China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 649: Hot and Popular, Vixen Liu Yifei

Young Master Huang made the domestic entertainment scene lively for a while.

It also caused a huge fight between Chadan's planetary rice.

The fans in the group have never been a monolithic group.

Some people called him ungrateful, while others applauded.

There were four Chinese members in the group, three of them have left, leaving only Zhang Yixing.

Although tea eggs can still make money later on, it is unlikely to ever reach the popularity they enjoyed during their peak period.

The old fox Lee Soo-man’s dream of entering the Chinese market was shattered.

He was very angry and immediately lodged a solemn protest - but it was of no use.

S&M Company is said to be the leader of South Korean entertainment industry, but it is also a paper tiger.

Previously, the Seoul Supreme Court ruled in favor of Wu Yifan, the plaintiff in the labor infringement case against the defendant S&M company.

Mr. Huang followed suit and sent his legal team directly to Seoul, giving the old fox Lee Soo-man a little shock of being a billionaire in China.

Having a good father is so willful.

Master Huang’s popularity is not as high as Lu Han and Wu Yifan, but he can also be considered as free traffic.

Zhou Yutang politely rejected Mr. Huang, but many companies in the circle, including Huale and Huayi, extended olive branches to him.

All of a sudden, reports came out one after another.

But the heat was soon suppressed.

Because another popular young actor in the circle, Feng Shaofeng, officially announced on Weibo that he had broken up with the popular young actress Yang Ying.

These two people are considered a well-matched couple in the circle. They show their affection and love from time to time and become a hot topic.

This breakup has caused many netizens to exclaim that they will never believe in love again.

"These two have been on and off for many times, right? Xiaoyu, do you have any information?"

"I heard that Yang Ying dumped Feng Shaofeng."

The gossip queen Mao Xiaoyu immediately became excited.

A lot of information was posted in the private group, which also opened Zhou Yutang's eyes.

Feng Shaofeng's studio announced that it was a peaceful breakup and he declined media interviews.

Yang Ying, on the other hand, did not seem to be affected by the breakup. She accepted an interview on a variety show and talked about her feelings: "You can't force relationships. Everyone has tried to save the relationship, but the results are so unfortunate."

"I think that women should love themselves first and then love others. I think the achievements I have made now are the result of my own hard work and have nothing to do with Mr. Feng's help. I will focus on work in the future, so please rest assured, fans."

"How can she have the nerve to say that?"

Da Mimi didn't like Yang Ying very much. During the road show, she complained to Zhou Yutang privately: "How many resources did Feng Shaofeng introduce to her?"

"Aren't you good sisters?" Zhou Yutang asked curiously.

Previously, Yang Mi and Yang Ying met at an event and posted a photo together. Later, they sent each other birthday wishes, which led to the media hyping up the relationship between the two Yang sisters.

"Who is good friends with her?"

Da Mimi said with some resentment: "These past few days, my studio found out that someone pretended to be a fan of Tang Yan and posted a negative article. It was her team who did it!"

“Is this what women’s friendship is?”

Zhou Yutang was in awe.

Compared to Yang Ying, Da Mimi really has a hard time.

When she was in Jiangdong, she arranged resources for herself. After she went out to start her own business, basically all the roles she got were through her own hard work.

There are many beautiful female stars in this circle.

But not everyone can take the risk, take on more than a dozen plays a year, and carry the entire company forward on his own.

The Hong Kong Film Awards, which just ended, was like an old man in his twilight years.

Zhou Yutang received many nominations, but did not attend.

Just as the media said after the award ceremony, there is a lack of young actors in the Hong Kong circle and they can't even get enough nominations. It's simply a joke.

Hong Kong actress Ivana Wong was nominated for Best Newcomer three times for "Golden Rooster SSS", "100 Breakups" and "Love Like a Bitch".

Including Best Original Movie Song, which she sang, and nominations for Best Supporting Actress.

This is also the first time in the history of the Academy Awards that someone has won the Best Newcomer Award and the Best Supporting Actress Award at the same time.

Anyway, it’s always Liu Qingyun, Principal Gu, Zha Zha Hui and others who come back and forth.

This year, enthusiastic citizen Liu Qingyun won the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Actor again.

However, Zhao Yanzi won the Best Actress Award at the Academy Awards for her performance in "Dear". She defeated Zhou Gongzi, Tang Wei and Shisanmei.

Zhou Yutang's "Chi Ling" won the Best Screenplay Award, and Lu Wei personally went on stage to receive the award.

The Best Picture award also went to "Red Ling" without any suspense, and the film's supervisor and producer Han Sanping showed up again.

After retiring from his position, Han Sanping has not appeared in public for a long time. He only serves as a consultant at China Film Group and has focused most of his energy on the Golden Award for Screenwriters.

Still wearing a neat Zhongshan suit and a crew cut, the little old man with a rosy face went on stage and took home the trophy.

During the event, a VCR of Zhou Yutang's acceptance speech recorded in advance by the crew was played, which drew applause from the audience.

The Best Director award was won by Ann Hui for "The Golden Era".

In addition to winning the Best Actor award for Overheard 3, Ken Tsang defeated Paul Chung, Ng Man-tat, Lam Yu and Alex Fong to win the Best Supporting Actor award.

Even Wu Baige's The Crossing won the editing award. Zhang Ziyi couldn't hold it in anymore and posted a comment on Weibo:

“It’s incredible.”

After the Academy Awards ceremony ended that day, the Hong Kong media was filled with grief.
"Where is the future of authentic Hong Kong films? Is it really the end of the road?"

"The Hong Kong Film Awards have been invaded by mainland films. How sad and lamentable!"

"Who can I blame? Our own movies are all the best among the worst. They can't even get enough nominations."

"In my opinion, the Hong Kong Film Awards are still conservative. Why didn't they give Best Actor and Best Director to Zhou Yutang?"

"."

Local Hong Kong film and television professionals lamented that the glory of the golden age was difficult to continue, and netizens from the mainland could not help but express sarcasm, making the argument quite lively.

No one is a fool.

A large number of Hong Kong film and television people actually hold a condescending attitude towards the mainland.

Now, the positions on both sides are gradually reversed.

The sun sets in the west over there, but the sun rises in the east inland.

"The actors are putting on makeup, and all departments are preparing."

"The scene is quiet."

Sun Hao sat in the director's chair. As he heard from the headset that all departments were ready, he waved his hand. The assistant director then spoke through a loud speaker.

Soon, Camera No. 1 gave a close-up of Zhou Yutang's handsome face and expressionless expression.

Today's scene is about the Crown Prince's rebellion in Kyoto. Young Lord Fan will stand on a coffin, imitating Pang Lingming's way of fighting while carrying the coffin.

The original novel says that the prince and Qin Ye gathered 30,000 rebels and marched straight to the imperial city.

Of course, a TV series cannot be filmed like this, but this drama also used hundreds of extras.

"Where is Zhou Yutang?"

"Over there!"

"Fuck, this is so handsome."

The qualities of the "rebels" are different. They are all used to seeing extras of celebrities, but when they meet a top star like Zhou Yutang, they can't help but feel a little excited.

Everyone stood on tiptoe and looked at the Grand Commander of Jiangdong from afar, their excitement evident in their expressions.

"Crack!"

Zhou Yutang immediately called for a stop.

Call director Sun Hao over and tell him to restore discipline on the scene.

This group of rabble is just like they are at a celebrity concert.

Where is the aura of an elite force at all?

Sun Hao called the on-site producer, and after some rectification and restraint, he was able to basically meet the director's requirements before resuming filming.

tread!tread!tread!
Qin Ye, Gong Dian and others surrounded the Crown Prince Li Chengqian, played by Yuan Hong, and approached the imperial city.

It's like a dark cloud covering the city, full of oppression.

Qin Ye, played by Mr. Feng Enhe, is the highlight of this play.

Qin Ye was an old-generation veteran of the Qing army and held a very high position in the army. It was he who raised his arm and led the troops to cause chaos.

A good actor can really play any role well.

In "The Disguiser", Feng Enhe plays the stationmaster Wu, who is shrewd, greedy for money and shows no concern for it.

In "Joy of Life".

But he was a general in the army with white hair and wearing armor, who was intimidating without even getting angry.

Qin Laodeng stood majestically before the three armies, pointed his spear at the imperial city, and shouted, "You are all soldiers of the Qing Kingdom. Why do you dare to help Fan Xian, a traitor who killed the king?"

As he spoke, his eyes widened and his voice shook the whole area.

This was his deliberate display of his profound skills.

I’m going to reveal my cards now. I won’t pretend anymore. I am the Qin family’s most hidden super-powerful ninth-grade expert!
Unfortunately, he didn't know that he was facing a cheater.

With the magical weapon Barrett in hand, he could kill Yan Xiaoyi with one shot. If he was unintentional, it would not be difficult to kill him in the midst of thousands of troops.

However, Fan Xian would definitely not do that.

The cards he has in his hand now are enough to win this game.

The enemy has 30,000 troops, and we have only a few thousand, but the advantage is ours.

"Please ask the Queen Mother and the Empress to come to the city to watch the battle!"

Zhou Yutang waved his hand and released a killing move that even Zhu Di was troubled by.

The prince played by Yuan Hong was suddenly confused...

It took three days to shoot this big scene.

Later, when Qin Ye attacked the city, the Black Cavalry of the Supervisory Council was dispatched and showed their great power, crushing the elite Qin cavalry. This was also a rare grand scene in the entire series.

Fan Xian's right-hand man, the deputy commander of the Black Cavalry, Jing Ge, assassinated Qin and killed Qin Laodeng's only son.

Ye Chong and Gong Dian, who pretended to surrender to Fu Long, played a trick on Qin Ye and teamed up to launch a surprise attack and kill Qin Ye and Lao Deng.

The entire situation is always under the control of Lord Xiao Fan.

"After 10 days of release, the total box office of "The Accidental Murderer" has reached 8.74 million yuan, showing great potential!"

"The total box office of "Fast & Furious 7" reached 20.2 billion, officially breaking the second record of the Chinese film total list held by Zhou Yutang's film "Red Ling"!"

"At present, Su Ji still has a stable closing price of 30 million, and it is just around the corner to break the record of the Chinese film list!"

"The Left Ear retells the painful story of youth, with a box office of 5514 million on the first day and over 2 million in the first four days!"

Li Xin took a few days off from the crew to cooperate with the roadshow promotion of "Left Ear". Su Ji and "The Accidental Detective" fought all the way into the May Day period, and the first to fall was Mr. Fan's "Everything Grows", with a total box office of 1.48 million.

"Left Ear", produced by Guangguang, firmly surpassed "Fall in Love with You" and took the second place in the May Day schedule.

During the May Day period, Wen Muye fought hard in "Fast and Furious 7", and since then he became famous and was ranked among the great directors of the younger generation.

New director Su Youpeng also proved himself.

The Chinese film market has officially entered a period of chaos, with the screening of "The Accidental Detective" being split, and the same is true for "Su Ji".

But the quality of this imported commercial blockbuster is there, and now that the popularity has matured, it still continues to attract audiences to the cinema.

"Yu Tang, Transformers 4 is down."

On the phone, La Peikang's voice sounded a little low: "Your Chinese-language film box office record will also be broken."

"La Dong."

Zhou Yutang, however, did not take it seriously: "The entire market is growing, and the box office figures will only get higher and higher in the future."

Maoyan's box office forecast for Vegetarian Chicken is 21.8 billion, and this is based on the strong support of "The Accidental Detective".

Otherwise, it will only be higher.

"I hope so."

La Peikang sighed.

Sitting in the position of the head of China Film Group, he holds the power over several major matters including import, domestic and overseas co-production, and release schedules of the Chinese film industry. Of course, he holds a high position of power.

But when the Chinese film market was hit hard, he, as the helmsman, had to take the blame.

This month, Su Ji has been killing it in the Chinese-language film market, and La Peikang has also been criticized a lot. He can be said to have experienced the difficulties of Han Sanping.

Fortunately, Jiang Dong stood up this time and withstood the pressure from Su Ji, thus preserving some dignity for Chinese-language films.

Universal Pictures, which had tasted success in the Chinese film market, applied for an extension of the key, but was naturally rejected.

Zhou Yutang was not surprised by this result.

The entire May Day schedule of Chinese-language films is clamoring for attention, how could they possibly give way to outsiders?
The May Day holiday is over, and "Avengers 12" is scheduled to be released on the 2th.

Director Joss Whedon and the leading actors such as Iron Man Robert Downey Jr., Hulk Mark Ruffalo, Black Widow Scarlett Johansson and others flew to Beijing and have begun pre-promotion.

La Peikang is a little regretful now because of his mistake in not arranging "Fast and Furious 7" and "Avengers 2" together.

"Yu Tang, are you almost done with the filming?"

"My part will have to wait until the end of the month at the earliest."

"That's perfect. There's a directors industry conference in early June. You have to come and see it."

"We'll see then."

Zhou Yutang laughed.

He is actually not interested in this kind of association that relies on seniority and always pushes it away whenever possible.

In the past, there were some old guys who acted bossy and arrogant in front of him.

Open your mouth, it's Xiao Zhou; close your mouth, it's Xiao Tang.

At that time, Zhou Yutang gave him face and called him teacher and senior.

Most of the time, it was Tian Zhuangzhuang who solved those troubles for him.

Now that Zhou Yutang has taken this position, those old guys have become obedient. Without even Lao Tian’s intervention, they have changed their attitudes and started to lick his clothes.

The May Day holiday is over, and the media’s summary and inventory of the entertainment industry has arrived as expected.

Since the beginning of the year, after "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils", Jiangdong Entertainment has another hit movie that has taken the lead.

The film and television companies in the industry are so envious that lemon trees are about to grow out of their eyes.

But when some people are well fed, others are beaten.

Wang Xiaoshuai's new film "The Intruder", which is also scheduled to be released during the May Day holiday, has experienced what cruelty is.

On the first day of its release, due to the large number of blockbuster films, it had less than 1% of the screening time, and the first-day box office was less than 50.

After the entire May Day holiday, the box office was less than 400 million, which made director Wang Xiaoshuai desperate. He simply gave up and publicly stated: "The Intruder encountered murder. It was sentenced to death in advance by the theater without seeing the audience."

Wang Xiaoshuai is also a veteran director with many friends in the circle.

Director Gao Qunshu immediately stood up to support him: "I hope the cinemas can give The Intruder a chance. This movie just didn't get enough publicity. Its quality is much better than those movies that sold a lot of tickets on the first day. It's a loss for the audience to be buried like this."

Several celebrities also supported Wang Xiaoshuai on Weibo.

Wanda Cinemas quickly made a public statement, announcing that it would support "The Intruder" and increase its screening schedule from 1% to 2%.
Well, increasing the screening rate by one percentage point is better than nothing.

The box office of "The Intruder" rose to 120 million per day, but during the entire May Day period, it didn't even make a small splash.

Another film that could be compared to Wang Xiaoshuai in terms of misery was the romantic film "Nian Nian" directed by Zhang Aijia, which only grossed 79.5 on the first day, with the cumulative box office barely breaking 500 million, and only 2% of the screenings.

The film and television industry is so cruel.

One will be a million bones.

Only a few can make it. Most of them want to become famous overnight, but end up falling into the Huangpu River.

When scheduling films during prime time like the May Day holiday, theater chains will definitely take the safest approach and schedule the most screenings for topical commercial films.

Such as the vegetarian chicken that has swept the world, and "The Accidental Murderer" whose marketing boosted word-of-mouth.

In fact, many young audiences are impulse consumers. When they go to the cinema during the holidays, they will only choose the most talked-about movies on social media.

Entering the era of entertainment capital, social attributes are also an important indicator of movies.

In this regard, Zhou Yutang is ahead of everyone else.

Any film or TV work that carries the Jiangdong Entertainment label will naturally make the audience feel excited.

Wang Xiaoshuai and Zhang Aijia were not that miserable. The epic crime blockbuster "Equator", which was jointly created by a group of Hong Kong capitals, was a huge loss.

The film was shot entirely in Asia, including the Middle East and Europe. The total investment in the film exceeded 2 million, and it is said to be a hit in Asia.

In other words, the box office must reach at least 6 million to recover the cost.

But by the end of the May Day holiday, the box office had barely passed 1.2 million, which surprised many people in the industry.

The ambitious boss Jiang had previously revealed his ambition to make "Equator" into a series of movies. Now it seems that this dream has only come true.
Although Su Ji failed to apply for an extension key, it finally landed in the Chinese film market amid much anticipation.

The total box office closed at 21.57 billion, breaking the highest box office record of 20.93 billion in the Chinese film chart held by Zhou Yutang's "Mojin: The Lost Tomb".

At this time, "The Accidental Detective" had been released for 19 days and the box office had reached 13.44 billion.

With the second film in his directorial career, Wen Muye was directly promoted to a big director in the 2 billion box office club and became one of the hottest young directors in the entire entertainment industry.

"The Chinese film market has developed to a considerable level. If it weren't for the sudden rise of 'The Accidental Murderer', which took away a portion of the screening schedule, the box office of 'Fast and Furious 7' would have been even higher."

"There's also 'Avengers 2' coming up, so Chinese films will still face extremely severe tests."

This time the expert spoke sensible words.

The box office data of vegetarian chicken in China is almost the same as that in North America, and accounts for a huge proportion of the global box office data.

The shooting progress of "Joy of Life 3" has reached about %, and the publicity work is also being carried out simultaneously. Today is the media open day.

Hundreds of media outlets rushed to the scene, armed with cameras and long guns, staring at Zhou Yutang eagerly.

The reporters were so impatient that they asked many questions at once, which gave Zhou Yutang a headache. He raised his hand and said:
"Everyone, don't rush, follow the order."

"Mr. Zhou, you said that Vegan Chicken could be a phenomenal movie. Now it has just refreshed our movie box office rankings. What do you think?"

“Records are meant to be broken.”

Zhou Yutang, who still holds the record for the highest box office of Chinese-language films, said calmly, "The Chinese film market has been developing all the time, and the box office records will only be higher in the future. Maybe this year there will be a movie with a box office of 30 billion."

"Mr. Zhou, are you kidding?" The reporters became slightly excited.

"No kidding, just wait and see."

"Director Sun, when will the filming of Joy of Life 3 be completed?"

"June at the latest."

"."

The media invited to the press conference were all media outlets that have familiar relations with Jiangdong.

I know exactly what questions to ask and what questions not to ask.

After the press conference, Zhou Yutang quickly returned to filming.

On the crew side, actors have finished filming one after another.

Zhou Yutang received a message from Liu Yifei.

In the photo, Miss Liu is wearing jeans and a long-sleeved shirt, with a neat ponytail, and is doing a handstand against the wall.

That pair of slender legs is very eye-catching.

"Xiao Zhou competed with Chang Chang in handstand, and she lost."

"So, I'm awesome, right? Proud/Proud."

Several messages were sent in succession, and Zhou Yutang could almost imagine Liu Yifei's arrogant look on the other end of the phone.

When interacting with the outside world, Liu Yifei seems friendly, but in fact she has a certain sense of distance.

Only in private with the people I know best can I let go completely, and occasionally I’ll have a little tantrum.
"The heroine has great skills."

"Xiao Zhou, what happened to you when you were injured last time?" Liu Yifei was quite concerned and still remembered it.

"It's just a little scrape, nothing serious."

"Then you have to be careful too. I'll give you the notebook."

While chatting with Liu Yifei, Zhou Yutang opened his laptop and browsed the emails she sent.

Wow, there are at least a dozen books, all of which are top projects in the circle.

Miss Liu did not join the crew, not because there were no movies to shoot, but because she would not take on any project that she was not interested in.

"Xiao Zhou, Mom thinks that book by Bonar is pretty good. What do you think?"

"The Legend of the Gods?"

Zhou Yutang glanced at the book and was instantly amused: "Fatty Yu is a talented person, let you play Daji?"

I heard from Miss Liu that Fatty Yu Dong was very sincere and offered the female star an exceptionally high salary. He called Aunt Liu several times and she was quite interested.

The script was unsurprisingly bad, and it was difficult for Zhou Yutang to connect Liu Yifei with a vixen.

"It's a very complicated situation here, don't get involved."

Zhou Yutang briefly explained the nature of Moon Entertainment to Miss Liu. Unexpectedly, Liu Yifei didn't care at all, but was still bothered by his joking tone just now:

"Humph, you little Zhou, I think I can act well."

"Then I'll give you a chance."

"Do you have a script for becoming a god?" Liu Yifei's eyes lit up instantly.

"We are developing a film and television project for Fengshen, but we have to wait for two years."

Zhou Yutang coughed lightly and said, "If you are interested, you can adapt to the role in advance now."

I quickly switched to Jingdong Mall and placed an order for a set of Daji's sexy nightgown.

Or the one with a tail?
