- #514 - Chapter 514 A masterpiece of a generation, making big profits steadily
The mainland film market is booming, and Xiang Jia, one of the local leaders in Hong Kong, has finally made a big move.
This time, I joined hands with Mr. Hua from Haojiang’s local Moon Entertainment, and also with Fatty Bonayu, who had always been actively moving closer to the Hong Kong circle, and together we came to Boda.
A fund of 100 million was handed into the hands of Fatty Wang, and slogans were shouted loudly.
“The God of Gamblers returns and fights again in the world.”
When the classic BGM of God of Gamblers played, it was really exciting.
In addition to Zhou Runfa, the cast also includes Xiangjiang’s young master Xie Tingfeng. Da Tiantian has been very popular in domestic entertainment recently and has also received invitations.
“Tiantian, has the contract been signed?”
“I signed it. The management team at Starlight recommended me to take it.”
“I recommend you fire them.”
“ah?”
Da Tiantian’s eyes widened and her mouth opened slightly, her confused look was quite cute.
Although Zhou Yutang is a shareholder of Starlight, he is basically not involved in the company’s operations there.
“Just kidding, good luck.”
Zhou Yutang smiled and encouraged Da Tiantian.
If it were him, he would definitely not take a second look at this kind of project.
“Reba, the crew is urging me urgently, I have to leave.”
Gulinazha kept an eye on Princess Tian for a long time, but finally spotted Princess Tian and ushered in Tang Yan.
However, Tang Yan didn’t stay long, she just came to visit the class and soon went to catch up on business trips out of town.
“Nazha, do you really have that kind of relationship with your boss?”
The relationship between Dilraba and Gulinazha is so good that they talk about almost everything, but this is the first time they have talked about it publicly.
“Of course, I have always been my brother’s person.”
“.”
Dilraba hesitated for a while, then asked tactfully: “Then do you know that there are many women around the boss?”
Since joining the group, she has been observing secretly.
Jing Tian looked at the boss with a sweet look, which was very problematic.
Not to mention Tang Yan, she burst into laughter as soon as she saw the boss. If there wasn’t someone next to her, she would have directly stuck to him.
“Since ancient times, there are many ships that do not block the river. The first person to come is my sister.”
“Mina, you are so educated, you should take the postgraduate entrance examination.”
“Anyway, no matter what.”
Gulinazha snorted: “My brother and I must be in true love. Sooner or later, they will break up. Then I will be the boss of Jiangdong Entertainment.”
“I’m not on the set. Please keep an eye on me. I will definitely protect you from now on.”
After staying with Zhou Yutang for a long time, she has more or less learned the skill of making cakes, and Naza also comes with her mouth.
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on it for you and let you know if anything happens.”
Dilraba nodded and responded casually, but in her heart she didn’t believe that Nazha could take the position.
The main reason is that Nazha is a bit short-sighted and has a love brain.
As for her role, in “The Legend of Zhen Huan”, she would definitely not survive three episodes.
Through careful observation during this period, Reba analyzed Zhou Yutang’s calls on the set and intuitively judged that Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi were the most important in her heart.
We also have a lot of contacts with Gao Yuanyuan, and we also chat with Yang Mi and Tang Yan from time to time.
Nazha is just a lover at most, and has no advantage at all compared to the above.
“We are good sisters.”
Gulinazha didn’t know what Reba was thinking, so she hugged her arm eagerly, with touching eyes in her clear eyes: “From now on, if you help me, I will help you too.”
Even being a lover feels a sense of crisis these days.
Nazha knew that she had good looks and was loved by Zhou Yutang, but the most indispensable thing in the entertainment industry was beautiful girls.
Who knows if a younger and more beautiful sister will emerge?
However, the production of “The Legend of Ancient Swords” has already started, and it is really urgent. Reba has less roles, but she is the second female lead. After finishing filming, she stayed with the crew for two more days, and she had no choice but to join the cast reluctantly. .
The drama “The Story of Ancient Swords” stars Damimi, Chen Xiao, Yang Yang, Qiao Zhenyu, Huang Xuan, and Guli Nazha.
With all the handsome men and beauties, this is an S-level project that has attracted much attention in the entire film and television industry.
However.
Not long after the filming of the TV series started, there were rumors of a scandal. I don’t know who leaked the news. When Jiang Wenli came to visit the crew, she was photographed acting too closely with Huang Xuan.
The entertainment journalists were very venomous and directly said that Jiang Wenli was an old cow eating young grass and performing post-adolescent poetry.
“Yu Tang, let me tell you, it seems to be true.”
Damimi was always on the front line of eating melons. When she called Zhou Yutang in the evening, she excitedly talked about it: “Do you know?”
Can you not know that?
Aunt Wenli personally came forward and found Zhou Yutang to help connect Huang Xuan.
Otherwise, how could he obtain such resources.
Although they are supporting roles, the supporting roles in Jiangdong Entertainment’s S-level film and television projects can make the group of niches in the circle who want to rise above their heads.
Huanrui wanted to push Li Yifeng, Huayi had Jing Bairan, and in the end it was Huang Xuan who had the last laugh.
Huang Xuan, a handsome boy with single eyelids, made his debut in the draft.
At that time, Super Girl was popular all over the country, the mainland talent show was in full swing, and good men and fast men were fighting like crazy.
There is also a talent show called “A Dream of Red Mansions”, in which China Film Group, Yinghuang, and Xinbaoyuan are all investors.
Yao Di, Bai Bin and others all came from here, and they were all related households.
Bai Bin had already signed with Yinghuang at that time, and it was a smooth journey. Unexpectedly, there was a master. Yao Di, the first sister of Xin Baoyuan, finally beat her and won the championship of the Red Mansion Baochai group.
It’s not that the elder sister is not beautiful, but the relationship between the younger sister is a bit tough.
There was also an inside story on the Baoyu team. Xu Haiqiao, Ma Tianyu, Chen Xiao, Huang Xuan, etc. were also contestants, but they all lost in the end.
Probably after seeing the dangers of the world, Huang Xuan began to know the goodness of his sister.
“Back then, Director Gu Changwei had something to do with Zhang Jingchu, but I didn’t expect Jiang Wenli to do it herself.”
Damimi is also a little fox, and she realized it in a flash: “I heard that Jiang Wenli specially arranged her own agent for Huang Xuan, and also helped him connect “Women’s Gang” and “White Prime Minister”. This drama is not She must have found you too, right? There is an 18-year age difference between these two.”
“What do you know? Age is not a gap. True love has no boundaries.”
Zhou Yutang said calmly: “It takes a big sister to know what is cold and what is hot, like a young girl who likes to do things too much.”
“That’s true.”
Yang Mi seemed to think that she was older than Zhou Yutang, and laughed: “No wonder people in the circle say you are a sister control, hahaha.”
“Stop gossiping every day and act properly.”
Zhou Yutang coughed lightly: “Let me tell you something serious. I wrote the script for the movie “Charlotte” and there is a school beauty role. I recommend you to try it.”
“Charlotte Troubles” is still the drama team of Happy Twist, but Zhou Yutang inserted Qiao Bin into it.
This fat guy has a sense of joy. After “Unborn”, he was signed by Zhou Shufang. Due to his appearance limitations, he was ready to be trained as a special actor.
Peng Damo just reported that the preparations have reached the final stage, and only Qiu Ya’s role is left. It would be best to find a small traffic star to make up for the lack of popularity in the cast.
Zhou Yutang thought about it and decided that this role would be perfect for Damimi. After all, Qiu Ya is old enough.
“You have a conscience.”
When Yang Mi heard that the book was made by Zhou Yutang, she happily agreed.
In the industry, if you want to make an appointment with Zhou Yutang for a script, you should ask for a price of at least eight figures. If you hesitate for one second, it is disrespectful to the most prestigious top screenwriter.
“Can your schedule be accommodated?”
“Don’t worry, there will be no problem. The worst thing is that we’ll have to fight.”
Sometimes Zhou Yutang admires Da Mi Mi very much and becomes very cruel to herself, resting at most three or four hours a day.
If it were his own play, Damimi would definitely not be allowed to do this, but it didn’t matter for other projects. Characters like Feng Qingxue and Qiu Ya didn’t have much acting requirements.
It is precisely because of her hard work that Damimi ranked in the top 20 in the Forbes celebrity list just released this year, with a total income of more than 50 million last year.
The salary offered to her in Jiangdong’s own film and television dramas was not high.
Her main income comes from her more than a dozen endorsements, and she has received countless announcements outside, which has also laid a solid foundation for Zhou Yutang’s several bases in the capital.
That’s all.
It doesn’t matter if the schedule is a little tight, I’ll have to work hard for a while.
Zhou Yutang of Mi Xing Studio also participated. After getting the dividend at the end of the year, he bought a Bentley.
After Liu Huohua returned to the crew, it was obvious that he was a little depressed.
The crew over there used him to hype him up, but it didn’t bring any positive feedback to the movie box office at all.
The movie he starred in with Tong Yao only had a box office of just over 1 million on the first day. It can be said that it rushed into the Pacific Ocean.
To expand in the film market, it is important to be first in the opening, because the opening box office performance and comprehensive reputation are the most important indicators that affect the subsequent film arrangement in theaters.
“Partners in China” is currently a hit at the box office, and it is heading for 500 million. It will be invincible before the summer release. There is no room for “The Killing” to survive.
After a wave of popularity, it quickly cooled down. The movie was released for three or four days, and the single-day box office had dropped to 300,000 to 400,000 yuan. It was forced to be released soon.
“Director Zhou, I’m sorry.”
Liu Huohua, who played very steadily, failed several times. Zhou Yutang nodded slightly: “Take a short rest and adjust.”
It makes sense for Liu Huohua to be depressed.
There is a big boss behind the nursery rhyme, so she will definitely not be blamed for the low box office.
Liu Huohua’s status is higher than that of a nursery rhyme, and he should be able to handle the box office. Now that the movie’s box office performance is not good, many drafts suddenly appeared, questioning it.
“It doesn’t matter, Hua Zi.”
Chen Minghao was very tolerant, patted Liu Huohua on the shoulder and grinned: “Filming with Director Zhou, are you still worried about the box office?”
Liu Huohua’s eyes lit up and he felt enlightened, thinking to himself:
Andy Lau was known as a box office poison before, but he made a movie with Zhou Yutang and was immediately cleansed of his reputation.
Even he can hug his thighs.
How can I not hold it?
Liu Huohua’s depression soon transferred to Liu Tianwang.
The movie “Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains” starring Liu Tianwang was finally released shockingly.
Zhou Yutang was on the set and asked Li Shuang to attend the premiere of “Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains”.
According to Sister Shuang, Mr. Sun is worthy of being a big boss who can get big official projects, and he has enough face.
Not only were the CEOs of several film and television companies such as Huayi, Bona, Enlight, and Star America all present, but stars from all walks of life gathered together, and almost half of the entertainment industry came to support it.
But the premiere wasn’t over yet. Li Shuang posted a message on the spot to complain: “I watched it for a long time and it’s not over yet. I can’t stand it anymore. With such an opponent, “Slaying the Wolf 2″ is safe!”
In general.
Sister Shuang is quite stable and rarely complains about other opponents.
This time she didn’t even hold back, so you can imagine how bad the movie was.
Facts have proved that there is nothing wrong with Li Shuang’s aesthetics. As soon as the movie was released, netizens became all fired up:
“If you don’t read “Tianji: Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains” in your life, reading thousands of films will be in vain.”
“It is the duty of movies to promote rhythmic gymnastics.”
“The narrative is a mess, the relationship between the characters is inexplicable, the twists and turns are messy, and the whole story doesn’t understand what it wants to express.”
“Use colorful colors and special effects from heaven to earth to catalyze a strange brain-burning and stomach-churning chemical reaction. I’m going to vomit for a while.”
“If a friend watches this movie with you, you must cherish him.”
Zhou Yutang glanced at the comments from netizens and couldn’t help but laugh.
Mr. Sun has been sharpening his sword for eighteen years, using the 3D team of “Avatar”, shooting 3,000 shots and more than 200 hours of material, and finally created a masterpiece of a generation.
The first day’s film schedule was as high as 38%, which is fully double that of America’s imported science fiction blockbuster “Star Trek”!
The box office on the first day also grossed 48 million.
There has never been such a wonderful start, but on the first day the movie was released, there was overwhelming criticism.
“King Liu Tian is so miserable.”
On the crew side, Liu Huohua wiped the sweat from his forehead.
In the past two days, no one criticized him at all. The whole Internet was besieging Liu Dehua and madly criticizing Liu Dehua. Liu Tianwang was also helpless and apologized to the fans quite frankly.
“How bad could that movie be?”
Reba was a little curious: “I looked through the comments for a long time, but I didn’t see a single positive comment.”
“Stop gossiping, all departments are ready.”
Zhou Yutang coughed lightly: “The following is Reba’s scene.”
“action!”
The filming of “Super Body” also went very smoothly.
After finishing her last scene in America, Miss Liu plucked up the courage to go to the cinema with Zou Zhongyan to watch the newly released “Annabelle”.
As a result, everyone was in bad shape.
Usually when watching horror movies at home, Liu Yifei can trick herself into turning off the sound at critical moments.
In this way, the level of terror plummets.
But when she was in the movie theater, she could only bear this wave of hurt.
“Xiao Zhou, let me tell you, it’s definitely not fear.”
Liu Yifei had just followed the crew to Bay Province, and when she was talking to Zhou Yutang on daily phone calls, she was still trying to be brave: “The movie is quite good, but it’s just not scary enough.”
Facts have proved that good-looking people are so good-looking even when they talk harshly.
“Not scary enough? Then why are you sleeping with the light on?”
“Sleeping with the light on is just because I’m afraid of the dark.” Liu Yifei raised her face confidently.
“Then what happened to that doll on your bed?”
Listening to Zhou Yutang’s obviously gentle but not very serious tone, Liu Yifei’s pointed and even goose-like cheeks in the video instantly turned pale, and she murmured: “Where is the doll? I asked my assistant to put it away.”
“I was still on your bed just now.”
“Where?”
Liu Yifei sat up from the bed and turned around to look around. Even through the screen, she could feel her heartbeat and panic.
Looking at Zhou Yutang’s narrow smile, Liu Yifei came back to her senses, pursed her lips tightly, held her little fists, and punched the camera twice.
There is no doubt that if Zhou Yutang was in front of her, these two punches would land on Zhou Yutang.
Liu Yifei was very frightened by Annabelle. Zhou Yutang also watched the finished film, but he didn’t have such strong feelings.
At that time, part of his attention was attracted by Annabelle Wallis, who played Mia in the film.
“I don’t care, you are not allowed to sleep either.”
Miss Liu was so tormented by Zhou Yutang that she couldn’t sleep at all. She sent a bunch of photos of herself in Taipei and started to change the topic.
When we talked about Bay Province snacks, Ms. Liu became particularly excited, such as Din Tai Fung’s xiaolongbao and Milk King’s papaya milk.
He couldn’t tease her anymore, so Zhou Yutang coaxed her for a long time before falling asleep.
“Annabelle” had a box office of $37.13 million in its opening weekend, which was slightly weaker than “The Conjuring.”
But this hair-raising thriller cost only US$10 million and has a good reputation among audiences, so it is easy to imagine that it will make a lot of money.
Bob, an old man, was so happy that he couldn’t even close his mouth.
The two installments of The Conjuring series were box-office hits. This is a golden mountain that can last at least 10 years.
Zou Zhongyan always pays attention to the movie information and reports as usual every day: “Yu Tang, what Bob means is that “The Conjuring 2” will be handled by James Wan.
There is also the project “Human Purge 2”, which has already begun preparations. “
“I have no objection. “Godzilla” will be officially announced soon, right?”
“It should be soon.”
Zhou Yutang did not forget to say: “Sister Zou, please tell Bob when the time comes and take care of him.”
“I understand.”
Zou Zhongyan glanced at Zhou Yutang in the video and couldn’t help but chuckle.
If a person is not romantic, his youth will be wasted.
“”Annabelle” was released in 3,185 theaters in America, with a box office of more than 11,600 US dollars per theater, and a box office of 37.2 million US dollars in its opening weekend!”
“The film ranked sixth in the first weekend list of supernatural-themed horror movies. Zhou Yutang made a lot of money in a low-key manner!”
In the Internet age, there are really no secrets. Reports from Hollywood quickly spread back to China.
Then someone revealed the film’s producer, Warner Bros. (New Line) Pictures, and the company registered by Zhou Yutang in America.
The entire film and television industry exploded.
Recently, Zhou Yutang has been keeping a low profile on the set, but there are no shortage of press releases about him.
First, there was a lot of gossip about the casting of Jin Yong’s new drama Yang Guo. After the clarification, there was another bombshell from Hollywood.
“The box office performance of The Conjuring: The Conjuring seems to be slightly weaker than that of The Conjuring, but if a small-budget horror film can have such box office success, it is sure to make a lot of money!”
Huayi’s boss, Mr. Wang, was still in a meeting trying to make the company bigger and stronger. When he received the news from the film department, he felt numb.
They are all professionals. It is not difficult to see what this box office means. Wang Zhonglei smacked his lips: “With the series “The Conjuring”, Zhou Yutang is holding a golden mountain.”
Lao Wang of the light was also indescribably envious.
The older generation of filmmakers have always had the idea of borrowing a boat to go to sea.
Zhou Yutang is really making several hit movies in a row in Hollywood. He has planted a flag on the other side of the ocean. Obviously, the climate has changed.
Due to the limited subject matter of the movie, the official media did not report on the outcome, but the news on the entertainment portal these days is all about Zhou Yutang making a fortune.
Just as the Jiangdong navy was rejoicing, another piece of information from Hollywood was transmitted back to China:
“According to Hollywood media reports, Warner’s monster movie universe has restarted. Gareth Edwards directed his first film “Godzilla” and has confirmed to invite Liu Shishi to participate in an important role!”
“Warner has officially confirmed the news. The film is about to start production and is expected to land in the mainland next year.”
The actresses in the circle have all become refined through practice.
Although it is not explicitly stated that Zhou Yutang was the matchmaker, it reminds me of Tang Dynasty’s shrewd film resource channels and the good relationship between Zhou Yutang and Warner.
Obviously, this is another handiwork of the Governor of Jiangdong.
Unfortunately, Zhou Yutang was filming on the set at this time and refused media interviews. The excited media had no choice but to interview Liu Shishi.
Liu Shishi has been busy with this matter for the past two days. The Tang Dynasty has already prepared a draft, and her response is also very appropriate:
“Well, actually it was Yu Tang who told me first when we were chatting. I thought he was joking, but when I received the official invitation from Warner, I was completely stunned. I was very surprised. This is my first time. It was a very meaningful experience to participate in a Hollywood monster movie.”
Liu Shishi, who was in the entertainment news not long ago for his role in Lao Mouzi’s “Return”, is once again at the forefront.
This time it was directly officially announced by Warner.
Liu Shishi’s status as a celebrity is not on the same level as that of those little actresses.
The female celebrities in the circle are indescribably envious.
Many people have already thought about it.
Liu Yifei is filming “Super Body”, and the project is probably in the advanced stages.
Liu Shishi also connected with all the top resources in the circle.
Everyone in the circle knows that Zhou Yutang is the man behind Shuangliu, and only the Governor of Jiangdong has such ability.
Some times.
Choice, after all, is better than hard work.
“Congratulations, Shi Shi.”
“You also have a movie about National Master, right? When will the Hollywood movie start shooting?”
The small group of The Three Beauties of Sword and Fairy has been very lively since the official announcement from Warner, and the news has not stopped.
Damimi, who was on the set of “The Legend of Ancient Swords”, and Tang Yan, who was following the business trip, all congratulated and asked.
Liu Shishi: “”Godzilla” is expected to start shooting in July. Director Zhang, it will still be two months later. I may not be able to learn to cook recently, sigh·JPG.”
Yang Mi: “.”
Tang Yan: “.”
“Sister Binbin, I will do it next time!”
Zhou Yutang was on the set, and his head was pounding after being harassed by Teacher Fan on the phone.
Teacher Fan’s information channels were very good, and he immediately knew that Zhou Yutang was the driving force behind the incident.
She used many connections and worked hard to get the role of Tin Woodman.
The results of it?
There are no more than three lines, and it’s a domestic special, so don’t be too embarrassed!
Looking at Zhou Yutang again, Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi were easily promoted to the top.
In this Vanity Fair, the feeling of going through the back door is like gambling.
As long as you experience it once and taste the sweetness, you can’t refuse it.
