China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 735: Chinese dramas go abroad, the original intention remains unchanged

Everyone laughed, but he cried alone.

Zhang Songwen's acting skills are very good.

The performance in this section gradually exploded, and the gentle background music amplified the emotional contrast, creating a stronger impact on the audience.

It instantly touches people's tears.

The next day, Lin Yuner, who had a schedule in the afternoon, got on the plane early. She took off her sunglasses and her eyes were slightly red and swollen, looking haggard. Her agent was shocked and asked with concern:
"Yoona, why are your eyes swollen? Did he bully you?"

"No."

Lin Yuna, who was indeed bullied, showed a pure and invincible smile: "Last night, I stayed up too late to watch dramas."

"Is it The Signal?"

"Hmm? Oppa is watching too?"

"I have already watched the latest episode, but it has not been translated into Korean subtitles yet."

The agent immediately opened up and talked about the plot with shining eyes, not caring about Yoona's red and swollen eyes.

After chatting for a while, the agent was also very tired and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Yuna opened her wallet.

There is a signed photo of her taken backstage with Zhou Yutang when she just debuted.

It's been so long.

His smile is still very bright.

"Mr. Zhou, Chen Daoming has agreed to take on this role."

A smile appeared on Zhou Yutang's face unconsciously after he heard the news from Lin Liang.

This was not an easy task, but Lin Liang managed to accomplish it.

As soon as he received the notice to launch the plan, he contacted Chen Daoming.

Chen Daoming was deeply moved, and then refused.

The reason is that he had just finished starring in the "Joy of Life" series, and he wanted to take a good rest and calm down for a while, and was not planning to take any more roles.

However, he was still caught by Lin Liang, who was experienced in the underworld.

——Chen Daoming has a beloved daughter, Chen Ge, who went abroad to study early on and performed Yue Opera in a Yue Opera Troupe after returning to China.

Compared to her father, Chen Ge is not very famous.

Seeing the rapid development of China's film and television market, she also opened a film and television company.

With Chen Daoming's connections paving the way for her, she certainly had enough food to eat, but she couldn't say she was doing very well.

Chen Daoming has his own artistic pursuits, but he cannot help but consider his daughter's future.

Lin Liang asked Zhou Yutang for permission to leave some share for Chen Ge's company in Jiangdong Entertainment's next A-level project.

The power of the little cotton jacket was so strong that Chen Daoming changed his mind overnight and signed his name on the contract.

As for Xiong Ba who had retired from society, he couldn't resist the idea of ​​adding more money.

Chiba Shinichi heard that Jiangdong offered a salary of 30 per episode.

Everyone was confused.

霓虹人气天王木村拓哉在朝日台、TBS、富士台的单集薪酬为250万日元（约为人民币14万），而在NHK只有80万日元（约为人民币4万7千）。

Masato Sakai, a talented Japanese actor who became famous with "Hagane Naoki", is at the top of the Japanese film and television industry. His pay for starring in "Hagane Naoki" is about 200 million yen (about 11 yuan) per episode.

Three hundred thousand for a single episode, is that a big hit in the Japanese film and television industry?

With both the substance and the appearance in place, Xiongba felt that he still had gas left in the tank, so he chose to return to the business world and give his career another try.

Wu Wenbin, who flew to Neon, did not expect things to go so smoothly.

In fact, the budget offered by the project department is 50 per episode, and the pay can still be negotiated.

In the past few years, 50 yuan per episode was considered the highest salary in the domestic entertainment industry. Capital has been pouring into the Chinese film and television industry like crazy, and the pay of first-line stars has gradually approached 208 yuan per day. This amount of pay is nothing.

Most of the important roles in the play have been confirmed, and Zhou Yutang is very satisfied with the work progress of Lin Liang, Jiang Xuehuan and others.

Zhou Yutang tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said calmly, "Let's officially announce Eternal Love first. Alibaba may not be able to wait any longer."

Just after the meeting ended, Zhou Yutang received a thank-you call from Director Su of Beijing Satellite TV.

"Signal" was exclusively broadcast on Beijing Satellite TV in late March, with an average viewership of 2.028% and an average audience share of 9.73%.

After the perfect conclusion of "Joy of Life 3", Jing Ye can be proud of himself this time and achieved a double kill on the ratings list of satellite TV stations.

As the ratings continue to rise, Beijing Satellite TV has deliberately slowed down its broadcast rhythm to maximize traffic.

Good news came frequently, Zhou Yutang was in a very good mood, and he read the online comments for a while.

News about the Academy Awards is still on the hot searches. The red carpet photos of Governor Zhou and the new Academy Award winner Liu Shishi are full of atmosphere, and the photo of them hugging each other when they won the award has become very popular.

But what he cares more about is the reputation of the drama "Signal".

Standing in Zhou Yutang's current position, it is difficult to hear objective evaluation of the project from people around him.

Even the words he said casually in his daily life would be pondered over and over again by everyone in the company, so even if there were any bad voices outside, they would never reach his ears.

Just like Lu Chuan, when his last project failed, he even felt aggrieved - because the report submitted to him by his team showed that most of the audience comments were positive rather than negative.

As a great director who graduated from a prestigious film academy, he was once a powerful figure and was hailed by the media as the future leader of the younger generation of directors.

Lu Chuan felt that he was not wrong.

That only shows that the aesthetic taste of this audience is not good.

The flattery and praise Zhou Yutang faced was completely on a different level from that of Lu Chuan.

He also gets cocky sometimes, but not as conceited as Lu Chuan.

Always stick to the original intention - film and television works are ultimately made for the audience.

So he often switches to a small account to secretly observe the comments of netizens.

“Highly recommended, novel subject matter and good setting.”

"The combination of a crime thriller and time travel makes it hard to stop following."

"Teacher Song Wen took the movie ticket that the person he loved bought before he died but didn't dare to give away, and went to the cinema alone to watch a comedy that was supposed to be watched by two people. Everyone was laughing, but he was the only one crying. I cried my heart out."

"The Grand Commander is awesome!"

"Have you noticed that there are some minor bugs in the time logic of this drama? The several timelines in the drama are divided into A, B, C, D, E, and F lines. In the parallel universe (10,000 words omitted)"

"Li Jian's acting skills are not as good as Zhang Songwen and Reyiza."

"."

The setting of interweaving time and space seems novel, but in fact this routine was used in Hollywood more than ten years ago.

It was Zhou Yutang's old friend Bob's New Line Company that made a movie called "Black Hole Frequency" in 2000, which was only slightly profitable at the time.

But the time-travel setting in the movie is eye-opening.

This directly affected the subsequent batch of film and television works.

One of the more famous ones is the "Butterfly Effect" series, the core of which is to change the timeline and then affect what happens later.

"Signal" uses a police walkie-talkie to achieve a smooth connection between the past and the present, traveling through time and space to jointly solve domestic unsolved cases.

Some unsolved cases are fictional plots that serve to connect the entire story.

There are also several cases that are adapted from real life, such as the Baiyin case and the Jinling University case.

The main theme is solving a case that interweaves time and space, and the emotional line can only be said to be just mentioned. However, Zhang Songwen moved countless audiences with his superb acting skills.

The industry media's comments on "Signal" were even more explosive.
"The suspense drama "Signal" written by Da Dudu, with Zhang Songwen in charge, and starring Reyiza and Li Jian, is the stunning work of this month!"

"Signal" topped the charts right after it premiered. There's no limit to the number of crime dramas!"

“Justice may be late, but it will never be absent! “Signal” saves the drama shortage!”

At the beginning, Jiangdong Entertainment set the pace by issuing a press release to build momentum before the show started, which is also a common publicity method in the industry.

Including the video up-loaders in the film and television section of Bilibili, they all received tasks from the organization.

However, after the TV series was aired and attracted enough viewers, most of them were tap water.

If you don’t handle this huge wave of traffic, what’s the point of being a marketing account or a self-media?

As for the new drama produced by Jiangdong Entertainment, a number of film critics in the industry have also been busy and have been analyzing this popular suspense drama from various angles.

While some people praised it highly, Zhou Yutang also saw many questioning voices, such as the lack of rigor in the handling of the logical details of time travel.

And the criticisms of Li Jian's acting skills.

Li Jian's acting skills are considered good among young actors of the same age.

But when he acted opposite Zhang Songwen and Reyiza in the drama, the gap became apparent.

However, the merits outweigh the flaws, and generally speaking, most of the reviews are positive.

At present, Douban has 16 people who have rated it, with a score of 9.3, which is enough to prove that this is a TV series of excellent quality. The Mist Theater has fired the first shot. In addition to the cumulative number of views on Bilibili alone exceeding 23 billion, the popularity on Bilibili's overseas video platform should not be underestimated.

After topping the South Korean film and television list for two consecutive weeks, a news report from South Korea’s TVN TV station that it had purchased the South Korean film and television adaptation rights of "Signal" from Gangdong Entertainment at a high price was transmitted back to the country across the ocean.

“Congratulations to Jiang Dong for his new drama “Signal” which is a big hit in South Korea! It will be adapted into a localized film and television series!”

The official media reported the incident in detail, and soon other media outlets rushed to report on it, and online marketing accounts made a collective effort.

In the past, so-called Chinese dramas exported abroad were all to Southeast Asia or some third world countries.

Moreover, in many cases, once a work is released, as long as it can be broadcast, it is considered external publicity and is basically given away for free.

Domestic TV stations also often spent large sums of money to import TV dramas from South Korea, creating the situation in which the Korean wave swept across China in the early years.

Since Zhou Yutang's debut, Jiangdong Entertainment has risen, and domestic dramas have begun to sound the clarion call for reverse exports to South Korea.

It is not even limited to South Korea, but has a profound influence throughout Asia.

To some extent, Zhou Yutang carried the banner of external propaganda on his shoulders.

The overseas version of Bilibili is a very important platform.

The Jiangdong-related film and television works led by Zhou Yutang are all on the B station overseas video platform and translated into multiple languages.

In recent years, it has carried out a series of resource exchanges with LeTV, Tencent, iQiyi and others.

The market share of the overseas version of Bilibili in Asia can be said to be far ahead.

The casting of "Snow Swordsman" is a big project, which requires coordinating the schedules of many parties.

However, Hu Ge agreed to guest-star as Chen Wang without any hesitation.

He has always unconditionally supported Zhou Yutang's plays, even if he didn't have many roles.

According to the "Snowy" script, he has nothing to do in the first season.

Speaking of which, Lao Hu was really unlucky. He was still on a business trip out of town when his father at home was sent to the hospital with a broken bone.

In order not to make him worry, the old man deliberately concealed it. In the end, it was Hu Ge's female assistant who was careful and discovered the clues.

Old Hu dropped his work and hurried back to Shanghai. Zhou Yutang used his connections to contact the hospital and asked them to take care of Hu's father.

Hu Ge was naturally extremely grateful, and even his father called him to express his gratitude sincerely.

"Signal" has already aired the second half and is still very popular. Some smart people on the Internet have begun to think about the details of the Baiyin case.

At the same time, there are also many press releases for another super IP, "Eternal Love".

Alibaba had made proper preparations in advance and officially announced that the heroine was Yang Ying, and the hero was Yang Yang, the top general under Jia Shikai. Fans of both teams have already begun to cheer for the film.

No one expected that after breaking up with Feng Shaofeng, Tianbao would have another opportunity and reach the peak of his acting career.

Yang Yang has also made great strides forward, and the fact that he is qualified to star in a big project of this magnitude is a testament to his status.

The TV version of "Eternal Love" in Jiangdong is also attracting much attention.

After teasing fans around, a press conference was finally held to officially announce: "Eternal Love, directed by Lin Yufen and starring Yang Mi and Wang Kai, will start filming in Hengdian!"

The entire film and television industry was instantly in an uproar.

Such an S-level fantasy drama is destined to be the most watched project in the industry.

Da Mimi is very courageous. She would rather take a salary lower than the market price and bring artists from Mixing into the crew.

Including Chen Yao and Gao Weiguang, they both successfully got important roles in this drama.

clatter! clatter! clatter!
The bullets flew out of the chamber, making a rhythmic sound of breaking through the air, like the roar of a wild beast.

Looking at the human figure standing on the opposite side who fell down in response, the coach beside him had a flash of surprise in his eyes and gave Zhou Yutang a thumbs up:

"Boss Zhou, that's awesome."

"I haven't played for a long time, so I'm a little rusty."

Zhou Yutang took off his goggles and put down the M4A1 in his hand.

Boys generally find it difficult to resist the joy of shooting. When filming "The Man from Nowhere", Zhou Yutang studied military knowledge for a while.

Later, Li Dagou found some connections and also played live-fire shooting with them.

This is what a talented person is like. They can easily get started with anything.

But today it wasn't that Zhou Yutang was itching to shoot. During his trip to Hong Kong, Miss Liu somehow became fascinated with shooting.

Chatting idly with the shooting instructor, Zhou Yutang watched the coach teaching Liu Yifei how to adjust her shooting posture.

Miss Liu tilted her head and aimed with full concentration.

Her thick black hair was tied into a ponytail, hanging diagonally behind her head.

She wore a black tight sportswear on the upper body and hot pants on the lower body, which perfectly outlined her slender waist and hips, and her long legs were white and plump.

After shooting a round of shots, the results were not ideal. Miss Liu took off her glasses and smiled shyly, her delicate skin showing a healthy red after exercise.

I spent the whole afternoon at the shooting range and when I was about to leave, I happened to receive a call from Shu Chang, so we made an appointment to have dinner together.

Zhou Yutang also got used to the presence of Shu Chang as a light bulb. Sometimes it was more lively when there were more people.

I sent her the address, which was a newly opened high-end Japanese restaurant.

After eating too much hotpot after the Chinese New Year, Zhou Yutang was ready to change his taste.

Moreover, when practicing Taoism at night, the diet should be lighter.

About half an hour later, Shu Chang, wearing a white baseball cap, a black mask, a white cardigan and a blue skirt, finally arrived.

"Big star, we're just waiting for you to start eating."

Zhou Yutang raised his head and glanced, jokingly saying.

There are many dinner parties waiting for him, and this is the first one in the new year that has the Grand Commander waiting for him.

"Xixi, Boss Zhou, I'm so sorry, there's a traffic jam on the road."

Shu Chang clasped his hands together and apologized repeatedly, but Liu Yifei didn't care about it. She waved and pulled her best friend to sit down.

Zhou Yutang was in a good mood in the afternoon and took a few photos of herself shooting. Miss Liu was very satisfied and asked Shu Chang to help her choose the best ones to post on Weibo.

"Wow, Sissi, you have a great figure."

"It's just so-so. Xiao Zhou took a good picture."

"This waist, this hip, these legs, your little Zhou is blessed."

The two girls gathered together, and Shu Chang suddenly whispered.

When women drive, they are often more unrestrained than one might imagine. Zhou Yutang was drinking water and almost choked.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are going to die."

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Shu Chang, slapped her on the thigh, and pulled her to mutter,
"How about this one?"

"This one is also good, just send it all out."

When Miss Liu takes selfies, she usually only has a few poses.

After posting on Weibo, she threw her phone aside. The two best friends hadn’t seen each other for a while and it seemed like they had endless things to talk about.

Zhou Yutang was also busy replying to messages from Milk Tea Zhou.

After Jay Chou established his own e-sports team, he has been addicted to games recently and has made plans to play games together in the evening.

"Jay Chou still plays games?"

Shu Chang heard the voice message and was surprised.

Zhou Yutang said calmly: "Not only does he play games, but he often goes to breastfeed while playing."

"what?"

Shu Chang was slightly stunned for a moment, then he thought of the fact that Jay Chou was already a dad, and laughed out loud with Liu Yifei: "Go, go, go, Boss Zhou, don't tease me."

“Doesn’t Kunling take care of the children?”

"Kunling has a lot of announcements right now."

Jay Chou often plays games all night long recently so that he can feed his daughter Xiao Zhou Zhou in the middle of the night.

As for Kunling, she was just an unknown figure in the Black Girls Club at that time.

Since becoming the wife of a superstar, her net worth has skyrocketed. After returning to work after giving birth, she has received many endorsement offers.

Sometimes, a woman’s choice is more important than hard work.

After the dinner, Zhou Yutang took the two girls to watch "Hot Pot Heroes".

Among the movies released during the Qingming Festival, the movie directed by Yang Qing should have the best reputation. However, after only seven days of release, the box office only exceeded 200 million.

This was not the first time Shu Chang came to the Starry Sky Cinema. He was shocked every time he came. He said with some regret: "Boss Zhou, I think this movie is pretty good. Why is the box office not high?"

"The movie's title isn't very impressive, and its promotional positioning is problematic."

When Zhou Yutang saw the name, the first thing he thought of was a food-themed movie.

Although the film was very hard-working and even fainted in the bathroom, with a bump on her head, the box office still didn't pick up.
