China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 481 Celebrating, Rejecting

"Now You See Me" is still killing people in the movie market, and there is another good news.

The Berlin Film Festival has just announced the first list of selected films. "Hunting" produced by Soochow Pictures and directed by Zhang Yimou is among them.

Since the dispute between the two Zhangs, Zhang Weiping has been unable to find this person in the entertainment industry. Instead, Zhang Yimou has a tendency to regain the prestige of the great director because he has boarded the big ship of Jiangdong Entertainment, and a movie has returned to Berlin.

The Berlin Film Festival officials are also very considerate, and Zhang Yimou is featured on the homepage of the website.

In the second week after "Now You See Me" was released, the box office trend inevitably dropped. Many viewers who should have watched it have already seen it. The daily box office dropped to just over 30 million, overtaken by Jackie Chan's "Zodiac" .

This also relieved other film and television companies in the industry.

But there is also unspeakable envy and jealousy.

Zhou Yutang is too evil.

Only two weeks after its release, the movie's box office has already exceeded the 10 billion mark. In less than three weeks, it broke the record of "Avatar".

If you make youth dramas, then you will collectively set up projects to make youth dramas. If you switch to making costume dramas, capital will pour into the film and television industry, and various large-scale costume dramas will spring up like mushrooms after a rain.

Major TV stations have successively announced their new year's dramas, and most of them have chosen costume themes as next year's new year's dramas.

"'Now You See Me' just broke the record, and the Governor's TV series is coming soon."

For example, several TV stations broadcast a drama together, but one station started broadcasting it early, stealing the ratings from other satellite TV stations.

The trailer is beautifully edited, and the several Chinese-style posters also have a great sense of design.

This also means that Zhou Yutang's agreement with the theater chain will enjoy 45% of the box office share.

Also starring Liu Kaiwei, Yuan Shanshan, Char Siew Fen and others, the Qing Dynasty drama "Mountains and Rivers - Beauty Without Tears" will also be launched on Gan Province Satellite TV at the beginning of the year.

A large number of people may choose to pay attention not because of Zhou Yutang's fame or the luxurious lineup of the TV series, but because of the excellent reputation of the TV series produced by Jiangdong Entertainment.

"Okay, boss."

When I'm not working on the set to catch up on filming, I'm also working on various endorsements.

The TV series "Hero Cao Cao" starring Zhao Lixin, Han Hao, Ku Juji and others is also the first-line TV drama to open the year. There are also "Lanling King" starring Feng Shaofeng and Lin Yichen, "Phoenix Peony" starring Tan Yaowen, Michelle and others, Hu "Jian Yuan Fengyun" starring Jun and Charmaine Sheh, "Legend of Mulan" starring Hou Mengyao and Guo Pinchao and other dramas.

Zhou Yutang is meticulous in his work, so naturally he will not let such a thing happen.

Although the lineups of the above-mentioned major dramas are luxurious, they are not as good as the four-channel broadcast of "Celebrating More Years". Moreover, Zhou Yutang has swept Asia and topped the Chinese box office rankings.

If the Lunar New Year stall is a battlefield full of smoke in the film industry, then the opening of the New Year stall is a battleground that TV stations must compete for.

"I'll go, Chen Daoming plus Zhou Yutang, the quality is not bad, please support me."

In the middle is a bright red bamboo barrier.

Huizhou Satellite TV did not make a desperate bet on "Celebrating More Than Years" this time because the TV station's film purchasing department has spent huge sums of money in advance to purchase "Legend of Chu and Han" directed by Gao Qianqian and starring Chen Daoming and Peter Ho. This drama will be released in The first shot of the new year will be launched on the screen on December 12th.

Outside the isolation zone, there was a huge crowd of people, all of whom were media reporters from the circle.

All kinds of long guns and short cannons kept clicking and taking pictures, and the flashlights lit up without stopping.

The end of the year is approaching.

Talk about heat.

The release of various promotional materials immediately caused an uproar on the Internet.

The most impressive thing is probably one of the posters, which uses a superimposed image to show Qing Emperor Chen Daoming's profile on the left, and the silhouette behind is matched with Zhou Yutang's superior profile.

Jiangdong Entertainment has produced numerous hits in the past few years, and its fan base among passers-by is quite solid.

You can even go further up.

And looking at this box office trend, there is almost no suspense about raising the domestic movie box office record to 15 billion.

"Ni Ni, please contact the people in charge of those TV stations."

On the way to the celebration banquet, Zhou Yutang glanced at the preview materials and did not forget to tell him: "The four broadcast stations must agree on the broadcast time and don't cause any trouble."

It has a unique ancient charm and texture.

Since you can't predict the market and can't cross the river by feeling the stones, then follow Zhou Yutang across the river.

"It's such a blessing to be a fan of Zhou Yutang's drama."

There are so many historical dramas appearing together, not including Huang Xiaoming's "Jing Zhong Yue Fei" and Da Tiantian's "Glory of the Tang Dynasty", which were deliberately postponed to avoid the edge of "Celebrating More Years".

Ni Ni, who was wearing a professional skirt, nodded.

According to Zhou Yutang's idea, the celebration party for "Now You See Me" was held in a low-key manner. After all, at the end of the year, artists are very busy.

Mainly because various film and television companies are eyeing Jiangdong Entertainment's projects.

"On December 12th, "Celebrating More Than Years" will be with you all."

Dynasty Hotel.

The red carpet was pulled up grandly at the door.

Beijing.

The TV station is also in deep trouble, and may engage in some saucy maneuvers for the sake of ratings.

The on-screen theme at the beginning of this year is bloody battles in various costume dramas.

But Han Sanping likes big scenes, so it’s up to him, so there are many big names in the circle.

Huayi Mr. Wang was also invited by the third master. He wanted to blend in with the crowd in a low-key manner, but he was caught by the sharp-eyed Wang Changtian: "Mr. Wang, why didn't you say hello when you came here?"

"Haha, congratulations, Mr. Wang."

Mr. Huayi Xiaowang opened his mouth and his tone was even more sour than Shanxi vinegar: "Light's stock price has really gone crazy recently."

"Haha, go up a little!"

The corners of Wang Changtian's mouth turned up, which was even harder to suppress than AK.

Is that called a small increase?

Mr. Huayi Xiao Wang's expression twitched slightly, and he really wanted to punch the frustrated old Wang Bangbang twice. Xiaogangpao failed this time. "1942" was well received but not a box office hit, and the final box office was fixed at 2.28 million.

When Feng Xiaogang coughed, Huayi caught a cold. Huayi's market value evaporated by 13 billion yuan in a short period of time!

Since "Now You See Me" was released during the Lunar New Year holiday, Raytheon's stock price has soared by 38%, and its total market value has increased by more than one billion.

For listed companies, box office revenue from commercial blockbusters is not the most important thing. Companies benefiting from large-scale projects can bring greater benefits at the capital level.

"It's better to rely on Yu Tang."

Wang Changtian felt so comfortable after pretending to be mellow in front of his opponent, and walked into the banquet hall holding Wang Zhonglei's shoulders.

Han Sanping spoke in a mellow tone, but Zhou Yutang didn't play it off and went straight to the red envelope.

"Now You See Me" brought him unimaginable personal honors and promoted him to a super first-line commercial film director. The creative team in front of and behind the scenes also contributed a lot.

Not only did big-name actors like Hu Ge and Deng Chao, who had their own pay cuts, receive red envelopes, but so did Guangtou Xu, who came to guest star, and the entire Jiangdong team behind the scenes staff also received red envelopes.

The media reporters present all had red envelopes. Of course, the amount was not large, so they felt a little happy.

There is a reason why Zhou Yutang maintains a good relationship with the media. When the media receive money, they must say good things for him. This is also an unspoken rule in the industry.

"Boss Zhou is awesome!"

More than 10 million red envelopes were given out that night, and the news headlines on the entertainment page for the next day were already scheduled.

Of course, he did not pay for this alone.

Both Guangguang Lao Wang and Boss Yang were happy to spend money. Boss Yang's 5 million film and television projects continued to suffer losses. Yinghuang Group's Hong Kong stock market plummeted. After "Now You See Me" was released, as soon as the press release was released, the stock price instantly swept away the middle-aged people. Men's weakness.

"Everyone, eat well and drink well. We won't get home until we get drunk tonight."

After Zhou Yutang greeted the boss of the dynasty, a certain second generation in the capital, he was dragged to talk by Han Sanping.

Cai Yinong from the Tang Dynasty was also there,

"Mr. Han, let me toast you."

Lao Cai is also a hero among women. He is unequivocal. He can drink a few Maotai drinks with his head raised and drink it.

"Mr. Cai."

Mr. Han narrowed his eyes and smiled: "How are Hu Ge's schedule arranged?"

Lao Cai's attitude was unusually respectful: "If you want to hire people, there will be no problem. After the follow-up publicity here is over, you can join the "In the Name of the People" at any time."

"Now You See Me" is still in theaters. Although the creative team has concluded its road show, there are still some interviews to follow.

Cai Yinong is also a good person.

In fact, Hu Ge had already made arrangements for the drama schedule, but of course the drama had to make way for a project like "In the Name of the People".

After all, acting in a drama trains your acting skills.

And starring in Sanye's project, you can get in touch with the top connections in the circle.

"Well, that's fine too."

Han Sanping pointed his finger at Zhou Yutang: "Hu Ge is very good. Yu Tang has always recommended him to me. After I finish here, come over immediately. There are still a few meetings to be held. Let's get familiar with him first."

"No problem, Mr. Han."

Cai Yinong agreed and looked at Zhou Yutang gratefully.

They were both foxes for thousands of years, so there was no need to play any nonsense. Han Sanping must have known that Zhou Yutang had Tangren shares in his hands, so he was so polite to her and Hu Ge.

Baldy Xu drank a lot of wine tonight, his face was red, and he started to perform the art of flattery again: "Yu Tang, the box office of your "Now You See Me" is really amazing. I think it has the potential to hit 20 billion. "

Behind the lens, there seemed to be two lights from a flashlight, accompanied by exclamations and praises, it was so silky smooth.

"Not very realistic."

Zhou Yutang's resistance was greatly increased now, so he just smiled and asked: "Brother Zheng, I heard that you are getting close to Ali's boss Ma recently?"

"No no."

"I think you are very close to the female student from the Chinese drama, right?"

Ning Hao next to him made a joke, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Not long ago, Bald Xu was photographed by the paparazzi, coming out of a KTV in Beijing with a female student who was in the drama. The two of them behaved very intimately.

"I was asked by someone to shoot a music video with that girl and give her some pointers on her acting skills."

Bald Xu probably also felt embarrassed. His old face turned red, he pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "That girl really wants to make progress."

Everyone was still laughing, but this guy was so thick-skinned that he quickly adjusted and pulled Zhou Yutang aside and said: "Yu Tang, let's get down to business. When will the sequel to "囧" be released?"

"how?"

Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows: "Do you have any ideas?"

"I've been feeling a bit recently. I think comedy movies can be more than just funny, and they can also add something meaningful."

"what?"

"Something more meaningful and something that can make the audience think deeply."

Bald Xu opened his mouth and talked non-stop, excitedly expressing his thoughts: "Yu Tang, what do you think?"

not so good.

Zhou Yutang thought so in his heart, but on the surface he made a listening gesture and said with seemingly deep meaning: "If this project is handed over to you, what do you want to do?"

Bald Xu rubbed his hands excitedly: "I have some immature ideas. I went to Alibaba for a meeting a few days ago and talked about the impact of the entry of the Internet industry on the entertainment industry. I felt that it made sense."

"Now Alibaba is planning to lay out the entertainment industry, and they are interested in the IP of "囧囧""

"Yu Tang, are you interested in cooperating with Ali?"

"not interested."
