China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 666: The first person in the Chinese film and television industry, shocking the whole world!

"The Grand Commander and his beautiful wife strode into the airport with great pride. Gao Yuanyuan looked stunning!"

"It is reported that the film "Detective Chinatown" directed by Zhou Yutang and produced by Ning Hao, starring Wang Baoqi, Gao Yuanyuan, Lu Han, Chen Chichi, Xiao Shenyang, Xiao Yang, Zhang Zifeng and others, will gather in Thailand Bangkok, and the filming date is suspected to be approaching!"

Zhou Yutang really wanted to start the filming in a low-key manner.

But reality does not allow it.

As soon as the talented people arrived at the airport, they were caught by the media.

Then, when he arrived in Bangkok, the news was posted in the most prominent position in the film and television information section of major portals.

"These guys are fast enough."

Ning Hao came out with his luggage and joked with Zhou Yutang.

"I took advantage of your traffic and made it to the headlines."

As a result, he looked around and was shocked: "Damn, so many people?"

The airport in front of me was already packed with people.

The fully armed security guards maintained order outside the cordon as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

The fans screamed continuously.

The sound was so loud that it almost blew away the entire dome of the airport.

"Yu Tang, you're so popular here!"

Even Gao Yuanyuan's beautiful eyes showed some surprise. She touched Zhou Yutang's arm and whispered.

After all, she is a big star in the circle and must have seen big scenes.

Generally speaking, it is understandable that domestic entertainment stars meet enthusiastic fans in China, but when they go abroad, basically no one knows them, and it is okay for them to just walk around and eat on the streets.

No one is as popular as Zhou Yutang, even abroad.

There were crowds of people at the airport, many of whom were holding Zhou Yutang's signs, and they were welcoming him in an orderly manner.

From time to time, people would shout out the names of the protagonists of film and television series starring Zhou Yutang, such as "The Man from Lonely Planet", "My Love from the Star", and "Joy of Life" in Chinese with a strange accent.

The reporters from China who followed were also extremely excited and took a lot of photos of the grand event at the airport.

The legendary hot search-making machine commander-in-chief is indeed worthy of his reputation, and he is destined to make the news headlines again.

"Let's go."

Zhou Yutang nodded and smiled at the fans and reporters at the scene from time to time.

With security forces clearing the way, we passed quickly.

Just after getting in the car, I received a call from Tong Gang: "Yu Tang, are you there?"

"Director Tong? Just got out of the airport."

Zhou Yutang answered the call and the business car instantly became quiet.

Ni Ni and Gao Yuanyuan both heard what Director Tong said, and the two girls' original communication stopped.

Ning Hao, who was humming a song, had been to the Film Bureau for a meeting and recognized the voice.

"When will the filming of Detective Chinatown start?"

"Everything has been arranged and we can start filming tomorrow."

Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly: "What instructions does Director Tong have?"

"Haha, don't worry about turning it on. The Celestial Empire's ambassador to Tyrande will contact you this afternoon, and you have to go to the Governor's Mansion tomorrow."

"."

Zhou Yutang received a temporary task from the organization and agreed to it even though he felt helpless.

As a prominent figure in China's film and television circles, he enjoys certain privileges, but he also shoulders responsibilities.

"Is it the female governor?"

Gao Yuanyuan and Ni Ni were both shocked.

Compared to this incident, the bustling crowds of fans at the airport was just normal.

"So handsome that it alarmed Governor Tyrande's palace?"

Ning Hao used the simplest language to express his feelings at the moment: "Awesome!"

Soon, Ambassador Ning called.

Tyrande has always been close to the Celestial Empire, and the two countries have extremely close exchanges in various fields such as politics, economy, and humanities.

As the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries is approaching, this matter has even more far-reaching significance.

"The plan has changed and the start of filming has been postponed."

Zhou Yutang said a few words to Ni Ni.

Including what to wear tomorrow and the procedure for meeting with the media.

As for starting up the machine, Chen Xi could only make the arrangements.

The next day, Zhou Yutang and the main staff of "Detective Chinatown" crew, led by Mr. Ning, the Celestial Empire's ambassador to Tyrande, paid a visit to Governor Tyrande.

"Sister Yuanyuan."

On the way, Zhou Yutang saw Gao Yuanyuan looking at a loss, so he took out the mirror in his bag to touch up his makeup and comforted her: "Don't be nervous, you are the most beautiful in the world."

"Thank you."

Da Meiyuan was secretly delighted and smiled sweetly in return.

Although this man is a bit of a scumbag, he is capable and quite considerate to me.

"You're welcome. You won't be on camera anyway."

Zhou Yutang's subsequent teasing made Gao Yuanyuan so angry that her teeth itched and she really wanted to bite Xiao Zhou in pieces.

In fact, that's exactly what happened.

Even if the entire "Detective Chinatown" crew were put together, they would not have as much influence as Zhou Yutang.

This is due to the in-depth cooperation between Jiangdong Entertainment's film and television department and Tyrande.

Movies are art.

It can influence the audience's aesthetic concepts and tastes through audio-visual art performance.

Many movie fans, after watching the movie, were inspired to go and experience the filming location in person.

In the past, people had to eat and stay in hotels, which greatly boosted the local tourism industry and economic development.

The movie "Lost in Thailand" produced by Jiangdong two years ago had a great influence and boosted the local tourism industry in Thailand.

In the past two years, the number of Chinese tourists traveling from China to Thailand has reached millions, far exceeding the past.

Today, Tyrande has become a recognized tourist destination for the people of China.

This year's "The Accidental Murderer" and "The Piano Tuner" were also filmed in Tyrande. They are two films with great reputation and influence.

"Detective Chinatown" is about to start filming.

As for Operation Mekong, which is being produced in cooperation with the Six Gates Headquarters, the preliminary preparations are almost complete and the opening ceremony will be held in Tyrande next month.

The meeting was just as Zhou Yutang expected.

The other crew members of "Detective Chinatown", including Gao Yuanyuan, also met each other.

That Governor Tyrande is indeed beautiful.

But the words are more beautiful.

He solemnly thanked Zhou Yutang in person for his promotion of Tyrande.

Many media came to the scene, some from China and some from Thailand.

They all came with a mission.

You praised me for my great contributions to the cultures of our two countries, expressed your welcome to more Chinese directors to shoot films in Tyrande, and promised that the Tyrande government would provide relevant conveniences.

Then I will praise Tyrande's natural scenery and traditional culture
Zhou Yutang had already made preparations before coming here, so he could say these nice polite words easily, just like eating and drinking.

At last.

It ended with a photo of the two of them having fun together.

A dinner was arranged in the evening, and the press release had already come out. Zhou Yutang's meeting with Tyrande's eldest sister at the Governor's Mansion was already on the news.

"Yu Tang, you're on the News Broadcast."

Gao Yuanyuan was reading the news on her phone and touched Zhou Yutang's arm.

"It's happened several times, don't make a fuss."

Zhou Yutang was so calm that Gao Yuanyuan was speechless.

Think about it too.

First enter the Blue House, then enter the Governor-General's Office.

Officially stamped and certified.

Zhou Yutang is undoubtedly the number one person in the Chinese film and television industry.

"Tyrande fans picked up Zhou Yutang at the airport. The scene was packed with people and screams!"

"The Ambassador accompanied me, and Governor Tyrande received me. Thank you Zhou Yutang for your outstanding contribution to cultural exchange!"

"The film "Detective Chinatown" has officially started shooting in Bangkok, Thailand, continuing another masterpiece of the criminal universe of the thieves!"

"."

The entertainment headlines of major domestic portals, the hot posts on forums, and the hot searches on Weibo are all monopolized by Zhou Yutang.

The news that the filming of "Detective Chinatown" had started also topped the hot search list.

The organization's task was completed, and the hustle and bustle of the outside world no longer disturbed Zhou Yutang.

He declined media interviews and officially started filming "Detective Chinatown".

When Zhou Yutang arrived at the scene.

Ning Hao has already set up the shooting scene with the crew.

After reporting the details to Chen Xi, Ning Hao couldn't help but complain: "Boss Zhou, as a producer, am I in charge of too many things?"

He thought he was here to eat, drink and have a vacation at public expense, but he didn't expect to be drafted into the army by Zhou Yutang.

"He who can do it should work harder."

"Then you are so capable."

Ning Hao suddenly asked: "Why didn't you come here earlier to check on the scene?"

The producer Chen Xi, the assistant director, the twin directors of Happy Twist, Yan Fei and Peng Dama, the director of photography and others beside him all had sweat on their foreheads.

Only Director Ning Hao, who has a close relationship with the Grand Commander, dares to speak like this.

"Do you think that's all after dinner at the Governor's Mansion last night?"

Zhou Yutang's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "I went back to the hotel, was busy until midnight, and got up late in the morning."

After hearing this, Da Meiyuan blushed. Chen Xi tactfully changed the subject: "Boss, this is today's production schedule. Do you have any questions?"

Zhou Yutang nodded slightly and took the production sheet from her.

I followed the filming location and took a look around.

When the crew saw Zhou Yutang, they immediately stopped what they were doing and said in a respectful tone:

"Hello, Mr. Zhou!"

"Hello, Mr. Zhou!"

Having personally experienced last night's news, I felt Zhou Yutang's influence more deeply. Now the entire "Detective Chinatown" crew treats him with even more respect.

"Boss, the chief of the Bangkok police department will come to meet with you later."

"I borrowed someone else's space, so I should say hello."

Today's scene is a crucial scene involving an important supporting character that takes place in the police station.

Tang Ren was involved in a gold case and was suspected of murder. He teamed up with his cousin Qin Feng to form an unlikely detective partnership and was wanted by the police.

Chen Chichi was wearing a tight vest and had a goatee under his chin.

His demeanor, movements, and tone seem a little mean, but that gives the audience the most intuitive impression.

——This is a good person.

"The Hard-Blooded Detective" Huang Langdeng is a superintendent of the Bangkok Police Department.

He worked diligently on the case and was always eager to make progress.

He has a nemesis at work, the police chief Kun Tai, played by Xiao Yang.

Kuntai is a righteous man. When the Baoqian case happened, everyone believed that Tang Ren was the murderer, but he still secretly saved his brother.

Today we filmed a scene between Huang Landeng and Kuntai in the Police Bureau.

Governor Tyrande personally gave the green light, and the crew directly requisitioned the Bangkok police station. It just so happened that they didn't even need to find extras, as there were many local police officers in the police station, who were all free anyway, so they could indulge in their acting addiction.

"Sir Kun, do you have anything else to say?"

"No, I want to make a statement here."

Xiao Yang scratched his head and said confidently, "I have nothing to do with this Tang Ren."

"Uuhahaha!"

Before he could finish, Chen Chichi laughed out loud with a playful look on his face, "Didn't you say that everyone in Chinatown knows that Tang Ren is your henchman?"

"And I heard that you are the boss behind that private detective agency."

"Crack!"

Zhou Yutang felt something was wrong and called Xiao Yang and Chen Chichi over:
"Chen Chichi's overall emotions were just right. You can relax your expression a little bit and adjust the rhythm of your lines."

Chen Chichi was very humble, and Xiao Yang also listened carefully to Zhou Yutang's explanation of the play.

For a mature actor like this, there is no need to spend too much time teaching. Zhou Yutang only needs to deliver the specific effect he wants.

Start shooting again.

Chen Chichi sat down on the table, raised his eyebrows, and emphasized the words "the boss behind the scenes", looking mean.

"I warned you not to talk nonsense!"

Xiao Yang pointed his finger at Chen Chichi and said sternly, "I'm suing you for defamation. Do you know that?"

"I'm suing you for libel!"

"He slandered me!"

The greasy middle-parted hair, the complicated short shirt with a tight white T-shirt underneath, can't even cover up the protruding belly.

Facing the gazes of everyone in the conference room, Xiao Yang's eyes widened and his voice was loud.

However, at this moment.

The new song Cupid by the girl group Jiangdong has been on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for several consecutive weeks.

“I'm feeling lonely lonely
Oh I wish I'd find a Lover that could hold me hold me~~~"

Zhou Yutang, who was standing behind the monitor, raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

This is a little Easter egg.

Kuntai, a greasy middle-aged man, actually uses the love Cupid ringtone that is full of girlishness, which is very cute in contrast.

The key point is that Baoqiang's distinctive smiling face appeared on the mobile phone screen that suddenly lit up.

broken!

Xiao Yang's expression changed, and he was about to take back the phone, but Chen Chichi grabbed it first.

The director clicked play with a serious expression.

The officers at the scene gathered around.

"Sawadika."

"Brother Tai, you..." Baoqi's anxious voice came out.

"What do you mean? How dare you kill someone?"

"I give you 6 hours to surrender to the police!"

"Brother Tai, I..."

"What do you mean by 'I'? You must not even think about running away. You must not even think about leaving Tyrande on a smuggling ship and then going to Vietnam..."

"Don't let me see you again. If I see you again, I will kill you in a minute!"

Xiao Yang hung up the phone angrily.

At this moment.

Kun Tai, his men, the chief of police, and Kun Tai's own men all had different expressions, but all their eyes were on him.

You could hear a pin drop in the entire conference room.

The atmosphere has become so tense, it seems inappropriate not to say something.

Xiao Yang raised his right hand and shouted with righteous indignation:

"I am sworn in with sin!"

"it is good!"

"Okay, passed."

There was a roar of applause. Ning Hao was beside Zhou Yutang, watching the footage behind the monitor, grinning and laughing foolishly.
“This is fun.”

There is a wonderful chemical reaction between the mean Chen Chichi and the greasy Xiao Yang.

The specific effect presented is so exciting that people can't help but want to laugh like a pig.

Zhou Yutang glanced across the scene. Except for Ning Hao, everyone else, including Happy Twist's twin assistant directors and the actors themselves, had smiles on their faces.

"Get ready for the next one."

After checking that there was no problem with the lens, Zhou Yutang nodded slightly and shouted.

He had high hopes for Xiao Yang when he was in "Old Boy", and now he really gave him a big surprise.

This is definitely a good thing for Zhou Yutang.

The better the actors perform, the better the comedy of the entire movie.

"Detective Chinatown" is a comedy suspense film after all, and a large part of the laughs in the script are created by Chen Chichi and Xiao Yang.

As for Chen Chi Chi, he plays the role in his true colors. He doesn't need to show much acting skills. He can make people laugh naturally just by standing there.

This is the charm of Zeng Xiaoxian, a classic character in the controversial sitcom series "Love Apartment".

This was also the main reason why Zhou Yutang abandoned the initial plan of asking Huang Bo to make a guest appearance, and then finally decided with the casting team to choose him to play this key supporting role.

The character of Zeng Xiaoxian is so deeply rooted in people's hearts that it is like a retirement insurance for Chen Chichi himself, but at the same time he is confined to this role.

after.

No matter what movie he plays, even if he plays a villain, the audience will think he is pretending and will be funny the next moment.

If there hadn’t been any accidents like the enlightenment at Longchang.

This was the end of Chen Chichi’s acting career.

Since its release, "The Monkey King: Hero is Back" has crushed Lingxiao with its overwhelming force.

In the first seven days of its release, the cumulative box office revenue reached 5.74 million!
It has created a series of records for Chinese animated films!
The support of national-level IP and conscientious production have created a breakthrough effect!

As a far-sighted animation industry professional said:

"In North America, the market system is mature, and there are several animated films in the top ten box office every year."

"If you want to expand the Chinese film market, you must let a hundred flowers bloom. For example, animated films should account for at least 15% of the box office. So Zhou Yutang's layout of animated films is probably also to expand the types of films on the market."

"Congratulations to him for winning a great battle. The Monkey King: Hero is Back has successfully expanded the domestic animation audience."

The Monkey King killed his way through the entire summer season, leaving corpses everywhere.

Er Dongsheng's genius marketing was ultimately short-lived. Ever since the Monkey King made his debut, the film had no more screenings and eventually exited the theaters with a box office of 6473 million.

The domestic box office of "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" and "Gardenia Blossoms" has also been determined.

The former closed at 3.18 million, and the latter closed at 3.89 million. They fought each other for more than ten days, but they were destined not to finish their release period.

The most regrettable thing is "The Tuner", which had the momentum to hit 1 billion, but it was abruptly suppressed.

Entering the fourth week, the daily box office dropped to around 7 to 8 million, and the box office growth was slow.

"The total box office of "The Piano Tuner" is reported to be 8.93 million, and it may stop just before the billion box office threshold!"

News releases from various domestic media outlets are all reporting on this matter.

The crew of "The Piano Tuner" finished their roadshow and held a celebration banquet in Beijing.

According to the statistics of the data department, there are only a few days left and the final box office will be around 9.15 million yuan.

As a crime drama film, it is quite amazing to achieve such results.

Cao Baoping used this to prove himself as a master of crime films, and Liu Shishi's acting skills were also recognized.

While the movie is still in theaters, her team has already received several high-level business resources.

Zhou Yutang was abroad and did not attend the celebration banquet, but he created a group and sent out several rounds of red envelopes.

During the filming breaks, the crew members were also paying attention to the news in China.

"Brother Chen Kai is in trouble."

"How to say?"

Zhou Yutang became interested and took Ni Ni's phone and took a look.
A certain heavyweight from the Zhongdao Association stood up to question poet Chen and issued a severe condemnation.
"The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain arbitrarily vilifies Taoism and the image of Taoists, and violates many policies and regulations. We demand that Chen Kaige and the film producers make a public apology to the Taoist community and society and eliminate the impact!"

"The protagonist of the film, He Anxia, ​​climbed a ladder to spy on someone's privacy, aroused lust, and after killing someone, he knelt down and begged a monk to confess his sins and seek comfort."

"Mr. Chen Kaige, where is your morality? What is your intention? What is your purpose?"

"."

This time, the problem escalated to the level of religion, causing Chen Kaige and his wife to become extremely anxious.

After taking office as Dean Chen of Shanghai University, poet Chen returned to the crew of "The Great Wall" and held a media conference to clarify and apologize.

The movie’s box office flop was bad enough, and now it was another blow to the heart.

Producer Chen Hong said, "A movie was ruined by one person!"

According to Chen Kaige, the role of Peng Qizi, played by Prince Long, plays a key role in connecting the second half of the plot.

Because of him, the promotion period was shortened, resulting in a slump in the movie box office.
"If a project fails, someone has to take the blame."

Ning Hao laughed softly and said, "Saying that he's exchanging movies for money is despicable. Does that mean he doesn't want to exchange it?"

However, Feng Xiaogang, one of the three major directors, actually stood up to support Chen Shishi: "It is morning in Los Angeles now, the sky is blue and the sun is bright, I am at the top of the mountain, and I have a broad view.

I remember what Kai said in an interview, "How much can we directors decide? But we have to bear the responsibility."

The subject matter, the title, the narration, every scene and every line, a movie is already covered in scars when it is released.

We have been called upon to produce works that are worthy of the times, but we have been stuck in the quagmire of being worthy of the times. We want to run, but our feet are dragging in the mud. "

"Isn't this running pretty fast?"

Chen Xi said sarcastically, "They all bought luxury homes in the Hollywood Hills in Los Angeles and breathed the sweet air there."

"."

Zhou Yutang's expression twitched slightly.

It seems that his most beloved general does not like the little steel cannon.

Because he had made remarks about Chen Xi's identity as a female producer in his early years.

"The boss has companies and businesses overseas, and his cross-border investments are legal and compliant. How did Director Feng's money get to America?"

"It's almost time to rest, let's continue filming."

Wang Baoqi, who plays He Anxia, ​​is now in Zhou Yutang's crew. His scene will be rehearsed next, but he is not in good shape today.

"Bao, what happened?"

"No."

Wang Baoqi lowered his head and apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry, director, I'm holding you back."

"It's not a big problem."

Zhou Yutang encouraged him, "The character of Tang Ren is greedy, lustful, unhygienic, and full of big words. You need to be more outgoing in your performance, and your movements and expressions can be a little more exaggerated."

"I understand, Director."

Wang Baoqi nodded solemnly.

It was really pleasant to work with such a good actor, and Bao Qi quickly adjusted his state.

The movie "Detective Chinatown" was not difficult to shoot.

Zhou Yutang often orders Ning Hao around.

In addition, the twin stars of Happy Twist were arranged to lead another group.

Shoot some less important shots to push the overall progress.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner according to the established shooting plan.

While Zhou Yutang was on the set, there was breaking news coming from the domestic film and television circles.

It's like pouring cold water into a boiling oil pan.

The entire Chinese film and television industry was in an uproar!
