China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 748: What a gentle killing knife, never walk alone

This thing is a bit loud.

The eyes of the people around turned to look over.

Zhou Yutang touched his chin with his left thumb, bent his index finger, and gently touched the bridge of his nose, lowering his voice:
"Keep a low profile, rat."

"You want to be low-key, but your strength doesn't allow it."

Huang Bo on the other side poked his head out and grinned, revealing his big white teeth.

Today, the Grand Commander was rarely without beauties by his side, and he was surrounded by the two brothers who sang the same tune.

As a follow-up effect of that Weibo post, the screening schedule of "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" has almost miraculously begun to rise against the trend.

Domestic theater chains have given the Grand Commander enough face.

Tonight's award ceremony was quite lively. Zhou Yutang went to receive the Best Screenplay Award for "Detective Chinatown 3".

After coming back, he was talking to Ning Hao and Huang Bo in the audience while awards were being presented one after another on the stage.

Bai Baihe won the Best Actress Award for "Go Away Tumor King", and Zhang Songwen won the Best Actor Award for his acclaimed performance in "The Accidental Detective".

Director Chen Jianbin's film "A Spoon" won the Grand Jury Prize, and Guan Miao's "Old Cannon" won the Grand Organizing Committee Prize.

"Master", a legendary story of martial arts in the Republic of China directed by Xu Haofeng, won the Best Picture Award.

The Best Director Award went to Director Jia for directing "Mountains May Depart".

Zhou Yutang was only present at the event and did not come for the award, but the Jiangdong Group also reaped great rewards.

After the award ceremony, Section Chief Jia cordially invited Zhou Yutang and Ning Hao to his group's dinner party.

Since last year's "Mountains May Depart", Chief Jia, who has not been seen for almost half a year, has done a lot of big things.

Zhou Yutang is not the only one who is promoting and supporting new directors. As early as 2010, Section Chief Jia launched the "Tianyi Plan" to also help the growth of potential new directors in the circle.

In addition, he has been working hard for the Tianchao New Film Festival. Seeing his rosy face, it seems that he is making some progress.

"Next year, at the latest, it will be in Pingyao Ancient City. You and Director Ning must come then!"

"When the time comes, I will definitely show my support."

Ning Hao was also surprised. Zhou Yutang quietly let go of Section Chief Jia's excitedly clenched hand.

During the dinner, it was mentioned that today, the Grand Commander-in-Chief had responded to a hundred calls, and nearly half of the entertainment industry had endorsed "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix".

Including Section Chief Jia, photographer Yu Li, producer Zhang Dong, and others who have worked together for many years, all felt their blood boiling and drank loudly.

Mainly because everyone is a practitioner, and has been deeply involved in the field of art films, they are familiar with the specific situation.

As far as the domestic market is concerned, there is basically no soil for literary and artistic genres to survive in theaters.

"Mr. Zhou, please feel free to do as you please. I must toast you today."

Chief Jia's partner Wang Hong drank a glass of white wine without hesitation.

As they toasted each other, the distance between them was invisibly shortened. After a few glasses of white wine, Chief Jia's eyes became blurry.
“I have been in this industry for almost 20 years, and working with my brothers to create Nuanliu Culture is also a transformation attempt after careful consideration.

Mr. Zhou, Director Ning, please give me more guidance in the field of commercial films in the future."

"Haha, you should look for Yu Tang. Who in the entertainment industry can do better than him?"

Considering that Zhou Yutang had just recovered from illness, Ning Hao directly took over his share of the wine.

The big gold chain fought against the crowd, threw another peanut into his mouth, and pressed it slightly.

"I don't dare to give instructions, let's communicate more."

"Mr. Zhou, you are too modest. Let me toast you again."

The CEO of Nuanliu Culture Company is Wang Hong, who is the one who appears to be extremely enthusiastic. He is responsible for the company's commercial capital operations.

Photographer Yu Liwei, producer Zhang Dong and others who have worked with Chief Jia for many years are also shareholders of Nuanliu, responsible for technology and production respectively.

Zhou Yutang could understand Chief Jia's thoughts.

Making art films depends on one's financial situation. In the past, if one could sell the copyrights overseas, the profits would be decent.

But now the version has changed.

The Chinese film market is booming, and everyone is making a ton of money. Who wouldn't be jealous?
The business can be expanded to commercial films, and artistic pursuits can give way to money. There is really no need to be so hard on money.

Even Lou Huohua, who had directed art films such as "Suzhou River", "Spring Breeze Intoxicated Night", and "Tuina", temporarily gave up his favorite art films and switched to a commercial film project.

The police and gangster film "Hell Lovers", which was officially announced to start filming a few days ago, also invited Shu Qi, Jing Boran, and Ma Sikuo. It can be said to have a luxurious lineup and has attracted much attention.

However, while talking with Section Chief Jia about the company's operations, Zhou Yutang suddenly heard a name that didn't fit in.
"Li Yuchun?"

"Chun Ge wants to be a director too?"

Ning Hao was also dumbfounded.

"The script is still being revised, it may take two years."

Chief Jia's speech is a bit lisp.

It is said that a good actor can become a director. Since Zhou Yutang took this path, many actors including Xu Guangtou and Deng Chao have tried it.

But unexpectedly, even Li Yuchun, the owner of the C position fruit, has joined Nuanliu Culture, ready to take up the director's baton and do a great job.

have to say.

Chun Ge’s ideas are indeed advanced enough, and his directorial debut is a domestic modern musical.

【Meet Haidilao's strong alliance, Governor Zhou and Fan Binbin join hands to support! 】

[The Grand Commander attended the Beijing University Student Film Festival and was very popular! 】

[The producer kneeled down on the live broadcast, the Grand Commander made a call, and the bigwigs showed their support! ]

[Director Wu Tianming's masterpiece "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" has a counterattack in the screening schedule! 】

In addition to the release of the charming and lovely Reuters stills of Da Mimi in "Eternal Love", which increased her presence.

The entertainment headlines of major portals, the hot posts on forums, and the hot searches on Weibo are all news related to Zhou Yutang.

After he posted a message in support of "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix", his influence continued to spread, and even La Peikang and Ren Zhonglun called him specifically.

The next day, the current film market's screening schedule was adjusted to a certain extent.

There is not much change in the screening schedule of "North West 2". The other film that was affected is "Captain America 3". The screening schedule of this Marvel blockbuster dropped by 10 points, and this part of the screening schedule was transferred to "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix".

The result was that "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" had a 12.2% screening schedule and its single-day box office soared sharply to 2880 million.

This box office data may not be a big deal today when the Chinese film market is taking off, but in the field of domestic art films, it is already an extremely astonishing number, and it has created another exaggerated record of a domestic film box office counterattack with an increase of more than 100 times.

There has never been such a precedent before.

Looking into the future, it is also a record that cannot be broken.

The director is undoubtedly at the top of the food chain in the entertainment industry.

Chun Ge wants to prove himself with a musical, but Li Cheng is more ambitious and starts directly with a 200 million yuan project.

Everyone wants to be a director, even Huang Bo is no exception.

In fact, he had the idea of ​​becoming a director a long time ago, and he shot a micro-film "The Non-Drunken Life of 12B Youth" in 2.

A 2B young man, after getting drunk in a KTV, forgot his private room number in the chaos, but accidentally broke into various circles.

From the perspective of a half-drunk and half-awake young man, the film shows the various lives in the small world of KTV.

It's shot in one shot, quite bold.

Ning Hao and Zhou Yutang had both seen it at the time and gave it good reviews, but Huang Bo himself was a person who preferred to proceed step by step.

He didn't have much confidence in directing a feature film. In addition, as a top-tier star, his schedule was tight, and the script had to be revised several times, and it has been delayed until now.

In recent days, Huang Bo has been particularly diligent in going to Jiangdong Building.

In addition to seeking Ning Hao's opinion, he also wanted to hear Zhou Yutang's opinion.

After all, the Grand Commander was famous for his unique vision and had helped to raise the three great generals of Jiangdong, and Bo Ge also wanted to make progress.

After reading the entire script, Huang Bo still couldn't find any clues from Zhou Yutang's calm expression. He gave up guessing and asked directly: "Yutang, what do you think?"

Zhou Yutang smoothed out the wrinkles on the script in front of him and smiled: "It feels quite interesting. I wish you a smooth filming."

An ordinary employee of a company participated in a company team-building activity with his colleagues, but was stranded on a desert island after encountering huge waves at sea.

Departing from the original social order and civilized constraints, in order to survive, all kinds of ugly and absurd events occurred.

In the end, the protagonist harvested love after hard work and returned to the city with everyone rescued.

The ending of a family-friendly film may not be very profound, but it is still worth watching.

Some of the settings are similar to the high-quality American TV series "Lost" that was popular abroad a few years ago, although the latter had a bad ending. Nowadays, variety shows with desert island survival themes are not uncommon. The "Wild Survival" and "Alone in the Wild" series, for which B station has bought out the copyright, have a large audience in China.

"Then I'll lend you some good advice."

When Huang Bo heard this, his eyes lit up like two flashlights and he grinned.

Even though he knew that Zhou Yutang might be saying something auspicious, it gave him a shot in the arm.

When I walked out of Jiangdong Building, my steps were a little unsteady, and my mind was full of the scene of my movie being a huge hit at the box office.

Huang Bo happened to meet Liu Shishi, who was walking with a breeze, and greeted her with a smile on his face: "Hey, Shishi, are you here to see Yu Tang?"

"Well, hello, Brother Bo."

Liu Shishi stopped and smiled gently.

We were all acquaintances, so we just chatted briefly when we met.

After going up to the ninth floor without any obstruction, Liu Shishi told Zhou Yutang about this and was a little surprised.

This time she came to report the two projects on hand to Zhou Yutang, but she was not in a hurry at all. When it was time for dinner, the first thing Liu Shishi thought of was to eat.

"I read an online report that Jiangdong Canteen's new sweet and sour pork with pineapple seems to be delicious. Let's have that for lunch."

Half an hour later, Liu Shishi rubbed her stomach and felt a little annoyed: "Oh, I shouldn't have eaten so much. The food in your company cafeteria is too delicious."

Girls always feel guilty after enjoying delicious food.

Especially in the entertainment industry, body management is a compulsory course for female stars.

"It's okay, just eat this one meal, it's not a big problem."

"Then have another ice cream cone." Liu Shishi suddenly became cheerful.

"..."

Zhou Yutang was speechless.

It seemed like the girl was born with two stomachs. She picked up an ice cream from the dessert area, her eyes sparkling.

He licked the cone lightly first, with an expression of great enjoyment on his face.

There was some ice cream on the lips, which made Zhou Yutang stare at him.

Perhaps it was because of his strange look, Liu Shishi's face turned red. She gave him a slap, but did not forget to share. She handed the ice cream to Zhou Yutang with her slender white hands.

Zhou Yutang was not polite either. He bit off a small half of it and was hit by Liu Shishi's little pink punch.

Xiao Chen, who was in the cafeteria with him, ate his fill of dog food, but Ni Ni ignored it as she had long been accustomed to this.

After cuddling for a while, Zhou Yutang leaned comfortably on Liu Shishi's thighs on the sofa bed in the office cubicle.

While enjoying her gentle massage, I listened to her chattering about the trivialities of her recent life and work.

Some time ago, Liu Shishi first participated in the Rio Olympic torch relay, and then in the fashion week, and had many overseas schedules.

After I came back, I started to work on the project preparations for "Bad Genius" and "Princess Agents", and I also had to worry about the promotion of Tangren's upcoming TV series "The Legend of Sword and Fairy: The Clouds of the World", so I was extremely busy.

"I heard the temperature difference there is quite big, don't forget to bring a coat."

“The ski resort is also good. You can go and try it after watching the competition.”

Liu Shishi counted her upcoming overseas trips with her fingers raised, feeling indescribably happy.

Next, she will go to Switzerland with Zhou Yutang to watch Liverpool's Europa League final.

As the owner of the club, just like the head coach of the three armies, Zhou Yutang has decided to be at the St. Jakob-Park Stadium in Basel, Switzerland on the day of the final to witness the final battle of his team.

The last time I took Liu Tianxian to watch a game at Anfield, there was a big commotion and when we came back Liu Shishi was in a very bad mood.

A bowl of water must be level.

This time, several teachers from Shanxia School gave Liu Tianxian a final intensive special training before she joined the group in the snow.

Zhou Yutang found an opportunity and took Liu Shishi to Europe to watch a game and take a vacation in Switzerland.

A few days in advance, he had already received a series of travel guides from Liu Shishi, such as "The 10 Most Worth Visiting Places in Switzerland, Are You Excited?" and "The Most Beautiful Towns in Switzerland That You Can't Miss."

Liu Shishi was still in high spirits at this time. Suddenly she thought of something and stopped massaging. She asked, "Do you think I am suitable to play Yang Yuhuan?"

"Should, maybe, possibly, it's OK..."

Zhou Yutang said insincerely.

“That’s too much of a stretch.”

Liu Shishi curled her lips, seemingly dissatisfied with the answer.

In the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, plumpness was considered beautiful.

If he had to say who meets Zhou Yutang's expectation of Yang Yuhuan among the four great beauties, he would vote for Teacher Fan and Liu Tianxian.

Liu Shishi's ranking is not high.

Zhou Yutang turned his head and let his fingers linger on Liu Shishi's slender, flexible A4 waist: "Yang Yuhuan is not suitable, we can try Xi Shi."

More than ten years of dance experience, such a gentle killing knife.

Although it is only big enough to be held in one hand, it is beautiful in shape and I don't have to worry about having children in the future.

"You just know how to make me happy."

With a proud tone, Liu Shishi took the initiative to kiss Zhou Yutang on the forehead.

"Poet Chen wants you to audition for the role of 'The Legend of the Demon Cat'?"

"how do you know?"

"Since you asked, it must be him."

Zhou Yutang smiled.

After winning the Golden Horse Award this year, Liu Shishi's status was high enough to sit at the table with the top female stars in the circle.

Top-level resources will definitely give priority to connecting with top-level celebrities.

It is no surprise that poet Chen approached her for an audition in his new play, The Legend of the Demon Cat.

"Producer Chen approached me."

Liu Shishi was quite calm, and continued to massage Zhou Yutang gently: "I also feel that I am not suitable."

"Pushed?"

"Yes, I've already told Chen Hong."

After following Zhou Yutang for so many years, Liu Shishi's vision and pattern have gradually expanded a lot.

As for "Legend of the Demon Cat", ever since the news came out, it has caused a bloody storm in the circle, and the female stars from various companies are fighting each other.

However, she didn't care about this kind of divine resource at all, and wouldn't feel sorry even if she gave it up.

After all, the god in her eyes was lying on her legs.

"A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" has been scheduled to be screened in theaters for several consecutive days and its box office has continued to rise against the trend. The cumulative total box office has already reached 1.02 million.

As the popularity subsided, the number of screenings gradually decreased.

Even if theaters give support, it is not unlimited support.

After all, everyone is here to make money, so giving them some scheduling support in the short term is a thoughtful gesture.

Due to the limitations of its literary and artistic subject matter, the upper limit of its box office potential is still somewhat low. Maoyan estimates it to be 1.21 million.

As for "When Beijing Meets Seattle: The Unbreakable Love Letter", the total box office struggled to reach 9.27 million, and the single-day box office has dropped to just over million, which is also unsustainable.

On the eve of going abroad, Zhou Yutang did not forget to make work arrangements: "The publicity plan for "The Blade of the Assassin 2" can be moved forward."

After the May Day holiday, it is the summer vacation season, which is only about a month away.

The Jiangdong private jet arrived in Basel, Switzerland.

The atmosphere of the Europa League final gradually made the city lively.

Fans can be seen everywhere around St. Jakob Park.

Red Army fans came from all directions, dyeing part of the stands of St. Jakob Park into a sea of ​​red.

When Liverpool's team song "You'll Never Walk Alone" resounded throughout the stadium.

Liu Shishi was holding hands with Zhou Yutang below.

She didn't understand football, but she understood the lyrics.

Looking at the cold and solemn expression of the man next to him, he couldn't help but feel a little excited and hummed along.
