China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 734 Whose Rules? "Signal" aired

Skinny horses in Yangzhou have existed since ancient times.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Yangzhou was the gathering place for the Lianghuai salt transportation.

Business is booming, there are many wealthy people, and there are also many powerful people.

If you have power and money, you will naturally pursue a better quality of life.

Talk and laugh with ru, no contacts STOMATOLOGY.

The demand for high-quality companions led to the emergence of the deformed industry of raising skinny horses.

However, the "skinny horses" at that time were all trained from a young age. Not only did they have to have outstanding looks, but they also had to be proficient in various skills such as playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as social etiquette, so that they could look respectable when taken out.

In line with the development of the times, the requirements for socialites in socialite training classes are no longer limited to music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but focus on emotional value.

In the eyes of ordinary people, those wealthy people must be very powerful to be able to make so much money.

Maybe some people are indeed outstanding in certain areas, but some people may not be proficient in matters between men and women.

Others may find it difficult to understand why a woman can't control herself when she is seduced by a socialite who is proficient in all kinds of secret techniques to seduce men.

Why would he choose such a low-class green tea? However, in the eyes of the sponsor, she might just be a considerate and good sister.

Those who admire happiness should be able to understand the happiness, including the current King Guo, who seems to enjoy Fang Yuan's gentleness and kindness.

【.】

After one night, news reports about last night's Hong Kong Film Awards have quickly dominated the pages of major media.

The Hong Kong Film Awards, along with the Golden Rooster Awards and the Golden Horse Awards, are known as the three major Chinese-language film awards. They have always been important awards in the Chinese-language film industry, but they have a regional protection nature.

However, the appearance of Zhou Yutang undoubtedly broke this limitation.

News about Zhou Yutang was naturally all the rage, and reports about Liu Shishi becoming the queen also dominated the hot searches.

She is the first 1985-born actress to win the Hong Kong Film Award. The film "The Piano Tuner" that won her the award was impeccable in both quality and box office performance.

As the most popular post-85s flower in the circle, Liu Shishi also has a good network of contacts.

The awards were announced last night, and friends who had been following the live broadcast, including Hu Ge, Zhao Liying, Jin Daxi, Wu Qian, Song Tie, Yuan Hong and others, quickly sent their blessings on Weibo.

Later, the Fairy Sword sisters showed great affection for each other. Among them, Yang Mi and Tang Yan couldn't sleep most of the night and sent WeChat messages for half the night.

"Congratulations to Liu Shishi, you have worked hard and persisted in your efforts, and you will definitely be rewarded!"

"Sister Shi Shi deserves to be crowned the best actress at the 85th Academy Awards!"

"To be honest, anyone with a discerning eye can see that ZYT has paved the way for her."

"Haha, it was revealed a few days ago that the heroine of Jiang Dong and Ying Huang's new movie "Bad Genius" is Liu Shishi again."

Netizens were discussing the matter heatedly, with most people happy for Liu Shishi, and many other female celebrities in the circle expressing envy and jealousy.

Various kinds of pulling down and cross-dressing are common.

Compared to the Governor of Jiangdong who went into sleep mode as soon as he got on the plane.

As a secretary and personal assistant, Ni Ni has a lot to worry about.

Including contacting the PR team to control comments, feedback on the promotion of Douyin short videos abroad, and sorting out the box office data of "Tomb Raider" in South Korea, the stage report of Xingchen Games, and the itinerary arrangement of my boss returning to Beijing.
Xiao Chen asked the stewardess for a blanket and gently covered her boss with it. Ni Ni secretly complained in her heart:
How crazy did I have to be last night to be so sleepy today?
She has also been in the entertainment industry, so she can understand Liu Shishi's feelings - for a female star, standing on the podium and receiving countless honors and applause is also the pinnacle of her acting career.

Yijie has a business trip in Hong Kong today, and Zhou Yutang has to rush back to Beijing to attend the celebration banquet for "The Mermaid", so the award ceremony honeymoon in Hong Kong has come to an end.

"Boss, can you take a break?"

Ni Ni was staring at the clear and stern profile in a daze. Zhou Yutang, who was in his sleep, seemed to sense something and slowly opened his eyes. He checked the time on his watch and his eyes quickly regained clarity.
"No, go help me connect to Lin Liang's video conference."

"Boss, take care of yourself, don't be too busy, take your medicine first."

After Ni Ni explained the situation, she waved her slender hand and the stewardess next to her handed her a black bag of Chinese medicine.

Looking at the movement of her eyes, there seems to be some meaning of Jinlian.
Zhou Yutang didn't doubt it either, he took it and started drinking.

"Mr. Zhou."

"Well, for the casting of "In the Snow", Ren Dahua and Lin Yu are both OK. Cao Changqing will start the contingency plan."

Zhou Yutang rubbed his temples, cast his deep eyes out of the plane window, and said in a low voice: "Spread the word to me, don't use people with the surname Liang for Jiangdong's projects in the future."

"Okay, Mr. Zhou."

Lin Liang's expression froze slightly, and he asked, "That's Chen Daoming?"

"Just use Chen Daoming."

During this period, we have been pushing forward the casting of "Snow". The casting team has made several plans for the role of Cao Changqing.

Originally Liang Chaowei was ranked very high, but something went wrong during the communication, which made Governor Zhou very unhappy.

There is no doubt about Chen Daoming's acting skills. He has previously played Gu Weijun in "My 1919" and he also has the qualities of a patriot.

Listening to Zhou Yutang explaining things to Lin Liang, Ni Ni, who was taking notes nearby, also knew what was going on.

So what if he’s the king of Hong Kong entertainment?
In front of the people who truly control and set the rules of the game, you don’t even have the right to sit at the table for a meal.

"Mr. Zhou, last night several Hong Kong industry insiders jointly issued a statement calling on the Hong Kong Film Awards Organizing Committee to strengthen regional protection, and bluntly stated that it was against the rules for several Jiangdong-based films to win awards. What do you think of this?"

"Rules? He made the rules? What a clown, what nonsense."

"Mr. Zhou, I heard that Tencent is planning to acquire a stake in Star Games. Is this true?"

"You should ask Chen Min about this. I'm not sure."

Coming out of the airport passage, Zhou Yutang was in a good mood and briefly accepted interviews from a few female reporters he liked.

It’s not just because of the beautiful photo of Teacher Fan’s movie poster of “The Unbreakable Love Letter” that I just saw in the terminal.

More importantly, the sales, online user numbers and other data of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" have been steadily rising.

As far as China is concerned, there has been a craze for playing PUBG, and this game has become a hot topic of discussion among young people's social circles.

If you open Bilibili now, you will see the game PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) besides League of Legends, which shows how popular it is.

With this, Xingchen Games has made great progress and completely established its brand. It will not be easy for Xiao Ma Ge to acquire shares in it again.

After getting on the Maybach S600 armored car, Zhou Yutang replied to the messages and took the opportunity to check out some film and television information.

In the Hong Kong circle, some industry insiders were wailing - the important award of the Hong Kong Film Awards was completely lost, and it has become the shape of the Jiangdong Grand Commander.

The most surprising thing about the Chinese film market in March was not that the Disney animated film "Zootopia" had a total box office of over 14 billion yuan, breaking the record of Disney animated films in the mainland market and making a fortune in China.

It's not that Leo's Oscar-winning movie "The Revenant" has a box office of over 3 million.

But the world-renowned superhero blockbuster "Batman v Superman" had a terrible reputation.

Compared to the expectations raised by the pre-marketing, the performance of this DC movie, which took years to prepare, was obviously disappointing after its release.

On the second weekend after the release of "Batman v Superman", which was also the Qingming Festival holiday in China, the box office grossed 1.8 million yuan, and the total box office barely reached 6.18 million yuan.

The reason why it failed to make a comeback during the Qingming Festival was not only because of its plummeting reputation, but mainly because of the joint attack of four Chinese films.

"My Spy Grandpa" starring Fatty Hong and King Liu grossed 1.67 million yuan in its first weekend, which was very eye-catching.

"Hot Pot Heroes", the second work of "Nightclub" director Yang Qing, starred by Xichang Flower, Bai Baihe and Qin Hao, and together they earned 1.4 million yuan.

"My Upper Bunk" starring Jiangdong actor Chen Xiao and Qin Lan grossed 7000 million.

Only the superstar Li Riyue's "The Uninvited Guest" became a stepping stone, grossing only 380 million and was buried in the ground after its release, with no chance of recovery.

There was a refreshing breeze beside me, and Ni Ni came over and read out the following news:

"The Mermaid set off a wave of group viewing, and the box office boomed during the Qingming Festival, with the total box office closing at 33.03 billion. The miracle is still going on. Can it come back?"

"Boss La is quite ambitious and wants the numbers to look good."

Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

The celebration party for "The Mermaid" was held at the Imperial Hotel in Beijing.

As the director, Stephen Chow is undoubtedly the absolute protagonist of tonight.

Apart from Zhou Yutang who broke the record, he is the only director in the domestic 3 billion box office club.

But with the arrival of the Grand Commander, everyone at the scene turned their attention to him.

"Congratulations to Mr. Zhou for sweeping the Academy Awards."

"It's just a few awards, not worth mentioning."

"Mr. Zhou, we will cooperate on projects in the future."

"Mr. Zhou, I'll toast you a glass."

"."

Lin Yuner looked at the respectful attitude of the crowd towards Zhou Yutang, her beautiful eyes sparkling with light, and she took the initiative to come over with a glass of wine,
"Oppa, congratulations on winning the award. You look so handsome in the red carpet photos."

"You've worked hard, too, running so many roadshows."

"It's not hard, but it's a pity that I don't have many opportunities to meet Oppa. I won't be back to Seoul until tomorrow afternoon. Can Oppa take me to see the night view of the capital in the evening?"

"." Stephen Chow didn't pay Lin Yoona much for the film, and he also took her to several rounds of roadshows, and Yoona was very cooperative.

The considerate Governor Zhou accurately got some of the information released by Lin Xiaolu.

There is probably no one in the world who can resist the coquettish offensive of the innocent little deer.

Governor Zhou was no exception.

The two were chatting, and when it came to the speaking session, Zhou Yutang did not go on stage, giving the chance to be in the spotlight to Zhou Xingxing and La Peikang.

Watching the two men join forces to smash the ice sculpture that symbolized the brilliant box office numbers, the media opened fire and the applause at the scene was thunderous.

Zhou Yutang's gaze moved around and paused at Mr. Wang from Huayi.

He brought the new generation's top star Wu Yifan, and took the initiative to approach Zhou Xingxing to toast, and they seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation.

After a moment of hesitation, Zhou Yutang was relieved.

In this world of fame and fortune, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

Huayi had set up a trap for Stephen Chow in the "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" project, and the two parties even went to court, but as long as there are enough interests, they can sit at the same table again.

La Peikang took the initiative to come over and exchange a few words with Zhou Yutang: "Yutang, the sequel to "The Mermaid" has been decided."

"So fast?"

"Haha, I'll start preparing for Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back after it's finished. Are you interested in continuing the cooperation?"

"Boss La, forget it. I have a lot of projects on hand, and I have to go abroad in a few days."

"I have to go and take a look. You are the executive producer of The Meg."

"."

Zhou Yutang's polite refusal made Zhou Xingxing feel relieved.

The box office of the first film was so explosive, the sequel is bound to do well at the box office. If the Chinese film market develops more maturely and the box office depth is improved, it may have a chance to hit 50 billion.

Thinking of that number, Zhou Xingxing's heart was boiling with heat. He said it was a pity, but his smile was harder to suppress than AK's.

Mr. Wang from Huayi was also ecstatic.

Have you lost your mind from playing with women?

You don’t even want to eat this piece of fat meat that’s right in front of you?
With such a big cake, if one less person enters, wouldn’t the other producers be able to have a bite of it?

Mr. Wang smiled with a fake smile and said, "Mr. Zhou has a lot of projects on his hands. The number of viewers of the movie "Tomb Raider" in South Korea has exceeded 1400 million. It's amazing, really amazing."

"Mr. Wang, do you still care about this? It's just a small matter."

Zhou Yutang looked calm and said hello to La Peikang: "Boss La, I have something else to do tonight, so I'll leave first."

After showing his face, he left early.

When they came out, even Ni Ni couldn't help but ask, "Boss, why don't you participate?"

"The Mermaid" made over 3.3 billion yuan in its final glory. After deducting the production costs and publicity, as well as the theater's share of the profits, special funds for the film and other expenses, it was able to achieve a net profit of almost 900 million yuan.

Zhou Yutang's 30% share will entitle him to at least over 300 million in box office revenue.

"There's not even a script yet, but they're already thinking about going on stage to make money. Is it necessary to invest in such a project?"

Zhou Yutang lowered his head and sent a message to Yoona, not taking it seriously at all.

Sometimes, the role of marketing in a movie's box office is beyond imagination.

The quality of the movie "The Mermaid" itself is not enough to support such a high box office, and it is largely due to the emotional marketing of Stephen Chow.

The hot topics on social media before and after the Spring Festival were all about owing Stephen Chow a movie ticket - as if anyone who didn't go to the cinema to show his support would seem a little out of place.

However, this marketing method can backfire if it is not supported by sufficient film quality.

After watching the movie, the audience realized that there seemed to be some differences compared to Stephen Chow's previous movies.

Now everyone has even paid back the movie tickets they owed to Stephen Chow, so they won’t owe him anything in the future.
On the other side, there was singing and dancing.

Huayi Xiaowang, who was drunk, put his arm around Wu Yifan's shoulders, his excitement evident in his words.

Now that Huayi has obtained the admission ticket to "The Monkey King 2", all the past grudges should be erased like chalk writing and naturally should not be mentioned again.

In the future, the sequel of "The Mermaid" may have a chance to get a piece of the pie.

Then why hasn’t the company’s stock price taken off?

With toasts and cheers flowing, the celebration banquet was unprecedentedly lively.

Shortly after Zhou Yutang left, Lin Yoona also left.

La Peikang, who stole the show that evening, drank a few more glasses of wine and sat in the back seat of the car after leaving.

La Peikang took the warm, wet towel that the secretary had thoughtfully prepared and wiped his face.

Then he put on the pair of gold-rimmed glasses again.

Looking at the prosperous night scene of Beijing outside the window receding like a fleeting shadow, La Peikang's originally expressionless face instantly revealed a smile.

He was very satisfied with the situation.

First of all, the preparation of "The Founding of an Army" went very smoothly. Except for Zhou Yutang, it basically had an all-star lineup.

Secondly, the box office of "The Mermaid" also exceeded expectations.

La Peikang doesn’t think Zhou Yutang’s withdrawal from the sequel project will have much of an impact.

Zhou Xingxing's influence is there, and is no weaker than Zhou Yutang, who has a strong Han Sanping label.

There were rumors in the circle earlier that this was Zuoshandiao’s godson.

While La Peikang admired Zhou Yutang's abilities, he also had his own ideas.

In his opinion, a company as big as China Film Group is extremely dependent on one person, not to mention the resources left by the "predecessor", which is absolutely unacceptable.

The cooperation with Zhou Yutang can continue, but we cannot put all our eggs in one basket.

Although the Grand Commander of Jiangdong is very famous, there are many great directors in the film and television industry who are not inferior to him.

Wu Baige is a spare piece. It would be best if the Sino-Japanese co-produced crime drama can succeed, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't.

At least with Stephen Chow as a guarantee, "The Mermaid" topped the Chinese movie box office chart, followed by "The Monkey King 2" from the Journey to the West series.

Another example is Oscar-winning director Li An. This year, his film "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk", which is basically a clear sign of his preparation for another Oscar impact, is also worth looking forward to.

Brother Chen Kai, who ascended to the altar in Cannes earlier than Zhou Yutang, is basically destined to be the blockbuster of the year with his movie "The Great Wall".

There is also "The Legend of the Demon Cat" which is currently being prepared, which fully depicts the atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

The above is La Peikang’s layout.

At night, Yoona suddenly evolved from a pure little deer to a wild little deer.

The girl's generation's face, who has more than ten years of dance experience, is extremely flexible and can achieve postures that are normally difficult to imagine.

When it was time to be gentle afterwards, the wild little deer didn't even want to move, and curled up lazily in Zhou Yutang's arms, watching the popular "Signal" on station B without even moving his eyes.
"How could this murderer be so abominable?"

Seeing the murderer committing crimes, Lin Yoona was so angry that her teeth were itching, and she bit Zhou Yutang on the shoulder very rudely.

"Damn you murderer, why did you bite me?"

Zhou Yutang took a breath of cold air.

He had reason to suspect that Yoona might have noticed what was going on between him and IU.

After all, in that episode of Knowing Brothers, IU's eyes were so sweet that they looked like they were drawing silk, and it's hard to say whether Kim Heechul said anything in private.

"Isn't it Oppa who wrote the script?" Lin Yoona snorted proudly.

"I just wrote an outline. The specific plot was done by the screenwriter team of Jiangdong Creative Center."

Zhou Yutang patted Xiaolu's butt and hugged her to watch the show together.

In the 2015 timeline, the young criminal policeman Li Jianyu had an old-fashioned police walkie-talkie without batteries in his hand, and suddenly he heard the voice of the old criminal policeman Zhang Qiang.

The story begins from here.

It is precisely because of the intermittent signals that the two detectives in different time and space are connected, realizing communication across time and space, and working together to solve the unsolved cases of the past.

The audience is looking forward to it.

After all, due to the limitations of the case handling conditions at the time, we often had to watch those vicious criminals go unpunished.

It was also very satisfying to watch those guys being executed by watching TV.

But as the plot develops, when the past changes, the future will also change accordingly. The dead have a chance to be saved, but the living may also die innocently.

After watching for a while, Yoona burst into tears - she had just seen Police Officer Zhang Qiang, played by Zhang Songwen, who was involved in a serial murder case and involved his first love.

He and his beloved girl had originally planned to go to the movies together, but the girl was killed by a serial killer the day before the date.

Later, Zhang Qiang walked into the cinema alone with two movie tickets.

They were going to watch a comedy movie.

Everyone around was laughing.

But only Zhang Qiang was holding the movie ticket in his hand, crying inconsolably.

ps: This drama is pretty good, and the song "Road" is also pretty nice
