China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 99 The final box office that exploded, those who know the current affairs

3 month 1 number.

Beijing Capital Gymnasium.

Liu Ruoying dressed in a minimalist style today. She only wore a white shirt and wide-leg pants, but she had the intelligence and gentleness of a mature woman.

Fans of milk tea are also very supportive.

Excited songs gathered into a sea of ​​cheers.

"Later, I finally learned how to love
It's a pity that you have long gone and disappeared into the sea of ​​people
Later, I finally understood through tears that once you miss some people, you will never see them again.”

Backstage at the concert.

Zhou Yutang hummed softly along with the time.

Opposite him was a short but honest-looking man who also sang loudly along with him.

to be frank.

Zhou Yutang never expected to meet this brother here before he came.

Wang Baojun, Xu Sanduo
A man who endorsed CCTV's military recruitment advertisements by relying on the image of film and television dramas.

Seeing such a hard-bodied tough guy singing "Learn how to love later" at the milk tea concert, Zhou Yutang always felt that something was wrong.

After milk tea finished singing, the audience below the stage cheered wildly.

"Oh! You sang so well!"

Wang Baojun in the background also applauded excitedly.

It can be seen that he is really trying to help.

Zhou Yutang laughed softly and said, "Brother Bao, you sang well."

"Haha, I just sang blindly, and I'm far worse than you."

Wang Baozhen had a characteristic smile, his eyes were narrowed into two slits, the corners of the eyes were creases, and his big white teeth were exposed.

You can feel the sincerity in his smile, and it is easy to feel close to him.

Zhou Yutang finished his movie promotion and rushed over to be Liu Ruoying's concert guest as soon as he got off the plane.

The guests are actually responsible for livening up the atmosphere and can only influence one song. Zhou Yutang spent most of the time chatting with Wang Baoyu backstage.

Both of them are insiders, so they still have a lot to talk about.

"At that time when we were filming "The Blind Shaft", Li Yixiang and I went down into the mine together. Before we had gone very far, we heard the sound of a big stone loosening and falling above our head. It was such a big stone, but it was not far away from me, and the surrounding environment was still dark. It was very dark and really scary, I almost lost my life.”

"We also encountered a landslide while filming. The actress on the set saw it was too dangerous and ran away."

Zhou Yutang was very interested in the movie "The Blind Shaft", and Bao Ruo also told the story of the past in an emotional voice, with a serious expression on his face.

"Yu Tang, you are here as a guest. How did you meet Sister Ruoying?"

"I am entrusted by someone."

"Aren't you still promoting the movie? I saw the news yesterday and you were still in Chongqing."

"The promotion is over. I just returned to the capital. I just came here to relax. I didn't expect to meet Brother Bao. We are quite destined."

"Don't call me brother, just call me Baoyu."

Zhou Yutang found Wang Baozhen very pleasing to the eye, and Baozhen was also very happy.

The two chatted very congenially, and Zhou Yutang learned the reason why Wang Baoyu appeared at the milk tea concert.

He and Liu Ruoying became friends during the filming of "A World Without Thieves". He had just debuted at that time, and he was not very popular. He was a bit out of place in such a crew full of celebrities. Milk Tea took good care of him at that time. After the filming was over, The relationship between the two has also been maintained, and it is a well-known relationship between sisters and brothers in the circle.

Well, unlike Zhou Yutang, this is a pure godbrother.
Wang Baozhen was also very interested in making movies. He asked a lot of Zhou Yutang about the situations he encountered when shooting movies, exclaimed again and again, and said directly: "Yu Tang, I really admire you. The first time you directed a movie, the box office is so high. , yesterday it was already 1.6 million, making it a dark horse for this year’s Lunar New Year holiday.”

"Now it's 1.61 million, how much money can I make?"

The agent who was waiting on the side interjected.

"It's just luck, it will be released soon."

Zhou Yutang said modestly, glancing out of the corner of his eye and seeing Wang Bao's manager with a flattering smile.

Weird feeling.

Some people's appearance makes it easy for people to feel close to and like them at a glance, such as Wang Baohao.

But some people don't.

Just like this Song Zhe, he obviously looks decent, but he is wearing a pair of black glasses, with dark circles under his eyes, and an exaggerated and flattering smile on his face, which makes Zhou Yutang feel disgusted for no reason, and he doesn't pay much attention at the moment. .

After chatting with Bao Yu backstage for a while, it was finally Zhou Yutang's turn to appear.

It was not the first time for him to be a guest. He walked onto the stage with steady steps and waved his hands casually towards the bottom.

Today's dress is still simple, white canvas shoes, black slacks, and an ordinary white shirt on the upper body, which are basically products from his own online store. Zhou Yutang wears it with a low-key but very fresh temperament .

"Hello to all the audience members."

"Wow! Zhou Yutang! Zhou Yutang! So handsome!!"

"Zhou Yutang looks so handsome holding the microphone!"

"Zhou Yutang! Those years! Zhou Yutang! Those years!"

"Yu Tang, your popularity is really high recently. There is a very popular movie. I have watched it twice. I don't know if any of you have gone to the cinema to watch it."

Liu Ruoying stood on the stage holding a microphone and pointed it at the audience. The fans also showed face and responded excitedly: "The girls we chased together in those years."

"not bad."

Liu Ruoying nodded, and made a mischievous joke: "Yu Tang, where is the Liu Jiayi you chased all those years?"

"Shi Shi is still promoting the movie in Rongcheng."

Zhou Yutang answered: "I heard that Sister Ruoying had a concert, and I took a taxi as soon as I got off the plane. I just heard Sister Ruoying singing "Later" in the background. I was really touched."

"Next, Sister Ruoying and I will sing "Those Years" together."

Saying that, Zhou Yutang loosened the two buttons on the collar of his shirt, and rolled up the cuffs of his shirt.

With simple movements, the atmosphere of the audience off the stage was lifted.

The stage lights went out, and the rhythm sound that everyone was very familiar with sounded.

""those years"!"

This song by Zhou Yutang has been on the major music charts for several months.

As the movie became popular, this song actually went against the trend and directly ranked in the top three of the music charts, making countless young men and women reminiscing about their youthful dreams obsessed with it.

Especially since it has been a long time since I heard Zhou Yutang singing on such an occasion, the response from the audience was particularly enthusiastic.

Liu Ruoying was a little surprised.

The enthusiastic response from the audience gave her the illusion that her concert had become Zhou Yutang's home stadium.

All the lights focused on the two people at the same time.

The two smiled at each other.

"Returning to the original starting point and remembering your green face
We have finally come to this day."

Liu Ruoying sang with great devotion, and Zhou Yutang was also full of emotion.

The two cooperated very well. Where the camera passed, the excited faces of the audience under the stage could be clearly seen. They also sang along, and the singing voices converged into a sea of ​​cheers, as if they were about to overturn the dome.

"What a great guy!"

Wang Baorong watched Zhou Yutang's free and easy stage performance in the background. The atmosphere at the scene seemed to be even more lively than before, and he said with sincere emotion.

"It's just that he looks better and has better luck."

Song Zhe curled his lips.

"Be careful what you say, he is my friend."

Wang Baozhen turned his head and gave Song Zhe a hard look.

Milk Tea’s "Sleepwalking" concert tour will hold 10 concerts in a row. The capital is only the first stop, followed by Shanghai, Nanjing and other stops. Finally, it will end at the Wanxing Arena. Zhou Yutang promised Chen Guofu to join him, but it is impossible Everywhere.

However, after the concert, Liu Ruoying expressed her gratitude at the celebration banquet.

This sister drank some wine in the evening, her face was a little red, although her appearance was not perfect, she had a fresh and refined calm temperament, like a gurgling stream, no wonder it could make the big guy fall in love.

"Yu Tang."

She took the initiative to come over and toast with a gentle tone: "Thank you very much. I'm so happy that you came to attend today's concert despite being so busy."

"Sister Ruoying, if you want to thank me, just thank Brother Chen."

Zhou Yutang smiled and raised his glasses and clinked them, with a meaningful smile on his face.

Brother Chen, you helped me get through the relationship with Wanxing, so I can only help you here.

..............................

Four weeks after the release of "Those Years", the box office trend finally gradually flattened out, and it was not until mid-March that the box office figures in the Mainland were fixed at 1.68 million, second only to "Assembly" with 2.6 million, and "The Certificate of Investment". "2.08 million, "Yangtze River No. 1.95" [-] million, ranking fourth in the Lunar New Year season.

The box office performance in other places brought great surprise to Zhou Yutang.

There are no screenings scheduled in South Korea, Neon and other regions, mainly due to the box office boom in Ben Province and Hong Kong.

弯省总票房2亿4千万台币（5581万人民币），香江累计票房高达5317万港元，（约4200万人民币）。

To know.

This is the case that Zhou Yutang won such a high box office by relying on word of mouth without participating in any promotions in Xiangjiang and Ben provinces.

When the news spread back to the mainland, the whole circle was shocked.

Countless film and television companies and people in the industry have set their sights on Jiangdong Film and Television Studio. No one could have imagined that such a youth film produced with a low-cost investment could become so popular.

Originally thought that "Those Years" was a dark horse that could make people's eyes shine, but I didn't expect that it was a leaping into the dragon's gate, reaching the sky in one step, which directly made people's eyes shattered.

"Those Years" can achieve such brilliant results, even the light of the top three in the Lunar New Year file has dimmed a lot.

Professionals in the industry have all focused on the movie "Those Years". Various film critics and major companies immediately conducted professional analyzes and summarized several reasons why "Those Years" will become a hit. reason:

First, the gap in the domestic youth film market, coupled with the release of "Slam Dunk" at the same time, created Zhou Yutang's success.

Second, Enlight Media's crazy publicity, combined with the power of the local promotion model, is so obvious.

Thirdly, the quality of "Those Years" is indeed excellent, and Zhou Yutang is indeed very talented. He has captured the almost palpable youthful years that have long passed away in many people's hearts.

There is a lot of potential for youth-themed movies.

As soon as the news of Zhou Yutang's return to the capital spread, a group of reporters immediately surrounded him.

I don’t know where these guys got the specific address of the studio, so they blocked the door directly.

But none of them squatted down to Zhou Yutang.

Except for being a guest at the Milk Tea concert at the beginning of the month, Zhou Yutang has lived in seclusion and has not given interviews to the media.

Where did Zhou Yutang go?

This is the doubt in the minds of many media reporters.

The answer is to go back to film school.

Going back to school is really not about showing off, it’s about discussing projects with the teachers at the film school.

The script "Insidious" took several months to write and was finally completed. A teacher from the film school was very interested in it.

On the way to the classroom office, I ran into a girl from Jing Tian's dormitory.

"Brother Yu Tang."

Jingtian Kazilan's big eyes lit up and she stepped forward with cheerful little steps.

Zheng Shuang, Kan Qingzi and Tan Songyun also followed.

The girls looked at Zhou Yutang with eyes full of admiration.

"Tian Tian, ​​are you going to class?"

Zhou Yutang paused slightly, and said hello.

In fact, the film school is not big, so it is easy to meet.

"Yeah, Teacher Huang Lei's class."

"Then be careful, Mr. Huang is very strict."

Zhou Yutang made a joke. Huang Lei was also a star teacher at the Film Academy. When he was young, he was popular with thousands of girls, and he had an affair with milk tea.
"Brother Yu Tang, we watched "Those Years" twice in our dormitory. It's really good!"

Miss Jing Tian smiled sweetly and was sincerely happy for Zhou Yutang: "I heard that the box office is very good. Brother Yutang, you are really awesome."

"Thank you for your support."

Facing the adoring eyes of the girls, Zhou Yutang responded calmly.

The main reason is that there are too many people praising it during this period.

Not only did Dean Wang of the Film School personally send a congratulatory message, but several teachers who were close to him also praised him highly.

There is also Li Xiaoping, the vice president of Enlight Media, and Zhou Yutang has received at least three calls from Miss Xiaoping every day recently.

Either to ask about his well-being or to ask him about his sleep status, asking him to pay attention to his health and don't forget to attend the celebration banquet when the time comes.

As if overnight.

Surround yourself with good people.

So, the rainbow farts of these little girls are nothing at all.

Stars surrounded Zhou Yutang like a moon, chattering and asking about the filming of the movie. They talked endlessly, completely forgetting that they had to go to class next.

"Aren't you going to class?"

Zhou Yutang glanced at the time and said with a half-smile.

The pointer on the watch turned to the hour, and then the bell rang. Girls Jing Tian and Kan Qingzi were slightly stunned. Tan Songyun, who looked dumb, was the first to react and exclaimed:
"Ah, oops, the class bell is ringing!"

"Brother Yu Tang, I'll treat you to dinner in a few days. We'll leave first."

Miss Jing Tian didn't even have time to say goodbye, so she trotted towards the teaching building with Kan Qingzi and Zheng Shuang.

"It's nice to be young."

Zhou Yutang looked at the youthful backs of these girls, and sighed softly, and Teacher Tian's voice came from beside him: "You are only a sophomore, and you still say that the little girl is young?"

"Teacher Tian."

Turning his head and showing a bright smile, Zhou Yutang asked, "Is Teacher Jiang Wei here?"

"I've been here for a long time. I'm waiting for you."

Tian Zhuangzhuang patted Zhou Yutang's shoulder, his eyes filled with relief.

At his age, he has seen everything in the world, and his wealth and wealth are like floating clouds, and he has a good reputation.

Just like the student Zhou Yutang, a movie, Fish Leaping over the Dragon's Gate, has been repeatedly mentioned in recent gatherings with old friends in the circle, which really made him look good.

Approaching the door, Teacher Tian held Zhou Yutang by his side, and whispered something in his ear: "Your teacher Jiang is a nice person, but you are a bit straightforward, so be more polite later."

"clear."

Zhou Yutang nodded slightly.

As for Teacher Jiang Wei, he is also a big cow.

"Alishan's Daughter" directed in the 90s won the Feitian Short Drama Award. At that time, I worked as a screenwriter on "Don't Talk to Strangers" with teacher Xue Xiaolu. I don't know how many people have become a psychological shadow. I also filmed it a few years ago. The TV series "Silent Witness" with a criminal investigation suspense theme received an enthusiastic response and won the New Director Award.

He is currently a professor in the Directing Department of the Beijing Film Academy, a master tutor, and has solid theoretical and practical skills.

This time it was Zhou Yutang who sent the script of "Latent" to Mr. Tian and Mr. Yao for review.

Several teachers from the film school discussed it for a while and unanimously gave high praise. They heard that Zhou Yutang's studio was about to start this project. Finally, teacher Jiang Wei took the initiative to find Tian Zhuangzhuang.

He wanted to direct it himself.

After being introduced by Teacher Tian Zhuangzhuang, we directly talked about the script "Latent".

Teacher Jiang Wei is very meticulous in his work. He has watched "Latent" many times during this period. He has a good understanding of the script and proposed many details that can be improved.

After a simple exchange, Zhou Yutang also had a very intuitive understanding of Teacher Jiang Wei's ability, and asked politely: "Mr. Jiang, the current male lead is Teacher Zhang Songwen, and the female lead is Zeng Li. Do you have any comments? "

"Song Wen, your acting skills are good, what Zeng Li said"

Jiang Wei pondered for a while, and finally nodded: "I have no opinion."

Being upright and straightforward is not completely unreasonable.

There is an old saying in China that he who knows the current affairs is a hero.

Zhou Yutang's identity is an investor, not a simple film school student. He wants to control the crew, which Jiang Wei can still clearly understand.

So even though Zeng Li was not the most suitable candidate for the heroine in his opinion, he still nodded and agreed.

"Teacher Jiang, happy cooperation."

Zhou Yutang got up and shook hands with Mr. Jiang, before going back to the studio.

Now a group of reporters in the studio are taking turns squatting downstairs.

"Those Years" became a hit. Not only did Zhou Yutang become famous, everyone in the circle knew that Li Shuang was the second-in-command of Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Studio. When Zhou Yutang disappeared, they would chase her every day to ask for news about Zhou Yutang.

Out of helplessness, Sister Shuang had no choice but to call Zhou Yutang, planning to hold a press conference.

"Director Zhou, I have interviewed many directors. During the interview, they would talk about their camera movements and shooting skills, which sounded very impressive. But as far as I know, you are from the acting department of the film school, not a major. If you are a director, how did you come up with the idea to make this movie?"

"The mirroring and shooting skills you mentioned are indeed very important. I am not from a major, so I often communicate with my two assistant directors Lin Yufen, Wen Muye, and the director of photography while shooting movies. I think this is also my It’s a process of learning how to make a movie. Fortunately, I have a very good team. I only need to convey the shooting effect I want, and then confirm what kind of lens and camera position to shoot.”

"'Those Years' was a big hit at the box office, what do you think?"

"The success of a movie depends on the right time, place and people, and a variety of factors. It is not my fault alone. I just try to make a good movie. The rest mainly depends on promotion, distribution, and the cooperation of the media. Of course, The most important thing is the audience who bought the tickets and walked into the cinema. It is their support that has allowed the box office to be as good as it is today."

""Those Years" received very good market response in Wan Province and Hong Kong, will it be very happy for you?"

"To be honest, both Wanxing and Xiangjiang's box office are so high, completely beyond my expectations. I also grew up watching the movies of Brother Long and Zhou Xingchi. Now the movie can be recognized by the audience of Wanxing and Xiangjiang. It's really great. happy."

The interview is over.

Zhou Yutang answered a call from Li Xiaoping, chatting about the box office share.

I was calculating how much money I could make, and I didn't look at the way when I walked into the studio.

He bumped into a soft embrace head-on.
