China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 114 The Prosperity of the Celestial Dynasty, Belonging to Zhou Yutang's Good Voice
According to Teacher Yu Chenghui's arrangement, Zhou Yutang wore sandbags on his feet and waist.

In the first few days, walking was a bit heavy, but I soon got used to it. As the old saying goes, my physical condition is so good that it would be a pity not to practice martial arts.

After getting used to this intensity, Zhou Yutang specially invited a professional fitness trainer to set up recipes and additional training programs for him.

Why?

In this drama, he has a very important shot showing his abs.

The movie is expected to start filming around October, so Zhou Yutang will have to perfect his abdominal muscles during this time.

Body management is also a compulsory course for being a star.

There is no doubt about Zhou Yutang's professionalism.

He specially shared his training plan and videos with Liu Tianxian, but the girl was shocked.

She originally thought that she had worked hard enough, but she really didn't expect Zhou Yutang to be more ruthless than her.

Apart from taking a bath, I have been wearing a set of sandbags weighing several tens of kilograms on my body, and I have been training like this every day, and I also took time to participate in the Olympic rehearsals.

Liu Tianxian was completely convinced.

July.

Han Sanping was in a bad mood.

Zhou Yutang looked at Mr. Han who was sitting on the sofa and sighed several times.

No wonder.

"Red Cliff: Part 10" was released on the 7th of this month, and the box office exceeded 1.1 million only after [-] days of release.

This box office trend is worse than that of "Assembly", and it has poured cold water on Mr. Han.

How much is the investment in "Assembly Number"?

It cost several hundred million to make "Red Cliff", but the total box office of the two movies is less than 10 billion, so it is considered a failure.

According to this trend, the full film schedule has not been saved. It has been released for nearly a month, and the box office has finally exceeded 2.2 million. After that, the box office growth rate has dropped sharply. Although it is still in the theaters, anyone with a discerning eye can see it. , the market potential is almost exhausted.

The pirated version of the film has long been spread all over the Internet, and the Olympic Games, which the whole country is concerned about, is coming soon. Who would care about this film whose reputation is so low that it is outrageous?
Mr. Han looked at the ultra-low scores given by the two major professional film review websites, Time.com and Douban, and his face turned dark.

He took a sip of water from the thermos cup, shook his head and sighed.

With China Film Group as the main producer, Mr. Han placed a heavy bet on Wu Yusen.

However, Han Sanye, who has never missed a hit in the film industry, also missed it.

Mr. Han threw the box office statistics report from the department below on the table, and frowned: "Yu Tang, what do you think is the problem? Why are so many viewers not accepting it?"

"Mr. Han, I would like to express my personal understanding from the perspective of the audience."

Zhou Yutang took a sip of water: "The most serious problem is probably the flawed culture, which cannot resonate. I'm not talking about director Wu's cultural problems, but the Three Kingdoms he understands, or the Hong Kong movies. The Three Kingdoms that our audience watched, What I want to see is heroes rising together, gold and iron horses, swallowing thousands of miles, and the script is very problematic."

Han Sanping rubbed his forehead: "There is a big problem with the script. The scriptwriter Wu Yusen first wanted to find was Lu Wei."

"It's not written by Lu Wei, is it?"

Zhou Yutang asked curiously.

Lu Wei is a real master, and his "Farewell My Concubine" made Poet Chen ascend to the altar in one step.

"It didn't work out. At that time, Lu Wei asked Wu Yusen what the core theme he wanted to express in The Battle of the Red Cliff. Wu Yusen said peace. Lu Wei asked again which character he wanted to be the main core. Wu Yusen said Xiao Qiao."

"."

Zhou Yutang's expression twitched.

There is everything in the Three Kingdoms, but there is no peace.

He remembered the classic plot he saw in the movie theater with Liu Shishi: Xiao Qiao, played by Zhou Yu and Lin Zhilin, wanted to name the horse. Zhou Yu said: "It was born in the land of Jingchu, and it must be reflected in the name", Sister Zhilin thought for a while and said, "Let's call it Mengmeng."
Mengmeng, stand up.

According to Mr. Han, this plot was written by Wu Yusen's wife.

Nine screenwriters have been changed before and after this movie, and the plot confusion is inevitable.

Anyway, Zhou Yutang is not optimistic about this group of Xiangjiang directors doing such grand and grand historical themes, grand and grand war scenes, which can give the feeling of gang fights.

These remnants of the old era have no ships to carry them in the new era.

..............................

Liu Shishi flew back to Shanghai after watching the movie, and the first sister of the Tang Dynasty has a lot of announcements now.

Zhou Yutang is also busy with Olympic singing rehearsals and film special training.

Simple and fulfilling time Time always flies by quickly.

July passed in a blink of an eye, and finally came the day that attracted the attention of the whole world.

Zhou Yutang specifically asked Mr. Han for two additional internal tickets to the core area, so that Zhou Zhengping and Wang Fengqin could watch the event in person.

When time turned to that moment.

Gorgeous fireworks surrounded the stadium and bloomed like flowers above the bird's nest.

A huge sundial emerged, and the light of time emitted by the sundial lit up the giant fou array.

When thousands of people beat the fou and shouted, Zhou Yutang was standing there.

He really felt the resonance frequency of thousands of people, and even the earth was shaking slightly.

Zhou Yutang was extremely shocked by that magnificent scene, and couldn't help admiring it.

To play such a big scene, you have to be a national teacher.

In other words, Zhang Yimou and the entire behind-the-scenes team are the biggest contributors.

It took them years to conceive the layout, and from the opening ceremony onwards, every second was filled with the imagination and romance of the Chinese people.

The moveable type printing skills shocked everyone, the picture scroll was unfolded, the holy fire was lit, and Zhou Yutang's blood was faintly boiling.

These few exquisite programs, in a sense, tell the inheritance of China's 5000-year splendid culture, and also symbolize the rich heritage of the great clan.

In the words of Director Zhang, that is, "different snowflakes from all over the world gather in the capital and become a common snowflake for mankind."

Before today, the Celestial Dynasty was in a period of dormant development, and did not open its doors to see the whole world.

The vision of Chinese people has always been limited to the previous era.

Many people have a strange mindset.

I feel that China is backward, and the moon in foreign countries is particularly round, and even the air in the United States is sweet.

But after this event that attracts worldwide attention, the eyes of the whole world will gradually focus on this big eastern country, and some people will gradually wake up.

"Mr. Liu Huan, hello."

Zhou Yutang also met the great artist Liu Huan, who sang with British singer Sarah Brightman at the opening ceremony, and said hello politely.

"Hehe, hello Xiao Zhou."

Teacher Liu Huan was kind-hearted and generous. He came up to greet Zhou Yutang, shook hands and hugged him, and patted him on the shoulder familiarly.

The two sat and chatted for a while backstage, and then asked him to perform well during the closing ceremony, which made Zhou Yutang a little flattered.

"Brother Huan, why are you so polite to that kid?"

On the way back, Brother Huan's assistant was a little surprised.

According to Liu Huan's status in the music scene, the younger generation should take the initiative to greet him.

"Haha, this little Zhou, Datian has listened."

Liu Huan smiled and pointed to the roof of the car with his chubby fingers.

"Hold the grass!"

The assistant spat out only one word.

The status of the rivers and lakes is very important, but sometimes it is not important.

The big leaders think that the person is a talent, and that is the talent that needs to be well formed.

..............................

"Yu Tang, you know Liu Huan? Yesterday he dragged you to talk for a long time."

In Jiangdong Studio, Li Shuang looked at Zhou Yutang suspiciously for a long time.

"I really don't know."

Zhou Yutang was also baffled, but he quickly recalled it: "I remember Mr. Han said that some leaders are very optimistic about me, maybe it has something to do with it."

"It's possible, Mr. Liu Huan is also an old Jianghu. You should appear on variety shows more in the future. Yang Mi and Tang Yan went crazy on variety shows last month, which brought a lot of traffic to the show "Classmates""

"By the way, Miss Shuang."

Just thinking about Teacher Liu Huan's amiable smile, when he heard Li Shuang talking about variety shows, Zhou Yutang had a flash of inspiration in his mind. He suddenly sat upright in the office chair and asked with a little excitement: "You said Jiangdong Studio does it?" How about a variety show?"

"variety show?"

Li Shuang was slightly taken aback: "What type of variety show?"

"It's a music talent talent show."

Zhou Yutang took a piece of paper and drew a few strokes on the paper: "Look, here is the stage, and below it is the judges' seat. They sit in a special chair, let them face the stage with their backs, and only listen to the singer singing on the stage. "

"If the singer's singing on the stage can impress the judges, then the judges will press a switch on the chair to make the chair turn around"

"This model is a bit novel."

Li Shuang was just listening, but he was attracted immediately: "Yu Tang, I probably understand what you mean. You don't rely on the singer's appearance, but let the judges choose the singer based on their singing voice. After that?"

"after?"

Zhou Yutang laughed softly: "Let a few judges be mentors, and those selected by him will join his team, and then each mentor team will enter the second stage after it is full."

"The second stage is to let the instructor go through professional training, let the players of his team perform on the same stage, and then select the most promising players among them."

"Then start the PK between several tutor teams, to see which team can teach students that can gain more recognition from the audience."

"Hearing what you said, I'm looking forward to this show."

Li Shuang listened fascinated, but also raised a question: "Yu Tang, but there is a very important question, we are not a TV station, even if the program is produced, there is no place to broadcast it in the end?"

"What does it matter?"

Zhou Yutang smiled lightly and said, "We can find someone to cooperate with. This program cannot be supported by our own studio alone. I just calculated that the initial investment will be at least [-] million."

"One hundred million?"

Li Shuang's pupils were shocked.

"Yes."

Zhou Yutang said slowly: "According to my idea, this program should be done well, the audio equipment should be purchased from abroad with the most advanced equipment, and a few highly respected mentors should also be invited, which is also a considerable expense."

"You're playing really hard."

Li Shuang murmured: "The production costs of Super Girl and Fast Boy are not so expensive. Who are you going to cooperate with? Mango TV? I have a good relationship with you over there."

"I can make it myself."

"Yu Tang, although this show sounds very attractive, I still hope you can think carefully about it. Now Jiangdong Studio has not yet reached the stage where you can just take [-] million yuan to invest in a variety show."

Li Shuang tactfully advised.

There are tens of millions of working capital in the studio's account, and there are still a lot of follow-up income from several popular dramas due to the long-tail effect.

If you grit your teeth and ask for a loan from the bank, you can get [-] million.

But how does doing so differ from gambling?
Li Shuang, who believes in making progress while maintaining stability, of course wants to give advice.

Zhou Yutang smiled mysteriously: "Sister Shuang, you will know in two days."

..............................

Zhou Yutang has been practicing hard in the past two days according to Yu Lao's method, and he has not been left behind in the gym. He also took time to watch the Olympic Games with Lao Zhou and Ms. Wang.

Lian Shun took a tour of the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square and several scenic spots in the capital.

For Ms. Wang Fengqin, who grew up in the south, she saw another world, and she was so novel and happy.

Mainly because I saw that Zhou Yutang was promising, and I felt even more relieved.

Lao Zhou bought a batch of Olympic souvenirs to take home, and planned to give them to the students of the local impoverished primary schools.

Zhou Yutang's project to help local poor students was handed over to Zhou Zhengping, and it was running in good condition.

Two days later.

Tian Ming arrives in Beijing.

This time he brought Zhu Jie to Beijing to watch the Olympics.

When they arrived in the capital, they made a direct phone call to Zhou Yutang, and the two got together as usual.

"Yu Tang, how is the later stage of "Latent"?"

"The later stage will be finished this month, and it is estimated that the trial broadcast will be almost ready in October."

"Now your project, the whole circle is staring at it, remember to say hello next time if you have any project, I am very interested in working with you."

Tian Ming laughed.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

The golden sign of Jiangdong Studio has already been launched. "Latent" has attracted a lot of attention even before filming started. Several TV stations are still thinking of taking action in advance, but Zhou Yutang did not nod.

The theme of the main theme belongs to the film and television category strongly advocated by the above. With the quality of "Latent", there is no need to worry about selling it. It is better to wait for the production of the film to be completed and wait for several TV stations to bid to earn a lot of money.

"Brother Ming, when you mentioned the project, I have an idea."

Zhou Yutang said directly: "How about we put on a variety show together?"

When Sister Shuang said that she needed a first-line cooperation platform, he immediately thought of Tian Ming.

This program, if done well and very profitable, will definitely attract some people's covetousness.

Then someone with a background is needed to protect him. Tian Ming's background is unfathomable and he is a good partner.

"What do you think."

Tian Ming was also slightly taken aback, and assumed a listening posture. After Zhou Yutang finished part of the program of the variety show, he immediately became interested.

"This idea is very interesting. It can be said that it is a music competition program that has never appeared in China. It is also a highlight to find amateurs through auditions."

Two clusters of light burst out from behind Tian Ming's glasses: "However, the investment is not small. Top-notch foreign audio equipment, and a music tutor. What do you want to do?"

"We will do it together, each of us will do half of it. When the time comes, we will make it and sell it to the TV station."

"It can be operated."

Tian Ming is a professional after all, and he quickly sensed the business opportunities: "This year, talent shows have all disappeared. If this program is done well, it will definitely win over this young audience's ratings market, but there are some details, I think Not perfect yet”

"For example, in the first link you mentioned, I think there can be more interaction between the host and the singer to make it more interesting."

"In this case, we can have an off-site connection in the first session, and when the time comes, those singers who have passed the audition to the blind audition can bring their relatives or friends."

Zhou Yutang added: "Insert some interview clips, and you can also place cameras in the background to record the expressions of relatives and friends when some players are selected by the instructor or when no one turns around for them. You can also record the interaction between the instructors competing for students, which can mobilize the audience very well. The emotions can also make the program more interesting."

"In the second round, we can film some tutors, record songs and make music with the students, and some life clips during the adaptation process, so that the audience can see the real life state, and also see that the tutors are students who have really been trained with heart. They compete in pairs, and whoever wins will be able to advance to the next stage."

"Yu Tang."

Tian Ming slapped his thigh and couldn't help laughing: "You have so many ideas, why don't you stop being a star and just do a show with me."

"Brother Ming, let me forget it."

Zhou Yutang shook his head: "I can make some money by doing this show. My main business is film and television projects. When the Olympics are over, I still have a movie to make."

"What did the instructor of the show say?"

"Four please, let's divide into four groups."

"That way, two in the Mainland, one in Xiangjiang, and one in Ben Province."

Tian Ming pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked at Zhou Yutang's slightly astonished expression: "It's good for unity. What's your opinion on the specific candidate?"

It is worthy of being a talent cultivated by a big family. With this ideological awareness, if you are not superior, who will be superior?
Zhou Yutang admired him very much, and suggested: "As for the tutor, you must have a certain amount of popularity and respect. In the mainland, you can invite Liu Huan, Princess Wang, Xiangjiang Chen Yixun or Zhang Xueyou. If you want to save money, it is best to invite Zhou Jielun. If you take a step back, Harlem is very good. It will create an atmosphere."

"The princess has retired from the circle, and will she come out to do shows?"

"Take money and throw it away. A few million won't work, so let's throw 1000 million. I really don't believe that she can't be tempted. If it's really out of this world, then hire someone else."

Zhou Yutang disagreed.

Money is still very valuable these days.

The endorsement fees of superstars like Fa Ge and Andy Lau from Tianchao Xiangjiang would not exceed [-] million a year.

"Spicy English?"

"It's not very good, the reputation is enough, but the background is too complicated, and it is easy to cause problems. If it doesn't work, please invite Mao Amin, the first lady in the music scene in the 90s. When the ratings come, I will kill three generations of old, middle-aged and young people!"

"There is a boss, my old man likes this one."

Tian Ming pushed his glasses, and said cheerfully, "Ah Tang, I'll get it right with the TV station first, what's the name of our show?"

"Just call it Good Voice, Heavenly Dynasty Good Voice."

"That's a good name!"

Tian Ming was very excited, he seemed to have seen the great potential of this show.

Zhou Yutang looked calm.

Just said silently in my heart.

This is my voice from heaven.
