China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 701 The popularity of "The Journey of Flower", Zhou Ye's coming-of-age ceremony

The industry originally thought that "The Princess Weiyoung" was already invincible enough.

I didn’t expect there to be experts.

After "The Journey of Flower" was broadcasted on both Mango TV and Jiangsu Province, it was like my flower blooms and then all other flowers die.

The two stations alternately topped the domestic satellite TV ratings list, and the hit drama "The Legend of Miyue" co-produced by Shanghai TV and Beijing TV was no match for them.

Mango TV and Jiangsu TV scheduled this fantasy drama at the beginning of the year and invested a lot of publicity resources in it.

The Jiangdong series’ full-channel promotion has made this TV series the focus of much attention.

If we say that Zhang Tianai gained hundreds of thousands of fans every day because of "The Rise of Phoenixes", it can be said that she rose to fame overnight.

It is even more astonishing that Zhao Liying's number of fans increased by millions just a few days after the TV series was aired.

"The combined audience share of these two satellite TV stations is over 25%. What kind of monster is this!?"

"Zhou Yutang has brought out another top actress."

"This Zhao Xiaogu is quite strong. I'm afraid the 85 flower pattern will change drastically in the future."

"Since Nirvana in Fire, Jiangdong has produced several hit dramas this year, and Zhou Yutang's hit drama hasn't even aired yet."

The industry has been discussing this these days.

Those who bought Zhao Liying's shares in advance were naturally delighted.

For example, the producers behind the two film and television projects "Zhu Xian" and "Passing by Your World".

There are also film and television companies studying the market trends. Just as Zhou Yutang's "Come on, Mr. Love" made urban sweet pet dramas popular, many similar sweet pet dramas have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Now, "The Journey of Flower" has opened up a new track in the theme of the tragic love between a master and his apprentice and the fairy tale.

Can be imagined.

Next, a bunch of TV dramas with similar themes were launched.

As for the domestic TV stations, they actually already had psychological expectations a long time ago.

Those who need to move up should move up, and those who need to move down should move down.

But after seeing the TV series "New Year's Eve" being killed twice by Jiang Dong, I still feel terrified.

This year, the overall market of the drama industry has been completely brought to a climax by Jiangdong Entertainment.

Some people have revealed various information online, saying that before the drama "The Journey of Flower" was aired, The Grand Commander had already achieved several small profit goals.

In fact, Zhou Yutang’s income is far more than that.

Today, Jiangdong’s film and television drama development model has entered a new version.

Long before the TV series project was confirmed, relevant background checks were done, and the development of peripheral derivative copyright output such as games was carried out simultaneously.

With the popularity of the TV series "The Journey of Flower", the mobile game of the same name developed by Xingchen Games and endorsed by Zhao Liying was also launched in a timely manner.

Whether you watch this TV series on TV or on the website, you can see advertisements promoting mobile games.

Many curious viewers downloaded mobile games while watching the show.

Mobile games rely on the popularity of IP and are highly consistent with the content of the TV series.

While waiting for the TV series to be broadcast, the audience can eat "The Journey of Flower" spicy noodles, hug Tangbao dolls, and relive the plot of the TV series in the game.

The big spenders start to drop gold coins, and casual players can also enhance their sense of immersion.

Zhou Yutang has already tasted the sweetness of success with this year's "Nirvana in Fire", and the traffic of "The Journey of Flower" is even greater than that.

"Seventy million in revenue in the first week?"

After hearing this number from Star CEO Chen Min, even Zhou Yutang was slightly moved. "It seems that this has created the most profitable record for Star mobile games, right?"

Wangzhe is still in the period of accumulating users and increasing its influence, and its income is not too high.

"There will be another event on New Year's Day."

Chen Min said confidently: "It won't be a problem to achieve 200 million in turnover in the first month."

The revenue from web games and mobile games is enough to cover the cost of the "PUBG" and "Black Myth" series.
Zhou Yutang was in a good mood and asked, "How much is the bonus for this year's annual meeting?"

"Nine million."

"It mentioned eighteen million."

As soon as Zhou Yutang opened his mouth, he doubled the amount.

He never monopolizes all the benefits.

I made a lot of money this time, so I have to let my brothers have some meat during the New Year.

"Mr. Zhou is awesome!"

Chen Min also smiled and flattered him.

He now admires Zhou Yutang's foresight and the tone he set for the development of Star Games.

Making web games and mobile games in China is really like carrying a sack of money.

of course.

Some people are happy and some are sad.

Jiangdong Entertainment is making great strides, and the employees have become more cohesive because their year-end bonuses have doubled.

On the other hand, the situation of Tangren and Zhejiang Blueberry TV is somewhat embarrassing.

Last month, "The Disguiser" and "The Legend of Miyue" were still competing with each other. The latter is a big drama with a total of 81 episodes, running from November to December.

"The Legend of Qin", which wanted to get ahead of the Lunar New Year box office, failed and was buried.

Zhejiang Province Blueberry TV spent a huge amount of money and suffered huge losses. The TV station has been in a gloomy mood these days.

Jin Daxi's career seemed to be overshadowed, and even Tangren's leading actor and kung fu boy Jiang Jingfu had changed his mind and was rumored to terminate his contract and run away.

"I really want to leave."

Zhou Yutang received some gossip on the set and couldn't help but complain to Liu Shishi: "Old Cai is really too stingy."

I don’t know which guy leaked the explosive information to the media.

Tangren actor Jiang Jingfu's total pay for filming 35 episodes of "Xuanyuan Sword" was only 7 yuan, and his pay for "Qin's Moon" was only one-tenth of that of another male lead.
"Ms. K said it was Jiang Jingfu's team and Zhou Yanxi who did it."

Liu Shishi was also a little confused. Although she was a shareholder of Tangren, she was not involved in the brokerage business.

"Zhou Yanxi?"

Zhou Yutang frowned when he heard this name which sounded familiar yet not so familiar.

As capital poured into the entertainment industry, film and television companies sprang up like mushrooms after a rain.

Many film and television company bosses would take the initiative to come up to him and say hello and show their goodwill in some public occasions.

But unless you have a very strong background, it is difficult to remember it completely.

It was Ni Ni who reminded him, "At the beginning of the millennium, I worked on the overall planning and execution of King Liu's concert tour. The people brought up by Hai Yan later started Xitian Films and then started their own company. They are currently discussing financing with Fuxing Group."

"Quite brave."

Zhou Yutang nodded slightly and turned to continue talking about this with Liu Shishi.

After all, what Cai Yinong did was not fair.

You want the horse to run away, but you don't give it grass to eat. The other party is not stupid. He will find the next buyer and prepare to run away.

Jiang Jingfu has been in the industry for a few years and is fairly well-known.

Capital is pouring into the entertainment industry, and pay is soaring across the industry. He also wants to make progress, so how could he be content to just earn this little money?
The female fans of Kung Fu Boy collectively posted on Weibo, denouncing Tangren as a factory of blood and tears.

However, Jiang Jingfu was not as scheming as Lin Gou, and he just wanted to do it first without thinking about the consequences.

Lin Gou, who had escaped from the Tang people last time, was a master at judging people and trying to please them. He immediately came to lick Governor Zhou’s lip service.

"Boss, how should we deal with this?" Ni Ni narrowed her eyes.

"Wait a minute, maybe Haiyan will call."

Zhou Yutang looked calm and didn't take it to heart at all: "I still have a hostage in my hands."

Ni Ni smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

The crew went to Hengdian to shoot the palace scenes.

Zhou Ye, who had changed into the princess's costume, hid behind the clothes rack in Zhou Yutang's exclusive lounge.

Watching Zhou Yutang and Zhang Ruolan rehearsing their lines.

I was thinking about how to go out and say hello to the two of them so that I wouldn't seem so deliberate.

Things have changed in the lounge.

Without any warning, the two began to cuddle and kiss.

Zhou Yetan's mouth slightly opened, his eyes widened, and his breathing almost stopped.

Zhang Ruolan was probably inexperienced and a little clumsy.

But Zhou Yutang was undoubtedly an experienced driver, and his movements were so skillful that Zhou Ye blushed and felt nervous.

Her feet felt like they were stepping on cotton and her body felt weak.

I really wish I had the magic to teleport instantly, or put on an invisibility cloak and quickly escape from this embarrassing place.

I wanted to just rush out, but I lacked the courage and my mind went blank.

There are some things that women seem to be able to learn naturally.

Zhou Yutang held Zhang Ruolan's slender waist, picked her up, and sat her astride his legs.

Not long after.

The light blue shoulder strap fell off the girl's fair shoulders.
"Ka, call Zhou Ye over."

"Ono, the monitor wants to see you."

The costume on his body was a bit heavy, and Zhou Ye was a little nervous. He followed the script supervisor closely to the back of the monitor.

She has acted in movies before and knows that when she encounters this kind of situation, it is usually because she has not done her job well.

In fact, this is exactly the case.

This scene required a lot of her.

According to the ideas conveyed by Zhou Yutang.

It must be pure and lovable, and beautiful like the crushed white moonlight.

The person explaining the play to Zhou Ye was the executive director Guo Hu, who looked like a simple and honest good man, and his voice was not harsh:
"Xiao Ye, you just weren't in the right mood, what were you thinking about?"

Zhou Ye felt quite embarrassed, and stuck out his tongue cutely, and quickly apologized: "Director, I'm sorry, I was distracted just now."

"Be more careful next time." Seeing that she was worried and felt somewhat guilty, Guo Hu slowed down his tone.

He carefully conveyed the specific filming requirements to Zhou Ye and comforted him: "Take your time, this scene is very important, think about what I told you."

"Yeah, I tried my best."

She was talking to director Guo Hu, but her eyes uncontrollably glanced at Zhou Yutang, who looked particularly heroic in a black battle robe.

It is said that the Grand Admiral was an ancient person chosen by heaven and was extremely handsome, but there is still a huge gap between seeing those handsome photos on the Internet and seeing him in person.

Especially at this moment, he was sitting behind the monitor with his arms and legs spread, discussing shooting issues with Lin Yufen and the director of photography. His aura, which was not usually seen, was particularly captivating.

"Oh, don't worry, NG is normal, just focus on filming and don't think too much..."

Guo Hu could not bear to criticize such a little girl, thinking that she was too nervous, and immediately comforted her:

"You have to immerse yourself in it later, imagine yourself as Jin Shan, and your emotions will burst out more strongly..."

"..."

Zhou Ye seemed to be listening obediently.

But he couldn't help but let his mind wander, thinking back to the powerful scene in the lounge.

During the passionate kiss, Zhang Ruolan even hummed with shyness and pleasure.
"Zhou Ye, Zhou Ye, what are you thinking about?"

"He is that kind of person! Don't think about these things, just do your own thing!"

Despite repeated warnings to herself, certain fantasies, like a spark, ignited in the wasteland of the girl's heart.

"Photography team, how are the camera positions prepared?"

"Ready, Director."

"OK, ready to turn on."

"Actor touching up makeup."

"Scene, quiet, 3, 2, 1, start!"

That superior face was still pure and innocent, especially now with the exquisite and luxurious makeup on, she looked like a graceful and elegant princess.

But in her eyes, there is a sparkling light
Guo Hu secretly praised Zhou Yutang for his excellent vision.

It is said that apart from the heroine Zhang Ruolan, this little girl named Zhou Ye was also chosen by the Grand Commander.

"Congratulations, Ono."

Although he didn't have many scenes and the filming was completed in three days, the crew still prepared a wrap-up ceremony for Zhou Ye.

Zhou Ye was a little touched, but when she took the flowers from Zhang Ruolan, her eyes looked a little strange.

Zhang Ruolan didn't notice this.

Her attention was all on Zhou Yutang, and she had no time to care about anything else.

I just heard that Zhou Ye is a newcomer that Jiangdong Entertainment is very optimistic about, so it is necessary to maintain a good relationship with him. After all, he may be a future colleague.

"Happy wrap, Ono!"

Zhang Ruolan gave Zhou Ye a warm hug.

However, Zhou Ye secretly glanced at Zhou Yutang.

In the three days since she joined the group, Zhou Yutang actually had little time to talk to her.

Even time management masters have their limits.

Tomorrow, Governor Zhou will take a leave of absence from the crew to promote the movie.

He was discussing the crew's next shooting arrangements with director Lin Yufen.

In order to accommodate Zhou Yutang's schedule, other actors in the crew, including Long Ge and Gao Ye, made considerable sacrifices.

As the crew was in the final stage of production, apart from Zhou Yutang's reshoots, Brother Long and Gao Ye would probably have to stay on the crew for another two weeks.

Although he has only been in the group for a short time, Zhou Ye is very sweet-talker.

They all called her "teacher" all the time. From Zhou Yutang to directors Lin Yufen and Yu Feihong, assistant director Guo Hu, and the head of the lighting team, everyone had a very good impression of her.

——It could also be because of Zhou Yutang.

This is what Zhou Ye thought in his heart.

There have long been rumors in the martial arts world that he was the person specifically requested by the Grand Commander of Jiangdong.

"The Accidental Murderer" was her debut film. This time in "The Lonely and Great God", she didn't have many roles, but she was given a very outstanding role.

Zhou Ye also often surfs the Internet.

I saw some discussion about the Pisces Girl. She is the Pisces Girl who is second only to Zhang Zifeng in age.

The image of Zhou Yutang in her mind has always been tall and majestic.

She often felt incredible.

In fact, Zhou Yutang is only ten years older than himself, but he has achieved achievements that even his teacher would admire and respect.

I often use Zhou Yutang to motivate students.

Such a handsome and gentle Governor Zhou was doing such a thing in the lounge.
This is consistent with his personality. He is not a good man to begin with. One of his best friends even joked that she wanted to be his mistress.

"Are you going back to prepare for the art exam?"

"Ah."

"Come on, see you in the capital."

Zhou Yutang's deep eyes glanced at him lightly, as if he could see through Zhou Ye's thoughts.

Girls of this age are not good at hiding their thoughts.

Especially her eyes, which always unconsciously moved between herself and Zhang Ruolan.

After a little exploration, I got a lot of information.

But it doesn't matter even if she knows.

After being in a high position for a long time, Zhou Yutang's mentality has subtly changed.

……

I originally wanted to go over the script with Zhang Ruolan the night before leaving.

Sublimate the feelings again.

I didn’t expect Sister Yu wanted to have a deeper discussion about art.

Governor Zhou has never been a person who easily gets bored with the old and loves the new.

So I happily accepted the invitation and spent a pleasant evening.

He left the crew quietly without notifying the media.

But there were still some reporters who persevered and waited outside the crew and discovered some clues.

Soon, the news that Zhou Yutang asked for leave and left the crew quickly grabbed the headlines of major media.
"During the filming of the TV series "The Lonely and Great God" starring Zhou Yutang, Zhu Yilong, Gao Ye, and Zhang Ruolan, the Grand Commander left the crew in a low-key manner, presumably to promote the new movie "Detective Chinatown"!"

After returning to Beijing, the first thing I did was to go on a roadshow to several universities.

Zhou Yutang is like a god among college students.

Including several universities such as Huaqing University and Beijing Dance Academy, it is difficult to get a ticket if you want to enter the venue.

Liu Yifei went to Chagan Lake to shoot a commercial these days and posted a set of selfies on Weibo.

Standing in the icy lake, wrapped in a white down jacket, her skin is whiter than snow, she looks like an immortal, and she still has her signature scissor hands.

"Nini, how are your plans lately?"

"I have also sent invitations to several interview variety shows and the Feitian Awards ceremony. In addition, there is a symposium the day after tomorrow."

"I turned down the Feitian Award."

Zhou Yutang rubbed his temples.

He didn't have any works and was too lazy to walk the red carpet, but he couldn't refuse the symposium.

Because, as a youth representative of the Chinese entertainment circle, he will meet with the Russian boss Mr. Mei at the Chinese Embassy.

It's almost Hollywood's awards season, and this year's Golden Globe nominations have been announced.

The lesbian romance film "Carol", starring Queen Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara, leads the nominations.

Leonardo DiCaprio was nominated for Best Actor again for his role in "The Revenant". His opponents were Fassbender, Eddie Redmayne, and latecomer Cranston and Will Smith, which was a very strong field.

"The Conjuring 2" continues the good reputation of the Conjuring universe.

According to the news brought back by Zou Zhongyan, the data department predicts that the box office in North America will be around 1.2 million.

As stable as ever.

The global box office is also growing steadily. Hollywood media have recently been reporting on the crazy money-making of the Conjuring series, and naturally mentioned Zhou Yutang, the driving force behind the scenes.

"A walking money printing machine, a humanoid ATM?"

After coming out of Beijing Dance Academy, Zhou Yutang burst out laughing when he received the message forwarded by Nazha.

When the news spread back to China, the film and television companies in the industry were shocked, and were also envious to the point of numbness.

With a production cost of only 4000 million US dollars, it is expected to achieve a global box office record of million. In the past few years, only Zhou Yutang has been able to achieve this.

To win big with a small effort, this is using a Xiali to win a Maserati.

And, not just once.

The Conjuring series is a money-making beast, and the Purge series also makes a lot of money.

Due to the limitations of the times, domestic thinking had not yet changed, and the film and television industry had an almost pilgrimage mentality towards Hollywood.

At that time, the idea of ​​"borrowing a boat to go to sea" was very popular, and several leading entertainment companies also made ambitious attempts.

The results were, without exception, all unsuccessful.

Ten years.

Only Zhou Yutang can gain a foothold in Hollywood.

He alone carried the reputation of Jiangdong.

Today's Jiangdong Entertainment.

Even in Hollywood, it is still well-known.

ps: I haven’t been in good health recently, so I can’t write too much. Please forgive me and take care of yourself.
