Huayu started as a lecturer at Beijing Film Academy

Gu Zhongyu came back from Han Country. On the way, he tried to contact Da Tiantian to go back together, but the other party just didn't answer the phone.

The message fell on deaf ears. There are countless licking dogs, but your Tiantian didn't reply.

Forget it, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future. It's not too late to ask then. I don't believe you can hide from me forever.

Zhang Bichen finally listened to Gu Zhongyu's advice. She didn't go to Han Country to be a trainee to waste her time. Instead, she went back to China with him and prepared to participate in the second season of The Voice of China next year.

The original Zhang Bichen won the championship in the third season of The Voice of China in 2014. This time, it was a year ahead of schedule. I don't know if she can achieve such a result again.

But this has nothing to do with Gu Zhongyu. He has already written a letter of introduction to Blue TV and the production company behind it, Canxing Production (after all, he slept for so many days in vain, so he has to show some appreciation). He has done his best. If he wants him to spend a lot of effort to support her, it's impossible.

The divine song "Fox Cry" sung at the China-Korea Concert really lived up to expectations. After returning to China, Gu Zhongyu also produced a new MV, which quickly exceeded one million views on YouTube on the first day, and then swept major music charts and popular videos, and also triggered many follow-up secondary works.

Comparatively speaking, the song "Fox Cry" is more popular in Europe and the United States. After all, it is an English song, with a peculiar voice, a brisk rhythm, and catchy lyrics.

Moreover, some cultural images in "Fox Cry", such as the animalization of people and forests, are more familiar to Westerners than "Gangnam Style", which is one of the reasons why it can surpass "Gangnam Style" in Europe and the United States.

Alexandra and Shariz, who are far away on the other side of the ocean, also knew about it and called to ask him how he came up with such a fun song.

It's all the wisdom of "predecessors"...

Gu Zhongyu was not famous in Europe and the United States before, but after the song "Fox Cry" became popular, he is now at least a famous Internet celebrity on the English Internet. Next time he goes to the United States, he will be easily recognized.

As time came to December, the domestic film market has undergone new changes.

"1942" produced by Huayi and directed by Feng Kuzi was released. It invested nearly 200 million yuan, but the result was that it was well received but not popular. Feng Kuzi rarely made a serious historical disaster movie, but the box office continued to decline after the release. According to current forecasts, the final box office will not exceed 400 million, and it will definitely lose money.

Lu Kushitaro's "The Feast of the King" is even more ridiculous. This movie is a copycat version of Kurosawa Akira at best, and it is a shameless and low-brow movie like "Breathless" and "Wolf Totem" at worst.

The dark and broken screen, the shocking lines that don't speak human language, the messy plot, no fighting, no brains, and no scenes have reduced "The Feast of Kings" to "The Leftovers of Kings".

Lu Chuan had previously shouted the bold words "If the box office of "The Feast of Kings" exceeds 300 million, I will marry Qin Lan", but he was ridiculed and mocked by "There are a hundred Lu Chuans between Li An and Feng Kuzi". In order to avoid "Painted Skin 2", it was moved to the end of the year. Now it can't even beat Feng Kuzi's "1942" and "Life of Pi", which can be regarded as a worthy death.

Brother Cheng Long did well this time. After several failed transformations, the original Long action film "The Chinese Zodiac" was released after a 3-year absence.

The movie caused an unprecedented craze as soon as it was released, and the box office continued to rise. Cheng Long used his strength to prove that he is still sharp.

Gu Zhongyu remembered that the movie finally won more than 800 million yuan at the box office. If measured by today's perspective, this 800 million box office may not be amazing. After all, after ten years of rapid development of domestic films, a low-cost love movie can easily break 800 million.

But you have to know that it was 2012.

However, the luck of "The Chinese Zodiac" was not very good. It encountered another box office giant, "Lost in Thailand", which opened the era of China's billion box office in the previous life.

Although the billion box office record in this life was first broken by "Ball Lightning" by Zongheng Film and Television, there are many metaphysical factors in this box office itself. Its success cannot be replicated, not to mention that the final break of 1 billion was also delayed by the secret key.

The success of "Lost in Thailand" was unexpected. With an investment of less than 30 million and no superstar blessing, it created a carnival for this year's Lunar New Year file in advance with a box office record of 36 million on the first day, 90 million on a single weekend day, and more than 300 million on the first weekend!

21 days after its release, the cumulative box office exceeded 1 billion yuan and the number of viewers exceeded 31 million, setting the highest record of cumulative box office and number of viewers for domestic films at that time.

Until it was taken off the shelves, the box office of "Lost in Thailand" reached 1.27 billion yuan.

The huge success of "Lost in Thailand" also made Xu Zheng, who was in a bottleneck period, become China's most popular film director, adding a halo marked as "1.3 billion director" to his head.

This "debut" in which Xu Zheng served as screenwriter, director, producer and starring actor at the same time made him attract much attention.

It was also from this time that domestic comedy films began to step onto a new level, and various film companies began to increase their investment in this area. In the future, there will be comedy films with big box office hits every year.

After all, the production difficulty and cost of science fiction epic films are too high, and they are full of uncertainties. Comedy films are more profitable with small capital and easy to make bad money, so even if they lose money, they will not be a big loss.

There is also an episode in the middle, which is the dispute between Wang Baoxiang and Xu Zheng. The relationship between the two has been good since "囧囧路". As a result, the box office of "囧囧" exceeded 1 billion, and Huang Bo got 50 million dividends, while Wang Baoxiang, one of the leading actors, only received a salary of two million!

Wang Baoxiang, who was furious, revealed the matter to the media unceremoniously.

So Xu Zheng later said at a public film conference that no matter how high Wang Baoxiang's box office was, I would never cooperate with him again. But after hearing the audience's sighs, he immediately changed his rhetoric: "Mainly because with him, people will no longer pay attention to me."

Although it was not expressed clearly, everyone knew it. After that, Xu Zheng really never collaborated with Wang Baoxiang again. Even at the risk of losing the popularity of "囧", Xu Zheng did not use him to star.

Gu Zhongyu felt that the two of them had no structure in this matter. Since they had made so much money, they had to be somewhat stingy, as if he had given the power a bonus of eight million in the first place!

2012 has not yet completely ended, and the film market is already in full swing. What is Gu Zhongyu doing at this time?

He's boxing!

~

In an empty room, Zhang Lanxin and Gu Zhongyu began their first sparring practice today.

On the plane to Cannes, the two of them exchanged contact information and agreed to practice boxing together when they had nothing to do. However, Gu Zhongyu was traveling around and didn't have much time to stay in Yanjing during this period, so he never had the chance to meet.

It happened that the premiere of "Twelve Zodiac Signs" was held in Yanjing, and Gu Zhongyu also went to support brother Cheng Long. He met Zhang Lanxin and mentioned that he wanted to teach him boxing.

She didn't expect that Gu Zhongyu actually wanted to learn kung fu from her. Zhang Lanxin, who was so frightened, naturally agreed happily. She even said that she would not participate in the subsequent road shows and would stay in Yanjing to teach Mr. Gu boxing!

Is this a way to save face?

How can Gu thank someone for this?

The two people in the gym were wearing white taekwondo uniforms, with their feet on soft boxing mats. The room was filled with the smell of sweat and youthful vitality.

Zhang Lanxin stood in front of Gu Zhongyu, her long legs were particularly eye-catching, she smiled at him and said: "Get ready, Mr. Gu, follow my movements, let's get started."

Gu Zhongyu nodded and tried his best to imitate Zhang Lanxin's movements, but his punches always seemed powerful and lacked flexibility. Zhang Lanxin shook her head gently and said, "You must learn to relax and release the power of your body..."

Before she finished speaking, Gu Zhongyu had already punched out his fist, a standard Taekwondo forward punch.

"Mr. Gu, have you practiced before?" Zhang Lanxin suddenly felt that she didn't look like a novice just now.

"It's just the basics of martial arts boxing when I was young."

In real kung fu, the theoretical foundations of all martial arts are from the same origin, and even the training methods are not much different, so Gu Zhongyu got started quickly.

The two continued to practice their moves on the boxing mat, exchanging moves from time to time to familiarize themselves with the basic routines.

In the corner, the piggy Dundun, who had just woken up, was watching the battle with wide eyes. According to the experience of cats, the stinky poop shovel will soon have to fight the human female to take off her fur and have a life-or-death battle. But Every time the result was the same, he always won a great victory and pinned his opponent down.

As the practice progressed, the two began to simulate a formal fight.

Zhang Lanxin's movements were smooth and flowing, and every punch carried a strong offensive intention, as if she wanted to release all her power. Although Gu Zhongyu is a beginner, his eyes are full of determination and persistence, and he goes all out with every attack.

Suddenly, Zhang Lanxin quickly turned sideways, grabbed Gu Zhongyu's arm, quickly dived down, and kicked Gu Zhongyu in the stomach. Gu Zhongyu didn't expect her movements to be so fast, and he couldn't react for a while. His body swayed and he almost lost his balance.

"You're moving too slowly!" Zhang Lanxin shouted.

Not to be outdone, Gu Zhongyu replied: "You are the one in slow motion! I have tried my best.

Zhang Lanxin smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I'll teach you some skills." She said and demonstrated the movements again. Gu Zhongyu watched her movements seriously and imitated them carefully.

Their fists, feet and movements were intertwined, and their figures were intertwined on the boxing mat, advancing and retreating, attacking and defending. Gu Zhongyu gradually understood, and his movements became more and more coordinated and smooth.

At this moment, Gu Zhongyu saw the opportunity and made a roundabout feint with his hands, but suddenly launched an attack with his feet. A quick sneak attack, relying on surprise, successfully knocked Zhang Lanxin to the ground!

Then he pressed his whole body on Zhang Lanxin, making her unable to move.

Zhang Lanxin was careless for a moment and did not dodge. Now her whole body was suppressed, so she opened her eyes wide and shouted: "Despicable! You don't have martial ethics, come to cheat, come to secretly suck a girl of mine!"

Gu Zhongyu smiled and said, "This is called a soldier who never tires of deceit."

Zhang Lanxin struggled to get rid of Gu Zhongyu's suppression, but the difference in weight and strength between the two was too great, and the other party was not moving at all, which made her feel a little bit panicked.

Gu Zhongyu felt his heart beating faster. He tried to control his emotions, but Zhang Lanxin's presence made him feel a strong attraction. Their eyes met, and each other's breathing echoed in the empty room.

"Don't hold me down like this..." Zhang Lanxin was too embarrassed to continue looking at him and whispered breathlessly.

"It's called a sparring game if there's a give and take." Gu Zhongyu said with a smile, "This time I'll teach you, the Taekwondo champion, a lesson."

Zhang Lanxin glared at him and said, "I understand. I'll remember this lesson."

Just when Gu Zhongyu was about to get up with a smile to let Zhang Lanxin get away, the fat man Gong Geer suddenly pushed the door and walked in. Then he saw his boss pressing on Zhang Lanxin...

MD! Mr. Gu knows how to have fun!

He just looked for Gu Zhongyu everywhere. People said that his boss was sparring with others in the gym. He ran over in a hurry, but he didn't expect to see this scene when he opened the door!

If I come in a little later, will you guys have to fight naked?

He immediately covered his eyes and was about to leave, saying, "Sorry, I disturbed you, you guys continue!"

"Get back!"

Gu Zhongyu stood up and quickly called him back. He didn't take off his clothes, so why are you covering your eyes!

While telling Zhang Lanxin that there was some work to be done, he asked her to take a break first and continue later.

Gong Geer thought to himself: Continue? Did you guys already have sex once before?

Zhang Lanxin went to sit on the bench next to her to rest, and took Dun Dun, who was lying on the ground, into her hands. Gu Zhongyu was quite interesting, as he actually kept such a fat cat and brought it with him.

Dun Dun resisted Zhang Lanxin's affectionate advances with disdain, saying, "You useless two-legged beast, you can't beat a stinky shit shoveler, but you still want to come and hug me?"

"Go ahead! What's the matter?"

"Zhou Xingxing just called me and said that he had rested enough and could direct a new movie at any time. He asked when we could arrange it."

Zhou Xingxing has been resting for almost a year since he lost the lawsuit against the Wang brothers last time. Maybe he was stimulated by the high box office of the comedy movie "Lost in Thailand" this time, and finally couldn't hold back and was ready to shoot "The Mermaid".

Gu Zhongyu nodded. The old man finally had enough rest. If he had just stayed there, he might have been unable to resist asking another director to take over.

After all, he had the script, and the movie "The Mermaid" didn't require any superb shooting techniques. Ning Hao, Xu Zheng and others could also shoot it, and the effect might even be better.

"Also, there's also some progress with Shen Teng, the person you asked me to contact."
