China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 267: People are on the wrong road, the strongest dark horse

The entertainment reporter probably felt that his question did not touch the soul enough, so he left Zhou Yutang room for maneuver and continued to ask:

"Mr. Zhou, if Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei asked you to make a single choice, who would you choose?"

The fun-loving people on the side had their ears pricked up and were eating melon crazily.

Yes, yes, no matter which one Zhou Yutang answers, he will offend the other one.

"."

"If you don't speak, do you think they are not beautiful enough?"

Zhou Yutang had a gentle smile on his face, but in fact, he just wanted to slap the entertainment reporter away with a big blow. Suddenly he saw Li Yao with his sharp eyes, and he waved her over.
"Actually, I'm a bit face-blind and can't tell who is beautiful and who is not. But according to the public's aesthetic standards, both Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei are beautiful, and Li Yao from my company is also a great beauty."

"Mr. Zhou, do you mean that Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei are not as beautiful as Li Yao?"

The entertainment reporter was extremely excited, his mind was spinning rapidly, probably thinking about tomorrow's entertainment news front page headline.

[Zhou Yutang abandons the old love and falls in love with the new one, praising Li Yao for his purity and beauty. Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi are a thing of the past. 】

Zhou Yutang didn't give him any room to develop, and said seriously: "But I think Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi, and Li Yao all look very comfortable."

"."

Li Yao was completely confused, standing obediently next to Zhou Yutang, like a mascot, welcoming interviews from various entertainment reporters:
"Mr. Zhou, how much do you expect the box office of "The Lost Road" to be?"

"This question is left to the audience and the market to answer."

"Director Zhou, how is the filming progress of "A League of Thieves"?"

"It won't be finalized until after the new year. I also asked for leave today."

After finally dealing with the reporters, Zhou Yutang led Li Yao into the venue.

This girl had a cameo role in "Journey to the Road", and she wasn't even popular at the time.

At this time, holding Zhou Yutang's arm, which also attracted a lot of attention, Li Yao suddenly asked: "Boss, you won't go home for the Chinese New Year this year?"

"Ah."

Zhou Yutang nodded slightly.

Although he has tried his best to speed up the filming progress, according to the current situation, the finishing work will take at least ten days.

"Oh."

When Li Yao thought about not being able to go back with Zhou Yutang, he lowered his head and felt a little disappointed.

After the small talk, the premiere began soon.

The host Sabei Ning was invited to take control of the scene, and he first received a wave of interviews from the main creative staff.

Then came the film screening.

Seeing Wang Bao'er drinking milk, Zhou Yutang couldn't hold back and started laughing.

Then Xu Zheng and Wang Baohao had no choice but to team up and live in a small hotel together in order to go home. As a result, Wang Baohao snored, grinded his teeth, and had bad breath, and Bald Xu fainted.

He simply covered his head with the quilt, but Wang Baohao farted loudly under the quilt.

Bald Xu's face looked constipated.

The audience burst into laughter.

This is not over yet.

Bald Xu encountered another rape incident.

This drama invited Li Xiaoran.

Not to mention, Li Xiaoran was wearing a tight-fitting cotton sweater, revealing a small piece of fair skin at the neckline, which gave her a great advantage and gave her a full sense of young womanliness.
"Honey, don't get me wrong. I, I'm not here to catch someone raping you. I'm just here. I don't worry about you being alone outside."

"Turn on the light, open your dog eyes and give me a good look. Come on, come on, come into the house and take a look. Adulterer, adulterer, where is it?!"

"."

The young couple were bickering, and then they saw Xu Zheng, who was shivering in a pair of underpants.

Throughout the film, there were constant laughter and laughter, and the response was extremely enthusiastic.

Baldy Xu was the absolute protagonist today. He was ecstatic when he saw the audience's reaction just now. However, in the interview after the end, he was full of emotional intelligence: "First of all, thank you to Yu Tang for taking the time to come to "People on the Road" despite his busy schedule. ” premiere, he is directing the blockbuster film “A League of Thieves.”

"At that time, I got the script and went to him. I was very worried, but he readily sent me the money. I hope he won't lose money after the movie is released."

Zhou Yutang withdrew before the end and did not participate in the following cocktail party.

Originally, I wanted to ask Liu Yifei out to have a warm relationship, but classmate Xiao Liu ran away to participate in business activities out of town, so she simply returned to the crew to continue filming.

Every January and February, art academies across the country begin preparing for the art exam.

Under the operation of Jiangdong Entertainment, Gulinazha won the title of the most beautiful art candidate this year. Later, he participated in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", attracting a lot of attention both inside and outside the industry.

She is also the Nortel school beauty who has no suspense after Liu Yifei.

This is how he can steadily suppress countless girls with just one face.

Knowing that Zhou Yutang had the idea to expand the company's artist management business, Zhou Shufang was very motivated. After signing Li Jian, she would send some personal reports from students from art colleges every day.

Nortel here.

The most popular person this year is the new girl Zhou Dongyu.

Although registration for the art exam has not started yet, everyone knows that there is almost no suspense for the little yellow duck to enter Nortel.

Then, Zhou Yutang scanned around and found nothing that brightened his eyes.

After all, it's hard to find a good seedling like Guli Nazha.

The film market is a bit weak.

"New Shaolin Temple" received a box office of 1.02 million in the first week due to the fierce publicity offensive by the publisher and a top-notch star cast.

But under the influence of word-of-mouth fermentation on the Internet.

The box office in the second week was cut in half, but it was only less than 2 million. This 5000 million big production is another heavy loss.

"If Liu Dehua pinched Wang Xie's neck and the two started kissing, and then slapped him and said, Brother, I miss you so much, then I can forgive them."

"In order to deliberately express Shaolin's magnanimity and benevolence at all costs, it is artificial."

"Chen Musheng should go back to making action movies. You can't hold on to such a blockbuster."

"Master Shi, is it really expensive to hire someone to shoot a Shaolin image promotion video?"

The online reviews are almost overwhelmingly negative, and other contestants in the Spring Festival have already started popping champagne to celebrate.

The failure of "New Shaolin Temple" means that it has lost a lot of market share in Lunar New Year movies.

Everyone wants to take a bite of this incredibly sweet cake.

Enlight Pictures' Zhang Zhao formed a small group with Hong Kong's great director Chen Jiashang, Huang Baiming and several Hong Kong filmmakers.

At the end of the year party, even the champagne was opened.
"Sure! This year's Lunar New Year stalls are up to us."

Zhang Zhao, the boss of Enlight Pictures, was very excited. Chen Jiashang, Huang Baiming and others couldn't help laughing when they saw the dismal box office performance of "New Shaolin Temple".

"New Shaolin Temple" is a major production controlled by the Shaolin Group and participated by Yinghuang and Huayi. According to the current box office trend, whether it has a box office of 2 million remains to be seen.

Huang Baiming almost fainted from laughter when his close enemy fell.

He teamed up with Louis Koo, Donnie Yen, Zhang Baizhi, Liu Jiali and other luxurious cast to create the Lunar New Year comedy "The Greatest Happiness 2011", which has become the most anticipated movie at the moment.

The opponents are the Hollywood animated hero film "The Green Hornet" and the animated film "Yogi Bear" starring Jay Chou, as well as the action fantasy comedy "The Amazing Heroes" co-produced by Gu Dezhao, Sandra Ng, Louis Koo and others.

Although Jay Chou is very popular, in terms of subject matter, the Lunar New Year comedy-type film is more worth looking forward to.

"I will make a bold estimate. The box office of "The Greatest Happiness 2011" will start at 3 million. If you are lucky, there is a good chance of 4 million, and 5 million is not impossible."

"This series of movies is Director Huang's trump card. It focuses on the Lunar New Year period. There are absolutely no surprises."

"Congratulations to Director Huang on your great victory in entering the mainland."

The small group of Xiangjiang people opened champagne and naturally wanted to celebrate.

Huang Baiming and Chen Jiashang seemed to have seen the wonderful scene of dominating the Lunar New Year festival, and their faces almost broke out with laughter.

Who said that Hong Kong movies are in decline?
It will soon make Hong Kong cinema great again.

After hearing a few words of flattery, Huang Baiming felt a little carried away. He shook his red wine glass and asked with a smile: "Director Chen, when are you going to make the movie "Four Famous Catchers"?"

"The script is ready, let's cast the characters first."

Chen Jiashang also looked pleased: "Waiting for the responses from Zhou Yutang and Liu Yifei."

Huang Baiming pushed up his glasses and was surprised: "Liu Yifei is okay, Zhou Yutang's salary is not cheap. I heard that the market price is as low as 2000 million yuan. Do you want to hire him?"

"Of course, if you want to do something, do it big. It's expensive for a reason."

Chen Jiashang's analysis was clear and logical: "Guangguang has done research and now Zhou Yutang has over [-] million fans on Weibo. He is very popular among young people and has a strong positive influence on the movie box office. As long as he can be hired, Then this film is very exciting. I plan to follow the model in Hollywood and make "Four Famous Catchers" into a whole series. There will be great potential by then." Several people from Hong Kong, including Zhang Zhao, the boss of Enlight Pictures, , everyone nodded frequently.

The level of the chairman of the Academy Awards is very high.

The vision is far-reaching and the pattern is large, all of which are in line with international standards.

It was Zhang Zhao, the boss of Enlight Pictures, who said: "Zhou Yutang's "Unfortunately" also had its premiere, and it collided head-on with "The Greatest Happiness 2011"."

"Not enough to be afraid of."

Hong Kong director Chen Jiashang waved his hand and said calmly: "I have heard a little bit about this film. It was completed in the first half of this year. It was originally scheduled for the May [-]st release, but later gave way to "Sword Rain", and the schedule was pushed back again and again. Hey, Huaqi even released the copyright. It can be seen that they have no confidence in the quality of the film."

"Goodbye, Director Chen."

Another well-known Xiangjiang screenwriter laughed and said: "Xiangjiang has already failed to make comedies. I have seen his movie. The trailer is interesting, but it is too exaggerated and the movie is too small. , it is a small-budget film with an investment of 1000 million, and its star influence is seriously insufficient, so it cannot be Director Huang's opponent."

"Haha, you can't say that."

Huang Baiming's smile almost reached behind his ears, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "Zhou Yutang is still very capable. He was the producer of this film, and he showed up at the premiere and returned to the crew. It's filming, so he probably doesn't pay much attention to it."

On one side is a low-budget comedy film with an investment of no more than 1000 million, starring Xu Zheng and Wang Baohao.

On the other side is a comedy blockbuster with a total investment of more than 5500 million. It is the strongest happy event series that has created a Lunar New Year box office miracle in Hong Kong.

Strong and weak, the advantage is mine!
Huang Baiming, Chen Jiashang and others opened the champagne in advance.

Most people in the circle also think the same way.

"The film market in January is a bit sluggish. "The New Shaolin Temple" has been rushed out. "The Road" may be strangled by "The Greatest Happening 2011" and "The Green Hornet."

"But as a low-cost comedy, the trailer has good laughs. It shouldn't be difficult to recover the cost. The box office is expected to be over 3000 million, with a ceiling of 5000 million."

"Zhou Yutang doesn't seem to be starring in it, right? He's still filming the movie "Thieves"."

"It will be released soon, let's wait and see the good show."

Countless filmmakers in the circle are waiting to watch the show.

Mainly films that have been produced by Zhou Yutang before, including nominal producers.

"Those Years", which had the lowest box office, was a low-budget youth film, and eventually ranked among the top five in the box office at the time, creating a youth storm in both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

This film, "Unfortunately," is surrounded by powerful enemies, and any way you look at it, it may set a new low for his career.

At the end of January, the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nominees for the 83rd Academy Awards in Beverly Hills. For best foreign language film, "Tangshan Earthquake" was recommended by the General Administration, and "Thieves of Time" represented Hong Kong. and "Manga", which represented the Wan Province region, were all unsuccessful.

Chinese-language films have still not found a way to enter the finals at the Oscars.

In this regard.

Zhou Yutang was not surprised at all.

Although they say Oscars are fair, how can there be absolute fairness in the world?

What flavors do the judges favor over there?
Subject matter such as race, color, and gender.

Furthermore, if you want to win awards, you cannot do without public relations.

He is more concerned about "Black Swan", which is really amazing.

As the New Year approaches, the crew is finishing filming every day.

Zeng Li has also finished filming. This year she will return to her hometown in Jingcheng, Hunan Province to celebrate the New Year. She may go abroad with her sister for a trip.

Thanks to "The Legend of Zhen Huan", a hit TV series, Li Jie is now nicknamed "Empress" by insiders, and she has been connected to more than ten endorsements in one go.

The crew was a little deserted, but Fan Xiaopang was still there.

In order to attend the brand's activities, she took several leaves before the year and had several scenes. She is expected to spend the Chinese New Year with Zhou Yutang on the set.

"The box office is out!"

Zhou Yutang was communicating with Wen Muye about the shooting situation when he heard Fan Xiaopang scream.

Seeing the people next to him turn their attention to himself, Fan Xiaopang looked a little shocked: "2880 million on the first day."

"It's okay, better than "New Shaolin Temple"

Zhou Yutang nodded and said lightly.

That nonchalant look made Fan Xiaopang roll his eyes: "I hate it!"

Zhou Yutang later found out through complaints online that Teacher Fan was also one of the producers of "New Shaolin Temple".

Teacher Fan's name can be seen at the end of the movie, but according to her, when she took on the film, her remuneration was converted into investment share.

Now it seems that all her hard work was completely in vain and she couldn't even drink the soup.
“Almost 3000 million on the first day!”

Fan Xiaopang looked at Zhou Yutang with envy that was almost overflowing.

The call from Bald Xu's side also came in quickly, and he was so excited that even his voice trembled: "Yu Tang, 2880 million on the first day."

"Just saw it."

Zhou Yutang took it and chuckled softly: "Are you still in Hunan Province now?"

The production cost of "The Journey" was 1000 million, and the subsequent publicity expenses were 1800 million. Zhou Yutang even went out of his way to say hello to several theaters with good relationships, such as Han Sanping and Wanda.

There are many raptors to cross the river during the Lunar New Year period, but Zhou Yutang still has some face, and the basic film schedule will be guaranteed within a few days of the premiere. As for the follow-up film schedule, it depends on the quality of the film.

After all, the theater chain also wants to make money. If the quality is not good, it is impossible to lose money to play with Zhou Yutang.

"Yes, Bao Xi and I are here. We will go to the next cinema soon."

Xu Zheng's voice still couldn't conceal his excitement.

This film was shot in Hunan Province, so it attaches great importance to the propaganda work of Hunan Province.

After the promotion there, we continued to run road shows across the country.

He briefly reported the situation to Zhou Yutang and hung up the phone.

This is nearly 3000 million on the first day.

Bald Xu's fatigue accumulated after a day of running road shows was gone.

Excited, he punched the air.

It's a bit cold this winter.

But his heart was hotter than boiling water.

"Produced by Zhou Yutang, it is still a high-quality product. What the Chinese film market lacks is not blockbusters, but small and medium-cost films with sincerity."

"Bao E's crow's mouth really made me laugh to death. Xu Zheng is also so funny. I plan to take my family to paint it again during the Chinese New Year."

"It's funny, not pretentious. It's a bit like "A World Without Thieves" + "Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots"."

"Bao Hao drank milk before the security check. It reminded me that I once drank a whole bottle of drink before the security check."

The online ratings came out quickly, and Zhou Yutang didn't even have to check them himself. Fan Xiaopang was extremely concerned about the performance of the movie and automatically reported it next to him.
"Maoyan's rating is 9.7, Douban's rating is 8.5, and Time.com's rating is 8.2. Yu Tang, how much money do you want to make? I've seen online reviews, and they're all good reviews."

"Okay."

"Is this okay?"

Fan Xiaopang was speechless.

Nearly 3000 million on the first day, see online movie reviews.

It's clear that the future of this movie is bright.

Zhou Yutang glanced at her and filled a glass: "Among the movies I have made, the first-day box office was a little better than "Those Years"."

"you"

Fan Xiaopang rolled her eyes. If Wen Muye hadn't been there, she would have really wanted to pounce on this man and bite him to death.

But after thinking about it, Zhou Yutang was telling the truth, and she couldn't find a reason to refute it.

"Sword Rain" broke 3000 million on its first day, "Alone" and "Big Shot" broke records in a row, and "Let the Bullets Fly" was also a huge hit.

It turns out.

Teacher Fan still has a good vision. After the box office of 2880 million on the first day, the box office on the second day of release was 2 million, and the box office on the third day was 3420 million. The box office became popular all the way.

Within three days of its release, the box office of "Unfortunately" exceeded [-] million!
"This is unscientific."

It’s still this small Xiangjiang gang headed by Chen Jia Shang and Huang Bai Ming.

Only this time there was no champagne.

The smiles on their faces disappeared.

According to the movie box office data report sent by Enlight Pictures with detailed statistics, this small gang of Hong Kong people was silent, and they were all stunned.
"The box office of "Unfortunate Journey" has exceeded [-] million in three days, and it may become the strongest dark horse in the Lunar New Year festival!"
