China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 672: The first person to export culture, supernatural powers cannot defeat destiny

Huo Wenxi glanced at Zhong Chuxi out of the corner of his eye.

Then he returned to Zhou Yutang.

I questioned their relationship in my heart.

The mature woman's face remained calm.

To her.

It doesn’t matter whether Chung Chuxi has a relationship with Zhou Yutang or not.

As long as he can cling to Zhou Yutang's thigh and get on board the Jiangdong ship - even if he has a harem in the crew, Huo Wenxi, as the producer, will do his best to cover for him.

"A Tang."

Huo Wenxi pulled Zhou Yutang aside to talk about something: "Do you have any ideas about the next two movies?"

Yinghuang Group’s previous “500 million blockbuster plan” failed, and now the group has readjusted its strategy and wants to be deeply tied to Zhou Yutang.

The early relationship management was very successful, and we got a verbal agreement to co-produce three films between the two places over five years.

The "Operation Mekong" he is currently participating in is the first one, and Huo Wenxi is concerned about the remaining two films.

"Mani, so anxious?"

"Ugh."

Huo Wenxi sighed: "You also know that I am under a lot of pressure now."

A woman, especially a charming woman.

Showing weakness in front of a man in a proper way often has unexpected effects.

Huo Wenxi was able to get Boss Yang to hand over all of Yinghuang Group's business in the mainland. She is undoubtedly a very capable woman who knows how to use her own advantages.

Zhou Yutang frowned and laughed, "Let's talk about it after the Operation Mekong project is finished."

"Can you tell me what the subject is?"

Seeing that he didn't buy it, the beautiful lady felt helpless.

"Mani, what kind of movies do you think Hong Kong is suitable for?"

The question Zhou Yutang asked made Huo Wenxi stunned for a moment.

What kind of movies are Hong Kong directors suitable for making? This is probably a question that many Hong Kong directors are trying to explore.

For example, Huang Baiming has focused on comedy themes for twenty years.

For example, Wu Baige and Li Rengang were dedicated to historical themes and wanted to play up grand historical scenes in China, but they ended up being severely beaten by reality.

Another big Hong Kong director, Chen Kexing, has come to his senses after the failure of "Wuxia" and has set his sights on making biographical films based on realistic themes.

Specially selects characters with extraordinary experiences in contemporary China for film and television adaptation.

After tasting the sweetness of success with the movie "Chinese Partners", he then set his sights on another mainland legend.

——Li Na, the only Asian woman to win a Grand Slam women’s singles title.

This is a tricky way.

Since it is impossible to integrate into the mainland culturally, I will just film the lives of contemporary figures that are familiar to mainland audiences.

"Hong Kong also has its own advantages."

Zhou Yutang didn't keep the secret and said with a smile: "For example, police and gangster, action movies, as long as they are above standard, there will definitely be audiences willing to pay for them."

If a movie of the quality of "Infernal Affairs" were released in today's Chinese film market, the box office would not be bad.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
He was talking to Florence Hui while firecrackers were popping over there.

After worshiping the gods.

Including all the crew members, everyone received a red envelope and was in a festive mood.

Zhou Yutang did not stay long and set off for home after the opening ceremony.

On the flight back home, I read the latest news for a while.

The International Olympic Committee announced that Beijing has won the right to host the 2022 Winter Olympics. Beijing will also become the first city in history to host both the Summer Olympics and the Winter Olympics.

The little steel cannon has been standing up again recently. Congratulations to "Old Cannon" for being selected for the screening section of the Venice Film Festival and as the closing film.

It's a pity.

If "The Burning Sun" had not been submitted to the film festival, it might have had a chance to make a name for itself in Venice.

Just yesterday, Cao Baoping took a leave from the crew and returned to Beijing to attend the premiere of "The Sun Also Rises".

Ni Ni was very considerate and compiled the movie’s first day data.

Twenty-four million in half a day, the attendance is pretty good. Given the quality of this movie, its box office performance is worth looking forward to.

After having so much fun these past two days, Zhou Yutang felt sleepy and took a short nap.

"Boss, something happened to Tyrande."

After the plane landed, Zhou Yutang learned from Ni Ni that an explosion occurred in the center of Bangkok, Thailand today.

There were many casualties, including some Chinese citizens who were traveling there.

I just realized that I have received many calls and messages from relatives and friends. They all know that he is filming in Bangkok, Thailand, and they are always worried.

After replying one by one to report safety, Zhou Yutang remembered something and chatted with Lao Zhou for a few more words.

It has been a very eventful time recently.

Some time ago, the events in Tianjin, China, shocked the whole country.

Celebrities and artists from the entertainment industry donated money, and Jackie Chan donated 300 million.

Huang Xiaoming and his wife Qin Lan donated 200 million yuan, and Teacher Fan, Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi and others each donated million yuan.

Even sister Zifeng asked her mother to help donate money.

Zhou Yutang was not in the country, but he remotely controlled the Jiangdong Charity Foundation to donate 10 million yuan.

The money was not handed over to other organizations for operation, but was managed by the Jiangdong Charity Foundation, and was mainly used for the families of the firefighters and police officers who died or were injured in this incident.

On the way back to the company, Zhou Yutang made sure that nothing happened to the crew of Operation Mekong, but he still felt a little heavy:

"Nini, how is the arrangement for Baoqi's matter going?"

"All the information submitted by Zhuo Wei is here."

Ni Ni opened a folder on the tablet and handed it over.

There are lots of photos, chat logs, and recordings.
This was also what Zhou Yutang had instructed a long time ago.

Let the paparazzi under Zhuo Wei Studio follow up the people around Bao Qie with all their strength.

With careful planning, it is not difficult to get the real evidence.

"Alas, Baoliu is a pretty good person, how could this happen?"

When Ni Ni thought of Bao Qie's honest smile, she felt complicated and uncomfortable.

Any normal person would feel upset when seeing an honest person being bullied, especially an honest person who can be considered a friend of his.

“Good people are often bullied.”

Zhou Yutang tapped his legs lightly with his fingers, his eyes flashing with coldness.

Based on the evidence collected so far, the heartless guy next to Bao Qie should go in and operate the sewing machine.

At present, Baoqian has also received the information and knows the truth.

As for how he wanted to deal with Ma Jinlian, Zhou Yutang had no way of knowing and it was not convenient for him to intervene.

After all, this is someone else's family affair, and Ma Jinlian is the mother of his child after all.

After talking to Ni Ni about Bao Qie for a while, Zhou Yutang suddenly thought of Jackie Chan.

Putting aside other things, Jackie Chan really has a clear understanding of women.

This society has always been like this.

Many women lack the ability to recognize their own position.

We pay too much attention to material things and want to use the shortest shortcut to make the most money.

The superiors issued twelve golden medals in succession, urgently summoning Zhou Yutang back to Beijing.

The leisurely vacation time is over, and the seminar is finally here.

"I'm waiting for you to come to this meeting."

At the venue, Director Tong patted Zhou Yutang on the shoulder as soon as they met and asked, "Is the filming of Operation Mekong going smoothly?"

"Thanks to the Children's Bureau, everything went smoothly."

Zhou Yutang exchanged a few words with Tong Gang, and did not forget to say hello to Mr. Guang’s colleagues.

The scale of this seminar was different, and the higher-ups were alarmed, even the leaders of the Long Propaganda Department came to supervise it in person.

But the absolute protagonist is undoubtedly Zhou Yutang.

The leader in front of him set the tone for cultural output, and he did not use a manuscript, but directly took advantage of the topic and talked freely.

"We have always emphasized cultural output. What is cultural output?"

"To put it simply, it means selling things with Chinese characteristics abroad through various channels, so that people in other countries in the world can recognize and understand our Chinese culture.

This channel may be a TV series, an animation, a video, or a game.
When foreigners see the scenery of a certain place, they will be curious and want to learn more about it, and even go there to travel, sightsee, and shop when appropriate."

This will bring more valuable economic consumption to our country. This is the impact of cultural output. Our country has sufficient cultural heritage and increasingly strong national strength. We didn’t have this path before, but we will be able to find such a path in the future. This has always been our ideal and goal.”

Tong Gang looked at Zhou Yutang who was in great spirits. In addition to the suit that revealed his tall and straight figure, he was also wearing a pair of black-framed plain glasses, which made him look even more gentle and elegant.

Listening to what he said really makes people excited.

Beneath Tong Gang's calm expression, his heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

Just a few days ago, at a meeting, the boss called his name again.

No one has ever had such an honor.

Wow!
After eldest brother Zhou Yutang finished speaking, big brother Long Xuan smiled slightly and led the applause.

The top leader attaches great importance to ideological work, and Zhou Yutang's words really touched his heart.

Nearly fifty experts and scholars from government departments, academia, film and television industry, commentary industry, media industry, etc. gave warm applause at the scene.

Tian Zhuangzhuang was also at the meeting. When he saw his beloved disciple being pulled aside by Boss Long Xuan to talk after the meeting, he couldn't help smiling.

There were many familiar old men and women nearby who were so envious that their teeth were about to fall out.

The movie "Yang Guifei" that Old Tian made together with Zhang Yimou and Shi Qing failed at the box office, but he earned back all his reputation thanks to his favorite student.

The flag bearer of the rising animation industry!
The first person to export Chinese culture!
This is a figure who is worthy of being included in the entire Chinese film and television hall of fame. An old man with gray hair pulled Tian Zhuangzhuang and said with a smile: "Old Tian, ​​go back and talk to Xiao Zhou about the association's affairs."

"Yu Tang is still too young and not suitable."

Tian Zhuangzhuang immediately blocked it for Zhou Yutang with a smile.

This was something that the master and disciple had already discussed privately.

Zhou Yutang had no interest in dealing with these old men and women.

Instead of spending time on this, he might as well take Miss Liu out on a date.

After the meeting, I left and went to the theater to watch the drama "Building the Prince's Palace" in which Liu Yifei participated.

He took off his suit jacket, put on a hat, mask and black-framed plain glasses, and sat in the back row quietly and low-key.

This play tells the story of a shoddy construction project that took place during the Republic of China period. An auditorium in Haixi City, which had just been built for less than a month, collapsed due to continuous rain.

A group of students rehearsing a play were buried under the ruins of the auditorium, while the police and construction workers who were building the palace were arguing and confusing right and wrong.

It seems absurd, but it reflects reality.

Zhou Yutang read the information and found the director quite interesting.

He graduated from the directing department of the Central Academy of Drama and is a part-time actor. He even played Wei Choufu in "The Rise of the Great Qin Empire".

I watched the drama performance with great interest and went backstage before it ended.

He happened to run into Director Wu Yuze, and his body trembled, and his pupils trembled directly:
"You are."

"I'll pick you up."

Zhou Yutang took off his mask and said with a smile: "Congratulations, your performance just now was wonderful. Can you add WeChat?"

"Thank you, thank you, ok."

Wu Yuze hurriedly took out his phone, perhaps too excited, and spoke incoherently:

"You are here to pick up Yifei. I saw you attending the launch conference of Operation Mekong in Tyrande yesterday."

A female behind-the-scenes staff member who was passing by screamed out loud.

This caused quite a stir.

Soon, more and more people gathered around. Zhou Yutang patted Wu Yuze on the shoulder, smiled and left.

After a while, Liu Yifei, who had changed her clothes, came over.

The kiss was so passionate that Miss Liu's breathing became a little rapid.

The ups and downs of the arc seem to be some kind of ice cream with a milky aroma.
Recently, Miss Liu shot the cover of "VOGUE" in September, and then shot the cover of "Marie Claire" in October.

Removed the brand platform.

Most of the rest of the time was spent on drama.

This was also the advice Zhou Yutang gave her.

Given his talent, there is no shortcut if he wants to improve his acting skills.

We can only accumulate more experience in order to achieve a qualitative change in our performance techniques.

Seeing Liu Shishi's natural acting in "The Piano Tuner", Miss Liu seemed not to care on the surface, but in fact she was secretly competing with her.

He turned down dozens of scripts and devoted himself to drama performances.

This Wu Yuze was introduced by teacher Liu Tianchi. He is considered to be a top talent in the Central Academy of Drama in recent years who can both direct and act.

Zhou Yutang had said earlier that he wanted to go see the show, but he didn't have time, so he only had time today.

Only after seeing it with my own eyes did I realize that Liu Yifei is really dedicated.

For a top female star, it is simply incredible to spend her energy on drama.

After the tenderness ended, Liu Yifei snuggled up to Zhou Yutang and muttered, "Xiao Zhou, there is an actor in our drama troupe who performs very well."

"What is your name?"

"I'm from the Central Academy of Drama, Jiang Qiming, and I just graduated this year."

Zhou Yutang thought about it and had some impression. He said briefly, "He is indeed very talented. Has he signed with an agency?"

"do not know."

Miss Liu hugged Zhou Yutang's arm and said, "I heard that he seems to have a contract for a TV series, but it has been postponed for more than two months and has not started filming yet. Do you want to sign him?"

"Jiangdong needs such talents."

Zhou Yutang chatted and laughed with Liu Yifei and sent a message to Zhou Shufang.

In less than five minutes, Zhou Shufang sent the detailed information and made a special note that there was no agency.

Zhou Shufang's ability is unquestionable as she is able to firmly establish herself as the big sister of Jiangdong Entertainment's artist management department, surpassing Yang Tianzhen.

Based on the Jiangdong database established with the help of ByteDance, detailed information of most artists in the circle can be quickly retrieved.

"Sister Fang, you can get in touch with Jiang Qiming and Director Wu Yuze."

After sending a voice message to Zhou Shufang, Zhou Yutang stopped worrying about the matter.

Jiangdong Entertainment needs a popular young actor like Lu Han, but also a talented and talented actor like Jiang Qiming as the supporting actor.

As for Wu Yuze, he can be taken in and handed over to Lin Yufen to take care of.

If he is given a project to work on in the future, it will be worth his special treatment to Miss Liu, who has a relationship with him.

On the way to his own cinema with Liu Yifei, Zhou Yutang commented on Miss Liu's fashion photos from time to time.

“This is a nice shot.”

Since the Chinese edition of VOGUE was founded in 2005, there have been only four female celebrities from China who have appeared on the cover of the September issue.

They are: Zhang Manyu, Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, and Fan Binbin.

Today, Liu Yifei is the fifth person.

A simple white vest is paired with a black miniskirt, and her plump legs are wrapped in a pair of thin black stockings.

It is clean and elegant, yet a little sexy.

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at him in annoyance: "Stinky Xiao Zhou, you are too lewd. You just like me wearing this."

"Then you should wear this tonight."

"."

After watching "The Sun Also Rises", Miss Liu was still able to remain calm and could only sigh at the excellent acting skills of Deng Chao, Duan Yihong, Wang Jianhui and others.

After watching the second show of "Go Away Tumor" today, Liu Yifei was deeply moved.

This movie is considered a masterpiece at the end of the summer season with good reputation and box office.

After two weeks of release, the film has grossed 300 million yuan.

Wanda made a lot of money.

By the end of August, the box office growth of "The Return of the Great Sage" gradually slowed down. Since Long Xuan came out to support it, a new wave of movie-watching has been set off.

The total box office has now reached 18.85 billion yuan, and it seems that it will not be difficult to cross the 19 billion yuan threshold.

After the release of "The Pancake Man", the final box office was fixed at 11.45 billion, and it ended together with "The Crossing" which only earned 5024 million.

The only remaining movie among the three summer blockbusters, "Monster Hunt", has also applied for an extension key, and its total box office has now exceeded 16.15 billion.

As the saying goes, supernatural powers cannot defeat destiny.

Boss Jiang used many tricks, but he was ultimately unable to stop the overwhelming momentum of The Return of the Great Sage.

As August approached, the film market was a little quiet. Lin Chaoxian, who I had just met in Telander, directed "Breaking Wind" and wanted to create a new track in sports films.

As a result, the box office on the first day was 897 million, and the box office in the first week was 7013 million, which was undoubtedly a loss-making film.

Director Lin is best at making police and gangster action films. Fists, guns, explosions, and car chases are all his specialties. But when it comes to filming literary dramas, he really struggles.

Zhou Yutang was glad that he found Chen Musheng as his partner.

In the movie "City of Love" co-directed by Dong Runnian and other emerging directors such as Han Yi, Da Mimi played the female lead in the first unit, Prague. The movie only grossed 470 million on the first day and was a cold performance at the box office.

On the contrary, "Bride Wars", produced by Bonnar and directed by Chen Guohui, took advantage of the Chinese Valentine's Day and earned 9042 million on the first day, firmly sitting on the single-day box office champion.

“There are quite a few acquaintances.”

Zhou Yutang looked at the cast list: Zhang Ruojun, Chen Xiao, Yang Ying, and Tang Yixin.

Four actors, three of them are from the same family.

Zhang Ruojun brought Tang Yixin into the group this time and he really helped her succeed.

Back in the capital, the post-production of "Detective Chinatown" is the top priority.

Zhou Yutang also took some time to focus on the post-production work of several TV series.

Jiang Xueluan came to report on her work: "Boss Zhou, the post-production of "The Journey of Flower" and "Nirvana in Fire" has been completed, and the remaining "Joy of Life 3" will take some time."

"Finally done."

Zhou Yutang nodded slightly.

Today, Jiangdong Entertainment's operating system is quite mature. As early as the beginning of the "The Journey of Flower" project, a special effects plan had been put forward, and several special effects teams followed suit.

The special effects of "The Journey of Flower" cost a lot of money, and Hu Ge's Mei Changsu in "Nirvana in Fire" is destined to be another masterpiece in his acting career.

After Zhou Yutang personally reviewed the two dramas, he was very satisfied with the final results, which basically met his expectations.

Completion of post-production means that the TV series can be broadcast.

Compared to other producers, after making a drama, they are afraid that it will not be sold or broadcast, and they engage in all kinds of PY transactions.

even.

Some producers will even spend huge sums of money to agree to the minimum ratings guarantee conditions proposed by certain insects on the TV station.

That is, the amount of money transferred to shell companies set up by insiders of the TV station to manipulate the ratings of TV dramas always starts at at least tens of millions.

The water is too deep here.

But what bothered Zhou Yutang the most was which TV station to broadcast it on.

The Big Three all have close cooperative relationships with Jiangdong Entertainment.

Last year, Anhui TV also showed a considerable degree of sincerity and really supported the Jiangdong artists at the National Drama Festival.

This time.

It is also involved in the arms race among television stations.
