China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 591: The movie about the Chinese Empire, Zhou Yutang's healing new song

Chapter 591: The movie about the Chinese Empire, Zhou Yutang's healing new song
"Fuck, that's awesome!"

Young Master Chen is very aware of being a background board.

The expression on his face was even more shocked than Zhang Yimou's.

"Shi Shi, his acting is so great."

Ke Jiayan whispered in Liu Shishi's ear.

She doesn't have any scenes today, so she came to the crew to accompany Sister Yi.

"It's really great."

A smile broke out on Liu Shishi's face.

When someone praises Zhou Yutang, he feels happier than when someone praises himself.

Behind the monitor, Zhang Yimou, who was wearing a baseball cap and a black polo shirt, also nodded with satisfaction.

He has been in the film industry for so many years and has worked with countless top actors.

Zhou Yutang's acting talent can definitely be regarded as top-notch.

However, the filming of the assassination in the funeral hall was not smooth.

The problem still lies with the background people.

There are two key points in this scene.

First, Zhou Yutang’s own understanding and interpretation of the role must show the spirit of an ancient hero killing people in a busy city.

Secondly, the character of the male protagonist Chen Guilin is highlighted by the frightened reactions of the golden retriever and the people around him, highlighting his bold and ruthless character.

Chen Chuhe has only starred in idol dramas, and his acting skills are average, which is acceptable.

I re-shot it a few times and it was done.

Those gangster brothers were not professional actors. They were just drafted in to fill in the roles, and their professional qualities were questionable.

Zhou Yutang had a strong aura. When he drew his gun and shot, they were like curious babies, looking around curiously, feeling very novel and exciting.

The guest actor who plays Tietou Ge is Taiwanese actor Gao Jie, the one who tasted the ashes in the racing car and felt that the taste was not right.

He regrets it now.

I shouldn't have come to join in the fun and make a guest appearance if I had known.

In order to achieve the best filming effect, he insisted on not using a body double and had to roll down the stairs himself.

However, after shooting for a whole day, it was finally over.

After the severance pay was paid, Young Master Chen and his gangster brothers officially finished their work.

"'The Accidental Murderer' wrapped up a few days ago. Liu Shishi covered her face with a mask and showed up at the airport with her assistant. She went to Taiwan to visit Zhou Yutang in a low-key manner and prepared a surprise for him."

"Zhou Yutang and Liu Shishi were spotted shopping in a low-key manner, with sweet smiles that made others envious."

"Liu Shishi appeared on the streets of Taipei, and Taiwanese actress Ke Jiayan accompanied the three of them."

"."

The news of Liu Shishi's arrival in Taiwan Province soon appeared in various media and websites.

The "Tang Poetry" CP fans who had been silent for a while can finally be proud and stand up again.

Although the Tangren public relations team claimed that Liu Shishi came to visit a friend and even posted a photo with Ke Jiayan, anyone with a discerning eye knows what really happened.

Zhou Yutang was on the set and did not respond to this at all.

For him, scandals of this magnitude are like eating and drinking water.

Some time ago, he went out with Yoona to eat Beijing roast duck and was captured by fans. At that time, it even dominated the hot search lists in both countries.

If I had to respond to this every time, I would be exhausted.

However, some unscrupulous media took advantage of the situation and said that Zhou Yutang and Ke Jiayan fell in love in "Zhou Chu" and got together, and Liu Shishi flew over to catch them in the act.
Jiangdong Entertainment’s legal department is no pushover for this type of media and directly sends a lawyer’s letter to them.

No matter what, being associated with Zhou Yutang and being nominated as the new generation of "Pig Girl" will do Ke Jiayan a lot of good.

Originally, Ke Jiayan, who debuted under the name of Little Gui Lunmei, was not even a third-tier star. However, because of her scandal with Zhou Yutang, she received a huge amount of traffic and became the most watched young actress in Taiwan at this stage.

Liu Shishi only stayed in Taiwan Province for two days, mainly because Mr. Cai from Tangren could no longer sit still and made a series of desperate calls to recall the company's top female colleague back to Shanghai.

She will also have to re-shoot the commercials for the brand she endorses and deal with other announcements.

The movies in the summer season will be released until August.

After three weeks of release, Guangxian's "The Breakup Master" has already exceeded 6 million yuan at the box office.

Although the film received mixed reviews, it was a good start for Deng Chao, who had just transformed from an actor to a director.

"See You Tomorrow" has surpassed "Tiny Times 3" in box office. After 11 days of release, it has already grossed 5.17 million yuan, while the latter only grossed 3.8 million yuan.

The gap in reputation and box office between the two is still widening. Han Han's transformation this time was quite successful, and he also surpassed Guo Xiaosi in the head-on confrontation.

After the summer vacation is the Chinese Valentine's Day vacation. Huang Xiaoming and Fan Binbin's "The White-Haired Witch of the Kingdom of the Moon" has been postponed one after another. This movie, adapted from Liang Yusheng's martial arts novel, has a luxurious cast and is known as a 3D fantasy martial arts action masterpiece. It was originally scheduled for the May Day vacation, but it was feared that it would not be able to beat imported blockbusters.

I was gritting my teeth to get a big bite of meat in the summer movie season, but then I encountered a fierce competition between "Red Dead Redemption" and "Transformers 4".

After a failed release and further postponement, it finally hit the big screen in early August, earning 8025 million in a single day, becoming the single-day box office champion.

It's a pity that the word of mouth was not as strong as the box office performance, and it was met with overwhelming ridicule and negative reviews from netizens on film review sites such as Douban.

On the contrary, the trend of "Wolf Warrior" is very stable.

If it was Wu Jing alone, he might not be able to fight his way out of such a chaotic situation, but with Zhou Yutang's name involved in the publicity and promotion, things would be different.

The gimmick of "The Return of the Dragon King" VS "Wolf Warrior Leng Feng" alone is enough to attract a large number of audiences to the cinema.

After only 9 days of release, it has already surpassed Tiny Times 3 and grossed 4.85 million yuan.

Wu Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid of being pounced upon.

"Wolf Tooth" a few years ago made him lose all his money. Many people were pessimistic about this "Wolf Warrior", but now he has finally made his money back.

As the first military-themed film, it even received a certain amount of official traffic. It may not be considered a phenomenon, but it still has certain box office potential to be tapped.

The summer season is a mess, with one movie taking its place and another taking its place, and it’s become a chaotic mess.

The Film Bureau also released a set of data at the beginning of the month.

This year, China's movie box office has exceeded 150 billion, of which domestic films account for more than %.

The industry was shocked.

Even Hollywood was stunned.

How many years has this been?

The Chinese film market has unexpectedly developed to such a scale.

Based on data analysis, professionals came to the conclusion that it was mainly the strong performance of Zhou Yutang's "Mojin: The Lost Tomb" and "Red Ling" that drove the entire market to take off.

According to the current situation, it is almost certain that the total box office in the country will exceed 300 billion this year.

The Chinese film market is booming. Huayi Film Group and Shanghai Film Group and Jackie Chan jointly produced "Dragon Blade", which was soon announced to be released on February 2, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

The King of Sunglasses, who has been silent for a while since "The Grandmaster", is also unwilling to be lonely. Great Man Pictures announced the news of a new movie.
"Director Wang will cooperate with best-selling author Zhang Jiajia to adapt the million-selling novel "Passing By Your World" into the movie "The Ferryman". It has now entered the final casting stage and is expected to have the strongest cast in the past decade. Please stay tuned."

Many netizens have speculated that the King of Sunglasses might be in contact with Zhou Yutang, otherwise he would not have shouted the slogan of the strongest cast in the past decade.

As the screenwriter, Zhang Jiajia also revealed some news on Weibo: "Thank you Director Wang Jiawei for liking this book and this script."

"When I was writing the novel, I drank a lot of wine alone. When I was writing the script, I drank a lot of wine with Director Wang. The one that everyone is looking forward to, Director Wang and I are also looking forward to it. We are currently in negotiation and cannot reveal too much for the time being. If there is good news in the future, I will let you know in time."

He did not mention Zhou Yutang's name, but it was obvious who it was.

Only Zhou Yutang can make both the King of Sunglasses and Zhang Jiajia look forward to him.

Zhou Yutang did receive a generous offer.

The total remuneration for the leading actor, art director, and script consultant is as high as 1 million, and the box office dividends are calculated separately.

I'm afraid no one in this circle can refuse such a condition, but Zhou Yutang took a look at the script and refused without thinking too much.

Ni Ni felt a little sorry for Zhou Yutang.

But my boss is rich and willful, and now most of his energy is devoted to the filming of the crew.

Media from the mainland and Taiwan came over, wanting to visit the set for interviews.

The report about Zhou Yutang would undoubtedly be the headline news, but Zhang Yimou refused to allow any outsiders to join the crew. Apart from the special treatment given to the actress who came to visit the set, basically no news was released.

The more mysterious it is, the more people will pay attention to it.

A passerby took a photo of Zhou Yutang.

Although they were quite far away and the photo was a bit blurry, as if it was taken with a landline phone, one could see that Zhou Yutang exuded a rebellious temperament.

This photo leaked and attracted widespread attention and discussion online.

This is the first time that Zhou Yutang works with Zhang Yimou.

Previously, other people's impression of Zhang Yimou was that he had a solemn expression and looked a bit rigid.

In fact, this is not the case. When Zhang Yimou is working, he has a strong desire to express himself and can talk for more than ten hours in a row. He is an absolute chatterbox.

After work that afternoon, he called the team to a meeting.

After a day of hard filming, everyone else was already a little tired, but Zhang Yimou was still very energetic. He moved his hands and arranged tomorrow's filming tasks passionately.

Zhou Yutang listened very carefully and was eager to absorb what he heard.

As one of the top three domestic directors, the experience and background of the national master are extremely desirable.

Suddenly, his cell phone vibrated.

I thought it was a message from Liu Tianxian, or Yijie or Da Mimi, but when I picked up my phone, it turned out to be Lao Mouzi's producer Pang Liwei, who was sitting opposite me.
"Boss Zhou, tell Director Zhang that we can go have dinner first, right?"

"You haven't eaten yet?"

Zhou Yutang looked around. Zhao Xiaoding, the photography director hired by Zhang Yimou, had a bitter face and his stomach was rumbling.

"Sweating/Sweating emoji."

Pang Liwei was a little speechless and sent several emojis.

She suddenly discovered that Zhou Yutang, like the national teacher, was also a super workaholic.

Lao Mouzi was in working mode, completely absorbed in his work. No one else dared to interrupt him, so they urged Zhou Yutang to speak.

After glancing at the time on his phone, he realized it was already past 8: p.m. Zhou Yutang coughed softly, "Director Zhang, how about we eat first?"

"Let's stop here for tonight." Lao Mouzi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yu Tang, there are some things you need to pay attention to in tomorrow's scene."

Everyone felt relieved and dispersed. Zhou Yutang waited for him to finish talking about the play for another half an hour.

After packing up my things and preparing to go to eat, I saw Lao Mouzi taking the lunch box handed over by his assistant and starting to eat.
"Director Zhang, aren't you going out to eat?"

"Just eat your lunch. I have something to report to the editing team later."

Zhang Yimou grinned, revealing a row of big white teeth.

Zhou Yutang's expression twitched slightly.

He really didn't know where Zhang Yimou got so much energy at his age to be able to maintain the intensity of working for more than ten hours continuously.

I shoot during the day, have meetings with the team after that, and do editing work at night.

This is not over yet.

Every morning when he gets up to exercise, he would meet Zhang Yimou in the hotel gym.

Who can stand this?
"Zhou Xingxing's new film "The Mermaid" has been approved for filing and will be jointly produced by Xinghui Film Group, Dongwu Film Group, China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group. It is reported that the total investment will be more than 4 million yuan."

"The Mermaid will be written and directed by Stephen Chow, with Zhou Yutang expected to make a cameo appearance and Girls' Generation's Yoona Lin expected to play the mermaid. Casting auditions will begin today and filming is expected to begin in the second half of the year."

A heavy bomb hit the entertainment industry, causing a huge tsunami.

"Oh my god! I am not seeing things, Zhou Yutang + Zhou Xingxing are a magical combination."

"Tsk, with an investment of 400 million, Master Xing's new film is truly a masterpiece."

"Zhou Yutang is working too hard. Didn't he just go to Wan Province to film the drama Threesome? He also has to act in the drama of King of Sunglasses, and now he's officially announced a new drama?"

"It's a cameo appearance, similar to Wolf Warrior, with a small role to support the box office."

"Hey, Yoona, my Yoona wife."

"It's a pity that Master Xing has aged a lot and his hair is all white. It would be a bit lacking if he didn't act himself."

……

In order to avoid any further complications, Stephen Chow quickly sent someone over to finalize the contract for "The Mermaid" after the deal was reached that day.

As soon as the money arrived, we immediately started to advance the next stage of preparations.

He really took Zhou Yutang's advice and sent an audition invitation to S&M company, to which Yoona belonged, and also issued a press release to hype it up.

When the film project was just launched, the first thing that was established was the hunger marketing strategy.

Release more information bit by bit to keep the heat going until the movie is released.

At this moment, Weibo and some forums are completely boiling.

There was also a major earthquake in the entertainment companies in the industry.

Currently, apart from Zhou Yutang who is crowned the invincible king, the other members of the domestic billion box office club are only Xu Guangtou, Happy Twist, and Stephen Chow.

The box office of Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was lower than that of Happy Twist.

But the influence of the two is completely incomparable.

Happy Twist, which made a big splash, still has a shallow foundation after all.

The generation born in the 80s and 90s grew up watching Stephen Chow's movies.

I always have a special feeling for Stephen Chow, and this time the box office king Zhou Yutang is also with him.

The two weeks join forces and are invincible.

All entertainment companies in the circle were shocked, including Huayi.

"It's really a big deal!"

Mr. Wang's face was gloomy.

Because of the incident of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", he and Stephen Chow went to court, and the grudge between them had been formed a long time ago.

But now the identities of those co-producers are clearly there, so even if Huayi wants to make any small moves, it is powerless.

Zhou Xingxing's star power can be ignored. Jiangdong Entertainment, China Film Group, and Shanghai Film Group account for almost half of the domestic entertainment industry.

"Yu Tang, you didn't say anything, but you made such a big fuss."

Tian Ming's phone soon came in: "Many people in the Magic City asked me to find out what's going on."

"It's already been decided. Zhou Xingxing has the final say on the project."

"What about the movie King of Sunglasses? Shanghai Film Group also invested in it. Did Mr. Ren call you?"

"I called several times, but I couldn't get through."

It happened that during the crew's transition, Zhou Yutang chatted with Tian Ming for a while. When talking about Mingjie's hometown ace variety show, Tian Ming's tone was a little uncertain:
"By the way, Yu Tang, the planning department has already made a plan for the outdoor variety show customized by Mango TV. Is there really a way to make a rural pastoral theme slow variety show?"

"of course."

Zhou Yutang smiled calmly: "Nowadays, there are competitive variety shows such as Running Man and Go Fighting. The market is basically saturated. The pace of modern life is getting faster and faster. Many people yearn to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city and live a natural and quiet life."

"Okay, it's up to you."

After so many years of cooperation, Tian Ming has great trust in Zhou Yutang.

"A Longing for Life" is the variety show customized by Mingjie Company for Mango TV.

To make a variety show, one must go through a series of market research and then judge the market value of the show.

There are currently three main MCs, including Mango TV’s host He Ling.

The format of the program is fresh and simple.

As the owners of a mushroom house in a natural village, the three celebrity MCs obtain various ingredients through physical labor to entertain the celebrity guests who visit the mushroom house every episode.

Take off the ostentatious and dazzling halo of celebrities and return to life itself.

The production cost certainly cannot be compared with outdoor variety shows like Running Man and Go Fighting that require teams of hundreds of people.

But the market potential is definitely not low.

The variety show planning plan has been finalized, and all that remains is to coordinate with Mango TV.

Today's scene is relatively simple.

The film shows Chen Guilin struggling to make a decision after being deceived by the female doctor and preparing to surrender to the police station.

As a result, when he revealed his name at the police station, the police actually asked him to queue at the back.

This is a foreshadowing laid earlier in the script.

The day before, a money transport truck collided with an egg transport truck, causing banknotes to fly all over the place and triggering a scramble among the people.

The news advised people who found the banknotes to turn themselves in to the police station as soon as possible, otherwise they might be charged with embezzlement, so people who came to return the money filled the police station.

When Ni Ni saw the stunned expression on Zhou Yutang's face when the police dragged him to line up, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

how to say?

It's just a bit ridiculous and funny.

Chen Guilin saw the list of the three most wanted criminals, which promoted the subsequent plot of eliminating the three evils.

After the day's shooting was over and they had their braised pork rice together, Ni Ni noticed that Zhou Yutang's slender fingers, which looked very suitable for playing the piano, were writing something on a piece of paper.
"Once, I walked forward in a daze. The breeze on the road in the middle of the night stung my soul. I couldn't find the direction I should go. How many tears would it take to complete such a journey of life..."

Zhou Yutang's handwriting is also very beautiful. While writing, he gazed into thought and hummed a mysterious tune.

Ni Ni searched her mind and made sure that she had never heard of this song.

But it sounds so clear and full of hope.

buzzing.

The phone vibrated and the screen lit up. Zhou Yutang put down the Parker pen in his hand and stretched his body in a relaxed posture.

"Hey?"

"Fuck! That magic trick is really awesome. It will definitely be amazing when it's filmed. When will you wrap up?"

"Brother, I've only been in the group for a few days."

Zhou Yutang said helplessly: "Maybe I'll have to borrow your company's recording studio at that time."

"no problem."

Jay Chou agreed without thinking: "Dani happens to be in Taiwan Province, I'll ask her to arrange it for you, if you need any help, you can tell her."

Many of Zhou Yutang's friends have become a little restrained because of his status and position, and they don't even dare to make jokes.

Brother Long, who has the best relationship with me, is the introverted and flirtatious type.

Only Zhang Ruojun would act funny occasionally, and when he chatted with Jay Chou at this moment, it felt like a rare show of bragging between friends.

Jay Chou's interest in "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" is obviously not as great as that in "Now You See Me 2".

I only asked Zhou Yutang a few questions about the progress of the filming, and most of the topic was still about magic.

In short, just one word.

He is invincible.

They kept chatting until the stage manager called Zhou Yutang and he hung up: "Nini, there's something I need you to take care of."

"Boss, tell me."

"Contact Dani."

After a pause, Zhou Yutang continued, "I want to borrow JVR's recording studio."

"Boss, is this a new song you wrote?"

Ni Ni and Dani are friends, so naturally they have contact information.

While sending her WeChat message, I didn't forget to ask out of curiosity.

"Well, what do you think of the movie's theme song?"
