China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 282: Who is favored, who is popular, duel with great directors

Jackie Chan wants to promote the crown prince to the throne.

It’s not just a matter of a day or two.

Use all kinds of human resources to pave the way for him.

As long as Prince Long had some energy, he wouldn't be like this.

After all, the mud cannot support the wall.

Jackie Chan took the initiative to show his kindness to Zhou Yutang and introduced Prince Long by the way, also wanting Zhou Yutang to lead him.

If he can appear in a film by a great commercial film director like Zhou Yutang, even if he is a supporting role, it will be enough for the Dragon Prince to be plated with several layers of gold.

Prince Long looked respectful on the surface, but in reality he was a bit arrogant and looked like a dick.

Reincarnation is really a technical job.

Zhou Yutang didn't pay much attention to him.

We are not all from the same place.

Can't play together.

After the TV drama market in March was ravaged by the bloody drama "The Temptation of Going Home", the emergence of a fresh and sweet pet TV drama healed the hearts of many viewers.

"Shanshan Is Coming" premiered with a ratings of 1.95%. Just a few days after it aired, the average ratings soared to 2.65%, unsurprisingly ranking first in the Jiangsu Satellite TV region.

It is far from "The Temptation of Going Home", but according to the current trend, with further marketing, it is only a matter of time before the ratings exceed three.

As soon as the ratings came out, Zhou Ningfeng called to announce the good news.

He definitely has reasons to be happy.

Because of the low cost of this drama, Zhou Yutang is not involved, so the price of a single episode is not high, only 100 million.

But with such ratings, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a hit drama. It has a great influence on the Internet. Jiangsu TV Station definitely made a big mistake.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yutang took a look at the comments on the Internet.
"The costumes and styles of the characters are really great. In the dramas written by Zhou Yutang, there are no crotch-stretching characters in Fu Hua Dao."

"Although Zhou Gou is a playboy, he has really good taste. Zhao Liying doesn't look like a great beauty, but she is quite cute and adorable."

"The fireflies came uninvited in 20 years. Zhou Yutang is really a god. He can make anyone famous. In fact, Xiao Zhao has not been easy in recent years."

"I love Zhu Yilong's temperament as a domineering president."

"Why did I want to laugh when Brother Long said he wanted to contract fish ponds, hahaha."

The TV series became a small hit when it first aired, and the Internet was also very lively.

At this stage, Jiangdong Entertainment has built a golden reputation. As long as it is a TV series produced by Jiangdong Entertainment, it will bring discussion and popularity.

"Shanshan Is Here" is also a show about how a domineering president falls in love with Cinderella, but it is not as bloody, sadistic, and outrageous as previous youth idol dramas.

Overall, the style tends to be fresh and cheerful, with a lot of humor and fun.

The obstacles of other people in the play are basically all kinds of good or bad assists to the male and female protagonists.

of course.

To say that the heroine Xue Shanshan is a Cinderella means that compared to the conditions of the male protagonist Feng Teng, she would definitely stand out among ordinary people.

A college student who graduated from 211, looks sweet and cute, and has also passed the CPA exam. The heroine with these conditions is an excellent girl in her own right.

And in addition to his own excellence, he also has beautiful qualities such as kindness and optimism.

The whole drama can be regarded as a relatively inspirational heroine's growth process. Xue Shanshan, played by Zhao Liying, continues to improve herself through the problems and difficulties she encounters on the road of love.

While becoming better, they also gain love, which makes female audiences feel deeply involved.

"Shanshan is a little sun, full of positive energy!"

When Zhao Liying wore a ball on her head, doing aerobics and chanting slogans, her cute, lively, positive and beautiful image directly captured a large audience.

"Zhao Liying, isn't this Gu Yixin among our classmates?"

"Boss, does holding yourself to death count as a work-related injury? I almost died laughing."

"After eating with my boss for three months, I gained more than ten pounds. Haha, Xue Shanshan, you are so cute."

"Xiao Zhao flies bravely, and the fireflies will always be with him."

Like Liu Shishi's little lion, Yang Mi's bee, and Li Yao's Qinying, Zhao Liying also has her own fan title.

Firefly is Zhao Liying’s fan title.

However, she was not a big hit before and had only played some supporting roles in hit dramas. The one everyone is familiar with is Gu Yixin, a classmate who wants to become a successful businessman.

Compared to those popular beauties, the number of fireflies is not that many.

But after the broadcast of "Shanshan Is Coming", Miss Zhao's fan base has been growing visibly to the naked eye.

Who doesn’t like a cute, cute girl full of positive energy?

"I just received the ratings report from Yu Tang. I am very happy that everyone likes this TV series. "Shanshan Comes to Eat" is also a work that I personally like very much. Every character in the TV series This character is like my child.

Before starting this drama, I had a lot of private conversations with Yu Tang, including casting, including the plot, and I also personally participated in the screenwriting work, and learned a lot from Yu Tang, a gold medal screenwriter."

"I hope to bring you a fun, funny and sunny feeling, and show everyone the beauty of love. Zhao Liying brought Shanshan in the book to life."

"In addition, the copyrights of several of my other novels are also in Yu Tang's hands. I am looking forward to film and television adaptations such as "Why Sheng Xiao Mo" and "A Smile Is Alluring".

After "Shanshan Is Here" became popular, Gu Man posted a message on Weibo, and Zhou Yutang also deliberately liked and replied, giving her enough face.

to be frank.

The female author Gu Man is a bit difficult to deal with.

The company pushed back and forth for a long time, and finally Zhou Yutang came forward in person to get her done.

It's impossible to follow the novel exactly.

The plot in the novel is thin, Shanshan is too silly and sweet, relies too much on Feng Teng, and lacks independence.

Zhou Yutang held several meetings with the screenwriting department and worked hard to maintain the sweet tone of the entire drama and flesh out Xue Shanshan's character.

Finally, let Xue Shanshan in the play finally become independent and strong, and fill out the plot in this direction, making Xue Shanshan's character more full and three-dimensional, and also improving the level of the entire play.

"Boss, my Weibo followers have increased by 10,000+ followers every day. Did the company buy me followers?"

Zhao Liying took the initiative to call and inquire. Her unbelievable and cute tone made Zhou Yutang dumbfounded.

Nowadays, not all Weibo fans are living people.

There are many working teams of celebrity artists who, in order to make their artists look popular, will buy attention, comments, likes and the like.

"The company never engages in such evil practices."

Zhou Yutang smiled and said, "This drama has brought you popularity. You are going to become popular."

He got a more complete data report from the company.

It’s not just domestic social platforms that have seen a crazy increase in fans, the price of Zhao Liying’s business announcements has also skyrocketed. She has also received several endorsements, and the price is at least several times the original price.

"Am I going to be angry?"

Zhao Liying was mumbling, and she didn't even hear Zhou Yutang pouring chicken soup for her. After hanging up the phone, she was still a little confused.

A few years ago, when I was debuting on Sohu Souxing, I had great ambitions and had a dream of making my debut a hit.

But reality and life gradually smoothed the edges of her body.

Now Zhao Liying just wants to take every step down-to-earth.

She suddenly felt grateful.

Being brought to Jiangdong Entertainment by Zhou Yutang really changed his destiny.

If he hadn't given her a hand, maybe she would still be playing a small role in various crews.

"Xiaoying, you are really popular now!" Xiao Xu, the assistant next to him, was excitedly browsing the online comments, grinning from ear to ear: "I read the comments, and many of them praised you for being cute, your micro The blog account has gained 10,000+ fans in one day. If this trend continues, the number of fans will soon exceed one million."

As the personal assistant assigned to Zhao Liying by the company's artist management department, Xiao Xu's personal performance bonus is linked to Zhao Liying's development.

Now that Zhao Liying's drama is a hit, she can also get a lot of bonuses this year.

And watching Zhao Liying slowly become popular with his own eyes also filled Xiao Xu's heart with a sense of accomplishment.

"Xiao Xu, when we finish work today, let's have hot pot together to celebrate."

"You can't eat spicy food. You are still on the set filming, otherwise your face will be swollen tomorrow. It will be strange if Director Xue doesn't scold you."

"If you don't like spicy food, just order the tomato pot base. I'll treat you."

Xiao Xu was originally about the same age as herself, so Zhao Liying held her and had a lot of conversation.

"Sister Zhao, it's time for you to put on your makeup."

While talking, the makeup artist also came over to call someone.

"Hey, here we come."

Zhao Liying stood up immediately, feeling a little emotional.

The attitude of the senior makeup artist seemed to have changed a lot compared to some time ago.

When she first joined the group, she kept calling herself Xiao Zhao.

just now.

It's Miss Zhao.

"Brother Tang, Brother Long wants to support you, hahahaha."

The only one who can joke with Zhou Yutang so brazenly is Zhang Ruojun.

At this time, he was still on the set of "33 Days After Love", but he was smiling like a husky, and his barbell-like laughter came through the phone.

This was originally a line from "Shanshan is Coming".

"You need to let everyone know that this fish pond is contracted by you."

I want to contract the entire fish pond for you, which means I only like you. I want to contract you, and you only belong to me.

This is Feng Teng spreading dog food with Xue Shanshan.

But after the show became popular, many netizens started making memes on the Internet, and various emoticons followed.

It just so happened that Zhou Yutang's name had the same pronunciation as fish pond, so Zhu Yilong took Zhou Yutang under his wing.

"I suddenly felt that the role in "Reply" was not very suitable for you."

"Brother Tang, I was wrong. You are my brother."

Zhang Ruojun's laughter stopped suddenly, and he gave in very spinelessly, saying weakly: "Her name is Tang Yixin."

How could a father care about his son?
Zhou Yutang naturally didn't take it to heart: "How did you feel about filming "33 Days After Love"?"

"It's okay, Brother Tang. I just have to act like a sissy. It's a bit painful."

"Come on, I'm optimistic about you."

Zhou Yutang also smiled slightly.

The male lead in that drama, Wang Xiaojian, was very layered.

She looks like a weak sissy, but underneath her cynical appearance, she is actually stable and mature on the inside.

After a few brief chats, Zhang Ruojun was called by his assistant to go shoot.

He has sent his royal producer Chen Xi to the crew of "33 Days After Love".

We need to speed up the progress there. "Reply 1997" is already in preparation, and Zhang Ruojun will be the male lead again. Then the second season of the national variety show Running Man is also in preparation, and he is the regular host of the show. .

Following Zhou Yutang, there are too many resources.

I was almost full even after eating the cake.

This is also the trouble with happiness.

China Film Corporation quickly released schedule news for several movies.

Zhou Yutang's "Thieves" and Chen Kexin's "Martial Arts" will have a head-to-head confrontation in early July.

This is also the first time that Zhou Yutang has faced off against the long-established Hong Kong director since he was promoted to a major domestic commercial director.

The news of the film's scheduled release has just been released, and many netizens inside and outside the industry are looking forward to it.

Chen Kexing also has a bright aura about him.

Since his debut, it has been smooth sailing. "Sweetie", which became a hit in Asia, made him famous and rich. Later, he directed the romantic movie "Love Letter" for Spielberg's DreamWorks.

For such a great director who has won three Best Director awards and is only one short of achieving the three-win Grand Slam, his works are naturally worth looking forward to.

When Director Chen attended a business event with his wife, Thirteenth Sister, he was interviewed by the media and asked about Zhou Yutang's astonishing salary and the idea of ​​"Thieves" competing against the summer release at the same time.

"I'm not familiar with Zhou Yutang. If his salary is really high, then congratulations to him. Every time I'm interviewed, it's about actors comparing their salaries, or about scandals. To be honest, it's boring."

Chen Kexing showed his style as a great Hong Kong director: "I don't care about "Thieves". Anyway, I am very confident in "Martial Arts". I also watched "Sword Rain" made by Zhou Yutang last year. The film was very good, but still There are many flaws, and I want to use this movie to change the status quo of martial arts-themed movies."

"Director Chen, last time you spent 4300 million to build a city. This time, a straw hat costs 6000 US dollars. Isn't it too extravagant?"

“Money is earned, not saved.”

Chen Kexing's face darkened.

"You all say that "Thieves Alliance" has a luxurious lineup, and our cast is not bad either."

Seeing the opportunity, Thirteenth Sister brought the topic back and joked: "Zhou Yutang is recognized as the ceiling of Asian beauty. I think Wu Jingcheng is the most handsome. Donnie Yen and Tang Wei are also very popular gods and goddesses, and "Martial Arts" "Before the filming was completed, it was already popular abroad. I think it is quite advantageous."

Previously, "Martial Arts" was still being filmed. Qin Hong, the CEO of Xingmei Pictures, the main producer, released the news that "Martial Arts" will have its finale at the American Film Market (AFM), the world's largest film trading market. The film has not been completed. Overseas copyrights are expected to sell for sky-high prices, building up the film's momentum.

He really dared to brag.

In contrast, "A League of Thieves" has not issued many press releases. According to the established film promotion plan, promotion is expected to begin in May.

All popular domestic variety shows, including prime time commercials from several first-tier TV stations, etc.

Work steadily and steadily, no one should be missing.

Zhou Yutang naturally received interviews from many media.

Cheating is very common in the entertainment industry. The media asked Zhou Yutang what he thought of "Martial Arts" in order to find breaking news.

"I have nothing to say. When the time comes, the market will give the best answer."

Zhou Yutang's response was very calm.

However, the media suppressed them all, but his millions of Jiangdong naval officers could not bear it anymore and attacked them everywhere on the Internet.

"The old and new generations of great directors have a head-to-head dialogue about the summer season. Director Chen is sure to win."

"This time I support the governor as the speaker."

"Chen Kexing has been in the industry for decades and has profound director skills, so I am optimistic about Zhou Yutang."

"Martial arts is a big cast company worth 2000 million U.S. dollars. Do you understand the value of Director Chen's straw hat worth 6000 U.S. dollars?"

"I read the news from Pinfang that the cost of co-producing the blockbuster "Thieves" is actually not as good as "Martial Arts". Where did Director Chen spend so much money?"

The Internet immediately became a quarrel.

Even before these two movies were released, there was already a lot of smoke.

And at this time.

Zhou Yutang also received news that shocked him.
