China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 259: A $3000 literary film, you can only look up to it
Zhou Yutang, the new generation's most popular charmer.

The uppermost are women, and the lower are children in their teens.

Completely unstoppable.

"I am personally very satisfied with this drama. I feel it is [-]% as good as Farewell My Concubine."

Poet Chen was still talking loudly and giving advice.

My wife brought her son over first to say hello to Zhou Yutang.

It was an invitation letter handwritten by Chen Meiren.

Zhou Yutang can come over today.

It really makes Chen Meiren feel very proud, which can add a lot of exposure to Brother Kai's premiere.

Let’s not talk about the quality of Chen Damei’s producer.

At least when facing Zhou Yutang, that charming face always had a smile on it.

However, her child was a little shy and was a little excited when he saw Zhou Yutang. He quickly shrank behind his mother and only dared to look at Zhou Yutang secretly.

"Arthur."

Beauty Chen smiled sweetly and said softly: "Isn't Yu Tang your idol? In the future, you must learn from your idol, brother Yu Tang, do you understand?"

"Oh."

Arthur said obediently: "Hello, brother Yu Tang."

"."

Zhou Yutang touched the child's head and passively exchanged a few words with his mother.

soon.

I figured out what beauty Chen Hong meant.

Chen Meiren brought Arthur over to say hello.

It's nothing more than a familiar face.

I hope Zhou Yutang can take care of Arthur if he has the opportunity.

Now everyone in the circle knows who Zhou Yutang favors.

Many actresses dream of becoming a "fish girl" and become an instant hit.

Some entertainment families just want to build relationships and pave the way for future generations.

Zhang Zifeng, last year's Golden Horse Best Newcomer, received critical acclaim after participating in "Tangshan Earthquake" this year, and is already known as a hot child star representative in the industry.

Wu Lei and Li Gengxi's performances in "Big Shot" were also remarkable and gained a lot of exposure.

Beauty Chen Hong is also interested in paving the way for Arthur to enter the entertainment industry in the future.

Zhou Yutang was so beautiful that he said he would become a great person like Arthur, which made Chen Hong's heart elated.

In fact, he didn't take it to heart at all.

This is not my own child.

Don't worry about it.

Time has entered December, and Northeastern Wang's "Laughing in the Rivers and Lakes" and Chen Poet's "The Orphan of Zhao" were released successively.

To say that the popularity of Northeast King and Xiao Shenyang is really not overshadowed, and the movie type is lovable, it made 2000 million box office on the first day, and 6200 million box office in three days of release.

However, word-of-mouth has been polarized.

Those who like it think it's a good watch, but those who don't like it are going crazy on the Internet because Zhu Yanpin only directed bad movies and "The King of Northeast China" looks ugly.

"The Orphan of Zhao", one of the much-anticipated Lunar New Year blockbusters, was also released. The box office on the first day was about 2670 million, and the box office on Sunday was about 2440 million. The box office in the two days of the first weekend exceeded 5100 million.

Although the main producer, Fang Xingmei, boasted that this film had the eight successes of "Farewell My Concubine", the Maoyan score was only 7.82.

This is still early in the movie's release.

As word of mouth continues to ferment, this score will undoubtedly drop.

Zhou Yutang has no background control.

The audience's eyes are discerning.

""The Orphan of Zhao", another premature ejaculation by Poet Chen."

"It's disappointing. Kai Ye once again gave us an anticlimactic performance. No matter how gorgeous the picture is, it can't make up for the boring story."

"A waste of labor and movie ticket money!"

"Brother Chen Kai seems to be a self-obsessed, pretentious cultural nut. Was he really the director of "Farewell My Concubine"?"

Although Poet Chen's team has invited many online reviewers to control the score, a large number of viewers still expressed their inner dissatisfaction.

I can’t blame the audience for this.

Before the movie was even released, a press release was issued boasting that it would be [-]% as good as "Farewell My Concubine", which raised the audience's expectations.

As a result, people went to the cinema to watch it.

That's it?

Judging from this reputation, it is obviously not a work of the same level as "Farewell My Concubine".

at the same time.

Feng Xiaogang and Hua Yi also started the final round of promotion with the advertising blockbuster "If You Are the One 2".

Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly" released the last trailer before its release.

There is still a lot of useful information.

It's pornographic, violent, and shocking!

Many young viewers may not be familiar with Jiang Wen, but Zhou Yutang promoted the film on Weibo and in several interviews with the media.

Jiang Wen also mastered the traffic password.

In a recent interview, some media were curious about why the movie was called this name. He explained with a smile: "Actually, the title of this movie was given by Yu Tang after we had a drink. I personally feel very satisfied with it. I believe this movie The movie will not disappoint everyone.”

Jiang Wen bet his career confidence and ambition.

After the interview was released, it also attracted a lot of attention and discussion.

The night Zhou Yutang landed in Xiangjiang, he received a call from Jiang Wen. The voice on the other end was filled with surprise: "Yu Tang, why did you go to Xiangjiang?"

"The company here has important matters to deal with. Brother Wen, what can you do?"

Zhou Yutang found an excuse casually, and Da Meiyuan in his arms couldn't help but chuckle.

Jiang Wen definitely heard the laughter, with a hint of ridicule: "Oh, I understand, that must be a very important matter, so you must not neglect it."

"Brother Wen, what's going on with you? Why don't you sleep at night?"

"You are so romantic and happy. I have to go on various programs to promote it. Don't be too happy to miss Shu. Be sure to come back for the premiere when the time comes."

Jiang Wen was talking about the premiere of "Let the Bullets Fly."

Zhou Yutang went to attend the premiere of "The Orphan of Zhao", and Huayi also sent him an invitation to the premiere of "If You Are the One 2", and he immediately turned it down.

What a joke.

The movies he invested in, "Let the Bullets Fly" and "If You Are the One 2" are about to face each other head-on. They are direct competitors, so how can there be any reason to go over and capitalize on the enemy?
"Yu Tang, is that movie really good?"

Gao Yuanyuan found a comfortable position to lean against in Zhou Yutang's arms.

Zhou Yutang and Jiang Wen were talking about something just now, and she listened obediently without interrupting.

After the two of them finished talking, Da Meiyuan smiled and asked. Zhou Yutang posted support on Weibo a few days ago, and she also joined in the fun.

"An unquestionable classic."

"It's a pity that I can't go to the cinema with you."

Da Meiyuan sighed, feeling very sorry.

After the filming of "Anti-Drug" started, the schedule was very tight, and some scenes had to be filmed in Thailand. She might not be able to go home during the Chinese New Year this year.

"The days are long and there will always be opportunities in the future."

Zhou Yutang soothed softly, but what he was thinking about was time management.

A few days ago, I agreed to attend the closing party of "Step by Step", and by the way, I went to watch the movie with my blind sister.

"By the way, Yu Tang, do you know Shanshan?"

"What Shanshan? Yuan Shanshan?"

"No, it's Wen Yongshan."

"Who?"

Zhou Yutang's face showed just the right amount of confusion.

Gao Yuanyuan stared at this man with her longing eyes, and introduced with a smile: "It's the Hong Kong girl Wen Yongshan from our crew. It seems that she has worked with you."

"Oh, Wen Yongshan, I think about it. We did work together in "The Lonely Agent". At that time, there was Yang Ying. That girl was very enthusiastic and proactive."

"I heard from friends on the set that this Yang Ying is very restless."

Gao Yuanyuan patted Zhou Yutang and said, "Don't play with her, or you'll be led astray."

"She even asked me to go to a nightclub at that time."

The plan to divert misfortune worked, Zhou Yutang said righteously and solemnly: "Sister Yuanyuan, don't trust me yet, I am very simple and kind."

"Simple and kind, you big-headed devil."

Da Meiyuan rolled her eyes in an unladylike manner: "There have been scandals since I went to South Korea. To be honest, is Girls' Generation's Lin Yoona good-looking?"

"Does even Xiangjiang know about it?"

"You are also very popular here. Just after you returned to China, the scandal spread all over here."

"When it comes to appearance, it's just okay."

Zhou Yutang said nonsense without a red face and a heartbeat: "Of course, there is a big gap compared to Sister Yuanyuan."

"Just know how to make me happy."

Gao Yuanyuan smiled brightly, leaned her head over, kissed him on the mouth, and continued to stick out her tongue.
Zhou Yutang's visit to Xiangjiang was not entirely to see Gao Yuanyuan.

As the producer of this film, even though a producer was assigned to watch, he still had to come to the crew to personally understand the specific shooting conditions.

I have worked with director Chen Musheng and enthusiastic citizen Liu Qingyun before. Huang Xiaoming is his good brother, and Zha Zhahui among the anti-drug trio is also the best actor.

They are all professional actors, the plot is not too complicated, and the filming progress is very smooth.

Boss Yang's group went abroad for business these days, and Huo Wenxi came out to entertain Zhou Yutang.

During the dinner, we exchanged greetings and finally arrived in front of Wen Yongshan.

"Mr. Zhou, let me toast you." Wen Yongshan said secretly, biting his red lips in a teasing manner.

This was also a signal that Zhou Yutang could only get, but with Gao Yuanyuan by his side at this time, Zhou Yutang was unmoved. He raised his glass and took a sip as a response.

"Yu Tang, when will "League of Thieves" be launched?"

"It's almost there, probably by the end of this month."

Zhou Yutang chuckled leisurely and said, "I would also like to thank Boss Yang for your help."

This movie includes exterior scenes at casinos in Hong Kong and Macau, but most of the scenes were shot in mainland China.

Yang Shoucheng still had a lot of face. He got through the relationship with the gambling king of Macau and obtained the shooting permission of the casino.

"How many days will you stay in Xiangjiang this time?"

Huo Wenxi was very enthusiastic: "I will help you arrange it."

"Sister Mani, don't bother me."

Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed: "I'll go back tomorrow morning. There's been a lot going on lately, including the premiere of "Let the Bullets Fly"."

"Then we'll see you in the capital then."

Huo Wenxi smiled: "By the way, Ah Tang, a friend wants to meet you through my connection."

"who is it?"

Zhou Yutang was slightly curious.

"You'll find out later."

Huo Wenxi started to be mysterious. Seeing that Gao Yuanyuan was also concerned, he explained with emotional intelligence: "I asked you to invest in the movie."

Watching Zhou Yutang chatting and laughing with Huo Wenxi.

Wen Yongshan pursed his lips.

After learning that Zhou Yutang would return to the capital soon, she watched Gao Yuanyuan holding Zhou Yutang's arm tightly.

I can't help but feel some resentment and sadness in my heart.

tonight.

He obviously wanted to accompany Gao Yuanyuan.

We can't have three people together, right?

Zhou Yutang soon met the friend introduced by Huo Wenxi.

Director of Hui On Pictures in Hong Kong.

"Mr. Zhou, hello."

"Hello, Director Xu, last year's film "Night and Fog in Tin Shui Wai" was very exciting."

Zhou Yutang looked at the short-haired and lean middle-aged woman in front of him. Her moderately thick lips slightly raised a smile that made people feel like spring breeze.

Xu Anhua is undoubtedly a representative figure in the new wave of Hong Kong cinema.

As a heavyweight female director, she does not follow the path of commercial films.

She is in Xiangjiang, which is a bit similar to Lou Ye in the mainland.

Most of the works focus on certain corners of this era that few people pay attention to or are unable to pay attention to.

Then use your own way to show your deep concern for the bottom class.

It's just that Lou Ye's performance method is to poke people's hearts with a stinging way, but Xu Anhua's performance method is like a gentle glance that washes away the lead.

Zhou Yutang has watched both parts of "Tin Shui Wai" directed by her, and they are both good and excellent works.

A few greetings.

Courteous business exchanges.

The topic went round and round and finally came to the topic. Zhou Yutang took over the script of "Sister Tao" and after reading it, he understood the situation clearly.

Xu Anhua went all over the film companies in Xiangjiang for the book in his hand, and after Huo Wenxi's introduction, he found his head.

Zhou Yutang asked with interest: "What is the budget for this film?"

"3000."

Although Zhou Yutang was a few rounds younger than himself, his aura was very strong. Xu Anhua did not underestimate him and said nervously.

In fact, the script of "Sister Tao" has been ready for a long time. After filming "Tin Shui Wai", she has been working on this movie.

With her reputation, of course many film companies are interested.

But after looking at the results, this realistic literary film about the issues that the elderly in society are concerned about has a cost budget of 3000 million, which directly scares everyone away.

3000 million is not 3000 yuan.

Film companies are not philanthropic. If they make a literary film and don’t win awards, it is basically unrealistic to recover the 3000 million cost.

With this kind of money, he could even attract Wang Jing to make several bad movies to make money.

"Costs can be controlled."

Seeing Zhou Yutang's eyebrows raised slightly, as if he was hesitating, Xu Anhua felt a little cold: "Mr. Zhou, what do you think?"

"I think this project is very meaningful and can be done."

Zhou Yutang put down the script and took the initiative to reach out to Xu Anhua: "I wish us a happy cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

Xu Anhua was a little carried away by the surprise, but he quickly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, came to his senses, and shook hands with gratitude.

She had used a lot of connections this year and even broke her leg without investing. When she heard that Zhou Yutang was in Xiangjiang, she came to see him as if she was in urgent need of medical treatment.

But I didn't expect Zhou Yutang to nod so readily.

No wonder Zhou Yutang is now called the big water pipe in Xiangjiang.

"Director Xu, have you decided who to play?"

"Liu Dehua, Yamaguchi Momoe, Huang Qiusheng and other actors have not been decided yet."

Xu Anhua obviously had a preconceived idea in his mind, but he also had experience in the world and knew how to respect the opinions of investors: "What do you think, Mr. Zhou?"

"Brother Hua can do it, but forget about Neon actor and Huang Qiusheng."

Zhou Yutang tapped her fingers on the table: "There are many actresses with good acting skills. You can find them slowly."

"As for the script, some parts still need to be revised."

Zhou Yutang began to enter a serious state.

Come up with ideas for improvements to this script.

In addition to the breath of life, it is more interesting.

Xu Anhua obviously understood this very well. He gave a thumbs up and praised: "Best regards, Mr. Zhou!"

Knowing that Zhou Yutang was about to leave, Da Meiyuan was a little reluctant to leave, so she worked extra hard that night to let him enjoy all the tenderness.

It's not that Zhou Yutang doesn't want to stay longer, but that his schedule is very full.

It was also the chain reaction brought about by his indulging in cultivating immortality in the United States.

Although he rarely accepts business announcements at present, endorsement and advertising shoots with signed contracts are always unavoidable.

As soon as Zhou Yutang landed at the Beijing Airport, many entertainment reporters came to chase and intercept him:
"Mr. Zhou, some media in Xiangjiang said that you went to Xiangjiang to visit Gao Yuanyuan, and the two have rekindled their old relationship. What do you want to say?"

"I am the producer of the movie "Anti-Drug". I went over to check on the crew's filming progress. Sister Yuanyuan and I are good friends."

"Director Zhou, how are the preparations for "Thieves Alliance" going?"

"The preliminary preparations for "Thieves Alliance" are almost finished. Please pay attention to the official announcement for the specific launch date. A press conference will be held at that time."

After briefly answering a few questions, he broke out of the siege and replied to a few messages from Yang Mi and Tang Yan in the car. Zhou Yutang idly looked through the cat's eye.

After mentioning several improvement points to Zhang Yiming last time, he quickly led his programmers to work overtime day and night to implement them.

The Maoyan app currently has very good downloads and user feedback.

The spring season is filled with smoke. "Laughing in the River" and "The Orphan of Zhao" have exceeded [-] million in box office, and they are inextricably linked.

But this turnaround work, for which Poet Chen had high hopes, was undoubtedly a failure.

Looking at the interview news on Maoyan, one of the top three directors in China was compared to Zhu Yanping by the media.

It's just a shame.

The final landing point is estimated based on daily box office trends on Maoyan.

The total box office of Orphan of Zhao is estimated to be no more than 2 million.

Mrs. Chen's sweet dream was ruthlessly shattered.

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

Back to the capital.

Before Zhou Yutang went to see Liu Shishi, he saw Liu Shishi first.

This time Cai Yinong came to the capital for company business and stopped by Jiangdong Entertainment.

"Yu Tang, you really made a lot of money when you bought this building."

After Cai Yinong walked into Jiangdong Building, he looked around and sighed.

It's a bit like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden.

When Zhou Yutang bought the Jiangdong Building, the price was no more than 2.6 million. According to the current land price in Beijing, the market price of the Jiangdong Building is at least [-] million.

This comes and goes.

Earned nearly [-] million.

You must know that housing prices have skyrocketed.

Even though Cai Yinong wanted to sell iron and get a loan, he had to buy a building for the Tang people first.

I took Cai Yinong around several departments and looked at the vibrant and active departments.

Let’s take a look at the outstanding achievements on the wall of honor in the work showroom.

Cai Yinong felt like a lemon.

Tangren Film and Television may be regarded as the forefront of private film and television companies, but compared with today's Jiangdong Entertainment, it is not the same size at all.

Just take out the TV drama business department of Jiangdong Entertainment.

The annual profit is several times that of Tang people.

Zhou Yutang is already someone she can only look up to.
