apple of my eye."

"Actually, I'm not as good as you think. You only like me in your imagination."

"Because I want to chase you, I study hard and it turns out to be a very passionate thing."

"Comb your hair like an adult and put on a handsome suit."

We have not yet reached the Internet age, but young people are keen to accept new things.

Especially when your QQ space signature can include such popular phrases and popular words, then students of the opposite sex who come to your space will think that you are very stylish and fresh and handsome.

Zhou Yutang was just the driving force behind the scenes and provided some opinions.

Specifically, it is Li Shuang and Li Xiaoping who operate it.

Li Xiaoping saw it and felt happy in her heart. She felt more and more that she had found a treasure.

In addition to her joy, she also arranged meetings with Zhou Yutang in several cities.

After running the promotion for many days in a row, I was really tired, but seeing the crazy soaring box office, Zhou Yutang felt a sense of satisfaction that could not be described in words.

By late February.

The box office of "Slam Dunk" gradually stopped at 73 million, and the film schedule plummeted, basically declaring that the potential was exhausted.

The cumulative box office of "Those Years" has reached 138 million, which is a very gorgeous number.

What concept?

It has surpassed last year's "Lust, Caution" directed by Li Anda!

Set a new record for the highest box office for a youth genre film

Moreover, at this time, the box office of "Those Years" is still increasing by more than two million every day, which shows that many movie fans have watched it several times.

"Boss, the Internet says that we will go all out and have a chance to hit the box office of 200 million!?"

Zhao Liying came close to Zhou Yutang, her little face full of excitement.

"What are you thinking about?"

"ah?"

Zhao Liying was stunned.

"The statements on the Internet are unreliable."

Zhou Yutang shook his head and said with a smile: "Two hundred million is not realistic, but 160 million is possible."

The distributor of "Slam Dunk" originally issued a press release targeting a box office of 200 million.

At present, there are only so many established audiences in the country, and there are only 4,000 movie screens in total.

There is also a very serious problem. "Those Years" has been released for almost 20 days, and many pirated copies have appeared online.

Unless it's a big cast like "Assembly Number" and "Reporter" and it hits the box office right from the start, it's basically impossible to hit 200 million due to piracy.

So far.

The box office of "Those Years" shocked many people in the industry, and it also exceeded Zhou Yutang's psychological expectations.

Zhao Liying stuck out her tongue and felt a little dizzy when she heard this number.

This is 100 million, with 8 zeros at the end, how much does it cost?

How much money can your own boss make?

The way she looked at Zhou Yutang was different.

The boss is one year younger than me, how can he be so powerful?

And he seems to be more handsome than before.

This time, Zhao Liying followed Zhou Yutang to promote and appeared on many programs, including "Tian Tian Shang Shang", a domestic first-line variety show. This was an opportunity that she had never had in Huayi before.

Therefore, Zhao Liying cherishes her very much. She follows Zhou Yutang all the way. She is diligent and capable, and is almost equal to half of Zhou Yutang's assistant.

"Boss, that's awesome. I'll ask my brother to watch it again and contribute some money to the box office."

"You have a younger brother?"

Zhou Yutang was also happy.

He is currently on a plane, flying first class.

It's not boring to chat with a little girl like Zhao Liying.

"Yeah, my brother's name is Zhao Jianfei, he's so naughty."

Zhao Liying said with a smile: "If I don't study hard all day, I like to play with my female classmates. This little girl invites him to watch movies and invites him to dinner. I don't know how he has the nerve to wait for me to come home. I must deal with him well." "

"have a future."

Zhou Yutang felt slightly happy.

Fortunately, your brother's surname is Zhao and not Kang.

……………………

Huayi.

A high-level meeting is taking place.

Mr. and Mrs. Wang sat on the leather seats with a solemn expression.

In an unknown corner, "Wedding 2008", a love movie produced by Huayi Company and released at the same time as "Those Years" on the Lunar New Year holiday on 2.10, starring Guo Tao and Tao Hong, has a cost similar to that of "Those Years". But they were defeated directly.

The box office of this period was almost completely sucked up by "Slam Dunk" and "Those Years".

Although Guo Tao and Tao Hong are both capable actors, when it comes to box office appeal, they are really incomparable to Jay Chou and Zhou Yutang.

Huayi also invested some promotional resources in this low-budget romantic comedy, but even if it couldn't get off the ground, there was nothing that could be done. In the end, the total box office was just over 4 million, so it had to be released early.

There was also "Pride and Prejudice" starring the goddess Anne Hathaway, which was released at the same time. It was also beaten by "Those Years" and the box office was dismal.

"Those Years" is the biggest dark horse in the Lunar New Year movie.

Mr. Wang didn't even notice the cigar ashes in his mouth fell on the table. He held the box office report handed over by his statistician with a look of disbelief on his face:

"The box office is expected to exceed 175 million. Are you sure you are not kidding?"

"Mr. Wang, it's true. This is calculated based on the latest data. It combines the reputation of "Those Years" as well as the attendance rate and the number of moviegoers. The final error will not exceed 5 million."

Wang Zhongjun frowned and asked, "What's the origin of this Zhou Yutang?"

Mr. Xiao Wang was also holding a cigar in his mouth and turned his attention to the manager of the film department.

The manager had a good memory. He pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "A newcomer who just debuted last year, a student from the Beijing Film Academy, made his debut in a TV series last year and became a hit. Mr. Chen had dinner with him. .”

"oh?"

Wang Zhongjun turned to look to his right.

Chen Guofu pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, shook his head and chuckled.

Wang Zhonglei asked: "Old Chen, are you familiar with this kid?"

Chen Guofu smiled and said: "I met him once and asked Yu Tang to do something. Xiao Ming has a good relationship with him and even invested in his TV series."

"We have a good relationship? Is it possible to recruit him?"

"This is a very thoughtful young man, and I don't think it's possible."

The boss has many things to do, and he is dating all celebrities. He is not sure about the thoughts of an ambitious newcomer like Zhou Yutang. Chen Guofu probably understands what Mr. Wang is thinking, and reminds him tactfully:

"Mr. Wang, although Zhou Yutang is a student at the film school, he has opened a studio of his own, specializing in film and television projects. So far, he has done several projects in a row, and each project has achieved several times the income. Operation It’s in very good condition, so it’s unlikely to come over.”

"That said, he is truly a talent."

Mr. Xiao Wang took a puff of his cigar, flicked the ashes and crossed his legs.

Wang Zhongjun raised his hand, pressed the button out of thin air, and quickly made a decision: "The company has entered the IPO preparation stage and is making final preparations for listing this year. Zhou Yutang is popular and capable. We can acquire his studio at a premium."

"Money is not an issue. Let the public relations department negotiate first. If you can get it within 60 million, you can directly ask me to sign it. As long as Zhou Yutang can come over, you can make whatever conditions you want, including some of Huayi's S-level film and television resources, and we can open it to him. "

All the senior executives of Huayi present took a breath.

Sixty million.

The king is really very courageous.

With so much money, just spend it on Zhou Yutang and his newly established studio?

There are also subsequent S-level film and television resources, which is almost the treatment of first-line stars in the industry.

A senior executive raised objections: "Mr. Wang, this is against the rules. What do others think of giving him such good treatment?"

"I will be responsible for what I say."

Wang Zhongjun stood up, supported the table with both hands, and made a decisive move.

Mr. Xiao Wang also put out his cigar in the ashtray and said with a smile: "How much world can such a young man see? If he wants to be in the circle, if he wants money or women, Huayi can satisfy him."

Chen Guofu laughed but said nothing.

The meeting dispersed.

The manager of the film and television department followed Chen Guofu out.

The manager of the film and television department couldn't help but asked: "Boss, I think you just seemed to have something to say."

"The king bought a horse bone this time, but 60 million is really too expensive. Even if "Those Years" had a final box office of 170 million, excluding the share from theaters and cable TV, he wouldn't be able to get much from the king. If he keeps smashing like this, this kid is really lucky."

Huayi spent 60 million to acquire Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio.

If Zhou Yutang accepts it, it will mean a net worth of 60 million yuan.

He is only in his 20s, and with such wealth, it is no exaggeration to say that he has reached the sky in one step.

"Sixty million?"

Chen Guofu pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, as if he had heard some funny joke: "You underestimate Zhou Yutang, do you think he will take it seriously?"

"Such a dick? You can't even look down on 60 million?"

The manager of Huayi Film and Television Department was dumbfounded and roared crazily in his heart.

This 60 million yuan, if you don't engage in gambling in China, it will basically be a lifetime of prosperity and wealth.

"That's how cool he is."

Chen Guofu patted his subordinate on the shoulder, shook his head and chuckled: "Pay more attention to the box office in other places, and you will know why I said that."
